Chapter 45: Unquestionable Evidence (3)
As soon as Chi Jingxi’s name was mentioned, no one dared to argue with her about what happened. The silence didn’t last long, however, because not soon after, another person interjected, "Maybe you committed the murder in later the night!"
Wen Yantong sneered and looked at the person like she was looking at an idiot. "Have you gone crazy trying to frame me? There are people watching the Academy in the second half of the night. I am a lame man. How can I come here to kill a rooster in the dark?"
"What if you came with a lantern?" someone else asked.

Wen Yantong didn't bother to answer this time. Instead, the servant, who was incharge of the night watch, answered, "This humble one is always vigilant. If there was a light in the surrounding area, this humble servant would definitely see it."
"Did you hear that?" Wen Yantong looked at the person and asked, "Any other questions?"
She answered everyone's questions one by one. If there were still people who didn’t believe it, they could go to Li Boyuan or Chi Jingxi for verification. In any case, there was no longer a reason to continue insisting that it was she who killed the rooster.
Sun Qui looked at the crowd and said, "Wu-duo was a symbol of diligence among the students of the Academy. Its murder was a malicious and shameful crime. In the following days, there will be two morning roll calls. No one is allowed to leave. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Wen Yantong was surprised. She didn't expect that the Academy would really spend so much time and effort because of a rooster. She was secretly glad that her blunt knife couldn't cut it down.
After Sun Qui gave the order, he left, and the teachers followed one after another. Zhao Yu seemed like he wanted to say something to Wen Yantong, but thinking about the presence of so many people, he left first.
The students dispersed in a hurry, having no interest in watching an anticlimactic ending. When Wen Yantong saw that the person, who had been questioning her before, was leaving, she shouted, "Stop!"
The student didn't want to talk to her, but before he could escape, he saw Mu Yang step forward to hold him down. "Where do you want to go? You were so eloquent just now. Let me see what your teeth look like."
As he said, he was going to tear this person's mouth apart.
Mu Yang and Chi Jingxi have been hanging around each other for a long time, and their tempers were somewhat similar. With just a switch, the goofball Mu Yang’s ruffian side came out.
The man, who was too frightened to move, kept begging for mercy. "Young Master Mu, please spare me! I was just entrusted by someone else..."

Wen Yantong stepped forward and stood across from the man, trying to intimidate him. It was a pity that she was a little short and had no momentum at all.
She said, "I know. It was Wu Yutian, right? He must have been instigating false accusations against me."
That man sold out Wu Yutian in an instant, "Yes, yes. Wu Yutian hated you for a long time. After hearing what happened this morning, he instructed me to falsely accuse you. This was not my intention..."
"You don't have to argue so much with me. I don't want to hear it either." Wen Yantong abruptly interrupted his blabbering. "Go back and tell Wu Yutian that I already know who slaughtered the rooster. Warn him to be careful when walking outside at night."
The man, who had a ‘knife’ on his neck, naturally conceded to whatever she said. He nodded hurriedly, expressing his agreement.
Wen Yantong raised a clenched fist. "Look at what I have in my hand."
The man was confused. Nevertheless, he lowered his head and looked at her fist with one eye closed.

While he was distracted, Wen Yantong raised her other hand and swung it with all her strength. She punched the man on the side of the face and scolded. "Eat a knucklehead sandwich! See if you dare f*cking spread empty rumors again!"
Wen Yantong's punch was actually not that heavy, but it was very loud. It shocked the man into silence.
Even Fu Zixian and Mu Yang were taken aback.
"Humph." Wen Yantong thought to herself: Although she couldn't offend a seventh-rank official Wu Yutian, she could still afford to ‘offend’ this little dirtbag.
The person who received the punch didn't say anything, knowing that he was originally in the wrong. He clutched his hands around the bruise left by Wen Yantong's knucklehead sandwich and ran away quickly.
Fu Zixian walked up to her and sighed. "Fortunately, you were with Teacher Li last night. Otherwise, you might not be able to clear their suspicions towards you."
This was true. It can only be said that the timing of the person who wanted to frame her was unfortunate, and luck was on her side.
Wen Yantong said, "The rooster murderer is still hiding in the Academy. Since Teacher Sun locked down the Academy, no one can escape. It will only be a matter of time before they find the culprit."
Fu Zixian said, "It's a pity that Wu-duo, who was so diligent in reporting the time for us, would end up this way."
Mu Yang heard this and scratched his head. If it was before, Mu Yang would definitely sneer and ridicule him; he always looked down on Fu Zixian, who was so submissive.
But this time, he actually replied, "Ah, yes. This rooster is quite pitiful. Right, Wen Yantong?"
Wen Yantong was also dragged into this conversation. It seemed that he also wanted her to respond to Fu Zixian's words.
Wen Yantong looked at Mu Yang with strange eyes.
Poor rooster? Pssh, no way.
If it weren't for the sensitive situation they were in, she would have made a fire on the spot, put its body in a pot, and drool while watching the chicken boil in the water.
Wen Yantong ignored Mu Yang, turned around, and rushed to the study hall.
When the rooster was killed, Sun Qiu called all the teachers for a meeting, while the students took the opportunity to go to the chicken coop for a look. Thus, the morning class was delayed like this.
Wen Yantong was absent-minded all morning. Thinking back over and over again about the scene she saw near the chicken coop early in the morning, she always felt that something was wrong.

The snow stopped for several days, and the martial arts class in the afternoon resumed as normal. Wen Yantong, who had her splint removed, had no reason to be excused, so she had to attend.
The cold wind in the twelfth lunar month was not ordinary. As long as one stood outside, they would feel their exposed skin hurt as if they were constantly being pricked by frigid needles. It was so cold that Wen Yantong's face flushed red and her scalp felt numb.
