I repeatedly offered poisonous tactics, but Lao Zhu quickly advised me to calm down!

When Liu Weiqian, the Minister of Justice, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, cold sweat could not help but drip down his temples.

The Law of the Ming Dynasty was indeed written by himself, but judging from the emperor's tone and look, it was clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to scare the monkeys!

If the sentence is lenient! It is inevitable that he would be guilty of covering up his disciples!

If the sentence is severe! As a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he did not know the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He was also guilty of dereliction of duty!!!

For a moment, Liu Weiqian looked struggling and said hesitantly:"According to the Ming Law,……"

"how?! As a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, have you even forgotten the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

When Liu Weiqian heard this, he knelt on the ground in fear and said tremblingly:"Back to... Your Majesty, according to the Ming Dynasty law, all officials who have committed corruption crimes will be sent to the desert in the north once found. Exile"

"Anyone who embezzles more than sixty taels of silver will be beheaded in public, his skin will be peeled off, stuffed with straw, and placed next to the Yamen as a warning to future generations."

"Those who accept bribes are deemed to be guilty of the same crime!"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials trembled suddenly, and Bai Xintao's face instantly turned extremely pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly:"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon platform, his eyes were slightly focused and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Liu Weiqian swallowed his saliva and continued:"This is the first encore in the Hongwu period. Such a big accident occurred. Liu Weiqian, Bai Xintao, etc. Anyone who is guilty of dereliction of duty"

"In order to protect themselves, they bribed them, treating them as corruption and perverting the law.……"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sneered and said:"Liu Weiqian, this Bai Xintao is also your disciple after all. Don't you think of being punished lightly?" When

Liu Weiqian heard this, he worshiped in panic:"Your Majesty, as the Minister of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty, what I have done is , All matters that are judged are based on the Great Ming Law. How can personal emotions be mixed in it?"

"The crimes committed by Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao are unpardonable and should be severely punished!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others collapsed on the ground like mud, pleading continuously:"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy! Zhu

Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others who were kowtowing, and shouted angrily:"Look at what you are like now!" How can I still have the style of a Ming Dynasty official!"

"What’s done is done! Now we just feel disgusting for you!!!"

Under the angry scolding, Liu Sanwu, Bai Xintao and others pressed their faces to the ground, their bodies trembling constantly.

At this time,

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong on the side again, and asked:"Liu Weiqian, let me ask you, How should we punish the calligraphy and painting that Bai Xintao gave to 12 Hu Weiyong?"

Hu Weiyong's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, and big beads of sweat kept dripping from his temples. He quickly bowed his head in obeisance to the main hall, and kept glancing at Liu Weiqian from the corner of his eye.

"This this……"

Liu Weiqian said hesitantly:"Reporting to your majesty, calligraphy and painting have been passed down through the ages, and they are all elegant things."

"It is a matter of course for students to give calligraphy and paintings to their teachers because of emotion and reason."

"Therefore...therefore, this matter does not fall into the law!"

When Liu Weiqian said these words, Hu Weiyong seemed to have been drained of strength and collapsed directly to the ground, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

"Not in the law!"

"good!"

"OK!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered repeatedly, which made Hu Weiyong's heart suddenly tighten. According to the emperor's wishes, he may not be able to escape this time!!!

"What a student who sent the teacher calligraphy and paintings that are both emotional and reasonable!"

"If we dig deeper into this matter, shouldn't we say that we are unreasonable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

Liu Weiqian heard this and said in panic:"Your Majesty, I have no such intention. I am just discussing the matter.……"

"enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Liu Weiqian's defense with an angry shout, and glanced at everyone in the Imperial Academy with his cold eyes.

"Put them all in jail and find out! Find out!"

"Don’t let anyone go!!!"

……

Lao Jiu is a member of the Jinyi Guards.

He was supposed to take a rest today, but his superiors suddenly informed him that he had a mission today and needed to send extra manpower.

Lao Jiu had no choice but to climb out of his mother-in-law's warm bed, put on a black suit and came to the palace.

And when he followed Tishuai to the outside of Fengtian Hall, he realized that the people who were going to be sent to prison this time were all old acquaintances.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

"Your Majesty, I did not commit any fraud! The veteran has been teaching and educating people conscientiously all his life!"

"Tishuai, this was all done by Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao! We are only responsible for marking the papers! You guys should talk to the emperor quickly!"

The Imperial Doctors begged hard, with panic on their faces.

Seeing their expressions, Lao Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

These people usually look down on others.

It's better now. They are all imprisoned.

Look how dare they look down on us!

"Yo, how many of you guys are here?"

"I heard that you are cheating in the exam, haven’t you all read the books of sages? How come you don’t have any morals at all?"

"Don’t you know what our emperor hates most?"

"Accepting bribes and cheating in exams! This is a big sin!"

"I guess beheading is considered a light thing, don't say it too late!"

