Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 634

Chu Hesheng looked at Chu Zhuang, wondering and wondering.

He wasn't sure whether what Chu Zhuang said was the truth, or if he was lying to him.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other in the air.

Chu Zhuangju's eyes were full of indifference.

It doesn't matter whether Chu Hesheng admits it or not now. The testimony Yun Zhanfei and the others found and Chu Hesheng's guilty conscience are enough to prove this matter.

If Chu Hesheng confessed honestly, he would be dismissed and investigated at most.

But if he lied, he would be deceiving the emperor!

Then He Zhengming's end will soon be his turn.

Sima Jincheng was walking around in a hurry. He wanted to wink at Chu Hesheng and warn him not to betray himself.

But Chu Zhuang seemed to have a place for a long time. When questioning Chu Hesheng, he deliberately stood between the two, separating Sima Jincheng and Chu Hesheng.

As a result, he couldn't see Chu Hesheng at all, so he could only secretly worry on the sidelines.

A layer of sweat broke out on Chu Hesheng's forehead, and his breathing became short of breath.

He is still hesitating.

But Yu Wenchang didn't have that much patience for Chu Hesheng, he looked at Chu Hesheng indifferently and dignifiedly, and reprimanded him: "Why don't you tell the truth!"

Chu Hesheng was already terrified in his heart, but now he was yelled at by Yu Wenchang again, and his body trembled with fright.

"Your Majesty, spare me! I don't want to give false testimony, I didn't do it voluntarily!"

Chu Hesheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Wenchang, begging for mercy.

It is now admitted that only Chu Hesheng was punished, and if he really committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, then the entire Chu family would be implicated.

"Why don't you tell me the truth!"

Yu Wenchang squinted his eyes, and a dark light of unknown meaning flashed across his cloudy and old eyes.

The death of Chu Zhangyang was nothing to Yu Wenchang.

The most important thing is that he wants to use this opportunity to attack the Sima family!

The Sima family has covered the sky with one hand in the court for decades.

Before that, Yu Wenchang had nothing to do with them, he could only spend time with them.

After so many years, the power of the Sima family has indeed weakened step by step, and it is no longer as strong as it was during Sima Zhishang's time.

But this is still not enough for Yu Wenchang.

As an ambitious emperor, he couldn't allow his ministers to hold too many handles, which would threaten his Huangquan.

This time Chu Zhuang handed him the handle of the Sima family, so how could he not make good use of it!

Chu Hesheng was shocked by Yuwenchang's wrath of the emperor, lying on the ground trembling, not daring to hide anything, and told about Sima Jincheng beating Chu Zhangyang to death.

"Master Sima threatened this official to give false testimony, and this Lord Chu's body is right in front of his eyes. This official, I have no choice but to stop obeying their orders!"

Although Chu Hesheng was terrified in his heart, he still didn't forget to find a reason for himself in the end, and put all the blame on Sima's family.

Anyway, as long as he confesses, it means that Chu Hesheng has offended the Sima family.

That being the case, Chu Hesheng didn't mind offending him more severely.

When Sima Jincheng heard that Chu Hesheng had betrayed him, he was angry and angry, and at the same time mixed with a trace of fear.

Of course, he wasn't terrified of the murder, but because this matter was brought up in front of Yu Wenchang, and he was terrified of the consequences he would have to bear in the future.

Murdering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime!

Sima Jincheng wanted to refute, but now that the evidence was solid, he had no room to refute.

"Who threatened you?" Yu Wenchang asked thoughtfully.

Sir Sima, is it Sima Zhishang, Sima Weibo, or Sima Jincheng?

Listening to Yu Wenchang's question, Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows. Yu Wenchang was not willing to use this incident to punish Sima Jincheng, and he wanted to use this opportunity to deal with Sima Weibo and the others.

Although he guessed Yu Wenchang's intention, Chu Zhuang didn't say anything, instead he was happy to see the result.

The Sima family's power is too great, if they can take this opportunity to be weakened, it will be a good thing for both Chuzhuang and Yunhong.

"This……"

Chu Hesheng was stunned when he heard this.

It was undoubtedly Sima Weibo who arranged all of this, but is Sima Weibo really involved in this matter?

One must know that even if Chen Ming chose to commit suicide, he would not dare to talk to his boss, Ma Weibo.

If he confessed Sima Weibo, would he be able to bear the consequences?

Sima Jincheng originally wanted to exonerate himself and prove that Chu Hesheng was lying, but after hearing Yu Wenchang's questioning, he couldn't care less about exonerating himself now.

If this matter is only on his head, then the consequences are not particularly serious.

But once Sima Weibo is involved, the entire Sima family may be shaken!

"My Majesty, I forced Chuhe to give birth! All the things were done by me alone, and have nothing to do with other people!"

Sima Jincheng directly crossed Chuzhuang, ran to Chu Hesheng's side, looked at Yu Wenchang, and completely took the responsibility for this matter on himself.

