Chapter 369 It’s finally time to break up
Now Chu Zhuangyuan and others were completely panicked.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Shen Zhao's eyes swept over them one by one, and the words they wanted to say were blocked in their mouths, and they dared not say another word.
"Don't worry, Qin Hui. The king and Lord Ji will send people to investigate and verify. If what you said is true, the king will give you an explanation."
Lord Ji led Yu Zihuan to the palace in a hurry.
Although the prince handed the letter over.
But now is not just now, this is a big deal!
After Lord Ji and Yu Zihuan leave.
The Chu clan members have also become much more honest.
Shen Zhao kept Qin Hui and Liu Li at his residence.
In the palace, the old emperor received the letter handed to him by Shen Zhao and became furious.
During his reign, some people were so bold as to use the imperial examination system to make huge fortunes.
They even dared to privately disqualify students from taking the provincial examinations.
Where does the law of the country place him as the emperor?
I was just about to send someone to the residences of the important officials to announce it.
Then I heard the palace maid come to report hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Master Ji Yuanji, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, requests an audience."
The old emperor asked the palace servants to summon Ji Yuan without thinking.
Although the letter was delivered from Mu'er's house.
But he still recognized the handwriting, it was Ji Yuan's handwriting.
Now Mu'er is "in poor health" and cannot leave the house, so Ji Yuan must have come here under Mu'er's instructions.
Ji Yuan led Yu Zihuan into the hall.
The old emperor looked at Yu Zihuan behind Ji Yuan but did not blame him.
Instead, he asked:
"Ji Aiqing, it was Mu'er who sent you here."
Ji Yuan hurriedly knelt down with Yu Zihuan and told him everything that had happened in the General's Mansion.
There was a loud bang.
The old emperor slapped the desk in front of him.
"Outrageous! They've rebelled. I appoint you as the Imperial Commissioner. Go to Jinzhou immediately to investigate the cheating in the imperial examination."
"I obey your order." Ji Yuan quickly stood up.
The old emperor looked at Yu Zihuan again and said, "You are one of the students who was persecuted. Don't worry, I will give an explanation to all the students.
Ji Yuan has never been a person who praises others. He praises you so much and even accepts you as his apprentice, which shows that you must have your own strengths.
Since you are from Jinzhou and are Mu'er's cousin, I order you to assist Lord Ji in investigating the Jinzhou imperial examination fraud case."
"Your humble servant Yu Zihuan obeys your command." Yu Zihuan didn't expect that he would return to Jinzhou to assist the imperial commissioner in investigating the case.
The old emperor immediately drafted an edict and passed it down.
A team of Lulin troops was also sent to protect the safety of Ji Yuan and his group.
Not only Ji Yuan went to Jinzhou, but also two other ministers in the court.
With Ji Yuan as the leader, they assisted Ji Yuan in investigating the case.
Ji Yuan didn't even return home, but rushed to Jinzhou with Yu Zihuan, carrying the imperial edict.
When Shen Zhao learned the news, Ji Yuan and Yu Zihuan had both left the city gate.
The old patriarch and his entourage also learned the news.
Except for the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan who were slightly relieved, the families of Chu Tanhua and Chu Bangyan were almost anxious to death.
If this is discovered, they will be finished for the rest of their lives.
Both families looked at the old patriarch.
It was the old patriarch who asked the two families to pay the money.
He can't just sit back and watch now.
The old patriarch ignored the two families' pleading looks. Fortunately, the top scholar was admitted based on his real ability.
"Nephew..." Chu Tanhua's father could no longer sit still when he saw that the old patriarch did not plead for them.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the old patriarch:
"Mu'er is injured, and he just dealt with those trivial matters. As Mu'er's elders, you should be considerate of him. If you have anything to say, we can talk later!"
This brainless guy wanted to expose the fact that his son cheated in the imperial examination.
The old patriarch was still a little apprehensive about Shen Zhao's sudden change of attitude.
In addition, the old lady and Renqing and Renjie had not come for a long time, which deepened the old patriarch's concerns.
Mu'er had just arranged a yard for Qin Hui and Liu Li, but had not arranged a residence for either of them.
The old patriarch said tentatively:
"Mu'er, we have been in the mansion for some time. We have delayed you for so long and haven't given you a good rest. Do you think you can ask the servants in the mansion to lead us to our respective courtyards?"
Shen Zhao curled his lips and smiled:
"The old patriarch knew that I was injured, and that you and your group had disturbed my rest. I never saw anyone ask about my injury. I thought you were all blind."
When Shen Zhao said this, a trace of shame flashed across the faces of the Chu family.
They all started to express their concern for Shen Zhao's injuries.
Chen Zhao was annoyed by these people's noise, "Shut up!"
"I am going to rest now, everyone please go back."
Shen Zhao closed his eyes as he spoke.
The old patriarch said in embarrassment: "Mu'er, you haven't assigned us a courtyard yet, where are you going to let us go?"
Chen Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, "What courtyard? Why are we assigning it to you? Who are you?"
The time had finally come to tear each other apart. She had been holding back because she wanted to know more about Yu Zihuan, Jinzhou, and the imperial examination.
Now? No thanks!
Of course, we have to deal with these villains.
The old patriarch and his entourage were stunned for a moment.
Is this the way Chu Mu speaks to the old patriarch?
How dare he be so rebellious.
The old patriarch became even more panicked.
"Mu'er, we are from the same clan. I am your great-grandfather, and they are your uncle, aunt, and your three cousins."
Shen Zhao sneered and said:
"Old Patriarch, have you forgotten what I said to you when you just came in?"
The old patriarch's heart skipped a beat. "What did Mu'er say?"
He automatically thought of the old lady who had not appeared.
And what Chu Mu said to him, is she really my mother?
It seems that Mu'er knows that the old lady is not his biological mother.
But we can't blame them for this. It was that bitch Yu who took advantage of Mu'er's father's work in Kyoto and couldn't help but feel lonely and cheated on her.
Only then would he be executed by Mu'er's grandparents and the clan.
I didn't tell Mu'er who his biological mother was because that bitch Yu was not worthy of being Mu'er's biological mother.
Chen Zhao looked at the old patriarch's unpredictable expression and listened to his inner slander of the clan.
This is because he has deceived outsiders so much that he has even started to deceive himself.
She didn't believe that the old patriarch didn't know that Yu was wronged.
Chen Zhao even suspected that this old man also contributed when the vicious woman and Du Kang plotted against Yu.
Shen Zhao spoke calmly, word by word:
"Old Patriarch, I just told you that woman is not my mother.
My biological mother's surname was Yu, and it was you who murdered her together!"
Except for Chu Tanhua and Chu Bangyan, who were both shocked and unbelievable.
The others had panicked expressions on their faces.
It seems that the old man also knows about his grandson Chu Zhuangyuan.
Come to think of it, he was the designated patriarch of the Chu family, how could he not know the secret of that year.
The old patriarch hurriedly explained:
"Mu'er, it's, it's me who didn't tell you who your biological mother is.
This old man does this for your own good."
The old man looked so earnest and sincere, thinking only of Chu Mu, that made Shen Zhao feel nauseous.
She laughed coldly and said, "For the king's own good?"
"I think this is for your own good. I cannot afford such kindness."
The old patriarch finally understood why Chu Mu treated them so badly.
It turns out it was just because of this little thing.
The old patriarch had no idea that Chu Mu already knew everything.
I just thought he was angry with them for hiding who his biological mother was.
He advised earnestly:
