Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

After all, Sima Weibo is a person who has experienced great storms, and it is not for nothing that he has served as Shang Shuling for so many years.

Although the current situation was very unfavorable to him, he calmed down quickly.

He will never admit to this crime.

He had clearly denied the crime in front of Yu Wenchang just now, and now he admits it, so what?

And if you plead guilty, it's a felony.

Then can he continue to sit in the position of Shang Shuling?

The Sima family will definitely suffer a devastating blow.

As for Chen Ming's confession...

Sima Weibo squinted his eyes, knelt down immediately, and shouted at Yu Wenchang: "The emperor's lesson! This must be that Chen Ming deliberately framed the humble minister! The humble minister has been an official for many years and has devoted himself to the emperor. Although he is in a high position , but he did not dare to show off his power, how could he do such a thing, it must be that Chen Ming was instigated by others to deliberately frame this humble official! Your Majesty, you must trust this humble official!"

After Sima Weibo finished speaking, he even cried aggrievedly.

Chu Zhuang looked at the miserable Sima Weibo, and the corners of his lips twitched. He was really sorry for his acting skills for an actor.

However, Chu Zhuang had to admit that, judging from the current situation, only Chen Ming was the only one to testify. Sima Weibo denied this.

Yu Wenchang didn't say anything, obviously he didn't believe Sima Weibo, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Chu Zhuang.

Chu Zhuang received the signal, thought for a while, looked at Sima Weibo and reminded: "Master Sima, I'm afraid you have forgotten, this Chen Ming is perjured for Mr. Sima..."

If it wasn't for Sima Weibo's intentional intimidation, why did Chen Ming take such a big risk of perjury?

To frame Sima Weibo?

Impossible, Chen Ming didn't take the initiative to expose this matter, if Chu Zhuang didn't bring it up, then the matter would have passed without a sound, so what's the point of framing it?

When Sima Weibo heard Chu Zhuang's words, his face twisted for a moment. At this moment, he wished he could cut Chu Zhuang into pieces with his eyes.

Hearing Chu Zhuang's words, Yu Wenchang's lips showed a vague smile, and his eyes fell on Sima Weibo who was kneeling on the ground, wanting to see how he could argue.

However, Sima Weibo was at the end of his rope. At this moment, he really didn't know how to deny it any longer.

After all, none of the people present were fools. What he said was outrageous, and it would only embarrass himself.

"It's me! I deliberately used my father's name to threaten Chen Ming to cover up the murder for me!"

Sima Jincheng stood up at the critical moment and took all the blame on himself.

Although he is a dude, after all, he was born in a family and knows the seriousness of the matter.

If Sima Weibo were to fall, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the Sima family.

And although he has taken the blame, as long as Sima Weibo is still in this position, there is definitely a way to save him!

"Father, he didn't know about it at all. Chen Ming also mistook it as a threat from his father, so he gave such a testimony!"

Sima Jincheng was driven into a hurry, and his brain turned quickly, and he got everything back.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything about this!"

Sima Weibo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Sima Jincheng said. He was afraid that Sima Jincheng would not be able to react and replace the crime in time. If so, the consequences would be very serious.

"Lord Sima, you first killed the court official, and then threatened the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to give false testimony for you..."

Chu Zhuang squinted his eyes, looked at Sima Jincheng, and said in a cold voice, "Two crimes combined, this is a capital crime for you!"

Now there is a choice between Sima Weibo and his son.

Either Sima Jincheng shouldered all the charges alone and was sentenced to death.

Either Sima Weibo pleaded guilty to the subsequent charges, then Sima Jincheng still had a chance to survive.

Choose one of the two.

Hearing the death penalty, Sima Jincheng turned pale, and looked at Sima Weibo in panic.

He is not afraid of punishment, except death!

Sima Weibo glanced at Chu Zhuang coldly, he will never let Chu Zhuang go if this matter is over!

Chu Zhuang smiled faintly at the gaze of his boss Ma Weibo, but he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, it's not a day or two since the Sima family will deal with him, and he would be afraid that he would not take the initiative to raise this matter.

Sima Weibo glanced at Sima Jincheng, gave him a look, and asked him to confess his crime.

Even if he was sentenced to death, he would have to be executed in autumn. During this period of time, he still had room to maneuver.

Although Sima Jincheng was frightened in his heart, he still said: "One person does the other, this is my crime, I can't let my father bear the crime for me!"

Chu Zhuang frowned, did not speak, but looked at Yu Wenchang.

Now that we've talked about it, it's up to Yu Wenchang to make a decision.

"Kill the imperial court official and use his power to threaten the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to cover up his crimes."

Yu Wenchang had a panoramic view of the situation in the hall, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his eyes were icy cold: "The Sima family has really produced a good boy!"

