Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

There are rumors that candidates and examiners of this year's imperial examination are suspected of cheating for personal gain, and there is a lot of trouble in the capital city and the city.The Jingzhao Mansion has not yet found out the truth, and deliberately suppressed the spread of rumors. It did not want to suffer a backlash from many literati and students of the Jin Dynasty. Some sensitive people even thought that the Jingzhao Mansion had been bought, and deliberately did not report it, burying the saints.

Hearing so many rumors, Yin Jingzhao felt miserable in his heart. He intended to visit Liang Liyuan, the chief examiner, Wenyuange University scholar, but was stopped by the Supervision Department and told the adults who are currently grading papers not to be grading papers. Meeting anyone before the end, if it is discovered that the private meeting is found, will be convicted of fraud and beheaded according to the laws of the Jin Dynasty.

Sighing and returning to Jingzhao Mansion, the Lord Fu Yin came to Ya Nei and asked with a frowning face, "Are those scholars still unwilling to say anything?"

Ya Nei also said with a bitter face: "My lord, the brothers in Ya Nei have used all kinds of methods, but those people killed them and said that the two scholars deliberately framed them."

Fu Yin touched the emerald ring on his thumb anxiously, and asked again: "What did the two scholars say again, and what clues did they provide?"

Ya Nei first frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and said: "Actually, there are no clues at all. I said that I didn't get more things from the scholar who was framed and hanged himself, but according to his classmates, On the night when the scholar was framed by hanging himself, there was indeed a strange movement in the inn at night. We brothers went back to the inn, and the innkeeper said that the nearby wild cats often jumped on the roof and ran around after dark, but we climbed on the roof afterwards. , but right above the guest room where the hanged scholar lived, he found a drug hole and some drug powder that had been inadvertently left behind."

Fu Yin said: "Oh?"

Ya Nei continued: "The murdered scholar came from a county attached to the city of Yuzhou. He was an only son from an ordinary family. According to our investigation, this man has always been modest and polite, with a gentle personality. He came to Beijing for only a short month. My classmate Liu Juren studied Lunxue together, and spent the rest of the time studying alone in the guest room, and did not offend anyone."

Fu Yin also said: "Since he is able to climb buildings and step on tiles, he must not be an ordinary person. Do you think there is any suspicious person in the group of scholars who can use martial arts?"

Ya Nei shook his head: "I've tried them one by one, but I'm just a group of weak scholars."

Fu Yin couldn't help sighing: "If that's the case, the clues will be broken again... In this way, you will send the drug powder you found to the Imperial Hospital for inspection to see if you can find anything."

The yamen nodded, and said falteringly: "My lord, since the government can't find anything now, even the murderer who framed the scholar and pretended to hang himself is not among the group of scholars, so why don't we lock up the group of scholars? When he said this, he paused, "Look, my lord, do we have to let them go temporarily?"

According to the experience of solving cases for many years, Fu Yin thought that there must be tricks in this incident, what's more, after the truth is found out, it may be involved in a lot... He has a lot of worries in his heart. It was necessary to go on, but finally he knew that he was powerless and said: "If you can't find anything after seven days of detention, then let everyone go."

Ya Nei: "Yes."

Outsiders don't know the conversation between the governor of Jingzhao Mansion and the yamen. They only know that someone with a heart is fishing in troubled waters. They brought some students and scholars who don't know the world and cried for three days in the Confucian Temple. The whole capital is full of rumors about cheating in scientific examinations, and the chaos in Beijing is getting worse. However, some people laughed more and more at the stupidity of this group of students. After the group of scholars who had been detained for seven days were released without charge from the Yamen, some people immediately stood up and told the students about their backgrounds, knowledge, and reputation in their hometown. Let’s talk about it all——

Only then did the common people find out, ah, these scholars are all such outstanding and talented people, saying they will try to cheat?Can't it?According to other people's level, it's only fake if you don't win? !

As for Liu Juren, who reported to the government, and the scholar who threatened to be framed and hang himself, hey, one is a rich young master from the silk and satin village. I was still a little Sanyuan before, but it seems that I was hurt Zhongyong, and I passed the provincial examination before passing the Juren...

