Chapter 122: The Case of Fraud in the Imperial Examination

Shen Yueying was anxious when she heard this, and asked anxiously, "Lord Jiang, what should I do next?" ”

Governor Jiang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let this official think about it." ”

"Buckle ...... Buckle...... Buckle ......"

The atmosphere in the study was a little dull, Governor Jiang's nails hit the desk, and Shen Yueying didn't dare to take a breath.

Governor Jiang seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up and said: "There is a way, you must come forward to report this matter, and you can't turn this matter out by my hands, you come with your ears." ”

Shen Yueying turned her ears over, and Governor Jiang learned that Suosuo had said for a while, Shen Yueying kept nodding, and her face finally outlined a smile.

Five days later, Jiang Yuting's wedding was grandly held, and Shen Yueying sent a few silks to Jiang Mansion as Jiang Yuting's best friend, and then entered the mansion with Yu Hua to attend the wedding banquet.

The wedding went smoothly, and the wedding banquet began after the bride and groom were completed, and Shen Yueying kept an eye on Lord Ding's movements.

After Lord Ding and a few examiners pushed the cups and changed the lamps, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Shen Yueying and Yu Hua took the opportunity to go back to the outside of the wedding banquet to stop Lord Ding who was going to the toilet.

Lord Ding was blocked from the way, looked at the pair of men and women in front of him with an unkind face, and then said unhappily: "Who are you, why did you block the way of this official for no reason!" ”

Shen Yueying sneered and said, "The two of us have been looking up to Lord Ding's name for a long time, and today we have a generous gift to give to you. ”

When Lord Ding heard Shen Yueying say that he wanted to give a gift, he believed it, and hurriedly glanced around, worried that his colleagues would hear it.

Lord Ding pretended to cough and said, "This official does not accept gifts, if you have something, go back to my house and say it." ”

Shen Yueying looked at Lord Ding and really had a wishful thinking, suggesting that the two of them would send things to him to attach, and she was a little speechless.

Shen Yueying didn't pretend anymore, and said straight to the point: "Since Lord Ding keeps saying that he won't accept gifts, then what's the matter with my gift list and thank you letter about Lord Ding receiving gifts from Governor Hu's mansion?" ”

Lord Ding listened to Shen Yueying's words, his mind buzzed, his drunkenness dissipated a little, and he looked at Shen Yueying and Yu Hua with a shocked face.

Shen Yueying took Yu Hua's arm and said, "Xianggong, since Lord Ding doesn't accept it, let's take it to the prefect." ”

The two of them said that they would go to the banquet hall, and Lord Ding suddenly came back to his senses and felt that he had chased in, but Yu Hua and Shen Yueying didn't give him a chance at all, and walked straight to Governor Jiang's side.

Yu Hua clasped his hands into fists and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the students have disturbed your adults Yaxing." ”

The officials at Governor Jiang's table all looked at Yu Hua, and Governor Jiang was also an old actor, and asked knowingly: "You know that you are disturbing, there must be something to say?" ”

Yu Hua hugged his fists here to apologize, and then said: "There is indeed something important, the student's wife is working as an embroiderer in the Hu Governor's Mansion, and I accidentally found a letter of thanks written by the Hu Governor's Mansion to the examiner Ding, which is related to fraud in the examination room!" ”

Yu Hua's words were like a burst of thunder, the faces of the people present changed, and the lively wedding banquet suddenly became loud, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the movement here.

"What proof do you have, this kind of thing is not something that can be said casually!" Governor Jiang said majestically.

Yu Hua calmly took out the letter of thanks and gift list written by Hu Zhifu to Lord Ding from his arms, and it was too late for Lord Ding to step forward to stop him.

After Governor Jiang read the letter, he crossed over to everyone, and several examiners were pale, and they all said that they would jointly write to Lord Ding and Governor Hu, and Lord Ding's face was like ashes.

Governor Jiang saw that the effect had been achieved, and the crowd was furious, and Governor Hu and Examiner Ding would inevitably ride the tiger and make it difficult for them to get down, and when the matter reached the emperor, it would depend on how the emperor decided.

......

After the goal was achieved, Yu Hua took Shen Yueying and left the Jiang Mansion, but Lord Ding chased him out without giving up and stopped Yu Hua and Shen Yueying.

Lord Ding begged Shen Yueying to let him go, saying that as long as Shen Yueying could stand up and say that the evidence was fake, he could let her husband be promoted, and threatened the two of them and said that Hu Guiren was in the palace and was in the favor, and if this matter was suppressed by the nobles, he would still have nothing to do, and it would be difficult to say who would be the sword and who would be the fish and meat at that time.

Yu Hua disdained this kind of transaction, and said loudly: "My generation of scholars has read the books of sages and sages, in order to establish their hearts for the people and establish their lives for the people, how can they agree to you this kind of deed, even if you can really get rid of your crimes, I have a sense of righteousness and am not afraid of you!" ”

"Well said!" Governor Jiang's voice came.

When Lord Ding chased him out just now, Governor Jiang came out with a few examiners, and then he also heard Lord Ding's threatening remarks about Yu Hua, which can be said to be the first to be arrested.

Lord Ding was depressed and speechless.

The next day, the palace of Jinluan.

The emperor, who has listened to the political affairs of various places, is already a little tired.

only glanced at the big eunuch beside him.

The father-in-law immediately realized the emperor's eyes.

"Something is playing, nothing is going to retreat!" The eunuch's shrill voice suddenly floated throughout the Jinluan Palace.

Governor Jiang, who was standing among the officials, immediately looked at the several examiners of the Ministry of Rites on his left slope.

After receiving their slight nods, Governor Jiang immediately took a step to the left and came to the middle aisle.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has a book to play!"

The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, rubbed his temples with his hands, and cheered up a little, "What is the important thing for Governor Jiang?" ”

"Back to the emperor, in this imperial examination, Lord Ding accepted bribes from Lord Hu to change the ranking of the candidates, and because her daughter is the palace maid next to the queen, she will coerce all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to join the same stream, and I hope the emperor will see it!"

After Governor Jiang finished speaking, several officials of the Ministry of Rites who had signaled to him before also stepped into the aisle and said in unison.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Hearing this formation, the emperor's sleepiness disappeared completely and he sat up straight.

"Is there such a thing? What evidence does Aiqing have? ”

"Back to the emperor, this is the evidence of this matter."

Governor Jiang slowly put his hand into his arms and took out the thank you letter and gift list.

Seeing this, the big eunuch beside the emperor hurriedly came to take away the evidence in Governor Jiang's hands.

The emperor took the evidence from the eunuch's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became.

"I didn't expect there to be such a kingless person! Empress Xuan and the palace maids beside her, investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

While speaking, the emperor slapped his hand heavily on the table in front of him, obviously very angry.

Soon, the queen and the palace maids around her came to the Jinluan Palace.

"I don't know what the emperor's concubine is?"

The queen asked the emperor suspiciously, thinking about her cautious words and deeds these days, the queen was even more confused.
