Chapter 335 Fang Yu’s Injustice
Chapter 335 Fang Yu’s Injustice
It's over, completely over!
Looking at Zhao Mingde and his gang who were fully drunk, Senior Fang and Senior Yu's faces turned pale.
The two knew that the situation was irreversible, so they dared not mention that the wine in the jar was poisonous.
The two of them looked at each other, whispered something to each other, and wanted to leave to deal with the whole matter.
It’s a pity that Tian Lin wouldn’t let them go and insisted that they explain themselves clearly.
Others also pestered Tian Lin, asking him to give an explanation.
If it were any other time, Senior Fang and Senior Yu would have attacked Tian Lin long ago. But today was different, they still had things to do, so they would rather put aside their pride and temper to settle the matter peacefully.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed Junior Tian. Don't be angry, brothers. I will have a drink after the Chunhua Banquet to apologize to you brothers."
Senior Fang’s face flushed and he bowed repeatedly to everyone in the circle.
His sudden behavior surprised several students present. They didn't understand why Fang had changed his personality today and what was going on.
But no matter what, Senior Fang's attitude was so sincere that it was hard to pursue the matter further.
"Okay, for Brother Fang's sake, I'll let you go this time."
Only then did the few people release Tian Lin, and Fang and Yu also got the chance to leave.
One of them went to take the wine jar in front of Zhao Mingde and others, while the other went to find the maid.
The purpose of taking the wine jar was to eliminate the evidence, and the purpose of looking for the maid who carried the wine jar was to ask her who asked her to exchange the wine jar given to the little mute with Zhao Mingde.
Tian Lin ignored Senior Yu and followed Senior Fang out of the house after he took the maid out of the house.
Senior Fang was taking the maid to a secluded place, and Tian Lin's infinite finger pointed at Senior Fang and the maid one after another.
Senior Fang is in the late stage of foundation building, and the Infinite Finger cannot hurt him at all.
Although he was a little embarrassed because of the sneak attack, he finally managed to avoid Tian Lin's sneak attack.
But the maid was not so lucky. Before she could react, the back of her head was pierced by the infinite finger. She only had time to groan before she fell to the ground dead.
"who is it?"
At this point, how could Senior Fang not know that he was being plotted against?
His eyes widened as he looked around, then he flew towards the back of the rockery where Tian Lin had been previously.
But he did not see Tian Lin behind the rockery. Instead, from his high vantage point, he saw that the entire academy was in chaos.
Senior Fang thought to himself that something was wrong and looked towards the main hall. He saw an instructor shouting, "Seal up all the food and guard the yard. No one can escape!"
The instructor's reaction was quite slow, but unfortunately he was also poisoned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't hold on and sat on the ground, unable to command the people in the yard.
As for the sword-bearing soldiers and sword slaves brought by the sons of noble families, they were only concerned with going back to report the news or taking their masters back home. Who cared about the rules of a teaching?
After a short while, both the poisoned and the unpoisoned ran away, leaving only a few people left.
The little mute didn't know that he had escaped. He snorted coldly, picked up the knife on the table, and strode out of the house.
After all, there was still someone from the academy, and I remember the teacher said that he decided to keep him.
But how could that man stop the little mute? He was knocked down by the little mute with a palm, and could only watch the little mute walk away.
Tian Lin, the instigator of the incident, did not leave, but stood there waiting for someone from the county government to come.
Soon, the county magistrate, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, arrived at the county school in person.
He walked up to the bodies of several instructors, touched their necks first, then used his fingers to pick up some blood from the corners of their mouths, and finally walked to the side of the one or two surviving instructors.
The Yuanying strongman clapped his hands twice on each of the Jindan instructors, then gave them some elixirs to take. Finally, he said to the most powerful instructor Wang, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It was poisoned!" As soon as Wang Jiaoshi opened his mouth, he was cursed by the county magistrate: "Nonsense, I don't know it was poisoned? I'm asking, how did you get poisoned, who poisoned you?"
Instructor Wang was scolded, but he did not dare to retort. He could only say, "The wine was poisoned—the wine brewed by Baihua was poisoned."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately ordered the people around him, "Bring out the Hundred Flowers Wine."
The county lieutenant beside him immediately entered the hall, and soon a dozen runners brought out jars of wine and placed them in a row in the courtyard.
"Reporting to the county lord, all the Hundred Flowers Wine has been moved out, but unfortunately the jar of poisoned wine has not been found."
At this time, a servant stood up and said, "I would like to report to the county lord that before you came back, the young master of the Yu family left with a jar of wine."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, another servant stood up and said, "You are talking nonsense. Which eye did you see my young master take the wine and leave?"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The county lord immediately stared at the servant and asked, "Where is your son?"
The man quickly shook his head. He didn't know the whereabouts of Senior Yu either.
The county magistrate was delighted and winked at the county lieutenant.
Immediately, someone arrested the servant and tied him up with ropes.
"Everyone present today will be taken to the county government office."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Jiaoshi's face changed and he said, "Your Excellency, the provincial examination is about to begin."
The county magistrate's face darkened as ink dripped out when he heard this, and he looked at Instructor Wang with murderous eyes:
"You know the provincial examination is coming soon, and you still dare to cause trouble at this time? No matter what, we must investigate the case thoroughly before the provincial examination."
If something happened in a county school, it would not be a big deal for the entire Great Qi Dynasty, but for a county magistrate, it was a fatal event.
Especially when most of the talented students in a county school got into trouble and so many aristocratic families were involved.
If he doesn't get to the bottom of this matter soon, he might be held accountable in the year-end evaluation.
Under the strong pressure from the county magistrate, everyone present, even the teachers, were taken to the county jail, let alone Tian Lin.
But as the county magistrate said, time cannot be delayed too long.
Tian Lin stayed in the county government office for three days and was soon released.
The jailer was very polite to Tian Lin and said with a smile: "Now that you are out of prison, you are destined to soar to the sky in the future."
These are auspicious words, but not entirely comforting.
Because of a jar of poisoned wine, all the powerful people in the county school were arrested.
In this way, even if Tian Lin no longer has the talent for cultivation, he will still have a chance to compete for the three places in the provincial school.
"Have you investigated the case?"
Tian Lin did not get carried away and asked a question.
The jailer said hurriedly, "We have investigated the matter clearly. The people who did this are two people from the Yu family and the Fang family. The young master of the Yu family has been found, but the young master of the Fang family is missing."
Although the county still had doubts about the investigation results, the county magistrate could not let the case be delayed until after the provincial examination.
Therefore, as the provincial examination approached, the county magistrate hastily closed the case.
Not only did he want to close the case hastily, but he also wanted to make it an ironclad case.
As for whether Yu and Fang were wronged, he had no business doing that.
