Chapter 139 The Evidence Is Wrong (2 More)(1/2)
One exam in the spring exam, ten years of hard work, one dream of the golden list, ten years of losing one's life.
This is a true portrayal of most scholars in the world.
After all, there are so many scholars in the world, and only a few hundred people can reach the imperial examination step by step. The Lin family, and the three young men are less than twenty, but they are already juren.
This is a good story for ordinary people, and the spring exam is just a icing on the cake.
But in the Lin family, this is really nothing. Even if they gave up their career and did not participate in the Spring Examination, which of the Lin family is now a master, except for the Fourth Master, and who is not from a juren?
Such a scandal broke out today. If it is true, the Lin family will be ruined, and it will be destroyed in the Lin family's most proud reading.
No wonder so many people come to watch the fun.
One is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the people from the Ministry of Justice can understand it. After all, the grudges between the Liang family and the Lin family have been very terrible in the past few days, and it is very difficult to think about it.
It was related to the spring examination and it was a scandal of bribing officials such as evil acts. The Minister of Justice must have been present in person. Liang Dong was a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was an official in the same court. He looked up but did not look down. Therefore, the two ministers of the Ministry of Justice went out and asked someone to see him. Geng Qiushu, the Minister of Justice, who was the chief judge, had to give him a seat. On such an occasion, he nodded.
However, he sat down and slapped the arbor. The crowd outside was in a stir. When he looked up, he found that it was the King of Xian. This was the first time he had seen him since he became a prince. According to the official rank, Geng Qiushu didn't have to get up to greet him, but...
Seeing this former crown prince, he couldn't help but stand up, "Young King!" is no longer suitable to be called a low-ranking official. It's really different from the past.
How can a person who can become a minister of the Book of Documents be a simple person? No matter what he thinks, he will never show any expression on his face, and he will have a good grasp of the standards.
I went to the respect of the past, but I was a little polite.
No matter what, they are the princes and the blood of the royal family. If you are not polite, you will be disrespectful to the royal family. This cannot be mistaken.
"Mr. Geng, I will come and see the fun."
Now, who is not watching the fun... It's just that you are so straightforward, you are the King of Xian. Geng Qiu moved his writing, maintaining the seriousness of the presiding secretary, and made a gesture of inviting the other party, and someone immediately brought a chair.
If this were the past, it would have been this scene. Geng Qiushu would have brought people to greet him and greeted him in various ways.
Yi Jiuxi nodded, looked calm and sat down. Liang Dong, beside him, could only get up and say hello, and thought to himself, why is Xianwang coming?
He was still sitting next to him, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. The Xianwang seemed to have looked at him and smiled, but when he looked at him again, it seemed that there was no more.
Did he read it wrong?
Forget it, he is just a pearlless king, not the former, a deposed prince. I heard that he could not even see the emperor. What was he afraid of? Thinking about it, his back was deliberately straightened a little.
On this front, Yi Jiuxi just sat down, and another person came out of the crowd, but stood at the door of the Ministry of Justice and did not take any further steps, but Geng Qiushu's body moved.
Although he didn't get up, his face was so kind and nodded to the door.
The Mo family's Qing Jian Gongzi...
It seemed that someone in the crowd had recognized it, and they all turned their eyes to each other. The handsome young man was so noble that people dared not get close to him, so they could only stand there.
Although Mo Qingjian was the son of Mo Xiang, he had no official position, so he stopped in front of the court and watched the excitement as he was so regular and reserved. No wonder he was so highly respected.
Geng Qiushu sat down again, glanced at him, trying to confirm if anyone else was coming. Fortunately, he looked up and his eyes widened. He quickly got up and walked out of the desk, and the crowd dispersed.
Master Luo came with a hand in hand, and only an old servant followed behind him. The old servant arrived at the door of the lobby and stopped. This was the rule of the clan.
