Those who were unhappy because they failed the test echoed this.
Qing'er tried to refute him, and the slander against Shen Ci made her eyes red, but he only had one mouth after all, and Shen Ci couldn't speak. The two sides even started pushing and shoving.
There was a commotion in front of the government office.
Ye Qingyue gave the officers a look.
The officers drew their swords expressionlessly and shouted, "Silence! Anyone who makes any more noise will be thrown into jail."
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Ye Qingyue at the same time.
Ye Qingyue glanced at everyone, his face indifferent, his tone calm: "I supervised the assessment, and I also corrected the papers. After correcting all the papers, I submitted them to the prefect. She had no objection, and Shen Ci did not cheat."
Everyone was shocked. They never expected that the prefect would entrust such an important task as grading the examination papers to Ye Qingyue. This showed how much trust he had in her.
Ye Qingyue looked at the person who first questioned Shen Ci, “You questioned Shen Ci’s cheating, can I think that you are questioning the prefect?”
With just one sentence, everyone was silenced instantly.
Questioning the prefect! ?
Are you kidding? Who would dare to do that? Unless he doesn't want to stay in Tangzhou Prefecture anymore, who would seek death like that?
The man who questioned Shen Ci's face changed. Looking at Ye Qingyue, his expression twisted slightly for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could I possibly question the prefect? It's really suspicious that a mute beggar who has never been to school can pass the assessment."
Ye Qingyue looked at him leisurely, with a faint arc at the corner of his lips, "Why, do you think you are better than Shen Ci?"
"Of course." Admitting that he had imported a dumb beggar was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
Ye Qingyue: "From just now until now, every word you say has been belittling the mute. What's the point? Just because you can't speak and have a disability, does that mean people should look down on you? The current empress was born with one finger missing, so I can understand that you are belittling Her Majesty?"
Anything that has anything to do with the government or the royal family can turn a small matter into a big one.
When the current empress was still the fifth princess, she was indeed born with one finger missing. Because of this, it was considered unlucky, and she was bullied countless times in her childhood.
After the death of the previous emperor, the poor little Fifth Princess, who was unknown and bullied by others, unexpectedly surpassed everyone and relied on herself to become the winner in the fight for the throne and successfully became the empress.
In the month that she became queen, countless people died. Almost all of them were people who had mocked her disability. One of them was even torn into pieces by five horses.
After that, the Queen's fingers became a taboo topic of discussion in the capital.
Of course, apart from the capital, other places are not allowed to criticize.
If the criticized queen is caught, her fate will definitely be tragic, and even the entire family will be implicated.
When he thought of this possibility, the man shuddered and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You, you, you are talking nonsense. I didn't mention Her Majesty the Queen at all. Don't accuse me of anything just to protect this Ya, Shen Ci."
"You don't admit it. Otherwise, I will go with you to argue in front of the prefect." Ye Qingyue said softly.
The man wanted to spit at Ye Qingyue. Everyone knew that Ye Qingyue was eloquent and that the prefect valued Ye Qingyue. If he really went before the prefect with Ye Qingyue, he would definitely be in trouble. Moreover, based on what he had just said, if the prefect really wanted to investigate it, it would indeed be no small matter.
