"If it weren't for the Peng family's lack of greed, even if Zhou Zhao and a few people came prepared, they wouldn't be able to find you, don't you say?"

The Third Prince: "......"

The little composure that he had pretended to be in his heart instantly dissipated, and he clenched his hands into fists and stabbed his nails into his palms, so that he could maintain the smile on his face.

He turned to look at the Seventh Prince: "When I enter the palace and see my father, I know by myself." ”

"Please, then." The Seventh Prince stood up straight and made a gesture of invitation to the side.

When the third prince came out of the courtyard, he glanced at Li Qiao: "Lord Li, it's okay, just act according to the holy order." ”

"Xia Guan understands."

Li Qiao was busy talking.

He also stayed in the Gongyuan today honestly and didn't know anything about the outside world, and he didn't know any Zhou Zhao, but looking at the attitude of the Seven Princes, this is really enough evidence to make the Third Princes finish, right?

Yes.

The Seven Princes really grabbed the evidence.

Peng Zhiye was stubborn at first and refused to admit it, saying that this was Dong Daizhuan's personal behavior, and he had no idea.

And also explained eloquently that Dong Daizhuan was mediocre, and after the end of the five princes, the literati raised by Lu Wenrong came to join him, and Dong Daizhuan was inconspicuous, and he didn't even know when this Dong Daizhuan left from under him.

He has raised so many literati, even if he really wants to cheat, he must be looking for a person with outstanding literary talents, how could he find Dong Daizhuan?

But these quibbles could not cope with the Seven Princes.

The Seventh Prince was directly on the torture instrument in Peng's house.

Although the Peng family is the mother family of the current queen, the Peng family itself has little power, although some people are officials in the court, but the official position is not high.

Moreover, the Seven Princes have long had the evidence of all kinds of illegal things in the Peng family, so although the Peng family shouted that they wanted to enter the palace to sue the emperor, the Seven Princes did not shake it off and interrogated Peng Zhiye personally.

Peng Zhiye could still tell himself with reason at the beginning, as long as the third prince is not finished, then the Peng family will be saved, and the big deal is death!

But when the soldering iron is on the body, the severe pain fills every pore, and there is nothing in the brain except pain, in that situation, how can a person like Peng Zhiye, who has fine skin and tender flesh and has never suffered hardship, carry it?

When the soldering iron fell on Peng Zhiye for the second time, he recruited everything.

Peng Zhiye's two uncles and brothers, after being branded with a soldering iron, were also recruited.

As far as this fraud case is concerned, the process is actually very simple.

After the three princes entered the ministry, they actively attracted officials from various yamen and places.

Zhehai Province is the richest province in Dasheng, and the three princes will certainly not miss this place.

But there were five princes before, and the five princes were also staring at Zhehai Province, and at that time, the two had scruples about each other and checked and balanced each other, so they could only fight and win over the officials of Songjiang Mansion separately.

The position of the crown prince was unknown, and the officials of Songjiang Prefecture did not dare to completely stand in line, and only maintained a good relationship with the two princes.

But last year, the five princes ended up because of rebellion.

The other princes were incapable of competing with the three princes, and now the officials of Songjiang Mansion were no longer stepping on the two boats, and they were completely on the side of the three princes.

If you stand in line, then you will pay the bottom.

Huang, Bao, and Li dared to try it.

The Peng family is as arrogant and arrogant as the Lu family, and after the five princes are finished, the Peng family has swelled even more, isn't it just going to try?

In the future, the entire Dasheng will be the third prince, and now it is not a problem to meddle in the small meeting.

The Three Princes also have this intention.

If you want to win over the officials of the DPRK and China, you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise, those who have won the jinshi will only be loyal to his father and the emperor and will not dump him.

For example, that Li Qiao.

So, if you want to cultivate your own power, you have to start with the meeting.

Songjiang Mansion was eyeing the test, and the third prince and the Peng family were also eyeing the test, and the two sides hit it off and decided to take advantage of this test to test the water and accumulate experience.

So the descendants of the Huang, Bao, and Li families entered Beijing to take the exam.

These three families and the Peng family agreed on a code, and the Peng family sent people to guard the gate of Shengjing City, once the Huang, Bao, and Li families entered Beijing, the Peng family would know about it as soon as possible.

The third prince originally just wanted to be a deputy examiner, and then relied on the method of leaking questions to cheat.

But who knew that Sheng Hong asked him to serve as the chief examiner of this year, and after donating money and materials to the Grand Canal construction site and disaster relief, his reputation has become increasingly heavy, so he is a little bolder.

He decided to arrange another way in addition to leaking the question: sending cheat sheets.

A two-pronged approach can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

However, the crown prince has not yet fallen to him, so he is very cautious, and the method of sending cheat sheets only arranges people to explore the way, and will not really put it into action.

What was put into action was to leak the problem in advance.

After he got the test paper questions, he gave them directly to the Peng family, and the Peng family was responsible for finding someone to write out the answers and sending the answers to Huang, Bao, and Li, only once, only a single line of contact this time, no matter if it didn't work, anyway, only a single line of contact once.

And then the person who wrote the answer, the person who sent the answer, all died.

All correspondence with Matsue Prefecture was also destroyed.

This time it's just a test of the waters, a small fight, only success, not failure.

The third prince felt that his arrangement was seamless, even if Huang, Bao, and Li were found out, then he would not be involved.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the Peng family is really involved, the Peng family will definitely not confess to him.

