With a loud "bang", the door of Liu Yuanjin's room was vigorously pushed open, Liu Yuanjin was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly looked up at the door, but it was his friend Zhu Xie who walked in, and at this time Zhu Xie's face was full of anger, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

"What's the matter, what's going on, you look like someone is collecting debts." Liu Yuanjin put down the book in his hand and made a rare joke.

Since the relationship with Liu Shiqi was stiff, the two left the Four Seas Inn and lived in the post station provided by the government for poor scholars for free, of course, the treatment here will not be too good, and four scholars are needed to squeeze into one room, however, it is a great luck to have a scholar in a high school in a room, like Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie.

Most of the scholars who live in the post station are from poor families, and after learning that they have failed the list, they packed up their things and went home early, the price of the capital is expensive, and the house does not need money, but there are many places to ask for money, so there are more rooms in the post station at present, and it is not uncommon for one person to live in one, Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie still live together.

Now that the list has ended, the post station can take back the house, but there are many poor children in high school in this scientific expedition, many of them are from the post station, and the post station will turn a blind eye, as long as you live and don't rush people, Liu Yuanjin is happy to be quiet, these days are rarely out, Zhu Xie is happy, anyway, he is already in high school, and he goes out to play around the capital at dawn every day, but there are a few times when he owes money to buy things, and he is chased to the post station, or Liu Yuanjin takes the money to make up for it, Liu Yuanjin will be so joking. "What kind of debt collection, Liu Yuanjin, you still have the heart to read, something big happened, you don't even know." Zhu Xie stared, snorting, gasping for breath.

"What's the big deal?" Seeing that the expression on Zhu Xie's face did not seem to be fake, Liu Yuanjin finally put down the book he was reading, but he didn't think so in his heart, the two of them had already been named on the gold list. What else is there to care about.

"There are rumors outside that there is a fake in this scientific examination, and the exam questions have already been leaked, and many of the scholars on the list have been selected by purchasing the test questions in advance." Zhu Xie hurriedly told the rumors.

"Nonsense, this matter has been concluded before the scientific examination, and the leaked exam questions are someone taking the opportunity to make money. It's not true at all, how can there be rumors ......" After a pause, Liu Yuanjin said again: "If it's true, it's Liu Shiqi instead of us, this kind of thing is probably done by some red-eyed people, anyway, it's none of your business or mine, Brother Xie." You don't want to get involved. ”

Zhu Xie smiled bitterly on his face: "Brother Yuanjin, you and I can't participate in the peace, it is rumored that the names of the people who buy the test questions are you and me, and now the soldiers are in a hurry, and they are gathering outside the Gongyuan to make noise, I heard that it was not good and hurriedly ran back, maybe someone will come to confront us later." Brother Yuan Jin, do we want to move a place, and avoid it for the time being. ”

Liu Yuanjin heard this coldly, and a thought passed through his heart: conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy here, but who did he offend, but he was involved in this conspiracy for no reason. "Except for us. Who else is said to be buying? ”

"Many, there are at least a dozen people's names circulating, and one scholar was recognized, and he happened to meet the scholar who went to the Gongyuan to fall into the list, and these people directly questioned the scholar. Let him admit to buying the exam questions, the gentleman didn't obey and was almost killed, but fortunately, the official arrived in time to stop it, I suspect that someone will find us later, why don't you avoid it first? Zhu Xie suggested.

Liu Yuanjin calmed down: "Avoid, can't avoid." If we avoid it, it means that we are weak-minded. Others don't know, but we are completely based on real skills. Why avoid it, I'd rather die than avoid it. ”

Zhu Xie sighed: "Okay, I knew you would be like this, I just asked you to be prepared when I came back, since you don't avoid it, then let's face it together." ”

"Good brother." Liu Yuanjin patted Zhu Xie's shoulder vigorously, and the two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding each other.

After a while, the footsteps of a group of scholars walked this way, shouting as they walked: "Liu Yuanjin, where do Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie live?" As he shouted, he kicked the door of the inn open, not at all as if it had been done by a scholar, but as if it were a robber.

The two of them understood, straightened their chests in the room, and were about to walk out, when a shout came from outside: "Who trespassed on the inn?" But it was the official of the post station management who rushed over when he heard the news, and then there was a sound of dispute, the voice of the scholar became weaker and weaker, and finally those scholars still turned around and left, although they were ready to face the questioning of other scholars, when they really heard so many footsteps, the two of them still broke out in a cold sweat, these people are many and powerful, and they are red at the title of the gold list of others, if they are just arguing, there is no ghost in their hearts, naturally there is no need to be afraid, but they are afraid that the other party will be unreasonable, and they will be solved with their fists, and they will suffer when they hear no sound outside, Zhu Xie opened the door, the whole courtyard was silent, the two looked at each other, and they were all relieved.