In this comparison, the steelyard in the hearts of the people in Kyoto unknowingly tilted towards the group of scholars who were imprisoned by the Jingzhao Mansion for seven days, and they were particularly pitiful.

……

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!" Now that Liu Juren heard the news that was spreading in Beijing, his expression was quite upset, and Ding Sheng, the classmate who was framed and hanged himself, complained, "If you don't know the inside story, you can talk more and more nonsense. Min! Even if I didn’t pass the exam last time, what’s the matter? How many candidates are stuck in the exam, and they will never be younger for life. If I fail the exam once, it means that I will never pass the exam in my life?!”

"Brother Liu, don't be angry. The current situation is pressing...With no evidence or evidence, we really can't explain it." Ding Sheng's neck injury has healed more than half. Their attitude was not bad, and they even invited a doctor to heal his wound.

"Hmph, I saw the complacent faces of those people, and I didn't get angry at all!" Liu Juren is also an upright and innocent person. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but so far in Jing Zhao Yin He walked through the back prison once, but became a grasshopper on the same rope with Ding Sheng, and now he and Ding Sheng are fighting against each other, and said angrily, "It's better for them not to show any tricks before the rankings are released, so I can catch them." Go!"

Ding Sheng shook his head.

Liu Juren was puzzled: "What?"

"Brother Liu said it's very difficult for them to show their feet." Ding Sheng looked calm, but he was calmer than Liu Juren, "After all, cheating in scientific examinations is a serious crime. Once they admit it, not only will they themselves be punished, but it will also harm others. Family, it's not too strange that the yamen servants can't ask anything about them..."

However, it was already an accident that Ding Sheng overheard someone leaking his words before, and the people behind the scenes would never let this accident happen a second time.

Liu Juren had a bitter face, and sat down on the chair with a slumped face: "Then what should I do, can I just bear it and watch them scold me and spit at me for nothing, saying that those people who are jealous of me are crazy with jealousy? Bai suffers the injustice of being framed and hanged himself and can't get justice?"

Ding Sheng lowered his eyes and said, "Brother Liu, you and I can only bear it now."

There are ups and downs in Beijing, but most of them can't get into Prince Jing's mansion. Most of Bai Guo knows little about the outside world, and the wind direction changes and there is no certainty, so it's hard to talk about it for a while.Xie Lin didn't like to let him waste his mind on external affairs, and was even more worried that there was only one month left before the due date of the doctor's said, so he asked people to invite the most stable midwife in Beijing to live with the midwife at the mansion, on standby at any time.

In Jingzhao Mansion, the murderer who investigated the murder of Ding Sheng's suicide still couldn't find clues and clues. Jingzhao Mansion Yin fell into unprecedented troubles, and even the yamen servants under him were not very happy.

"I heard that when His Royal Highness King Jing was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he was very good at interrogating and investigating cases. Although his reputation is not good, once King Jing handles the investigation of the case, he can always find out the truth very quickly." After this movement, the yatou finally couldn't help but said, "Look, my lord, His Royal Highness King Jing is idle at the mansion right now, so can we ask His Highness to come out of the mountain and help..."

The governor of Jingzhao interrupted him: "Do you think that His Highness is the one who invites me whenever I want, and invites whenever I want?"

Yatou said: "If you don't try it, how will you know that you can't invite me?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin was so annoying that he was going to die, he waved him away, "Go, go! Don't bother me!"

It is afternoon.

Yin of Jingzhao Mansion hugged his regular clothes tightly, and he and Yatou stood on the East Street, looking at each other silently.

"Go and knock on the door later, do you remember what you said?" Jing Zhaofu Yin coughed and asked.

Yatou patted his chest and said, "Hey, my lord, don't worry, I will leave everything to the little one."

Jingzhao Fuyin nodded in satisfaction.

Ever since Emperor Jinyuan regained his enthusiasm for the crown prince and intentionally ignored the remaining sons, several royal residences have been neglected and few guests came to visit them. The concierge, who had been lazy for half a month, was very surprised.

