"Sir, we really don't know! This matter is so obvious, we can't possibly make such a low-level mistake." Master Sun said, "It's so obvious, are we waiting to be exposed?"
"Is it obvious?" He Yunxi snorted coldly, "If I hadn't stopped you in time, Commander Feng and the others came in time to take a look at the test papers. As soon as you left, the test papers were destroyed. Who can tell clearly? If you were an ordinary person, you were here.
Will everyone in the world be standing here at this moment? If my husband and I are really just poor scholars with no background, will what we have suffered have ever seen the light of day again?"
Cui Heng and others were silent.
What He Yunxi said is absolutely correct. If He Yunxi had not been identified, Lu Yan would have been arrested at this moment, and what awaited him would be the fate of being stripped of his honor. Not to mention restoring his grades, he would never want to take part in the imperial examination in the future.
She looked at Feng Yushan. Feng Yushan felt guilty and did not dare to look at her.
Cui Heng also felt emotional.
If the person who came to see him today was just a common man, he would most likely not bring anyone to Gongyuan.
If it weren't for her status and direct access to Tianting, Feng Yushan would not have agreed to check the results.
If Jingjiu hadn't come over with the emperor's token and held down the three invigilators who were about to leave, it would have been impossible to check.
Therefore, if the person who was mistaken was a civilian, the result today would be completely different.
"So, it's not that this matter is obvious, but that you were sure before that we were ordinary people. Even if we change, it doesn't matter. There won't be any trouble." He Yunxi exposed their thoughts.
"Mr. Chang'an County, you have no evidence and cannot slander us!" Mr. Liu defended.
"Every passing day leaves traces and a passing goose leaves a sound. As long as you do something, I will always find out." He Yunxi said.
"Then please ask the princess to find evidence and then convict us." Lord Sun said.
"Isn't it what we are best at looking for evidence? Mr. Sun, if you leave this matter to us, you will be satisfied."
A voice came from outside the courtyard, and then a row of people wearing Feiyu suits came in from the outside, standing in two rows, and then Wu Qi walked in from behind.
When they saw the person coming, Master Liu and Master Sun's faces instantly turned pale.
"Commander Wu? Why are you here?"
"I happened to have a mission. I heard that there was fraud in the imperial examination here, so I came here." Wu Qi walked up to He Yunxi and saluted: "Mr. Chang'an County, I was ordered to take over this case. I will leave the rest to you.
Let me."
He Yunxi looked at Wu Qi, wondering who he was.
Lu Yan whispered to her Wu Qi's identity.
Commander of the Imperial Guard?
Why is he here?
I was ordered to take this case, whose order was it?
He Yunxi thought about it again and understood. The commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, apart from the things that the emperor could use, the only thing left that the emperor's mother could use was the emperor's mother.
Thinking that the concubine had asked Wu Qi to come over as soon as she arrived here, she showed a smile: "Commander Wu, I will trouble you about the rest."
"Don't worry, Lord Chang'an County. As long as you enter the guardhouse of my Jinyi Guards, there will be nothing you can't pry open. This matter will soon come to light." Wu Qi promised.
He Yunxi was relieved. Whether it was the ancient Jin Yiwei or the Jin Yiwei in this country, they were extraordinary existences. The cry of children was not an exaggeration at all.
With him taking over, he could find out all the eighteen generations of the Wen family's ancestors. Even if he had dinner and drank a few glasses of wine with Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu, he could find out for him.
She looked at Cui Lei and Feng Yushan: "Master Cui, Master Feng, whether these two adults do it unintentionally or intentionally, my husband-in-law has no objection to this achievement, right? Then can you clear our names?"
"Yes, this is our mistake. We will repost the red list immediately." Cui Lei said, "Bring me the red cloth and pen and ink, and I will write it myself."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Cui." He Yunxi said, "If there's nothing else, let's go back first? Mr. Cui, what about you?"
Mr. Cui in the back is called Cui Heng. We came together. Do you want to go together?
Cui Heng didn't want to deal with Jin Yiwei, nor did he want to interfere with the imperial examination. When He Yunxi asked, he naturally followed her.
Once outside the door, Cui Heng said goodbye. He Yunxi and Lu Yan got into the carriage, while Mo Xin and Fufeng drove the carriage outside.
The two wives looked at He Yunxi and digested the fact that she was the head of Chang'an County.
He Yunxi apologized to the two masters: "I'm sorry, master, we didn't mean to hide it from you."
"We understand." Xiang Hongyu said, "If you didn't want to hide it, your identity would have been exposed to the world. Although we don't know the reason, we understand."
Even the emperor helped hide it, how could they not understand?
Moreover, the magistrate of Chang'an County was highly praised by scholars like her for her righteousness. They praised the magistrate of Chang'an County more than once and lamented that she was not inferior to other women.
Knowing that this person was He Yunxi, they just couldn't digest it for a while.
Xiang Hongyu even scratched his beard and exclaimed: "I have eaten so much food cooked by the Lord of Chang'an County, is this considered treason?"
"Pfft--" He Yunxi was amused, and then said: "My master is my husband's wife, that is, our elder, and we should respect our elders."
"Then I will be shameless and become your elder." Xiang Hongyu really couldn't bear to part with the snacks that He Yunxi usually paid filial piety to. Besides, he has always paid attention to respecting teachers, so it is correct to say that he is Lu Yan's elder.
Wang Wenbin is not as open-minded as Xiang Hongyu. He is not Lu Yan's wife, so he can't get his turn. But He Yunxi and Lu Yan still remember his friendship in stepping forward after knowing that Lu Yan failed the exam today. In the future
Have great respect for him.
He Yunxi sent Lu Yan and the others to the teahouse and then went back. They didn't know how late it would be before they got home today. It was hard for her to stay as a woman. Moreover, she had to go back to thank the concubine.
In the private room of the tea house, the students from Qingfeng College were relieved to see the three people returning.
"Master, how are you?" Yu Shaoyu asked.
"The matter has been clarified, and the red list will be posted again shortly. We just have to wait," Wang Wenbin said.
"Is Brother Lu the top one?"
"yes."
"I knew that Brother Lu would definitely be at the top of the list!"
"Brother Lu is so awesome!"
"Fortunately you asked, otherwise Brother Lu would have failed the exam this time."
The students did not ask what happened, and Xiang Hongyu and the others did not mention He Yunxi's identity. They all discussed waiting for the red list to come out and going to the best restaurant here to celebrate tonight.
After a while, the gate of Gongyuan opened again, and two people beat the gong, attracting all the people nearby.
