Yu Shu and Xue Rui came out of the cell, and along the narrow aisle, out of the tiger's head, the carriage was waiting across the street, Lao Cui lifted the curtain, and the two got into the carriage one after another.

Xue Rui was not curious to inquire about what Yu Shu and Ji Xingxuan said, and while asking her if there was any place to go next, he hung up the curtains secretly and looked out at random, but saw another Zhupeng carriage slowly passing not far away, Xue Rui poked his head out slightly, and saw that the car was parked outside the prison gate they had just left.

"Send me home directly, big brother, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing, I'll send you back." Xue Rui turned around and sat down, if he was not mistaken, the carriage just now belonged to Liu Hao, the seventh prince.

Xue Rui sent Yu Shu back to Zhao Hui's house, turned the car around and went to the Wangji Building, entered from the backyard, and went up to the second floor, Liu Tan was waiting for him in the innermost elegant room.

"Your Highness, I'm late, so I'll keep you waiting." Xue Rui lifted his robe and sat down opposite Liu Tan.

"There are no outsiders, my cousin can change my words," Liu Tan poured a cup of purple bamboo shoots that had just been brewed on the table and handed it to him, and asked, "Have you gone to visit the girl in the lotus room, is she okay?"

"Hmm," Xue Rui nodded and sighed lightly, "I'm just worried that her little finger will fall into the sequelae."

Liu Tan said: "The girl of the lotus room has taken great pains to protect my uncle," said and handed him a plain silver brocade box that was placed in his hand, and said: "This is the secret medicine for bone healing in the sect when I was practicing in the Heavenly Master Dao, and I wrote the method I used in it, you can bring it to her."

Xue Rui's eyes lit up, thanked him, put away the brocade box, and the two of them got down to business.

"Yesterday, Uncle Shi entered the palace, my father was so happy, and ordered our princes and princesses to hold a banquet in the Chengguang Palace, one by one for Uncle Shi, when the wine was ugly, Uncle Shi stayed in the palace last night and mentioned this matter in public to his father and emperor this morning, as if he intended to take Uncle Shi to worship the Imperial Tomb next month, but did not mention the fact that Uncle Shi was murdered on the way, obviously the case was not investigated clearly before the plan was not intended to be popular, what news do you have over there?"

Liu Tan will return to Beijing this time, he will stay in the prince's mansion for a long time, he does not have to return to the mountain, and he needs to participate in the early dynasty tomorrow, and although Xue Rui has five official residences, he is a deputy who only needs to listen to the training of the court two days a month, so he is not present in the morning today.

Xue Rui sipped tea and talked about the Ji family's involvement in the Da Yan theft, deliberately concealing the details of Yu Shu and Jing Chen's night visit to the Peiren Pavilion, but it was enough for Liu Tan to listen to the strange expression.

"This Ji family is really bold, and his hands are stretched out to the examination room, I heard that in the ninth year of Zhaoqing, an examiner was found to have cheated for personal gain, and the dismissal of the official and the death of the three candidates on the spot was a sensation, but I didn't expect that after three years, such a scandal would happen again."

Xue Rui said: "Ji Huaishan originally relied on the promotion of the previous big mention point, and sat in the current position, on weekdays in Si Tianjian, he is very dependent on the old and sells the old, but in the end, the family background is not deep, there is no foundation, he has sat in the position of the right judge for too long, and many people are waiting for him to take his position next year." Ji Huaishan was also anxious, he originally wanted to use the power of the Seven Emperors to cling to the royal family, but the emperor pointed out the marriage, so that their wishes were disappointed, so he stared at this time Dayan tried every means to make his family's fourth lady come out and take the opportunity to enter the Si Tianjian post, but unfortunately, they stumbled for a while, calculated on my righteous sister's head, and were pecked blind by geese all day long, this time it was difficult to escape. ”

Liu Tan listened carefully to his analysis of the matter, and then asked: "In Si Tianjian the night before, my cousin asked me to help, but is it because this Ji family is under Liu Hao's party?" But when I inquired, it seems that there is not much to do with the two. ”

Xue Rui smiled faintly and said: "Yun, you have been away all the year round, and you have not teased An Ling for a long time, there are some things that are not very clear, although this Ji family is not a henchman of the Seven Princes, but the fourth lady of the Ji family is a disease in his heart, this woman is talented and beautiful, and it is easy to learn, the Seventh Prince intends to take her as a concubine that day, as far as I know, he has privately sent Yu Ruyi to the other party, but the marriage is all up to the emperor, and he is helpless, Miss Ji is arrogant and unwilling to give in, and after knowing his marriage, she decisively dissociates herself from him."

As he spoke, he paused, shook half a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and said slowly:

"Liu Hao is a person, I know very well, if you can't get it, the more he will not give up, this person is sought after by the perennial audience, there is an arrogant atmosphere, and he likes to face, now the Ji family is guilty, that Miss Ji is in prison, how can he let go of this good opportunity for the hero to save the beauty, moreover, Ji Huaishan has a friend in his life, it is Zhao Zhixue, the fourth academician of Taishi Shuyuan, the Ji family has an accident, he will not stand idly by, and I heard from the mouth of the righteous sister, this theft seems to be also involved in the Zhao family, the Zhao family and the concubine Yin family are in-laws, As long as you plan properly, you can bring this matter to the Seven Princes, as long as he takes care of this matter, it will cause a lot of fish, in contrast, you practice with the Tao, and now the emperor prefers the Tao, as soon as this matter comes out, it will add to your name. ”

Liu Tan looked at Xue Rui, thinking that Xue Rui could react in just a few breaths in Si Tianjian that night, and couldn't help but secretly admire, and said to himself:

"After listening to my cousin's words, I realized that I was shallow, and I will have to teach me more in the future."

