Chapter 1395 [Updated on August 25] One Person Achieves the Tao, and the Chicken and Dog Ascend to Heaven

As soon as the voice fell, the yamen servants went out to lead people.

Yu Hongtu's subordinates, concubine, and daughter are in the examination room today.

Even though his wife wasn't there, his home was nearby.

After a while, the group of people was pushed in front of the magistrate by the yamen servants.

Because the examination room is no longer an examination room.

The schoolboys and servants around the candidates also rushed to the door to join in the fun.

Ruoyin and Su Peisheng saw the crowd rushing into the examination room.

They also found a suitable place and stood aside to understand the situation.

But when she stood still, she found Wen Qianmo standing beside her.

Ruoyin pursed her lips, pretended not to see, and took Banmei to the corner closest to fourth master.

If she misunderstood Wen Qianmo at first, thinking that he was because of Miss Yu, it didn't matter whether he avoided it or not.

But now, she understood what Wen Qianmo meant, so she couldn't have unnecessary interactions.

This is good for her and Wen Qianmo.

After Ruoyin changed positions, he heard that the county magistrate was there to examine the members of Yu's family.

At first, Mrs. Yu didn't recognize her.

But when the yamen servants beat them down with a few sticks, Mrs. Yu and the concubine, Mrs. Lin, immediately recruited them.

After all, there are so many candidates as witnesses, and there are small notes as physical evidence.

On the other hand, Miss Yu, even if she was hit by a board, she cried out for injustice from the beginning to the end.

This Ms. Yu probably really didn't participate.

Because no matter how stupid Mrs. Yu is, she won't be so stupid as to drag the child into the water.

If the child can't help her, she will be implicated.

In addition, if Ms. Yu really participated, Lin would definitely take a bite.

Unless Ms. Yu really didn't participate, Lin was worried that she would be charged with slander again, so she didn't pour dirty water on Ms. Yu.

It's just that they are so excited that they pour dirty water on Mrs. Yu and shirk responsibility from each other.

Only Mrs. Yu confessed: "My lord, the women did take money from the examinees, but the women did nothing but collect the money. It was Mrs. Lin who pasted the answers to the exam questions on the master's official uniform. When the master wears it out and takes it off again, Mrs. Lin will tear off these materials and wait for the opportunity to pass them on to the candidates outside."

At this time, she didn't care about why only nine candidates were caught kneeling after selling ten exam questions.

Even if she saw fourth master, she would not dare to call fourth master out.

Because the punishment is carried out according to the number of people.

The more people leaked, the heavier the punishment.

So, how dare she.

"You are talking nonsense, I can't go to the examination room at all, how can I pass it to the candidates." Lin quibbled.

However, in front of everyone, Mrs. Yu didn't care about Mrs. Lin, nor did she care about Yu Hongtu's face.

Only Mrs. Yu said: "Of course you can bring the answer to the examination room, because you had an affair with the master's subordinate Wang Yong, Wang Yong was trusted by the master, and was arranged to inspect the examination room, and Wang Yong listened to you very much. Whatever you tell him to do, he will do."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin's face had no place to rest.

Yu Hongtu swayed slightly, from kneeling to sitting down.

Miss Yu helped her up: "Father."

Yu Hongtu pushed her hand away, raised his head and howled.

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky!"

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so Yu Hongtu has been so focused on his official affairs these days that he has not paid attention to his clothes at all.

He really didn't expect that he would take all precautions in the examination room just to prevent candidates from cheating.

In the end, it's still hard to guard against house thieves.

Being framed by two women in the family.

What's more, he didn't expect that Lin's concubine, who is usually well-behaved and docile, would actually put a cuckold on him.

But he is usually not greedy, but the people around him love money like their lives.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu had confessed, the county magistrate said, "Yu Hongtu, you should be convicted!"

Yu Hongtu shook his head, and said: "Yu has been an official for decades and has never accepted bribes. Where did the crime come from? If the adults insist on charging Yu with crimes, Yu can only say that a beauty is a disaster, and that she married the wrong woman to enter the house. .”

"Well, you Yu Hongtu, who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven alone, without your participation, would your wife and concubine have the guts to plan this matter?" the county magistrate said.

Yu Hongtu straightened his back again: "..."

"No matter how you argue, the court's regulations are there, but anyone who cheats, whether it is an examiner or an examinee, will either be exiled or executed!"

Hearing this, Yu Hongtu kowtowed three times and bowed nine times in the direction of the capital.

After saluting, he held his head high and held his chest high: "I, Yu Hongtu, support the imperial court's laws and regulations, and you can execute punishments now!"

Even at this time, his words and deeds are frank.

This is an upright official who is still loyal to the court even in the face of unfair treatment by laws and regulations.

It looks calm and composed, as if you want to kill or cut as you please.

But his appearance, to the county magistrate, was provocative.

The county magistrate said: "As the chief examiner in Suzhou, Yu Hongtu did not fulfill his duties. Instead, he colluded with his wives and concubines. His wife was responsible for contacting customers, and his wife was responsible for sending exam answers to his subordinates. Now, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Hongtu Bring down with wives, concubines, and subordinates, and beheaded after autumn!"

"As for the students who cheated this time, since this is their first time and they were lured by the Yu family, they will be punished lightly and exiled to Ninggu Pagoda!"

"In addition, considering that the questions of the provincial examination have been leaked, this provincial examination is temporarily suspended. After I report it to the court, I will choose a date and retake the examination."

Originally, when the examinees heard that they were given a lighter sentence, they thought it was really a lighter punishment.

When they heard that Ning Guta was exiled, everyone felt ashamed.

Naning Ancient Pagoda is not a place for people to stay at all.

However, in order to protect the imperial examinations from existing in name only, the Qing Dynasty did not allow any fraudulent behavior.

Because the talents who pass the imperial examination are all future parents and officials, and they must not be sloppy.

Therefore, anyone who cheats, regardless of whether it is a candidate or an examiner, will either be executed or exiled, and will not be lightly forgiven.

And the county magistrate is not fighting against anyone, it's just a routine.

After the county magistrate issued an order, the yamen servants took Yu Hongtu, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Lin, and Wang Yong away.

Only Ms. Yu was left alone sitting on the ground and shouting: "Father! Mother!"

However, no matter how she shouted or stopped her, Yu Hongtu and Mrs. Yu were taken out.

Can't take the exam, some candidates are gradually going out.

Fourth Master walked up to Ruoyin and walked out side by side with her.

Just then, a group of people in official uniforms came in.

Ruoyin and fourth master were planning to leave.

But before he left the examination room, he saw this group of people coming in.

She heard someone in the crowd pointing and saying: "Isn't this the magistrate?"

Then, she saw the county magistrate walking up to the magistrate immediately, and said, "I don't know if the magistrate is here, but I am really disappointed."

The county magistrate said, and smiled awkwardly: "Such scandals happened in the examination room, and the prefect laughed."

The magistrate waved his hand and said indifferently: "I came here today precisely for this matter."
