Volume 1 The Age Kite Chapter 84 Turning Point
"Your Majesty, even if the Huangkou child knows the great crime of the Nine Clans, he doesn't dare to admit it, and he is put in prison.
When the words fell, everyone in the hall began to talk again, many of them frowned and muttered that Zhu Qichang was too ruthless, and Cai Jianyi was even more shocked, and the sweat on his face was pouring out like spring water, as if he was alone in the rain.
Immediately raised his head and spoke, there were hundreds of punishments in the prison, all of them were subjected to the last time, not dead and crippled, begging the emperor not to do this, but the emperor's heart was all cold, no one looked at it, just a word, he first according to what Lord Zhu said, raised his hand to summon the guards into the palace, coldly crossed the heads of the Cai family, and also put them in prison first, so that Lord Li, who had been standing on the side nervously, finally relaxed, so that Zhu Qichang couldn't stop laughing.
Calling the word emperor again and again, Chang's also had to help speak, but I didn't see the emperor moved, it was Cai Jianyi who dragged a few people out, and Lord Wang, who left quietly, finally came back, strode to the emperor, and pleaded guilty, so that everyone didn't know why.
"Please forgive the emperor for the crime of leaving the early dynasty without permission, Weichen just received the news from the house, and the house was attacked by thieves, so he went back to the house to check, and then followed the pursuit of the thief, broke into the wrong place, but found something else, which can prove Cai's innocence."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, Lord Li and Zhu Qichang changed their faces together, and Lord Li's head, which had been lowered, instantly raised and stepped out, his face stiff, and his eyes were full of warnings.
"What is Lord Wang saying, this evidence is conclusive, Lord Cai's concubines can't come up with evidence to prove themselves, Lord Wang can be crooked?"
Lord Wang raised his head, slapped his palms on the hesitant emperor, and saw several guards carrying a box of gold and silver in, followed by a woman, Wan Xiang saw that this matter had taken a turn for the better, and he was also a little nervous, and then turned his head to see, a pair of eyes opened bloodshot, and he couldn't move on the ground.
The women were also afraid, so they secretly looked around, looked forward at Wanxiang who was kneeling on the ground, and blurted out a sentence of "my son", so that many people immediately understood that the emperor was too.
Lord Li's heart cooled down with the two words, staring at Lord Wang, and kept thinking about what to do in his head, and now, it was his turn to sweat.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen led people to hunt down the thief and went to the people's house by mistake, and thought that the thief was this woman in disguise, and searched directly, and found this box of gold and silver, and then listened to the explanation, and testified with the surrounding people that he knew that he had gone to the wrong place, but thinking about it, the officials of the five or six grades had to save up for a while to save this box of gold and silver, but the ordinary people who were farming, how did they come to these family backgrounds, and interrogated many women, and listened to the name of their son, it was the classmate of Lord Cai's concubine, Wanxiang."
Turning around to face the young man who was still looking at his mother in a daze, he asked in a deep voice.
"Then I asked Wan to explain to the little brother this box of gold and silver, and your mother said that you took back this box of gold and silver."
Wanxiang seemed to be petrified, his eyes didn't blink, his mother secretly glanced at the emperor, and saw that her son was like wood in front of the emperor's eyes, she was going to panic, and immediately squatted in front of her son's eyes, grabbed Wanxiang's arm is shaking, her facial features were wrinkled in one place, and she muttered anxiously, hurry up!
Lord Li stared at Wanxiang's eyes, caught the momentum of tears, and returned to the emperor without saying a word, changing his sad face.
"Back to the emperor, this box of gold and silver was funded by Weichen this young man, Weichen knew during the investigation that this young man's family background was average, and he could not support his willingness to study and take scientific examinations, so he took out some gold and silver to help, and he also got his promise, he will be able to become an official one day, and then return all the money given today."
Lord Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lord Li, nodded slightly, looked admiring, turned his body back in front of the emperor, and gave his hand again.
"Your Majesty, what Master Li said is reasonable, then the strange appearance of this young man and this coincidental timing will be ignored for the time being, Weichen rushed back and met the prince who had just finished the morning class, and by the way, he said this, I don't want the prince to be very interested, saying that it has not been involved in the court for a long time, and if you want to come to the right handwriting, press the legs and feet of the prince, it is time to arrive."
