Chapter 108 Seems to have been finalized
Xin Gui stood in the middle of the road leisurely, smiling and sarcastically: "Mr. Mu is indeed brave. I heard that he had captured the person who wrote the poem against the contrary. Is he going to send him to the palace to interrogate the emperor himself?"
Mu Bai gritted his teeth. He was not a fool either. After thinking about it, he felt that things were too strange. This must have been the method used by the Taiwei, which made him think that he had captured the Xin family, but he did not expect that he was recommended by Lord Fu. What should I do?
"It seems that it's not my turn to report to you. Get out of the way, delay serious matters, be careful of your head. ΩΩWw W.『BiQuGe.CN" Mu Bai said angrily with a dark face. After all, he is a slave, but he can't mess up.
Xin Gui naturally knew his status, and gave in with a smile, apologizing respectfully: "Stop anger, how dare the young man block the adult's way? He just happened to pass by. Since the adult has important matters, the young man will not delay you."
Mu Bai glared at him and left before leaving, and hurried to Qiu's mansion with Yao Si.
Qiu Wanao was already angry about the matter between Qiu Ji and Miss Li. When he met Mu Bai, he learned that it was Yao Si who was arrested, so he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him.
"Since you are the one I recommend, why do you live in the Xin family courtyard?" Qiu Wanao was very rude to Yao Si, his eyes full of doubts. Could it be that Yao Si is a traitor and wants to please both sides?
Yao Si quickly bowed and explained: "My master misunderstood. A month ago, by chance, the little girl and the young master of the Xin family became prayers and called him second brother privately.
It was also the little girl who was not very careful and thought that she had already owe you the kindness, so how could I get to the door again and have no travel expenses to stay, so she went to Xin's villa in a hurry.
No one knew about this. The little girl really didn't expect that she was framed as the poet. The adult, the little girl was really wronged, so she asked the adult to make the decision for the little girl."
She burst into tears and felt miserable and sad. Mu Bai was sweating profusely. At that time, he thought it was Xin's family and was punished first without saying a word. Now the situation is completely opposite. How could he still believe that it was Yao Si's actions? Even if it is true, he has to say it is not.
"My lord, I am also being used by the officials in a daze. Miss Yao was recommended by you personally, so it is impossible for you to do that. The officials will release them now-----"
Qiu Wan Aohan looked at him, "I'm afraid that if you release someone now, the emperor will have to ask you."
"My Lord's meaning-----The Xin family has already spread the news to the emperor's ears?" Mu Bai trembled when he thought of this. What should I do?
Qiu Wanao was just a supporter, but he didn't feel much panic on his face. He just snorted coldly: "If anyone surnamed Xin wants to study my book, do you really think I will be helpless? If you take her into the palace, I want to see what kind of tricks the little emperor can make."
Mu Bai was relieved a little when he heard this. After saying this, he did as he did and immediately escorted Yao Si away.
Yao Si never said anything more until he was about to leave the mansion and saw Wei Zha, and he winked at him. Wei Zha understood and stepped forward to bow to Mu Bai: "Sir, our young master has something to ask her, and ask her for a convenience. It only took a moment to send her back immediately."
Mu Bai hesitated and nodded in agreement, ordering the two yamen runners to follow. Before a moment, Yao Si was brought back, and Wei Zha bowed and thanked him again and again.
Zhuang Yanzheng was bored and listened to Jutong's report on the news everywhere. An eunuch stood in a hurry. Jutong saw this and immediately hid in the dark.
The eunuch walked to Zhuang Yan and bowed and said respectfully: "Emperor, Jingzhao Yin has brought the rebels into the palace and asked the emperor to interrogate himself."
Zhuang Yan threw away the fish material in his hand, stood up with a smile and walked towards the main hall.
Although Yao Si guessed it, he was still shocked when he saw that the Nine Five Lord was a boy who was only a few years older than him.
Even a three-year-old child knows the situation of today. Fu and Taiwei control the situation in the court on the left and right. Although it is balanced, the young emperor has no real power and is a veritable puppet emperor.
But was he really willing to be a puppet made by two old men? Yao Si looked at Zhuang Yan with a steady look, afraid that in time, the little emperor would eventually regain his own rights.
Mu Bai bowed and expressed his purpose of entering the palace. "Emperor, the lower official has arrested the person who wrote the rebellious poem this time. Thinking that the matter is of great importance, the lower official dared not make any decisions. He specially requested that the emperor be able to interrogate this person in person."
Zhuang Yan looked at Yao Si with a smile, and the latter's eyes were locking him tightly. Some resentment could be clearly seen in his eyes. What a girl, she really didn't treat me as the emperor.
The eunuch who was serving next to him noticed Yao Si's gaze and said with a sharp look: "Bold, how can you peek at the emperor's holy face?"
Yao Si lowered his head obediently and refused to speak.
Zhuang Yan waved his hand to signal the eunuch to shut up, and then asked Mu Bai: "She is just a little girl. Jingzhao Yin is sure that this person is a traitor?"
Mu Bai looked embarrassed: "The lower official also felt strange. To be honest, this woman was a student whom Lord Fu had just recommended to Yangshan Academy, named Yao Si.
Although the Xiaguan felt that things were not simple, Lei Zhibiao, the son of the magistrate who came from the same county as this woman, insisted that the poem was written by this woman. Since there was no other evidence, the Xiaguan could only arrest him first."
Zhuang Yan nodded and said lightly: "Transfer to the witness."
The eunuch shouted "Transfer to the Witness". Soon after, Lei Zhibiao was taken into the hall, walked to the center and knelt down, answering carefully: "Student Lei Zhibiao bowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"How can you insist that she is the poet?" Zhuang Yan's voice became a little stern.
Lei Zhibiao was already afraid of the powerful and trembling with fear. If he hadn't kneeled, he would have fallen down immediately.
He took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little before saying, "Report to the emperor, Yao Si took the county exam, and his father was one of the invigilators. On the test paper submitted by Yao Si that day, the limerick poem written that is now circulated."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, unable to hear any emotion in his tone, "Since that's the case, this woman's crime is unforgivable. She is taken to the Heavenly Prison and asked for a date to be executed. As for her as an auxiliary recommendation, the court will discuss it again tomorrow. After all, it is of great importance. I need to give an explanation to all the ministers."
Mu Bai's heart was thumping, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the official thought there were still doubts in this matter. It would be difficult to convict just by saying a few words without any evidence. The official begged the emperor to ask the witness to provide evidence, otherwise it would be difficult to convince people if they were just talking nonsense."
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment, and seemed to be reasonable, he asked Lei Zhibiao again: "Do you have evidence? How can I listen to your words?"
Lei Zhibiao thought for a while and said certainly: "The students have evidence. After the county exam is completed, the test papers will be sent to the prefect's office on the spot. It will be impossible to lose them in the middle, and it will be even more impossible to make trouble.
The emperor can send someone to the prefect to check. There must be no Yao Si's test paper in Xiaxiang County, because the test paper has been stolen long ago.
The students thought that this must be because Yao Si was afraid that Shi would bring him a murder, so he sneaked into the prefect's office and stole the test paper, but he accidentally leaked the text, otherwise he would not explain why her test paper was not there."
After hearing this, Zhuang Yan said to Mu, "Jingzhao Yin immediately sent someone to investigate the matter."
Mubai bowed and took the order: "The subordinate officials obey the order."
Zhuang Yan showed a little tired look, "This matter is still suspicious and it is important. I will discuss with all the ministers in the court tomorrow. Yao Si will be taken to the Heavenly Prison to be questioned tomorrow, and the rest will be withdrawn."
Chapter completed!
