Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 719 Chapter : Restoring the truth
"Qian Shangshu, now that you have been taken to Dali Temple, I will interrogate you. It is not your turn here yet."

Chen Wenhui's words made everyone quiet down instantly, but Zhu Han didn't give up either.

Chen Wenhui presented many students' opinions on this matter in front of everyone.

Some of them are because they have also suffered from cases of imperial examination fraud.

If there is no way to investigate clearly, they are likely to be treated extremely unfairly.

"The students have already named you and reported all the things you did."

"If we continue to investigate, Qian Shangshu will lose even his final dignity."

Zhu Han's words immediately stunned Qian Shangshu.

He looked at Chen Wenhui in surprise, never expecting that so many students would jointly report him.

It was not at all what he had imagined.

Scholars who opposed the fraud in their imperial examinations were killed and injured, and they also set fire to kill all those people. How could they appear at this time?

"This must be lies to deceive the public. If those people really have any influence, they will definitely appear."

"But you came to accuse me with these pieces of paper. You thought I would really plead guilty."

Zhu Han never expected that Qian Shangshu would become so rampant in the face of the interrogation at Dali Temple.

If he didn't have enough evidence, he would naturally not send him to Dali Temple.

Chen Wenhui glanced at Zhu Biao beside him.

At this time, he slowly stood up.

Zhu Biao walked up to Qian Shangshu and looked at him condescendingly, his eyes full of contempt.

"I originally thought that Qian Shangshu was such a noble person, and I was appointed as the examiner by my father."

"You should know what students should pay attention to during selection, but you have done so many things. Do you know your guilt?"

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Qian Shangshu laughed.

"Your Highness, you must be looking down on me too much. Now that I have become the examiner of the imperial examination, I will be prepared for the abilities of the students."

"What does the difference between their southern students and their northern students have to do with me?"

"If you can't learn anything and can't take the imperial examination, you blame the examiner for your fault. Where does this come from?"

Every time there is an imperial examination, a large number of people will immediately stand up and clamor.

In fact, the gap between southern students and northern students has become increasingly obvious from the beginning.
If Zhu Han hadn't discovered it, it would have had a great impact on them.

Now that so many situations have occurred, they will naturally not create loopholes because of this.

We have already reached this stage, and the news that the students from the south did not make the list has spread in Yingtian Mansion, and the impact is obvious.

"Don't utter such arrogant words now. The case of imperial examination fraud has already been taken over by me."

"Did you know that many students in Yingtian Mansion were implicated due to the leak of the North-South exam questions? You still want to kill them and silence them. I'm right."

Every word Zhu Han said reached Qian Shangshu's ears, and to him it was like a knife piercing his heart.

He never thought that one day he would be forced into such a desperate situation.

He originally thought that in Yingtian Mansion, no matter what happened, he would not be forced to die.

But Zhu Han's true interpretation now left him at a loss.

Qian Shangshu looked at Zhu Han venomously. He refused to admit his fault.
He insisted that there was no connection at all between himself and those students.

They couldn't answer the questions themselves, so they heard that the imperial examination was suspected of fraud.

"What happened in the imperial examination was entirely their own fault, and now they want me to take responsibility. Is there any royal law in the world?"

So far, the imperial examination questions have allowed Zhu Han to investigate a lot of truth.

But he didn't expect that Qian Shangshu was about to die, and he still refused to believe it.

"No matter what you say now, I won't trust you. You've already reached this point, so there's no need to waste any more time."

If anything, Shangshu Qian was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, Zhu Han stood up and glanced towards the door.

Wang An and other students walked in slowly, and they recognized Qian Shangshu at a glance.

Qian Shangshu's face turned pale instantly.

He looked at the students in front of him in disbelief.

He had seen these faces thousands of times. Not long ago, these people were causing trouble in the Gongyuan. They were pulled out by Qian Shangshu's order and each was beaten twenty times.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they went to the ruined temple outside the city.

Qian Shangshu even sent people to set a fire, preparing to kill them all.

But he didn't expect that they would appear in front of him so clearly.

Only then did Qian Shangshu understand. He was actually deceived by his subordinates.

The people who were sent out said that they set a fire and burned all the people inside.

"You really didn't expect us to meet here?"

When Wang An walked forward and looked at Qian Shangshu, his eyes were full of disdain.

Qian Shangshu's heart was in his throat, and he was extremely worried at this time.

The appearance of Wang An completely broke the deadlock.

In front of everyone, Wang Angui told Chen Wenhui the rumors he heard outside during the imperial examination.

"Master Qian himself had ordered people to manipulate the imperial examination system. He had many connections with those dignitaries. He leaked the examination questions to them."

"Even if we can take part in the imperial examination, there is no way we can write excellent articles."

"Those people had already written the articles in their minds beforehand, so when they started writing, they wrote out all the articles written by those literati."

Wang An even told Chen Wenhui.

It seems like one person has won the exam, and their test papers are all exactly the same, written by the same person.

It is hard to believe that such a candidate can actually be admitted as an official.

"Master Chen, no matter how much we are regarded as students in Yingtian Mansion, we are here to take the imperial examination, but now something like this happens and we have nowhere to redress. What should you do, sir?"

Several students arrived and knelt down.

What they stated was in Yingtian Mansion, which was explosive news.

When Chen Wenhui intervened in the matter this time, he naturally wanted to deal with it impartially.

What's more, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao are both here, so it is absolutely impossible for him to think unnecessarily.

Qian Shangshu was speechless at this time. He did not expect that the person he had killed long ago was actually standing in front of him.

He couldn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do now.

Wang An told everything he knew, completely convincing Qian Shang that there was no chance of turning white.

Chen Wenhui looked at Qian Shangshu.

"Master Qian, what else do you have to say now? How dare you do this in the imperial examination."

