"Then tell me." Xu Yingxian made another move to prick Hu Zhong's lower body with a needle. He was so frightened that he became incontinent on the spot...
"I said, I said..." Mr. Hu finally recovered from the lack of oxygen in his brain, and said extremely depressed: "What the hell did I say?" He found that he was really unlucky in his life. He had just been killed a few days ago.
He was sent to Yingtian Mansion Prison for one night, and today he was subjected to this eternal torture. How could it be such a tragedy?
"Tell me how your father gave you the test questions and resold them through your hands..." Xu Yingxian said in a dark voice.
"this"
"Say or not?"
"I said..." Although Hu Zhong knew that he was being framed, he still explained what he had done before.
When Wang Xian led the crowd and rushed into the court, Mr. Hu had already confessed everything that should be said and what should not be said, and put his fingerprints on the confession. Hearing the noise outside, Xu Ying took people out first, and saw his men talking to Wang Xian.
The Xian people confronted each other. He waved the confession in his hand and sneered triumphantly: "Master Zhenfu came a little late, and Mr. Hu Ge's son has already recruited everything."
"It's just a trick." Seeing this, Wang Xian was no longer anxious. He chuckled and said, "That's all you have."
"This little skill is enough to send you to prison." Xu Yingxian said with a look of gloating: "Master Zhenfu should quickly think about how to explain to the emperor why the inspection is so strict and there are still so many cases from Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
It’s time to be brought in.”
"It's just a frame-up." Wang Xian still said calmly: "What you did in this matter is not clever at all. The emperor's eyes are like a torch, and he will definitely see through this little trick of yours at a glance."
"Whatever you say." Xu Yingxian curled his lips and said, "Let's see who the emperor will believe when the time comes."
"Hmph..." Wang Xian snorted and stopped arguing with him.
The rest of the night was spent in a confrontation between the two sides. Although Wang Xian wanted to rescue Yu Qian and others, he could not just get into trouble with Ji Gang's people. For the same reason, Ji Gang's people did not dare to have any more trouble.
Otherwise, Wang Xian, a fool, would be really angered. Both sides would kill each other and a river of blood would flow. No one could escape when the emperor was so angry.
Just facing each other like this, they finally endured the long night. After dawn, as soon as the palace door opened, Ying Tiantong Zhi Qian Gai immediately reported what happened in Yingtian Gongyuan to Emperor Yongle. Zhu Di was naturally furious.
, immediately issued an edict - ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu to lead 5,000 soldiers to blockade the Yingtian Gongyuan, lock up all the examiners from the 18th room and the 1st examination officer who were under the independent examination Liang Qian, and take them to the prison temple to wait.
Kan. Wang Xian and Ji Gang were ordered to stop running errands and immediately went to the palace to confront them.
This made Wang Xian feel a little relieved. It seemed that the emperor still had some trust in him and would not just listen to Ji Gang's words... But as Qian Gai was the chief examiner, the emperor did not give him a chance to explain in person. This was really ominous.
Signal, it seems that the emperor has put the blame for leaking the test questions on him. In front of the extremely shrewd Emperor Yongle, it is really difficult for him to get Qian Gai back.
Thinking wildly along the way, he came to Beiyuan. While waiting for the summons outside Yitian Palace, Wang Xian saw Hu Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Guan, censor of Zuodu, and Wuzhong, minister of punishment department. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor was going to let
The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to hear the case. Although the two ministers were sure to hear the case impartially, they could not collude with Ji Ganghang.
"Zhongde, Mr. Ji..." Mr. Hu Ge, who used to be a suave and elegant man, with anxiety written all over his well-maintained face, said hello to Wang Xian and Ji Gang.
The two different titles immediately distinguished the distant and distant relatives. It was obvious that Mr. Hu Ge had already understood what happened in the Gongyuan. At least it was clear who was the enemy and who was the friend.
Ji Gang snorted and ignored Hu Guang. Wang Xian bowed his hands to Hu Guanggong and said apologetically: "I was a step too late to get the official position, which made Master Ling suffer."
"Zhongde's words are serious. I have neglected my discipline. Quanzi has become a bit arrogant in recent years. He bumped into Zhongde in the restaurant the day before yesterday." Hu Guang said with a guilty look on his face: "Zhongde rescued him regardless of the past grudges. This kind of mind and heart
The kindness makes the old man feel ashamed and deeply touched."
"Let's not talk about the past," Wang Xian shook his head and said without shying away from others: "Young Master Ling is in some trouble now, but the cheat sheet found was indeed not brought into the scene by him." He was not just doing this for himself.
Hu Zhong cleared away the responsibility for himself, the prosecutor.
"Sure enough." Hu Guang's expression relaxed when he heard this, and he dared to say a few hard words: "Although the dog is incompetent, he will not commit crimes." After confirming that his son had not been caught, Hu Guang finally took advantage of the situation.
It shows the momentum of the chief minister of the dynasty... Although the chief minister of the Yongle Dynasty was the emperor's chief secretary, he did not have the prime ministerial demeanor of the chief minister of later generations. "Since someone wants to frame him and beat him, I have no choice but to accompany him to the end.
If you don’t believe in the clarity of the universe and the clear sun and moon, you can let others confuse right and wrong.”
These words were a declaration of war against Ji Gang, but Governor Ji ignored them at all. He looked disdainful, but secretly hated him... This Wang Xian came so fast last night that he didn't have time to interrogate the others.
