Chapter 808: Confusion of Right and Wrong

"What crime have I committed? What crime have I committed-"

Zheng Yiming shouted in panic, but although he was not incompetent, he could not compete with the officers and soldiers, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.

"What crime have you committed? You will know when the imperial envoy arrives!"

Several officers and soldiers picked up Zheng Yiming and dragged him directly to the front hall of the inn. The guests inside avoided it one after another, and the shopkeeper also watched blankly. When Zheng Yiming was dragged out and taken away, Ke Xiaofa also rushed out from behind.

"Mr. Zheng—Mr. Zheng—"

"Xiaofa, read my book carefully——"

Zheng Yiming only had time to shout, but his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.

Ke Xiaofa rushed out of the inn, and before he could chase him, he was hugged fiercely from behind.

"Don't go, kid, don't go!"

Ke Xiaofa struggled fiercely, and when he looked back, he realized that it was the shopkeeper hugging him.

"Shopkeeper, please let me go. Please let me go. They took Mr. Zheng away."

"What's the point of going? You don't know anything after all!"

Near the inn, not only the guests inside were watching, but also the passers-by on the street. Until the officers and soldiers left, they were all discussing what happened.

In the private house behind the inn, although Yu Xinmei did not rush to the inn and did not see it with her own eyes, she also knew what happened.

Mr. Zheng was captured by officers and soldiers! Involved in an important court case?

The first thing Yu Xinmei thought of was the imperial examination fraud, and she was the one who sent the secret letter to the capital. Looking at the days, maybe the imperial envoy investigating the imperial examination fraud had really arrived.

But why did they come to arrest Mr. Zheng first?

Yu Xinmei didn't understand the human world well enough, or she might have been influenced to some extent by the Dayong court. Even if this was not Dayong, the imperial examination should be a top priority in any country.

Could it be to protect Mr. Zheng?

Although Yu Xinmei comforted herself in this way, she didn't have much confidence.

So many things have happened recently, both sword immortals and great demons appeared, that guy Wu Sunheng also found a monk, and now Zheng Yiming was taken away again, which made Yu Xinmei feel a little confused.

Although the imperial envoy has not arrived yet, the imperial edict and documents have arrived first, and a large group of officers and soldiers have arrived in Pingzhou City, which is several times more than the number of yamen servants in Pingzhou Yamen.

At the Pingzhou Yamen, the governor of Pingzhou was very nervous about this. He didn't even dare to offend the leading officers and soldiers. The other party wanted to employ people and requisition cells, and they cooperated.

In the prison, Zheng Yiming was dragged here by officers and soldiers, and then escorted into the cell.

"Just stay still—"

After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, they kicked Zheng Yiming hard on the vest with another "bang" sound.

"Woo"

Zheng Yiming felt pain in his back and fell down on the brick bed in the cell. At this time, his hands were also released, and he had enough energy to remove the cloth from his mouth tremblingly. Then he looked around, his expression also changed. Somewhat pale.

"You guys, why did you arrest me - why -"

Zheng Yiming rushed to the cell door, stretched out his hand and shouted outside, but no one responded to him at all.

——

Outside Pingzhou City, the officers and soldiers opened the way for carriages to move behind. The majestic imperial envoy team entered Pingzhou City at dusk and then went straight to Pingzhou Yamen.

The magistrate of Pingzhou and the former examiner of Qiuwei brought a group of officials to greet him at the yamen. However, the reading of the imperial edict was only secondary, and the meeting within the government office was the main thing.

The imperial envoy sat behind the desk in the official office of the chief official of the Yamen. Outside the desk stood several officials, including the magistrate of Pingzhou and the examiner of the Gongyuan Academy whose leg injury had not yet healed.

Except for the imperial envoy and the people he brought with him, all the officials below were silent.

"Bang~"

The imperial envoy slapped the table hard, making all the officials tremble. At the same time, his own hand was sore from the shock, which also made his angry face even more distorted.

"Secret messages about imperial examination fraud have reached the capital, and even alarmed the Holy Emperor. Pingzhou's imperial examination is so bold!"

Several officials stood there with cold sweat on their faces. The chief examiner of Gongyuan looked up carefully. The imperial envoy was furious at the moment, but the latter was looking at Dutong aside.

"Liu Dutong, have you brought everyone back?"

The military attache answered with his hands raised.

"My lord, we have found and brought back all the people in and around Pingzhou City. There are also some people who have returned to their hometowns. We have also sent people there and they will be brought back soon!"

"Well! You can't miss one!"

"Don't worry, sir, there will be nothing wrong!"

Qin almost nodded, and then looked at the officials below, or at least at the examiner of Gongyuan. Just being stared at by him, the sweat on the latter's face increased visibly.

"Master Zhao, you can't just die without saving me."

The imperial envoy frowned and looked at the officials present. After showing off his authority for so long, he finally waved to them.

As soon as this action came out, at least the chief examiner of Gongyuan felt a little relieved. He took the lead to approach. Although the local officials in Pingzhou were nervous, they also followed subconsciously.

The imperial envoy said with a serious expression.

"This matter must not become a big deal, or even be confirmed, at least it cannot be confirmed as what Chengsheng wants! Otherwise it will not be a matter for your heads!"

