Chapter 418
Chapter 418
After spending a year and a half to make Jinxing blossom all over the country, cultivating talents and an impermeable communication network, Xiao Nan was setting off from Tongzhou and planning to go to Xuanzhou.
At this time, the capital was in the middle of the examination, and students from all over the country worked hard because of the imperial court's great imperial examination, and entered the capital to take the exam after the middle examination.
However, on the third day after the end of the
examination, Jiang Wu in the court heard Yao Zhang's little emperor: "Your Majesty, a total of 15 people who participated in the examination this year beat the Dengwen drum together, and they are waiting at the palace gate at the moment, waiting to be summoned.
Jiang Wu fanned her eyelashes, raised her drooping eyes, and swept over everyone in the hall with an expressionless face.
The courtiers were a little indifferent, and Fan Wenjin, who was the chief examiner this year, lowered his head and clenched the jade slip in his hand.
Jiang Wu snorted lightly in her heart: In the second year of the Daxing Imperial Examination, can't you sit still?
"Let them in!" The little emperor said.
When these fifteen people were carried up to the main hall, the little emperor looked at the bloody ones one after another, frowned and stood up from the dragon chair: "What's going on?"
Yao Zhang replied: "Your Majesty, all those who beat the drum, no matter what the grievances, must first be punished before they can face the saint." The
little emperor's eyes turned to Jiang Wu: "Sister Huang, what kind of rules are these?" Do people who have grievances have to be beaten first? Why not punish the wrong person after the fact?
Huo Xuanhengyu: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Dengwen drum has been established for more than 1,000 years, if you don't set up rules in front, wouldn't anyone just knock on it if they want to, then wouldn't this court be trying those trivial things every day." The
little emperor turned his head and glared at Huo Xuanheng: "Huo Qing doesn't have a long memory at all, he doesn't give gifts to people's hearts, and he doesn't distinguish who is with whom!"
Huo Xuanheng was frightened by the little emperor's sudden eyes, after more than a year of hard work, he felt that the little emperor was not the same as before.
The child, who was about to be ten years old, looked very small when he sat on the dragon chair, and his eyes and tone were already so lethal.
Jiang Wu got up and stretched out her hand to pull the little emperor's wrist and sat back on the dragon chair: "Shan'er is not angry, Lord Huo can't help but say the etiquette of Dengwen Drum, which shows that he also attaches great importance to this matter." Let's take a look at what's going on. "
Hu Xiaotian, grass people, knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the eldest princess." A group of people behind Hu Xiaotian followed and bowed.
Because the injuries were not light, everyone couldn't straighten their waists.
"Whatever you have wronged, tell me."
"Your Majesty, the grass people and these people behind them are representatives of students from various states, and we sue the chief examiner, Fan Wen, to enter the examination room to shield students for favoritism. Framed and disregarded human life.
As soon as these words came out, the voices in the court were noisy, and Huo Xuanheng slightly turned his head and glanced at Fan Wenjin behind him.
The latter immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, these chaotic people have lost their manners in front of the palace and do not follow the etiquette law, please Your Majesty not believe the nonsense of these chaotic ministers and thieves!"
After that, he walked to Hu Xiaotian's side, and the jade slip in his hand pointed at him:
"Your Majesty doesn't know, this person's father was the Taishou of Xuanzhou, and he committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason when he was in office.
In this way, he still has the face to frame his own official, presumably because he doesn't know that slandering court officials is a serious crime that implicates the whole family!
He is a single person, and he is a criminal of the court, what about you!
Fan Wenjin's jade slip swept over the students.
I saw a look of panic on that immature face that satisfied me.
Jiang Wu didn't say a word and watched him perform.
"Your Majesty, eldest princess, Hu Xiaotian is the son of a sinner, why did he sneak into the examination room? How can such a man believe what he says?
Another official behind Huo Xuanheng stepped forward.
Then, a few more came out among the ministers: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" The
little emperor's eyes were clear and a little cunning, he touched the dragon head on the chair, and suddenly asked: "Taifu, what do you think." "
Since the imperial sister reminded him to be careful of Wen Jin and Taifu, he has planted doubts in his heart, and he has an extra eye for everything. After that, he felt that in fact, Wenjin was not so essential.
Jiang Wu's gaze fell on Mrs. Wen.
The questions for this exam were written by him.
Since Xiao Nan's letter, she has begun to secretly observe this Taifu, everything is not leaky, how can there be such a perfect person in this world?
