Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 154 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (25)

Seeing that things were not going well, Shi Jianye ran away, but was also invited back by Qingfeng.

"Master Shi, the pier is so lively every night because you are doing business here. Unfortunately, someone has reported you. Please come with us."

People from Jingzhao Prefecture and Ning'an Marquis' Mansion were dispatched, and Shi Jianye had no chance to escape. He was tied up like a chicken and sent to the Heavenly Prison in a carriage.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture had just finished supervising the examination hall during the day, and now he had to interrogate the prisoners back in the prefecture. He was very angry, especially when he saw Shi Jianye, he just shook his head and sighed.

"You are truly foolish. You knew that the imperial court was strictly controlling weapons and salt, yet you still dared to smuggle them. The emperor already knows about this. You are truly destroying your own future."

Shi Jianye's face darkened. He didn't understand why his luck was so bad. There had never been any problems in the past, but this time things were not so smooth and he was even caught.

All the goods were confiscated and he didn't even get the money.

"I was just wandering around the docks. You've got the wrong guy."

Shi Jianye gritted his teeth, unwilling to admit it, and just laughed it off.

The Jingzhao prefect twitched his lips, "Master Shi, do I look like a fool?

If you want to defend yourself, you should answer this question properly. After all, it will be sent to the emperor and he will be asked to take a look.

As for whether you are innocent, only the Emperor can decide. If you plead guilty, perhaps I can help you. It's a pity that you are too stubborn."

Shi Jianye gritted his teeth and said, "Go and ask Ning An Hou and Xiao Yao Wang to come over. If they don't come, I will definitely not sign."

The prefect of Jingzhao was speechless and told him the truth.

"The Marquis's wife has no relationship with the Shi family anymore. How can the Marquis be considered your son-in-law? As for King Xiaoyao, he has already said that this matter has nothing to do with him and he will not intervene."

Although this matter was related to King Xiaoyao, King Xiaoyao did not participate in it from beginning to end.

As long as King Xiaoyao is unwilling to admit it, it has nothing to do with him.

Shi Jianye realized belatedly that he had boarded a pirate ship, and at this moment he was helpless and could do nothing.

The prefect of Jingzhao was also a black-hearted man who knew how to hurt people's hearts. He sighed deeply and said as he came over.

"Sir, how could you be so foolish? If you had persisted, you might have even reached the position of Minister. I heard that the Emperor was planning to promote you, but you..."

When Shi Jianye heard this, he was so angry that he fainted.

When Shi Luoyi learned that Shi Jianye had been captured, she was very anxious. She immediately sent people to invite King Xiaoyao, but there was no trace of King Xiaoyao.

After asking around, he finally met King Xiaoyao and... the woman he kept in his inner chamber.

King Xiaoyao got drunk and rested in a villa in the capital. The woman who served him was the same woman who played the piano and sang in Wangjiang Tower that day.

She still looked pitiful, but she was wearing a new dress made of expensive materials, which made her skin look as white as snow.

Shi Luoyi scolded Yue Niang in a rage, and then ordered the people around him to teach Yue Niang a lesson. However, the servants of King Xiaoyao appeared at the right time and saved Yue Niang.

"Princess, Yue Niang is now the apple of the prince's eye. Please don't hurt her, or you won't be able to report to the prince.

Besides, the prince has already decided to make this girl a concubine, to serve the prince together with the queen."

Shi Luoyi was finally worried that King Xiaoyao would bring him to justice, so he had to give up. However, he hated Yue Niang with his eyes and even threatened her that if she wanted to enter the palace, she would have to die.

She left with an angry look on her face. She thought she had won the favor of King Xiaoyao, but in the end she lost to King Xiaoyao's fickleness.

That night, Shi Luoyi couldn't sleep day and night. She worked hard for King Xiaoyao, hoping that he would sit on the throne. However, King Xiaoyao was obsessed with beauty, and her position was in jeopardy overnight.

The next day, the news that the Minister of Rites was smuggling and selling salt and cold weapons spread throughout the capital.

Emperor Mingde invited several ministers to the palace to discuss how to resolve the matter. Whether Shi Jianye should be executed directly or how to deal with him was still under discussion.

The ministers stayed in the palace for half a day, and finally Emperor Mingde issued an edict that Shi Jianye De was unworthy of his position and was fined one year's salary for secretly smuggling, and was dismissed from his official position and was not allowed to serve in the government from then on.

This also saved Shi Jianye from the death penalty, but made Shi Jianye's life worse than death the day he walked out of the prison.

