Meng Zhang refused to admit it, but retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I poison you?"
"Then if you hadn't poisoned you, how could you be scared? You have to run out? Also, where is your servant? Don’t you feel guilty for doing something wrong?”
Impatient is Wu Hang, a scholar whose family is rich and who is forced to study. People who are not short of money are very confident in what they say. When Meng Zhang refused to admit it, he even wanted to step forward and beat him.
Fortunately, I was caught by the person next to me.
Meng Zhang's eyes dodge and he continued: "He has something to do at home, so he asked me to take a leave of absence for a few days. He just left this morning. It's just a coincidence!"
If he hadn't shown such If he had a guilty conscience, everyone might still believe his words, but seeing his obviously revealing expression, everyone felt very disappointed.
But Lu Baichuan didn’t want to mess with him and said directly: “Hold him down and take off the shoe on his left foot to see if it is similar to the powder remaining in the bottle.”
"Yes!"
It was the first time for the scholars present to see someone trying to steal someone's shoes while investigating a crime, and they hurriedly covered their noses when they saw this.
Kang Xiucai didn't react at all. He just watched Lu Baichuan and the others investigating the case. He didn't say anything during the whole process, he just watched.
He was sad in his heart, at least for Meng Zhang, he still regarded the other party as a good friend.
Because they were in the same class and almost went to and from school together. Sometimes Meng Zhang had something he didn’t understand, and he explained it himself in order to hope that the two of them would be on the list together, and there would be more in the future. Opportunity to work together.
Moreover, after the exam, Meng Zhang always felt that he performed well and was very happy during this period. On the contrary, because he was delayed by the cheating case, he almost failed to finish writing the answer sheet, let alone Even if I perform well, I am worried that I will fail, and I will always feel depressed.
Apart from a few children, Meng Zhang comforted him the most.
But he never expected that on the day he won the election, Meng Zhang would actually poison them.
His heart was so sad that he could not say a word.
In a trance, the people from Huoyun Division had already extracted the powder from the shoe and compared it with the powder in the bottle. They took it to He Jiuniang and took a look, confirming that it was the same kind of medicinal powder. Now, No matter how much Meng Zhang argued, it was useless.
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
Wu Hang snorted coldly, looking at this man, he really wanted to go up and slap him twice.
It’s okay to harm others, why didn’t he pass the exam?Are you also implicated? Just because he was greedy for the tea from Kang Xiucai?
That tea was given by Mr. and Mrs. Lu. You can smell the tea outside the house. Even if his family was rich, they would not be willing to buy such good tea to drink. Now I have a chance to taste it. , he goes in and says a few words of congratulations and gets a drink. Anyone who doesn't drink it is a fool.
He just drank a cup of tea, is that wrong?
But just because of this, I was poisoned and almost lost my life. Just thinking about it makes my back feel cold.
And the group of children from the Lu family, what a group of children, if they all drank tea and were not discovered in time, how much tragedy would it cause?
When Wu Hang thought of this, his blood surged up, and he rushed forward without hesitation, punching Meng Zhang in the face.
Meng Zhang was still thinking about how to exonerate himself. He didn’t notice the fist swung by Wu Hang for a moment, and because he was caught by the people of Huoyun Division, he had no way to avoid it. He received a punch and his face was distorted.
He tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly he no longer wanted to make excuses for himself, and grinned.
"Hahahaha, yes, I was the one who poisoned you!"
"Why did I fail to pass the exam after working so hard, but Kang Chengzhi, the cheater, still failed? Can he be on the list?"
"He obviously cheated, so why can we get along well in the end? Isn't it just that he got to know you so-called noble people?"
"Originally It must have fallen off, but after you came back, he often went outside to deal with this matter, right?"
"On the surface, he is still worried every day, but in fact, this is a certainty. Do you think I’m stupid again?”
“Others can get into the exam through crooked ways, but I, who have studied hard for more than ten years, can’t see any hope! "
"Why? Tell me why!"
Meng Zhang looked like he was crazy. He bared his teeth and started roaring, spraying spit foam on everyone. .
Everyone stepped back in disgust, fearing that he would affect him.
Kang Xiucai looked at him in disbelief and said sternly: "I didn't cheat!"
"Is it interesting for you to say this now? You know the noble man , I am the popular person next to His Highness King Chen, isn’t it easy to help you? Hahaha, how noble do you think you are? You keep saying that you are not distracted, but you are not hypocritically entertaining guests with the famous tea that others gave you!"
Meng Zhang is now so broken that he can say anything.
Kang Xiucai was shocked and stood aside with a pale face, unable to say anything.
It was Wu Hang who stood up and said: "You are still reasonable with your sour chicken, right? Brother Kang has good tea in his hand and takes it out to entertain guests. It shows that he is generous and polite. Is it possible that he is good? Do you still have to hide things, for fear of being taken advantage of? Do you think everyone is like you, petty and petty!"
"You can't pass the exam because you don't have the ability! We are so small Among the few people in the yard, except for my family, which has a little bit of wealth, none of them come from poor families. Today, not only Brother Kang passed the exam, but Brother Li and Brother Liu also passed the exam. Do you think they are looking for something? A relationship with a distinguished person?"
"Besides, Brother Kang is already better educated than you. You hold up a notebook and ask people for advice all day long. When do people ignore you? This is what you do You are an ungrateful black-hearted person who only blames others for being good when you have no ability! How could I be so unlucky to live with a lunatic like you for so many months! What an unlucky thing!"
Although Wu Hang He is not very knowledgeable, but he has a strong sense of justice and a cheerful personality. Everyone likes to associate with him. The most important thing is that he comes from a good family, but he never puts on airs, making people feel very comfortable when getting along with him.
When Kang Xiucai heard what Meng Zhang said, he had some self-doubts about whether he had done something wrong, but when he heard what Wu Hang said, he instantly felt better.
Yes, he brought out the famous tea to entertain the guests. He just thought that today was his big day and wanted to share his joy with everyone. This was his intention. How did it come to Meng Zhang’s mouth? , does it become hypocrisy?
"You! You must have seen Kang Chengzhi climb up to a noble person, so you are going to speak for him regardless of it now! Why, you think you can also climb up to the noble person he can climb up to? Come on? Stop dreaming! You...ah!"
