Yuan Fang's book boy quickly found the manuscript, and Zhou Zhifu, Wen Sheng and others went through it briefly. As Yuan Fang said, his miscellaneous journals recorded many stories of monsters and ghosts.

   There are those who repay the kindness, those who harm others, and there are those who talk about karma, but they are just strange stories, which are not uncommon.

  O Dunyi saw these manuscripts like falling into an ice cave, no, that's not right, Yuan Fang specially emphasized those stories to him!

   He hurriedly went to see the scholars who often hang out with them, but they looked at him with disgust and testified for Yuan Fang.

  Ou Tongjuan watched this scene and couldn't help closing his eyes, he knew that this nephew was finished.

The evidence of Ou Dunyi's crime was conclusive, but he could not provide evidence of Yuan Fang's crime. Zhou Yi's eyes swept away, and he made up his mind. Just as he was about to make a final decision, he heard Gu Jingyun ask Ou Dunyi, "Young Master Ou, you said that you were being bullied by Young Master Yuan. Yes, then do you remember when you first heard a similar story, who was there, and how many stories Yuan Gongzi told in total?"

Ou Dunyi was a little disheartened, but he still recalled it carefully and said: "I remember that it was not long after the academy's test list was released. I gathered with my classmates to talk about geniuses from all over the world," Ou Dunyi pointed to several people in the hall and said: "They were all present at the time, which can be proved. We said that there are many talents in Shandong and Jiangnan. Next year, I am afraid that the students from these two places will come out on top. He said that we are also talented in Guangdong this year, and maybe we can be in the spring. Fight for a good place.”

"We are all going to participate in the autumn festival this year. Speaking of which, I can't help but count the talented students. He sighed again and again that he is not as good as them. I don't know if he will be selected this year. I went to the toilet halfway, and he followed me on the way. Then he sighed with me and said that I should not give up the qualification for the general examination last year, because the competition in ken is obviously much fiercer than the previous one. I was full of confidence, but I was apprehensive after hearing what he said, and I returned to the seat. He was a little out of his mind. He was joking at this time and said that we should be careful not to be tricked by others. He also said that some outstanding students in the imperial examinations of the past dynasties will always have accidents. "

Ou Dunyi said carefully: "Everyone couldn't help but ask, and he told us a story about a fox demon and a scholar, saying that the fox demon was afraid that the scholar would abandon her after the imperial examination, so she cast a spell before the scholar was about to enter the examination room to make him diarrhea. to miss the exam.”

"Afterwards, he went home from the banquet, but in the car he told me with a serious face that this was a real thing, but it was just a warning to everyone in the name of a demon. Let me be careful and don't follow other people's ways." Ou Dunyi sneered. , "I've taken the test twice, and I've never heard of such a thing, let alone encountered it. Naturally, I don't take it to heart, but it's very common for him to say it again and again afterward, but I don't know that."

"Unfortunately, when he said these words to me, there was no third person present, or there was only a book boy beside me, which cannot be the proof." Ou Dunyi looked at Yuan Fang, his face was very ugly, "Now it seems that he has a good plan. of."

He laughed miserably, "I admit that this is what I did, and I'm just afraid of dying. Yuan Fang can be regarded as my best friend. We have been studying together since he came to my house when he was twelve years old. What reason do I have to hurt him? Even if it turns out that he gave me the idea, it is a fact that I personally bought people to kill people, and the guilt will not be relieved, so why should I drag him into the water?"

   He looked at Yuan Fang grimly, and said word by word: "Just because what I said is true, Yuan Fang, although I have no evidence, but you and I both understand the root cause of all this."

   The smile on Yuan Fang's face could not be maintained, and everyone looked at Yuan Fang with suspicion, even the classmates who believed in him at first looked at him suspiciously.

  Because Yuan Fang and Ou Dunyi lived together, it would be easier for them to say something in private.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at Yuan Fang, but Ou Dunyi was smart for a while, knowing that he would follow his question to show weakness and pull Yuan Fang down.

   They did not have any evidence to prove that Yuan Fang was involved, but with Ou Dunyi's words alone, Yuan Fang would always live in this suspicion.

   And this is the reason why he will shoot in the future.

   Even if Yuan Fang doesn't go to jail, he can make it difficult for him.

  Gu Jingyun and Wen Sheng looked at each other, knowing that nothing would come out of the trial, so he stepped forward and said, "Sir, we have no problem, I just hope that you will listen to the wishes of the students before the judgment."

   Zhou Yi shook his beard and said, "You say it."

   "Sir, all the candidates selected by Ou Dunyi are poor students from low and low backgrounds. It is not easy to take an exam."

  The scholars behind Gu Jingyun all bowed their heads blushing. They felt that it was shameful to mention compensation in public, but they were unwilling to ask Ou Dunyi to sin, not to mention that Brother Wen repeatedly emphasized that this is what they deserved.

   Of course, the most important thing is that it wasn't them who requested the premise, but Gu Jingyun and Wen Sheng. They can be less ashamed.

   Wen Sheng's face was also slightly red, but he still looked up at Zhou Yi with a magnanimous face.

