Xiao Linye said coldly, "Mr. Liu, Lord Zheng, you are responsible for investigating the case of the leak of the exam questions. Who leaked it? Strictly punished it!"

There was a low pressure spreading over the court today, and all civil and military officials did not dare to show their anger, for fear of being vented by the emperor.

The prime minister was the moment before, and in a blink of an eye it was the same as the prisoner. Zhang Lilei felt a very strong and bad feeling in his heart. This time he was afraid he would not be able to go out of Dali Temple smoothly.

However, he has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years and is definitely a cunning fox. It is absolutely impossible for him to accept his fate easily.

He was obedient on the surface and had no complaints, but his heart was filled with strong resentment. He hated that Xiao Linye used the imperial examination to leak it and insisted on pushing all the charges on him. He hated that the people under him had rebelled and had secretly surrendered to Xiao Linye, but he could not notice it at all.

When he arrived at the cell of Dali Temple, he changed into a white prison uniform and was locked in a cell alone, not in contact with other prisoners.

After the jailer who was escorting him left, Zhang Lilei's brain began to turn rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the countermeasures and minimize the damage, so that Xiao Linye could not catch his handle and could only cure him for dereliction of duty.

He has a wide connection. Even in Dali Temple, when lunch started, he still found a way to get the jailer who delivered the meal to bring the news back to Zhang Mingxi, asking him to cut off the shameful business at home, and then find a way to erase all the previous business correspondence letters.

After doing all this, he had a safe meal.

All of this could not escape the gaze of the spy who was observing Xiao Linye secretly, but they didn't know anything and let Zhang Mingxi handle the business affairs well.

When the spy reported the news to Xiao Linye, he was having supper with his wife, and soon showed a clear and disregarded smile.

"Mu Qing, you guessed quite accurately. Zhang Lilei is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is preparing to erase the evidence."

She smiled sweetly and showed a dark-bellied expression, "Don't worry, let Zhang Mingxi go to work slowly. When he feels that the evidence has been erased completely, we will overturn it again. What's more important now is to spread the leaked test questions, just say that the results of this imperial examination will be invalid."

Xiao Linye has always been very steady and serious in doing things. "I believe that the public opinion is about to be overwhelmed. Exam questions leaking this kind of thing is related to the future of so many people. Those candidates are going crazy. After studying hard for more than ten years, others can get the answer in advance just by spending money.

Who can stand such an unfair thing? Zhang Lilei and Zhang Mingxi will definitely be despised by all the candidates and the people in the entire capital. Those who dislike their unluckyness will definitely be thrown away by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at that time."

When Xu Muqing thought of the wonderful scene, she couldn't help but feel excited.

"Who made Zhang Mingxi try to put me to death again and again, and also want to kill my father.

I was captured in Qingquanzhou before and almost killed by Xiao Lince.

There was also my father stationed at the school grounds, and the granary caught fire. My father almost died in the granary and was impeached by Zhang Lilei and all the ministers.

I was intercepted and killed by Murong Ding and Huo Shujing. If I hadn't been lucky, if you hadn't arrived in time and rescued me from Huo Shujing, I would have been captured to the Kingdom of Nanyue. I'm afraid even my blood would have been let go. How could I get married with you and live a sweet and happy life of loving couples.

I, Xu Muqing, is a very revengeful woman. If anyone hurts me again and again, I don’t want me to have a good life, then I will definitely not let them have a good life.”

When she said this, she thought of the thrills and difficulties at the beginning, and she still couldn't help but feel unhappy. She just wanted to let out the anger in her heart.

Xiao Linye said calmly, "Putting aside these things, it was not our beginning to leak the test questions. It was Zhang Mingxi who sold the test questions to two wealthy businessmen in exchange for a lot of money in exchange for money. We were just using the tricks.