It's a pity that Jingzhao Mansion Yin came at an inappropriate time, this hour was the time when their lord and concubine had a lunch break, unless someone from the palace came, otherwise His Highness ordered, no matter who or what, don't disturb.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin has also heard many rumors that Prince Jing loved Concubine Jing very much after his marriage, but the rumors are rumors after all. Only then did he suddenly realize that the rumors were not only true, they might even be more serious? !

How can it be!

Although King Jing was born with a bright and beautiful face, even with such a good appearance, he could not conceal the fact that he was violent, suspicious, sinister, cunning, and bloodthirsty. Even His Majesty the Emperor himself said that It was stamped that the third son was extremely violent!

Eh, or...

Could it be said that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is now a new man for love? !

Jingzhao Mansion Yin thought so, and the yatou over there had already talked with Wang Youquan, the steward of the palace who came slowly, with a smile.

"If the two adults don't mind, please go to the front hall to drink tea and wait a little longer?" Wang Youquan looked up at the time of the sun, with a gentle smile on his round and generous face, "I guess, the princess is about to leave at this time." It's about to wake up."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

The two of them waited in Prince Jing's Mansion for about half an hour. After drinking without a cup of hot tea, the owner of the Palace, who thought it would take a long time to show up, appeared in the front hall. He supported a tall and straight man The young man, with a slight smile on his face, whispered something to the young man.

"It's okay...well, I'm not sleepy anymore." The young man's eyes were slightly tired, as if he hadn't slept well, he covered his lips and yawned a little while speaking, and quickly fainted under his eyelashes. wetness.

Xie Lin rubbed his temples for him, and said in a low voice: "I'll finish speaking soon, and I'll sleep with you later."

The two masters of the palace joined hands to sit at the main seat, even Jing Zhaoyin, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, could not erase the surprise in his eyes.He subconsciously set his eyes on the loose waist of the young man, and saw the unnaturally raised abdomen of the other party. For some reason, he averted his eyes in a little embarrassment, and his eyes were on the Jing Wang Xie Lin who was looking at him meaningfully.

Jingzhao Fuyin subconsciously——

I'm not, I'm not, Your Highness Jing Wang, don't think too much!

Probably because the sudden embarrassment came too quickly, he picked up the teacup and covered his face and drank it in one gulp.The scalding hot tea that had just been added flowed down his throat. Yin Jingzhao froze for a moment or two, his whole face flushed instantly, his fingers tremblingly covered his mouth, and he spit out the tea in one gulp!

The yatou who was sitting next to him turned pale with shock: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you choking?" Bai Guo, who was yawning sleepily, opened her eyes slightly, and the drowsy bug was completely driven away. She hurriedly called the maid next to her to come forward, change the cold water, and slapped Mr. Jingzhao on the back.

Jingzhao Fuyin coughed in pain, and waved his hands with difficulty: "No, it's okay..."

When he calmed down, it was already a quarter of an hour later, his throat was sore, and he was almost speechless.

"Sir, do you want to change your clothes first?" Bai Guo pointed to his wet robe, "There is a resident doctor in the mansion, if your lord needs it, I will call someone to show you?"

Yin Qiang of Jingzhao Mansion held his face and didn't want to think about it, but he was ashamed, and the Yatou kept winking at him.Unwilling to be reconciled, Jingzhao Mansion Yin followed Wang Youquan to the guest room with a sad face, changed his clothes first, and then looked at his throat.

On the way there, the governor of Jingzhao left Jing Wang Xie Lin's sight, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.He didn't have much contact with this notorious violent prince in the past, but when he saw him up close today, he felt very deeply.

King Jing has a terrifying aura. When he is not moving like a mountain, he looks like a towering mountain when he looks at him. The pressure is calm and majestic, but if he looks at you, he will fall into the ice and snow. Limbs were numb and stiff, unable to move.

Tsk tut sighed in his heart, Jingzhao Mansion Yin felt that the young man who should be Princess Jing was also full of legends - he was not afraid of King Jing's aura and coercion, but he could still be the master of the other party.

Starting from his own embarrassment, it was Princess Jing who ordered his servants to take care of him, but Prince Jing did not say a word. act...

