Chapter six hundred and fortieth five years of confinement
As soon as Han Feng came out, Wangjiang Tower fell silent for an instant.
When everyone saw that he really wanted to arrest a few people and bring them to the officials, they all stepped forward to smooth things over.
"What are you doing, Langjun Han? We are all classmates and friends, how can you not save him even if you die?"
They now sympathized with these people and regarded Jiang Miao and the others as villains who bullied others. Seeing that Han Feng not only refused to help them, but also added insult to injury, for a moment, everyone looked at him with accusations.
"Since any of them have slandered your daughter's reputation, they must be prepared to be punished. Moreover, these people were the first to propose to see the official. Han is just granting them permission!"
He threw the ball loudly, and Kong Wu's powerful arms hugged the arms of several people. Those people were just weak scholars, no match for Han Feng, who practiced martial arts every day.
They wailed and wanted Han Feng to let them go, but Han Feng was not moved at all.
Zhao Mingzhen was sobbing, staring at the scene in front of her with round eyes, and her mind went blank.
Why would Han Feng help her?
"They bullied you, I will avenge you!"
Han Feng led someone to walk up to her and said to the confused little lady. Zhao Mingzhen's ears felt hot and she nodded in confusion.
"Thanks."
The two of them are strong and soft, both handsome and talented. They seem to be a perfect match regardless of these crying scholars.
Wang Yanchang in the corner looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with jealousy, and he wanted to rush forward and separate them.
But looking at Han Feng's strong body, he flinched in his heart and ducked into the corner again.
Those who spoke ill of Zhao Mingzhen were all arrested by Han Feng. If he, the person spreading rumors, was caught, his end would be even worse.
Only then did Wang Yanchang feel panicked. The man only told him to go ahead and do it, but he didn't say anything about what he would do if he was found out.
He originally thought that after destroying Zhao Mingzhen's reputation, no one would be willing to marry her. When he took the initiative to propose marriage, Zhao Mingzhen, who already liked him, had to agree happily.
But, why is this direction wrong?
Wang Yanchang was so frightened that he almost lost his courage. Now he just wanted to find someone to help him with advice. He didn't want to offend the nobles. He wanted to take part in the imperial examination and win the first prize to become an official in the court!
A great future is waiting for him, and he can't just give up.
Wang Yanchang thought that others did not notice him, so he sneaked out of Wangjiang Tower with luck, but he did not know that his every move was in the eyes of others.
After the morning court, Zhao Jing called Shen Yanqing to the Yangxin Hall.
Sure enough, he also heard the rumors.
"What kind of background does this Wang Yanchang have that he dares to arrange the title of Queen and Princess?"
He hasn't asked anyone to investigate yet, and he doesn't know much about the entanglement between several people.
But Shen Yanqing already knew all the information from the secret guard.
"This man pestered County Princess Mingzhen to no avail, so his love led to hatred and he wanted to ruin the reputation of County Princess Mingzhen."
"How did Zilan and Miaoya get involved?"
Zhao Jing didn't know whether to call Wang Yanchang stupid or simply brave. He couldn't offend just one noble person, but he had to offend all three of them.
"Yin Manyu, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, was the instigator behind the scenes, so Wang Yanchang took the risk and spread rumors about the three of them."
"It's actually her?"
Apparently Zhao Jing still remembered this Yin Manyu, his brows were furrowed and there was disgust in his eyes.
Shen Yan was surprised for a moment when he found out who was behind the scenes. Without him, Yin Manyu and Jiang Miao had no intersection. Zhao Mingzhen seldom interacted with noble ladies in the capital, so it was impossible to come here for her.
The ministers urged the emperor to select a show, and among the selected beauties was Lady Yin.
Shen Yanqing quickly figured out that Yin Manyu was here for Xu Zilan.
He didn't want to hide it and told the emperor the truth of the matter.
Zhao Jing was furious and slapped the dragon couch hard.
"What a wonderful daughter taught by Yin Shangshu!"
He had embarrassed Xu Zilan in public before, and now he was plotting behind his back. The Yin family dared to touch the person he loved, damn it!
The emperor's anger was naturally not something that could be easily appeased.
First of all, Wang Yanchang was deprived of the right to take the imperial examination and was given a fifty-strong slap in the face in public. Those students with bad mouths were also given a thirty-strong slap each and were expelled from the academy and would never be admitted.
Although they were not deprived of their places in the scientific examination, they still had a bad reputation after being named to the emperor. Even if they had the courage to do so, they would not dare to go to Beijing again. Now it was important to save their lives.
It's all Wang Yanchang's fault for instigating them to offend the nobles. Now that their future is ruined, they feel regretful.
There were also some who were unconvinced and wanted to demand justice, but when others heard that he wanted to meet the emperor to redress his grievances, they all looked at him as a fool.
They insulted the Queen and the County Lord, and wanted the Emperor to make the decision for them. They were probably out of their minds.
Everyone shook their heads and stayed away from them to avoid being infected with stupid diseases.
As for the Yin family, Shen Yanqing asked his subordinates to write a report, impeaching Yin Shangshu in the morning meeting, and clearly stated that Yin Manyu instigated Wang Yanchang to slander Jiang Miao and others.
Yin Shangshu did not expect that his daughter would get into trouble again, and he fell on the ground in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, it is the old minister who has failed to teach the daughter well. The old minister will definitely punish her severely when he returns home! I also ask the emperor to see that for the sake of the old minister's assistance for so many years, let the rebellious daughter have a way out."
Anyone who dares to slander the queen will be dead anyway. Yin Shangshu can't figure out why his daughter is so stupid and wants to go against the queen.
The emperor's ability is beyond all opinions. He marries a merchant girl as his queen. It is obvious that he loves Xu Zilan. Yin Manyu goes to provoke her regardless of life or death. It is simply a matter of life and death.
Zhao Jing looked at the courtiers who were kneeling down, his eyes cold and heartless, showing no anger or authority.
Although Yin Manyu was vicious, Yin Shangshu did not do much wrong. Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Yin Chu was demoted to Minister of Rites. Yin Manyu was cruel and cruel at a young age and was banned for three years. The nuns in the palace taught him the rules and changed his ways as soon as possible!"
Yin Shangshu was demoted three levels in a row. He lost all energy and fell to the ground and said feebly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although he saved his life, he still had a stain on the emperor, and it would be difficult for him to be promoted in the future.
Mr. Yin is now filled with hatred and anger. This evil girl has caused such a big trouble and caused him so much misery. How can there be any optical rules?
When word of the demotion came back to the Yin family, Mrs. Yin's legs weakened and she almost fell. Fortunately, the mother-in-law behind her supported her, while Yin Manyu, who was smiling and talking to her mother next to her, completely panicked.
"How could it be? How could Daddy be demoted?"
She subconsciously thought that what she had done would be exposed, but there was no one else in the box at the time, and she had not seen Wang Yanchang in person, so how could she be discovered.
Yin Manyu still had luck in her heart, but when Yin Shilang came back, brought the nanny out of the palace, and gave the order of three years of confinement, Yin Manyu fell to her knees on the ground with a white face.
"Three years of grounding? Dad, my daughter doesn't want it!"
