The Villain Just Wants To Make Money

Xie Gu sneered: "What are you so afraid of? Didn't you leak the test questions?"

Ding Yanyu Dengshi burst into tears: "This...Isn't this what Your Majesty ordered?"

Xie Gu said: "What did I say and what did you do? I asked you to hand over all your family property to me, will you hand it over?"

Ding Yanyu choked - does this mean something?

"Okay," Xie Gu said, "you don't have to be so exaggerated, it won't spread to the ears of 'a lot of people' in half a day. As long as you are obedient, you and your family's lives can still be saved."

Ding Yanyu was hesitant, but he also knew that now his whole family, including his own, was indeed in Xie Gu's hands, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't cooperate.

"Where's the list? Submit them all." Xie Gu said.

Only then did Ding Yanyu take out a list from his sleeve and hand it to Xie Gu: "These are all lists of people who are looking for ministers to find a way, and the number of silver taels they made is also on it."

Xie Gu glanced at it, nodded and said: "Okay, I guess I won't dare to come to you after the rumors spread, you pretend to be panicked first, don't show any flaws, and wait for this matter to close the net, I allow you to return home."

Ding Yanyu was overjoyed when he heard Xie Gu's assurance, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Gu put away the list, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back first."

Ding Yanyu made another big gift, and then he respectfully left the palace.

Xie Gu looked at the information of all parties in the hall for a while. Now tens of thousands of people under him have infiltrated the vicinity of Chongwo Country and Taimi Mountain. Those in charge of the business are also constantly sending back information. According to the currently known information, , Wan Chenglinlang's troops are probably these, if there are any invisible forces, it is probably some brothel restaurants, after all, the armed strength will not be too strong.

This was also within Xie Gu's expectation. If Wan Chenglinlang's troops were strong enough, he wouldn't have to sneak into Nanluo to use Gongziyan.

Although I don't know how Wan Chenglinlang won in the original trajectory, but according to Xie Gu's guess, it is probably because of her original strength, coupled with her control of Gongziyan, that she turned against many ministers and generals of Nanluo Kingdom. , Under the combined attack of the two, the original villain was successfully killed.

Therefore, as long as Xie Gu stabilizes Nanluo's country, he can weaken Wan Chenglinlang's power by more than half.

However, because a lot of information in this world is not credible enough, Xie Gu doesn't plan to sit still - Wan Chenglinlang is obviously a man of scheming, if she is given enough time to adapt to the changes, I'm afraid they will still have a fight.

Therefore, when Xie Gu cleaned Nanluo's officialdom, he deliberately left this Dingyan Yu.

Ding Yanyu is a mercenary figure, he is usually cautious, and he is very good at acting in front of the original villain, so he can sit in the position of the official minister, and in the original trajectory that Xie Gu knows, this person is greedy Not enough to swallow an elephant, when he was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, he used the exam questions to make money. At first, he was very careful twice, until this time he suddenly made a lot of money with great fanfare, and finally the matter was exposed, and the angry original villain cut down the whole family.

And Gongziyan also took advantage of this. After blowing the pillow wind to get the opportunity to handle the case, he eliminated many ministers in the Nanluo court who did not obey him, and then replaced him with his own people.

Although it is known that Wan Tilinlang should be the real protagonist, this is not the case, but one can see the whole story. Judging from Ding Yanyu's own character and Wan Tilinlang's behavior, the imperial examination fraud case It should really exist, but the specific operation should be different.

But since Ding Yanyu is a grass on the wall, Xie Gu can naturally take the lead and pull the grass directly back to his own house, instead of foolishly letting it go and giving others an opportunity.

Ding Yanyu was only trying to make a profit. Of course, it was impossible for him to make no mistakes for so many years. Xie Gu collected his criminal evidence early in the morning, and then secretly summoned him to threaten Ding Yanyu to obey himself.

Of course, in order to prevent Wan Chenglinlang from making any promises to Ding Yanyu and then using it back, Xie Gu also fed Ding Yanyu an extra piece of heartbroken poison. This thing is the secret medicine of Nanluo Kingdom, and the antidote is extremely precious. , Wan Zhai Linlang couldn't take it out - otherwise she would have detoxified herself long ago.

So whether it was for his family or his own life, Ding Yanyu had to obey Xie Gu's orders.

