The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 434

"Your Majesty, my humble servant has been wronged! Your Majesty"

"Your Majesty, you can't listen to the villain's slander! Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the voices of two people crying for grievances sounded in the hall.Not long after that, he was dragged out by the imperial guards.

"Father, my son thinks that Master Wan was framed by an adulterer, please order a thorough investigation, Master Wan will never do such a thing."

Seeing his grandfather being pushed out, the third prince quickly knelt down and kowtowed, his grandfather could not have done such a thing.

"Father! The third brother is right. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated!" The eldest prince also quickly knelt down. Song Shujing was always the father of his side concubine, and he always asked for love out of emotion and reason.

"My minister begs the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter." At this time, several officials stood up and interceded for the two.

These people are all from the lineage of the First Prince and the Third Prince, and the rest of the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. They did not expect the Emperor to imprison them based on those letters.

The emperor's face darkened slightly, "Xia Aiqing, what do you think?"

Xia Qing was not surprised by the emperor's sudden name calling.

He took a step forward and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I think that it is too early to say anything about this matter before a thorough investigation. It is better to wait until the mansion is searched before making a conclusion."

Yin Kun and Jiang Mingyuan were very anxious at this moment, Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing were imprisoned in Dali Temple, those people must have come prepared.

If any criminal evidence is found in the two mansions, even if the two deny it, it will be useless.At that time, there will definitely be torture to extract a confession. It would be fine if the two really confessed.Fearing that this was a non-existent thing, the two were beaten into tricks and pointed out a few casually.

Or if they can't name the list, Gu Chengyu's talent and learning must be in the top few, so he is very dangerous.

The little eunuch dodged all the way into Chenghua Palace, met Aunt Lan of Chenghua Palace, and hurried forward to grab her.

"Miss Lan, hurry up and take the servant to see the empress."

Naturally, Aunt Lan knew that the little eunuch was here to report the news, so she took the little eunuch into the main hall of Chenghua Palace without making a sound.

At this time, a beautiful woman in a green palace dress was sitting in the main hall, with an anxious expression on her face.

"Your Majesty! Xiao Shengzi is here."

"Let him in quickly." Concubine Xian stood up from the chair, took two quick steps, and then stopped.

"Slave Xiao Shengzi sees the virtuous concubine! Madam Wanan!" Xiao Shengzi fell to his knees as soon as he entered.

"What do you say in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?" Concubine Xian was already very anxious, who cares about these empty etiquette?

Xiao Shengzi talked about the important things in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and explained clearly that the two adults were taken to Dali Temple.

When Concubine Xian heard that her father had entered Dali Temple, she rolled her eyes and was about to faint.

"Oh! Ma'am, send the imperial physician!" Aunt Lan shouted in panic.

Xiao Shengzi was startled, he got up tremblingly, and was about to call for someone outside.

Concubine Xian supported Aunt Lan and forced herself to wake up, "Don't shout! Hurry up and help Ben Gong get up, I will write a handwritten letter, and you can find a way to send it to Wanfu."

Concubine Xian leaned against Aunt Lan, panting heavily.The two returned to the study, and the pen and ink had already been prepared.

"My lord! Another letter came!" Ming Mo hurried into the main room, where Gu Chengyu was writing and drawing on the table.

These are officials in the DPRK, and he needs to find a breakthrough from them.

Gu Chengyu threw down the brush and took the letter.

After reading it, Gu Chengyu looked very solemn.Now that Guo Shi has produced evidence, the next step may be to temporarily imprison Dali Temple and search the two prefectures.Regardless of whether the two adults were framed or not, there must be criminal evidence in the mansion.

Once you enter Dali Temple, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die.Few people can resist the punishment of Dali Temple.

It's okay if it's true, these candidates at most only need to take the exam again, but what if it is framed?

Among them, Wan Xuenian is not young, if he can't bear it, he will be beaten into a trick.That non-existent matter will definitely point out some people, and his situation is very dangerous.

Besides, Concubine Xian said that Guo Shi belonged to Xia Qing.He is Liang Zhirui's closed disciple, and he is also an examinee from the Northland. Will those people come to kill him with one blow and solve his potential threat by the way?
Suddenly, he thought of the box, and a plan came to his mind.

"Mingyan, hurry up and find out where the Zhuangzi of Wan Mansion and Song Mansion are. Don't ask too many questions, and send more people there."

Gu Chengyu thought of those boxes, if all the boxes can be stored in the space, without the so-called dirty money, then as long as he finds a way, he can always solve the problems after that.

But he also knew that it must be too late, there must be more than one Zhuangzi of a big family.

There must be several Zhuangzi in the dowry of the women's family members in their house. Not to mention the long distance, he must look for them one by one, and he must not be able to keep up with the speed of those officials.

Asking Mingyan to look for it is a late mover, it would be great if he can catch up with the front.Too late, then there is a second-hand preparation.

He had a bold guess. He always felt that this fraud case would not be so simple. It might just be incidental to clean up the third prince's natal family. Those boxes reminded him of the first prince.

Hu Maoshen and the others stared at the eldest prince so closely, but they couldn't find evidence.The money is definitely not going to be used, so we can only watch it, otherwise it won't be more than two years, and it will still be in our hands.

Could the boxes in the other courtyard be put in by the First Prince?The purpose is to attract attention and make Hu Maoshen divert his attention and even the target.

Gu Chengyu is completely conditioned now, as soon as he hears about the big box, he thinks of the gold and silver of the eldest prince.

Regardless of whether his guess is true or not, there is always a way for Hu Maoshen. If it is true, the cooperation between the two will have their own benefits.

Hu Maoshen is not a fool if he can be the left deputy capital censor.Why should people trust him to verify that the batch of money was put in by the eldest prince?

Also, if it was really a trick set up by the eldest prince, then what method did the eldest prince use to attract Hu Maoqing?
Gu Chengyu rubbed his temples, he got too little news, the only news he got was the letter.Without knowing the connection in the middle, it is very difficult for him to think of a way.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

Perhaps there is no need to lure Hu Maoshen over. Hu Maoshen has investigated the eldest prince for more than two years, but he has not caught the elder prince's handle. This time the eldest prince may also close the bandit case in Fengding Mansion that year.

Isn't this a great opportunity?In order to earn money, Wan Xuenian leaked the exam questions.In the past, the bandit cases that roamed around in various prefectures and cities could be planted on Wan Xuenian, and evidence of these crimes could be found in the mansion.

And what is the purpose of collecting money?Of course it is for recruiting troops!Wan Xuenian is the third prince's grandfather, so he must have been instructed by the third prince.

Even if Hu Maoshen knew that this was the work of bandits, so what if it was the eldest prince who did it?
He has no evidence at hand, and speaks empty words, can the emperor trust him?It is a serious crime to slander the prince, not to mention that the eldest prince is very favored.
