Warning: Dead rooster, along with slightly graphic description of its murderChapter 43: Unquestionable Evidence (1)Fu Zixian said, "Do not worry. As long as you explain to the Academy that you were with Teacher Li yesterday, no one will doubt you."Wen Yantong pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't talk when you get there later. Don't get involved or interject."Fu Zixian only thought she had a plan and was going to explain it herself, so he readily agreed.pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-postThe two rushed all the way to the vicinity of the chicken coop. From a distance they saw a large group of people gathered around the chicken coop, surrounding the whole perimeter.Apart from the students, there were also several teachers. Someone with sharp eyes saw Wen Yantong coming and immediately shouted, "The culprit is here!"This announcement drew everyone's attention to Wen Yantong. Everyone looked at her and began to talk in a low voice. Their suspicious gazes were ready to pierce right through her.Wen Yantong smiled and said, "Do not make false accusations, okay? I just came here now. How could I be the culprit?"As she walked closer, everyone automatically retreated, as if they didn't want to be in contact with her in any way. This allowed her to have a smooth path toward the chicken coop, which was previously surrounded by the crowd.It was then that she saw Wu-duo's corpse thrown at the edge of the nest. The roosters two claws were raised up. Its whole body was stained with a lot of blood. After being left like this for the whole night, its body had already frozen hard.The head of the rooster was cut off along with its neck, and it was thrown casually beside the body.The little sh*ts finally gone. Wen Yantong sighed with relief in her heart.From its appearance, it seemed that another person was fed up with this noisy chicken. They had endured and endured before finally killing it to vent their anger over presumably their lack of sleep."Wen Yantong, someone said that they only saw you wandering around here last night, and you dare say you didn't kill it?" Someone stood up and questioned her boldly.Wen Yantong lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, "So Im not allowed to be up at night?""How can the timing be so coincidental?" The person retorted. "You are clearly just making excuses!"Wen Yantong rolled her eyes and ignored him, feeling that arguing with someone completely unfamiliar was a waste of words. She walked to the side of the chickens corpse and crouched down to take a closer look. She discovered that the chicken's eyes were closed.Half of the rooster's body was soaked in blood, which had already coagulated and darkened in color. She looked around the scene, only to see chaotic footprints and morning frost."Hes not talking anymore. He must have a guilty conscience!""It must be him. He wanted to kill this chicken last time. It seems he refused to change and killed it."pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-post"This is the Dean's chicken. How dare he do just a thing..."Not only did this rooster have a name, but it also had a house that could be considered a mansion compared to other regular chicken coops. This was not just because this rooster was brought up by the Dean himself. The most important reason was that this Wu-duo would crow at 6:30 every morning, sometimes so accurately that it crowded at the same time as the morning bell of Chaoge.Because of this, Wu-duo was truly a precious rooster. It represented the diligence of the students, so its status in the Academy was not low. As such, secretly murdering this rooster would not just result in a couple of demerits. This was why Fu Zixian said it was a big deal.It was big enough to expel the rooster murderer out of Songhai Academy or even worse, be sent to jail.The crowd kept talking, throwing one accusation after the other. Their voices became louder and louder, as if they wanted to put pressure on Wen Yantong and force her to confess her guilt.Fu Zixian clenched his fists and wanted to stand up and speak justice for Wen Yantong. However, he remembered that he had promised to not be involved in this matter, so he had to endure and refrain from coming forward.pure tl . com is the original tler / dont re-postWen Yantong seemed to turn a deaf ear to all the noise and inspected the scene carefully instead.Hearing more footsteps approaching, everyone looked over and saw several teachers, including Teacher Zhao, hurriedly walking towards the scene.The incoming teachers were all prestigious educators in the Academy. Teacher Zhao, whose real name was Zhao Yu, was considered to have the smallest influence among them. He was top scorer in the imperial examinations who became a sixth-ranked official and worked in the court for most of his life. Later on, he was invited to teach the future generation in the Academy.As soon as he saw Wen Yantong standing beside Wu-duo's corpse, he immediately stepped forward a few strides, pulled her up from the ground, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?""Teacher, I'm studying how this rooster died," Wen Yantong replied with a serious face.Zhao Yu had her step back two steps. "You stand back first."Among the teachers, there was one named Sun Qiu. He was the former Minister of Rites. After he retired from court, he was appointed by the Emperor to manage the Academy, so he had absolute authority to speak and decide in any matters relating to the Academy. Whenever he took a step closer to the rooster, the students around him automatically backed away.He glanced at the chicken on the ground and asked solemnly, "Who did this?"Someone immediately came forward and shouted, "It's Wen Yantong! He secretly killed the chicken last night!"Wen Yantong immediately retorted, "I didn't kill the rooster! Everyone here is well-educated. You must speak with reason! Why do you make false accusations?"Sun Qiu turned to look at her. His eyes, which showed the wisdom and shrewdness he had honed after many years in court, made her shiver. He had lived through the fights and schemes of the imperial court's intrigue and experienced the officials constantly trying to outwit the other. Thus, just a glance from this sharp, weathered man made one's heart sink, making the person unconsciously feel oppressed."Are you Wen Yantong?" Sun Qiu asked.Wen Yantong bowed. "It is this student.""You are quite famous." Sun Qiu's tone was steady. She couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or ridicule, so Wen Yantong didn't dare to answer casually.The crowd stared at the interesting scene without blinking. No one dared to interrupt this moment.
