…

…

Crack, crash, crash.

The clanging sound of chains resounded throughout the dark prison of Lin'an Mansion, and the fishy smell filled the air, making it nauseating.

After Liu Yue was mercilessly thrown into prison by an official two days ago, he became confused and confused.

When the officer who delivered the meal put down the simple food, Liu Yue suddenly woke up. With strength coming from nowhere in his body, he rushed to the cell frame, put his head on the gap, and roared: "I have been wronged, I have been wronged."

It’s unjust!”

"I did not cheat. I am a descendant of the Liu family of Huating. I have studied hard since I was a child and read a lot of books. How could I cheat on Chunwei?!"

Liu Yue roared, and the veins on his neck appeared.

From the great joy of climbing a high pavilion to drink a few days ago, to the great sadness of sitting in a cage today, the ups and downs of life were like a heavy hammer, which almost made him cough up blood, but he could not sit still and wait for death. If this name was really confirmed, he would even

If you have not been beheaded, you will lose hope in the future!

Whatever rises to the top, whatever rises to the top, becomes an official in the court, whatever petitions are made to the Holy One to regain the Chinese land, will all be reduced to nothing but smoke and smoke in the past!

At this moment, Liu Yue was palpitating and frightened.

The officer in official uniform glanced at him coldly, with contempt in his eyes. It was the contempt for the cheating Confucian scholar. The cheater is naturally the most despicable and disgusting character.

"What are you yelling about? We are on the orders of Prime Minister Qin to capture you, not just you, but also your accomplices!"

"Then Xu Shun used his identity as a descendant of the Xu family to bribe Mr. Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, with hundreds of Yuanling Tongbao, and learned the test questions in advance. As his accomplice, how can you be wronged?"

"Stay well and don't make any noise. If you really cheat in Chunwei, you won't have many days to live. Eat enough and save some energy so you can walk on the road to hell."

The official said indifferently, then turned and walked away.

Liu Yue's whole body was cold and trembling, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.

Xu Shun... Xu Shun is indeed distantly related to Mr. Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Liu Yue even accompanied Xu Shun to visit him after he landed in Lin'an.

But at that time, Mr. Xu You was not the chief examiner of Chunwei yet. Who knew that the Minister of Rites would be removed from the position of chief examiner of Chunwei, and then Mr. Xu You would take his place.

Liu Yue's body was numb. He must have never cheated, but Xu Shun didn't know.

He was implicated by Xu Shun!

"No! I have never cheated, it's not me! I, Liu Yue, am upright and talented. I answered all those questions myself!"

Liu Yue roared in fear and anger, and kept banging on the cell door, but the officer ignored him at all and had already left. Nine out of ten people in prison would complain about injustice. If they really paid attention to it, who could?

Come over?

Yesterday I experienced the extravagance and prosperity of Lin'an Mansion, but today I fell into a filthy prison and saw the darkness of Lin'an.

Liu Yue fell down and sat down on the hay, feeling numb. He only felt that the road ahead was bleak and despairing.

I really hate Xu Shun in my heart.

…

…

Qin Xiangfu.

Flowing water, wine glasses, green pools and pavilions reveal the scenery.

There is a pavilion in the pavilion, and two people are playing chess under the pavilion. It was during this period that Qin Qianqiu and Wang Qinhe became the jokes of Lin'an Mansion.

During this period of time, they were ridiculed with jokes one after another, which made the friendship between the two deeper and deeper.

After Wang Qinhe experienced being crushed and defeated by Anle, he felt depressed for several days. During this period, he became more open-minded. After all, he was not a tofu Taoist like Luo Qingchen. He recovered very quickly and his mentality was acceptable.

"Prime Minister Qin returned to the Qin Mansion yesterday. Why was the atmosphere in the mansion so tense? Spring is over, shouldn't it be time to take some time off?"

Wang Qinhe asked doubtfully. When he entered the Qin Mansion today, he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion had changed.

"Could it be that Ye Wenxi challenged your brother Qin Hua'an?"

Qin Huaan is currently ranked third on the Little Saint List, and is also the most unsafe position.

The Spring Festival is over, and soon there will be the examination in front of the palace. At that time, the number one scholar in this imperial examination will be born. As Qin Qianqiu's half-brother, if Qin Huaan can win the first place in the examination in front of the palace, he will not only be able to

After losing face to the Lin family, he hoped that he would still have a chance to talk to the Holy Master, which naturally made Prime Minister Qin pay attention to him.

During this period, even if Prime Minister Qin loved Qin Qianqiu, he had a lot of thoughts on Qin Hua'an.

"Of course not. My brother is extremely talented and talented, so there is no need to worry."

"It's just that a few days ago, someone wrote a letter to report that someone in Chunwei was cheating. My father was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. They found out all the clues, so he was so angry that he didn't sleep all night."

Qin Qianqiu said slowly.

"Fraud in the Spring Palace? No wonder Prime Minister Qin is furious. As the official who is coordinating the Spring Palace this time, fraudulent measures occur under the coordination, which is tantamount to damaging the prestige of the Prime Minister Qin and talking about the lax governance of the Prime Minister Qin."

Wang Qinhe was immediately surprised. The fraud in the imperial examination was by no means a trivial matter. It would even alarm the emperor in Tianxuan Palace.

"It was found out that a Jiankang Juren named Xu Shun was a distant relative of Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. He visited Xu You when he came to Lin'an. The leak must have occurred at that time."

"This was done covertly, so how could it be reported?"

Wang Qinhe was puzzled.

"Xu Shun has a good relationship with someone, Liu Shun of Huating. This person is Pei Ran, who is talented in literature, good at painting landscapes, majestic, and talented in poetry. He is known as a great talent in Huating. The two of them were drinking in Zuilong Pavilion yesterday. Maybe

It was because of drunkenness that he shouted that the top scholar in the second rank was his prize, and the two of them even invited him to serve as officials in the court, and they went straight to the top."

Qin Qianqiu placed the pieces on the chessboard, rolled up his sleeves and drank from the West Lake Longjing.

Wang Qinhe raised his eyebrows: "It's nothing to say a few arrogant words when a man of letters is drunk..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Qianqiu's lips: "What a coincidence, yesterday the Confucian scholars in the Literary and Musical List of the Academy of Arts were all drinking to drown their sorrows. They were unhappy and depressed in the Forest of Questions. They were unhappy and depressed.

The two men also said that they were related to Anle and could support each other in the court from now on... The Confucian scholars in Wenqubang reported the two men in anger."

"Because Liu Yue, as a talented scholar from Huating, can understand this arrogance, but who does Xu Shun mean?"

"So I reported the three of them to my father on the pretext of suspecting them of cheating. My father was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and he really found out about Xu Shun..."

"But it was not Xu You who was bribed by Xu Shun, but Xu You's servant who held the lamp. However, his father was furious and brought disaster to Chi Yu, so Xu You could only admit that he was unlucky."

"And what concerns me about this matter is that... Anle is involved."

Qin Qianqiu put down the tea cup, his eyes shining.

"Anle had a good relationship with Liu Yue and traveled to the West Lake every day. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Therefore, Anle may also be involved in the Chunwei fraud case and thinks that it is a fraud."

Qin Qianqiu smiled.

Wang Qinhe was startled, and then rolled his eyes: "How is it possible?! Anle is extremely talented, and his calligraphy and painting are top-notch. He is famous in Lin'an. How could he cheat? Why do he need to cheat?!"

Qin Qianqiu looked at Wang Qinhe quietly: "When dirty water is thrown at him, we are adding fuel to the flames. In addition, the testimonies of the Confucian scholars who say he cheated are cheating. How can he prove his innocence? He does have supreme talent.

But maybe he wanted to be more stable and take the test before the palace, so why did he cheat? The scholar's matter is not clear at all, whether it is true or false, so there is no need to accuse him of it."

"Even though you have countless talents and eternal talents, a group of scholars all accused you of cheating and couldn't argue with you. Chunwei will not start another fight for them. Even if it is proved that he has not cheated, who cares? The world likes to see you more.

If you collapse, you will fall into a prison and slip around, your reputation will become foul, and it will even affect your will, and the rest will be in vain."

"Perhaps Lin Mansion Hua Jie Bing will also give up on him by then. It can mess up his will and mood. Even though you lost to him in the battle of the Little Holy Order, you still have a chance to win again."

Qin Qianqiu held a chess piece and gently dropped it on the chessboard.

Pushing in the direction of Wangqin River, it made a slightly harsh friction sound.

Wang Qinhe couldn't help but be silent as he watched the chess pieces being pushed.

…

…

Taimiao Lane, small courtyard.

Anle was sitting under the old locust tree in the courtyard, his mind overflowing all around him, the ink pool lying across his knees, and he was meditating on the secret technique of sword energy contained in the little holy order.

Suddenly, Anle's eyelids moved slightly, and he finished his meditation. He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

The sound of rapid footsteps came from the alley, and a figure ran quickly.

Soon he appeared in front of An Le.

Anle couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the visitor, because the visitor was none other than Huang Xian, the headman of the black yamen whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
