Chapter 70: He Is the Mastermind (2)
Shi Ke knelt on the ground with a plop and said blankly: "Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense, the villain has never seen him at all, let alone threatened him as he said, blame King Yu, please Your Majesty to investigate, and return the villain to a clean slate." Cold sweat broke out in the palms of his hands, this was the first time he had seen the holy face of the Son of Heaven.
"Oh, so Junko is talking nonsense?" His Majesty looked at Shi Ke on the ground lightly, and then shifted his gaze to Shi Yu, as if waiting for him to speak.
Realizing that His Majesty's gaze fell on him, Shi Yu said, "Your Majesty, the minister can guarantee that Shi Ke will never do such evil things. ”
After receiving His Majesty's instructions, Wang Yaolin sent someone to bring Shunzi's sister up, and as soon as Shunzi's sister came up, she was about to rush towards Shi Ke, and shouted at him with bared teeth: "Brother, he is the one who kidnapped me, brother, he is the wicked man, brother." "I can't hate to bite the stone family, this damn wicked person.
Wang Yaolin bowed to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the minister has a few questions that I would like to ask the scholar of Shi University, and I would like to ask your Majesty for your permission." ”
"I'm right." His Majesty replied without hesitation, and the next thing is to see Wang Yaolin's trial.
Junko's sister quieted down and stared at Ishina fiercely.
"Junko, and Junko's sister, in addition to the oral statement, do you two have any other physical or human evidence to prove what you two said." Wang Yaolin looked at the brother and sister seriously.
Junko was the first to shout: "Yes, the villain has." When Shi Ke found the villain, the villain naturally didn't agree to him at first, but when he came for the second time, he brought a token of the villain's long-lost sister, and let the next person meet with his sister and said a lot of words, which made the villain confirm that she was the villain's long-lost sister. Lord Wang is very good to the villain, if the villain hadn't been threatened by them because of his sister, he would not have framed His Royal Highness King Yu at all, so that Lord Wang would have suffered injustice.
Now that the villain's sister has been saved, the villain naturally can't help the abuse, and help Shi Ke continue to deceive everyone. When Shi Ke found the villain at that time, he personally gave the villain ten answers to the test questions, and the more than ten people who came to buy the answers were also found by Shi Ke, so that the villain only needed to sell the answers to them. The villain deliberately kept an eye on it, and left one of the answers given by Shi Ke and replaced it with an answer that someone could transcribe. ”
This is unexpected, prepare ten answers, and be kept by Shunzi, I'm afraid that Shunzi is really as he said, and he doesn't want to frame Wang Qian, but his sister is being coerced. Han Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this stone family is really hateful. Of course, what is even more hateful is the stone fish next to him, and he can't escape it.
Shi Yu couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty, this is slander, these are slanders, Your Majesty, this is all unwarranted, Shi Ke can't do such a thing at all, Your Majesty must not listen to his nonsense." 'At this point, he has to do something to resolve the impasse.
Wang Yaolin retorted: "Lord Shi, it's still too early to say this, wait for Shunzi to take out that answer and verify the handwriting, and the truth will be revealed, please don't be impatient and wait patiently." There was a trace of red fruit ridicule in his eyes, he really knew the face and didn't know the heart, in vain he still admired the stone fish's personality, just right, and now he looks at it too disappointed, and the fear of the past is pretending.
Stone Fish: "······"
Junko kept the answer in a secret place, in the shoes on the bottom floor of the cabinet in his room. Soon Wang Yaolin sent someone to the palace to investigate and see if what Shunzi said was true or false, such an important thing, Shunzi naturally had to be placed in a safe place, he couldn't carry it with him, it was too bad for him.
It didn't take long for the guards who went out to investigate in Dali Temple to come back, and sure enough, they got the answer, and Wang Yaolin presented it to Gonggong Yang and asked him to hand it to His Majesty.
His Majesty read it at a glance and ten lines, and he didn't know the other handwriting, but he knew the handwriting of the stone fish, and this one was not the handwriting of the stone fish.
At the same time, Wang Yaolin also sent guards to Shifu and found Shi Ke's usual handwriting, of course, these were not taken out for the time being, he asked people to present pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let Shi Ke write with a pen.
Shi Ke shrank back and said, "Lord Wang, the villain can't write." ”
"I can't write, so dare I ask where these come from? You shouldn't be able to speak like this in Shifu on weekdays, and you can't write. Shi Ke, in front of His Majesty, you still dare to lie. Wang Yaolin leaned over and took out Shi Ke's usual handwriting from his sleeve and asked him to see it clearly. This was just to test him, and he was really tired, lying that he couldn't write, thinking that this would spare him.
