Even if she didn't take the first exam on Tuesday, Xu Wenxin had to pull Lin Xiaojue off the horse, and now Lin Xiaojue's students are still blocking Xue Shipan's way, which is simply unbearable, Xu Wenxin immediately got in touch with Lord Chen, and called a few of his proud protégés, targeting Tuesday and Xu Biao, saying that they bribed the examiner, and Wang Weizhao leaked the question.

On the second day, the impeachment of Wang Weizhao fell like snowflakes on the cabinet table.

Wang Weizhao wanted to avoid suspicion, and offended Lord Chen, and no one helped him to deal with it, and these twists and turns were soon presented in front of the prince.

More than thirty people were mentioned.

Rao is prince has seen the world, and he is also frightened by these twists and turns, he has not yet ascended the throne, and the first talent selection since the prison of the country, he encountered this kind of thing, it is really unlucky.

The prince called Han Gang with a dark face.

Although Han Gang is not the first assistant, in the matter of Liyan, he knows that Han Gang has done much more for him than Lord Chen, so he trusts Han Gang.

He said, "What do you think of the cheating case?

Han Gang has told the truth, "The first and fourth places and more than a dozen others are all apprentices of Princess Yong'an, and Weichen thinks that with Princess Yong'an's temperament, it is not enough to do this kind of thing." ”

"Does it have anything to do with my cousin?" the prince nodded after speaking, his cousin was very ambitious, and he heard that he had taken in several apprentices, and it turned out that the matter was coming at her.

He raised his head and said, "Then, according to your lordship's opinion, who should be sent to investigate this case thoroughly?"

Regardless of whether Lin Xiaojue's candidates cheated or not, the exam fraud case must also be investigated, otherwise the officials will not accept it and will lose the support of the people.

Han Dadao: "Only if it is handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, there is no conflict of interest with anyone." ”

Lu Hong of Dali Temple is a very fair person, but Lord Han has a lot of eyes, Lu Hong has dealings with Lin Xiaojue, don't let Lin Xiaojue not clear it up at that time, and put Lu Hong's reputation into it, he had a premonition that someone dug a trap for Lin Xiaojue, and he had to guard against it.

And Jinyiwei has Li Guxin, everyone knows that it is Princess Yongan's fiancé, let alone it.

The prince groaned and nodded: "The palace will let the eunuchs of Dongchang supervise and interrogate, and we must find out." ”

The prince's will was soon issued, and the squire of the criminal department and the eldest father-in-law of Dongchang arrested Wang Weizhao, and as for the candidates who offered bribes, because they had not yet been interrogated, they only controlled the operation for the time being, and did not put them in prison.

The news spread quickly.

After Xu Wenxin and others finished complaining, they were waiting for who the interrogator was.

Today, Lord Chen also arrived, plus Lord Xue, and the three of them sat around the case in Xu Wenxin's study.

Xu Wenxin said: "I thought that the prince would order Dali Temple to review, but I didn't expect it to be handed over to the Criminal Department and Dongchang. ”

Handed over to the Criminal Department, it can be said that Dongchang has investigated and leaked the case, no matter how you look at it, there is no precedent, but Dongchang, like Jinyiwei, is a secret agency, and there is a reason to handle any case, and it can't be said.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still idle.

Lord Xue said: "The prince should be to avoid suspicion, after all, Dali Siqing seems to have a relationship with Princess Yong'an." ”

Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Yongan is willing to fight lawsuits, several times a year, all of which are judged by Lu Hong, and in the end, Princess Yongan won, doesn't this explain the problem?

Xu Wenxin lowered her eyelids and said, "Princess Yong'an should be glad that the crown prince did not assign Lu Hong, otherwise none of them would want to be innocent." ”

He thought that it would be Lu Hong's trial, and he had already thought about inserting a crime for Lu Hong, but now that he sees that he can't use it, he is a little unwilling.

Lord Chen is the most pragmatic, he needs to knock Lin Xiaojue down first, and then step by step. So now I have to get in touch with Xu Wenxin.

He had long expected that the prince would not assign Lu Hong to try the case, and the prince would also be partial to Princess Yong'an.

However, the prince is an understanding person, although he is partial, he is very fair on the face.

