Chapter 72



Of course, although Yan Shu was a little tired from writing the script recently, she was still enthusiastic about watching the show.

So when she received the news, she immediately called the system again, "What's going on? Is this Liu Zhengxin's story true?"

But she heard the system say, "It is true. Liu Zhengxin once passed the imperial examination when he was young and became a very small official in a county in Huainan. He was actually very greedy for money, and seeing that there was really no money to be made from being a small official, he lost interest. 】

【However, through the opportunities in the government office, he found that being a lawyer was actually quite lucrative, so he simply resigned and became a lawyer, and only worked as a lawyer for rich people, charging them high litigation fees, and then using his connections to take out a portion of the fees to bribe the county officials. Wouldn't he be able to win the case? This happened several times in a row, and he unexpectedly became famous. Gradually, rich people would go to him for lawsuits. 】

Yan Shu frowned and said, 【Then, what if those rich people are not right? 】

The system made a sound, 【He doesn't care whether the rich people are right or not, he just wants money. Anyway, the victims would only blame the county officials for their greed and inability to distinguish right from wrong, and rarely blame him.

Yan Shu immediately looked disdainful, "Tsk, he turned out to be a heartless person! All the sage books he read were wasted! Then how did he open the academy later?

System, "Later, the county officials in office changed several times, and finally a good and upright official came. Liu Zhengxin heard the news and knew that he could not make it in this line of work, so he changed his career. At first, he opened a private school, and later, with his ability to cheat, he became bigger and bigger, and opened an academy.

Yan Shu was puzzled, "But an academy can't be opened casually, right? If you want to be famous, you must have a good teacher, and the students must have good grades. 】

System,【This guy is really good at getting by. He has been fighting guilty lawsuits for so many years and has saved a lot of money. Now he spends a lot of money to hire famous people and go everywhere to recruit good students. Isn't he slowly rising?】

Yan Shu,【... Tsk, no wonder this guy would compete with Ge Yuanhua for students. So this is how it works.】

In this way, the matter is temporarily clear. Yan Shu asked curiously,【Who wrote this report letter this time?】

But the system said,【It was Ji Yuanzhuo, a great man in Jinling.】

Yan Shu widened her eyes,【Why did this gentleman write a report letter for no reason? 】

System, [Well, Jinling is not far from Huai'an. Liu Zhengxin spends a lot of money to recruit students. He has recruited students from several families in recent years. Seeing that good apprentices were lured away by money, how can a master not be angry! If I expose him in person, I am afraid that I will appear to be petty. Seeing that you have exposed all the secrets of Ge Yuanhua, I hope to expose this person with you. 】

Okay, Yan Shu understood.

Someone like Liu Zhengxin certainly cannot be the principal of Songhe Academy, but it is not enough for her to expose this matter by writing a storybook!

After all, Liu Zhengxin's bribery and lawsuit were old things many years ago, and it was far away from the capital. There was no victim nearby. Even if she wrote it, others might not be able to guess who it was.

However, this bribery is against the law, so it would be more efficient to ask the emperor to handle it directly.

She then handed the letter directly to Ren Dong and said, "Send it to the Qianming Palace to your majesty, and tell him that I have confirmed that everything said here is true."

Ren Dong agreed and sent the letter to the Qianming Palace.

Not long after, the emperor in the Qianming Palace saw the letter of revelations sent by his beloved concubine.

"..."

How did another one come out?

How did these scumbags get to their current status?

And they even walked into his Wenyuan Pavilion openly and talked about morality with him righteously? ? ?

In anger, Yuwen Lan immediately summoned people from the Censorate and handed the letter to them for investigation.

No matter if it was ten or twenty years, he would never let go of those who had treated the law as a joke.

Fortunately, Liu Zhengxin has always performed mediocrely and was not considered as a candidate for the position of the headmaster.

However...

what's the matter with these letters of accusation?

Did they regard Master Xiaoyao as his Jinyiwei of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

~~

Unexpectedly... it was indeed the case.

