When a dandy is face-blind [Rebirth]

Chapter 22 Fraud in the Imperial Examination

With a dark face, Qi Heng looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting on the bed, helplessness flashed in his eyes.

What made Gu Jiu think that he likes to kill people?

"The test questions were leaked, and Li Ningbai submitted a secret letter." Qi Heng explained.

"Li Ningbai is impatient." Gu Jiu sneered, rubbing his whip.

What Qi Heng didn't say was that the letter was detained by courtiers who had a good relationship with the Lin family, and he sent someone to put the letter on the emperor's case overnight.

After being hit by the whip, his arm started to feel hot and painful. Maybe it was because Gu Jiu just woke up and had no energy, so the pain was very weak.

Qi Heng didn't want to care about it at first, but when he caught sight of Gu Jiu's nonchalant appearance, he raised his arm in a strange way, and in that extremely flat tone, he uttered a word: "Pain."

Taking out a medicine bottle from under the pillow, Gu Jiu's eyes flickered, and hesitantly said: "Master, will you apply some medicine?" After speaking, a trace of guilt crossed his face.

"Yeah." Qi Heng pushed up his sleeves consciously, revealing a slender arm that implied strength, and there was a conspicuous red welt on it.

After taking out some ointment and smelling the cool smell, a strange excitement appeared in Gu Jiu's eyes, while Qi Heng's body froze when he smelled the smell, it was the smell of Jiubinglu.

Nine Ice Dew has a very good effect on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. After applying this medicine, not only will the wound not leave the slightest scar, but it will even be smoother than the original skin. An unbearable pain, like soaking in pepper water after sprinkling salt on the wound.

What's worth mentioning is that this medicine was made by the Yin clan when they were still in the world.

Seeing that Qi Heng didn't object, Gu Jiu wiped Jiubinglu on it, and smeared it on the warm arm with cool fingertips.

With a muffled snort, Qi Heng's complexion turned pale for a moment, and then returned to normal. The whip wound that didn't hurt so much at this moment started to hurt violently, as if there were many small ants crawling in the whip wound, which was painful and itchy. .

I really can bear it!Gu Jiu looked at Qi Heng in surprise, he could endure the pain so much that he couldn't stand the Jiu Binglu, unexpectedly Qi Heng just let out a muffled snort.

"Renren, the time for a cup of tea is enough." Gu Jiu put the bottle away with a smile, although he wanted to see Qi Heng's jokes, but he gave Qi Heng the best wound medicine in his hand. There is only this bottle left, and Emperor Cheng doesn't have much left.

"I should go back." Qi Heng's voice was a little hoarse, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Gu Jiu: "...it's time to go back."

At that moment, what Gu Jiu thought was that she didn't seem to have heard of Qi Heng marrying a wife in her previous life, no wonder she always came out in the middle of the night, it seems that the night is still so lonely!

At the same time, the lights in the palace were brightly lit, and everyone was trembling, not daring to breathe.

"I don't know, I don't know, it's been a few days? The scholars have finished their exams, and you haven't found out how the test questions were leaked?! Such a useless courtier, what use do I want?"

Emperor Sheng's majestic but cold voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

The courtiers kneeling on the ground in the main hall were all pale, with sweat on their foreheads, and some ministers' backs were already soaked, and it was only February, which had just passed the winter.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I have found some clues, but when the clues reached Prince Ning's Mansion - it was broken." Mr. Zhao, who investigated the matter, spoke in a lower voice, and the last two words were already very soft.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Everyone knew about Gu Jiu's bet with Lin Feng this time. If Gu Jiu pestered Emperor Sheng to take out the test questions in order not to lose, and framed Lin Feng, this...

Apparently, the ministers kneeling had conjectures in this regard. No one would think that Gu Jiu could really win against Lin Feng and use dirty tricks. This is what Gu Jiu should do, and maybe this time With Emperor Sheng's acquiescence, they dared not spread the word about it, but obviously because they couldn't find out who leaked the question, Emperor Sheng was already furious.

"You think it's Gu Jiu?" Emperor Cheng asked coldly.

"Your majesty is wise!" Besides Gu Jiu, who else in Prince Ning's mansion would frame Lin Feng?Can't be Shen Munan who is the beneficiary of the bet, right?

After all, the law does not blame the public, even if Emperor Sheng acquiesced, and now that this matter is spread out, Emperor Sheng can't blame them for this matter.

"If Xiao Jiu did such a thing in order not to lose the throne, why would he use the throne to gamble? You can be sure that it wasn't Lin Feng who was afraid of losing and would be ashamed to see others, so he made such a move to frame Xiao Jiu?" Inside and outside, it's all about defending Gu Jiu.

"This..." Those ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. If it was someone else, there would be such a possibility, but it was Gu Jiu.

Emperor Cheng snorted, his eyes were full of coldness, these courtiers were eating the salary of the court, but they didn't pay attention to handling things, they only investigated the case based on their opinion of a person, it seemed that it was time to clean up a batch of moths in the court.

