"I did give him the glass of wine. But I didn't put the drug in it. He did it himself. This was all planned in advance. Once something happened, he would put the blame on me, so that he would be an innocent person. If everything went well, he could marry the daughter of the Lord Jijiu and climb up the social ladder. Who would have thought that she would rather ruin her reputation than have anything to do with him." Pang Qiping explained and showed that he was innocent. "Why did you help him? Aren't you worried about my cousin? Are you and my cousin really in love?" "No, I was also bewitched. He seduced me, saying that if I became the son-in-law of the chief priest of the Imperial College, I would have a backer for my business in the capital. As for my cousin, he promised to find a way to cancel the engagement without hurting either party, and would give her enough compensation. I saw that he was determined to climb up the social ladder, and I knew that even if my cousin married him, her life would be ruined. It would be better to help him. If he could really climb up the social ladder, it would be a good thing, and the whole family would benefit from it." "In other words, you two were in cahoots!" The book boy insisted that Pang Qizhi was seduced and the mastermind was Pang Qiping. Regardless of which version, Pang Qizhi did drink the wine mixed with drugs at the literary meeting of the chief priest, and took the opportunity to flirt with the chief priest's daughter. But the chief priest was very tough. He did not follow the trend. Instead, he reported to the authorities to arrest people and punish the sinister villain Pang Qizhi. Why was Pang Qiping not imprisoned? Of course, it was because the chief priest killed Pang Qizhi. Pang Qiping did not flirt with his daughter. After collecting confessions from all parties, Boss Meng made a judgment.
He took the confessions to Chen Guanlou and reported his work truthfully. "The pretty boy Pang Qizhi must have wanted to marry into a rich family, and he felt that the marriages in his hometown were not worthy of him. The only thing he could show off was his academic achievement, which was not competitive in the capital. He could not climb up to a rich family, and he could not reach it. So he had to settle for the second best and set his sights on the daughter of the Lord Jijiu. Unfortunately, he did not find out clearly in advance. The Lord Jijiu was famous for hating evil and would never sacrifice his daughter for the so-called reputation." "As for Pang Qiping, he must be an accomplice. It doesn't matter whether he or Pang Qizhi gave the drug. What's important is that the two of them cooperated in this matter. If it were a family that valued rules and reputation, this matter might have succeeded. Unfortunately, they met the Lord Jijiu." "Pang Qiping should not have had a private relationship with his aunt's cousin, and this is the conclusion drawn from multiple verifications. Pang Qiping has been in As an outsider merchant, he rarely meets his aunt and cousin at home, and he doesn't meet his aunt and cousin as often as Pang Qizhi. The affair was obviously fabricated by Pang Qizhi to get away with it. " "Pang Qiping and Pang Qizhi are brothers who are in cahoots with each other. One wants to climb the ladder, and the other wants to expand his network of contacts in the capital, so they hit it off. As for the aunt and cousin who was innocently implicated, the two of them actually didn't care about the reputation and life of this woman. I'm afraid they all wanted the aunt and cousin to commit suicide out of shame and anger." "The medicine was bought by the book boy. Therefore, Pang Qiping's statement that Pang Qizhi drugged himself may be true." "The meaning of the Lord Jijiu is that Pang Qizhi has no moral integrity and a vicious character. Such a person is not worthy of being an official. He should be deprived of his fame and sent back to his ancestral home, and not allowed to set foot in the capital. However, the law does not stipulate this, and the Lord Jijiu is unwilling to spend money to arrange it. How to deal with it specifically The Ministry of Justice has not yet made a final decision on the white-faced Pang Qizhi. " "Some students on the market who are on good terms with Pang Qizhi seem to be colluding to help him. They even want to use public opinion to force the Lord Jijiu to marry his daughter. It's really abominable." "Pang Qiping has spent a lot of money these days to overturn Pang Qizhi's case. Pang Qiping also wants to use money to throw money at Lord Jijiu, trying to persuade him with money." "This case, with the help of someone who is interested, has vague signs of spreading. I'm afraid it will be bad for Lord Jijiu's daughter." After listening to the analysis of the case, Chen Guanlou asked, "Did Pang Qizhi really flirt with Lord Jijiu's daughter?" "Brother, I asked carefully, it shouldn't be counted. However, at that time, a man and a woman were locked in a room, and Pang Qizhi relied on the wine mixed with drugs to try to do something improper. . When the door was opened, many people saw Pang Qizhi pressing on the daughter of the Lord Jijiu. Although her clothes were intact, after all... rumors hurt people. " Chen Guanlou was very curious: "Where is the maid next to the daughter of the Lord Jijiu? How could she leave the young lady alone in the wing room? She was almost succeeded by Pang Qizhi." "This is what we said before. Pang Qiping used money to open the way and secretly bribed the maid in the Lord Jijiu's house. The maid worked together inside and outside to lead the maid away. Pang Qizhi took advantage of the loophole and intended to cook the rice before the rice was cooked. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise this kid would really succeed. " After listening, Chen Guanlou sighed, "I looked at that pretty boy, who was powerless, and thought he was wronged by someone. Unexpectedly, this kid was full of bad water. It was not easy to have sympathy, but unexpectedly met a guy who pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. Today's scholars are amazing, too thoughtful. In the past, I only heard of women marrying into wealthy families by using methods such as drugging and using their reputation as a bargaining chip. I didn't expect that men these days also began to use this trick to marry wealthy women. Tsk tsk, how many people would have to admit defeat with such enterprising spirit. " Boss Meng: ... Is this a mockery, a mockery, or a mockery? He didn't say anything, just laughed along. "Brother Chen, the Ministry of Justice has not yet made a final decision on this matter. How to deal with it depends on your opinion."
"According to my opinion?" Chen Guanlou laughed. Meng Lao Da nodded repeatedly, "Master Jijiu is unwilling to pay for the arrangement, but Pang Qiping is willing to spend money. The Ministry of Justice is dragging its feet and there is no conclusion. At this time, as long as Brother Chen is willing to stand up and speak a fair word, the case can be settled. We can't let those bastards in the Ministry of Justice eat alone." "You mean, take the money from the Pang family and help Pang Qizhi get out of this." "This is just one of the options. Another option is to let Master Jijiu get what he wants and severely suppress these scholars who are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful and not studying seriously." "Is there no third option? What would you do if it were you?" Chen Guanlou asked casually. Meng Lao Da thought, the boss asked me, in fact, he was testing me, I must come up with the best solution. "Brother, I think that we can't let go of the Pang family's money, but we must also keep up with the evil trend of currying favor with the rich and powerful and using crooked ways to calculate the reputation of women. This is our responsibility. How can we allow such villains to be arrogant under the emperor's feet? They have read so much that they have become dogs." "That makes sense. Don't bother two people with the same thing. Why don't you take the money and punish me as well. I believe in you!" With just one sentence, Chen Guanlou added a huge workload to Boss Meng. But Boss Meng was happy with it and said loudly: I guarantee that the task will be completed!
