"Master Wan!" Kuang Zhaoying entered the prison and first went to the prison where Wan Xuenian was imprisoned.
Compared to Wan Xuenian, Song Shujing only cheated in the imperial examination and accepted bribes. Although it was serious, it was nothing compared to Wan Xuenian.
At this time, Wan Xuenian had been stripped of his black gauze hat and imprisoned in the sky prison. He described himself as meticulous, but looked slightly flustered as he paced back and forth in the sky prison.
"Master Kuang!" When Wan Xuenian saw Kuang Zhaoying's expression, he knew that they were doomed. Since these people had planned to frame him, the government would be able to find evidence of the crime.
There was a sense of sadness in his heart. Naturally, he knew the consequences of cheating in the imperial examination. It would harm the entire clan, and the men would be executed, while the women would either be exiled thousands of miles away, working as military prostitutes, or in the Jiaofangsi.
At this time, Wan Xuenian didn't know that other evidence of crime had been found in Wanfu. He thought of the third prince. He was the third prince's grandfather. He fell. The third prince was unable to move in the palace. The third prince would definitely find a way to save him.
.
"Sir Wan! I was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate this case. I found out in Wan Prefecture that you were bribed before the examination, and it was also related to the case of bandits who were roaming around in various prefectures. Mr. Wan, three
The prince has been placed in solitary confinement under the Emperor's order, but Mr. Wan still tells you the truth, where are the two million taels of dirty silver?"
Kuang Zhaoying sat in front of the interrogation table, and two subordinate officials were recording the minutes of the interrogation.
Wan Xuenian was horrified, "Impossible, how could I be involved in the bandit case? Who framed me? What does twenty thousand taels of silver mean? I didn't see the silver at all."
Wan Xuenian's eyes widened. He never thought that this matter would be involved in the mountain bandit case. If he was really charged with such a crime, I am afraid that the Wan family would be executed by the Nine Clan.
He hurriedly threw himself in front of the iron railings of the prison, "Master Kuang, I want to see the emperor! It's unfair! Someone must be trying to frame me. I don't admit any of the charges you listed. Just based on a few letters,
Just decide that the lower official is guilty and let the lower official refuse to accept it."
Wan Xuenian has never done either of these two things, so how can he recognize it? For two million taels of silver, he has not seen a penny! This must be someone who wants to deal with the third prince, and has also brought trouble to Wanfu.
ah!
Kuang Zhaoying saw that Wan Xuenian was stubborn and still called him a lower official. He snorted coldly, "Wan Xuenian, do you think you can still see the emperor? I see that you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin. Come on! You're going to be executed!"
Entering this Dali Temple, even if everyone was an official in the same court before, he would not show any mercy.
"Sir, the officials have withdrawn from the court, and Lord Yin is on his way back to the palace."
When Gu Chengyu was about to meet Guo, he didn't expect Ming Mo to come in and report that Yin Kun was back.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu had something to do, Sun Xian and the others quickly stood up and left, knowing that they could not help.
"Chengyu! If you want us to do anything, just ask."
"Yes! I just hope that I can do my best." Ye Zhiqiu also knew that Gu Chengyu was very anxious. The ranking of the general examination had not been announced yet, and he did not know his results. But he was still confident after the general examination, and he was also worried that he would
Being implicated.
Gu Chengyu felt a little moved when he saw that the expressions of the two men were sincere and did not seem to be fake. Now is the time when the truth is seen in times of need. He didn't know if he would beg the other two senior brothers to help him in the future.
Gu Chengyu nodded, words of gratitude were a bit unnecessary at this moment. He packed his robes, ordered Mingmo and the others to keep an eye on Guo Shi, and then went to the Yin Mansion.
"Elder brother!" Gu Chengyu entered the Yin Mansion without any obstruction, and everything was as usual.
"Come in quickly, I'm about to send someone to look for you." As soon as Yin Kun returned home, he was not surprised to see Gu Chengyu coming. Gu Chengyu must have learned about the fraud case.
"You've heard about it! This matter is very troublesome. The emperor was very angry when he went to court today. Wan Xuenian was not only involved in the fraud case, but also..." Yin Kun planned to tell Gu Chengyu what happened in the court.
Gu Chengyu quickly interrupted. Since he already knew these things, he didn't need to listen anymore. Now it was even more important to save time and think of countermeasures.
"Brother, don't be busy. I already know what you said. You haven't had time to read the letter I sent, right? I have something to tell you. Time is tight, so let's keep it short."
Yin Kun was a little surprised, how could Gu Chengyu know what happened in the court? However, he did not ask, Gu Chengyu had his own abilities.
At this moment, all his mind was attracted by Gu Chengyu's words. At the same time, a terrifying wave surged in his heart.
"Are you saying that the eldest prince may have framed this matter? Was the eldest prince responsible for the mountain bandit case as well?"
Yin Kun found it unbelievable that the eldest prince had set up such a big trap to trap the third prince?
After Yin Kun was shocked, he began to think deeply again.
"According to what you said, what's Song Shujing's explanation? Why did the eldest prince drag Song Shujing into trouble? Song Shujing should be from the eldest prince's lineage, and his eldest daughter promised the eldest prince to be his concubine. And Song Shujing is still a concubine.
The censor of Youdu is a second-rank official, and the emperor thinks highly of him."
Yin Kun felt that this matter could not be explained.
Gu Chengyu expressed his guess, "Doesn't this further prove that this matter has nothing to do with the eldest prince? What's more, who knows who Song Shujing secretly colluded with? Maybe the eldest prince also wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Song Shujing, and this time
It's an opportunity. Of course, this is just my guess."
Yin Kun thought for a moment and felt that it was reasonable. Just looking at the evidence found, it can be proved that the case is related to the eldest prince.
"Then do you have any way to deal with it? Since it is fraud, there will definitely be a list of bribes and bribes. If the two adults are wronged, there will definitely be no list. Maybe a few people will be randomly named. After all, it is
After entering Dali Temple, the two of them are quite young, so I'm not optimistic about whether they can survive the punishment."
Yin Kun was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be ranked at the front, and those two people would be beaten into pieces, so he pointed at a few people at will.
Those sons of aristocratic families naturally don't have to worry, but Gu Chengyu has no foundation, owns property, and has a lot of money, so he will definitely bear the brunt.
"Aren't you here to get attention with your senior brother? If I go to jail, I won't resist beatings! Maybe I'll admit it?" Gu Chengyu smiled and laughed at himself.
Yin Kun rolled his eyes at him, what time had it been, and he still wanted to make a joke.
"I plan to start with Hu Maoqing. Hasn't he been looking for evidence of the eldest prince's crime? As long as it is proven that this matter was framed by the eldest prince, the imperial examination fraud case will be solved."
Gu Chengyu hesitated just now and did not tell him about the kidnapping of Guo Shi. Yin Kun was his senior brother and was not suitable to stand up. It would be safest to hand Guo Shi over to Hu Maoqing.
Yin Kun thought of Hu Maoqing who was silent in the court today and frowned.
"If Hu Maoqing had evidence, he would have presented it to the emperor long ago, and he would not have delayed it until today. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to find him."
Of course Gu Chengyu knew, but wasn't there Guo Shi? Since the eldest prince wanted to kill Guo Shi, Guo Shi must know a lot.