"Has Lin Feng ever been interrogated?" Emperor Sheng said indifferently.

Hearing this, those ministers immediately fell to the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff, their complexions as dusty.

Lin Feng was safely in the prison, entertained with delicious food and drink, the number one talented person is well-known in the capital, and Lin Feng's personality is also well known in the capital, in their view, with Lin Feng's talent and learning, there is no need to cheat , someone must have framed him, so no one thought of interrogating Lin Feng.

Under the governance of Emperor Sheng these years, the whole week was peaceful, and there were very few major cases in the capital, which made them almost useless of their brains, but this time they got caught.

"Go back to the emperor, no, no."

A teacup rubbed against Mr. Zhao's ear and fell to the ground, the tea leaves splashed everywhere, and the teacup shattered to the ground with a "snap".

Master Zhao's ears were burning hot, he shook his body and dared not make a sound, and the others were so frightened that they were sweating profusely.

"Okay! Okay! I actually raised a group of you guys who eat nothing. It's only one day for you to find out, otherwise you won't want the head on your shoulder! Get out of here now!" Emperor Cheng slapped the table hard, furious Burning, also angry at myself for choosing these people in the first place.

Those courtiers hurriedly retreated, leaving only Emperor Cheng and An Yuan in the hall.

Sighing, Emperor Cheng's anger slowly dissipated, and he read the articles on the imperial case over and over again, all of which were answers to the Chunwei test questions, hit the nail on the head and had unique insights, Emperor Cheng couldn't put it down for these articles, his eyes were full of amazement .

"This little bastard is hiding it so tightly!" Emperor Cheng was both angry and happy. These articles were written by Gu Jiu in the examination room, but some of them were transcribed, not those written by Gu Jiu himself. .

An Yuan bowed his body and smiled: "Your Majesty, probably the young master is afraid that you will let him do things."

Thinking about Gu Jiu's temperament, Emperor Cheng sighed helplessly, it's not surprising that that brat did such a thing.

The long-awaited bet turned into an imperial examination fraud that made everyone feel insecure. For a while, the whole capital was filled with a tense atmosphere. The matter involved himself.

After being scolded by Emperor Cheng, the minister who was investigating the matter became vigorous and resolute. He first interrogated Lin Feng, and then arrested a few sellers who tricked scholars from other places into buying fake test questions. , Really let them catch a person who sells real test questions.

At dawn, Gu Jiutian asked the secret guards sent to monitor Lin Feng. The secret guards reported that Lin Feng hadn't read the test questions, but Li Ningbai's informant letter was about Lin Feng, and they were still in Lin Feng. The unfinished test questions were found in the wind house.

"Lin Feng is pure and noble, but it's a pity..."

"It's not a pity."

Gu Jiu raised his head to look at Qi Heng who was studying the formation, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any grudge against Lin Feng?"

"No." Qi Heng paused, looked at Gu Jiu, and said seriously: "But you have it with him."

His ears were a little hot, Gu Jiu looked away, looked at the purple bamboo forest, and said, "It's not really an enemy, but he disgusts me, and I also disgust him. Apart from this, he is not bad, but Shen Munan Slowed down."

His eyes were dark, and he seemed to have no intention of saying: "Then why don't you stop Shen Munan from buying test questions? Save him."

"How is that possible? The purpose of letting Shen Munan see the article written by the young master is to force Shen Munan to jump over the wall and make a bad move. How can he stop Shen Munan? In order to save a person who disgusts the young master, all the arrangements are in vain, young master It's not a fool." Gu Jiu rolled her eyes, ignoring Qi Heng's strangeness.

Qi Heng withdrew his gaze, his eyes returned to indifference.

"You and An Zirui—" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Master, something has happened!" Yan Tong's anxious voice came from far and near.

Gu Jiu threw the chess piece in his hand back into the jar, frowned, "Master, go back first, next time you will teach me."

"Yeah." Qi Heng replied, staring at the red figure who left in a hurry.

Seeing Gu Jiu leaving the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, Yan Tong rushed up to greet him, his face anxious, and whispered: "Master, Mr. Zhao is waiting for you in the palace."

"It's finally here." Gu Jiu squeezed the whip around her waist, a smile appeared on her delicate face, and her beautiful peach eyes were full of interest.

Seeing Gu Jiu's smile, Yan Tong hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Oh, my lord, how can you still laugh at this time, then Mr. Zhao obeyed the emperor's order to catch you."

In the past, no matter how big an official came to trouble Gu Jiu, Yan Tong was never in a hurry, because no matter what happened, Emperor Cheng would always protect Gu Jiu, but this time was different, Master Zhao was ordered by Emperor Cheng, Gu Jiu usually offended many people, if he was caught, what would happen now?Whether you can come out or not.

"What are you afraid of him doing? I haven't done anything wrong." Gu Jiu sneered and walked forward with a careless expression.

Yan Tong hurriedly followed, the anxiety and worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
