In the court, Xin Zhongqiao impeached Qiu Wanao with a sarcasm. Zhuang Yan looked at the two of them with a smile and said something, but he did not stop them. 『Bi        Quge Ww     W.

"Your Majesty, this woman is a rare female talent. In addition, her future is unlimited at such a young age. How could she give up her bright future and do such a rebellious thing?" Qiu Wanao made a sincere defense.

Xin Zhongqiao immediately retorted sternly: "A little girl can know what kind of national justice? If it weren't for someone's instructions, she wouldn't be able to do this, because she was afraid that the instructor would be hateful;

The emperor, I think this girl must be sentenced to death, but the person behind the scenes must also be found out, otherwise even if the grass is cut and the roots are not eradicated, there will be a great disaster in the future."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly and said that he was listening, but his eyes were on Yao Si. He was so calm and did not defend himself at all. Could it be that he was sure that he would not blame him? He was so arrogant?

He said angrily with a cold face: "Sinner Yao Si, has someone instructed you to write this poem? Why don't you attract it quickly~~"

Yao Si then replied slowly: "Report to the emperor, the little girl is not sure about this matter from beginning to end. The poem was not written by my little girl, nor did he know who accused her of the little girl. He was full of grievances and injustice, so please ask the emperor to be fair for the little girl."

Xin Zhongqiao sneered: "Since you have committed a crime, how could you admit it? Now that the evidence is here, if you can point out the person behind the scenes, maybe the emperor is kind and can keep your entire body."

Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment and ordered someone to pass on the witness Lei Zhibiao. Everyone in the hall was looking forward to it, not curious about who was the witness, but was just concerned about how the incident would end.

This time I went to the hall was even more powerful than yesterday. Lei Zhibiao could feel hundreds of people staring at him, but his neck was not moving, and he walked and trembled, and he came to the center of the hall with his breathing.

Xin Zhongqiao also asked someone to investigate in advance, and he was full of confidence in speaking: "Emperor, this person is the son of the magistrate of the same county as Yao Si. He can testify that the poem was indeed written by this woman."

Lei Zhibiao's heartbeat was beating in fear. When he heard his name being mentioned, he immediately panicked: "Reply---Report to the emperor's words, students can indeed testify. The poem was written by Yao Si, and it is absolutely true.

On that day, Yao Si handed in the test paper before he finished the exam. Seeing that his article was ruthless, his father knew that he had no right to read the test paper, he sealed the test paper and sent it to the prefect's office. He thought that the prefect would submit it after seeing the test paper.

Unexpectedly, the poem was later passed to the capital. My father was deeply puzzled and went to ask the prefect in person. Only then did he find out that Yao Si's test paper was stolen. As for whom he stolen, the student thought it was Yao Si. He was afraid that the test paper would cause him to kill, so he stole his test paper."

All the ministers were in an uproar. This was said with a nose and eyes, and it sounded like that, but---

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at him. Everyone knew that this was a silent battle between the assistant and the Grand Marshal. Most of the ministers in the court divided their positions, so someone stood up and spoke soon.

There were many different opinions and expressed their opinions. Some people agreed and some people immediately opposed it. They could not contend, but instead made the court chaotic.

Lei Zhibiao didn't dare to say a word, so he could only kneel on the ground motionless, fearing that if something was wrong, he would offend someone. In a daze, he heard someone calling his name and immediately came back to his senses. Only then did the dispute stop.

Qiu Wanao stood out and walked around Lei Zhibiao for a while before questioning expressionlessly: "Have you been to the toast building yesterday?"

Lei Zhibiao was stunned, not knowing what this meant, but he nodded, "The student has indeed been there."

"Have you had a dispute with Yao Si?" Qiu Wanao continued to ask coldly.

Lei Zhibiao hesitated for a moment before nodding: "It was a little dispute, but it was just a quarrel that was not worthy of justice. The student left later."

