Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty continued the practices handed down from the Sui Dynasty.

After entering the Gongyuan, the candidates, together with the invigilators and the soldiers stationed on site, are not allowed to leave the Gongyuan.

You must wait until the exam is over and the exam papers have been sealed and handed over to Fengge Luantai before you can leave the exam room.

But for Fan Xin, there was nothing difficult about the Jinshi examination.

Because both the invigilator and the soldiers who were responsible for patrolling had opened up their plagiarism network.

While the candidates were racking their brains to answer the questions, an operation against imperial examination fraud was quietly launched...

"Quick, quick, quick! Rush in, surround the Governor's Mansion, no one can escape!"

Early in the morning, hundreds of internal guards wearing cloaks and holding swords rushed into the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion.

They surrounded the Lanzhou officials who were talking about the imperial examination.

Yang Feihong's face darkened, he stepped forward and yelled loudly.

"How dare you be rude to Governor Duan? Why don't you take your people and retreat immediately!"

"Prince Duan?" The inner guard sneered and slapped Yang Feihong on the face.

"Open your dog eyes and see, I am from the Inner Guards Mansion!"

"What, you are the inner guards!"

Hearing that the other party was an internal guard specializing in arresting officials, Yang Feihong was so frightened that his face turned pale.

The whole person collapsed on the ground, shivering.

After all, Duan Jishi was the official of Lanzhou's parents, so he had some determination and asked with a sullen face.

"So what if you are internal guards? Lanzhou is under my jurisdiction. Who told you to break into the Yamen without permission?"

"Prince Duan, do you really think that our internal guards are just for free?"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen Lanzhou officials were escorted into the lobby.

"See clearly, these are the people who bought an official position from you not long ago."

"The witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?"

"take away!"

With an order, dozens of internal guards swarmed in to escort the ashen-faced Governor Duan, while Yang Feihong walked towards the prison car.

Behind them, hundreds of officials hung their heads and had their hands tied.

Everywhere along the way, the people of Lanzhou applauded and cheered loudly.

It wasn't until they left Lanzhou City and headed towards the official road that the inner guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Catch corrupt officials like Yang Feihong, and we can finally explain to the chief minister."

Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Yeah, I thought it would be a lot of trouble to arrest the Lanzhou officials, but I didn't expect these corrupt officials to be so useless. Their legs would weaken as soon as they were frightened."

Another inner guard echoed with a smile.

At this time, a billowing smoke suddenly appeared in the distance, and thousands of heavily armed sergeants rushed towards them.

"Shut up!"

When he came near, the general commanding the troops suddenly tugged on the reins and glanced at Wang Hua.

"Did you arrest him?"

"Humph, of course we caught him. I would like to advise you to act as internal guards and stay away, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Wang Hua finally figured out that this group of unidentified troops came for the corrupt officials behind them.

"It's good that you caught him. Thank you for your hard work. Leave the prisoner to us."

Saying this and waving his hands, hundreds of sergeants walked toward the prisoners.

"Wait a minute!"

Wang Hua pulled out the knife, narrowed his eyes and said gloomily.

"What if I don't make friends?"

These people are the key witnesses to identify Cui Ti, and naturally he cannot hand them over easily.

"It's easy to handle without surrendering. Brothers are used to licking blood with the tip of a knife. They don't care about a few more lives."

The commander-in-chief chuckled lightly and said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, the inner guards all changed their expressions and pulled out the sabers from their waists.

They finally heard that the other party was planning to rob him.

Wang Hua was a smart man. Seeing that the opponent's force was several times his own, he weighed it in his mind and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's admit defeat today! Let's go!"

A few prison cars were left behind, and the guards shook their horses and ran towards the distance.

"Brother Zhao, these prisoners will be handed over to your Dali Temple. We must not disappoint His Highness King Yan's expectations."

Withdrawing his gaze from the inner guard, the general in charge looked at a young official.

"General Huo, don't worry. I will do my best to investigate the case and try to give the prince an explanation before returning to Luoyang."

The commander-in-chief nodded: "That's it, please!"

Then his eyes turned to Yang Feihong.

"I heard that you stole a piece of copper fish charm. How can such a precious thing be owned by a humble official like you?"

"Bring it to me!"

"Hey, hey, I'll give it to you right now. I hope the general spares my life."

After taking the copper fish charm, the general in charge looked up in the direction of Luoyang and murmured.

"I guess the big drama over there must be happening."

……

Prince Yan's Mansion.

A guard ran into the hall in panic.

"Your Highness Princess Qizhen, what's bad, our people have sent word that all Lanzhou officials have been captured by the internal guards!"

"What! Such a thing could happen?"

Princess Taiping stood up suddenly, her face extremely gloomy.

Everyone knows that the Lanzhou officials are her people, but now the inner guards have arrested them without saying a word, obviously for her.

Who is the one…

emperor?

Li Dan?

No! There is absolutely no way it could be them. There is only one person who has a close relationship with the Chief of the Interior Guard.

That is Li Longji, Minister of War!

Thinking of this, Princess Taiping turned pale and suddenly took a picture of the big case.

"Okay, okay! I didn't cause trouble for you, but you took the initiative to stir up trouble. Do you really think that I am a vegetarian?"

"Come here! Give it to me..."

"Wait!"

Dou Huaizhen stood up from the futon and said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please do not be angry. Although the internal guards have arrested Yang Feihong and others, they will not involve you."

"We must rush to protect Cui Ti before the internal defense. Only in this way can we have room for change."

Xiao Zhizhong on the side also said.

"Dou Xiangyan is right. Cui Ti knows that we have too many things to do. Once he falls into the hands of the inner guards, no one here can escape."

Faced with the analysis of the ministers, Princess Taiping took a deep breath and said coldly.

"General Huang, I order you to immediately lead the Jinwu Guards to blockade Gongyuan."

"Once the exam is over, arrest Cui Ti and student Yigan immediately!"

"I only obey His Highness's orders!" General Huang strode out of Prince Yan's Mansion with his fists in hand.

Not long after, the gate of the camp opened wide, and hundreds of golden-armored guards poured into the streets, driving away the crowd while running towards Gongyuan.

Looking at the Jinwu Guards rushing past, Zhou Tong sneered in the crowd.

"I didn't expect Princess Taiping to react very quickly, but it's a pity that she was a step later than us."

"Tell Zeng Tai that as soon as the exam is over, Cui Ti and Yi Gan will be arrested and brought to justice."

"I want to see how long Princess Taiping can remain arrogant and domineering."
