Give you a spring

According to Zhou Mu, there were leaks in the palace examinations in the past two years. A total of six examiners participated, including him. Every midnight, they would wait at the main entrance of the house. Open the door and hand out the test questions and answers.

"Didn't the patrolling people find it? There are also people there who belong to you?" Ping Wei grabbed the loophole and raised his eyes to ask.

"Yes...."

"Do you know who it is?"

"do not know."

"Are you only leaking your own questions, or are you stealing all the examiners' questions?"

"It's just the six of us," Zhou Mu said cautiously. He noticed that the expressions of the three people opposite him were not very good. The one who was vicious before was as cold as ever. His expression, his eyes seemed to be churning with murderous intent.Zhou Mu was very scared, and said carefully, "The six of us took turns waiting at the gate every day. When we heard the knock on the door, we opened a small gap and handed out the test questions. We won't see who is outside. .”

That being said, he didn't know how many of the patrolling soldiers were bribed by the First Prince, Qi Zheng thought to himself.

"Do you know who the student who bought your test papers was," Ping Wei asked again.

"I don't know," Zhou Mu said honestly, and then said after a while, "But I still remember how many examiners participated in cheating with me."

Ping tilted his head slightly, Lord Qi took out a pen and paper from his pocket, "Write it down."

Xu Shi's eyes from the three people opposite him were really sharp. Examiner Zhou made typos several times, his hands shook so badly, and the paper was written in a mess.Ping frowned slightly, "Write better."

"Yes..." Zhou Mu shrank his neck, now he found that the fifth prince was the most terrifying, took a deep breath, wrote the names of the other five people, and handed them over.

Ping Wei didn't answer, Qi Zheng took the paper over and asked, "Your Highness won't take a look?"

"No, if you are optimistic, you will take people to catch those people to the Yamen tonight." Ping Wei kept staring at Zhou Mu, "You didn't take part in the imperial examination this year, why?"

"An accident happened to Shi Qianlin, and the eldest prince knew that I had a very close relationship with his father, so he asked me to quit, and don't get involved in the palace examination, so as not to cause any trouble."

The culprit, Ping Wei sneered, Xie Shi and the others are now doing this kind of crap, isn't it also a scourge to those innocent candidates.

"Do you know who will replace you and join in?"

When Ping Wei asked this question, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he couldn't hear the other party say "no".

Zhou Mu swallowed, and after thinking for a while, he whispered, "I have someone in mind, but I'm not sure."

"Write to Qi Zheng."

"Yes...."

"By the way, I didn't ask you before. Since you were teaching in Langqiao at the beginning, how did you become an official in the court? How did you know Shi Zongxi?"

When he got the point, Zhou Mu lowered his eyes, as if he was considering whether to confess. After a while, he said, "After that incident, I left Langqiao. I originally wanted to go to Ningyao, which is also a small village. Continue to be a Private school teacher, but one day I happened to meet Shi Qianlin."

Shi Qianlin?Pingwei's eyelids twitched, and he immediately asked, "Why is he there?"

"We met in a workshop. Your Highness knows that I will... come to this kind of place every day. I happened to meet Mr. Shi that day."

Fifteen years ago, Shi Qianlin was just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and he actually stayed with an old beast like Zhou Mu, with a half-smiling smile on his face—is it really similar to each other?

Zhou Mu said, "I saw him there for several days in a row, and after chatting for a few words...became friends."

"And then he introduced you to his father?"

"Well... I told Lord Shi that I could help him with anything, and he recommended me to the eldest prince when he saw that I had good abilities." My lords study ink and serve tea and the like, because they are very good at winking and flattering, so they coaxed all the bachelors into a high spirits. After working for eleven or twelve years, they were promoted to bachelors, and finally became the examiners of the imperial examination.

Apart from his own ability to flatter and flatter, the Eldest Prince also contributed a lot, otherwise it would be impossible to get to the current high position by relying on a teacher from a poor place.

As Ping Wei listened, he felt a little more disgusted with Xie Shi in his heart. He looked at Qi Zheng beside him, "Is there anything Master Qi wants to ask?"

Qi Zheng asked Zhou Mu to write down the names of the suspicious examiners this year, and said to Ping Wei, "The officials will investigate these people."

"Well," Ping Wei replied, "The second prince said that he would enter the palace early and go to the Ministry of Rites to look for the list of officials who entered the palace in the past two years. If they come out, I will copy a copy and send it to the Yamen. How long does your lord expect? Can you find out these people on the paper?"

He was talking about the examiners of the palace examination in the past two years.

Qi Zheng thought for a while, "It may take two days at the earliest."