Mrs. Wen: "Your Majesty, according to the old ministers, these students are the foundation of the country and the future of the country. Since these students have beaten the drum, they should thoroughly investigate what they have said, and as for the rest, it is not too late to pursue them after the case is concluded. The
little emperor nodded: "What Taifu said is reasonable, then the three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be interrogated to find out the truth as soon as possible." Retreat. After
the next court, Fan Wenjin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Lord Huo, Lord Huo, please stay."
Huo Xuanheng stood impatiently, and Fan Wenjin was anxious: "Lord Huo saves the lower official." I can't have an accident!
"What are you panicking about! The Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, one is in my hands and the other is in the hands of Qi Jian, and even the Criminal Department has our people, as long as you are not stupid enough to leave important clues, this case will not be able to turn the sky over.
"Of course there were no clues." Fan Wenjin thought about it roughly, those who got the answer were all children of the family, and among them were the sons of Master Huo, presumably, it was safe.
He bowed respectfully: "Yes." In
less than a day, the case was decided, and the chief examiner, Pham Van Jin, wrote a confession after returning home, and he did everything alone, and then committed suicide in fear of sin.
In the confession, he confessed to what Hu Xiaotian had told him, and also wrote a list of students he had given answers.
After the second day, Jiang Wu sat in the hall and looked at the list in her hand: "Have these people checked it?"
"They are all children of some declining families in the capital, three of them admitted that they had received the answers to this examination, six of them claimed to have been wronged at first, and five of them also pleaded guilty and were detained after the heavy sentences of the Criminal Department. Only one has not pleaded guilty. "Standing at the bottom is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a nail that Jiang Wu planted on Qi Jian's side.
Jiang Wu's gaze fell on the list, above the name Li Zheng.
This is the person chosen by Jiang Wu.
"Master Huo went to the Criminal Department last night, and he was urging him to close the case quickly, and said that Hu Xiaotian was the son of a sinner and should be beheaded together. Your Highness, now the list given by Fan Wenjin is somewhat different from the list of fraudsters identified by Hu Xiaotian. In
the list identified by Hu Xiaotian, Huo Xuanheng's son is also among them.
"You follow the process of closing the case according to his wishes, Huo Xuanheng's side, this palace has its own way. In addition, Hu Xiaotian's father's case should be taken out and turned over! That
night, Jiang Wu sent two people, one pretending to be a chicken foot god, and the other pretending to be Fan Wenjin to go to Huo Xuanheng's bedroom.
Huo Xuanheng was frightened and told the truth:
"The question of this exam was given by Wen Jin, and it was her idea to kill you.
'Fan Wenjin': "Just kill me, why do you want to bite other students indiscriminately?"
"Taifu has read most of the answer papers, Wen Jin selected the best among them, I have privately looked for them, if you are willing to use them for me, you will stay, if you don't want to, I have to find a way to get rid of them, the eldest princess's recent actions seem to be to take the power back into her own hands, I can't help but plan for the future!"
At this time, the door of Huo Xuanheng's dormitory creaked open, and the entire courtyard was lit with torches, which were brightly lit.
He was taken out by the 'Chicken Foot God' and 'Fan Wenjin' on the left and right, and thrown at the feet of Jiang Wu in the courtyard.
Huo Xuanheng saw that Jiang Wu was standing beside the envoy of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the servant of the Criminal Department, and the Dali Siqing, at this moment, he still didn't understand something.
"Jiang Wu, you dare to trick me!?"
When the words fell, Huo Xuanheng's back was stressed, and it hurt him┗|'O′|┛ Whoo~~ threw himself on the ground.
"Dog officer! Dare to call His Highness by name.
Huo Xuanheng prostrate at Jiang Xuanheng's feet, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the pair of cold and contemptuous eyes: "Master Huo's statement just now was heard clearly by the people in the courtyard. What else do you have to say?
Huo Xuanheng raised his head and swept around, and his gaze fell on his tied wife.
The woman cried pear blossoms with rain, bit her lip and shook her head at him, and sobbed: "Master! "
Everything is done by me alone, and everyone in the house knows nothing, Your Highness, leave my wife and children alive!" With that, Huo Xuanheng got up, grabbed the knife of a guard next to him, and raised his hand to wipe it on his neck.
The 'Chicken Foot God' was quick-eyed, threw the iron chain in his hand, and rolled the knife in Huo Xuanheng's hand down with a few clicks.
"Do you want to die if you don't explain clearly? No way! "
Take it down and give it to Feng Yi!" Jiang Wu commanded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as witnesses, in a later period, General Feng may summon you!"
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of several adults: "It should be so." "
The eldest princess's means are becoming more and more limitless, and she can even think of such a trick as pretending to be a ghost.
As a model for the people of the world, Mrs. Wen had a great impact on this case.
Many unwitting people shouted for him and demanded a retrial of the case.
