As Zuo Qingluan's uncle, Mr Zuo was quite an influential figure in his clan. He was in on a lot of things.
Zuo Qingluan herself had said something at a family meeting once.
She said that she was going to marry Jun Linyuan and that Jun Linyuan was fond of her!
Therefore, Mr Zuo was thrilled to see Jun Linyuan here. The young man was going to be the Zuo family's royal son-in-law, and with the crown prince here, Mr Zuo was sure that His Majesty would cut him some slack.
Hence, Mr Zuo dropped to his knees with a long face. "Your Majesty, I've searched everywhere in the record office, but there's no extra exam paper. The one Grand Secretary Fang handed in was really Feng Wu's paper —"
Emperor Wu was furious!
This Zuo He was unbelievable! It was so obvious that his scam had been exposed, but he still insisted on his innocence! The emperor couldn't stand this man!
Infuriated, Emperor Wu kicked Mr Zuo's shoulder. "You're abominable!"
