Chapter 166: A Very Detailed Confession
"Lord Wang, I'm going to pull out the needle, there is a little pain, you endure it."
King Rui looked at An'er smiling so happily, and felt that this appearance should not be a little painful. Sure enough, the first needle was pulled out, and King Rui let out a scream like a pig, thirty-nine needles, King Rui fainted in pain several times, and was woken up several times, and when the needles were all pulled out, he was no longer human.
The guards had been listening to the movement in the prison outside, and seemed to hear the screams, but the two adults said that no matter what happened or what they heard, they could not disturb Princess Yu's trial, so at this time he could only lie at the prison door and listen with his ears pricked up.
Until he heard footsteps and hurriedly stood back in his place.
"Go back and tell your family, this is a confession with a fingerprint, and King Rui confesses to his crimes."
The guard glanced at the other piece of paper in Lu Beibei's hand, a little curious, and just wanted to ask again, Ming Ruonan said, "That's a draft, it's okay." Hurry up and change shifts and go back to rest. ”
He saw that the thin and small person carrying a wooden box behind Princess Yu was obviously more excited than when he went in, and he didn't know what he was happy about.
The guards hurriedly thanked Ming Ruonan and earnestly asked if they needed to send them back.
Ming Ruonan waved his hand and smiled extremely gently, not at all like the Rakshasa in the cell just now.
"No, you're tired tonight too." She was just about to turn around, when she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, His Royal Highness King Rui may have contracted the wind cold, and he fed him some medicine just now, but he may have to raise it for a few days, remember to help him change a thicker quilt." ”
Ming Ruonan said and turned to leave.
The guard looked at her back as she left and couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being a princess, not at all ...... as rumored
Before he could finish thinking about this, he saw King Rui dying on the ground, and his heart burned clean with what he had just said......
It's exactly the same as it was rumored!
Bu Xingwang and Gan Yongda listened to the report of their subordinates, their eyebrows were about to fly, and they were speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Aren't you really hurt?"
"Well, I secretly asked the doctor to carefully check it, and there were no scars on my body, not even a bruise!"
Gan Yongda was a little unconvinced, and asked repeatedly: "It's just a cold?" ”
"Hmm. Although I was startled when I went in and saw it, I thought that His Royal Highness King Rui was tortured to death, but when I asked the doctor, I saw that it was indeed only infected with wind and cold, and I didn't know what kind of elixir it was, saying that it would be better tomorrow at most. ”
How did they know that An'er's ice needle was so pierced, no matter what stubborn illness there was hope for recovery.
Although Bu Xingwang didn't know what method Ruonan used, he just saw the half-dead appearance of King Rui, and he was really frightened that he pulled half of his life away, and although he got his life back at this moment, his hand still couldn't stop trembling somehow, and the cup was almost unstable.
Gan Yongda also wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the confession in his hand, sweating even more. You must know that this confession is not only a confession, but also restores the original thing, and not a single detail is missing.
Ruiwang has been planning since the day he became the examiner, until he came up with the idea of making a mark.
This year's sealing system has made many invigilators who have already collected money have no choice but to return all the income they have received, but under the inspiration of Mr., Ruiwang came up with a good idea, which is to make a mark on the paper, so that when the paper is marked, you can sit in the right number, and you can help people cheat.
At the beginning, Ben just figured out a path to steal the question. After King Rui entered the Tribute Courtyard, he transcribed the question on the cheat sheet, and then handed the cheat sheet to the swill collector by the uncle who swept the floor of the Tribute Courtyard, so that the test questions were passed on.
This is a conventional cheating method, and Ruiwang did the same, but Mr. Yu repeatedly reminded him that it was so unsafe, it was better to give another layer of protection when reading the papers. So, King Rui called the two examiners who had canceled the task before, and Hu Guangqiong, who was responsible for affixing the seal, to conspire behind the rockery.
Coincidentally, he was bumped into by Yuan Jing, and Yuan Jing was so coincidental that he alarmed the cat in the yard, and in desperation, he had to come out to greet King Rui. So there was a bunch of after that.
Several ministers looked at the confessions and sighed, this imperial examination fraud is really impossible to prevent, there are policies and countermeasures. Hu Guangqiong actually came up with the idea of water stains. If someone really sees it, they will only think that they have accidentally touched it, who can know that these are actually test papers with "identity".
And after Ruiwang's operation, even if he can't guarantee that all his people will enter the palace test, there is no problem in winning half of the test.
The dignified Imperial Doctor, holding the confession, was worried again, this fraud trial was tried, but whether the confession was handed upwards or not became a problem.
Because in this confession, not only was the imperial examination involved, but also the two crimes of sending people to assassinate Ming Ruonan, who came to Beijing, and selling illicit salt.
Bu Xingwang also walked around the hall again and again, and he really didn't know what to do.
Gan Yongda slapped the table, frowned, and said: "The old man is fifty-three this year, and he is willing to gamble, if Bu Shangshu has concerns, he might as well bear the responsibility for this crime by the old man alone." ”
The furrow on Bu Xingwang's forehead deepened, and he looked at Gan Yongda, unable to figure out whether this was true or false for a while. But it goes without saying what to bet on. They are betting that King Rui will never turn over, and that His Majesty has made this son an outcast!
But in case His Majesty is a little unbearable, then the day King Rui turns over will be the time when they will be buried.
Bu Xingwang's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Gan Yongda's hand and said excitedly: "Lord Gan, why don't you change the gambling method?" ”
What kind of person is Gan Yongda, who has climbed to the second grade, and has long been well versed in the way of officialdom, and at this moment, Bu Xingwang looked at him, and he realized the turnaround.
What the two of them were thinking at the moment was that the King of Gambling Rui couldn't turn over, so it was better to gamble on the King of Reputation to get the Holy Favor.
The two of them knelt in the Qinzheng Hall together with Liu Quan, trembling and not daring to say more.
Emperor Wu looked at this confession, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale for a while. He didn't expect King Rui to do so much.
If it is said that the matter of stabbing Ming Ruonan can be suppressed, but this fraudulent matter, everyone has confessed without exception, plus the previous physical evidence, as well as the correspondence of selling illicit salt, the evidence is ironclad, and there is no room for washing the ground.
Emperor Wu stroked his chest, feeling out of breath, and didn't know why his sons were more angry than the other. He looked at the three kneeling on the ground, and frowned slightly: "This is your trial?" ”
The three of them glanced at each other, not daring to deceive: "Back to Your Majesty, please honor the king, help me a little......"
When Emperor Wu heard this, he asked anxiously, "Is the fifth child okay?" ”
Gan Yongda's brows furrowed, worried that Emperor Wu would soften his heart because he cared about King Rui, and hurriedly said: "I was infected with the wind and cold yesterday, and I have seen it today." ”
Bu Xingwang hurriedly agreed: "Your Highness can eat and sleep, and his body is very healthy. ”
If Emperor Wu was still concerned about it just now, when he heard the word "Kangjian" at this moment, he instantly became angry.
"Get up and go to prison."
