Chapter 172 There Are Really Five Hundred Wens in the Bamboo Basket (3 more)
Where did Li Zhicheng expect such an event to happen!Noticing the trust in Chu Hong's envious eyes, and being questioned like this, he immediately felt ashamed.

But at this time, he is already on the verge of riding a tiger, and he must not change his mind temporarily.

"I said it. I lost five hundred coins. During the lunch break, Chu Hong was the only one in the classroom, and he didn't let us check his bamboo basket. He is obviously guilty." Li Zhicheng said with a strong voice.

"It's okay to check." Chu Chu said with a smile, then raised her brows slightly, her smiling eyes revealed a sharp aura, "However, if it proves that Chu Hong is not a thief, what should you do?"

Li Zhicheng was a little afraid of such a powerful momentum, and a little at a loss, "No... no, no, what else?"

Chu Chu suddenly laughed, "According to what you mean, you can check other people's belongings at will if you open your mouth to doubt anyone at will, and it's still so natural, I'm surprised, what right do you have to do this?"

Li Zhicheng was taken aback by what was being said, and at this moment he didn't know what to say to refute her.

"Still, you've always been a thick-skinned person. You think you're superior, so you're the classmate. Whatever you say is what you say, and everyone must listen to you! If you have any doubts, you can immediately ask for proof. Those who are suspected can only follow your advice. Do what you say?"

Chu Chu asked lightly.

Li Zhicheng's face flushed immediately, "Then what do you think?"

"If it turns out that Chu Hong didn't steal your copper coins, you have to apologize to Chu Hong in front of the entire academy and prove his innocence. Is this not embarrassing you?"

Chu Chu said.

Li Zhicheng didn't even think about it, and responded directly.

"Master and all the classmates testify, what if Chu Hong really stole my copper coins?" Li Zhicheng was not stupid, and asked back immediately.

"Then send the officials to justice! Stealing is a felony, so you can do whatever you want, and I will never interfere." The clear and clear voice was particularly obvious in the classroom.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at her in surprise. It was because of how much trust they had in Chu Hong that they could say such a thing!
Everyone couldn't help but envy Chu Hong again, envied him for having such a good sister, who not only brought her so many good things, but also believed in him so much when encountering such a thing, from the beginning to now, she didn't even ask Ask, dare to make an agreement with Li Zhicheng like this.

Chu Hong was also moved for a while, even his eyes were moist, and the anger when he was slandered just now disappeared completely.

The students dispersed automatically, and surrounded Chu Hong and Li Zhicheng. To show fairness, the master came to check.

Open the bamboo basket, the things inside are very ordinary, a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", pen, ink, paper and inkstone, about ten pieces of rice paper, the master took out the same thing and put them on the desk.

Li Zhicheng kept his eyes on the bamboo basket, and he was extremely disappointed every time he saw one. When the master's hand reached in again, he was full of hope again, hoping that he could see the copper coins that belonged to him in the next moment.

The classroom was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Hong's bamboo basket. Those who were far away had already tiptoed and stretched their necks, trying to see the situation ahead clearly.

Chu Chu is very calm, she knows Chu Hong too well, he would never do such things as stealing.

Although her eyes were also on the things she had taken out of the bamboo basket, what she was thinking about was whether this precocious younger brother of her family needed anything else, and she was too embarrassed to tell her family, so she just made do with it.

If she sees it, she has to add it immediately. How can there be less school supplies for studying?

"Yes!" Suddenly Li Zhicheng shouted, pulling back Chuchu's mind.

I saw a dark blue purse with small white floral flowers in the master's hand, which was heavy. The master pulled off the thin belt and poured out the copper coins inside. There were five strings.

"Chu Hong, what else do you have to say now? Now it's stolen! It's you who stole my [-] Wen!" Li Zhicheng said proudly.

Everyone looked over in surprise, with different eyes, some mocking, some contemptuous, some indifferent, some suspicious, of course, some didn't believe it, but there were only a few of them.

Chu Hong straightened his body, "These are mine, not yours. I didn't take your copper coins."

This is still the case, but in the face of conclusive evidence, it seems so pale and powerless.

"Are you still stubborn and refuse to admit it? I originally thought that we would be classmates, as long as you apologize to me and promise that you will never do it again in the future, I will forgive you. Now it seems that there is no need for it! You go to the yamen and say it!"

Li Zhicheng said angrily.

"Wait!" Chu Chu stepped forward and stopped Li Zhicheng from taking Chu Hong away.

