Chapter 321

What are you laughing at?
Laughing at him being scolded by His Royal Highness for being brainless?

Zhou Fu felt that his heart was getting cold.

Emperor Jingwen knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help it.

He thought, his son is really talented, and he has done what he, as an old man, wanted to do for so many years but dared not do.

Scold the censor!
It has always been only the censor who scolded people, how could they be scolded, he, the emperor, has opened his eyes today.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingwen suddenly remembered that he also had a son who seemed to be more capable and dared to fight the imperial censor!
It seems that the censor who was beaten back then was Zhou Fu.

It's over, he wants to laugh even more when he thinks about it.

All the courtiers below were dumbfounded, thinking what did His Majesty think of, worthy of his joy?

Besides, all the questions in the scientific examination have been missed, what a big deal, how can I still be happy!
Could it be that His Majesty... is mad with anger?

Seeing the different expressions of the ministers, E Qing was so anxious that he wanted to pinch Emperor Jingwen at the risk of losing his head. He thought that if His Majesty continued to laugh, the minister would go crazy.

But "laughing" is very strange, the more I want to bear it, the more I can't bear it.

In the end, Emperor Jingwen simply gave up his disguise, and he didn't block his hand down, but he was very happy.

As for the ministers, just stand below and watch him have fun.

That scene was as weird as it could be.

When he had had enough laughs, Emperor Jing Wen said as if nothing had happened: "Cough...what did I just say?"

Perhaps it was because Emperor Jing Wen couldn't stop laughing, which made Zhou Fu feel full of malice, and when he spoke again, he was obviously more polite than Fang Cai.

"Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, it is not appropriate for His Royal Highness to interfere in this matter."

Emperor Jingwen looked at Fu Yunmo who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and threw the question to him: "Prince, what do you think?"

Fu Yunmo didn't answer, and returned the question: "I will obey the arrangement of my father."

Emperor Jingwen: "..."

This son is very ruthless when dealing with the censor, but he doesn't seem to know how to show mercy when facing his own father.

Pretentiously thinking about it, Emperor Jingwen's original intention remained unchanged: "I believe that the prince will not cover up for personal gain, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will try this case with him, so there will be no mistakes."

Zhou Fu wanted to say more, but remembering Emperor Jingwen's smile just now, he swallowed back the words when he got to his lips.

Sigh... If I don't talk about it, I will be scolded and laughed at once.

He was silent, and others naturally would not speak easily.

"Three days, after three days, I will have the results." After speaking, Emperor Jingwen felt a "thump" in his heart.

He said in his heart that according to the prince's behavior style, if there is not enough time, he would have to quit the job and just find two scapegoats?
Inexplicably, Emperor Jingwen felt that his concubines were in danger.

Fearing that Fu Yunmo really committed a foolish act for a while, after the ministers had dispersed, Emperor Jingwen specially kept him here.

"Father, what else do you want to order?"

"These three days... I said it to put pressure on those ministers. You have to know it in your heart. The deadline is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to find out the truth."

"My son understands."

"Are you sure you understand?" Emperor Jing Wen seemed a little worried: "What I said is the truth."

Seeing him emphasizing the word "truth" over and over again, Fu Yunmo guessed that he must have been psychologically shadowed by his scapegoating before, and he was afraid that he would do the same this time.

He thought it was funny in his heart, but he pretended to be serious: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and let you know the whole truth."

"That's good."

"If you have no other orders, I will leave first."

Walking out of the imperial study, Fu Yunmo saw Fu Yunsheng nervously standing not far away waiting for him.

Seeing him coming out, he immediately greeted him: "It's over, it's over, it's over! Something happened! How will it end now?"

Fu Yunmo was very calm, and his focus was completely different from that of Fu Yunsheng: "Where's the money?"

"What do you care about money at this time! Of course, life is the most important thing!"

"If you have money, your life will be saved, if you lose a penny, you will die."

Fu Yunsheng wanted to cry but had no tears: "When is this, you are still so penny-pinching!"

Fu Yunmo ignored him and walked to the East Palace.

"Hey! You're leaving just like that? Don't you care about me?"

What responded to him was Fu Yunmo's determined back.

