Chapter 252

Ji Chengfeng listened carefully to the girl's story the whole time.

Before, he only knew the general circumstances of her distress, but this time, after hearing the detailed account from the person involved, he couldn't help but find it even more thrilling.

When he heard that she jumped out of the window to avoid the machetes of those thugs and grabbed the chain in a thrilling manner, his face, which had been calm until now, unconsciously tensed.

After she escaped safely and entered the next room, she slowly exhaled the breath she had been holding.

When Ji Chengfeng heard the lady turned her back to shield her, he felt sincere gratitude in his heart.

He was so focused that he didn't hear the last sentence clearly.

Xie Wan Ning waited for a while, and seeing that the person opposite him looked absent-minded, she couldn't help but wave her hand, "Cousin, what are you thinking about?"

Her skin was fair and smooth, and her knuckles were slender and long. Ji Chengfeng glanced at her and suddenly came back to his senses.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Wanwan's experience is really worrying."

Things have changed since then. Xie Wan Ning waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's all in the past."

Then, she brought the topic back to the topic, "The Lin family is behind this, is it for the second young master Lin? What kind of punishment will their family receive?"

Ji Chengfeng shook his head slowly, "Second Master Lin is already over thirty years old, and he has not been concentrating on his studies in recent years. He has no intention of participating in the provincial examination. The Lin family is doing this for the eldest grandson, the eighteen-year-old eldest master of the third generation of the Lin family."

Although the eighteen-year-old scholar was not as stunning as Lin Er at that time, he was undoubtedly God’s compensation to the Lin family who had already lost their talented child, Lin Er.

In order to have a juren in the family, especially one with a high ranking, people would do everything they could.

The top candidate in the case in Anle County was born in the countryside and had no connections. Even if he missed an exam due to a stomachache, his family would not come forward to investigate thoroughly.

For the Lin family, it is really worthwhile to use a little trick to solve a major threat.

Who could have thought that this case would be personally tried by the prefect? ​​No one could have imagined that the Li family, the most inconspicuous family in Bianzhou City, would have a relationship with the new prefect.

Ji Chengfeng said: "No one was killed in this case, and the poison can be cured. The Lin family paid a sum of money to the scholars involved with the consent of the victims."

Xie Wan Ning frowned as she listened. Before she could say anything, the young man opposite her looked over.

As if he knew what she was thinking, he smiled and said, "In addition to this, the eldest grandson of the Lin family and Xu Xiucai will be stripped of all their honors, and the direct and collateral branches of the Lin family will not be able to take the imperial examinations for three generations."

The imperial examination was the only legitimate way for common people to become officials.

The Lin family was unable to take the imperial examinations for three generations. For the Lin family, who wanted to change their status through the imperial examinations, that was almost a death sentence.

In order to change his family status, when the second son of the Lin family came to prominence, he felt that the girl from the Liu family was not worthy of him, so he ruined their marriage and forced them to elope.

My own little Qilin child has wasted more than ten years of his life in vain.

And now, three generations have lost the qualifications to take the imperial examinations.

It's really satisfying.

As her mood improved, Xie Wan Ning did not hesitate to praise him. She smiled and said, "My cousin is impartial and selfless, and he is as good as a god in solving cases. He is worthy of being the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty."

What others might think of as flattery and fawning words, carried strange meanings when spoken by her.

Praise is also praise.

It's just that the praise is too casual.

Not that hard.
