sixty-nine, prisoners
"We can prove that Shangguan family cheated on the imperial examinations!"
"We have a deal contract!"
The Shangguan family really regards the business test as a business.
After selling the test number in the contemporary era, when collecting the other party’s money, they will sign a contract with the other party.
After the results of the examination are released, the contract will be collected regardless of whether the examination is passed or not. If the examination is not passed, 90% of the silver will be refunded.
Because of such a contract guarantee, the business and sales examination will continue for so long.
I have to say that in this regard, the Shangguan family is a master in business.
When Zhang Yi and others saw Xu You and others taking out contracts one after another, their faces turned dark.
No matter what, they never expected that someone would stand up and admit that they spent money to find someone to take the exam!
Aren’t they afraid that their family will be implicated?
Unless someone gives them a promise...
Zhang Yi's heart moved slightly and looked up at Ye Miao and Cheng Shuo. Could it be these two people?
Xu You spoke with justice and said that they were obsessed with ghosts for a while. In order to give the family an explanation, he asked someone to take the exam. Later, he realized that he was wrong and took the initiative to come forward to expose it, etc.
In fact, he felt very sad. If it weren't for the Crown Brother of the Wu Kingdom who was named Lin Nan, who forced him to force him, how could he be such a pioneer?
However, the Crown Prince not only promised that if he came out to testify, he would not let him and his family be held in the way, but later pointed him in a famous way, asking him to pull more back and share the focus, so that his behavior would not be particularly eye-catching.
Xu Youxin thought that it would be better to get more than one person, so she secretly looked for the children of aristocratic families who also bought the exam number.
The children of those aristocratic families were not old. Although they were all masters of eating, drinking, having fun, and having sex, they were not well-versed in the world. Xu You used Cheng Shuo's indirect words and used himself as an example to understand him with emotion and reason, and quickly got rid of several people.
Then one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, and most of the fifty people before came here with Xu You and admitted their activities with the Shangguan family in public.
"Mr. Zhang, Master Shangguan San, is the evidence conclusive now?"
Ye Miao's ethereal and soft voice made Sun Xiucai and others come back to their senses from their shock.
She is worthy of being the eldest princess of Qi Chu! Only she can do such awesome operation!
"The subordinate official has dereliction of duty and the corruption in his jurisdiction is hired. The subordinate official cannot refuse the blame. Please give him a chance to let the subordinate official investigate the matter thoroughly!"
Even though Zhang Yi said this, his mind was working quickly. Should he push this matter completely on the Shangguan family, or would it be more cost-effective to just do it all the time?
Before he could make a decision, Shangguan Wu, who was standing beside him, was already laughing arrogantly.
"Hahaha, so what if the evidence is conclusive!?"
"I have reached the outside of Huaxi City with 100,000 elite soldiers in my hand. As long as my Shangguan family gives the order, I can razed the Huaxi City to the ground!"
Looking at the drastic changes in Xu You, Sun Xiucai and others, Shangguan Wu smiled proudly, "Your Highness, if you don't want your people to die tragically under the iron cavalry of my Shangguan family, just be slaughtered!"
"So the money you greedy for the Dongchi Science and Technology Research Institute over the years has been spent on building the private soldiers of the Shangguan family? There are already as many as 100,000?"
If Shangguan Wu was not so proud, he should be able to hear the situation. The calmness in Ye Miao's tone was too abnormal, but he was too proud at this time, and he was so proud that he had forgotten everything and ignored everything.
"That's right!" Shangguan Wu admitted it openly, "For the sake of the eldest princess' hard work, I will let you die clearly!"
"These soldiers are not private soldiers of my Shangguan family, but are in charge of the Empress and His Highness of the Crown Prince." He said: "My Shangguan family has been entrenched in Dongchi for a hundred years. When the prince ascended the throne in the future, it will be the time when my Shangguan family soared into the sky."
"Aren't you afraid that the queen and the prince will kill the donkey?" Ye Miao said.
"Your Highness, no matter how much you provoke discord, it is useless to delay time."
Shangguan Wu put his hands behind his back, as if he was standing in the Golden Palace, under one person and above ten thousand people, looking down on all living beings with a proud look, and his eyebrows were full of enthusiasm.
"Because you don't have this opportunity."
Zhang Yi quickly straightened his back. After hearing Shangguan Wu's words, he already knew how to choose.
The successful one becomes the king, and the defeated one becomes the enemy.
The eldest princess has undoubtedly lost completely in this battle with the Shangguan family in Dongchi, or in this battle with the queen and prince.
Zhang Yi shouted loudly, "Come here! Take down the thief who pretends to be the eldest princess and the Crown Brother of Wu!"
Xu You and others' expressions changed drastically. They didn't care about the shabbyness of Sun Xiucai and others, and they couldn't help but get together to keep warm.
At the same time, they secretly felt bitter in their hearts. They were not stupid, because in this game with the Dongchi officialdom and the Shangguan family, the eldest princess and the crown prince lost, so they were charged with pretending.
But they quickly turned their minds to themselves and their families, and meditated in their hearts, wondering if it would be too late to regret at this time?
Before they could open their mouths to regret, Zhang Yi changed his tone and brought them back to reality.
Hey, strange, where are the officers and soldiers who came to arrest people? Why are there no one of them missing?
Zhang Yi shouted a few more times, but the result was exactly the same. No officer and soldier came in, and no officer and soldier who had gone to capture Shangguan Shu before came in.
His back was soaked, and a very terrifying thought vaguely emerged in his mind.
Shangguan Wu's expression changed slightly, but he was still calm. He took out something from his sleeve and prepared to send a signal.
"Master Shangguan San, I advise you not to waste your energy."
Ye Miao said slowly: "Your people, including your 100,000 elite soldiers, have all been captured by us!"
