Lin Ziping seems to have been eyeing Xu Xiuwen recently, and he always has to refer to him whenever he goes to court. It is indeed not to blame Lin Ziping for loving him, this Xu Xiuwen is indeed useless.

Usually in the household department, there is always the shelf of the eldest young master, and the things that need to be dealt with by him are all placed there, and in the end, it falls on Lin Ziping's head. And Lin Ziping did so many things uselessly, and the credit was taken by Xu Xiuwen.

He had always been a proud man, how could he allow such a thing to happen. That's why he repeatedly participated in Xu Xiuwen, so that he didn't mix well in the household department.

Jia Xuming naturally didn't want to offend Xu Xiuwen, and it was nothing for a person like Lin Ziping with no background to be bullied, so he also turned a blind eye.

Lin Ziping looked down on all this, and also understood that he was not Xu Xiuwen's opponent. It's just that he didn't know that the emperor's state of mind was different at this time. He was now trying to be angry with the Xu family, and Lin Ziping's participation just made him very comfortable.

Just as Lin Ziping accused Xu Xiuwen of dereliction of duty and approved the document at will, Zhen Xueyi stood up and said that he had something to do. His voice was very calm: "Your Majesty, the minister found out that Xu Xiuwen and Xu Shilang asked someone to take the exam on their behalf during the scientific examination. ”

Hearing this, not only the emperor, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, except for the calm and gentle salute and the enthusiastic Liu Moxing.

The emperor immediately sat up straight, and asked seriously: "Zhen Aiqing, you can't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?" ”

Zhen Xueyi was still very calm and said: "The minister naturally has evidence to say such things. ”

After speaking, Zhen Xueyi handed over a volume of documents and a test paper, and the eunuch took it and handed it to the emperor. When the emperor browsed, Zhen Xueyi continued: "When Emperor Qiqi's ministers were sorting out the test papers a few days ago, they saw Xu Shilang's test papers, and felt that the handwriting was different from the documents he wrote. So he looked at each other, and the minister thought that the two pieces of paper were not from the same person. ”

Xu Xiuwen seemed to look at Xu Jingzhi with some fear, Xu Jingzhi signaled him to be calm, after all, the ghostwriter had long been removed, and now there is no proof of death.

After reading it, the emperor looked a little unhappy. He looked at Xu Xiuwen and asked, "Xu Shilang, what do you have to say?" ”

Xu Xiuwen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged. This test paper is indeed answered by the minister, and it is impossible for people to write the same words at any time, and you can't suspect that the minister is looking for someone to take the test on behalf of you because the handwriting is different! ”

The emperor glanced at him coldly, he was not stupid, naturally he would not believe such a statement. Then he looked at Zhen Xueyi and asked, "Zhen Aiqing, if what you said is true, has anyone found the ghostwriter?" ”

Zhen Xueyi was still very calm and said: "No." However, the minister thinks that Dr. Xu will not let this person live, and it is normal to not find it. ”

When Xu Jingzhi heard Zhen Xueyi say this, his expression became serious, and he saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister and the child are all wronged. You can't just rely on these two pieces of paper and Zhen Xueyi's words to conclude that my son will find someone to take the exam on his behalf. ”

"Since it's not a proxy test, what you write should have a memory, right?" Liu Moxing's voice was cool, he had always watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

Hearing Liu Moxing say this, Xu Xiuwen was even more scared. He had no ink on his chest, and he was able to sit in this position entirely by relying on his father, and he didn't know anything about what that man had written.

The emperor glanced at Liu Moxing, and his expression was very relaxed. So he looked at Xu Xiuwen and said: "Liu Aiqing is very right, since Xu Aiqing didn't find someone to write for her, she must remember what she wrote." I'm here to ask you what you think about the floods in the south, and what was your answer at that time? ”

Candidates who have taken the test know that there was no such question on the test paper at that time. Xu Xiuwen found someone to ghostwrite, so naturally he didn't know. After thinking about it in his mind for a while, he said: "Yixing repairs water conservancy and strengthens the embankment......."

Halfway through speaking, but he didn't know how to make it up, the emperor smiled coldly and said, "Lin Aiqing, what did you write at that time?" ”

Lin Ziping didn't expect the emperor to point to him, so he saluted him and said: "Your Majesty, the minister never answered this question at the beginning. ”

The emperor looked at Xu Xiuwen's eyes becoming dangerous, and he said with a smile: "Xu Xiuwen, you are so bold, you dare to bully the king!" ”

Only then did Xu Xiuwen realize that the emperor was testing him, and he immediately wanted to bite off his tongue. Xu Jingzhi didn't know how to circle at this moment, so he knelt down to the emperor and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, Xiao'er is just confused for a while!" I also hope that the emperor will look at his young age and let him fall lightly. ”

"Lord Xu, this is a great crime of bullying! How do you get a light hair? Liu Moxing still spoke coolly on the side.

Xu Jingzhi glanced at Liu Moxing hatefully, and then said to the emperor: "The child is young and ignorant and committed this crime, it is because the old minister is not strict in discipline, and please let the emperor let the child go and cure the old minister's crime." ”

"Lord Xu, your sin is naturally to be treated, and it is not only about lax discipline." Wen Zhili, who had not spoken, spoke at this time.

After speaking, he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have evidence of Dr. Xu's collusion with the gangs in the rivers and lakes. ”

In Wen Zhili's hand was the confession written by Wu Qiong, and the emperor was furious after reading it. He said to Xu Jingzhi: "Xu Jingzhi, I respect you as an old minister, and tolerate you everywhere, I didn't expect you to collude with gangs in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, and the minister has never colluded with the gangs!" Xu Jingzhi really didn't expect Wen Zhili to get Wu Qiong's confession.

"Never?" Wen Zhili sneered, "Doctor Xu, the killers and people from Heiyun Village you sent came to my Wuzhou Courtyard to kill me, but I saw those people with my own eyes, is it possible that you want to say that I was wrong?" ”

After speaking, Wen Zhili looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is not false, if the emperor does not believe it, he can go to Wuzhou to investigate this matter thoroughly." It is estimated that there are still those people's belongings in the governor's office, which can prove that what the minister said is true. ”

Now in this court, no one will doubt that Wen Zhili's words are false, and no one dares to doubt them. If Liu Moxing doesn't speak, then what Wen Zhili said must be true, because this is power.

The emperor was naturally not stupid enough to offend Wen Zhili because of Xu Jingzhi, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair and said: "Bold Xu Jingzhi, he dared to collude with the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to murder the court officials." ”

"Your Majesty, Dr. Xu has done more than that." Wen Zhili smiled very coldly.

At this time, Zhang Ruoling walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ruoling also came out and intervened, the emperor understood that Xu Jingzhi couldn't get rid of it today.

Glancing at Xu Jing, Zhang Ruoling said coldly: "At the beginning, Xu Shilang had a dispute with a woman and made a fuss about his life, and he hasn't dealt with it yet!" And can the account of molesting the little girl be counted together? ”
