Chapter 22 Jiang Zhao's Release from the Capital Prison
Now Si Mubai has told Gu Hongyuan everything.

He could only pretend that nothing happened, and pour all the dirty water on Jiang Zhao's head.

Chen Lianghan's mind was full of thoughts, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Immediately yelled for being wronged: "Lord Gu, I am wronged by the lower officials."

"It's really that Jiang Zhao's words were not inferior first, and she also uttered wild words, humiliating the officials' parents, that's why the officials put her in prison."

"Is it just going to prison? I heard that you have sentenced Jiang Zhao to exile for three thousand miles."

"Even if Jiang Zhao is young and energetic and insults your wife and mother, you can fight dozens of big boards, and you still exile him for three thousand miles?"

"Even if I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I have no right to sentence the leader of the test to be exiled for three thousand miles."

Gu Hongyuan said coldly.

Originally, Chen Lianghan planned to refute one or two sentences, but when he heard that Jiang Zhao was admitted to the top of the exam, he was shocked and froze in place.

How can it be?

How can this be?

Jiang Zhao is just from a poor family, how could he be the first in the exam?

In his deep-rooted thinking, even if a poor family can be on the list, they are generally just like the tail of a crane.

The top of the poor family list has been one of the few in the past.

With a poor family, Jiang Zhao ranked first in the national exam, how can he not be shocked?

But from the bottom of his heart, Chen Lianghan still didn't want to believe that Jiang Zhao won the first place in the exam: "Will Jiang Zhao be... the first place in the exam?"

"Master Gu, could this be a mistake?"

"Jiang Zhao is just from a humble family, how could he pass the exam and top the list?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chen Lianghan stared at Gu Hongyuan closely, hoping that he could shake his head and deny Jiang Zhao the top spot in the examination.

If Jiang Zhao is really at the top of the test list, he will take part in the palace test in half a month.

If the emperor knows that he puts the current leader in the examination into prison and will be exiled for three thousand miles, then his official position will not be guaranteed.

But what Gu Hongyuan said next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"On the day of the exam, Jiang Zhao wrote the ancient and wonderful article "Born in Sorrow and Died in Pleasure", which attracted visions from heaven and earth."

"Your Majesty personally ordered that his article be sent to the palace. After reading it, he felt that it was a wonderful article through the ages, and personally named Jiang Zhao the top of the list in the examination."

What Gu Hongyuan said made Chen Lianghan take two steps back in shock.

Jiang Zhao was actually the person who wrote the article that triggered the vision of heaven and earth that day.

At this time, Chen Lianghan had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Jing Huarong's ancestors in his heart.

What a bastard, let him do something without fully explaining it.

Now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has come to the door.

"Master Gu, Sir Gu, it was Jiang Zhao who insulted the official's parents first, and the official sent him to jail only after a moment of anger."

"As for the exile for three thousand miles, it's completely nonsense. The lower officials know that Jiang Zhao has a reputation, so he doesn't dare to punish him severely."

Chen Lianghan's brain immediately realized that he would never admit that he wanted to exile Jiang Zhao.

Anyway, Jiang Zhao has not been exiled yet, and his subordinates have taken orders just now, and withdrew the official document that he wanted to exile Jiang Zhao. As long as he bites him to death and refuses to admit it, Gu Hongyuan has nothing to do with him.

As for the crime of going to prison, Jiang Zhao had indeed insulted his wife and mother that day.

In his heart, comparing his wife and mother with a lowly woman is an insult to his wife and mother.

The image he wants to create now is that he is a filial son, but he was imprisoned because Jiang Zhao insulted his wife and mother because he was angry.

He was full of filial piety, even if Gu Hongyuan wanted to punish him, he couldn't go too far.

But it's not enough to shift the responsibility to Jiang Zhao.

He cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "But the lower official is indeed guilty. It is the lower official's fault that he still puts Jiang Zhao in prison despite knowing that Jiang Zhao is a human being."

"My lord wants to be beaten and punished, and the subordinate officials all admit it."

After speaking, he bowed down.

It looked like he was sincerely admitting his mistake.

If Si Mubai had seen his arrogant face in court that day, he might have really been deceived by his appearance.

In a few words, he completely glanced at himself.

He also portrayed himself as a filial son, while Jiang Zhao became an ignorant and crazy student.

After learning that Jiang Zhao passed the first place in the examination, he showed a look of resignation.

Si Mubai couldn't help sneering, this Chen Lianghan really can turn black and white.

However, looking at Chen Lianghan who was full of lies, Si Mubai did not argue with him.

He knew it was useless to argue, Chen Lianghan was the governor of Kyoto, and he was only from a humble family, even if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, Chen Lianghan would have erased all traces of it.

The subordinate who came in with Chen Lianghan just now left.

Now that Chen Lianghan is able to turn black and white in front of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it must be because of this that his subordinate left.

Si Mubai said coldly: "Since Mr. Chen did not sentence Jiang Zhao to exile, is it wrong for Jiang Zhao to be locked up now that he is Hui Yuan?"

Although Chen Lianghan didn't want to release Jiang Zhao very much, the current situation was beyond his control.

He glanced at Gu Hongyuan furtively, and found that he didn't have any expression, so he said: "That's natural, the official will order someone to let him out now."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up and bring Mr. Jiang to the prison...no, please come out."

The subordinate took the order: "Yes, the subordinate will go now."

In the prison, the master and servant, who were still recovering from their sleep, were awakened again by the sound of chains opening the door.

The two opened their eyes one after another, and Wei Xiang subconsciously looked behind the policeman.

Finding that Si Mubai didn't follow, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought Simu Bai could rescue Jiang Zhao today.

The policeman quickly opened the door and smacked his nose, somewhat disgusted by the smell in the prison.

But he still went in and respectfully invited Jiang Zhao: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Fu Yin please go out."

His tone was no longer as arrogant as before. Now that he knew that Jiang Zhao was going to be the top of the list, he had to be more polite, otherwise he would be able to pinch himself to death if he stretched out his hand to become an official.

Hearing his words, Jiang Zhao was not surprised, but just took Wei Xiang out of the cell.

It's just that Wei Xiang followed her, and Chen Lianghan suddenly released them for some reason.

But Jiang Zhao had no intention of explaining. Under the leadership of the policeman, the two came to the side hall in the capital.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Zhao saw Si Mubai waiting, Chen Lianghan standing aside, and another person sitting. She had never seen that person before, but she could tell from the position between the three of them. It must be a high weight.

When Si Mubai saw Jiang Zhao coming in, he smiled at her, and then introduced, "Brother Jiang Zhao, this is Gu Hongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Jiang Zhao bowed his hands to Gu Hongyuan and saluted, "I've met Mr. Gu."

Gu Hongyuan was sizing up Jiang Zhao the moment she came in.

I found out that the top age of this year's test is so young, it seems that it is still the champion.

Then he asked, "How old are you this year?"

When he asked this question, Jiang Zhao was a little puzzled. Why did he suddenly ask about his age, but he still replied, "My lord, there are six out of ten people born late this year."

Gu Hongyuan was slightly shocked by Jiang Zhao's age.

After all, from ancient times to the present, although there are few, but not uncommon, it is not uncommon to see such a young and poor family at the top of the list.

However, Gu Hongyuan has been an official for many years, so he quickly adjusted his expression.

He smiled and said: "Okay, young talents are really awesome for young people."

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed." Jiang Zhao said modestly.

Gu Hongyuan stepped forward and patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder, and handed her the golden flower post that belonged to her.
