The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Du Chengmei received twenty court sticks and was carried back to the Grand Master's Mansion in the middle of the night.

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the execution, was in the way of Du Qianren's affection, and his subordinates kept their sense of proportion, but the delicate and fleshy Du Chengmei had never been beaten like this before, and she kept howling all the way, so that everyone in the capital knew that he was Du The son was beaten.

That night, the Grand Master's mansion was in chaos, the servants crowded the whole room, finally waited until the doctor came to help Du Chengmei finish the medicine, and Du Qianren finally returned to the mansion.

Du Qianren didn't change his official uniform, and went directly to Du Chengmei's residence. The noisy room suddenly became silent.

Du Qianren said with a sullen face, "Everyone get out, and no one is allowed to come in without my order."

But in an instant, the wives, aunts, maids and servants in the room all left. Du Chengmei felt that she had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to look at her father with a guilty conscience. Way."

Du Qianren looked around the room, took a feather duster casually, rolled up his sleeves and gave Du Chengmei a hard slap on the back, angrily said: "How dare you? It's the imperial examination! How dare you help an idiot cheat and let him Become the number one scholar! You think you have lived too long, don't you?"

Du Chengmei wailed in pain, and cried: "I've done everything, what's the use of talking about it now? Dad, you have to find a way to help me hide the matter from the past. Don't you have the heart to see your son sent to the army? Did the head fall to the ground?"

Du Qianren threw the feather duster in his hand to the ground, and said angrily, "Tell me, what's going on!"

Du Chengmei is notoriously greedy. Relying on his father's influence, he has always been used to committing crimes in the capital. How could he let go of such a profitable scientific research?

Originally, Du Chengmei was just buying relationships and helping some candidates who had given money to cheat in the examination. Du Qianren also knew about this, and there were quite a few people who came to him to buy an official with money, so he just turned a blind eye. I closed my eyes and let my son go.

But what Du Qianren didn't know was that on the day before the palace examination, someone suddenly sent a message to Du Chengmei, saying that he knew the questions of the palace examination and could sell him the questions for 3000 taels of silver.

Du Chengmei was skeptical at first, how could ordinary people know the questions of the imperial examination?But the man also said that he can give the questions first, and wait until the palace exam is over. If it is confirmed that the questions he gave are true, Du Chengmei can give the money later.

Du Chengmei thought that he would not be at a loss, so he believed the man's words. After getting the test questions, he immediately asked four old gentlemen who had studied stereotyped writing for decades to write an article to ask them out, and then gave the few who bribed him A candidate said that whoever bids the most, he will guarantee that he will enter the first class!

Jinshi and rank, in ancient times, this was such a glorious thing, not to mention entering the officialdom in the future, as long as you can make money, spending this little money now is nothing at all.

In the end, of course, it was Chen Zirong who offered the highest price. Du Chengmei bribed a curtain official who was in charge of the invigilation of the palace examination. When the papers were collected, he quietly changed Chen Zirong's papers.

In order to prevent Chen Zirong from revealing his ignorant nature at the Qionglin Banquet, Du Chengmei also specially taught him to get drunk on purpose first, so as not to show his embarrassment when others made him compose poems.

Originally, everything was well planned and everything went smoothly, but who would have thought that Feng Jiping would rush out in the end?

What's more, he didn't expect that the little emperor was not easy to be fooled, and he even revealed Chen Zirong's secrets in a few words.

This time the man entered the imperial prison, and with Du Chengmei's ability, he couldn't hold back any longer, so he could only beg Du Qianren to help him find a way.

When Du Qianren heard what Du Chengmei said, he frowned and asked, "How much money did you charge?"

Du Chengmei faltered and said: "Not much, only ten or one hundred thousand taels."

Du Qianren stared at his son, who was not up to date, and his teeth were itching with hatred, "10 taels? Just 10 taels, you dare to risk your life to gamble? Well, now that someone has reported it, where is Jin Yiwei's jail?" ? Within a day, that idiot will definitely recruit everything, and if you are confessed by then, how many heads do you have enough to be chopped off?"

