Although the imperial examination is a grand ceremony of the national dynasty, although it is advertised as a coat of fairness, justice and openness, as the minister of the imperial mission, Mao Yimin deeply knows that it contains countless cats, and the interests of all parties are intricately entangled, which is the reason why every imperial examination is always shouted for injustice.

It's just that most of the people who have been shouting injustice are poor students, who have no power or power, and they will stop shouting a few times. The average family is one side of the whirlpool, and they know the rules of behavior well, so they will not act casually, unless it is irreconcilable.

This time, I went to Qincha Xingyuan to report the Jinling Xu family, a huge family, and Xu Wen in the clan is a household servant, well, he is still the same branch of Qincha Mao Yimin.

And the new Jin Township reported by the Xu family tried to solve Yuan Han Fei, who is also a big household in Jinling, and his reputation has spread all over the world, and Mao Yimin heard about this character when he was in Beijing. rushed from Beijing to Jiangnan, and along the way, it was like thunder, praising Han Fei's benevolence everywhere.

The Xu family's son reported Han Fei, and his mother participated in the county examination before the new mourning and filial piety period expired, violating the regulations that he was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination during the Dahua filial piety period, and demanded that Han Fei's fame be revoked.

This is a very serious problem, Dahua governs the country with filial piety, and the imperial court has a clear rule that you are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination during the period of filial piety, unless you get the emperor's decree. The last point, Mao Yimin didn't even think about it, so he denied it, even if Han Fei became famous, he was just a grass people, how could the emperor make an order to win love?

However, Mao Yimin was also very puzzled, since Han Fei has such a benevolent name, he should be a filial son, how could he participate in the imperial examination before the filial piety period has expired? Could it be that he is simply a person who fishes for fame and fame? But it doesn't seem to be like it, Han Fei saved the people by planting pox, and Jiangning County sacrificed himself to save others, which are obvious to all, and it is impossible to fake.

Since Mao Yimin was entrusted by the emperor with the important task of inspecting the rule of officials in Jiangnan, he was naturally a delicate person, and he intuitively felt that there must be something else hidden in this case. He took the case very seriously, but did not immediately summon the parties and decided to investigate secretly first.

He first went to the streets of Jinling to investigate the people's perception of Han Fei, but as he got to know better, he became more and more shocked by Han Fei's background.

Han Fei's ability to call for wind and rain in the business world is not to mention for the time being, and his connections are also extremely complicated. Han Fei's master is Du Yun, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and his senior brother is Yu Shiying, the prefect of Yingtianfu, who has a good relationship with Jiang Feng, the governor of Jiangsu, and Hong Fangzhi, a scholar of politics.

What kind of person is this? This is enough to cover the sky with one hand in Ying Tianfu!

As a result, Mao Yimin heard rumors that "the downfall of the previous governor Zeng Gong was promoted by Han Fei behind the scenes", and he was also convinced. In the process of investigation, he also heard that the Xu family in Jinling had a grudge with the Han family because of the failure of business competition, but he thought that it was just a matter of the business world and did not take it to heart.

Mao Yimin's analysis of the situation in his grasp shows that this is probably not a simple case of fraud in the imperial examination, this case involves so many officials and local forces, and if it is clearly investigated, it may be a shocking case. Qincha's mission is to investigate the case, if he cracks such a big case, he will definitely be rewarded when he returns to Beijing, thinking of this, he can't help but feel ecstatic.

The root of this case is still in Gaochun County, and Mao Yimin should dispatch capable people to Gaochun County to investigate whether Han Fei did indeed participate in the county examination during his mother's funeral, and why he was able to successfully pass the inspection and participate in the county examination.

In the process of investigation, Mao Yimin obtained another important piece of information, the county magistrate Leng Feng, who supported Han Fei's county test, had an unusual relationship with Han Fei, and his promotion can be said to be entirely because of Han Fei's contribution to fighting the smallpox plague for him. From this point, Mao Yimin can be sure that the original county test must be greasy.

