Chapter 291: The Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell (18)

"What are you guilty of?" Ye Hongchu's eyes still did not take his eyes off the fold.

Ye Mujing paused word by word, "The ministers did not report what they knew, connived at the traitorous ministers to bend the law, and committed the crime of bullying the king." ”

"Bully?" Ye Hongchu raised his sword eyebrows, finally closed the fold, and looked at Ye Mujing proudly.

Ye Mujing's ears were hot, and he looked like he was waiting for his hair to fall.

"You sit down and speak slowly." Ye Hongchu was very dissatisfied with his attitude, but he couldn't bear to scold.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered Ye Mujing to sit on the sandalwood chair in front of him.

Ye Mujing hesitated for a moment and sat down, twisted the placket, and told the story that had been woven long ago-

After he left the palace, he lived in the Hou Mansion.

Hearing this, the emperor let out a dull agitation sound in his throat, but he didn't say anything.

Although he hated Ye Mujing's choice, he knew that Ling Shang's personality - the two widows of the concubine would not hurt Ye Mujing.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking.

Ye Mujing noticed the emperor's mood swings, stared at him for a moment, and continued to explain-

He was in the Hou Mansion for many days, and often accompanied the Hou Ye to meet some visitors.

Needless to say, these visitors are all important figures in the DPRK.

The news that Guozijian leaked the questions of the imperial examination was heard from the mouth of Dong Changyou.

Dong Changyou, for personal gain, used his power to steal the imperial examination questions and leaked them to the public.

The details of the secret conversation between the two were clearly heard by Ye Mujing on the side.

At the beginning, Ye Mujing thought about exposing Dong Hanlin's crimes to the Criminal Department.

But he thought of the relationship between the two for many years, and every time he made up his mind, he hesitated.

Dong Changyou was worried that his crime would eventually be exposed and cause disaster, so he came to the Hou Mansion twice in three days to ask for Hou Ye's assistance.

At the mention of Ling Shang, Ye Mujing couldn't help but clench his fists.

He looked firmly into the deep eyes of Ye Hongchu—

Hou Ye was deeply disgusted by Dong Hanlin's behavior, so he never reached out to help.

Although he also has some friendship with Dong Hanlin, he hates the law very much, so he plans to denounce Dong Hanlin.

When Dong Changyou heard about this, he pleaded with his long-time student Ye Mujing many times, asking him to persuade Ling Shang to keep it a secret for him.

Ling Shang finally agreed to put the matter aside, but he no longer had dealings with Dong Hanlin.

Who knows, Dong Changyou can trust Ling Shang, but he can't trust Mu Jing overnight.

- This is actually very easy to understand, Hou Ye is famous, but Ye Mujing is a wreck who can easily give up the crown prince for the sake of a "love" word......

In short, Dong Hanlin has a ghost in his heart, racking his brains to cover up his crime of leaking the topic, and on the other hand, he is deliberately trying to get rid of Ye Mujing, an insider who may threaten him.

The opportunity finally came, and that was the time when Ye Mujing left the Hou Mansion to visit Ye Mushen in Xiaoaotang.

Dong Changyou chose this day in order to avoid Ling Shang's eyes and ears.

happened to be early one morning, Zhou Yinchen came to his house as a guest.

Dong Changyou, as Zhou Hao's old friend, casually mentioned that he knew that Zhou Yinchen alone could not cope with the chores of the Zhou family, and wanted to visit the Zhou Mansion to see if he could help.

Then, he quietly proposed that it would be great if he could get together with Zhou Hao's descendants, drink tea and catch up on the old days, and remember the Taifu and the queen.

Zhou Yinchen accepted Dong Hanlin's proposal without much thought.

- After all, he also called Dong Hanlin "Master" with Ye Mujing, so he was naturally defenseless against him.

As a result, the meeting between the only two descendants of the Zhou family and Dong Hanlin was set lightly.