Qiu Wanao gave up when he asked this, turned around and bowed to Zhuang Yan and said, "Your Majesty, this man has resentment with Yao Si. Yesterday, the two had a dispute. The empress also prepared witnesses and asked the emperor to pronounce witnesses to the palace."

Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement. After a while, the shopkeeper who toasted Xiaolou was brought up. He was like Lei Zhibiao, and even more timid. He had never seen this scene in his life. It was better not to be scared to faint. After kneeling down, he didn't know what to say, and he seemed very uneasy.

"The emperor is the most kind-hearted. You just need to report what you saw and heard yesterday, saying, have you seen these two people yesterday?" Qiu Wanao asked.

The shopkeeper looked at Yao Si and Lei Zhibiao one after another, nodded and answered carefully: "Reply to the emperor's words, Cao Min did see these two people yesterday. When he heard the two of them arguing, the young master threatened the girl in the end and left."

Lei Zhibiao was angry as soon as he heard this. A pariah dared to slander him. He immediately said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, when did I threaten her?"

The shopkeeper was so scared that he shook all over and was at a loss, "Caomin dared not lie. Yesterday, the young master did say that he wanted the girl to walk and see, saying that he wanted the girl to regret it, so the girl was right next to him, and he could hear it clearly."

Qiu Wanao stood up and said at the right time: "The emperor also heard that Lei Zhibiao had a quarrel with Yao Si, and he was very likely to have a grudge against him, but some people took advantage of it and convicted Yao Si of treason."

Xin Zhongqiao smiled slightly and said, "Is it me who is referring to? I didn't know that these two people had a dispute in life. Besides, they were originally in the same county, so they naturally knew each other, so it was normal for some occasional quarrels to have some quarrels.

On the contrary, this happened to prove that Lei Zhibiao did not lie. He knew Yao Si, and Yao Si did take the county examination. He was the son of the magistrate, and it was not impossible to hear about this from his father."

"The Grand Marshal has no reason to rule out the possibility of malicious revenge. Otherwise, why did he not catch him for a long time and was reported at this time, which would be a coincidence." Qiu Wanao sneered.

This matter is uncertain after all. Someone came forward and suggested: "The emperor, the official suggested sending someone to the Youzhou local magistrate's office to check whether there is Yao Si's test paper. If there is really no test paper for this woman, I'm afraid what Lei Zhibiao said is true."

"I have sent Jingzhao Yin to investigate thoroughly, and sent two confidants of the two beloved ministers, Fu and Taiwei, to accompany him. Is Jingzhao Yin back?"

Mubai had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, and there were Xin Gui and Qiu Bing, both of whom were confidants around Qiu Wanao and Xin Zhongqiao. This time, he was sent to avoid tampering with him, which was even more fair.

The three of them entered the hall one after another, bowed and knelt down, and then Mu Bai replied: "The emperor, the emperor, the prefect went to the prefect and brought back Yao Si's test paper. It turns out that the poem was not written by Yao Si, and her test paper is here."

Xin Zhongqiao was obviously stunned, looked at the test paper in Mubai's hand in disbelief, and stared at Xin Gui and asked silently.

Xin Gui shook his head and indicated that this was indeed the case. He followed the other two people all the way, and it was impossible to tamper with his own eyes. He even watched the prefect open the sealed letter. Yao Si's test paper was indeed inside, but it was empty, and only her name was signed.

Lei Zhibiao was even more dull and said in surprise: "It's impossible. Her test paper has been stolen long ago, and she is not the blank paper she handed in. This is not her test paper at all."

Mubai's face darkened: "Do you suspect I've tampered with it?"

Lei Zhibiao said in panic: "Sir, I'm sorry, the student has no intention, it's just---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yao Si then said, "I gave up the exam that day, so why don't I hand in the blank paper?"

"Impossible----This--------------" Lei Zhibiao murmured in a daze, not daring to think about it at all.