A few days later, the king received another letter of accusation from his beloved concubine -

Lu Gaozhi, a famous scholar in Songshan, had used his student status to make money in the countryside, and was later sued by the villagers to the government. The upright county magistrate reprimanded him in court. He felt insulted, so he bribed the county magistrate's superior to report him, causing him to lose his official position in vain.

Yuwen Lan, "..." He was so angry

that he slammed the table!

Of course, after I was angry, I still asked someone to investigate on the spot. Fortunately, the place where this person committed the crime was not far from the capital, and it was verified within a few days.

He ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the spot to investigate and prosecute this person and the officials who had accepted bribes one by one.

In addition, they also scolded the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for posting messages to these famous Confucian scholars and asked them to see who they could invite to Beijing this time.

That night, Yu Wenlan came to Ganlu Hall.

Yan Shu had been eating melons for several days. Knowing that the emperor was very angry these days, she hurriedly offered tea to reduce the fire.

"The weather is hot. Your Majesty, please drink some herbal tea to cool down the heat."

Yu Wenlan muttered, took the cup and drank it in one breath.

Yan Shu, "..."

But she saw that someone's face was still a little cold.

Yan Shu had no choice but to help him unbutton his clothes. When he got on the couch, she tried to persuade him, "Since ancient times, there have always been people with two faces. It is better to find them now than to let them continue to harm people's livelihood. Your Majesty, you don't need to be too angry. After all, you can't prevent the world from being full of bad people, right?"

Yuwen Lan sighed.

Although this is the truth, as a king, he still can't help but be angry.

Seeing this, Yan Shu thought he was worried about the candidate for the president of Songhe Academy, so she comforted him, "It doesn't matter. Even if four unreliable people leave in succession, there are still several left. We can always choose the right person to be the president."

Well, of course, no matter how many are left, she still thinks that only Qi Daxueshi is the most suitable to be the president.

After all, he has real talent and knowledge, and there is no problem with his morals. The most important thing is that he has a previous relationship with the Queen Mother.

If they could stay in the capital, even if they couldn't be together, they would hear from each other from time to time and meet each other occasionally, which was better than being separated from each other.

Wuwu, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry when she thought of this.

Yuwen Lan, who was listening silently, "..."

This girl, writes so many storybooks and eats so many melons every day, and she still has time to worry about others and cry...

Can't she think about him when she is free?

Just as she was about to speak, she heard her say, "In fact, I have confirmed that the safest candidates this time are the four most famous masters, such as Mr. Ji from Jinling, Mr. Gu from Lanling, Mr. Yu from Nanyang, and Mr. Qi from Langya..."

She coughed deliberately and said, "I think Mr. Qi is really good. He speaks calmly and has a graceful demeanor. You can tell he has a solid background at first glance. I also heard that he once served as a senior scholar of Zhongji Palace. In this case, how can we Isn't he more familiar with the affairs of the court? I think he should be a very suitable candidate. "

She looked at him again, full of expectation, and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Yuwen Lan did not comment, but said, "I heard that he is not interested in this matter, and he is still planning to go back to his hometown this time."

Yan Shu said, "Others have to go back too, and they have families to support. Mr. Qi is alone, isn't it more appropriate for him to stay?"

Yuwen Lan still didn't say anything. But

in his heart, he was thinking, this Qi Shuguang has not married for so many years, could it be that he is still thinking about the Queen Mother?

A man, for an impossible woman, can really wait so long?

He tried to put this matter on himself.

If Yan Shu is not his woman...

No, this is impossible!

How could such a lovely girl fall into the hands of others?

He immediately stopped thinking about it and directly pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Humph, who cares what kind of scumbag he is, how can we waste this night of love?

The unexpected kiss also made Yan Shu a little dizzy and turned away.

But she soon immersed herself in it...

ahem, I have been focusing on eating melons these days and almost forgot that meat is also very delicious.

Hehe.

~~

After a night of entanglement in the bed, Yan Shu slept comfortably until noon the next day.

She got up, washed, and had a leisurely breakfast. When she was thinking about what fun to find today, she saw Fu Hai sent her another letter.

Tsk, probably because of the recent new books, the readers are also very enthusiastic. The letters in the past few days have more than doubled compared to last month.

