Da Bong fights more people

"Da Lang, you have to go back and talk to them yourself," said the son of the porter Lao Zhang.

Xu Qi'an nodded, waved him away, sat at the table, pondered for a moment, got up and left Yidaotang, intending to go to the Criminal Department, first to find out why the Criminal Department wanted to arrest Xu Erlang.

"It's not that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is deliberately finding fault in order to vent his anger on his niece. If this is the case, it will be easy to solve. Erlang has a reputation, and ordinary trivial matters can't help him

"However, the behavior style of the big bosses in the court, even if they want to vent their anger on their niece, they will not arrest people for no reason.

"So Erlang must have messed with something, but I don't know yet"

Thinking in his heart, he came out of the yard and was about to turn his head to the stable to bring the filly, when he saw Lu Qing, the chief catcher of the government office, hurried into the yard with two fast hands.

"Master Xu."

The two sides met head-on, Lu Qing showed joy, and was replaced by anxiety, and said repeatedly: "The governor asked me to inform you that Xu Huiyuan is in trouble."

"I know, he was taken away not long ago by people from the Ministry of Punishment." Xu Qi'an nodded calmly.

"It seems that the people from the Ministry of Punishment are one step faster." Lu Qing sighed.

"Come here, Butou Lu, I have something to ask."

Xu Qi'an dismissed the idea of ​​going to the stable, and led Lu Qing back to Yidaotang.

Lu Qing took the tea offered by the officials, took a symbolic sip, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty has issued an order to investigate Xu Huiyuan's imperial examination fraud."

The word "fraud in the imperial examination" made Xu Qi'an's eyebrows twitch.

I did give Erlang the song "The Road Is Difficult" to him, but does this count as cheating in the imperial examination?I bet on the exam questions. The imperial court does not support this kind of betting, but it has never banned it. There is often a custom of betting on questions in the Confucianism. Strictly speaking, it is not considered cheating. The question itself is not cheating.

Xu Qi'an smelled the breath of conspiracy, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to investigate?"

Lu Qing glanced at the officials in the hall, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, Master Xu, don't speculate."

"It was me who made a blunder."

But this is very important. If Emperor Yuan Jing wanted to engage Erlang, it would be difficult to deal with it. Erlang's future was almost ruined.The goods are from the emperor's house, if the emperor's house doesn't want it, the scholars will waste it. Xu Qi said with peace of mind.

"Thank you Catcher Lu for reminding me, I am in a hurry to deal with this matter, so it is inconvenient to keep you."

"Master Xu, give me a ride." Lu Qing pointed out.

The two left Yidaotang and walked out of the mansion side by side. Lu Qing lowered his voice and said:

"Master Xu, it's best to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once he is in the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he will be manipulated by others. It's too late, and I'm afraid everything will be recruited. That's all for now."

Lu Qing practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has worked in the government office for many years. He has seen many similar cases and knows all about the tricks in officialdom.

After sending Lu Qing away, Xu Qi'an turned his head and entered the Haoqi Building, asking Wei Yuan for help.

His intuition told him that this matter was not that simple. He was inexperienced and not well-ranked due to the intrigue in the officialdom, and his rank was not high enough. Fortunately, he had a big thick leg to hug.

After entering Haoqi Building, in the tea room, Xu Qi'an told Wei Yuan about the matter, and asked for help: "Please teach me, Mr. Wei."

Holding the teacup, Wei Yuan pondered, "I haven't received any notification from the palace, which means that His Majesty doesn't want me to know, at least not right away."

Xu Qi'an's expression changed: "Your Majesty wants to mess with me?"

"How vulgar is this word." Wei Yuan said in disgust, then shook his head: "You brothers of the Xu family are not qualified to let His Majesty go off in person, you should be impeached.

