Seeing that Gu Xiancheng didn't answer for a long time, Ye Maoren sneered: "I have always thought that you, sir, are an upright man. I have heard before that the Gu family used to reduce losses for themselves, and even when they knew about Shi Jian Yinshan's incident in advance, I deliberately concealed it. At that time, I still thought that this matter had nothing to do with my husband. I thought that my husband was not such a selfish person and only cared about the rest of the family. But now that I see that my husband is so inconsistent, I have to believe that he is just a sanctimonious person. generation!"
"Farewell!"
Ye Maoren said and walked away.
"Ziji!"
Gu Xiancheng shouted and saw that Ye Maoren ignored him and just stood there in shock, clenching his hands into tight fists and his face turned red from suppressing it.
"It's only been a few years, but Shilin is so divided. Some support Xinli, and some don't."
Yang Yingkui broke the silence at this time.
Zhang Jing also smiled sarcastically: "Yes."
Gu Xiancheng, who had been embarrassed for a long time, said nothing and took a boat back to Wuxi that day.
On the boat back to Wuxi, Gu Xiancheng saw many scholars heading to Gongyuan, obviously to question Min Shouzheng.
Min Shouzheng was now hiding in the Gongyuan and did not dare to go out. He was even more frightened when he heard the voices scolding him outside. He couldn't help but said to Ye Maoxin, the deputy chief examiner of Hanlin Compilation, "What should we do?"
Just as Ye Maoxin was about to speak, he saw a rotten vegetable leaf thrown in and hit Min Shouzheng's hat.
Min Shouzheng touched the vegetable leaves and found that there were duck droppings on them. He was furious: "It's too much to bully people. These people are bullying people too much. After all, I am also a high-ranking scholar. How can I be humiliated like this!"
After saying that, Min Shouzheng said again: "What are the government soldiers doing? Just let them make trouble like this?!"
Ye Maoxin said: "I guess there are too many people making trouble."
After hearing this, Min Shouzheng felt helpless and sighed: "We obviously killed the man named Chen in advance, but the result is still like this. This is really the fate of this calamity!"
When Min Shouzheng and others were denounced by the scholars and common people, Zhu Yijun's decree to severely punish the officials and nobles in Jiangnan also came to Jiangnan.
As soon as this decree arrived in Jiangnan, it immediately caused an uproar.
"How could the imperial court do this!"
Gu Xiancheng also knew about this on the third day after returning to Wuxi. He said something to Gu Yuncheng and others: "Now is the time to test whether our officials' descendants are united. We must tell them, come to me Donglin, you should know how to stay close to each other, and don’t ruin the overall situation just because you can’t pass the exam for a while.”
Gu Yuncheng and others nodded.
But the next day, Gu Yuncheng suddenly came to Gu Xiancheng and said, "It's too late. Ye Hanlin, the eldest son of the Ye family, has already confessed Fu Jian's involvement in the case. It is said that someone from the Ye family is working as an aide around Fu Yuan, so Fu Jian Once involved in this case, everyone in the Ye family will know."
After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng saw Ye Maoren coming on a sliding pole, so he hurriedly walked over, stopped him and asked, "Why does your Ye family do this?"
"Why do you do that?"
Ye Maoren asked.
Gu Xiancheng replied: "The slaughter of the fallen scholars."
"Don't you sympathize with them? Our Ye family can naturally sympathize with them, so we can naturally tell all the truth we know."
Ye Maoren replied with a smile.
Gu Xiancheng's face was as dark as water: "You, the Ye family, don't think about the overall situation of Jiangnan officials."
"As long as I can be a Jinshi this year, what do I care about the overall situation of Jiangnan officials?"
"What's more, didn't you Uncle Gu, for the sake of your own reputation as a scholar, sign your name to demand justice for those who were punished? How come you, the Gu family, are allowed to be disloyal, but not my Ye family?"
