Today in the Emperor's Palace, if this Xu An has a smarter head and knows what to say and what not to say, then he will be merciful and leave him a whole corpse.

If he dares to pull him into this troubled water, don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless.

"How many of you are the ones who quote the leaked essay during the exam?" The saint lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the kneeling people of His Highness, "Look back at the few cheaters in front." Do you know all these people kneeling behind you? ”

Xu An slowly turned his head with a few kneeling students next to him, and it was Bai Yizhi who was kneeling behind him on his right.

Bai Yizhi always lowered his head slightly, not daring to face Xu An's eyes.

Hurriedly raised his head, and his gaze only met for a moment, and then he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Xu Anxin couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The so-called human heart is separated from the belly, it is difficult to draw the skin of the tiger, it is difficult to draw the bones, know the people, know the face, do not know the heart, he did not know the meaning of these two sentences before. Fortunately, I understand it now, but it's a little late.

Bai Yizhi used the lives of his family to blackmail him, and now he feels weak and doesn't dare to look up at him.

Xu An raised his head and glanced around at His Royal Highness Huangji, here was the Bai Shangshu who blackmailed him last night, and Shangguan Yinling's father, Shangguan Min, who was the prime minister of the court.

"Why, are there anyone you know?"

The true dragon emperor sitting in the hall opened his lips slightly, and several cheating students were all frightened to identify that the few people who were kneeling under His Royal Highness were a few suspicious people, but now except for one Bai Yizhi, the others have confessed.

Xu An's throat rolled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"The one kneeling on the far left, there's someone you know behind him, why don't you speak?" The Holy Lord urged impatiently.

"Back to the saint, there is indeed a person behind him who is known to sinners, and he is Bai Yizhi who kneels behind the right side of the sinner."

Originally, Xu Anzi couldn't trust Shangguan Yinling, but now he doesn't have half a position in the court, and he is still demoted by the saint, but somehow he opened his mouth and only confessed to Bai Yi's words.

"The sinner sat in the same seat Bai Yizhi had already met when he was in the inn, and he took the article he bought to Bai Yizhi's room late at night before the exam to share it with him, and Bai Yizhi read through the article.

After Xu An finished speaking, Bai Yizhi, who was kneeling behind him, and Bai Shangshu, who was standing next to him, were a little flustered.

There are really people in this world who are not afraid of death.

"Holy Lord, don't listen to him biting indiscriminately, this person must have seen that he was cheating and had no hope of being caught, so he wanted to pull me into the water, the grass people are innocent."

This kind of useless excuse has been heard countless times by the Holy Lord since he ascended the throne, and 10,000 different excuses from the mouths of 10,000 people have sounded the same flavor to him.

"Bai Yizhi...... You are also surnamed Bai, but what is the relationship with Bai Shangshu? The saint pondered Bai Yizhi's surname carefully, and he was suspicious by nature, but he still asked the doubts in his heart.

"Back to the saint, Bai Yizhi is indeed the minister's distant nephew, but Bai Yizhi's entry into Beijing to catch the exam was not explained to the minister in advance, and the minister also saw him in His Highness today. I learned that he also participated in this year's Spring Festival. Bai Shangshu hurriedly defended, "The Chen family has always acted above board, and they don't want to be criticized for Bai Yizhi's entry into Beijing to take the exam, so they didn't inform the ministers in advance, but stayed directly in the inn after entering Beijing." ”

The saint pondered carefully, indeed, Xu An said that he met Bai Yizhi in the inn, but this does not mean that Bai Shangshu is innocent.

"Xu An, when you met Bai Yizhi, did you know that he was Bai Shangshu's nephew?"

The saint knows that all the questions at this moment, whether they ask Bai Yizhi or Bai Shangshu, they are not necessarily true answers, only Xu An, who has identified Bai Yizhi, can tell the truth of the matter.

"Back to the saint, when the sinner and Bai Yizhi met, they really didn't know that he was Bai Shangshu's cousin, and he never mentioned it to the sinner, but last night, Bai Shangshu came in person and saw the sinner, and the sinner knew that Bai Shangshu had a lot to do with Bai Yi."

Xu An's words were like a sharp knife, constantly inserting into the hearts of Bai Yizhi and Bai Shangshu.

"Xu An, weren't you already detained in the prison of the Criminal Department last night? How did Bai Shangshu meet you? ”

The saint frowned slightly, he already had some conjecture in his heart, but Bai Shangshu was still a Shangshu, he couldn't say it directly, so he asked.

"Back to the saint, the criminals don't know how Bai Shangshu appeared in the prison of the Criminal Department, but he threatened me that if I confessed to Bai Yizhi's peeping at the leaked article today, he would kill my family." As soon as Xu An's eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he told the truth.

Anyway, it's death if you don't say it, it's death, and if you say it, Shangguan Yinling may be able to protect his life, he can't get used to seeing Bai Yizhi doing whatever he wants because his cousin is Lord Shangshu, Shangguan Yinling is right, if you do something wrong, you should pay the price, he will pay the price, and Bai Yizhi will also pay the price.

"Holy Lord, this person has a ghost in his heart, and he actually slandered Yu Chen in the current dynasty, the minister was unwell last night, and went to bed early after dinner, and the servants of the family in the house can testify, how can he appear in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Bai Shangshu hurriedly knelt down and defended.

"When Lord Shangshu went to the prison of the Criminal Department last night, not only the criminals, but all the candidates who were imprisoned for cheating all knew about it." Xu An said again, and the saint frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking.

"How many of you are really as Xu An said, Lord Shangshu entered the prison of the Criminal Department last night?"

Several people knelt on the ground and hesitated, and it took a long time before they raised their heads and replied tremblingly.

"Back to the saint, we didn't see anything last night."

"What are you talking about, you all saw it last night!" Xu An turned his head in surprise and grabbed the shoulder of a candidate next to him, "Tell me the truth, you guys!" ”

"That's the truth, what else do you want us to say?"

Xu An knelt on the ground in despair.

He thought that if he was willing to stand up and tell the truth of the matter, Bai Yizhi and Bai Shangshu would be punished as they deserved, but he never thought that he would be dragged back by this group of candidates who had no bottom line and backbone.

Now Shangguan Yinling is not in the court, so he can't help them argue.

"Xu An, no one is consistent with your confession now, but these other people are on Bai Shangshu's side, what else do you want to say?"

"The sinners have nothing to say."
