Chapter 109 Academic Affairs
Zhou Huaishan was pushed forward by the two yamen guards who were escorting him. He staggered a few steps and staggered a few times to regain his balance.
"Your Excellency is aware that the common people really don't know what crime they have committed!"
Conscience of heaven and earth, he is working hard at home!
With all his conscience, he never thought in his whole life that he would actually study hard!
The conscience of heaven and earth, in the past, he was just trying to play with anger!
Zhou Qing stood outside, furious.
There was the sound of pointing fingers in my ears.
"I didn't expect that the one who molested the students was actually Zhou Huaishan."
"Yes. Fortunately, we cheered for him when he competed with Zhao Dacheng."
"Is there anything fishy about this matter? I don't think Zhou Huaishan is like this kind of person."
"Knowing people but not their hearts, how can a student wrong him as a teacher!"
The discussion made Zhou Qing a little top-heavy and unsteady.
Her father molested a student? @! *
The county magistrate patted the gavel again and silenced the noise outside.
"I want to ask you, Wang Le, Gao He, and Chen Guang, are you students of Huaishan Academy?"
Zhou Huaishan twitched his eyes and thought seriously.
"Your Excellency, it is clear that although Huaishan Academy is funded by ordinary people, the ordinary people have never been to the academy, so they do not know these students."
The county magistrate gave him a cold look, "Bring the plaintiff with you!"
The killing sticks struck the ground intensively, and with the voice of the yamen servant "Mighty", the three students were taken away.
Zhou Qing recognized at a glance that these three people were the three people the county magistrate mentioned.
They came here after Hu Weiyue left Huaishan Academy. Because his family was poor, they took a fancy to Huaishan Academy for non-restrictive cultivation.
It’s just that we had winter vacation not long after we arrived.
Frowning, Zhou Qing stared coldly at the three accusers.
As soon as Wang Le was brought up, when he saw Zhou Huaishan, he shrank back and looked frightened. He staggered and almost fell.
Chen Guang and Gao He beside him held him steady.
"This is the county government office, and he wouldn't dare to do it when the county magistrate is here!"
Chen Guang comforted Wang Le in a low voice.
Wang Le nodded with a pale face.
"What grievance do you have?"
When the county magistrate asked, Chen Guang took a step forward, raised his hand and pointed directly at Zhou Huaishan, "Your Excellency, it is clear that a few students here exposed Zhou Huaishan as a disrespectful teacher and forcibly harassed and molested us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Huaishan was stunned.
He looked at the student dumbfounded.
"Me? Are you molesting me? What do I like about you? Dark skin or swollen eyelids! A fat figure or bad breath?"
The disgust in his tone should not be too strong.
County magistrate
ah?
three students
ah?
Onlookers outside
Pfft hahahahaha.
Some people couldn't hold it back and laughed directly.
After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, he turned to face the county magistrate, "Your Majesty, you are aware that there are too many beautiful children in my Huaishan Academy. Even if I am worse than a beast, I will not choose them. I can't do anything!"
I can't do this, I really can't do it!
County magistrate
Look at Zhou Huaishan and those three students.
It seems, it seems. It makes sense!
Ahem, what are you thinking about?
My majesty!
The county magistrate immediately pulled back his wandering thoughts and gave a stern look.
Chen Guang then said: "Please, sir, please make the decision for us. If we couldn't stand Zhou Huaishan's beastly behavior, the three of us would never have brought my husband to the county government."
Gao He then said: "Yes, Huaishan Academy does not restrict cultivation. We thought we had found a paradise for students, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a hell on earth."
Wang Le trembled and said: "Students accuse sir. If they make false accusations, they will destroy their own future. We are all scholars. If we can't bear it, how could we do this?"
Although some people burst into laughter just now, everyone's hearts are still with these three students.
Which student is crazy and would sue his teacher for no reason!
This is risking the future.
If the county magistrate finds out that it is a false accusation, it will ruin a lifetime of studying.
The county magistrate glanced at the three students, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Guang, who spoke the most eloquently.
"You said Zhou Huaishan molested you, do you have any evidence?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Chen Guang said: "We don't know what evidence your Excellency wants. What counts as evidence for this kind of thing?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Huaishan.
"This kind of thing must be avoided. We have no evidence, and we don't know if there are witnesses, but the three of us are all victims, and we testify against each other."
After Chen Guang finished speaking, Gao He said, "Sir, we have written down the details of the matter on the petition."
The county magistrate nodded slightly.
"This matter is so serious that I cannot judge Zhou Huaishan's crime based on your complaint. We need to go further."
Before the county magistrate could finish his words, three gongs suddenly sounded from behind the crowd of onlookers outside.
As the voice sounded, there was a high-pitched shout, "Master Xuezheng is here"
Soon, a path was revealed among the onlookers that allowed people to pass.
An adult in official uniform got down from the sedan chair, glanced at the crowd, and walked straight to the lobby.
Upon hearing that the academic master had arrived, the county magistrate was startled at first. When he saw the person clearly, he frowned in surprise and then hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"The official did not greet me."
Master Xuezheng interrupted the county magistrate with a sullen face and glared at Zhou Huaishan angrily.
"You were the one who molested the student?"
Zhou Huaishan straightened his back, "I didn't."
"How presumptuous! You don't kneel down when you meet the Lord!"
As soon as Master Xuezheng finished speaking, the attendant beside him immediately gave Zhou Huaishan a kick in the leg.
Zhou Huaishan felt pain and knelt down.
Zhou Qing's heart tightened as he watched. He wanted to step forward but was blocked.
Master Xuezheng didn't even look at Zhou Huaishan. He just looked outside and said to the people watching: "I was patrolling here, and suddenly I heard about this. I was very angry. Don't worry, everyone, I will give an explanation to the students all over the world!"
After finishing speaking, he said to the county magistrate: "How do you want to judge?"
The county magistrate stood bowed to one side, "This case lacks any witnesses or evidence of motive. According to the procedure,"
"Procedure? Does this kind of case need any motive for committing the crime? As for the witnesses and physical evidence, Huaishan Academy belongs to him. Whatever he wants to do, he can't just do whatever he wants!
I heard that Huaishan Academy does not accept students to study.
Humph, there is no reason in this world that studying should not be subject to self-cultivation.
It seems to me that you are clearly using the guise of recruiting students to satisfy your animal desires! "
Zhou Huaishan, who had made everyone laugh just now, was actually kneeling on the ground now.
Faced with the dirty water thrown by the academic leader, he said nothing.
"You have to go through the process, and I respect your case-solving process. However, this matter has a really bad impact. You must close the case within three days."
The Master of Academic Affairs finished his speech, and the County Magistrate hurriedly accepted the promise.
Chen Guang clenched his fist and took a step forward.
"Now the prefect, Mr. Hu, once taught at Huaishan Academy. He has an extraordinary relationship with Zhou Huaishan. He also hopes that Mr. Academic Affairs can sincerely make decisions for the students."
These words were said sharply and clearly.
You don’t want officials to protect each other.
Zhou Qing stood outside and suddenly felt that something was not right about this matter.
Let’s look at Zhou Huaishan’s reaction again
Something even more wrong.
An honest man, Zhou Huaishan, might be frightened at this moment.
But this man is a handsome prince.
He has never seen any famous scenes.
Why are you so quiet now?
Thank you to Changmi Tianya for the reward! Thanks to the cute little Chanchantou for the tip!