Xue Rui smiled and touched the teacup to him, "You learn from me, it's almost the same as learning to eat, drink and have fun, when I go to Dali Temple in the afternoon and come back, I will take you on a tour of Beijing in the evening, and I haven't returned for three years, this Anling City is the same again, you should take a look at it first." ”

Liu Tan also smiled and clinked glasses with him, a person who is usually silent, but he was in the mood to joke at this time: "I have heard of my cousin's romantic name, don't take me to those Fengyue places, I haven't been in this uniform for a few days, and I need to purify my heart and cultivate my nature."

Xue Rui raised his forehead and said: "It must be that kid Ruilin who arranged me in front of you, what kind of romance, it's just that I was ignorant a few years ago, and I socialized with those gentlemen all day long, and I was contaminated with some vices, but now I quit early, except for drinking, I have never been greedy for joy."

Liu Tan nodded, stopped making fun of him, and after tea, the two had dinner in the restaurant again, and then dispersed.

Let's say that Yu Shu came back from visiting in prison yesterday, and recuperated at home for two days, never waiting for Jingchen to come back, and never heard of him, and was about to ask Xue Rui to help inquire, Dali Temple came to ask someone to ask questions, and invited her to go, because the Ji family was involved in the murder of the emperor.

The public office of Dali Temple is located in the north of the city, only two streets away from the imperial city, there is a memorial arch on the street, it is forbidden for traders to come and go, the street is very clean, but there are few pedestrians in broad daylight.

The official messenger brought Yu Shu into the yamen, because it was not a formal opening of the court, so there was no need to go to the front court, but to ask questions in the tea room at the back.

When Yu Shu arrived, there were already three officials wearing black veils and red clothes waiting in the spacious tea room, Xue Rui was among them, in front of the other two colleagues, he didn't show too much closeness to her, but just nodded to her, hinting that he was there, and asked her not to be nervous, just answer with confidence

"Lord Qiyu, Yu Shu, the son of Dayan Kaozi, bring it."

"Let's go down."

With Xue Rui present, Yu Shu's courage was a little bigger, and he was asked by two high-ranking officials about the involvement of the Yellow Frost Stone with the Ji family, and he planted the Ji family without blushing or panting, and insisted that the Yellow Frost Stone was owned by Jing Chen, and was lost when he was plotted and lost his memory, which means that the Ji family was related to the traitor who conspired to kill Jing Chen.

There was a master bookkeeper sitting on the side, writing down Yu Shu's words one by one, thinking that he was going to go back and find Jing Chen to testify, but Yu Shu was not afraid, she had already set up words with Jing Chen, and the Ji family wanted to clear this suspicion, and there was no way to start with the two of them.

Xue Rui intended to give Yu Shu a chance to confess the matter of the Ji family's Dayan theft, so he asked at the right time:

"You said that the treasure of the famous Yellow Frost Stone was found on Miss Ji's body, and you asked for it back with the same Daozi, so why was it that night in Si Tianjian, I saw that the ancestors of the Ji family were very shocked when they saw the Yellow Frost Stone in your hand, obviously I didn't know that this thing was in your hands? That's why. ”

Yu Shu pretended to hesitate and said, "Because Daozi and I used a little trickery when we retrieved the Yellow Frost Stone, Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan didn't know that Dao Dao was done by me, let alone that it was in my hands."

"What's the plan?"

"This ̈."

The other two officials, seeing Yu Shu's words flickering, noticed the hidden situation, and an official surnamed Chu straightened his face and asked, "It's about the case, and I ask Miss Yu to tell the truth."

Yu Shu gritted her teeth, on the surface, it seemed that she had made up her mind, but in fact, she already had a draft in her heart, which mixed her into the Taishi Library, and overheard Ji Xingxuan talking to people in the library building, looking for the exam papers before Fengshun, and she accidentally brought this file home, and found the Yunhua Yizi exam papers hidden in it, so as to guess the Ji family's theft of questions, and then wrote an anonymous letter to the Ji family to threaten it, and exchanged the exam papers for Huang Shuangshi in Changchun Fang.

The two officials of Dali Temple changed color on the spot, exchanged glances, and only thought of asking Yu Shu after a while: "You claim that the Ji family stole the question, what evidence do you have?"

Yu Shu bowed his head and said: "Daozi can testify, that is, he personally handed over the Yunhua Yizi exam paper to Miss Ji while the chaos was in the hands, and afterwards I went to the Peiren Pavilion to inquire, this year's Dayan astrological subject is really the same as twenty years ago, adults can send someone to investigate, the student is honest, and he will not dare to hide it."

Hearing this, several people present were cautious, and one of the officials surnamed Chu turned his head to ask Xue Rui:

"Lord Xue, what is your opinion on this matter?

Xue Ruiban straightened his face and said: "I think it's true, if the Ji family doesn't know the exam questions this year, why do they want to go as promised, and exchange treasures such as Huang Shuangshi for an invalid volume, according to the opinion of the lower officials, you need to send someone to Si Tianjian to inquire, after verification, it is necessary to file a case, as the official of Si Tian, Ji Huaishan's crime of stealing questions is added to one degree, and this crime of favoritism and fraud cannot be tolerated."

"In this way, there is Lord Lao Xue to make a trip, tomorrow morning, this official will take this matter to the emperor, and then please decide."

The final word, the Ji family's theft will be revealed, the evidence is conclusive, as long as there is no accident, it will be difficult to escape the law, Yu Shu raised his head, looked at Xue Rui, and his thoughts were clear.
