Chapter 94 Under the Imperial Examination Case
"I will give you another last chance. Do you say it or not? If you don't say it, you will probably be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for detention awaiting trial."
Lu Chengfeng threatens and induces.
"I, I'm a man from the black market. A brother from the Tao introduced me to the Taoist in black and said that the man was called Qilian Zhenren."
"True Qilian? I don't even know his name. Only someone told me that if you want a high school gold list, go to the third floor of Jiuxianju. The innermost elegant seat will be there, and someone will be able to join me later."
"Yes, yes, so is me. I received a letter, which is strange. I don't know who it is, why did I send it to me? It seems that I have ulterior motives, and this is going to harm me."
"It's just that I was confused at the time and actually believed this person's words."
"It's still too greedy that it's because it's because it's because it's not safe in the later years."
...
Everyone talked in a verbal way, rushing to make meritorious service.
The old man with white hair sighed a few heavy sighs. The tears on his face were intertwined, just like the traces of the rain fell.
Qilian Zhenren and Lu Chengfeng have recited the name of this person several times in their hearts.
That day, I happened to meet at Jiuxianju, and the deal between this person and Tang Zhongyong.
At that time, I just thought this person was so treacherous that he looked mysterious and incredible.
I didn't expect that it was a Taoist real person.
There is such a person in the Taoist sect, which really ruins the tranquility of Taoist sect.
"Black market? What you just said is the black market is the Caobang black market?"
What Lu Chengfeng never expected was that after the last Jiang family extermination case, the court was closely supervising all the businesses controlled by the Cao Gang openly and secretly, and the investigation and control were very strict. How dare this Cao Gang commit crimes against the wind?
What is even more strange is that everyone knows that the Cao Gang is backed by the crown prince and former prime minister Tang Yuanzhi.
But now, the big tree of Prime Minister Tang has fallen and the money has scattered, and the mountain of Prince is also about to fall.
Where did the Cao Gang come from the ambition and courage? How dare you do such a bad thing under the emperor's eyes?
Could it be that although the prince lives in secludedly in the palace, he is still closely controlling the information of all parties and secretly commanding?
Or is it that someone wants to frame the prince and completely break up the prince's skeleton?
Lu Chengfeng wanted to tell Master Xu one by one about his doubts, but he was afraid that Master Xu, as one of the main forces of the princeling party, would inevitably be selfish.
Although he personally believes that Mr. Xu is of great character and trustworthy.
However, what was extremely surprised today was that the name of the Prime Minister Tang Zhongyong did not come to take the exam.
In this way, it must have been acquiesced by Master Xu, so he said he wanted to pull the net to catch fish, but he still leaked the news in advance and ran away such a big fat fish that escaped the net.
Mr. Xu seemed to have seen through what Lu Chengfeng thought, but he did not say it out loud, and smiled slightly:
"Your Highness, why not hand over these people to the Ministry of Rites first? What's the reason for this? Let me tell you slowly from now on."
Lu Chengfeng had not come up with any refutation yet and nodded obediently.
"Okay! Come on! These eight cheating candidates will be sent to the Ministry of Etiquette for disposal!"
Master Xu gave an order to go down.
"Yes! Sir! But, today, should I continue taking the exam?"
The leading official asked in confusion, not knowing where to go.
"There is no joke in the examination room. Since the examination has been ordered to be terminated, the examination will end here in the second spring examination in February! After that, another examination will be resumed. All candidates are asked to wait and wait in Jinghua City!"
The old master said seriously.
Lu Chengfeng looked at Master Xu's already trembling back, and now he suddenly felt that his image was as tall as a mountain, with more than tens of millions of hills and valleys hidden in his chest, and his mind was full of wisdom.
This is a chess game that has been set up early. Maybe the person who plays the chess or is still in a higher position.
It turned out that I had already become a chess piece on the road, sitting in the game without knowing it.
Well, as long as it is for my Dajing! I hope that the final result of this case must demonstrate fairness and justice in order to do it!
After the officials and officials dispersed, Master Xu looked at Lu Chengfeng who was standing aside in a daze and thoughtful manner, and smiled lightly:
"Your Highness comes to our house three days ago, and you should be able to guess what happened today."
Yes, I had the intention of letting go of Tang Zhongyong that day, in order to be convenient for others and myself. If this were not the case, I would not take the initiative to come to Master Xu to report to Mr. Xu what I saw and heard of Jiuxian’s residence.
