A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 20

Ma Lian's family background is prominent, but he took the risk of cheating in the imperial examination, just to win a sigh of relief. When he was inquiring about ways in the capital, someone claimed that there were exam questions that could be sold to him at a high price, and for a moment he believed it to be true. The reason why Chen Zishang was killed was because Chen Zishang repented after getting the Guiyou number, and he was unwilling to sell the article to Ma Lian, so Ma Lian killed him on impulse. Ma Lian said that the seller he met was an old man who looked like a boatman.

Although the case was over, Lan Jue didn't have any clues about Mr. Jinghu. He asked Zhang Ping to check the mildew on the examination paper, so he might be able to know the method of cheating on the scroll. Zhang Ping studied it all night and found the clue. The handwriting on the test questions was written with glutinous rice mixed with ink. His fingers felt sticky and moldy afterward. And Uncle Yang used this method to draw Taifu Liu's test questions. Lan Jue ordered people to catch Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang said that he had accepted Master Shao's money to help him cheat because of his family's difficulties. Later, Shao Zhi also confessed to the crime. Shao Zhi’s parents accepted a loan shark for him to study, but they were forced to death by the lender. Only when there is no evidence, Chu Fangtong will be brought to justice. Even if Mr. Jinghu asked him to go through fire and water for such a great kindness, he would not hesitate to do so. Therefore, the seals and Guiyou lottery in the imperial examinations were all done by himself, and the scholar He Xuan cooperated with him in removing Lan Jue from the position of examiner because he admired Mr. Jinghu.

Lan Jue and Zhang Ping analyzed the case, and found that Mr. Jinghu had gone to great lengths to get rid of Chu Fangtong, the Minister of the Household Department, in order to take advantage of Shao Zhi. Later, Lan Jue speculated that Mr. Jinghu might also want to use this case to get rid of Dali Temple Minister Tao. Zhou Feng, maybe Tao Zhoufeng has something to do with the Moluo Village's case of censure. Zhang Ping checked the case file of the Moluo Village's censure case, and accidentally discovered that the case file was reviewed by Tao Zhoufeng. Lan Jue intends to ask the Holy Master to save Tao Zhoufeng from the death penalty, and perhaps force Mr. Jinghu to do it again.

That night, Zhang Ping woke up hearing a sound of xun, while Chen Thou had fallen into a coma from the mist. Zhang Ping met the mysterious Mr. Jinghu, and Mr. Jinghu said that he really came for the Moro tribe, and he didn't want to tell Zhang Ping what he knew 20 years ago. But Zhang Ping guessed that the person who told the second cobbler Yin Jitian the legend that the person who bought the Phoenix head at a high price was Mr. Jinghu, and even the killer who killed Xuanji was sent by him. Everything he did was to make these evildoers suffer the same. to death. Mr. Jinghu admitted a series of plans, and told Zhang Ping not to interfere with his plans. But Zhang Ping believes that no matter what grievances the Moluo tribe has, Mr. Jinghu should not stop killing with killing, let alone implicate innocent people.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ping woke up and found that he had the fiftieth volume of "Strange Night Talk" in his hand, but the handwriting in the scroll was indeed Tao Zhoufeng's handwriting. Zhang Ping did not want to believe that Tao Zhoufeng was his idol, Mu Ye. pregnancy. He took the scroll and found Lan Jue to help him enter the Xing Prison Division. He wanted to ask Tao Zhoufeng the truth about this matter.

Lan Jue brought Zhang Ping to the Xing Prison Division. He asked Tao Zhoufeng if he was Mu Yesheng who wrote "Strange Night Talk", but Tao Zhoufeng refused to admit it. Zhang Ping said that he had been growing up reading Mu Yesheng's stories, and had always regarded it as a role model for his lifelong pursuit, but if Mu Yesheng was just a person who weaved lies in the book, he would rather never read the book. At this point, Tao Zhoufeng finally admitted that he was Mu Yesheng. Twenty years ago, Tao Zhoufeng was the prime minister of Dali Temple, responsible for reviewing the files submitted by the local government. One day, he received an urgent file from Lingnan Road. After reading the file, he thought of the case of extermination of Hui'an Hall that just happened in the capital recently, and Hui'an Hall was the family of the deceitful doctor who was revenged by the second cobbler. At that time, he felt that the two cases were somehow related, so he planned to re-investigate the Hui'an Tang Miemen case. He found the poison at the scene, and then checked the Imperial Medical Office, and found that an imperial doctor specializing in poison manufacturing in the Imperial Medical Office had disappeared mysteriously. After tracing all the way, Tao Zhoufeng discovered that before the tragedy in Moluo Village, someone had seen the imperial physician, Sitian Supervisor Zhengxuanji, and Ministry of Industry Construction Director Changwei appear in the southern border. After that, Chang Wei disappeared, and except for Xuanji, everyone else involved in the case also disappeared. Tao Zhoufeng realized that the case was very involved, but he couldn't hold back to continue the investigation, and found out that the second cobbler turned out to be a celebrity around the Queen Mother, who specially developed various poisons for the Queen Mother, so the Moluo Village case probably came from the Queen Mother. Instigated.

Ever since Tao Zhoufeng knew this secret, he could no longer be the jealous Mu Yesheng, so he could only seal his pen here. Lan Jue speculated that Mr. Jinghu hated Tao Zhoufeng because Tao Zhoufeng did not report the knowledge of the case back then. Tao Zhoufeng sighed with emotion that in the past 20 years, he had struggled to survive without sleep and food, and now he still cannot escape death. Now the queen mother must have known about the fiftieth episode of "Strange Night Talks", he must be doomed, and indeed the queen mother sent her father-in-law to Xing Prison, Lan Jue and Zhang Ping hurriedly avoided.

The father-in-law next to the queen mother conveyed the queen mother's will and ordered Tao Zhoufeng to die. Zhang Ping and Lan Jue watched Tao Zhoufeng hang himself to death in the dark, only hating themselves for being powerless.
