Chapter 109 Everyone is shocked
In the early morning of the next day, the news that Minister of Rites Yu Xian's mansion was confiscated by Jin Yiwei spread throughout the capital!It caused many officials to panic, and everyone was in danger, for fear that it would be their turn next, so they asked for connections and wanted to find out what happened.

Yan Mansion, hall.

Yan Song was holding a bowl of thick porridge, drinking it unhurriedly. There were many kinds of dishes on the table, but Yan Song only concentrated on the small dish of pickles in front of him.

"Father, do you know? Last night, Jin Yiwei confiscated the mansion of Yu Xian, Minister of Rites. I heard that the land deeds that were copied out were converted to almost 1000 million taels of silver!"

As Yan Shifan said, he sat down opposite Yan Song, and the servant at the side saw this, and immediately brought a bowl of thick porridge.

"Eat, follow me to court after eating!" Yan Song put down his spoon and said calmly.

"Yes, father." Yan Shifan had no choice but to respond resentfully, picked up the bowl, and began to drink the porridge unhurriedly.

After the meal, Yan Shifan helped his father Yan Song into the sedan chair. Seeing his father's trembling appearance, Yan Shifan warned: "Father, you should pay more attention to your body! Don't go to bed so late in the future."

"Hmm." Yan Song seemed to lack experience in dealing with his son's concerns, so he nodded and responded.

"Slow down later, if you hurt your father, I will ask you!" Yan Shifan seemed to be a little worried, and turned to the bearer who was in charge of carrying the sedan chair.

"Okay, let's go!" Yan Song sat in the sedan chair, without any expression on his face, and just directed the bearer to get up the sedan chair.

"Yes!" The bearer outside responded, and then he lifted his sedan chair and headed towards the Forbidden City, and behind Yan Song's sedan chair, Yan Shifan's sedan chair followed closely.

……

When the sedan chairs of Yan Song and Yan Shifan arrived outside the cabinet, it happened that the sedan chairs of several other people also arrived at this time.

"Old Yan Ge, good morning!"

"morning!"

I saw Xu Jie smiling all over his face, approaching Yan Song's direction, and Yan Song got off the sedan chair with the help of his servants.

Then Yan Song and Xu Jie, a cabinet minister and a cabinet minister, came together as usual and started chatting.

"Old Xu Ge, have you heard what happened last night?" This time it was Yan Song who spoke first and asked Xu Jie for the news.

"I heard that Jin Yiwei copied the house! I don't know the exact reason." Xu Jie replied after thinking for a while.

"I don't know what happened to Yu Xian, which attracted Jin Yiwei's action." Yan Song stepped up the steps, and then added a sentence.

"Yes, but I should know soon!" Xu Jie said with emotion while supporting Yan Song.

……

Capital City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jiajing got up from the futon, exhaled slowly, and sent Jin Yiwei to ransack the homes of all those officials last night, confiscating almost 1000 million taels of silver from Yu Xian's home alone, as for other land deeds, title deeds, rare antiques Wait, there are countless.

From the countless rare antiques, Jiajing selected a few that he was more interested in and put them into the internal funds, and the rest were put into the treasury according to the procedures.

"Lu Fang?" Jiajing called softly.

A moment later, a figure quickly walked up to Jiajing and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"What time is it? Is it almost time for the cabinet meeting?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it will be the hour of Chen soon, and soon it will be time for the cabinet meeting."

"Well, for me, bring the list of Zhu Qi and the others, as well as the confessions of Yu Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and others." Jiajing pointed to the memorial on the case, and said.

"Your servant obeys!" After Lu Fang said that, she took all the things on the desk with her, and followed Jiajing step by step.

……

"His Majesty is here!"

Just as everyone in the cabinet was still guessing what happened to Shangshu Yu Xian and the others, a high-pitched voice interrupted their discussion.

Jiajing was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, followed by Lu Fang, and walked into the cabinet.

"I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Let's all get flat." Jiajing didn't look at them, but went straight behind the bead curtain and sat down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officials said, and then sat down in their seats.

"Report to Your Majesty, we already have some clues about the leakage of the imperial examination questions." Yan Song stepped forward first, and said.

"Oh, has Mr. Yan Ge made any progress?" Jiajing looked at Yan Song with interest and asked.

"Your Majesty, when I sent someone to check the situation at the house of the little official who was in charge of Lord Li's daily life, I found out that he had been murdered! For this reason, the murderer used some unknown poison."

"In addition, according to his wife, before the death of the little official, he was invited to a banquet. I feel that as long as we start from this aspect, we will be able to find out the truth of the case."

After Yan Song finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the emperor behind the bead curtain, his face full of uneasiness.

"Well, Mr. Yan Ge's idea is good. I believe that as long as we follow this line of investigation, the real culprit will be brought to justice." Jiajing, who was sitting behind the bead curtain, smiled and expressed Yan Song's thoughts affim.

"By the way, I don't know if the old master Yan Ge has heard such news?" After Jiajing finished speaking, he took the teacup in his hand and kept rubbing it.

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly!" Yan Song bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.

"Last night, Taichang Shaoqing Li Chunfang came out of the prison." Jiajing turned his eyes to Yan Song and said calmly.

"what!"

After hearing the news from the emperor, not only Yan Song, but the rest of the people also looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the suspicion of this Taichang Shaoqing Li Chunfang has not been completely cleared! How can you just let him go? Please take it back, Your Majesty." Gao Gong stood up first and advised the emperor.

"Yes, please take back your Majesty's order!" Zhang Juzheng also knelt down, admonishing him.

"Who told you that the suspicion on Li Chunfang hasn't been cleared? Don't you forget whose house Jinyiwei copied last night?" Jiajing chuckled and explained.

"Your Majesty means..." Yan Song, who was kneeling on the ground, was the first to understand what the emperor meant, with a face full of disbelief.

"That's right, Jin Yiwei has found out everything!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he winked at Lu Fang, and then Lu Fang passed on the list submitted by Jin Yiwei Zhu Qi and the others, as well as the confessions of Minister of Rites Yu Xian and others, to everyone present.

After Yan Song put on his presbyopic glasses and read the contents above, he knelt down slowly on the ground trembling, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is wise!"

It records the inside story of the leak of the imperial examination questions. Yu Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, admitted in his statement that he was planning everything behind it, and even the leak of the last imperial examination questions was related to him!

What scares Yan Song the most is that he didn't get any news about this until the case was solved!In other words, as long as His Majesty has this idea, he can become "deaf and blind" at any time.

After Yan Song passed by, the others also read the above content one by one, and then knelt down on the ground together with Yan Song, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is holy!"
