"Excuse yourself!"

Looking at Liu Zongzhou, who was leaving in a huff, Han Yi's face looked extremely ugly.

At this time, the housekeeper came in a hurry, looking panicked: "The second master is here, I'm afraid that something big has happened in the court, and I can't even care about going to the criminal department." ”

Han Yi sighed when he heard this: "I still can't hide..."

Liu Zongzhou came to say that Donglin formed a party and peddled the imperial examination questions up and down, and his brother Han Huan was also able to become the head of the criminal department because he was the head of Donglin.

He sighed and thought for a while, after all, brothers still can't be too ruthless, Han Yi knew in his heart that he must also be here to find a way to avoid trouble.

But since they have done this kind of thing without telling themselves, it is a disaster for the entire Donglin, and what ability does he have to avoid it.

Sighing, he said:

"I'll go change my clothes and tell him to wait for me in the side room..."

After walking a few steps, Han Yi suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "By the way, arrange the wine and food, go to the vegetable market to buy a big fish, the old man hasn't said anything to this brother for a long time." ”

When the news came out, the Donglin ministers who were up and the Donglin scholars who were down were all in a mess now, like headless flies.

And Wei Zhongxian's East Factory, when he got the news that Jinyiwei frequently dispatched to arrest Gongsheng, the second monk was also puzzled.

"Uncle!"

On the afternoon of the third day after Xu Xianchun was arrested, Fu Yingxing rushed over and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Beizhen Fusi has been moving for several days, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”

Wei Zhongxian's expression was indifferent, and he said:

"What big moves can there be, the Midyear Festival Lantern Festival has just ended, arrest a few people at this juncture, it's just that Beizhen Fusi wants to expand his influence."

"Xu Xianchun wants to fight with Bendu, but he is still a little tender."

In fact, Wei Zhongxian was right, Xu Xianchun was more than Liu Qiao, although he had the means, he was still suppressed by Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian not only has Dongchang, but also the "eunuch party" that Zhu Youxiao relies on to check and balance the government, and Xu Xianchun only has Jinyiwei, although the emperor has given flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives, his influence is still far from enough.

Fu Yingxing fixed his mind and said:

"Uncle, my ears and eyes in Suzhou said that Zhang Xiu, a Gongsheng of Donglin, has been in close contact with fellow examiner Jiang Zhenye recently, and it is said that he is holding a handle!"

"And this?"

Wei Zhongxian's expression changed, motioned for Fu Yingxing to sit down, and muttered: "In the autumn of the second year of the Apocalypse, there was a trouble, so it seems that the two things are related..."

Fu Yingxing also remembered it, and hurriedly said: "Last year, there was a Jiashan student named Zhang Zhuo, who wrote a post to ridicule Liu Zongzhou, the chief examiner of Qiuqiu, for favoritism and fraud, which really caused a wave in the local area. ”

"It's just..."Wei Zhongxian suddenly sneered, "It's just that Your Majesty was still touring the south at that time, and he didn't care about it, and now it has been forgotten." ”

"Last year's autumn was indeed full of drawbacks, those Donglin were resentful since they were expelled from the government, so they resorted to such indiscriminate tricks, in a vain attempt to return Donglin to the court, it was really calculating!"

As for this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately made a decision, got up and said:

"Send someone to Suzhou, bring back this lock called Zhang Xiu, and arrange a name at will, that is, the governor will interrogate him personally!"

Fu Yingxing turned around and left, saying:

"Good! I'm going to Suzhou in person! ”

......

Within a few days, not only the Beizhen Fusi frequently dispatched to arrest people, but even the East Factory was involved, and Ti rode out of Beijing and went straight to Suzhou.

A few days later, Fu Yingxing rushed back with joy on his face: "Uncle, happy event, happy event!" Zhang Xiu had been locked up and taken back to Beijing, and before I could be tortured, he was so frightened that he peed his pants. ”

"According to him, the evidence of corruption and bribery by the same examiner Jiang Zhenye was obtained by him, and he went to extort more than 10,000 taels of silver from him!"

"There has always been evidence of corruption and bribery in Dongchang, but these are small fish and shrimp, and the governor is too lazy to do it."

Wei Zhongxian didn't believe that it was just such a trivial matter, and in the past few days, he also ordered someone to find out the relevant news after the autumn of last year, and when combined, he felt more and more that the Donglin Party was plotting something big.

How could such a good opportunity to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse for merit and reward be easily let go.

"Come and see..."Wei Zhongxian beckoned to Fu Yingxing and sneered:

"Last year's autumn list, the local sergeant did make a fuss for a while, and the governor found out that the name of the Donglin scholar accounted for seven of the names on the list last autumn."

"Since then, the talents from all over the country who have failed to make the list are naturally unconvinced, so there are these posts accusing the chief examiner Liu Zongzhou for taking care of his protégés and bending the law for personal gain."

Even Fu Yingxing could see that things were not simple, and after Wei Zhongxian's suggestion, he suddenly understood, and smiled fiercely:

"Uncle, it looks like this is a good show!"

"Shall we do it?"

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "This has to wait for Your Majesty's intentions, Your Majesty is afraid that Your Majesty will already know about this matter." ”

Fu Yingxing was a little strange.

"Then what is Your Majesty waiting for?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head, then laughed and did not answer.

......

Two months later, the three-year examination of the Apocalypse was successfully concluded, and the gold list was distributed to the world.

But this time the test did not have the festive like a festival in previous years, but caused an uproar, the discussion was boiling, and the scholars from all over the country who failed the list again couldn't bear it, and the snowflake-like revelations came one after another.

All the subjects and roads of the court came every day to accuse the chief examiner Gu Dazhang and fellow examiners Li Yuanjian, Jiang Zhenye and others of forming a party for personal gain and providing convenience for Donglin Gongsheng.

Even an anonymous tribute student also broke the shocking news, saying that Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, was also involved in this matter, and the list of court officials was impressively listed!

For a time, life inside and outside the Beijing division was boiling.

Qian Han, a supervisor in Sichuan, arrived in Beijing a year ahead of schedule to prepare for the three-year examination of the Apocalypse, but when Sun Shan fell into this incident, he was indignant and attacked first.

The prisoner, who was called Qian Han, sent the exposé post to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, exposing the favoritism and fraud of the same examiner Li Yuan, so that Li Zhiling, a child of his clan, and other high school gold lists, were despised.

Then, there was news that three people in Hangzhou were drunk and disorderly, and a Donglin Gong life of a high school jinshi was beaten to death on the street.

When news came out one after another, the officials of the DPRK and China were all panicked, and no one expected that the matter would come to such a point in advance.

Now the indignation and disambition of the scholars in various places has long been uncontrollable, and the jinshi who used to be on the high school gold list have now become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them.

The emotions of the people everywhere have also been stirred by these circumstances, and they have become more and more turbulent, and even the street talks about these things as talking about them and talking about them with relish.

In addition, some people are behind the scenes, making a big fuss, lest the world will not be chaotic, and the rhythm of rumors is spread everywhere, and the voices of the government and the opposition are also higher and higher, without the slightest intention of stopping.

Almost all of them were waiting with great interest to see what this would turn out and what the good things would be.

......

The weather in September is pleasant and green.

The undercurrent in the court was surging, and the local public opinion was boiling, but Zhu Youxiao turned a deaf ear, and once again led the guards to patronize Nanhaizi, looking at the surrounding greenery, and said with a smile:

"It's a good time to shoot!"
