When Zhou Shaoning rushed to the door of the imperial study, he saw his emperor's uncle, the most powerful man in Dafeng, who was angrily throwing the paperweight on his dragon case to the ground.

"It's really a bunch of rice buckets, the top three I just selected, and I haven't slept yet. Immediately, the people were robbed, and they were robbed at the same hour. If the world knows, where will I put my face? ”

After the paperweight, the emperor also lost his anger, sat on the dragon chair, and said earnestly: "They have studied hard for decades, just for the imperial examination, to be able to be admitted to a jinshi, and to contribute to the country." But what kind of moth is this, buying and selling questions, involving so many courtiers and students.

I secretly sent someone to deal with the relevant officials, and the students involved only eliminated their rankings.

I checked all the jinshi. I thought that this would be the case, and I would parade the elected people through the streets and divide them into similar official positions. Set an example for students all over the world, but this street has not even been toured, and there are no people. ”

The emperor looked at Marquis Su, Liu Yunzhou, and Wu Zhang, the commander of the Nine Gates, and then said, "You guys think about it here, what will you do when you go to the street in three days." How to give an explanation to the students of the world. ”

After speaking, the emperor saw Zhou Shaoning standing at the door, and said: "The three of you don't have to go to court recently, you must find people in the past three days." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and came to the queen's Fengzao Palace with Zhou Shaoning.

Zhou Shaoning was wondering, the emperor's uncle would let him come over, wasn't it for their business?

"See Your Majesty. ”

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, so you don't want to see outsiders like that. The emperor directly pointed to the stool next to him and said, "You must know what happened just now." ”

Zhou Shaoning nodded and said, "I know, Su Zhiyuan, Xiao Yifeng, and Li Huaiyuan are all missing." Presumably, it was for this reason that the three of them appeared in the imperial study at this time. ”

In fact, he was strange why Su Hou Ye appeared there. Pingyuan Hou Su Buqing has always been an idle leader, and in this matter, he should be regarded as a bitter master. How could it be that the main person in charge of this matter, Wu Zhang, the commander of Jiumen, and Liu Yunzhou, the commander of Jin Wuwei, were all disciplined.

"This news was first that Zhou Ping, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, was on his way back to his home, and he met someone who carried a person out of Xiao Yifeng's house. He chased after him himself, and then sent someone to tell me.

Next, Su Zhiyuan ran to say that his son had been kidnapped in the house. And Li Huaiyuan of Taifu Mansion disappeared, and it was only after this that I sent someone to ask that I found out that the person was gone. I left a note on the bed, so I called you over. ”

"Your Majesty is asking the ministers to assist the Admiral of the Nine Gates in tracking down the whereabouts of these three people?"

"Not only do we have to track down the whereabouts of the three of them, but we also have to monitor two more people, Liu Yunzhou and Su Buqing. ”

"Your Majesty is suspicious of the two of them......"

"The news has not yet been released in the form of a list article, and the first person to know this result, and the person who checked the student's information was Liu Yunzhou. Although Su Buqing is an idler, he is idle. But this person's ability is not bad, and he will definitely not lose the eldest son he just found, such a promising son.

In addition, the matter of substituting money for conscription and conscription has almost been finalized. But he didn't agree, and I don't think he'll have a problem here. For these two reasons, you should check for me to see if this Su Buqing is involved in the Jiangnan gang. ”

"Your Majesty is suspicious, is this caused by that group of chaotic parties in Jiangnan?"

"Those who dare to openly deal with the imperial court, except for those chaotic parties, I really can't think of anyone else who is so desperate. The emperor paused and said, "Let the Jiangnan matter go for a while, maybe you can find something interesting in this matter." ”

"Yes. ”

When Zhou Shaoning returned to the Wind Lotus Garden, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Chu Ziyan put on a dress, took a book in her hand, and dozed off on a chair.

Looking at her like this, Zhou Shaoning was a little worried, those people were gone, maybe the capital was not safe. Is it the best choice to put her in the capital like this?

Just when he hesitated, Chu Ziyan woke up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "You're back?"

"Yes. Zhou Shaoning walked up to her, hugged her horizontally, gently put her on the bed, let her lie down, and said, "You don't have to wait for me so late, you can rest quickly." ”

Chu Ziyan grabbed his hand and asked, "I want to know what happened." ”

Zhou Shaoning didn't intend to scare her, but just looked at the firmness in her eyes, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that those people were kidnapped." Uncle has already sent the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Jin Wuwei and Jinyi Wei to investigate, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”

Chu Ziyan shook her head and said, "When you weren't there just now, I asked Chen Wen. It's not as simple as you say. Su Zhiwei, Xiao Yifeng and Li Huaiyuan, several of them are the top three newly selected. They have a mediocre relationship, and it is impossible for them to have the same enemies.

Generally, robbers kidnap people in order to ask for money. will choose large families, and generally choose the families of wealthy and powerless businessmen. And there will be one or two people left on the scene, explaining how much the ransom is and where to replace them.

However, none of the three people kidnapped by the robbers met the conditions of having money and no power. This is no ordinary robber anymore.

In addition, when these three people were abducted, the note left by the robbers was very special. It is all written in Baiyue's characters, and ordinary people can't understand it at all. robbed someone and left a note, but the family couldn't read it, that can only mean that the note is not for the family, so who will it be for?"

"Yan'er, don't get involved in this matter, it will be dangerous. ”

Chu Ziyan shook her head and said, "This time, I feel that it has something to do with Shen Lin. ”

"But he's dead. ”

"He's dead, but there are so many people who do things for him. Chu Ziyan paused and said, "When I was in a bookstore, so many people began to leave notes to contact. Later, when we noticed it, they disappeared immediately.

It's not that these people don't connect, it's that they change the way they connect. It shows that someone planned their fraud, and there were people behind it who collected information and made arrangements. This group of people cannot be underestimated.

They were able to send the relationship to the British duke, and they could also know that the test questions would be stored in the Taifu Mansion for a few days, and finally handed over to His Majesty by a reliable person. I deduced all this information after the fact, but did the group of people who could get the test questions know it in advance? I've already arranged how to do it. “

Listening to his wife's words, Zhou Shaoning fell into deep thought, and then asked, "Then what do you say is the purpose of the robbers?"

"They are provoking Dafeng, they are demonstrating. ”
