Yan Song walked to the window and saw a group of officials holding lanterns approaching.

Immediately, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was terrified, if he was arrested and put in prison and sat on the crime, he would not be able to take the imperial examination in this life.

"Lord Yan, there is really no fraud in the late life, before coming to participate in the imperial examination, he once bathed himself, and washed the Confucian clothes by the way, presumably it was stolen by someone at that time, and the late life is really innocent."

Before the exam, I hope to get a good omen in the imperial examination.

Because they have to stay in the prison for several days in a row, before the exam, the candidates will bathe themselves once.

"You go back to the prison for the exam, the criminal department has not yet convicted, and you will be arrested when the charges are clarified."

Yan Song thought for a long time just now, and said gratefully: "When I entered Beijing, I don't know why the adults wanted to harm me, but now that I think about it, Yan Song has nothing to plot, it must be a misunderstanding."

If the adult does not dislike it, the late student is willing to worship under the adult's door and become the protégé of Lord Yan! ”

As he spoke, he folded his hands and saluted respectfully forward.

"This official only accepts three yuan and the first person."

The fraud has not been investigated, it is not appropriate to accept Yan Song as a protégé, even if there is no such thing, Yan Chengjin will not accept apprentices, and Yan Song is no exception.

Jin Chong's face was stiff, how many people in the world are three yuan and first?

Yan Song's face flushed for a while, and his face was firm and slightly towards Yan Chengjin, and he quickly went back to the exam.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the autumn of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi was completed.

The gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and the candidates in green clothes and Confucian clothes came out one after another, some people cried with joy, and some people cried bitterly in front of the gate.

The capital was boiling, and the news came out of the Gongyuan that there was an examiner colluding with the candidates.

Yan Chengjin suddenly became as famous as Cheng Minzheng.

Yan Song returned to the inn and quietly waited for news from the imperial court.

……

Forbidden City, East Warm Pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi anxiously waited for the end of the autumn season.

The hundred officials heard that in the autumn of this year, some people colluded with the examiners, and they also involved ministers above the fourth rank of the imperial court, but His Majesty has not yet announced who will try it.

Xiong Qian held the plaque and stood in the hall: "Your Majesty, please also hand over this case to the Criminal Department for trial, and temporarily put Yan Chengjin in the prison of the Criminal Department." "What about Yan Qing's family?" Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and looked at Mu Bin.

Mu Bin raised his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Yan Chengjin said that the invigilator is too fortunate, and he has to go back to his house to rest for a few days and take a leave of absence for three days." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was stiff, his face was red and white, and he was worried that he would not be able to sleep and eat for two days.

After Li Dongyang returned to Fu Mu, he entered the palace without stopping.

thought that Yan Chengjin would also be there, this is fraud, I didn't expect it, this son was not worried at all.

"Order Yan Chengjin to enter the palace, I want to see him now."

Xiong Qian didn't want this case to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei and Yan Chengjin became friends: "Your Majesty, why don't you try this case by the Criminal Department?" ”

"Let's wait for Yan Chengjin to enter the palace first."

……

Dongcheng District, Yanfu.

Yan Chengjin stood in front of the main hall, and the people took away all the radishes and greens planted in the courtyard and moved them back to the old courtyard in Xicheng District.

After the autumn exam, this mansion is not as comfortable as the West District, so I simply moved back.

How could he run and report with tears and chirps: "Young master, Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace." ”

"What are you crying about?"

Not only He Neng, Yan Chengjin found that the people in the courtyard were like having a funeral at home, and tears were falling.

Chunxiao and Qianjin also had tears on their faces.

"The young master had a big incident in the Gongyuan, and now he is moving out of the capital, and the little one is reluctant to ......"

"Something as stupid as a pig is moving back to the old yard."

It seems that the whole capital knows about his affairs in the Gongyuan.

