"It's so big... It's so hot... I can't eat any more..." Jiang slightly opened his cherry lips and misted his eyes.
Gu Fei took the roasted sweet potato in her hand and sai...
Xie Zijun is still unwilling.
He said, "I have an evidence here that can help you identify Xu Yizhi. I can give it to you."
His words made Jiang Wei very excited, but she knew there was no free lunch in the world, so she picked her eyebrow and asked, "what's the condition?"
"If I say the condition is to let you say something you admire me, will you agree?"
Jiang smiled directly and said, "you start dreaming in broad daylight!"
Laughed at by her, Xie Zijun didn't feel ashamed and sighed: "in fact, I just want to hear you say a few nice words, even if you're just kidding me."
Jiang stopped smiling.
At this moment, she felt that the man in front of her was a little sad.
She asked, "that evidence should be your last straw? Is it worth exchanging life-saving things for a few lies? "
Xie Zijun smiled and said, "it's just a straw. Even if I catch it, I can't be saved. In that case, why not use it for a dream?"
"Dreams are false."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care whether it's true or not."
Jiang Wei looked into his eyes. After a long time, he whispered, "while the emperor hasn't called you, you should turn yourself in quickly. As long as you confess, the Emperor may be lenient to you."
Xie Zijun shook his head. "Late, Jinyi Wei is the eye liner of the emperor. Any wind sways grass will not escape the eyes of the emperor, including everything that happened in Xia Fu last night. At this moment, the purpose of calling me into the Palace should be on the way. I have no way back. Maybe I won't have a chance to see you again in my life. "
Jiang Wei was speechless.
Xie Zijun took out the thin letter paper hidden in his sleeve, put it on the tea table, and finally looked at her: "this is an apology I gave you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did before."
Then he went out without looking back.
Jiang Weiwei went to the tea table, picked up the letter paper and unfolded it.
This is a secret letter from Xu Yizhi to Xie Zijun. The content is not much, but it is enough to drag Xu Yizhi, an old fox, into the water.
Jiang Weiwei was right. This letter can be used as Xie Zijun's life-saving straw. He just needs to hold this letter in his hand to threaten Xu Yizhi. Xu Yizhi is likely to save him for self-protection.
But now, he handed the straw to Jiang Weiwei himself.
Jiang Weiwei's mood is very complicated.
When she thought Xie Zijun was a friend she could make friends with, she found that he was a despicable villain.
When she thought he was a despicable villain, he showed a soft side.
This man is too difficult to understand.
Jiang Weiwei asks Gu De to set up the donkey cart. She plans to go into the palace in person.
Because of the jade plaque given by the empress dowager, Jiang Weiwei can directly enter the palace without summoning.
Xie Zijun was right. Not long after he left Jiang Weiwei's house, he met the royal guards who came to call him into the palace.
He calmly followed the royal guards into the palace and met the emperor in Zhaohua hall.
In addition to the emperor, Gu Fei, Xia Siye and Wei Chen were present.
Xie Zijun came forward to salute: "Wei Chen pays homage to his majesty."
Sima fan's voice could not hear joy and anger: "do you know why I suddenly summoned you?"
"I don't know. Please make it clear."
Sima fan pointed to the three people standing next to him and said, "Wei Chen told you that you will try to cheat again and steal his articles. This is a great crime of cheating in the imperial examination and deceiving the king. Gu Zhenfu personally investigated the case. He visited the past one by one according to the list of examination officials, and found clues from Xia Siye, the Imperial College superintendent. Now Xia Siye has confessed that he was coerced by Xu Yizhi and cooperated with many other marking officers to exchange test papers for you and Wei Chen. They have not only human evidence, but also material evidence. Now I want to hear what you say? "
Xie Zijun asked, "what material evidence do you have?"
Gu Fei presented two test papers and unfolded them in public.
These two papers are the real answers of Xie Zijun and Wei Chen!
The handwriting on it was written by both of them, but the content of the article fell out of the content of the test paper submitted to the emperor.
The wonderful article praised by the emperor appeared on the answer sheet signed Wei Chen, while Xie Zijun's answer sheet was another article.
Xie Zijun saw the two papers and didn't speak.
Just then, an attendant came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Xu Shoufu is coming and waiting outside the hall."
Everyone knows that Xu Yizhi is the theme of the play.
Knowing that the protagonist was going to appear, everyone was in high spirits. Even Sima fan, the son of heaven, couldn't help sitting up straight. He said, "announce him to come in."
"Here."
Xu Yizhi is now over half a hundred years old and his temples are frosty white.
In modern society, the age of half a hundred may only be regarded as middle-aged and elderly, but in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was only 40 or 50 years, it was already a drooping old man.
He walked into Zhaohua hall and saluted respectfully.
"Old minister Xu Yizhi, meet your majesty."
Sima fan specially stood up, walked close to him and gently gave him a hand: "Duke Xu doesn't have to be polite."
Seeing that Xu Yizhi was old and inconvenient to stand for a long time, Sima was tired of asking people to bring a chair and asked Xu Yizhi to sit and answer.
Xu Yizhi declined a few words. Seeing that he could not refuse, he sat down with a grateful look on his face.
"I wonder if your majesty specially summoned the old minister. What's your order?"
Sima fan was too lazy to repeat what he had just said, so he asked Gu Fei to explain.
Gu Feiyan explained the case of changing test papers from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Xu Yizhi's face changed greatly and quickly stood up: "Your Majesty, don't listen to other people's rumors. Although the old minister is the presiding judge of the joint examination, the matter of marking the examination paper has always been handled by the Imperial College and the officials of the Imperial Academy. The old minister never intervened, let alone coerced others to change the examination paper. Moreover, the old minister and Xie Zijun have no relatives. Why take the risk to help him change his test papers and seek the title of the No. 1 scholar? "
Sima wearily nodded: "what you said is also reasonable. There are indeed a lot of doubts in this case."
Xu Yizhi expressed his gratitude: "Your Majesty is willing to believe the old minister, and the old minister is very grateful. However, since Gu Zhenfu has taken out personal and material evidence and pointed the spearhead at the old minister, the case must be thoroughly investigated. As the saying goes, the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Even if the old minister is the first auxiliary of the same product, he can't have any preferential treatment. I beg your majesty to summon all the marking officers and invigilators who participated in the examination and interrogate them one by one to see if they are connected with me“
"Since Duke Xu has said so, go ahead and do as you say. Come on, call all the marking officers and invigilators of this year's HKCEE into the palace. I want to ask about it face to face."
"Here!"