The sunlight shone directly on his body, but Shi Jianye still felt extremely cold.

He spent most of his life striving for an official position, and when he was finally getting on the right track, he never expected that his crime would be exposed.

Emperor Mingde actually dismissed him from his position as minister, and he had no chance to appeal. He knew better than anyone that the emperor was showing mercy to him. If an ordinary person did such a thing, he would probably be sentenced to death.

There was no one around to help him, and his two children were now separated from their family. Shi Jianye didn't know where he had gone wrong to end up in this situation. He was so angry that he fainted at the door of the prison.

On the day when Shi Jianye left Tianlao, all the results in the Imperial Examination Hall were announced. This day was the day when the results of the autumn examination were announced.

Everyone was waiting at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall for the results to be announced, and Shi Qing was no exception. She and Xuanyuan Heng waited at the gate for a long time, waiting for the results to be announced.

Finally, a group of officers and soldiers came out and posted an imperial edict outside the Imperial Examination Hall. The imperial edict was very large and was filled with names, including the second and third place winners, the Juren, the Xiucai and the Zhuangyuan.

Everyone stared at the imperial edict, almost with eager anticipation. After all, this imperial edict contained the outcome of many people's ten years of hard study, and their fate might be reversed today.

Shi Qing glanced at the yellow list with many names written on it, and she said softly.

"How did Yun'er do on the exam?"

Xuanyuan Heng seemed to be thinking, "He is as smart as you, at least smarter than the third place winner."

Shi Qing also agreed that since he was the child he had taught personally, he would not be too bad after all.

The people around looked at the two of them curiously. They originally wanted to mock them for overthinking, but they actually recognized Xuanyuan Heng.

So he immediately stopped talking without saying another word.

Shi Xiaoyun was calm. He looked at the two people beside him with a smile in his eyes. They got along well and were very respectful to each other. They were just like the loving couple he imagined.

It's great that my sister is living a happy life! If my mother were still alive, she would be very pleased.

Shi Qing returned to the top of the list and saw Shi Xiaoyun's name. She patted Xuanyuan Heng's shoulder with some excitement.

"Yun'er is really amazing, he is actually the top scholar!"

Shi Xiaoyun was calm and composed, no exception. He had worked hard for this, and he was very clear that whatever outcome he got depended on his own ability.

Shi Qing was so excited that he picked up Shi Xiaoyun and spun around, smiling.

"You have lived up to my elder sister's training. If you fail the exam, I will not forgive you."

Xuanyuan Heng chuckled and said helplessly, "If he really is frustrated, you can only comfort him. Qingqing is so soft-hearted, how could you bear to scold him!"

Now that the results have been announced, the family decided to go to Wangjiang Tower to celebrate. Shi Qing ordered all the specialties here. At this time, Shi Xiaoyun suddenly asked about Shi Jianye.

Shi Qing did not hide anything and told Shi Jianye how he was selling illegal salt and weapons. Shi Xiaoyun's frown never relaxed.

He finally sneered and said, "The Emperor has done his utmost by not punishing him. If he had known better, he would have been grateful to the Emperor."

While they were eating, a waiter suddenly came and said that someone outside wanted to see them. After learning who the person was from the waiter's description, Shi Qing and Shi Xiaoyun chose not to meet him.

"We don't know him, so let him go. Don't disturb us while we're eating."

The waiter then left, thinking that anyone could come and try to get close to him nowadays.

Shi Jianye was anxious because he couldn't see anyone. When he woke up just now, he got a piece of news. It turned out that his good son had passed the exam.

If he was just a Tanhua Lang or a Jinshi, perhaps Shi Jianye would not be so excited.

But when he learned that his son had actually passed the imperial examination and won the top spot, he became extremely excited.

At the beginning, Shi Jianye was only a third place winner in the imperial examination and he was not expected to be reused in the end.

His son was so capable, but why didn't he realize that Shi Xiaoyun had such ability back then?

However, Shi Xiaoyun did not agree to let him go to Wangjiang Tower, so he waited at the door.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally found Shi Xiaoyun. He walked up to her and said, "Yun'er, you've really done well. Now that you've passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer, your father will celebrate with you. Come home with me."

As he said that, Shi Jianye showed his father's identity and pulled Shi Xiaoyun to leave, but was stopped by Shi Qing.

"I wonder what Master Shi, no, Master Shi, wants to say?"

Shi Jianye's face was filled with anger. He looked at Shi Qing angrily and said with gritted teeth.