"As for the purpose, first of all, according to the examples of previous imperial examination fraud cases, since it is fraud, there must be an examiner leaking the questions. The three chief examiners in Chunwei this time are Zhao Tingfang from Dongge University, Liu Hong from Youdu Yushi, and Wu Ying. Dian University scholar Qian Qingshu. Ignore the rest of the small miscellaneous fish for the time being.

"Among the three examiners who may leak the questions, Qian Qingshu is excluded first."

Xu Qi'an frowned: "Why?"

Wei Yuan replied: "The impeachment memorial must go through the cabinet first. The cabinet is Wang Zhenwen's domain, and Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's. Do you understand?"

Wang Shoufu didn't type back the memorial, which means that this matter has nothing to do with Qian Qingshu Xu Qi'an nodded: "Understood."

Wei Yuan continued: "Secondly, your cousin Xu Nian is a member of Yunlu Academy. Although there are many factions in the court, it is a tacit understanding among all civil officials to jointly suppress the scholars of Yunlu Academy. This is the tacit understanding of this time. The main reason for imperial examination fraud.”

"Didn't the great scholars of Yunlu Academy remind me?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

"Encountering oppression is inevitable, but not necessarily on the grounds of cheating in the imperial examinations. Even if Xu Xinian wins the first prize, he can still be swept away to the corner. There are no fixed methods, and there are too many methods. How to guard against it?" Wei Yuan shook his head.

"Finally, Xu Nian is your cousin, and you are my confidant. Will you ask me for help when you encounter important matters related to your future? If I don't answer, there will be a rift between us. If I answer, follow-up The trick is coming." Wei Yuan sneered and said:

"Our Majesty is happy to see me fighting with the civil servants, so the news from the palace has not been spread."

Kill two birds with one stone No, if there is still the examiner who leaked the questions, the person behind it will kill three birds with one stone.As for Erlang, involved in the imperial examination fraud case, there are no more than three endings: First, the evidence is solid, exile or beheaded.Second, the evidence is solid, but the crime is relatively light, and the meritorious service will be dismissed, and he will not be hired for life.Three, after the investigation, he was not guilty, but he missed the palace examination and his reputation was ruined.

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, his head was as big as a bucket.

Scholars are really disgusting. If there is any conflict, let's draw our swords and fight it out. It's so straightforward.

All these furtive and insidious tricks.

"Wei Gong, what should I do?" Xu Qi'an humbly asked for advice, and he was full of confidence in solving the case.When it comes to official battles, he is a silver bullet facing a group of kings.

Fortunately, there is also a big boss at the peak of the king behind me.

"I can end, but in this way, Xu New Year will be mine, and the label on him will never be washed off." Wei Yuan looked at him warmly while drinking tea.

This matter is very troublesome. Even if Wei Gong takes action to help Erlang escape, I am afraid it will hurt his muscles and bones. After all, the opposite party is not a party, and it may be a tacit understanding between multiple parties.

Moreover, if Erlang becomes an eunuch like me, it would be better for him to leave his hometown and leave the capital

Xu Qi'an frowned, sat quietly for a long time, and said in a shy voice: "Wei Gong, is there any other way?"

"Have!"

Xu Qi'an was both pleasantly surprised and surprised by this answer.

But Wei Yuan changed the subject, shook his head and said, "But you can't do it."

ps: Correct me, the big guy "seanghot" rewarded 23, not 19. I made a mistake in the last chapter.

In addition, I have encountered some bad things recently. I didn't sleep all night last night. After sleeping for four hours during the day, I got up to type.Then I was not in the mood to code.

Fortunately, it was the weekend, otherwise I was really afraid that I would die suddenly.Just an update today, hey.

Don't worry, the words owed today will be made up tomorrow, and what you say is what you say.

By the way, this case was inspired by Tang Yin's imperial examination fraud case, so it's not a fabrication.I have checked a lot of information on imperial examination fraud, and there is conclusive evidence, but there are also many cases where there is no evidence, but their lives have been ruined.

Get a vaccination first, lest some readers think it is unreasonable.