The last word landed, and the crutches in the hands of the Taishi also fell on the stone bricks in the hall, squinting his eyes and coming in, there were no teeth left in his mouth, and he spoke quite clearly, and he was far away from the emperor, so he beckoned to those words, "Birthday Star" came, how did the emperor sit, and stood up immediately, although he did not come forward to greet him, but he sent the eunuch to go, and asked the palace people to move the stool.
Lord Li's face was darker, staring at Lord Wang, who was confident, his fists were clenched, and the Taishi was invited, this was clearly standing on Cai's side, and secretly looked to the side, the position where Zhu Qichang was standing was empty, his expression was stagnant, and he turned his head to chase after him, Zhu Qichang didn't know when he hid back among the officials, he hid it tightly, and he couldn't find it if he didn't continue to look for it, and the scene in the study of Zhu's mansion suddenly flashed in front of him, and the coldness in his eyes was even worse.
Zhu Qichang's face was a little embarrassed, but the triangular eyes were clearly bright, and he didn't know what fragrance was born in the furnace, and the incense mist lasted for a long time, covering his eyes.
"Lord Li, Cai's arrogance is too strong, Zhu also has the heart of suppression, it is good to join forces, but this Zhu is not only Zhu in the family, Zhu also has to consider the clan, Lord Li's strategy Zhu can help, and Zhu who is lacking by Li can also support, but externally, Zhu does not want to leave his name, and the matter is defeated, too."
However, he quickly restrained his expression, looked sideways at the rickety figure supported by the eunuch, and did not believe that this hundred-year-old man's eyes could be better, after all, this copying person took a lot of effort to find it.
The old man didn't say much, he still raised his hand to compare the calligraphy and paintings, and held it in his hand for a while on his face, and then took it far away, a pair of eyes and two slits, so that all the ministers doubted that the Taishi could see something, even the emperor thought so.
Cai Jianzhong, who was still guarded by the guards, was staring intently, full of hope for this old man, only Lord Wang himself was special, and he was still confident, but he knew that the Taishi had studied calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he liked to compare and inspect, and the moment when he found out the flaws in the calligraphy and painting and judged it to be a fake was the Taishi's favorite time.
In fact, he got a new pair of calligraphy and paintings, and he looked for someone to taste everywhere, and when he met the Taishi, he also asked him to check it, and the result was that people found out that it was fake, and the fake even made the brushstrokes exactly the same as the real thing! The Taishi actually saw the clue from the inscription in the picture, and he was really in awe.
The old man finally finished reading it, handed the two characters to the eunuch and asked him to send them to the emperor, grabbed his frizzy beard and smiled.
"This word is really good, Rao is old and decayed for many years of study can not be accurate, but, fake is fake, the charm of the real product can not be learned, the emperor take a good look, look at these two words from the front, look at it from close and far, they are exactly the same, but, the mistake is on the opposite side."
Master Li shuddered, raised his head and looked into the eyes of the Grand Master, obviously he couldn't even see the eyeballs, but he seemed to be seen inside and out by his sharp gaze.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned over the two pieces of paper, which were indeed different, obviously they were both rice paper, one was clean, and the other was the ink that seeped through, and his face immediately changed, and the two words were displayed in front of Lord Li's eyes, his eyes were sharp, and the words in his mouth were biting hard.
"Master Li, what do you say?"
Lord Li immediately knelt on the ground, knelt on the ground and said that Weichen didn't know, those words were indeed stolen from Lord Cai Jianyi's concubine's room, and he even argued that it was not necessarily because of his different mood when he wrote it, so that the strength was different, and it was even more fun for the Taishi to listen to it.
"What Lord Li said is also reasonable, but, if the mood is different, this law, the size, should be changed by two points, how can the strength of the hand alone change, the old man looked at the calligraphy and painting on the side, there is a majestic atmosphere, there is a fast pen like the wind, and there are also gentle and beautiful, look at the back of this paper, but there is no one through it, Lord Li is looking for the one who came to copy, or worse~"
Lord Li's silver teeth clenched tighter, the sweat of his hairline flowed into his eyes, he closed his eyes, still gritted and didn't admit it, if he had the ability, he would find out the person who was copying, and he couldn't find the person after the end, and he could still ask you to find it!
