Chapter 117 Rejection
Zhou Huaishan's confession shocked not only Song Qi, but also the villagers in Qingyang Village.
They never believed that Zhou Huaishan could do that kind of thing!
The clan leader watched Zhou Huaishan being taken away in bewilderment. He turned to the county magistrate and said, "Sir, Huaishan will never do that kind of thing. This case is full of doubts. I beg you to retry it."
Outside, the villagers of Qingyang Village cried out for mercy.
Mrs. Zhao became proud when she saw that Zhou Huaishan had been convicted.
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, who knows what evil intentions Zhou Huaishan has!"
The clan leader glared at Mrs. Zhao angrily. There were some things he wouldn't say here, but that didn't mean he wouldn't do anything when he returned to the village.
Only Zhou Huaishan has Huaishan Academy, and Qingyang Village and the prefect are inextricably linked.
Without Zhou Huaishan, Qingyang Village would just be Qingyang Village.
He must not let Zhou Huaishan be convicted like this.
The clan leader knelt down and choked with sobs: "Your Excellency is aware that Zhou Huaishan must be innocent. I beg your Excellency to investigate again."
Song Qi looked down at the clan leader.
After a moment of silence, Song Qi's eyes flashed with light. He looked at the county magistrate again and said: "Since so many people are interceding for Zhou Huaishan, I am a little doubtful whether he really committed the crime."
As soon as Song Qi said this, Chen Guang and the others looked at Song Qi.
You don’t know whether Zhou Huaishan committed the crime or not!
You asked us to trick Zhou Huaishan, and now that Zhou Huaishan has confessed, you say this again?
How about playing?
Meeting Chen Guang's eyes, Song Qi coughed.
"As an academic administrator, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the students of this province. However, although Zhou Huaishan is the dean of Huaishan Academy, he is still a student of our province. His case"
After a pause, Song Qi said with an upright face: "Since so many people say that Zhou Huaishan is unjust, maybe there is another mastermind behind Zhou Huaishan, and he is just being used."
County magistrate
This is an obscenity case, not a murder case. Thank you!
These three people said that Zhou Huaishan molested them, and Zhou Huaishan admitted it himself. You have another mastermind?
Why does this thing have another mastermind?
Whatever you want.
The official level suppresses people to death. If you say there is another mastermind, there is another mastermind.
The county magistrate smiled kindly at Song Qi and said, "Okay, all subordinates will listen to your lord. Since your lord thinks there is another mastermind, will this case continue to be tried again?"
Song Qi
Why does this sound so awkward?
Mrs. Zhao.
He was already convicted, so why should he be retried again?
What should I do if Zhou Huaishan is acquitted again?
Mrs. Zhao looked at the clan leader in horror.
The clan leader gave her a cold look in return.
Mrs. Zhao's legs trembled and she fell to the ground.
Beside Cheng Wu Niang, her palms were covered in cold sweat from fear.
The lively court trial ended in a strange and nondescript manner.
Those students from Qinghe Academy who had originally planned to hold up all their energy and make a scene in front of the court were filled with indignation.
When Sun Jin was expelled from the examination room during the government examination, Qinghe Academy lost an adult along with it.
I originally thought that as long as Zhou Huaishan was defeated, Qinghe Academy would be able to regain some control.
Maybe then we can take the opportunity to throw the blame for Sun Jin onto Zhou Huai Mountain, so that both Sun Jin and Qinghe Academy will be innocent.
But now, the academic master who had always been looking towards the three students suddenly changed his mind in front of the court.
This is really infuriating.
No matter what others thought, Zhou Qing looked at Song Qi and became more and more certain that Song Qi's target was Hu Weiyue.
Her father was just a springboard for Song Qi to overthrow Hu Weiyue.
Her father's sudden confession disrupted Song Qi's arrangements and forced Song Qi to react like this in court.
The arrangement was disrupted, what will Song Qi do next?
Touching her chin, Zhou Qing turned around and planned to join her father in the cell.
"Sister Qing."
Zhou Qing was about to leave when Cheng Wu called out to him.
After walking up to Zhou Qing in a few steps, Cheng Wu muttered awkwardly and awkwardly, his eyes wandering around Zhou Qing, but he didn't have the courage to look at her.
"Um, Sister Qing, will taking medicine help with your illness?"
Zhou Qing
My illness?
Oh, I like women!
Suddenly realizing what Cheng Wu was saying, Zhou Qing shook his head sadly, "Medicine and stone are ineffective. This is what I will do for the rest of my life. Don't delay yourself."
Zhou Qing patted Cheng Wu's arm and looked at Cheng Wu with the expression of an elder having high hopes for a younger generation.
Cheng Wu took a deep breath and sighed deeply.
"What about the little boss? Does he know?"
Zhou Qing lamented: "He knows, but he likes men, so we get along pretty well."
Chengwu
At this moment, all the shock in my heart turned into a thick, "I'll wipe it!"
Zhou Qing
While they were talking, Cheng Wu's mother came from behind, pulled Cheng Wu away, and glared at Zhou Qing angrily, "Stay away from my son!"
Chengwu pulled his mother's arm and said, "Sister Qing, please go. Don't worry. If the magistrate asks about Uncle Huaishan again, we promise to speak for him."
Zhou Qing nodded gratefully towards Cheng Wu, "Thank you very much."
After that, he turned around and left.
As soon as she stepped forward, Cheng Wu Niang jumped up and slapped Cheng Wu, "You stupid big guy, why did you let her bully you?"
Cheng Wu looked at Zhou Qing's back, with red eyes and choked with sobs: "Mom, stop talking, Sister Qing, she. Oh, mother, I agree to go on a blind date with a girl from Liu's village."
Cheng Wu Niang was cursing when she suddenly heard this sentence and was so happy that she almost lost her balance.
His son suddenly enlightened?
Here, the mother and son were talking as they returned to the village.
There, Zhou Qing went straight to the cell.
However, the jailer did not let Zhou Qing in this time.
The academician ordered that no one was allowed to visit Zhou Huaishan during the second trial of the case.
Even with Xu Feng's relationship, the jailer did not dare to disobey the academician.
If he could not see Zhou Huaishan, he would not know what Zhou Huaishan was planning.
Did he just confess his guilt because he was afraid of being punished or did he have other plans?
Or, did he simply want to completely end his own path to the imperial examination through this method, so that he would never have to study again?
Zhou Huaishan could do it.
And this was more in line with his behavior.
But.
No, no matter what, she could not let her father destroy himself like this!
Zhou Qing turned back from the cell and walked home, thinking quickly, thinking about how to deal with it.
As she was walking, she ran into the owner of the embroidery workshop.
"Miss Zhou."
A shout woke Zhou Qing from her deep thoughts. Zhou Qing looked up in surprise and saw the owner of the embroidery shop standing opposite her.
He held a list and several banknotes in his hand.
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the banknotes. Zhou Qing said to the owner of the embroidery shop: "What are you doing?"
The owner of the embroidery shop was not polite and said directly: "I signed a contract with Miss Zhou before. I gave you such a high share because of Zhou Huaishan's character. Now that Zhou Huaishan has done such a despicable thing, our embroidery shop does not want to continue this cooperation."
As he said, he stuffed the list and banknotes into Zhou Qing's arms.