Lao Jiu smiled at the doctors who were locked in the car next to him, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Upon hearing this, all the doctors cried even more miserably.

Several older ones almost fainted. It passed.

Seeing this, Lao Jiu stretched out his hand and knocked hard on the threshold.

"Why are you crying? You deserve it!"

The smile disappeared from his face, replaced by deep disgust.

Those who take bribes and commit corruption deserve to die!

Those who commit fraud in the examination room deserve to die tens of thousands of times!

The people of the world have been miserable for so many years, you guys The officer has been thinking about these bastards all day long!

Damn it!

When he was so frightened, all the prisoners suddenly became quiet, with only a few sobs coming from time to time.

……

Lao Jiu looked indifferent and continued to patrol.

And when he reached the front of the team, he saw two more officials.

He didn't know these two people.

But Lao Jiu knew that the higher the position, the higher the official position.

And this also made Lao Jiu's eyes look at the two of them even colder.

Small officials are a little corrupt, big officials are big corrupt!

These two are damn good!

Ling Chi's three thousand dollars was a bargain for them!

Lao Jiu snorted coldly and quickly called for the brothers to leave.

He doesn't want anything to happen to these corrupt officials at this time. Even if they want to die, they will die under the knife!

Watching the car leave outside the palace, Hu Weiyong trembled all over, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He heard the conversation between Lao Jiu and those doctors just now.

He discovered something.

The people of Ming Dynasty hated corrupt officials!

This made him realize the seriousness of the situation.

When this incident was spread, it was no longer as simple as a fraud case.

This will be a conflict between the people and officials, and a conflict between those in lower positions and those in higher positions.

If not handled well, it may even cause mutiny!

Will the emperor allow this to happen?

Absolutely impossible!

When a dynasty is first established, the emperor will definitely raise his butcher's knife high in order to maintain stability!

Hu Weiyong was a little glad that what he received was calligraphy and painting, not gold and silver.

If he was receiving gold and silver, I'm afraid he would have to be in the car.

A high-ranking official like himself definitely looks like a good person.

The emperor certainly doesn't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

When the truth comes, not to mention cutting off your own head, it is not impossible to implicate the nine clans of your own.

When he thought of this, Hu Weiyong's mind became dizzy and his breathing became much faster.

He knew that even if he was lucky enough to survive this time, he would probably shed a layer of his skin!

Hu Weiyong lowered his head, not daring to look at Lao Zhu above.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the trembling people with a gloomy expression.

"The people standing here are all my pillars, but you should tell me what to do now!"

"How can we calm down the students’ anger?"

"Weren't you very eloquent when you were interceding for Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao just now? You should speak now!"

He shouted angrily in a deep voice, with cold eyes.

Before anyone in the court could speak, Mao Xiang walked back quickly.

He came to the imperial court, kowtowed three times to Lao Zhu, and saluted respectfully.

"Wish you all the best, my minister Mao Xiang has something to report!"

"explain!"

Lao Zhu waved his hand

"Your Majesty, there was a sudden fire in the Gongyuan just now. The people who set the fire have already caught some of them, and they are the candidates from the north."

Mao Xiang bowed slightly and explained truthfully.

As soon as he said this, the court fell silent, and then bursts of discussion broke out.

"Candidates from the north actually dared to burn down the tribute courtyard!"

"Isn't this too bold of them?!"

"Aren't they afraid of being beheaded?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across everyone's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang could see the expressions of the courtiers clearly from above.

But when he heard their words, the anger in his eyes became even stronger.

This is not caused by you idiots. What's wrong?

I don't even think about how to fix it, but I still have the nerve to say such things here!

Trash! They're all trash! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lao Zhu took a deep breath and tried his best To prevent himself from losing his mind, he turned to look at Mao Xiang

"In addition, what else did the northern candidates do? Lao Zhu asked in a deep voice.

He knew that Mao Xiang was so anxious to go to the palace to report that it must not just be about arson.[]

After all, the person who set the fire had been arrested, and he could give himself an explanation.

There must be something tougher to make yourself aware of.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows twitched, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

And when he saw Mao Xiang bending even lower, this premonition became stronger

"Your Majesty, more northern students are spreading bad remarks in Yingtian City"

"What remarks?"

Lao Zhu stood up directly. His eyes were red and his face was terrifying, almost trying to bite people.

Mao Xiang took a deep breath, and he replied loudly with a straight face:"Report to the emperor, those students said……"

"Corrupt officials cover up the sky with one hand!"

Bang!

Lao Zhu smashed the Jade Gui in his hand to pieces.

"Isn’t it just that corrupt officials cover the sky with one hand?"

"Students hate it! We hate it too! We can't wait to put all the corrupt officials to death!"

"You say, what to do! Even if I chop you all down now, it still won’t quell the people’s anger!"

He pointed at the courtiers, trembling with anger.

Lao Zhu hates it!

He wishes he could pull out all these rubbish and chop them down!

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the north and the south were unified.

