Finally delivered to the door, I saw a carriage waiting outside the post station, and the little coachman who was leaning on the side of the carriage saw Lou Wange coming out and hurriedly greeted him: "The little official can let the slave wait." ”

"Where's the Master?"

"The master said that the Shangshu Bureau had gone back in advance, and let the servants stay in these petty officials and come out. The petty official came out so late, but what happened in the literary hall? When the little coachman asked, he glanced at Yue Da on the side, and he was slightly angry and blamed, without guessing, he knew that Lou Wange must have been in trouble and delayed, and he had nothing to do with the person next to him.

"No, it's just that the petty official got lost in the museum, and it's been going around for a long time." He hurriedly dodged that gaze and explained, but he didn't mention Lou Wange's humiliation, after all, it didn't have a good impact when it came out. But there is a slight doubt in my heart, a squire is just lost, and this coachman dares to question him so boldly?

"That's good, let's get in the car quickly, don't let the master wait for a long time in the Shangshu Bureau." The little coachman made a gesture of invitation to Lou Wange.

"Okay, Yue Caizi, please go back too."

In order to prevent suspicion, the carriage went directly back to Shangshu Mansion and rushed straight to Zou Fuzi's courtyard. As soon as Zou Fuzi saw Lou Wange coming back, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and got up: "The National Teacher is back, is things going well?" ”

"I underestimated the group of boys in the Wenguan, is the Shangshu Mansion so unworthy of respect in their eyes?"

Hearing the anger in her words, he hurriedly took a cup of tea: "The national teacher is angry, is it that those people are disrespectful to adults, I will go to the museum to give them a wake-up call." ”

"No need, I came directly to ask, Yue Da, who has been taking the exam for ten years in the Sibing Mansion, I don't look like a shallow learner, but he has a bit of insight and courage, although he is a little reckless. Why haven't you succeeded in the exam for so many years? "She's not really angry, those people are not in her eyes.

"Alas, this Yue Da is indeed a talent, and his talent is indeed top-notch, because the Si Bingfu is not far from this Shangshu Bureau, he often comes to the Shangshu Bureau to ask for advice, no, everyone in this Shangshu Bureau knows him. But somehow, every time he went to the palace exam, he would always play abnormally and lose his ranking. It's a pity—"

"Didn't the emperor ask you to remove your name?" Lou Wange always thought it was the emperor's order, and Yue Dacai tried and failed. Listening to what the master said, it should be Yue Da's own problem. Judging from his words today, it doesn't seem like it was voluntary, what the hell is going on?

"Master, then I will go back first, and later you will ask someone to send the details of all the people in this literary examination to the National Teacher's Mansion, including their identity and background, family background, and all the examination papers and their results for the primary and secondary selection. Remember, I want all this information, not a single one. ”

"This-" The master hesitated a little, these materials are the internal audit materials of the Shangshu Bureau, and they will not be leaked, even the emperor does not have detailed these, she suddenly wants them, it is really a little difficult to decide.

"Huh? Isn't it possible? ”

"Yes, of course you can, but this information is important, and I ask the National Teacher to return it to Shangshu Bureau as soon as possible after reading it, preferably before the palace exam, and we can also summarize the results."

"Yes."

"Undercurrent, are you ready for the national exam?" Beichen was half-lying and asked lazily.

"Yes, master, everything is ready, I personally went to see Wen Qing, the eldest son of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and explained many things to him, and there will be no mistakes." Undercurrent replied.

"Then have you found out who the National Teacher chose to cultivate?"

"No, there is one thing that is very strange, it stands to reason that the masters of the Wenguan are the masters of the Shangshu Bureau who take turns, but in the past few days, the scholars are all sitting in the Shushu, I heard that Zou Fuzi also brought a beautiful writing attendant, and that squire is a newcomer to the Shangshu Bureau."

Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "No wonder, no wonder, the National Teacher has been unwell for the past few days. It turned out that the idea was on the side of the Bunkan. ”

"What do you mean by that, master?" The undercurrent is incomprehensible.

"Do you think, she proposed this selection of Master Sikong from among the top candidates in the literary examination, so she naturally has to strictly supervise this matter?" He sat leisurely in the soft chair, as if he had seen through all the intrigues of Lou Wange.

"Oooh. I get it. The undercurrent suddenly dawned.

"Undercurrent, you go and find out who that squire has seen in the Library? What was done? Also, say hello to the Bunkan, and say that the prince will go to see them in a few days. Looking at the undercurrent, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes."

"I heard that you've been riding a horse with Midori for a few days?" He looked down and saw that Undercurrent was wearing another pair of riding boots today, and asked casually.

"Yes." Undercurrent lowered his head, a little shy.

"What have you been doing lately?" He tentatively asked.

"No, no." Undercurrent hurriedly knelt down.

"Well, I don't mean anything else, since I said that I won't care about you and Midori, I won't ask more. But you have to be clear, you have to distinguish between private affairs and state affairs, and if there is any change over there, you still have to report back to me in time. He knew that he couldn't stop the emotional thing, but once the relationship would affect his plan, then he had to do something to stop it. In the past few days, the undercurrent has been getting shorter and shorter, and the mind of doing things has become more and more sloppy, so I have to be reminded.

