Imperial Exam Daily

A few days later, at the end of September, there was a heavy rain and the weather turned cooler.

However, the court was full of turmoil. Sun Cheng was imprisoned. Sun Liaoran, who was not easy to get the favor of Emperor Wen, pleaded for his family, claiming that Sun Cheng was wronged, and secretly said that the emperor was unkind. The power is extremely difficult, if the Song family ignores it, it must be hopeless.

Although Sun Cheng was imprisoned, his tone was extremely strict. So far, he has not disclosed who gave the test questions for the township examination.

Song Tingyou played Emperor Wen, thinking that the case should be closed here, and an explanation should be given to the imperial examination candidates all over the world as soon as possible. There are already rumors among the people, and there are always different opinions. Confidence in scientific research.

However, just as the memorial took the first step, Xue Yinsheng followed closely behind, singing a rivalry with Song Tingyou earnestly. Now that the two sides are in conflict, Yang Ye sits and watches the tigers fight with great peace of mind. Said that on the way back to Beijing, he encountered gangsters again, and he had lingering fears, so he asked Emperor Wen for a few days' leave.

The gangster who intended to rob the prisoner was never caught, and there were many doubts, which made Dali Temple dare not close the case easily.

Yang Ye has vacations and has someone to clean up the house for him, so he is really free.

It just so happened that in the past two days, Yang Cheng asked someone to bring a lot of lemons from the county to the capital. The lemon trees planted in the past continued to expand, and a large area has grown in the past, and this year they have harvested a lot.

It’s rare to go to court, so Yang Ye and Axi made lemon chicken feet at home again. This time, they also made pickled pepper flavored ones. With refreshing mixed vegetables, I always feel that the taste is not good without the staple food. Seeing that he seldom cooks or eats since he came to Beijing, he got excited and asked his servants to prepare some meat for barbecue at night.

The two of them always lacked some flavor when eating, so they invited friends from Beijing and Central China to have a small gathering together.

There were a lot of people, so we built a stove directly in the yard, built a long iron plate, Yang Ye sliced ​​beef and mutton, Axi marinade, because there are lemons, we also made a special sour dipping sauce, and lemon juice to relieve greasy.

The guests came one after another, Wen Han and Li Cheng were the first to come, both of them brought their wives, it was no longer a gathering once or twice, and everyone was at ease, seeing that they were making fresh food, it looked strange, and each They all went to help.

Dai Lin and Shizi came later with their children.

Que Zhe saw that the house was bustling with activity, and after having fun in the yard for a while, he ran to the door to wander around again, just in time to see Dai Lin leading Zhou Yunqi and the eldest son together, and Que Zhe grabbed the door and called for someone.

Dai Lin entered the door, hugged Quinzhe very happily, and then said to Zhou Yunqi: "Go and play with Quinzhe."

Children at this age don't have a particularly good memory, and they don't recognize people if they don't see each other for a long time. But Que Zhe and Zhou Yunqi met each other when they were babies. When they were able to crawl, they crawled together and learned to walk together. Naturally Is to clearly remember each other.

The two haven't seen each other for a few days. Que Zhe completely forgot that the last time they crawled on the same small bed, they wanted to kick them out of the bed because they disliked each other's occupation of space. In the end, they scratched each other's faces and cried out, At the moment, he enthusiastically went to hold Zhou Yunqi: "Give me the big daddy, little wooden horse, sit on it, go sit on it."

The children only spoke a few words, and the adults could only half-listen and half-guess, and they didn't know if Zhou Yunqi understood what Yang Quenzhe meant. In short, the two happily went into the house dragging their calves. tripped.

At night, many lanterns were lit in the yard, which was very bright. It didn't feel too hot to be around the charcoal stove after the rain. It was very pleasant to eat barbecue in pairs and talk about some strange things.

The chicken feet were finished halfway, and Axi went to make up some. The princess, Dai Lin, and Jiang Juanxin were clamoring to learn how to make them.

At the end, each family brought some lemons back home.

Seeing that the wives of each family ran to the kitchen, Shizi said with a smile: "Ah Lin is only virtuous for a moment when he meets Ah Xi. How can he learn how to cook on weekdays?"

Several people all smiled.

After a few days, there was a sudden turning point in the matter of leaking the scientific examination questions. Sun Cheng, who had been refusing to confess, actually revealed Song Tingyou. Emperor Jiwen Longyan was furious, and sent Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the Song family. Song Tingyou was also arrested. Temporarily placed under custody.

