"Could it be that there is really something peculiar about this painting?" King Qi was also suspicious of this painting at this time.

He suddenly thought that Xin Yan suddenly asked himself out today, and it was definitely not just a "catch-up" with himself, there must be something to do. However, could this matter be related to this painting?

"At the beginning, Xiao Chun also thought so, after taking it back, I took a look, there is really nothing special about the painting, but the problem appears on the scroll of this painting." Xin Yan pointed out the place on the painting as he spoke.

"Usually the scroll will have a certain proportion, if the scroll is too large, it will make the painting not attract attention, after all, the scroll is only for beauty, and if it is too large, the scroll will be too bulky and not good-looking. However, the scroll of this painting is much larger than the usual scroll, but it does not weigh much when you pick it up. According to this situation, His Royal Highness King Qi, what do you think is the reason for this? ”

King Qi looked at the painting scroll according to his words, yes, this painting scroll is indeed much bigger, because at first he thought that there was a problem with the painting on the scroll, so he only focused on the painting, but ignored the painting scroll.

"In that case, could it be that this scroll is really weird?" King Qi directly touched it, and when he picked up the scroll, it was indeed as Xin Yan said, its weight was almost the same as the usual scroll: "The appearance is so different, but the weight has not changed at all, there can only be one answer, that is, this scroll is actually hollow!" "That's why he was able to equal the weight of the scroll, which was much smaller than him.

However, why use hollow scrolls? Could it be that he is hiding something?

Thinking about it like this, Qi Wangjiu searched for it seriously, wanting to see what was in it.

Suddenly, his hand touched a bumpy place, which he couldn't see with the naked eye, but he could still feel it with his hand.

This should be the switch, King Qi glanced at Xin Yan, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he turned on the mechanism.

Sure enough, the scroll was hollow, and there was a piece of paper hidden inside.

With doubts, King Qi took out the piece of paper, opened it and looked at it, his pupils suddenly constricted.

looked at Xin Yan with a solemn face, and said, "This is ......"

He wasn't sure, because he hadn't read the original test questions, but the format and questions were indeed very similar...... If it really answers the question in his heart, I'm afraid that this matter will be troublesome!

Xin Yan said in a deep voice: "I guess, this is probably the topic of this imperial examination——"

"How is this possible?!" It's no wonder that King Qi can't believe it, but this matter is too outrageous.

If this is really the test question of this imperial examination, and he was deliberately put in a painting scroll, he was taken out and sold...... In this way, isn't someone leaking the test questions to sell them, this is fraud, according to the law of the Great Jin, the person who cheats in the imperial examination is a capital crime!

But this imperial examination was jointly presided over by the prime minister, the Ministry of Rites, and several ministers of the court, and the prime minister presided over the examination, and the test questions were leaked, which means that someone among them leaked it......

If it is true, then this incident is unforgivable, and it may make the court change blood!

"You say this, but seriously. You know, this isn't a joke! King Qi stared at Xin Yan directly, wanting to get an accurate answer, with his understanding of Xin Yan, she would not say such uncertain things......

"This, in fact, is my gift to His Highness!"

King Qi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I was secretly staring at a few princes, but I accidentally found that King Xiang and the prime minister were getting a little closer, although the prime minister was also the object of several princes to woo, but the prime minister was still quite distant from several princes on the surface, but he allowed his son to get so close to King Xiang, doesn't this also represent his thoughts? So when I was investigating, I paid more attention to it, but it really made me find something interesting. ”

Xin Yan said with a smile: "If the news I get is good, in previous years, the imperial examinations were presided over by the prime minister, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu assisted from the side, but now this Ministry of Rites Shangshu has indeed just been promoted this year, he was originally a waiter of the Ministry of Rites......"

King Qi nodded: "That's right." The previous Rite Scholar had been executed for committing a crime. ”

"I know this, and I have also heard that the previous secretary of the Ministry of Rites was convicted shortly after the imperial examination last year. And it was the Ministry of Rites who reported him today, the original Ministry of Rites waiter. And the crime is accepting bribes......" Xin Yan propped his chin and said: "Moreover, I also heard that in the last year's imperial examination, the people on the list were a little strange, those who were originally very good at studying and had the most hope of winning the list, most of them actually fell off the list, and the people on the list were actually some people who were unknown before, doesn't Your Highness think it's too strange?" ”

King Qi had already guessed the meaning of Dao Xin's words: "Are you saying that in the imperial examination last year, the test questions were also leaked, so that those students who were expected to win the list were squeezed off the list by those who knew the test questions?" ”

"That's right! If my conjecture is not wrong, I am afraid that the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites knew some of the secrets, and then was framed, and the person who framed him had a lot to do with the original Ministry of Rites waiter, after all, he was the one who benefited in the end. ”

Xin Yan's conjecture is really crazy, it is impossible for a small waiter of the Ministry of Rites to steal the test questions unknowingly, and spread it on a large scale, with a waiter, it is absolutely impossible. Unless, there are more powerful people behind him!

