Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 580 The conferment ends and the palace examination is reopened
Xiao Nan has also gotten used to not being able to follow her at any time, so she has no other reaction after listening to her.

He has always been quiet and obedient, and does not need others to worry about him.

Zhao Afu left after serving breakfast.

As soon as Su Rao entered the yamen of the Criminal Division, she saw a few big men grinning, their smiles were so foolish, they didn't have the demeanor of a nobleman at all.

And some people beside him, some sighed, some covered their mouths and snickered.

The ones who sighed were naturally Xiao San, Lao Hei and Xiao Qing.

She seemed to understand something.

Everyone also saw her at the first time, Xun Zeli and Gu Cheng quickly walked in front of her, Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Just received the order, His Majesty promoted me to be a sixth-rank captain of Zhenwei."

Su Rao had already got the news from Emperor Qian Ding, so it was no surprise that Gu Cheng had the highest rank among this group of people before, but he was only from the seventh rank.

Now he has jumped into a positive six.

She looked at Xun Zeli, "What about you?"

"It's lower than him, and it's a seventh-rank military position."

This is just the beginning, Xun Zeli is really full of confidence in the future, Shen Yuan and Wei Ying also came over, "My lord, we also have a rank of seventh."

Shen Yuan stroked his chin and smiled brilliantly, "It's really like a dream."

He didn't do anything, and suddenly he was promoted.

Who is unhappy with this?
Wei Ying grinned her big white teeth, and her whole body trembled wildly when she laughed. He thought to himself, this is just a daydream and a dream come true.

He was walking on the road, and a piece of pie fell from the sky, hitting him on the head.

Su Rao smiled unconsciously, looking at Xiao San and the others, compared to Shen Yuan's good luck, they really worked hard, making wedding dresses for others.

"Don't mention it soon, besides, I'm really going to die of anger."

Old Hei pulled his hair angrily, repenting, "I couldn't think about it at the time, I had to call you by your name, otherwise this official would be mine, alas, bad luck."

"This is probably fate."

Xiao Qing pouted and smiled wryly.

Among the three, Xiao San was the only one who was quite calm, but when he saw Shen Yuan and the others, he couldn't hide his envy, "That being said, the success that night was thanks to the name of the aristocratic family."

He was very clear.

Given that the three of them have no power, no power, and no support, even if they stand up, they can only add a touch of blood debt.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Su Rao comforted with a smile, and Xiao San and the others nodded lazily. Now that things have happened, they can only comfort themselves in this way.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan, Wei Ying and the others exchanged winks, they stepped forward and hooked Xiao San and the others by the shoulders, and the two brothers patted each other nicely.

"We are in the midst of being promoted to the criminal department, and we still worry about not having a chance to be promoted? Don't worry, when there are merits and rewards in the future, I will definitely call you."

"That's right."

Wei Ying also said: "True gold is not afraid of fire, you are all real men who came out of the battlefield, and you will show your talents one day."

"Damn it, you're still acting good when you get cheap, come, come, let me beat you up."

"You fool."

A few people made a fuss, Su Rao and the others watched, smiled helplessly, and Gu Cheng said: "I have the power to assist local security and fight chaos, so I will send some more soldiers over."

"Combined with the officials transferred from the Ministry of Officials, our small place may not be enough."

Several people looked around the yard.

These people are enough activities, adding more people will make it very crowded.

I don't know what His Majesty meant, but he didn't refer to the government office.

Xun Zeli pursed his lips and said, "How do we arrange for that person? We can't let them squat on the side of the road holding official documents, right?"

"There is a small piece of bamboo forest behind this yard, and there are rows of old houses, which seem to be used to store ancient books. I'll discuss with Mr. Yan and see if they can be transferred to us."

Su Rao said so.

Xun Zeli was a little worried, "That place is not far from Lord Yan's Tingzhu Hall. He always likes to be quiet, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to be disturbed."

"Ask first, then talk later."

Su Rao didn't care.

Gu Cheng thought that she had already opened her mouth, let alone a row of old houses, even if she wanted to move to Tingzhutang to work, the prince would probably not refuse.

Su Rao didn't stay for too long, and went to the Yamen of Dali Temple. Yan Yun took advantage of this day's time to sort out the rest of the matter.

The questions of the general examination were the same as those of the palace examination, they were all passed on by the servants around them, and after many investigations, it was confirmed that they had flowed into the Qiu Mansion.

At this time, the whole family of Qiu's family was imprisoned.

"What about Mr. Zheng?"

Su Rao asked.

Kong Jiang caught a glimpse of his lord's tired expression, and explained wittily: "Mr. Zheng's original name is Zheng Nan, and he is a disciple of Qiu Fengxiang's side. He was born in the rivers and lakes and knows some kung fu."

"When the imperial army went to arrest him, he jumped over the wall and wanted to escape. After he was caught, he tried everything. Now he is locked up in a prison."

"What did Qiu Fengxiang say?"

"In the face of witness testimony, he couldn't help but plead guilty, and just kept talking about asking to see His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty would treat his clan members lightly."

Qiu Fengxiang first bribed the internal officials, and then sold the imperial examination questions to interfere in the imperial court's selection of officials, with the intention of forming a party.

Just one of these crimes is enough to kill him.

I still want to ask for grace.

Kong Jiang shook his head, thinking of the tragic situation when he ransacked the house, he felt pity, "It's just that the young and old in his family are indeed affected, and we don't know what will happen."

"By the way, where's Li Mi?"

Su Rao recalled the most crucial point, "How did he come up with the exam questions?"

"Qiu Fengxiang said that the son of the Sun family has a close relationship with Li Mi, so he wanted to sell the Sun family's face."

"So simple?"

Su Rao didn't want to believe this answer in her heart, she looked at Yan Yun and said, "If that's the case, why would Li Mi endure the torture and refuse to let go? A person like him can do this for Qiu Fengxiang?"

"Li Mi is dead, there is no way to verify it."

Yan Yun rubbed his sore forehead and said quietly.

"Song Xun and the others found no clues about Butterfly. For now, we can only use Qiu Fengxiang's testimony."

Except for Li Mi, the other confessions, clues, and witnesses can all be correct.

Even the amount of banknotes used by the examinees to buy the questions found from the Qiufu search is almost the same as the confessions of various schools.

"The Sun family..."

Su Rao mutters about this surname, does Sun Sheng have such a big face?

Whether she believed it or not, the case was indeed coming to an end.

Soon after, Su Rao and Yan Yun went to the prison to release the imprisoned ministers involved in the case, to appease them, and then released the examinees.

Kou Huai and Du Shu lost weight visible to the naked eye, stubble appeared on their chins, and their clothes were not taken care of. After asking about the progress of the case, they were very angry when they heard that Li Mi cheated and the Qiu family leaked their questions.

"Then we are now..."

Compared with those people, their future is even more worrisome. Yan Yun seemed to see through their thoughts, and said softly: "The palace examination will be held in the palace in five days, and the ranking will be re-determined."