Things turned around too quickly, Yang Ye was about to find out what was the reason, Ji Chong, who was acquainted with Dali Siqing, first told him the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the case of Sun Cheng had not been settled for a long time, and those related to the matter were in a state of panic. Seeing that Sun Liaoran had lost power in the palace, they all sought out Song Tingyou. Si met Sun Cheng in secret, and then sent poison to Sun Cheng, threatening Sun Cheng to kill himself.

Sun Cheng has been favored by the Song family for many years. Originally, he gritted his teeth tightly and never confessed to the Song family. He just hoped that Song Tingyou would help the Sun family out of affection. Unexpectedly, Song Yiyu wanted to send him on the road. How could he be willing to be accused of committing suicide in fear of crime? Song Yiyu told Sun Cheng that Sun Liaoran was grounded because he wanted to threaten Sun Cheng. Knowing that his daughter was also trapped, Sun Cheng was even more annoyed, and confessed in a fit of anger.

Presumably Emperor Wen also had some speculations about the Song family's affairs. Song Tingyou entered Dali Temple before, and the investigators obtained evidence that the Song family leaked the scientific examination questions and pocketed nearly 10 taels of silver. And the Song family sells titles and only sells them to wealthy businessmen in remote counties, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is really not easy to detect.

"I didn't expect Song Tingyou to be so bold."

Yang Ye guessed that the main reason for Song Tingyou's daring to be so bold was that he lost the rich man of the Li family. Without the protective film of the Li family, the stores managed by Song Yiyu have repeatedly lost money in recent years. The Song family's huge family business does not have enough property to support it. Although it is not easy to collapse for a while, it will inevitably be full of loopholes after a long time. If you want to plug these loopholes, Had to find another place to put money in.

But right now, if he wants to get more money quickly, he has to make an opening from the imperial examination. It just so happens that the emperor focuses on the military examination, and the attention to the imperial examination will be reduced accordingly. It's rare, but it's a pity that he never expected to lose to a diving scholar, so he followed the clues and was thrown out of his nest.

Now that Song Tingyou has been imprisoned, Yang Ye has no reason to let him toss around, otherwise he will waste all his troubles and miss the good opportunity to bring down the Song family.

Together with Tan Shengchang, he confessed that he was assassinated in the Jiangnan disaster relief incident, but no one was caught in the robbery incident. Because of the similar tactics, Dali Temple naturally blamed Song Tingyou for the crime, and punished him heavily for several crimes. The family ransacked the house, handed out the Ninggu Pagoda, Sun Cheng copied and beheaded, Sun Liaoran was thrown into limbo......

Overnight, the building collapsed, and the once-prominent Song family and its party members were uprooted, and the court was in turmoil. This was the first time since Emperor Jiwen ascended the throne that he punished high-ranking officials in the court. Emperor Ji Wen was more obedient than before.

On the day the Song family was ransacked, Yang Ye took Axi to watch the fun, and the servants of the Song family were dismissed one by one. The servants carrying burdens left the mansion in a hurry. Taking up several large boxes, not to mention gold, silver and jewellery, the Song family has been prominent in the previous dynasty, and the family fortune for many years has made people feel embarrassed. I don't know how much of it is from corruption.

After the huge Song Mansion was evacuated, it was very empty and even more desolate.

Song Tingyou took off his court clothes and stayed in the prison for many days. Now his face is haggard, his hair has not been tied up, and he looks like he is ten years old. He still has the high spirited appearance of the past. Yang Ye inadvertently remembered the scene when he saw Song Tingyou for the first time , brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, not angry but mighty, placed on a high position, not angry but mighty.

"The old man has been in the officialdom for many years, but he never thought that he would lose to you, a little brat in the end! The Song family is really dead!"

Seeing Yang Ye standing outside the mansion, Song Tingyou's eyes were full of resentment.

"Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death. If Mr. Song does not commit adultery and crimes, who can touch the Song family?" Yang Ye chuckled: "If we had tried in the past, Mr. Song would not have been so ruthless, and there will be no relationship between you and me." will get to where it is today.”

Song Tingyou stared and took a step forward: "I wish I didn't get to know you when I was in Jiangnan!"

Yang Ye embraced A Xi and backed away a little: "The petty official has a big fate, and I disappointed the lord."

Song Tingyou noticed the little brother beside Yang Ye, and raised his eyebrows: "You...you are..."