However, today, I still feel that the authorities are confused and unexpected.
Tang Zhongyong did not come to take the exam. It seemed that he was a master's advice and asked him to give up the exam and ensure his safety.
"But what was leaked was just backup test questions, but why did they turn into formal test questions and be used in today's test room?"
Lu Chengfeng still couldn't help but blurted out and asked.
"Since your highness is not satisfied, let's open the skylight and speak out."
Master Xu's back was slightly carried, he turned his face and said solemnly:
"Do you have a dream lover? It's the eldest lady of You Mansion in the south of the city. The master of the You family was implicated because of the lantern of the Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang Lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Now he is still in the prison of Dali Temple. Although you didn't tell me this last time, I have heard about it a long time ago. Your Highness rests at ease. I have reported to Your Majesty and greeted Lord Zhang, the Minister of Dali Temple. I think, for Mr. You, the safest place in the world is the prison of Dali Temple."
Lu Chengfeng had already vaguely heard the hidden cleverness in Master Xu's words. He had to nod his head obediently and wait for his next lecture.
When Mr. Xu saw Lu Chengfeng standing with his hands honestly, he couldn't help laughing, patted his shoulder and said:
"Don't worry! As for Tang Zhongyong, the youngest son of the Tang Mansion, he is also my student. Although I am not the best among the younger generation, I am not as talented as you who can manage the world and save the country. But he is also a capable talent. He is originally
I am pure and honest. If I was just bewitched by others and bewitched by ghosts, I can't bear it. It's not because of the selfishness of teachers and students, but because I don't want my Dajingguo to lose a young talent who truly serves the country from now on. Besides, he is the prince's brother-in-law. Now that the Tang Mansion has fallen, Tang Yuanzhi and Tang Boehn have also received the punishment they deserve. Good and evil are rewarded with each other, and the innocent young generation still has some hope. When will the kindness be rewarded?"
Mr. Xu first stood tall, then moved him with emotion, explained reason, and comforted him with every voice.
"Please rest assured by Grand Secretary Xu. This matter is known by heaven and earth, you and I know. I will never reveal any news to the third person. Thank you very much for Grand Secretary Xu and Master Guardian Zhouquan."
Lu Chengfeng bowed deeply to Master Xu.
Well, Master Xu nodded slightly and continued:
"As for the test paper, I naturally asked someone to change it. I don't know which fool is from the Ministry of Rites? It's wrong to steal the test papers! If I don't steal the formal test papers, I will steal the backup test papers! If I don't use the leaked test papers, how can I tell who are clearly who are humans or ghosts? Hahahahaha..."
Master Xu smiled at the sky and said.
"Does the cheating candidates we caught just now really have to be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for handling? Will there be a lot of danger? My personal suggestion is to deal with the Ministry of Justice."
Lu Chengfeng pondered for a while and suggested.
"The imperial examination is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. Although this cheating case occurs, it is not appropriate to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice. The imperial examination is related to the national system. I will write a letter, and the emperor will decide whether to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites or to the Ministry of Justice? But this..."
Mr. Xu said, and suddenly paused, and smiled meaningfully at the rushing road and Chengfeng.
Ginger is still spicy!
"Sir Xu is trying to make those eight people lively baits and use a long line to catch big fish!"
Lu Chengfeng finally understood it and laughed at him.
"A child can teach you."
Mr. Xu paused and said.
I wonder if the Minister of Rites He Xuzhi knew that the imperial examination questions were leaked in advance. Or was he always addicted to chanting poems and writing counterfeits, and was kept in the dark by his subordinates, and became a sucker?
Whether he is sober or confused, after these eight people are transferred there, you will know it once you try it.
If his subordinates do it, He Xuzhi, as the head of the Ministry of Rites, could not escape the responsibility of being inattentive.
Moreover, during the interrogation process, one will inevitably be impeached by someone who is guilty of sheltering and favoring others and hiding criminals.
What's even more terrifying is that if he could pull out the radish from his subordinates and pull the higher forces behind He Xuzhi and even the unknown ones behind him, it would be even more a major case.
It seems that I made a mistake in my judgment before. He Xuzhi, a famous talented man, is not the priest behind him, and he is not as arrogant as everyone seems to see!
In any case, everyone shoots the horse first, and captures the thief first.
Lu Chengfeng had a premonition that a bloody storm was about to come again!
Chapter completed!
