Chapter 354: Arrest

Hearing Su Wen's pretended dissatisfaction complaint, Mo Yi couldn't help but have a knowing smile on his face. After getting along for so long, he had already figured out Su Wen's temper, how could he not understand the hidden thoughts behind these words?

For Su Wen's strong temperament, Mo Yi felt appreciative on the one hand, but felt distressed on the other hand. A girl of her age, who doesn't stay in the embroidery pavilion and live a pampered life. Only Su Wen is different, as the only heir of the Hua family, she has to take on the important task of revitalizing the Hua family.

Although there are some germinations of the idea of equality between men and women in his heart, Mo Yi still can't help but feel distressed for Su Wen. If he could, he really wanted to share the burden on Su Wen's shoulders.

Determined to make a career, Mo Yidang said to Su Wen with a firm face: "Su Wen, I plan to stay in the capital for a while and help Senior Brother Prince do some things, I may not be able to return to Yunzhou for the time being." Don't worry, I won't forget you. As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely go back to Yunzhou to visit you. ”

Hearing his decision, Su Wen was surprised for a moment, but then relieved. She understood what Mo Yi was thinking, and knew that he was actually doing this for the future of the two of them.

For the future of the two of them, although Su Wen has never given up the idea of being together, the cruelty of reality is gradually eating away at this belief. If they still can't find a way out of this impasse, the time they bought will gradually slip away. If that day really comes, the two of them may have no choice but to accept the arrangement of fate.

I have to admit that Mo Yi's approach is a useful attempt. If he can make achievements by the side of the prince. In the future, he will definitely have a brighter future, and it is not impossible to become an important minister.

With the right, Mo Yi can have a greater say in the affairs of the two of them. It is not ruled out that Yongninghou and his wife may not look down on Su Wen, but Mo Yi is by no means the kind of cool scholar who likes the new and hates the old. As long as he insists, the two of them will definitely be able to come together in the end, and there will naturally be twists and turns in the process.

After thinking for a while, Su Wen raised his head and replied with a serious face: "Senior brother, as long as it is a decision that is beneficial to you, I will support it unconditionally." I only hope that you can do a good job by the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, and you must not fall into the prestige of Mr. ”

It was affirmed by Su Wen. Mo Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although I knew that Su Wen was not the kind of girl who was a little girl. But before the final result came out, he would inevitably feel a little apprehensive in his heart. Fortunately, everything was as expected in advance, and Su Wen did not express any objections, but also gave firm support and sincere encouragement.

A tacit agreement was reached on this matter. Su Wen and Mo Yi did not continue to discuss this topic. They made small talk about something else. was called by Chen Dequan, who had just finished practicing.

It took two days. Su Wen finally taught Chen Dequan all the skills he had learned about oil painting in his previous life. Given that Hong Qian would be returning home on this day, she was given a rare opportunity to take a vacation. After staying in Hong's mansion for more than ten days, she has long been like a mother and daughter with Mrs. Hong. Right now, they are discussing together to prepare a sumptuous reception banquet for Hong Qian.

In order to show their sincerity, Su Wen and Mrs. Hong decided to cook themselves. Both of them have some experience in cooking, so they just took the opportunity to learn their skills.

While Mrs. Hong was busy, she pretended to be dissatisfied and complained: "The old man is too, obviously the list was released yesterday, but he has to go home today." I heard that everyone else went home yesterday, so he alone dragged it to today. If it weren't for his love of not eating and sleeping well for so many days, I wouldn't have bothered to cook for him this time. ”

Hearing Mrs. Hong's words, Su Wen couldn't help but smile, and then opened his mouth to comfort: "Master, Mr. is the main examiner this time. Others can go home early, but Mr. can't, and he still has the finishing touches to do. ”

Seeing the smile on Su Wen's face, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but feel a blush, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Su Wen, I heard that you have a fellow villager who participated in the imperial examination this time, and it seems that his grades are not bad." I've heard the old man mention it before, and it is said that there is a problem with the character of this lifter. The old man is the main exam, why don't you know how to suppress him? ”

When Su Wen heard this, he immediately smiled and explained to Hong Qian: "Master, you are thinking badly. Mr. is the main examiner of this imperial examination, and he should follow the rules, so naturally he can't mix too many personal likes and dislikes. ”

Seeing Su Wen explaining for Hong Qian, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but smile in her eyes. I have to say that Su Wen is really good to his own people, and it can be clearly seen that they get along during this time. As long as it is someone she approves, she will treat each other with sincerity. Of course, if she offends her person, she will not be soft on it.

For Su Wen's love-hate character, Mrs. Hong likes it from the bottom of her heart. She is like this herself, she can indulge in every way to the person she likes, and she doesn't owe it to look at the disgusted one more.

