After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 22: Cheating in the imperial examination, the incident came to light
"I like that painting so much." The second lady thought it was that painting.
"I like it." Mu Chaochao said smoothly.
"Girl, you are so easily satisfied."
"Miss Mu, my Royal Highness asked me to bring you tea." Tianshu came over with a baggage.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, and thank you Tianshu."
Mu Chaochao took it and opened it. Inside the bag were two boxes of tea leaves, several bags of tea tree seeds, the varieties were thoughtfully marked on the paper, and a "Tea Classic".
"Haozhou Maojian, Southern Yunnan Silver Needle, Qishan Yunwu, black tea, West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, these are all top-grade teas. My dear granddaughter, can you still grow these?" Mr. Mu was surprised. Mu Che mentioned " "Treasure Bag" thing, I just didn't know it had this function.
"Okay, when I plant it, grandpa and we will have tea to drink." Mu Chaochao smiled at him and said, "I will make you a different afternoon tea later."
"Okay, grandpa is waiting for your tea."
"Little miss, I'm here to help you cook too." Tianshu's eyes lit up when he mentioned eating.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room to study the Book of Tea first."
After returning to the room, I went directly into the space and picked up the "Tea Sutra" to read. Although the spiritual power awakened in the previous life did not follow this body, it is still pretty good now, at least I can have a photographic memory.
I finished reading it in a while, closed the book, and started to grow tea. This time I had the luxury of watering it with spiritual spring water, and then I took some milk and left the space.
After noon, Mu Chaochao cooked a large pot of milk tea.
"It smells so good, the smell of milk is so strong." Tianshu was drooling. Who would have thought that His Majesty Seventh Prince's subordinate was a foodie. The last time he wore women's clothing, he still fell in love with her delicious food.
"Sister Luwu, you get some for Grandpa and the others to try, and I'll take some to His Highness the Seventh Prince." Mu Chaochao left after giving instructions.
The door was not closed, so Mu Chaochao knocked on the door and entered Ye Huaichen's room. He was reading a book in his hand.
"Sister Chaochao, is your milk tea ready?"
"Brother Chen, your nose is so sharp, come and have a try." Mu Chaochao looked at him expectantly.
"The thick milk has the fragrance of tea leaves, sweet but not greasy. Sister Chaochao is a good craftsman." Ye Huaichen nodded lightly.
"It's a pity that there is no ice. When conditions permit, it will be more delicious if we add some other berries and nuts." Mu Chaochao smacked his lips.
"Greedy cat!" Ye Huaichen looked doting on his face.
Tianquan came over with a long box in his hand and reported: "The people sent by His Highness to the capital are back, and as expected, the assassin was caught in Magistrate Gao's prison last night, and Magistrate Gao has confessed. There is also a surveillance office. The secret guards intercepted the letter from Magistrate Xie Fei Ge."
"Very good, it's time to close the net."
The sound of drum beating outside the county government office broke the dullness of the hot summer, and people gathered around the gate of the county government office.
"Ascend to the hall." Sun Chengji, dressed in official uniform, sat upright in front of the case and patted the gavel.
"Might... Wu..." the yamen servants on both sides sang and sang outside the court.
"Who is playing drums in the hall? Come in?" Sun Chengji patted the gavel.
"Caomin Xu Xiuwen pays homage to Master Sun." Xu Xiuwen knelt down in the hall.
"Xu Xiuwen, what are you suing for?"
"The common people sued Xie Jingming, the prefect of Yunzhou, for killing my whole family." Xu Xiuwen submitted the complaint.
"Captain Li, take someone to ask Magistrate Xie." Sun Chengji looked at the situation and said to the captor.
There was a sudden commotion outside the door.
"There have been quite a few complaints to the county government in the past two days."
"I thought it was the mysterious thief who was doing good things again." The news that Magistrate Gao and the richest man's house had been stolen silently had spread. Some wealthy businessmen were afraid of being stolen and sent men to guard outside the warehouse.
"The prefect, who usually looks like a good person, actually killed his whole family. He really knows people but not their hearts."
