Chapter 181: The Dust Has Settled
Shen Qingyu squatted at the door of Shen Zhong's office for several days, and finally blocked people.
It's only been a few days since I saw him, Shen Zhongwen's whole person has lost weight, and Shen Qingyu only thinks that the imperial examination case is seriously involved, and even he has nothing to do with it.
Shouldn't she bother again?
Just as she hesitated, Shen Zhongwen had noticed her and beckoned her to come over with a smile.
When she approached, Shen Zhongwen asked softly, "What?" Looking for me? ”
Shen Qingyu nodded and shook his head.
Shen Zhongwen said with a smile: "Yes?" Or not? ”
"Originally, there were, but I was tired from looking at my father, so I didn't have it." Shen Qingyu whispered.
Shen Zhongwen was very pleased, only felt that his daughter was really good at everything, she was simply the most sensible girl in the world, "I was very tired, but after listening to your two words, I was not tired at all." Whatever you have to say, I'm willing to listen. ”
Knowing that it was to make people happy, Shen Qingyu smiled and followed Shen Zhongwen into the study.
After sitting down, someone served tea and pastries, but Shen Zhongwen never held back, and Shen Qingyu didn't know if he could ask directly, after all, I heard that there were not one or two people who died this time.
What if she says something wrong? Will you go to jail, right?
She shook her head and threw this thought out, and it shouldn't be at home for her.
But the wall has ears, and she feels that it is not a big mistake to be careful, so she walked to Shen Zhongwen's side, motioned for the other party to come over, and asked in an extremely low voice, "Is the imperial examination case over?" ”
Seeing that she looked like a thief, Shen Zhongwen felt very funny, and he stretched out his index finger and pushed her head away a little, "It's over." ”
"But ......" Shen Qingyu's voice was low and small, full of gas.
Shen Zhongwen smiled: "You can talk well, don't worry." Take a step back and say, even if you say the wrong thing, do I still have to go to the whistleblower and expose you? ”
"Oh." Shen Qingyu touched his nose, "How did the saint find out that something was wrong in this case?" ”
The imperial examinations have all been completed, the omission of cheating has become a foregone conclusion, and the people who complained on the street can all die quietly in prison without alarming the saints, so how did this case be discovered in such a short time, and how did it come to an end so quickly?
Shen Zhongwen touched his daughter's head and said briefly: "Naturally, someone said something strange. The imperial examination is such a big deal, there is the slightest possibility of fraud can not be let go, the Holy Lord, Shengming, immediately ordered a strict investigation, and sure enough, the conspiracy hidden in it was discovered. ”
He didn't go into much detail, after all, he was involved in a lot of things.
This matter is said to be hidden, but it is full of loopholes, and it is not hidden, but before Shen Qingyu mentioned it to him, he didn't even hear the slightest rumor.
Of course, this is due to the fact that he is a close minister of the emperor and everyone involved in the imperial examination case avoids him, but it proves to him that his ears and eyes are very weak everywhere in Shengjing, and he has not even heard the slightest rumor.
Although there were speculations, Shen Qingyu still asked, "Who is behind the scenes?" ”
"Order."
Hearing this answer, Shen Qingyu was a little surprised, according to Pei Shu, it should have been done by the third son of the Cheng Rank, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"But isn't he very good? How to do things like this......" Shen Qingyu thought about the wording, "There are many mistakes and omissions like this. ”
Shen Zhongwen didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, "He is old, and in recent years, he has been sick again, so it's not surprising that he is confused." ”
That's not true. Shen Qingyu knew that Shen Zhongwen must be hiding something, and she didn't want her to know.
So what could it be?
According to Pei Shu, the most motivated person to do all this is the third son of Cheng Rank, but Shen Zhongwen said that the main envoy behind this is Cheng Rank. Which statement is true?
Shen Qingyu asked again: "Then how does the saint deal with the ranks?" ”
Shen Zhongwen didn't answer directly, but said, "Your curiosity is too heavy!" If he commits such a great crime, he will naturally not be spared. ”
Shen Qingyu still had a stomach full of questions, but the more tired Shen Zhongwen's face grew, she couldn't bear to bother, so she had to leave.
Even when Shen Qingyu left, Shen Zhongwen asked Xun Le beside him: "Have you cleaned up the beginning and the end?" ”
Xun Le said: "My lord, rest assured, whether it is Liu Shunhua's family or the subordinates of the people that Miss asked, they have all been checked one by one." As for Qiao Mu'an, he is now following the adult, even if someone thinks it is wrong, they will think that he is doing something for the adult, and he will never think of the young lady. ”
"That's good," Shen Zhongwen was still a little uneasy, "I've been a little vigilant lately, I'm too aggressive this time, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble." ”
"My subordinates know, my lord can rest assured."
After a few days, Shen Qingyu inquired about the ending of the stage, and the saint remembered his hard work and merits, and gave poisoned wine to all his corpses.
Married and exiled to a bitter cold land.
Compared with other families who were implicated and almost all lost their heads, the fate of the family is good, and it is clear that the family is the main culprit.
People discuss in private that it is the saint who cares about the old feelings and takes a light start to the family.
Shen Qingyu had other conjectures, if the real prisoner was the third son of Cheng Jie, then the emperor clearly knew the answer but still designated Cheng Zhi as the main culprit.
A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen. The hierarchical forces are weaker and weaker, but only in this way can it be possible to eradicate all the hierarchical parties that still occupy a place in the court despite their actual strength.
If he is convicted of the third son of Cheng Jie, then with the status of Cheng Jie, it is very likely that he will escape on the charge of being a poor godson.
Therefore, it is more likely that the third son of the Cheng Rank is the person behind the scenes, and it is more logical.
This imperial examination case is just the emperor's reason for uprooting the entire Chengjia henchmen, and it is precisely because the emperor wants to get rid of the Chengjia that someone hands the knife to the emperor.
Although Shen Qingyu still has many questions, for example, cheating with the answer, even if the cheating is successful and enters the palace test, can he still go to the emperor with the answer?
Unless these people even buy the graders, only in this way can these cheaters be shortlisted without having to face the saint.
But if even the examiners are bought, what answers do they bring, wouldn't it be good to directly let these cheaters advance.
Shen Qingyu could only guess that only a part of the markers had been bought, because the examination papers of the imperial examination needed to be cross-scored, so the cheaters had to fill in the correct answers.
Affected by the imperial examination case, the atmosphere in Shengjing City was also gloomy, and there were no people even talking loudly, and there was no more excitement in the past.
The officials who were implicated died and the exiles were exiled, and the government and the opposition were in turmoil.
In such a bloody storm, the imperial examination of this subject finally came to an end.