"You said just now, but as long as I prove that he stole my copper coins, you won't interfere in this matter!" Li Zhicheng looked at Chuchu vigilantly.

"I don't believe my brother will steal your copper coins." Chu Chu said solemnly, and then she looked at Chu Hong, "Where did you get these copper coins?"

Chu Hong frowned, thought for a moment, then looked at Chu Chu's serious expression, and said in a low voice, "I made money by copying books."

Chu Chu frowned slightly, but didn't understand, "Speak clearly."

"The shopkeeper of Ye Fangzhai saw that my handwriting was neat, so he allowed me to copy some books for the bookstore in exchange for some money." Chu Hong took out the Analects of Confucius just now, "This is not from the academy, I copied it Yes, it was supposed to be sent to Ye Fangzhai today."

After hearing this, the master immediately picked up the "Analects of Confucius" and opened it again. It was indeed Chu Hong's handwriting, and the ink was still very new.

Chu Chu was shocked by the neat lower case letters. Her younger brother is so good that he can write so beautifully that the entire page is about the size of the handwriting!Immediately, she looked at Chu Hong with sparkling eyes.

Thinking about the storybook she wrote, Chu Chu immediately burst into tears, no wonder Ye Yixiao said that he had never heard of it, and had never seen it before.

Everyone is familiar with Chu Hong's handwriting. Looking at it, it was immediately confirmed that it was indeed copied by him.

"However, even if this is the case, it does not prove that these copper coins belong to you. They are just copying books. How could you earn so much copper coins?" Li Zhicheng asked rhetorically.

"I also copied books for Ye Fangzhai, and I had to copy nearly eight books for [-] articles!" A student from a poor family also stood up.

Hearing this, Li Zhicheng strengthened his judgment, and looked at Chu Hong mockingly, "You heard it all, and you still don't admit it?"

Chu Hong frowned even tighter, but this time he did not continue to defend himself.

"Report to the officer! I don't want to study with a thief!" Li Zhicheng said with disgust.

"That's right! Report to the official! Report to the official!" The three people around Li Zhicheng booed together.

"Don't report to the official! Don't report to the official! Here is the [-] Wen I gave him!" Zhu Fugui squeezed in and said loudly.

"Why did you give him money? You are in the same room. I know you have a good relationship. You didn't say that on purpose to help Chu Hong escape the crime, right?" Li Zhicheng said, staring at Zhu Fugui.

"Of course not, it's because... because..." Zhu Fugui's brow was covered with sweat.

"Why? You said it? Can't think of the reason? You know lying at a young age. Are you worthy of the sage books you read? Are you worthy of the master's teachings?"

Li Zhicheng reprimanded him righteously.

"I'm not lying, it's because the homework left by the master is too difficult, I don't know how to do it, so I asked Chu Hong to help, this is for his hard work!" Zhu Fugui refuted loudly angrily.

Everyone: Treacherous!

Master: Dead wood cannot be carved!
Chu Chu: Talent!It turns out ghostwriting has existed since ancient times!

Li Zhicheng: Why didn't I think that there is such a way to cope with schoolwork?

There was an eerie silence in the classroom.

"I promised Classmate Zhu not to tell anyone." Chu Hong explained this to Chu Chu.

Chu Chu looked at the sky speechlessly, should I praise you for keeping your promise?
Also, shouldn't I apologize to my wife at this time?Don't you see that Master's face is already ashes?

"Master, you must trust Chu Hong. He really didn't take Li Zhicheng's copper coins." Zhu Fugui was about to cry in fright, but he still stood up to testify for Chu Hong.

Master Yun was about to speak, but Chu Chu was one step ahead of him, "Student Li, now that the situation is clear, when are you going to apologize?"

Li Zhicheng remained silent with a sullen face.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to Ye Fangzhai and ask the shopkeeper. Every time I copy books, he has a record." Chu Hong said suddenly, "During lunch break, I was also copying books in the classroom, and there was no one else in the classroom. Perhaps, your money was lost elsewhere."

"My lord, my lord, I'm so young that I found your purse." A gray-clothed book boy ran in all the way, shouting happily, he finally made a meritorious service, I don't know if the lord will reward him with something good.

Li Zhicheng's face was extremely ugly, he took the purse, checked the copper coins inside, and gave the book boy a hard look: "You are the only one who has trouble!"

The book boy looked confused, did the young master mean that he should take this purse as his own?
