Chapter 147: Impeachment of the Hall of Virtues [Part 2]
"Yang Ji, I've heard about the matter. Don't worry, I will definitely help you. - That bastard is so despicable that he actually did such a thing."
Lu Ling frowned and gritted his teeth. Before anyone came closer, he immediately cursed from afar, with an angry look on his face.
Yesterday at the Duwei Mansion, she had been holding back her anger. She knew all about Yang Xuanlan's attack on Yang Ji. But one day later, Yang Xuanlan used the Virtue Palace to make things difficult for Yang Ji and once again provoked Lu.
The anger in Ling's heart.
"Lu Ling, I'm sorry to trouble you about this matter."
Yang Ji said apologetically.
"Don't say such things. Even if you don't have anything to do with that kind of boy, I can't forgive him!"
Lu Ling's face was full of anger. He pulled Yang Ji and immediately walked to the Virtue Hall:
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the appraisers!"
The group of people stepped onto the steps and immediately walked into the Virtue Hall.
Just when Yang Ji and others entered the Virtue Hall, a figure also rushed to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, strode up the steps, and stopped in front of a tall and tall young figure.
"Eldest Young Master, you are right as you expected. That Lu Ling really went to the Virtue Hall to help Yang Ji."
Yang Hu lowered his head and said respectfully.
Yang Xuanlan stood on the steps, his big red robe dancing vigorously. Hearing Yang Hu's words, a look of knowingness appeared on his face.
"If that's the case, then we should take action."
Yang Xuanlan played with a green jade thumb in his hand, a mysterious look flashed in his eyes, then turned and walked into the city lord's palace...
…
In the Hall of Virtue, there was a list of documents, and five or six officials in green and white robes were transcribing something.
"Green" and "white" really represent the word "innocence", which is also the responsibility and pursuit of the Virtue Hall. Compared with other government offices, there is obviously a shortage of manpower here.
When Lu Ling and others opened the door and walked in, they were obviously startled, and immediately an appraiser strode up.
"What are you doing? Who told you to break in? Get out of here!"
The middle-aged appraiser looked furious.
The Hall of Virtue is very special. Because it is independent of governance and military power, except for some court officials and "students" involved in the incident, other non-competent people are strictly prohibited from entering.
Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang and others are obviously not people with fame and pregnancy at first glance.
"Hmph! Do you mediocre officials want to deprive Yang Ji of his qualification as a martial arts student?"
Lu Ling was in a rage, speaking angrily and with a bad face.
"Um?"
The middle-aged appraiser's brows jumped, and he immediately realized something. He glanced at everyone and said sternly:
"Which one of you is Yang Ji?"
"Students are exactly that."
Yang Ji immediately took a step forward.
"Humph, just in time."
The middle-aged appraiser waved his hand and immediately threw a list with still wet ink towards Yang Ji:
"We have just received a complaint from Yang Xuanlan, the martial arts examiner in your family. It said that you committed the following crime, beat the clan leader, and had a corrupt character. According to the rules of the court, your qualification as a martial arts student is now officially cancelled."
Yang Ji took it and took a look. The list was stamped with the seal of the Hall of Virtue, and the content mentioned was exactly the same as what Wang Xian mentioned. If he hadn't gotten the news and arrived in time, the list would have been posted all over the city.
"The Palace of Virtue deprived me of my qualifications just because of one sentence?"
Yang Ji suppressed his anger and said.
"The military examiners represent the face of the imperial court. Every word they say is worth a fortune and has great credibility. If they are not upright in character, how can they win the imperial examination? They have already been dismissed by the imperial court without waiting for the "electoral examination"! Moreover,
, this martial artist is of the same race as you. If he is to testify against you, what else can you say?"
The middle-aged appraiser said unceremoniously:
"Although the imperial court attaches great importance to martial arts, it also attaches great importance to literary virtue. It is impossible for a crooked and evil person to be rewarded by the imperial court."
"My lord, Yang Ji once saved many people in the Martial Palace, and also helped the court repel the people in the green forest, and made great contributions. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
Lu Youxiang said from the side.
"That's just his 'martial arts', it doesn't mean anything."
The middle-aged appraiser is selfless.
"What about the captain of the city?"
Yang Ji stepped out from the crowd and suddenly interrupted.
In the main hall, it suddenly became quiet. Several other appraisers were still copying the list. When they heard this sentence, they all looked over.
