Fraud in the field is a very important case, even if it is the queen in the palace, it is difficult to intervene before the matter is clear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The prince came over after a while and said a few words.

He didn't know the details, but he only knew that just yesterday, someone stopped the sedan car of this year's examiner, Master Xu of Hallym University, and complained that Shandong Shizi had obtained the exam questions in advance and had cheated.

This kind of thing, Xu Dashi was dumbfounded when he heard it, he still remembered the big case of fraud in the field more than ten years ago, which simply made the ministers of the DPRK and China suffer, and I don't know how many people cut off their heads, until now the chief examiner and the two deputy examiners are still suffering in Lingnan, and they are not forgiven, and the two deputy examiners are very wronged, and they don't dare to mix with this kind of thing when they give them a hundred guts, and finally admit their guilt and subjugate the law, but it is just helpless. can only use their courtiers to appease the candidates, and by the way, they are angry. If they don't admit it, they won't be innocent, and their families will be implicated.

It is not easy to be an official in the imperial court, and it is also difficult for the examiner.

This time the matter has not yet started, the prince only knows that Qiu Yue, a Shandong scholar who was sued, committed suicide after being arrested by Lord Xu, and he really found the exam question from the house where he was staying, which is actually the exam question of today's science, and look at the ink, not recent, it should have been a while.

If Qiu Yue didn't die, maybe things would take a turn for the better, and it might not necessarily turn into a big case, but his death could scare Lord Xu so much that he almost fainted.

There are naturally means of interrogation, but most of the prisoners, no matter how many punishments they endure, as long as they don't want him to die, the prisoner will definitely not die, now it's good, Qiu Yue, this guy died suddenly, Lord Xu sat on wax, he didn't plan to investigate strictly, but also to investigate, after all, Long Live Lord attached great importance to it and gave him a clear will.

"Why is this matter implicated in the little marquis?"

Hongchen asked with a frown.

"That Qiu Yue is very hard and serious, from Shandong all the way to the capital, every day only knows Wen Shu, the temperament is a little boring, rarely contact with people outside, even the literary meeting and the like are rarely participated, Lord Xu checked and checked, the only one that was found, related to him, and may contact the exam questions, only Xiao Hou Ye, he and Xiao Hou Ye are a little friendly, and the two of them often go to places like Butterfly Tower together."

The prince shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile.

Mrs. Ninghou's face changed when she landed, and she said angrily: "Just because of this? He dared to arrest our family......" Before the words fell, he knew that he had lost his temper, his face turned red, and he hurriedly apologized to the queen.

"It doesn't matter." The queen nodded her son's head, "To make it clear, if the kid in Baiqiao just had some dealings with that Qiu Yue, Master Xu would never take him away directly, didn't he say that someone even sued him?" ”

The crown prince nodded with a gloomy face.

"Yes, the maidservant next to Qiu Yue sued the little marquis, saying that he sold the exam questions to Qiu Yue."

As soon as I saw the look of my mother and the county lord, I knew what they wanted to ask, the prince sighed, "The maid said that she was the little marquis who forcibly asked Qiu Yue to go back, and saw with her own eyes that the little marquis took the exam questions to Qiu Yue, and forced him to help sell them at a high price, she said a lot of things, it sounded true, and there was evidence in her hand, it was the jade pendant that the little marquis was close to, and many people recognized it, knowing that the little marquis once asked the maid to accompany the wine, and praised her for her beautiful appearance and moon appearance, saying that she was her own pink confidant, and her admiration was full of ......"

The queen was speechless.

As for Mrs. Ninghou, she sighed one after another and said with a wry smile: "...... That kid is just playful......"

But he didn't say any more, who here doesn't know Xue Baiqiao's personality? I didn't believe that kid would sell any exam questions, he didn't know how much money he had, he had never valued money, I was afraid that even the emperor knew his character.

The prince sighed, and then relieved: "Madame, don't worry too much, I have already asked Lord Xu, although he searched for the exam questions from Qiu Yue, but he has a withdrawn temperament, and he does not seem to have contact with other candidates alone, although the time is limited, but Lord Xu has also carefully investigated, there should be no large-scale candidates involved, the ranking of this imperial examination is generally the right name of the candidates on weekdays, at least there is no problem with the top three." ”

"As for the candidate who sued, he also said that he overheard Qiu Yue's maid's crying, so he became suspicious, he was a person who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and when he heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation, and he went to sue regardless of it, and he was also scared when he came back to his senses after sueping, and he spoke unclearly, and he looked like a confused person."

