The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 173 Confession
On the way to be escorted by the imperial army just now, Liu Ying already knew what happened from her father.Seeing the appearance of the empress and the emperor's husband again now, she already had some calculations in her heart.

Ning Yuezhao looked her up and down, among Xu Miaoyun's two female companions, Wu Yuyuan was the most impulsive, and this Liu Ying was much calmer, and her mind was relatively calm in comparison.Judging by the look on her face since she entered the Forbidden Army Dudu's Mansion, it seems that she is really not lying.

Ning Yuezhao glanced at her indifferently, "You and Qingchi just met each other in Mantingfang at the end of Qiuwei last year, but your handwriting suddenly became the same as hers in the past six months, so what are you doing?" Explanation?"

As soon as her voice fell, a guard held up two papers, and the exact same self was presented in front of the three kneeling in the hall.

"Come and find out, which article was written by you? Don't tell me, it's only been a month, and you've forgotten what you wrote."

Liu Ying pursed her lips, her face turned pale.

Seeing that she was silent, Ning Yuezhao picked up the scroll that was originally on the case, threw it forward, and just rolled it to stop in front of Liu Ying.

Liu Ying opened the scroll tremblingly, and her pupils shrank instantly. This scroll was her answer sheet when she participated in Qiu Wei.

Ning Yuezhao looked directly at her, with a bit of distaste in her voice, "The style of this article is very close to the so-called 'green pond' theory in Chunwei's article this time, how do you explain it?"

Liu Ying clenched the scroll tightly, bit her lower lip, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the test number obtained by Minnv in the examination room is No. 210. This so-called girl Yan's policy was actually written by Minnv." .

The Minnv didn't know why my paper turned into Miss Yan's, but the Minnv also knew how important she was, so she didn't dare to pretend to be Huiyuan.

As for the handwriting, it was because the girl felt that her handwriting was too bad since the last autumn, so she wanted to practice handwriting in order to make a good impression in front of the examiner.At this time Miss Xu gave Minnv a set of copybooks, and Minnv saw that the handwriting was neat and straight, so she worked hard to practice. "

Hearing Liu Ying mentioning Xu Miaoyun, Xu Zhi immediately frowned and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clear that you deliberately imitated Miss Yan's handwriting, and you still want to blame my daughter!"

Xu Zhi turned to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, my daughter has been staying in the boudoir all this time, so it's just nonsense to get Miss Yan's copybooks."

Liu Ying has always been a little afraid of this Mr. Xu Ge, but the current situation is very serious. She took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xu Ge is really talking nonsense, am I not a boudoir woman? Where do I get it? Miss Yan's copybook, but you are a cabinet minister with a high position and authority, and it is easy for you to get Miss Yan's handwriting. Then, with the help of Miss Xu, let me learn that handwriting. If not How can a person of such a high position as you play tricks in Chunwei and swap my examination numbers with Miss Yan's?"

Xu Zhi sneered, "Your father is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he often participates in the lock-up system. The Imperial Academy also has to clean his hands. Who doesn't know that His Majesty was seriously ill a while ago, and the annotations on the notebooks were all written by Miss Yan. Yes, all civil and military officials in the court know about this. Since you said that my son gave you the copybook, please send someone to search the mansion, and if you can find the so-called copybook, then I will let your majesty deal with it!"

Hearing this, Liu Ying looked at Ning Yuezhao enthusiastically, "Your Majesty, the copybook is on Minnv's desk. You can send someone to get it. Once you get the post, you can prove Minnv's innocence!"

Ning Yuezhao looked at Zuo Ming, only to see him secretly shaking his head, Ning Yuezhao's heart sank.Since Xu Zhi dared to say such a thing, then even if he really did this, in his house, he might destroy all the evidence.

Zuo Mingdao: "Your Majesty, after I took control of Liu's father and daughter, I ordered people to go back and search the entire Xu Mansion, and did not find the copybook that Miss Liu said, but found something in Liu Xueshi's room. "

He was extremely cautious in his actions. After Xu Zhi followed him out of the mansion, he immediately asked other people to shoot back. Unfortunately, no evidence against Xu Zhi was found.

The guard presented a tray with a stack of memorials on it.

"These were found in Xueshi Liu's room."

When Liu Feilong saw those memorials, an alarm bell rang in his heart.There are many kinds of memorials, not all of which cannot be taken home for disposal.But seeing Ning Yuezhao's increasingly ugly face, he knew that he might be in trouble this time.

Ning Yuezhao finished reading those notebooks, and was about to slap the notebooks on the table again, when Jiang Nian gently held his hand, "Don't be impatient."

Turning her head to see his shining eyes, like a deep pool, her aroused emotions were instantly calmed down.

"These are the excerpts that Qingchi wrote for me earlier. They should have been sealed in the pavilion of the Imperial Academy. How could they be in Liu Xueshi's room?"

Liu Feilong's face turned pale in an instant, and he kowtowed, "My minister... my minister..." He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a word of defense.

