The emperor pondered for a moment and said.
"I understand. I will take care of your matter. Today we are mainly hearing the case of the Spring Examination, so your case will be put aside for now."
"Yes, I am not in a hurry. I just want to testify for them, so I have no choice but to tell the truth."
De'an explained.
This made the emperor nod his head in satisfaction. Since his sister had suffered such an injustice, he naturally had to seek justice for her.
Looking at Tang Yi again, his expression had softened a lot. This man was his nephew and had royal blood flowing in his veins.
He is definitely not the kind of person who is partial and corrupt.
Princess De'an sat behind the emperor and continued to listen.
The most confused person present was Tang Yi. He couldn't tell whether what the princess said was true or she was deliberately telling this outrageous lie for herself and the Jiang family.
He looked at the gentle expression of the eldest princess, and felt in his heart that what she said was true, and that he was her child.
Moreover, he always knew that he was an orphan. He originally thought that he was abandoned by his biological parents, but he didn't expect that he was only abandoned by his own father.
His biological mother was actually the eldest princess.
"Master Lu, there's no need to investigate speculation. The Dali Temple handles cases based on evidence."
The emperor said lightly.
Lord Lu was startled, realizing that the Emperor was going to make a decision for this nephew who had suddenly appeared.
He quickly said, "It seems that Tang Yi and the Jiang family are indeed innocent."
"Yang Lin, you keep saying that Tang Yi and you cheated together. Do you have any evidence, witnesses or physical evidence?"
Yang Lin was also frightened by this sudden change. Originally, Tang Yi was just a poor boy with some talent. He just needed to hold on to him and distract his firepower.
Whether there is solid evidence or not, people will think in their hearts that he cheated.
But now Yang Lin has transformed himself into the eldest princess's son. If he cannot produce evidence, he will be slandering the royal family, which is a serious crime.
Changing his words at this time is undoubtedly the best choice for him.
But thinking of that person, he told him that as long as he could bring down the Jiang and Yu families together, his life would be saved and the Yang family would not be implicated.
For a moment, he didn't know what to choose.
"Yang Lin, I want to ask you a question."
Seeing that he remained silent, Lord Lu shouted at him.
Yang Lin looked up at him, gritted his teeth and insisted.
"Your Excellency, there is no evidence. For something like this, the fewer people who know about it, the better. We were the only two people in the room at the time."
"But Tang Yi definitely knew it. Otherwise, why did Tang Yi answer it when no one else could?"
That’s right, Yang Lin had no evidence, but as long as he insisted that Tang Yi had seen the test questions and that Tang Yi had answered the policy question, Tang Yi would not be able to clear his name.
Tang Yi cannot clear his name, and the Jiang family, which has connections with both Tang Yi and the Yu family, will naturally be suspected.
The man said that as long as he could prove Yu Zhongxin's guilt and throw dirty water on the Jiang family, it would be enough.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot change his confession.
Otherwise, everything he said before would be doubted.
"Sir Lu, Yang Lin keeps saying that he and Tang Yi looked at the exam questions together in advance. So, could I ask you to prepare some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone so that they can both write down the question from memory?"
Yu Zhongxin's words made everyone present confused. The Spring Examination had already ended. Regardless of whether they knew about it in advance or not, they had already known the question in the examination room. How could it prove anything?
But Yu Zhongxin insisted, "Master Lu, please ask them to write it down again."
Lord Lu glanced at the emperor, and when he saw him nod, he spoke.
"Since Lord Yu has such a request, then I will follow your instructions and prepare two sets of pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones."
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were quickly prepared. Yang Lin and Tang Yi stood opposite each other and began to write down the test questions.
The test questions were short and they finished them quickly.
When the test questions that the two people had written down were displayed, everyone discussed it as expected.
"What's there to write about? Isn't it exactly the same?"
"That's right, Lord Yu is trying to get away with it, and he's gone a little crazy because he can't find any evidence."
"No, it's different."
A student in the crowd noticed something unusual and spoke loudly about it.
"The test questions written by Tang Yi are exactly the same as ours, but Yang Lin's are a little different."
Only then did everyone observe carefully and found that the first sentence was exactly the same, but the second sentence had two wrong words. Although there was only a difference of two words, the meaning was very different.
This exam question stumped many students, so everyone who took part in the Spring Examination was deeply impressed by it and it was impossible for them to remember it wrong.
So why did Yang Lin make the mistake?
Yang Lin looked confused. He remembered that the test questions were exactly the same as what he had written. How could they be wrong?
Only then did Yu Zhongxin speak.
"This exam question written by Yang Lin was written by me, but I wasn't very satisfied with it, so I asked my clerk, Mo Shu, to dispose of it. However, I didn't tell him that the exam question was invalid. So, he thought it was a policy question for the Spring Examination and sold it to Yang Lin privately."
Mo Shu looked at him and shook his head in confusion. "No, I have already burned the one that the master asked me to destroy. The one behind it is the one that the master asked me to give to Mr. Yang."
I have to say that Mo Shu is indeed smart. Even in this situation, he can react quickly to refute Yu Zhongxin's words.
He was half right. He did destroy the useless question. He didn't dare to take the risk of selling an uncertain strategy to Yang Lin.
What he sold to Yang Lin was stolen from Yu Zhongxin's study.
As for why it was different from the Spring Examination, he didn't understand. Perhaps Yu Zhongxin deliberately designed it for him.
But he didn't understand why, if Yu Zhongxin had suspected him a long time ago, he didn't expose him directly and prevent this from happening.
At this point, Yu Zhongxin cannot escape unscathed no matter what.
"At this point, you still want to quibble." Yu Zhongxin laughed.
"You betrayed your master for money and cheated in the Spring Examination. This is truly an unforgivable crime."
"Yang Lin believed that the exam questions he received were correct. Therefore, in the exam room, he only took a glance and determined that the policy question was exactly the same as the one in the exam room, without even reading the rest of the content."
"If you don't believe me, you can take out Yang Lin's test paper and see if he answered the question correctly."
The emperor gave a look and the guards behind him immediately went to find Yang Lin's test questions.
Yang Lin shook his head in disbelief. How could it be possible? He spent so much money, but ended up buying a fake test paper.
In other words, he could have gotten into high school without spending any money, but it was because of his lack of confidence that he ended up in this situation today.
It's really ridiculous.
