The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 680 Fraud in the Imperial Examination
The scholar plopped and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! It's not that the villain is bold. I really can't sue. The villain first went to Dali Temple. They said that the imperial examinations are not under their control. Then the villain went to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. , They don't even accept the petitions. All the candidates in this batch have no real talent! It was the examiner who took their money, so they came to the emperor to sue!"

The ten-year cold window is indeed not easy.

Ding dong!System prompt: Find out the biggest corrupt official in the imperial court!

Adventure, before the purple-winged bat and puppet are found, the corrupt officials will be arrested first, is this a break from the chapter?

"Who is the chief examiner for this imperial examination?"

Master Liu who spoke said: "Back to the emperor, this time the chief examiner is Mr. Zhao Youzhi, and the minister is the deputy chief examiner, but I really don't agree with what the scholar said just now. That is all a crime of wanting to impose. The ministers have a pure heart to select talents for the heavenly dynasty, and will never do anything that insults the emperor's prestige."

The scholar shouted: "Nonsense! I know the number one scholar this year. He is the son of the governor of Shandong! You have collected several 10 taels of silver from him, but now you pretend you don't know anything! You scum, you deserve to be an official!" ? Shameless! Offal!"

"It's simply vulgar, Your Majesty, how can such a person stand above the court, please issue an order from the Emperor to drive him out."

Li Tianxing shrugged his shoulders: "I think he is a man of temperament. If you really have a clear conscience, why should you care what he says? By the way, where is Zhao Youzhi?"

"Master Zhao is not feeling well these days, it's all because of the imperial examination, so..."

Li Tianxing rushed to the door and shouted: "Balong!!"

A guard in armor came in and knelt down: "The servant is here!"

"You take 100 people to Zhao Youzhi's house and ransack my house."

"According to the order!"

No need to interrogate, no need to ask, just ransack the house, this drama is too much.The one surnamed Liu complained: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the ancestral system. If the Emperor has doubts about Mr. Zhao, he can ask someone to investigate this matter. How can he copy Mr. Zhao's house based on this scholar's one-sided words."

Li Tianxing replied: "Because I like to do this, if you are not happy, you can quit your job and no one will force you."

It is very timely now, even if the Prime Minister surnamed Liu informs Zhao Youzhi, it will be too late.

Then Zhao Youzhi has been greedy for ink for many years, because he is old and has many disciples, and no one in the court easily touches him. The crows in the world are black, and they only want to protect themselves, so why would they trouble others.

In the garden, Zhao Youzhi sang a ditty, beside his wife and two kneeling girls.

"Master, if you don't go to court like this, what can the emperor do if he is angry?"

Zhao Youzhi smoked a dry cigarette, and said happily: "You are a woman, what do you know? No one can explain clearly about the affairs of the court. It is a big joke that Li Tianxing is the emperor. Just watch it, As an emperor, he won't last long, and if his name isn't upright, his words won't go well, why should I be afraid of him?"

"This imperial examination, the master made two million taels of silver, how much did the surname Liu get out of it?"

"He only ate 50 taels." Zhao Youzhi's calculation was very clear: "This person is just trying to save face, what can I do for me, or I will share the meat with him? The emperor is A young man in a fresh-blooded grade, whoever takes this position, who doesn’t want to play with girls? There are so many concubines in the harem, how can he be used? How can he still have the mind to ask about the imperial examination. From the Daxing Emperor to the present, the imperial examination The matter has never been investigated.”

His wife laughed so hard that her stomach ached: "You're the only one with a lot of thought, hehehe!!"

"Send these two girls to Mr. Liu's mansion for me. I heard that the women in his mansion are all crooked. After all, they are also third-rank officials of the imperial court. Don't be vague."

The housekeeper came from the main entrance, and hurriedly said, "Master, master."

"what happened?"

"Someone from the imperial court came and said yes... said yes..."

"What are you talking about? The sky won't fall."

"They said they came to steal the house."

"what?!"

Zhao Youzhi is a high-ranking member of the court. He didn't receive any information, and he didn't have any will. He ransacked his house suddenly. Can he be convinced?He ran to the middle room with big strides, and saw these girls rummaging through his furniture: "You guys are so brave!"

Baron said: "I pay my respects to Mr. Zhao."

"You still know that I'm an adult, whose order are you listening to? How dare you come to me and act wildly."

Baron replied: "My lord is just joking. The lowly position is the emperor's personal bodyguard. Of course, everything is subject to the emperor's orders. The emperor asked me to raid the house, but I dare not refuse. If there is any offense, please bear with me."

Zhao Youzhi shouted at the people present: "Stop it all!"

He didn't wink at the guard: "Balong, when your father was on duty, he and I were best friends. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be a fourth-rank guard with a knife in the palace, what's the matter? Now the wings are hard. Come on, it’s not time to pick on me. If you want to rob the house, kill me first!”

"Don't dare to be humble. You must listen to the emperor's words. Mr. Zhao, you are a well-known upright official. As long as you dispel the emperor's doubts, it will be fine." Baron greeted the others: "We will replace Zhao My lord proves my innocence, what's the matter with you? Why are you still standing there! Do it for me!!"

Zhao Youzhi is of course guilty. He has a treasury, which is in the back garden, but it is hidden in the rockery, so it’s okay not to be discovered. If he is discovered, he will be beheaded, because it is not just money given to him by people who buy fame. , and the money he used to embezzle the state treasury, with the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it, it looks like official bank.

The soldiers searched inside and outside, but found nothing.On the other side of the court, Li Tianxing was still waiting quietly, and even packed lunch for these adults.

After searching carefully twice, Zhao Youzhi felt relieved and sweated a little: "Balong, are you happy now? Can you go? You scared my family."

But Baron said: "Where the hell is it? It's not me trying to scare you, it's the emperor's imperial decree. If the emperor has decreed, I must find out something, otherwise this job will be ruined."

"you--"

"Come on!" Baron beckoned, "Is there anything else that hasn't been checked?"

"Returning to the commander, the back garden generation did not check."

"Then check it out."

Zhao Youzhi stood in front of the crowd: "What are you doing?! The backyard is full of female relatives, how could there be any property hidden. Baron, if you go on like this, be careful, I'll give you a copy!"

"Then you have to wait until the humble job is over before you can join."

Baron was not stupid, he saw Zhao Youzhi's guilty conscience, so of course he could find out.Moreover, the fraud in the imperial examination is no longer a day or two. No one in the government and the public knows it, but they just don't talk about it.

The soldiers searched for a while in the back garden, led by Baron himself, found the mechanism, opened it, and found several large boxes, pearls, agates and so on.The person was lifted out, and it was particularly eye-catching in the sun.
