Chapter 329 329 Miss Love Brain 17
Just when Mingyue "recovered" her previous vitality and continued to study movable type printing and papermaking, the list of candidates for this imperial examination came out.
Originally, the Liu family had forgotten about this incident, but they never expected that officers and soldiers would come to their door.
Hearing the loud knocking on the door outside, Mother Liu went to open the door in surprise, only to see a group of officers and soldiers outside.
She took two steps back with some fear and asked in a low voice: "Master Bing, what are you doing?"
The leading officers and soldiers looked inside and asked loudly: "Can Liu Ce and Liu Xiucai live here?"
Liu's mother nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" After thinking about it for a while, she came to her senses again, and immediately said with surprise on her face: "Isn't my son a successful candidate in the exam?"
The leading officer and soldier snorted coldly and waved to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Let's go in and arrest people."
Mother Liu's eyes trembled, and she opened her hands to stop him: "What? Arrest people? Master Bing, my son didn't do anything. You can't arrest people randomly."
However, the officers and soldiers ignored her. A group of people pushed past her and filed in. They quickly found Liu Ce lying on the bed, and then dragged him away with a look of fear on his face.
Originally, Liu Cuier and Liu Xiaolian were embroidering in the house, but they didn't even dare to say anything, and just watched helplessly as he was taken away.
Liu's father went out to look for work. After he came back and found out about it, he went out to inquire about it in a hurry.
Then the family found out that Liu Ce was arrested because he was suspected of buying and selling imperial examination questions. This was a serious crime of cheating and deceiving the emperor. If he was not careful, he would lose his head or be exiled.
But everyone in the Liu family knows that Liu Ce is a pauper. How can he have the money to buy and sell test questions? This seems problematic at first glance.
It had only been a few days, and Father Liu seemed to have aged by more than ten years. There were many wrinkles on his face, and the bags under his eyelids were quite deep.
"Xiao Lian, go find Miss Yun and beg her to save your brother. Now we can only hope that Miss Yun still has some friendship for your brother." Father Liu leaned against the door and sniffed. , it took a while before he opened his mouth and said.
However, Liu Xiaolian shook her head and said with fear: "Dad, I, I don't dare."
Last time, her brother went to find Yun Mingyue and was beaten like that. She didn't dare to go. What if she was beaten too?
The veins on Father Liu's forehead throbbed and his fists were clenched: "You have to go. Your brother is the only son of our old Liu family and the root of our old Liu family. You must know that you can only be well if your brother is well. "
Liu Xiaolian bit her lip and her breathing was chaotic and rapid: "Well, then I want Sister-in-law Cui'er to accompany me."
Liu Cuier raised her eyes and looked at her, then paused and spoke proactively: "Mom, dad, just let me accompany Xiaolian."
Now the Liu family is just a living doctor. As long as their daughter is willing to go and their son can be released, they don't care about anything else.
So Mingyue, who was squeezing mud in the room, soon heard the maid coming to report: "There are two Miss Liu outside who want to see me."
While Ming Yue lamented that the Liu family was really stuck to the sticky candy and couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she shook it off, she cleaned her hands and went out to meet people. Oh, in fact, she was here to watch the fun.
This time, there was finally no arrogance on Liu Xiaolian's face. She looked at Mingyue with extra respect, and her words were much more polite than before.
Liu Xiaolian knelt on the ground and said pleadingly: "Sister Yun, oh no, Miss Yun, please save my brother, please, just for the sake of past kindness, please let the Prime Minister spare me."
Got him."
Liu Cuier also knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise her head and said nothing.
Mingyue opened the teacup and took a sip of tea, then gently put the teacup down, and then asked slowly: "I still don't know what happened, why don't you help me answer my questions every day?"
This is really true. Mingyue didn't want to pay attention to the Liu family anymore. Anyway, the Liu family would go back to Liujia Village if they had no money. And the people in Liujia Village have been offended by them, and they will definitely not be able to live in the future.
Better off.
A soft knife won't hurt anyone, but it is the most difficult thing to endure. The Liu family still has to endure it for the rest of their lives, so why should she give them pleasure?
But Mingyue didn't expect that the Liu family would dare to come to her door, so shouldn't this be a show of excitement?
Seeing that she was willing to answer the conversation, Liu Xiaolian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Actually, I don't know what happened. It's just that a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to the house. They said that my brother was buying and selling imperial examination questions, and then they gave him to him.
Arrested. Miss Yun, you know, all the money we have at home has been given to you. My brother has no money to buy exam questions. This must all be a misunderstanding. My brother must have been wronged. Please save him.
"
As soon as Mingyue finished listening, she immediately knew what was going on.
She believed Liu Xiaolian's words, knowing that Liu Ce must not be able to afford the test questions, she also knew that there must be something wrong with this matter, and she also knew that this matter must be related to Prime Minister Yun.
But since it was Prime Minister Yun who did it, she, as a daughter, must side with her father.
Mingyue raised the corner of her mouth: "If you want to redress your grievance, you have to go to the Lord of Jingzhao Mansion. I have no control over official affairs."
Liu Xiaolian's mouth almost burst into tears: "But, but, Miss Yun, can't you say a few words to Prime Minister Yun? For an official as big as the Prime Minister, as long as he is willing to say a few good words for his brother, then he will definitely be fine.
.”
Mingyue shrugged and smiled evilly: "That's not possible. How can I let my father pretend to be a public servant for personal gain? Moreover, I haven't settled the accounts with Liu Ce for cheating me. He cheated me so hard, and I don't want to."
Even if you harm him, how can you continue to help him? Miss Liu, are you too naive?"
Only then did Liu Xiaolian hear the nonchalance in her tone. She raised her head in surprise: "But don't you like my brother? Didn't you want to marry your brother before?"
"Silly girl, you also said that was before." Mingyue walked up to Liu Cuier, suddenly stretched out her hand to lift her chin, and sighed in a half-hearted way: "Hey, you are Liu Ce's wife, right?
In fact, if he didn't already have a wife, I wouldn't have minded saving him, after all, I like him so much."
Liu Cuier looked at the undisguised malice on Mingyue's face and couldn't help but froze. She suddenly realized that this Miss Yun was different from the soft persimmon she had imagined.
But Mingyue said nothing more and just asked the maids to see off the guests.
Liu Xiaolian looked at Liu Cuier, bit her lip, and a trace of resentment quickly flashed in her eyes.
