Wang Zhenwen is a Bachelor of wenyuange, so wenyuange should become the office of the bachelor and other officials.
In the hall, Wang Zhenwen, dressed in Fei robes and gray hair, was at the desk, while the rest of the civil servants and officials were busy with their own affairs, and occasionally had whispered discussions, but they were generally quiet and harmonious.
In case of disagreement, civil servants will go to the side hall to have a big fight and decide the outcome. However, when scholars quarrel, usually no one can persuade them.
Finally, it's up to the higher authorities to make a ruling.
"Mr. Shoufu, Miss simu is here. She wants to see you." An official on duty outside the door came in with a low voice.
Wang Shoufu's writing style suddenly turned ink into ink.
How did she get into the palace... What did she do in the cabinet... Two doubts came to Wang Shoufu's mind one after another.
Wenyuan Pavilion is on the east side of the palace, but it is not in the high wall of the palace. However, in the planning, it belongs to the palace. It is heavily guarded outside, and no one can get in.
The capital of Shoufu is also in the "miscellaneous people".
"No... let her in, through the back door. I'll wait for her in the side hall." Wang Shoufu put down his pen, with one hand on his back and the other on his abdomen, calmly left the inner hall and turned to the side hall.
After waiting for a few minutes in the side hall, Wang simu, a quiet and generous man, came in with a food box and gently put it on the table. He cried sweetly, "Dad!"
Wang Shoufu said with a straight face, "well," and said, "you've been to the lake with your best friend. What are you doing in the cabinet? Who's going to take you to the palace?"
With a smile, Wang simu opened the food box and held out a bowl of delicious fish soup in a gentle voice:
"when she was swimming in the lake, her daughter saw that the carp in the lake was fat, so she asked someone to catch some. Taking advantage of its freshest time, he brought it back to the government and cooked fish soup for his father.
"Dad is busy with his official business. He should also pay attention to his health and drink more nourishing soup."
Wang Shoufu's face turned a little softer, smelling the delicious smell that made people move their fingers. After taking a sip, he immediately showed a look of enjoyment and praised: "fish soup mixed with chicken essence is really delicious in the world. It is the blessing of the common people that Si Tianjian developed it. "
After the chicken essence developed by Si Tianjian entered the market, it was immediately sought after by all walks of life. Nowadays, the rich and influential officials in the capital, as well as businessmen, can't live without chicken essence.
In ordinary people's families, they sometimes sprinkle some in the dishes to improve the taste.
Wang Zhenwen has not seen Si Tianjian develop such a good thing for many years.
Wang simu said: "I've heard a piece of gossip before that the chicken essence is not developed by Si Tianjian. It's someone else. "
Wang Zhenwen a Leng: "another person?"
Wang simu said with a smile, "Your Highness Lin'an said that the real developer of chicken essence is Xu Qian, a silver Gong, and the Si Tian Jian is just an improvement."
Wang Zhenwen didn't pay attention to such trifles. She was stunned by what her daughter said and didn't drink for a long time.
"This son is extremely intelligent and brilliant..." Wang Zhenwen sighed, shook his head and continued to drink fish soup.
Wang simu continued to chat, "originally, I wanted Yulin Wei to deliver the fish soup for you. Unexpectedly, when I met his highness Lin'an on the way, I followed her to the palace."
So far, Wang Zhenwen's two questions have been answered.
Wang simu didn't wait for Wang Zhenwen to finish the fish soup, so he got up and said goodbye: "Dad, please drink slowly. When it's over, remember to bring the bowl back. Women are not allowed to enter Wenyuan Pavilion, so there are not many daughters left. "
The last question, which I have answered, is to bring fish soup to my old father.
Wang Zhenwen then showed a smile, mild tone: "go back, mu'er's filial piety, dad knows."
Dad, an old fox, is too hard to deal with. It's really tiring to play with him...... Wang simu was relieved and turned to leave pianting hall with a smile. But she didn't really leave Wenyuan Pavilion and waved to the waiting maid.
The servant girl came quickly with another food box, and then the master and servant went to another bachelor's office.
......
in the other side room, Wang simu put his food box on the table, held out the delicious fish soup, and said with a smile, "Uncle Qian, when I was swimming in the lake today, I saw that the fish in the lake were very fat, so I had someone catch a few and cook fish soup for you and your father."
Qian Qingshu is a tall and thin old man. Unlike Wang Zhenwen, who is dignified and steady, he has a more gentle temperament, which makes people feel that he is an excellent elder to get along with.
Qian Qingshu and Wang Zhenwen are classmates and friends, and they are also Jinshi of the same class. Speaking of achievements, Qian Qingshu was a first-class scholar in those years. Wang Zhenwen was the second best. Later, he was elected to the Imperial Academy and became a good scholar.
"If you ask for wood, you can't eat wood; if you ask for fish, you can eat grain..... It's delicious since ancient times." Qian Qingshu tasted a mouthful, eyes slightly bright: "well, good to drink."
When the official business is busy, can rest to drink a bowl of fish soup, enjoy!
"My niece recently heard that Xu Huiyuan of Chunwei was jailed for cheating in the imperial examination?" Wang simu pretended to be curious.Qian Qingshu nodded slowly with a pause on his face: "the new censor of the left impeached Zhao Tingfang, the Bachelor of Dongge, for accepting bribes and giving the title to Xu Xinnian.
"And Xu's new year's hard journey was not written by himself, but by his cousin Xu Qi'an."
Is Xu Huiyuan's poem written by Xu Qian? Wang simu's face changed slightly, and all kinds of ideas flashed by. She restrained her expression and asked:
"Uncle Qian, drink slowly, and tell your niece about it."
Qian Qingshu frowned, hesitated for a long time, and sighed: "it's really cannibalism... But you have to guarantee that nothing you hear here will be disclosed."
Wang simu quickly pecked his head: "this is nature, I am the most trustworthy."
......
Xu Fu.
Study, Xu Qian sitting behind the desk, thinking about the next step plan.
It's no big deal to get a secretary of the Ministry of punishment. It's only the first step of the plan to let Erlang get rid of the punishment. Next, he needs to find out the real enemy from the civil servants.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.
"Huaiqinggui is a princess, but she can only watch and can't interfere in the plans of the court officials. After all, she is a princess without real power, but she should have a hidden confidant....
"Duke Wei's attitude towards this matter is not very positive, but more to test my ability. If I can't deal with it, I will go to him for help. Although Duke Wei will certainly help me, he will be disappointed, which is inevitable.
"How can I get some inside information? Governor Zhang is a good candidate, but he is a man of Wei Yuan. He will be alerted by the Wen ministers of the hostile camp, and may not know too much.. "
when he thinks about it, his ear moves and he hears the sound of footsteps.
"Dong Dong..."
the footsteps stopped outside the door, knocked on the door, and then came the voice: "Dalao, there is a girl looking for you."
Girl, who is it?
Well, I have too many girls to guess..... Xu Qi'an replied, "please go to the inner hall. I'll come right away."
He continued his interrupted thought, thought for a few minutes, took the cup and moistened his throat, then got up and went out.
When I came to the inner hall, I saw a pretty servant girl in a lotus Ru dress standing in the hall. Xiaodouding circled around her and said: "elder sister, let's play. Let's play. I'll treat you to horseshoe cake."
The pretty maid forced her face to smile and didn't seem to be used to getting along with the children.
"Miss Lan'er?"
Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold. An hour ago, the maid had just come.
"Mr. Xu," Lan'er saluted, then took out the folded note from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Qian. She said in a low voice, "my lady asked me to send it. I'll leave you if I don't disturb you. "
Don't give Xu Qian the chance to stay and open the note, and leave in a hurry.
Xu Qi'an sat on the chair, unfolded the note, quickly glanced at it, and his face was stunned.
This... His expression gradually became serious, because the information on the note was so important that he almost wrote the inside story of this imperial examination cheating case clearly.
It was yuan Xiong, the new zuodou censor, who was impeached for "imperial examination fraud". After Wei Yuan took charge of the duchayuan, he had a fierce fight with the "remaining evils of castrating the party" led by the right censor.
It is reasonable to say that Liu Hong, the censor of Youdu, is also one of the examiners, which is the goal of Yuan Xiong. But in this case, Zhao Tingfang of Dongge University failed to answer the question.
The reason is that if yuan Xiong directly impeached Liu Hong, the imperial censor of Youdu, it was Wei Yuan who confronted him head-on. Even under the banner of cracking down on Yunlu academy, most of the parties just look on coldly, and the help they can give is limited.
After all, even if Xu Xinnian was allowed to take part in the palace examination and become an official in the court, all the court officials had the same way to suppress and hide.
So, the second driver behind the case appeared, Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war.
Qin Yuandao, the former Minister of the Ministry of war, was the first successor of the Minister of the Ministry of war.
However, Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty arranged a leader of a small party to take over as Minister of the Ministry of war.
When Qin Tingfang's cabinet was no longer in his power, he had no idea of upgrading.
For yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodou, Xu Xinnian was not only a student of Yunlu academy, but also a cousin of Xu Qi'an.
If Xu Qi'an doesn't want to ruin his cousin's reputation, he is bound to ask Wei Yuan to help him. As long as he drags Wei Yuan into the water, he can't solve the problem of Yu Shi Liu Hong.
In addition, the note provided by Wang simu also mentioned that song Shanchang, the Duke of Cao, also contributed to the fire.
"On the surface, it's yuan Xiong, the censor of the left capital, who joined hands with Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war. At most, they have their party members. In fact, regardless of Erlang's status as a student of Yunlu academy, just because he is my cousin, those who offended me in the Sangpo case, Pingyang Princess case and Yunzhou case will seize the opportunity to retaliate against me. Sun Shangshu is an example."In addition to the status of students in Yunlu academy, the situation is not good. In addition, what does Cao Guogong mean? It's understandable for civil servants to find fault. You're a vulgar martial arts man. Do you want to join in the fun? What's the motive?... "
and why should I believe Wang Zhenwen's daughter? Can I trust her information?
But what does she mean by lying to me? From the perspective of onlookers, Erlang is finished this time, so she should be stealing fun. There's no need to do anything extra. That servant girl also appears furtive, give a note to run, this is not guilty.
Either this young lady of the Wang family is a fool, or she thinks I'm a fool... According to the analysis of Erlang and Lingyue, this young lady is not stupid either. Shit, she thinks I'm a fool?
If I don't decide to go to Wei Yuan, well, I'll say that I've inquired about these things myself, and then I'll go to him for confirmation, which can make Wei Yuan look at me with new eyes. If I'm cheated, it won't get in the way, which shows that I'm cautious and don't trust others.
In the afternoon, Xu Qi'an, who came out of haoqilou, echoed Wei Yuan's words in his mind: the Duke of Cao state and the king of Zhenbei wore a pair of trousers.
At dusk yesterday, he received a "secret letter" from Wang simu. He thought for a long time on his own and felt that his credibility was very high, but he didn't believe it rashly.
After lunch today, I checked with Wei Yuan and got a positive reply.
The king of Zhenbei and I can't get to the same place. This should be Cao Guogong's own idea, but I'm not familiar with Cao Guogong. What does he do for me?
Vajra magic power... This idea flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind.
On the way back to Yidao hall, I met an official who happened to be looking for him and said, "Lord Xu, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who?" Xu Qian's eyes flashed slightly.
"People from huaiwang mansion." The clerk replied.
Huaiwang mansion... Xu Qi'an spits out a foul breath: "I know."
He immediately turned around and went to yamen gate. When he got to yamen gate, he saw a luxurious carriage parked by the side of the road. Two lines of strong armour guard the side of the carriage.
Seeing that Xu Qi'an came out, a guard immediately came and said, "but Xu Yinluo?"
Xu Qi'an nodded.
"General Chu is waiting for you in the car." Bodyguard way.
After pondering for a few seconds, he followed the bodyguard to the side of the carriage and heard the man's thick voice: "come in and talk."
The voice with a long stay in the upper voice, more like a command.
Xu Qian boarded the carriage and entered it.
In the spacious carriage, a bearded man was sitting. He was wearing a light purple robe, with a Chinese character face. His skin was swarthy, and his eyes were moving like electricity.
The bearded man made a gesture to ask Xu Qi'an to take a seat, and said in a thick voice:
"I heard that Xu Yinluo's cousin was involved in the imperial examination fraud."
Xu Qi'an stared at him and said tentatively, "the general is......"
the man with beard replied concisely: "Chu Xianglong, deputy general of Zhenbei king."
Xu Qi narrowed his eyes when he settled down and said, "shouldn't the general guard the north? How did he return to Beijing?"
"That's not what a silver Gong should ask." The bearded man said faintly.
He stopped for a moment and continued, "I'm looking for you, general. It's a deal."
"Go ahead, general."
"Hand over the cultivation method of Vajra's divine skill, and I will help you to get people out of prison." Chu Xianglong's eyes were burning at him.
Sure enough, it's for Vajra's miraculous skill. No martial arts man would not care about this body protecting miraculous skill. In the immortal body of Shenshu monk, there is Vajra's miraculous skill. Even a high-quality martial arts man is greedy for this skill..
so, Duke Cao and this man are planning my Vajra's miraculous skill to take advantage of the fire and grab benefits from me..
"Vajra of Buddhism is invincible If you don't wait for idle people to learn, you have to have a good chance. " Xu Qian reminds a way.
"You don't need to remind me that since you have learned the Vajra skill, you have realized the profound meaning of Vajra skill. It's our general's business to record the profound meaning of Vajra skill and whether you can achieve it or not." Chu Xianglong sent out a reassurance:
"as long as you record the secret arts, the general has his own way to get people."
You're not just trying to steal from me, you're also trying to play with my IQ? Xu Qian sneered in his heart and asked:
"dare to ask the general, how to get people?"
"I have my own way." Chu Xianglong answered calmly.
"This case involves a wide range and complexity. Those civil servants will not listen to you. General, don't think I'm a three-year-old. " Xu Qian's impolite sneer.
"I'm just talking about bailing out, not getting rid of him." Chu Xianglong's sharp eyes fixed on Xu Qi'an and said:
"he's just a small man. No one will really hang on to him. I'm sure that he will be given a lighter punishment. If he delays for three years at most, he will be able to participate in the imperial examination again."With the painstaking management of Yunlu Academy in Qingzhou, it would be the best place for him."
Xu Qian's eyes flashed and said, "good! But my request is to save people first. "
Chu Xianglong nodded: "yes."
At the end of the conversation, leaving the carriage, Xu Qi'an stood on the street without expression.
Up to now, he can confirm the real purpose of Cao Guogong.
"These dogs have been thinking about my Vajra skills for a long time. Before, I was on the rise and they were afraid. Now they are taking advantage of the imperial examination cheating case to suppress Erlang, so that I can obediently surrender my Vajra skills......
" OK, I'll see how I pit you. "
When the carriage disappeared in sight, he did not return to the watchman's Yamen and disappeared at the end of the long street.
...
after a day and a night of fermentation, dissemination, and the promotion of people, rumors of the imperial examination cheating case broke out the next day.
Up to the nobility, down to the common people, are talking about this matter, as after dinner. He believed that the most beautiful people in the world should not be praised by the imperial court.
Xu Xinnian's reputation has changed rapidly, from Huiyuan, who is praised and admired, to a villain whom thousands of people point out.
Xu Xinnian, who is in prison, knows nothing about it. He is facing the first trial of the Ministry of punishment and the government.
"Bang, Bang..." the jailer beat the fence with a stick and yelled:
"Xu Xinnian, come out with me, the adults will interrogate you."
On the other side, in the interrogation room, the Minister of justice and Shaoyin of the government sat behind the table, drinking tea and discussing the case.
"My Lord, why not use punishment?" Shaoyin raises doubts.
"Sun Shangshu's order," the waiter explained, then said with disdain:
"that Xu Xinnian is just a little boy. Later, I'll give him a slap in the face and let him lose his square, and then slowly interrogate him. At that time, I'll have to bother young Yin to be a red face. "
Shao Yin nodded: "you can also use the criminal law to threaten. Today's students have a sharp tongue, but when they see blood, they will be scared
All the officials smile. They are experienced interrogators. They can handle a young student easily.
The jailer took Xu Xinnian out of the cell and came to the interrogation room. He bowed to several officials in the room and said:
"your honor, criminal Xu Xinnian brought him."
With that, he stepped back.
Xu Xinnian stood at the door and glanced at the scene of the interrogation room. Behind the main table sat two Feipao officials, namely the Minister of punishment and Shaoyin of the government.
On both sides, there were many officials accompanying the interrogation, officials taking notes, and a white warlock who was the commander of heaven.
"Pa!"
The servant of the Ministry of punishment seized the table and said in a deep voice, "Xu Xinnian, someone reported that you bribed Zhao Tingfang, the chief examiner, to participate in the imperial examination fraud. Is that true?"
Xu new year shook his head: "a bunch of nonsense."
The servant of the Ministry of punishment sneered and continued: "you bribed Zhao Tingfang three hundred liang of silver through his housekeeper. With the housekeeper as the medium, you got the examination questions in advance.
"Zhu you, Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper, has confessed. This is his confession. Take a look at it for yourself."
Then he took out a confession from his sleeve and asked the officials to submit it to Xu Xinnian.
Xu Xinnian took it over and read it carefully. The confession was very detailed, even accurate to the time of the "transaction" between the two sides, with almost no loopholes.
"I'm worthy of being a member of the Ministry of punishment. Even my client can't see the flaw. However, I also have a certificate here. Do you want to see it or not? " Xu Xinnian said.
