Fan Yu directly denied this idea and told his stepmother about it, regardless of whether the stepmother Empress Dowager Li had the intention of marrying Princess Huanyu to herself, first of all, it ruined the relationship between the stepmother and the Empress Dowager Yang. The old sister who has such a good relationship hides the matter from herself, what will her stepmother, Empress Dowager Li, think.

In the future, even if you uncover this matter, you have to find evidence by yourself and use a tactful method to uncover this matter.

In a moment, Fan Yu thought a lot.

"Brother Zhan, telling me these things today has put you at risk." Fan Yu arched his hand at Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother Zhan, please rest assured, I won't talk nonsense about this matter." So, I went to the western workshop to pay off. ”

Zhan Zhao did not doubt that he had him, so he waved his hand at Fan Yu and said, "You go by yourself, I have nothing to do, so I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to visit the brothers." ”

The two went their separate ways, but Fan Yu didn't go far. He went from the halfway to the West Workshop and went directly to the Inquisition's Court.

When he arrived at the Inquisition's Court, he showed his seal, and he was naturally treated as a guest.

The Inquisitor's Court here has the bottom file of his governor's general judgment, and he is also the Hou Ye who has been continuously reprimanded by the official family, even if everyone has not seen it, he is also well-known.

The person who received Fan Yu was an envoy of the prefect and court of the fifth grade, named Liu Yi.

This Liu Yi knew that Fan Yu's origin was very great, so he deliberately greeted him and invited Fan Yu to his duty room to serve tea in person.

"Master Hou is free today, why did you remember my Inquisitor's Court?" Liu Yi personally put the teacup in front of Fan Yu before asking with a smile.

"I passed by here today, and I remembered that I hadn't been to the interrogator yet, so I came to take a look." Fan Yu also smiled: "Since the official family has arranged an errand for me, then I can't be idle, I always have to mix all the officials as well as possible." If something happens, it won't run to the wrong yamen. ”

Liu Yi flattered and laughed: "Master Hou is really funny and humorous, if there is something just to command, why bother to run in person." ”

Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "It's good to run errands by yourself, it's better than being stuffy by yourself." A few days ago, I had a banquet with several scholars from Xinke. It is the champion of this year's new department, Bangyan, Tanhua, and the top three of the second class, all of whom are present. ”

"Oh, the people that Master Hou has made friends with are all dragons and phoenixes among people!" Liu Yi exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Although one of these six people is taken out, they are all considered talents. And this release is the general judgment of a state. If you do a good job, you will be promoted to the fifth grade after three years. If it is fast, it is not impossible to visit the prime minister more than ten years later. People are divided into groups, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. Hou Ye travels with such people, and he is also the best among people. ”

"Don't be overstated, we just had a meal together." Fan Yu shook his head and smiled: "Although I know them, I don't know the situation of these people's families. Come to think of it, here in the Inquisition's Court, there should be a few people's family history documents. ”

Liu Yi heard that Fan Yu wanted to check the family history documents of several people, and he didn't think deeply, he just thought that Master Hou wanted to invest in these scholars, thinking that he would help them in the future.

He immediately nodded and said, "These are naturally available, Master Hou can wait for a while, I will order someone to fetch them." ”

Liu Yi instructed this matter, and naturally a scribe went to find the archives and transferred all the documents of the six people.

Fan Yu looked through them one by one, and what he cared about the most was Chen Shimei's introduction.

In Chen Shimei's introduction, it seems that this person's family background is quite miserable. Both parents died, and there were no brothers and sisters, and he was alone and unmarried. It's like a seedling in the dry land, so he relied on his perseverance and passed the Jinshi test.

Fan Yu took Chen Shimei's family history book and said: "This Chen Shimei, but some of her family is bleak." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Liu Yi glanced at Chen Shimei's document and said, "Master Hou's words are the same as the one that came to Manager Chen in the womb a few days ago. Mr. Chen said the same thing, but Mr. Chen said that the more this is the case, the better, and it saves worry and trouble. I don't know what Mr. Chen means, it's confusing. ”

Listening to the words of this envoy of the Liu Academy, Fan Yu muttered in his heart, it turned out that the official family had also sent Chief Chen Lin to check. Presumably he had some impression of Chen Shimei, so he sent Chen Lin to investigate.

"This Brother Chen is dignified, and his conversation is also very elegant, although he is the first in the second class, his demeanor is not inferior to the champion by half a point." Fan Yu praised with a smile.

The envoy of the Liu Yuan nodded again and again in agreement: "This person's demeanor is indeed good, when he was at the Qionglin banquet, he attracted the attention of many people. Even the official family once asked who this person was, and it was still the official family I returned to at that time. ”

Fan Yu laughed and said: "It's a pity that Brother Chen's life experience is a little miserable, and I don't know how he got into Jinshi in his studies." If there is no one for him to bury his head in reading and share chores, how can he study with peace of mind, so that he will have the title of the gold list. ”

"Perhaps this Chen Shimei's family has a lot of land, and the cultivation of the land is taken care of by its own tenants. He only collected the rent so that he could maintain it. Liu Yi said disapprerovingly.

But this is also where Fan Yu suspects, can a tenant with a field not listen to what is going on outside the window? Apparently impossible. This tenant has something to do, and he can't stop going to the master's house. Or fight for water, or land disputes, or all kinds of trivial chores, and so on. If you want to study with peace of mind, someone must take these chores over.

In addition, if Chen Shimei's family is in trouble, and he doesn't work by himself, he can't even settle down, where does he get the spare time to study?

From this, Fan Yu also deduced that Chen Shimei, as he knew, lied about his family background.

Although Fan Yu knew, and also saw some doubts from this family history document. But this can't be used as evidence, you can only know it yourself, but you can't win the trust of others.

"What Envoy Liu said makes sense, it should be so." Fan Yu didn't want to sit here anymore, he asked again: "I don't know where this Chen Shimei is now arranged." ”

"He is a school scrivener in the secretary province, and such a new person can only be this kind of parasitic official first. When you go outside to experience and have experience, it is possible to arrange a real job in Beijing. ”

Fan Yu got up, said goodbye to Liu Yi and Liu Yuan's envoy, and went to the secretary province by himself.

Although the school secretary is not a big official, he is noble. In terms of speaking, it is easier than the three people appointed by Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua to be the supervisors. Once favored by the officials, this identity is very different.

With these things in mind, the person also came to the secretary province. The secretary province is in charge of classic books, national history, and astronomical almanacs, and there are many people in the secretary province, most of whom are well-educated.

It's just that there is one point that the people in the secretary province are arrogant and arrogant, and they look at people through their nostrils. I just feel that all the talents and learning in this world are in my stomach, and I can't look down on others at all.

Although Fan Yu had already arrived at the secretary's province, no one asked him why he came and what he had to do. Even if Fan Yu came in a crimson official robe, the people from their secretary province didn't buy it.
