Chapter 1674: That's it
Does Xiao Chen really want to dig hard?
Of course not, he's not that tiger yet!
He's just going to do it openly.
A friend asked, saying that this is okay?
Of course, as long as the way is used correctly, there is nothing that can't be done, but not now, we have to wait......
"We can't wait any longer." In the Xuanping Palace, Li Qiu summoned Xiao Chen, Gong Shouli, Zhao Yu and Yuan Ren to come, and it was quite amazing as soon as they opened their mouths.
Of course, he was not talking about the treasure, but about the case of fraud in the imperial examination.
"What does the prince mean......" Xiao Chen actually probably knew what Li Qiu meant, but he must have asked for a moment.
"I mean that's the end of it, close the case early, worry about it early." Li Qiudao.
"But we haven't found out who is behind the scenes, and stopping now is tantamount to giving up halfway." Zhao Yu said, "If the emperor asks, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Your Majesty, the king will explain." Li Qiu said, "You just need to prepare all the case files." ”
"Well, it's okay if you don't check." Gong Shouli said, "If you check it again, I'm afraid that it will ......."
I'm afraid that I will find the head of one of the two princes.
In fact, judging from the current situation, Li Feng must be the mastermind behind the scenes, but there is no definite evidence yet.
But as the investigation of the case deepens, sooner or later it will be found on his head.
Xiao Chen, Zhao Yu, and Gong Shouli have joined forces, and no matter how secret the case is, they can find out.
Now Li Qiu suddenly stopped at a critical time, if it wasn't for the emperor's hint, it was Li Qiu who wanted his subordinates to show mercy.
Maybe he didn't want to do it just after he arrived.
After all, the words of the imperial gift of 'brothers work together, and their profits are golden' are hung in front of the hall.
"I'm afraid that there are too many people involved, which is not good for the stability of the imperial court." Zhao Yu was afraid that Gong Shouli would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly took over the conversation, "It's just that there must be fraud in Zhili Qiuyu, if this is not exposed, it will not be fair to other candidates." ”
"Fair? How can there be absolute fairness in the world? Li Qiu said, "When I went to investigate the disaster this time, I met a lot of talented people from poor families, they were not uneducated, and they didn't want to refer to it, but they couldn't even make up the travel expenses...... Hehe, it's all nonsense! ”
Everyone knows what Li Qiu means, whether it should be investigated or not, it will not be investigated, that is to say, as long as you find a few scapegoats to deal with it, you can directly close the case, and cover up this shocking case in a light-hearted way.
As for the so-called fairness, what Li Qiu said also makes sense, in this world, there is no real fairness at all, and there can be and will never be.
Sure enough, after Li Qiu told Li Wanjiang, Li Wanjiang immediately agreed to close the case, take down all the bosses and men of Qingyun Pavilion, and arrest all the little eunuchs in the imperial study who were suspected of passing the news.
The mastermind behind the fat boss of Qingyun Pavilion is Cheng Qi, the housekeeper in Cheng Youwen's mansion, and the characterization of the case is not a scientific research fraud, but a bold but clumsy scam.
Although Cheng Youwen was not involved in this case, Cheng Qi confessed a lot of things about him accepting huge bribes, and Li Wanjiang ordered an investigation and sent him directly to prison.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and all kinds of impeachment and participation in his folds also flew like snowflakes, Cheng Youwen was panicked and frightened, and hanged himself with a belt in prison, which can be regarded as suicide in fear of crime.
As for whether he really committed suicide in fear of sin, no one cared at all, anyway, as soon as he died, many things would not have to continue to investigate, and many people were secretly relieved......
As Xiao Chen expected, the emperor really handed over the fat difference of copying the house to Gong Shouli, and together with Jinyiwei, a group of people from Fengyang Mansion copied Cheng Youwen and the fat boss of Qingyun Pavilion.
Gong Shouli can't handle the case, there is really a way to copy the house, under his personal leadership, the land of Cheng Youwen's family has been turned over by him......
The fat difference must be the fat difference, and he Gong Shouli must also fish in troubled waters, and took away a lot of treasures, but he didn't go too far.
Because before he went to raid his house, Xiao Chen half-jokingly said something that benefited him a lot...... 'Don't be too proud of your old Gong, you are going to raid their house today, and I don't know who is going to raid your house the day after tomorrow!'" ’
After Xiao Chen and Zhao Yu asked the emperor for the money he advanced in this case, he returned all the money to him, but he donated it all after he changed hands, and he didn't keep a tael.
Xiao Chen was amazed by his actions, Lao Gong is really transgender? Not only has the gender changed, but the personality has also changed?
Are you willing to give up so much silver?
Gong Shouli said Of course I can't bear it, but the silver can be earned again, and if the home is gone, it can't be built again.
The emperor used such words to me at the beginning, if I didn't know how to be grateful, then I would really be a stupid pig!
The case was closed, and the emperor was also very happy, and issued an order to praise Xiao Chen, Zhao Yu, Gong Shouli, Yuan Ren and others, and other meritorious people also had their own rewards.
As for Li Qiu, the son in charge of this case, he did not hesitate to praise him, and praised Li Qiu fiercely in front of the ministers at the court meeting, but the reward was gone, because you are my son, no matter what you do for me, you should do as much as you can.
In this case, Lin Qi has made a lot of contributions, but he is willing not to give any reward, and only asks the emperor to offset his father's great sin with his small credit.
Li Wanjiang sighed when he learned about it, and made a decree to hire him as a Jiangdong juzi and make him eligible to participate in next year's examination.
Although he didn't mention the matter of mitigating Lin Dongyang's crime, since he promoted Lin Qi unusually, he probably wouldn't kill Lin Dongyang.
So far, Lin Dongyang's fate has been properly preserved.
Because of the protection of Li Feng, the king of Fengyang, and Li Yan, the king of Yandang, Li Wanjiang did not kill Wang Ruhai, and like Lin Dongyang, he was also set to be beheaded, and it is estimated that he will not be killed.
At this point, the turmoil of the two kings has come to an end for the time being, and the court has returned to its former calm, but the undercurrent is surging, but I don't know when it will suddenly break out again!
After Liu Qiheng was dismissed, he repeatedly asked the emperor to let him go home to retire, which is the so-called farewell to the old and return to his hometown, but the emperor always ignored him, which made him very depressed and panicked.
I don't know what the emperor means? Since your old man has removed me from his post, should you let me go, and if you refuse to let me go, do you still want to cure my crimes?
Thinking about it, he didn't seem to have committed any major crimes, they were all small things, and he didn't think it was worth mentioning.
But if the emperor loves you, even if you commit a heinous crime, you will be fine, just like Xiao Chen, just like Li Feng......
But if the emperor hates you, even if you just commit a trivial crime, you may also be beheaded in prison, just like Lin Dongyang and Wang Ruhai......
It's all a matter of the emperor's words.