"Ge Master, why are you here?" Geng Qiushu greeted him and asked respectfully. He became a senior official of the Shangshu, and he was also a first-rank official. However, there are three pavilions above the Shangshu. Among the three pavilions, except for the left and right prime ministers, there are only the prefect of the court, the right prime minister, Peng Xiu, who was called the right prime minister. Because of his discomfort in the past two years, the emperor granted the right prime minister, and the right prime minister can attend court according to his physical condition. With this propriety, the right prime minister has appeared almost once a month.
So Luo Ge took on a lot of work for the right prime minister. Now in the court, it is impossible to say that Luo Ge Lao and the left prime minister are in a confrontation.
Luo Zuye walked over in a royal blue brocade suit and responded politely to the other party. The others also stood up, shouting one by one, and Luo Zuye nodded.
"I heard that someone cheated in Enko. Come and see. Lord Geng, you don't have to worry about me. The trial will be launched. The emperor is still waiting." After saying that, he took a look at himself, as if he was looking for an empty seat and was sitting there.
Luo Zuye looked at him and someone quickly placed a seat, right on the right hand of King Xian.
"Ge Lao Luo is still so energetic!" Yi Jiuxi greeted with a smile, without any embarrassment. However, Liang Dong next to him became more and more uneasy, and stood up to salute and greet him.
"Sir Liang, please come and have a look. This is the Ministry of Justice." He means he is not here to do the job, there is no need to be so restricted. Like everyone else, he is watching the fun.
Look at the other person’s idle king, it’s so casual and natural.
"Sometimes I haven't seen you, and the Xianwang is still very charming."
They are short and cold, and it is really hard to chat here. When the Kanekido rings again, the mighty scenes finally come back to the topic.
Lin Shuangyu looked at all this quietly, and she didn't know what he had done. However, when he came, she explained that there was an arrangement and she didn't need to hurry. She looked at Lin Hongxiu who was kneeling in the hall with some concern. It was only a few days before she could recognize him.
She knew that anyone who came out of the scientific test would not be much better. But after this, she was a little indifferent. Fortunately, the fourth uncle returned to Huai'an, otherwise he would not feel sorry for him.
"Who is kneeling down from the hall? Report your name!"
Perhaps before he could react, the yamen runner next to him immediately stepped forward and scolded, "Sir, ask, reply!"
Lin Hongxiu was already scared and had never seen this scene. After being scolded, his instinctive voice became louder, "Student Lin Hongxiu."
"Hmph, I also call myself a student. You are a scholar. Since the founding of the country, Daxia has set strict rules. How dare you test the law with your own eyes and say, how did you bribe the minor officials and who else participate in it? In the court, you'd better give it honestly!"
Geng Qiushu is the Minister of Justice and has handled many cases. He is the best at this kind of fear and slap. With his majesty, he looks really scary.
He frowned and asked for guilt. Is this the ability of the Minister of Justice? There is no need to ask about the whole story?
Lin Shuangyu looked quietly, glanced at Geng Qiushu, with a little doubt. Suddenly, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him, looking along with his feelings, as if... more than one.
Today, the Ministry of Justice is really lively. She probably knows why the two people in it came, so what about this Mo family’s young master?
Is the heir of the Mo family selected by Mo Yihong very concerned about the scientific examination because Mo Yihong was in charge of it? Or... Is it purely to watch the excitement?
When he was a child, he was not a person who liked to watch the fun. Whenever there was a big banquet in the mansion, he would sneak out. Some things would change with random changes, but their personality was difficult to change.
It seemed that Lin Shuangyu looked at him, and greeted him with a smile, making people unable to see his emotions at all.
In public, there was something wrong with the eyes. Yi Jiuxi glanced at him and looked at the lobby with her chin. This noble young master of the Mo family has not done anything since the last teahouse, or it is too good to hide.
Before, he almost believed it. It is difficult for a person to deceive people with his eyes.
He was sure that this Mo family’s young master was not here to join in the fun, he was coming for someone, for a woman.
This is very interesting. I heard that Mr. Mo has been without desires and no desires since he was a child. There is not even a girl who is close to him, let alone those girls who are so kind.
Before, there was a joke that Mr. Mo probably had something wrong with his preference, but... the glance he looked at the woman was also a bit intriguing. It was not the look of a man interested in a woman, but... Exploration...
