It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 393 Dispute
Sun De probably felt that Eucommia had helped him say something that Bie hadn't said for a long time, so he nodded in haste.

"You all helped greet the guests and served wine and food in the front that day. Have you ever noticed any unusual people or things among the guests?" Yuan Mu didn't intend to waste time, and asked the kneeling below A few boys.

The boys had also seen the methods of Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun in the Liao family before, and they knew that if they faltered and talked about him, they would definitely be punished mercilessly. Fortunately, with their previous experience, They had seriously recalled what happened on the night of their eldest and young master's wedding the night before, and now they probably knew what was going on when they were asked.

"My lord, my little one, remember that there is... yes... one, one thing!" I didn't expect that among the few people who were about to speak, the first person to speak was Sun De, but after he opened his head, he immediately Turning to look at Du Zhong, he kept beckoning him.

Du Zhong curled his lips helplessly, just like he did just now, and said again: "There was a guest who came to congratulate him that night. It was a bit strange. He didn't know when he left at first. He ran back again and said that he wanted to find his outer robe. He said that the outer robe was dirty and he took it off, and he didn't know where he forgot it when he was drunk.

After others heard about it, they asked him where he had been before the banquet, but he couldn't tell. People hurried away. "

"Did you witness this with your own eyes?" Yuan Mu asked Du Zhong.

Du Zhong shook his head: "My lord, I didn't see this with my own eyes. It was Sun De. He said that the more anxious and frightened he was, the more speechless he became. Not only was he anxious, but others also became impatient, so yesterday At night, he pulled us and said that we are all quick-spoken, and he would tell us everything he could remember, whether it would be useful, and if he was too anxious to speak, he would Let's help him.

There was only one thing he talked about last night, so when he said one thing, I guess it was this.Sun De, am I right?Is this what you want to tell adults? "

Sun De, who was asked by Eucommia, was still very nervous, but he didn't need to speak at the moment, so he nodded hastily.

"Who is that guest's name and identity, do you know?" Yuan Mu nodded to Du Zhong, and then asked Sun De.

Sun De shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know!"

Yuan Mu didn't ask further, and looked at the others: "What do you want to say?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and one person said: "My lord, that night, the Eldest Young Master and some of his classmates seemed to have had a little dispute, which seemed to make the Eldest Young Master unhappy."

"Oh? What's going on, tell me." Yuan Mu seemed very interested in this matter.

"Returning to my lord, at the banquet that day, at first the master brought the eldest young master to toast together, and later the master went to entertain other things, and the rest of the young master's classmates and the like were greeted by the young master himself.

Those classmates have frequent contacts with the young master on weekdays. They often come and go in and out of our house. The relationship should be pretty good. I don’t know what happened that day. Know how to type a few words, don't understand those who are good and bad, right and wrong, you can see that they were pretty good at the beginning, but then they didn't know what happened, and they had a dispute.

Some of those few people said some allusion, my young master used it incorrectly, and the young master was naturally not convinced. They insisted on their own words, and no one was convinced by the other. Later, the young master left and said that he would go to investigate. The classics came back to reason with them, and then left...

The rest of the people didn't know what they said, and then suddenly they all laughed and started booing, and I couldn't get close to them, so I couldn't hear what they were saying, anyway, that laugh...it doesn't sound like anything. intentional. "

"Then among these people, is there anyone you can remember their names and recognize their faces?" Yuan Mu asked.

The young man thought for a while: "I don't recognize anything else. There is a prince who studies in the same academy as the young master. In the past, he would not often run to the house with the young master. The others are probably related to the young master. Those who study together, but those who don’t come to the house often, I can’t recognize them.”

"What is the name of that prince? Where does he live?"

The boy who spoke just now thought for a while: "Young Master Wang's name is Wang Ji, and his family seems to live on the side of Caigen Hutong.

My lord, this prince did not have any disputes with my young master that day. Instead, when they were arguing about poetry and allusions, he kept persuading my young master to make peace on both sides, lest they would quarrel. One. "

Yuan Mu nodded, and motioned to the yamen of the criminal department: "You ask a yamen of the county government to lead the way, and quickly bring this Wang Ji!"

The yamen got the order and called a young yamen from the county government to lead the way. The two left quickly, and after a while they went back and forth, and brought back a man who looked like a shy scholar.

"You are Wang Ji?" Yuan Mu sat on the table and sized him up, "A classmate who has a close relationship with Liao Wenbo?"

Even though Wang Ji, like Liao Wenbai, won the Juren Award, and was about to become a Jinshi in the next step, he usually had a bit of arrogance about his fame, but now because he knew that the person sitting in the hall was the candidate from Jingji Road. Mr. Xing was also very nervous, knelt down tremblingly, and replied cautiously: "My lord, my student is Wang Ji. Brother Liao and I have been classmates for many years, and our friendship is indeed much closer than others."

"Okay, since that's the case, let me ask you, were you present at the banquet for Liao Wenbo's marriage that day? Did Liao Wenbo have a dispute with any of you?" Yuan Mu asked.

"My lord, it's true..." Wang Ji didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly replied, "Brother Liao was very happy that day, so everyone was very happy, and it was inevitable that they would be greedy, so they drank a few more glasses, and the wine became stronger. Afterwards, I don’t know what happened, and after talking, we started to argue, some said it was the shadow of a candle and the sound of an axe, while others said it was the alliance of the Golden Chamber..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Master Liao jumped up immediately when he heard this, pointed at Wang Ji and shouted loudly, "You people who have read sage books and have achieved fame are naturally talking about poetry and poetry. I'm afraid you drank too much that night, and your memory is messed up!"

Only then did Wang Ji suddenly come to his senses, shuddered, shook his body quickly, and said with his upper and lower teeth fighting: "Yes, yes, yes, what the students argued with their classmates that night was all about writing lyrics and composing poems. next to it!"