Seeing that several officials looked uglier than their dead mothers, the imperial envoy sneered.

"If it is handled properly, you won't have to die. If you help properly and are sincere and loyal to the court, maybe."

The imperial envoy narrowed his eyes and looked at several officials. The chief examiner of Gongyuan immediately reacted.

"I will definitely never forget your great kindness, and I will try my best to repay you!" "Uh, so is the official!" "Yeah, yes, the same is true for the official!"

Qin almost nodded.

"Maybe I can get promoted to a higher position, but! There must be no more mistakes! I brought a battalion of soldiers to Pingzhou, and I won't allow any mistakes. Anyone who goes wrong will be punished by death!"

"Yes!" "I understand."

"As long as you understand, send people to call those who have given money before. Gongsheng and their heads must come!"

"Yes, I will do it right away!"

Several officials wiped the sweat with their sleeves, knowing that since the imperial envoy was trying to vent his anger, those wealthy families would inevitably have to pay some of the "sincerity" the imperial envoy said!

In Pingzhou City, at the Wang residence, the government officials arrived and were invited into the courtyard by servants of the Wang family.

There were quite a few government servants here, eight in total, and it seemed that they would use force if they disobeyed.

After a while, Wang Xingfu and Wang Shicai arrived in the living room. After a while of whispering, they learned from the official that it was related to the imperial examination. The Wang family father and son left home with the official with uneasy expressions.

Although he did not go to the front yard to watch, Wu Sunheng knew all this. At this moment, he and Master Jin Guang were drinking tea in the house while playing chess and discussing Taoism.

When there was movement in Wang's front yard, neither of them moved, but Wu Sunheng spoke.

"It seems that the fraud in the imperial examination has happened. Now the Wang family doesn't have to worry about monsters and incense."

The old monk knew what Wu Sunheng meant. If the imperial examination fraud happened, the Wang family and his son might lose their heads together. There was really no need to worry about monsters harming people.

"Alas! My Buddha is compassionate!"

The old monk just sighed, but it was not their turn to take care of the court affairs. This can only be said to have cause and effect.

However, about an hour later, there was another movement in the front yard of the Wang family. The movement really shocked Wu Sunheng and Monk Jinguang in the backyard.

The two of them stopped playing chess, and Wu Sunheng looked at the old monk and said.

"Master, I'll come as soon as I go and see what's going on!"

The old monk nodded slightly without saying a word. Wu Sunheng had already stood up at this moment, and swept out the door in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the front yard, and no one noticed even with the use of blindfolding.

In the front yard of Wang's house, Wang Shicai's face was very ugly when he came back, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Wang Xingfu, on the other hand, was already tired from traveling and traveling. Although he took a rest during the day, he didn't recuperate well. When he came back, he looked a little pale.

The father and son entered the house and reached the living room. Wang Shicai finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Dad! This is the inheritance that generations of my Wang family have worked hard to save. What will we do if we just hand it over to others?"

Wang Xingfu's hands were also shaking slightly.

"What, what should I do? My son, you have to remember that you can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. And after this calamity has passed, you will still be in Pingzhou and Jieyuan. This will give you another layer of connection. Our Wang family will still be able to prosper in the future. , if you can get your money back, remember not to tell your mother yet."

"Oh, that's good"

The Wang family father and son were slumped in the hall for a while, and Wu Sunheng frowned in the shadows outside.

——

At about the same time, Zheng Yiming was still half asleep in the prison of Pingzhou Yamen, but someone walked over with a lantern outside the cell, and he heard the footsteps of many people.

Zheng Yiming suddenly woke up and immediately ran to the cell door. When he saw some people arriving in front of his cell door, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

A chair was placed outside and a stool was placed in front of the cell door. Some people sat down and others stood on both sides.

The lights were not bright, and Zheng Yiming couldn't even see who was there. A man who looked like an official was holding a piece of paper filled with words and suddenly shouted into the cell.

"Zheng Yiming——"

This sudden roar startled Zheng Yiming, who just looked outside blankly, and then reacted immediately.

"Why did you arrest me? What crime did I commit?"

"What crime was committed?"

The official sitting on the chair asked with a sneer, and then said sharply.

"Zheng Yiming, in order to gain fame, you tried to bribe the examiner of the Gongyuan Academy. After you were rejected, the examiner thought that you had some knowledge and did not stop you from making reference. Who knew that you had a vicious mind and failed to bribe and cheat? You actually turned black and white and beat you up, collaborating with many people. Let’s send a secret letter to the capital to recommend the imperial examination for fraud.”

"Yes and no?"

Zheng Yiming immediately collapsed on the ground and stared outside with wide eyes. This group of people, this group of people

"It's unfair, it's unfair - I have never bribed the examiner at all. Why should I bribe the examiner because of my talent? It was them. They changed my paper. I should have been Pingzhou Jieyuan - it was them who confused right and wrong - I am wronged. ——”

"Bang~"

"That's nonsense——"

The officials outside shouted angrily, but at the same time they were shocked in their hearts.

Zheng Yiming actually knew that he had been replaced with a paper? How did this leak out?