"Look carefully, I'm your father, how dare you call me that."

Shi Xiaoyun protected Shi Qing and prevented Shi Jianye from approaching Shi Qing, speaking in an almost cold tone.

"When my sister got married, I made it very clear. From now on, I will take my mother's surname and change my name to Liu Xiaoyun. Since my father values ​​my stepmother's children more, let my stepmother give birth to another child for you. Our father-son relationship has ended."

Shi Jianye became anxious. If this was the case, he wouldn't get any credit. He didn't want to be laughed at, and this would be shameless.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. I raised you all, and you're trying to sever ties with me. Do you think you're giving up on your career path?"

Shi Qing crossed his arms, looked at Shi Jianye beside him with a half-smile, and said sarcastically.

"Okay, it's understandable that you want to settle the accounts of these years. Since you feel it's unfair, I will pay you back the money you have used to support us siblings over the years.

But you have no relationship with us anymore, and we have changed our household registration. Father, since we are not destined to be together, why force it?"

Shi Jianye then realized that Shi Qing was extremely serious about what he said. He finally sighed and spoke directly.

"After all, we are father and son. I don't want you to give me too much. Ten thousand taels of silver. From now on, there will be no more contact between our two families. Otherwise, Yun'er must come back with me."

He guessed that it was impossible for Ding Qing to have so much silver, so he finally let Shi Xiaoyun go back obediently. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Heng waved his hand, took out a hundred silver notes and handed them to Shi Jianye.

"Here's ten thousand taels of silver. Don't bother us again, or we'll be rude!"

Seeing that the situation was beyond redemption, Shi Jianye decided to quit while he was ahead and accepted the 10,000 taels of silver. However, he didn't know that this would completely sever their kinship.

The matter has been settled. The emperor has not yet assigned a position to Shi Xiaoyun, so he lives in the Marquis' Mansion for the time being.

I don’t know who broke the news that Shi Xiaoyun is Shi Qing’s younger brother, but some people say that Shi Xiaoyun was taught by Shi Qing himself.

For a time, this matter became a hot topic of conversation in the capital.

The ministers who had doubted Shi Qing in the past were very concerned about their own thoughts. They even questioned Shi Qing at the beginning. Since she could teach the top scholar, she was qualified to teach the prince.

Besides, Shi Qing has been quite active in the capital in the past few months.

One month after marrying Xuanyuan Heng, she started to establish relief halls in the capital to provide temporary accommodation for homeless children or women.

Everyone is grateful to Shi Qing, including all the children. After all, not everyone has such selfless friendship, and Shi Qing is just fulfilling the original owner's wish.

The good deeds she accumulated for the original owner would be useful when the original owner was reincarnated. This was the best she could do.

Emperor Mingde fulfilled his original promise. After Shi Xiaoyun was summoned to the palace, he appointed him as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. At the same time, he appointed Shi Qing as the imperial tutor and sent him to the palace to teach the prince.

On the day Shi Qing received the news, he was ordered to enter the palace and met the prince that Xuanyuan Heng had mentioned.

There are not many guards in the Eastern Palace. The prince likes quietness. Apart from Mo Bai, there are no other guards in the Eastern Palace. It can be said that it is very cold.

The prince saw Shi Qing, coughed weakly a few times, and then told Shi Qing the truth.

"I know it's really hard for you to come here and teach me how to read, but Miss Shi Qing, please don't waste your time on me. I..."

Shi Qing glanced at the prince and, having prepared in advance, took out a jade flute from his sleeve.

"Your Highness is a little agitated. How about I use a flute tune to soothe Your Highness?"

Crown Prince Zhongjing frowned and looked at Shi Qing. This girl was pretty, but it seemed like she didn't understand what he was saying, which gave the crown prince a headache.

Before he could refuse, a melodious flute sound came. The tune was light and cheerful with a hint of sadness. It was the flute sound that his mother loved to play when he was a child. He had never heard it again after his mother passed away.

"How long have you been learning this piece of music? It must have been very difficult."

Shi Qing nodded and said, "It's not that difficult, but it's definitely not as good as the Empress's playing. She is the most beloved person in His Highness's heart.

But Your Highness, although the Queen has passed away, I wish you peace and prosperity. You were originally a crown prince with great talent, so why did you give up on yourself? "

Zhong Jing threw the book on the table to the ground and said with a gloomy face.

"Get lost, I don't need you to teach me. Who do you think you are? Even my mother wouldn't discipline me like this, so what gives you the right?"