"But the people in the Criminal Department and Dongchang will not show favoritism, we haven't found evidence that Princess Yong'an's students bribed Wang Weizhao, can it be counted just because Xu Biao asked to see Cheng Tao? I'm afraid that they won't be convicted in the end. ”

Xu Wenxin said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of this, do you really think that you have to be convicted?" Even if there is suspicion, this kind of reputation is difficult to gain a foothold in Shilin, no matter how the interrogation is, as long as public opinion is created, they will not have the face to continue the palace test." ”

In other words, it is not necessary to condemn them, but to ruin their reputation, and it is okay not to let them take the temple test.

Lord Chen nodded secretly, Xu Wenxin's trick is too shady, who let them really have no evidence to correct people for bribing and buying exam questions.

Xu Wenxin then talked about the deployment, and a quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Lord Chen heard almost everything, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when he looked at Lord Xue before leaving: "My lord, why are you depressed? ”

Lord Xue said again and again that no.

Master Chen didn't ask questions, and under the guidance of his subordinates, he left the study.

After he left, Xu Wenxin looked at Lord Xue: "Do you have something on your mind? Why did you start to say a word? The expression in the back became more and more heavy, are you afraid that we won't be able to defeat the two people in front of Thirteen? Don't worry, Thirteen is not only your son, but also my hard work, I won't let him be wronged, we must earn a champion back." ”

Lord Xue said that it was okay, and nodded, and his heart was indeed different, until the matter really broke out, Xu Wenxin planned to create public opinion to kill the killer, he began to worry, that child, is also his son, by Xu Wenxin like this, his son's future will be ruined.

In the flower hall in the depths of the flowers, the wall lamps are like beans, illuminating the room as if it were daytime, the case is finally out, and everyone can't sleep.

Lin Xiaojue asked them what they thought.

Surprisingly, no one naively thinks that they will sit upright and rest easy.

It is said that it should not be taken lightly.

Steward Tian and Li Guxin stood behind and listened, the two looked at each other, Steward Tian looked meaningful, and said in a low voice: "I learned from the princess." ”

It's already a human being.

Li Guxin has never underestimated Lin Xiaojue, and her students, of course, should not be underestimated.

Everyone has a sense of crisis, Lin Xiaojue feels very relieved, so he dares to let them go in the court, after all, the scholar is angry, and he can't live long.

However, we still have experienced few things, and we don't know how many difficulties we will encounter, and we don't know what countermeasures we have.

Lin Xiaojue said: " Obviously, Xu Biao gave Wang Weizhao the money to buy the road, and we didn't give it, why even impeached us together, I suspected that Lord Chen did it before, but Chen Boyan took the sixth exam, squeezed out three people, and he was strong enough to enter the top three, and he didn't have much confidence in the top three, but Xue Shipan is different, so I'm sure, Lord Chen, and Xue Shipan are on the side, they join forces to destroy us, and there is no evidence, so you can only let public opinion go, let us be ashamed to see people, and let the three of them become tigers, so that no matter what the truth of the matter is, you can't participate in the palace exam。 ”

Although everyone has shallow experience, public opinion knows that it can kill a person.

Bai Ziqi said: "But the mouth of the people is like the defense of the river. He was very excited before, and then he was a little frustrated: "If public opinion is really formed, we can't say what we are suffering from, do we have to suffer such a dumb loss?"

Lin Xiaojue looked at Tuesday: "Second brother, what do you mean?"

Tuesday won the first place this time, and it is very likely that he will be named the champion, if he can't solve this matter, his official career will be worried.

There was only a little nervousness on Tuesday's face, but because he was named by Lin Xiaojue, he was not afraid of public opinion, he slowly spoke: "If others can create public opinion, we can too." ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned, and didn't some things get darker the more they explained? Obviously, public opinion that slanders people will always be easier to believe and more likely to arouse the interest of others than public opinion that clarifies.

Lin Xiaojue looked at everyone: "Do you really think that the second brother can't think of this?"

Is their mind written on their faces? Everyone looked up and looked at each other.

Immediately, Cheng Tao was the first to clap his hands: "I know." ”

Bai Ziqi and the others nodded one after another.

Steward Tian frowned and asked Li Guxin beside him: "What does the second brother mean? How can I listen to it in the clouds? Can I keep our reputation?"

Li Guxin put his arm around Steward Tian's shoulders and said with a smile: "Uncle Tian, we don't want to protect our reputation, we want to ruin our reputation, isn't the other party trying to create public opinion and say that we buy the questions? ”

Steward Tian's eyes lit up when he realized something.
