Chapter 138 Shocking News (1 more)(1/2)
Fraud in the spring examination.
This crime is so serious. What kind of young master can even bribe the minor officials in the examination room for help. That's all, he was criticized along the way from the examination room to the Ministry of Justice.
Soon the candidate's name was found out. His surname was Lin, and he was a candidate from Huai'an, named Lin Hongxiu!
It was said that the evidence was conclusive, and the evidence was present. After being arrested, there was a lot of criticism. The news immediately spread throughout Kyoto.
Such a big thing happened, as the chief examiner, Mo Xiang was unable to leave, so he could only send the memorial written by Mo Xiang himself into the palace.
After reading it, the Emperor of Daxia was so angry that he threw the memorial heavily on the dragon's case, "Shim and scum! Check it out, check it carefully, all participants will not miss it, and deal with it according to the law."
The Spring Examination is a major plan for the country, and this fraud has been common throughout the dynasties. Therefore, since the founding of the country, Daxia has issued several holy orders on the scientific examination, which can be said to be the most rigorous in history.
This kind of thing has never happened in the past few years. Unexpectedly, under such a strict law, there are still people who have taken the risk of making mistakes. If they are not severely punished, if this wind lasts for a long time, someone will repeat the same mistakes in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
No wonder the emperor was so furious.
"Father, for the sake of affecting other candidates' examinations, Mo Xiang and the ministers discussed and handed over the test evidence of the candidates and the people to the Ministry of Justice for investigation and disposal."
The emperor nodded to King Jing, "It's not easy to have a hard time for ten years. We can't be dragged down by this incompetent thing. Has the candidate's information been retrieved?"
"I brought them all." King Jing still did this carefully. When he entered the palace, he brought the information of the fraudulent candidates. Before he could read it, he was afraid that his father would read it.
The palace servant beside him bowed his body and took it, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.
The Emperor of Daxia was over fifty years old, or because he was working too much state affairs, and he was less than sixty years old, but his hair was left on his head.
He has a square look, a little bronze in his skin, and his spirit looks very good, with a bright look. In his early years, he had a killing aura that was not angry but powerful. In addition, he had been sitting on the dragon throne for more than ten years, and the king's aura was already strong, and he despised the world in every move.
Every candidate has a detailed background book, which must be submitted for verification when applying for the exam. They are all ready-made. When you open it, you can see clearly where you were born, where your home is, and where your family belongs to it. From childhood to juren, you can clearly understand it, even meticulously, from nearly three generations of ancestors, who participated in the scientific examination, whether they had entered the official career, etc.
"Huai'an...Lin Family..." After reading Lin Hongxiu's personal situation, the emperor looked unclear and placed the file with Lin Hongxiu's personal situation aside.
"First attending Enko..." Lin Family...
King Jing nodded, "Yes, I passed the imperial examination three years ago, and this year's first spring examination..."
"Well, since it has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice, let the Ministry of Justice find out and deal with it. You can assist the Zuo Prime Minister in presiding over the spring examination. The spring examination has not yet ended. Go quickly and tell the Zuo Prime Minister that this matter must not affect the subsequent examination. No matter who enters and leaves the examination room, they must conduct thorough investigation."
The emperor's face gradually stopped, and his voice remained serious.
"Yes, my son took the order to leave."
After King Jing left, the emperor picked up the file on the case and spread it open, gently stroked his fingers on it, and then pointed, "Lin family... Lin Hengchong's grandson, a child from a century-old scholarly family, cheating in the imperial examination?"
As he spoke, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he was already disbelief in his words.
In addition to the literary talent competition, there are also many people who secretly make trouble, but they just make such a big trip and cheat! I'm afraid there are not many who are so bold.
This matter... I've really checked it out.
"You said, how true is this matter?"
The eunuch who had just taken the file from King Jing glanced at him and the palace inside quickly withdrew from the main hall in an orderly manner.
This eunuch is not a person, but a general in charge of the great inner court. Although the emperor is a palace servant, when he goes out, even the ministers in the court will be treated with courtesy.
This person's name is Hua Xing. Unlike other eunuchs, he has been following him since the emperor started his army. If he had not been injured in a battle, he would not be able to do personnel and affairs from now on... Now he is afraid he is also a general who walks in the court.
From a deputy general to a palace servant in the deep palace, I am afraid that only the person involved knows the most about the twists and turns. However, when he insisted on serving others, he finally chose to stay in the palace and become a palace servant. The emperor had given him a chance to choose, but in the end he chose to stay by the emperor in this way and be loyal.