"I have no way to teach my son. If I am guilty, I ask the emperor to punish me!"

Sima Weibo kowtowed to plead guilty, although his charges were removed.

The worry is that Sima Jincheng is a member of the Sima family after all, his son, and of course he is also responsible for committing such a crime.

"Put Sima Jincheng in the prison."

Yu Wenchang beckoned and asked someone to take Sima Jincheng away.

The prison is located in the imperial palace, and the criminals in the prison are not the same as those in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice.

Criminals who have committed capital crimes in the Ministry of Punishment generally have to wait until the fall of the next year and then be executed uniformly.

The criminals in the Heavenly Prison are different, as long as the Qintian Supervisor has calculated the date, and there are no special circumstances, they can be executed directly within ten days and a half months.

Obviously, what Sima Jincheng did has completely angered Yu Wenchang, that's why he made such a decision.

Hearing Yu Wenchang's decision, Sima Jincheng turned pale with fright. He originally thought he would be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.

The Ministry of Punishment can be regarded as the territory of the Sima family. Even if he is sentenced to death, Yu Wenchang will have a way to replace him.

But who knew that Yu Wenchang would have someone directly imprison him in the dungeon!

In this prison, the Sima family can't reach in!

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me once, I really know I was wrong!"

Sima Jincheng hurriedly begged for mercy to Yu Wenchang. Hong Da knew that Yu Wenchang was in a bad mood at this time, so he quickly asked the guards to enter the hall and dragged him away.

The guards came in quickly, and the two grabbed Sima Jincheng's arm and dragged him down.

When passing by Sima Weibo, Sima Jincheng grabbed Sima Weibo's hand and begged, "Father, save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"My son!" Sima Weibo's eyes were flushed, of course he would try his best to save Sima Jincheng, but it was obviously inconvenient to say it in front of so many people now.

Sima Jincheng was quickly taken down, and his voice begging for mercy and calling for help could be heard vaguely outside the hall, it could be heard that he really didn't want to die.

Chu Zhuang lowered his eyes, his slender and thick eyelashes blocked the emotion in his eyes.

Although Yu Wenchang imprisoned him in the prison, he did not say that he would be executed.

This shows that Yu Wenchang does not want his life, but wants to use Sima Jincheng as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with the Sima family.

Chu Zhuang had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he never thought of taking advantage of this incident to kill Sima Jincheng.

Sima Jincheng's real deadly handle is still in his hands and has not been released.

This time it was just an excuse to cause some trouble for the Sima family.

After all, he is about to enter the Ministry of Household Affairs, and without Sima Jincheng, who is looking for trouble, his days will be much easier in the future.

Of course, the more important thing is to pave the way for Yunhong to restore his identity.

After all, the Sima family was hurt by this battle. As long as the prince's party is not stupid, they will use this opportunity to compete with the Sima family for power in the court.

When these two families fight, Yunhong's situation will be safe.

Yu Wenchang punished Sima Weibo symbolically, and everyone retreated.

Chu Zhuang and Sima Weibo came out of the hall together.

"Master Chu, I was the one who underestimated you before."

Sima Weibo stopped, looked at Chu Zhuang beside him and said.

This matter was handled so secretly, but Chu Zhuang could find loopholes and clues and catch Sima Jincheng.

Even Sima Weibo had to admire Chu Zhuang's methods.

"Master Sima was joking."

Chu Zhuang smiled, and he will use his actions to tell Sima Weibo that his methods are far more than that.

For now, these are just appetizers.

"I'm not joking with you!"

Sima Weibo took a step forward, approached Chu Zhuang, and said word by word: "I've made a note of this incident, and my Sima family will definitely repay Master Chu well in the future!"

Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Sima Weibo. Was he threatening him?

When he is scared big?

"Master Shang Shu, let's think about Mr. Sima in the prison first. I heard that three days later will be a good day for execution."

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Chu Zhuang's lips. Before taking revenge on him, let's think about how to rescue Sima Jincheng.

He really didn't want Sima Jincheng to die like this!

"you!"

When Sima Weibo heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he looked at Chu Zhuang with red eyes.

After so many years, no one has ever been able to anger him so much in front of him!

Chu Zhuang is the first!

"Mr. Sima doesn't have much time!" Chu Zhuang shook his head and said regretfully.

"You wait for me!"

Sima Weibo also knew that time was running out, he had to go back quickly and discuss with Sima Zhishang about rescuing Sima Jincheng.

It's just a waste of time to stay here and argue with Chu Zhuang.

After uttering a harsh word, Sima Weibo flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

"Your Majesty will send you off to Lord Shangshu!"

Chu Zhuang bowed his hands slowly, although his popularity was half dead, but he still will not forget the due courtesy.