Yan Chengjin was not worried, and was waiting for Fang Xue to report to him, and when he didn't have a long time, Fang Xue came with an embarrassed face, and said guiltily: "My lord, the lower officials have not found any traces. ”

If no trace can be found, Yan Chengjin will be taken into custody and imprisoned, and he can only be released after he is clear.

But there is no clue about this matter, how can it be found out?

"Yan Song won't wear such clothes to the tribute courtyard, he was framed."

Yan Chengjin met such a high-level player for the first time, and it was natural to do it.

However, the official is not bad.

……

Xufu,

Xu Mu is waiting for news from the Criminal Department, if Yan Chengjin can be detained today, he will celebrate together.

This matter is not clear, and the people involved in this are no longer in the capital

Yan Chengjin moved Yan Zheng, I don't know how many officials want to move him, even if it is white, the minister will say that it is black.

And the scholar named Yan Song is innocent, even if he is forced to confess, he can't say anything.

"Send someone to the Xiong Mansion to wait, Lord Xiong will come to report to the old man."

The housekeeper hurriedly went to arrange it.

Xu Mu's eyes showed a fierce light, this time Yan Chengjin was planted, and when he returned to his hometown and lost the protection of Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he killed him halfway.

By that time, when His Majesty remembered it again, he was already dead.

"If you want to blame, blame you for reforming, the people who have been restructured since ancient times, Shang Ying, Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, which one has a good end?"

……

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao got up in the morning to practice his sword, and the little eunuch came to report: "Your Highness, it's not good, something happened to Lord Yan." ”

"Lao Gao even has to take a drug test to drink water, what can happen?"

"I heard from the scholar who came back from the procurement office in the West Market that Lord Yan secretly gave Yan Song exam questions, and the whole capital knew about it."

Zhu Houzhao blinked, when did Lao Gao be so kind?

This matter is absolutely impossible, even if the fraud is not guilty, with the old man's temperament, he is too lazy to do it, right?

"Let's go to the East Warm Pavilion and have a look."

Yan Chengjin sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the noon gate, and when he walked into the main hall, Emperor Hongzhi and hundreds of officials were there.

Xiong Qian glanced sideways slightly, even if he knew that Yan Chengjin was wronged, the hundred officials would not help him.

This son has been repeatedly restructured, especially the salt administration, and I don't know how many officials have been let go.

Li Dongyang turned his head to look, but this son was not much panicked.

"Yan Qing's family is in the mansion and found evidence?"

Yan Chengjin raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you care about the fraud in the imperial examination?" ”

Fang Xue couldn't find it, and he must have no clues when he went to investigate.

If you can't find it, you will go to prison, so it is better to use the death-free gold medal first, and then check it later.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry and lowered his voice: "You should avoid death gold medal is a holy decree?" ”

Baiguan nodded, a little pitiful Yan Chengjin, there is no clue in this case, you can only count on this.

"The minister has not found any clues, but there is only a bit of fraud, the minister can prove his innocence, please ask Your Majesty to summon Jinyi Wei Ye Zhun and Yan Song."

Soon, Ye Zhun walked into the main hall.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand, could it be that Ye Zhun had evidence.

"Subordinate Ye Zhun has seen Your Majesty, Lord Yan has only met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Commander Mu."

Zhu Houzhao walked into the main hall, knowing that it was not the time to mess around, he stepped aside to see what Lao Gao said.

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to bring the clothes and said: "The minister saw this Confucian dress last night, and it is not the answer written by the minister, so let the examiner of Wenhua Hall send the minister's answer." ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly ran to get it, and compared it, it was a difference between cloud and mud.

The little eunuch introduced Yan Song into the palace and met with Emperor Hongzhi.

"But the official wants to frame you?"

"It's not."

"If the minister can't find a clue, the minister can prove that it has nothing to do with the case, so he is not guilty.

Please also ask Your Majesty to let the ministers arrest the real culprit, don't let him go unpunished! ”
