Prosperous advisors

Chapter 631 Unforgivable crime (3)
Nangong Yi glanced at the crowd with some pity, and said in a deep voice: "Leaking out the imperial examination questions is a crime and should be punished. Selling for profit will increase the crime, and everyone will be executed for copying!"

"Mu Xiang, please forgive me! I know I was wrong." Zuo Shilang cried with snot and tears, and he was still crying in a mess after he was over half a century old.If she saw this scene normally, Mu Qingyi would probably soften her heart, but now Mu Qingyi has no intention of softening her heart at all.Dare to move one's brains to the imperial examination, this is no longer audacious.

"Take it down." Mu Qingyi said calmly.

Soon, guards came in and pulled all these people out.The hall was silent for a moment, and the Minister of Rites looked at Mu Qingyi tremblingly, "Mr. Mu..." Mu Qingyi sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty should handle the rest of the matter, but the imperial examination is tomorrow, my lord. Better get ready."

The Minister of Rites was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu." The Minister of Rites understood that the matter of Mr. Mu reminded him that His Majesty had not taken away his position as Minister of Rites.As long as you do your best and do well in this imperial examination, you will be rewarded for your sins. Maybe there is still room for change at this time.

Mu Qingyi stood up and said, "That's it, I'm bothering you with the truth, so I'll take my leave first. Lord Nangong, Yutang, I leave this place to you."

"Yes, send Mu Xiang off respectfully." The three stood up and said.

The day before the imperial examination, the capital city was also full of wind and rain.In the evening of the same day, many students who took the exam were taken away by the sudden intrusion of officials.For a moment, all the students were a little panicked.This is not a good thing for the imperial examination.

"What's the matter?"

In the Fuyun Inn, two students were also taken away.The students from the entire inn left their rooms and gathered in the lobby downstairs, clamoring.

"Yeah, why was Brother Sun arrested?" Someone asked anxiously, "Could it be that something happened?"

"I heard that someone from another inn was also taken away. I'm afraid something serious happened." I don't know who said that, and everyone suddenly became more uneasy.

Lin Jingyu and the others sat in a corner, looked at the peaceful faces of Ye Menglong and Xu Zhengyuan who were sitting beside them, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you worried?"

Ye Menglong smiled and said, "Let's take the exam in a safe manner, so what is there to worry about?"

Lin Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, and if she realized something, "You mean..."

Xu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "Brother Lin, haven't you noticed? The families of the people who were taken away are all very good. And..."

Lin Jingyu and Yun Yuefeng couldn't help but fell silent, and they already understood something in their hearts.Lin Jingyu leaned next to Ye Menglong, and said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Ye and Brother Xu, the background of the two should not be simple, right? Otherwise, how would you know this?" At a loss, how can they be so calm and composed like these two?

Ye Menglong rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Is this... so-so."

Lin Jingyu snorted softly and left him with some dissatisfaction.He felt that the two were not friends enough, but he was just curious and didn't really want to inquire about their families, so it passed.Seeing Yun Yuefeng next to him looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about, brother Yun?" Yun Yuefeng put down his teacup and said with a faint smile, "I was thinking...the one with extraordinary background should be that Mr. Mu."

Ye Menglong and Xu Zhengyuan looked at each other, and they couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat.No wonder Mu Xiang valued this man, he was really smart.Lin Jingyu was a little puzzled, why didn't he see that there was anything extraordinary about Mr. Mu, he was just a handsome young master.Yun Yuefeng shook her head, also a little puzzled and didn't talk too much.

"There is news. Just now, His Majesty ordered someone to pass the decree. The ministers of the Ministry of Rites colluded with his officials and leaked the test questions. Those who were arrested had bought the test questions. His Majesty's decree was posted outside the tribute courtyard. Everyone, go and have a look!" The person who went out to inquire about the news came back in a hurry and shouted.Soon, people in the lobby rushed out and ran towards the Gongyuan.Lin Jingyu looked at the other three, "Shall we go too?"

Yun Yuefeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Ye Menglong smiled and said, "Brother Lin and Brother Yun, let's go first, so we won't join in the fun."

Yun Yuefeng didn't say much, but took a deep look at the two of them, and dragged Lin Jingyu away who was still about to talk.

"Brother Xu, do you think he has guessed our identities?" Ye Menglong asked worriedly.

Xu Zhengyuan shook his head and said, "He hasn't seen us, so it's unlikely." If they were students, even if they were thinking about it, they still couldn't figure out that when the prime minister could send officials from the court to pretend to be ordinary students to mix with these people Inquire about news.Ye Menglong thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right." In the whole world, there must not be many people who can think as strangely as Mu Xiang.

"Lord Ye, Master Xu." When everyone was gone, a man in gray clothes appeared in front of the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Master Mu has ordered that you two can leave here tonight." Both of them let go Tone, it will be troublesome if they are really asked to enter the Tribute Academy for the exam.Let alone whether it is illegal to take the exam repeatedly, just say that if one is unlucky and fails to pass the exam, it would be ridiculous and generous.

The two nodded happily, "Thank you, Mu Xiang."

The man in gray looked at the two of them, and continued: "Mr. Mu said, please rest well tonight, and go to the Tribute Academy with him to invigilate the exam tomorrow."

Click!The two turned their heads to look at each other with stiff necks. There are quite a few candidates who have seen them in the past two days. If they are recognized by then...

On the notice board at the gate of the Gongyuan, there is a bright yellow imperial decree and a red imperial seal on it, which shows the authenticity of the content written on this bright yellow silk and the authority of the emperor.After reading the imperial decree, many people couldn't help but curse, and some people shouted that your Majesty is holy.Rong Yang stood in the crowd with some embarrassment. Although he had been among these students for a long time, he was not so easy to get used to. Yang was still a little uncomfortable.Looking at the long string of names written on the imperial decree, as well as the inscriptions such as copying and beheading, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my scalp.

"Cousin." Withdrew from the crowd, just in time to see Nangong Yi, who was also dressed in common clothes, standing not far away and looking at him.Rong Yang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over and shouted.Nangong Yi took a look at Rong Yang's appearance, nodded and smiled and said: "Not bad, there is still some appearance." Rong Yang smiled helplessly, Nangong Yi patted his shoulder and smiled: "Your mother and concubine asked me to come and see you , Seeing that you are still used to it, it looks... not bad?"

Rong Yang nodded and said: "It's okay. Cousin, what if I..." These days, Rong Yang has also met a lot of candidates and students, many of whom are talented people, and Rong Yang really has no confidence in himself .Nangong Yi smiled and said: "Do your best, you didn't study this in the first place, even if you fail the exam, no one will blame you."