Xu Zhi was the first to say: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is not strict in governing the family. He didn't even find out that Liu Feilong took the scriptures approved by the Holy Majesty out of the palace and hid them in the mansion. He imitated Miss Yan's handwriting for his daughter and asked him to make an examination paper. Your Majesty, please punish such an act of cheating that is ashamed of the people of the world!"

Ning Yuezhao glanced at the distressed Xu Zhi, and suddenly smiled and said, "Xu Aiqing's house has so many guests, I'm afraid it would be too much for me to manage them one by one. I think that since Xu Qing is unable to manage them, I don't want to keep so many guests." .”

When Xu Zhi heard this, his heart tightened, "Your Majesty misunderstood, I came from a humble background, so I especially feel sorry for those colleagues who come from other places like me, and are unable to buy property in the imperial capital. The shelter from the wind and rain, out of sympathy, allowed them to live in the outer courtyard of the mansion. How dare the minister keep retainers, wouldn't it be forming a clique for personal gain."

It is a well-known fact that the imperial capital is expensive to buy a house, but the imperial court also rents out official buildings at low prices for officials who stay in the imperial capital to live in.This is not Xu Zhi's only family in the imperial capital, so his reason is reasonable.

Ning Yuezhao looked at Liu Feilong, "What else do you have to say?"

Liu Feilong's face was ashen, but he didn't defend himself.Liu Ying tugged at his sleeve and said anxiously: "Father, why don't you talk, you obviously didn't do it, why don't you talk!"

Xu Zhi looked at the father and daughter with a sad look on his face.

"I have nothing to say, I did everything by myself!" Liu Feilong closed his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "It was the minister who secretly brought home the notebook with Miss Youyan's handwriting and copied it into a copybook for my little girl. It was a copy. Afterwards, the copybook was destroyed by the official, so Commander Zuo couldn't find it."

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Jiang Nian, but saw a hint of puzzlement flashing in his eyes.

Liu Feilong laughed at himself, "As for how to change Miss Yan's number plate, that's because the person in charge of issuing the number plate is the cousin of the guilty minister, and the guilty minister just asked him for a favor. The guilty minister thought that His Majesty had the most If you find out the little girl’s paper, you will think it belongs to Miss Yan, so let’s forget about it here, no one will look through the original paper, it’s just a fluke of the guilty minister’s heart.”

Ning Yuezhao saw that he had even changed his address, and he still had a look of remorse. At first glance, it would really make people think that he was sincerely repenting, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Father, what are you talking about!" Liu Ying looked at her father in horror, as if she had never known this person before, "These things are all nonsense, how can you say that? Obviously Xu Miaoyun gave me the copybook! "

Liu Feilong looked at his daughter with guilt in his eyes, "Son, daddy knows that you have always dissatisfied Miss Xu, so don't be jealous of her background and talent anymore. The matter obviously has nothing to do with her, how can you put the dirty water away?" Splash it on her?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Liu Ying who was astonished, and kowtowed to Ning Yuezhao, "Your Majesty, this matter was all done by me alone. As for the little girl, she was coaxed by me to do such a thing. I am willing to apologize with death, and I only ask His Majesty to spare the life of my little girl! The wife and the seven-year-old son of the sinner's family are completely ignorant of all this. Your Majesty is merciful. Just punish the sin of the minister alone. family!"

Liu Feilong knocked his head three times in a row, and when he raised his head again, there was already blood on his forehead.

Liu Ying was still not reconciled, but after her father said this, she gradually let go of the hand that was holding Liu Feilong's sleeve, and stopped talking.

Xu Zhi also said: "Your Majesty, since Liu Feilong has pleaded guilty, let him and his family be spared."

Facing the sudden turn of the situation, Ning Yuezhao felt at a loss. Is this case solved?She looked at Jiang Nian in disbelief.

Elder Jiang frowned slightly. In his opinion, Xu Zhi was 100% responsible for this matter, but this old fox was so cunning that he was already fully prepared and brought in a scapegoat in advance.

He looked at Liu Feilong, "Although you have pleaded guilty, there are still some doubts about this matter, and your father and daughter will be imprisoned first."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Ming winked at the guards, and immediately someone came up to take the despondent Liu father and daughter down.

On the lobby, Xu Zhi was still kneeling, but because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs had lost all feeling. He tried his best to look up at the two people in the middle, and saw that they seemed to be thinking about something, completely forgetting about himself Still kneeling, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Xu Zhi couldn't help calling out to the two of them.

Ning Yuezhao suddenly came back to her senses, "I actually forgot that Xu Qing is still kneeling, get flat now."

Xu Zhi gritted his teeth tightly, his back molars hurt, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Because he knelt for too long, Xu Zhi nearly fell when he got up, and he lost all feeling in his legs, so he could only stand up with all his strength.

"Since there is nothing wrong, Xu Qing can go back, I surprised you tonight."

Jiang Nian said with a good temper.

"Yes, I will leave!"

Xu Zhi arched his hands, bowed and stepped back, only turning around when he reached the door, but the moment he turned around, the respect on his face disappeared, replaced by endless resentment!
