Chapter 192: The Duke's Mansion is Besieged

After tidying up, he went out. He turned around and headed towards the city gate.

The three beggars who left were not so happy that they forgot everything.

"Boss, what does this young man want to do?" A asked in confusion.

"Maybe he is too bored with his rich life, so he wants to be a beggar to experience what it feels like." The boss looked up at the sky and blinked. If there was a way out, who would be willing to be a beggar who had to look at people's faces every day, eat food given out of pity, and live in the dust.

"Boss, the whole city is looking for a student who passed the imperial examination today. Could he be the one? The Ministry of Justice has posted a list of candidates, and the reward is quite a bit, one thousand taels. If we can find the person, the one thousand taels is enough for the three of us to buy land and live a good life with wives and children." Yi became more and more excited.

"Yes. Let's go and report to the authorities." The boss took his two companions without hesitation and headed towards the Ministry of Justice.

For the one thousand taels of silver, they had to fight.

In the end, they ran, fearing that Huang Shaoteng would be faster than them and get out of the city.

The gatekeeper of the Ministry of Justice saw three beggars in luxurious clothes but with unkempt hair running over, one of whom was waving a dog-beating stick in his hand. He was stunned for a moment and wanted to run away, but they shouted that there was news.

As a result, Huang Shaoteng fell into the trap unluckily.

All one hundred and twenty people were gathered together.

Everyone was required to write an article and sign it.

The Ministry of Rites immediately organized a handwriting comparison.

In fact, they basically knew who they were. But evidence is necessary, otherwise how can they explain to the students all over the world.

In the end, the handwriting of three people did not match the test paper.

The three were taken away by the Ministry of Justice.

The others returned to their positions.

One hundred and sixteen people were all shocked.

Feng Yuanhao was an exception.

At the same time, Yun Ransheng knew that the matter was serious. He

immediately went to the palace to discuss it with Zheng He.

At this time, his reflection time had long passed.

When Zheng He learned about this, she was so scared that she fell directly on the imperial concubine's couch.

She had no idea what her father had done.

"Why is my father so brave? Sheng'er, what should I do now?" Zheng He was completely at a loss.

Once this is done, it will be a grave crime that will involve the punishment of three clans.

"Mother, I didn't expect it to develop to this point. My grandfather also arranged two people last time, but nothing happened.

This time, my bad luck is that I met someone who is too knowledgeable, and he got the second place in the exam, which led to the truth."

"What's the use of saying this now? Think of a way to save your grandfather, everything he did was for you." Zheng He held Yun Ransheng tightly.

At this time, she completely lost her mind and couldn't think calmly.

Because this matter is too big.

Who dares to take action in the imperial examination? That is the only hope for students all over the world to succeed.

Once it breaks out, the entire capital, and even the surrounding students, will have to go to Beijing to tear down the Zheng Guogong Mansion.

"Mother, grandpa has no other choice. Now we have to find a way to get me out, otherwise we will all be finished." Yun Ransheng was also afraid.

He really couldn't handle the ancient times. When he came here, he was just a college student who was about to graduate. He had no social experience at all. He

had no experience of surviving in ancient times.

He had only been making small troubles in these years.

After listening to Yun Ransheng's words, Zheng He suddenly woke up. Yes, the first thing to protect is the prince. As long as the prince is fine, everything can be considered in the long run.

Zheng He immediately wrote a letter and asked his confidant to send it out of the palace. However,

as soon as the letter was delivered to the Duke Zheng's Mansion, the Imperial Guards surrounded the Duke Zheng's Mansion.

As for the Ministry of Justice, the three were taken to the cell, and before they were tortured, they took the initiative to confess.

The three of them are sons of wealthy businessmen. Duke Zheng sent people to contact their families. As long as they cooperate more with the Zheng family in business and give a certain amount of silver every year, they can be guaranteed to pass the imperial examination.

Two of them have already given 200,000 taels of silver, and one has given 150,000 taels of silver.

The Minister of Justice Cao Zhongliang did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor.

The Duke's Mansion is the top of the nobles.

The title of the Duke of Zheng's Mansion has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

The ancestors of the Zheng family have exchanged for their merits at the cost of many lives, but in the following generations, they have gradually lost the wisdom of their ancestors.

Until the end, they relied on marrying their daughters into the palace to maintain their glory, and now they are heading towards extinction.

But no matter what, it is still a Duke's Mansion with deep roots.

After listening to Cao Zhongliang's report, Yun Hongxiao ordered the imperial guards to surround the Duke Zheng's mansion without saying a word.

Duke Zheng, who had just received a letter from his daughter, read it hastily and felt sad.

His daughter asked him to take all the responsibilities and save the second prince.

His carefully cultivated daughter abandoned him as a father in the face of interests.

Alas!

But the current situation does not allow him to think too much.

Yes, as long as the second prince is not involved, the Zheng family still has hope. Thinking of his younger son who was sent away by himself, he accepted it.

"Duke, Duke, it's bad, the imperial guards have surrounded the Duke's mansion." A servant rushed into his study and reported in panic.

Zheng Zigang, who had calmed down, was already numb. It was a matter of time.

The old Duke had died, and his mother had died even earlier. He was the oldest in the Duke's Mansion, and he was fifty this year.

He should bear the responsibility alone.

"I know."

"Dad." Zheng Rong had someone push his wheelchair over.

He had lost his mobility and lived in a daze every day, but as long as the Duke's Mansion didn't fall, he could survive as a parasite. But if the Duke's Mansion ceased to exist, he wouldn't even be able to survive.

Even ants try to survive, let alone humans. Of course he was afraid of death.

"Ming'er, it's hard to get through this in the Duke's Mansion. If you can survive, live well. Take good care of your two children." Zheng Zigang earnestly told his eldest son.

Perhaps these were his last words.

At this time, people from all rooms hurried to the outside of Zheng Zigang's study.

"Brother!" Zheng Ziming, the second room, cried out as soon as he saw Zheng Zigang.

"Everyone is here. As the head of the family, I will say a few words. You all must live well. As long as you are alive, there is hope. I will take care of everything. Go back to your rooms and hide whatever you can on your body, especially the women. Concubine Zheng and the second prince will find a way to save your lives."

When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed and hurried back to their rooms to hide some valuables.

The imperial guards only surrounded the place and did not come in to arrest anyone.

After the Ministry of Justice had the testimony, it immediately went to find the three students who were replaced by them, but all three died.

At this time, Xie Wenyuan sounded the drum of the Beijing government office.

When Yuan Yinan heard that the person coming was Xie Wenyuan, he immediately went to

the court. Few people came to beat the drum of the redress of grievance, which immediately attracted the people passing by.

Then they soon surrounded the government office to watch the excitement.

"Who is the next station, and what is the grievance?" Yuan Yinan asked seriously.

Xie Wenyuan was originally a prosecutor, so he didn't need to kneel when he saw Yuan Yinan.

"I am Xie Wenyuan, a student from Zhonghe County, Mingyang City, who came to Beijing to take the exam. I sued Zheng Zigang, the Duke of Zheng, for taking human lives and killing innocent people." Xie Wenyuan said it in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Xie Wenyuan? Weren't you burned to death in the fire? I sent someone to collect your body."

"Sir, it wasn't me who was burned to death, it was the person who wanted to kill me. It was Prince Feng of Feng Mansion who saved me."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."
