Fang Yun looked at Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Hongzhuang who were chatting enthusiastically and quickly walked out of the door.
A High Scholar in black was standing outside the door. His face was dark and his eyes were bright.
Both parties greeted each other. Fang Yundao asked, "May I ask who this old friend of yours is?"
"Do you know Wang Zhengying?"
Fang Yun's face immediately darkened and said, "You know Wang Zhengying from the academy?"
"Yes."
"His father is my teacher. Although I have never met him, I have heard of him. Who are you? What do you have to do with him? "Fang Yun vaguely guessed a possibility.
"My name is Bao Han, a High Scholar from the academy and from Mi Province. I met him two years ago and we have similar interests. We talked through the night and slept together. "Bao Han's breathing was unstable and he was a little nervous.
Fang Yun stood at the door and looked around. He smiled and said, "Come to my study room to talk."
"Yes."
The two entered the study room one after the other.
"Please take a seat." Fang Yun sat behind the table.
Bao Han waited for Fang Yun to take a seat before sitting down cautiously and secretly sizing up the top High Scholar of the ten nations.
Fang Yun straightened his back and placed his arms on the table. He said, "Brother Bao, please go ahead."
Bao Han nodded and said, "Just 15 minutes ago, Brother Zhengying's follower came to my place and said that Brother Zhengying was framed for stealing his classmate's heirloom dragon and phoenix jade pendant. I asked carefully and found out that Brother Zhengying had complained to a few of his classmates that he had spent too much money on the third daughter of the Huang family and was short of money. Today, a High Scholar who was close to him had his heirloom jade pendant stolen. He knew that the teachers from the academy searched and found that the jade pendant was hidden in Brother Zhengying's bedding but it had been crushed. The Headmaster of the Academy was furious and sent Brother Zhengying to the yamen. The owner of the jade pendant also asked Brother Zhengying to compensate. "" It is said that the jade pendant used to belong to a Hanlin and was nourished by talent. "It is very beneficial for scholars. The market price is 3000 taels of silver and it is comparable to an ordinary house. "Bao Han said.
Fang Yundao: "What do you think?"
"Brother Zhengying is a loyal and honest man, it is impossible for him to steal other people's treasures. When he was in trouble, he would rather eat pickled vegetables and cornbread than do such a thing! Furthermore. That's a blood jade worth three thousand taels. No matter how stupid Brother Zhengying is, it's impossible for him to steal such a valuable treasure. "Bao Han said.
Fang Yundao: "Are you sure that he was framed? Is that why you came to me?"
"Yes! Although the headmaster and teacher said that there were witnesses and material evidence, his servant said that Brother Zhengying kept shouting that he was wronged. He even said that if he didn't prove his innocence, he would die to prove his innocence. But that's not the most important thing. "
"What's the most important thing?" Fang Yun asked.
Bao Han's eyes turned red and he couldn't hold it in anymore. She said with grief and indignation, "I don't know who reported this news to the Huang Family, but the Huang Family's Head forced Third Miss Huang to write a letter to break off her love and gave it to Brother Zhengying. After Brother Zhengying saw the letter, he couldn't stop crying and even fainted. He almost went crazy. "
Fang Yun's eyes turned cold. "This means that even if Brother Zhengying is cleared of the charges, there will be cracks in his relationship with Third Miss Huang and it will be difficult to recover. That's the most important thing. Isn't that right? " Fang Yun immediately believed that it was done by Prince Kang's residence or the Guan family. That day, Guan Changyu used Wang Zhengying's future to threaten Mr Wang in order to buy the Prolonging Fruit. Today, the young duke suffered a great loss and would definitely act immediately. The young duke had an ulterior motive. He was pointing his sword at himself.
