"You put your head up." Looking at Wei Chengmo's prostrate appearance on the ground, Lu Zhen then commanded. The other party didn't dare to disobey, so he straightened his waist slightly timidly, looked up, and showed a begging for mercy: "My lord, please ask, as long as the lower officials know, they must not dare to hide it." "Don't say that he has seen Liu Muqing's fate just now, even if he doesn't, with his guts, he doesn't dare to lie to Lu Jin.

"Let me ask you, why did you think of blaming this official for all the crimes?" Lu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

After Wei Chengmo heard this question, his heart moved, and he hurriedly replied: "My lord, the lower officials are really forced to do this. At that time, those adults took down Xiaguan and Yao Baihu on the spot, and Xiaguan couldn't even say a word of explanation. In a panic, someone guided him from the side, which made the subordinate confused for a while, and said something to shirk responsibility. As a result, after the incident, they threatened him again, and the subordinate had no choice but to ...... "While speaking, he lowered his head again and bowed heavily to apologize.

Lu Zhen nodded: "Then let me ask you, who is the one who led you to put the blame on this official?" ”

"Yes...... At that time, the deputy chief examiner, Xu Youzhen in the Ministry of Rites. At this time, Wei Chengmo naturally didn't dare to hide anything.

Lu Zhen snorted, and his heart was really him. When he knew that Xu Youzhen had something to do with this incident, he guessed something, and now he got the exact answer from Wei Chengmo's mouth. It seems that this person has indeed been in this situation from the beginning, and he has also been involved with many officials in the DPRK and China, and even with Shi Heng, who is far away at the border.

Up to now, the people behind this big net against themselves have surfaced one by one - Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Liu Muqing...... There are two of them who he cares about very much, and they may help Zhu Qizhen to restore in the future, and it is unbelievable to say that there is no connection between them.

After exhaling slowly, Lu Jincai said again: "Did you contact other people after that?" For example, someone will teach you how to plant this accusation on my head more conclusively? ”

Wei Chengmo shook his head blankly: "This is gone." Since the lower official was taken out of the examination room, he has been imprisoned in the yamen of the criminal department, and until the interrogation that day, he was brought to the lobby. ”

"Is that true?"

"The lower officials don't dare to deceive the adults." Saying that, he also wanted to swear an oath, but was interrupted by Lu Jin's words: "Okay, then the official has the right and believes that what you say is true." Sign this confession first. As he spoke, his subordinate handed him a confession full of confessions.

Wei Chengmo naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly signed his name and put his handprint. Then he looked at Lu Jin again with a begging face and said, "My lord, the lower official knows that he is wrong, and I hope that you will spare the lower official regardless of the villain." ”

Lu Zhen glanced at the confession, put it aside, and then said, "Don't worry, the official's strength is not so small." However, although I can spare you, the law of the land may not spare you. Since you were taken down red-handed when you peeked at the test questions, you will be severely punished by the imperial court. ”

"Ah......" Wei Chengmo suddenly panicked again. But he didn't dare to ask Lu Zhen for help anymore. If he hadn't betrayed Lu Jin,

Maybe the other party still has the obligation to help him intercede and get rid of his crimes, but now, it is already magnanimous not to punish him personally, and Lu Zhen naturally can't protect him anymore.

With a look of despair and regret, Wei Chengmo was also taken down. Subsequently, Lu Zhen asked people to bring Zhou Lu to him and interrogated him again.

In fact, Jin Yiwei had already asked this person in detail before, but now he just asked one more question, and from his mouth, it was only confirmed that Liu Muqing was the person behind the trick to lure Lu Jinzhong. As for why the other party did this, and whether there was any other deeper purpose, it was not something that Zhou Lu, who acted at orders, could know. Even if he did suffer a little, the confession did not change much.

In this way, the key point of this matter still has to fall on Liu Muqing. As long as he pried open his mouth and asked him to tell the people behind the scenes who instructed him to do all this, Lu Zhen would almost be able to lock on to his target. He believed that in addition to the few people he had mastered now, there must be someone with a higher identity than them in this capital who was hiding behind his back and controlling everything.

But at present, this Liu Muqing's mouth is really not easy to pry, but I don't know if the torture of Jinyiwei can make him speak. Fortunately, in addition to him, Lu Zhen has another breakthrough, that is, Xu Youzhen, who is still out of the way, but has done a lot of things. It's time to move him.

"Someone." Lu Zhen immediately shouted outside, Lu Jin naturally couldn't let go of this hidden danger.