It's amazing, Princess Jing is really amazing.

The governor of Jingzhao thought so, and Wang Youquan, who sent him all the way to the guest room, said with a smile, "My lord, we're here."

Jingzhao Mansion Yin Ru woke up from a dream: "Oh! Oh!"

……

"I don't know why the two adults from Jingzhao Mansion are here?"

After Jingzhao Mansion Yin left, the yatou of Jingzhao Mansion, who seemed more reliable than his boss, finally got questioned by His Royal Highness King Jing.

Yatou stood up, bowed to Xie Lin and Bai Guo, bowed and said: "In fact, there is something in the house that I ask His Highness..."

Xie Lin handed Bai Guo a cup of fruit tea, watched him drink it slowly, turned his head to look at the Yatou, and said indifferently: "This king has never had much contact with Jingzhao Mansion. My king."

Yatou is a martial artist with a straight temper, he does not want to play Tai Chi with Xie Lin, he said bluntly: "Recently there have been rumors in Beijing that a group of scholars were involved with officials and cheated in the examination room, I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it. "

"I heard someone say a few words." Xie Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he said casually, "Could it be that the Jingzhao Mansion hasn't found out yet?"

Yatou smiled wryly: "The cause of this case is that a scholar was framed by gangsters and faked that he hanged himself. On the other day, I accidentally heard the cheating in the examination leaked by some scholars, and it was so implicated that there were follow-up rumors in Beijing."

Xie Lin showed a look of surprise at the right time, and asked, "What happened after that?"

Yatou confessed honestly: "The government has not been able to find any clues about the cheating of the group of candidates, and several suspected candidates have never confessed. We have no way."

Xie Lin nodded: "No."

Seeing that King Jing was not in high spirits, the yatou couldn't help saying: "This time, my lord and I actually wanted to ask His Highness for help! The thief who framed the scholar named Ding was very careful in committing the crime, except for the maze left on the roof. Medicine powder, we really can't find anything else... I also heard that His Highness was always fascinated by solving cases when he was on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, so I came here rashly!"

"Since the perpetrator is cautious, and can erase all clues that can be found out by the Jingzhao Mansion without anyone noticing, the person who wants to commit the crime, or the person behind the crime must have an extraordinary identity." Xie Lin expressed his expression With a cold and mocking smile, he suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid that the one who committed the crime is the king?"

Yatou never expected that King Jing would speak like this, and was blocked for a while.

"Hmm..." At this moment, Bai Guo finally drank the fruit tea in the cup slowly, raised his face and looked at Xie Lin seriously, and said with some displeasure, "Your Highness is talking nonsense again, you are an upright person, How could you do those villainous acts? Besides, what does it have to do with you? What's the benefit of helping those scholars cheat?"

Everyone in civil and military circles in the court knew that King Jing was a murderous person, once provoked, he would end up dead without a whole body.The generals were afraid of him, but the civil servants hated and rushed him. While afraid of him, they spared no effort to criticize and belittle him in the court and the opposition. Take the eunuchs as an example, if there are no seven or eight memorials to the court a day, it may be possible. It was the sun that came out from the west.

So, what is the use of cheating in the Xie Linbang Examination?Cultivate one's influence in the ruling and opposition parties, starting from the lowest level of civil servants?

Do not make jokes.

Not to mention how many years it takes for a court official with the right to speak to climb up to a suitable position, but to say that the examination is held every three years, and most of them are eliminated in the officialdom where the waves wash the sand, and they can only be in the seventh-rank position for the rest of their lives. petty officer.

The risk of investment is not directly proportional to the rewards received, Jing Wang is afraid that he will do this if he is crazy!

With one word to wake up the dreamer, the Yatou looked at Bai Guo with admiration, and then puffed up, flattering Xie Lin against his will: "Ashamed, ashamed! His Royal Highness King Jing is a high-spirited man, I believe His Highness will not be contaminated by these bad things." Dirty things!"

Bai Guo nodded in satisfaction: "Yes!"

