From Jin Yiwei taking over the case, to some officials being brought into thousands of households one after another.

Although only three days have passed, these three days are particularly difficult for Zhu Yilin, a scholar and politician.

The situation of his soul is best described by the soul of the house, at this time he has not been sitting in the hall for a long time, and has been sitting at home.

On the first day that Jin Yiwei took over the case, Zhu Yilin was also called for questioning, and as the deputy chief examiner, he went with Zheng Yan.

After a brief inquiry, Zhu Yilin, who only asked if there was nothing wrong, and Zheng Yan were both released.

After all, the two of them are the main and deputy examiners, although they also have some suspicions, they still need to be released to calm people's hearts.

But Zhu Yilin's peace of mind, he couldn't sit still after only three days at home.

After the other officials were brought into the Thousand Households, none of them were released, what kind of torture would these people suffer inside? Will they be able to handle it?

"Master, it's time to eat!"

At this time, behind Zhu Yilin, his wife Wu appeared, but he didn't know it.

"Eat first......"

Knowing that her husband was not in a good mood, Wu didn't dare to persuade her, so she turned around and left.

But just as she was about to go out, Zhu Yilin stopped her and said, "Clean up tonight, you take your children and grandchildren to live at your parents' house for a few days!" ”

Hearing her husband say these words, even if Wu didn't know the situation, he knew that the family was suffering a great disaster.

So he stopped, turned around and asked, "Master, what happened?" ”

"You don't have to know this, the less you know, the safer it is, and I'll take care of everything!" Zhu Yilin said in a heavy tone.

He has struggled all his life for the family, and now that the catastrophe is coming, it will be his last contribution to the family to bear the disaster by himself.

Seeing that his wife still had something to say, Zhu Yilin said in an accentuated tone: "Go!" ”

Wu stared at her husband for a long time before she left her words and said, "Then we'll wait for you to pick us up!" ”

Zhu Yilin nodded solemnly, and after his wife left, his eyes showed a look of pain.

After weighing it again, Zhu Yilin slowly got up and walked to his desk.

I saw him pick up a book from the table and pull out a letter from it, which was the way he had arranged for his family.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open again, which made Zhu Yilin frown slightly.

Now that there is no catastrophe coming, is there a mess at home? These subordinates are inevitably too unruly.

But at this moment, I heard a cold voice outside: "Master Zhu, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zhu Yilin instinctively felt that something was wrong, and immediately scolded: "Who is outside?" ”

At this time, I saw Chen Xiaoting, who was dressed in an official uniform, walking in from outside, and beside him was Liu Jianping, a small flag officer, and several lieutenants appeared outside the door.

"What do you want?" Although he had already guessed what was going on, Zhu Yilin still had to ask.

Chen Xiaoting walked into the room, pulled a chair at random and sat down, and then said, "Master Zhu, don't panic, I'm just here to ask you a few questions!" ”

To put it bluntly, they came to arrest Zhu Yilin, and they were afraid that they would run away with great fanfare, so Chen Xiaoting and they would sneak in.

"What is there to ask? Didn't you ask it all two days ago? Zhu Yilin's face was gloomy, but he was not timid at all.

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but smile on his face, and only listened to him: "Among the examiners of this township examination, there are five people who said that the fraud case was led by you, what do you say?" ”

Sure enough, he still didn't hide it, but Zhu Yilin is by no means a fool, whatever people say is what they say.

"They are framed, that is, they are in collusion with the candidates, and they ...... with the officials."

It's a pity that Chen Xiaoting has sufficient evidence, so he only heard him say sharply: "Okay...... This official is not here to listen to your quibbles, you had better explain honestly now, otherwise you will only hurt yourself even more! ”

Zhu Yilin was suppressed for a while, so he kept silent, and now he needs to adjust his thinking.

Chen Xiaoting sat on the chair, looked at Zhu Yilin's changing complexion, and said in a cold tone: "The examiners said that you found them, now you just need to tell me, how did you contact the students?" ”

If this problem is solved, the whole incident will be complete, and the case can naturally be closed.

These questions are very critical, and Zhu Yilin also skimmed off the luck psychology at this time, and he was weighing what to say at this time.

"Master Zhu, if you don't say it, you will bear the sin alone!" Chen Xiaoting looked at Zhu Yilin.

The room became very quiet, and after a while, Zhu Yilin spoke: "They bribed me and asked me to help them match......

It is obvious that Zhu Yilin is abdicating responsibility, although even if he pushes it off, he is not a good bird.

But Chen Xiaoting doesn't care about this now, he just wants to know who "they" are in Zhu Yilin's mouth.

Zhu Yilin didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "It's the Song family and the Wu family in Dongcheng!" ”

"Be specific!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

Zhu Yilin's expression was dejected: "These two families go to contact the students, their big families have a wide range of information, and they can do it without knowing it!" ”

"Song Bozhou and Wu Weilin, who came to your house these days, are the people who contacted you, right?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

Jinyiwei has never been idle, and it is not difficult to find out this, so Zhu Yilin also nodded in acknowledgement.

Then, Chen Xiaoting stood up and instructed Liu Jianping outside the door: "Take someone to seal the Song family and the Wu family, and then bring their family head to the Thousand Households!" ”

Liu Jianping was very excited to receive the errand, so he immediately took the order and left.

Then Chen Xiaoting said to Zhu Yilin: "Let's go, you go to the Qianhu House to wait for the two of them first!" ”

At this time, there was nothing to refuse, since he could do it, he could bear it, but he asked not to disturb his family.

If Chen Xiaoting had ignored Zhu Yilin's request in the past, but since Yue Menghao's door-to-door incident, Chen Xiaoting has been able to compare his heart with his heart.

In the midst of peace, Zhu Yilin was taken out of the house, and after going out, he stared deeply at the door of the house, because he knew that he should never come back.

And when Zhu Yilin was taken to the Thousand Households, Zheng Yan, the imperial historian of the capital, was already waiting for his arrival.

"You've really hurt me!" This was the first thing Zheng Yan said to Zhu Yilin.

Zheng Yan led the emperor's order to Yongxi, but Zhu Yilin helped him stir up the yellow, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Just as Zheng Yan was reprimanding Zhu Yilin, he saw Liu Jianping hurrying over, and his expression was slightly anxious.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiaoting's tone is not good, and Liu Jianping will not mess things up.

I only heard Liu Jianping say: "My lord, except for the subordinates of the Song and Wu families, the others left yesterday, saying that they went to worship the Buddha in the temple outside the city!" ”

The whole family went to worship the Buddha, and they went together as two families, which was obviously absconding for fear of sin.

"Then why are you still stunned, why don't you send someone to chase after you?" Chen Xiaoting said angrily, but he still lowered his voice, so as not to be laughed at by others.

"There are so many of them that they can't go fast...... You take someone to chase after you! Chen Xiaoting regained his composure and said.

Liu Jianping didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Let's chase after the lowly position!" ”
