Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Ahem! Killed an official?!"

Sima Zhishang frowned tightly, his old eyes revealing a dignified expression.

Killing a person is nothing to Sima Zhishang.

Even if the other party was an official, he didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't difficult to deal with this matter according to the power of the Sima family.

But this kind of thing is private after all, and it cannot be seen in the light. Once it is in the light, it will be difficult to deal with.

Especially not in front of Yu Wenchang.

Yu Wenchang is not something that the Sima family can buy or threaten...

"Father, don't worry, I have already arranged and dealt with this matter. Chu Zhangyang's father didn't have any complaints about this matter. The emperor probably doesn't know about it."

Sima Weibo told Sima Zhishang what he was dealing with, but he still couldn't believe that Yu Wenchang would find out about it.

After all, all the clues have been wiped out by him, except for them, who would know the truth?

"The emperor called the two of them over, it should have nothing to do with this matter." Sima Weibo shook his head and said.

Sima Zhishang felt that what Sima Weibo said was reasonable, thought for a moment, and said, "Since this is the case, then there is no need to worry about it. Let's ask Jincheng when he comes back."

From Sima Zhishang's point of view, as long as it wasn't a matter of murder, even if other matters came to Yu Wenchang's front, they wouldn't be too worried.

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace, and the emperor invites you to the palace to see him!"

The servants hurriedly came to inform Sima Weibo.

"The emperor wants to see me?"

Sima Weibo frowned, so is it related to him that the emperor called him over?

"Father, since the emperor has declared it, I will enter the palace."

Sima Weibo and Sima Zhishang resigned and followed the eunuch into the palace.

Sima Zhishang looked at the back of Sima Weibo leaving, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that there was a trend of storms coming.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shang Shuling is here." Hong Da whispered in Yu Wenchang's ear.

"Xuan!" Yu Wenchang waved his hand and asked someone to call Sima Weibo in.

When Sima Weibo stepped into the hall, his expression changed slightly when he saw Sima Jincheng and Chu Hesheng kneeling on the ground, and immediately realized that something seemed wrong about this matter.

If it wasn't for a big mistake, Sima Jincheng and Chu Hesheng wouldn't have kept kneeling like this.

"I see the emperor!"

Sima Weibo suppressed his doubts and saluted Yu Wenchang.

Yu Wenchang raised his eyelids to glance at Sima Weibo, and said flatly, "Excuse me."

Sima Jincheng knew that Sima Weibo was coming, and wanted to wink at him, but he knelt in front of him, so he couldn't openly make some small moves in front of Yu Wenchang.

So even if I was anxious to die, I couldn't do anything.

"I don't know why the emperor ordered someone to call me a minister?" Sima Weibo asked directly.

"Chu Zhuang, come and explain to him."

Naturally, Yu Wenchang would not open his mouth to explain, so this matter naturally fell on Chu Zhuang.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Zhuang didn't refuse either, after all he couldn't refuse either, he bowed to Yu Wenchang, then looked at Sima Weibo at the side, and explained the incident to him.

The simple meaning is that your son killed someone, the evidence is solid and there is no denying it.

At the same time, this matter is also related to you. You did the follow-up work of your son's murder. We all have witnesses!

When Sima Weibo heard the proof that Sima Jincheng had killed someone, his complexion couldn't stop being gloomy.

If it is confirmed that Sima Jincheng killed the official, among other things, Sima Jincheng's official career may come to a halt.

The Kangzhuang Avenue he originally arranged for Sima Jincheng no longer exists, so the position of his Shang Shuling can only be handed over to the offshoot of Sima's family in the end.

But soon Sima Weibo couldn't care about these things, because this matter has a lot to do with him!

"Nonsense, when did I do such a thing?!" Sima Weibo scolded angrily.

"This……"

Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Hesheng and said, "Lord Chu, Lord Sima said that you lied before the imperial court and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Chu Zhuang has no way to prove Sima Weibo's matter, the key depends on Chu Hesheng.

So Chu Zhuang didn't explain, but passed the topic to Chu Hesheng.

When Chu Hesheng heard about the crime of deceiving the emperor, his body trembled in fright, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I did not lie, I have witnessed all this with my own eyes!"

He is not willing to bear the charge of deceiving the emperor!

"No evidence, do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?!"

Sima Weibo was not as easy to fool as Sima Jincheng, so he immediately retorted sharply.

Facing Sima Weibo, Chu Hesheng still couldn't help feeling a little scared, but the instinct to survive soon overcame the fear.

"The evidence is Chen Ming. Chen Ming made a false case for you and concealed Sima Jincheng's actions. Now that Chen Ming has pleaded guilty to the law, is there any room for Mr. Shang Shuling to quibble?!"