A helpless and faint smile flashed across Xie Lin's eyes.He touched the back of Bai Guo's hand and felt it was cold, so he held it in his hand and said to Yatou: "I know about the Jingzhao Mansion. Although I am very relieved that my lord trusts me, the current situation Forced, it is really inconvenient for me to come forward."

Yatou was a little anxious: "Your Highness, think about it again? If this case is cleared up, it will be a great achievement in front of the Holy One!"

Xie Lin shook his head, his eyes were deep, he seemed to hesitate for a while, and then slowly said: "Although it is inconvenient for me to come forward, I have someone to introduce, maybe I can help Jingzhao Mansion."

Yatou: "My lord, please tell me quickly."

Xie Lin said slowly: "This man's surname is Peng. He is a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He has superb skills in solving cases, but he offended the Shang Dynasty because his temper is too strong and he can't be seen dirty. Therefore, he has not been promoted all the year round. You go If the Ministry of Punishment inquires, you will be able to meet the person."

Hearing this, Yatou's eyes turned cold: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

At this time, Yin Jingzhao, who had changed his clothes and pasted an unknown plaster on his throat, returned to the front hall with a bitter expression on his face. He said with his hoarse throat after being burned: "But His Royal Highness Jing Wang is willing to help Jingzhao Mansion solve the case?"

The rough and hoarse voice, like an old broken bellows, caused goosebumps to appear on people's skin, the Yatou trembled all over, looked back at his own adults and said: "My lord, although His Highness did not respond, he introduced us to someone Use it."

The governor of Jingzhao asked, "Who is it?"

Yatou replied: "It's a junior official of the Ministry of Punishment, whose surname is Peng."

Yin Jingzhao's expression changed: "It's him?"

Bai Guo looked curiously at Yin Jingzhao's tone, and couldn't help asking, "Are you acquainted with Mr. Xiao Peng?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin bowed to Bai Guo, and then said in a hoarse voice: "The old acquaintance is true, but if His Highness hadn't mentioned it, I would have never thought it would be him..."

Bai Guo was puzzled: "What?"

Yin Jingzhao gave an embarrassed smile, sighed and shook his head, but did not answer.

And when the two of them left the palace, Bai Guo still couldn't suppress his curiosity about the little official surnamed Peng. It was inconvenient for Jingzhao Mansion Yin to say, so he naturally didn't continue to ask, but as soon as he left, he pulled Xie Lin's hand Sleeves, and asked what was going on.

Xie Lin was sitting on the couch, holding a volume of books in his hand, half-embracing him in his arms, and said slowly: "It's just a squabble in the officialdom."

Bai Guo was bored, she was full of energy at the moment, she was not drowsy at all, she just raised her head and kissed Xie Lin's chin with a smile, and said: "Your Highness, please tell me carefully, I love to listen."

Xie Lin had no choice but to pinch Ginkgo's mischievous fingertips, and said in a slow voice: "The servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yin Nai of Jingzhao Mansion are classmates, and they used to be family friends. Peng Zhiqing just joined the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the clues to the case he took over led to the final suspect. It happened to be the brother-in-law of the servant of the Criminal Ministry. The case is not a big one, but if it is found out, the perpetrator will be imprisoned in the prison for three years according to the laws of the Jin Dynasty."

Bai Guo is smart, so he said: "The Lord Xiao Peng mentioned by His Highness should be a stern and unselfish person. I think the one who will offend this Lord later will be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xie Lin smiled and kissed his ear, and said: "My concubine is very intelligent, Peng Zhiqing did offend the servant of the criminal department, although in that case, Peng Zhiqing was promoted from the sixth-rank chief to the fifth-rank officer Wai Lang, but in the next few years, under the deliberate suppression of the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Peng Zhiqing was never promoted to an official position again."

Bai Guo sighed, and muttered: "Your Excellency Xiao Peng did nothing wrong, it's because the servant of the criminal department is not good..." But he muttered back to muttering, even in a small backyard, there were too many pickle incidents to count, Not to mention in the ups and downs of the officialdom, it would be a good thing for Mr. Peng not to be promoted, but it would be even worse if he lost his official position because of this.

