Talk about the world of mortals in detail

"What crime have I committed? What crime have I committed——"

Zheng Yiming shouted in panic, but although he was not powerless, he was no match for the soldiers. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

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

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

"Mr. Zheng——Mr. Zheng——"

"Xiaofa, look after my book——"

Zheng Yiming only had time to shout one sentence over there, and his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.

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

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

Ke Xiaofa struggled violently, and when he looked back, he found that it was the shopkeeper who hugged him.

"Shopkeeper, please let me go, please let me go, they took Master Zheng away"

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

Near the inn, not only the guests inside were watching, but also the pedestrians on the street. They were discussing what happened until the soldiers went away.

In the 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.

Master Zheng was taken away by the soldiers! Involved in an important case of the court?

The first thing Yu Xinmei thought of was cheating in the imperial examination, and the secret letter was sent to the capital by her. According to the date, it might be that the imperial envoy who investigated the cheating in the imperial examination had arrived.

But why did they come to arrest Master Zheng first?

Is Yu Xinmei not familiar with the human world, or is she still somewhat influenced by the court of Dayong? Even if this is not Dayong, the imperial examination should be the top priority in any country.

Will it be to protect Master Zheng?

Although Yu Xinmei comforted herself in this way, she had no confidence.

So many things have happened recently, with the appearance of both a sword fairy and a big demon, and Wusun Heng finding a monk again. Now Zheng Yiming was arrested 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 yamen runners in Pingzhou Yamen.

At the Pingzhou Yamen, the governor of Pingzhou was trembling with fear at this time, and even the leading officers and soldiers did not dare to offend him. If the other party wanted to use people, he would give them to him, and if he wanted to requisition a cell, he would cooperate.

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

"Stay here honestly--"

After the officer and soldier said this, he kicked Zheng Yiming's back hard with another "bang".

"Woo"

Zheng Yiming felt pain in his back and fell on the brick bed in the cell. His hands were loosened at this time, and he had the strength to remove the cloth stuffed in his mouth. Then he looked around, his face looked a little pale.

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

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

——

Outside Pingzhou City, soldiers led the carriage and the imperial envoy team entered Pingzhou City at dusk, and then went straight to Pingzhou Yamen.

The governor of Pingzhou and the chief examiner of the previous autumn examination brought a group of officials to greet them in the Yamen, but the reading of the imperial edict was only secondary, and the meeting inside the office was the main thing.

In the office of the chief official of the Yamen, the imperial envoy sat behind the desk, and several officials stood outside the desk, including the governor of Pingzhou and the examiner of the Imperial Academy whose leg injury has not healed yet.

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

"Bang~"

The imperial envoy slapped the table hard, frightening all the officials and causing pain in his hands, which made his angry expression even more distorted.

"The secret letter of cheating in the imperial examination has been sent to the capital, and even alarmed the emperor. Pingzhou is really bold in this imperial examination!"

Several officials stood there with cold sweat on their faces. The chief examiner of the Imperial Academy looked up carefully. The imperial envoy was furious at the moment, but he was looking at the general on the side.

"General Liu, have you brought everyone back?"

The military officer answered with a bow.

"Your Excellency, those in Pingzhou City and nearby have been found and brought back. Some who have already returned to their hometowns have also been sent to bring them back soon!"

"Yes! No one can be missed!"

"Don't worry, my Excellency, there will be no mistakes!"

The imperial envoy nodded and looked at the officials below, or just looked at the chief examiner of the Imperial Academy. The latter's sweat beads on his face increased visibly when he was stared at by him.

"You, Lord Zhao, you can't just stand by and watch them die."

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

When this action was made, at least the chief examiner of the Imperial Academy felt a little relieved. He took the lead and moved forward. Although the local officials in Pingzhou felt nervous, they also followed subconsciously.

The imperial envoy said with a serious look.

"This matter must not be made a big deal, or even confirmed, at least not confirmed as His Majesty wants! Otherwise, it will not be a matter of your heads!" Seeing that the faces of several officials were uglier than their mothers had died, the imperial envoy sneered. "If it is handled properly, you don't have to die. If you assist 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 the Imperial Academy immediately reacted.

"I will never forget your kindness and will repay you with all my strength!" "I will do the same!" "Yes, I will do the same!"

