Chapter 375: It's time to start

The clerk and the censor are both clear-headed officials, a bit like the "military supervisors" in various departments and churches, who are specifically responsible for supervising some inappropriate things in the department and churches. They even have the right to refute imperial edicts. If there are some contents in the imperial edict that the clerk thinks are wrong, they can be directly returned and not implemented. Therefore, although they are just like the censor, they are mostly young people, and their rank is not high, but their authority is quite large.

Even some school officials were invited, and everyone gathered together, with a total of 67 people, with a huge momentum. When they arrived at the main hall of the Ministry of Personnel, they saw Wang Hua sitting here high at this time. He looked calm and gentle, and his expression was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one knows that Ye Chunqiu is your son-in-law and disciple of Wang Hua. This is a relationship of relatives, no one knows that Ye Chunqiu is involved in the fraud of the imperial examination. Once he is convicted, he will die without a place to die. In the worst case, he will be killed. At the least, he will be a person who has a student status for the people and may even be demoted to a minor official.

At this time, the prince should have been very impatient, but now, the prince actually stroked his beard and smiled. When he saw everyone coming, he said, "Ah... please come here, there is something to tell me, oh, everyone doesn't have to be too polite, no need to be too polite."

But when you see this abnormal Wangbutang, many people begin to doubt their lives. By the way, Wangbutang, your closed disciple and son-in-law are about to finish, why are you still so kind? Are you really not in a hurry?

"Please come here, it's just a small matter. Oh, I have something here, please take a look, um...just look..."

Wang Hua still had a smile on his face, with a hint of deepness in his eyes. This old bone lived a very depressed life. He used to be arriving at the top, but unexpectedly, he was demoted to Nanjing because he offended Liu Jin, and his son also offended the traitor and went to Guizhou. Now this son-in-law is like this again.

I can't swallow this.

He has seen through this old bone for so many years, and now he can't bear it anymore and no longer need to endure it!

A trace of determination passed through the turbid old eyes...

……………………………………

Yundelou, the inner city of Nanjing, is one of the best tea shops among the neighborhoods. Many scholars are willing to come here to have tea, but today, the business here is very small and it seems particularly deserted.

The owner of the teahouse naturally had to complain a few times. It wasn’t because of the trial that all the scholars ran away. Now, no one came to have tea.

Thinking of the fraud in the imperial examination, the boss couldn't help but feel regretful. There were many news in the tea shop every day. At first, everyone decided that Ye Chunqiu had cheated, but then there was voices of doubt. Anyway, it was hard to tell whether it was true or not. But I heard that Ye Chunqiu was a real talent, but for some reason he had to cheat, and I wonder if it was an unjust case.

But this is something that has nothing to do with me after all. I remember that it was also in Nanjing. In the twelve years of Hongzhi, Xu Jing and Tang Yin were also very talented, and finally...

What surprised the owner of the teahouse was that at this moment, many uninvited guests came.

These people wearing luster scarves came over and over again, and then they asked for a few elegant rooms. The boss did not recognize them, and only heard that they were called Uncle Ye.

The person who came was Ye Jing. In addition to Ye Jing, there were Chen Rong and Zhang Jin. Many Ningbo students also came, including Juren, scholar, and some local fellow villagers.

After entering the elegant room, Ye Jing looked very excited. He suddenly realized that there was a burden on his shoulder. His son was in trouble and he had to save him. So he gritted his teeth and waited without waiting for the guy to come for tea.

After a while, someone hurried in and said happily: "Here's here, things are here."

Huh... Ye Jingshen took a breath, then stood up and looked at every fellow villager. He pondered for a long time, and suddenly, he fell to the ground.

This sudden action scared everyone. Ye Jing is a Jinshi, although he is only a top student, and for many of them here, they are still Ye Jing's younger generations.

Chen Rong hurriedly wanted to step forward and help Ye Jing up.

Ye Jing kowtowed solemnly: "Fortunately, Chunqiu, I met a father who was so unpromising. Today, a disaster is coming. If I can overcome the difficulties, then wealth and honor will be in front of me. But if I can't pass this path of ghosts, I will die without a place to die. As a father, I have too many useless places and cannot share my worries. Instead, I often implicate him. Today, I am all my fellow countrymen, friends, relatives and friends from Chunqiu, and I am willing to contribute to the Spring and Autumn Period. I, Ye Jing, are so grateful, so I ask everyone to accept my greeting. Thank you."

Zhang Jin and Chen Rong helped him up, and Zhang Jin said, "Uncle Shi, what does this mean? Chunqiu is also our brothers. It is natural to do our best. Uncle Shi, the time has come, it's time to start."

Ye Jing nodded, with a little resolute look in his eyes, he murmured: "Yes, it's time to do it. I'm fine, please let me go to the tribute court!"

…………………………

The trial continues.

However, at this time the balance of victory had completely turned to Wang Hong. To some extent, today's trial was prepared long ago. Although there were some minor twists and turns in the middle, it was obviously harmless.

At this time, He Mao began to express his 'responsibility': "Yes, it was Ye Chunqiu who asked He Shuijin to search for. After finding Ye Chunqiu, Ye Chunqiu gave me five hundred taels of silver. The court paid me a heavy trust. I was crazy and died ten thousand times. Today, the criminal officer repented. I... I... the criminal officer deserves punishment, and would rather die quickly..."

When he talked about death quickly, his voice was trembling.

Now that things have come, he has no way out. The Jinyiwei's methods have made him unable to survive. All he is thinking about is how to die as quickly as possible. What's more,... he has a few sons and a few grandchildren. If... he refuses to submit, these evil people can do anything.

All he saw was fear, and he thought that the court would immediately discuss the crime. He did not dare to see Ye Chunqiu. Perhaps because of guilt or other reasons, he kept complaining about many charges for himself. At this moment, he was a little reluctant to ask for it, and was arrested for the punishment of Mingzhengdian.

"Everything... is Ye Chunqiu and the Sin Guan..."

The people who were watching the trial were already talking and became more and more excited. In fact, at this point, everyone knew that the case had a final say, and Ye Chunqiu... was dead.

"Okay, enough!" Wang Hong finally interrupted He Mao's confession, but his face looked extremely satisfied.
Chapter completed!
