The first eldest prince committed a serious crime of killing his whole family, not to mention his bloodline. Not even a maidservant in the same house could escape, so how could he leave his bloodline behind?
"The first eldest prince's crimes were so heinous that the late emperor would never allow a trace of his bloodline to remain!"
Li Mohan stared at him with sinister eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? My father was just framed. If the late emperor didn't have a guilty conscience, how could he have left me alive?"
Pingyang Hou seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed up at the sky: "In more than 20 years, I have never heard such ridiculous words."
His smile suddenly stopped, and he stared at Li Mohan with sharp eyes: "Back then, the eldest prince personally designed and killed the second prince and the third prince, then framed the blame on the fourth prince, sent people to assassinate the fifth prince, and ambushed the sixth prince.
If the Holy Emperor hadn't been far away in the fiefdom, I'm afraid he would have been killed by his butcher's knife."
"For such a man who has so little blood debt, you are still here to cry out for him?"
"The late emperor also hoped that he would be wronged, but when his house was ransacked, did you know what was hidden in his secret room?"
Li Mohan stared at him with his eyes, unable to believe what he heard.
However, he still asked: "What did you find?"
Marquis Pingyang smiled coldly and said word by word: "The dragon robe has been discovered! The first prince had long been rebellious and planned to force the late emperor to abdicate after killing all his brothers."
Li Mohan was greatly shocked and shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's impossible! You're talking nonsense! Who are you? Who arranged for you to say this to me here? Who?"
He roared at the top of his lungs, and his roar echoed throughout the cell.
Marquis Pingyang smiled calmly, straightened his back, and said proudly: "I am Marquis Pingyang. I was the one who was responsible for copying the eldest prince's palace back then. Everything I said is true. If there is any lie, let me know.
My son who was on the run was caught immediately."
Li Mohan: "!!!"
He had heard about the things Pingyang Hou and his son did.
What surprised him was that Marquis Pingyang was already a dead fish on the chopping board, but he still wanted to help Jin Shang speak.
Is it possible that what he said is true?
That night, Li Mohan's entire worldview was overturned.
When Li Mohan entered the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, some people were really happy and some were sad.
Originally, the emperor asked him to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to organize this scientific examination, but after he entered, things naturally had to be rearranged.
This made the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette very busy.
As students came to the capital one after another, Madam Yu's library also opened.
Whether they were students from poor families or from rich families, they were very curious about this kind of library that they had never heard of before, so they went to visit it one after another.
The decoration of Yu's Library is warmer and more elegant than that of Yu's Tea House, and there are screens between each seat, which can ensure that readers will not be disturbed.
The tea and snacks are made in the backyard and will never disturb the guests inside while they are reading.
The shopkeeper's counter is located at the entrance. There is a large signboard at the entrance. The rules for entering the store are clearly written and you can understand them at a glance.
It had only been open for three days, and more than half of the guests in the capital went to Yu's Tea House, and the other half went to Yu's Library.
The shopkeeper of Yuzhenlou was fiddling with his abacus, feeling angry.
It's been half a month, and the business is not as good as the one-day revenue of one store. How can I have the nerve to hand over this account to my boss?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
No, he can't sit still and wait for death. That woman named Yu is not a good person, so don't blame him for being rude!
Doesn’t she want to run a student business?
Who doesn’t have a scholar anymore?
The next day.
Mrs. Yu was calculating the accounts at the counter. Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded: "Shopkeeper, what's going on? Why do you have so many bugs in your heart? Is this to bully us poor students who don't have enough money?"
The sound was not quiet at all. Not only the entire first floor heard it, but also the people sitting on the second floor heard it.
He directly brought the poor student in, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
There is no doubt that those who can sit here for half a day are mostly students from poor families.
Mrs. Yu frowned and looked up at the person who was speaking. She saw a young man in his early twenties with a somewhat evil look walking towards her carrying a plate of snacks and fruits.
Judging from the material of his clothes, they are actually fine brocade.
Such a person is from a poor family?
Madam Jade sneered secretly, I am afraid this was not someone who came to mess with her.
Seeing that there was no trace of timidity on her face, the man placed the plate in his hand heavily in front of her, and said arrogantly: "If your library doesn't give you a reasonable explanation today, I will make everyone in the capital...
You know, your Yu family library, relying on the support of the eldest princess, doesn’t pay attention to poor students like us."
"It's the same snacks, but the ones given to us are not clean, and the ones given to the rich are of good quality. What's the matter? Didn't you make the rule yourself that you can sit here for a day for the price of a cup of tea?"
With just a few words, he aroused the emotions of other poor students.
They all echoed loudly: "Shopkeeper, once you open a store, you must be honest. How can you last long with such a flattering attitude?"
"That's right. Although we are poor today, who can guarantee that we will not be ranked in the scientific examination next month? The boss lady's vision is too narrow in doing things like this."
Everyone was talking in a flurry of words, as if they had already convicted Madam Yu.
At this moment, Li Huang, who was passing by and wanted to go into the store, took in all this.
She turned to look at Ling Yuan and asked silently: "That man doesn't look like a student from other places."
The corners of Lingyuan's eyes twitched, and she leaned into her ear and whispered: "Your Highness, that is the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper of Yuzhen Tower, and his family has quite a lot of money."
Although her voice was low, it was enough for those who were close to hear her.
So, someone took a closer look at the boy's clothes.
Upon seeing this, some people were surprised: "Huh? You are wearing brocade, how dare you say you are poor?"
After being reminded by this person, someone immediately recognized him.
"Isn't this the brother-in-law of Li San's family? What? Your brother-in-law's Yuzhen Building is not doing well, so you are asked to come here to look for trouble?"
With just one sentence, this kid's skin was stripped off in an instant.
At this time, the students sitting here suddenly realized that they were sent by the opponent to cause trouble.
Li San's brother-in-law looked gloomy and glared at the person who revealed his identity and cursed: "Wang Pi, what does it have to do with you that I am here to read a book? I am also a prostitute after all, so what's the matter with borrowing two good clothes from relatives?
"
Hearing this, Ling Yuan burst out laughing: "You still have the nerve to call yourself an exam candidate with just two ounces of ink in your belly? Do you think that others have forgotten about the cheating in the exam?"
