Thinking of the little girl who looked a little like Wan'er, Mr. Xu's heart became warmer little by little, "Please invite her in."

Xu Liang quickly went to the door and invited Song Wanyue and Gu Yi in.

"Old sir."

The two saluted.

"Sit down."

Before the two of them could sit down, Song Si asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Song Wanyue replied with a smile, "We want to ask the old man to do a favor."

Mr. Xu stared at her without blinking. The little girl's smile was exactly the same as Wan'er when she was a child.

Seeing that Mr. Xu was staring at him, Song Wanyue touched her face in confusion, then turned her head and asked Gu Yi with her eyes, if there was something on her face? Seeing that Gu Yi shook his head slightly, he turned his head again, "Mr., I know it's not good for us to come to disturb you, but I can only ask you for help in this matter."

Mr. Xu still reluctantly withdrew his gaze, "What's the matter, you said."

“That’s it…”

Song Wanyue told the story of the yamen coming to the door.

When she heard that the yamen came to the door and said it was Song Si's fighter, Mr. Xu was even more sure that someone was targeting Song Si, otherwise he would not have been so blatant that the yamen members would have slandered him so blatantly.

"You tell me what happened at that time carefully."

Song Si was also shocked. At that time, he was only caring about holding Xiao Yao and walked out of the market. He didn't notice that the man was dead. He heard the old man say this and immediately said the whole story without any exaggeration or concealment.

Mr. Xu confirmed his guess more and more and asked in a deep voice, "Who have you offended after you come to the capital?"

Song Si shook his head, "After the student came, except for leaving the inn on the day of visiting you, he stayed in the inn the rest of the time and did not have any conflicts with anyone."

"We had offended people when we were in Qingping County. Could it be..."

Song Wanyue couldn't just say that she was pretending to be a student, so she could only remind Song Si in a tactful way.

"Who did you offend?"

Although he felt it was impossible, Song Si still told him about the fact that Zhang's family framed him. After hearing this, Mr. Xu stroked his beard and pondered.

"Old sir, can I say a few words to you alone?"

Song Wanyuedao.

"sure."

Mr. Xu called Xu Liang in and asked him to take Song Si and Gu Yi to the flower hall to sit.

"Little girl, just say anything."

Song Wanyue said that Zhang Huai, who saw Yi Rong outside the exam room that day, analyzed, "I suspect that the people behind him are powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for him to replace a certain student. Today's theft was also premeditated, and asking my elder brother to go to the yamen to ask questions must have had bad intentions. I would also ask the old man to help us."

"Is there such a thing?"

Mr. Xu was very shocked. He had never heard of anyone pretending to be another student.

"Can you be sure that that person is Zhang Huai?"

"I'm sure, because I have become a master and learn medical skills from him, and you can see the disguise on his face at a glance."

Mr. Xu couldn't help but get up and walked back and forth a few times. He was the leader of the literati, so naturally he could not tolerate such a thing happening, but now he didn't know who the person behind Zhang Huai was. Even if he wanted to pull the person out, he couldn't.

"I'll go to the yamen with you."

...

Several people arrived at the yamen in a carriage. After getting off the carriage, they wanted to go in. They were stopped by the yamen, "This is the yamen, not the vegetable market. Whoever wants to enter, Song Si went in alone, and the rest stayed outside."

"This is Mr. Xu."

"No old man can do it either. I said I can't enter if I can't..."

Before the yamen was finished speaking, a yamen runner hurriedly walked out of the inside, pulled him behind him, nodded and bowed to Mr. Xu, "Mr., he just came here. I don't know you. Please don't be surprised. I just don't know that you and Song Si are..."

“He is my student.”

The yamen immediately did not dare to stop him, so he took the person in carefully.

The prefect of Shuntian hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair over to ask him to sit down, "Old sir, you don't need to go this trip. We just called people to ask for questions on a routine basis, and there was no other meaning."

"Song Si happened to be in my house. When I heard that his little fight had happened, I was shocked. Come and see. Lord Gong must not talk about me because of me. You can try it as you should."

The prefect of Shuntian complained in his heart: You have come to stare at me in person, how dare I interrogate at will? I accidentally asked the wrong question. You went to the emperor and said, "Can I still wear my prefect of Shuntian?"

But there was a smile on his face, "Don't worry, sir, I will do it impartially and there will be no slightest selfishness."

After saying that, he picked up the gavel and was about to take a picture. Thinking that Mr. Xu was there, he gently put down, "Song Si, what do you have to say about your little fight?"

"Sir..."

Song Si bowed. He is now a juren and doesn’t have to kneel down. “At that time, those evil people wanted my life, and my servant had to go back.”

"So, do you admit he killed someone?"

Song Si hurried out to the west market with Xiao Yao in his arms, not knowing that the man was not dead normally, but poisoned. The prefect of Shuntian asked this, obviously digging a hole for him.

Mr. Xu frowned, but did not speak, and looked at Song Si.

"The scene was chaotic at the time, and I didn't see it with my own eyes."

The prefect of Shuntian said earnestly, "Song Si, you have just finished the exam. You must think carefully about yourself. Don't delay your bright future because of a small matter."

"I think it's not him who delayed his bright future, but you, Lord Gong."

The voice of Duke Ding came from the door. The prefect was shocked and hurriedly came out from behind the table and bowed, "I have met Duke."

"You are welcome, Lord Gong."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Song Si. The young man in his fifteens and sixteens was as slender as a bamboo, handsome and upright, with a graceful face, and a bookish look. Although he bowed his head, his back was very straight.

Duke Ding was very satisfied and was about to withdraw his gaze, but Song Si looked up in surprise and looked at him with eyes facing each other. Song Si took a step back and bent his waist, neither humble nor arrogant. "Students have seen Duke."

Duke Ding became more and more satisfied.

"You are Song Si?"

“Student is.”

"Do you know who saved you today?"

Song Si's heart jumped suddenly, "Study, students..."

"It's my granddaughter Xiao Yao."

The prefect of Shuntian was startled. The yamen brought the person back and naturally investigated the matter clearly. He knew that someone was assassinating Song Si, and he also knew that it was a lady who saved him.

Because the prefect of Shuntian was sure that no one dared to come out to admit this matter, after all, it was related to the girl's reputation, so he dared to let the yamen bring Song Si over so proudly, but he didn't expect that he was the granddaughter of Duke Ding.