"I think it's a false accusation! The prefect looks like a good person."
"How can good guys and bad guys be written on their faces?"
Half an hour later, Magistrate Xie was brought to the court.
"Come here, bring your seat," Sun Chengji then said to Magistrate Xie: "Master Magistrate, please come here. This scholar is suing you for killing his whole family."
"I am not afraid of slanting shadows. I don't know this scholar." Magistrate Xie glanced sideways at Xu Xiuwen.
"You are so upright that you are not afraid of slanting shadows." Ye Huaichen came in from the yamen door.
"I pay homage to His Highness the Seventh Prince."
"Excuse me. Your Highness heard that someone was suing Magistrate Xie for committing murder, so I came to join in the fun." Ye Huaichen walked aside and sat down. Tianshu Tianquan stood on both sides.
"Xu Xiuwen, please bring up the case information." Sun Chengji returned to the position of presiding judge.
"Yes, the ancestors of Cao Min and Magistrate Xie are in Xuzhou. The Xu family has been a scholar for generations, and the Xie family has been a merchant for generations. Later, the Xu family fell into decline.
Xu Jintang, the grassroots father, was very talented and supported his family by writing articles for people, including Magistrate Xie. Seventeen years ago, Magistrate Xie took a book about people's livelihood and discussed the emperor, and paid a high price for my father to write an article. A month later, Xie Zhifu High School ranked first.
Later, my father learned about the contents of the test paper from a classmate who went to Beijing to take the exam, and he learned that the article he had written earlier was an imperial examination question.
After Xie Zhifu was in high school, he killed Cao Min's family for fear that things would be ruined, and then set fire to destroy the bodies and destroy all traces. Cao Min escaped the disaster at home because he was young and playful. "Xu Xiuwen's voice trembled a little when he said this.
"Xiang Miao, the imperial examination questions back then were set by the current emperor himself, how could I know the questions?" Magistrate Xie shouted coldly.
"Because your Xie family has a lot of money, and money can make people go around, so the Xie family bribed the examiner to leak the questions."
"Huangkou boy is talking nonsense. Do you have evidence to prove that I falsified the imperial examination? Do you have evidence to prove that the murder of the Xu family was committed by me?" Magistrate Xie said disdainfully. He was able to get to where he is today because of the officialdom. The evidence has been there for a long time. Just erase it, there is no news from the factions in the capital, and what happened back then will never be exposed easily.
"My father has a habit of collecting any articles he likes, including those written by Magistrate Xie back then." Xu Xiuwen took out a small long box from his sleeve.
"Sir, this is an imperial examination article written by my father seventeen years ago. The article is dated and signed, and there is also a handwritten letter. Please check it." The Yamen servant took the letter from Xu Xiuwen's hand.
"My father is very thoughtful and has never had any grudges with anyone. After learning about the examination questions, he was afraid that the Xie family would not allow me to marry him, so he wrote a letter and gave it to his loyal servant. It can be used as evidence of guilt if he is not forgiven in the future."
"It is indeed a good article." Sun Chengji asked the Yamen servant to read it to His Highness the Seventh Prince.
Ye Huaichen read it and handed it to Tian Quan, "Master Sun, His Highness received a secret report from the capital, involving the imperial examination fraud case seventeen years ago. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The imperial examination papers seventeen years ago are here. Lord Sun, can you Compare it in class." Tianquan handed over the test paper from the capital.
"Master Xie, the contents of the two test papers are exactly the same. What do you have to say?" Sun Chengji asked the two government officials to spread the test papers and face the people at the door.
"I have been an official for many years. I have made countless enemies because of my political disagreements in the same dynasty. I am afraid that some young people may frame me behind my back."
"Prefect Xie may not know that Li Hongchang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was found to have bought and sold his official position, and the amount of bribes was huge. Among them, your Xie family has the largest number. Li Hongchang has confessed to the Xie family, and the emperor ordered yesterday that he would be imprisoned." Tian Quan said. Matters in Beijing.