"What proof?" Asked the minister.
"Take pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Xu Erlang light way.
Immediately, the officials moved to a small table and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Wearing handcuffs and shackles, Xu Xinnian stands at the table, dip his pen in ink and write hard.
In a flash, the small characters on the head of the flies were all over the paper. Xu new year dipped his thumb in ink, pressed his fingerprints on the paper, threw his pen and said, "please have a look."
The servant of the Ministry of punishment ordered someone to take it from him. When he looked at it, his face suddenly solidified, and then his breath became heavy. He suddenly tore up the paper and pointed to Xu Xinnian. He was so angry that he said:
"start to punish me."
Young Yin Leng Leng, this is not the same as what I just said. The criminal hasn't lost his square inch. Did the servant lose his square inch first?
The officials on the scene subconsciously looked at the torn pieces of paper and guessed what Xu had written in the new year, which made the waiter so angry and hysterical.
"Look, sir, do you think the students are talking freely?"
Xu Xinnian put out his hand and sneered with disdain: "if you write down the time, place, people, and the specific process, and then press a fingerprint, you can prove what housekeeper I bought.
"Then, my Lord, oh no, my son, call my father. What Dad and your mother have done is clearly writtenThe officials looked at the pieces of paper again and seemed to know what was written on them.
"Use punishment, use punishment for me. I want to make this crazy man live, not die." The eyes of the Minister of punishment were about to crack.
How dare a student insult his dead mother. Just a Gongshi, dare to humiliate him in public.
The servant of the Ministry of punishment's blood rushed to his face, and his anger was boiling.
"Master Shilang, please calm down. Lord Shangshu has orders and can't be executed." An official of the Ministry of punishment went up to appease and whispered.
"Hum!" The Minister of punishment took a sip of tea and forced himself to control his anger, but he did not speak any more.
Shaoyin of the Yamen coughed, took over the burden of the trial and asked, "Xu Xinnian, are you cheating?"
Xu said solemnly in the new year: "no, Xu acted aboveboard and never cheated."
Shaoyin hears the speech and looks at the white Warlock of the sky warden.
This man is the cousin of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu has already come to the Tianjian to warn him this morning. But what Mr. Xu said in the new year is true..... The white magician nodded: "I didn't lie."
Shao Yin asked again, "is that song hard to travel written by you?"
Xu new year straightened his chest: "no, it's just the students."
The white warlock replied mechanically, "no lies."
Shaoyin and the Minister of punishment looked at each other. The former said, "this case is very complicated. Why don't you try it again?"
Minister of punishment nodded: "good."
Two people out of prison, into the side hall, tea conversation.
"As expected, Si Tianjian is helping Xu Xinnian." The Minister of punishment said in a deep voice.
Shaoyin, the governor of Fuya, did not speak with a smile. In the "imperial examination fraud case", the governor adopted the attitude of quietly watching the change and following the trend.
"There's no need to invite the celestial warlock today." The Minister of justice.
"Yes." Shaoyin nodded.
The next day, Shaoyin from the government came to the Ministry of punishment to take part in the trial of Xu Xinnian, but was led by the officials to see sun Shangshu.
"Please sit down, young Yin." Sun Shangshu sat on the big chair and said hello with a smile.
"I've met the minister in my humble position." Shaoyin bowed and took a seat.
Sun Shangshu took a sip of hot tea, held the cup and said with emotion: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this case and orders us to find out the truth as soon as possible.
"Now Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper has pleaded guilty. Just pry Xu Xinnian's mouth, and the case will be concluded. You're right
Shaoyin stood upright and said with a little formality: "the Lord of the book of history refuses to use punishment. How can he plead guilty in the new year?"
Sun Shangshu said with a smile: "it's not necessary to use punishment to make people plead guilty."
Shaoyin understood and showed his embarrassment.
Sun Shangshu's smile is gentle: "don't worry, don't worry. Go back and ask Chen Fu Yin, and then make a decision."
When Shaoyin returned to the yamen, he told Chen Fu Yin what sun Shangshu had said.
Chen Fu Yin did not half hesitate: "yes, just follow what sun Shang Shu said."
Shao yinwei: "Sir, it's against the rules. If Xu Xinnian is innocent.... "
Chen Fuyin sat behind the table and sneered:" it doesn't matter whether Xu Xinnian is innocent or not, he is just a small role. What those people want is "evidence of crime," not the truth.
"With the evidence of crime, they can fight in court; with the evidence of crime, they can reason. Your majesty will find them right. There will be a play on the court tomorrow.
"If you don't agree, we'll hold the case here."
What else could Shaoyin say? He arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I have a good opinion."
Chen Fu Yin shook his head: "Duke Wei didn't do it. It's strange, strange... You sent LV Qing to the watchman's Yamen to reveal it to Xu Qi'an."
Shaoyin went out of the Yamen and came to the Ministry of punishment. He still didn't try the criminals. He just told sun Shangshu Chen Fu Yin's reply.
Sun Shangshu said with a satisfied smile: "master Shaoyin, after this case is over, my official will hold a banquet in the mansion, and we must come at that time. Some adults want to meet you. "
...
the next day, it was dawn.
Civil and military officials remain silent, orderly through the Meridian Gate, to participate in the meeting.
Another quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an, who was dressed as a watchman, came slowly. On his left was Huai Qing in a plain palace skirt, as cool as a fairy in the painting.
On the right is Lin'an, a flaming red dress, charming and affectionate with charming eyes.
"How sure are you?" Huaiqing side head, looking at the side of Xu Ningyan.
Xu Qi'an bowed to the sky and murmured, "May 5th open bless."

Wang Zhenwen is a Bachelor of wenyuange, so wenyuange should become the office of the bachelor and other officials.
In the hall, Wang Zhenwen, dressed in Fei robes and gray hair, was at the desk, while the rest of the civil servants and officials were busy with their own affairs, and occasionally had whispered discussions, but they were generally quiet and harmonious.
In case of disagreement, civil servants will go to the side hall to have a big fight and decide the outcome. However, when scholars quarrel, usually no one can persuade them.
Finally, it's up to the higher authorities to make a ruling.
"Mr. Shoufu, Miss simu is here. She wants to see you." An official on duty outside the door came in with a low voice.
Wang Shoufu's writing style suddenly turned ink into ink.
How did she get into the palace... What did she do in the cabinet... Two doubts came to Wang Shoufu's mind one after another.
Wenyuan Pavilion is on the east side of the palace, but it is not in the high wall of the palace. However, in the planning, it belongs to the palace. It is heavily guarded outside, and no one can get in.
The capital of Shoufu is also in the "miscellaneous people".
"No... let her in, through the back door. I'll wait for her in the side hall." Wang Shoufu put down his pen, with one hand on his back and the other on his abdomen, calmly left the inner hall and turned to the side hall.
After waiting for a few minutes in the side hall, Wang simu, a quiet and generous man, came in with a food box and gently put it on the table. He cried sweetly, "Dad!"
Wang Shoufu said with a straight face, "well," and said, "you've been to the lake with your best friend. What are you doing in the cabinet? Who's going to take you to the palace?"
With a smile, Wang simu opened the food box and held out a bowl of delicious fish soup in a gentle voice:
"when she was swimming in the lake, her daughter saw that the carp in the lake was fat, so she asked someone to catch some. Taking advantage of its freshest time, he brought it back to the government and cooked fish soup for his father.
"Dad is busy with his official business. He should also pay attention to his health and drink more nourishing soup."
Wang Shoufu's face turned a little softer, smelling the delicious smell that made people move their fingers. After taking a sip, he immediately showed a look of enjoyment and praised: "fish soup mixed with chicken essence is really delicious in the world. It is the blessing of the common people that Si Tianjian developed it. "
After the chicken essence developed by Si Tianjian entered the market, it was immediately sought after by all walks of life. Nowadays, the rich and influential officials in the capital, as well as businessmen, can't live without chicken essence.
In ordinary people's families, they sometimes sprinkle some in the dishes to improve the taste.
Wang Zhenwen has not seen Si Tianjian develop such a good thing for many years.
Wang simu said: "I've heard a piece of gossip before that the chicken essence is not developed by Si Tianjian. It's someone else. "
Wang Zhenwen a Leng: "another person?"
Wang simu said with a smile, "Your Highness Lin'an said that the real developer of chicken essence is Xu Qian, a silver Gong, and the Si Tian Jian is just an improvement."
Wang Zhenwen didn't pay attention to such trifles. She was stunned by what her daughter said and didn't drink for a long time.
"This son is extremely intelligent and brilliant..." Wang Zhenwen sighed, shook his head and continued to drink fish soup.
Wang simu continued to chat, "originally, I wanted Yulin Wei to deliver the fish soup for you. Unexpectedly, when I met his highness Lin'an on the way, I followed her to the palace."