But Bai Guo was puzzled again: "Although the servant of the Ministry of Punishment and Mr. Yin of Jingzhao Mansion are family friends, Mr. Peng is only a fifth-rank official. How did Mr. Yin of Jingzhao Mansion meet Mr. Xiao Peng and show such regretful expression?" What about the expression?"

Xie Lindao: "Because Peng Zhiqing was a member of the Jingzhao Mansion before joining the Ministry of Punishment, and it was the governor of the Jingzhao Mansion who recommended him to the Ministry of Punishment."

Bai Guo opened his eyes wide: "It turned out to be like this!"

Needless to say, Xie Linduo, Bai Guo has roughly thought of the mental journey of Jingzhao Fu Yin: he kindly introduced an excellent subordinate to a good brother, but he did not expect that the subordinate's first case would be found on the head of the good brother's wife and brother, offending others Not to mention, in order to maintain the relationship with my brothers, I have to ignore the love and cultivation of my once excellent subordinates.

...Although it is human nature, but Bai Guo inexplicably doesn't like such things very much.

Seeing his tangled expression, Xie Lin couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch his cheeks, and casually changed the subject: "I heard from Wang Youquan that the business of the silk and satin village and the restaurant were exceptionally good last month? What's going on?"

Bai Guo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, pursed her lips slightly and said, "I heard from the housekeeper that every time the test is about to come, many scholars will flock to the capital, and many times the rooms in the restaurant are full and there are not enough rooms, so I thought of it..." Bai Guo blushed and said a lot, and finally said embarrassedly, "It's also fortunate that the shopkeepers accompanied me to make trouble, it's all thanks to everyone."

Xie Lin laughed, hugged the soft body of the young man in his arms and asked: "Guo is really amazing, um, what reward do you want?"

Bai Guo blinked, pursed her lips and said, "Yes, just ask His Highness to kiss me twice more."

……

Although it was autumn, there was a sense of spring in Prince Jing's mansion, while Jingzhao's mansion, which was a few miles away from him, was full of melancholy and withered air.

"How can I have the face to invite him again?" Yin Jingzhao vomited to his subordinates with guilt, "I was sorry for him back then, and I didn't say a few words for him. I haven't seen him for a few years. I still I thought he couldn't bear to resign and left, but I didn't expect..."

The yatou and a few yamen servants stood in front of the Fu Yin with a dull face, and their expressions were rather embarrassing: "I thought my lord was just and strict, but I didn't expect to be so stupid in the past?! Peng Yuanwailang is miserable!"

Yin of Jingzhao Mansion said: "You don't want to talk about me anymore! Be careful of my lord's board!"

The yamen servants were not very afraid at all.

They circled around and said a few more words, embarrassing Jingzhaofu Yin, and then Yatou said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to come forward in person, for the matter of Peng Yuanwailang, let's invite him."

The yamen servants also said: "The adults all say that Peng Yuanwailang is just, upright and not attached to the powerful. Now there is an unjust case, if Peng Yuanwailang knows about it, he will definitely not sit idly by."

Jingzhao Fuyin nodded and sighed: "You are right."

When people from the Jingzhao Mansion approached Peng Zhiqing, he was hand-copying case files ten years ago in the headquarters of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He had already copied about a dozen volumes at hand, while there were more than a hundred unfinished copies on the other side. book.This was a task assigned to him by the Ministry of Punishment, and he had to finish transcribing it within a month.

For the few yamen servants who came to invite people, their faces turned dark when they heard about this task. They copied these hundreds of case files by themselves, and they had to be good at every word. It was only limited to one month. ?But they saw that Peng Zhiqing's face was not gloomy, and he even looked relaxed. He was focused and serious when copying, and he didn't seem to regard this task as a disguised torture.

After observing for a while, several yamen servants stepped forward to negotiate with Peng Zhiqing. Peng Zhiqing heard that someone from Jingzhao Mansion had come to ask him to help solve the case, so he couldn't help laughing and asked, "How is Mr. Fu Yin?"

The yamen servants were afraid that he was still resenting their lord, so they said: "Master Fu Yin is miserable!"

"Extremely miserable!"

