Lord of Fortune

The prefect of Chu did not express any position on the matter of Chu Chen's arrest, and it seemed that he was not going to take care of this son anymore.

Mrs. Chu sent someone to contact the invigilator, suggesting to the invigilator that people like Chu Chen must be severely punished so that he can truly understand his fault.

The invigilator accepted the heavy gift sent by Mrs. Chu, and said with a righteous face: "Madam, don't worry, even if the wife doesn't tell me, I will do it."

Three days later, the invigilator publicly interrogated Chu Chen.Many people paid attention to this matter, and those students who didn't know the truth were filled with righteous indignation, wanting to see what would happen to Chu Chen; while those who believed in Chu Chen were quite worried about this matter.

If Chu Chen's charges are confirmed, then it's not just a matter of this exam.The invigilator will invite his superiors, deprive him of his fame, and prohibit him from taking the imperial examination for life.

On this day, Xu Jiaxin came to the scene early and talked happily with her aunt, Mrs. Chu.

Chu Chen had caused Xu Jiaxin to lose face so many times, this time, Xu Jiaxin was very excited at the thought of being able to see Chu Chen's misfortune with his own eyes.

After seeing Han Mengqin, Xu Jiaxin even cast a mocking look at her.

Han Mengqin didn't even bother to give her a look at this kind of villain who gets carried away as soon as he succeeds.At this moment, Han Mengqin's attention was on Mrs. Chu who had a gentle smile on her face.

Xu Jiaxin's unpleasantness is clearly shown in front of everyone, but Mrs. Chu's badness is secretly hidden in her bones.

If it wasn't for this time, Mrs. Chu personally set up such a game to deal with Chu Chen.Han Mengqin probably never thought that Mrs. Chu could do such a thing!

"What is Miss Han looking at me like that for?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"There is a sentence, I am going to give it to Mrs. Chu. If you want people to know, you have to do it yourself."

After saying this, Han Mengqin turned around and walked to a place far away from them as if he didn't want to stay with them for a moment.

Mrs. Chu pondered Han Mengqin's words carefully, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually expanded.

After a while, the invigilator appeared, and Chu Chen was also brought up.

Only scholars have the privilege of not kneeling when they meet officials. Although Chu Chen is in prison, his reputation as a scholar has not been removed, so he did not kneel when he met the invigilator.

Because of the previous incident, Chu Chen was quite wary of the invigilator, and he really didn't have much respect.

The invigilator didn't like Chu Chen, but now seeing him being so rude in front of him, his dislike for him increased.

"Chu Chen, you bribed this official by using servants, and you refused to repent after being rejected by this official, and then sent someone to come to this official. Are you guilty?"

"No! Someone is framing me, why should I admit it?"

"You said someone framed you, but what evidence is there?"

"Of course there is evidence. Before providing the evidence, I have a question to ask you, sir. You said that my servant bribed you. How much money did he use to bribe you?"

"Don't you know how much money you sent someone to give to this official?"

"Of course I don't know, because I didn't send someone to send that silver at all. However, after this incident, I sent someone to check it—it's 200 taels of silver in total, right?" Chu Chen said lightly. .

200 taels of silver is a lot for the poor family, but not too much for the Chu family.

Who doesn't know that the Chu family has accumulated a lot of wealth through several generations of single heirs, and when the two Mrs. Chu married into the Chu family, they all brought a generous dowry.

"I'll ask you again, you said that you didn't bribe me with the money, do you have evidence?" The proctor guessed that Chu Chen had no strong evidence in his hands, so he just wanted to close the case as soon as possible and convict Chu Chen .

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen said: "Evidence, of course there is. My monthly expenses in the mansion are only two taels of silver. May I ask where did I get the 200 taels of silver to bribe you, the proctor?"

Chu Chen's words caused an uproar among the students, and everyone couldn't believe it. As the son of the magistrate, how could it be possible for Chu Chen to only have two taels of silver every month!

Many officials' children have to go out to socialize, even ten or twenty taels of silver per month may not be enough for them to spend.

Chu Chen could see the surprised and unbelievable looks of the others.

