Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

Yunyu ordered the arrest, and the student was really arrested. The other students saw it, and they were afraid.

They are like newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and are bold.In fact, they are not too courageous. Seeing that someone was really caught, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and no one dared to say anything more.

"What are you doing!?"

"Let go of me! What king's law have I committed!"

"Why catch me!"

Yunxu sneered, and said, "Assassinating Elder Belle in the street, isn't that a crime?"

"I... I didn't assassinate!"

Yunxu said: "So many eyes have seen it, you intend to use this stone to assassinate elder brother Ben." As he spoke, he kicked the rolling stone on the ground.

How can this stone kill people?The scholar just wanted to hit the clouds and vent his anger.

The scholar said: "It's just a small pebble!"

Yunxu asked, "Can't a small stone kill someone? Slander and malice can kill someone, why not a stone?"

"You...you are making too much sense!" The scholar said, "With power and power, can you make so much sense!"

Yunyu smiled again, this time he was amused, and said: "You are really funny, you have power and power but don't make excuses. Are you so arrogant?"

"You...you..." The scholar's face turned blue and red, turning purple with anger.

Yinzhen whispered: "Eighth brother, don't make things big."

Yunxu knew this truth, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, fourth brother, I know it well."

He said, waved his hand, and said, "Take it away!"

The scholar struggled and shouted: "Help——Is there any law left! Help me! Help me! Brother Liu! Help me, Brother Li...and Brother Wang..."

Those scholars who had "shared the same hatred" with the scholar just stood aside, watching him being escorted away by the guards, but at this time no one dared to raise their heads, and all of them fell silent.

The scholar yelled all the way, and was escorted back to Babeile Mansion, the prince said: "What are you doing after arresting him? If you want me to tell you, just put him in the cell and ask the guards to give him a taste."

Yunyu said: "It is useful. There are many rumors about the Shuntian Prefecture Examination in the capital. There must be a root cause, right? Instead, you can try to ask, what is the root cause?"

The fourth master Yinzhen nodded, there is indeed a reason for this, but any public opinion, especially such a large public opinion, must have fueled the flames, otherwise it would not be possible to spread so much and have such a far-reaching impact.

The uncle said: "I'm afraid that such poor scholars are unwilling to tell us more, they are arrogant."

Indeed, some scholars are really lofty, but there are also those who hate the rich and always look down on the rich, just like they think that the children of the rich must have bribed the examiner in high school.

Yunxu said: "I have my own method, such a hard bone, I would rather bend it than bend it, let him break it."

"let me out!!"

"Is there any king's law!"

"I want to sue Eight Baylor!"

"Let me out! Let me out! I want to sue!"

Yunyu came to the firewood room where the scholar was detained, kicked open the door, and walked in leisurely. The scholar was startled by the sound of "哐!" The door was kicked, and he stared and said: "You... let me go!" Get out! Let me out!"

Yunhu smiled and said, "It's not impossible to let you go."

The scholar looked at Yunhu with suspicion.

Yunxu said: "Let me ask you, who publicized the corruption and fraud in the Shuntianfu Township Examination? Is there no one to publicize such a big disturbance?"

The scholar raised his chin and said, "Why, do you want to drive us poor students to extinction?"

Yunxu smiled and said: "It's not possible to kill them all, but if you don't say... I can try to kill you alone."

"I...I..." The scholar's face turned pale in an instant, and he stammered, thinking he wasn't really tough.

Yunxuan nodded, and said in a dignified manner: "Did you know that Ba Ye's favorite thing is to study food. This food is not only about the ingredients, but also about the heat. People who don't know food may think that firewood is firewood. It’s not very useful, but I don’t think so. You can just say this roast duck. The roast duck made from fruit wood is the best. It has a fragrant smell. It’s not good to use other wood as firewood. eat."

The scholar didn't know why Yunxi suddenly talked about eating and drinking, he was at a loss, he just thought that Yunxi said that the wind is rain, and the weather is uncertain.

