"Demon King, who did you say tampered with the results? How audacious!" Feng Shui Qing had just finished feeding Hyunchen Mandrill, and now she picked up her chopsticks to eat, chewing and chatting with him.
".
Although she didn't get a response, she still read to him all the big and small things that happened around her.
It's been this way day after day for three years.
After dinner, Feng Shui Qing noticed that the devil's nails were a little long, so he took a pair of delicate scissors and carefully trimmed his nails.
"Your nails grow so fast! I remember it didn't seem like much time had passed since the last time I had them trimmed! Hehe... are you about to wake up?"
His hands were white and slender, with clear bones, and still had that warm and familiar touch.
Feng Shuiqing helped him cut his nails and covered him with a quilt, thinking of "chatting" with him for a while.
"Princess Princess!"
Ling Ao hurried into the room, looking flustered, "The emperor summoned Lord Feng to the palace overnight, saying that the second young master had tampered with the results of the imperial examination!"
…
Golden Dragon Hall.
Xun Rui was so angry that his face was livid. He was confident that the most important thing in the reign of Emperor Da Yao was the entrance examination.
When he learned that Feng Yunzhi had tampered with the climbing results, he was furious and felt even more regretful!
It was clear that Feng Yun had a bright future ahead of him, yet at such a young age he relied on his own talents to learn how to become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
He has always regarded Feng Yunzhi as a key training target of the imperial court. In addition, the Feng family has been loyal and loyal for generations. He originally planned to hand over the position of chief assistant to Feng Lushan when Feng Lushan reaches his age and retire!
Now it seems that he has misplaced his trust!
How dare Feng Yunzhi do such a disappointing thing under his nose!
"Feng Yunzhi! How dare you quibble!"
The sound of Xun Rui's rage echoed through the Golden Dragon Palace.
Feng Yun was upright and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't tamper with the results of the imperial examination! It was Mr. Gu! He was the one who framed Wei Chen!"
"Hey... Junzhi! What happened has come to this, why don't you repent? Before the test paper was unsealed, Lin Ziru's test paper was found from you! It's obvious that you are eager to destroy the evidence!"
Gu Sixian knelt beside Feng Yunzhi. He had reached his destiny now, and his eyes were crisscrossed with ravines. When he said these words, he felt regretful and annoyed, and his face was full of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
It turned out that when Feng Yunzhi woke up after being knocked unconscious just now, he found him lying in the secret pavilion of the Ministry of Officials.
Just as he was about to leave, Gu Sixian rushed into the house with his guards! They also found Lin Ziru's test paper from him!
At the same time, he bit back and framed the crime on him!
What a skill to build a conspiracy trap! Insert the trap and make a trap!
"Junzhi, I usually treat you well, how can you shirk this crime from me? I usually leave the affairs of the staff to you, in order to improve your political skills and help you in the future.
Your father, the Chief Assistant, is sharing the Emperor's worries!"
After finishing speaking, Gu Sixian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, looking like a loving elder.
"Haha..." Feng Yunzhi sneered mockingly, his usually gentle and handsome face was filled with a rare chill, "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have thought that Mr. Gu was so honest and loving! Now it seems that Mr. Gu's acting skills are really good.
That’s right, I deceived the emperor all over the place!”
"Yunzhi! Don't be rude in front of your Majesty!" Feng Lushan spoke angrily, and now he knelt down to His Highness, "I hope your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly! We can't just listen to Gu Sixian's confession. This matter is quite suspicious.
There are many, so we need to investigate carefully!"
"Investigation?" Gu Sixian smiled slyly and struck each other with his palms. Xu Yunzhou, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, crawled in tremblingly.
"Grass people...Grass people see the emperor."
Xun Rui glanced at him sideways, knowing that he was the "number one" this time, but looking at his terrified and cowering look, it was quite dismissive.
"Report to the Emperor." Xu Yunzhou lowered his head so low that he almost buried it in his chest, "When Cao Min was taking the township examination, Feng Yunzhi contacted Cao Min privately. Seeing that Cao Min had great potential, he promised that if Cao Min could give him 10,000
For two pieces of gold, I will give the first prize to the common people!"
"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Feng Yun was extremely contemptuous, "If you gave other reasons, maybe the emperor would still believe it, no?
You think I, a member of the Feng family, would be so miserable despite the mere stink of copper?"
"Huh huh..." Xu Yunzhou had already expected this, so he snorted coldly with a bit of anger.
He took out the banknotes he had prepared earlier in the morning from his pocket and presented them with both hands, "Your Majesty, this ticket is the evidence! Feng Yunzhi was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he ordered the common people to deposit the gold in the banker in the name of "Huailing"."
