663. Chapter 663 The Six Arts Academy Competition [2]
"You will have to compete in the Sixth Arts Academy the day after tomorrow. How are you doing?"
"No big problem." Ming Yulong replied with his head buried.
Baili Kun's deep blue eyes wanted to ask her how she was shooting. The female blacksmith had already come out, holding a stack of books in her hand, and said:
"I just saw that Miss Ming, you are also a person who cherishes books. I have always piled up old books here, and they are all filled with strange and strange records. I originally planned to clean up and sell them in a few days. If you like it, let's go together.
Take it away.”
The stack of books looks like the previous ones, with a certain history. The cover is covered with dust and dilapidated, but the pages inside are well preserved.
Ming Yulong took it happily and nodded, "Thank you, I like reading such books the most."
The female blacksmith clapped her hands, watched her gently sweep the dust, and smiled:
"This is all left by our ancestors and has nothing to do with ironwork. We are not interested in these things, so there is no need to say thank you."
Baili Kun took the lead when Ming Yulong brought the book up and gave a reason first.
"I am a man, so I will do this!"
Although in Mobei, women can do what men can do, but they have to write secrets for women, so they must be diligent.
Ming Yulong looked at him with a funny look. Since the first time he saw him, she always felt something different, but she couldn't tell where it was.
This unthinkable and unimportant question was quickly left behind by her.
I had ten days to study hard, but because she wasted a lot of time in various things. So in the last two days, she had no plans to travel and stayed in the mansion to study in surprise.
In the past two days, she learned about the follow-up of the affairs of Minister Tan and Prime Minister Bai from Rong Yi.
Prime Minister Bai and the fifth prince led the guards to search at Shilang Tan's house. As she expected, no silver beads were found. But unexpectedly, in Shilang Tan's study, the guards searched accidentally triggered the mechanism.
Many secret letters from Mr. Tan and the account books for embezzlement and bribery were found in the opened agency.
At that time, Prime Minister Bai was present, and after seeing these things, he immediately presented them to the fifth prince. Under the sight of Prime Minister Bai and the guards, the fifth prince had no choice but to present these things to the emperor.
When the emperor read these letters and account books, he immediately threw them to the censorate similar to the current Anti-Corruption Bureau, and ordered his chief censor to investigate the matter strictly.
He took the account book and searched it layer by layer by layer by layer by Ministry of Justice and Censorate, and confirmed that every amount recorded above was indeed true, which also involved many officials of all sizes.
Although Mr. Tan always said that he was wronged, under the ironclad evidence, the emperor did not have any mercy on Mei Jieyu's plea.
Because of the huge amount of money involved, it was regarded as the second largest corruption case after the founding of the country. The position of Shilang Tan was taken back and the entire mansion was exiled for three thousand miles. Later, the title of Concubine Mei Jie, who was constantly making trouble, was removed and the cold palace was inscribed.
Since then, the matter has slowly subsided, and many officials in the court have been affected.
Of course, these are all later stories.
Ming Yulong had no sympathy for the experience of Shilang Tan’s family. She just felt that it was a bit too coincidental to say that no one was framed.
But she didn't have much time to think about it, because the Sixth Arts Academy has begun.