After so many years, if we hadn't known the situation back then, looking at Manager Hua, who would have thought that he could have been able to fight on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Everyone knows that the Hua Zhengguan beside the emperor is deeply trusted by the emperor, and the emperor treats him differently from the slaves around him. He calls him on a daily basis, and he is also called a name.
"The emperor thinks that if the Lin family's family tradition is like a rumor, there may be something strange about this fraud?" Hua Xing spoke without any hesitation about guessing the four words "Sacred Idea".
It is more important than the emperor. If you climb up to the top, you will have such a person around you. It is indeed special to the emperor.
This trust is a bit intriguing, because emperors have always been the most suspicious person.
The emperor nodded, "First it was the Luo family, then the Xianwang, and then to the Yundu Marquis' Mansion. You said, the Lin family has only been to Kyoto for a few days, but it is very lively."
The angry look just now was gone, as if nothing had happened just now. The emperor moved the file away and continued to read the memorial.
Hua Xing packed the file and served the pen and ink on the side, with every move without any mistake.
As long as the emperor wants to know, what can be hidden from the emperor's eyes? The emperor then began to notice that the Lin family came to Kyoto, and he kept hearing about the Lin family. He only heard about the entanglement with the Liang family and the opening of a college two days ago. At this moment, the spring examination has also been involved, so it is no wonder that the emperor paid attention to it.
"Does the emperor want to check the Lin family?" This is simple. Luo Yun's two families may have had a relationship with each other because of the previous dynasty. After all, when Lin Hengchong was an official in the court, his official position was quite good.
If it is just for this, the emperor will be interested in paying attention. Then the emperor will have endless things to do and worry about. In fact, as long as he does not touch on two things, the emperor will not have to worry about a commoner.
The first is the reserve position, and the second is the country.
Maybe the emperor was still the one who came to the door and impressed the Lin family a little bit. In addition, there has been a fraud now, so it is a bit of both.
"No rush for the time being, let's take a look at the investigation and punishment of the Ministry of Justice first."
Hua Xing's eyes moved, shut up and stopped talking, probably knowing what the emperor meant. I'm afraid there are some statements about this fraud case. However, the examiner is the left prime minister who has always been known for his rigorous and meticulousness. If there are questions in the examination room, Mo Xiang will not let someone leave the examination room and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice. There are all people and physical evidence. I am afraid that the boy from the Lin family will have only one final result, regardless of whether he really cheated or not.
Even if the emperor wants the truth, it is the truth behind it.
The news reached the Lin family, and the Fourth Master was still in Huai'an. The old man was so shocked that he almost didn't answer the news.
"It is absolutely impossible. If it doesn't work, my Lin family's descendants will not cheat!" The old man took a breath and said nothing but disbelief.
After hearing the news, Lin Shuangyu rushed over with Lin Hongtu. Her first reaction was that Mo Yihong did take action, which was similar to what she and the old man thought, and cheated.
I sent it to the Ministry of Justice so soon, I don't know, his side...
After hearing the news, Xiaoshuang asked Xiaoshuang to find Yi Jiuxi as soon as possible. She was powerless at the exam room now. Only by passing him can she know the details.
"Grandfather, I don't believe that the fourth brother will cheat. Don't worry, take care of yourself. Since you are in the Ministry of Justice, the government will always have to try the case before you can convict the crime. As long as the fourth brother doesn't do it, there will be no trouble."
Lin Hongtu also knew that when he was taken to the Ministry of Justice, there must be a reason that he could not make any excuses, but he firmly believed that their Lin family's children would not do such a thing.
The old man could not hear these things at this moment. After a moment of reassurance, he summoned Chen Chang to change his clothes and wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice.
"Grandfather, wait a little longer! Even if you want to go to the Ministry of Justice to find out, you shouldn't go like this!" Lin Shuangyu immediately stopped him. At this time, grandfather could not go.
Outside the criminal department, there are probably crowds of people watching the fun, and it is useless for grandfather to go, and it will cause a commotion instead.
After... the old man remembered something and looked at his granddaughter with hope, he finally calmed down a little. It's not that the old man couldn't hold on at this time. He cheated and sent it to the Ministry of Justice. That must be the evidence! This is a death penalty.
Lin Shuangyu looked at these gazes and could only grit her teeth and nod her head. Let's believe him, otherwise there would be no other way at this moment. This feeling would be really uncomfortable.