Don’t feel uncomfortable. Those students who take the scientific exam don’t want others to spend money to get answers. After the matter between Zhang Lilei and Zhang Mingxi is resolved, another scientific exam will be held. As long as you have real talents and practical work, you will never ruin your future because of this year’s imperial examination.”

Xu Muqing was seen by Xiao Linye and felt a little embarrassed. She looked down at her flat belly, covered with her palms, and her voice was so gentle that it could almost drip out of water. "Baby, don't learn these from your mother after you are born. These are not good. You have to be a political and open person."

Xiao Linye was laughed at her slightly childish behavior. He couldn't help but hug her shoulders and let her lean in his arms. "Mu Qing, it was you who said the child is still young. The child can't hear you saying these words, and he won't understand what's going on."

Xu Muqing said seriously, "This is prenatal education, do you understand? The child is very smart. Don't think he doesn't know anything when he is young."

Xiao Linye followed her pamperedly and helplessly, "Okay, whatever you say is what you say."

He suddenly thought of something, and his expression became serious again, "I forgot to tell you something that the Prime Minister's wife was poisoned to death a few days ago, but Prime Minister Zhang seemed to have secretly sent out of the city for burial in order not to affect his son's career in the officialdom."

Xu Muqing didn't expect such a thing to happen, and was shocked and couldn't help asking, "When did this happen? Who poisoned her?"

The arrogant and domineering woman who only has her son in her eyes was killed by someone in a blink of an eye, and even she was shocked.

"It has not been found out yet, but the spy we sent out said that Xu Murui had visited General Weiyuan's mansion before for the golden sore medicine and other injuries. She was beaten by the Prime Minister's wife before and could not get out of bed.

Do you think she would take the poison from your boudoir and go back and poison the Prime Minister’s wife to death?”

Xu Muqing thought of Xu Murui's revenge and was unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal, and immediately nodded, "She can really do such a thing, but even if she poisons it, it has nothing to do with us. She will never be so stupid that she told the source of the poison."

Xiao Linye is not as optimistic as she thought, "I am worried that my mother-in-law and Mu Yan will be used. If Xu Murui's poisoning of her mother-in-law fails, she will push everything on you in a crazy way, which will damage your reputation."

Xu Muqing thought of her mother being well protected, and then Mu Yan's simple and innocent personality, like the silly princess Bai Tian, ​​couldn't help but hold her forehead, "I will write to her mother, telling her that she must not let Xu Murui enter the door in the future. No matter how she cries, makes trouble, and hangs her, don't care about her.

It’s better not to be entangled by her. Xu Murui is a cruel and ruthless person. Don’t be framed by her with red mouths and white teeth. It’s not worth it.”

As for herself, she looked at Xiao Linye affectionately, "As for my reputation, as long as my husband and mother believe me, I don't care what those outside look at me."

Xiao Linye's heart beat faster by her dazzling eyes. He couldn't help but cover her eyes and said hoarsely, "Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it."

She knew how beautiful she was, like a fairy, and could easily take away his soul. But she now has his child in her belly. Even if he has full of love, she must not do anything randomly, and can only suppress all her enthusiasm.

Xu Muqing blushed and moved his hand away, coughed twice, sat up straight again, and said seriously, "Go back to the point, then you can create public opinion. As for the crimes of Zhang Mingxi and Zhang Lilei, wait until the time is right.

This time, you must drive them out completely, don’t let them get involved in power again, and replace them with someone you trust with your husband.”

The longer Xiao Linye stayed with her, the more he wanted to do sweet and warm things with her. He forced himself to stand up, "Then I'll let someone start dealing with the leaked test questions. You have to remember to take good care of yourself. If you have any questions, let someone tell me and I'll come back immediately."

Xu Muqing couldn't help laughing when she thought of the love and flames surging in his eyes just now. She did not see the wrong person in this life, marry the wrong person. Xiao Linye was indeed a man worthy of her love. Even if he did that, he did not think about taking a concubine or going out to look for flowers and willows. This is the best respect for her.

