Chapter 179 What you sell are indeed real questions!
Is this little brat Xiaowu acting so carelessly now?
What the hell is this Doudou talking about? What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
Emperor Xuanwu fell silent.
The prince's group, who had just been clamoring for a thorough investigation, also became strangely silent.
This feels wrong!
Although at first glance, every word of Dou Jifei seemed to be accusing Princess Saint Ann,
But when the Cao family's servant came to these poor students, Princess Sheng Ann had not even become the chief examiner of the Spring Examination!
And the person who later nominated her to be the chief examiner... was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Also, Dou Jifei said that Princess Sheng An was selling the Spring Examination Questions.
But he later said that the question was actually fake and was not the real question from the Spring Examination!
In other words, the issue of leaking the exam questions no longer exists.
The most outrageous thing is that Dou Jifei also said that Princess Sheng An cheated them out of thirty taels each...
Logically speaking, there are fourteen people in total, and thirty taels per person would only add up to four hundred and twenty taels of silver, right?
This amount of money might be a huge sum for ordinary people, but to say that Princess Saint Ann got herself into trouble just for those four hundred taels of silver...
Even if they want to frame someone, they can't do so against their conscience!
Princess Saint Ann could easily cheat them out of tens of thousands of taels just by laying a floor dragon in their house, okay?
Four hundred taels, who are you insulting?
There was silence in the Xuanzheng Hall. In the end, Yun Shu, who was being sued, spoke first and broke the silence:
"Your Majesty, I have also made a report on this matter."
"Talk about it."
Emperor Xuanwu's eyebrows twitched. He also wanted to see what this brat was saying, why did he make such a big fuss and call out all the civil and military officials with a drum to listen to her.
He calmly adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, and looked at Yun Shu who stood right in front of him with a serious face.
"This matter has to start from the day when I left the palace with Master Ye to go to Keats Hospital."
She briefly recounted the story of how she first met Dou Jifei, how she became suspicious of him, and then had someone secretly investigate him. She unexpectedly found out that the servant of Cao's mansion had secretly contacted this person before, and sold the Spring Examination questions privately under her name.
Yun Shu turned his head and gave the prince a friendly smile:
“But you, Father, also know that the reason why I was able to become the chief examiner of the Spring Examination was because of the recommendation of my brother, the Crown Prince.
Before that, I had never thought that I could take on such an important task.
So this servant of the Cao family must be lying.
The Spring Examination questions were definitely not something that a servant of the Cao family could obtain on his own. There must be other people behind him.
So I asked someone to investigate further.
But as everyone knows, because of the bad things that Cao Wenbin, the son of the Cao family, had done before, the Cao family is now in a situation in the capital where even dogs are too lazy to pay attention to them.
This just happened to be convenient for me, as I easily found out that during this period, only Feng Qi, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, had had contact with Mr. Cao.
And this Feng Qi is the confidant of the Minister of Justice Shen Jingyi!"
"Your Majesty, please understand that what Princess Sheng'an said has nothing to do with me!"
Feng Qi, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, was too low-ranking to be in Xuanzheng Hall.
But Shen Jingyi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is qualified.
Yesterday, the Eastern Palace sent a message to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, stating that Princess Sheng'an might attack them in court today, and that if necessary they might have to cut off one of their own arms. Shen Jingyi knew that he would most likely not be able to escape this time.
But being mentally prepared is one thing, but being named by Princess Saint Ann in the Xuan Zheng Hall is another thing entirely.
Shen Jingyi's heart was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly cried out for justice:
"I have been taught by teachers since I was young, and I have read a lot of poetry and books. I know etiquette and shame, and I know that the imperial examination is not easy. How could I make such a big mistake as leaking the questions? Although Feng Qi is my subordinate, I have no idea what he did behind my back!"
"I have been taught by my teacher and have read a lot of poetry and books?"
Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh sarcastically after repeating this sentence:
"Then you have really read all these poems and books into a dog's stomach. It is a disgrace to the Right Prime Minister!"
hiss……
Princess Saint Ann is so awesome!
The first time he took the initiative to attend the court, he confronted the Minister of Revenue. Minister Yan was so offended that he still doubts his professional ability.
The second time he went to court, it was because the prince was causing trouble and invited her halfway, so this doesn't count.
Today was her second time to take the initiative to attend court, and her output was obviously stronger than the first time.
From an inconspicuous Feng Qi, to the Minister of Justice Shen Jingyi, and then to Shen Jingyi's father, the Right Prime Minister...
At this rate, will the next step be to directly scold the prince?
It has nothing to do with them, especially since the eldest prince and his faction are at odds with the crown prince and his people, their expectations are immediately raised to the maximum.
"Empty words!"
Feeling the gloating eyes around him, the Right Prime Minister's already unhappy expression turned even darker:
"Your Highness the Princess doesn't need the four hundred taels of silver, but does my son need it?"
"What the Right Prime Minister said is just blurring the point."
Yun Shu turned around slowly:
"After all, you sold it in my name. This is obviously an attempt to frame me!"
My goodness, the previous sentence only said that Shen Jingyi did it, but now it directly becomes "you guys"!
Anyone who was just watching the fun could hear this change in semantics, not to mention the Right Prime Minister himself.
He stared at Yun Shu with dark eyes, knowing that the other party was most likely waiting for the question he was about to ask.
But now, he still had to soberly step into the trap set by the other party -
"If they wanted to frame someone, shouldn't they sell the real Spring Examination papers? Why sell fake ones?"
“What you sell is indeed real!”
As expected, as soon as he said this, Yun Shu immediately responded with a smile.
Not only did she accept the call, she even unethically brought in a "heavyweight guest":
"Father, you must bear witness to this. When I first discovered this, I reported it to you immediately.
And you also personally confirmed that the questions they sold were indeed the original Spring Examination questions!"
"good."
Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly:
"indeed so."
"..."
The puzzle that the prince and his companions had been puzzled about for a long time was finally answered at this moment.
The examination questions for the Spring Examination had indeed been changed.
The cause of all this was that Dou Jifei, the toad, wanted to eat swan flesh, so he deliberately broke the leg of a little cat in an attempt to attract Yun Shu's attention!
They had planned for so long and had finally laid out the elaborate plan, but it was ruined by such an outrageous thing!
