Chapter 364: Balance the Inference
When Rong Bai was in the academy, Hengqing was waiting for someone in the secret room.
"Hengqing, what's wrong?" When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back, he saw Qi Zhong hiding in the study. Knowing that Hengqing wanted to see him, he didn't even pack up, and went to the secret room in court clothes.
Hengqing was sitting in a wheelchair, and when he heard the voice of His Royal Highness the Prince, he raised his head and pushed the paper on the table in front of the prince: "Last night, Xiaobai went to the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
The prince is not good.
However, the crown prince and Rong Bai also know each other, and it is impossible for Rong Bai to trouble the third prince for no reason.
"Why did the third child offend Rong Bai?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remember what happened after the exam?" asked Hengqing with a smile.
The prince nodded. Of course, I still remember that incident, some time ago, when I heard that Hengqing was in prison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was completely stunned. I don't believe that the prince is killed, and Hengqing will have something to do with reliable fraud. However, the matter is not too important, after all, Hengqing was imprisoned for less than half a day and was released again.
Jia was released, but Xiaobai still felt that Jia had been wronged. Hengqing lowered his head and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "So, Xiaobai used his relationship to find out who instructed to frame Jia." That man, in the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
"Why did the third child frame you?" the prince was even more puzzled.
Hengqing still had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Three Princes' Mansion may not be the Three Princes." ”
Seeing Hengqing shaking his head, the prince was at a loss.
"Your Highness must have heard that the scholar who framed Jia received a lot of silver. Hengqing dropped his finger on the paper, and then scratched another name: "Fortunately, there are traces of the silver ticket they used." Through the direction of the circulation of silver tickets, we found two people. ”
Hengqing said this, and glanced up at the prince: "The first person is the servant of the ministry." ”
As soon as he heard the name of the servant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little unbearable. Although His Majesty did not explicitly assign the Ministry of Officials to His Royal Highness the Prince, however, His Royal Highness the Prince's right-hand man is the Ministry of Officials, and everyone knows that His Majesty has brought the East Palace and the Ministry of Officials online. Because of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have so much pressure in the case of fraud in the imperial examination.
"However, he is not the mastermind. The pen in Hengqing's hand drew a cross on the name of the servant of the ministry: "Not only this time, but even the fraud of the scientific examination, the main character should not be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." At most, he just intervened and greedy for some silver. ”
Hengqing didn't think that the servants could do such a thing from the beginning.
"What do you mean, the servant is guilty?" asked the prince in disbelief. However, doesn't he know that he is guilty of a capital crime! Fortunately, His Majesty did not get angry, but only raided the house and did not exterminate the clan. But even so, the servant of the ministry can be called a broken family.
"If you are forced to confess, why don't you tell the truth in the main hall?"
That's the first question. Hengqing picked up his pen and wrote this line on another piece of paper: Why did the servant of the ministry be silent to the end.
The prince looked at that line of words, and he knew that next, Hengqing would not analyze this paragraph.
"There are two reasons why I convicted the servant of the ministry of guilt. Hengqing paused: "First, if you want to cheat in the imperial examination, you must get the papers, before entering the examination room, it is impossible for either the papers or the people who produce the papers to leave the Gongyuan, and the servants of the Ministry are not the ones who produce the papers." ”
"He couldn't get the papers. The prince understood.
"Second, the servant of the ministry suddenly had an extra 10,000 taels of silver. Moreover, he didn't keep this money himself, but bought Gu Ming to deal with me. It is impossible for a person who buys and sells test questions for the sake of money. Hengqing moved his finger to Gu Ming's name.
The crown prince glanced at the name on the paper, and then at Hengqing.
He really couldn't understand why the servants of the Ministry had to deal with Hengqing, 10,000 taels of silver, even if the servants of the Ministry of Officials generally couldn't see a lot of silver. With so much silver, he will give it away without blinking, does Hengqing have a feud with the servant of the ministry?
However, the servant of the ministry is more than ten years older than Hengqing, even if he has a feud, he also has a relationship with Hengqing's parents, what is Hengqing doing?
"Your Highness, what you are thinking about does not exist. Hengqing couldn't bear to pull His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts back: "If there is a direct feud, the other party can't use such a method to deal with Jia." This kind of technique can't be defeated. ”
Hengqing is not exaggerating at all. Such a technique is not used to treat people who have a feud at all.
"What do you mean by that?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly.
Hengqing, who has been teaching children to learn for a long time, has always been able to point out the direction and guide the way of analyzing problems. This habit is applied to the prince, and naturally it will not be beneficial. Hearing the impatient voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Hengqing naturally understood that there was a problem with his way of explaining.
"Your Highness, Jia just thinks that the method of this incident is a bit like the method of that invisible opponent. ”
This time, the spearhead was Hengqing. From the very beginning, the other party designed himself, and the leakage of the scientific examination means that the results of this scientific examination will be lost nine times out of ten, and the person who loses the most is Hengqing. The second is to pull him into the leaking case. In this way, Hengqing didn't even have a chance to turn over.
The other party knew that Hengqing had money, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Hengqing still had talents.
"Your Highness. Hengqing took a new piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper. It wasn't until a page was written that Hengqing handed the written paper to the prince: "Your Highness should have seen that person's methods in the previous assassination." The strategy is linked one by one, and every time one person is dug out, it is another person who is pulled out from behind. ”
After a pause, Hengqing sighed: "So far, the second prince, the third prince and the sixth prince have all been involved, but there is no news from that person." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded.
"This time, though, there's news. Hengqing smiled and moved his finger to a name on the first page: "The money to buy Gu Ming was given by Hu Ji." Orchid is the concubine of the three princes. ”
"You said before, it wasn't the third child who did it. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already confused.
"It's true that His Royal Highness didn't do it. The smile on the corner of Hengqing's mouth became colder and colder: "Hu Ji, it's from the Qi country." Moreover, Orchid's martial arts are very powerful, Jia Ke doesn't believe that if the third prince has such a powerful woman, why should he let her be his concubine. ”
The prince's concubine can't have such a high combat effectiveness.
The prince nodded his head without stopping, and Hengqing's analysis was very correct.
"I think that the son who has been hiding in the capital is actually a guest of Qi State. Not surprisingly, the other party's identity is very high, whether it is in Dayong's identity or in Qiguo's identity. ”
