Be careful, there are fat girls

Chapter 136 Judgment
On the third day of August in the first year of Ruixi in the Great Jin Dynasty, empress Ruixi ascended the throne, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins safely, amnesty to the world.

The next day, the announcement of the emperor's list was posted in every corner of the Great Jin Kingdom. The empress will open Enke on the eighth day of October to select pillars for the country. I hope that people with lofty ideals from all over the world will come to participate in the imperial examination and serve the country.

At that time, the inns of all sizes in the capital were overcrowded, and the merchants and hawkers made a lot of money.

On the eighth day of October, a total of 350 candidates came, and 68 were selected to participate in the palace examination.

And among these 68, except for the No. 65 Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, the remaining [-] were all sent to various parts of the country for experience, and then evaluated and promoted according to their own results.

On October [-]th, the weather was fine. The No. [-] scholar who won the imperial examination was wearing a big red robe, a crown, and a big red flower on his body. He was riding a tall horse. No. [-] and No. [-].

The number one pick is named Wen Sixing, who is 21 years old this year; the second place name is Yan Shao, who is 25 years old this year;

The three of them were young and handsome, looking forward to the sky, and riding on the horse attracted countless cheers and screams from the blushing girls and daughter-in-laws.

After the three of them toured the city, they entered the palace to kowtow to the Empress and gave a banquet on the spot.

Su Qingxi looked at His Highness with a smile and looked at the top three of the three young and promising palace examinations.These three people were selected together by her, Ling Weiyang, Xu Menglin and other senior ministers. They are the best of the best and the best of the best.

Looking closer now, it turns out that the three of them are young and handsome, with an immeasurable future.Especially the number one scholar, Wen Sixing, who is young and handsome, has a calm demeanor and fluent answers, which Su Qingxi appreciates very much.Yan Shao, the second in the list, talks and laughs lively, with a heroic demeanor.Tanhua Gu Qing has an elegant temperament and quick thinking.

And those three people saw that the current empress is so young and beautiful, and they felt infinite admiration in their hearts.

I said some words of encouragement in the middle and gave rewards,
After the banquet, Su Qingxi asked them to go back to their residence and wait for the court to arrange positions for them.

Just when Su Qingxi was thinking about what kind of official position to arrange for them, in the early morning of the second day, Hong Mingyuan, the minister of Dali Temple, suddenly reported a news to the court, which shocked everyone inside and outside the court.

That is the number one scholar Wen Sixing was hangover in the brothel, raped and killed the prostitute Hua Ruyi.

Su Qingxi was startled immediately.

Wen Sixing was the number one scholar she personally selected. Yesterday at the banquet, she also saw a man who behaved well in words and deeds. How could he stay in the brothel that night and even rape and kill the girls in the brothel?

Su Qingxi shook her head, her face full of shock and disbelief.

Is it true that he was mistaken, that this person is a sanctimonious hypocrite?

Or is there something hidden in it?

She sat down slowly and asked, "Where is the man now?"

Dali Temple Minister Hong Mingyuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, because of the sudden incident, the officials who went to arrest him recognized him as the champion of the new department, so they didn't dare to make claims and only brought him back. Now he is in the dungeon inside."

Su Qingxi took a deep breath, but heard Xu Menglin step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wen Sixing wrote a good article, the font is correct and elegant, and the writing is just like him. What's more, the banquet in the palace yesterday, this time People speak and act calmly, advance and retreat according to etiquette, Yi Weichen thinks, I'm afraid there may be something strange in it, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Su Qingxi nodded slowly, and Xu Menglin really thought exactly what she thought.

She said in a deep voice: "Show me the Dali Temple, I want to personally interrogate Wen Sixing."

Along the way, Su Qingxi didn't speak a word, and her face was very ugly. She didn't believe that she sometimes misread it.

Because of her ugly complexion, no one dared to talk to her along the way.

After entering the Dali Temple and winding all the way to the dungeon, Hong Mingyuan broke out in cold sweat.Not long after the empress came to the throne, he was not familiar with her temperament. If she didn't handle one well, the loss of her official position would be small, and it was hard to guarantee her head would not move.

Led Su Qingxi to the prison where Wen Sixing was imprisoned.The thick stone door left only a small opening for delivering meals, and the inside was dark and damp with an unpleasant smell.

Su Qingxi frowned: "Open the door."

Hong Mingyuan didn't dare to say much, and quickly ordered someone to open the door.

The heavy stone door made a dull sound, Su Qingxi lowered his head, and saw a person curled up in the innermost corner, it was Wen Sixing.

He had not taken off his bright red champion uniform, and he was not wearing handcuffs or shackles. His face was still a bit dazed, but he showed no fear at all.

Seeing the door suddenly open, he was startled, and suddenly realized that standing in front of him was the current empress, he quickly turned over and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Criminal Wen Sixing, see Your Majesty."

Su Qingxi looked at him for a long while before slowly saying, "Wen Sixing, are you guilty?"

Wen Sixing paused for a moment, then prostrated himself on the ground and said, "The guilty minister is guilty."

Su Qingxi asked lightly: "What's your crime?"

Wen Sixing said: "Criminal officials shouldn't drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol will cause trouble. Drunkenness will bring disaster to the upper body."

