Chapter 541 (1/2)
541 Chapter 87-how to break out of this situation?
“Is it because you didn’t deliver the message?” Wang simu could not accept this reality. She glared at the servant girl and tried to push the blame to Xu niannian.
“I wouldn’t dare. I’m sure he’s here.” The maidservant said in an aggrieved manner.
Wang simu sat in a daze for a long time. She could not hide the disappointment in her bright eyes.”Forget it, let’s go back.”
“AI.” The maidservant responded briskly and left the cabin with small steps to the end of the boat to inform the boatman to return.
The boatmen pulled the anchor out of the water and worked together to row the boat. The embroidered boat slowly moved along the canal back to the capital.
After returning to the dock of the capital, Wang si mu entered the carriage waiting by the side of the road and instructed, “”LAN ‘er, go to the Xu residence now and tell them that I’m going to play with miss lingyue.
“I’ll wait here for an hour before I set off.”
“Young lady, why is this so?” The maidservant frowned.
“Even if he doesn’t have any feelings for me, I still want to know.” Miss Wang was very aggressive.
…………
It was the new year at the spring examination. He was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for fraud and was sent to prison.
This was a major case that was destined to shake the entire capital. It spread from the government office and the Ministry of Justice, and then through the six ministries, quietly spread to the entire capital’s officialdom.
After a few more days of fermentation and dissemination, everyone would know about it.
During the lunch break, officials and civil servants who were familiar with each other gathered in restaurants, teahouses, and other places to discuss the imperial examination fraud case.
“I knew it. If the students of Yun Lu Academy were to obtain the Huiyuan, would the officials of the Imperial court agree? Aren’t I here now?”
you only know a part of it. but not the other part. This matter is definitely not that simple. That Xu niannian is Xu Qi. an’s cousin, and Xu Qi. an is the best poet in Dafeng.’A difficult journey’ is an excellent work … I don’t believe that there’s nothing fishy about this.”
“Nonsense. Is Xu Qi ‘an the only one who can compose poems? Can’t we, scholars, have a sudden inspiration and come up with something by chance?”
“Alright, there’s no point in arguing about this. Xu Huiyuan was doomed to fail this time. Whether he cheated or not, his future was ruined. I remember that in the 12th year of yuanjing, there was a fraud case where three students were involved. The case was investigated for two years and they were finally released, but their reputation was ruined and their studies were abandoned.”
there was a similar case in yuanjing 20 years ago, but that time, the evidence was conclusive. The students and head examiners involved in the case were all executed by His Majesty.
if this case is confirmed, then with Xu Xinian’s identity as a student of Yun Lu Academy … Hiss, no matter how I think about it, there’s no possibility of turning things around. Do you think Guild Wei won’t make a move?”
it’s very likely. Xu Qi ‘an is Lord Wei’s confidant. He must have asked Lord Wei to help him.
“What if the Duke of Wei just stands by and does nothing?”