We only got a confession from Hu Zhong, which was really not safe. At this time, Governor Ji had already regretted it. If he had been calmer and not involved Wang Xian in this case, today's situation would have been under control. It's a pity.
There is no regret selling medicine in the world, now I can only do my best.
Several adults were waiting for a cup of tea outside the Yitian Palace when they saw a tall figure wearing a marquis uniform coming out of the palace. If it wasn't Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu, who could it be? I saw that Xue Marquis was still cautious when he came out of the palace.
But as soon as he saw Ji Gang, he became murderous. The two looked at each other coldly for a moment, and then Ji Gang snorted: "Master Hou is meddling in other people's business."
"I love dogs and mice, especially you, the mouse." Xue Lu grinned and said, "Why, are you feeling aggrieved that I ruined a good thing?"
"Humph, you don't have to pretend. If you dare to rush your servants to attack the Gongyuan late at night, I don't believe the emperor can spare you," Ji Gang said coldly.
"Haha, the emperor scolded me and fined me a year's salary. He said that I was originally promoted to Duke, but now I am exempted from it." Xue Lu was clearly punished miserably, but he said with a proud face: "But...
It’s worth it if you get angry once.”
"You..." Ji Gang really made Xue Lu twist his nose in anger, and said angrily: "You really have a broken brain.
"That's not a gift from you." Xue Lu stared at Ji Gang with a pair of bull's eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"I think you need to try again." Ji Gang was a scholar after all, and Xue Lu couldn't win him over with his quarrels.
"I'll give you a shot first." Xue Lu was so angry that he suddenly raised his fist and punched Ji Gang in the face. This unexpected punch actually had the sound of fierce wind, leaving no doubt that if
Hitting Ji Gang on the head can turn him into a rotten watermelon. And at such a close distance, Ji Gang doesn't even have time to react.
However, when Governor Ji grabbed Zhu Di's horse and surrendered to the army, he was confident that he had unrivaled martial arts skills. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill Xue Lu, who was highly skilled in martial arts. Although Xue Lu's sneak attack was caught off guard, Ji Gang was still able to forcefully attack Xue Lu.
The bridge dodged. However, Mr. Xue's long-planned blow was not completely ineffective. The iron fist barely scratched the tip of Ji Gang's nose. Governor Ji only felt a pain in his nose, and then his nose began to bleed.
Xue Luyou didn't understand his hatred and wanted to continue to fight, but was stopped by Wu Zhong and Liu Guan: "Master Hou, calm down, just fight wherever you are." Xue Lu also knew that it didn't matter if he punched Ji Gang once.
, I am afraid that I will make the emperor angry.
"Stop it!" At this time, Huang, the steward of Yitian Palace, came out quickly and said angrily: "I want to beat him in front of the emperor."
One sentence frightened Xue Lu and made him shrink his head, smearing the soles of his feet and running away. Seeing his figure disappearing quickly, Wang Xian couldn't help but vomit. This Lao Hou is indeed not a simple character. He took the initiative to provoke Ji Gang as soon as he left the hall.
, just want Ji Gang to scold him so furiously that he can take the opportunity to beat him up, save face and relieve his hatred. The so-called rough words and deeds are just his protective color and pass...
Huang quickly asked someone to stop the nosebleeds of Governor Ji. Seeing that there were blood stains on the front of Ji Gang's official uniform, Huang said: "Captain Ji should go back and change into his official uniform before seeing the driver again."
"No need." Ji Gang just wanted to show the emperor how arrogant Xue Lu was and how he was willing to eliminate the evidence of his crime for Xue Lu. He angrily rejected Huang's kindness and entered the hall with his head raised... He couldn't do it without raising his head.
Ah, the nosebleeds will come out.
In the Yitian Hall, Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and allowed Ji Gang, Hu Guang and others to kneel down and worship. After he died, the emperor saw that Ji Gang had cotton balls stuffed in his nose and blood stains on his chest. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Ji Aiqing, it's
Who hurt you like this?"
"Your Majesty, it's Xue Lu..." Ji Gang said with an aggrieved look on his face: "I don't know why he went crazy. Not only did he send troops to attack the Gongyuan last night, but today he didn't say a word when we met, and he beat up the minister." He said to the emperor.
He kowtowed vigorously and said: "I beg the emperor to make the decision for me."
"Okay, don't cry in mourning," Zhu Di said unmoved: "When you cracked his head open, I didn't hold you accountable. Today he just gave you a nosebleed, how can I hold him accountable?
"
"Your Majesty..." Although he said it as if he was taking advantage, Ji Gang felt a chill in his heart, and there was a fear that the Holy Family was gradually disappearing.
"Okay, okay, next time he dares to hit you, I will definitely make the decision for you." Looking at Ji Gang's resentful face, Zhu Di sighed and comforted him: "Get up and talk about business."
"Yes." Ji Gang felt better now and stood up and stood on the right side.
Zhu Di looked at several ministers, his face gradually darkened and said: "I just found out this morning that my talent promotion ceremony has turned into a full martial arts ceremony. Okay, this is the most exciting imperial examination since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so I will do my best.
I really want to thank you very much for this gift from the minister."
"Your Majesty, please calm down and I will admit my guilt." The ministers had no choice but to kneel down again.
"Liu Guan and Wuzhong, get up and ask the three of them to kneel down and answer." Zhu Di snorted and said, "Tell me, tell me, what kind of play is this?"