Yunxu changed the subject, and finally got to the point, saying, "My lord has used a lot of firewood for cooking in his life, but only...he has never used human bones."

"Human bones?!" The scholar's voice suddenly rose.

Yunxu nodded with dignity and said: "Yes, it's human bones. Some people say that the dishes cooked from human bones are the best, and they have a kind of... human touch."

Hearing his words, the scholar shivered with fright. He shivered and stared, "You...what are you going to do?! There is no king's law!? You cook with human bones!"

Yunyu said tentatively: "Although your bones must be a little sour, it's okay, just use it, maybe you don't need to be jealous, if you don't want to say where the rumor of cheating in the rural examination came from , I will use your bones as firewood to cook delicious food, and you will die without regret.”

"I..." You scholar stuck his neck and said, "A gentleman would rather bend than bend! You kill me!"

Yunhu nodded: "Very good, such a hard bone, I don't know if it will be crunchy when it burns? I've heard people say that it is broken and cooked, it seems that this time, Ba Ye will also be elegant. Come on Man! Master suppressed him, this broken bone must be fresh, picked out just now, thrown into the burning fire, hiss...you can still hear a crisp sound."

"You...you..." Hearing his description, the scholar felt chills running down his back and trembling. Seeing the guards rushing over and pinning him down, he shouted pale in fright: "I say! I say! "

Yunxi raised her eyebrows and sighed, "What a hard bone!"

The scholar's face turned red and then blue, but he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and said tremblingly, "It's true...it's true that someone is spreading rumors of cheating in the rural examination, but...but it's the truth!"

Yun Hu said coldly: "Whatever you ask, you just answer. I asked you where the public opinion came from, and didn't ask you if it was true?"

The scholar said tremblingly: "Yes...it is a teahouse of poetry and prose."

Yunhu asked carefully, good guy, they have been to this teahouse before, isn't it the same Shiwen teahouse that the third master often goes to?At that time, Yunxi and Li Zhongqiao went there and saw the picture of "yellow dog fishing" in the teahouse.

Because the teahouse was quite famous, the scholars who came to Beijing for the exam, especially the poor ones, liked to have tea there and make friends with them.

The scholar said: "I... the first time I heard about cheating was in that teahouse, and I heard it from some literary friends."

At that time, the scholar also failed the rankings, and he was about to leave Beijing in resentment. He wanted to say goodbye to his literary friends, so he went to the teahouse. Who knew that he went to the teahouse and heard about the fraud.

The scholar was already feeling sad for failing the exam, but he heard the news of cheating.

——This time the top of the list turned out to be rich people.

——Lord Wang's son won the prize, that idiot?

——Why did Li Zhongtang’s grandson also go to high school?Isn't it said that he only knows doggerel?

——You don’t know, there are so many cheaters this time, that’s why the top of the list are all the children of Zhongtang and Grand Scholar!

When the scholar heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't have a high school, it turned out that it was because of cheating in the township examination.

The scholar said angrily: "It's all because of cheating!! People who cheat will die! The emperor set up the imperial examination to be eclectic. If it is only for the rich and noble, you can set up another one. What are we poor families? We have been studying hard for ten years just for the imperial examinations of this dynasty. If we are fighting for financial resources, why are we talking about imperial examinations!"

Yun Hu nodded, and said: "Don't talk about being poor or rich. The children of Zhongtang and Grand Scholars have been in high school, and they have been bribed with money. What about ordinary children? The No. 1 Yao Guan this time is not a child of an official family. .”

"Yao Guan?!" The scholar said angrily: "It is true that he is not a student of the Zhongtang Grand Master, but he and Li Pan and Jiang Chenying are from the same hometown! It is very common for fellow villagers to cheat! Besides, Yao Look at that appearance, hum, to put it bluntly, he must be a rabbit master, and he needs to use money to cheat, maybe he is a butt seller!"

