Chapter 229 The first test of the sword of the poor family
Ma Zhou's words were loud and thrust into everyone's hearts.
Li Shimin slowed down his tea drinking speed and glanced at Changsun Wuji again, which was obviously asking: "Is this happening?"
The fact that the Luoyang family and Zhao Pu benefited each other was Li Shimin's think tanks - it could also be said to be Changsun Wuji's proposal.
Changsun Wuji never fights unprepared wars when doing things.
And I like to hide my trump cards and have a strong desire to control it.
Half of the heads of the dozens of families in the hall had various transactions with him - but these people didn't know that they always thought that they were Changsun Wuji's only eyeliner.
According to Changsun Wuji, the Luoyang family led by Zhang Xingxing did not intend to cooperate with Zhao Pu in the conventional way of giving money.
Instead, it uses piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and children to join the school, and even some industries to give away gifts.
This kind of thing is very secretive and it is difficult to leave evidence.
The most important thing is that the bribery has not yet begun. The chess, calligraphy and painting and property deeds are all in the hands of the head of the aristocratic family and have not been given away. Where can the evidence come from?
And it's ironclad?
"But the scholar in front of him doesn't look like he is talking nonsense?"
Changsun Wuji muttered in his heart: "Or some of these people can't stand it and met Zhao Pu in advance?"
His eyes swept around the faces of the heads of the aristocratic families, feeling that there was almost no possibility.
Even if there is, I haven't heard any news. How could it be something that a poor family like Ma Zhou can know?
He shook his head slightly at Li Shimin, saying that he didn't know about this.
Li Shimin was very curious, but he was patient and continued to be a spectator.
Yang Mo originally fooled this matter by playing a rogue way.
Old Man Zhang and others were indignantly trying to follow him to Chang'an, but they didn't take it seriously.
Anyway, if you have too many lice, you won’t be afraid of biting, and if you have too many debts, you won’t be worried.
Which one of you who is waiting for your murderous intent in Chang'an is not heavier than your aristocratic families?
But when Ma Zhou said there was ironclad evidence, his eyes lit up and he was ecstatic: "Okay, there are unexpected gains!"
Although Ma Zhou is arrogant, the more arrogant the person is, the more he is, he has one characteristic: that is, he is hardly able to lie and is extremely proud of his face.
In front of so many people, since he said there was solid evidence, he would not make any falsehood.
"Since there is ironclad evidence, that's even better. You can go with me to Chang'an. Just now, you must go there. When you queue up and behead your head, you'll have a companion!"
With Ma Zhou's ironclad evidence, Yang Mo was more confident and sat down and said angrily: "Who colluded with the Minister of Rites to commit fraud in the imperial examination and slander the children of the royal family. Which one is not a serious crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan?"
When Ma Zhou heard this, he became more excited and thought of a soldier dying for his confidant.
"I, Ma Zhou, are just an unknown person with poor talent and low virtue. I only met Mr. Yang for the first time, so I believed me so much..."
Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed: "Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou, in the past, you listened to the rumors and rumors of others in the past, and you also looked down on Mr. Yang. What is the difference between such behavior and those despicable and shameless children of aristocratic families who look down on you?"
After some psychological struggle, when I looked at Yang Mo again, I felt that this young man in white, who was about the same age as me, had an extremely tall image, but also had a temperament that no one else had.
Seeing Yang Mo supporting Ma Zhou so hard, the heads of the aristocratic families looked at each other and their hearts were pounding.
All these people were thinking about this was that they had a spy inside them, and they had contacted Zhao Pu in advance with everyone behind their backs, but they were caught.
Cooperation between aristocratic families has always been profit-oriented.
How to do the most profits, they will go in which direction.
Therefore, at this critical moment, Old Man Zhang, who knew what kind of dogs the group of teammates were, was no longer confident.
I wanted to argue, but I was afraid that I would force myself to stand up and that I would not end the matter after the trouble.
Zhao Puze looked open-minded and did not trade with them. The ironclad saying that it was pure nonsense.
He also knew who Ma Zhou was and admired him very much.
But at this time, Yang Mo and Ma Zhou were roasted on the fire, so they could only sigh secretly: "Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou, I want to protect myself, I can only sacrifice you."
After making up his mind, he looked at Yang Mo and said, "Since this matter involves me, there is no need to go to Chang'an. Ma Zhou, if you have any ironclad evidence, take it out and in front of Mr. Li, if there is really evidence of my favoritism and fraud between me and the Luoyang officials, please let Mr. Li send someone to escort me to Chang'an and obey the court's decision."
His tone was very calm, and it made people feel that he was a good official when they heard it.
The speed of speaking is not fast, and even the poor scholars outside the house can hear clearly.
Many poor scholars became a little suspicious: Could it be that Lord Zhao really did not collude with the aristocratic families in Luoyang?
But in Ma Zhou's eyes, he became more and more disgusted with Zhao Pu.
He snorted coldly, without saying a word, but turned around and looked at Yang Mo, naturally telling everyone that I only believe Mr. Yang in the whole room.
Yang Mo was invisibly raised by Ma Zhou, and in front of Li Shimin. Yang Mo was in a very happy mood.
"Mr. Ma, since Lord Zhao wants evidence, if you have any evidence, please show him. Anyway, Lord Zhao is the prime minister and is very arrogant. Even if he misunderstood in the end, he will not care about you."
Yang Mo's words almost made Zhang Taigong and others feel distorted.
Is this still human words?
Oh, if the evidence is true, our family will be killed.
If the evidence is fake, don’t worry about it?
Although Zhao Pu scolded Yang Mo in his heart, he could not show any scruples in front of so many people.
He just smiled and looked at Ma Zhou calmly.
"Young Master, this is the evidence."
Ma Zhou was also a soft and hard-working tiger-like man. He took out a thin booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Mo with both hands.
"This is the confession of the children of the Luoyang family. They personally admitted that their families had already given a big gift to Zhao Pu, the Minister of Rites. Next year, they will definitely be on the list!"
Ma Zhou said it firmly, and Yang Mo took it over and flipped it carefully.
As Ma Zhou said, this is a testimony, and there are many oral statements from many dozen people.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are signs and seals on it.
"This is nonsense!" Zhang Taigong was angry directly, but the three-pointer of anger was aimed at Ma Zhou, and seven-pointer of his unscrupulous grandchildren.
Zhang Taigong was sure that this kind of thing was something that the ignorant prodigal sons in their aristocratic families could do.
Moreover, in the Baima Academy in Luoyang, the children of aristocratic families and poor families are already in the same power. The main reason is that the children of these aristocratic families in Luoyang look down on the children of aristocratic families and often deliberately seek fault with them.
Last year, students from aristocratic families beat their children to death because of a fight.
"Just relying on the nonsense that I don't know who wrote, I said that we were in favoritism and fraud with Zhao Tianguan. It was purely nonsense and shameless!"
But no matter how annoyed my family’s descendants were not good, they had to take care of them at this time.
And Old Man Zhang also has the confidence. If the evidence is just some hearsay rumors, it will not be up to the forefront.
"Looking at these words, they should have been written by Mr. Ma."
Yang Mo ignored Old Man Zhang, Ma Zhou nodded and said, "Young Master, it is indeed a student who took the note to record it."
"That's even more uncountable!"
The other heads of the family breathed a sigh of relief and started shouting.
Chapter completed!