Ah Xi saluted: "Uncle Song, I haven't seen you for many years, but these years have been fine."

"Xue Zixiang, it's you! You're not dead!" Song Tingyou suddenly laughed: "Your father was at the same level as the old man in the past, and was suppressed to leave the capital. Now he dares to return to Beijing with his face licked, and dare to openly oppose the old man. It turns out that there is a son-in-law to help!"

"This statement is wrong. The grievances and grievances between the small official and Mr. Song are separate from Mr. Xue. As for the coincidence, it is because Mr. Song is so powerful that he recommended Mr. Xue's favorite jewel to go to the Bata Department and let Mr. Xue Separation of flesh and blood."

Song Tingyou narrowed his eyes slightly: "You did it!"

"Master Xue is referring to the matter of proposing with the emperor to confer the title of princess, or is it the matter of the leader of the Bata Department liking plump women?"

Song Tingyou's beard trembled and he breathed heavily: "Yang Ye! This old man really underestimated you!"

"Lord Song, don't get angry. You have to take care of yourself. Ninggu Pagoda is a cold place with high mountains and far away rivers. It is no better than the capital. If you are not in good health, it will be difficult..."

The officers and soldiers who had finished raiding the house came forward: "Master Yang, this subordinate should send the prisoner on his way."

Yang Ye nodded.

Song Tingyou was escorted away first, and Song Yiyu, who was escorted behind, saw Axi and yelled in shock: "Zixiang!"

"What are you doing! Let's go!" The soldier held back the person who wanted to run towards Axi, Song Yiyu twisted his head and looked at Axi: "Zixiang, I just want to ask you a question, just a question!"

Ah Xi glanced at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye patted Axi's head: "Go."

Ah Xi walked up to Song Yiyu: "What do you want to say?"

Song Yiyu looked at the picturesque person in front of him, his eyes were red: "Zixiang, do you still like me?"

Ah Xi frowned and smiled: "Children's friendship, what do you like about it? I never had any other thoughts, but it was all arranged by the elders. We only had a marriage contract, not because I fell in love with you."

Song Yiyu's face froze, as if he couldn't bear the blow, he staggered two steps and nearly fell, but the soldiers held him back just in time.

Looking at the members of the Song family going away, Yang Ye took Axi's hand and walked back: "This Song Yiyu really knows how to be affectionate."

When the Song family fell, everyone relaxed a lot, and Yang Ye felt even more at ease. The thorns that had been stuck in the soles of his feet since he entered Beijing were removed now, and he always felt that something was missing.

When Ji Chong talked to him about the robbery, Dali Temple did not obtain strong evidence, but in order to close the case as soon as possible, this matter was only mixed up with the many things committed by the Song family and handed over to Emperor Ji Wen. Outsiders did not know, but Ji Chong did not Yes, he knew that he was worried that there were people behind the leakage of imperial examination questions.

Yang Ye said: "The person who robs the prisoner will not be sent by the Song family. At that time, the Song family had already leaked the exam questions and the county magistrate was arrested. If he directly sent someone to rob the prisoner, the risk would be too great. Once he was arrested, wouldn't it be true for him? It's the truth about the mastermind, how could Song Tingyou take such a big risk because he is old and cunning."

"If I'm not mistaken, those people who robbed the prisoners should have been arranged by Xue Yinsheng."

Ji Chong didn't understand, so he asked, "What does he want to do?"

"Back then Xue Linlang was conferred the title of Princess Heding, and it was recommended by Song Tingyou. The two had enmity in the previous dynasty because of Axi's incident. Now that they have a new and old enmity, Xue Yinsheng will naturally make trouble, otherwise he would rob the prisoner that day. When the bandits came, how could we not have a single soldier injured.”

Ji Chongdao: "Now that the Song family is gone, Xue Yinsheng must not keep him in the capital. If he knows acquaintances, he should leave the capital by himself. If he doesn't know acquaintances, don't blame the old man for being ruthless."

Yang Ye looked at Ji Chong, but didn't answer. Xue Yinsheng is not a good person who keeps his own place. He treats Ah Xi extremely coldly. It would not be easy to drive Xue Yinsheng out of the capital.

Xue Linlang married far away from the frontier, Emperor Ji Wen would have some concern for the Xue family, and now Xue Yinsheng is helping to push him to the Song family, and he is a hero in the eyes of the emperor, and he can't even openly talk to Xue Yin. life against.
