It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 395 The Study Room
That Xu Zishi was suddenly scolded, and he was also taken aback. He came back to his senses, calmed down, frowned and looked at Yuan Mu who had just scolded him, lifted his robe and slowly knelt down: "Student Xu Zishi, I have no regrets Heart, I don't know what crime is there!"

Yuan Mu looked at him carefully: "What did you do on the night of Liao Wenbai's marriage, do you still want to ask me if it's okay?"

When Yuan Mu mentioned the night of Liao Wenbo's marriage, Xu Zishi's face changed slightly, but he still stood upright: "The student did go to congratulate Brother Liao that day, and he drank a few more glasses during the dinner, and he was a little drunk. After dinner, I went home, and when I woke up the next day, I couldn’t remember what happened the night before, and I thought I hadn’t violated the law.”

"Oh? Then I have to ask, when did you leave that night? Why did you leave and come back?" Yuan Mu asked sharply, "What did you say during the dinner? Could it be true that after sleeping all night, you would lose everything?" Don't remember? If you insist that you can't remember, then I don't mind letting the water and fire stick to refresh you!"

Before, Xu Zishi wanted to put on the airs of others to make himself look more scholarly, but now he heard Yuan Mu asked something that made him feel guilty, and he couldn't help but say that he was about to use torture, so he panicked: "How can you, my lord?" Torture people for no reason? I think I did the right thing, and I hope that adults will not listen to the slander of villains and blame good people!"

"My lord! The villain is absolutely not lying! He was the one who bullied my young master in public that day, and made fun of our young mistress who just passed through the door!" The servant of the Liao family saw that Yuan Mu kept saying that he wanted to use torture, and saw Xu Zishi was so frightened that he spoke so convincingly, he was afraid that Yuan Mu would turn his head and blame him again, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to yell.

In fact, he might not have recognized Xu Zishi at first, but just now Wang Ji had said that indecent joke was made by Xu Zishi. Now, in order to prove that he is a useful person in front of his master and wife, the boy He immediately acted as if he had seen and heard it with his own eyes and recognized it with his own eyes.

Even Sun De, who was stammering, was too late to speak, so he nodded hurriedly from the sidelines.

With a sullen face, Mu Liuyun didn't let himself laugh, and sighed in his heart, the two-way board at the Liao's house the day before was indeed not in vain, quietly today, how enthusiastic is he!

It was Wang Ji, who had made it clear before that Xu Zishi was brought to the front of the hall, but he knelt aside and remained silent, wishing that everyone could not see him and forget his existence.

This is not surprising, the Liao family is naturally one that Wang Ji does not want to provoke, but Liao Wenbai is dead after all, but Xu Zishi is alive.If Xu Zishi was really related to Liao Wenbai's death, then that's fine. If Xu Zishi was finally cleared of suspicion after a thorough investigation, then this matter would be rather embarrassing.

No matter how the Liao family opened an academy to accept students, Mr. Liao's official career has already been cut in half by himself, but Xu Zishi is different. He is not much worse than Liao Wenbai in terms of talent. I dug a hole!
Yuan Mu looked at Xu Zishi, and questioned: "You just had a banquet at Liao's house that day, why didn't you even lose your outer robe? If you really can't remember where you left your outer robe, I can do you a favor." I asked my people to search carefully up and down the Liao's house, and they must be able to find them, but at that time, you will know that those who have done bad things and refuse to confess themselves, but still stubbornly resist, we should bring criminal justice How did you greet me?"

When Xu Zishi heard this, he couldn't care less about pretending to be aloof, and said with a very ugly expression on his face: "My lord, the student didn't want to hide anything, but there are some things that I really can't remember clearly!
That day I went to Brother Liao's house for a banquet and a wedding drink. After a few drinks, I got a little tipsy. I did say some inappropriate things...but those were all jokes after drinking, so they can't be taken seriously! "

"Jokes after drinking can't be true, so where did you go when you left the banquet after halfway through?" Yuan Mu asked.

Xu Zishi was speechless, and said falteringly: "I... I was drunk that day, and I was very tired, so I just found a place to take a nap for a while, woke up and walked home in a daze. I will go back and look for it, but I don’t know where it is lost, if I can’t find it, forget it.”

"Is it possible that you have to take off your outer robe when you are taking a nap at someone else's house?" Mu Liuyun asked.

Xu Zishi didn't know what kind of official she was, but since she could sit in front of the hall and ask questions, she didn't dare to ignore her, and quickly explained: "When I was at the banquet that night, someone spilled some wine on my robe. On top, it got wet, and I was dizzy from drinking, and the wet robe stuck to my body was uncomfortable, so I took it off and I don’t know where to throw it..."

At this time, a young servant who had been kneeling aside and hadn't made a fuss before suddenly seemed hesitant to speak.

Yuan Mu saw it and nodded at him: "Do you have something to say? But it's okay!"

"My lord, I saw this Mr. Xu at home that day." After obtaining Yuan Mu's permission, the young man said cautiously, "When I was working that day, I saw Mr. Xu from the old man. The young master came out of that courtyard.

He was walking in a hurry at the time, and it was dark at night, so I didn't see it too clearly. At first, I thought it was my young master, because their bodies were similar, and I wanted to catch up with the young master and ask why he didn't wear a coat. Running out, it's very cold at night, don't catch the cold, catch up two steps and find it's not my young master, so ignore it.

I just saw today that he didn't recognize him, I looked at it from the sidelines, the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, the jade hairpin on the head was exactly the same as the one that night!That's how I figured it was his! "

"Bold and unreasonable, what else do you have to say?" Yuan Mu stared at Xu Zishi, who was ashen-faced, "I went to a classmate's house to have a wedding, why did you go to his inner courtyard for a nap while you were drunk? What exactly do you want?
In my opinion, after Liao Wenbai went to the study room alone that night, you also sneaked into the study room, killed him, stole the auspicious clothes from Liao Wenbai's body, followed Tang Wanxin out, and when you saw her alone, you pretended to be Liao Wenbai in the dark look like.

Later, you used Tang Wanxin to sneak out to meet other people's guilt, and did something wrong with her. Halfway through, Tang Wanxin realized that you were not Liao Wenbai, so you strangled her too! "

Hearing Yuan Mu mention Liao Wenbai's study, Xu Zishi's face turned pale again, but after listening to the following words, he shouted loudly: "My lord, the student is wronged! Although the student said nothing that night, he didn't Do anything wrong!"