"Do you have a captain to testify for you?"
The middle-aged appraiser frowned deeply, this was not what he expected.
Yang Ji didn't say much and handed over Captain Ding's autographed letter.
"Your Excellency, you have concluded that I am evil and evil based on just one-sided remarks. Can evil and evil ways still gain the trust of the imperial captain? The military examiner represents the face of the imperial court, doesn't the imperial captain represent the face of the imperial court?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
The letter had the captain's seal on it, so it couldn't be fake. After reading this simple letter of certification, the middle-aged appraiser's breathing became disordered and his eyes became uncertain.
Throughout the history of Virtue Hall, there have been many "treacherous and evil people" who pretended to be upright and upright, but their evil deeds were only exposed in the end.
Therefore, Virtue Hall has never been a big fan of "judging people by their appearance." Even if you talk nonsense and how upright you are, Virtue Hall will not listen to you.
In short, the good ones may not necessarily be listened to, but the bad ones must be listened to. The so-called "unfounded rumors" must have their reasons. What's more, the person who testified against Yang Ji was a prominent "martial arts scholar" in the imperial court.
!
There were not many such things in the history of Virtue Palace when a "Martial Arts Examiner" of the imperial court testified against a "Martial Arts Student". They couldn't help but ignore it.
But now, Captain Ding's letter had an effect and affected his initial judgment.
"It's useless! This letter can only be used as a reference. According to the rules of the Hall of Virtue, unless you find someone with the same status as Yang Juren to prove your innocence, otherwise, your qualification as a martial arts student will still be deprived."
The middle-aged appraiser said coldly and without mercy.
"What!"
Wang Xian, Lu Youxiang, Duan Gang and others were completely shocked. Normally, the "Dexing Hall" had no sense of existence at all. Some people didn't even know the existence of the "Dexing Hall", which is enough to explain the problem.
No one expected that the people in the "House of Virtue" would be so unkind, and they would simply seize the problem and not let it go.
Yang Ji's heart sank. Although Captain Ding had already hinted, the severity of the situation was beyond his expectation.
"Are you tasters all made of elm wood?"
Lu Ling listened angrily and laughed. She was rarely so angry, but these people really aroused her anger. They even made her more angry than Yang Xuanlan.
Yang Xuanlan is just despicable, and these appraisers are simply stupid.
"Yang Xuanlan is from the same clan as him. He pretended to be a public servant to deal with him. It's ridiculous that you people actually believed it. You don't believe what the dignified captain said, but you believe a despicable villain!"
Lu Ling said angrily.
"The Military Examiner is the pillar of the imperial court. If his words cannot be trusted, who can be trusted? It is hard for me to believe that a Military Examiner would pretend to be a public servant for personal gain. Moreover, the Dexing Palace has the rules of the Dexing Palace. It is impossible for you to do so easily just because you have found Captain Ding."
Change the decision. - Again, unless you find someone with the same status as the martial arts examiner to prove it for him, otherwise, the regulations of the Hall of Virtue will not change."
After the middle-aged appraiser finished speaking, he turned around and went back to continue copying.
"I told you I hate scholars!"
Lu Ling was completely mad. He had never seen such a group of inhumane guys:
"Okay! Since the words of a city captain are impossible, what about my words?"
"You? Who are you?"
The middle-aged taster turned his head with a blank look on his face.
Although he knew that the situation was serious, Lu Youxiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard the middle-aged taster's words. He had long heard that the "Dexing Palace" was independent of military power and governance, and was unlike other palaces.
As a result, it is closed for almost two-thirds of the year.
But these people have been in Pingchuan City for so long, and they don't even know Lu Ling, the daughter of the city lord. People can't help but be surprised at how lonely they are.
"She is the daughter of the city lord's palace."
Only Wang Xian was calm. He had had some contact with them and knew the temperament of these people.
"I see."
The middle-aged appraiser shook his head and regained his indifferent expression:
"The city lord is the city lord, and a daughter's gold is a daughter's gold. It would be okay if the city lord Pingchuan comes forward. But if it's just you, there won't be any efficiency. It's not even as good as Captain Ding's words."
"asshole!"
Lu Ling's face was ashen, and she had thoughts of murder. This was the first time since she was a child that she was rejected so neatly.
Others didn't look very good either.
This situation was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