Fu Yunsheng was furious and kicked the small stone beside his feet: "Who is this? Kill him as soon as he gets rid of the grind... Cough! It's too much!"

But even if Fu Yunmo went too far, Fu Yunsheng didn't have the guts to reveal his affairs, so he could only bear it alone with fear, and the guards who passed by thought that Emperor Jingwen sent him to arrest him.

Trembling all the way back to Prince Cheng's mansion, he couldn't leave behind closed doors.

*
On the other side, the Jinwu Guard detained all the students who came to Chang'an City to rush for the exam.

This is Fu Yunmo's additional order based on Emperor Jingwen's.

Needless to say, the dozens of Xie Yuan were not included, but there were some clever people who bought the questions and answered a few wrong ones on purpose, so everyone was detained.

It is worth mentioning that among Jieyuan, there are Duan Zhao, Song Shuyun, and Nanlu.

When Duan Zhao was taken away by Jin Wuwei, the old lady almost fainted.

Fortunately, the person who came was the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard, Fu Yan, Duan Yinwei's husband.

He specifically told the commander that he would take Duan Zhao away.

Both left and right have to be taken away, at least he will take the person away, at least the Duan family will not have to worry that someone will embarrass Duan Zhao.

Just like that, Fu Yan took his uncle away.

As for the Duan family, they couldn't tell what was going on in their minds for a moment, so... one son-in-law ordered to arrest their son, and the other son-in-law came to arrest their son himself.

Zhou supported the old lady and felt a dull pain in her head.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yinwei hurried back to Duan's house, trying to comfort the old lady and Mrs. Zhou.

Duan Yinli, on the other hand, did not show up for a long time.

She was right not to show her face.

After all, Fu Yunmo is now in charge of investigating this matter, and her brother has been implicated, so she has to avoid suspicion.

But even though she didn't come back, she sent a message to Shiyue, asking her to bring a message to the old lady and Zhou Shi.

"Old Madam, Second Madam, the Crown Princess asked the servants to tell you that you don't have to worry about the Eldest Young Master, she..."

Before Shiyue finished speaking, the old lady said clearly: "Is Ah Li afraid that we will cause confusion if we care about it, and let her go to His Royal Highness to intercede? Tell her quickly, and tell her not to do that!
Don't let His Royal Highness feel that she is ignorant and interfering in government affairs.

The clean is self-clear, what Azhao did not do will definitely not be blamed on him, we believe His Royal Highness will be able to find out the truth and return people to innocence. "

Shiyue shook her head: "No, old lady, you think too much."

"Huh?" The old lady was stunned.

"The princess said, don't say that the matter of buying the title must have nothing to do with the eldest son. Even if it is, His Royal Highness will definitely bend the law for personal gain and send him back to the mansion safe and sound."

Duan's family: "..."

Just... I feel a little complicated, and I don't know how to express it for a while.

Thinking of having such a reliable son-in-law, I feel very comforted and at ease.

But when he thought that this son-in-law who practiced favoritism and cheating was actually the crown prince, and Yan Kingdom would be ruled by him in the future, the sense of steadfastness in his heart disappeared completely.

But no matter how you say it, Duan Zhao's safety is at least guaranteed.

He had a clear conscience, so he naturally felt at ease.

Some people are not.

There are those who are restless, and there are also those who are full of resentment.

Song Shuyun was very angry because of this matter: "The omission of questions is so serious, it can be seen that the examination room is not rigorous. Are those officials eating vegetarian meals in the corpses, and there are such big mistakes!"

Duan Zhao didn't tolerate sand in his eyes like him, so he didn't stand up and talk to persuade him without feeling the pain in his back.

It was during the silence that the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

A man dressed as a prison guard shouted: "Duan Zhao! Come out for trial!"

Duan Zhao got up and walked out.

He was led directly into the torture chamber.

As soon as he walked in, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Looking at the mottled blood on the wall and the instruments of torture piled up in the corner, he slowly looked away, thinking that the scene was still within his tolerance.

At least he won't throw up.

The person who interrogated him was the envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Si.

He is not tall, and he has a general's belly on his head. He looks as short and puffy as a embroidered pier.

Chen Si sized up Duan Zhao's eyes, and looked up slightly.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Come here! Serve me with great torture!"
