Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 159 Finalization
After dinner, Jiang Changning personally sent the Zhuang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out.

On the way, Jiang Changning said with a smile: "Old lady, you have also seen that there is only one child of the princess in the mansion, and he is quite lonely. If you are free, ask your sister-in-law to bring Nianyun over to play."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuang knew that Jiang Changning intended to promote Liao Shi, so she glanced at Wu Shi and said, let it go, although Liao Shi is a widow, her brain is clearer than this.

"Okay, if you're free, I'll let Brother Wen's daughter-in-law bring Nian Yun over. However, Wangfei, you have to take good care of yourself and give birth to a boy and a half girl for the prince." The old lady Zhuang laughed.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "Princess, I have a secret formula for conceiving a child, and I will send it to you tomorrow."

"The eldest lady is interested, there is no need for that." Jiang Changning said flatly.

If there is a secret recipe for childbirth, Mrs. Wu should use it for Mrs. Liao first, so that Mrs. Zhuang Jiwen will not die of illness for several years, Mrs. Wu will still hate Mrs. Liao for not giving birth to a son for Mrs. Zhuang Jiwen.

When they arrived at Yimen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family got into the carriage.

After leaving the palace, the old lady Zhuang said with a straight face: "If you don't know how to speak from now on, just shut up."

"I didn't say anything." Wu Shi looked confused.

"Stupid and unaware." Mrs. Zhuang scolded.

Wu Shi didn't argue stubbornly, but bowed her head and wrung the handkerchief vigorously, obviously she was not convinced in her heart.

The old lady Zhuang leaned on the brocade mat, closed her eyes and rested her mind. She has taught for so many years, but she has not learned it.

Back home, Mrs. Zhuang called someone to investigate the matter.

Jiang Changning was also investigated. If he didn't investigate, he wouldn't know about it.

The bet between the two will be publicized, and Zou Jiashen is among them.

When Mrs. Wu found out, she was so angry that she had a fight with Mrs. Zou.

Knowing that her mother was injured, Zhuang Qingru came back to visit, "Could it be a mistake? Second Aunt's doing this will not do her any good?"

"You idiot, Mrs. Zou can't see how good our big house is. Your brother Qiuwei made a mistake and got into the blue list, but as long as Chunwei passes the exam, he can still enter the court as an official. And Ji Deng has already failed the list. Three years later, He may not be able to pass the exam, he is hopeless in the imperial examination, of course she doesn't want to see Zico's glory."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qingru felt that it made sense, "I didn't expect Second Aunt to be this kind of person."

"She is this kind of person, and she doesn't even think about it. Cairen is in the palace, and he has to rely on his brothers to support him outside."

The mother and daughter fought against Mrs. Zou, and Mrs. Zou scolded Mrs. Wu while looking at the wounds on her face in the mirror, "Ms. Tiger, you are so ruthless, ouch, it hurts me to death."

The maid came in and said, "Second Madam, the old lady told you to come over."

"What's the matter? Tell me to come over all day long." Zou complained, but she didn't dare not to go.

Mrs. Zhuang looked at her little daughter-in-law who was full of injuries, and frowned, "Did you get caught in the door? Don't do serious things, just do nonsensical things."

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with my daughter-in-law. I didn't go around talking about Brother Ke's betting with others." Zou argued.

"Yes, you didn't talk about it everywhere. You went back to your mother's house and told your two sisters-in-law. You knew that they didn't have a clue, but you still told them about it. Zico has no future, you Think you can get it right? You can’t write two Zhuang characters in one stroke.”

"My daughter-in-law knows her mistake, but she will not dare in the future."

The old lady Zhuang snorted coldly, "You say you don't dare, but you are bold when you do things. If you want to have this leisure time, why don't you think about how to inquire about the talented people in the palace."

"My mother went to the palace yesterday, why don't you ask the princess about it?"

"The princess said that she didn't enter the palace for some days, so she didn't know about Cairen's situation."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the princess is really too. After all, Cai Ren is also her cousin, and she doesn't care too much." Zou complained.

"The princess has her own considerations when doing things, so don't talk about it here." The old lady Zhuang was even more unhappy, "Get out."

None of the two daughters-in-law made her feel at ease, and neither of them could support the family business. Oh, she is really a hard worker.

Zou curled her lips, bowed in salute, and withdrew, her face full of indifference.

Days passed, and ten days later, the matter of Qiu Wei in Sichuan Province was finally concluded.

Several officials who were dispatched to Chengdu hurried back to the capital.

In the early court of this day, Zuodu Censor Ben wrote: "After comparing more than a thousand examination papers of this township examination one by one, the capital of the seven examination papers that were re-examined showed traces of being cut."

"Who did it?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

"The one who changed the top exam paper of Chengdu Qiuwei was a boy named Feng Jin from Chengdu.

The facts of this case are not complicated. It is just that a few rich men with money but no talent, bribed academic and political officials, and successfully passed the county examination, hospital examination, and even the township examination.

It was also because of their audacity that they moved the top exam paper.

If it was someone who was at the bottom of the rankings, they might not be able to find out, and they would successfully seize the identity of the candidates.

All the academic and political officials who participated in this matter had no family property registration, and those rich men did not end well, and were sentenced to be executed after autumn.

Tan Shidu was also implicated due to poor supervision and was demoted three levels in a row.

The few students whose exam papers were replaced regained their due rankings, but the dust of this raucous case of cheating in the rural examination has not yet been settled.

"According to Feng Jin's confession, the reason why the Feng family was able to establish a relationship with Chen Xuezheng was all due to Jiao Langzhong, the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Jiao Langzhong also received a heavy gift from the Feng family."

The rank of officials in Qing Dynasty officials is not high, only the fifth rank officials.

But Jiao Lang has a noble relative, and his daughter is married to the son of Uncle Changyu, who is also the brother of the concubine of King De.

To be honest, it is also reasonable to insist on linking the Jiao family and the Prince De's mansion.

In-laws' in-laws are also relatives.

The emperor is not very clear about this kind of relationship.

But King Ding knew that he felt that this might be an opportunity to attack Prince De's Mansion. Prince De's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion had a good relationship.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the most important thing for the imperial court to select talents. How can you let Xiaoxiao people take advantage of such loopholes? Jiao Langzhong is just a small fifth-rank official. How can he have such ability to let people who study politics in the local Take orders from him. I think that the Qiu Wei in Sichuan Province is probably just the tip of the iceberg, and I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and pay it back to the students of the world."

After some rhetoric, the righteousness is awe-inspiring.

The emperor knew very well that King Ding was not the kind of man who would take care of the world, so he suddenly said such words, it was evocative.

"Uncle Wang's words are justified, and I will leave this matter to Uncle Wang." The emperor took advantage of the situation and entrusted Wang Ding with a heavy responsibility.

After retiring from the court, he called King Ding to ask why.

"Your Majesty, I don't think this matter should be handed over to Prince Ding." An official came out and said.

This official's surname is Chen and his name is Hui. He works in the Ministry of Punishment. He has always done things upright and fair. He is not from the Jin Dynasty. The emperor is still willing to listen to his opinion. "What's wrong?"