Although Mao Yimin's investigation did not make a big move, the news that Han Fei was reported by the Xu family for participating in the imperial examination before the filial piety period expired was leaked.

This news is absolutely explosive news, it can be said that it is spreading at the speed of light, and it spreads to every corner of Jinling City in an instant, and public opinion in Jinling is in an uproar. The streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, almost every place where people gather, are talking about this matter. People's views oscillated between Han Fei's filial piety and benevolence, and the confrontation of public opinion was very intense.

Many scholars and doctors did not approve of Han Fei's move to participate in the imperial examination before the filial piety period expired, but ordinary people held high the banner of Han Fei's benevolence, thinking that Han Fei was loyal and filial to the country.

However, as a party at the center of the storm, the Han government was still calm, and the civil declaration controlled by the Han government did not say a word about the matter. Someone inquired about the Han government, and the Han government's external caliber was "I believe that Lord Qincha will make a clear decision." There are also people in the officialdom who went to ask Yu Shiying, the prefect of Yingtianfu, who was closely concerned about the Han government, but the reply he received was "suspected of this case and unwilling to comment".

Of course, shrewd people have already seen something from this, if this case is verified, Han Fei will definitely be revoked and the officials implicated will also be punished, why can Han Fu and Yu Shiying, the prefect of Yingtianfu, be so calm?

The Han Mansion dealt with the cold outside, but the inside was a frying pan, and some people who didn't know the inside story were very worried, and even Xue Zhen, who had always been gentle and elegant, slapped the table and smashed the bench in public, scolded the Xu family in Jinling, and vowed to completely beat the Xu family down in the shopping mall. Of course, there are still many people who care about Han Fei, who are operating quietly, but they don't know about Han Fei.

Han Fei saw that Xue Zhen was as anxious as a fire, and Liu Rushi and the others, who entered the mansion later, were also worried, so he said: "You all rest assured, no matter how the Xu family tosses and how Lord Qincha investigates, I will be fine!" ”

"Second brother, you don't want the seriousness of this matter!" Xue Zhen said anxiously: "It is taboo to participate in the scientific examination before the filial piety period is completed, once it is verified, your fame will be canceled, and you will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination!" ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I had another inside story when I participated in the county exam!" Han Fei immediately explained in a low voice the reason for taking the exam.

"Second brother, since there is such a reason, why don't you announce it? Those rumors outside will affect your reputation! ”

"Big brother, sooner or later, someone will pick out this matter, just take this opportunity to let everyone argue and argue, so as not to cause trouble again in the future!"

Qin Cha Mao Yimin found out that Han Fei did participate in the county examination before his mother's new mourning and filial piety period, and the government examination that year was also during the filial piety period, that is to say, Han Fei's fame was illegal from the beginning.

The evidence is ironclad, and there is no room for Han Fei to deny it, and Mao Yimin has already made a decision to cancel Han Fei's fame in his heart, and has even drafted a decision to impeach officials related to this case. It was the time for such a big case to become famous, and he decided to try it publicly, first to confirm the case of Han Fei's fraud in the imperial examination, and then to the court to impeach the relevant officials.

The impact of this case was too great, and on the day of the trial, the crowd of onlookers outside the Qincha Xingyuan was overwhelming. In the lobby, Qin sent Mao Yimin to sit behind the long case.

As the plaintiff's Xu family, there are the head of the Xu family, Xu Zheng, the second place in the township test, etc., and almost all the main characters are dispatched, they have already received the news and determined that they will win the lawsuit, all of them are excited and proud. Xu Zheng is even more arrogant, because after canceling Han Fei's fame, he is the township test Xie Yuan.

Defendant side...... Han Fei has not yet appeared.

Qin Cha Mao Yimin was shocked and shouted: "Summoning the defendant Han ......"

At this moment, a shout came from outside the door, "Han Gongzi is here—"

Han Fei was dressed in a lifter's costume, and when he arrived at Qinchaxing, the onlookers silently made way of a passage. He was alone, with a calm expression, smiling and greeting everyone on both sides, and slowly walking into the Qincha Xingyuan.