After Ye Maoren said that, he left here, and when he left, he left a sentence saying: "In addition, we also told the court that the offending inspector Du Ruojia often came to Donglin Hall to give lectures, and criticized the new learning and new etiquette during the lectures. !”
Gu Xiancheng changed his color immediately after hearing this.
"Villain!"
"A real villain!"
Gu Yuncheng cursed.
Gu Xiancheng said nothing for a while. "It seems that the imperial court will demolish Donglin Hall!"
"That's right, it's the Donglin Hall, the lecture hall run by Gu Xiancheng, the former member of the Select Committee."
"Inspector Inspector Du Ruojia has been there, Zuozhongyun Min Shouzheng has also been there, as well as Fuyuan Sun Qin, Nanjing Youtongzheng Yang Yingkui, Daman Zhang Jing, Sun Hai, etc."
Ye Maoxin was standing in front of Li Rusong, who was ordered to go south to handle the examination fraud case, and talked about Donglin Hall.
After hearing this, Li Rusong asked: "So, the fraud in their examination room was probably plotted by Donglin Hall?"
Ye Maoxin said: "It must be! They often conspire together through lectures, and most of the funds they use come from the occupied Hushu tariffs."
"The surname is Ye!"
Du Ruojia, who had been controlled by Jin Yiwei, shouted at this time, and then cursed: "Don't talk nonsense here, why the tax at Xushuguan has been misappropriated for Donglin Hall lectures, why are we doing this in the Gu family?" We discussed, what grudge does the Gu family have against you, why would you take revenge like this?!"
At this time, Li Rusong asked Du Ruojia in a deep voice: "Then how did you plot?"
Du Ruojia raised her eyes and looked at Li Rusong, and sneered: "Does this count as a conspiracy? It's just that those unscrupulous people will come to the door to seek death!"
Snapped!
"They are seeking death. Doesn't it count as seeking death if you do this?"
Li Rusong slapped the table, stood up and glared at Du Ruojia and Sun Qin.
"Who would have thought that the emperor would threaten Jiangnan officials by banning their scientific examinations."
"And who would have thought that a despicable villain like Ye Hanlin would decisively betray us just for his own wealth."
Sun Quan started talking at this time, and turned to look at Ye Maoxin with hatred: "If you do this, who will dare to stand up for you in the future?"
"Our Ye family will never do this."
Hanlin Ye Maoxin replied.
Sun Qin: "..."
Sun Qin, the governor of Yingtian, really didn't expect that after Zhu Yijun threatened the future of Jiangnan officials in the scientific examination, some of the Jiangnan officials would sell out like him so quickly.
This indeed made Sun Quan feel disappointed.
Du Ruojia was also disappointed and shouted to Ye Maoxin with gnashing of teeth: "I'm going to kill you! You despicable and shameless villain!"
Ye Maoxin ignored it.
Next, Li Rusong reported the case to Zhu Yijun truthfully.
Zhu Yijun criticized him because he was good at slaughtering scholars, just like those who conspired to rebel, so he killed all the criminals, both master and subordinate, and executed these criminals in the place where the Hanshi were killed in Yingtian Mansion.
Therefore, from Yingtian Governor Sun Qin and Inspector Du Ruojia to Hao's right minions and former Xiongwu fighting officers Liu Xiongwu and a group of strong men under his command who had killed people were all taken to the place where they had killed the poor warriors in the past.
At that time, it was snowing here in winter, and the sky and the earth were white.
The surroundings were crowded with scholars and civilians. From the boats to the rooftops of the streets, one could barely see the river or the streets.
"cut!"
Then, Li Rusong gave an order.
Sun Qin and Du Ruojia both fell to the ground.
"good!"
The soldiers and the people applauded.
Ge Zisheng stood up at this moment and said loudly: "Everyone! This shows that the court is still fair and cares about us. Are you right or wrong?"
"right!"
The soldiers and civilians echoed loudly.
