Now Si Mubai has told Gu Hongyuan everything.

He could only pretend that nothing happened and poured all the dirty water on Jiang Zhao's head.

Chen Lianghan's mind was spinning, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

He immediately shouted that he had been wronged: "Master Gu, I have been wronged by this low-ranking official."

"In fact, it was Jiang Zhao who spoke rudely first, and she also uttered arrogant words and humiliated Xiaguan's parents, so Xiaguan sent her to prison."

"Are you just going to jail? I heard that you also sentenced Jiang Zhao to three thousand miles of exile."

"Even if Jiang Zhao is young and energetic and insults your wife and mother, you can fight him for dozens of times, but you would exile him three thousand miles away?"

"Even if I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I have no right to sentence the top candidate to be exiled for three thousand miles."

Gu Hongyuan said coldly.

Originally, Chen Lianghan was going to retort a few words, but when he heard that Jiang Zhao was ranked first in the examination, he was shocked and froze in place.

How can it be?

How can this be?

How could Jiang Zhao, who came from a humble family, be ranked first in the exam?

In his deep-rooted thoughts, even if a poor family can be on the list, it is usually just like the tail of the crane.

There are only a handful of people who have topped the list of poor families throughout history.

Jiang Zhao came from a poor family and ranked first in the general examination. How could he not be shocked?

But from the bottom of his heart, Chen Lianghan still didn’t want to believe that Jiang Zhao got the first place in the general examination: "Is Jiang Zhao... the first place in the general examination?"

"Master Gu, could this be a mistake?"

"Jiang Zhao comes from a humble family, how could he possibly get the top spot in the exam?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chen Lianghan stared at Gu Hongyuan closely, hoping that he would shake his head and deny that Jiang Zhao ranked first in the general examination.

If Jiang Zhao is really good at taking the exam, he will have to take part in the palace exam in half a month.

If the emperor knew that he had thrown the current top candidate into prison and had to be exiled for three thousand miles, then his official position would not be guaranteed.

But what Gu Hongyuan said next made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

"On the day of the examination, Jiang Zhao wrote an ever-lasting poem "Born in sorrow and died in peace and happiness", which caused strange phenomena in the world."

"His Majesty personally ordered that his article be sent to the palace. After reading it, he felt that it was an extraordinary article for the ages, and he personally named Jiang Zhao the top one in the examination."

Gu Hongyuan's words made Chen Lianghan so shocked that he couldn't help but take two steps back.

Jiang Zhao was actually the person who wrote the article that caused the strange phenomena in heaven and earth that day.

Chen Lianghan was already greeting Jing Huarong's eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart.

What a bastard, asking him to do things but not fully explaining the matter.

Now all the officials and ministers have come to visit.

"Master Gu, Master Gu, it was Jiang Zhao who humiliated Xiaguan's parents first, and Xiaguan was only out of anger for a moment before he was thrown into prison."

"As for being exiled for three thousand miles, it is completely nonsense. I know that Jiang Zhao has a good reputation, so I don't dare to punish him severely."

Chen Lianghan's mind immediately realized that he would never admit that he wanted to exile Jiang Zhao.

Anyway, Jiang Zhao has not been exiled yet. His subordinates have just taken orders and withdrew the official document that Jiang Zhao was exiled. As long as he refuses to admit it, Gu Hongyuan will have no choice.

As for the crime of being jailed, Jiang Zhao did insult his wife and mother that day.

In his mind, comparing his wife and mother with a despicable woman is an insult to his wife and mother.

The image he wants to create now is that he is a filial son, but he was imprisoned because he was angry with Jiang Zhao for insulting his wife and mother.

He was very filial, and even if Gu Hongyuan wanted to punish him, he couldn't go too far.

But it's not enough to just shift the responsibility to Jiang Zhao.

He cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "But the official is indeed guilty. It is the official's fault that he still put him in jail even though he knew that Jiang Zhao was a prostitute."

