Chapter 541
541 Chapter 87-how to break out of this situation?
“Is it because you didn’t deliver the message?” Wang simu could not accept this reality. She glared at the servant girl and tried to push the blame to Xu niannian.
“I wouldn’t dare. I’m sure he’s here.” The maidservant said in an aggrieved manner.
Wang simu sat in a daze for a long time. She could not hide the disappointment in her bright eyes.”Forget it, let’s go back.”
“AI.” The maidservant responded briskly and left the cabin with small steps to the end of the boat to inform the boatman to return.
The boatmen pulled the anchor out of the water and worked together to row the boat. The embroidered boat slowly moved along the canal back to the capital.
After returning to the dock of the capital, Wang si mu entered the carriage waiting by the side of the road and instructed, “”LAN ‘er, go to the Xu residence now and tell them that I’m going to play with miss lingyue.
“I’ll wait here for an hour before I set off.”
“Young lady, why is this so?” The maidservant frowned.
“Even if he doesn’t have any feelings for me, I still want to know.” Miss Wang was very aggressive.
…………
It was the new year at the spring examination. He was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for fraud and was sent to prison.
This was a major case that was destined to shake the entire capital. It spread from the government office and the Ministry of Justice, and then through the six ministries, quietly spread to the entire capital’s officialdom.
After a few more days of fermentation and dissemination, everyone would know about it.
During the lunch break, officials and civil servants who were familiar with each other gathered in restaurants, teahouses, and other places to discuss the imperial examination fraud case.
“I knew it. If the students of Yun Lu Academy were to obtain the Huiyuan, would the officials of the Imperial court agree? Aren’t I here now?”
you only know a part of it. but not the other part. This matter is definitely not that simple. That Xu niannian is Xu Qi. an’s cousin, and Xu Qi. an is the best poet in Dafeng.’A difficult journey’ is an excellent work … I don’t believe that there’s nothing fishy about this.”
“Nonsense. Is Xu Qi ‘an the only one who can compose poems? Can’t we, scholars, have a sudden inspiration and come up with something by chance?”
“Alright, there’s no point in arguing about this. Xu Huiyuan was doomed to fail this time. Whether he cheated or not, his future was ruined. I remember that in the 12th year of yuanjing, there was a fraud case where three students were involved. The case was investigated for two years and they were finally released, but their reputation was ruined and their studies were abandoned.”
there was a similar case in yuanjing 20 years ago, but that time, the evidence was conclusive. The students and head examiners involved in the case were all executed by His Majesty.
if this case is confirmed, then with Xu Xinian’s identity as a student of Yun Lu Academy … Hiss, no matter how I think about it, there’s no possibility of turning things around. Do you think Guild Wei won’t make a move?”
it’s very likely. Xu Qi ‘an is Lord Wei’s confidant. He must have asked Lord Wei to help him.
“What if the Duke of Wei just stands by and does nothing?”
“If the Lord of Wei doesn’t help, who else can save Xu Huiyuan? He might be an expert in solving cases and killing enemies. How can a mere martial artist understand the ways of the officialdom?”
Chu Yuanqian, who was staying at her old friend’s house, also heard about this matter from her good friend who had returned from the Yamen during lunch.
Number 3 was caught up in the imperial examination fraud case … Even though number three was extremely intelligent, the battle between Yun Lu Academy and the Directorate was an irreversible situation that could not be resolved with intelligence … The best outcome would be to be stripped of his position and rank. Number three would no longer be an official, which would be a loss for the Imperial court …
I heard that this matter was started by the newly-appointed Imperial Censorate of the right, but I guess, um, that the various parties are either watching from the side or helping in secret. The new year may be in danger. His friend said.
Chu Yuanyang sighed and said in a deep voice,”I left the temple because I was tired of the party’s disputes.” Since the ancient times, the struggle between the parties has damaged the National power, and the cultivation of the Emperor has damaged his luck.”
“Yuan Qian, be careful with your words,” his friend’s expression changed drastically.
what are you afraid of? I’ve long been a white-robed man, free and unfettered. Chu Yuanqi laughed and then sighed.”I’ve thought about it for a long time just now, but I can’t break the situation. With Xu ningyan’s potential, Wei Yuan should be able to make a decision.
“However, this might be what that group of people wants to see. Sigh, I still can’t break out of this situation.”
………..
The Imperial Palace.
At Dexin court, huaiqing, who was wearing a plain Palace dress, was sitting behind a table. He nodded at the head guard in the room,”Bengong knows, you can leave.”
After the guard Captain left, huaiqing stood up and walked to the window. He frowned and muttered, “”If it were me, how would I break out of this situation?”
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and sighed.
Then, she suddenly thought, if it was Xu ningyan, what would he do?
…………
In a restaurant in the inner city, sun yaoyue reserved a private room and invited her classmates and friends from the Imperial College for a drink. The main purpose was to share a major event that would shake the scholars of the capital.
it was the beginning of the new year during the spring examination. My father sent people to arrest him this morning. It was said that he had cheated in the imperial examination and bribed the examiner.
“Is the information true?” The students of the Imperial College were shocked.
“Of course it’s true. I personally went to the Yamen to confirm it and asked my father. Although he was chased out of the Yamen, Assistant Minister Zhu has already revealed it to me. Then Xu niannian will be in prison, waiting to be interrogated.” Sun yaoyue glanced at her friends and said proudly.
Sun yaoyue was Minister sun’s only son. Her studies were not bad, better than most of the rich Playboys. However, she had a bad habit, she loved to gossip.
Sun yaoyue was both jealous and angry about the new year and high school festival. Now that he was imprisoned for cheating in the imperial examination, there was no need to mention how happy he was.
Xu Qi ‘an, the silver Gong, is not a son. He used eunuch Wei’s protection to show off in the capital and wrote poems to insult my father. He should be cut into pieces.
Sun yaoyue slammed the table and laughed.”If we can’t beat him, then we’ll beat his cousin. Hahaha, let’s drink.”