In contrast, Gu Jingyun was much more indifferent, standing in the hall and said confidently: "For example, students who come to Guangzhou to participate in the rural examination have to prepare for travel, boat, room and board, as well as writing and ink expenses, medical expenses, etc., students The family is not poor, but it hurts to go out, almost all of the family is brought along, not to mention other people in the same year, some people even have to borrow money to take the exam.”

"O Dunyi's fault alone cost them three years, and they have to take another township test in addition to physical and mental trauma," Gu Jingyun said with compassion: "Some people have been preparing for this township test for many years in the same year, and they want to join in next time. I don’t know when the tolls will be paid, so the students dared to ask the adults to decide for us, account for our losses, and ask Ou Dunyi to compensate according to the facts.”

Gu Jingyun once again took himself as an example, "For example, a student, the student is lucky, this time he was lucky enough to participate in the rural examination, so he did not need to compensate for the cost of the rural examination, but the student was repeatedly shocked, and so much time was wasted for this case, the travel expenses during the period, frightened He has to pay for the fees and lost wages."

   Zhou Yi was stunned, this, is this still a scholar?

  How can you fall into the eyes of money and smell like copper?

  Ou Tongshen had a bad intuition and said with a stern face: "It's ridiculous, Ou Dunyi has his own legal reference judgment for breaking the law, but such compensation is unheard of."

   Gu Jingyun looked at him with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if Ou Tongju has never heard of it, but now you will. You think we are unreasonable because you are also one of the defendants. As the plaintiffs, we naturally feel that we deserve it."

   "And how to judge in the end is up to Lord Zhou."

  Ou Tongjuan blushed with anger, "How can this officer be the defendant, nonsense!"

"As far as I know, the Ou family has not been separated. According to the "Da Chu Law Order", the defendant in the civil compensation case is unable to pay the compensation, and the whole family should bear it. It has something to do with the Ou Tong judgment."

  Gu Jingyun gave Wen Sheng a wink, and Wen Sheng immediately took out a large piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yi, "Master Zhou, this is what the students are waiting for. If there are any gaps, please ask the adults to fill in."

Zhou Yi took a look, saw the dense accounts above, and then looked at the final figure that needs to be paid. He felt dizzy. He sympathetically glanced at Ou Tongjuan, and then at the 20 or so shabby students below, hesitating for a while. I don't know how to judge.

  Master moved over from the back in small steps and gave him an idea in a low voice, "Sir, this is a civil part. It's better to postpone the sentence and sentence it to criminal today."

   Zhou Zhifu nodded again and again, and gave the verdict in one shot.

  O Dunyi disrupted the order of the autumn season, and the evidence of buying a murderer is conclusive. He was indirectly responsible for Chang Kuan's death, so he removed all his fame and fame, and was exiled for 3,000 miles. He never returned.

   Xu Wu was sentenced to 100 sticks for wounding and three years in prison.

  Doctor Wu was sentenced to the heaviest, fifty canes, and executed after three years.

   Wen Sheng and the others looked a little ugly when they heard the verdict, but they were only sentenced to exile.

  Gu Jingyun slightly shook his head at Wen Sheng, signaling him not to be impulsive.

   Zhou Zhifu took advantage of the situation and said: "Return Ou Dunyi and others to prison. As for the civil compensation case, postpone the trial and withdraw from the court."

   Wen Sheng shook off Gu Jingyun's hand and asked angrily, "Why did you stop me?"

   Gu Jingyun squinted his eyes and said, "Exile is not lighter than execution, but I think exile is more suitable for him."

   Vincent was not convinced.

"Three thousand miles is to go to Kaipingwei. It's a border there, and there are wars from time to time. Let's not talk about how long he can live. Do you know what is the most painful thing for exiles?" Gu Jingyun said softly: " It's despair, a life without hope, and sometimes death becomes a luxury."

   Wen Sheng was stunned, thinking of Gu Jingyun's hometown and couldn't help frowning slightly.

   Qiongzhou was a place of exile, people from the north flowed south, and people from the south flowed north. He had long thought that it was strange that Gu Jingyun lived in the south but had a standard Mandarin, but if he often came into contact with exiles from the north, it would make sense.

   Wen Sheng thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed with what he said, and then began to worry, "Will the compensation we mentioned, Lord Zhou agree?"

  Gu Jingyun said meaningfully: "Yes."

   Zhou Zhifu will of course agree, anyway, it is not his money that is compensated, as long as it can calm the anger of the scholars, of course, compensation is compensation, but it is impossible to pay so much.

After Zhou Zhifu went back, he took a closer look at the densely-packed compensation items and amounts, and pointed out the mental damage fee: "Whoever came up with this, it's too cruel. For this alone, each person will have to pay two hundred taels. Twenty-four people are four thousand eight hundred taels."

Master    also looked at it, tsk tsk admiringly said, "These names are simply worse than extortionate taxes."

   His eyes moved down, and he couldn't help saying "Huh", "Look, sir, there is also Chang Kuan's name."

   Zhou Yi hurriedly looked at it. After reading the compensation items and amounts above, he couldn't help but sigh, "Others have paid it back, but Chang Kuan's compensation is not excessive. He came to participate in the rural examination, but he lost his life."

Zhou Yi lost his mood immediately, threw the paper away, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let the Ou family go to fight with them how much they will pay. The list will be released tomorrow, and this official is really in no mood to clean up the mess for them. "