Yunxu nodded again, and said, "I understand, no matter if you are poor or rich, as long as you are not in high school, there are always various reasons for cheating, right?"

The scholar choked on what he said.

Yunyu said again: "Which high school person didn't study hard for ten years?"

There are indeed many myths of child prodigies in history, but most talented people are actually late bloomers, such as Jiang Chenying. The deputy examiner Jiang Chenying is now in her seventies. , is definitely old, Jiang Chenying has not only studied hard for ten years, 20 years, 30 years are not too much.

Yun Hu said: "Ten years of cold windows, I read the books of sages and sages. Although you read the books of sages and sages, you just ignored them and grew evil thoughts in your heart. How can such a person go to high school? After all, he is just a self-deceiving person. Poor thing."

The scholar stood still and wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Yunxu left the firewood room and was going to take a walk in this teahouse.

The cheating incident this time was caused by rumors and public opinion. Although the re-examination can indeed quell the anger of the public, if the public opinion behind it is not eradicated, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

Yunhu intends to find out the source of public opinion behind it, so that this matter can be successfully calmed down.

Yunxu said to everyone: "Today I was going to accompany my brothers to have dinner, but unfortunately, I have to go to the teahouse."

The prince said: "Hey, what's the matter? You are not injured."

The fourth master Yinzhen frowned and said: "The matter of you taking in Yao Guan now, I'm afraid it will spread like wildfire. I don't worry about you going to the teahouse alone. I'd better go with you for my brother's sake."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he regretted it immediately, yes, the problem of favorability is not because he wants to rush to get things done, but to finish this task quickly and get the favorability adjustment widget.

Yunxi and Yinzhen went to the teahouse, and the teahouse was full of people, much more crowded than when Yunxi and Li Zhongqiao came last time.

There were heated discussions inside, and some people were telling stories about Kong Shangren's Legend of Tongtianbang.

"Brother Kong, what a talent! What a talent!"

"No one knows about the cheating in the township examination. Once Brother Kong reached the top of the list, it can be said to shake the government and the public!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to Brother Kong, there are people who stand up for students like us who study hard!"

Kong Shangren?

Yunyu walked in, and sure enough, he saw many people surrounded by a middle-aged man, who clasped his fists and said, "Don't dare, it's all my job. We students can't do it." There is a debt of grace, the imperial examination is to select talents, not stick to one pattern, and I hate cheating the most in my life!"

While they were talking, someone saw Yunxuan, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Kong Shangren also seemed to have noticed the clue, turned his head to look, and met Yunxu's eyes.

"Isn't this the Eighth Master?"

"Yes, the one who came with the third master last time."

"I thought Ba Ye was a good person, but I didn't expect him to protect Yao Guan."

"What? The No.1 Yao Guan?"

"It's him. No wonder Yao Guan is able to go to high school. Dare Lover's family is not only a fellow from the same town as the examiner, but also a person under the care of the eighth master. Can he not go to high school? It's hard not to go to high school!"

Kong Shangren raised his brows gruffly, and immediately stepped forward without paying any respects, and said, "How did Ba Ye find this place?"

Yunxu didn't mind, and said: "Walk around casually, and smell a sour smell, so I will naturally look for it."

Kong Shangren said: "I hate injustice the most in my life. If I see Ba ​​Ye today, then I will speak clearly to Ba Ye. Yao Guan bribed the examiner, embezzled and cheated. It is a heinous crime. It is the greatest shame for scholars. Ba Ye If Fan Fan still has a shred of conscience, he should kick Yao Guan out of the Eighth Master's Mansion, make him reviled by thousands of people, and let him fend for himself!"

Yunxu asked strangely: "Why did you kick Yao Guan out?"

"Of course it's because of corruption and fraud!" Kong Shangren said angrily, "Did the eighth master not listen to the officials?"

