Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Chapter 953: Raise an army to investigate the crime

Leng Yu pointed at the people lining up at the stairs,

"There are so many people and we can't even wait until dark. Let's not waste time here."

"OK then!"

After Luo Lan nodded, he followed him towards the door.

When the waiter saw them leaving, he stepped forward to ask in confusion.

"Guys, have you done your business? Why are you leaving so soon?"

Leng Yu waved his hand impatiently.

"There are too many people. Come back when there are fewer people."

The waiter rolled his eyes and couldn't help but remind him,

"It's too late when we are young. Tomorrow is the last day. If we don't take action, we will have no chance. If the young master really wants to meet in advance, there is nothing we can do."

When he said this, the waiter rubbed his fingers, and Leng Yu understood the meaning of his words.

He immediately winked at Ayu, who took out a piece of silver from his pocket.

"Then please be accommodating. Our young master doesn't want to wait too long."

The waiter weighed the silver in his hand and nodded happily, "Okay, sir, please come with me."

Leng Yu winked directly at Ayu,

"You go up, we will wait for you below."

He really didn't bother to talk to such an insignificant person.

After Ayu nodded understandingly, he followed the waiter to the back door.

It turns out that this teahouse has a back door that leads directly to the upper floor. As long as the waiter gets a favor, he can take people through the back door.

It seems that no matter when you want to get something done, going through the back door is a tried and tested method!

After a while, Ayu came back quickly.

He came to Leng Yu and whispered back:

"After asking, he said that he was the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, but he said that although his official position was low, there was someone above him to protect him. I asked further, and he was unwilling to say more. I paid ten taels of silver and came down. "

Head of the Etiquette Department?

How dare someone from the eighth grade dare to make such an opening? It's obviously impossible.

So who is the big man behind him?

Leng Yu breathed a heavy sigh of relief, put one hand behind his back, and walked towards the outside of Desheng Tea House.

Walking on the road, Luo Lan followed his footsteps and asked softly:

"Shall we go back to the palace?"

"No, let's go to Prince Ming's Mansion."

Luo Lan looked at the sky. It was already approaching dusk. He estimated that Leng Ming had already returned to Prince Ming's Mansion. Did Leng Yu want to raise an army to punish him?

She reminded with some worry,

"He hasn't been in the Ministry of Etiquette for a long time. You can't blame him alone for this."

"You want to cover him again?"

"This is not cover-up. I am telling the truth. The relationship between Leng Ming and Luo Xue has just eased. I don't want to make them unhappy because of these things."

Leng Yu looked sideways at her as he walked.

"Okay, for Lan'er's sake, I can be a little lenient with him, but I have to tell him personally about this matter, and let him go to the major tea houses tomorrow to inquire about it."

Hearing what he said, Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She mainly felt sorry for Luo Xue. Originally, Luo Xue felt that Leng Ming had been doing his best and the relationship with him had eased a lot. If Leng Yu was cured because of this, If he was convicted of his crime, Luo Xue would definitely find it unbearable.

When they arrived at Prince Ming's Mansion, Leng Ming and Luo Xue were taking Duoduo to eat. When they saw them coming in, they hurriedly asked the servants to bring more bowls and chopsticks.

Perhaps due to Luo Lan's influence, Leng Yu never thought that he, the emperor, was so noble, so he picked up his chopsticks without ceremony and started eating with Leng Ming's family.

Naturally, these unpleasant things could not be mentioned at the dinner table. It was not until after the meal that Luo Xue asked her servants to take Duoduo to bed, and then the four of them came to the main hall of Prince Ming's Mansion.

Leng Yu's expression became tense at this moment. He looked at Leng Ming and asked with a cold face:

"You are required to supervise the imperial examination. How is your supervision going?"

Leng Yu immediately patted his chest and promised,

"Everything is normal. I went to the Ministry of Etiquette yesterday to inquire. There are about three hundred scholars who came to register for the exam this time. This is the most in history."

"I mean, will there be any fraud in this scientific examination?"

"No, absolutely not. Anyone who dares to do this under my nose will not want his life."

Seeing how confident he was, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan, then chuckled:

"Then have you gone to various teahouses or restaurants to investigate secretly? Since ancient times, fraud has occurred more or less in imperial examinations. Are you sure there is no such thing in this world?"

After his questioning, Leng Ming was stunned for a moment.

It is true that he did not investigate it personally, he only got the information from the officials below.

However, he still replied uneasily:

"Probably...probably not. I have issued an order a long time ago. If anyone dares to tamper with the imperial examination, I will take off his official hat and let him go to the Ministry of Punishment to be tried."

Seeing that Leng Ming was still steadfast in his vow despite Leng Yu's direct reminder, Luo Lan couldn't help but say:

"Leng Ming, you should go out incognito for a walk when you have time. The emperor and I went to the teahouse today, and what we heard was very different from what you said."

Leng Ming was most afraid of something happening at this critical moment. Luo Lan's words made him look at her in a panic.

"Sister-in-law, what's different? What did you see?"

Leng Yu slammed the table heavily and yelled angrily:

"We saw some people openly accepting money from candidates and telling the outside world that whoever pays more money will be on the list. They also said that the prince is going to take the scientific examination, and those who don't take money won't even be able to get into the list. These... Don’t you know anything about it?”

Leng Ming's face turned pale at this moment. He immediately stood up, cupped his fists at Leng Yu and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my brother will definitely investigate this matter early tomorrow morning."

Leng Yu waved his hand directly,

"By the time you go to investigate, the person has already run away. At Xu time tomorrow, take the officials with you and go straight to Shengde Tea House. Then you will know how false it is that you said there was no fraud."

Leng Ming was stunned for a moment. The emperor gave him such an important task as supervising the scientific examination. He thought everything was normal. If someone really dared to secretly collect money from the candidates, where would he put his face?

Thinking of this, he solemnly clasped his fists and replied,

"My brother understands that if such a thing really happens, I am willing to be punished."

Leng Yu frowned and stood up, waving to him.

"Well, on the way here, Lan'er has been pleading with you. I don't want to hold you responsible, but I want these candidates to understand that I will personally read each of their test papers, and there will be no such thing as a back door. Tomorrow I will bring all the Desheng Tea Houses to you, and I will give you the credit for this..."

Leaving these words behind, he put one hand behind his back and said to Luo Lan:

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Luo Lan nodded, turned around and said goodbye to Luo Xue, then followed him out of Prince Ming's Mansion.

They did not get into the carriage, but held hands and strolled down the street towards the capital.