He hooked the corners of his lips and said sarcastically: "My wife said that men need to be poor and girls need to be rich, so the money given to me every month is very limited. My mother's dowry is now also in the hands of my wife." It can also be found out for 'keeping' on behalf of it. I can't possibly have money to 'bribe-bribe' your lord."

Of course, after Han Mengqin sold the flowers, he would secretly give him a lot of money every month.But this is not money on the surface, so there is no need to tell others.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Mrs. Chu with disbelief.

Usually, Mrs. Chu always showed her love for her stepson in front of people. If her stepson had any conflicts with others, she would definitely apologize to others on behalf of her stepson immediately.Could it be that her motherly face is actually fake?

Mrs. Chu was very uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, but after all, she is also a person with a strong heart, and she will not be confused because of Chu Chen's few words.

"It's said that a stepmother is hard to do, and it's not too light or too heavy. The master said to give you five taels of silver every month, and I don't want to pay more, lest people outside suspect that I intend to spoil you." Mrs. Chu said without hesitation. The matter was all pushed to Chu Zhifu.

For some things, it is inevitable that people would suspect that she is treating Chu Chen harshly if she does it, but it is normal for the prefect of Chu to do it in the eyes of outsiders.After all, Chu Chen is the eldest son of the prefect of Chu, and it is reasonable for the prefect of Chu to be strict with him.

"As for your mother's dowry, the master was afraid that your child's family would be ruined, so I let me keep it for you. I didn't expect you to suspect that I was greedy for your mother's dowry... As long as the master agrees, you I will return your mother's dowry to you immediately!"

"Hey, if you are short of money, you can tell your family, how can you steal the money from the family? And you stole the money from the family, or you are doing it to cheat so that you can get admitted to Juren as soon as possible. Tell me, how can you steal the money from the family? Are you worthy of the master who has placed high hopes on you?"

"The family has lost 200 taels of silver. I haven't told the master until now. I'm afraid that the master will know and affect your father-son relationship, so I have to find a random excuse and let the maid around me put it on the account. It's just me. Take it to spend..."

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Chu vividly played the role of a stepmother who worked so hard to raise her stepson, but was avenged by her stepson.

After hearing her words and seeing her crying so sadly, the people around all believed her words, and looked at Chu Chen with unkind eyes.

The co-author, Chu Chen, not only bribed the invigilator, but also was so unfilial to his parents?A person like him is not worthy of being a scholar!

"Madam's words are really sweet, but the invigilator received the bribe a few days ago, and you withdrew 200 taels of silver from the account half a month ago. No matter what, it doesn't make sense. In my hand There is an account book in the house, would my wife want to see it?"

When Mrs. Chu heard this, her expression changed slightly.

At this time, Han Mengqin came forward in front of the crowd: "The account book is here. Brother Chen wanted to bribe the invigilator, and Aunt Chu knew about it half a month ago, so she helped Brother Chen lay a 'cover' in advance." , it’s really predictable.”

The invigilator did not expect that apart from the evidence handed in to him, Chu Chen actually had another piece of evidence in his hand.

Looking at the ledger in his hand, he gradually frowned.

"By the way, there is also my little servant, Qing Sui. Don't you all say that I asked him to bribe the invigilator for me with money? Why don't you let him come out and confront me?"

Chu Chen's request was reasonable, and it was difficult for the invigilator to refuse. However, since the boy had betrayed Chu Chen, the invigilator did not believe that he would speak for Chu Chen.

"Bring that boy up here."

When the invigilator first arrested Qing Sui, he didn't think of making a big fuss about it, so Qing Sui didn't suffer much in prison.

However, I don't know if he was hit by something, but his spirit looks very bad.

As soon as he saw Chu Chen, he knelt down in front of Chu Chen: "Young master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken the money from my wife to help her frame you... But I can't help it, my family is here In her hands, if I don't agree, she will definitely not let my family go!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar.

The surrounding scholars and common people didn't believe that Mrs. Chu framed Chu Chen at first, but now they think that Mrs. Chu might really have something wrong.

"When was your wife threatened you? Why didn't you ask me for help immediately after you were threatened?" Chu Chen asked.

