"So this is it?" The inspector took out another cheat sheet.
The soldier looked at it with wide eyes and saw that the words on it were indeed different from the previous one. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, this is the one."
"You must pay attention carefully..." the inspector said with a cold smile.
"Is this..." The soldier was unsure again, swallowed his foam and said, "It seems so."
"Read the words above," the inspector shouted in a low voice, his face becoming more serious.
"This, this..." The soldier had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The Five Classics...that collection."
"What a "Collected Commentary on the Five Classics"" the inspector shouted angrily: "Come here, give me a hard beating."
Then an official came forward, threw the soldier to the ground, took off his pants, swung his stick and beat him. The soldier screamed: "I'm wronged, why do you want to beat me?"
"I'm going to beat you up, you talkative bitch," the inspector spat, "The four characters on this booklet are clearly the Examiner's Code of Conduct, where did the 'Five Classics Anthology' come from?" He shouted sternly, "You're so stupid
"Sir, you are obviously illiterate, but you insist that what you found is a collection of commentaries on the Five Classics. This is obviously a frame-up, and you are not inviting it from the truth. Who instigated you to do this?"
The sticks fell like raindrops, and in a blink of an eye, the soldier's skin and flesh were torn apart. He couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Stop hitting me, I said it, I said it."
The inspector waved his hand and stopped his stick. The soldier gasped and hissed: "I am also a member of the imperial court. If you break it, I can't bear the consequences."
"I still want to be beaten." The inspector snorted and was about to drop his stick again. The soldier said hurriedly: "Really, I am the Jinyiwei spy who monitors the Zhejiang Provincial Examination."
"Nonsense," the inspector angrily said, "How could the spies of Jinyiwei frame up the students who are taking the exam?"
"I don't know about this," the soldier wanted to put on a arrogant expression, but he gritted his teeth in pain and said, "It's an order from above..."
Although these words were pale and feeble, the inspector believed them a little. He snorted and motioned to his men to take down the soldier, and then turned back to secretly interrogate him. He then turned to Wang Xian and nodded: "Since it has been found out that you are unjustly accused,
, then go back and continue the exam."
"Thank you, sir." Wang Xian clasped his fists in thanks, and the inspector asked the prosecutor to send him back to his dormitory.
On the way back to the dormitory, Wang Xian bowed deeply to the prosecutor and said, "Thank you for your generous help."
"Haha, Mr. Wang, you don't have to be polite," the prosecutor grinned at him and whispered, "I am Zhou Zhitai's subordinate, how can I not help my own people?"
"I see." Wang Xian suddenly realized that I am a good person and will be rewarded...
After successfully passing the second session, Wang Xian came out of the examination room, but did not go home first. Instead, he had people guard the door of the examination hall, waiting for the soldier who had framed him to come out.
At dusk, I finally saw the soldier. Apparently the inspector didn't want to do anything, so he let him go without further investigation. He saw the soldier lying on a large cart, groaning, and didn't notice.
He has been targeted.
The guards followed the big car out of the street where the examination center was located. As soon as it turned into an alley, they rushed up and captured everyone on and off the car.
"Don't mess around." The soldier shouted loudly and said, "Do you know who I am?"
"Why are you making such a noise?" The guard knocked out two of the soldier's big teeth with one punch, causing him to whimper in pain and unable to scream anymore. The guards in the East Palace might be afraid of Ji Gang, but they would not be able to deal with the soldiers and generals of the Jinyi Guards.
Take it seriously.
At this time, the guards separated, and Wang Xian walked in with a mocking look on his face, "I don't care what kind of bastard you are, I have already said it, let's ride on the donkey and look at the ledger, we'll see." He waved his hand and said, "Take the
There is another exam tomorrow, so today is obviously not the time to deal with this matter.
At three o'clock the next day, Wang Xian got up again and prepared for the third interview. After washing his face and dressing up, he calmly asked: "Are you ready?"
"Recruited." The head guard named Xu Gong nodded and said, "This is the order from a hundred households named Du in the Qianhu Institute of Zhejiang."
"Du Baihu..." Wang Xian touched his chin and said, "We are still old acquaintances." He said in a cold voice, "Have you caught him?"
"It's in Luyuan." Xu Gong said helplessly: "If it were elsewhere, the brothers would have been arrested by the adults to vent their anger, but after all, it is the territory of the Jin Yiwei. At this juncture, the brothers do not dare to make arbitrary decisions.
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said with a sullen face: "Jinyiwei has deceived people too much. How can we not avenge old and new grudges?"
"Yes." Xu Gong cheered up and said, "Brothers, all listen to the military advisor."
"Okay, let's do this..." Wang Xian whispered his plan. Xu Gong was stunned for a while, then smacked his lips and said, "Military advisor, isn't this a bit too big a deal?"
"What are you afraid of?" Wang Xian sneered and said with a sneer: "They did it on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, how can I still be thirty?"
