During the past two days, Shen Yi had been lying in the jail. The people from the county government knew that he would definitely be beaten to death if he was beaten to death. Magistrate Feng was also worried that he would be held responsible for beating him to death, so he did not interrogate him again.
In the past two days, Shen Yi has been thinking about ways to exonerate himself.
He inherited all the memories of another Shen Yi, or in other words, he and the other Shen Yi became the same person, so he naturally knew his current situation clearly.
Fan Dongcheng and four other people are all second generation in Jiangdu city. Among them, Fan Dongcheng has the best family background. His fifth uncle is the minister of the Ministry of Justice in the capital. In addition, the Fan family has frequently produced talents in recent generations, so it has great influence in Jiangdu.
Although this person was the main culprit who killed Chen Qing and framed Shen Yi, Shen Yi wanted to save himself and get out of prison, so he couldn't fight with them and could only compromise temporarily.
As long as Fan Dongcheng is removed from this matter, the resistance to Shen Yi's escape will suddenly be reduced. If Lu Anshi is putting some pressure on the Yamen, then Shen Yi may be able to escape.
Hearing these words, Lu Anshi, who was sitting in front of Shen Yi, couldn't help but frown. He looked at the young man in front of him who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and said slowly: "I'll give you a test."
"Shu De Wu Zi."
Shen Yi answered helplessly: "Eliminate evil."
He looked at Lu Anshi, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Chief, the students also understand that they should not indulge in evil, but in the current situation, they have to protect themselves, and the elimination of evil can only be left to the future."
"Things can be based on scriptures or authority."
Shen Qilang looked at Lu Anshi and handed over his hand again: "The mountain chief should understand this truth better than the students."
"It's really rare."
Lu Anshi reached out and patted his palms gently, and couldn't help but admire: "At your age, you can see things so clearly, even more clearly than I, an old man who has lived for most of his life."
Lu Anshi stood up from the chair, walked towards the cell door, and said softly: "Tell me, what should be done specifically?"
"If it can be done, I will try my best to do it for you."
This was what Shen Yi was waiting for.
He took a deep breath to calm down, and then whispered: "When the county government interrogates next, the student can change his confession and tell the county magistrate that the person who beat Chen Qing was indeed just one person, but that person was not a student. ."
Master Lu frowned: "Who should that be?"
"Qiantong!"
Qian Tong is one of the four members of Fan Dongcheng's gang and the one with the lowest status in the gang.
Fan Dongcheng and other four people, besides Fan Dongcheng, the other three are Ma Jun, Luo Maocai, and Qian Tong.
Among them, Ma Jun is the son of a businessman, and his father is one of the richest people in Jiangdu. He even had connections with Ganquan Academy and sent Ma Jun, the son of a businessman, to Ganquan Academy. It can be said that he has strong financial resources. At the same time, Ma Jun Jun is also the financial sponsor of the four of them's daily activities. Most of the expenses are taken care of by this rich second generation.
Luo Maocai was also from a noble family. One of his cousins was the prefect of a certain prefecture in the southeast. His family was considered to be in the upper middle class among the Jiangdu nobles and was quite powerful.
Qian Tong was the only one whose family background was relatively low. He had an uncle who was a county magistrate in a middle county in the west. Although his family was considered well-off, it was not from a powerful family.
Therefore, Qian Tong has the lowest status among the four people. He plays the role of a younger brother. He is the one who does the dirty work on weekdays.
Because of this, when he beat Chen Qing that day, it was Qian Tong who worked the hardest, and he was the one who hit almost all the heavy blows.
Lu Anshi was devoted to his studies. As for Fan Dongcheng and the other four, he roughly knew about Fan Dongcheng's family background. He knew very little about the other three people and looked at Shen Yi with some doubts.
Shen Yi was full now and was gradually gaining strength. He stood at the door of the prison and roughly explained to Lu Anshi the family circumstances of the four people. Then he whispered: "Chief, among these four people, only the one with money If Tong is alone and weak, push him out to admit this crime, and the other three families will not say anything. As for the Fan family..."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and whispered: "Shilang Fan has just turned fifty this year. Although he has only been promoted to Shilang for a few years, there is still the possibility of climbing up the officialdom. The Fan family cannot do whatever they want by relying on his power. We must also take into consideration the official reputation of Minister Fan."
Fan Dongcheng is a typical playboy, so he often shows off that he has an uncle who is a minister, and he mentions it every now and then in the academy. Therefore, even Shen Yi has some basic understanding of the uncle Fan.
He paused and continued.
"If this matter can be reduced to a minor issue, the Fan family will not disagree."
Master Lu frowned again.
"They teamed up to frame you because your Shen family is weak and weak. If we drag him out to talk back because of the Qian family's weak position, what's the difference between us and those of the Fan family?"
"Of course there is a difference."
Shen Yi lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Chief, Qian Tong is indeed one of the murderers. Chen Qing's death is inseparable from him, and the students were framed and falsely accused out of thin air!"
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and whispered: "Besides, this is just a temporary measure."
"In the future, the other three murderers will definitely not be able to escape heaven's punishment!"
Shen Yi said this with gritted teeth.
Lu Anshi seemed to hear something. He looked at Shen Yi, was silent for a while, and sighed: "Forget it, kid, I will try my best to mediate this matter for you. If you can get away with it, study hard in the academy and pass the exam in the future. Fame can benefit one party, don’t ask for it..."
"Stop making trouble out of nothing."
Shen Yi meant that after he was acquitted in the future, he would not let Fan Dongcheng and the other three go, but Lu Anshi told him to stop this idea.
If nothing else, a Minister Fan is an unattainable mountain.
The imperial court conducted scientific examinations once every three years, but only two hundred and less than three hundred Jinshi could be admitted in one scientific examination.
And among a hundred Jinshi, not one may be able to achieve the position of Minister.
The title of Liubu Minister may not sound that conspicuous in a place like the capital, but in a place like Jiangdu, he is a giant with boundless size.
The prefect of Jiangdu Prefecture is the sky of Jiangdu Prefecture, so this Shilang Fan is the sky that covers the sky. His level of heaven is not very far from the emperor in the ninth heaven.
From an ordinary person's point of view, what Lu Anshi said is certainly true. If an ordinary person can settle down and live in peace, there is certainly no reason to go against a minister or his family, but Shen Yi is different.
He is no longer the young man he used to be.
For him, in this era, everything is possible.
But at the moment, of course, we can't say the kind of second grade speech about thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. If you say it, it will only make people laugh. Shen Qilang lowered his head to Lu Anshi and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shan, the students understand."
"Well."
Lu Anshi lowered his eyebrows slightly and said: "Since it is a case that happened in the academy, I will contact the Fan family in the next two days to properly handle the matter."
Shen Yi in the cell smiled slightly and said: "Chief, from the students' point of view, since you have come to this prison today, there is no need for you to contact the Fan family. The Fan family will take the initiative to contact you, Commander."
Lu Anshi narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, there was a burst of footsteps outside.
Soon, a somewhat skinny middle-aged man trotted up to Lu Anshi.
It was Master Deng, the master of Jiangdu County Government.
Master Deng came all the way to Lu Anshi, bowed his head respectfully to Lu Anshi, raised his hands and saluted, "Master Lu, I have finally found you."
Lu Anshi had stood up now. He turned back to look at Master Deng and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Master Deng's face was full of smiles and he said with a smile: "Master, Prefect Chen asked me to invite you to Wanghu Tower for tea."