He wanted to create a prosperous age of Enke, but it was completely destroyed!

Now! Well, let alone the prosperous times, the people are probably going to rebel of their own!

Looking at his furious father, a trace of heaviness flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes. He knew that there was no solution to the matter at this point. This matter has reached a point where there is no solution.

If there is no good way to deal with it, it is likely to cause a mutiny.

Zhu Biao put his hand into his arms and took out the tips bag that his husband had given him before.

But when Zhu Biao opened the tips bag and saw the contents, He was shocked

"Sir, there is a lot of chaos outside. Please don't go out."

In the inn, the waiter looked at Chen Mu and whispered to dissuade him.

He had seen clearly in the past few days that the people he talked to were either rich or noble.

Especially those young masters, each with extraordinary temperament, must be a high-ranking official.

It's too late for them to fawn over such a person, so naturally they have to protect him.

"Messy? Not messy at all."

Chen Mu looked at the street, smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, angry northern students could be seen everywhere in Yingtian Mansion. They shouted loudly, demanding a thorough investigation of scientific examination fraud.

And behind them, there were groups of common people.

Most of them Many of them were simply dressed, and they were ordinary people doing business in Yingtian Mansion.

What happened to the candidates in the north made them angry.

Everyone finally waited until the north and the south were unified, and the emperor even allowed Enke to take office, and he was about to enter a prosperous age.

Now some people want to They want to monopolize the promotion paths for poor scholars, and want to bring chaos to the Ming Dynasty again!

The students in the north will not agree, and the people will not agree!

"Check everything!"

"Re-grading! Re-grading!"

"Severely punish corrupt officials! No cheating in the examination room will be allowed!"

Listening to the shouts in his ears, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth raised slightly.

The fire was already burning brightly, and he could move on to the next step.

Chen Mu left the crowd and walked straight to the imperial prison.

"Who is coming?"

Before he could get closer, the guard at the door shouted.

Chen Mu took out the crown prince's token from his arms and handed it over.

After checking it, the guard hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Please come in, sir!"

Chen Mu took back the token and walked directly into 897.

The imperial prison is very big, with hundreds of cells, but most of them are empty at the moment.

Chen Mu feels that he should make the place full this time.

After walking a few steps, He then found the Imperial College doctors who were imprisoned.

Chen Mu's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention

"Dr. Chen! Are you here to save us?"

"Dr. Chen! The old man is unjustly accused!"

"Brother Chen, I have something I want you to take out for me, okay? I am willing to trade with money and mansion!"

"I do too! I just want Brother Chen to help me with a message!"

Chen Mu turned a deaf ear to everyone's cries.

When he was expelled from his position, who stood up?

When he was kicked out of the Imperial Academy, who didn't ridicule and make fun of him?

You are the one who added insult to injury, and now you want me to save you?

Really ? Am I Buddha and Bodhisattva?

Even King Kong still has angry eyes!

Chen Mu’s expression was cold and he didn’t even look at these people.

"Sir, the person you want to see is inside."

Lao Jiu had already received instructions from his superiors and hurriedly stepped forward to guide Chen Mu.

Following Lao Jiu, Chen Mu saw Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao.

The two men were motionless in the cell, as if they were in trance, and their eyes were blank.

Chen Mu With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he looked at Liu Sanwu and greeted him out loud:"Master Jianzheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is everything okay?"

Hearing the sound, Liu Sanwu opened his eyes.

When he saw that it was Chen Mu, he immediately turned his back and didn't want to look again.

Is everything okay? How did you know that I was okay?

Chen Mu heard some noises and carefully identified them. Later he discovered that it was actually the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics. He chuckled.

"When you are about to die, do you suddenly remember that you have read a book by a sage?"

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu trembled.

However, he still ignored Chen Mu and just continued to recite.

On the contrary, Bai Xintao stood up suddenly.

"When Lan Shangqing returns to the court in victory, it will be your death!"

He grasped the sill railing tightly with both hands and looked at Chen Mu fiercely, his eyes full of anger.

"When Lan Yu comes back, I will naturally settle the accounts with him again"

"But now, I have to collect interest from you first"

"Do you think your head is strong enough?"

Facing the violent Bai Xintao, Chen Muhun didn't care.

He stood outside the threshold with a bright smile.

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Mu

"Are you harming us?!"

He was shaking all over, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Chen Mu nodded with a calm expression.

"Without me, how could the northern students be so excited?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Sanwu felt like the world was spinning. His reputation was ruined because of this young man in front of him!

So the attention that made him the examiner must have been given by him!

This was simply a trap!

He had calculated everything accurately!

"puff!"

Liu Sanwu suddenly woke up, a mouthful of blood spurted on the wall, and his whole body was instantly depressed.

"I want to see His Majesty and catch the culprit!"

Bai Xintao's palms holding the sill railing had veins popping out, and his triangular eyes stared at Chen Mu closely, looking like a madman!

"Chen Mu! It was you who hurt me!".
