If she is placed in a class for female talents, she will not be able to learn better knowledge, but if she is placed in a class for male talents, her reputation will be damaged.
The chief priest was in great difficulty.
Finally, it was Si Yuhuan herself who asked to study with the talented male students.
She said: "If you care about your reputation now, how can you serve as an official and work with men in the future?"
When the chief priest heard her words, he knew that she was going to target the examiner, so he put aside the difference between men and women and arranged her to the class for male talents.
The male students in the talented male class were very curious to see a girl coming to study in their class, but when they heard that Si Yuhuan's talent was not inferior to theirs, they all looked at her with doubt, disdain and ridicule.
Si Yuhuan didn't care about their attitude at all and devoted herself to studying. When the midterm and college exams came, she would prove that she was no worse than them.
Mu Nanjin was lazy for two days before sending people to collect favorable evidence for the wronged people to clear their names. Both physical and witness evidence were easy to find, but the difficulty lay in the fact that the witnesses were unwilling to come forward to prove that the wronged people were wronged.
Because if they come out to testify, it means that they had previously given false testimony, and they will be beheaded, and their families will also be implicated. In this way, no one dares to come forward to testify for the wronged person.
This point stumped Mu Nanjin.
She can control the witnesses to testify for the wronged, but what about afterwards? After they sober up, they will change their words. Even if no one believes them anymore, it is not difficult to guarantee that they will not be sentenced to death.
Therefore, the biggest problem still lies with the emperor.
If the emperor was willing to issue an edict, many problems would be solved.
[Your Majesty——]
[Your Majesty——]
[Your Majesty——]
Liu Qianhu and others from Qianhu Wenshu Academy: "..."
This is the sentence they have heard the most since they started their shift in the morning.
The person who said this was sitting in the corner, staring out the window in a daze. People who didn't know her would think she was missing her lover.
[Your Majesty——]
Kan Chaoyan, who was far away in another office, stopped the work in his hands.
Even Deng Xingchao from the Right Court heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts. He asked Chen Liangli and Jiang Buzhi, who reported to him, "Mu Nanjin came to the Right Court?"
Chen Liangli and Jiang Buzhi looked at each other and said, "No."
【emperor--】
Deng Xingchao rubbed his head points and said, "It's probably coming from the left courtyard. This voice has spread too far and it's affecting our work."
I don’t know how the people in the Left Courtyard managed to survive after hearing Mu Nanjin’s thoughts every day.
Chen Liangli thought for a moment and said, "Under normal circumstances, it won't reach our Right Courtyard."
Jiang Buzhi replied, "Is this not a normal situation?"
Chen Liangli: “…”
Today is really not an ordinary situation.
Not only did the people in the Duwei Mansion hear it, but soon even the Ministry of Personnel heard it.
[Your Majesty——]
When the official from the Ministry of Personnel who was busy working heard this, he almost sprained his ankle.
The person who was reviewing the document had a trembling hand and made an extra stroke on the paper.
The person who drank the tea almost choked to death.
"Cough cough——" The Minister of Personnel choked and the tea sprayed out of his nose.
He quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped his face: "The emperor is here?"
The Minister of Personnel rushed out of the room and shouted to the passing minor official: "The emperor is here, quickly tell the people in the secretarial office to come out to greet him."
When the official heard this, he hurriedly ran and shouted: "The emperor is coming, everyone, please come out to welcome him - the emperor is coming, everyone, please come out to welcome him -"
Officials poured out from all directions, and those who were using the toilet also ran out in a hurry with their trousers pulled up.
The Minister of Personnel ran out of the Ministry of Personnel with all the people in the Ministry.
The guard who was guarding the gate was sweating profusely.
What are you doing? The Minister of Personnel and other officials saw that the street was empty and there was a flash of confusion in their eyes.
"Where's the Emperor?"
"Didn't they say the emperor was coming? Why is he gone?"
Someone asked the guard at the gate, "Where is the emperor? Didn't they say he was coming?"
The guard at the gate said, "The emperor hasn't come yet."
The Minister of Personnel and others: "..."
[Your Majesty——]
Here it comes again, that voice again.
Tang Wenzong frowned and whispered, "This seems to be Mu Nanjin's voice."
Everyone: “…”
Could this be what she was thinking? "Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor?"
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue next door hurried over and asked, "Isn't the emperor here? Why is he not here?"
The Minister of Personnel said unhappily, "No."
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were stunned: "He didn't come?"
