Lady Wan Guan

Chu Feifan was a piece of trash, and he gave full account of everything as soon as he was caught.

Another interrogation is to confirm whether there are any discrepancies in the previous confession.

As it turns out, no.

"Sir, I have given everything to you. How about letting me go? I will give up the exam and never take another exam again. How about that?"

What a naive idiot.

Everyone almost laughed angrily.

"Chu Feifan, you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out for a while." Master Chen said.

"Sir, how long is a moment and a half?"

"Maybe a lifetime."

"Why? Although the student bought the test questions, the exam has not started yet. At most, the student is considered an attempted cheat." Chu Feifan said plausibly.

Gu Zhouting was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and waved his hand: "Pull it down."

Chu Feifan was dragged down by the Yamen, and he turned his head with all his strength and said loudly: "Sir, my family has a lot of money. Can I use the money to forgive my sin?"

Mr. Chen sighed: "If this kind of idiot becomes an official, I don't know how many people will be harmed."

Gu Zhouting replied calmly: "The harm caused by this kind of idiot being an official is always limited. I am most afraid of people who are well-educated and smart but have a crooked heart. It is really fatal when such people become bad."

The next person to be tried is Li Zhong.

While waiting for Li Zhong to be interrogated, an official came in to report.

"Master Gu, Mr. Jiang Ning said that he has something urgent to ask you?"

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Let her in."

Mr. Gong said: "Sir Gu, we are here to review the three divisions, and no one else is allowed in."

Gu Zhou stopped and thought for a while: "I'll go see him. You two adults will wait a moment."

After Gu Zhouting left, Minister Gong began to complain.

"Master Gu doesn't take the joint trial of the three departments seriously. He only examines half of the case and leaves as soon as he wants."

Master Chen said: "Master Gong, please be patient for a moment. The night is long and you won't miss this hour or three."

Gu Zhou stopped to go out and saw Jiang Wan Ning.

"How is Li Zhong's father?"

"Fortunately, I went in time and recovered. I came to you to tell you that Li Zhong's daughter-in-law Huiniang confessed that someone indeed gave Li Zhong money to sell test questions. I also brought the money. Fifty taels of silver plus ten gold leaves, this is just the deposit."

Jiang Wan Ning turned to signal Xiao Pan, who handed over a heavy package, and Zheng Guan took it.

Zheng Guan was astonished: "Jiang...Mr. Jiang, how did you do it? The young man said all his nice things, but Hui Niang just didn't speak."

Gu Zhou stopped and gave him a stern look.

Zheng Guan shut his mouth knowingly.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "The news you sent was too timely. We are about to interrogate Li Zhong."

Jiang Wan Ning sighed slightly. She just knew that they would definitely interrogate Li Zhong tonight, so she hurried over.

"This gold leaf is very delicately crafted, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out its origin."

Gu Zhouting asked Zheng Guan to open the bag and took out a gold leaf.

Sure enough, the stems of this gold leaf are clear and as thin as cicada wings.

"Zheng Guan, take a piece of gold leaf and find out which jewelry store it comes from."

Zheng Guan responded.

"Then you're busy, I'll go back first." Jiang Wanning said goodbye.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Wan Ning paused, tilted her head, and looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Gu, do you have any other instructions?"

Gu Zhouting hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay. You go back and have a rest early."

"Master Gu, just tell me if you have anything to do. You don't have to be polite to me."

Based on her understanding of Gu Zhouting, the flash of hesitation in his eyes meant that something was definitely wrong with him.

Gu Zhou stopped two steps forward, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

The warm breath was like a feather gently caressing his ears, and Jiang Wan Ning's heart trembled.

Just talk about things, why do you have to get so close?

"I got it, don't worry." Jiang Wanning walked away quickly, as if there was a tiger chasing behind her.

Zheng Guan said to himself curiously: "What did the Lord say? Jiang...Why is Mr. Jiang still blushing?"

Gu Zhouting heard it: "Are you very free? Why don't you go check out the golden leaves quickly?"

"Oh, yes, little one, go right here."

Jiang Wanning left the Punishment Department Yamen, got on the carriage, and ordered: "Xiao Pan, go to Cuichun Tower."

Xiao Pan stood stunned on the spot and asked uncertainly: "Madam, do you know where Cuichun Tower is?"

"I went to investigate the case, not to do anything else."

Of course she knew where Cuichun Tower was.

Xiao Panxin said that the lady is really enthusiastic about Mr. Gu's affairs. She rides around without any complaints and is very happy to do so.

If you say that the lady doesn't have any thoughts towards Mr. Gu, I won't believe it even to death.

In the East Palace, Xiao Wang sat in front of the desk, looking at the table that was originally full of memorials but now empty, recalling Concubine Sun's lectures, unabashedly disappointed in him, and the anxiety in his heart could not be suppressed no matter how hard he felt.

Is Yao Qidi himself confused or is someone really plotting against him?

He hoped it was the latter, but what if it wasn't?

Gu Zhouting and Chen Yushi were involved. He was not afraid that the truth would not be found out, but he was afraid that the result would not be what he wanted.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

"No." Xiao Wang said irritably.

Qin Siyue had already come in. When he heard the disgusting tone, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face.

But she quickly adjusted her emotions, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed the right smile. The smile that made her look gentle and charming was the smile she had practiced countless times in front of the mirror.

"Your Highness, I heard that you had a cough yesterday, so I specially stewed Tremella and Lotus Seed soup for you to clear your throat and soothe your throat." Qin Siyue diligently took the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and put it on the desk.

"No appetite." Xiao Wang said expressionlessly.

"Your Highness, I have also heard about that incident. It is Master Yao's fault. Can't we just change the test questions and change the examiner? Why bother worrying about this matter." Qin Siyue advised gently.

Xiao Wang raised his eyes and looked at her like a fool.

I felt even more irritable.

"What do you know?" You know nothing. Such a person still wants to compete with Nan Zhi. He is not worthy of carrying Nan Zhi's shoes. He is not even comparable to Jiang Wan Ning.

Qin Siyue said: "I don't understand very well, but I also know that whoever is at fault will bear the responsibility. Even if he has to be implicated, Mr. Yao was recommended by Yang Xiang. Your Highness can take the opportunity to replace him with one of his own. Isn't this a blessing in disguise? ?”

Xiao Wang was completely speechless.

"I am the person in charge of the talent selection ceremony of this department. I am the real examiner. No matter who is at fault, I will not be able to escape the responsibility of oversight. When the time comes, let alone someone who replaces me, I will be responsible for it." It's hard to protect yourself, and you have to be replaced. If you replace him with His Highness, it will be even more detrimental to me." Xiao Wang said with a stern face.

Qin Siyue was stunned, is it so serious?

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

Xiao Wang glanced at her coldly: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"

"Now my father has ordered a joint trial among the three departments. Gu Zhouting and Chen Lingchong, the most hated person in the Yushitai, are trying the case at the Ministry of Justice. Do you still think this matter is not serious?"

Qin Siyue suddenly became panicked. Didn't she harm the prince?