"Where is Yao Guan's corruption and where is he cheating?" Yun Hu asked, "Do you have evidence?"

"Yao Guan bribed the fellow examiner for three thousand silver taels," Kong Shangren said, "Isn't this evidence?"

Yun Hu said: "I remember, the result of the first trial was very clear. Yao Guan's bribery of the chief examiner was a rumor spread by false rumors, and there was no conclusive evidence of three thousand silver."

"It must be because they were afraid of being found out and bribed the investigating officials!" Someone shouted.

Yunxu smiled and said: "It's a matter of daring. I want evidence. The evidence is in front of you, and you say it's false? So if you think it's true, it's true. If you think it's false, it's not true. Right?"

Kong Shangyi was at a loss for words for a while, and Yunxuan said, "If you think the evidence is false, find out the real one."

Kong Shangren said: "We are neither censors nor inspectors. How can we find out the clues?"

Yunxuan said: "Okay! If you can't find out, the eighth master will check it out for you today."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Yunxi meant.

Yunxu beckoned, "Boom!" The guards immediately closed the door of the teahouse, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Why does this posture seem to be... close the door and beat the dog?

Yunxu smiled, and the doors and windows were closed in the room, and the whole teahouse looked a little dark. Yunxu's smile was gentle to the bone, but it became more and more cold.

Yun Hu said: "Today I will investigate the people who spread rumors. Who is the first person who reported cheating in the rural examination. If you don't tell, no one will be able to leave."

"Baye, what are you doing?!" Kong Shangren said indignantly, "There are people who are corrupt and cheating. If Baye doesn't arrest such people, why do you have to embarrass these students?"

Yun Hu said: "Integrity is a good thing, but Master Kong, sometimes integrity will be used as a weapon. In the end, not only will you hurt others, but you will also be implicated."

In history, Kong Shangren had a smooth official career, but was suddenly reprimanded and dismissed by Kangxi. Although he didn't say it clearly, Yunhu felt that it was inseparable from the fraud case in Shuntian Mansion this time.

After all, the trial case in Shuntianfu Township was full of uproar, and Yao Guan was innocent in the end, so the Tongtian Bangbang was a counterproductive act of incitement and incitement. Can Kong Shangren have good fruit to eat?

Yunxu walked over, found a chair and sat down leisurely, even crossed his legs, and said: "I have already inquired, and the news of cheating in the Shuntianfu Township Examination came from this teahouse. I have to investigate and deal with who is the source, if no one admits it, no one will leave."

The students looked at each other, Kong Shangren was irritated by Yunxuan's "arrogance", and just about to refute Yunxuan, Yunxuan waved his hand, a guard had already stepped forward, covered Kong Shangren's mouth, and dragged him aside.

Yun Hu smiled and said: "Kong Shangren is only a small official. You want him to support you. It's too simple to think. Today, the eighth master just put his words here. If you don't find out the people who create public opinion, you …same guilt.”

The teahouse is the place where public opinion rises and spreads. Many people, like Kong Shangren, were angered by public opinion. Although this matter has nothing to do with them, they are all for the sake of the students, so there is a lot of uproar.

Yunhu said: "The middle hall bribed the chief examiner, and the university scholar bribed the chief examiner, 3000 taels to 1 taels. They look good. Who spread the word, don't say you don't know."

The scholars gathered together to bolster each other's courage. Now that they saw that the momentum was wrong, they all shut their mouths.

"Don't say it?" Yunyu smiled: "It's easy not to say it, have you seen that my fourth brother is famous for being cold-hearted in the capital, and his methods are not as gentle as Ba Ye, I am. Who wants to be taught and taught?"

Fourth Master: "..."

The scholars were so frightened that they lost their minds and retreated one after another.

Yunhu looked around, found the most cowardly one, patted her robe, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Forgive me! Forgive me!" The scholar was really cowardly, knelt on the ground with a groan, kowtowed and said, "Baye, I don't know anything, I just... just drink tea here, drink tea! Really! Nothing was passed on, I, I..."

