Zhou Mingwen was invited to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for tea, and then, the Ministry of Rites fully cooperated, and all officials who might have been cheating in the imperial examination went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report one by one.

Although His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation, many candidates still gather in front of the Ministry of Rites or the Tribute Academy, waiting for the results of a closer investigation.

Xiao Rui's worries also happened, and sure enough, some candidates from Hangzhou reported Qian Leopard, saying that he was shallow academically, how could he be on the list? Therefore, the golden leopard was also summoned by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but after having sufficient psychological preparation, the golden leopard was fearless and calmly entered.

Xiao Rui has already said hello to Hao Yun and Song Ci, it is not difficult to keep the money leopard, according to Xiao Rui's calculations, in the end, only the six candidates can be found to have cheated, so it is unlikely that the fame of the imperial examination will be abolished, as for Zhou Mingwen, hehe, you don't need to guess to know the ending.

In the next two days, the fraud case was the top priority in the national capital, gathering everyone's attention.

However, Xiao Rui had already shifted his focus, and took a carriage with Jia Xu and Guo Jia to Limin Street in Xicheng District, and stopped at a street corner. Li Yuanfang, who was driving, was very familiar with this place, and walked along the street entrance, which was the entrance to Wei Dabao's private vault.

Inside the carriage, Jia Xu lifted the curtain, and the three of them also looked at the house where Wei Dabao's private vault was located, and after a while, they put it down, Xiao Rui asked: "Mr. Wenhe, the treasure entrance you locked according to the ink map is here?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right! Although a long time has passed, I found three ancient ruins in the national capital, determined the location of the ink map, and then combined the current map of the national capital to finally determine the location. ”

"Didn't His Highness say that to go to Wei Dabao's private vault, you need to go through a Yongdao, that Yongdao has been around for many years, it is not built by Wei Dabao privately, does it have anything to do with Mozang?" Guo Jia reminded.

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "That corridor is not long, it only connects two houses, it feels very strange, if it really has something to do with Mozang, it must not be an ordinary passage, there are other cats." In this way, let Li Yuanfang explore the situation at night, and we won't go down. His own vault has been moved clean, and Wei Dabao is likely to send someone to spy on this place, so we should not show up. ”

"Good!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded, and then ordered Li Yuanfang to drive home.

After curfew.

Li Yuanfang sneaked here in a night suit and entered the Yongdao again, this time to observe the Yongdao carefully.

This Yongdao made of big bluestone is only two meters high and more than one meter wide, and the space is a little narrow.

Li Yuanfang carefully checked the surroundings and could judge that there was no problem with the entrances and exits on both sides, so if there was a problem, it would be on this forty or fifty-meter-long road.

He struck the bluestone, and the sound was very thick, indicating that the back of the bluestone was not empty, of course, it was also possible that the big bluestone was big and thick. Li Yuanfang also felt that there was a problem with this road, and the mottled traces on the big bluestone showed that it was very old, definitely more than the founding history of the Great Xia Kingdom, which was founded for more than 500 years, and the Jiang State was destroyed in the past, and then it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so looking at the traces, it is very likely that it was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Li Yuanfang inspected the big bluestones in the corridor one by one, not letting go of the upper and lower left and right, and it took more than an hour to finally notice the subtle difference!

In the middle of the corridor, there were two bluestone knocking sounds that were more brittle than the others, although the brittle was very slight, but it was still noticed by Li Yuanfang. In addition, these two bluestones sink to a half-penny height compared to the other bluestones around, which further verifies Li Yuanfang's guess.

However, he tried to hit hard, kick hard, and even slash with a knife, but the two pieces of bluestone did not move.

Half a meter long and wide bluestone, I don't know how thick, if the bottom is really a treasure entrance, it is still difficult to pry open with manpower, unless you use tools to dig it specially, or use gunpowder to explode directly.

Li Yuanfang checked the other big bluestones to make sure that he didn't lose other important clues, and then immediately left here.

Back in the Xianwang Mansion, Li Yuanfang told Xiao Rui about his discovery, Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia nodded, it seemed that the speculation came true, and the treasure of the ink was indeed under the Yongdao.

"It's not a problem to send henchmen to dig up, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a day or two, in case Wei Dabao sends someone to monitor there, the leaked whereabouts will not be beautiful." Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Then don't be in a hurry to open the ink store, I will leave Beijing in the next few days, the matter of the ink store will be put on hold for the time being, and when Wei Dabao is destroyed in the future, you can rest assured that you can dig it." ”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia naturally have no objections.