"If you want to be beaten or punished, your superiors will admit it."

After saying that, he bowed and got up.

It looked like he sincerely admitted his mistake.

If Si Mubai had seen his arrogant face in court that day, he might have been deceived by his appearance.

In a few words, he was glanced at completely.

He also portrayed himself as a filial son, while Jiang Zhao became an ignorant and crazy person.

After learning that Jiang Zhao got the top spot in the national examination, he behaved like he was trying to make ends meet.

Si Mubai couldn't help but sneer, Chen Lianghan really knew how to confuse right and wrong.

However, looking at Chen Lianghan who was full of lies, Si Mubai did not argue with him.

He knew that it was useless to argue. Chen Lianghan was the governor of Kyoto, and he was just a member of a poor family. Even if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, Chen Lianghan had probably erased all traces.

The subordinate who came in with Chen Lianghan just now left.

Now that Chen Lianghan can confuse right and wrong in front of the Minister of Civil Affairs, it must be because of this matter that his subordinate left.

Simu Bai said coldly: "Since Mr. Chen did not sentence Jiang Zhao to exile, is it inappropriate to still imprison Jiang Zhao now that he is Huiyuan?"

Although Chen Lianghan did not want to release Jiang Zhao, the current situation was no longer within his control.

He glanced at Gu Hongyuan furtively and found that he had no expression, so he said, "That's natural. I will order someone to let him out now."

After saying that, he quickly ordered his men: "Why don't you hurry up and take Mr. Jiang to the prison... No, please come out."

The subordinate accepted the order: "Yes, I will go now."

In the prison, the master and servant, who were still catching up on their sleep, were once again awakened by the sound of the chain door opening.

The two of them opened their eyes one after another, and Wei Xiang subconsciously looked behind the policeman.

When I found that Simu Bai did not follow me, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought Si Mubai would be able to rescue Jiang Zhao today.

The policeman opened the door and fanned his nose, somewhat disgusted with the smell of the prison.

But he still went in and asked Jiang Zhao respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Fu Yin, please come out."

His tone was no longer as arrogant as before. Now that he knew that Jiang Zhao was going to be ranked first, he naturally had to be polite. Otherwise, if he were to become an official in the court, he might be able to pinch himself to death if he stretched out his hand.

Hearing his words, Jiang Zhao was not surprised and just led Wei Xiang out of the cell.

But Wei Xiang was following her, and for some reason Chen Lianghan suddenly released them.

But Jiang Zhao had no intention of explaining. Under the leadership of the police, the two came to the side hall of the Kyoto mansion.

As soon as Jiang Zhao entered the door, she saw Si Mubai waiting, Chen Lianghan standing aside, and another person sitting. She had not seen that person, but looking at the position between the three of them, she could tell that person.

It must be a high-ranking position.

Si Mubai saw Jiang Zhao coming in, smiled at her, and then introduced: "Brother Jiang Zhao, this is Mr. Gu Hongyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Jiang Zhao bowed to Gu Hongyuan and said, "I've met Mr. Gu."

Gu Hongyuan was sizing up Jiang Zhao the moment she came in.

I found out that the age at the top of this year's general examination is actually so young, and it looks like he is still in the top spot.

Then he asked: "How square are you now?"

When he asked, Jiang Zhao was a little confused as to why he suddenly asked about his age, but he still replied: "My lord, there are six out of ten people born later this year."

Gu Hongyuan was slightly shocked by Jiang Zhao's age.

After all, from ancient times to the present, although there are few people from poor families who have ranked first in the examination, it is not uncommon. However, this is the first time that such a young and poor family has topped the list.

However, Gu Hongyuan had been an official for many years and quickly adjusted his expression.

He smiled and said: "Okay, young and talented young people are really to be feared."

"Your Excellency, that's a compliment." Jiang Zhao said modestly.

Gu Hongyuan stepped forward, patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder, and handed her the golden flower post that belonged to her.