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao also looked at him. Qian Shang said he didn't expect that he didn't seem to be afraid at all. When looking at Zhu Han, there was a trace of provocation in his eyes.

"You can believe what these people say now. The only person who really knows whether I cheated in the imperial examination is Ge Rong."

"He is already dead. You have no direct evidence. It is just a dream to convict me based on their words."

"Not to mention how can you know that I did everything."

The imperial examination matter has become a hot topic now. If there is really no way to investigate the matter clearly.

It will definitely cause quite a stir in Yingtian Prefecture.

Now that the deal is done, if it continues to be delayed, rumors of entering Tianfu will definitely spread everywhere again.

Zhu Han didn't want to see such a scene again.

He stood up immediately and walked to Qian Shangshu.

"Do you really think that what you see is really the truth about you? Then you are really overestimating your capabilities."

"I have already made arrangements for Ge Rong's matter. This time I will definitely punish you."

Zhu Han was about to send someone to call Ge Rong to Yingtian Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Qian Shangshu's steward was one step ahead of him and brought in one of Qian Shangshu's officials.

This person is an official who serves as the deputy examiner in Gongyuan.

"I know who the person who practices favoritism and malpractice in the imperial examination is definitely not our master, but Mr. Fang."

The Lord Fang in front of him was the Minister of Household Affairs and a subordinate of Qian Shangshu. After being brought over by the steward, Lord Fang kept his head down and remained silent.

When Qian Shangshu saw the butler coming, he felt obviously relaxed.

He blew his beard and stared at Zhu Han in front of him, not taking him seriously at all.

This move made Zhu Han immediately realize that he must have some hidden agenda.

Chen Wenhui's routine interrogation also began. The housekeeper Gui, in front of him, knew everything about Chen Wenhui's questions.

"What evidence do you have to prove that he is the one who leaked the exam questions? Examiner, do you know the importance of Yingtian Mansion to the imperial examination."

"If you say half a word, you will definitely lose your head, and you can afford the consequences."

Zhu Han admired the butler's psychological quality.

When the housekeeper looked at Chen Wenhui, he put all the blame on Mr. Fang.

"My Lord Fang and my Lord are both deputy examiners. My Lord has never leaked the examination questions, but Lord Fang also knows about the imperial examination questions."

"That's why he took the imperial examination and immediately attacked my family. This led to the imperial examination questions being leaked."

Chen Wenhui had long heard that the butler's remarks were obviously intended to let Mr. Fang take all the responsibilities and let Qian Shangshu Jin Chan escape from his shell.

The scapegoat they were looking for, Chen Wenhui continued to question without mercy.

"How should we explain the petitions written by the students? Could it be Master Fang and Qian? The minister has many connections, which led to the students misidentifying the person?"

Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked like they were watching a good show.

If the butler can't even answer this question, then his plan to make Master Fang take the blame will definitely come to nothing.

Zhu Han looked at Chen Wenhui and really didn't expect that any of his prisoners could do this.

He is just a small official.

Now it seems that Chen Wenhui has done really well whether in dealing with people or in other aspects, which makes Zhu Han admire him with admiration.

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and immediately brought Master Fang out. He wanted to use more than just these methods for them.

"It's true what my lord said. Sir Fang just used my master's reputation to leak the test questions."

"The scholars who received the money were all managed by Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang also specially invited them to stay in his house for one night."

"If Mr. Chen is unlucky, he can go to Mr. Fang's house now to check on their servants. They all know what Mr. Fang has done."

No one believed the steward's one-sided story.

Qian Shangshu seemed to be receiving an amnesty at this time, and looked at Zhu Han with a provocative look triumphantly.

"Then you are really too confident. Why did Mr. Fang remain silent from the beginning?"

Zhu Han slowly walked up to Mr. Fang, and saw that when the other person looked at Zhu Han, his eyes slowed down and seemed to dodge.

"Your Majesty, I know that your investigation into this matter must be related, but this matter really has nothing to do with us."

"I did everything, and I'm willing to pay the price for it."

These were the words Master Fang spoke, which made Zhu Han more interested in him.

At this critical moment, there are really not many people who can take the blame for their immediate superiors.

There is no one in the world who is afraid of death.

While everyone was discussing how to judge the guilt, especially Zhu Han and Zhu Biao, they planned to release Ge Rong.

Suddenly, a person very familiar to Zhu Han appeared outside.

He Fengyu actually ran over in a hurry. When he saw Zhu Han, he took a few steps forward.

"Master, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Han was a little confused.

"If you have anything to do, just say it here."

He Fengyu had no choice but to reveal Master Fang's true purpose in front of everyone.

"We just heard that Mr. Fang wants to put all the blame on himself. Have you ever thought about what to do with your newborn son?"

"If this matter really comes before His Majesty, the nine tribes involved will definitely not be able to escape."

"Then won't your son also suffer an unfair injustice? Do you really want your whole family to die with you?"

Zhu Han was in disbelief when he heard He Fengyu's words.

It turns out that the housekeeper actually used this trick.

Implicating the nine tribes is naturally a very serious situation for every official.

If the housekeeper had told Mr. Fang from the beginning that as long as Qian Shangshu was out of danger, he would definitely be able to avoid disaster.

He might go out and take the blame for the sake of his family.

Zhu Han really had to admire him.

Sure enough, Master Fang was shocked when he heard He Fengyu's words.

He raised his head and couldn't help but look at Qian Shangshu aside.

"My son must not die. I did all this. If you can't even save my son, then I won't take the blame for you."

He Fengyu's words completely frustrated the butler's calculations.

The housekeeper never expected that He Fengyu would come out halfway.

As soon as Mr. Fang heard that his son could not be saved, he immediately rebelled.