In fact, as Xiao Rui guessed, Wei Dabao did install Dongchang spies nearby, although he already knew that it was the King of Chu who stole his silver, and he also retaliated, but how could this satisfy Wei Dabao, those silver were all his hard work. So he arranged for spies to secretly monitor, and if he found someone returning to the same place, he would retaliate.

If you can't take revenge on the King of Chu, then take revenge on those who moved away their silver!

At this time, Xiao Rui thought of Wuyazi, and said: "The Yang organization wants the ink box, saying that it will give this king a meeting gift in the next few days, but it has been a few days, and it is still delayed, and there is no trace, could it be that the other party is unwilling to come to the soft one, and plans to rob it hard?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "It may be that the meeting ceremony is not easy to prepare, so it was delayed." The Yang organization was born from Moyang, and it is inevitable to get the Moyang box, and they also understand that it is difficult to rob hard, plus they still want to cooperate with His Highness, so they will definitely not do stupid things. I believe that the longer it drags on, the richer the meeting gift. ”

"I think so too! Moreover, the advantages of winning over the Yang organization outweigh the disadvantages, and you can plan well. Guo Jia also smiled.

Xiao Rui said: "Mr. Wenhe, after Feng Xiao and I leave Beijing, you will be responsible for everything in the capital, and I will be tired of you." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Your Highness's words torture me, it is my honor to be valued by Your Highness, I stay in the capital without wind and rain, not from turbulence, Your Highness and Fengxiao, Yuanfang have traveled a long distance, that is hard." ”

After a pause, Jia Xu bowed to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, you must take good care of Your Highness!" ”

Guo Jia picked up Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wenhe, please get up quickly, do you and I still want to make this big gift?" ”

The two kept this motion, looking at each other and smiling.

Xiao Rui blinked,, did I find any bad signs!

I hope that these two people are sympathetic to each other, not heart-to-heart.

"Why does Your Highness have such an expression?" Jia Xu got up, saw Xiao Rui's expression, and asked curiously.

Xiao Rui hurriedly shook off his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I just made a joke in my mind." ”

Jia Xu nodded, and didn't ask more: "According to the speed of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is estimated that there will be results tomorrow, and it is impossible for them to delay the time for too long. ”

Guo Jia said: "I estimate that tomorrow morning, the court will discuss this matter!" ”

"Then I have to go to the morning court tomorrow, although I don't want to get up, but it is also an interesting thing to see Xiao Yiheng's sad expression, haha..."

In this way, the time came to the next morning.

Xiao Rui came to the noon gate, and the morning court in the past few days was also extremely dull because of the imperial examination fraud case.

Xiao Yiheng seemed very lonely, he had broken his heart these days, although Zhou Mingwen resolutely refused to admit the leakage of the test questions, but the facts were a foregone conclusion, and all the evidence pointed to his son, and it was useless for him to deny it.

The two uncles are finished, and the mainstay that supports him has collapsed, even if there is still the support of his grandfather's Zhou Mansion, as well as Li Mingde's Li Mansion, as well as the White Tiger Marquis, and the Queen Mother, but the power collapsed so quickly that Xiao Yiheng felt a deep chill hit, looking left and right, but he couldn't find an opponent at a loss.

This time, although it was Xiao Lie and Xiao Jingdong's hands, Xiao Yiheng felt that there was a terrifying black hand in the secret, manipulating all this, which made him feel deeply frightened.

Last night, he went to see Xi Guogong, the grandfather of the former cabinet scholar and secretary of the ministry, and solemnly warned him: From now on, keep a low profile, and stop any plans or actions!

If it was before, Xiao Yiheng would have listened, but he might not have done it, because his advantages were far superior to others, so why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue?

But now, heeded his grandfather's admonition and will definitely keep a low profile!

Thinking of the current situation, Xiao Yiheng sighed, and when he inadvertently swept over Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing, the two of them had smug smiles on their faces, and they even gave themselves a bright smile.

Damn it! Two brutes!

As soon as he finished scolding, Xiao Yiheng snorted, became ruthless himself, and even scolded himself.

Soon, the drums sounded, and hundreds of civil and military officials entered the court.

Emperor Xia stepped on the morning sun and entered the palace, and with Hai Dafu's "play early if you have something to do, and retreat from the dynasty without anything" sounded, the early dynasty officially began.

The eyes of the other civil and military officials all looked at the young man of Zuodu Yushidu, and they all heard that the early dynasty would not be peaceful today.