Through this incident, she also realized the fact that no matter how smart you are, you don’t have enough matching strength, you will be empty. Just like this time, she and the old man knew that someone would do something, but they thought about how they would do it, but they were powerless and could only place all their hopes on others.
"Grandfather, didn't you go to find Mr. Luo two days ago? He always helps with his work, at least he can get some time, right?" Lin Shuang said softly to comfort her. She knew that she left that day, and the old man went to Luo Mansion.
She didn't know how close the Luolin family was, so she just wanted to find the old man at this critical moment. It was probably not an ordinary relationship. I hope it would be useful.
Yes, yes, the last time he went there, he asked his old friend for help, and left a sentence: If there was any accident in the examination room of the three children of the Lin family, he would definitely help him circle.
As he was talking, Dashuang rushed in, not caring about so many people, walked to Lin Shuangyu's ear and said three words softly, "Don't worry."
After hearing this, Lin Shuangyu's brows relaxed. Since he could say these three words, no matter what the situation is now, it should be fine.
"Grandfather, don't worry, you are waiting for news at home. I'll go to the Ministry of Justice to check it out and reply. Fourth brother will be fine." Lin Shuangyu's eyes this time were a little sure of it, and the old man also felt it.
However, if it was such a big thing, the old man would never agree to let a daughter go to the house on weekdays, but he did not object at this moment because he knew that no one else would go here except her.
"Big sister, I'll accompany you." Lin Hongtu hurriedly wanted to follow.
"Xiaowu, please stay here with your grandfather. Chen Chang, you go with the eldest lady. If anything happens, it depends on the eldest lady's instructions." The old man calmed down and was decisive.
After saying that, he looked at Lin Shuangyu, and wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he said softly, "Big girl, please pay attention to yourself."
A smile was as usual, "Granddaughter understands." Today, she was wearing a red robe and covered with a black gauze. The woman was wearing this way, but she lost her tenderness, but she showed a little bit of a unique atmosphere.
Standing in front of others can easily make people ignore her age.
The body of fourteen or fifteen years old has a stunning momentum.
"Uncle Chen, let's go." If you don't take Chen Chang, the old man won't feel at ease, so let's take it with you. If there is any news, it will be quickly transmitted back.
The carriage left Lin Mansion and galloped towards the Ministry of Justice. Although many people already knew the candidate's name, they had not yet contacted the Lin family.
But after hearing this, Liang Dong thought about it carefully and looked happy.
"God helps me! The Lin family is not doing well, so they come, prepare the car, and go to the Ministry of Justice." As soon as they came back on the rotation, they had not had time to change their official robe, and they immediately became energetic when they heard the news.
Originally, he always lowered his head when he went out these days, especially when he was in the yamen, he always felt that someone was pointing fingers behind his back.
Although the Lin family did not sue the government office, but took revenge on their own, it was really like everyone knows that it was the Liang family who harmed the other party first. In addition, the fact that Liang Huimin was sent to the temple was once again involved, the Liang family tutor was questioned and his reputation plummeted.
The old lady knew the whole story and was directly paralyzed, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. Although it was caused by one's own fault, all this was caused by the Lin family. Liang Dong's anger was hard to vent, so she could only pour it on the Lin family to vent her anger.
"Master, this time, the Lin family has perished and wants to open a college. There is a young man who cheats in the scientific research. No one dares to go to such a college even if it pays for it."
Manager Fang said all the way, "These days, everyone from Liang's house is frightened. The master's family is eye-catching, and the same is true for them."
The upper part was pressed against the master's temper, and the lower part was listening to the gossip outside.
At this moment, it is also considered to be "unity against the enemy".
"I still open academy. I see, the Lin family, who has a scholarly family, is embarrassed to mention it." He looked contemptuous. If he hadn't been a little self-righteous in his cultivation, he would have learned from the people in the market.
General Manager Fang became more and more excited as he spoke, "What the master said is, what a scholarly family is? Apart from such a scandal, this family probably has no chance of being in the career of the officialdom. I am afraid that the mansion that just opened in Kyoto will be closed again."
"Hmph!" At this time, if he didn't step on it, how could he relieve the hatred in his heart?
When Lin Shuangyu arrived at the Ministry of Justice, the criminal department was crowded with people, and Chen Chang protected him. He finally squeezed out a way. The emperor had already given the decree to the case and immediately tried it, and the Ministry of Justice did not dare to delay.
