The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 343 Fairness
Lin Zisu originally thought that Qingzhou was going to tell her a big secret.

Such a request was really beyond her expectations.

The evil reputation of Dongchang is known to everyone in the world.

Others regard Dongchang as a scourge, but this Qingzhou offered to go to Dongchang, which is weird no matter how you look at it.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Lin Zisu stared at Qingzhou and asked.

With tears in Qingzhou's eyes, her body trembling, "I have passed on several words to Lord Qian several times in the past few months. If I talk about it, I will not escape the responsibility. Instead of waiting for Dongchang to take action, it is better to let them directly I will take it away so as not to suffer from flesh and blood."

"Really? You said that you and Mr. Qian passed the news. When did it happen? What did you say?"

Qingzhou was speechless immediately, hesitated for a long time, but did not say why.

Lin Zisu said with a smile: "Other people hear Dongchang's name and avoid it for fear of not being able to make it. It's good for you, I can't wait to go to prison. Today I might as well tell you what I have said. I will invite you from the Queen's place." According to Yizhi, all those who have ulterior motives in the mansion...regardless of their status, can be dealt with by me."

Qingzhou couldn't see Lin Zisu's expression, but he could hear Lin Zisu's words clearly.

At the beginning, Lin Zisu's words were extremely peaceful, but they gradually cooled down as she spoke, especially the last sentence, which carried a bone-chilling chill.

"You also admitted just now that you disclosed information about the family to Mr. Qian. There must be evidence for this, right? Your identity is still in the Jiaofang Division. Tell me, if I take you to confront Mr. Qian , you can’t produce evidence, what will happen?”

Qingzhou trembled and fell to the ground.

She originally thought that this little princess was jealous, and she was eager to clean up the prince's backyard as soon as she got the position of princess.

She took the initiative to make this request, and this little princess should readily agree.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zisu not only refused to agree, but even threatened in her words.

For a while, Qingzhou felt sad.

Her family is originally a scholarly family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Although it is not rich and powerful, it can be regarded as a famous family in Hezhong.

However, when she was ten years old, the Gu family was implicated in a case, and everything in the family turned upside down.

After the finalization of the case, most of the male members of the Gu family died on the road to exile, while most of the female family members chose to commit suicide in order to avoid becoming official slaves.

Even if there were female relatives who saved their lives, they would die of humiliation after entering the Jiaofang Division.

Firstly, Lanzhou missed his father and brother, and couldn't bear to leave them to suffer; secondly, he had a heavy responsibility, and hoped that one day he could rehabilitate his family, so he endured humiliation for so many years in the Jiaofang Division.

After repeatedly hitting the wall, this time, he really had the determination to break through.

Unexpectedly, her plan hadn't come to fruition yet, so she got stuck at Lin Zisu's place.

Lin Zisu's light words became an unshakable mountain in front of her.

Not to mention, in front of her, there are countless difficulties and obstacles waiting for her.

Lan Zhou suddenly felt that her so-called persistence was extremely ridiculous in front of these dignitaries.

From the moment she entered Jiaofang Division, the original Miss Gu family was dead.

Even if the Gu family can clean up their grievances, it is impossible for her to return to her original identity.

At this moment, she finally understood that she had already fallen into the dust on the ground, and life and death, honor and disgrace, were nothing but a matter of words from others.

In despair for thousands of years, Lan Zhou simply straightened up, and said in a flat voice: "I have nothing to hide now. I can enter the palace because Mr. Qian Ge took a fancy to my innocence and said that the prince is not around. There is a lack of women, but I am the only one who is missing. He gave me a promise that when I complete the things he explained, he will uphold justice for me. "

A chuckle appeared on Lin Zisu's face, "Our lord is notoriously lazy. I didn't expect that the majestic chief assistant would also miss it. Since Qian Ge always has arrangements, then you should stay at the mansion even more. Otherwise, how can I explain to Elder Qian Ge?"

"Back then, the servant's family was framed by others, and the family was ruined. Over the years, the servant wanted to appeal for grievances all the time, but unfortunately there was no chance. Looking at it now, Mr. Qian Ge just wanted to use the servant. The servant heard that the father-in-law of Dongchang It was sent by His Majesty, as long as you enter Dongchang, the words of slaves and servants will have a chance to be heard directly by the heavens."

Hu Po frowned while listening, and couldn't help but remind, "You have grievances, you can tell the princess! But the princess..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Zisu interrupted immediately, "Don't talk yet, listen to her."

Lin Zisu turned to look at Qingzhou, and said in a cold voice: "Dongchang will not review unjust cases. If you have a wrong, you should go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple."

Qingzhou smiled sadly, "Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other. Who would care about the grievances of an orphan girl for no reason? The slave girl went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate replied to the slave maid with four words, which is nonsense; Dali Temple is even more humble as a slave girl Because of this, I can't help but beat the servants out with sticks."

"Then how can you be sure that Dongchang will avenge you?"

Lan Zhou, with his resentment, thinks most about appealing for grievances, but never thinks about this issue.She was stunned for a while, before she said: "I heard that Eunuch Cao of Dongchang and several adults in the cabinet are in the same situation. If I have evidence in my hand, Eunuch Cao will naturally give me a high opinion. As long as the fathers of Dongchang look at it, I knew that my father was framed back then."

"This is strange. There is no grievance or enmity. Who would have trouble with your family? Tell me, who is it that wants to frame your Gu family?"

Lin Zisu's expression was indifferent, as if he just listened to it as a joke, which undoubtedly deeply hurt Qingzhou's heart.

"He is Lu Zhiyuan, the Minister of the Household Department."

Qingzhou's hatred surged up, and after gritted his teeth and said the first sentence, he no longer had any scruples, and said all the words in his heart.

Nine years ago, his father, Gu Menglong, served as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It happened to be the year of the Grand Competition, and Gu Menglong became the deputy examiner of that year, and the chief examiner of that year was Song Jilian, who was as famous as the great Confucian Fan Zhen, and was a Hanlin scholar at that time.

During Dayan's hundred years, because the south of the Yangtze River and the south of the mountain have always been prosperous and prosperous in culture and education, the records in the spring list have always been more in the south than in the north.

However, in this year, the number of candidates from the north in the examination far exceeded that from the south.In particular, Dongshan Academy in the capital suddenly produced more than a dozen tribute scholars.

Because Song Jilian was originally from Luyuan, and Gu Menglong was originally from Hezhong, both are northerners in name.

Some failed southern candidates jointly signed a petition to sue the examiners Song Jilian and Gu Menglong for favoring northerners.

Dozens of candidates complained along the way, and even stopped the sedan chair of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a complaint.

Rumors swirled in the streets and alleys of the capital. Some said that the two chief examiners had collected money and missed questions, some said that the chief examiners had formed gangs, and some even accused the imperial court of being fatuous and immoral for trying to suppress southern scholars.

The court was shocked, and dozens of officials successively wrote letters, asking the emperor to thoroughly investigate the scientific research.

The emperor was furious, and dispatched more than a dozen people to re-examine the examination papers, and took another [-] volumes from the failed examination papers to add southerners to the official ranks.

However, after several days of review, the conclusion made the emperor dumbfounded.
