The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 731 Public Trial Perfect Counterattack (4)

This time, as usual, no one paid attention to these students' requests. Just when they thought there would be no results, a **** appeared in front of everyone holding an imperial decree.

With a high-pitched "imperial edict arrived", thousands of students knelt down to listen to the edict. Even if the cold and hard floor tiles made them extremely uncomfortable, they could not offset the heat in their hearts.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... The case of fraud in the examination room is a serious matter. I will hold a public trial at the Taihe Hall at 3:00 today. All Zhili students can enter the hall to observe, so as to set the record straight. I admire this - "

As the last word of the imperial edict fell, the students who had been suffering at the gate of the palace for many days were all happy and grateful to Emperor Hui'an. They bluntly said that this emperor is a wise king, and the great Chu will be prosperous for all generations.

The father-in-law who announced the decree listened to the words of praise for Emperor Hui'an. He turned around with a smile and stepped into the palace gate. He sorted out these words and told them to Eunuch Liang. Eunuch Liang tactfully addressed the guests who were having breakfast after the morning court. He brought it up in front of Emperor Hui'an.

Emperor Hui'an just listened expressionlessly and didn't seem to care. However, Eunuch Liang carefully discovered that Emperor Hui'an used two more xiaolongbao and a bowl of white jade red date porridge.

 The news that a case of fraud in the examination room was going to be tried in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at three o'clock in the morning was like a gust of wind, spreading throughout the capital in an instant, bringing the people's attention to the fraud case to its peak.

No one thought that Emperor Hui'an took the fraud case so seriously that he would hold a public trial in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and let hundreds of students enter the hall to listen. It seemed that he was going to take the matter seriously.

Many people among the people heard that the prince was Emperor Hui'an's favorite son. No one knew whether Emperor Hui'an was so cold-hearted about the prince's actions that he decided to conduct such a public trial, or whether he firmly believed that the prince was innocent and wanted to clear his name. Dirty water on the body.

 The public is right and the mother-in-law is right. Many people had a heated discussion about what Emperor Hui'an had in mind. Finally, a gambling house boldly set up a bet based on this.

It’s just that no one expected that this gambling game set up on the whim of the gambling house owner would be so popular, and almost people who had never stepped into the gambling house would also take out their money to participate. For a time, the gambling room was packed with people who poured in, and the popularity of gambling was unparalleled.

 Mo Yan, who first got the news from Xiao Ruiyuan and obtained the plaque for entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, entered the city at three o'clock. After hearing about this unprecedented gambling game, he took out five thousand taels of silver notes from the space and stepped into the gambling house. It was the largest single bet in this gambling game.

 Finally, the gambling house calculated the odds of this unprecedented gambling game based on the number of participants and the total amount of the gamble - six to one.

Thinking that after the results of the public trial came out, she would have 25,000 taels of silver in her account, and Mo Yan's originally depressed mood became better.

When Da Hongzao came to the palace gate and stopped, Mo Yan straightened her clothes and got out of the carriage. She saw a long queue at the palace gate, all of them students waiting to verify their identities and enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony to observe.

Since all the people in line were adult men, Mo Yan couldn't squeeze in the middle, and was worried that the delay would be too long and that he would not be able to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony before 3:30, so he had no choice but to shamelessly jump in line and walk directly in front of the gate guard.

They saw that it was a girl with a beautiful appearance and good temperament who jumped in line. Although the students photographed in front were curious and felt that it was impossible for this girl to go in and watch, they understood her embarrassment and did not accuse her of jumping in line.

However, when the guard at the gate verified the identity of Lord Mo Yan and let her in politely, the students looked at the slender figure in astonishment and could not recover for a long time.

No one expected that the figure who was at the forefront of the storm would appear in front of them like this. I thought that a peasant girl who turned into a phoenix and became a county prince was like a pheasant with phoenix feathers. Even if she looks like a noble phoenix, she is still a pheasant.

Unexpectedly, she was slapped hard in the face. Regardless of her birth and appearance, her elegant and noble temperament alone was enough to set her apart from those so-called noble ladies, enough to match the status of a county monarch.

 Can he raise such an outstanding daughter? As his daughter’s father, would he really be so shameless as to cheat in the examination room?

 The students who originally had great prejudices against Mo Yan and his daughter suddenly wondered if they were wrong.

Mo Yan, who was led by the **** to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, didn't know what the students outside were thinking. Even if he knew, he would only sigh and say that judging by face and temperament exists in any era.

 The Hall of Supreme Harmony is located in the outer court and is the largest palace in the imperial palace. The daily morning court is held here. The square in front of the temple is extremely spacious and can accommodate tens of thousands of people worshiping. The interior of the temple is more than 200 square feet, which is more than enough to accommodate a thousand people. (Note: A square foot is an ancient unit of area. One square foot is equivalent to 11 modern square meters, and two hundred square feet is equivalent to 2,200 square meters)

When Mo Yan was led into the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the young eunuch, there were already many people in the hall. Except for the civil and military officials who had just left the morning court, the others were all students ranging from twenty to forty who had gathered outside the palace gate for many days.

 The palace was full of men, and even the **** who led the way suddenly walked in. A woman with an extraordinary appearance and extraordinary temperament suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

The originally noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into silence. The young **** noticed the strange atmosphere and said in a medium voice: "Mr. Hejia, please follow me here."

He took Mo Yan to a place closer to the dragon chair, where there was a queue of civil servants, and all he saw were old men with white hair.

The rank of the county prince is not low, and he was awarded the title for his great achievements. Even some old men with pedantic ideas did not think that Mo Yanyijie, a woman, should not come to such a solemn place as the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

And this fraud case involves his father. Once he is convicted, the whole family will be implicated. Ordinary people are afraid to avoid it, so how can they dare to come up to it? Mo Yan coming here at this time made them feel that this woman was very courageous and filial.
