The return of the son of rebirth

Ye Yuchen threw the knife on the ground, with a look of disgust on his face, took out a towel to wipe his hands, and then threw the towel on the Shadow Guard's face.

"Ah Chun, let's go back."

Ah Chun worriedly said: "Sir, if we leave like this, Master Cai and Grand Master Li will definitely hate us to death, when the time comes..."

"Don't be afraid, I have my own tricks, and they will definitely not have the heart to deal with us." In the previous life, he was the son-in-law of the Cai family, and he knew more or less about the corruption of Master Cai and Taishi Li. As long as they dare to deal with them, He told Prince Rui these things, presumably Prince Rui must be very happy to hear those news.With Prince Rui and Li Taishi's discordant personalities, he will definitely investigate this matter to the end. Even if Li Taishi cannot be completely brought down, it is certain that Mr. Cai will not be an official, and he may even be imprisoned.

Seeing that he was so sure, Ah Chun let out a breath slowly.

Finally, the two returned to Zheng's house happily.When Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ye saw that they had returned safely, they were finally able to let go of their worries, and the brows between the two relaxed.

"Miss Cai didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Mrs. Ye asked anxiously.

Ye Yuchen smiled and said, "No, she just bought us a cup of tea."

"Really?" Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ye don't quite believe it, especially Mrs. Zheng. People in the capital have heard about what Cai Meiyan did. How could she just invite them to drink after losing such a big face? Tea.

"Really, don't worry."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Grandmother, mother, it's getting late, why haven't you started eating dinner yet?"

"I haven't seen you two come back safely, how can your mother and I have the heart to eat?" Mrs. Zheng said again, "It's just right for you to come. Someone will notify you and set up a family banquet immediately."

The Zheng family started eating lively.

At the Ye family, although Mrs. Ye was not happy that Ye Yuchen didn't come to have dinner with her, she was overjoyed when she found out that Miss Cai came to see Ye Yuchen again. It seems that Miss Cai really likes her grandson. There is still a little hope for marriage.

As for Cai Meiyan in the teahouse, she couldn't wait for the shadow guard's return. She wanted Xiao Taohong to check it out, but Xiao Taohong drank tea containing sweat medicine and fell asleep on the ground, unconscious.Cai Meiyan was anxious and angry, very impatient, so she had to go downstairs to find the driver of her own carriage, and asked him to take her back to Cai's house first, and then send someone to take Xiao Taohong back, and also sent someone to inquire about the shadow guards. whereabouts.

When it was midnight, Cai Meiyan got impatient with waiting and fell asleep.Not long after she fell asleep, his father's shadow guards found her shadow guards and brought them back.

When Mr. Cai saw these shadow guards had their tendons and hamstrings cut off, he was so angry that his beards flew upwards. He said angrily, "Who has the guts to hurt you like this?"

"Yes...it's Ye...Ye Yuchen." One of the shadow guards was still conscious, he said with difficulty.

After hearing this, Master Cai took three steps back in shock. He really didn't expect Ye Yuchen to attack so fiercely. He thought he was a frail scholar, but he didn't expect him to know martial arts. They all cut off their tendons and tendons, so this person must not be kept.

He immediately went to the study to draft how to convict Ye Yuchen of cheating in the exam.

The next day, he went to the Grand Master's Mansion early to inform Grand Master Li about the fact that the Shadow Guard had been cut off by Ye Yuchen, and planned to expose Ye Yuchen's "crime of cheating" in the court. He is ready to watch.Taishi Li was also very shocked by Ye Yuchen's behavior after hearing this. Cai Meiyan is his niece, and everyone knows about this.Ye Yuchen dared to do this after knowing it, it simply didn't take him seriously.So he nodded in approval of Mr. Cai's approach, and he will also help Ye Yuchen to do a lifetime of hard work when the time comes.

In the middle of the morning court, Mr. Cai was about to play, but the father-in-law outside brought a stack of papers to announce, and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor looked at the paper again, and his expression changed drastically.

The emperor Longyan was furious, and said: "Some examinees went to beat the drums to express their grievances, saying that they wanted to sue Cao Bingyi, the champion of the new examination, and several examiners of this examination, saying that you practiced favoritism, that the article written by Cao Bingyi was actually his Written by him, this is a joint certificate signed by tens of thousands of candidates."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court hall, and the examiners all felt guilty, especially the officials from the Ministry of Rites, and some even started to sweat on their foreheads.

"How can there be such a thing?" The neutral official asked.

"How can it be impossible? I heard that this Cao Bingyi is a distant relative of Li Taishi." The person who said this was a member of Prince Rui, and he found out this news early in the morning.

"No way."

"I also heard on the street yesterday that many candidates questioned the list."

"I've heard about it too."

The emperor also listened to some of these officials' words, and then added the news he got himself. This is a good opportunity to cut off many of Li Taishi's minions, and the emperor will not let it go easily.