The exam questions were leaked, and many fellow prime ministers and several candidates from the business giants got the exam questions in advance. The exam questions were like they had grown feet. In less than half a day, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Many candidates were furious when they learned that the imperial examination was invalid, and many candidates had similar answers, and they were almost mad.

In the teahouse, wine shop, and inn, the candidates were filled with indignation and complained that some people ignored everyone's interests for their own sake.

During the discussion, some insiders said that the prime minister was responsible for setting questions and reviewing the papers, and the prime minister's fellow townsmen and disciples were also the prime minister's fellow students. The angry candidates automatically figured out the inside story of the whole thing.

Even more emotional, taking advantage of the late night, I poured feces and water on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and wrote many insulting words such as "Beasts are worse than beasts, but bullshit Prime Minister" on the wall.

Prime Minister Zhang Lilei, Zhang Mingxi and others were scolded by thousands of people for a while, and everyone was shouted and beaten like mice crossing the street.

Zhang Mingxi got angry hard at home and couldn't help but curse her hard in her heart.

Why are these people so bastards? How could my father reveal the test questions? Xiao Linye was hurting my father. He had long disliked my father and deliberately made things worse during the scientific examination. Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing were both cruel and ruthless people who wanted to kill my father.

Zhang Mingxi smashed the teacup several times, making his chest so angry that he racked his brains to make some connections.

However, later he visited several respected ministers who were friends with his father, as well as many royal uncles with higher seniority, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand to clear the relationship for Zhang Lilei and raise his hand to facilitate.

After all, the leak of the test questions is so big, and Zhang Lilei is the person in charge of the test questions. Who dares to do this at the forefront of this storm? Even if you stand against thousands of candidates and the opposite of Emperor Xiao Linye, you will be infamous for thousands of years.

Zhang Mingxi could not find the person who could clear the relationship, so he could only suppress his anger and find a way to deal with the things his father had done before, for fear of being found out by the emperor. By then, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would be completely unable to turn over.

He thought that Xu Muqing was a monster who had died once and could predict many things, and his scalp was numb and nervous, afraid that there would be something he had not expected, but Xu Muqing knew in advance and directly attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fortunately, Zhang Mingxi is not a person who accepts his fate. He is smart, quick-responsive, scheming and skillful, so he soon thought of a way to deal with Xu Muqing, and he also uses the power of public opinion.

He immediately sent his trustworthy left and right arm to explain what they were going to do. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after he finished giving it all.

Zhang Mingxi said ruthlessly in his heart, Xu Muqing, you'd better not force me. If you don't let me live well, I will never let you live a good life. At worst, everyone will die together.

However, when he thought of Xu Muqing's delicate and beautiful face and his thorny temper, he couldn't help but feel ache in his heart. He regretted that tears burst out and directly slapped himself two loud slaps.

Why was he so a bastard at the beginning? Why didn’t he be nice to Xu Muqing? He sincerely married her back and loved her so much that she could stay by his side, give advice, or be a miracle doctor who is obsessed with medical skills. It is better than standing opposite him now and racking his brains to push him into hell.

However, things fermented very quickly. In just two or three days, most of the candidates were angry and wrote a letter of voluntary letter, writing to the emperor, asking the deposed Zhang Lilei as prime minister and let him bear the punishment he deserved.

The Dali Temple Minister investigated the case very quickly and solved the case on the fifth day.

The culprit for the leak of the test questions was Zhang Lilei. In order to get his son Zhang Mingxi to give his son Zhang Mingxi the top scorer in high school, he informed the test questions in advance. For huge profits, Zhang Mingxi directly leaked the test questions to candidates from two business giants.

As long as you tell a person the secret, thousands of people will know it.

The two cabinet bachelors who gave the questions also took their own initiative to reveal the exam questions to Zhang Lilei's fellow townsmen for their own thoughts or to please the prime minister, so something similar to the answers happened.