The undercurrent is smart, and naturally heard the warning in these words: "The slave is wrong, and the slave must do his best to do everything the master explains." ”

"Hmm." He nodded: "What did Gong Jing Zhong, who asked you to check a few days ago, go to Hanxue Pavilion to do it, but what did you find out?" ”

"No, that day, Jing Zhonggong took Yunqi to the Cold Snow Pavilion, and when they met, they separated everyone, and no one knows what happened after that."

"Okay, find someone to keep an eye on Jingzhonggong, as well as in the Wenguan, keep an eye on Wenqing, as well as Su Yuehan, the son of Jiangnan County Cheng, and those top-notch ones, don't make any trouble."

"Yo, Beichen, I'm explaining the undercurrent again." Bei Duqing suddenly pushed the door and appeared, holding Tang Juan in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Beichen smashed the teacup in his hand towards Bei Duqing, since Tang Juan came back, Bei Duqing came to Qichen Palace less and less, there were many things during this time, he was anxious every day, and there was no one to discuss, this just happened to be arranged for Bei Duqing to come, aren't you angry.

"Ouch, what's that going on?" Taking the teacup, Bei Duqing sat unceremoniously on the side, ignoring Beichen's terrifying gaze.

"Are you willing to come over, are you here to see me busy?"

"Busy? Are you busy? I don't see it. Bei Duqing was in a comfortable mood and still quipped.

"Bei Duqing, you are a typical woman who forgets her brother, I can tell you, these things are not my business alone." Beichen looked at Tang Xuan, as if he was jealous.

"Beichen, don't be angry with your brother, he's talking about fun. I didn't come these days because didn't you ask us to help you check the affairs of Lou Wange and Nange before? We found a clue, and it was because of Shunteng's investigation that we didn't come these days. Tang Qian explained.

"Clues? But what did you find? ”

"Before, the second son of the South Pavilion, Danjue, was taken to the Hanxue Pavilion by Lou Wange, and he has been in the Hanxue Pavilion these days, we found that he had a deep friendship with Lou Qingqiu of the Hanxue Pavilion, and remembered that Lou Qingqiu was Lou Wange's only relative, so he went from Chalou Wange to Chalou Qingqiu, and went to check the Lou family in the Western Regions, which made a major discovery."

"What discovery?"

"Lou Qingqiu is Lou Wange's cousin, but according to our investigation, the way she gets along with Lou Wange is not like a relative, but more like a master and servant. Moreover, Lou Qingqiu has been in the imperial capital since ten years ago, and he is in charge of the Cold Snow Pavilion alone, no matter how we check in the Western Regions, we can't find Lou Qingqiu's parents, as Lou Wange said, her parents died one after another, so what about Lou Qingqiu's parents? ”

"Yes, I also asked someone to check on the Lou family in the Western Regions before, but I forgot about Lou Qingqiu. She was sent to the imperial capital at such a young age, and it is rare to see her return to the Western Regions for so many years, so what about her and her parents? Beichen was puzzled by what he said, and indeed they had never suspected the people around her.

"Beichen, although we didn't find Lou Qingqiu's parents, we found an important thing. Ten years ago, there was also a fire in the Lou family, after the fire, the Lou family was seriously injured, but only the lord and wife of the Lou family were rescued, and in that year, Lou Qingqiu was sent to the imperial capital. Bei Duqing said with a frown.

"So coincidentally?"

"Ten years ago, the Lou family was still a big family in the Western Regions that took all the black and white, and business was only a part of them, and there were many enemies-"

"Wait, Fourth Brother, let me think about it. Ten years ago, the Lou family caught fire, the lord and his wife survived, it stands to reason that they suffered heavy losses, how could they still have the energy to send Miss Biao to the imperial capital to manage the Cold Snow Pavilion? Beichen walked back and forth in the room, thinking, sorting out his thoughts.

"Could it be that the fire was committed by the enemy, and the Lou family and his wife sent her to the imperial capital in order to protect Lou Qingqiu?" North Twilight Qing guessed.

"Hiding from the enemy, and sending Miss Biao to the imperial capital alone? It doesn't make sense. He refuted Bei Duqing's speculation.

"The people in the Western Regions know very little about the affairs of the Lou family, and the people inside the Lou family don't know anything about it, even the maids and servants in the Lou Mansion are silent. I checked and checked and found here, and then there was no progress, so I came to you. ”

"Phew—that's a good clue, go ahead and look it up. Be sure to find out Lou Wange, this matter will be hard for the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. ”

When Tang Juan on the side heard this title, he sneered: "Just say this to you, I will dispatch all Luoxia Villa, and I have to help you find out." It's just that your fourth brother and I still owe Lou Wange a favor, and I don't know if we will investigate this matter-" She stroked her face, she really owes Lou Wange a lot of favors, these days are also difficult, and these checks are always bad for Lou Wange.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, why are you just investigating, this favor will be repaid sooner or later. I thought that this matter might have to bother the fourth sister-in-law to go to the Cold Snow Pavilion. Beichen raised his eyebrows and thought about it.

"How?"

"You come here." After whispering his plan, Tang Juan nodded: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow." ”