Allowing Ding Yanyu to retire and return to his hometown is also a promise made by Xie Gu. Ding Yanyu has been greedy for so many years. If he really wants to prove his crime, he can copy it directly, but Xie Gu wants to keep him for Wan Chenglinlang. He told the young master that he had given the poison, so there should be some sweetness, so the phrase "returning to old age" means that Xie Gu agreed to spare his life.

Although he still lost his job, it was better than losing his life.

So both parties were very happy. Ding Yanyu was happy that he saved his life, and Xie Gu was happy that the expense of Gongziyan could finally be settled. Although he said the case of deducting Gongziyan, after all, he was in the palace. It is impossible not to spend Xiegu own money to support.

And if nothing else, Wan Zhai Linlang, the family and the family, will not stay in the palace - these mouths to eat, the emperor's head is bald.

…

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, rumors spread among the people about the leak of the Chunwei test questions. Many people, officials and even ministers jointly signed a letter to request a thorough investigation. In the end, the emperor was furious and summoned officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple overnight to look for a thorough investigation.

Then on the second day, the eighth day of the third lunar month, the emperor dismissed Zaochao and went to the capital’s yamen to ascend the hall in person. Fifteen examiners in charge of spring festivals all went there, and several high-level officials attended the audition. The city army was brought to the scene, and there were countless people watching.

In the public eye, all the residences of Juzi were searched, and after comparing the same items, there were actually several notes with the same articles!

However, at this time, Ding Yanyu, one of the examiners, the Minister of Officials, stood up, holding an imperial decree, and bluntly stated that the leak of the examination questions was non-existent.

The so-called test questions for the same articles are actually not the topics of this spring festival at all.

Standing in the hall, Ding Yanyu first bowed to Xie Gu, who was in the presiding position, and then turned to the people and ordinary people who were watching outside. Your Majesty's and I's idea! The imperial examination is the most important matter of the country, and it must not be neglected.

He picked up a note with a so-called essay on exam questions, and said, "Everyone, please read this essay, there are five sentences in the middle, and the first word at the beginning of each sentence, when linked together, is 'No one can stand without trust'. This is the hidden head mark specially made by His Majesty, just to catch these untrustworthy and virtuous people!"

Then Ding Yanyu took out another list: "This is the list of those who tried to bribe me. It was submitted to Your Majesty yesterday, and today I was raised in the yamen to punish those who violated the fairness of the examination. , a traitor who has damaged the foundation of the country!"

Xie Gu also took out the book from his sleeve and handed it directly to the Minister of Punishment: "Read it."

The Minister of Punishment immediately accepted it respectfully, and then read out the names one by one.

Every time he recited one, one of them was escorted to the hall by the soldiers of the city moat.

There are thousands of people who participated in the Spring Festival this year. After the last name was pronounced, there were nearly a hundred people who were escorted to the hall to kneel!

This is quite a terrifying proportion!

Xie Gu looked at these gestures, and then sneered: "Do you know the guilt?"

The emperor sat high in the hall, his coercion dissipated, and the evidence was so conclusive that he could not refute it, so he quickly got down and cried bitterly: "The villain pleads guilty! The villain knows his fault! Your Majesty spare your life. !"

Xie Gu said, "How can this matter be bypassed when I say it is bypassed? The state-owned legal family has family rules, and it is not something I can shake. Come here, put them in jail, and make sure to judge as soon as possible!"

The Minister of Punishment hurriedly knelt down and took orders.

Xie Gu's eyes were cold and stern and swept around the standers who were still standing: "I know, I am afraid that the people who are thinking are not only those who are kneeling now, such as these articles, some of them were not found from their residences. , but I don't want to wrong anyone, so the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will investigate more carefully, you can take the exam with peace of mind, the guilty will not be spared, but the innocent will not be wronged!"

Many people hurriedly knelt down and thanked them.

Then Xie Gu said again: "The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be shaken. It is dangerous to use fake test questions to test people's hearts. If one accidentally leaks the news, it will be light if you can't find someone who violates the law and no virtue. , in case it is used by people with intentions to incite it, it may really shake the country's capital!"

He slapped a piece of paper on the case and said angrily, "So I didn't intend to make this public, but rumors about it were widespread, and it was obvious that there were people with bad intentions who spread rumors among the people, so I had to make a big fuss. , I summoned several Ai Qing last night, and thoroughly investigated the palace, and finally found this traitorous villain!"

"Come here! Bring Nie Yan up!" he said, "I want to ask him carefully, what is he going to do with such careful planning?!"

The author has something to say: Finished! !