"The villain was threatened by his wife half a month ago. At that time, the wife sent people to surround the villain's house and threatened the villain. If he didn't do it immediately, he would attack the villain's family. The villain had no choice."

"Then why do you say it now? Are you not afraid that after you say these words, your wife will be unfavorable to your family?"

"The villain did something wrong to the young master, he felt very guilty towards the young master, and he didn't want to let the young master suffer unfair injustice. Besides, the villain didn't believe in his wife... Now the villain also wants to understand, no matter what the villain does, according to The wife's consistent approach will definitely silence the villain's family. If the truth of the matter is not revealed, the villain's family will be in real danger."

"The villain will put his words here today. If something happens to the villain's family recently, it must be the wife's fault!"

Mrs. Chu: "..."

This Qing Sui is also a cunning person, and he actually obtained the evidence that Mrs. Chu sent someone to control his family. Even the money he took from Mrs. Chu had Mrs. Chu's special mark on it.At the beginning, Mrs. Chu did this to prevent her family from being thieves, and wanted to make some marks on the silver for identification, but she did not expect that today it would become evidence for others to identify her!

Not only that, but Qing Sui also produced a lot of evidence to prove that Mrs. Chu had slandered Chu Chen many times before, and completely ruined Mrs. Chu's image of a kind stepmother. .

Mrs. Chu: "..." If Qing Sui's actions were not really at her behest, she would have suspected that Qing Sui and Chu Chen, the master and servant, had joined hands to set her up!

"Qing Sui is a betrayer, his words cannot be trusted!" Mrs. Chu was still dying.

But others don't believe her words much anymore.

"People may lie, but evidence cannot. This Mrs. Chu is really a femme fatale."

"It's unfortunate that Chu Chen has such a stepmother."

When Han Mengqin saw that everyone around him began to point fingers at Mrs. Chu, he also gave Chu Zhifu a knife.

"Speaking of which, when this incident first happened, Uncle Chu didn't even investigate, and directly convicted Brother Chen. When Brother Chen was being ridiculed, Uncle Chu earned a good reputation and got a big guy. My son's sympathy. If this is the case between father and son, how can you expect Aunt Chu, who is a stepmother, to treat elder brother Chen kindly?"

When everyone thinks about it, it is true.Although the stepmother is not a good thing, the real father is even less so.

At that time, the big guys believed that Chu Chen was really cheating so quickly, it was because Chu Chen's father, Chu Zhifu, personally admitted it!Now it seems... huh.

If the father really cared about his son, the stepmother might not dare to be so arrogant, and even framed his original wife's son in a fair and honest manner!

The prefect of Chu, who was dealing with official business and didn't come to watch the public trial, sneezed several times in a row, and couldn't help rubbing his nose: "Who is talking about me?"

"Invigilator, now that the evidence is conclusive, is it possible to announce the trial result?" Chu Chen looked at the invigilator firmly.

The invigilator was very upset about this.Obviously he was the one in charge of the trial of the case, but after Chu Chen made such an outburst, everything went according to Chu Chen's intention.

He originally thought that there was no evidence on Chu Chen's side, and it would be easy to deal with Chu Chen.He would agree to trial Chu Chen publicly just to ruin Chu Chen's reputation.But he didn't expect that from the beginning of this trial, everything has been out of his control.

The invigilator thought about it, but he was still unwilling to let Chu Chen pass the test.

"I heard that your knowledge is very good. Even if you don't go heresy, you can easily get admitted to Juren? Then I will come to test you!"

As he said that, the proctor posed several difficult questions to Chu Chen.

If Chu Chen can't answer any of these questions, he will inevitably be questioned as incompetent, and his life will also be suspected of being watery.

But in the end, no matter what questions the invigilator asked, Chu Chen could answer them fluently.

Many students who were not familiar with Chu Chen felt admiration for him now.

"He has such a talent and learning. It will be a matter of time before he wins the exam, right? Why bother to bribe the examiner?"

"That's right, he must have been framed by his stepmother! Mrs. Chu looked at her benevolent eyebrows, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious!"

The invigilator's action not only failed to make others suspect Chu Chen, but further cleared Chu Chen of suspicion.

For this result, he has nothing to do with it.

The author has something to say:
