Chapter 253: Divine Decree

The final conclusion of the Qianhu Institute on Yue An's answer sheet was that Deng Tong, the general banner, was dissatisfied with Fang Wenkang of 100 households, so he manipulated the answer sheet of the government examination, and then framed his boss Fang Wenkang.

There are many details that have not been delved into, such as how Deng Tong framed Fang Wenkang, and why Deng Tong was dissatisfied with Fang Wenkang......

But because the two sides agreed, no one looked into the matter further, but the person who should be punished still did not escape.

Fang Wenkang himself was not strict under control, and was fined for one year to see the after-effects; Chen Qingfeng was sentenced to beheading for replacing the answer sheet; Pan Qingxiang was sentenced to five years in prison for failing to guard the case......

The matter will settle here, and Shen Yue and Han Yu will no longer delve into it, but everyone knows that these two adults will duel after all.

Fang Wenkang was the happiest to be released, and a banquet was set up that night, inviting Chen Xiaoting and his lieutenants.

He Fang Wenkang was able to escape this catastrophe, and it was all up to Chen Xiaoting to help him investigate the truth, and he had to repay it.

But the day after drinking, when Fang Wenkang went to meet Shen Yue, in front of Liu Shi'an, Zhang Zhenshan and others, Shen Yue scolded Fang Wenkang for nothing.

Even Chen Xiaoting, who was standing on the edge, sweated for Fang Wenkang when he heard it, and was secretly worried about whether Shen Yue would remove him.

But it is obvious that Chen Xiaoting is thinking too much, the so-called heavy and light release, who will remove Fang Wenkang from his position, and who will give Shen Yue the position of Yue'an's hundred households.

In the end, after Fang Wenkang repeatedly confessed and assured, Shen Yue let Fang Wenkang go, and then asked him to rush back to Yue'an to preside over the affairs of the hundred households.

Fortunately, the replacement of the answer sheet did not cause too serious consequences, and Wang Yuan was banned from taking the imperial examination again, which also calmed the anger of Yue An's readers.

When Chen Xiaoting thought that this matter was over, an edict from the capital once again made waves in the calm Luyang.

This edict was drawn up by the cabinet and draped in red by the celebrant and supervisor, although it was not written by the emperor himself, but it was also a holy decree of the Eight Classics.

On October 16 of the 16th year of Yongzhi, this edict was read out at the Yamen of the governor of Yongxi, and all the officials of the county and above in Yongxi were present to listen to the holy teachings.

There are more than 50 prefects in Yongxi, 20 prefects and negotiators, and of course, Wang Yuchuan, the governor of Yongxi, and the political envoy according to the envoy, etc., there are more than 100 officials.

And the one who came to convey the holy decree was the eunuch Huang Ting in Yongxi Town, who spread out the holy decree and stood at the foot of the steps overlooking the officials below.

The content structure of the decree is very simple, starting with the importance of the imperial examination to the imperial court, then citing the harmfulness of fraud in the imperial examination, and finally scolding the Yongxi officials.

Fraud in the Yongxi examination room occurred from time to time, and naturally the supervision of these officials was ineffective, and the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet or the emperor himself could not bear it.

It can be expected that after receiving this holy decree, Governor Wang Yuchuan will find the prefects below to scold him, and the prefects below will scold his subordinates when they go back.

If it was just a reprimand, the holy decree also punished the people who had cheated in recent years, and sent them all to Liangzhou to pioneer.

As a brocade guard, Chen Xiaoting was present to Huang Ting as a faΓ§ade.

But when he saw the list of exiles attached to the holy decree, he accidentally saw the names of Xu Deli and his son.

At that time, both of them were implicated in scientific research fraud, and Xu Deli himself was abolished for his fame, and now he is also in the ranks of liquidation.

The edict said that the whole family would be exiled, in other words, Xu Youhui was no exception, which made Chen Xiaoting suddenly shocked in his heart.

But he couldn't ask at this time, because in front of a group of high-ranking officials, he was not qualified to speak at all.

