Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 180 Fraud in the Imperial Examination
Zhizhou's nephew watched as his Zhizhou uncle knelt down to that man, and only then did he realize that he shouldn't have offended someone if he provoked him.

Yinzhen naturally has no right to deal with a court official, but it is still possible for someone to punish the crime of knowing the state's nephew.

In the end, Yinzhen gave Zhizhou a cold look, and then said: "I heard your nephew said a lot, you won't mind being imprisoned and interrogated Zhizhou now, right?"

How dare Zhizhou mind: "I don't mind, I don't mind."

It was only then that Yinzhen sent someone to leave with Zhizhou's nephew.

Zhizhou's nephew had something stuffed in his mouth and couldn't speak, but he could tell from his face that he was panicked. He was not mentally functioning, but he wasn't really a fool, so he could naturally understand the meaning of his uncle's words.

His uncle had given up on him.

Only then did he really get scared, and he also began to regret, he regretted provoking such a person.

But it's no use regretting it.

When they arrived at their residence, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng: "Take him down and interrogate him properly."

I'm afraid this person is a habitual offender, so he should be able to interrogate a lot of things. Yinzhen has never been a magnanimous person, he is very narrow-minded, and he will talk to his little Fujin, so just wait!
In the evening, Yinzhen said to Tong Cheng'er, "I'm afraid I have to wait another two days before I can go back."

As for Zhizhou's nephew, Yinzhen has to punish him for his crimes.

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Okay!"

Now she has no obsession with going back to Beijing sooner or later. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and it would be good to play for two more days.

Su Peisheng took Zhizhou's nephew down for interrogation.

After some interrogation, it was learned that Zhizhou's nephew was named Liu Yuanming, and he was the only son of Zhizhou's only direct sister.

Studying in an academy in the south of the Yangtze River, he has a reputation as a scholar. He loves beauty most on weekdays, and he often asks a group of "friends" for flowers.

A few years ago, I just went to Huajie to look for girls in the brothel, but later I felt that the girls in the brothel were a bit boring, and because I was bold, there was an uncle like Zhizhou who also did things like robbing women in the street.

However, it is a little different from ordinary bullies who rob women of civilians. This man's skin is not bad, and he is very good at talking to women, and most of the people who are "robbed" are willing to do so.

However, he not only hooks up with girls who are not out of the court, but he also hooks up with people who wear women's hair in a bun.

If the person he hooked up with disagreed, he would ruin his reputation. In addition, no one dared to tell the state governor's nephew, so he really couldn't hook up with many young married women.

Of course, a few of them were forced to death. After all, there are more temperamental women who are unwilling to commit themselves to a pious villain.

After hooking up, he was so vicious that people made life difficult for the young woman's ex-husband.

The means are low.

……

Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er were silent after hearing what Su Peisheng had found and interrogated. There was a lot of darkness in places they couldn't see, and it was fine if they didn't see it, but now that they knew it, they still couldn't believe it.

It just feels ridiculous.

And they also know that such an extremely absurd thing is not an exception.

There are many similar people and things in places they don't know.

Suddenly, Tong Cheng'er seemed to have thought of something, and she said: "This Liu Yuanming sounds like a person who is ignorant, how did he pass the exam?"

Liu Yuanming is only [-] years old and has been studying for a long time. Although he is talented and amazing, without hard work, a genius can become a fool.

Then how did Liu Yuanming pass the examination as a scholar.

Tong Cheng'er only found out when her second brother took the imperial examination. In fact, being a scholar is not easy to test, it can be said that it is difficult to test.

There is also a possibility that Liu Yuanming is very talented in reading, but judging from his behavior, he doesn't seem like a good brain.

How did the scholars get their fame? In fact, this is worth studying.

When Tong Cheng'er mentioned this issue, Yinzhen was immediately shocked when he heard the words, but he didn't expect this issue.

What Xiao Fujin said was right, how did this Liu Yuanming pass the examination as a scholar.

Yinzhen frowned, and then ordered: "Su Peisheng, go and check, remember to be gentle."

If it is true, Liu Yuanming, a "fool" who can cheat in the imperial examination, must not be able to do it, it can only be done by his Zhizhou uncle.

Cha's movements are a little smaller, and it saves the trouble of scaring the snake.

After hearing the order, Su Peisheng couldn't help being startled. If there is a problem with the investigation, then many people should be beheaded.

"Yes, master."

After Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen felt a bit of a headache, couldn't help pressing his head with his hand, and then sighed: "I'm afraid this matter won't be calmed down easily."

If it is verified that Zhizhou was involved in imperial examination fraud, all cases involving imperial examination fraud since ancient times cannot be easily settled.

Tong Cheng'er nodded. She had read the imperial examination fraud cases in the investigative story book, and they were all bloody.

"Find it out and let Huang Ama figure it out!"

It's fine if you don't know, but if you know it, it's impossible to just ignore it, and Yinzhen can't just sit back and ignore it.

Yinzhen nodded: "Let's check first! I hope it's not like this."

Otherwise, the imperial court would have to have an earthquake, and the south of the Yangtze River would have to be cleaned up.

It would be easier for the two of them to simply punish Liu Mingyuan, but now that they are pretending to be troubled, they can't relax at all, and neither of them has the intention to play.

Yinzhen was reading and writing in the study, and Tong Cheng'er could only read some Chinese scripts to pass the time.

Although Yinzhen came back to Jiangnan for the first time, he sent people to do business in Jiangnan a few years ago, and now it has developed. It can be said that he is powerful in Jiangnan.

It is precisely because of this, and because Liu Yuanming left a lot of clues, Su Peisheng verified it very quickly, and within two days the ironclad evidence about Liu Yuanming's imperial examination fraud was placed on Yinzhen's desk.

Looking at the evidence, Yin Zhen felt quite a headache, how could it be true!
It didn't happen in my dream!

How did he meet him? It's really bad.

After the silence, he started to write, and he couldn't let it go.

Su Peisheng found a lot of information. The magistrate obviously knew the consequences of cheating in the imperial examination, and he was very cautious when he did it. After he has been in office for so many years, the number of people who cheated is about 30.

These people include relatives and juniors like his nephew, and there are also uneducated sons and young masters of wealthy businessmen, who have obtained a lot of money from them.

Because of caution, I didn't dare to make it bigger, and the number of people who knew it was very small. If it weren't for Liu Yuanming's investigation, it would be really difficult to find anything.

He didn't stop writing until the middle of the night, and he didn't finish writing an improvised letter.

After finishing writing, he called Su Peisheng in: "Send this notebook back to the capital as soon as possible."

Although they were going back to Beijing soon, riding a horse was faster than making a carriage.

Su Peisheng: "Yes, master."

The booklet was handed to Su Peisheng, and he went back to rest.

When he washed up and went to bed, Tong Cheng'er said, "Why are you so late?"

Yinzhen: "Writing the booklet, why haven't you slept yet?"

Tong Cheng'er showed a small head and looked at Yinzhen: "I can't sleep."

Since getting married, she has slept with Yinzhen almost every day. At night, when there is no one around, she always feels weird and can't fall asleep even if she closes her eyes.
