In the dungeon of Dali Temple, Di Renjie led people to beat Pei Xingjian and Xu Jingzong into the dungeon separately, Pei Xingjian, who was wearing prison clothes, watched the cell door close, Di Renjie left expressionlessly, and did not say a word.

Breathing in the humid air of the cell, Pei Xingjian sat on a pile of hay and thought about the origin of this fraud.

Pei Xingjian, who was relatively calm, Xu Jingzong panicked and grabbed the cell door and shouted to the outside, "We are wronged, someone framed us!" Pei Xingjian, tell them quickly, we are wronged. ”

Pei Xingjian raised his head and glanced at Xu Jingzong, who was noisy at the door, and shook his head to signal him to be quiet.

Xu Jingzong was puzzled when he saw Pei Xingjian's eyes, this kid is so calm?

Picking up a stone on the side, Pei Xingjian wrote a few words on the wall: calm, think, wait, and the water will come out.

Xu Jingzong is not a stupid person, seeing these words, he thought in his heart, this is inexplicable, he did not cheat, Pei Xingjian won the first place in this imperial examination and was directly appointed as the Chang'an Order, there will definitely be people who are red, and Pei Xingjian came out of the academy, and it is inevitable that he may want to deal with the academy, the academy participated in the imperial examination for the first time, there was a scandal like fraud, and people with a heart will definitely take advantage of it, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong the taste.

On the other side of the cell, Songtsen Gampo heard the noise just now, it should be that a new prisoner had come in, and every time the person who had just been arrested would shout and scream for a while, why did he quiet down so quickly now.

Outside Chang'an, Gu Qing sat in front of the academy, and Fang Zhizhi was playing a chess game.

"Old Master Kong Yingda and a group of old gentlemen are in a hurry, why are you so comfortable." Fang Zhizhi wondered, "Aren't you in a hurry at all?" Kong Yingda, the old master, wants to remove this Pei Xingjian from the academy to set the record straight! ”

There is no sign of this rain to stop, Gu Qing said in a low voice, "Brother Fang, don't you see it?" ”

"Should I see anything?" Fang Zhizhi wondered.

Li Tai also walked over and looked at the chess game between the two, "Rumors of drought, demons are haunting, too platinum stars, begging for rain, cheating in the imperial examination......"

Drought rumors, demons, and too platinum star warnings, these are all hinting at Gu Qing, this imperial examination fraud is pointing to Gu Qing's academy, Fang Zhizhi took the chess pieces in his hand and did not fall,

There was the sound of rain breaking in his ears, Gu Qing stretched out his hand to remove all the chess pieces on the chessboard, looked at the black and white chessboard again, and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong, Pei Xingjian, I." ”

Li Tai rearranged the four chess pieces on the chessboard, and the one on top was Li Er, and below Li Er were Xu Jingzong, Pei Xingjian, Gu Qing, and three chess pieces. Gu Qing was at the end, and in the middle were Pei Xingjian and Xu Jingzong.

"What's next?" Fang Zhizhi was suspicious.

Gu Qing picked up a chess piece and landed between Xu Jingzong and Pei Xingjian and said, "Officials! ”

In Chang'an, Di Renjie brought people to the Ministry of Officials, and the originally busy Ministry of Officials immediately quieted down and looked at the team of people one after another.

"Dali Temple investigates the case." Di Renjie said to them.

"Hurry up and report to the Zhongshu Province!" The servant of the Ministry of Officials said to the little officials beside him, and looked at Di Renjie, "You are so bold, you dare to trespass on the Ministry without Your Majesty's will!" ”

"What? I'm afraid to check, or you have a weak heart. Di Renjie looked at this servant.

"The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in the world!" The servant said, "If you miss a major event in the court, I see how you can afford the consequences." ”

"Check it out! Pick them all up and interrogate them! Di Renjie shouted.

There are six departments in the three provinces of the DPRK, and the Ministry of Officials is at the top of the six departments, and Zhongshu Province is also the top of the six departments of the three provinces, Fang Xuanling heard the panic report that Di Renjie had trespassed on the Ministry of Officials, and said lightly: "The old man knows." ”

"However, Di Renjie is so bold ......," said the official of the Ministry of Officials.

"Go down." Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said, "The old man will talk to Your Majesty." ”

"Yes!" The officials of the ministry withdrew.

In the Ministry of Officials, Di Renjie sat on the top seat of the Ministry of Officials and interrogated an official of the Ministry of Officials, "Tell me, who will take care of the test questions." ”

The official did not answer, and he was in his forties and did not say a word in the face of Di Renjie.

The other party didn't react for a long time, Di Renjie sighed, this was setting up a fight for himself, and said, "Take him down for me!" Break into the dungeon of Dali Temple. ”

"You dare!" He immediately shouted.

"Take it down!" Di Renjie shouted.

"Yes!" The officials of Dali Temple escorted people away.

The entire ministry immediately quieted down, and looked at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in surprise.

Di Renjie waved his sleeves and said, "Although I don't know if your officials are tired, but Your Majesty asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this case, if someone is still as stubborn as the one just now, don't blame me Di Renjie for being unreasonable." ”

Pei Xingjian was imprisoned, and the matter of Di Renjie's thorough investigation of the Ministry of Officials was immediately spread.

Academy

Li Tai looked at the chessboard and dropped another piece in front of the chess piece of the ministry, this is Di Renjie, "Gu Qing, do you see that if you get to this point, Di Renjie will find out nothing, but it will be a stalemate." ”

Nodding his head, Gu Qing agreed with Li Tai's words, and fell again, "As soon as the officials are in chaos, someone will take action." ”

"Who?" Fang Zhizhi was nervous.

"Who was the secretary of the ministry in the first place?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Zhao Guogong, the eldest grandson Wuji!" Li Tai immediately said his name, "Zhao Guogong went from the official department to the Shangshu, to the Sikong, and now to the Zhongshu Order!" ”

"The Ministry of Officials is the first place after His Majesty ascended the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to occupy a pivotal position in the court, and that place should be a lot of old affection for the eldest grandson Wuji." Gu Qing said with a smile.

Di Renjie was still interrogating one official after another in the ministry, and he saw a figure walking into the ministry, and at first glance, it was Sun Wuji, the chief of Zhao Guo.

"Zhao Guogong." Di Renjie saluted politely.

"You do your business, the old man just came here to check a few files." The eldest grandson Wuji said and sat on the side, without the intention of checking the file at all, and looked at the officials of the Ministry calmly, like a demonstration and a warning, silently telling Di Renjie that paying attention to the Ministry of Officials is not something you want to check.

Since the eldest grandson Wuji, the atmosphere of the entire ministry has changed immediately, and Di Renjie has temporarily stopped interrogation.

After the officials were quiet for a long time, another person walked into the officials' department, and this person was Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng walked into the officials with a strange atmosphere, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Zhao Guogong, this is ......."

"The old man came here to check a few files." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Zheng Guogong came here this time?" ”

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there was a scandal like fraud in the first imperial examination, and the old man came to give Di Renjie a message." Wei Zheng explained to the eldest grandson Wuji, and then said to Di Renjie, "Check it out!" Get to the bottom of it! ”