So far, Wang Zhenwen's two questions have been answered.
Wang simu didn't wait for Wang Zhenwen to finish the fish soup, so he got up and said goodbye: "Dad, please drink slowly. When it's over, remember to bring the bowl back. Women are not allowed to enter Wenyuan Pavilion, so there are not many daughters left. "
The last question, which I have answered, is to bring fish soup to my old father.
Wang Zhenwen then showed a smile, mild tone: "go back, mu'er's filial piety, dad knows."
Dad, an old fox, is too hard to deal with. It's really tiring to play with him...... Wang simu was relieved and turned to leave pianting hall with a smile. But she didn't really leave Wenyuan Pavilion and waved to the waiting maid.
The servant girl came quickly with another food box, and then the master and servant went to another bachelor's office.
......
in the other side room, Wang simu put his food box on the table, held out the delicious fish soup, and said with a smile, "Uncle Qian, when I was swimming in the lake today, I saw that the fish in the lake were very fat, so I had someone catch a few and cook fish soup for you and your father."
Qian Qingshu is a tall and thin old man. Unlike Wang Zhenwen, who is dignified and steady, he has a more gentle temperament, which makes people feel that he is an excellent elder to get along with.
Qian Qingshu and Wang Zhenwen are classmates and friends, and they are also Jinshi of the same class. Speaking of achievements, Qian Qingshu was a first-class scholar in those years. Wang Zhenwen was the second best. Later, he was elected to the Imperial Academy and became a good scholar.
"If you ask for wood, you can't eat wood; if you ask for fish, you can eat grain..... It's delicious since ancient times." Qian Qingshu tasted a mouthful, eyes slightly bright: "well, good to drink."
When the official business is busy, can rest to drink a bowl of fish soup, enjoy!
"My niece recently heard that Xu Huiyuan of Chunwei was jailed for cheating in the imperial examination?" Wang simu pretended to be curious.Qian Qingshu nodded slowly with a pause on his face: "the new censor of the left impeached Zhao Tingfang, the Bachelor of Dongge, for accepting bribes and giving the title to Xu Xinnian.
"And Xu's new year's hard journey was not written by himself, but by his cousin Xu Qi'an."
Is Xu Huiyuan's poem written by Xu Qian? Wang simu's face changed slightly, and all kinds of ideas flashed by. She restrained her expression and asked:
"Uncle Qian, drink slowly, and tell your niece about it."
Qian Qingshu frowned, hesitated for a long time, and sighed: "it's really cannibalism... But you have to guarantee that nothing you hear here will be disclosed."
Wang simu quickly pecked his head: "this is nature, I am the most trustworthy."
......
Xu Fu.
Study, Xu Qian sitting behind the desk, thinking about the next step plan.
It's no big deal to get a secretary of the Ministry of punishment. It's only the first step of the plan to let Erlang get rid of the punishment. Next, he needs to find out the real enemy from the civil servants.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.
"Huaiqinggui is a princess, but she can only watch and can't interfere in the plans of the court officials. After all, she is a princess without real power, but she should have a hidden confidant....
"Duke Wei's attitude towards this matter is not very positive, but more to test my ability. If I can't deal with it, I will go to him for help. Although Duke Wei will certainly help me, he will be disappointed, which is inevitable.
"How can I get some inside information? Governor Zhang is a good candidate, but he is a man of Wei Yuan. He will be alerted by the Wen ministers of the hostile camp, and may not know too much.. "
when he thinks about it, his ear moves and he hears the sound of footsteps.
"Dong Dong..."
the footsteps stopped outside the door, knocked on the door, and then came the voice: "Dalao, there is a girl looking for you."
Girl, who is it?
Well, I have too many girls to guess..... Xu Qi'an replied, "please go to the inner hall. I'll come right away."
He continued his interrupted thought, thought for a few minutes, took the cup and moistened his throat, then got up and went out.
When I came to the inner hall, I saw a pretty servant girl in a lotus Ru dress standing in the hall. Xiaodouding circled around her and said: "elder sister, let's play. Let's play. I'll treat you to horseshoe cake."
The pretty maid forced her face to smile and didn't seem to be used to getting along with the children.
"Miss Lan'er?"
Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold. An hour ago, the maid had just come.
"Mr. Xu," Lan'er saluted, then took out the folded note from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Qian. She said in a low voice, "my lady asked me to send it. I'll leave you if I don't disturb you. "
Don't give Xu Qian the chance to stay and open the note, and leave in a hurry.
Xu Qi'an sat on the chair, unfolded the note, quickly glanced at it, and his face was stunned.
This... His expression gradually became serious, because the information on the note was so important that he almost wrote the inside story of this imperial examination cheating case clearly.
It was yuan Xiong, the new zuodou censor, who was impeached for "imperial examination fraud". After Wei Yuan took charge of the duchayuan, he had a fierce fight with the "remaining evils of castrating the party" led by the right censor.
It is reasonable to say that Liu Hong, the censor of Youdu, is also one of the examiners, which is the goal of Yuan Xiong. But in this case, Zhao Tingfang of Dongge University failed to answer the question.
The reason is that if yuan Xiong directly impeached Liu Hong, the imperial censor of Youdu, it was Wei Yuan who confronted him head-on. Even under the banner of cracking down on Yunlu academy, most of the parties just look on coldly, and the help they can give is limited.
After all, even if Xu Xinnian was allowed to take part in the palace examination and become an official in the court, all the court officials had the same way to suppress and hide.
So, the second driver behind the case appeared, Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war.
Qin Yuandao, the former Minister of the Ministry of war, was the first successor of the Minister of the Ministry of war.
However, Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty arranged a leader of a small party to take over as Minister of the Ministry of war.
When Qin Tingfang's cabinet was no longer in his power, he had no idea of upgrading.
For yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodou, Xu Xinnian was not only a student of Yunlu academy, but also a cousin of Xu Qi'an.
If Xu Qi'an doesn't want to ruin his cousin's reputation, he is bound to ask Wei Yuan to help him. As long as he drags Wei Yuan into the water, he can't solve the problem of Yu Shi Liu Hong.
In addition, the note provided by Wang simu also mentioned that song Shanchang, the Duke of Cao, also contributed to the fire.
"On the surface, it's yuan Xiong, the censor of the left capital, who joined hands with Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war. At most, they have their party members. In fact, regardless of Erlang's status as a student of Yunlu academy, just because he is my cousin, those who offended me in the Sangpo case, Pingyang Princess case and Yunzhou case will seize the opportunity to retaliate against me. Sun Shangshu is an example."In addition to the status of students in Yunlu academy, the situation is not good. In addition, what does Cao Guogong mean? It's understandable for civil servants to find fault. You're a vulgar martial arts man. Do you want to join in the fun? What's the motive?... "
and why should I believe Wang Zhenwen's daughter? Can I trust her information?
But what does she mean by lying to me? From the perspective of onlookers, Erlang is finished this time, so she should be stealing fun. There's no need to do anything extra. That servant girl also appears furtive, give a note to run, this is not guilty.
Either this young lady of the Wang family is a fool, or she thinks I'm a fool... According to the analysis of Erlang and Lingyue, this young lady is not stupid either. Shit, she thinks I'm a fool?
If I don't decide to go to Wei Yuan, well, I'll say that I've inquired about these things myself, and then I'll go to him for confirmation, which can make Wei Yuan look at me with new eyes. If I'm cheated, it won't get in the way, which shows that I'm cautious and don't trust others.
In the afternoon, Xu Qi'an, who came out of haoqilou, echoed Wei Yuan's words in his mind: the Duke of Cao state and the king of Zhenbei wore a pair of trousers.
At dusk yesterday, he received a "secret letter" from Wang simu. He thought for a long time on his own and felt that his credibility was very high, but he didn't believe it rashly.
After lunch today, I checked with Wei Yuan and got a positive reply.
The king of Zhenbei and I can't get to the same place. This should be Cao Guogong's own idea, but I'm not familiar with Cao Guogong. What does he do for me?
Vajra magic power... This idea flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind.
On the way back to Yidao hall, I met an official who happened to be looking for him and said, "Lord Xu, someone is looking for you outside."
"Who?" Xu Qian's eyes flashed slightly.
"People from huaiwang mansion." The clerk replied.
Huaiwang mansion... Xu Qi'an spits out a foul breath: "I know."
He immediately turned around and went to yamen gate. When he got to yamen gate, he saw a luxurious carriage parked by the side of the road. Two lines of strong armour guard the side of the carriage.
Seeing that Xu Qi'an came out, a guard immediately came and said, "but Xu Yinluo?"
Xu Qi'an nodded.
"General Chu is waiting for you in the car." Bodyguard way.
After pondering for a few seconds, he followed the bodyguard to the side of the carriage and heard the man's thick voice: "come in and talk."