But I never expected that the Peng family carried the three princes behind their backs to Huang, Bao, and Li to boast about Haikou, as long as the three families offered enough silver, then these three people would definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination.

What I didn't expect was that Huang, Bao, and Li were so wasteful, they all got the answers, and they had to do cheat sheets.

So the Peng family started the road of sending cheat sheets without his knowledge.

Of course, that's not the point anymore.

The point is that the Peng family turned a single, single-line contact into a double-contact behind his back.

If there was no self-assertion of the Peng family, then Zhou Zhao would not be able to track down Concubine Mei's courtyard and would not draw the portrait of Dong Daizhuan, then the three idiots of Huang, Bao, and Li would be off the list.

In this way, even if Zhou Zhao publicly reported the inside story of Songjiang Mansion's science field, it would not implicate him.

Therefore, it is all to blame on the Peng family.

Peng family!

The third prince stood in front of Sheng Hong's imperial case, although he hated to cut the few Peng family members kneeling on the side with a thousand knives, but he could only show an innocent look on his face, and knelt down with a plop: "Father, the son is wronged!" The Peng family did all this, and the son didn't know about it at all! ”

"The situation is very good, how can my son cut off his future?"

The few tortured people of the Peng family knelt crookedly in front of Sheng Hong's imperial case, their heads scattered, their faces full of fear, pain, and chagrin.

Although the pain in his body was still terrible at this time, his reason had already suppressed the pain.

They shouldn't have offered the three princes!

"Saint, saint, it was the sinner who talked nonsense and said the wrong thing before, this matter is indeed not about the three princes, it is all the Peng family's doing."

The biggest official in the Peng family, Peng Zhiye's uncle, the uncle of the three princes, Peng Hezhong, the secretary of Dali Temple, opened his mouth.

When the third prince heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Father, did you hear that?" The son really didn't know that the Peng family was so bold that they would do such a thing behind their son's back! The son was wronged! ”

Sheng Hong sat behind the imperial case, looked at the three princes expressionlessly, and did not speak.

He has always been kind in front of several princes, at this time his fierce eyes sharpened, and he couldn't find the former kindness at all, and the three princes were stared at by him, and swallowed back the justification on his lips.

The seventh prince stood beside the third prince, and when he saw this, he lifted the hem of his clothes with both hands and slowly knelt down: "Father, my son has something important to do." ”

"Say." Sheng Hong's gaze turned to the Seventh Prince, and his tone was not gentle.

This means that he is in a terrible mood.

did not make a mistake, and even said that the Seven Princes, who had been making meritorious contributions, were implicated.

The Seventh Prince was not frightened by Sheng Hong's attitude, he met Sheng Hong's sharp gaze, straightened his back, and said in a deep voice: "Back then, the emperor's grandfather led a group of people to go hunting in Dongjing Mountain, and the eldest brother fell off the horse and broke his right leg, and outsiders thought it was an accident. ”

"Not really."

"At that time, the third brother and Peng Zhiye suddenly came out from behind the bushes and appeared behind the eldest brother's horse, and the two of them didn't know who shot an arrow at the butt of the eldest brother's horse, so the horse was frightened, and the eldest brother was turned upside down."

"The son's father witnessed that scene with his own eyes, but not long after his father entered the palace, not only was he not favored, but he also had no prince by his side, and the eldest brother had no queen mother, but the Peng family was the new queen, so the father chose to shut up."

"Daddy has kept his mouth shut for so many years, and now that the Peng family is about to end, my son feels that it is time to give justice to the eldest brother."

The Third Prince: "! ”

His pupils shrank, and he glared at the Seventh Prince in disbelief.

Several Peng family members who were in frustration and wanted to take out the three princes were suddenly startled, and looked at the seven princes in disbelief.

Peng Zhiye, Peng Hezhong, and their faces instantly lost blood.

Sheng Hong's eyes also narrowed, his hands suddenly grabbed the armrests of the chair, leaned forward, and said in a lost voice: "Do you know what you're talking about?!" ”

"My son knows, my son is willing to be responsible for every word just now, you can call Daddy to the temple and ask what is going on."

"There is also Wu Anhou, he was also there back then, and Daddy said that he should have seen it too, but he didn't tell the truth at that time."

"Now that the Peng family is about to end, he should dare to speak."

"Of course, there is also the eldest brother, the eldest brother knows what happened best."

The Seventh Prince met Sheng Hong's suspicious and shocked eyes, did not dodge or dodge, and found the witnesses one by one in an orderly manner.

Sheng Hong: "......"

He was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly looked at Qian San: "Quick, go to Xuanren, you go in person and bring Jian'er." ”

The name of the eldest prince is Sheng Zhijian.

At this time, the third prince's face also turned pale, he suddenly looked at Peng Zhiye, but Peng Zhiye didn't look at him, Peng Zhiye was looking at Peng Hezhong with a look of fear and confusion.

Peng Hezhong's face was extremely ugly, and his brain was running rapidly.

The arrow back then was shot by the third prince!

But when the third prince was young, he shot an arrow at the eldest prince out of jealousy, and he didn't have any malice.

Who would have thought that the horse was frightened and directly turned the eldest prince upside down and broke his leg!

Now the Seven Princes suddenly brought up the old matter, and it also implicated the cause of the cause, if the cause should be this matter, then waiting for the Peng family must be full of beheading!