"It's unbelievably miserable!"

After roughly describing all the misfortunes that Jingzhaofu Yin encountered recently, the yamen servant said: "This is all retribution!"

After Peng Zhiqing heard this, he couldn't help covering his waist and burst into a muffled laugh, and said while laughing: "It's amazing, I didn't expect Mr. Fuyin to have such a bad luck."

The yamen servant said: "Isn't it? You have heard, Mr. Peng, that our Jingzhao Mansion really lacks a case-solving expert like you to support the situation. Mr. Fuyin... He, he is not reliable at all recently!"

Peng Zhiqing heard that these people wanted to promote himself and not lose their face, so he quickly put a smile on his face and said, "Yes, yes, I agree, but you have to go and tell the supervisor for me, if he doesn't Agree, I can't act without authorization."

Seeing this, the yamen servant happily said, "No problem."

Because it was the important person from the Jingzhao Mansion, the yamen servants went directly to see the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. The Lord Shangshu didn't know the following messy things, so he quickly approved the documents for Peng Zhiqing, and even relieved him of the task of copying the files. .

Peng Zhiqing was so happy that he returned to Jingzhao Mansion with the yamen servants that day.

Jingzhaofu Yin didn't expect him to come so fast, he was sitting in the main hall, grinning his teeth and applying plaster, when he saw someone in a daze, his heart skipped a beat, and he put the plaster on his chin disobediently.

Governor of Jingzhao: "..."

……

"I just said that our lord has been miserable recently, right? Look at Mr. Peng, even if he applies ointment, he can get it on the wrong place. It's really unlucky."

Said gloatingly to the yamen servant beside Peng Zhiqing.

Peng Zhiqing: "Pfft."

Governor of Jingzhao: "!!!"

When the old acquaintance met, Peng Zhiqing smiled and bowed to the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion. The Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion saw that he was wearing a washed and white official uniform, and felt strange, so he quickly dismissed him. , coughed lightly, and said in his broken gong-like voice: "The case is complicated, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Peng Zhiqing glanced at him, smiled and said, "It should."

The two of them didn't talk much about the old days, and they didn't mention anything about the Minister of Criminal Affairs. Peng Zhiqing was professional in solving the case, so he asked someone to read the facts recorded in Ding Sheng's case for a closer look.

Yatou returned to Jingzhao Mansion very late, and finally found out the source of the drug powder used by the murderer who framed Ding Sheng.

"The drug is very special." The yatou said in a deep voice, "The several imperial physicians who asked for advice identified it repeatedly, only to realize that the powder is not a drug, but a sleep aid ingredient that often appears in the incense of the nobles in the palace. It is used in small doses to help sleep, but the powder has obviously been purified, and its efficacy has been greatly increased, making it a kind of drug."

Peng Zhiqing looked at the dossier without raising his head and said: "The incense in the palace is specially made and will not be passed on to the people. There is also a fixed number of incense consumption in each palace every month. Record."

Yatou met Peng Zhiqing for the first time, saw his expression was calm, and couldn't help asking him: "You mean, we want to investigate at the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Peng Zhiqing shook his head: "No, I see that you said that the real murderer behind the scenes has always been cautious, plus he can get special incense for the palace, so his identity and background are not simple, just look at the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Get the answers you want."

Yatou frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Hearing this, Peng Zhiqing closed the file and said, "Since there are no clues, let's wait and see."

"Huh?" Yatou was puzzled.

Peng Zhiqing thought that the group of people in Jingzhao Mansion were full of warriors, so he couldn't help but patiently said: "If Ding Sheng hadn't lied, the cheating in the scientific examination must be true, and the person who ordered his murder must be the mastermind behind it. You think Thinking, what kind of person would take such a risk and dare to associate with a scholar at the feet of the emperor, and do such a daring thing?"

"It must be someone with a plan!" Hearing this, the yatou suddenly remembered what happened at King Jing's mansion during the day, and slapped his head and said, "It's like His Royal Highness King Jing. , both civil servants and military officials are rejected by both sides, so it is simply thankless for things like doing favoritism for others in the imperial examination! On the contrary, His Royal Highness King Yu, who is praised by ministers in the government and the opposition, is like Probably……"

He got stuck in the middle of speaking, looked at Peng Zhiqing's meaningful eyes, and suddenly didn't dare to continue talking.

