Chapter 380: Clues

arraignment, the third prince will not, so he has to observe.

The master who was entrusted with the important task had a bitter face, and when he saw that everyone was imprisoned in the same prison, he even scolded the arrester for dereliction of duty, so that the candidates had the opportunity to collude with each other.

Scholars are not easy to mess with, so the master is temporarily postponed.

Accustomed to seeing the big formation, the flower girls put on their clothes and threw their eyes, so dry that the master's face was red. An apricot eye flower girl came out of the crowd, "What do you want to ask, just ask, the sisters will never hide what they know, even if we go back late, we will be scolded by our mother again." ”

"To make a long story short, can you listen to the scholars of Anheyuan ask questions related to the imperial examination?" The master sat down and went straight to the point.

"No, I didn't." Xingniang twisted the handkerchief and said, how can the drunken words between the beds be taken seriously.

At the beginning of the apricot girl, the flower girls were bold and chattered, even if a certain son was not married but raised an outer room child who could run on the ground, there was no private act to leak the topic.

Holding melon seeds, the three princes are relishing and wonderful.

Let go of the flower girls, the master began to interrogate the candidates, and the scholars are much more difficult, all of them have a big reason with a belly, which makes people dizzy, and it is the turn of the fake Xiao Wang, who sells Li Sheng as usual.

"Brother Li is such a good person, he has always said that I will be the champion of the future."

"If I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had, I couldn't help but take it seriously."

was instantly focused on, Li was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and he cautiously responded to the master's practice and questioning, his mouth was tighter than that of a river mussel, and even the master's question was dry, and he was still nothing.

The master who has no tricks asks for help from the three princes.

With a wave of the third prince's hand, the candidates were escorted back to the cell again, and he also had to go to someone for help. ran Ruoyulou and then Su Mansion, and finally found Su Zhiyu, and the third prince complained pitifully.

"Brother-in-law, you must help me, you don't know how hateful that group of candidates is, they quote scriptures and classics, all of them are not words, I haven't figured out the previous sentence yet, and the next sentence is coming." The third prince was angry with a little envy.

If he wants to have this eloquence, he will be able to persuade Emperor Shengxi to be a comfortable idle prince.

He forgot that the emperor's order was difficult to do.

seemed to have been prepared, knowing that the third prince came back for help, Su Zhiyu took out a booklet again, and the booklet wrote the range of activities of Li's usual friends.

At first glance, Li Sheng is a very well-behaved person, almost all of them wander around Anheyuan, pulling them to help candidates eat and drink all day long, and there is nothing out of line. Su Zhiyu circled Chen Shusheng, who had the most contacts with Li Sheng.

Chen Shusheng, he remembers.

The seemingly innocent existence in the Zhang Niangzi case.

Later, the secret guard was sent to investigate, Chen Shusheng's appearance was different, and the person left mysteriously, slippery like a loach, Su Zhiyu had to write it down temporarily.

"You check Chen Shusheng, and you will get something."

After getting the guidance, the three princes were overjoyed, this investigation was amazing, the place where Chen Shusheng went in and out the most during this time was actually the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Why is Prime Minister Su even involved?

The third prince was shocked, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable. Prime Minister Su Cheng is the prime minister of a country, and he is also a member of the literary world, if he wants to know about the imperial examination, it is easy to know the situation of the imperial examination, and his casual words can also make the candidates ecstatic and reap a rich harvest.

Maybe Chen Shusheng used this method.

After the results of Shun Yishun's case, it was determined that he could give an account to Emperor Shengxi, and the third prince immediately saw the palace saint, and he was so anxious that he couldn't even inform Su Zhiyu

The imperial study is terrifyingly quiet.

"You said that the answer to selling the imperial examination was that Prime Minister Su Cheng was behind it?"

"I'm very disappointed in you, Imperial Brother, you've been busy all these days and you've come up with an empty speculation? Do you know what the crime of slandering important officials of the court is? If this is at the court meeting, even the emperor will not be able to protect you. ”

Emperor Shengxi's face was gloomy and terrifying.

In the entire Zhao Kingdom, except for Su Zhiyu, can't find a single one that can be used?

was so angry that his heart hurt, Emperor Shengxi didn't want to mention Yang Cheng at all, snatching a credit from Su Zhiyu and handing it over to him could be messed up, what a waste!

Bow to Su Zhiyu?

He wasn't happy.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Emperor Shengxi ignored the trembling Third Prince.

Grievances, I want to say, the third prince doesn't understand and has come up with an answer, why is the royal brother still not satisfied? Could it be that Brother Cheng hopes that Su Zhiyu did this?

Ridiculous, ridiculous.

Anyone is possible, but Su Zhiyu is impossible.

Otherwise, with his great military exploits and reputation among the people, he would have already raised his arms and became the Ninety-Five Supreme, the third prince was shocked, he looked at Emperor Shengxi in horror, how could the imperial brother suddenly suspect Su Zhiyu to think......

"Why don't you get out of here, you won't solve the case if you leave me here?"

"Give you seven days to find out about this matter, otherwise the prince will be guilty of the same crime as the common people." Driving away the three princes, Emperor Shengxi is out of sight and out of mind. absolutely

Returning to the palace like a wandering spirit, the third prince fell into Ru Ya's arms.

No matter how Ru Ya asked, he didn't want to say anything, he hugged Ru Ya to mess around in the daytime, and his refreshing daughter was intoxicated. Hearing the sound, the grandmothers' faces were red and white, but they didn't bother.

The tired Ru Ya fell asleep, and the third prince went to find Su Zhiyu refreshed, he must prove that the imperial examination was a ghost played by Prime Minister Su Cheng, and it had nothing to do with Su Zhiyu.

