Yu Zizhen did not stop Lu Dingchang from leaving. She was just the crown prince of Zhenbei and did not serve in the Ministry of War, so there was nothing she could do to force Lu Dingchang not to show her his transfer order.

Fortunately, Yu Zizhen didn't really come to trouble Lu Dingchang originally. She just wanted to buy some time for her subordinates so that they could take away the students smoothly.

Now that what she wanted to do has been accomplished, Yu Zizhen decided to give it up as soon as possible, rather than provoke the Lu family into a desperate situation.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Hushan, who had been paying attention to Yu Zizhen, also brought people over urgently after receiving the news. However, he did not help Yu Zizhen stop Lu Dingchang. Instead, he took people directly to the students, intending to directly Insert one foot horizontally and cut off the beard.

He saw the opportunity quickly this time. The call was called to help rescue people, but in fact it was Ming Huanghuang and Yu Zizhen's idea to rob people. However, his people returned to the house to report the news, so he ordered all the people to come out of the house and arrived with his subordinates. The location of the incident, these all take time.

Unlike Yu Zizhen, because there is a system to report back to God, it saves a lot of time in passing messages back and forth and urgently mobilizing manpower in advance.

This also led to the fact that by the time Chen Hushan finally led his group of subordinates to the scene of the incident, the students he regarded as targets had cleverly missed them.

Looking at the empty streets in front of him and listening to the random speculations of the people around him, Chen Hushan was so depressed that he just wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

Once again, he failed to make the trip!

Reluctantly, Chen Hushan turned the horse's head and was about to take the people back home. However, out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught the figure of Yu Zizhen riding on the horse.

He immediately changed his mind, "Zizhen!"

Yu Zizhen heard the sound and looked towards him, "Why are you here?"

Chen Hushan hummed, "Is it me who should ask you this?"

Yu Zizhen glanced at him and said, "I'm here to save people."

Chen Hushan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Yu Zizhen to admit it so happily.

Yu Zizhen sighed, "Han Chuang studied hard for many years and got to where he is today. It would be such a pity to die like this."

Chen Hushan frowned.

He came because he had been keeping people's eyes on the Zhenbei Palace, so he knew that Yu Zizhen planned to get involved in the students' protest march.

Yu Zizhen wanted to show favor to these scholars in order to win people's hearts. Chen Hushan naturally couldn't let Yu Zizhen be more beautiful than the former for his own sake.

But he didn't know about Lu Dingchang leading troops to Beijing. He didn't see Yu Zizhen here just now, and thought he had retired after his success. Now after hearing Yu Zizhen's words, Chen Hushan suddenly realized , Yu Zizhen may not have left, but he has just arrived here.

He asked Yu Zizhen, "What does death mean? Even if they make trouble, the government won't kill them, right?"

After all, they really suffered injustice.

Yu Zizhen glanced at him sideways, "Do you know who I just met? Lu Dingchang."  Chen Hushan frowned, "So, 'Bao Tao Guard will be coming soon' is not a false rumor fabricated by others?"

Bao Taowei belonged to the former Military Governor's Office, one of the five military governors, and was a close confidant of the former Army Commander Lu Dingchang, so when he heard Lu Dingchang's name, Chen Hushan immediately thought of the discussions he had just heard.

Yu Zizhen sighed, "He brought a large group of soldiers and rushed here with great momentum. If I hadn't managed to stop them, the students who caused trouble today would have been caught by him and taken to the military camp."

When the time comes, he will casually give these students the title of spies, and under heavy punishment, these students will either be beaten or silenced directly. When the time comes, they will die without any evidence, and the Lu family will mediate for him. The most he can do is to be reprimanded. Day off, fined one year's salary, demoted one level.

Punishments such as reprimands and fines are nothing to Lu Dingchang. As for the level he was demoted to, with the support of the Lu family, it won't take long for him to be promoted again. return.

But those students will have their futures ruined, and even their lives will be lost in the turmoil caused by leaking the question.

Yu Zizhen admitted that she was indeed showing kindness on purpose, but while showing kindness, her cherishing of talents was also true.

Regardless of whether these students would remember her kindness in the end, she still wanted to give them justice within her ability.

Relying on the fact that he had already mastered enough information, Yu Zizhen had already started collecting evidence when others knew nothing about the matter.

From the moment Lu Dingchang's brother-in-law sold the first test question, Yu Zizhen began to collect evidence.

She found papers with test questions and answers from the homes of some of the cheaters. In addition, she also obtained their usual academic results and articles and poems they had written.

The personal style can be seen in the articles and poems, and the usual academic performance can show that those who cheat simply do not have the knowledge level to pass the exam.

In addition, she also found out where Lu Dingchang's brother-in-law kept large amounts of money and numerous treasures of unknown origin.

This time she controlled her little hand that wanted to take away all the money, and reluctantly left all the money where it was as evidence to crucify Lu Dingchang's brother-in-law.

In addition, she also compiled a list of witnesses and sorted out the complete route of Lu Dingchang's brother-in-law selling exam questions.

Make dozens of copies of these things, and then send them to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai without anyone noticing.

Once the complete chain of evidence on the bad street is revealed, it will be impossible for the Lu family to cover up the matter even if they want to.

Those officials who were not dealing with them used lightning speed to control all the witnesses, and then immediately reported the matter to the palace and asked the emperor to seek justice for this class of students.

The people of the Lu family pinched their noses to help Lu Dingchang deal with the aftermath. It was still revealed that he led troops into the city without authorization, but because he got the transfer order from the Ministry of War in time and the procedures were not in compliance with the procedures, he can still be saved for now.

As for Lu Dingchang's profit-minded brother-in-law, the fact that he leaked the story is irrefutable. Naturally, he has nothing to gain from it, and the Lu family can only let him suffer the consequences.

Because of the fact that Lu Dingchang led troops into the city without permission, Wei Xuanzheng, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who had already been to the first court to beg for his body and bones, was an old man in his sixties. He rarely went to the Yamen and rarely went to the morning court. This person Once he went to court.

He insisted on punishing Lu Dingchang in accordance with the law. However, nearly half of the court officials in the court were supporters of the Lu family. Excluding those who pretended to be ignorant and sensible to protect themselves, only less than 30% of the people who supported Wei Shilang's opinions were led by Yang Zhengde and Fan Ting. officials.
