Outside the prison, after saying goodbye to Cui Ning and his son Cui Zhen, at the urging of Su Xi Shele, they boarded the carriage bound for Liaoxi.

Cui Zhen looked at the carriage and walked away, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Mr. Cui, don't forget the wine banquet in the Bohai Palace."

Su Xi Shele dropped this sentence and turned back to Zhongshu Province to resume his life.

He mentioned this because he was worried that Cui Zhen would be angry because his father was imprisoned in Liaoxi, and he was unwilling to attend this banquet.

Gao Cheng personally ordered the first place in the classic department, but he didn't want to go to the banquet, what would be the ending of Cui Zhen, Su Xi Shele didn't care, he only knew that such a blatant slap in the face would make Xiao Gao Wang angry.

Cui Zhen thanked him, but Su Xi Shele was too worried, after hearing about Zheng Boyou's death, Cui Ning was able to save his life, what else is there to say.

Back in Cui's mansion, the family had already received the news that Cui Zhen had won the championship in the classic department, and heard that Gao Cheng had arranged someone to take him to Shangshu Province, and they were all waiting for Cui Zhen to bring Cui Ning back.

Now that he is alone, everyone is disappointed.

Cui Niang was puzzled:

"Could it be that the general broke his promise and didn't want to get his brother out of prison?"

Cui Zhen shook his head at his sister-in-law.

Feng Shi, who was confined at home, was anxious, she and Cui Ning were grasshoppers on a rope, if Cui Ning could not be exempted, Feng Shi could not be left alone, she couldn't help but ask:

"Speak, what's the matter?"

"The general has sent someone to send my father to Yingzhou for resettlement, so you don't have to worry."

Cui Zhen sighed secretly and comforted.

"Why do you want to go to such a cold and bitter place as Yingzhou, why doesn't Brother come back to meet us? You are a good official in Luoyang, let's go to Yingzhou to take care of my brother first. ”

Not long after Cui Niang was born, her father Cui Xiu died of illness and was raised by her eldest brother Cui Ning, and it is not too much to call her eldest brother his father.

Now I don't know what happened to Cui Ning, so I thought about visiting Yingzhou.

How do you know that Cui Zhen rarely said solemnly:

"Don't do this, the general has an order that the family is not allowed to visit my father, but my aunt is relieved, I sent my father to the carriage, he is all right, and I will find a way to ask the general to forgive my father's sin of gaffe in the future."

Feng finally put his mind at ease after hearing this, Cui Ning just annoyed Gao Cheng because of his gaffes, so it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Cui Ning was released far away in Liaoxi, which made it more convenient for the Feng family to indulge in lewd pleasures.

didn't wait for her to be happy for too long, and another team of black-armored guards came to the door and read out Feng's fate to everyone in the Cui family:

Sent to Yaoguang Temple as a slave, not allowed to leave the temple for life.

"Don't! I don't want to go to Yaoguang Temple! I don't want ......"

No matter how Feng shouted, he was still dragged away by the black-armored guards.

Cui Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, he had already heard about Feng's promiscuity, and now that Cui Ning was expelled, if he really left a Feng family alone to keep the empty boudoir, Cui Zhen would really have a headache for this.

Gao Cheng imprisoned Feng in Yaoguang Temple as a slave, obviously solving a problem for Cui Zhen.

Speaking of Zheng Boyou, after the Cui family's father and son and Su Xi Shele left, Song Youdao immediately interrogated him.

Maybe it was because of the effect of Su Xi Shele's words, but before Song Youdao was tortured, under the condition that the evidence was conclusive, Zheng Boyou confessed.

Song Youdao looked at Zheng Boyou's accumulated crimes, if he was tried according to the "Taichang Law", there would be dozens of capital crimes, which made him resentful and jealous.

Even if Zheng Boyou confessed in full, Song Youdao still insisted that he still had hidden facts of the case and did not confess, and ordered the jailers to punish him all over the time.