Fang Yundao: "Brother Zhengying didn't live in vain to have a good friend like you. I already understand this matter. However. Find Brother Zhengying's servant and tell him the style of the jade pendant. Maybe it's the one I gave to Mr Wang, and Mr Wang gave it to Brother Zhengying. Brother Zhengying … maybe he took the wrong one. Since that jade pendant is broken. I'll compensate for him! "…
Bao Han was stunned and suddenly understood. Wang Zhengying couldn't possibly plead guilty, but there were witnesses and evidence. He couldn't be completely exonerated. Compensating the wrong person was the best way.
"Okay, I'll ask Brother Zhengying's servant to come over immediately."
Fang Yun called Zhao Hongzhuang to the study.
"What happened?" Zhao Hongzhuang asked.
Fang Yun told her what happened.
Zhao Hongzhuang immediately said, "It must be the young duke's doing! Don't worry, as long as the servant tells me the shape of the jade pendant, I can immediately find the Empress Dowager and take out a similar jade pendant. No one will find out. "
"When the time comes, I'll rely on you." Fang Yundao.
"But, what will you do after rescuing Wang Zhengying?"
"I'll personally go to the Huang family to propose marriage!" Fang Yun said slowly.
Zhao Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes flashed. She said, "As expected of Fang Zhenguo, your way of doing things is so different. However, what if the Huang family doesn't agree? "Zhao Hongzhuang looked slyly at Fang Yun after she finished speaking.
"They won't agree even if I personally propose marriage. Whoever marries someone from such a short-sighted family will be unlucky! How many people in this world are worthy of me, Fang Yun, acting as a matchmaker? "Fang Yundao.
"What a crazy lord!" Zhao Hongzhuang praised with a smile.
"I'm not crazy, I'm just doing what I should do!" Fang Yundao.
Zhao Hongzhuang nodded. She said, "What about the young duke?"
"Since he made me pay three thousand taels of silver, he has to pay me back with interest in the end. Moreover, it's a compound interest! Now, let the interest slowly increase, and I'll take it all back in the end! "Fang Yun said firmly.
"It's best if you think that way. I'm afraid that you'll be hot-headed and directly attack the young duke and fall into his trap," Zhao Hongzhuang said. The witch doctor and his army of beauties …
"I won't. I'm not that stupid. If I can chisel a hole in a turtle's shell, I don't believe that I can't peel off the young duke's skin!" Fang Yun said coldly.
"You … you're right. The young duke went too far this time. He clearly has a conflict with you, but he harmed someone unrelated to him. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it either. If I don't fight back this time, who knows what he'll do next. "
"If he fights with me openly, I'll deal with him as I see fit. However, if he uses such despicable methods against me again, I'll let him know that he chose the wrong opponent!" Fang Yundao said.
"No matter what, you must think it through. If you need anything, you must contact me. Not for you, but for myself! I'll take revenge for the Sangfroid Prince! "Zhao Hongzhuang looked resolutely at Fang Yun.
"Alright."
Not long after, Wang Zhengying's servant came over. He also dictated the shape of the jade pendant. Without waiting for Fang Yun to pick up his brush, Zhao Hongzhuang drew it out in a few strokes. The servant repeatedly nodded in agreement.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that Zhao Hongzhuang's painting skills were at least at the first level. She was close to the second level.
"I'll go get the jade pendant now. Then I'll go to the yamen in the capital! "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
"No, we should go to Mingzhi Academy first and rummage through Wang Zhengying's luggage."
Zhao Hongzhuang immediately understood and said, "Then I'll ask someone to send a message to Wang Zhengying." After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Not long after, Zhao Hongzhuang returned and handed the jade pendant to Fang Yun. Then they went to Mingzhi Academy together. On the way. Zhao Hongzhuang asked someone to send a letter to the dean of Mingzhi Academy.
Fang Yun also sent a letter to Mr. Wang, who was far away in the Great Yuan Mansion.
It was late at night, and the carriage stopped in front of Mingzhi Academy.
Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang got off the carriage one after the other and saw seven or eight old men standing at the gate of Mingzhi Academy.