At this time, Hong Mingyuan shouted from the side: "Wen Sixing, you raped and killed the prostitute Hua Ruyi while drunk, and you were caught on the spot. Do you still want to deny it?"

Wen Sixing retorted: "I don't know if my lord can see me kill with my own eyes? What do I use to kill?"

Hong Mingyuan, the Minister of Dali Temple, was about to accuse him, but when he saw Su Qingxi's cold gaze swept over him, he shivered cleverly and took a few steps back.

Su Qingxi looked at Wen Sixing: "You start from the beginning, I want to hear what happened."

Wen Sixing kowtowed his head: "Yes. After the palace banquet yesterday, the guilty minister met with Yan Shao and Gu Qingfeng and went to the Huanqin Building for a drink. The guilty minister was so drunk that he fell unconscious at the time. A girl who accompanied the wine, named Hua Ruyi, was lying naked next to the guilty minister, and had died for a long time. At this moment, the door was knocked open, and more than a dozen yamen servants rushed in, saying that the criminal had raped and killed the criminal Miss, you arrested the guilty minister here without any explanation."

He spoke clearly and without hurry, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

Su Qingxi's face was calm, and he asked lightly: "How can you tell the difference? Can there be evidence to prove your innocence?"

Wen Sixing hesitated for a moment, then said: "The guilty minister was drinking with Yan Shao and Gu Qingfeng at the time, but they were not there afterwards. As for why the criminal minister was in the same room with that girl and pretended to be a murderer, The guilty minister really didn't know. But how could the guilty minister be able to kill people when he was unconscious? So, this is a false accusation."

Hong Mingyuan wanted to jump out to criticize again, and carefully looked at Su Qingxi's face, so he had to stop, but he heard Su Qingxi say: "Biography."

In the event of a murder, Wu Zuo would definitely come there immediately to check the corpse.

Not long after, a man in his forties was summoned, knelt down and said, "The villain Sun Desheng sees Your Majesty."

Su Qingxi glanced at him and asked, "Sun Desheng, did you inspect Hua Ruyi's body?"

Sun Desheng said: "Yes, the villain passed the test. That girl Hua Ruyi did have traces of being raped before she died. The cause of death was suffocation. The time of death was midnight last night."

Only then did Su Qingxi ask Hong Mingyuan: "Did you ask Yan Shao and Gu Qingfeng who were with him last night?"

Hong Mingyuan quickly said: "When the incident happened, I had already summoned those two people to the government office. According to the two people, they drank half of it last night. Gu Qingfeng left early because his family was looking for him. Yan Shao and Wen Sixing Continue to drink, because it is convenient to go to the bathroom on the way, Wen Sixing has disappeared when I come back, I asked the mother in the building, the mother said that Wen Sixing brought Miss Hua Ruyi into the room, so I had to leave by myself. "

Wen Sixing suddenly raised his head and said: "At that time, Gu Qingfeng did have family members looking for him, so he took a step first, but the guilty minister was already drunk after a few drinks, so how could he go into the room with that Hua Ruyi and do such a careless thing? Why strangle her to death?"

Hong Mingyuan snorted coldly: "Then how does this official know? I'm afraid it's because you are too shy to pay the overnight expenses."

With a cold face, Wen Sixing turned over the sleeve robe, took out several ingots of silver and threw them on the ground.

"There's no more than 20 taels of silver here, even if it's a prostitute, it's enough to buy her for one night, right?"

Hong Mingyuan was at a loss for words immediately, and Su Qingxi had a smile in his eyes, but his face was still cold, and he said, "Wen Sixing, you are guilty of a felony now, how dare you be so rude? Are you afraid that I will sentence you to a felony?"

Wen Sixing fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you will never wrong the guilty minister. Although the criminal minister claims to be guilty, it is just that he should not go to the brothel to drink. For the rest, I dare not take the blame."

With a smile on his lips, Su Qingxi said slowly: "Master Hong, I'm afraid you have to thoroughly investigate this matter, because I believe that Wen Sixing is not the murderer."

Hong Mingyuan was stunned for a moment: "The stolen goods were obtained together, how could he not be the murderer?"

Su Qingxi glanced at him lightly, Hong Mingyuan only felt those eyes sweeping across his cheeks like sharp knives, felt a burst of cold sweat on his head, and quickly lowered his head.

I can't help but whisper in my heart, this empress is so powerful!
But I heard Su Qingxi continue to say: "Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. Carefully check everyone who entered and exited the Huanqin Building that night, as well as the old bustard of the brothel. Wen Sixing's behavior before and after drunk What is the behavior? As expected, the bustard must be lying. Also," Su Qingxi paused: "Investigate Yan Shao and Gu Qingfeng carefully."

She lowered her eyes, hoping that it wasn't as expected, otherwise, it would really disappoint her.

Although Hong Mingyuan didn't understand why, he still turned to the servants under his name to do so.

Seeing that he was still in a daze after delivering the order, Su Qingxi smiled slightly: "I'm afraid Mr. Hong thinks that I'm too arbitrary?"

Hong Mingyuan only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat, and he said hastily, "I don't dare."

Su Qingxi smiled softly: "I dare not say it, but I think so in my heart." She sighed softly: "It's not that I am arbitrary, but that I know that even if Wen Sixing wanted to kill someone, he would not use such a method." , because he can't rape and kill a woman at all."

Hong Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, could it be that Wen Sixing is a eunuch?
