Sure enough, as long as you follow the Yang family, you can rise to prominence, what is it to embezzle some money, the Yang family has great powers, even if it is the emperor, you don't have to pay attention to it.

"Please also, Lord Ye, you are suffering for a few days, and the small ones can't stay for long."

The jailer put down the food and left, Father Ye saw those exquisite snacks and hurriedly ate them all, these days in prison are simply not human days, and now they can be regarded as able to solve their cravings.

When he ate these snacks, he had no idea that the delicate-looking dim sum was actually the thing that sent him on his way.

Father Ye choked his throat tightly, he felt that he couldn't breathe.

Snacks are poisonous!

He tried to spit out the snacks, but it was too late, and there was enough poison in them, and he would surely die if he ate them.

When the jailer found out that Ye's father was dead, his body was completely stiff.

Gu Moxi came to the prison and looked at the corpse on the ground, pretending to have experienced the corpse, and was sure that he had died of poisoning.

"Who are the men guarding him?"

"Returning to your lordship...... The jailers were all dead. ”

As if to cover up something, all the jailers who had been in contact with Father Ye in the prison in the past few days had died, and the cause of death was the same as Lord Ye's, it was poison.

Someone deliberately poisoned the case and didn't want the case to continue to be investigated.

Gu Moxi closed his eyes, after all, he was negligent in taking precautions.

Lord Ye died, and all the clues were broken, Gu Moxi took someone to copy the Ye family, and found a lot of silver in the Ye Mansion.

The silver of the white flowers is like a small mountain, and I don't know how many people can make up so much silver.

The silver was sent to the emperor along with the incriminating evidence, and the emperor asked Gu Moxi if he could find out who else was involved behind the Ye family, Gu Moxi shook his head.

Yang Yan smiled secretly in his heart, fortunately he was cautious, all the money was placed in the Ye family, and those official contacts were also from Ye's father, and after Ye's father died, there was no one to testify to him.

However, Yang Yan is the chief examiner of this imperial examination after all, and he cannot escape the blame.

"It was the minister's lax discipline of his subordinates that caused such a horrific thing to happen, and the minister was willing to ask for the guilt."

Yang Yan and Yang Taishi knelt down together, saying that although they didn't know about this matter, Father Ye was Yang Yan's subordinate, and they should also be held responsible.

The person is already dead, Gu Mo regrets that he has no evidence, and he can't help the Yang family, plus Yang Yan and Yang Taishi are now willing to take responsibility, even if the emperor is not good at what to say.

"Since there is serious fraud in this year's imperial examination, then the examination will be restarted, starting with the township examination, and as for the silver, it will all be collected by the state treasury."

The emperor made a decree and punished the father and son of the Yang family for one year, which was regarded as a punishment, and as for those officials who were involved, they were demoted by two levels.

For the Yang family, the punishment is already very light, and the emperor knows that this matter is not simple, but he has to take into account the ministers of the court, and he has to take into account the queen's face.

Yang Yan personally went to Lin's house to apologize for his guilt and felt guilty about Lin Yi, saying that he was deceived by the villain at that time to misunderstand Lin Yi, hoping that Lin Yi could ignore his previous suspicions.

He also gave a lot of body-tonic herbs and precious gifts, which should be used as reparations.

Jiang Li sent Yang Yan away with a cold face, he was just putting on a show, and showing it to the emperor was also for the people of the world, which would only make Jiang Li and Lin Yi feel disgusting.

"Although Yang Yun hates it, these things are innocent, so I think it's good to exchange all these things for silver."

Lu Cancan counted them one by one, calculating in his heart how much money these things could be exchanged for, how much money he could make if he put them in the silver number, anyway, they were all given by Yang Yan, and it was not too much to make some money from these things.

"Since it's all looted people's fat and ointment, let's use it for disaster relief."

Although the drought in the northwest has eased, the life of the people is still very difficult, and the emperor punished a group of officials who embezzled disaster money some time ago, and they actually mixed sand in the rice for the victims to eat.

"It's okay, you send a few reliable people to the northwest, but you must not be greedy."

Lu Cancan likes money, yes, but she also cares about the people.

The imperial examination has now started again, and Gu Moxi has become the chief examiner again, thinking that this time he will definitely be able to give students from all over the world a fair examination.

The Ye Mansion has been sealed, everyone is scattered, those women before Father Ye are all trying to find a home for themselves, and Ye Qing is temporarily living in the inn.

Before the Ye family's accident, she was a noble daughter in the capital, but now, she is the daughter of a criminal minister.

She has a white flower on her head, because Ye's father is a criminal minister, Ye Qing can't wear filial piety for her father openly, she can only bring a small white flower to show that she is filial piety.

In the past, those noble ladies who had befriended her avoided her like flies, and she also wanted to go over to find Yang Yan, but now she can't enter the Yang family at all.

The emperor was merciful, but he copied the Ye family and did not punish the rest of the Ye family, but Ye Qing now has nothing but a little scattered silver on his body.

Jade still does not abandon Ye Qing, she has served in the Ye family since she was a child, and now she doesn't know where she can go except for Ye Qing.

"If you don't make up the money you owe, I'll kick you out tomorrow."

The owner of the inn was a little impatient when he saw that Ye Qing had been in arrears for several days on credit, he opened the door to do business, not to open a almshouse, if he couldn't come up with the money, he would get out of it as soon as possible.

"Boss, can you give a few days, I will pay you back as soon as I have the money."

Ye Qing thought that there were so many people in the capital, there would always be one who was willing to help him, and in a few days, he would definitely be able to get the money.

But the boss didn't think so, he felt that he was already very kind to let Ye Qing live here, and he wouldn't keep her anyway if he didn't give money, no matter who she was.

"I see that you still have a bit of beauty, if you can't come up with the money, just go to Huahai Pavilion to perform."

"How can you say that about our young lady."

The innkeeper sneered at their master and servant, thinking that they were young ladies, the Ye family had been copied, and they were now inferior to themselves.

"I'll tell you, I'm up to me here, so let's go."

Saying that, the boss directly threw their luggage out, although Jade wanted to protect Ye Qing, she was also powerless.

"Stop."

Just when the boss threw something, Lin Yi came.

"I'll help them pay for their room."

Lin Yi took out a piece of silver and gave it to the boss, which was enough for Ye Qing to continue to live for a few months.

"Thank you, Childe."

Ye Qing didn't expect that Lin Yi was willing to help him at this time, and looked at Lin Yi expectantly, could it be that he still felt sorry for himself?