"It's a bit slow," Ping Wei said straightforwardly, "Can I ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice for help? Will it be faster with their intervention, or I will ask Xie Lianzheng to send some people over. His staff seem to be very capable."

What Ping Wei said seemed to be very familiar with Lian Zheng, and there was some urgent toughness in his tone.

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Yes."

"Then I'll tell him tomorrow morning, you check first," Ping Wei ordered and stood up, "Do you need me to help you send Zhou Mu back to the Yamen?"

"No need," Qi Zheng said in a daze, "There are two policemen waiting for me at the door."

"That's good, take Zhou Mu back."

"En," Qi Zheng stood up in response, wanting to arrest someone.However, He Zhou stopped him, went straight to Zhou Mu, raised his hand and hit him on the neck and shoulders——Qi Zheng watched the old bastard fall unconsciously on the ground, and was then crushed like a cargo. It seems to carry it.

"Aren't you going?"

He Zhou looked at him.

"Oh...Okay," Qi Zheng hurriedly walked to the front to open the door for him.

The arresters waiting at the door saw his lord coming out, and immediately went up to meet him. He Zhou threw him on the ground at random, Qi Zheng ordered the two arresters to carry him back to the Yamen, turned around and said to Ping Wei, "His Royal Highness, the officer will Go back and deal with the other five examiners."

"Well," Ping Wei watched them leave, and was about to turn around and say something to He Zhou when he was dragged into an alley next to him.

What's wrong?He looked up at each other.

He Zhou put his hands beside him, stared at him for a while, then put him in his arms with one hand, leaned on his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Don't be angry."

"Huh?" Ping Wei was stunned for a while, then laughed, "I'm not angry."

"You're just not angry with me," He Zhou said.

"..." The smile on Pingwei's face disappeared little by little, he lowered his eyelids, and after a long silence, he said, "Yes, I am very angry because of Zhao Wanwan's matter. We have been to that place in Langqiao , It’s a very good memory for us, I didn’t expect such a tragic thing to happen there.”

"I don't think I will forgive everyone who participated in this time," Ping Wei said softly, he rarely said such words, this time he was really irritated.

"Are you going to reverse the case for Zhao Wanwan? This happened 15 years ago. I don't know if those people are still in Langqiao." He Zhou said.

"Just go and have a look," Ping Wei said, "When this matter is over, we will go to Langqiao."

"Can I go? You have only just arrived in Linjing, and everything has just begun. How can there be a chance for you to go to Langqiao?"

"...Indeed," Ping Wei lowered his eyelids, "I know too few officials, I have to find a chance to get to know them."

"Acquaintance?" He Zhou heard it, smiled lightly, turned his head and kissed Ping Wei's ear, "After this incident, I'm afraid half of them will be dismissed, and it's too late for everyone to hide from you, why are you still willing to talk to me?" Are you on good terms?"

"Then I'll send a new batch of candidates in," Ping Wei said in a gentle voice without being affected by the cold water he poured on him, "The new batch of candidates is an opportunity, I have to get to know them and let them Help me with things. This time I rely on Xie Lianzheng everywhere in the cheating investigation. Fortunately, I cooperate with him, otherwise I don’t know how to repay the favor.”

"Well," He Zhou listened to him, kissing non-stop, from the ear all the way to Pingwei's lips, he bit the warm lips, and stretched his tongue in to sweep every inch of it.

Ping Wei was forced to raise her head to kiss him, her waist was hugged tightly, and she leaned against the cold wall without any struggle.

"I'm also very angry," He Zhou asked vaguely, "Just now in the brothel, those girls looked at you like this, I was very unhappy."

"I know," Ping Wei raised her hand and touched his sharp side face.

"I wanted to lose my temper at first, but later I saw that you were so angry because of Zhao Wanwan's matter, and I couldn't bear it, so I had to vent my anger on that Zhou Mu." He Zhou put his hand into his clothes, and said, "You said... ..am I being nice?"

"Ah."

"Don't be angry, that bastard is not worthy of you, you can only have such emotions towards me..."

Ping Wei seldom shows too intense emotions in front of outsiders. Although he acts vigorously and decisively, he is still very gentle and considerate in dealing with others. Today is really... Maybe he cheated in the imperial examination, which is very serious , plus one of the examiners had a record of raping a woman and forcing her whole family to jump into the river——I couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He Zhou touched Pingwei's waist, now he is outside, and it's a place like a brothel, he won't mess around, but he backed out after a while, touched Pingwei's face, and kissed him until he was bitten red lips.

Ping turned his head slightly, the other party kissed his slightly cool side face, he closed his eyes, "I see..."