Turning around, Wang Yaolin handed the note he was holding in his hand to Gonggong Yang and presented it to His Majesty. His Majesty carefully checked the handwriting of the answer with Shi Ke's usual handwriting, and found that it was exactly the same, which was sure to be Shi Ke's handwriting, and he dared to hand it over, shook his hand and handed these to Yang Gonggong, and motioned for him to send a princess and King Lu to see.
Shi Ke's face was pale, his body was like a shaking sieve, he couldn't say a word, he could only look at Wang Yaolin with his eyes, and then at Shi Yu, as if to say, my lord, you save people, save people, save people, villains don't want to die.
With a bang, His Majesty picked up the teacup on the bookcase and threw it on the ground, and said sharply: "Shi Ke, it's all this time, and if you still refuse to tell the truth, then I can't complain that I will torture you." Wang Yaolin, dragged Shi Ke out and scolded him with a heavy rod twenty times, and I didn't believe it, how hard his bones were. If you refuse to admit it, you will naturally be punished.
After receiving His Majesty's order, Wang Yaolin quickly looked at the two guards who rushed in at the door, motioned for them to grab Shi Ke, take him down, and scolded him fiercely, asking the truth.
As soon as the two guards touched Shi Ke, Shi Ke couldn't help shouting: "My lord, you save the villain, the villain was forced by you, my lord, you said that this matter is foolproof, there will be absolutely no mistake, adult, adult, you have to save the villain, save the villain, the villain is old, the villain is young, the villain doesn't want to die, adult, adult, I said, I said, these are all made by adults." His voice became hoarse, and whoever made the stone fish stand motionless did not help him speak at all.
At that time, Shiyu repeatedly promised that no one else would find out, this matter was foolproof, there was no risk, and he agreed, but no one thought that there would be today's situation, he did not give in in front of His Majesty, he gave in under the twenty rods.
Shi Yu glared at Shi Ke with anger on his face: "It's in vain that I'm so good to you on weekdays, you actually colluded with outsiders to frame me, Your Majesty, the minister ······ weekdays."
"Stop, I don't want to hear this, Shi Aiqing, whether you did it or not, you know better than anyone else." His Majesty glanced at the stone fish, and at this time, he still denied it.
"Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, not because the minister instructed him, but because of his wolf ambition, he must have sneaked into the minister's study and peeked at the answers to the questions in the exam, Your Majesty, the minister was wronged." Shi Yu is now eager to remove the suspicion from him, so that His Majesty and everyone will not be suspicious.
Wang Yaolin took the opportunity to say: "Shi Ke, what Lord Shi said is true? ”
Shi Ke squeezed out a sneer: "My lord, at this time, you are still only caring about yourself, how can my little guy enter your study, besides, my lord, how much money have you collected over the years, you want the villain to say it one by one!" ”
"Shut up, shut up, you shut up for me!" Shi Yu glared at Shi Ke angrily, eager to strangle him, talking nonsense.
His Majesty glanced over, and Wang Yaolin quickly ordered someone to block Shiyu's mouth with a cotton cloth, making him speechless.
Next, according to what Shi Ke said, he sent someone to investigate Shiyu's study, Shiyu and Mrs. Shi are not from noble backgrounds, it stands to reason that their house should be very poor, but they didn't expect it, people were shocked, and found a secret room behind the secret compartment of Shiyu's study, which contained more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
His Majesty was furious at this, and ordered on the spot to remove the official position of Shiyu University Scholar, put him in prison, and ordered Wang Yaolin, the secretary of Dali Temple, to review it. In addition, Shi Ke is also an important witness, and he was put into the prison together to continue the trial.
The dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry made Shi Yu finally lower his head, he instantly aged more than ten years, his face was not dead, he had nothing to say. Before leaving, he glanced at King Zhan who was kneeling on the ground again, but he was calm, but it was a pity, a pity.
Wang Qian was brought out, he never expected it to be a stone fish, not King Yu in Shunzi's mouth. If it weren't for King Yu, Wang Qian would not have come out alone to confess and admit that he was the mastermind of this year's imperial examination fraud case. Now everything is revealed, it is Shiyu, but Wang Qian doesn't understand why Shiyu wants to frame him and King Yu, what is the benefit to him, they don't have any direct conflict of interest.
"Wang Qian, do you have something to say?" His Majesty lowered his voice.