Then officials from the other four ministries also rushed over, but saw people from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue standing on the street with gloomy faces.
The Minister of Rites asked, "What's going on? Where is the Emperor?"
The Minister of Revenue said, "No."
The Minister of Personnel said with a sullen face: "I guess Mu Nanjin is going crazy again."
Everyone: “…”
[Your Majesty——]
Everyone had black lines on their foreheads.
I really want to rush to the Duwei Mansion to protest.
[Your Majesty——]
Not only did the people from the Six Departments hear it, but even the people from other bureaus heard Mu Nanjin's voice.
The emperor, who was far away in the palace, also heard it.
He stopped the brush in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Mu Nanjin is here?"
Commander Gu, who was guarding outside the door, replied, "Your Majesty, no."
"No?" The emperor sighed, "Where did it come from?"
A voice came from Tian Yuan who was guarding nearby: "Mu Nanjin is in the Duwei Mansion."
"It came from so far away?" The emperor frowned. "She is far away in the capital, so why did she call me?"
Commander Gu said, "As long as she stops calling me an assassin, everything can be discussed."
They can't stand being frightened.
And after doing it so many times, he won't be able to tell what is real or fake.
The emperor couldn't help laughing and felt both angry and amused at Mu Nanjin.
Eunuch Yuan didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing that the emperor was happy, he smiled too.
[Emperor——]
The emperor stopped smiling and said to Commander Gu, "Commander Gu, go to the Guards in person and ask Captain Liu and his men to find out what Mu Nanjin is thinking. What exactly does she want to do?"
"yes."
He used his Qinggong skills to run to the gate of the palace, then rode to the Duwei Mansion to find Kan Chaoyan.
Kan Chaoyan resigned himself to his fate and ran to the office of the captains. Seeing that the captains all looked troubled, he coughed and said, "Captain Liu, have you completed your mission?"
Captain Liu looked up and saw Kan Chaoyan constantly winking at him. He understood and said, "Master Kan, it's not finished yet. We will hurry up."
"Well, I'm waiting for your news in the office. Hurry up."
"yes."
Kan Chaoyan left.
Captain Liu stood up and walked to Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, have you finished reading the case files I showed you two days ago?"
"I've finished reading it." Mu Nanjin replied without turning his head.
Captain Liu asked again: "Then do you see the problem? Is there an injustice here?"
“There are several wrongful convictions.”
Mu Nanjin pushed the case file in front of Captain Liu.
Captain Liu glanced at it casually and said, "Since you have determined that there are several unjust cases, why don't you investigate the truth?"
"I checked and found a lot of favorable physical and human evidence."
Captain Liu looked at her in surprise: "Then why didn't you tell us? We can also go and overturn the verdict."
Mu Nanjin asked him back: "If you had given false testimony before, would you be willing to stand up again and testify to clear the grievances of the wronged person?"
"I..." Captain Liu was stumped.
He wanted to say yes, but was afraid of bringing trouble to his family.
"You don't want to either, right? The witnesses don't want to either, because they are afraid of death and their family members will die."
Liu Qianhu asked tentatively: "Is this the reason you were in a daze just now?"
"Yes." Mu Nanjin did not hide it from him: "The key to overturning the case now is the emperor. As long as he issues a notice telling everyone that those who have given false testimony will not be held accountable, then many more people will come forward to testify."
Captain Liu: “…”
No wonder she had been calling the Emperor all morning.
"I will try to report the problem you mentioned to Lord Kan and see if he can tell the emperor about it."
In order to prevent Mu Nanjin from thinking that this matter was particularly easy to handle, he deliberately emphasized: "It has been agreed in advance that this matter can only be handled by submitting a memorial to the emperor. It is not certain whether it will succeed. But I think the probability of the emperor issuing an order is very low, so don't hold out too much hope."
Mu Nanjin nodded.
[I was just thinking about whether to go to the palace to find the emperor, and Captain Liu sent me a pillow, hehe.]
“…”
Captain Liu left the office and found Kan Chaoyan. Seeing Commander Gu sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea, he smiled and said, "What brought Commander Gu to our Duwei Mansion?"
Commander Gu laughed and said, "It was a wind called 'Mu Nan Jin' that brought me here."
Captain Liu asked, "What do you want to see Mu Nanjin about?"
Commander Gu said angrily, "Her voice has reached the palace. The emperor sent me to ask her what happened. Otherwise, if we hear her calling the emperor all morning, no one will be able to work peacefully."