Sure enough, Du Shao came out of the ranks, Yue Chong, Qing of Dali Temple, and Song Ci, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, followed suit, only to see Du Shao take out the music from the wide cuffs, hold it with both hands, and say respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the case of fraud in the imperial examination has been thoroughly investigated, and all the people involved in the case have been arrested!" Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

Hai Dafu immediately went down to present the recital, Xia Huang took it, opened it and took a closer look, and then said: "It is very good to investigate clearly in such a short period of time and sort out the context of the case clearly!" I believe that all Aiqing is also curious, Lord Du, it is up to you to state it above the early dynasty! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Du Shao received the order, and then said: "My lords, after the joint investigation of the three divisions, all the officials who participated in the imperial examination were closely investigated, from the officials who entered the Gongyuan to search their bodies, and then to the examiners who collected the papers, sealed them, transcribed, and marked the papers, investigated one by one, and finally determined and arrested the six candidates who participated in the fraud. After interrogation, six confessed to the fraud and found in the homes of three of them the title booklets, which had not yet been destroyed. And according to the six people recruited from the truth, their inscription book was purchased from Zhou Xingchen, the son of Zhou Mingwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites! When the six of them got the question book, they didn't know which questions were the official exam questions, so they spent money to hire students from the Reading Academy to do the questions, and memorized all the content of the questions, and did not use entrainment, private collection, and other means to bring them into the Gongyuan! ”

The prisoner Zhou Xingchen initially denied his crime, but in the end, when the facts were in front of him, he had to confess that he had stolen the inscription book of his father's right attendant Zhou Mingwen of the Ministry of Rites and sold it. During the investigation, it was found that although Zhou Mingwen of the Ministry of Rites was not directly involved in the fraud case, he did not keep the question book strictly, which led to the theft of the question book and the lax management of the family, causing his son to commit such crimes! ”

According to the laws of Great Xia, the six people involved in the fraud need to be removed from their reputations, wear flail for three months, and have a hundred rods, and then send them to the frontier to fill the army! And Zhou Xingchen's theft and sale of the exam question book was serious, and he knew the law and violated the law, according to the laws of Great Xia, he was decided! As for Zhou Mingwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, according to the law staff, one hundred will be dismissed and investigated! ”

After the young man Du finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the civil and military officials heard the rumors, they couldn't help but sigh at this time, Zhou Mingwen was completely finished.

Xiao Yiheng sighed and closed his eyes.

Emperor Xia put down the chapter, and then asked: "Lord Du has already made it very clear, you Aiqing and the prince, who has any objections?" ”

Who would dare to object?

The civil and military officials secretly looked back, waiting for Xiao Yiheng to make any moves.

But Xiao Yiheng always closed his eyes, kept in mind that he was low-key, and he would definitely not come out!

Seeing Xiao Yiheng's attitude, the corners of Emperor Xia's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a satisfied look. It was a lesson, and it seems that he had learned it, and that there was something to be gained.

Emperor Xia continued: "Since this is the case, let's draft the decree according to the results of the triage of the three divisions and announce it to the world!" In addition, the six fraudulent fame will be cancelled, and the candidates who will be on the list will make up for it, so the emotions of the candidates must be appeased. ”

"Yes!" The civil and military officials hurriedly surrendered their hands.

Next, several officials briefly reported a few things, and the morning came to an early and hasty end.

When leaving the Taihe Palace, Xiao Lie and Xiao Jing were victors, and the scenery was incomparable.

Xiao Yiheng walked in a low-key manner, without a look of anger and annoyance on his face, very calm. This made Xiao Rui very surprised, because the last time his uncle Zhou Ming resigned, he was angry, but now he is expressionless, could it be that this son was stimulated, and his heart suddenly became stronger?

If that's the case, it's a bit self-defeating.

However, Xiao Rui was also surprised, there is an old saying that is good: the nature of the country is easy to change, and if you want to change your nature, you will not change it if you don't experience an extremely serious thing, Zhou Mingwen was dismissed and investigated, which is not an extremely serious matter for Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Rui hung behind the crowd and was about to leave the palace, but was suddenly stopped by a chamberlain eunuch.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is invited, and please move to the Heart Cultivation Palace." The eunuch said.

Xiao Rui was stunned and asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

After speaking, Xiao Rui vaguely stuffed him with a silver ingot.

The eunuch said embarrassedly: "The villain doesn't know. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay, this king will go quickly." ”

His Majesty suddenly summoned him, could it be that he noticed something?

No way!