"It is said that Yin Shizheng of Jingzhao Mansion."

Grand Master Li frowned. Since the list was released, someone had discovered the trick. He sent people to chase and kill this person, but there was no result.He knew that something would happen to the Governor of Jingzao, and he was prepared to prevent him from entering the palace, but he did not expect Shi Zheng to come to the main hall despite setting up many obstacles.

After Shi Zheng came in, he told the story again, and then the emperor said: "Whether this matter is true or not must be investigated. If it is true, then I am incompetent, and I have chilled the hearts of those scholars who have studied hard for ten years. If it is false Yes, the drummer must be held accountable, and no one can slander the champion of the new division."

The emperor went on to say: "This matter is of great importance, and this matter will be handled jointly by Prince Rui and the governor of Jingzhao."

"In addition, Shi Zheng, I will give you Shang Fang's sword as if I were here in person. I ordered a thorough investigation of whether the officials of the Ministry of Rites have engaged in favoritism and malpractice. We must give candidates a fair and reasonable explanation."

"Yes, I obey the order." Shi Zheng said.

"My minister will definitely investigate and clarify this matter, and will never let go of any fly that endangers the country and the candidates." Prince Rui said, and while speaking, he deliberately glanced at Grand Master Li.

Li Taishi just wanted to say something, the emperor hastily shouted down.

Grand Master Li knew that the Emperor and Prince Rui had always wanted to eliminate his influence.So even if he went to the emperor now, nothing would change the situation, and now he could only destroy the evidence.

But he didn't know that when he was thinking about how to destroy the evidence, Prince Rui had already had all the candidates' essays emptied, and he had already collected evidence of several officials' embezzlement.

The Minister of Rites wants to go to the Imperial Academy to find Cao Bingyi at this moment, and tell him how to defend himself.Unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone in the Imperial Academy.Because he was brought to the court of Jingzhao Mansion by Prince Rui's people, and he was confronting Zhou Bowen.

This person named Zhou Bowen is the person who beat the drum this time, because most of the people he sued this time are high-ranking officials in the court and current champions of the new disciplines. This is something that many people do not have the courage to do, so Many ordinary people came to watch the trial, not only ordinary people but also attracted many candidates to watch. Many of these candidates were also very dissatisfied with the list. They hoped that this matter was true. You can take the exam again, maybe you can still be on the list.

Ye Yuchen and Meng Tianwen were also among those who came to hear the trial.Before Ye Yuchen felt that it was impossible for Meng Tianwen to fail the ranking, and he also remembered that on the day the ranking was released, he heard someone say that Cao Bingyi's article was stolen from others.

Shi Zhengyan went on to investigate and found that Zhou Bowen was not the only one who had the test papers swapped out, but also several other candidates. Meng Tianwen's essays were also swapped out, so he lost his name to Sun Shan.With his article, the winner got No.9 in the exam.

Every step in the courtroom, Prince Rui's guards immediately reported him, and then he immediately asked people to spread the news to let the common people know that the examiners were not wronged, they were just accepting bribes, engaging in favoritism, and by the way, Taishi Li The relationship with Cao Bingyi has also been passed on, including the sons of Li Taishi and the son of the Minister of Rites on the list, etc. Almost all those who can make the list are some officials' children or people related to the officials.

It was a very lively day in the capital. In the teahouses and on the streets, people were outraged and scolded these nepotistic candidates and officials.Those who find it difficult to accept the results of this exam are not only ordinary people but also the parents of the candidates, especially those from poor families. Playing with private power and engaging in malpractice for personal gain.Some candidates' parents were so angry that they dragged their neighbors to the door of these corrupt officials and threw rotten leaves and rotten eggs.

Li Taishi, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, was not spared at the door of Li Taishi's house. He was so angry that his beard was crooked.

In less than a day, it became clear that the examiners were accepting bribes and engaging in malpractice for personal gain.Not only that, Nie Zhiyuan, the Minister of Rituals, was the "main force" in the test paper swap.Because of his good handwriting, he is better at imitating Biren's handwriting.This Nie Zhiyuan has another identity, he is the son-in-law on the spot, the husband of Princess Anle Zhao Yunning, and Zhao Yunning is the only daughter of Empress Dowager Li.

After seeing the result, the emperor was overjoyed.Starting with Nie Zhiyuan, it might be possible to eradicate Queen Mother Li. If Queen Mother Li has fallen, Taishi Li will be able to deal with it.

The next day, the emperor made a decree, announcing that the exam would be retaken on another day, and that the imperial examination would be added at that time, and the emperor himself would write the exam questions himself, and finally the number one scholar would be selected.In addition, regarding the suspected officials, no matter what kind of family background they are, they will definitely be investigated to the end.

After hearing the news, the examinees were all excited. God gave them another chance, and they will grasp it well and get good grades in the exam.