That's right, it's just exploration.
Alas! Her temperament, her restrained and conceited ostentatiousness really makes people want to find out.
"I'm wronged! I don't, I don't cheat, I don't!"
Lin Hongxiu even reacted and called for justice, which was not easy.
"I am wronged? People have all the evidences. Do you think I am wronged? I will never repent, a quibbling person!" Another sound of a slap in the table.
"Unforgivable! Sir, I didn't cheat. I don't know him. That pile of paper balls was my draft! I didn't cheat!" Lin Hongxiu was a little unexpected.
Lin Shuangyu couldn't help but look over, thinking she was scared, but she didn't expect that... This person sometimes had a bit of temper and a little stubborn, and it was not a bad thing.
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. OK, you said you don't know him, so you should ask him if you take me to ask him! Come on, bring him."
The minor official was kept being held aside, and at this time he was allowed to be taken to Lin Hongxiu, kneeling on the ground without any anger, as if he had already known his destiny.
As Lin Shuangyu expected, since such a person was arranged, he was a dead son, and he would not speak up a word, neither defend or correct him.
There are many ways to make people willing to be dead sons. With Mo Yihong's temper, this matter should not be arranged by him, but he must be someone he is extremely relieved to.
In other words, the one who arranged this dead son should be someone who Mo Yihong was quite relieved.
Who could make Mo Yihong feel so at ease? She was not afraid of overturning the boat? She was a little surprised because, in my impression, Mo Yihong never trusted anyone easily.
"Okay, I'm so stubborn. Drag it out and beat me!" Geng Qiuyun gave the order, and the yamen runner dragged someone to execute the execution.
When the board went down, the other party didn't hum, as if it wasn't hitting him.
No! There seems to be some problems with this dead son. Lin Shuangyu looked quietly and always felt that something was wrong.
The board was halfway through, and suddenly there was no sound. Then the yamen runners panicked and reported, their faces turned pale. When they passed by, the slight official was already lying on the ground, motionless.
"Sir! He... bit his tongue... committed suicide."
"Where is biting wood? How can you bite the tongue?" Such key witnesses will tie the biting wood to prevent them from committing suicide by biting their tongue. Why did they even commit suicide?
Geng Qiushu stood up with a look of surprise. The coroner had already seen it, but there was no accident. As the yamen runner said, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, and bite the wood and fell to the ground.
"Sir, the rope that tied the wooden bite is loose." After careful inspection, the result was soon. Why did the rope that tied suddenly loose?
Before anything was found in this case, one of them died.
Lin Hongxiu was really scared this time, his face turned pale, his body was trembling, but his voice was louder than before, "Sir, the grass-roots are wronged!"
A key figure died unexpectedly. If Lin Hongxiu couldn't find anything else in the case, there would probably be no follow-up. This little official might have committed suicide because of fear of crime or maybe it was a side. The key point now depends on Lin Hongxiu.
Geng Qiushu cursed in his heart. He was intimidating just now. These yamen runners must have not taken any serious measures. They just wanted to see if they could make a blow-up. If this is the case, it would be easier to do anything. Who knows...
If they really pursue it, their Ministry of Justice might be implicated, so how could the yemu be loose if it says it...
"Mr. Geng, let the official make a fuss. It doesn't matter if this little official commits suicide for fear of crime. Isn't there any physical evidence?" Liang Dong suddenly spoke, afraid that Lin Hongxiu would be able to escape if the person testified to death.
Because people died, the crowd watching outside also became quiet.
At first, Geng Qiushu thought that this case must not be that simple. In the past, fraud cases were mostly leaking test questions in advance. It was the first time that a minor official had bribed the exam room to deliver notes.
This paper ball cannot be written by this little official himself, right? Who asked him to take it? Who can deliver things in this heavily guarded examination room?
After years of experience in the Ministry of Justice’s trial, he smelled something, so he was frightened when he came up, but this scare was not aimed at Lin Hongxiu, but the minor official.
Thinking about how to find a big case, who knows...
To be continued...
