The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 597
Xia Qing is not sure what the emperor means at this moment, does the emperor really want to investigate this matter thoroughly?
"Your Majesty! Even if I didn't know it before, I can't escape the responsibility of the crime, so I ask the emperor to punish me!"

Although Xia Qing was worried, he was afraid that the emperor would take advantage of this incident to anger him.But he is also betting that the emperor didn't attack him before, and he won't now either.

"Your Majesty, I think that if this matter is true, then this person must not tolerate it. After looting so much money, even the Jiuzu will not hesitate."

Seeing that Xia Qing himself admitted it, Shen Shikang would not seize this opportunity and let Xia Qing eat the top of the list?
Xia Qing frowned when he heard the words, this Shen Shikang was like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't even shake it off.

To punish the Nine Clans, is it possible to send him, the chief assistant, too?It has never been said that the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are the same.

The eldest prince did such a wrong thing, and the emperor did not see any punishment for him.

Although he is not a prince, he is also Xia Shoufu who has power over the government and the public. It is really fantastic that Shen Shikang is so naive as to think that he can use this matter to defeat him.

When the emperor heard this, his face twitched.

"This matter really cannot be tolerated. However, since Xia Aiqing can kill relatives righteously, I have to give him a chance. Xia Aiqing has been an official for many years, and it is because of her hard work that she has made great achievements. I am not the kind of person who waits to forget the old love. This matter will be done after investigation. conclusion."

When Xia Qing heard this, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you, old minister!"

Immediately, the discussion in the hall became louder than before.

Some officials were very upset, the emperor was too partial.

This is 80 taels of silver!A small county magistrate dared to seize so much silver. How could those people believe him if he only relied on such a false name?
The truth behind this was clearly revealed, but they kept their words light, and the low-level officials who impeached Xia Qing did not end well.

Over time, no one dared to impeach.Occasionally, some officials don't open their eyes, and the papers of impeachment can't reach the emperor.

The senior members of the second and third ranks all wanted to protect themselves wisely, and no one wanted to offend Xia Qing publicly.That's it, everyone is covering now.Although they know it well, they should not know it.

What's more, the emperor trusts him very much, and the officials don't want to do useless work any more, and even implicate themselves.

Jiang Mingyuan looked at Xia Qing who was kneeling in front of him, crying, and couldn't help admiring Xia Qing's ability to bend and stretch.

Facing these lower officials, Xia Qing showed his old face, crying with snot and tears, which really impressed him.

"Where is Yin Kun, the right deputy capital of the Supervisory Academy?" The emperor suddenly yelled, startling Yin Kun who was thinking deeply.

His heart trembled, and he hurried out, "The minister is here!"

"I order you to go to Yingnan Mansion to thoroughly investigate this matter. Once the investigation is completed, Xia Zhou will be detained first, and all the proceeds from the ransacking will be confiscated into the national treasury. If there are many officials involved, you will make a decision after reporting to me!"

"Minister Zunzhi!" Yin Kun thought in his heart, if he was involved in a lot at this time, then this person might have to be taken to Dali Temple for trial.

"As an official of the imperial court, he dared to take money and bend the law. It is an unforgivable crime. I will definitely eliminate harm for the people, and return the people of Yishui County and those merchants to a peaceful and prosperous world." The emperor clapped the armrest, filled with righteous indignation.

All the officials quickly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is wise! Long live my emperor!"

Xia Qing had some ominous premonition in his heart, Yin Kun didn't have much contact with him, he was an upright person, what he cared most was that this person was Liang Zhirui's first disciple.

Xia Qing's complexion was a little ugly, and he felt that he had lost face in front of Liang Zhirui.

It seemed that Xia Zhou couldn't stay anymore. As Liang Zhirui's disciple, Yin Kun knew that he and Liang Zhirui had a bad relationship.

What's more, before Liang Zhurui became an official, the main reason was because of him.Therefore, it is impossible for him to hand over Xia Zhou to Yin Kun.

If Yin Kun took this opportunity to catch him, wouldn't there be more trouble in the future?

Xia Qing had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and Yin Kun was also muttering in his heart.

Ying Nan Mansion Tongjuan is his teacher's second son-in-law, the emperor ordered him to go to Ying Nan Mansion to check this matter, and he must also investigate whether those officials are involved in this matter.

As for his relationship with the teacher's second son-in-law, it is impossible for the emperor not to know.Why didn't you consider avoiding suspicion?
Yin Kun thought about the emperor's previous attitude. Could it be that he didn't want to make this matter a big deal?Otherwise, he would not have been sent to investigate the matter thoroughly.

With this conjecture in mind, I planned to go to the teacher's place at night and discuss with the teacher.After all, the teacher has been an official for many years, so he must have some understanding of the emperor's character.

Ren Ge returned to his office room from Zhang Hai, looked at Gu Chengyu, who was seriously editing the memo, and paused in his footsteps.

"Jinyu! Master Zhang summoned me!"

Gu Chengyu was concentrating on proofreading, and only raised his head when he heard Ren Ge's voice.

He pondered for a moment, trying to figure out the purpose of Master Zhang summoning him.In just a moment, he tidied up the table, thanked Ren Ge, and walked out the door.

Ren Ge looked at Gu Chengyu's back in a daze, yesterday the emperor summoned Master Zhang, and Gu Chengyu also went, could it be for the ceremony?
Liu Zonghan smiled when he saw this, he no longer counted on the seat of the waiter.

In the officialdom, it has never been the case that whoever is senior can be promoted.Gu Chengyu's contribution this time is not small, and Ren Ge may not be able to get what he wants.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Kenan who was working hard.

Among the four of them, Gu Chengyu has strong backing and ability. Although he offended Mr. Shoufu, the possibility of promotion within three years is very high.

Ren Ge is also very talented, but it's a pity that he has no status and background, relying on Mr. Zhang's appreciation, he may not be promoted if he wants to be promoted.

As for Jiang Kenan, let alone.The ability to handle affairs is not outstanding, it can only be said to be conscientious and conscientious, and he dare not slack off at all.

But this person only knows how to bury his head and work hard, and doesn't know how to make money at all. He doesn't know how to come and go in the officialdom, and his family background is also average. It seems that he won't move his butt in a few years.

After analyzing these three people in his heart, he felt that he should get closer to Gu Chengyu in the future.

So what if you are at odds with Lord Shoufu?Could Lord Shoufu still be bigger than the emperor?

But he could see that Gu Chengyu's holy family was very strong!It is impossible to say that he will be summoned again and again in the future, after all, the preface of the meeting is there!
Thinking of himself at last, he gave a wry smile.How could he not know how much he weighed?
He's not very capable, but fortunately he still has a good mouth, being able to use both sides is his specialty, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in this seat for so long.

Gu Chengyu came to Mr. Zhang's place and wanted to shout at the door as usual.

The doors and windows were all wide open, Master Zhang had already seen Gu Chengyu coming.

Before Gu Chengyu could speak, he let Gu Chengyu in.

　Thank you for your time-lapse rewards!