The voice with a long stay in the upper voice, more like a command.
Xu Qian boarded the carriage and entered it.
In the spacious carriage, a bearded man was sitting. He was wearing a light purple robe, with a Chinese character face. His skin was swarthy, and his eyes were moving like electricity.
The bearded man made a gesture to ask Xu Qi'an to take a seat, and said in a thick voice:
"I heard that Xu Yinluo's cousin was involved in the imperial examination fraud."
Xu Qi'an stared at him and said tentatively, "the general is......"
the man with beard replied concisely: "Chu Xianglong, deputy general of Zhenbei king."
Xu Qi narrowed his eyes when he settled down and said, "shouldn't the general guard the north? How did he return to Beijing?"
"That's not what a silver Gong should ask." The bearded man said faintly.
He stopped for a moment and continued, "I'm looking for you, general. It's a deal."
"Go ahead, general."
"Hand over the cultivation method of Vajra's divine skill, and I will help you to get people out of prison." Chu Xianglong's eyes were burning at him.
Sure enough, it's for Vajra's miraculous skill. No martial arts man would not care about this body protecting miraculous skill. In the immortal body of Shenshu monk, there is Vajra's miraculous skill. Even a high-quality martial arts man is greedy for this skill..
so, Duke Cao and this man are planning my Vajra's miraculous skill to take advantage of the fire and grab benefits from me..
"Vajra of Buddhism is invincible If you don't wait for idle people to learn, you have to have a good chance. " Xu Qian reminds a way.
"You don't need to remind me that since you have learned the Vajra skill, you have realized the profound meaning of Vajra skill. It's our general's business to record the profound meaning of Vajra skill and whether you can achieve it or not." Chu Xianglong sent out a reassurance:
"as long as you record the secret arts, the general has his own way to get people."
You're not just trying to steal from me, you're also trying to play with my IQ? Xu Qian sneered in his heart and asked:
"dare to ask the general, how to get people?"
"I have my own way." Chu Xianglong answered calmly.
"This case involves a wide range and complexity. Those civil servants will not listen to you. General, don't think I'm a three-year-old. " Xu Qian's impolite sneer.
"I'm just talking about bailing out, not getting rid of him." Chu Xianglong's sharp eyes fixed on Xu Qi'an and said:
"he's just a small man. No one will really hang on to him. I'm sure that he will be given a lighter punishment. If he delays for three years at most, he will be able to participate in the imperial examination again."With the painstaking management of Yunlu Academy in Qingzhou, it would be the best place for him."
Xu Qian's eyes flashed and said, "good! But my request is to save people first. "
Chu Xianglong nodded: "yes."
At the end of the conversation, leaving the carriage, Xu Qi'an stood on the street without expression.
Up to now, he can confirm the real purpose of Cao Guogong.
"These dogs have been thinking about my Vajra skills for a long time. Before, I was on the rise and they were afraid. Now they are taking advantage of the imperial examination cheating case to suppress Erlang, so that I can obediently surrender my Vajra skills......
" OK, I'll see how I pit you. "
When the carriage disappeared in sight, he did not return to the watchman's Yamen and disappeared at the end of the long street.
...
after a day and a night of fermentation, dissemination, and the promotion of people, rumors of the imperial examination cheating case broke out the next day.
Up to the nobility, down to the common people, are talking about this matter, as after dinner. He believed that the most beautiful people in the world should not be praised by the imperial court.
Xu Xinnian's reputation has changed rapidly, from Huiyuan, who is praised and admired, to a villain whom thousands of people point out.
Xu Xinnian, who is in prison, knows nothing about it. He is facing the first trial of the Ministry of punishment and the government.
"Bang, Bang..." the jailer beat the fence with a stick and yelled:
"Xu Xinnian, come out with me, the adults will interrogate you."
On the other side, in the interrogation room, the Minister of justice and Shaoyin of the government sat behind the table, drinking tea and discussing the case.
"My Lord, why not use punishment?" Shaoyin raises doubts.
"Sun Shangshu's order," the waiter explained, then said with disdain:
"that Xu Xinnian is just a little boy. Later, I'll give him a slap in the face and let him lose his square, and then slowly interrogate him. At that time, I'll have to bother young Yin to be a red face. "
Shao Yin nodded: "you can also use the criminal law to threaten. Today's students have a sharp tongue, but when they see blood, they will be scared
All the officials smile. They are experienced interrogators. They can handle a young student easily.
The jailer took Xu Xinnian out of the cell and came to the interrogation room. He bowed to several officials in the room and said:
"your honor, criminal Xu Xinnian brought him."
With that, he stepped back.
Xu Xinnian stood at the door and glanced at the scene of the interrogation room. Behind the main table sat two Feipao officials, namely the Minister of punishment and Shaoyin of the government.
On both sides, there were many officials accompanying the interrogation, officials taking notes, and a white warlock who was the commander of heaven.
"Pa!"
The servant of the Ministry of punishment seized the table and said in a deep voice, "Xu Xinnian, someone reported that you bribed Zhao Tingfang, the chief examiner, to participate in the imperial examination fraud. Is that true?"
Xu new year shook his head: "a bunch of nonsense."
The servant of the Ministry of punishment sneered and continued: "you bribed Zhao Tingfang three hundred liang of silver through his housekeeper. With the housekeeper as the medium, you got the examination questions in advance.
"Zhu you, Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper, has confessed. This is his confession. Take a look at it for yourself."
Then he took out a confession from his sleeve and asked the officials to submit it to Xu Xinnian.
Xu Xinnian took it over and read it carefully. The confession was very detailed, even accurate to the time of the "transaction" between the two sides, with almost no loopholes.
"I'm worthy of being a member of the Ministry of punishment. Even my client can't see the flaw. However, I also have a certificate here. Do you want to see it or not? " Xu Xinnian said.
"What proof?" Asked the minister.
"Take pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Xu Erlang light way.
Immediately, the officials moved to a small table and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
Wearing handcuffs and shackles, Xu Xinnian stands at the table, dip his pen in ink and write hard.
In a flash, the small characters on the head of the flies were all over the paper. Xu new year dipped his thumb in ink, pressed his fingerprints on the paper, threw his pen and said, "please have a look."
The servant of the Ministry of punishment ordered someone to take it from him. When he looked at it, his face suddenly solidified, and then his breath became heavy. He suddenly tore up the paper and pointed to Xu Xinnian. He was so angry that he said:
"start to punish me."
Young Yin Leng Leng, this is not the same as what I just said. The criminal hasn't lost his square inch. Did the servant lose his square inch first?
The officials on the scene subconsciously looked at the torn pieces of paper and guessed what Xu had written in the new year, which made the waiter so angry and hysterical.
"Look, sir, do you think the students are talking freely?"
Xu Xinnian put out his hand and sneered with disdain: "if you write down the time, place, people, and the specific process, and then press a fingerprint, you can prove what housekeeper I bought.
"Then, my Lord, oh no, my son, call my father. What Dad and your mother have done is clearly writtenThe officials looked at the pieces of paper again and seemed to know what was written on them.
"Use punishment, use punishment for me. I want to make this crazy man live, not die." The eyes of the Minister of punishment were about to crack.
How dare a student insult his dead mother. Just a Gongshi, dare to humiliate him in public.
The servant of the Ministry of punishment's blood rushed to his face, and his anger was boiling.
"Master Shilang, please calm down. Lord Shangshu has orders and can't be executed." An official of the Ministry of punishment went up to appease and whispered.
"Hum!" The Minister of punishment took a sip of tea and forced himself to control his anger, but he did not speak any more.
Shaoyin of the Yamen coughed, took over the burden of the trial and asked, "Xu Xinnian, are you cheating?"
Xu said solemnly in the new year: "no, Xu acted aboveboard and never cheated."
Shaoyin hears the speech and looks at the white Warlock of the sky warden.
This man is the cousin of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu has already come to the Tianjian to warn him this morning. But what Mr. Xu said in the new year is true..... The white magician nodded: "I didn't lie."
Shao Yin asked again, "is that song hard to travel written by you?"
Xu new year straightened his chest: "no, it's just the students."
The white warlock replied mechanically, "no lies."
Shaoyin and the Minister of punishment looked at each other. The former said, "this case is very complicated. Why don't you try it again?"
Minister of punishment nodded: "good."
Two people out of prison, into the side hall, tea conversation.
"As expected, Si Tianjian is helping Xu Xinnian." The Minister of punishment said in a deep voice.
Shaoyin, the governor of Fuya, did not speak with a smile. In the "imperial examination fraud case", the governor adopted the attitude of quietly watching the change and following the trend.
"There's no need to invite the celestial warlock today." The Minister of justice.
"Yes." Shaoyin nodded.
The next day, Shaoyin from the government came to the Ministry of punishment to take part in the trial of Xu Xinnian, but was led by the officials to see sun Shangshu.