And most likely, it is the prime minister who is the chief judge!

As soon as this conjecture appeared in King Qi's mind, he couldn't get rid of it.

Suddenly, King Qi had a flash of inspiration: "You just mentioned King Rui, could it be that this matter also has something to do with King Rui?" ”

"Your Highness is really smart."

In the face of Xin Yan's praise, King Qi felt that he was very weak-hearted, if Xin Yan hadn't said the key, he probably wouldn't have known that there was such a big conspiracy.

Ah Yan said this, and I was really ashamed. I didn't even notice it in the court, but it was you, who could collect so much news......"

Xin Yan comforted: "Your Highness doesn't need to look down on yourself, you yourself don't know so much about the affairs of the court, and it's natural that you don't know many things." Besides, when doing such a big thing, the people behind it will naturally be careful again and again when they do these things, and it is not so easy for others to find out. ”

"But even if this is true, there is no substantial evidence to convict them."

"That's right, it's really not a good time to make a move." Xin Yan said truthfully: "What we need now is to wait!" ”

King Qi said: "Wait? ”

"That's right, when this matter is big, when it comes to the imperial examination, when they take off their guard and are the most lax, then let them receive the most powerful blow, then it will be the most deadly!" As Xin Yan spoke, the more light in his eyes became, letting him know that what this woman said could definitely be realized.

"If you wait until then, if the content of the test questions is really like this, as soon as this matter breaks out, my father will definitely be furious, and he will really not be able to be good at that time, and he will definitely find out who is behind the scenes!" King Qi said.

"Not exactly, if there is no certainty of victory, I will definitely not make a move easily, what I want is for them to have no way to escape, and their true form will be revealed." Xin Yan said.

"You've got a plan!" This was not a question sentence, but an affirmation, because he saw the firmness in Xin Yan's eyes.

"I said, this is a gift for His Royal Highness King Qi, how can the weight be light, if that's the case, I can't take it. If I had predicted correctly, they would have found a substitute for the dead when the deed was revealed, and that was the time to strike them a fatal blow. ”

"Of course, when the time comes, His Highness will need to take action, and His Highness will also enter the central court according to this matter. Moreover, those students who are expected to win the list will also be grateful to His Highness, because His Highness can expose the conspiracy, so that their talents will not be buried under the calculation of the conspiracy, and they can get the glory they deserve. ”

King Qi was really pleasantly surprised by Xin Yan's series of words, but she didn't expect that she would be able to anticipate this step. This scheming has reached the point of creeping, and the people in Gyeonggi, even his brothers, do not know the purpose of this woman, she is secretly broking, casting a net, waiting for the day when the net will be closed and those people will be knocked into the abyss......

At this time, King Qi was also extremely glad that he was her partner and a person in her boat, not her enemy.

"What do you need me to do?" King Qi knew that if she did these things, it would definitely bring him countless popular hearts and great benefits. After all, those students may be officials in the court in a few years, such a group, if their hearts are towards him, doesn't it mean that he already has the strength to compete with other princes in secret?

"Your Highness doesn't need to do anything these days, just wait." After Xin Yan finished speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to King Qi: "After the imperial examination, you will act according to the letter written, I promise, those people are absolutely, there is no way, there is no way, you can, you can escape." However, His Royal Highness also has to face certain risks, after all, after this incident, those of them may not feel that His Highness really has no intention of ruling and really wants to be an idle person.

His Highness can think clearly and then decide whether to do this or not, and now, His Highness still has a choice. ”

King Qi was surprised that Xin Yan would let him choose.

However, he had only one choice, from that time when he accepted Xin Yan's words, until now, he will not change. That position, he will definitely get it.

Because only if you are strong can you protect the people you want to protect, you will not put yourself in a dilemma.

"There has always been only one choice for me, you just wait for my news!"