Today, the subordinates of the entire Zhongyong Bofu even walked with caution, everyone knew that their master was in a bad mood, if anyone did not commit a crime in the hands of the master today, it would be called suicide.

Thousands of scholars around the Gongyuan denounced, even with the well-informed people of the capital never thought that this situation would happen, Gongyuan, Jingzhao Chengfu is of course anxious, the life of the dark guards is not easy, the part of the rumors directly refers to the dark guards deceived the emperor, this rumor is very smart, it is ostensibly the responsibility of the emperor to take off, the spearhead is directly in charge of the scientific expedition of several departments, in fact, everyone knows that the scientific expedition is advocated by the emperor, such a thing happened, undoubtedly greatly damaged the emperor's prestige, the intentions can be described as extremely sinister.

It's just that these people can't catch it, and it's even more impossible to do what they do, with many years of experience in charge of the dark guard, Yuan Hao knows that there must be someone who is doing ghosts, and it is very likely that it is the same group of people who leaked the exam questions in front of him, and the top priority is to trace the source of the rumors, if it can't be dealt with quickly, the court will only become more and more passive, Yuan Hao will almost gather the heads of the dark guards, and what will be scolded is to scold the head and cover the face, and then set a time limit, and the source must be traced within three days, and then the head will be blasted out of the house.

The head of these dark guards usually comes to the Zhongyong Uncle's mansion rarely, and when they come over, they are scolded, and after they go back, they are also angry, and they scold the people below for a dog blood spray, and then find out the results within two days, and when they reach the hands of specific people, there is only one day left.

After scolding these leaders, Yuan Hao smiled bitterly, and he also cleaned up his clothes, and prepared to enter the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt, and he himself was ready to be scolded.

One of his subordinates hurriedly came: "My lord, the Dark-clothed Guard Baihu Wei Yun asks to see you." ”

Yuan Hao was about to go to see the emperor, if it was an ordinary hundred households, Yuan Hao might ignore it, even if he wanted to see it, he would have to wait until he came back from the palace, but Wei Yun was the first person to notice the leakage of the test questions, and now he came directly to the door, there must be something important to report, he hurriedly stopped the person who was preparing the carriage and horse: "Wait a minute, bring Wei Baihu over first." ”

"Yes." The Darkcoat Guard hurried down.

When Wei Yun walked into Yuan Hao's courtyard, he saw the carriage and horses being prepared in the courtyard at a glance, and he was glad that he had come at the right time, that morning, Wei Ling almost forgot what he said the night before, but Wei Yun remembered it clearly, these days, Wei Yun has struggled with the hesitation of reporting and not reporting, whether it is the dark clothes or the superficial business, Wei Yun is too lazy to take care of it, so that the subordinates who have been accustomed to Wei Yun's meticulous work secretly wonder, almost think that his boss and boss have changed someone.

When the rumors reached Wei Yun's ears today, Wei Yun knew that this scientific expedition could not be good, between the allegiance to the family and the emperor, Wei Yun finally chose the emperor, if he had not been expelled from the clan, it is difficult to say that Wei Yun would make such a choice, at this time, the interests of the family are greater than the imperial power, it is the common choice of the children of the family, which is also the reason why the dark clothes Wei chose not to be the children of the family.

"My subordinates meet the commander."

"Get up, what's the long story short, this official is going to rush to the palace." Although Yuan Hao met with Wei Yun, he had to be anxious in his heart, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Yes." Wei Yun knew that what Yuan Hao said was true, and hurriedly checked and told the things he had discovered that day.

Although he had expected it, Yuan Hao was still half stunned by what Wei Yun was reporting: "What, you said that the arson of the palace was the mastermind of the Wei family, can you guarantee that what you said is true, not hearsay?" ”

"The subordinates guarantee that what they say is true, if there is a mistake, even if the lord sends his subordinates overseas to do hard labor, the subordinates will never complain." For the dark guards in the capital, being sent overseas is already the most serious punishment, and it is even more unbearable than death.

"Okay, no need to say more, you can also enter the palace with this official."

"Obey orders."

To convict a Shangzhu general, it is impossible without definite evidence, and even if there is definite evidence, Yuan Hao needs to ask for a holy decree to take action against Wei Zisheng.

Hearing Wei Yun's report, Yang Yong was also furious, and he didn't count it on the head of the Wei family, Wei Zisheng stood on Yang Yong's side many times when Yang Yong was still the prince, and he was regarded as the emperor's henchman, but he didn't expect such a person to be centrifuged with himself because of the imperial examination.

"Come on, spread my will, immediately declare the Pillar Kingdom, and General Wei will enter the palace." Yang Yong said in an almost sneering tone.