After being busy for a while, a sumptuous reception banquet was finally ready. As soon as the two of them cleaned up their personal hygiene, Hong Qian returned to the mansion from the yamen. The Lord has returned, and of course the reception feast will be held. Since this was a family banquet, there were no outsiders involved, only Su Wen and Hong Qian's family.

At the beginning of the reception banquet, Mrs. Hong led the two juniors to get up and toast Hong Qian. After she said the words she had written in advance, the four of them drank all the wine in their glasses.

At this moment, the housekeeper ran in from outside in a panic, and when he saw Hong Qian, he shouted with a panicked face: "Master, it's not good, something is wrong." The door was blocked by the Imperial Bell Army, and they asked to see the master, and I heard that this time they came with a holy decree. I heard the leading Imperial Bell Army say that they were ordered to arrest the master. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. This happened so abruptly that no one expected it. The most disturbing thing is that they did not receive the slightest news beforehand.

After the initial shock, Hong Qian immediately came back to his senses, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't panic, there must be a misunderstanding in this." When I go with them, the misunderstanding will be solved. You don't need to worry, I will come back safely. Get ready for the feast and wait for me to come back. ”

Seeing Hong Qian's calm appearance, the other three couldn't help but settle down. Now that the Imperial Bell Army has blocked the door with a holy decree, they can't do anything for the time being except to wait and see what happens.

Seeing Hong Qian come out, the leader of the Imperial Bell Army immediately took out the holy decree. After listening to him read out the holy decree, several people understood the reason why Hong Qian was arrested. It must be said that this reason is too ironic. Hong Qian took care of this imperial examination in an orderly manner, and was finally arrested on suspicion of fraud.

Despite the anger in their hearts, several people still maintained a certain level of calm, and did not shout grievances to these Imperial Bell soldiers who were ordered to arrest people. They understood that the Emperor was behind the scenes, and that these Imperial Bell Soldiers were just acting on orders.

Smiling at the Imperial Ling Army, Hong Qian said quite freely: "Since Your Majesty has decreed, I will leave with you." If His Majesty asks, I hope the general can help convey it. Let's just say that this matter is on my shoulders, and ask Your Majesty to be kind to the other people who participated in the imperial examination. Your Majesty is a clear man, and I believe that I will be able to return my innocence in the end. ”

Seeing that Hong Qian's words were clearly organized, Su Wen couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. At this time, he can still maintain a clear line of thought, and it seems that Hong Qian is really a person who has experienced wind and waves.

Turning around and appeasing his wife and children and Su Wen, Hong Qian followed Yulingjun out of Hongfu. Probably with the emperor's explanation, although the Imperial Bell Army was ordered to arrest people this time, his attitude was quite kind, and there was no such performance as blackmail and arrogance. From their attitude, it can be seen that Hong Qian should not be in any danger for a while.

When Hong Qian was taken away, Mrs. Hong immediately cheered up from the impact just now. She must now calm down and step up to deal with the current crisis.

After calming down, Mrs. Hong immediately sent Hong Li and Su Wen out. There are still some things that have not been figured out, and she must use all her connections to figure out the current situation. There is no doubt that Chen Dequan and Donggong are the most valuable sources of clues at the moment. Su Wen was in charge of going to Chen Dequan's place to find out the news, and Hong Li was in charge of seeking news about the prince's father-in-law's family.

After receiving an errand sent by Mrs. Hong, Su Wen immediately took a carriage and went straight to Chen's mansion. Now it is only known that Hong Qian was arrested for the fraud of the imperial examination, but the more detailed information is not clear.

After arriving at Chen's mansion, Su Wen was immediately received by Chen Dequan. Without any greetings, Chen Dequan informed Su Wen of all the information he had just obtained. Through Chen Dequan's narration, Su Wen understood the cause of the incident, and a wry smile appeared in his heart at the same time.

Yesterday was the day of the release of the list, which is something that Su Wen has known for a long time. As an exam, if someone has a title on the gold list, someone must be named Sun Shan, which is common knowledge that everyone knows.

For the results of this imperial examination, Su Wen repaid 100% trust. There is no other reason, with Hong Qian as the main examination of this imperial examination, although the fraud case cannot be completely eliminated, it will certainly not be as rampant as usual. From Hong Qian's point of view, this imperial examination was the first battle after his return, and high standards and strict requirements were necessary.

Although Su Wen has 100% trust in the results, others don't. As for why others think so, the reason is on the gold list that was just revealed yesterday.

Probably because of the creation of people, eighty percent of the people on this list are from the south. This time, the northern lifters who fell off the list were unwilling. In their view, this is clearly a serious malpractice. Even if they have a poor level of knowledge, it is impossible for them to only pass two percent.

Feeling that he had been treated unfairly, the Northern Juzi launched a large number of petitions. They held meetings overnight, and the next morning they gathered on their knees outside the imperial city to petition for a serious investigation into the case of fraud in the imperial examination.