"This thing...... It's a bit weird. ”

The queen was silent for a long time, thought about it carefully, and still couldn't figure out anything, this matter was all strange, and it was not uncommon to have a cheating case in the scientific examination, but for such a long time, only Qiu Yue was involved in the case, and I didn't know who bought the exam questions, and casually involved a little marquis.

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

The queen comforted Mrs. Ninghou for a long time, and asked her to go back and rest, don't worry, presumably Xue Baiqiao will be able to go back in a few days.

"Just the confession of a maidservant, I also want to slander the little marquis, how is it possible! Long live the wisdom of the lord, you won't believe this, don't mess around, don't just ask for someone, An Ansheng is waiting for news at home. ”

Hongchen also said: "Madame, don't worry, I have already seen it for the little marquis, he did have this catastrophe, but there is no danger, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, at most it is just a little face." ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Ninghou breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongchen's ability, she still believes.

"As long as people are okay, I'm relieved." Mrs. Ninghou's tears rolled down, and she didn't even care about the rudeness, obviously she was really scared.

Xue Baiqiao is her youngest son, who has been in pain since he was a child, and for the eldest son, their husband and wife naturally value it very much, but for the youngest son, they are spoiled.

If it weren't for this, Xue Baiqiao wouldn't have been so arrogant back then.

Let the queen and Hongchen take turns to comfort for a long time, and then Mrs. Ning Hou went out of the palace to go back, Hongchen personally sent her, and said two words on the way: "Be sure to check the maid." ”

This matter doesn't look complicated at all, and Qiu Yue's maid is the most suspicious.

Qiu Yue died strangely, even if he really participated in the fraud, now that the matter is exposed, and the exam questions are searched around, it can be said that it is recorded immediately after the exam, and he wants to do it a few more times, as for the old ink, it is not conclusive evidence, why bother committing suicide?

How could a person who dared to participate in such a big case be so psychologically fragile?

And there is such a thing as exam questions, after reading it, it is remembered in the mind, why do you have to keep it at hand, if you change someone else, you can remember it at a glance, and you will burn it immediately, and keep it as evidence?

Mrs. Ninghou nodded silently, she was very chaotic at this moment, but when she thought of that maid, she also gritted her teeth with hatred, no matter who was a mother, when she encountered a mad dog who dared to bite her baby son, she would be furious, and she would not be able to relieve her hatred when she was beaten to death with a stick.

Hongchen also left the palace, and as soon as he came out, he communicated with Lin Xu.

She didn't worry much about Xue Baiqiao's safety, she was also Ning Hou's beloved son, the emperor's favorite minister, and she couldn't sue him by a random woman, but this matter was still very interesting.

Hongchen and Lin Xu met, and as soon as he said this, Lin Xu smiled and said: "I know, I just went to see him just now, and that kid was really scared. ”

Xue Baiqiao is actually not small, and his skills are also very good, he even wants to go to the battlefield, but he has never been in the prison, this time he walked around the prison, and saw those terrible torture tools, not to say anything, but what kind of person is Lin Xu, as soon as he saw him, he noticed that this kid was weak and short of breath, and he was really a little scared.

"I look at him like that, and I'm not embarrassed to tease him anymore."

Lin Xu sighed, as if he was quite regretful.

Hongchen couldn't help but glance at his senior brother Lin, and was very suspicious of the mature and steady, careful and considerate, most caring for people, and always lonely and distressing Lin Xu, who was not the same person at all in front of him, about the one who dropped the bag back then.

Sure enough, as Hongchen said, before he even arrived at night, Xue Baiqiao was sent home.

Ning Hou went to the palace to sit for most of the day, and Scholar Xu couldn't stand Ning Hou's official authority, of course, the evidence was still insufficient, and if a maid was concerned, the guilt of the marquis could not be justified.

The emperor said that he had checked, and the little marquis had not stolen the exam questions, so he didn't, His Majesty said that he had a golden mouth.

However, although this incident happened not long ago, there were already rumors outside, and rumors gradually rose, and many candidates who landed on the ground began to show signs of trouble, Xue Baiqiao was naturally also involved, and not only was affected, many candidates almost convicted him, but now it is just because of Ning Hou's identity, only rumors are in private, and after a while, if you don't give an explanation to these candidates, it will be difficult to say.

