Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 52: Heart like a tiger, sniffing the roses

After Chen Ce returned to the courtyard again, he personally wrote and drew the complete farming rack and gave it to the Zhang brothers.

A person should be trustworthy.

A farming rack saved his life and eliminated future troubles. Although he did not gain any financial benefits, Chen Ce still felt that it was worth it.

Even if it is not improved now, it will still be improved by someone in ten or twenty years.

When the Zhang brothers received the complete farming frame, their faces turned red with excitement... Although their faces were already red from being beaten, it didn't matter!
The pain from being beaten just now was now completely suppressed by the excitement, and he was about to leave.

Chen Ce stopped the two Zhang brothers and said, "My Lords, this corpse... is really creepy. Can you help me get rid of it?"

You still have the nerve to say that? I didn't think you looked creepy when you killed him.

Zhang Heling could still help with this small matter. Just now, when Zhang Yanling went to kill Scar Laoliu, he brought his servants with him. Zhang Heling ordered them to carry Lin Mianzhi's body to the mass grave to feed the dogs.

The son of the Shuntian prefect and a newly-appointed juren of the Ming Dynasty was thrown to feed the dogs so hastily.

Mrs. Wu from next door leaned against the back door, looking at Chen Ce who was concentrating on fishing beside the Tongji Canal, her eyes showing a very complicated expression.

Just now she saw Chen Ce killing someone with her own eyes. He was so cold and calm. Where was the gentle and sickly look he had been yesterday?

What frightened Madam Wu the most was that he had clearly killed the other person with his own hands, but now he could still sit beside the Tongji Canal and fish with a clear conscience. What kind of person and what kind of state of mind could he be able to do all this?
The heart is like a tiger, sniffing the roses.

……

In Sifang Residence, Tang Yin was furious and shouted to his good friend Xu Jing, "Father Heng! Why did you just tell me now that Lin Mianzhi had gone to trouble the teacher?"

Having said that, Tang Yin flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Xu Jing followed closely behind. He didn't want to lose his friend Tang Yin, and even more so, he didn't want to offend Lin Mianzhi.

If Lin Mianzhi could be his current support, then Tang Yin would definitely become his future support. He knew that he was not as good as Tang Yin. No, most of the Ming Dynasty literary world was not as good as Tang Yin.

With Tang Yin's qualifications, he will surely pass the imperial examination next year and enter the Hanlin Academy.

But I am not necessarily sure of passing the imperial examination.

In the future, Tang Yin's achievements will definitely be higher than Lin Mianzhi's, and Tang Yin and himself are from the same hometown. This friendship will help him more in the future.

That's why he didn't tell Chen Ce when Lin Mianzhi went to cause trouble for him, and only told Tang Yin now when he estimated that the matter had been determined.

Xu Jing said with a guilty look on his face: "Bo Hu, I just heard the news from outside. I learned that three people died in front of Chen Ce's house, and that Lin Mianzhi took people to find Chen Ce... I came to tell you the first time I knew the news!"

Tang Yin's eyes widened in horror. He really didn't expect things to get so serious.

Three people died in front of the teacher's house, and Lin Mianzhi went to find the teacher... Tang Yin was unruly, but he was definitely not a fool. A person with top literary talent must have an IQ that could not be bad.

You can say that Tang Yin's emotional intelligence is not outstanding, but his IQ must be high enough.

He would soon know what Lin Mianzhi was going to do - frame the teacher for murder!
Once this is confirmed, won't it be the same as the Mancang case? Who will really uphold justice for the common people? The final result can only be that the teacher is convicted of murder!
Tang Yin's eyes were red, as if he was eating someone, but he felt a sense of powerlessness, his nose felt sour, and he rushed out frantically.

I told you to move quickly...but you insist on showing off, you insist on showing off!

Are you my teacher or am I your teacher? Can't you figure this out? I reminded you but you didn't listen, what should I do now?

Xu Jing quickly caught up with Tang Yin, following him silently all the way until they passed by the Shuntian government office, where he spotted several of Lin Mianzhi's followers heading towards Shuntian government office with anxious looks on their faces.

Xu Jing hurriedly said to Tang Yin: "I'll go and get some information."

When Xu Jing came back, Tang Yin saw a strong shock and disbelief on his face. Tang Yin was impatient and asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Xu Jing felt a little cold all over, and stammered, "Well, well, Lin, Lin Mianzhi, is dead."

boom!
Tang Yin's eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Chen Ce said that he would send Lin Mian to hell with his own hands.

Seriously do what you say.

But don’t you want to live anymore?
He ignored Xu Jing who was still in a daze and ran desperately towards Huaihua Hutong. Finally, he found Chen Ce who was still reading a book in the sun in the front yard of the central hall.

Tang Yin asked anxiously: "You, you, you still have time to read?"

"Lin Mianzhi, dead, dead? His father was the chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture!"

Chen Ce looked up at Tang Yin, put the book down, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Tang Yin, and said, "And then?"

"You didn't kill him?"

Chen Ce was silent for a moment, and did not give a direct answer. He did not want to deceive Tang Yin, so he just said, "Have some tea."

How could I drink anymore?

"What on earth are you thinking?!" Tang Yin was really panicked.

Chen Ce motioned for him to be quiet and asked, "Didn't you say his father was the chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture?"

"Why didn't you take me to jail and let me drink tea quietly here?"

"A group of yamen runners came just now to question us, and they have already left."

A group of yamen runners did come just now, so what? Chen Ce said that it was the two marquises of the Zhang family who killed him, and then he described the situation at that time in a disjointed manner.

But if you want to know the specific situation, you should go to the two uncles of the Zhang family.

Tang Yin was stunned. Xu Jing, who followed and stood beside Tang Yin, felt even colder all over. He stared at Chen Ce blankly, his body trembling slightly.

He thought of a very scary possibility, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't even have the courage to continue reasoning!

Xu Jing felt a little dry in the mouth for a moment.

……

When it was time to light the lamps, the entire Lin residence was covered in sobs and cries.

The most outstanding offspring of the Lin family died, and the hope of the Lin family was gone. Lin Qi stood silently beside the coffin, his face twitching violently, and his eyes were red as he looked at Lin Mianzhi, who was lying in the coffin and was eaten beyond recognition by wild dogs.

He clenched his fists tightly in his wide sleeves, his eyes were bloodshot, but reason suppressed his anger.

The Marquis of Zhang and the two younger brothers of Queen Zhang were the ones who did it!
He sent people to investigate Chen Ce, but the cowardly commoner was so frightened that he was out of his wits and could not even speak clearly.

He just said sporadically that Lin Mianzhi brought people to ask him about the case, and then the Zhang brothers passed by... Immediately, a conflict broke out between the two sides, and then the Zhang brothers killed Lin Mianzhi.

This is Chen Ce's most likely official explanation for the Zhang brothers, and it is also the most reasonable explanation. What he said was vague and there were many ambiguous parts. If he was wrong, he could modify it. Anyway, no one would think that he did it himself.

All the witnesses are dead.

Lin Qi burst into tears and slowly closed his eyes. He knew that he was destined to never get justice in this matter, just like the untouchable who offered a plan to prevent the epidemic after the disaster. He was destined to never get justice.