The eunuch bowed and took the things and presented them to Xun Rui.
Regardless of the style or seal of the bill, it is authentic, and the name is also correct.
Xu Yunzhou secretly noticed the burning anger in the corner of Xun Rui's eyes and continued to fan the flames:
"The common people know that the Chief Minister has always been honest and has no income except official salary. Feng Yun, a mere minister, has an annual salary of less than ten thousand taels of silver. Maybe he is also confused by the smell of copper! This is a real ten thousand.
Two pieces of gold!"
Unable to explain when he saw Feng Yun, Xu Yunzhou became even more sharp-tongued:
"A family as big as the Feng family needs a lot of money just to take care of the housework, not to mention a hundred or so slaves!"
"If the common people remember correctly, the name of the bill is Feng Yun's mother's name. It is known throughout the imperial city that Ning Huailing, the second concubine of the Feng family, is weak and her annual medicine needs more than ten thousand taels! Feng Yun is so greedy.
It’s not enough, it’s possible that the mother is pregnant with yellow and white!”
"Your dirty mouth is not worthy of talking about my mother!" Feng Yunzhi stood up and directly pushed Xu Yunzhou to the ground! He hit hard with an angry fist!
The guard next to him quickly pulled him down with quick eyes and hands, and held his arms behind him so that he could no longer move.
The emperor was still thinking deeply about Xu Yunzhou's words and did not react for the time being.
Fenglushan's heart was also filled with waves at this moment...
He has served the government diligently for many years, is clean and honest, and supports the Feng family with a clean salary from the court.
On weekdays, Feng Mansion's various expenses are indeed like water. In addition, Huailing consults doctors all year round to take medicine, so his salary is only just enough and there is nothing left over.
In recent years, Huailing has grown older and her body has become weaker. She has to frequently ask famous doctors to treat her, not to mention the expensive drugs have to be replaced batch by batch.
Junzhi was a filial and good boy. All his salary was handed over to him, and he could not keep much for himself.
If it is true that he was temporarily blinded by money just to treat his mother's illness, it is indeed a reasonable reason.
But based on his understanding of this second son, his son would never do such a nasty thing!
He is a father! He believes in his son!
Thinking of this, the sound of Fenglu Mountain sounded like a loud bell, and Zhengyi spoke solemnly:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to vouch for Quan Zi! However, since the witnesses and material evidence are all there! I ask the Emperor to take Junzhi to prison first and investigate the matter thoroughly! If it is true that Jun is guilty, I am willing to use my official position to apologize! By then Junzhi will
It’s at your disposal!"
Just hearing what Xu Yunzhou said, Xun Rui felt moved.
It would be understandable if Fang Yunzhi really did this for his mother.
But after all, it involves the country's big plans, so even if there are huge reasons, it shouldn't be done like this.
Fenglushan is also the backbone of the country. He spoke so sincerely and did not use his many years of political achievements to plead for mercy for his son.
It seems that this matter... really needs to be investigated thoroughly!
"Come here, take Feng Yunzhi to prison first! We will make a decision after the matter is investigated clearly! You all should stand down!"
Xun Rui rubbed her swollen temples and gave stern instructions while being supported by her father-in-law to leave the Golden Dragon Palace.
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
Before being escorted by the guards, Feng Lushan stood in front of Feng Yun, with a pair of bright eyes shining with determination, "Yun Zhi, is it you who did this?"
"Father, I don't have a son." Feng Yunzhi was neither humble nor arrogant. He was in a difficult situation but was not in any embarrassment.
"Okay! Dad believes in you! When the matter is investigated clearly, you can go home openly!"
Feng Yunzhi nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
…
Gu Mansion.
Gu Sixian was pacing back and forth in the front hall with his hands behind his hands. At this moment, his heart felt like there were thousands of ants crawling around, and he was itching unbearably!
Those who obviously tampered with the boarding and lifting results will be immediately executed
A capital crime for the head!
It's all the fault of that old guy from Fenglu Mountain!
Pretend to be righteous and stern! Speak in a high-sounding way!
If it is really found out now! How can his head be saved?!
Besides, that coward Xu Yunzhou was also imprisoned!
This little bastard is less courageous than a pinpin. What should we do if we surrender him?
After worrying for a long time, Gu Sixian summoned his confidants, "Keep Xu Yunzhou and his family clean. I must not be implicated in this matter!"
The attendant was hesitant and looked troubled, "Sir, Mr. Xu's mother is your cousin. You..."
"Why don't my cousin still have to die? If they don't die, I will die with them! Stop talking about it! Go quickly!"