The imperial envoy nodded.

"Maybe I can be promoted, but! There must be no more mistakes! I will bring a battalion of soldiers to Pingzhou, and no mistakes are allowed. Anyone who makes a mistake will be sentenced to death!"

"Yes!" "I understand."

"It's good to understand. Those families who have paid before, send people to call them, and the tribute students and their heads must come!"

"Yes, I will do it immediately!"

Several officials wiped their sweat with their sleeves, knowing that the imperial envoy wanted to communicate, and those rich families would inevitably have to pay some of the "sincerity" mentioned by the imperial envoy!

In Pingzhou City, at Wang's house, the yamen runners of the government office arrived here and were invited into the courtyard by Wang's servants.

There were quite a few yamen runners, eight in total, and it seemed that they would use force if they didn't obey.

After a while, Wang Xingfu and Wang Shicai came to the living room. After a whisper, they learned from the runners that the father and son of the Wang family were related to the imperial examination, and left the house with an uneasy look.

Although he didn't go to the front yard to watch, all this was known to Wusun Heng. At this time, he was drinking tea, playing chess and discussing with Master Jin Guang in the house.

When the movement in the front yard of the Wang family came out, neither of them moved, but Wusun Heng spoke.

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

The old monk knew what Wusun Heng meant. If the imperial examination cheating happened, the father and son of the Wang family would probably lose their heads together, and there was really no need to worry about monsters harming people.

"Alas! My Buddha has mercy!"

The old monk just sighed, but it was not their turn to manage the affairs of the court. It can only be said that there is cause and effect.

But about an hour later, there was movement in the front yard of the Wang family, which really startled Wusun Heng and Monk Jin Guang in the backyard.

The two stopped playing chess, and Wusun Heng looked at the old monk.

"Master, I'll be back soon to see what's going on!"

The old monk nodded slightly without saying anything. Wusun Heng had already stood up at this time, and his figure flashed out of the door. In the blink of an eye, he was already in the front yard. No one noticed it under the sleight of hand.

In the front yard of the Wang family, Wang Shicai looked very bad when he came back, and his clothes were wet with sweat.

And Wang Xingfu was already tired from the journey. Although he took a rest during the day, he didn't adjust himself. When he came back, his face was a little pale.

The father and son waited in the house and went to the living room. Wang Shicai finally couldn't help it.

"Dad! This is the foundation that several generations of my Wang family have worked hard to save. What should I do in the future if I just give it to others like this?"

Wang Xingfu's hands were also shaking slightly.

"What, what should I do? Son, you must remember that if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. Moreover, after this disaster, you are still the champion of Pingzhou, which is another layer of relationship. In the future, our Wang family will still be able to rise to prosper. If the money can be returned, remember not to tell your mother first." "Well, this is fine." The father and son of the Wang family were depressed in the hall, and Wusun Heng in the shadow outside frowned. —— At about the same time, Zheng Yiming was still in a half-awake state in the middle of the night in the prison of Pingzhou Yamen, but someone walked over with a lantern outside the cell. From the sound of footsteps, there were quite a few people. Zheng Yiming woke up suddenly and ran to the prison door immediately, but saw some people there came to his cell door, so he subconsciously stepped back a few steps. A chair was placed outside and a stool was placed in front of the prison door. Some people sat down and some 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 holding a piece of paper full of words suddenly shouted into the cell. "Zheng Yiming——"

This sudden roar scared Zheng Yiming so much that he just stared outside blankly, and then immediately reacted.

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

"What crime did I commit?"

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

"Zheng Yiming, you tried to bribe the examiner in order to gain fame. After being rejected, the examiner did not stop you from taking the exam because of your knowledge. Who knew that you were so vicious that after failing to bribe and cheat, you turned black and white and conspired with many people to send a secret letter to the capital to recommend cheating in the imperial examination."

"Yes or no?"

Zheng Yiming collapsed on the ground and stared at the people outside with wide eyes.

"Unfair, unfair - I never bribed the examiner. Why should I bribe with my talent? It was them. They changed my paper. I should have been the first place in Pingzhou - they turned black and white - I am wronged -"

"Bang~"

"What nonsense -"

The official outside shouted angrily, and was suddenly shocked at the same time.

Zheng Yiming actually knew that his paper was changed? How did this matter leak out?
