087 Expulsion from the Academy (1 more)
In the college, the dean and several masters looked at Song Si with regret.
The college has been established for so many years, and there are many talented students, but very few talented people like Song Si. They are all ready to win the championship in this scientific expedition, but they did not expect that Song Si actually did theft.
Song Si stood in front of them, his body was as tall as pine and cypress, but if you look closely, you will see his body trembling, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly into fists, "Why did Brother Zhang frame me?"
In order to save money, after he returned to the college during the last holiday, he copied books for some wealthy students, and Zhang Huai was one of them.
Yesterday after school, Zhang Huai invited him to his home and said that there was a large number of books to copy. If he could copy them all in one night, he would give him a tael of silver.
Zhang Huai has always had a good relationship with him and is very popular in the academy.
Song Si didn't think much about it and let him go. He didn't close his eyes all night. After copying the books, he came back early in the morning with a tael of silver he got.
Zhang Huai came later than before, and when he came, he asked him angrily why he wanted to steal something?
Song Si felt that he was unreasonable, and the onlookers also felt that it was impossible. They could see how Song Si’s character is obvious to all, how could he do something like stealing?
"Do you dare to ask someone to search?"
Zhang Huai was full of anger, "I have always regarded you as my best friend, but I didn't expect you to steal my jade pendant."
"If you don't dare to search for anything, just search."
Song Si moved away from his body, Zhang Huai searched himself, but there was nothing in the desk, and he took the people to the dormitory again. There was nothing on the bed until he opened Song Si's wardrobe and took out his clothes. A jade pendant fell out of it, and with a bang, a small crack fell out.
Zhang Huai's face turned ferocious. He bent down and picked it up, held it tightly in his hand, and roared at Song Si, "You still said no, what is this? What is this!"
The onlookers exclaimed and their eyes looked at Song Si were filled with contempt. As a scholar, they must behave properly first, and stealing is the most shameless.
The dean and several masters came to hear the sound and took the two to the dean's office.
Zhang Huai caressed the jade pendant with cherishing, and his eyes turned red. "If it were an ordinary jade pendant, you would take it. I wouldn't make a sound, but this is the jade pendant passed down from my family, which is of great significance."
"Song Si, what else do you have to say?"
The dean asked with regret.
The more he favored Song Si in the past, he was disappointed now. No matter how good he reads books, what if he is? He is not good at character, he cannot become a pillar of the country.
"I didn't take it!"
The dean slapped the table, "You are still quibbling. Why did the jade pendant fall out of your clothes?"
The students in the academy all have their own wardrobe, and the keys are all on themselves, so others can't open them at all.
Several masters also regretted it, "Song Si, Song Si, I'm going to take the imperial examination in more than a month. Why do you think you..."
"What are you saying? What qualifications are such people with misconduct qualified to take the scientific examination?"
Too.
Several masters sighed and shook their heads.
The dean said coldly, "You have been fired, go back and pack up your things and get out of the academy!"
"I won't leave! I didn't steal the jade pendant, why should I fire me?"
The dean was so angry that he slapped the table again, "You haven't admitted it yet? Song Si, Song Si, you have completely lost the face of scholars!"
...
When Song Lin and his friends arrived at the entrance of the college, they saw Song Si standing there with his body straight, with books and luggage thrown out at his feet.
"Big Brother."
Song Shen jumped out of the carriage, his eyes red.
Song Si turned around slowly, and saw Song Lin and Song Wanyue also get off the carriage, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"
The boy's face was calm and his back was straighter than before.
"Si'er."
Song Lin dragged his legs and walked forward quickly, trying to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Song Shen wiped his tears, "How come it's okay? The student who sent us a letter said that if something happens like this, you will not only be kicked out of the academy, but also be disqualified from the scientific examination."
People all know that Song Si is talented, but only Song Shen knows how hard he works behind his back. He is about to take the scientific exam in one month, but he is framed.
"What are you afraid of? This world has its own justice."
"Justice is in the hearts of the people, but if the hearts of the people are wrong, there will be no justice." Song Wanyue slowly walked to him and stood firm, "It is better to believe in yourself instead of believing in justice."
Song Si's lips moved. He had been very quiet since the accident. He told himself that when the truth was revealed, all this would dissipate. He was still the pride of heaven.
But Song Wanyue's words clearly told him that he was too naive. If there was really justice in this world, Zhang Huai was standing here now, not him.
"Second brother, help me move the things to the carriage."
Song Shen squatted down and packed up books and luggage all over the floor.
"Dad, let's go see the dean."
...
The dean was also very angry.
After a few years of joining the academy, he was biased for several years. It can be said that Song Si was the one he had high hopes for. However, he did not expect that he would actually do something about stealing.
"Dean."
Song Lin and Song Wanyue saluted him.
It's okay for Song Lin, after all, he is an adult. Song Wanyue is just an eight or nine-year-old girl. How could the Song family let him follow him? It seems that the Song family has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Forget it, what else can he expect from a few rural people to do.
"Song Si's affairs have been confirmed, and it's useless for you to plead with him."
"The dean also thinks that my elder brother will do something about stealing."
After hearing Song Wanyue's words, he asked the point, and the dean couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Song Si has been in the academy for many years, so he naturally knows what kind of character he has done. If someone else has done something to steal, he believes it, but Song Si does not.
but……
The jade pendant was indeed found in his wardrobe. Even if he wanted to cover up, he couldn't do it. "I don't think it's important. What's important is that the jade pendant was found in his wardrobe."
"Si'er would never do such a thing, please..."
"Please help me..."
Song Wanyue interrupted Song Lin's anxious words, "Don't report this matter to the county government first. Give us half a month, and we will definitely find out the truth within half a month."
The dean naturally didn't believe that they could find out the truth, but he did not want to report this matter to the yamen and cancel Song Si's idea of "Si Ke Ju".
He was going to investigate privately. He asked someone to drive Song Si out of the academy today, but he didn't want him to face other students' fingers, which ruined his confidence.
"You shouldn't spend this effort. Go back and comfort Song Si. Even if..., even if you miss the imperial examination this year, there will be a chance in the future, so that he will never give up on himself."
