Zhao Jin rubbed the rim of the cup, and the fragrance of the fine Longjing tea still lingered in his mouth.
"Of course I know you were framed, but I don't know if you know who framed you."
Juzi shook his head and said, "That night I was reviewing my lessons. Suddenly a gust of wind blew out the candle. When I lit the lamp again, I saw this thing. Everything the villain said is true. I hope His Highness the Prince can still be young.
People are innocent."
King Ning took advantage of the victory and pursued him, "If you tell me, I will let you go. If you tell lies, don't blame me and give you a death sentence."
The scholar had already been filled with fear. Now that he heard that he could be let go, he couldn't wait to speak out.
"That day, a friend who was taking the scientific examination with me pulled me into his room and showed me the test questions on the scroll. I don't want to commit such a crime, but I took advantage of it.
It’s a big mistake, but he deserves to die, so I hope~”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Jin.
"I don't have that much time to listen to you talk nonsense. I want to know who the person behind this is."
The scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly remembered something and was extremely excited.
"Although he didn't tell me who leaked the scientific examination questions to him, I know that he gave the examiner a deer antler that is said to take a hundred years to produce."
This was indeed a big clue for them. Immediately, Zhao Jin ordered Captain Heijia to arrest these examiners and search the mansion.
Not long after, deer antlers were found from the house of an examiner named Zhu.
Zhao Jin's eyes were obscure and dark, and no one could understand what he was thinking.
"Master Zhu, this deer antler was found from your house. What do you want to say?"
This Zhu Da was a fourth-grade civil servant and had always been a loyal person in the court. However, no one appreciated his ambition. Such a clean-blooded person would never do something so contrary to his conscience, not to mention the fact that he used it in private.
The salary was enough to build a school and recruit scholars from the Han tribe to study. It can be said that the whole family has little value except pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I am afraid that even mice will starve to death in his house.
Master Zhu laughed heartily. He was not afraid at all, but the sharpness all over his body made even Zhao Jin flinch away.
"I have been an official for forty years, and I have never been left alone to discuss matters in the palace. Now I have finally come, but it is me who wants my life. In that case, I will give it to you. It's just your highness. The power of a large family is overwhelming.
, is ultimately a disaster.”
His temples were gray, and the clothes in his court uniform were all shabby, but he stood upright and proudly, looking at Zhao Jin who was standing on the steps of the palace without fear.
Zhao Jin was greatly amazed. This Master Zhu came from a poor family. He never thought that he would have such foresight and he would definitely be a useful talent in the future.
He quickly walked down the steps of the palace and saluted with clasped fists in a humble and courteous manner, "Master Zhu is a clear stream in the middle of the court. I appreciate your uprightness and perspective. It's good to stay with me."
Master Zhu did not expect that things would turn out like this. He was so surprised that he could not utter a single word for a long time. He finally realized it when he saw Zhao Jin still saluting him.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "You can't do that, Your Highness, how can you, with such a noble body, worship me? It's really embarrassing me."
When King Ning saw this scene, he already knew what Zhao Jin was thinking. He admired him even more now. He took all the useful people in the world under his command. He even had Liu Bei's demeanor of visiting the thatched cottage, and he showed no sign of condescension.
Mr. Zhu has been neglected for thirty years, and now someone is finally going to take advantage of him. His ambition will be put into practice, and naturally he will work more wholeheartedly for Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin said humbly and politely, "Master Zhu, since someone is deliberately trying to frame you, we naturally can't just sit back and wait for death. We need you to play a show with them."
Prince Ning was speechless, and after a long while he said, "Although I know that Mr. Zhu is a good official, there is no telling if he has already changed in the political arena, or has surrendered to the enemy and treason. You are just too impatient."
Zhao Jin knew it and asked, "Oh, why did you say this?"
He rolled his eyes at Ning Dynasty. I'm afraid the actors in the brothel are not as good at acting as he is.
He walked to Zhao Jin's desk and leaned over, his eyes firm.
Staring at Zhao Jin resolutely, neither of them looked away for a moment. In the end, King Ning was defeated.
"How could I not know your ambition? It's just that you can't rush on this road. There are too many people eyeing that position."
Zhao Jin did not continue his topic with him, but just handed the deer antler to Prince Ning.
This deer antler seems to be a little different from the ordinary ones, but what does this mean? How can there be two identical grasses in the world?
Zhao Jin knew that he couldn't recognize it either, so he snatched the antler back and put it in the box.
"Deer antler is a precious medicinal material. No matter which country it is in, there is a ban on picking it without permission. Moreover, these medicinal materials are presented to the palace as tribute. The emperor usually rewards velvet antler to those who have meritorious service. The implication is that only wealthy people can have it. But this is exactly the case.
The most ingenious thing is that recently, my father rewarded deer antlers to poor families with military exploits, and now these people are the new nobles of the imperial court."
Prince Ning seemed to understand, but what does this have to do with this case?
Zhao Jin continued, "I have said that the conflict between the Han clan and the aristocratic family has been going on for a long time. This time, my father was forced to promote the Han clan as a new noble, which affected the interests of the aristocratic family. Of course they can't sit still."
Prince Ning nodded, "I guessed it too, but how can we punish those clan members without evidence."
"I had a battle with Prince Wei before. Prince Wei abandoned his car and fled. Among the things seized were this kind of velvet antlers. And the scholar also said that this kind of deer antlers is rare to see in a hundred years. There is such a treasure in the Kunlun Mountains of Wei State.
, the things are few and precious, so naturally no one will recognize them. However, this kind of deer antlers has a strange fragrance."
Prince Ning said bitterly, "There are people who collaborate with the enemy and treason under the emperor's feet. He really deserves to die."
Zhao Jin smiled lightly, full of determination to win.
"The show is about to begin. Let's watch and wait."
Qin family.
Qin Xiaowen sighed and muttered, "Dad, this plan is perfect and will never be discovered. What are you worried about?"
Mr. Qin always felt that he had a bad premonition. If according to the usual rules, since the evidence has come out, it would be time to arrest people and investigate the house. But why could Mr. Wang walk out of the palace unharmed? Could there be some clues?
.
He angrily yelled at his son, "You bastard. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day. Does he have any ambition at all?"
Qin Xiaowen argued in a low voice, "Dad is a first-class official in our dynasty, so I can just wait for the secret seal. The scientific examinations are for those low-income children who don't belong to the upper class. It is common for aristocratic families to stand for hundreds of years. When will it be my turn to go to the battlefield?"