Hearing this, Wang Qian hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, it is a criminal who is confused, and he has been deceived for a while, please punish Your Majesty." "Scolding Shunzi in the bottom of his heart, this damn minion, clearly swore to him that King Yu was forcing him to sell the answers to the imperial examination questions behind his back, that was to buy people's hearts, in order to be able to attract more talents in this imperial examination.
Thinking of Yang Shoufu's kindness to him, Wang Qian thought that the matter had already broken out, and someone had to come out to apologize, and that was him, not anyone else. His Royal Highness King Yu is the hope of Yang Shoufu and Yang Defei and the entire Yang family, and he must not have an accident.
"Hmph, Wang Qian, I trust you so much on weekdays, and you treat me like this? It's not what you did, why do you want to stop the responsibility, just for the sake of King Yu, I underestimated you, and you are so righteous. His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't wait to pick up the fold at hand and smash it towards Wang Qian, his important courtier was not the mastermind of the imperial examination fraud case, which made him really relieved.
It's just that Your Majesty can't easily make Wang Qian comfortable, and King Yu's business is not over yet! He gave up his life for King Yu, for his majesty, I'm afraid he can't!
Immediately after His Majesty's order, the crown princess and others were allowed to leave, leaving Wang Yaolin and Wang Qian alone in the imperial study.
As soon as he came out of the imperial study, Han Jinxiu squeezed An Mei's palm beside him, and said hurriedly: "Send the palace back to His Royal Highness's bedroom." ”
An Mei realized Han Jinxiu's emotions and subconsciously responded: "Yes." ”
King Lu stretched out his hand to support King Zhan, knelt on the ground for fear that his legs were sore, and he was limping when he walked, he couldn't look at it, but before he touched King Zhan, he brushed his hand away, and listened to him say lightly: "Thank you for the kindness of the third emperor brother, the younger brother will leave first." ”
Looking at the back of King Zhan leaving, King Lu shook his head helplessly, tonight's events are indeed unpredictable, the iron-faced and selfless Shiyu Shi University Scholar on weekdays turned out to be a person who is good at disguise, and it is also thanks to Wang Yaolin, the secretary of Dali Temple, who is aware of everything, in order to discover the true face of Shiyu, so as not to let the world's scholars be deceived by their eyes.
King Zhan's mood tonight is unusually irritable, I can't wait to go back to the palace to find a place to vent, close my eyes King Zhan's eyes appear His Majesty's coldness and resentment towards him, back to the palace has to face the eagerly awaited Wang Life, his mother, how to explain?
Damn Han Jinxiu, fell for her again, King Zhan's head was full of smoke, how did she know that she was going to do something at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Lin Cifu today, could it be that there was a traitor beside him? And why did Shi Yuanyuan appear in his bed and be found sleeping together by everyone? If Shi Yu is still a bachelor admired by everyone, he naturally begs his mother to propose marriage, but now that Shi Yu is already a prisoner, his daughter Shi Yuanyuan is afraid that she is not qualified to enter the Zhan Wangfu, let alone the main concubine, even the side concubine is not qualified.
At this moment, Han Jinxiu, accompanied by An Mei and others, rushed to the prince's bedroom.
Ah Yan quickly stopped: "I have seen the crown princess, His Royal Highness has ordered, no one is allowed to enter and disturb him······" rested, before he finished speaking, he was scolded by Han Jinxiu.
"Get out of the way, this palace wants to see Your Highness!" Han Jinxiu said sharply.
Ah Jiu was busy pulling Ah Yan and asked Han Jinxiu to come in.
Yan: "······" glared at Ah Jiu fiercely, what was he doing? Not afraid of His Royal Highness's punishment, he let the princess in like this.
An Mei, An Xin and Ah Ling were waiting outside the hall, Ah Yan was angry in his stomach, how many times did Ah Jiu tell him, he didn't remember it at all.
Hearing the sound of the door slamming open, the prince, who was originally lying on his feet, opened his eyes in the darkness and slowly sat up straight. Looking at the bright light in front of the table, Han Jinxiu is here, what is she doing at such a late hour? The prince couldn't help frowning, raised his feet and walked towards her, before he could speak, Han Jinxiu ran towards him, opened his jade arms and hugged his waist tightly, almost out of breath, he couldn't let go.
Then the prince gradually found out that something was wrong with Han Jinxiu, her face was slightly red, her whole body was hot, and she also reached out to pull the prince's clothes, this is too wrong, even if it is dull, the prince also understands, Han Jinxiu was drugged?