As soon as Xue Baiqiao returned to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Ning Hou chanted Buddha repeatedly, hurriedly urging him to wash away the mildew on his body, and urged the people to hurry up and prepare all kinds of nourishing delicacies.

was stuffed with a big bowl of ginseng soup, Xue Baiqiao drooped his head, dejected, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas tasted like chewing wax at this time.

His wife was not as nervous as his mother, but her eyes were slightly moist, and she personally helped Xue Baiqiao carry hot water from the head and take a bath.

Refreshed, Xue Baiqiao didn't even dare to look at his wife, he ran away, Yun Shujun was stunned, and finally just shook his head and smiled, not stopping him.

Xue Baiqiao rushed all the way to Hongchen, grabbed her and asked, "Is there still a dark cloud above me?" It's okay to give up your wealth, this lawsuit won't really fall on me, right? ”

He was clearly and indeed frightened, terrified.

Hongchen coughed, and he was not embarrassed to laugh at him, so he asked Luo Niang to make a bowl of soothing tea, and said softly: "Our little marquis didn't really do anything to sell exam questions, what are you afraid of?" I think you barely passed this level, but you still have to tell me what is going on, if you don't find the roots, there will inevitably be a next time. ”

Xue Baiqiao suddenly had a bitter face, and he didn't know anything.

"Let's talk about the maid first, how did you provoke that woman?"

"This ......"

Xue Baiqiao racked his brains and said with a wry smile, "That maid's name is Qinglian, she used to be a singer, or I introduced her to Qiu Yue, Qinglian has a slender body, a graceful body, and a good voice, like a yellow warbler." ”

"Ahem."

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan coughed together.

Xue Baiqiao shut up suddenly, and said after a while: "You also know, I love to play on weekdays, and I definitely don't value women or anything, but when I socialize on weekdays, I will inevitably call a few women to help have fun, everyone is like this, if there are few women around me who are familiar with each other and have a good time, I also feel shameless." ”

Hongchen: "......"

Well, the son-in-law in the capital has indeed had such a habit recently.

"I also met Qinglian in the last year, and I think she has a good temperament and is very interesting, so I often ask her to play with me." Seeing that Hongchen's face was wrong, Xue Baiqiao almost swore a curse, "I dare to promise, it is to play on the spot, and I am measured, the woman outside will definitely not touch, in fact, I have never touched it, at most, I drank together, gave her some gold and silver jewelry, and ensured that Qiu did not commit any crimes, and absolutely kept a certain distance, and then I had a wife, and I never messed around outside, and even went to drink, and I never ordered a woman to accompany me, this is to give my wife face, let them scold me for being afraid of my wife like a tiger, and I will admit it." ”

Hongchen smiled, she also knew that Xue Baiqiao was not a person who would be coaxed by women.

Xue Baiqiao thought for a while: "Speaking of which, I am already very good to Qinglian, I have given her money and things, and I have also given her face, as long as I order her, she must be gentle and considerate, and there is no unruly time, and then her father died, or I helped to do it, she said that she was helpless, I am afraid that I will not be able to live, and I don't know if I will fall into such an unsightly place, it just so happens that Qiu Yue is short of a maid who brings tea and water to the person, I asked Qinglian, Qinglian also said that she is willing to be a maid with someone, as long as there is a place to stay, a place to shelter, I was already very satisfied, so I also deliberately introduced Qinglian to Qiu Yue, asked her to be a servant girl for Qiu Yue, and even gave her a lot of silver money, I am so enthusiastic, she is not grateful to me, why do you still slander me? ”

Hongchen was speechless.

Xiao Yan smiled: "But the Qinglian girl said that people would rather give Qiu Yue and Qiu Gongzi as a maid, than be willing to commit to be your wife and concubine, you are annoyed and angry, and you also found Qiu Gongzi to ask for it, and even threatened Qiu Gongzi, Qiu Gongzi has a noble character, but you are a dignified marquis, very majestic, threatening him to do things for you, selling exam questions, he can't refrain if he wants to, and he suffers every day......"

Xue Baiqiao hugged his head suddenly: "Wronged! ”

When Lin Xu came in, he happened to hear him shouting injustice, so he didn't pay attention to him, and directly brought the information of the maid to the big guy.

Because the time is short, I can't find out too long, only the information of the other party in the capital, the maid is called Yu Qinglian, in the early years with her father into Beijing to ask for a living, singing for a living, in Qinlou Chu Pavilion and other places for more than two years, provoked many sons and brothers to favor, and some people fought for her, but she retreated every time, did not suffer any losses, and was never included in the backyard by any son.