In fact, Du Chengmei didn't dare to tell his father the truth, that Chen Zirong's family is a well-known richest man in a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to the 10 taels of silver bills, he opened his mouth like a lion, and also took in three beautiful concubines and a box of antique treasures.

"That's why I want you to help my son find a way. Dad, you are the chief assistant and you are the grand master. As long as you show up, will Liu Chengyi not give you face?" Du Chengmei lay on the bed, reaching for Du Qianren's clothes, He said sadly, "As long as Chen Zirong dies, they will have no evidence to prove his death, and they will not be able to find me!"

Du Qianren sneered and said: "It's easy for you to say. Liu Chengyi is a dog of Dongchang, not mine. I'm afraid he may not listen to what I say."

Du Chengmei said with a sad face: "Then what should I do? Is it possible that I can only go to Guo Jiuchen, that dead eunuch? It's really aggrieved to say that Guo Jiuchen is just a stray dog. Why should I sit on an equal footing with my father? Even Jin Yiwei is obedient to him from!"

"Don't stop talking! When will you understand the truth that misfortune comes from your mouth?" Du Qianren interrupted Du Chengmei's complaint with a low drink, "I ask you, who sold you the imperial examination questions?"

Du Chengmei said reassuringly: "We traded in a restaurant, and the man talked to me through the screen, so I didn't see his real face, and I don't know who he is."

After hearing this, Du Qianren was even more angry. He picked up the feather duster on the ground and swung it down on Du Chengmei's back, "How could I, Du Qianren, give birth to such a fool like you! Do you know that you fell into someone's trap?" ?! You are a money-hungry thing! Why don't I kill you right now! I won't hurt my Du family!"

Du Chengmei was immediately beaten and rolled around on the bed, begging for mercy: "Father, I am your only son, if you beat me to death, the Du family will never be seen again!"

Du Qianren slapped Du Chengmei more than a dozen times before he stopped, his beard was crooked in anger.

Du Chengmei, in her 30s, was crying with snot and tears on her face, "Father, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again next time! Please think of a way to save your son, please, Dad." !"

After all, it was his own son, no matter how angry Du Qianren was, he couldn't just watch his son die. Moreover, the person who set a trap for Du Chengmei was most likely targeting him.

From selling palace exam questions to Du Chengmei, to Feng Jiping reporting Chen Zirong for cheating at the Qionglin banquet, what happened was too coincidental, obviously someone was manipulating and plotting all of this behind the scenes.

Who did it?

Du Qianren patted his chest to calm down, and a cold light flashed in his shrewd eyes, "I'm afraid that Chen Zirong won't last long in the imperial prison."

Du Chengmei looked terrified: "Then what should I do? Chen Zirong will definitely confess me! If the emperor finds out, he will definitely kill me!"

Du Qianren said slowly: "At this point, I can only give up my father's old face. In the morning tomorrow, I will go to the palace to beg the queen mother myself."

Du Chengmei nodded excitedly as if she had grasped the last straw, "Yes! You can ask the Queen Mother! Father, you are the most important subject of the Queen Mother. In your favor, the Queen Mother will definitely forgive me!"

Du Qianren threw the feather duster in his hand on Du Chengmei, "Shut up! From today onwards, I want you to shut up in your room and think about your mistakes. You are not allowed to go anywhere without my order. Do you hear me?!"

Du Chengmei endured the pain in her back and butt, crawled and rolled into the bed, nodded her head in fright, "I heard it! I heard it!"

—

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, until the second day, at the Qionglin Banquet last night, the news that the new top scholar was reported for cheating and sent to prison spread throughout the capital, and it became the topic of conversation among ordinary people after dinner.

This morning, Du Qianren left the Grand Master's Mansion before dawn, entered the palace as soon as the palace gate opened and went straight to Shou'an Palace.

When Shen Ying slowly woke up, she heard the news from the Shouan Palace that the gate of the Shouan Palace was closed, and Du Qianren and the Queen Mother had been talking inside for an hour, and now Du Qianren came out. After leaving the Shou'an Palace, the Empress Dowager summoned Guo Jiuchen again, but she didn't know what she said.