In front of the personal and physical evidence, even Zhang Lilei was so smart that he could not even imagine that Zhang Mingxi played an important role in it. He wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide.

In the hall, Xiao Linye's face was full of gloomy face, and his eyes reflected strong disappointment. "The Prime Minister understands how much I attach to this imperial examination, but the Prime Minister uses his power to seek personal gain, form a clique for personal gain, and ignores the future of thousands of candidates. I am really disappointed."

"Come here, the Prime Minister, Lord Huang and Lord Zhu who leaked the test questions, were put in prison and waited for the defeat. Zhang Mingxi betrayed the test questions based on his family background and committed many crimes. Those candidates who bribed the test questions, as long as I ascended the throne for one day, would not think of taking the scientific examination and seeking fame and future.

Lord Mo, recorded the names of the candidates and sent the files back to their original homes, so that those scholars who tried to take shortcuts and took shortcuts to see clearly what the consequences of cheating would be. If you want to go on a career and make a name for yourself, you have to work hard."

The Prime Minister and others who were still in power not long ago became prisoners in a blink of an eye. They were still guilty of leaking the exam questions, which could be said to be ruined."

Zhang Lilei burst into pain and shrill laughter in the court, and tears burst out as he smiled, "I know the crime and let the emperor punish him, and there is no complaint."

But the emperor, do you think you won? You will definitely not be able to laugh the last time, you can wait and see.

Xiao Linye naturally understood Zhang Lilei's eyes, but he didn't care. He calmly allowed the guards to take the officials involved in the case to the jail.

Since some people do not cherish everything about him, they always want to control the government and want to be a puppet emperor, don’t blame him for taking action.

Besides, he will never forget how much Zhang Lilei and Zhang Mingxi have done to exploit and harm the people, and how they pressed forward step by step before, trying to put his wife to death.

Xiao Linye made detailed records of the case of leaking the test questions, and restored them. The imperial list was posted on every major street in the capital. The candidates who learned the truth even criticized Prime Minister Zhang and Zhang Mingxi and others, and their sharp and vicious words were so angry that the people involved in the case heard it.

When Xiao Linye told Xu Muqing about the progress of this matter, she smiled with satisfaction, "Master, it's time to embezzle Zhang Lilei's taxes and silver, fish and people, and ignore human lives. The previously missing girl Huaji was sent to the military camp controlled by Zhang Mingxi and others to tell the story of bullying and insulting those soldiers."

"By the way, the abducted girls have settled down. They must not return to their hometown. You can find a way to take care of their second half of their lives.

The money was paid out of my private money, and each person gave them five hundred taels of silver, which should be enough for them to live their whole life without worrying about food and clothing."

When Xu Muqing thought of the lives of those beautiful flower girls, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her good life was ruined like this, and some of them were tortured to death. She was lucky enough to save her life and could only live her life in hiding her name. It was really hard.

Seeing the painful and regretful expression she showed, Xiao Linye comforted her softly, "It is a blessing in disgrace that you are willing to spend so much money to help them. Those innocent and pitiful girls, even if they come back to their homes, will have only one way to die."

His wife is actually very kind most of the time. As long as those people don’t harm her and want her life, she rarely takes the initiative to provoke others.

Xu Muqing sighed softly, "You are right, but I still feel sorry and uncomfortable in my heart. It's all because of the greedy and vicious men like Xiao Lince, Zhang Lilei and Zhang Mingxi who have ruined the lives of so many people."

No matter which aspect, these men in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be cut into pieces, and keeping them will harm others.

"When I go to court tomorrow, I will let someone announce all the crimes of Zhang Lilei and Zhang Mingxi over the years, add another fire to make them punish them as they should."

Xu Muqing thought for a while, "By the way, I have asked Bai Wei and Zhu Yu to go back to my boudoir to see Xu Murui's affairs. It is indeed two packs of poisonous things that I had pressed behind the dressing table box before.
