A Yamen official from the Bingjing yamen
In fact, she did not dare to come to a conclusion.
"But at least there are two points to choose from. If Guo He died on the night of the 12th, then Lin Shu was lying. The evidence is conclusive. Even if he was not the murderer, he must have been at the scene at that time. He must have had something to do with it. However, if Guo He died after the morning of the 13th, then Lin Shu's explanation is too far-fetched. He was obviously nervous and guilty. There must be something wrong with him."
At this moment, a child entered the room.
He came in with a bowl of medicine in his hand. He bowed to Teacher Yu, then placed the bowl on the low table.
"Teacher, it's time for you to take your medicine. This is the medicine that Young Master Mo prescribed. It has just been brewed. Drink it while it's hot."
Teacher Yu raised his hand and waved.
He was not in the mood to drink the medicine.
"But if you don't drink it …"
"Take it away, take it away."
Stubborn little old man!
The child continued to persuade him patiently, "Teacher, you should drink the medicine. I know you are thinking about Guo He, but you still have to drink the medicine."
Teacher Yu coughed a few times, "I told you to take it away."
Seeing this, Shang Zhuo stepped forward and said worriedly, "Teacher, you should drink the medicine. You don't need it. Drink it and rest."
Ji Yunshu also said, "Teacher, since you trust me so much, this one will investigate the matter thoroughly. But right now, your health is more important. The medicine that Mo Ruo has prescribed is not something an ordinary doctor would prescribe. Drink it and have a good rest."
One by one, he persuaded!
Teacher Yu had no choice but to drink the medicine. Then, he let the child help him into the inner room.
When the child came out, he sighed and his black eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He said angrily, "Really, what a waste of Teacher's hard work, but those students are so disappointing. Guo He was raised by Teacher, but he became more and more mischievous, disappointing Teacher very much. He always smelled of alcohol in the Academy and caused me to suffer. I often helped him disperse the smell of alcohol to prevent Teacher from finding out. Come to think of it, I am so stupid.
Even though you are not as smart as Guo He, at least you respect your teacher and know how to paint, unlike Lin Shu. He was led astray by Guo He. After Guo He left, there was Lin Shu. However, Lin Shu was smart and hid it well. He did not drink openly in the Academy, but secretly. On the night before Guo He left, I bumped into him in the corridor of the backyard. He reeked of alcohol and his face was red. Tell me, isn't this kind of student a disgrace to Teacher? "
The child was heartbroken and angry.
He shook his head and was about to leave.
But —
"Wait a minute!"
Ji Yunshu called out to him.
She stepped forward and asked, "You said that on the day Guo He left, you bumped into Lin Shu in the corridor and he reeked of alcohol?"
"Yes, he must have been secretly drinking."
"Then do you know what kind of alcohol he was drinking?"
"You don't know? I have never drunk alcohol. " The child pouted angrily, but after thinking about it carefully, his eyes lit up. "However, although I don't know what kind of alcohol it was, I have smelled it. It was the kind of alcohol that Guo He secretly drank in the library every time. Because every time I went to clean the library, I could always smell that smell. It was like... the smell of pine flowers. Lin Shu also drank that kind of alcohol that night. Tell me, isn't Lin Shu led astray by Guo He?"
As soon as the apprentice said the word 'Songhua', Ji Yunshu suddenly understood.
She said with certainty, "Lin Shu does not drink alcohol at all. In fact, he hates the smell of alcohol."
Huh?
The child did not understand, "How can that be? I clearly bumped into him reeking of alcohol. He must have secretly drunk. "
"But it was only that time, right?"
"Well... it was indeed only that time. But maybe he had secretly drunk it before and just hid it very well."
The child insisted on his own opinion!
However, Ji Yunshu already had an answer in her heart.
Shang Zhuo, who was beside her, did not understand why she was asking about drinking in detail. He asked, "Teacher, did you think of something?"
"I think..."
She had not finished her words.
"Come to think of it, that Lin Shu is the murderer!"
Who?
Suddenly, a few people dressed in official robes appeared outside the door. Each of them was tall, had cold and stern faces, and sharp eyes. At a glance, they looked like the Ghost Constables of the King of Hell. Especially their faces, one could tell at a glance that they were fierce and ferocious characters. Their bronze skin was covered with short beards, and they looked very rough and wild! They were also holding wide and flat machetes in their hands, and they looked very imposing!
The words "Strangers Are Not Allowed" were deeply etched in their foreheads. Obviously, they were not officials that ordinary people could afford to offend.
The officers of the Bingjing County government were really ruthless!
The leader had a serious face, and his dark eyes seemed to be steeped in poison, making people tremble a little.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn!
The students of the academy gathered in the backyard, where the skeleton was placed.
Jing Rong was not there!
Logically speaking, such a sensational event, why did he not come?
At this moment, those officials stood majestically in front of the crowd!
And Lin Shu was being held by two of the yamen runners.
He could not move!
"Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me?" He was furious!
The leader of the officials walked fiercely to Lin Shu, and without saying a word, he fiercely hit the hilt of the machete in his hand on Lin Shu's stomach.
Ugh!
Lin Shu's face was distorted, and his neck was red from the pain.
He felt like he was about to vomit bile.
The man frowned and said fiercely, "Why did we arrest you? Why do you ask? Now that you have killed someone, you are a criminal, and naturally, you should be arrested. Just wait to go back to the yamen with us to be interrogated, but you better admit it yourself, lest you be tortured. "
Wow, a confession under torture!
Lin Shu's stomach hurt for a long time before he could speak, "I... did not kill anyone!"
"There is evidence to prove that you are the murderer. Boy, how dare you deny it."
After saying that, he used the hilt of the machete to hit Lin Shu's stomach again!
Lin Shu was in so much pain that tears came out. The bystanders felt sorry for him, but no one dared to step forward.
Everyone knew that the officials of Jing County government were all reincarnations of the King of Hell, and even the county magistrate did not dare to offend them.
Especially the leader, Lu Hu.
He was famous for his bad temper.
Lu Hu said in a contemptuous and sarcastic tone, "I know that you are all students of Mingshan Academy, and in the future, you will all become high-ranking officials. But now, you are all a bunch of brats. If you make a mistake, you should be punished and arrested. If you are not convinced, then wait until you become an official in the future, then come and teach me a lesson."
Really aggressive!