When Chu Hesheng was talking about this matter, he also moved his mind and prepared to blow up Sima Weibo.

Regarding Chen Ming's guilty plea, it can be understood that he has shouldered all the charges and pleaded guilty by himself.

But at the same time, it can also be understood that he confessed the mastermind behind the scenes and involved Sima Weibo.

When Sima Weibo heard the words, he was startled and confused, and he couldn't be sure whether Chen Ming had confessed him for a while.

Hearing Chu Hesheng's words, Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and watched the fun from the sidelines.

If Sima Weibo was really blown out by Chu Hesheng and pleaded guilty, then things would become interesting.

It's just a pity that although Sima Weibo was not sure, he was not prepared to plead guilty at all unless Chen Ming said so in front of him.

And Sima Jincheng is not just a show, how could he watch Chu Hesheng cheat Sima Weibo like this.

"Chu Hesheng, you are talking nonsense. Chen Mingming said that all of this was done by himself and has nothing to do with others. How can you put the blame on my father?!" Sima Jincheng looked at Chu Hesheng with angry eyes and scolded road.

His scolding was not the most important thing to face, the main purpose was to remind Sima Weibo to be careful not to let the other party succeed.

Sima Weibo was not very sure at first, but when he heard Sima Jincheng's words, his heart immediately felt at ease, he looked at Yu Wenchang calmly and said, "Please give me a lesson from the emperor, and return my innocence!"

Wanting to use this matter to drag him into trouble is simply a dream!

Yu Wenchang frowned displeasedly, but did not speak.

Where did Sima Weibo come from with his innocence, so he asked Yu Wenchang to return it to them together.

"Master Shang Shu Ling, this statement is wrong!"

Chu Zhuang stood up in a timely manner, looked at Sima Weibo and said, "Master Sima, he is your son, but he committed a murder case, and he didn't know how to repent and bribed officials to hide the matter. As a father, are you really innocent?!"

He can't even teach his son well, so he is ashamed to ask Yu Wenchang to return his innocence!

This face is really thick enough.

Hearing Chu Zhuang's choking and Sima Weibo, a smile appeared on the corner of Yu Wenchang's lips, and he watched Chu Zhuang and Sima Weibo choking.

"This……"

Sima Weibo didn't have a hard time answering.

After all, what Chu Zhuang said is right, the son is not the fault of the father, and Sima Jincheng has become what he is now. Could it be that Sima Weibo has no responsibility at all? !

Chu Zhuang looked at Sima Weibo and didn't speak.

To convict Sima Weibo, the key lies in Chen Ming.

If Chen Ming is willing to open his mouth to identify Sima Weibo, then Sima Weibo will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Chen Ming is just a thin and thin scholar, and he has been around for many years, and he is also an official who is a bit fat.he

He is used to a pampered life, can he still stand the punishment?

Chu Zhuang didn't believe that if Chen Ming fell into Yu Wenchang's hands, Yu Wenchang would have no way to pry his mouth open!

A young eunuch outside the door came to report in Hong Da's ear.

Hong Da's eyes lit up, and after listening to the report, he left and came to report to Yu Wenchang.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ming confessed." Hong Da said softly.

In public, Yu Wenchang tortured others in front of Chu Zhuang and others to extract a confession.

But people don't have to worry about it when they take it down.

How could Chen Ming endure such crying, he didn't even survive the first round of punishment, so he confessed clearly what Sima Weibo had ordered him to do.

Hearing this, Yu Wenchang smiled, looked at Sima Weibo with deep eyes, and said with a sneer: "You have no innocence at all, Chen Ming has already confessed, it was you who forced and ordered him to give false testimony, This matter was concealed."

"Chen Ming he..."

Hearing Yu Wenchang's words, Sima Weibo opened his mouth and was stunned.

He didn't expect Chen Ming to betray him at all.

"No, it's impossible!"

Chen Ming didn't dare to admit to him, Sima Weibo was quite sure about this.

The Chen family relied on the Sima family. If Chen Ming dared to offend him, the entire Chen family would be in danger.

"Then show him Chen Ming's confession!"

Seeing that Sima Weibo was still stubborn at this time, Yu Wenchang looked at Hong Da and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hong Da took the confession form from the eunuch and handed it to Sima Weibo himself.

It was written by Chen Ming himself, with his signature and stamp.

It records in detail how Sima Weibo asked Chen Ming to hide the disguise. If it weren't for Chen Ming himself, it would be impossible to know so many details.

"how come……"

Sima Weibo was stunned, not knowing how to argue for a while.

After all, facts speak louder than words, and he has nothing to argue with.

Seeing Sima Weibo's appearance, Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, curious in his heart, wondering how Yu Wenchang would deal with him.