To find evidence, Anheyuan must go.

Energetically dragging Su Zhiyu to Anhe Garden, the third prince said: "You need to check the investigation site, the imperial brother is about to make me angry, he must not believe my investigation results, I must prove that I am not wrong." ”

"Let's go to Li Sheng's room first, and then go to Chen Shusheng's." Su Zhiyu shook his head, without conclusive evidence, no one would believe that the respected Prime Minister Su Cheng would do something deviant.

Li Sheng's room didn't look like a scholar.

Books are scattered all over the house, some of them have footprints, luggage is even less visible, and the clothes are all bells and whistles.

Since cooperating with Ruoyulou, the tide of Heyunbuzhuang has risen, and an ordinary piece of clothing costs five taels of silver. The investigation showed that Li Sheng's family background was average, and it was not a problem for Li Sheng to study, but it was impossible to provide Li Sheng with luxury.

There are hundreds of these clothes, and a rough estimate of them must also have a thousand taels of silver, and the third prince muttered, "Li Sheng is also worthy of being a scholar?" Where did he get the money to buy such clothes from Yunbuzhuang? ”

The catchers responded to the call, and found several large silver tickets in Li Sheng's room, adding up to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

found a breakthrough, the eyes of the third prince lit up.

Turning his head and going to Chen Shusheng's room, everyone felt a little comforted, just like a reader.

Books were neatly placed on the desk, carefully covered with cloth towels by their owners, the wardrobe was vacated for books, and clothes were stacked haphazardly on the bed. Just a finger on the ground, immediately there is a thin layer of ash, this house has obviously not been inhabited for a long time.

Like a fish penetrating, the catchers turned things in the house lightly, and they were completely different from Li Sheng's room. Chen Shusheng was very cautious, he didn't leave any flaws, and the catchers returned empty-handed.

The breakthrough is only Li Sheng.

Following the third prince to the yamen, Su Zhiyu planned to see how the third prince interrogated Li Sheng, but he was disappointed.

What can be the result of talking to Li Shengche?

Replacing the third prince, Su Zhiyu went straight to the point, "Li Sheng, you should understand your situation, I have already had definite evidence when I came back from Anheyuan with the prince, and now I will give you a chance to reform yourself." ”

"Don't expect Chen Shusheng to help you get away with the crime, he has already absconded, and the room is piled up with dust, presumably he has made up his mind to let you bear the charge alone. Don't think that Chen Shusheng still has to participate in the imperial examination, he is a guilty person, and there is no chance to participate. ”

In a few words, Su Zhiyu watched Li Sheng collapse with satisfaction.

Looking for you to make sure that Su Zhiyu didn't lie, Li Sheng cried and explained everything spinelessly, regretting that he didn't kill Zhang Sheng at the beginning.

According to Li Sheng's confession, he was only responsible for finding candidates in need, and the follow-up was all handled by Chen Shusheng alone, and he also took out the answer that Chen Shusheng gave him.

Looking at the answer, Su Zhiyu raised his eyebrows and touched the emperor's mind accurately.

There is only one person who can guess the emperor's mind like this, but he has no reason to do so, Su Zhiyu can't guess it.

"Are you sure Su Zhiyu went to Anheyuan and then to Yamen?"

"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

The search of Anheyuan attracted much attention. Prime Minister Su learned that Su Zhiyu had intervened, and immediately entered the palace to face the saint, and it was a pity not to participate in Su Zhiyu's book.

Unfortunately, Emperor Shengxi was not in the imperial study.

"Do you know where Your Majesty is? I have something important to tell Your Majesty. Prime Minister Su Cheng looked for a familiar palace person to talk to.

The prime minister laughed, how could the slave know His Majesty's whereabouts? Recently, the queen mother has been sick with wind and cold, and Her Majesty must be distressed. "The palace people didn't seem to say anything, but they made everything clear.

Prime Minister Su Cheng was thoughtful.

Waiting for Emperor Shengxi in the imperial study, Prime Minister Su Cheng wiped his tears and reversed black and white and said: "Your Majesty, you must not tolerate Su Zhiyu's wolf ambitions, he interfered in the matter of Anheyuan without regard to His Majesty's will, and also abducted the three princes to frame the ministers, wanting to get rid of the ministers, and also wanting His Majesty to separate from the three princes, killing two birds with one stone, it is really ruthless." ”

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will give you an explanation." Emperor Shengxi was furious, and he didn't forget to let the secret guard verify what Prime Minister Su said.

When the secret guard reported that what Prime Minister Su said was true, Emperor Shengxi's eyes turned black, and he staggered back and sat down on the chair, so he didn't see Prime Minister Su's cruel sneer.

Daughter, my father will soon be able to avenge you.

Thinking of his daughter who died stupidly in the harem, Prime Minister Su Cheng was in tears, and he couldn't wait to strangle Emperor Shengxi to death with his own hands immediately. Yang Cheng's words suddenly sounded in his ears, and he could only comfort himself that the time was not right.

Emperor Shengxi was also struggling.

He really didn't want to believe that Su Zhiyu had such ambitions.

"Chuan I ordered Su Zhiyu to be grounded in Su Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without an edict, and Du Ruonan enjoyed the same treatment." As soon as the order came out, Emperor Shengxi was extremely tired, "Now that there is no solid evidence, Prime Minister Su, you will return to your home, I will order someone to investigate carefully, and I will never wrongfully accuse the innocent." ”

Accept it when he sees it, Prime Minister Su Cheng is satisfied and follows the palace people out of the palace, he has to see Su Zhiyu grounded with his own eyes to feel at ease.

It's a pity that Su Zhiyu's skills can't be used by him.

Otherwise, why bother.
