After another half an hour, several gentlemen finally finished their evaluations, and the results were already available, but they didn't know which article was written by whom.

The results were presented, and the emperor read them first and was very satisfied.

Very well, it proves that these gentlemen are not blind and do not act with a clear conscience.

"Now that the results are in, do you want to know?"

Jiang Chengye lowered his head, and now he regretted it a little, it seemed that he was too impulsive to do this, and he had a bad premonition.

The person above said, "Hu Shangxuan's two articles were unanimously praised, according to the comments, you can know that the original article was written by himself, Jiang Chengye, can you accept this result?" ”

How could Jiang Chengye be willing to accept it, but how could he not accept it.

This method of inspection was also proposed by himself, and he called so many academy gentlemen to judge, can't it be said that these people are all biased towards Hu Shangxuan?

The inspection method was put forward temporarily, and Lord Qincha also temporarily called these people to help, Hu Shangxuan has always been here, how can he secretly move around? Saying this will only slap you in the face.

So even if he didn't want to admit it, he could only nod at this time, "Yes, it's probably a misunderstanding, it seems that Hu Juren is indeed a real talent and a fame, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

Hu Shangxuan said, "What a misunderstanding, your misunderstanding can be written off?" I live my life well, I didn't recruit you and didn't mess with you, why did I let you toss so much? If something goes wrong today, I'm going to be wronged. ”

Jiang Chengye also has his own rhetoric, "I'm just suspicious, don't I need to check? Since you are really talented and learned, how can you be afraid of checking, After checking, everyone can rest assured. ”

Hu Shangxuan smiled, "What about the rumors in the town?" ”

Jiang Chengye's eyes widened suddenly, and he panicked, "You, what do you mean?"

"I mean it obviously." He looked at the people above, "Lord Chincha, it's been several years since the student was raised, and he hasn't heard any harsh words, so why did he come out at this time?" However, the student suspects that this is deliberate, and asks the Lord to investigate carefully, and if someone does it deliberately, please return the student to justice. ”

Jiang Chengye immediately said, "You are talking nonsense, who would be like this, this matter is just a misunderstanding, why are you holding on to it, you ......"

"What? I'm just saying, what are you afraid of? Isn't it because you spread those rumors? ”

Jiang Chengye didn't know how to explain, shook his head, and couldn't open his mouth again.

The Emperor said, "Bring someone up and ask."

At this time, Jiang Chengye knew that those who were spreading rumors outside had been brought, but he told them in person, and as long as he identified them, everything would be clear.

Those people were brought up, and the emperor spoke slowly, "Tell me, where did that rhetoric come from, and how did you know that Hu Shangxuan had cheated on the scientific expedition?" ”

Those few people looked at each other, how could they have the courage to hide it, it was originally for so many dozens of copper plates, and it would not be good if they lied and were locked up.

So he quickly told the truth, "Adult, the small one is wrong, it was the person who spent money to let the little one say it outside, said that he would say when he saw someone, Give fifty copper plates, the small family has old and young, I just want to earn some money to subsidize the family, I didn't think so much for a while, and the small one will never dare to do it again." ”

"The little ones too, the little ones will never dare again."

A few people were recruited immediately, and they didn't even need to be interrogated, the main reason was that Jiang Chengye was thinking too simply, this plan was simply full of loopholes, how could these people be strict?

Only then did the emperor sink his face, "Jiang Chengye, can you explain to this official what is going on?" ”

Jiang Chengye immediately knelt down, lowered his head and said, "My lord, it's not like this, it's not like this at all, yes, it's these people who are talking nonsense, they must have taken the benefits of Hu Shangxuan, that's why they helped him speak, wronged the grass people, it's not like that." ”

didn't need Hu Shangxuan to explain, the emperor asked directly, "Then tell me, how Hu Shangxuan bribed these people, it was your own idea to sue him for cheating, did you disclose it in advance?" After you complained, the official put you two into custody, how did he buy off these people? Besides, how did he know that the official would arrest these few? ”

Jiang Chengye couldn't answer any of these questions, he was so anxious that he was sweating, seeing that he was going to punish the crime, the Li family couldn't care about anything, and rushed out and shouted, "Lord Qingtian, it's all the fault of the people's women, the people's women can't get used to the Hu family's good life, and they are jealous in their hearts, so these incidents were born, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with him." ”

The emperor did not know who the person in front of him was, so he asked, "Who are you?" Although this is not a court, this official is trying the case, how can you be so nonsense? ”

Li said, "Lord Hui, the woman is Jiang Chengye's mother, this matter has nothing to do with him, it was the woman who was jealous of the Hu family, so she came up with this idea, these people were also found by the woman, they saw Chengye, and just now they said that it was him, but he was wronged." ”

It can be said that none of the people present will believe it, and the emperor will not believe it, and they will all laugh at this moment.

"Jiang Chengye, what she said is true?"

Jiang Chengye clenched his fists, he naturally didn't want to put the fault on the Li family in front of so many people, but if he didn't do this, would he go to prison again? He's just come out.

"Yes, she did it, it has nothing to do with the grass people, probably because I heard that the grass people wanted to sue Hu Shangxuan, and the mother hoped that her son could win, so she made this decision, and the grass people didn't know about it at all."

The emperor was silent for a while, "Okay, very good, not only do you have no talent, you don't have a conscience, but you don't know what the word filial piety is. ”

Jiang Chengye didn't say a word, and the emperor said, "Even so, the official will punish your mother's sin, and the official will treat this matter as if what you said is true, but what is the truth, you know it in your hearts, and God can see it clearly, so you are not afraid of retribution?" ”

Jiang Chengye still didn't say a word, obviously he didn't intend to admit his mistakes, the emperor thought to himself, the judgment is still good, if such a person becomes an official and becomes the parent official of the people, the people are afraid that they will live in dire straits.

The Li family is just bitter, and he doesn't defend a word, where is there anything to justify, my family is deadly, if I quibble at this time, it is estimated that the sentence will be heavier.

The emperor asked Zhixian how to sentence him, and Zhang Zhixian said according to the rules, like this, a sentence of three months of hard labor is enough, and it is not a felony.

The Li family was taken away like this, and Jiang Chengye was innocent, but no matter what, he put a shackle in his heart.