After finishing speaking, Sima Jincheng cast a gloomy glance at Chu Hesheng, his eyes full of warning.

It was enough for Chu Hesheng to betray him. If Sima Weibo was involved, they would definitely not let Chu Hesheng go.

However, Sima Jincheng obviously didn't understand people's hearts.

This Chu Hesheng was still hesitating at first whether he should say it or not, but when he was stimulated by Sima Jincheng's gaze, he suddenly had other thoughts in his mind.

Now that things have gotten to this point, the Sima family will definitely not let him go.

That being the case, why did he have to cover up for the Sima family?

It's better to just tell the truth about this matter, and Yu Wenchang may give him a lighter punishment because he reported the truth and was coerced.

Wanting to understand this, Chu Hesheng raised his head and looked at Yu Wenchang, and said with trepidation: "My Majesty, Lord Sima is lying, and the arrangements for the follow-up matters are made by Lord Shangshuling!"

"Chuhe gave birth to you!"

Seeing that Chu Hesheng really dared to involve Sima Weibo, Sima Jincheng stared at him with wide eyes, wishing he could swallow him alive.

Seeing that Chu Hesheng had given him an answer that satisfied him, Yu Wenchang felt satisfied, but seeing that Sima Jincheng dared to be so arrogant in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.

Hong Da was used to observing words and expressions, and when he saw Yu Wenchang was dissatisfied, he immediately stood up, and yelled at Sima Jincheng, "How can Yuqian be presumptuous!"

Sima Jincheng was reprimanded, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied. He pursed his lips, knelt down on the ground, and begged Yu Wenchang: "Please enlighten the emperor! This is what I did wrong. I am willing to let you go!" I take full responsibility and have nothing to do with anyone else!"

Yu Wenchang had already made up his mind, how could he be persuaded by Sima Jincheng to change his mind in a few words, he glanced at Hong Da and nodded slightly.

Hong Da understood, and told the little eunuch at the side: "The person who announced the Minister's Order will come to the palace to see you!"

The little eunuch left soon, and I believe that Sima Weibo will come to this hall in a short time.

Chu Zhuang's lips showed a smile that he couldn't help but notice. A big drama is about to be staged, and he doesn't know if Sima Weibo has the ability to deal with what will happen next.

"Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with my father, I did it all by myself!"

Watching the little eunuch call Sima Weibo, Sima Jincheng was anxious and shouted at Yu Wenchang.

However, Yu Wenchang ignored his intention, closed his eyes, rested his mind, and waited for Sima Weibo's arrival.

"Lord Sima, save your energy." Standing beside Sima Weibo, Chu Zhuang smiled and said in a low voice.

It was kind of him to remind him.

After all, the people who delivered the decree had already left, Sima Weibo was destined to make this trip, no matter how much Sima Jincheng yelled, it would be futile.

"Chu Zhuang!"

Sima Jincheng's eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and called out this name, wishing he could swallow Chu Zhuang alive.

Chu Zhuang looked at Sima Jincheng's appearance, thought for a while, and moved a few steps to the side.

This Sima Jincheng is currently in a fit of anger, even though the emperor Yu Wenchang is on his head.

But Chu Zhuang couldn't guarantee that Sima Jincheng would do anything drastic.

For his own safety, Chu Zhuang still decided to stay away from him, a dangerous person.

……

When Sima Jincheng was called into the palace by Yu Wenchang, he had already sent someone to notify Sima Weibo.

"The emperor suddenly sent someone to let Jin Cheng and Chu Hesheng enter the palace..."

Listening to the servant's message, Sima Weibo paced back and forth in the room, unable to figure out what Yu Wenchang wanted to see the two of them.

Suddenly, Sima Weibo didn't know what he thought of, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that the matter was discovered by the emperor?

But soon Sima Weibo himself began to deny it again.

He has already cleaned up the follow-up of that matter, and the matter is still very secretive. Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to find out!

Sima Weibo wandered around the room for a few times, but he couldn't think of a good solution.

After thinking about it, I could only go to Sima Zhishang first and ask his opinion.

"The emperor sent someone to call Jin Cheng away?"

Sima Zhishang frowned, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He and Yu Wenchang had dealt with each other in court for dozens of years, and he knew Yu Wenchang very well.

Under normal circumstances, for someone of Yu Wenchang's level, there is absolutely no way for some small troubles to get in front of him.

Yu Wenchang will personally intervene, which means that this matter is not trivial!

"Not only did he call Jincheng away, but Chu Hesheng who was beside him also went with him." Sima Weibo nodded quickly in response.

"Tell me honestly, what did you do wrong?!"

Sima Zhizhi only slightly thought of the key point of the matter.

Sima Weibo hesitated slightly, but he didn't dare to hide it, and finally told him about Sima Jincheng accidentally beating Chu Zhangyang to death.
