Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Well, bring him in."

Yu Wenjing asked his servants to bring Sima Weibo in.

"See His Royal Highness."

Sima Weibo saluted respectfully, which never existed in the past.

But for Sima Jincheng, he was willing to put down his figure.

Sima Weibo is not a good official or a good person, but he can be regarded as a father who loves his son.

"Master Sima, you don't need to be too polite."

Yu Wenjing looked at Sima Weibo's appearance, a smug look flashed in his eyes, he appreciated it, and then he spoke.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Sima Weibo stood up straight, only then did he realize that Xue Pingli was also there.

Thinking about the relationship between Xue Pingli and Yu Wenjing, Sima Weibo was not surprised by it.

"Master Sima is here, what are you talking about?"

Yu Wenjing looked at Sima Weibo and asked the question knowingly.

Sima Weibo came to the East Palace at this time, besides pleading for Sima Jincheng, what else could it be for.

"I'm here this time for the dog."

Sima Weibo pursed his lips, and said bravely: "I know that the dog has made a big mistake, but I only have such a son, and I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can hold his hand high and save his life."

When Yu Wenjing heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. As far as his relationship with Sima Jincheng is concerned, it's no wonder he would let Sima Jincheng go.

"Sima Jincheng kidnapped and plundered, committed all kinds of crimes, Master Sima is incapable of teaching his son, and Gu has not yet pursued Master Sima's responsibility, yet Master Sima still has the face to intercede in front of Gu?!" Yu Wenjing directly scolded without giving Sima Weibo any face. .

Sima Weibo had never paid attention to the prince Yu Wenjing before, and now he heard a junior like him scolding him loudly, and there was a touch of humiliation and anger in his eyes, but when he thought that Sima Jincheng was still in Yu Wenjing In his hands, he could only endure it.

"I know that the dog has made a big mistake, and I will definitely punish it severely in the future. I only ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give the dog a way out." Sima Weibo lowered his body and clenched his teeth, knelt down, and begged.

Seeing Sima Weibo begging for mercy in front of him, Yu Wenjing's eyes flashed with pleasure.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, you, Sima Weibo, have always been aloof, and now there is a day when you bow your head and beg for mercy!

Yu Wenjing admired Sima Weibo's pitiful appearance begging for mercy, and then coldly refused: "Impossible! Sima Jincheng deserves to be punished for his crime. If Gu let him go, how can he explain to those suffering people!"

What Yu Wenjing said was righteous, but those who knew him knew very well that he didn't want to uphold justice for the victims at all, he just wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate Sima Jincheng and seek his own selfishness.

"His Royal Highness, I am willing to donate the secret technique of papermaking. I wonder if His Royal Highness can change his mind?" Sima Weibo put forward his own request.

Yu Wenjing had already heard about this condition from Sima Zhishang yesterday, and when he heard it again, he still couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.

"Cough cough!"

Xue Pingli coughed and reminded Yu Wenjing that this papermaking secret technique is not easy to use.

Don't be fooled by this benefit.

Yu Wenjing came back to his senses, looked at Sima Weibo coldly and said, "Master Sima, Gu's mind will never change!"

Seeing Yu Wenjing's appearance, Sima Weibo couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"His Royal Highness, I don't ask you to spare Jin Cheng, but I just ask you to give him a few months of life, don't make a decision here, this papermaking secret technique, I am willing to offer it."

If Yu Wenjing could be persuaded to let Sima Jincheng go by using the papermaking secret technique, that would be the best result.

It's just that Yu Wenjing's mind is obviously firm, and Xue Pingli is watching. Sima Weibo also knows that there is no hope, so he can only show his cards.

"How many months?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjing's eyes widened, and he exchanged a glance with Xue Pingli who was beside him.

Compared with the previous requirements, this requirement is much easier to handle!

"That's right! I just hope that His Royal Highness can change Jin Cheng's execution to Autumn Queen's Execution, and I'm still willing to offer the secret technique of papermaking." Sima Weibo nodded in response.

Beheading is generally divided into two types, one is beheading and the other is beheading.

If there is no heinous crime, even if the prisoner is ordered to be executed under normal circumstances, he will have to wait until after the fall.

For one thing, the corpses are not easy to rot and breed diseases in autumn and winter.

Secondly, it is also to prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and there is a period of time in between.

Strictly speaking, Sima Jincheng's crimes were heinous, but he did not commit any heinous crimes, so according to the law, he was to be executed in autumn.

But Sima Jincheng aroused public anger, and for the sake of public anger, this needs to be sentenced to death.

Of course, how to judge in the end is just a thought of Yu Wenjing, the presiding judge.

If he wanted Qiu Hou Wenzhan, no one would dare to discuss him, after all he was the prince.

"This……"

Yu Wenjing hesitated when he heard this, obviously he was moved.

Originally, he didn't agree, but he knew it was impossible. After all, if he let Sima Jincheng go, he would have nothing good to eat.

