Chapter 1497: The Book is Hot

Recently, the people in the capital have had new fun.

In the market, as if appearing out of thin air, there is an extra new book. The promotion intensity is wide, the price is favorable, the cost-effectiveness is high, and the story is tortuous and bloody, making people feel like they are going to die.

The title of the book is very vulgar, vulgar to the point of being unbearable!

"Today You Ignore Me, Tomorrow You Can't Climb High"

The book unfolds from the perspective of a poor farmer's son, because of family poverty, he sold himself to a wealthy family as a valet. Because he was smart, clever, and had a lively brain, he was promoted to serve by the young master's side, studied with the young master, and could also imitate the young master's handwriting. Living together year-round, the young master and the valet actually grew more and more alike...

The young master took a fancy to a girl, and the valet also took a fancy to her.

Then...

The valet had the idea of replacing him. During an outing, he decided to replace the young master.

The novel's plot can be described as ups and downs, writing vividly how a valet went from selling himself as a slave to becoming an official and a prime minister.

The fallen scholar is worthy of being a behind-the-scenes author of bestsellers. Having been down-and-out for decades, he can still continue to be unrestrained, relying on a pen in his hand and thousands of stories in his brain. A pen, a world, writing a legend.

The storyteller had a keen sense of smell, bought the book for the first time, and began to tell stories in teahouses and restaurants, attracting a large number of poor people who were illiterate and couldn't afford to buy the book.

For a time, the people in the capital were discussing the protagonist in the book, discussing the plot.

Some people stood on the side of the valet, a man cannot be without power for a day, and for the sake of power and wealth, he should do whatever it takes. Besides, the young master has enjoyed it for twenty years, why can't the valet enjoy it.

Some people criticized the storybook for promoting negative thoughts, a valet is a valet, how can he replace him.

Some people counted how many crimes were committed, how many laws were violated, murder, adultery with others' wives and daughters, extermination of the whole clan, impersonating officials, corrupting the court, deceiving the court and His Majesty...

Counting down one crime after another, he must be executed to the ninth generation, plus Lingchi!

Otherwise, it is not enough to calm the public anger, and not enough to manifest the majesty of the law.

Dou Shu secretly opened the storybook, her heart beating like thunder.

Is it coming?

Is this Lord Chen's method?

Hearing movement outside the house, she hurriedly hid the storybook, picked up the embroidery frame, and pretended to be doing embroidery.

The maid hurried into the room, "Miss, it's not good! The master and the mistress are arguing, arguing very fiercely. The eldest young master was even beaten!"

"How are they arguing?" Dou Shu was full of surprises, but only concern and anxiety on the surface.

"The servant girl can't say. Does the miss want to go and see, the servant girl is worried!"

Dou Shu gritted her teeth, remembering Lord Chen's instructions, she must ensure her own safety. However, she really wanted to know that person's reaction.

She nodded, "Go, follow me to see."

She just looked, never approached, and would never speak. She even hid from that couple, for fear of being discovered by them, and thus being implicated.

Seeing several younger brothers, she asked casually, "I heard the father and mistress are arguing, do you know why they are arguing?"

"Isn't it because there is an extra... outside..."

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" The eldest son of the Dou family was only a half-grown boy, but like a little adult, he realized the seriousness of this matter very early.

He didn't know the truth, but it didn't prevent him from feeling strong anxiety from his parents' reaction, and he had a very bad premonition. So he stopped his younger brother from talking.

His fists were clenched, his body was tense, and his brain couldn't help but substitute his father into the valet in the storybook.

This is rebellious!

"Big sister, there is nothing here, you go back first." He said to Dou Shu.

Dou Shu was afraid of being implicated, so she nodded decisively, "If there is anything, don't carry it hard."

"Don't worry, big sister, nothing will happen."

Dou Shu hummed, turned around, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Afraid of being discovered, she hurriedly suppressed the curled corners of her mouth and tried hard to make a worried and uneasy look.

"Miss, why are the master and mistress arguing?" The maid was a talkative and curious person.

Dou Shu pulled a long face and scolded angrily: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Since the master and mistress didn't speak, we will pretend we don't know anything."

"Oh!" The maid expressed regret that she couldn't stand on the front line of eating melons, and life had no fun at all.

The book is hot.

Eunuch Wang Hai handled things very effectively, and Emperor Jian Shi also knew about this storybook, and watched it with great interest, and also made a critical reading experience.

"The person who wrote the book must have never been an official, and may not have even participated in the imperial examinations. Do you really think the court is a decoration, such an absurd replacement of identity, even if the court doesn't check for a while, the colleagues in the officialdom can't be blind."

After Emperor Jian Shi read it, he threw the storybook aside and treated it as fun.

Hearing the little eunuch serving in front of the imperial throne retell these words, Eunuch Wang Hai laughed, and muttered, "His Majesty doesn't understand the officialdom form at all, and is too wishful. Among officials, who doesn't have a few ugly things that can't be seen, not political enemies, no one will be idle and bored to actively flip old accounts of colleagues."

The competitive ecology of officialdom is clearly slightly more peaceful and gentler than the competitive ecology of eunuchs in the palace.

Eunuchs compete with each other, and they won't flip the old accounts before entering the palace, leaving each other a little face. People who can enter the palace to be eunuchs all have their own hardships and bitterness!

Similarly, people in officialdom, unless necessary, will not flip the history of colleagues before becoming officials.

Seeing that the heat is almost there.

Eunuch Wang Hai secretly notified the censors to impeach Dou Anzhi.

The censor was worried about where to start. One night, someone suddenly threw a stack of documents into the courtyard. Looking at it, it was actually an investigation report and a transcript of multiple confessions.

For a time, the censor was like getting a treasure.

Especially seeing the investigation conclusion, the identity of the skeleton, the censor was even more unable to close his mouth, completely shocked. The expression was very bewildered.

In a hurry, he hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to buy a storybook that had been hot recently.

Before, he disliked the storybook for being too vulgar and didn't care about it.

Now, he wished he could analyze it word by word!

While reading the storybook, while comparing the investigation report, the more he looked, the more he couldn't close his mouth, and his eyes couldn't close either. After two big all-nighters, he finally sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.

If he doubted the authenticity of the investigation report at first, then after reading all the materials, the censor had already 100% believed the content on the investigation report.

"Dou Anzhi is actually impersonated by a valet? The real Dou Anzhi is already dead? Absurd! There is such an absurd thing in the world! This official has heard of substitute examinees in the imperial examinations, but has never thought that there is also a substitute for being an official! I thought it was the storybook talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that reality is even more bizarre than the storybook."

The censor Liu carefully selected by Eunuch Wang Hai is a utilitarian, and at the same time an action-oriented person with strong execution.

When there is interference from superiors, Zhang Yushi Liu is a mad dog, biting whoever he sees. When there is no interference from superiors, Zhang Yushi Liu will choose to be himself, incarnate as a justice messenger in officialdom, swearing to sweep away officialdom corruption!

Pick the soft persimmon!

This is a merit delivered to the door, enough for him to leave a name in history. As a utilitarian and an action-oriented person, how can he miss such a great opportunity!

Impeach!

Must impeach fiercely! ===== CHAPTER 1498 =====