Yunxu smiled kindly, helped him up personally, was like giving a red date to a stick, and said softly: "I didn't say you have any crimes? I just asked you, do you know who spread the news? public opinion?"

The scholar kept sifting through the chaff, and it was clear that Ba Ye's voice was gentle and friendly, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"I... let me say, it's a scholar named Wang. I don't know him well. The first time I heard about the fraud, I heard him say it. At that time... I also saw him handing out leaflets, which said I just read about the three thousand taels of silver cheated by Zhongtang, etc., I just watched it, I have no rumors!"

Yun Hu nodded: "A scholar surnamed Wang? Is he here today?"

"No, he didn't come." The scholar shook his head and said, "He didn't come, but I know that his family lives at the end of this street, and that house is the most dilapidated one."

The scholar was terrified, he knew everything he wanted to say, and told him everything, so as to save Yunxu from asking more questions.

Yunxu smiled and said, "It's very good, wouldn't it be over if this happened earlier?"

It's easy to find the source, go and arrest that scholar named Wang and ask him, the truth will be revealed.

Yunxu was about to leave the teahouse, and before leaving, she said, "Take Master Kong with you, and ask Master Kong to see for himself the truth of the Tongtian List."

Kong Shangren was escorted by them, and he also left the teahouse, and the group walked towards the end of the street corner.

This place is not a place where rich people gather, but a place where ordinary people live, and it is also the poorest place in the entire Beijing city.

There are many dilapidated houses on the corner of the street. It is a large courtyard, and many small houses have been dismantled. Many people live together, and one of them is particularly dilapidated.

When Yunhu walked to the door, the door was neither locked nor closed. The door was half open, and there was no one inside. It seemed that the scholar surnamed Wang was not at home.

slam-la-

The winter wind blew the pages of the book, making a crisp sound.

Yun Xuan took a closer look, it was very good, it was a leaflet.

Due to the strong wind, there were many leaflets scattered on the ground, which clearly stated that a certain middle hall bribed 3000 taels, that a certain university scholar would eat and drink, that a certain governor asked someone to replace his son for the exam, and so on. Looks good.

Yunhu nodded: "It seems that this is the place."

Gada!

Fourth Master Yinzhen heard a soft sound, frowned and said, "There is someone."

As he said, he turned his head and glanced outside the door, just in time to see a person poking his head. After being discovered, he immediately wanted to run away.

Yinzhen reacted quickly, and scolded: "Take it!"

"Yes!"

The guards rushed forward and grabbed the man who wanted to escape. It was a middle-aged man, dressed in rags, looking very down and out. After being caught by them, his face was pale and he kept sifting through the chaff.

Kong Shangren seemed to recognize him, and said, "Brother Wang!"

Yunxu smiled: "So you are Wang Scholar."

Wang Shusheng was trembling with joy: "You... who are you? Master Kong is an official of the imperial court, how dare you arrest the official of the imperial court!"

Yun Hu said: "You can't even see through this? Master Kong is an official of the imperial court. If we dare to disrespect Lord Kong, it must be an official of the imperial court who is older than him?"

When Wang Shusheng heard this, his face became even paler, as if he had done something wrong.

Yunhu said: "Let me ask you, did you write these leaflets?"

"No, that's right!" Wang Shusheng said.

Yunyu said again: "These 3000 taels, 1 taels, please eat and drink, and the Qing Dynasty pens, did you see them all with your own eyes?"

"No, that's right!" Wang Shusheng said again.

"Oh? Then you have quite a lot of eyes." Yunxi laughed and said, "How do you know that Wang Zhongtang bribed the chief examiner Li Pan with a banquet in Qingfeng Tower? And how do you know that the governor Nian Gengyao gave it to the deputy examiner Jiang Chen?" 1000 taels of fine wine in a jar of Ying? You saw it with your own eyes?"