During the interrogation of Huo Xuanheng, it was learned that it was he who colluded with Fan Da and Wu Youtian to hide the evidence of collaborating with the enemy in the mansion of the former Xuanzhou Taishou, and it was he who found a killer, killed their family, and blamed Jiang Wu, so that the officials in Xuanzhou were dead to the superiors.
Coupled with the confessions of Shiyuan and Xiao He, it was confirmed that Huo Xuanheng was the mastermind behind the Xuanzhou case.
In the end, on the fifteenth day of the month, Jiang Wu took the Qihui exam, and she personally invigilated the exam, and on the day the results came out, she ordered the Wen family to be exiled to the border city, and the rest of the officials who were involved in the border were dismissed, and the house was raided, and the capital crime was a capital crime.
On the day of the palace test, Hu Xiaotian was appointed as the champion with outstanding performance, and the little emperor immediately ordered Hu Xiaotian to be appointed as the Taishou of Xuanzhou, and immediately set off for his post.
As soon as Huo Xuanheng, his henchmen and Taifu Wen fell, the people in the court were panicked, and the states were ready to move.
"Your Highness, the gold ornaments from the gold bank have been delivered, have you seen it now? In addition, Mo Yu's mother handed over a post and wanted to enter the palace to see you. Li Chong held the brocade box and the prayer post.
Jiang Wu stretched out her hand, and the brocade box fell into her hand.
She ignored the gold ornaments and took out the letter in the dark compartment and opened it.
Sister-in-law:
Did you miss me?
I miss you so much anyway!
I have helped Mo Yu get the letters between Tongzhou Taishou and neighboring countries, this stupid thing actually wants to use the military strength of other countries to plan your country, and privately promised to cut Tongzhou out, which lured the wolf into the house and the dog had to shake his head when he saw it.
In addition, I have some good rice seeds, looking at the states, only the climate in Xuanzhou is suitable, and the rice can be planted for two seasons, so I will go to Xuanzhou and do my best to build you the largest granary.
By the way, the Yellow River floods are frequent, and the matter of repairing the dam should not be delayed, and the gold ornaments given to you this time are my private seals, with this seal, the branches of gold banks everywhere can obtain cash, and your horses are so rich, so much silver, you can spend how you want.
The last thing is the most important, and I only recently learned that the border city guard turned out to be the illegitimate son of Taifu Wen!
Sister-in-law, every day when I open my eyes, I feel that I am one step closer to you.
May all be well, you and I will always think about it!
Jiang Wu put down the letter paper, and then picked up the gold ornament, it was indeed a seal letter, with the word south wind engraved on it.
The time the two have been together for much longer than the days they have been apart, and Jiang Wu has been thinking about him every day.
The hairpin sent by Xiao Nan on the dresser accompanied her to sleep every night.
It's just the matter of exiled the Taifu family to the border city...
"Li Chong, you went back to Mo Yu's mother, and said that the palace she wanted to talk about knew everything, and this was what their Mo family deserved, so let the sword man come over to see the palace."
Mo Yu was sent to Tongzhou by Jiang Wu for more than a year after his studies, and his performance was quite good.
The Mo family may be able to succeed Huo Xuanheng and truly become His Majesty's right-hand man.
"Yes!"
After Li Chong left, the hall was quiet, and Jiang Wu recalled the scene when she met the Ten King Kongs in Xuanzhou.
At that time, they laughed at her for being too immature, but now that they think about it, maybe they laughed at her because she mistakenly thought that the mastermind behind Xuanzhou was Qi Jian.
With Huo Xuanheng's strength, I'm afraid that if you don't move the top ten King Kongs, then there is only Taifu Wen!
According to Huo Xuanheng's confession, the news that Qi Jian brought back back that year was the news he wanted Qi Jian to see, so Qi Jian said that the score was not false at that time.
For some reason, Jiang Wu thought that Taifu Wen had been hidden for decades, and now he was exiled to the border city, Jiang Wu felt a little uneasy in her heart.
The Knife Man came quickly.
Jiang Wu: "How did you find the person you were looking for?" "
Returning to Your Highness, my subordinates already have a direction, but... But the descendants of Lord Wu are very likely to become eunuchs.
Jiang Wu always remembered that she had promised the Wu family to take her out, although this matter was not completed in the end because of the Wu family, but she always kept it in her heart, and she asked someone to look for it since she returned to the palace.
Daoyi's kid will also come with a letter every month, either looking for someone or on the way to find someone.
Jiang Wu secretly sent a knife battle to protect Nanfeng, the boss of the gold bank, so Dao Yi was adrift for more than a year, which should be regarded as a punishment for him.