Smiling awkwardly, Yatou lowered his voice and explained: "I, I am talking nonsense! Mr. Peng, don't say it!"

Peng Zhiqing glanced at him and said, "You're sleepy, you'd better go home and sleep."

Although it was just a casual remark, Yatou seemed to have taken root in his heart, and felt more and more suspicious of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.But he just analyzed it for nothing, made associations for nothing, not only had no evidence, even he felt like he was talking nonsense——

His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a virtuous king!How could he do that kind of thing on purpose? !

But it is precisely because he is a virtuous king that he needs to cultivate his contacts among civil servants!Don't look at those new officials who have just entered the Hanlin or go to the county to be county magistrates, but once they get entangled with Shangshu, won't they all become the contacts of King Yu?You must know that those civil servants are nothing but fools. If their subordinates kept whispering in their ears, wouldn't they all fall to the wise and wise King Yu? !

... No, no, no, this must be me judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!King Yu is a gentleman!Gentleman!

The yamen's mind was muddled for a few days, and Yin's voice had recovered to [-]% to [-]% in Jingzhao Mansion, and the examination results were about to be posted and announced.

Peng Zhiqing asked: "Would you like to watch the list release tomorrow?"

Before the yatou and Jingzhao Fuyin spoke, Peng Zhiqing said again: "Your Excellency, it is better not to join in the fun, and the adults can go to pick up the dossiers as soon as the officials who will release the list tomorrow leave from the Gongyuan, otherwise it will be one night, and they will be taken away." Whether the dossier received is true or false, but it is unknown again.”

Jingzhao Fuyin was shocked: "You mean, they will tamper with the file?"

Peng Zhiqing said calmly: "This is a good idea. What if...they have moved the file after the scientific examination?"

The governor of Jingzhao didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the inspector has been watching by the side all the time, no matter how bad it is... His Royal Highness is still here."

Peng Zhiqing smiled, sighed and said, "This time, I'm afraid I want to thank His Royal Highness for still being here."

In a blink of an eye, the second day is the day when the rankings are released.

In the few restaurants directly opposite the grades posted, many scholars had already booked their seats, and they just watched the grades for the first time.

In the private room with the best view, facing Xie Lin sat the tired prince Xie Zhao, while Yu Wang Xie Qu was standing next to the bird cage by the window, holding yellow rice grains in his hand, leisurely feeding the bird in the cage. Canary bird feeding.

While they were free and having nothing to do, Xie Zhao and Xie Lin played a game of chess, the two were evenly divided, and the game was tied.

Putting down the chess pieces, Xie Zhaojing raised his hand and asked Xie Zhaodao, "Why is the second brother so excited that he called me and the third brother here today?"

King Yu Xie Qu smiled honestly: "Isn't it true that we brothers haven't been together for more than a month? If you are idle in the mansion, you are also idle. What's more, today is the announcement day, and it is very lively."

Xie Zhao smiled, nodded slightly and said, "Today is indeed a good day."

The two were talking, but Xie Lin didn't answer. The maid poured tea for him, and he picked up the cup with lowered eyes, and slowly blew the tea leaves floating on the top of the tea water.

Xie Qu tilted his head, seemed to be dissatisfied with his quietness, and asked him deliberately: "Looking at the third brother, I don't have a smile on my second brother, could it be that he doesn't want to come out and get together with us?"

Xie Lin raised his eyes slowly, with a calm expression: "The princess at home is about to give birth."

Xie Zhao heard the words and asked, "How many days are left?"

Xie Lindao: "It may be as short as [-] days, or as long as [-] days."

Xie Zhao was a little worried and said: "I heard from Su Shu that Princess Jing seems to have twins, so she must encounter more difficulties at that time."

"Speaking of which," King Yu Xie Qu interrupted suddenly, with a slightly smug smile on his face, "I also had a son and a daughter last month."

Xie Zhao is