Captain Liu burst out laughing: "I thought only the people in our Duwei Mansion were suffering, but I didn't expect that the news had spread to the palace."
"I guess all the officials in the capital have heard it."
Kan Chaoyan interrupted their conversation and said, "Tell me, what happened to Mu Nanjin? Why did he keep calling the emperor all morning?"
Captain Liu relayed Mu Nanjin's words to them.
Commander Gu and Kan Chaoyan were both quite surprised after hearing this. Mu Nanjin was worried about this matter: "It is impossible to completely pardon those who gave false testimony. This will only encourage the trend of giving false testimony. There may be more and more wrongful convictions in the future. However, we can deal with the witnesses of the current wrongful convictions as appropriate. For example, if the witness gave false testimony because he was threatened, then we can consider pardoning his crime. Also, we will never implicate their families. I believe that many kind people will be willing to stand up."
Commander Gu stood up and said, "I will go back and report this to the emperor now."
He returned to the imperial study in the palace and explained the matter to the emperor: "I am worried about the unjust case..."
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking about, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Just do as she says. I hope she can review that matter again."
However, this matter cannot be done just like that. He has to discuss with the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister on how to handle this matter correctly. Moreover, it cannot be done too quickly to satisfy Mu Nanjin, otherwise she will feel that everything will go smoothly with him.
While the Emperor and the Right Prime Minister were discussing in detail, Feng Sinan came back.
When he returned to Dengxing Pavilion and saw the gift box in the lobby, he asked, "Who sent this?"
Yuxia said as she sorted the gifts: "These were sent by two Taoists who came to pray for a child. They said they were pregnant and sent a bunch of gifts to express their gratitude to the master."
Feng Sinon nodded: "Did anything happen during the time I was away?"
Yuxia thought of Feng Sinan's request to pay more attention to Mu Nanjin's affairs, and said, "Mu Nanjin is now a deputy captain."
"Promoted to deputy captain so quickly?"
"Well, she won first place in the military officer competition."
Feng Sinan was not surprised that Mu Nanjin won the duel: "Anything else?"
Yuxia shook his head: "Nothing has happened recently, but the emperor sent someone to pass on a message, saying that if the master returns, please go to the palace immediately."
Feng Sinan, who was about to sit down, walked out immediately.
Shuyin, who had poured the tea, saw that the master had left again and frowned: "Why did the master leave again?"
She hasn't seen her master for more than a month.
Now that the master has finally come back, he has left again without even saying a word. Will he be gone for more than a month?
Yuxia said: "Master, go see the emperor."
Shuyin said unhappily, "Recently, the Emperor has asked the Master to do more and more things."
In the past, the emperor would only seek help from his master when there was an epidemic in the Daqian Kingdom, but now he would seek help from his master even for the smallest matter.
Yuxia also felt that his master was getting busier and busier, but since his master had no complaints, he didn't say much.
…
After Feng Sinan entered the palace, he went straight to the imperial study.
The emperor was very excited when he learned that the imperial teacher had returned, and he quickly told him about the eldest princess and the fact that the imperial teacher David had disguised himself as a teacher in the Imperial College.
When Feng Sinon heard this, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will take care of this matter."
He came and went in a hurry.
Feng Sinan briefly reported the situation in the disaster area to the emperor and then quickly left the palace.
That night, he came to a private house.
The house was just an ordinary courtyard house. There was a candle lit in one of the rooms, but when Feng Sinan came to the yard, the fire in the house was extinguished.
Lu Feichen in the house quickly came out of the yard. When he saw that the person coming was Feng Sinan, he was a little surprised, but also felt that it was expected.
Feng Si Nan lowered his voice: "You have crossed the line."
Lu Feichen said calmly: "My crossing the line is a small matter, but your delay in fulfilling the agreement is a big matter."
Feng Sinan remained silent.
Lu Feichen asked tentatively: "Don't you want to do this too?"
Feng Sinon remained silent.
Lu Feichen couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he could only continue, "How about we cooperate?"
"Cooperation?" Feng Sinan looked distrustful of him.
"Yes, I am sincere in my cooperation. You can try to trust me."
Feng Sinon asked him back: "Do you think there is a need for us to cooperate?"
"I don't want to die, and you want to live, do you think we should cooperate?"
Feng Sinan was silent for a moment: "If you want me to believe your sincerity, then go to the Duwei Mansion to find Mu Nanjin."
Lu Feichen: "..." (End of this chapter)