Those people bowed together and said, "Greetings, Great Elder Princess."
"You're welcome. I just came with someone. The person is Fang Yun, "Zhao Hongzhuang said.
"Fang Yun? Are you Fang Yun of Jiangzhou? "Everyone came over in surprise.
Fang Yun cupped his hands and said, "Yes, it's me. Wang Zhengying is my teacher's son. After hearing what he said, I felt strange. After asking in detail, I realized that it might be a misunderstanding. "
"Oh? What kind of misunderstanding? "The dean asked.
"His servant described the shape of the jade pendant in detail. It's very similar to the jade pendant I gave to Mr. Wang. Brother Zhengying must have taken it by mistake. I heard that Brother Zhengying's residence has been closed. I'll go in and look for it. Maybe I can find the jade pendant, "Fang Yun said.
Together with you, the Reeds and Rushes
Everyone in the academy looked at each other. In the end, the dean sighed and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's invite Fang Wenhou to Wang Zhengying's residence. Maybe he can find the jade pendant there."
Under the guidance of the dean, Fang Yun entered Wang Zhengying's residence. As expected, he "found" the jade pendant that looked very similar.
Fang Yundao said, "Brother Zhengying was framed and incoherent for a moment, so he forgot about the jade pendant. When he sees the jade pendant, he will definitely wake up!"
"Maybe so," the dean said vaguely.
After that. Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang went to the Yamen of the capital city that very night. Then they asked Magistrate Qin to hold a trial in the middle of the night. Then they invited the person who stole the jade pendant to officially hear the case.
Some yamen runners stood in the hall of the Yamen. More than a dozen luminous pearls lit up the hall as if it were daytime.
Magistrate Qin sat in the main seat, and an official of the Judicial Department in the capital city sat beside him. Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang sat aside.
A High Scholar with red eyes and messy hair stood in the middle of the hall. His eyes were clear, but there was still a trace of madness in them.
Everyone waited in silence for fifteen minutes before they heard hurried footsteps outside.
An old man and a young man walked in front. The young man was wearing a dark blue scholar's robe, while the old man was wearing a black High Scholar's robe.
The old High Scholar entered the hall and didn't care that there was a Yamen magistrate sitting there. He scanned the hall and asked, "Where is Fang Zhenguo?"
Fang Yun stood up and smiled, "Fang Yun is here."
The old High Scholar was overjoyed and said, "We don't want the three thousand taels of silver, but we would like you to personally write an 'Epigraph of My Shack' as a gift! I am extremely grateful! " Thank you so much! "He looked at Fang Yun eagerly.
Fang Yun took a closer look and saw that the father and son's expressions were not fake. Zhao Hongzhuang had already sent people to investigate and found that the High Scholar's family did not have any connections with the Kang family. It was very likely that someone from the Academy stole the jade pendant and placed it in Wang Zhengying's blanket. This way, the High Duke would not be exposed.
Fang Yundao said, "If Magistrate Qin agrees, I can write an 'Epigraph of My Shack' as compensation."
Magistrate Qin looked unhappily at the old High Scholar who was roaring in the courtroom. He coughed lightly and said, "The compensation should be decided by both parties. Since both parties have agreed, then I judge that Wang Zhengying must compensate the victim with a piece of 'Epigraph of My Shack' personally written by Fang Yun. Once the compensation has been paid, the matter will be settled. The courtroom is dismissed!" He then slammed his gavel and stood up to chat with Zhao Hongzhuang.
Fang Yun wrote an 'Epigraph of My Shack' on the spot and gave it to the old High Scholar.
"Haha, let alone a mere jade pendant, even if you use all your possessions to exchange for an 'Epigraph of My Shack' personally written by Fang Yun, it would still be worth it! Worth it! Good writing! Good writing! You scoundrel, learn more from Fang Zhenguo in the future! "The old High Scholar then slapped his son's head hard.