"Please sit down, young Yin." Sun Shangshu sat on the big chair and said hello with a smile.
"I've met the minister in my humble position." Shaoyin bowed and took a seat.
Sun Shangshu took a sip of hot tea, held the cup and said with emotion: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this case and orders us to find out the truth as soon as possible.
"Now Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper has pleaded guilty. Just pry Xu Xinnian's mouth, and the case will be concluded. You're right
Shaoyin stood upright and said with a little formality: "the Lord of the book of history refuses to use punishment. How can he plead guilty in the new year?"
Sun Shangshu said with a smile: "it's not necessary to use punishment to make people plead guilty."
Shaoyin understood and showed his embarrassment.
Sun Shangshu's smile is gentle: "don't worry, don't worry. Go back and ask Chen Fu Yin, and then make a decision."
When Shaoyin returned to the yamen, he told Chen Fu Yin what sun Shangshu had said.
Chen Fu Yin did not half hesitate: "yes, just follow what sun Shang Shu said."
Shao yinwei: "Sir, it's against the rules. If Xu Xinnian is innocent.... "
Chen Fuyin sat behind the table and sneered:" it doesn't matter whether Xu Xinnian is innocent or not, he is just a small role. What those people want is "evidence of crime," not the truth.
"With the evidence of crime, they can fight in court; with the evidence of crime, they can reason. Your majesty will find them right. There will be a play on the court tomorrow.
"If you don't agree, we'll hold the case here."
What else could Shaoyin say? He arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I have a good opinion."
Chen Fu Yin shook his head: "Duke Wei didn't do it. It's strange, strange... You sent LV Qing to the watchman's Yamen to reveal it to Xu Qi'an."
Shaoyin went out of the Yamen and came to the Ministry of punishment. He still didn't try the criminals. He just told sun Shangshu Chen Fu Yin's reply.
Sun Shangshu said with a satisfied smile: "master Shaoyin, after this case is over, my official will hold a banquet in the mansion, and we must come at that time. Some adults want to meet you. "
...
the next day, it was dawn.
Civil and military officials remain silent, orderly through the Meridian Gate, to participate in the meeting.
Another quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an, who was dressed as a watchman, came slowly. On his left was Huai Qing in a plain palace skirt, as cool as a fairy in the painting.
On the right is Lin'an, a flaming red dress, charming and affectionate with charming eyes.
"How sure are you?" Huaiqing side head, looking at the side of Xu Ningyan.
Xu Qi'an bowed to the sky and murmured, "May 5th open bless."
PS: a friend's book "no one really thinks it's hard to cultivate immortals"
the author always has a sense of how to comment on the book. It's not unusual. It's the same with this one. I believe you are also very interested.
He said that the newspaper sellers, you and your readers, are handsome enough to stir up the party, shame Gu Tianle's male sex, and go out at a speed of 300 hours. I love writing books based on you.
Melon seeds like to be opportunistic. Bah! Please keep it up.
PS: I'll sleep for a while. I'm too sleepy to open my eyes. When to wake up, the second chapter, must be after the morning, everyone don't wait.
Wang Zhenwen is a Bachelor of wenyuange, so wenyuange should become the office of the bachelor and other officials. In the hall, Wang Zhenwen, dressed in Fei robes and gray hair, was at the desk, while the rest of the civil servants and officials were busy with their own affairs, and occasionally had whispered discussions, but they were generally quiet and harmonious. In case of disagreement, civil servants will go to the side hall to have a big fight and decide the outcome. However, when scholars quarrel, usually no one can persuade them. Finally, it's up to the higher authorities to make a ruling. "Mr. Shoufu, Miss simu is here. She wants to see you." An official on duty outside the door came in with a low voice. Wang Shoufu's writing style suddenly turned ink into ink. How did she get into the palace... What did she do in the cabinet... Two doubts came to Wang Shoufu's mind one after another. Wenyuan Pavilion is on the east side of the palace, but it is not in the high wall of the palace. However, in the planning, it belongs to the palace. It is heavily guarded outside, and no one can get in. The capital of Shoufu is also in the "miscellaneous people". "No... let her in, through the back door. I'll wait for her in the side hall." Wang Shoufu put down his pen, with one hand on his back and the other on his abdomen, calmly left the inner hall and turned to the side hall. After waiting for a few minutes in the side hall, Wang simu, a quiet and generous man, came in with a food box and gently put it on the table. He cried sweetly, "Dad!" Wang Shoufu said with a straight face, "well," and said, "you've been to the lake with your best friend. What are you doing in the cabinet? Who's going to take you to the palace?" With a smile, Wang simu opened the food box and held out a bowl of delicious fish soup in a gentle voice: "when she was swimming in the lake, her daughter saw that the carp in the lake was fat, so she asked someone to catch some. Taking advantage of its freshest time, he brought it back to the government and cooked fish soup for his father. "Dad is busy with his official business. He should also pay attention to his health and drink more nourishing soup." Wang Shoufu's face turned a little softer, smelling the delicious smell that made people move their fingers. After taking a sip, he immediately showed a look of enjoyment and praised: "fish soup mixed with chicken essence is really delicious in the world. It is the blessing of the common people that Si Tianjian developed it. " After the chicken essence developed by Si Tianjian entered the market, it was immediately sought after by all walks of life. Nowadays, the rich and influential officials in the capital, as well as businessmen, can't live without chicken essence. In ordinary people's families, they sometimes sprinkle some in the dishes to improve the taste. Wang Zhenwen has not seen Si Tianjian develop such a good thing for many years. Wang simu said: "I've heard a piece of gossip before that the chicken essence is not developed by Si Tianjian. It's someone else. " Wang Zhenwen a Leng: "another person?" Wang simu said with a smile, "Your Highness Lin'an said that the real developer of chicken essence is Xu Qian, a silver Gong, and the Si Tian Jian is just an improvement." Wang Zhenwen didn't pay attention to such trifles. She was stunned by what her daughter said and didn't drink for a long time. "This son is extremely intelligent and brilliant..." Wang Zhenwen sighed, shook his head and continued to drink fish soup. Wang simu continued to chat, "originally, I wanted Yulin Wei to deliver the fish soup for you. Unexpectedly, when I met his highness Lin'an on the way, I followed her to the palace." So far, Wang Zhenwen's two questions have been answered. Wang simu didn't wait for Wang Zhenwen to finish the fish soup, so he got up and said goodbye: "Dad, please drink slowly. When it's over, remember to bring the bowl back. Women are not allowed to enter Wenyuan Pavilion, so there are not many daughters left. " The last question, which I have answered, is to bring fish soup to my old father. Wang Zhenwen then showed a smile, mild tone: "go back, mu'er's filial piety, dad knows." Dad, an old fox, is too hard to deal with. It's really tiring to play with him...... Wang simu was relieved and turned to leave pianting hall with a smile. But she didn't really leave Wenyuan Pavilion and waved to the waiting maid. The servant girl came quickly with another food box, and then the master and servant went to another bachelor's office. ...... in the other side room, Wang simu put his food box on the table, held out the delicious fish soup, and said with a smile, "Uncle Qian, when I was swimming in the lake today, I saw that the fish in the lake were very fat, so I had someone catch a few and cook fish soup for you and your father." Qian Qingshu is a tall and thin old man. Unlike Wang Zhenwen, who is dignified and steady, he has a more gentle temperament, which makes people feel that he is an excellent elder to get along with. Qian Qingshu and Wang Zhenwen are classmates and friends, and they are also Jinshi of the same class. Speaking of achievements, Qian Qingshu was a first-class scholar in those years. Wang Zhenwen was the second best. Later, he was elected to the Imperial Academy and became a good scholar. "If you ask for wood, you can't eat wood; if you ask for fish, you can eat grain..... It's delicious since ancient times." Qian Qingshu tasted a mouthful, eyes slightly bright: "well, good to drink." When the official business is busy, can rest to drink a bowl of fish soup, enjoy! "My niece recently heard that Xu Huiyuan of Chunwei was jailed for cheating in the imperial examination?" Wang simu pretended to be curious.Qian Qingshu nodded slowly with a pause on his face: "the new censor of the left impeached Zhao Tingfang, the Bachelor of Dongge, for accepting bribes and giving the title to Xu Xinnian. "And Xu's new year's hard journey was not written by himself, but by his cousin Xu Qi'an." Is Xu Huiyuan's poem written by Xu Qian? Wang simu's face changed slightly, and all kinds of ideas flashed by. She restrained her expression and asked: "Uncle Qian, drink slowly, and tell your niece about it." Qian Qingshu frowned, hesitated for a long time, and sighed: "it's really cannibalism... But you have to guarantee that nothing you hear here will be disclosed." Wang simu quickly pecked his head: "this is nature, I am the most trustworthy." ...... Xu Fu. Study, Xu Qian sitting behind the desk, thinking about the next step plan. It's no big deal to get a secretary of the Ministry of punishment. It's only the first step of the plan to let Erlang get rid of the punishment. Next, he needs to find out the real enemy from the civil servants. Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. "Huaiqinggui is a princess, but she can only watch and can't interfere in the plans of the court officials. After all, she is a princess without real power, but she should have a hidden confidant.... "Duke Wei's attitude towards this matter is not very positive, but more to test my ability. If I can't deal with it, I will go to him for help. Although Duke Wei will certainly help me, he will be disappointed, which is inevitable. "How can I get some inside information? Governor Zhang is a good candidate, but he is a man of Wei Yuan. He will be alerted by the Wen ministers of the hostile camp, and may not know too much.. "when he thinks about it, his ear moves and he hears the sound of footsteps. "Dong Dong..." the footsteps stopped outside the door, knocked on the door, and then came the voice: "Dalao, there is a girl looking for you." Girl, who is it? Well, I have too many girls to guess..... Xu Qi'an replied, "please go to the inner hall. I'll come right away." He continued his interrupted thought, thought for a few minutes, took the cup and moistened his throat, then got up and went out. When I came to the inner hall, I saw a pretty servant girl in a lotus Ru dress standing in the hall. Xiaodouding circled around her and said: "elder sister, let's play. Let's play. I'll treat you to horseshoe cake." The pretty maid forced her face to smile and didn't seem to be used to getting along with the children. "Miss Lan'er?" Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold. An hour ago, the maid had just come. "Mr. Xu," Lan'er saluted, then took out the folded note from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Qian. She said in a low voice, "my lady asked me to send it. I'll leave you if I don't disturb you. " Don't give Xu Qian the chance to stay and open the note, and leave in a hurry. Xu Qi'an sat on the chair, unfolded the note, quickly glanced at it, and his face was stunned. This... His expression gradually became serious, because the information on the note was so important that he almost wrote the inside story of this imperial examination cheating case clearly. It was yuan Xiong, the new zuodou censor, who was impeached for "imperial examination fraud". After Wei Yuan took charge of the duchayuan, he had a fierce fight with the "remaining evils of castrating the party" led by the right censor. It is reasonable to say that Liu Hong, the censor of Youdu, is also one of the examiners, which is the goal of Yuan Xiong. But in this case, Zhao Tingfang of Dongge University failed to answer the question. The reason is that if yuan Xiong directly impeached Liu Hong, the imperial censor of Youdu, it was Wei Yuan who confronted him head-on. Even under the banner of cracking down on Yunlu academy, most of the parties just look on coldly, and the help they can give is limited. After all, even if Xu Xinnian was allowed to take part in the palace examination and become an official in the court, all the court officials had the same way to suppress and hide. So, the second driver behind the case appeared, Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war. Qin Yuandao, the former Minister of the Ministry of war, was the first successor of the Minister of the Ministry of war. However, Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty arranged a leader of a small party to take over as Minister of the Ministry of war. When Qin Tingfang's cabinet was no longer in his power, he had no idea of upgrading. For yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodou, Xu Xinnian was not only a student of Yunlu academy, but also a cousin of Xu Qi'an. If Xu Qi'an doesn't want to ruin his cousin's reputation, he is bound to ask Wei Yuan to help him. As long as he drags Wei Yuan into the water, he can't solve the problem of Yu Shi Liu Hong. In addition, the note provided by Wang simu also mentioned that song Shanchang, the Duke of Cao, also contributed to the fire. "On the surface, it's yuan Xiong, the censor of the left capital, who joined hands with Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war. At most, they have their party members. In fact, regardless of Erlang's status as a student of Yunlu academy, just because he is my cousin, those who offended me in the Sangpo case, Pingyang Princess case and Yunzhou case will seize the opportunity to retaliate against me. Sun Shangshu is an example."In addition to the status of students in Yunlu academy, the situation is not good. In addition, what does Cao Guogong mean? It's understandable for civil servants to find fault. You're a vulgar martial arts man. Do you want to join in the fun? What's the motive?... "and why should I believe Wang Zhenwen's daughter? Can I trust her information? But what does she mean by lying to me? From the perspective of onlookers, Erlang is finished this time, so she should be stealing fun. There's no need to do anything extra. That servant girl also appears furtive, give a note to run, this is not guilty. Either this young lady of the Wang family is a fool, or she thinks I'm a fool... According to the analysis of Erlang and Lingyue, this young lady is not stupid either. Shit, she thinks I'm a fool? If I don't decide to go to Wei Yuan, well, I'll say that I've inquired about these things myself, and then I'll go to him for confirmation, which can make Wei Yuan look at me with new eyes. If I'm cheated, it won't get in the way, which shows that I'm cautious and don't trust others. In the afternoon, Xu Qi'an, who came out of haoqilou, echoed Wei Yuan's words in his mind: the Duke of Cao state and the king of Zhenbei wore a pair of trousers. At dusk yesterday, he received a "secret letter" from Wang simu. He thought for a long time on his own and felt that his credibility was very high, but he didn't believe it rashly. After lunch today, I checked with Wei Yuan and got a positive reply. The king of Zhenbei and I can't get to the same place. This should be Cao Guogong's own idea, but I'm not familiar with Cao Guogong. What does he do for me? Vajra magic power... This idea flashed through Xu Qi'an's mind. On the way back to Yidao hall, I met an official who happened to be looking for him and said, "Lord Xu, someone is looking for you outside." "Who?" Xu Qian's eyes flashed slightly. "People from huaiwang mansion." The clerk replied. Huaiwang mansion... Xu Qi'an spits out a foul breath: "I know." He immediately turned around and went to yamen gate. When he got to yamen gate, he saw a luxurious carriage parked by the side of the road. Two lines of strong armour guard the side of the carriage. Seeing that Xu Qi'an came out, a guard immediately came and said, "but Xu Yinluo?" Xu Qi'an nodded. "General Chu is waiting for you in the car." Bodyguard way. After pondering for a few seconds, he followed the bodyguard to the side of the carriage and heard the man's thick voice: "come in and talk." The voice with a long stay in the upper voice, more like a command. Xu Qian boarded the carriage and entered it. In the spacious carriage, a bearded man was sitting. He was wearing a light purple robe, with a Chinese character face. His skin was swarthy, and his eyes were moving like electricity. The bearded man made a gesture to ask Xu Qi'an to take a seat, and said in a thick voice: "I heard that Xu Yinluo's cousin was involved in the imperial examination fraud." Xu Qi'an stared at him and said tentatively, "the general is......" the man with beard replied concisely: "Chu Xianglong, deputy general of Zhenbei king." Xu Qi narrowed his eyes when he settled down and said, "shouldn't the general guard the north? How did he return to Beijing?" "That's not what a silver Gong should ask." The bearded man said faintly. He stopped for a moment and continued, "I'm looking for you, general. It's a deal." "Go ahead, general." "Hand over the cultivation method of Vajra's divine skill, and I will help you to get people out of prison." Chu Xianglong's eyes were burning at him. Sure enough, it's for Vajra's miraculous skill. No martial arts man would not care about this body protecting miraculous skill. In the immortal body of Shenshu monk, there is Vajra's miraculous skill. Even a high-quality martial arts man is greedy for this skill.. so, Duke Cao and this man are planning my Vajra's miraculous skill to take advantage of the fire and grab benefits from me.. "Vajra of Buddhism is invincible If you don't wait for idle people to learn, you have to have a good chance. " Xu Qian reminds a way. "You don't need to remind me that since you have learned the Vajra skill, you have realized the profound meaning of Vajra skill. It's our general's business to record the profound meaning of Vajra skill and whether you can achieve it or not." Chu Xianglong sent out a reassurance: "as long as you record the secret arts, the general has his own way to get people." You're not just trying to steal from me, you're also trying to play with my IQ? Xu Qian sneered in his heart and asked: "dare to ask the general, how to get people?" "I have my own way." Chu Xianglong answered calmly. "This case involves a wide range and complexity. Those civil servants will not listen to you. General, don't think I'm a three-year-old. " Xu Qian's impolite sneer. "I'm just talking about bailing out, not getting rid of him." Chu Xianglong's sharp eyes fixed on Xu Qi'an and said: "he's just a small man. No one will really hang on to him. I'm sure that he will be given a lighter punishment. If he delays for three years at most, he will be able to participate in the imperial examination again."With the painstaking management of Yunlu Academy in Qingzhou, it would be the best place for him." Xu Qian's eyes flashed and said, "good! But my request is to save people first. " Chu Xianglong nodded: "yes." At the end of the conversation, leaving the carriage, Xu Qi'an stood on the street without expression. Up to now, he can confirm the real purpose of Cao Guogong. "These dogs have been thinking about my Vajra skills for a long time. Before, I was on the rise and they were afraid. Now they are taking advantage of the imperial examination cheating case to suppress Erlang, so that I can obediently surrender my Vajra skills...... " OK, I'll see how I pit you. " When the carriage disappeared in sight, he