The two men immediately came to the door, and answered with their hands: "What does the governor command?" ”

"Today isn't the time to try, is it? Let Qinggel take someone to the Gongyuan and bring the deputy examiner Xu Youzhen back to the Zhenfu Division for questioning. Lu Zhen immediately ordered.

The two subordinates hurriedly agreed, and one of them quickly ran to give the order. Qinggel did not have any delay, and after receiving the order, he ordered dozens of subordinates and went out of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division in a murderous manner.

@@@@@

At this time, in the entire city of Beijing, if you want to ask where is the most quiet, in addition to the imperial palace, you have to count the Gongyuan.

Elsewhere, even if it is a yamen, there will inevitably be some bloody candidates who will run to make trouble, and as for the teahouse and restaurant, it is even more occupied by candidates who speak out about the injustice of the imperial court. It is only on the side of the Gongyuan, because they know that they have to come here for the exam next, so those movers dare not come here to be presumptuous.

However, the calm here was soon broken by dozens of rushing horsemen, and when a cadre of soldiers guarding the door saw many brocade guards coming menacingly, they obviously showed a stunned expression. But even if they were vague, they had to step forward to stop them and ask them what they meant.

"We were ordered to take people, and asked the deputy examiner Xu Youzhen to come out and be tied up, otherwise we will go in and get people ourselves." Qinggel didn't really bring anyone into the examination room, but just spoke with a straight face.

"This ...... My lord, do you know that this examination room was closed nearly a month ago, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out. The leading officer said with some embarrassment.

"Hmph, someone was escorted out of it earlier, and now it's not going to be a test, what's not going to come out? We

But after being instructed by the Son of Heaven to handle cases and take people, do you dare to disobey the will? Or are you the same party of Xu Youzhen, so you have to defend him? Qingler immediately asked sharply, full of momentum, so that people did not dare to look at him.

The soldiers guarding the door naturally didn't dare to disobey him, so they could only turn around and come to the closed dragon gate, pass the news in, and let the guards inside bring a letter to Xu Youzhen. As they spoke, Qingler reminded him in a loud voice: "You tell him, don't expect us to do anything about him if you huddle in the examination room." If he refuses to come out on his own, we will have no choice but to go in and get people, and then he will lose even more people. ”

After saying this, Qingler led people to guard the door, waiting for the reaction from inside.

At the same time, everyone in the examination room was already surprised, and Meng Tingyue, the examiner of this subject, was even more pale, and even more reasonable. He does have reason to be angry, because there have been so many changes in this exam, not only have the examiners peeked at the test questions, but now the people of Jinyiwei are actually making trouble in front of the door to take people, and they really can't use this etiquette waiter as a decoration?

The other fellow examiners were also red-faced, and said that Xu Youzhen should not be frightened by the brocade guards outside, just stay here, and forgive those people and not dare to really enter the examination room to make trouble.

However, Xu Youzhen knew that obviously the overall plan had gone wrong this time, so Jinyiwei dared to come to the examination room so blatantly to arrest him. This time, he was completely on the opposite side of Lu Zhen and Jinyiwei, if he refused to go out, he was afraid that they would really rush in directly. At that time, whether it was Meng Tingyue, the chief examiner, or other colleagues, it would be impossible for them to fight against Jinyiwei for themselves. If the final outcome was already predictable, why should he bring shame on himself?

So, after some thought, Xu Youzhen still bowed his hand to these officials: "Your lords' intentions are already understood. But after all, the examination room is not as good as other places, and I can't let those brocade guards come in because the officials are alone, so I'd better go out. But the Qing is self-purifying, these minions of the brocade guards don't want to take any holy order to frame me. As he spoke, he simply waved the sleeves of his robe and strode out.

"Lord Xu......" Hearing him say this, and doing it again, Meng Tingyue and the others were deeply touched, but in the end, they didn't dare to stop it. After all, the Jinyi guards outside are not something they dare to provoke easily, and the lessons of the convicted officials of the Criminal Department and the Household Department are still in front of them.

After waiting outside the dragon gate for more than half an hour, and not seeing Xu Youzhen come out, Qinggele and they were obviously a little impatient: "It seems that Xu Youzhen is planning to be a turtle with a shrunken head." In this case, then we can only break the rules and enter the examination room to get people! As he spoke, everyone had already shown their knives and put on a posture of attacking the door of the examination room.

At this moment, a broken cry rang out from behind him: "Stop! Xu Youzhen is here! It turned out that he did not come out of the main gate, but went around the corner gate on the side, and it was a little late.

Qinggele and the others turned around sharply, and saw Lord Xu with an indignant face standing there like a green pine: "Aren't you going to take me?" Just come up, I have a clear conscience! "Even at this time, our Lord Xu still looks like he is upright......
