Chapter 6 — Female Judge

“Van Khe.” I didn't answer. He stood at the door, as if suddenly not knowing how to enter. "Minh Chau was still young, and was deceived by Ta Hanh Chu. It was wrong for him to steal the manuscript, but he did not know anything about the late dispatch. Can I ask His Majesty one thing, so that he does not have to go to prison?" I looked at the champion seal on the table. The seal had just been carved, and there were still wood chips in the corners. "Father came at the right time." He frowned. "What do you mean by that?" "When I won the prize, you didn't come. When I was beaten back by the Ta family, you didn't come. When people accused me of leaking the question mark on the main hall, you didn't come. Only when Luc Minh Chau had to be punished, did you come." Father's hand in his sleeve tightened. "She's my sister." child." I raised my head. "I am also your daughter." As soon as these words fell, he seemed to be pushed by someone, his shoulders immediately lowered. After a while, he said: "It's my fault for you. But we're all one family, so what kind of grudge can we have to spend the night?" I placed the old essay that Luc Minh Chau had memorized in front of him. "She memorized your essay, stole your rank, and wanted to push you into the exam leak case. If you hadn't made up the Han Nha translation, would father still say we are one family at this time?" Father avoided looking at the words on the paper. "Anyway, son. We must also give it a path." I said: "She chose her own path." After her father left, Tan Tri Vi walked in. She glanced toward the door. "Your father?" "Yes." "Soft hearted?" I shook my head. Tan Tri Vi placed a cup of hot tea in my hand. "The female faculty member enters the Van Hoa Academy, in the future there will be more such things. Today it's a younger sister, tomorrow it could be a colleague, the day after that it could be a superior. If you leave a way out for them every time, you yourself won't have a way to go." I took the tea cup. "I know." She pushed the tea cup closer to my hand. "It's good to know. His Majesty orders you to enter Van Hoa immediately." Hoa Vien, first investigate the late An Tay dispatch case. "What about Ta Hanh Chu?" For Luc Minh Chau, this punishment is more painful than kneeling on the street. What she wants most is to be hailed as a talented woman. Now, the whole capital only remembers the Han Nha translation station.10The Van Hoa Institute is located in the east of the imperial citadel. The first day I entered the hospital, I received a green jade card. On it were engraved four words: Female Champion. There are many old gods in the courtyard. When looking at me, some people examine me, some people avoid me, and some people deliberately put the documents down on the table. The first person to speak was an old scholar. "Lady Luc, Van Hoa Academy investigates royal politics, not poetry and literature. If you don't understand the station's translation records, there's no need to force it." I hung the green jade card on my belt. "Thank you for the reminder." He thought I would back down. I picked up the first file of the delayed An Tay dispatch case and spread it out. "The Bach Sa station station is missing two horse cards, the emergency dispatch tube is missing two station bells. But the file shows the horse cards are complete, the bells are also complete. Who checked this question?" The lid of the teacup in the old scholar's hand paused. Tieu went to the side and bowed his head low. I asked again: "The third page in the file, the original An Tay newspaper used red sand paper. The fake newspaper issued to the Kinh used green hemp paper. Why is the paper check section blank?" Sweat broke out on my forehead again. Tan Tri Vi stood at the door, not saying anything to help me. Also not necessary. Ta

turn the pages one by one. Translate Bach Sa station, Ta Gia stable, southern room of the Ministry of Rites, Luc Palace office box. These four clues are like four strings twisted together, leading to the same place. Ta Gia Villa. That's not the place to hide emergency reports. It's a place to edit reports. That evening, Kim Ngo Ve searched three unused red sandpaper and a set of fake seals from the An Tay station. When being escorted to Tam Ty, Ta Hanh Chu passed through the Van Hoa courtyard gate. He stopped. I'm preparing to go out. He stood on the other side of the stone steps looking at me. "Van Khe." I stopped walking. He was wearing a prison uniform and his hair was tied in a loose bun. "If it weren't for Luc Minh Chau, I would have married you." I asked: "Marry me, then write the Ta family's name on my essays?" The lines on his face were tense. "You don't need to look at me like that. Dai Ung has never had a woman who held court on her own. Even if she won the prize, she still needed the family's protection. I just chose a more stable path for the Ta family." "So you chose Luc Minh. Chau." "She obeyed." At this point, he told the truth. I nodded. "Then you should marry a blank piece of paper." Kim Ngo Ve, escorting next to him, coughed softly. Ta Hanh Chu closed his mouth. We walked down the stone steps.
