In the next two days, he and several deputy examiners reviewed papers in the Gongyuan. They were not allowed to leave the Gongyuan until they had reviewed all the papers.
Several deputy examiners reviewed part of the papers respectively, but he, the chief examiner, had to go through them all to avoid omissions. There were hundreds of papers, and it took a lot of energy to read them one by one, so that Hongli never When I walked out of the Gongyuan, my face was a little pale.
To his surprise, Hong Zhou was outside. When he saw him coming out, he came up to him and said, "After waiting for the fourth brother for more than half an hour, he finally came out. How is it? Is everything going well? Your face seems a little bad. .”
"I think I read it too late last night and didn't sleep well, so it doesn't matter." After that, he said excitedly: "This autumn, there are many amazing and talented people. Those articles are really good and breathtaking. I believe that in the examination next year, these people will definitely be nominated for the gold list and become the pillars of the imperial court."
Seeing that Hong Li was getting more and more excited as he talked, Hong Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Looking at Fourth Brother, it seems that being the examiner is very enjoyable. Why don't you be the examiner for the exam next year?"
Hongli shook his head and said: "Forget it, you don't know what happened in Qiuwei this time. If I do it again, I'm really afraid that I will die. Besides, at the time of the examination, the best people from all over the country gathered. I am not knowledgeable enough for top talents. If I read the wrong paper, I will waste my life."
Hong Zhou nodded and said instead: "I have nothing to do and have written several articles. Why don't you take this opportunity and ask Fourth Brother to help me take a look?"
Hongli stumbled and almost fell down, then he laughed and cursed: "Hey, Fifth Brother, did you do this on purpose? You know that I have read so many papers and articles, and now I have a headache just thinking about it, and you still want me to read it to you?"
Hong Zhou chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Fourth brother has been locked up in the Gongyuan for so many days. He must not know many things. Come on, I've booked a private room in the restaurant. Let's drink and talk at the same time."
Hong Li did not object and went to the restaurant with him. The private room was very quiet. The waiter went out after serving the wine and food. After Hong Zhou poured the wine for each other, he said mysteriously: "The Ministry of Punishment's judgment on Yingge." It has already come down. I have read the files and sentenced him to death, but what will happen in the end depends on Huang Ama’s will. The Ministry of Punishment has submitted the verdict and the result should be available in the next day or two. Fourth brother, you Will Huang Ama spare Yingge's life? Yesterday I went to pay my respects to E Niang, and I heard from her that the queen made a special trip to ask Huang Ama for this, but the result is unknown."
Hongli took a sip of wine and said, "If I wanted to forgive him, I would have forgiven him long ago. How could I wait until the Ministry of Punishment came out with the results before pardoning me? Just watch, Yingge will not escape death this time."
"That's right. We spent so much effort setting up this trap. If we let him escape with his life again, it's really not worth the trouble. But in the final analysis, this time we still get half the result with twice the result and not the full result." Hong Zhou raised his head and drank. A glass of wine, looking a little depressed.
Hongli knew why he was depressed. He could have killed Yingge and Hongshi this time, but Yingge took all the responsibility and allowed Hongshi to get away with it. Not to mention Hongzhou, even he was a little unhappy. Ganxin, after thinking for a while, he said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. Besides, although the second brother escaped this time, it does not necessarily mean that nothing happened to him. Huang Ama has already become suspicious of him. "
As soon as he said this, Hong Zhou suddenly became energetic and nodded: "That's right, the errands he has now have been cleared up, and he will soon become a completely idle prince, no longer competing with his fourth brother.
Qualifications.”
Hongli smiled and said, "Are you still used to being in the Ministry of Punishment these days?"
"Just do what you have to do. There's nothing to get used to." As he was talking, there was a knock on the door suddenly. It was Hong Zhou's confidant. He came in and called Qian'er and said: "Prince Qi and Baylor."
Sir, the imperial court’s verdict regarding Yingge has come down, and the decree has been conveyed to the Ministry of Punishment not long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhou immediately perked up and asked quickly: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"The execution will be carried out tomorrow!" After the boy finished speaking, Hong Zhou clenched his fists and said: "Yingge has done so many bad things over the years, and he has finally received retribution. This is so magnificent and unforgettable.
Without leaking.”
Hongli didn't speak, but there was rare excitement in his eyes. The death of one Yingge might not be able to uproot the Nala clan, but at least it would give them a heavy blow that could not be healed.
Compared to their excitement, Hongshi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was cold, and even the blood flowing in his body seemed to freeze.
Huang Ama... is really cruel. He insists on putting his uncle to death. Although his life is not in danger now, the power he finally has in his hands is leaving one by one. Soon, he will
Become a useless prince who is nothing.
Hate! So hateful! He spent so much effort to get to this point, but in the end he was making wedding clothes for others, and even his uncle's life could not be saved. Although many important things and secret guards were all hidden before.
The method was transferred to him, but his uncle himself was a flag of the Nala clan. If he died, it would definitely cause a turmoil, and even he couldn't predict what the consequences would be.
Just when he was feeling angry, Wang Zhong walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Sir Fei Yanggu wants to see you."
Hongshi was startled and said quickly: "Grandpa? He can talk?" Fei Yanggu has been unable to speak since he was paralyzed. Now Wang Zhong suddenly said that Fei Yanggu wanted to see him. How could he not be surprised?
"According to the servants who served Fei Yanggu, he did call out the prince's name." As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Hongshi walked out quickly and came to the quiet courtyard where Fei Yanggu was placed.
.
Inside the room, a servant was serving Fei Yanggu to drink medicine. When he saw Hong Shi coming in, Fei Yanggu immediately closed his mouth and refused to take another sip. He just stared at Hong Shi.
Hongshi signaled his servants to leave. He sat by the bed and held Fei Yanggu's hand: "Grandpa, did they say you can speak?"
"Hong... Hong... Shi!" Fei Yanggu uttered these two words with difficulty, which made the latter excited. He said with a smile: "If the Queen knows that you can speak, she will be very happy."
"Ying...ying..." Fei Yanggu spoke again. This time he could only say one word, but it was enough for Hongshi to understand what he meant. He tightened his skinny hand and said to Fei Yanggu who was breathing rapidly.
Yang Gu forced a smile and said: "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. My uncle is fine. He's just in jail right now, but he shouldn't be in danger of his life. I'll go and beg you again in a few days after Emperor Ama's anger has subsided."