"I... I saw it by accident, can't I? If you want others to not know, unless you do nothing!"

"Okay, of course." Yun Hu changed the subject and said, "However, if these are false accusations, you and your family's heads are enough to fall off ten times!"

Wang Shusheng obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Kong Shangren said indignantly: "Baye! Are you going to torture him into a trick? The emperor has ordered the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jiangnan Dao censor to cooperate in the investigation. The two censors have not yet finalized the case. Why is Baye so anxious?"

"Of course I'm anxious." Yun Hu turned to look at Wang Shusheng, and said quietly: "I'll ask you again, these are all true, if there is a false accusation, the heads of you and your family will definitely fall to the ground, when the time comes But it’s not a sound.”

Kong Shangren said: "Brother Wang! You don't have to be afraid. Although I am soft-spoken, I will never let it go. You..."

When he finished speaking, he heard a thud, Wang Shusheng knelt down on the ground without waiting for him to finish speaking, bent his knees, and kowtowed.

"Forgive me! Forgive me!" Wang Shusheng shouted, "It's all... I made it up! I... I just wrote it casually, I didn't... I didn't see any fraud."

Kong Shangyi was taken aback, and said: "Brother Wang, this is..."

Wang Shusheng yelled: "The villain is ignorant, the villain is ignorant! The villain is just...just out of breath, so I edited a few sentences casually, how would I know..."

Wang Shusheng is not young, and he is also a middle-aged scholar. He has passed the imperial examination several times, but all of them have passed, and this imperial examination is no exception.

When the list was released, Wang Shusheng saw that he had landed again, and the No.1 person in high school was someone he knew—Yao Guan.

Wang Shusheng and Yao Guan are from the same hometown. Yao Guan is a businessman, his family is rich, and he is smart.

Wang Shusheng was unconvinced, why are they from the same town, Yao Guan's family is rich, and he was able to go to high school, and he is not small in talent, he took the exam so many times, but he never got a high school, God treats people too unfairly.

Wang Shusheng said: "I drank too much wine that day, and the more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, so... I just wrote a random article or two."

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Wang Shusheng made up random things, picked up the names of several high school candidates this time, and began to scribble, in a decent way, and compiled the figures of bribes, so that it looked more real up.

Wang Shusheng was a frequent visitor to the teahouse, and the Jiewen he compiled was seen by other examinees who had landed in the teahouse, and for some reason, it spread.

Wang Shusheng regretted so much that he cried and exchanged tears: "It's none of my business! I just wrote such a copy. I didn't know that someone copied my exposition. At first it was circulated in teahouses, and then... later becomes..."

Full of wind and rain.

The teahouse was originally a place where scholars gathered. Naturally, there were more scholars who failed the ranking than high school students. Many people also thought they were talented, and there were indeed many wealthy people at the top of the list this time. The writing of the article makes sense, I didn't get it, but someone got it, it must be corruption and fraud, otherwise why didn't I have a high school?

More and more people spontaneously began to copy the Jiewen, because the Jiewen has a good appearance, so more and more people will believe it.

At first, it was only passed on among scholars and students, but later it was seen by more people, including Kong Shangren.

Kong Shangren is also a literati, so he naturally understands the difficulty of ten years of hardship. At that time, the rumors in the capital were already uproar, and Kong Shangren was ups and downs in the officialdom.

However, the chief examiners Li Pan and Jiang Chenying were too cunning, and they turned out to be innocent in the first trial.

When the results of the first trial came out, the examinees in the capital had already determined that the imperial examination was fraudulent, so they refused to accept the result, thinking that Li Pan and Jiang Chenying used their relationship to obliterate the evidence.

In addition, Wang Shusheng wrote about first-class high-ranking officials such as Zhongtang and University Scholars in the Jiewen, so the students have more reason to suspect that it was the examiner and these high-ranking officials who jointly obliterated the evidence.