But it's different now, he can absolutely agree to beheaded this autumn queen.

If you use this one condition in exchange for the papermaking secret technique...

After all, Xue Pingli is older, not as restless as Yu Wenjing, and he has always been on guard against Sima Weibo from the beginning to the end. When he heard the conditions proposed by Sima Weibo, his first reaction was to refuse and doubt. I can't believe he has such a good heart.

"Prince..."

Xue Pingli shook his head slightly at Yu Wenjing, reminding him to be careful not to fall into Sima Weibo's trap.

But Yu Wenjing couldn't listen to opinions at this meeting. After all, he really didn't think there was anything he couldn't agree to in this matter.

"Lord Sima, is what you said true?" Yu Wenjing looked at Sima Weibo and asked.

"Of course it's true! As long as Jincheng's verdict is passed, I will immediately offer the secret technique of papermaking!"

Hearing Yu Wenjing's question, Sima Weibo understood that he was ready to agree, and said immediately.

"There will be an interrogation in the court tomorrow, and I hope to see Master Sima's paper-making secrets!"

Yu Wenjing narrowed his eyes, looked at Sima Weibo and said.

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Sima Weibo quickly thanked him.

After receiving Yu Wenjing's accurate answer, Sima Weibo didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

When Sima Weibo left, Xue Pingli immediately said: "Your Highness, this matter is quite strange, you shouldn't have agreed so quickly."

"What's so strange, acting alone according to the law, why not sentence Sima Jin Chengqiu to be executed?"

Yu Wenjing didn't care much about this, and he thought it was worthwhile to exchange Sima Jincheng's life for a few months for papermaking skills.

Xue Pingli sighed and said: "His Royal Highness, if the Sima family is willing to donate their papermaking skills, he can go directly to the emperor to intercede!"

It is not impossible for Yu Wenchang to spare Sima Jincheng's life in order to obtain papermaking skills!

Why bother to beg Yu Wenjing for a reprieve?

"This……"

Yu Wenjing frowned, thought for a while and said, "Right now, Emperor Father is investigating the household department, and Sima Weibo doesn't dare to provoke Emperor Father, so I don't know..."

Xue Pingli shook his head, apparently not agreeing with Yu Wenjing's statement.

Sima Weibo was willing to kneel down to Yu Wenjing for Sima Jincheng, so why not ask Yu Wenchang?

"Besides, what's the point of handing over the secret papermaking recipe just to keep Sima Jincheng a few months longer?" Xue Pingli sighed and continued to ask.

Yu Wenjing walked around in the hall with his hands behind his back, after a while he listened and said, "Could it be that Sima Weibo wants Sima Jincheng to leave a descendant during this period of time?"

"Huh?" Xue Pingli was taken aback when he heard this.

Yu Wenjing seemed to have figured it out, and immediately said: "It must be so. The Sima family chose to give up Sima Jincheng and wanted to cultivate new offspring, so they stayed Sima Jincheng for a few more months."

"For this matter, to ask the emperor, the Sima family will take a big risk. It's better to ask the orphan in private, without anyone noticing."

Yu Wenjing thought he had figured out the meaning behind Sima Weibo, so he couldn't help showing a smug expression.

"It's possible..."

Xue Pingli was convinced by this reason, and nodded slightly.

"But prince, it's not a good thing for the Sima family to have descendants." Xue Pingli frowned and said worriedly.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjing snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Don't worry, Uncle, I will never give them this chance!"

"They only want to ask Sima Jincheng to be executed in the autumn. When they are in custody, they will send people to guard Sima Jincheng strictly. They will not give them any chance to contact him. This secret papermaking technique can only be given to Sima Jincheng. Just stay for a few more months."

Hearing this, Xue Pingli was completely relieved.

"His Royal Highness decides everything."

Sima Weibo came out of the East Palace. He glanced at the small door behind him, squinted his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and quickly got into the pony carriage he was riding in when he came.

"Yu Wenjing will make you proud for a while today, he wants you to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!"

……

Cloud House.

Huiming told Yun Zhanfei and Yu Wenhong what Chu Zhuang had explained.

"Today, I sent people to watch around Sima's house. I saw a small carriage going out from the back door of Sima's house. After going around a few times, it went to the side door of the East Palace."

Yu Wenhong told what Da had heard: "Sima Weibo went to find the prince."

"It should be to use this paper-making secret technique to plead with the prince." Yun Zhanfei reacted.

"Ah."

Yu Wenhong nodded slightly: "But why didn't they go to the emperor?"

"Chu Zhuang also thinks the same way. He always feels that the Sima family is planning something behind the scenes, so let's keep an eye on the Sima family's next move." Huiming nodded.

"Ok!"

Yun Zhanfei and Yu Wenhong looked at each other, and nodded in agreement with serious expressions.

They are not as reassuring to the Sima family as Yu Wenjing. There must be a conspiracy of the Sima family behind this matter.
