Chapter 131 A Loyal Minister
"How...how could this happen?"
Li Huaizhi's voice was a little stammering.
Shangguan Lin immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Huaizhi pursed his lips into a line, his voice filled with doubt.
"Your Majesty, for some reason, the name written on my paper is Li Jingchen..."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Sui's eyes suddenly widened.
An extremely bold idea came into her mind.
[Oh my god! Could someone have secretly swapped Li Jingyu and Li Huaizhi's papers?! ]
[No wonder the current examination results are exactly the opposite of the original book! ]
[Li Huaizhi should have been the first in the examination, but now he failed! Li Jingchen, who should have failed, became the first! ]
[No, who is so bold! How dare to cheat in the exam so blatantly?! ]
Shangguan Lin's face turned gloomy and ugly.
Who is this bastard? How dare he commit fraud under his nose!
It looked like he didn't want to live anymore!
Shangguan Lin frowned and ordered in a sharp voice: "Go, bring Li Jingchen to me. I want to interrogate him personally!"
Shangguan Sui turned to look at Shangguan Lin, his brows slightly raised.
[Yohoo, my dad is still pretty smart. ]
[There are so many people involved in marking the exam papers, and I don’t know where the problem lies, so it’s really hard to start.]
[But the biggest beneficiary of this matter is Li Jingchen, so it is definitely right to start with him! ]
When Eunuch Chen saw that the emperor was furious, he immediately nodded and went out with a few guards.
Minister Zhao was trembling beside him, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
It’s over… It’s over…
Something really went wrong during this scientific experiment...
Li Jingqi was very happy when he was first found by Eunuch Chen.
But he was soon frightened by the stern and terrifying expression of Yu Linjun next to him.
Before he could react, Yu Linjun stepped forward, pressed on his shoulders and pushed him forward.
Li Jingchen's face was filled with horror. "What, what happened?"
Eunuch Chen glanced at him and snorted coldly, "You've gotten into big trouble!"
Li Chen's eyes widened in shock, his knees buckled in fear, and he nearly fell down.
He blinked hard and asked in a trembling voice, "Ah? What, what's the matter?"
Eunuch Li was too lazy to talk to him and just glanced to the side.
A guard came forward and stuffed sackcloth into Li Jingchen's mouth.
Li Jing said this in shock, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Eunuch Li brushed off the dust and shrieked, "Let's go!"
Eunuch Chen works very quickly.
In just a cup of tea, Li Jingchen was escorted to the front of the palace by Yu Linjun.
They tore the sackcloth from his mouth and threw him to the ground.
Shangguan Sui looked at Li Jingchen, who was kneeling on the ground and still trembling, and snorted softly.
[Tsk, how brave do you think you are? ]
[You dared to cheat in the exam, and now you are so scared? What a fool! ]
Shangguan Lin glanced at Li Jingchen and said in a cold voice: "Li Jingchen, is the paper you are going to take your own?"
Li Jingchen panicked when he heard that, but he still said with his neck stiff, "Yes, it's mine!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huaizhi, who was standing by, stepped forward with wide eyes and shouted, "You are a liar!"
"This isn't your paper at all!"
Li Jingchen saw Li Huaizhi and immediately understood what was going on.
He, he was discovered to have secretly switched the test papers!
Li Jingchen swallowed his saliva and quickly began to think of a countermeasure.
Before he could react, Shangguan Lin, who was right above him, also stood up suddenly.
The emperor's pressure came heavily towards Li Jingchen, and his voice was thick and cold.
"Can you tell me again? Is this your paper?"
Li Jingxie was so frightened that sweat broke out on his back and he almost cried.
Seeing this, Minister Zhao on the side immediately said, "Li Jingchen, tell the truth! Deceiving the emperor is punishable by death!"
This matter will definitely not be covered up, so it is better to solve the case as soon as possible.
Li Jingxie almost collapsed to the ground, his chin trembling constantly.
The voice was weak and tearful, "No, it's not mine..."
Shangguan Sui snorted coldly upon seeing this.
[This guy finally admitted it! ]
[But he definitely can't do this alone, there must be someone helping him! ]
[The key is to find out who is behind him! That person is the biggest borer! ]
Shangguan Lin nodded after hearing what was going on.
His eyes fell on Li Jingchen again, "Hurry up and tell me! How did you change the test paper? Who helped you?"
Li Jingchen swallowed and slowly read out a name.
"Yes, it's Suli-kun..."
On the other side, Su Mansion.
"Master, we're at your house."
Su Ting rubbed his sore neck and let out a long sigh.
Some time ago, he went out on an inspection tour at the order of the emperor.
After such a long journey, now that my work is done, I can finally return to Beijing.
As soon as Su Ting got off the carriage, he saw Xu, with tears on her face, running towards him.
Xu cried and shouted, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened! Our Jun'er has been taken away by the Emperor! Please save him!"
Su Ting frowned, looking incredulous.
"What? Taken away? Why would the Emperor suddenly take Jun'er away?"
"Tell me what happened?"
Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand and cried so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Just now, a dozen soldiers from the Yulin Army suddenly broke into the mansion and accused him of cheating in the imperial examinations, and took Jun'er away directly..."
Xu raised her tear-stained face and said, "Grandpa, you know our son very well. He is such a well-behaved child, how could he cheat in the imperial examinations..."
Xu grabbed Su Ting's sleeve and cried, "Master, please find a way to save Jun'er. Cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime!"
"Go and beg the Queen Mother. There must be some misunderstanding here!"
After listening to Xu's crying, Su Ting's mind was a mess.
He patted Xu's hand and said, "Madam, don't worry. I will go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother right away."
"We only have one son like Jun'er, I will definitely not let anything happen to him."
After saying this, Su Ting immediately got back on the carriage and drove towards the palace.
On the other side, the imperial palace's study.
Su Lijun knelt on the ground, shouting loudly that he was innocent.
"Your Majesty, I would never dare to cheat in the imperial examination! It was this Li Jingchen who took the opportunity to make trouble!"
"How dare I do such a thing!"
Su Lijun spoke harshly and looked at Shangguan Lin with a face full of righteous indignation.
His back was straight, his eyes were bright and sharp, he looked like a loyal minister!
Shangguan Lin couldn't help but frown as he listened.
Su Lijun speaks so confidently, could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with him?
Shangguan Sui couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw his dead look.
【Come on, why are you pretending?】
[This is the character in the original book. He always looks righteous, but actually does a lot of bad things in private! ]
[But my father still believed him and thought he was a loyal minister.]
Shangguan Lin suddenly woke up when he heard his inner voice ringing in his ears.