The more he said that the examiner was innocent, the more indignation the students were filled with. Even Kong Shangren was so angry that he made the Tongtian list. He didn't ask for anything, he just wanted to fight for the injustice of these ten-year-old students and try to be fair and just.

Wang Shusheng said: "I didn't know it would be like this! I just... wrote a piece of exposition at random, and then I didn't write those, really I didn't write them!"

If there is one Wang Scholar, there will be a second Wang Scholar, and a third Wang Scholar.Wang Shusheng is not a person, but a kind of person.Some people spontaneously added follow-ups to Wang Shusheng's exposition, and the exposition became more and more full, even involving half of the imperial court. Can such a shocking fraud not deter the government and the public?

Kong Shangren was shocked, staring his eyes and said: "Brother Wang! You... what are you talking about? You don't have to be afraid of the powerful! The emperor has ordered the censor to investigate! Mr. Guo, the censor of Zuodu, and Mr. Lu, the censor of Jiangnan Road , they are all famously unselfish, Brother Wang, you don't have to..."

"I really really don't know!" Wang Shusheng interrupted Kong Shangren, saying: "I really just wrote the beginning, I don't know who wrote it later, I just wrote it casually, I was drunk at the time , I just wrote a bit casually, but I didn't expect the matter to be so big, please forgive me! Please spare the villain!"

Kong Shangren was completely intimidated, Yunyu glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Master Kong, this is your list to reach the sky."

"I..." Kong Shangren was speechless, his voice was dry and hoarse. He never thought that he was on the side of justice, but his justice turned into a kind of harm!

Yun Si looked at Wang Shusheng, who was exchanging tears, and said, "Why are you crying? Don't cry, the person who was framed by you casually should be wronged. Come here, let him write down all the testimony and draw it."

"Yes!"

Wang Shusheng didn't dare to be stubborn at all, and asked him to write whatever he wrote, and even pressed his fingerprints.

Yunyu ordered Wang Shusheng to be arrested and sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zuodu Censor Guo Xiu and Jiangnan Dao Censor Lu You are investigating the matter thoroughly, and it is most appropriate to hand over the witnesses to them.

Yunxi and Yinzhen came out of the simple and cramped house, and they didn't make things difficult for Kong Shangren, so they let him go.

Kong Shangren staggered, but before he came back to his senses, he stood alone in the ice and snow, like a statue.

Yunxi and Yinzhen walked back, and the fourth master said: "Although we have obtained the testimony now, this matter has been brewing in the capital for too long. Even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate issued a certificate, I am afraid that many students would not believe it."

Indeed, if there is no evidence, the students want evidence, and if they have evidence, the students will definitely say that the evidence is false. After all, they have wishful thinking that there must be fraud in this rural examination.

Yun Hu nodded and said: "My brother also thinks the same way. For the current plan, only by releasing the evidence together with the top list of the re-examination can it be convincing."

In the re-examination, Kangxi personally set the questions, the prince himself invigilated the exam, and in the end, Kangxi checked the papers and scored the top of the list. Such a procedure is absolutely impossible for fraudulent behavior. If after the re-examination, the top of the list is still the top, then it can prove that there is no such thing as the provincial examination. Questions, coupled with the testimony of Wang Shusheng, the truth can be revealed.

Yinzhen frowned, and Yunyu said strangely: "Fourth brother, do you have something on your mind? Now that you have obtained the testimony, you are waiting for the re-examination. It should be a good thing, but fourth brother seems to have something on your mind?"

"To tell you the truth," Fourth Master said, "I do have some concerns."

The fourth master Yinzhen's concern is Jiang Chenying, the deputy examiner.

Jiang Chenying is now old, in her seventies, and a proud master, and now she is thrown into prison and she doesn't know what to do.In her previous life, Jiang Chenying was thrown into prison, and Kangxi ordered her to be sent to the army. Jiang Chenying didn't wait to be sent to the army because she was out of breath, and committed suicide directly in the prison, which can be regarded as preserving her integrity.

Yinzhen was afraid that Jiang Chenying would commit suicide before the announcement of the ranking, and it would be too late by then.

Upon hearing this, Yunxu suddenly realized that the title of the mission was "Easy to die, but hard to be good". It is easy to choose death, but it is very difficult to choose kindness.

It was because Jiang Chenying would seek death?

This time it was changed to Yunhu who was slightly suspicious, and said, "Why does the fourth brother think that Mr. Jiang will commit suicide?"

why?Naturally, it was because Yinzhen had experienced it once.

But Yinzhen couldn't say this out, so he made an excuse casually, and said, "To tell the truth, my brother, it was actually the system task that told me, and I took a task for my brother."

Fourth Master wittily kicked the pot to the system space, saying that the system space told him that Jiang Chenying would commit suicide in prison.

Fourth master thought in his heart, he can't speak in the left and right spaces, so he can't expose me, right?

How did he know...

Ding!

The little mind-reading emoji on Yinzhen's head appeared, and the three big characters were shining brightly - I lied!

Yunxu raised her eyebrows, the fourth brother deserved to be the fourth brother, with such a proud little lying expression, straightened his back, and looked confident.

Yun Hu didn't expose him either, and said, "That's how it is."

Counting the time, Jiang Chenying failed to wait for the retest, and was already in prison. Yinzhen was afraid that what they did was in vain. If Jiang Chenying died, this mission would inevitably fail.

Even if the mission does not fail, the court will lose such a key veteran as Jiang Chenying, which is a great tragedy after all.

Yunxu stroked her chin and said, "It's not difficult to arouse Mr. Jiang's hope of living."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows.

Yunxi said: "The desire to live and the impulse to die are both instincts of human nature. In the bones of a person, there is a struggle against death."

The desire to survive and the desire to die are relative. Now that Jiang Chenying is facing a difficult situation and she is getting older, it is inevitable that the desire to die is greater than the desire to survive, so she must find ways to stimulate Jiang Chenying's desire to survive and let him pass this hurdle. On the day of the announcement, when the truth is revealed.

Yunxu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you go to the prison and wait first, brother will be there in a while."

Yinzhen didn't know what Yunxi was going to do, but he didn't ask when the words came to his mouth, that's all, let Lao Ba do it, what he did always had his own reason.

The fourth master has already broken the jar. After all, after this task is completed and he gets the favorability adjustment widget, he can bid farewell to the life of his younger brother. By then, he should never experience this helpless and unconditional trust. Do you feel it?

Yinzhen went to the prison, and waited for a while, which was not short, seeing that it was getting dark, Yunxuan came late.

Fourth master didn't see Yunxi at first, he first smelled a scent, and knew that it was Lao Ba who came.

It's not the aroma of incense, but the smell of food, which floats along the cold winter wind, warm and humane.

The fragrance was faint, as if there was nothing there. Yinzhen was a little hungry after a busy day, smelling the fragrance, his stomach almost growled in protest.

Yunxu came over, holding a Shihe in his hand, and said, "Fourth brother has been waiting for a long time."

Yinzhen seemed to be casual, and said completely indifferently: "What's in Shihe?"

Yunxuan smiled, although the cheap fourth brother didn't seem to care, but there was a little drooling expression on the top of his head, the Q version of the little fourth master, biting his fleshy fingers, with good words written all over his face. want to eat!

Yunhu said, "Roast goose rice."

As he said, he opened a corner of the food, and the fragrant smell was no longer indistinct, but directly hit his face, the fragrance was absolutely gone.

There is only one bowl of roast goose rice in Shihe, which is very simple. There is white rice in the big bowl, poured with amber sauce, and roast goose cut into sections, with red skin