Shen Ying ate breakfast, and after listening to the little eunuch's report, she sneered silently, what else could she say, she just wanted to keep Du Qianren's bastard son.

What surprised him was that Guo Jiuchen, the palm print eunuch, was said to have a close relationship with the cabinet, but Chen Zirong was guarded by Jin Yiwei in the imperial prison, but Du Qianren didn't go directly to Guo Jiuchen for help, but chose to alarm the queen mother. Does it mean that the relationship between Du Qianren and Guo Jiuchen is actually not as strong as imagined?

That's right, how could a dignitary like Du Qianren who was born as a scholar-bureaucrat really look up to eunuchs.

If Du and Guo are really at odds with each other, then it will be fun in the future.

In Shou'an Palace, Shoufu left, and Dongchang Changgong entered again. It was very busy with people coming and going, how could he, who is the emperor, not join in?

Shen Ying put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Speaking of which, it may be a long time since I went to the Shouan Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Come, come and drive to the Shouan Palace."

Wan Zhongquan was about to arrange for people to follow, but Shen Ying waved his hand to stop him, "You don't have to go with me, you go out of the palace to visit Beizhen Fusi, ask Liu Chengyi how the trial of Chen Zirong is going, come back and tell me. "

Wan Zhongquan is Du Qianren's eyeliner, so naturally he can't be allowed to listen to some words.

Shen Ying simply brought a few court ladies and eunuchs to drive to Shou'an Palace, and the guard of honor was kept simple, so there was not much commotion along the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the long street next to the west wall of Shou'an Palace, he vaguely heard two men talking on the other side of the wall, and one of them had a voice that Shen Ying was quite familiar with.

Shen Ying stopped calmly, turned her head and waved her hands twice to signal the maids and eunuchs following behind to step back, then held her breath and listened to the corner of the wall with her ears focused.

"Our family has received this generous gift you gave to our family, but what our family doesn't understand is that you and I have never had any contact, so why would Young Master think of giving this favor to our family?"

"Gu is now in Jinyiwei, and he has to rely more on the support of the factory owner in everything. What I did today is not a human gift at all. It is just a matter of solving problems for the factory owner as a subordinate. It is a matter of my duty."

Shen Yingyintang jumped around, and already guessed who the two people talking in the wall were, one was Guo Jiuchen, and the other... was Gu Min.

The two of them actually colluded? !

Guo Jiuchen said: "Gu Shaojun is self-effacing, you are now a celebrity around the Holy One, and your future is boundless, why do you need our family to support you?"

Gu Min said: "The Holy Majesty is young and his temperament is uncertain. Although I am favored for a while, this favor may not last for a long time. When the emperor has other favorite ministers by his side, the only thing Gu can rely on is you, the factory owner." What's more, because of my adoptive father, Du Qianren and I have long been in the same situation. Helping the factory owner to bring him down is helping myself. I only hope that the factory owner will hold great power in the future, and I can look at today's situation. , take care of Gu Mou."

Guo Jiuchen chuckled twice: "Okay! Gu Shaojun knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. Our family appreciates talents like you! Don't worry, since you are willing to follow our family, our family will not treat you badly. We will not treat you badly in the case of King Pingyang. The family will order Beizhen Fusi to expedite the trial, and I believe that it will not be long before King Pingyang can return to the fief safely."

Gu Min gratefully said: "Thank you, Mr. Factory!"

There was gradually no movement inside the wall, but Shen Ying felt the blood in her body cool down little by little.

It turned out that he didn't suspect the wrong person. Gu Min really leaked the palace examination questions, and it was Gu Min and Guo Jiuchen who jointly tricked Du Qianren!

Shen Ying clenched her teeth tightly, anger and coldness flashed alternately in her gloomy phoenix eyes, Gu Junshu, you are really scheming with good intentions, how dare you treat me like a fool!Although I know that you are not a good person, at least you should have some bottom line. I didn't expect you to dare to touch the imperial examination!

After a while, Shen Ying restrained the anger in her heart, turned around slowly and walked back, calmly said to the eunuchs and maids who followed: "No one is allowed to spread the news about my visit to Shou'an Palace today, otherwise, I want other people, heads, falls, and ground."
