After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

It was completely dark.

Xiao Yuheng was about to return home when he saw the servants running towards him in a hurry.

"Your Highness, His Majesty, His Majesty summons you into the palace..." the servant said breathlessly.

Xiao Yuheng frowned.

"Why did you summon me?"

The servant shook his head. "The Royal Guards didn't say that."

Royal Guards...

It seems that Wang Zhou couldn't hold on any longer and has surrendered.

Humph, he knew he was unreliable.

It doesn’t matter. After all, Wang Zhou has no evidence and can’t do anything to him.

Xiao Yuheng felt relieved.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my chest.

It makes people feel vaguely uneasy.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuheng said, "Nanfeng, go to the government office and watch over those students. Don't let anything go wrong."

"If there is an accident, we will act accordingly."

Nan Feng's eyebrows tightened, "Yes!"

After Xiao Yuheng finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the palace.

At this time, in the Kyoto government office.

It was already dark, and the torches in the lobby were lit, the blazing flames making the entire hall exceptionally bright.

Ye Mingduo and the other four knelt on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.

Liu Jinfeng stood aside with a smug look on his face.

Now that the evidence is solid, he doesn't believe these five people can come up with anything more.

After the deed is done, he will be the great contributor to the exam question leak case. Not only will Lord Wang reward him, but the court may even exempt him from the exam and grant him an official position.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Liu Jinfeng looked up and said, "Sir, are you still not going to judge those who stole the title?"

The prefect looked at the students gathered outside with a headache.

The situation was too serious for him, a prefect, to make any decision and could only wait for the emperor's order.

"Dear students, it is getting late. You have worked hard for three days of exams. Go back and rest first." The prefect advised.

When they heard that they were going to leave, the students outside were unhappy.

"Why are you sending us away?"

"Yes, these people clearly stole the questions, why aren't they being punished?"

"That's it!"

Liu Jinfeng sneered, "Sir, you don't want to protect these people, right? Now there are witnesses and evidence!"

Upon hearing this, the students started to make a fuss.

"How can they do that? They are thieves who stole the questions! They are thieves!"

"Is this fair to us?!"

"Could it be that someone has bribed you with money? You bastard official!"

"Dog officer! Dog officer!"

"Snapped!"

The prefect slammed the gavel and the whole room fell silent.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a casual voice.

"Just now this student said that there are both human and physical evidence. May I ask what are human and physical evidence?"

Jiang Ci Jin pushed through the crowd and walked over slowly.

Liu Jinfeng looked at him with disdain.

This guy looks like a playboy. Why is he here causing trouble?

He snorted coldly, "The matter is obvious, do I need to tell you?"

"Oh, I see." Jiang Cijin said frivolously, "The so-called physical evidence you mentioned is those test papers that were found, and the witness is you?"

Asking questions knowingly!

Liu Jinfeng rolled his eyes.

When the prefect saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Young Master Jiang, what brings you here?"

Jiang Cijin returned the greeting, "Don't blame me, sir. Just think of it as a junior seeing injustice."

Mr. Jiang?

The third young master of the Jiang family in the Zhenguo Mansion?

Good, they are here to rescue Liu Mingduo.

Liu Jinfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, you have all the evidence, but you don't care. So many eyes are watching you. What is your intention?"

Jiang Cijin curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, you said you are a witness, did you see them buy or steal the questions?"

Liu Jinfeng sneered, "I don't know how they bought or stole the test papers, but I saw with my own eyes that the test paper fell out of Liu Mingduo's clothes."

"If that's the case, it doesn't prove that he was the one who bought the questions? You live in the same room with him, and I still said that you bought the questions and put the blame on him!" Jiang Ci Jin said with a smile.

"You! You're being unreasonable!" Liu Jinfeng said angrily, "I think you just want to protect your relative and absolve him of his guilt!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the venue.

"My relatives? Who are my relatives? How come I don't know?" Jiang Ci Jin pretended to be confused.

"Stop pretending, it's Ye Mingduo!"

Hearing his name, Ye Mingduo looked up at Jiang Cijin.

The two of them met eyes, and Jiang Cijin said, "Young Master, do I know you?"

Ye Mingduo shook his head frantically.

There is no such relative in his family, he is so unscrupulous.

Jiang Cijin even exaggeratedly said: "I just saw injustice and drew my sword to help. How can you, a student, make random accusations? The prefect should understand!"

The prefect watched him act funny but just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Jinfeng was so angry at his rogue look that he got a headache.

Jiang Ci Jin looked at the students who were watching.

"You keep saying that these people bought the questions, but from the looks of their clothes, I think he is the only one who has some money." As he said that, he pointed at Ye Mingduo.

Everyone looked at the five people kneeling on the ground.

Except for Ye Mingduo who was wearing more gorgeous clothes, the other four were wearing coarse cotton jackets worn by ordinary people, and they did not look rich at all.

At this time, a student whispered: "Brother Wei and I live in the same room. He is very frugal on weekdays. He only eats vegetables and steamed buns for meals, and is reluctant to eat meat and vegetables."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other three roommates also stood up and spoke.

"Yes, yes, although Brother He drinks a little wine, he always drinks the cheapest ones."

"Brother Bao is the same. He has always been very frugal."

As soon as these people started talking, the students realized something was wrong.

How could such a frugal person have so much money to buy questions?

Liu Jinfeng saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and he quickly spoke up, "Don't be misled by him! Their fathers are all former subordinates of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the questions were given to them by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

"How do you know what their relationship is with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?!" Jiang Ci Jin asked sharply.

"I...I..." Liu Jinfeng panicked.

Jiang Cijin put away the smile on his face and said to the prefect, "Sir, I just received news that the papers found in the residence of the four poor students do not contain the test questions for this year's imperial examination."

"Impossible! I clearly put that test question in there myself!" Liu Jinfeng said hurriedly.

"What did you say?!" The prefect looked at Liu Jinfeng.

"My Lord, I..."

Realizing what he had said, Liu Jinfeng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

When he saw Jiang Cijin's expression of "as expected", he understood instantly.

"Are you kidding me?!" Liu Jinfeng screamed, his voice breaking.

"Come here, take him down!" the prefect shouted.

Two constables stepped forward quickly and pushed Liu Jinfeng to the ground.

The situation before them left all the students confused.

Liu Jinfeng's face was pressed to the ground, and he cried out loudly: "Sir, I am innocent! I am innocent..."

"Sir!" A constable rushed into the lobby.

"A woman was beating a drum outside the door to complain, saying that she wanted to sue the Third Prince for instigating others to steal the exam questions, disrupting the exam, and deceiving the emperor!"
