Only then was Cao Yangyun satisfied. He waved his hand to signal his men to let go of Cao San.
"Say it."
Cao San, who was paralyzed on the ground, was trembling on his knees, his eyes glancing at the instruments of torture from time to time.
"Sir, who asked me to tell you? I really don't know."
"Someone found me a few days ago and asked him to go to the front of Hanmo Villa today and say something loudly. He taught me what he said. He also said he would give him ten gold coins afterward."
"The villain has never seen so much money. I agreed because I was greedy for money. The other villains really don't know!"
"Sir, please spare this villain's life."
After saying that, he started kowtowing on the ground with a "bang bang bang" sound that made everyone's heart tremble.
Seeing how greedy for life and afraid of death, Cao Yangyun thought that he would not dare to lie to himself.
"Okay, stop knocking."
"Then do you remember what that person looks like?"
After hearing his question, Cao San stopped kowtowing.
When he raised his head, he looked a little embarrassed and said solemnly: "Sir... I have never seen that person's appearance."
"Every time he comes, he wears a Ruo hat and covers his face tightly. He also stands very far away, so the villain can't see clearly."
"However, if he speaks in front of the little ones, the little ones will definitely be able to recognize his voice!"
"You know so much when you're young, and you really don't know anything else!"
"Just spare the little one's life!"
Without appearance, you can only recognize people by their voices?
Xianyang City is so big and has such a large population, how can we find this person?
Cao Yangyun glanced at Cao San angrily, and Cao San immediately lowered his head, for fear of accidentally irritating him again.
Seeing this, he also knew that he would not get any news from Cao San.
"Lock him up first!"
"Let him think about it and see what else he can think of!"
Cao San, who was already nervous, had a flash of panic in his eyes when he heard this. Then he knelt forward a few steps and pulled the corner of Cao Yangyun's clothes.
"grown ups!"
"The little one still has an eighty-year-old mother at home. Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again!"
Obviously, Cao Yangyun would not believe this statement at all.
And what exactly happened, he still needed to ask Ran Fang to see how the matter should be resolved?
He stood up, turned around and left without giving Cao San another chance to plead for mercy.
Looking at his leaving figure, Cao San's eyes flashed with deep worry, but he did not yell like before and allowed the jailer to pull him into the cell.
It looked like he had accepted his fate.
…
The next day, go up early in the morning.
Wang Wan glanced at the person behind him. As the censor, Zhu Zijin immediately understood and walked to the middle of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Yesterday, in front of Hanmo Villa, those who came to take part in the imperial examination made a lot of noise, which caused a very bad impact in the city."
"A mere trivial matter caused such a riot among them. If he were to become an official in the court one day, he would definitely make the entire court a mess, which would be detrimental to our country, the Qin Dynasty."
"I think this is enough to show that these people are not suitable to serve as officials in the court."
"Your Majesty, please deal with those who are causing trouble and cancel their qualifications for the scientific examination!"
After the matter was resolved yesterday, Fusu had already reported the matter. This was not the first time Ying Zheng had heard of these things.
Moreover, Fusu also told Ran Fang's solution, which made Ying Zheng very satisfied.
According to Fusu's speculation, some of them were behind the scenes to prevent the imperial examination system from proceeding smoothly.
Now Zhu Zijin actually proposed that those people should be dealt with, so there would be no need to hold the imperial examination at all.
After all, if so many people are disposed of, it will definitely cause a riot among the people!
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at the officials in the audience with arrogance.
After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Wang Qing, what do you think about this matter?"
Everyone in the court knew that Zhu Zijin, as the Yushi Cheng, was second only to Wang Wan, and they had a very good personal relationship. Generally, Zhu Zijin's words meant what Wang Wan meant.
But now, Ying Zheng actually asked Wang Wan one more question, obviously disagreeing with the matter and wanted to hear a different result from Wang Wan.
Wang Wan has been with Ying Zheng for many years, so he naturally knows Ying Zheng very well.
Hearing the tone of Ying Zheng's words, he knew that Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with Zhu Zijin's words just now.
Thinking about it, he walked to the middle of the hall and said in a very sincere tone: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter cannot be executed easily."
"Now that His Majesty is going to hold the imperial examination system, there is a lot of noise in the city. Many capitals from Guizhou Province rushed to Xianyang for this matter. If these people are dealt with in large numbers at this time, it will definitely cause a lot of worries."
"But if they are not stopped and allowed to do evil in the city, I am afraid it will have a big impact on the safety of Xianyang City."
"Besides, they have acted like this before they entered the court as officials. Will entering the court in the future encourage their arrogance, and how should they be dealt with then?"
"Therefore, I believe that this matter cannot be let go. These people should be taught a lesson and they should not be left to chance."
"In this way, it not only restrains their behavior, but also allows the head of Guizhou to see His Majesty's magnanimity."
These words are very high-sounding, but the meaning is that they cannot let go of those people.
They, who were born into noble families, have always looked down upon those heads of Guizhou. How could these people tolerate being the same officials as them?
Now I want to give them a warning and tell these people that the court is not a place where they can meddle at will!
Therefore, after Wang Wan finished speaking, some officials from the court and the central government said in unison: "I second my opinion."
Ying Zheng had not seen such a scene of concerted efforts for a long time.
How could he not know what they were thinking?
However, as Wang Wan said, Prime Minister Qian has some behaviors and ideas that are not suitable for the nobles, and management indeed needs to be strengthened.
"Fusu, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Fusu.
After all, everyone knows that Fusu and Ran Fang are very close. Now His Majesty is ostensibly asking what Fusu means, but in fact he just wants to know Ran Fang's views on the matter.
Fusu, who was named, also came out and stood in front of everyone.
"Reporting this to my father, I think the words of the royal censor are right."
Fusu actually agreed with Wang Wan?
Everyone was shocked. You must know that Ran Fang proposed the imperial examination system. Now that Wang Wan is talking about the shortcomings of the imperial examination system, Fusu actually agrees?
Could it be that... there is a rift between them?