Wang Yuchuan received the holy decree in his hands with sweat, and repeatedly assured Huang Ting that he would strictly and thoroughly implement the requirements.

As the governor of a province, any responsibility was placed on Wang Yuchuan's head, and his Excellency reprimanded him for an extremely serious matter.

Huang Ting didn't care too much about this, if Wang Yuchuan didn't do well again, then it should be the Emperor's Majesty's holy decree ordering him to pay tribute.

But the more Wang Yuchuan patted his chest and expressed his position, it meant that the Xu family would definitely be exiled, which was a fact that Chen Xiaoting could not change.

The matter of exile was carried out quickly, and Wang Yuchuan handed over the matter to the Yamen, who was responsible for sending people to arrest all the people on the list.

In the courtyard rented by the Xu family in the south of the city, the three members of the Xu family still live here, waiting for the day when the township trial list will be released.

This time to participate in the township test, Xu Deli made full preparations and had a full grasp of regaining his fame.

But just as the Xu family was preparing lunch, there was a knock on the door of the Xu family, and it became more and more urgent.

Xu Youwen thought that he was splashing over again and didn't open the door, but the knocking sound outside was getting louder and louder, as if the door panel was going to be smashed by others.

"If we don't open the door again, we'll be in the dust!" Someone outside shouted.

Xu Deli had no choice, so he hurried to the gate, and saw seven or eight officials outside through the crack in the door.

So he opened the gate and asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

The chief official took a step forward, looked Xu Deli up and down, and said, "You are Xu Deli?" ”

Seeing that he was looking for himself, although he didn't know what was going on, Xu Deli still said: "It's Xu!" ”

After hearing the affirmative reply, the chief official said to his subordinates: "That's right, this is it!" ”

Then, without Xu Deli's permission, these people all poured into the courtyard.

According to the past, these officials would not dare to be so rude to read people, so Xu Deli felt faintly uneasy while puzzled.

So, I heard Xu Deli shouting: "What do you have to find Xu?" ”

According to the procuratorate, the yamen was responsible for supervising the fraud case and the exile, but the specific implementation was still handled by the Luyang Mansion Yamen, and the head catcher Gao Zhuang was assigned this errand.

I only heard Gao Zhuang say: "Xu Deli, a few years ago, you were found to be suspected of fraud by the academic and political officials, so you were dismissed from your reputation...... Is there such a thing? ”

This incident was the biggest pain in Xu Deli's heart, and he was very uncomfortable when asked at this time, so he said coldly: "Xu was wronged!" ”

Hearing his father arguing with others, Xu Youwen also came out of the door at this time, and he was furious when he heard that the official had slandered himself for cheating.

"We have been wronged!" Xu Youwen also said loudly.

Gao Zhuang stared at the Xu family's father and son with big eyes, at this time he felt that these two people might be stupid and couldn't see the situation clearly.

So Gao Zhuang didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "By order...... Xu Deli's family committed fraud in scientific research, and from now on, all fame will be removed and exiled to Liangzhou! ”

Get rid of all fame...... The father and son of the Xu family were waiting for the results of the township test, but now they told him to get rid of all their fame.

Xu Deli immediately shouted: "You are talking nonsense...... Just because you want to get rid of our reputation? ”

Being looked down upon bluntly, Gao Zhuang was also quite uncomfortable in his heart, and only listened to him: "It was Your Majesty who removed your fame!" ”

Xu Deli stood motionless, a monstrous hatred surged up from his heart, and he felt that the world was too unfair to his Xu family.

Xu Youwen was directly stupid, and the removal of his fame made him unacceptable for a while, not to mention being exiled to Liangzhou, which had a worse environment than Yongxi.

"Xu Deli, give you half a moment to pack up your things, and then get ready to go on the road!" Gao Zhuang said coldly.

At this time, I saw Xu Youwen pick up a small stool on the side, smash it towards Gaozhuang and said, "You are talking nonsense......"

Fortunately, Gao Zhuang's action was sloppy, and then he said angrily: "Toast and don't eat and drink, take it!" ”
