Chapter 589: Something big happened last night
Xie Yingmian asked tentatively.
Looking at Yan Qing's hesitant and incoherent speech, it was confirmed.
The woman Yan Qing fell in love with was indeed Miss Wutong.
To be precise, Yanqing fell in love with Miss Wutong at first sight, but he didn't know what Wutong thought.
Wutong can't hear or speak, and there's no written communication with them, so communication is extremely difficult.
Xie Yingmian looked for Ji Yunshu, who could understand the words used by Wutong.
Because the Autumn Examination was over, Ji Yunshu was very, very busy.
All the posts she handed to Ji Yunshu fell into oblivion.
Xie Yingmian also knew that the Autumn Examination case was at a critical juncture and Ji Yunshu could not be distracted for the time being, so he had to put it aside temporarily.
In mid-September, the second batch of osmanthus flowers bloom.
When the fragrance of the sky permeated the streets and alleys of Shangjing City,
The old people in Beijing knew that the day for the announcement of the results of the autumn examination had arrived.
On the day the results were announced, the entire Upper Kyoto was bustling with people.
The high school students were in all kinds of expressions, some laughing out loud, some crying their hearts out, and some remaining calm.
Without exception, the students who failed the exam beat their chests and stamped their feet in dejection.
The same goes for people who place bets and wagers. Some make a fortune, while others lose everything.
Some people howled, some laughed, some were angry, and some were sad...
Life is going on as usual.
After nightfall.
The boiling Shangjing finally calmed down.
What no one knows is that
As soon as the third watch drum sounded, the masters from the Shangjing government office, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the Six Criminal Departments, the Four Departments, and the palace guards, the Zi Ni Guards, all gathered in the front hall of the palace.
Midnight.
The signal for action is given.
The people from the Four Departments, holding the imperial seal, rushed everywhere and arrested many people.
These people were grabbed while they were sleeping, their clothes were in disarray and they couldn't escape.
At daybreak, all the people were arrested and thrown into prison.
The prisons in the government office were not enough, so they borrowed prisons from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Six Criminal Departments.
the next day.
Only then did the people realize that something big had happened last night.
The Mu family was involved in cheating in the Autumn Examination and was thrown into prison.
Dunguo Mansion and Muguo Mansion are related, but because Dunguo Mansion and Muguo Mansion have separated, Dunguo Mansion has only been sealed for the time being.
In addition to the Mu State Mansion, several important officials in charge of supervising the examination and dozens of successful candidates were also arrested.
The charge was cheating in the imperial examination.
For a time, the capital was in an uproar, with everyone discussing this matter.
The emperor ordered Ji Yunshu to personally supervise the case.
Ji Yunshu had been planning this for many years and had already obtained the entire crime chain and arrested everyone in the chain.
The case is clear, the physical evidence is complete, and the victims and witnesses are all present.
The perpetrator has no excuse.
The verdict came out quickly.
The Mu family not only participated in cheating in the case and collected huge amounts of property, but also murdered many students who should have passed the exam. Their behavior was extremely bad.
The emperor ordered the red-lettered iron certificate of the Mu State Mansion to be taken back.
All the male members of the Mu State Mansion were beheaded in public, the women were exiled three thousand miles away, and the servants' indentures were taken back and they were sold again to various places.
Dunguo Prefecture was also implicated.
Although he was not beheaded, he was sentenced to exile.
Because the old lady of Dunguo Mansion, Princess Mingyi, passed away, the three brothers of the Cui family and a large number of masters sent Princess Mingyi's coffin back to their hometown. They needed to be summoned back to Beijing and then exiled.
The people who stayed in Dunguo Mansion, including the women who married in, had received the divorce letters more than a month ago.
For example, Cui Gu’s eldest daughter-in-law.
When Cui Gu's eldest daughter-in-law received the divorce letter, she almost collapsed.
She couldn't believe that her husband, who had always been considerate to her, would divorce her just because she didn't want to go to mourn for Princess Mingyi.
She cried and made a fuss.
She tore up the divorce papers fiercely and threw them at her husband's face.
At that time, her husband didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a helpless look.
She thought her husband would never mention divorce again.
Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, the housekeeper brought the divorce agreement again and asked her to file it with the government.
She was very angry.
The housekeeper only carried out his master's orders and waited for her to divorce.
In a rage, she went to the government office and filed a divorce agreement.
After her divorce, the housekeeper returned all her dowry.
She even sent the indentures of the servants in her yard as compensation.
She thought this was an insult from the Cui family and was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted, lying in bed.
until----
When she heard the news that Mu Guofu was confiscated and beheaded, and Dun Guofu was confiscated and exiled, she realized her husband's good intentions.
Her husband was not forcing her to divorce, but was looking for a way out for her.
The Dayu Dynasty could establish female households.
Her dowry was very generous, and the Cui family returned it all, ensuring that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Cui Gan’s wife had the same experience.
Cui Gan became a monk in his middle age, and Mrs. Cui remained a widow for most of her life.
She argued and made a fuss, but gradually she became calm.
Just when she thought she would be a widow until her death, Cui Gan gave her a divorce letter.
She did not make a fuss, but immediately took the divorce papers to file for record, completely severing ties with the Cui family.
She is old, her parents and brothers are dead, and her nephews are not close to her.
With no mother's home to go to, she lived in her own small house.
The housekeeper returned her dowry the next day and also gave her the indentures of the servants in her yard, which she gladly accepted.
It is best for a couple who have become strangers to go their separate ways.
Mrs. Cui has always thought so.
However, when the news of the confiscation of the Dunguo Mansion came, she held the divorce letter in her hand and burst into tears.
