"Then what if Duke Wei sits on the sidelines?"

"If Duke Wei doesn't make a move, then who else can save Xu Huiyuan? Do you count on Xu Qi'an, a warrior? He may be a good hand in solving cases and killing enemies. How can a mere warrior be able to figure out the way in the officialdom."

Chu Yuanzhen, who was staying at his old friend's house, also learned about it from his friend who had returned from the yamen during lunch time.

No. [-] was involved in the imperial examination fraud case. Although No. [-] is extremely smart, the battle between Yunlu Academy and Guozijian is an irreversible trend. If you are not smart, you can make up for it. The best ending is to get rid of fame. No. [-] cannot be an official. This is the loss of the court

"I heard that this matter was impeached by the newly-appointed Youdu Censor, but I guess, um, all parties are either watching or secretly helping, and Xu Nian is in danger." The friend said.

Chu Yuanzhen sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I just left the temple because I was tired of party struggles. Since ancient times, party struggles have hurt the country's strength, and emperors' cultivating Taoism has hurt luck."

The friend's face changed drastically: "Yuan Zhen, be careful with your words."

"What are you afraid of? I've been dressed in white for a long time, and I'm at ease." Chu Yuanzhen smiled, and then sighed: "I just thought about it for a long time, but I can't break the situation. Unless Wei Yuan ends up fighting, with Xu Ningyan's potential, Wei Yuan should be able to do it." make a decision.

"However, this may be exactly what the group of people want to see. Hey, it still can't break the situation."

Royal Palace.

In Dexinyuan, Huaiqing, who was wearing a plain palace dress, sat behind the table and nodded to the head of the guard inside: "I know, you should step down."

After the chief guard left, Huaiqing got up, walked to the window, frowned and pondered: "If it were me, how would I break the situation?"

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed.

Then, she suddenly thought, if it was Xu Ningyan, what would he do.

In a restaurant in the inner city, Sun Yaoyue booked a private room and invited his classmates and friends from the Imperial Academy to drink. The main purpose was to share a major event that was about to shake the scholars in the capital.

"Huiyuan Xu New Year of Chunwei was arrested by my father this morning. It is said that he cheated on the imperial examinations and bribed the examiners."

"The news is true?" The students of the Imperial College were shocked.

"Of course it is true. I went to the yamen to confirm it myself and asked my father. Although he was kicked out of the yamen, Zhu Shilang has already revealed it to me. Then Xu New Year is in prison, waiting for interrogation." Sun Yaoyue glanced at all the friends, proud Said eloquently.

Sun Yaoyue is the only legitimate son of Sun Shangshu, he is quite good in his studies, better than most dudes, but he has a problem, he loves to gossip.

Sun Yaoyue is both jealous and angry about Huiyuan, a student of Yunlu Academy, Xu New Year High School, and now he is imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination, not to mention how happy he is.

"That Yinluo Xu Qi'an is not a son of man, and relying on the protection of Wei Yangou, he shows off his power in the capital, writes poems and insults my father, he really deserves to be cut to death."

Sun Yaoyue slammed the table and laughed wantonly: "If you can't cut him, then cut his cousin. Hahaha, drink and drink."

When the students of the Imperial College heard the news, they were surprised and relieved. That’s right, Hui Yuan of Chunwei was acquired by a student from Yunlu Academy. What is the dignity of these scholars of the Imperial College?

Definitely cheating, definitely cheating, no other reason accepted.

"Brother Sun, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. We should let it spread widely for such a joyful thing."

"It makes sense, let's do it this way, see you tonight, Jiaofang Secretary."

Satisfied with wine and food, Sun Yaoyue left the restaurant drunkenly, got into the carriage parked outside the restaurant, and climbed into the carriage with the support of his followers.

He was really planning to take a nap, when he saw a slender orange cat squatting on a bed covered with tiger skin, with amber pupils, looking at him faintly.

There was no movement, the carriage continued to move forward, the window suddenly opened, and the orange cat jumped out, with its tail upright, the kitten walked very fast, and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Ministry of Punishment.

Sun Shangshu summoned officials and asked, "Go to the prison and ask, has Xu Xinian confessed?"

The official took the order to retreat, and a few minutes later, he returned and replied: "Master Shangshu, Xu Xinian's bones are very hard, no matter how much he beats him, he will not confess."

"That's not enough beating," Sun Shangshu snorted coldly, and said: "The Ministry of Punishment has a lot of torture, let him taste it one by one, and the stone will make it bloom, um, just keep your breath."

"Yes."

The official stepped back, and as soon as he left, a man rushed in panicked on his back, dressed as a rich man with gray hair, and stumbled when he crossed the threshold.

"What are you doing in the Yamen?" Sun Shangshu asked with a frown.

This person is the housekeeper of the Sun House, an old slave who has been with Sun Shangshu for decades.

"Master, something is wrong." The old housekeeper said in a trembling voice with a mournful face, "Master, he's gone."

"What do you mean the young master is missing?"

Sun Shangshu's face changed slightly, he got up and walked over, staring at the old butler, and repeated in a deep voice: "What do you mean the young master is missing!!"

"The servants who went out with the young master returned to the mansion not long ago to report that today the young master had a banquet for his classmates in a restaurant. After having a drink, he got into the carriage and then disappeared. When the carriage returned to the mansion, he found that there was no one in the carriage."

The old butler scratched his ears and cheeks, anxiously and dazedly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty said, Xu, maybe the master has offended someone recently?"

There is a set of unspoken rules in the officialdom of Dafeng. Political struggles will return to political struggles, and family members will never be harmed.It's not about how high the moral bottom line is, but that if you are in the first grade of junior high school, others can also be in the fifteenth grade.

It will also be regarded as ignorant of the rules and rejected by the entire class.

This unspoken rule is very authoritative, and even the imperial court agrees with it, and the reason why it is not explicitly stipulated is because it cannot be put on the table.

But there is a system in Dafeng. Once any official enters Beijing as an official, his parents, wives and children must enter Beijing together.

What is the point of this system?

A system paves the way for a hidden rule, which shows how authoritative the hidden rule is.

Who offended Sun Shangshu muttered to himself, Xu Qi'an, a bitch, naturally appeared in his mind.

"madness!"

Sun Shangshu yelled loudly, bearded and haired, furious, and roared: "You think you can make this official submit by kidnapping my son? You little yellow-haired boy, destroy the Great Wall yourself.

"If my son makes any mistake, you will have no place in the entire capital. No, your whole family will die."

After roaring, he swept all the folders on the table to the ground, the teacup was smashed to pieces with a "bang", and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were scattered all over the floor.

The old housekeeper kept silent, and he didn't dare to show his air. The master has been an official for many years, and he has already cultivated a city mansion that will not be surprised by favor or humiliation.

Such an exasperated appearance happened twice, the first time was because of that extremely humiliating poem, and both times were because of this yellow-haired boy named Xu Qi'an.

Sun Shangshu suddenly lifted the hem of his official robe, and ran out of the room with a vigorous figure that did not match his age.

"Master, if you have any orders, just let the old slave do it."

The old butler chased him out and said loudly.

Sun Shangshu ignored it and roared: "Come here, come here, go to the prison quickly, no punishment, no punishment!"

The sky above the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment echoed Sun Shangshu's "no punishment" (broken sound).