Zheng Boyou is bitter in his heart, his sins are enough to die dozens of times, what else is there to hide.

The wailing and begging for mercy went from high to the ground, and finally he was angry, but the eyes of the dying Zheng Boyou were full of resentment.

Song Youdao, who was stared at by this gaze, did not shy away from it, he smiled:

"Zheng Gong now understands that the person whose family was ruined by you is resentful before he dies!"

"But... It's a pariah... That's it, what if... The preciousness of a scholar. ”

Zheng Boyou said with difficulty, this is also the truest thought in his heart.

He didn't understand, it was just that he killed some despicable people, and he was really guilty, why could Cui Ning, who had a heart-wrenching word, escape the catastrophe, but he had to die.

Song Youdao didn't bother to explain to him, and ordered someone to wait outside Yaoguang Temple to bring Princess Xuanyang.

The evidence is ironclad, Princess Xuanyang still wants to deny it, Song Youdao simply took him to see what Zheng Boyou looks like.

Seeing that all the nails of Zheng Boyou's ten fingers were pulled out, he was whipped all over his body.

Princess Xuanyang didn't dare to be stubborn anymore and confessed everything.

Song Youdao asked the doctor to treat Zheng Boyou's injuries and then locked him back in prison, while Princess Xuanyang was still sent to Yaoguang Temple to be guarded by a healthy woman, and she quickly went to Zhongshu Province to recover her life.

After reading the confessions of the two people, Gao Cheng transcribed the name of one of the officials involved in the case, which is undoubtedly another nest case.

Gao Cheng handed the list to Xue Hu'er, who was with him, and said:

"Order someone to transfer it to Ke Zhu Hunyuan, and all the people on the list will be escorted to Luoyang, and no one will be missed."

Xue Hu'er took the list, took the order and retreated, and went out to find someone to report the news.

Gao Cheng praised Song Youdao a few words, then asked him to step back, and then buried his head in political affairs.

Gao Huan, who was far away in Jinyang, finally learned of the specific behavior of Zheng Boyou and his wife, which made him furious, and immediately sent a messenger to Luoyang to bring a message to Gao Cheng, and Zheng Boyou must be sentenced to death.

People always influence each other unconsciously, Gao Cheng acts more and more worthy of the name of King Xiaogao, and Gao Huan is also inspired by his son, because of his humble background, he attaches more importance to the people at the bottom.

As Zheng Boyou and his wife confessed one after another, especially Zheng Boyou, who had obviously confessed, Song Youdao's behavior of having to torture him was spreading, and this cool official became more and more terrifying.

But the highlight of the day was still Gao Cheng's banquet in the Bohai Palace.

The new scholars do not need to enter the palace to thank them, but they have to drink with the general in the palace, which is very clear.

After several expansions, the Bohai Royal Mansion is more of a royal palace than a royal palace.

Wang Xi fell behind Cui Gen and walked through the corridor with the others under the guidance of the slaves.

In this magnificent palace with carved railings and jade buildings, Wang Xi was cautious and lowered his head.

"Slave to meet the prince of Changshan County."

The voice of the servant leading the way made Wang Xi raise his head.

In front of him stood a child of four or five years old, born with a pink carving, and the brake was cute.

But no one dared to pinch the child's face, and the slave's words were clearly heard.

Changshan Jungong, these four or five-year-old children are Gao Huan's sister-in-law, Gao Cheng's sixth brother, Gao Yan.

"You are the five science jinshi hired by the eldest brother?"

Gao Yan ignored the saluting house slaves, and without waiting for Cui Zhen and the others to answer, he praised himself:

"Sure enough, they are all talents."

After that, Gao Yan didn't stop, and left with his hands behind his back.

Corrected the previous two mistakes, Cui Niang is Cui Gan's aunt, I mistakenly remembered Cui Geng's sister in the first few chapters, and the other one is that Yingzhou belongs to Liaoxi, and I wrote it as Liaodong.