"That's right. That's going to be a good show." Xu Gong was also a person who didn't take the matter too seriously and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, wait until I come out and see what your results are." Wang Xian smiled, patted his shoulder, and went out to attend the third game.
At noon two days later, the examination hall opened, and the three Qiuwei exams were finally completed. The exhausted students came out one by one, and they wished they could lie down on the ground and sleep to death. After all, Wang Xian had something
He had been tempered and was in much better spirits than others. He saw Xu Gong waiting at the entrance of the examination hall. Wang Xian nodded to him and got on the carriage.
Xu Gong got into the car with him and reported with a face full of shame: "In the past few days, we have arrested thirty-six Jinyi guards, big and small, but there is no Du Baihu." He added: "I guess that guy was too scared.
Dare to come out."
"Thirty-six genuine Jin Yiwei?" Wang Xian asked.
"Yes, those white servants and the like are not included." Xu Gong nodded.
"That's quite a lot..." Wang Xian took a breath and said. As far as he knew, there were only sixty or seventy Jinyiwei officers in Zhejiang Qianhu Station, and the rest were white servants recruited from the local area. "What about Ji Song?
reaction?"
Xu Gong said with a smile: "His reaction was a bit strange. He neither informed the local government nor reported it to Beijing. He just silently searched for it."
"There is nothing strange about this," Wang Xian said with a smile: "The officials in Hangzhou hate the Jinyiwei. He is worried that they will take the opportunity to add insult to injury, so of course he will not ask them for help. As for not reporting to Beijing, it is also human nature, half of them
His subordinate was kidnapped in a daze, and we don’t know who did it. If this spreads to the capital, even his uncle won’t be able to save him."
"Yes, what the emperor hates most is not corrupt officials or cruel staff, but incompetent people." Xu Gongshen said in agreement. "Since he dare not speak out, what should we do next?"
"Don't panic, hide the people first." Wang Xian said with a faint smile: "We have plenty of time this time, and we can play with them slowly." At first, he asked these guards to capture the lone Jin Yiwei, mainly because he wanted to save them.
Baihu forced him to come out. But after two days of thinking in the trial court, he changed his mind. What is the value of a small character like Du Baihu? Ji Gang's nephew is the real prey.
As soon as this idea sprouted, Wang Xian was startled at first, but soon he couldn't resist it. Not to mention the old and new hatred between himself and Jin Yiwei, which was already unending. Just talking about the disaster of the prince and grandson,
Jinyiwei plays a pivotal role.
If your father is not dead, the disaster will not end. If discipline is not eliminated, the prince will never have peace. You and your family are always shrouded in crisis. Just like this time, the crisis came quietly at a moment when you didn't expect it.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to take the initiative and get rid of Ji Gang
After making up his mind, Wang Xian smiled bitterly. Everyone in the world wished Ji Gang could die in the sea, and there were many powerful princes and ministers among them. But for so many years, Ji Gang was still alive and well. He was only seen causing harm to others, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Anyone who dares to provoke him - those who dare to provoke him have been crushed by him many years ago
Over the years, this guy's power has been too great. He has been known as the most vicious person in the Ming Dynasty and has been so domineering that even the princes and ministers have to avoid him. Even though he is a lowly and unpopular person, he wants to get rid of him in a serious way.
It’s really funny...
After being ridiculous, he thought about it and realized that in order to resolve the prince's crisis, it was inevitable to move the mountain of Ji Gang... According to the news from the capital, after paying an extremely heavy price,
The prince finally passed this level. But looking at Emperor Yongle's heroic appearance in fighting the enemy, there is no problem at all in surviving for more than ten years. If Ji Gang, the spy chief, is allowed to continue to frame him, His Highness the prince will escape the first day of the new year.
If you can't escape fifteen, you will eventually die.
Wang Xian also suddenly understood why the prince was so passive before. It was because he was too passive. He always felt that he was occupying the position of the prince, and as long as he didn't make big mistakes, nothing would happen. However, he forgot that everyone's words make money, and all accumulation is destroyed.
According to the principle of bones, if the two younger brothers are allowed to collude with the emperor's close ministers and chamberlains to speak ill of him day after day, how many kilograms of oil can be squeezed out even if they are covered in flesh?
If you want to turn passivity into initiative, you must wipe out all the monsters and monsters around the emperor. The first one to bear the brunt is Ji Gang, the spy chief. The reason is very simple. If you don't get rid of this person first, you will not be able to touch the king of Han and Zhao. This order cannot
chaos
Of course Ji Gang is extremely difficult to deal with, but Wang Xian believes that he will definitely find a way - in the past and present, who of such cruel officials could end up well? As long as he finds his destiny, there will be hope.
Since Zhejiang Jinyiwei Qianhu Jisong is Ji Gang's nephew, he must know something that interests him, right?
As the carriage drove along the bluestone road in the alley, bumping slightly, a bold idea to trap Ji Song emerged in Wang Xian's mind.