Of course, there are probably also people who write to report to her.

Yan Shu is very much looking forward to it. After receiving the letter, she hurried to read it.

She read more than ten letters in a row, all of which were from ordinary readers.

Just when she was about to go out and stretch her muscles, she was startled by a letter she just opened.

It was a letter of accusation.

However, the person who reported was not someone else, but her idol, Master Qi!

The letter said that Master Qi had bought a concubine from a wealthy businessman in Fengqiu two years ago.

Yan Shu, "???"

That's not right, Master Qi is obviously single! How could he buy a concubine?

She immediately called the system, [Everyone, what's going on with this letter? Is he slandering my idol?]

The system said, [It can't be considered a slander. Qi Shuguang did buy a concubine from a wealthy businessman in Fengqiu two years ago, but that concubine was the daughter of his old friend, and he didn't buy her because of lust.

Yan Shu asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Tell me in detail. Don't keep me in suspense." The

system then explained further, "Master Qi had a classmate in his early years, named Bi Zimo. The two took the imperial examination together, and Master Qi won the second place and entered the Hanlin Academy. This classmate Bi also passed the imperial examination and was assigned to Fengqiu as a small county official. This classmate Bi was a good person, but his life was short. He died in the local area after more than ten years in office, leaving behind a family of orphans and widows.

Because Bi Zimo was also an honest official, he was unable to save any money while in office, and his family became increasingly poor. His son was also not very promising. As he grew up, he could not even afford to marry a wife. 】

【However, the youngest girl of the Bi family was very beautiful. As soon as she grew up, she was favored by a wealthy businessman in Fengqiu. The wealthy businessman discussed with Bi Zimo's son and paid 500 taels of silver to buy the girl as a concubine. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but vomit blood, [What kind of brother is this? He doesn't have money to marry a wife and doesn't want to make money for himself, but

he actually sold his sister? 】 System, [Isn't it true? Especially since the wealthy businessman is nearly 40 years old and can almost be his father, the little sister of the Bi family must be unwilling, but there is nothing she can do. After a while, it happened that Mr. Qi passed by Fengqiu for something. He originally wanted to visit the Bi family, but he heard about this and couldn't help but feel sorry for his classmate. 】

【It just so happened that the girl from the Bi family heard about his coming and wanted to ask him to help her get out of trouble, so Mr. Qi went to discuss it with the rich businessman. He originally wanted to persuade him with emotion and reason, but the other party asked him for 800 taels of silver, saying that as long as he could afford 800 taels of silver, he would let the girl go free. 】

Yan Shu was about to vomit blood when she heard this, 【800 taels? This is a complete profiteer! What the hell! Did Mr. Qi give it to her? 】

She was a little worried, after all, her idol didn't look that rich...

The system said yes, [Mr. Qi didn't have that much money, but he had to save the person, so he scraped together money from here and there, and even sold two sets of famous paintings that he had collected in his early years, and finally collected 800 taels of silver to buy the girl from the Bi family. 】

【However, he was a grown man alone after all, so after buying the girl, he entrusted the girl to a fellow villager who had raised money with him, and asked the man's wife to adopt the girl as her goddaughter. After a while, the fellow villager helped find a reliable man, and the girl was willing to remarry, so she married her goddaughter to him. Now it has been two years, the couple is living happily together, has a son, and is leading a good life.

Yan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but exclaim, "My idol is indeed a good person!"

And in some ways, he is a bit like her father.

But who wrote this letter?

Does this person know the whole story? Or does he only know a little bit?

Why doesn't he tell the whole story?

System, [This letter was written by a professor at Baima Academy, An Hongsheng. He is not far from Fengqiu, and he knew clearly about Qi Xueshi's money-making. Now he is writing to you, and he is trying to discredit Mr. Qi. After all, Mr. Qi seems to be the most suitable person to be the dean.]

Yan Shu was furious when she heard this, [Since he knew about this, it would be fine if he didn't help, but he also planned to discredit my idol by cutting off the whole thing? ? ?]

Humph, he must not be let off lightly!!!
