Xin Gui stopped in the middle of the road for a long time, and did not smile: "Lord Mu is really brave, I heard that the person who made the reverse poem was arrested, this is to be sent to the palace and the emperor for personal interrogation?"

Mu Bai gritted his teeth, he was not a fool, after thinking about it, he felt that things were too strange, this must have been a trick used by the Tai Lieutenant, so that he thought that he had arrested the person of the Xin family, but he didn't expect it to be the person recommended by Lord Shoufu, how can this be good?

"It seems that this matter is not the turn of the official to report to you, get out of the way, delay the serious matter, be careful of your head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mu Bai said angrily with a dark face. In the end, he is a minion, and he can't let him mess up.

Xin Gui naturally knew his status, smiled and gave way, and respectfully excused himself: "The adults are angry, how dare the small ones stand in the way of the adults, just happen to pass by, the adults have important matters, and the small ones will not delay you." ”

Mu Bai glared at him before leaving, and hurried to Qiu Mansion with Yao Yan.

Qiu Wanao was already angry because of Qiu Ji and Miss Li's affairs, and when he saw Mu Bai, he learned that it was Yao Shi who was arrested, and he blew his beard angrily and glared at him.

"Since you are the person I recommended, why do you live in the Xin family's courtyard?" Qiu Wanao was very unkind to Yao Shi, his eyes were full of suspicion, could it be that this Yao Shi is a thing that eats inside and out, and wants to please both sides?

Yao Shi hurriedly explained: "The adults misunderstood, a month ago, by chance, the little girl and the young master of the Xin family became worshippers, and privately called him the second brother.

It was also the little girl who was not thoughtful, thinking that she already owed you a favor, how could I trouble the door again, and there was no travel and accommodation, so I went to the Xin family courtyard in a hurry.

No one knew about this, the little girl really didn't expect that she was framed as the one who wrote the poem, the adult, the little girl was really wronged, and asked the adult to make the decision for the little girl. ”

She burst into tears and was miserable, Mu Bai broke out in a cold sweat, at that time, he only thought it was the Xin family, and he was sentenced first without saying a word, but now the situation is completely the opposite, how can he believe that it was Yao Xian's doing, even if it is true, he has to say that it is not.

"My lord forgives me, Xia Guan was also confused and used for a while, Miss Yao was personally recommended by you, it is impossible to do such a thing, Xia Guan will let people -----"

Qiu Wanao had a cold face, "I'm afraid that if you release people now, the emperor will have to ask you in front of you." ”

"What do you mean----- the Xin family has already reached the emperor's ears?" Mu Bai shuddered when he thought of this, how can this be good.

Qiu Wanao is also the first assistant no matter what he said, and he didn't have much panic on his face, but just snorted coldly: "The surname Xin wants to join me, do you really think that I will be helpless, you take her into the palace, I want to see what kind of waves the little emperor can make." ”

Mu Bai was a little relieved when he heard this, and since Shoufu said this, he did so, and immediately escorted Yao Shi away.

Yao Xi never said a word more, until he was about to leave the house, when he saw Wei Za, he glanced at him, Wei Za understood, stepped forward and bowed his hand to Mu Bai: "My lord, our young master has something to ask her, and please make it convenient for my lord, just delay for a moment, and the person will be sent back immediately." ”

After a slight hesitation, Mu Bai nodded in agreement, and ordered the two officials to follow, and before he could wait for a moment, Yao Xi was brought back again, and Wei Za repeatedly saluted and thanked him.

Zhuang Yan was bored listening to the news from all over the place, and a eunuch hurriedly stood in front of him, and when the young boy saw this, he immediately hid in the dark.

The eunuch walked to Zhuang Yan and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has brought the traitor into the palace and asked the emperor to interrogate him personally." ”

Zhuang Yan threw away the fish material in his hand, got up with a smile and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Although Yao Shi guessed probly, he was still shocked when he really saw that the Ninety-Five Venerable was actually a teenager who was not a few years older than him.

Even the three-year-old child knows the situation of today's son, Shoufu and Taiwei control the situation of the court on the left and right, although it is balanced, but the little emperor does not have much real power, and he is a veritable puppet emperor.

But is he really willing to be a puppet played by two old men? Yao Yan looked at Zhuang Yan fixedly, only afraid that in time, the little emperor would finally take back his own rights.

Mu Bai saluted and said the purpose of entering the palace this time, "Your Majesty, the lower officials have already captured the person who did the reverse poetry this time, thinking about the important matter, the lower officials do not dare to make judgments, and the emperor is invited to interrogate this person in person." ”

Zhuang Yan looked at Yao Yan with a smile, and the latter's eyes were also locked on him, and some resentment could be clearly seen in his eyes, good girl, she really didn't take me as an emperor.

The eunuch waiting next to him noticed Yao Shi's gaze, and his face sank and he said, "Bold, how can you peep at the emperor's holy face?"

Yao Yan obediently lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhuang Yan waved his hand to signal the eunuch to shut up, and then asked Mu Baidao: "She's just a little girl, Jing Zhaoyin is sure that this person is a traitor?"

Mu Bai looked embarrassed: "Xia Guan also feels strange, to be honest, this woman is an apprentice who has just been recommended to Yangshan Academy by Lord Shoufu, and her name is Yao Shi."

Although Xia Guan felt that the matter was definitely not simple, Lei Zhibiao, the son of the magistrate who came from the same county as this woman, insisted that the poem was written by this woman, and Xia Guan had no other evidence, so he could only arrest him first. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded and said lightly: "Witness." ”

The chief eunuch shouted "Witness", and soon Lei Zhibiao was brought into the main hall, knelt down in the center, and replied cautiously: "Student Lei Zhibiao knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"How can you be sure that she is the poet?" Zhuang Yan's voice was a little stern.

Lei Zhibiao was already afraid of the powerful, so frightened that his hands and feet trembled, if he didn't kneel, he was so afraid that he would fall down immediately.

He took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little before saying: "Back to the emperor, Yao Shi has participated in the county examination, and his father is one of the invigilators. ”

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, and his tone couldn't hear the slightest emotion, "In this case, this woman's crime is unforgivable, she will be sent to the heavenly prison and beheaded on a certain day, as for the matter of her being recommended by the first assistant, the court will discuss it again tomorrow, after all, the stakes are very high, and I need to give an explanation to the ministers." ”

Mu Bai's heart jumped, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials think that there are still doubts in this matter, and it is really difficult to convict based on a few unsubstantiated words. ”

Zhuang Yan thought for a while, seemed to feel reasonable, and asked Lei Zhibiao again: "Do you have evidence? ”

Lei Zhibiao thought for a while and affirmed: "The student has evidence, after the county examination is completed, the test paper is sealed and sent to the prefect's yamen on the spot, and it is impossible to lose it halfway, let alone let people do tricks."

The emperor can send someone to the prefect to inquire, and there must be no Yao Shi's test papers in the county examination papers of Xiaxiang County, because the test papers have already been stolen.

The students thought that this must be Yao Xian, afraid that the poem would bring him death, and secretly sneaked into the prefect's yamen to steal the test papers, but unintentionally leaked the poems, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she was the only one who did not have the test papers. ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Yan really said to Mu Bai: "Jing Zhaoyin immediately sent someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

Mu Bai gave his hand to the order: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Zhuang Yan showed a little tired, "This matter is still suspicious, and the stakes are very high, tomorrow the court will discuss with the ministers, Yao Yan will be put into the prison first and wait for tomorrow's interrogation, and the rest of the people will retreat." ”