did not return to the watchman's Yamen and disappeared at the end of the long street. ... after a day and a night of fermentation, dissemination, and the promotion of people, rumors of the imperial examination cheating case broke out the next day. Up to the nobility, down to the common people, are talking about this matter, as after dinner. He believed that the most beautiful people in the world should not be praised by the imperial court. Xu Xinnian's reputation has changed rapidly, from Huiyuan, who is praised and admired, to a villain whom thousands of people point out. Xu Xinnian, who is in prison, knows nothing about it. He is facing the first trial of the Ministry of punishment and the government. "Bang, Bang..." the jailer beat the fence with a stick and yelled: "Xu Xinnian, come out with me, the adults will interrogate you." On the other side, in the interrogation room, the Minister of justice and Shaoyin of the government sat behind the table, drinking tea and discussing the case. "My Lord, why not use punishment?" Shaoyin raises doubts. "Sun Shangshu's order," the waiter explained, then said with disdain: "that Xu Xinnian is just a little boy. Later, I'll give him a slap in the face and let him lose his square, and then slowly interrogate him. At that time, I'll have to bother young Yin to be a red face. " Shao Yin nodded: "you can also use the criminal law to threaten. Today's students have a sharp tongue, but when they see blood, they will be scared All the officials smile. They are experienced interrogators. They can handle a young student easily. The jailer took Xu Xinnian out of the cell and came to the interrogation room. He bowed to several officials in the room and said: "your honor, criminal Xu Xinnian brought him." With that, he stepped back. Xu Xinnian stood at the door and glanced at the scene of the interrogation room. Behind the main table sat two Feipao officials, namely the Minister of punishment and Shaoyin of the government. On both sides, there were many officials accompanying the interrogation, officials taking notes, and a white warlock who was the commander of heaven. "Pa!" The servant of the Ministry of punishment seized the table and said in a deep voice, "Xu Xinnian, someone reported that you bribed Zhao Tingfang, the chief examiner, to participate in the imperial examination fraud. Is that true?" Xu new year shook his head: "a bunch of nonsense." The servant of the Ministry of punishment sneered and continued: "you bribed Zhao Tingfang three hundred liang of silver through his housekeeper. With the housekeeper as the medium, you got the examination questions in advance. "Zhu you, Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper, has confessed. This is his confession. Take a look at it for yourself." Then he took out a confession from his sleeve and asked the officials to submit it to Xu Xinnian. Xu Xinnian took it over and read it carefully. The confession was very detailed, even accurate to the time of the "transaction" between the two sides, with almost no loopholes. "I'm worthy of being a member of the Ministry of punishment. Even my client can't see the flaw. However, I also have a certificate here. Do you want to see it or not? " Xu Xinnian said. "What proof?" Asked the minister. "Take pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Xu Erlang light way. Immediately, the officials moved to a small table and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it. Wearing handcuffs and shackles, Xu Xinnian stands at the table, dip his pen in ink and write hard. In a flash, the small characters on the head of the flies were all over the paper. Xu new year dipped his thumb in ink, pressed his fingerprints on the paper, threw his pen and said, "please have a look." The servant of the Ministry of punishment ordered someone to take it from him. When he looked at it, his face suddenly solidified, and then his breath became heavy. He suddenly tore up the paper and pointed to Xu Xinnian. He was so angry that he said: "start to punish me." Young Yin Leng Leng, this is not the same as what I just said. The criminal hasn't lost his square inch. Did the servant lose his square inch first? The officials on the scene subconsciously looked at the torn pieces of paper and guessed what Xu had written in the new year, which made the waiter so angry and hysterical. "Look, sir, do you think the students are talking freely?" Xu Xinnian put out his hand and sneered with disdain: "if you write down the time, place, people, and the specific process, and then press a fingerprint, you can prove what housekeeper I bought. "Then, my Lord, oh no, my son, call my father. What Dad and your mother have done is clearly writtenThe officials looked at the pieces of paper again and seemed to know what was written on them. "Use punishment, use punishment for me. I want to make this crazy man live, not die." The eyes of the Minister of punishment were about to crack. How dare a student insult his dead mother. Just a Gongshi, dare to humiliate him in public. The servant of the Ministry of punishment's blood rushed to his face, and his anger was boiling. "Master Shilang, please calm down. Lord Shangshu has orders and can't be executed." An official of the Ministry of punishment went up to appease and whispered. "Hum!" The Minister of punishment took a sip of tea and forced himself to control his anger, but he did not speak any more. Shaoyin of the Yamen coughed, took over the burden of the trial and asked, "Xu Xinnian, are you cheating?" Xu said solemnly in the new year: "no, Xu acted aboveboard and never cheated." Shaoyin hears the speech and looks at the white Warlock of the sky warden. This man is the cousin of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu has already come to the Tianjian to warn him this morning. But what Mr. Xu said in the new year is true..... The white magician nodded: "I didn't lie." Shao Yin asked again, "is that song hard to travel written by you?" Xu new year straightened his chest: "no, it's just the students." The white warlock replied mechanically, "no lies." Shaoyin and the Minister of punishment looked at each other. The former said, "this case is very complicated. Why don't you try it again?" Minister of punishment nodded: "good." Two people out of prison, into the side hall, tea conversation. "As expected, Si Tianjian is helping Xu Xinnian." The Minister of punishment said in a deep voice. Shaoyin, the governor of Fuya, did not speak with a smile. In the "imperial examination fraud case", the governor adopted the attitude of quietly watching the change and following the trend. "There's no need to invite the celestial warlock today." The Minister of justice. "Yes." Shaoyin nodded. The next day, Shaoyin from the government came to the Ministry of punishment to take part in the trial of Xu Xinnian, but was led by the officials to see sun Shangshu. "Please sit down, young Yin." Sun Shangshu sat on the big chair and said hello with a smile. "I've met the minister in my humble position." Shaoyin bowed and took a seat. Sun Shangshu took a sip of hot tea, held the cup and said with emotion: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this case and orders us to find out the truth as soon as possible. "Now Zhao Tingfang's housekeeper has pleaded guilty. Just pry Xu Xinnian's mouth, and the case will be concluded. You're right Shaoyin stood upright and said with a little formality: "the Lord of the book of history refuses to use punishment. How can he plead guilty in the new year?" Sun Shangshu said with a smile: "it's not necessary to use punishment to make people plead guilty." Shaoyin understood and showed his embarrassment. Sun Shangshu's smile is gentle: "don't worry, don't worry. Go back and ask Chen Fu Yin, and then make a decision." When Shaoyin returned to the yamen, he told Chen Fu Yin what sun Shangshu had said. Chen Fu Yin did not half hesitate: "yes, just follow what sun Shang Shu said." Shao yinwei: "Sir, it's against the rules. If Xu Xinnian is innocent.... "Chen Fuyin sat behind the table and sneered:" it doesn't matter whether Xu Xinnian is innocent or not, he is just a small role. What those people want is "evidence of crime," not the truth. "With the evidence of crime, they can fight in court; with the evidence of crime, they can reason. Your majesty will find them right. There will be a play on the court tomorrow. "If you don't agree, we'll hold the case here." What else could Shaoyin say? He arched his hand and said, "my Lord, I have a good opinion." Chen Fu Yin shook his head: "Duke Wei didn't do it. It's strange, strange... You sent LV Qing to the watchman's Yamen to reveal it to Xu Qi'an." Shaoyin went out of the Yamen and came to the Ministry of punishment. He still didn't try the criminals. He just told sun Shangshu Chen Fu Yin's reply. Sun Shangshu said with a satisfied smile: "master Shaoyin, after this case is over, my official will hold a banquet in the mansion, and we must come at that time. Some adults want to meet you. " ... the next day, it was dawn. Civil and military officials remain silent, orderly through the Meridian Gate, to participate in the meeting. Another quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an, who was dressed as a watchman, came slowly. On his left was Huai Qing in a plain palace skirt, as cool as a fairy in the painting. On the right is Lin'an, a flaming red dress, charming and affectionate with charming eyes. "How sure are you?" Huaiqing side head, looking at the side of Xu Ningyan. Xu Qi'an bowed to the sky and murmured, "May 5th open bless." PS: a friend's book "no one really thinks it's hard to cultivate immortals"the author always has a sense of how to comment on the book. It's not unusual. It's the same with this one. I believe you are also very interested. He said that the newspaper sellers, you and your readers, are handsome enough to stir up the party, shame Gu Tianle's male sex, and go out at a speed of 300 hours. I love writing books based on you. Melon seeds like to be opportunistic. Bah! Please keep it up. PS: I'll sleep for a while. I'm too sleepy to open my eyes. When to wake up, the second chapter, must be after the morning, everyone don't wait.
