Qin Bingyue heard Xuan Shijing's voice, turned around and went back inside, closed the door to the stands, walked to the table, and began to grind for Xuan Shijing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Xuan Shijing spread out the paper, lifted the brush, dipped it in ink in the inkstone, and began to write on the paper.

Xuan Shijing wrote down all the people and things related to the case on the paper, and then began to mark the connection between them, so that he was not afraid of leaving some of the details behind when considering the case.

Or how can it be said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, after writing it down, Xuan Shijing thought again, now that the case of cheating in the Chunqiu exam has not yet spread in Chang'an City, maybe not many people even know about it in the palace, does His Majesty Li Er deliberately not let this matter spread? After all, this is the first time that the palace examination has been held this year, and if such a thing spreads, it will not be a good thing for His Majesty Li Er to carry out the palace examination in the future, regardless of whether this matter is true or false.

Looking at the clues written on the paper, Xuan Shijing began to reverse the whole thing, for example, this matter was poked out, who was the most beneficial, who had an impact on whom, and if this matter was true, then, someone cheated in the Spring Exam, so in which link was it negligent.

If it is true, there are only two possibilities for cheating, one is before the start of the Spring Festival, that is, someone deliberately leaked the questions to the candidates who participated in the Spring Festival, and the other is that when the candidates were in the Guozi invigilation room, the candidates had a gunman outside, and they didn't know when and what method to use to contact the outside world.

Judging from these two possibilities, it seems that the former possibility is very large, and Xuan Shijing may not know on the third day, but in the first two days of Guozijian, the supervision is very strict, and on the third day, Xuan Shijing also believes that Li Ke has the first day, and in the next two days, Li Ke will be more careful, and in the examination room in Guozijian, there are also officials who invigilate the examination, and it is even more difficult to contact the outside.

Perhaps, there will be something to be gained from investigating from the officials of the ministry, especially those officials who have been in contact with and know the exam questions before the Chunwei exam.

But the most important thing at the moment is that you still need to talk to Xuanqing, maybe you can find more clues, and besides, the Zheng family who won the first place in the palace test also needs to find out about him, in short, any possible clues can't be let go, as for the officials of the Investigation Department, how can this matter be put to the end.

After thinking about this, Xuan Shijing also had a charter for this case in his mind, and instantly his mind became clear, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and Xuan Shijing put the brush in his hand on the pen stand.

"Master Hou understands it in his heart?" Qin Bingyue said out loud.

Xuan Shijing nodded and said with a smile: "Although I don't know the answer, I understand what to do next." ”

Qin Bingyue looked at the relationships and clues that Xuan Shijing had marked on the paper: "The first place in this palace exam is not in line with the Zheng family?" I've heard a few of that. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Xuan Shijing asked with interest.

Qin Bingyue has been in Yanlai Tower before, this kind of place is the most well-informed place for news transmission, in Chang'an City, whether it is a literati or a scholar, a dignitary, or a dignitary, they all like to go to Yanlai Tower to sit, cultivate and cultivate sentiment or something, a few people go to the table, and naturally they will talk about some things such as the height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes.

"That's what I overheard the steward of the Zheng family say in Yanlailou, saying that the Zheng family has a partial room outside, and it seems that he was kicked out of the Zheng family a few years ago, as for the reason, the steward said that he offended the main room, in fact, it is not a rare thing, in this kind of big family, it is normal for the partial house to be driven out of the house because of something, and now the main room of the head of the Zheng family is not a good person, after all, it is the continuation of the head of the Zheng family in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the original mother of the Zheng family died in her thirties because of dystocia, Only later did this sequel come about. Qin Bingyue explained.

"So, the first place in this palace exam is the son of the Zheng family master?" Xuan Shijing asked, "I look at that Jinshi, he must be in his thirties." ”

"When the head of the Zheng family was young, he was also famous for his absurdity in Chang'an City, it should be the child born with a concubine at that time, and now, it is normal to be older." Qin Bingyue said.

"It's true, a child who was born overnight is really worthless." Xuan Shijing said with emotion.

"It's normal." Qin Bingyue responded indifferently.

"So it was because he and his mother were kicked out by the Zheng family that there was a rift between him and the Zheng family? It looks like a bitter and bitter one, but if it's just like this, it shouldn't be. Xuan Shijing said: "Now that this person is in the limelight in front of His Majesty Li Er, the Zheng family has also shown a great favor and is willing to let him return to the Zheng family, but he doesn't seem to forgive the Zheng family at all." As he spoke, Xuan Shijing suddenly remembered that it was the head of the Zheng family who attended the banquet that day, that is to say, the two of them were father and son!

"Maybe there is something else, I don't know about this, Master Hou might as well let Jinyiwei investigate, this kind of thing shouldn't be difficult to investigate." Qin Bingyue said.

"What you said is right, I also think, there should be something else in this, otherwise the relationship between the two would not be so stiff at the banquet in the Imperial Garden that day, I attended the banquet held by His Majesty in the Imperial Garden that day, and I happened to see the head of the Zheng family also attended, and it seemed that there was a very unpleasant quarrel with Zheng Jinshi, you must know that whether it is a literati or a Confucian student, or a high-ranking official and prince of the court, "filial piety" is very important, and the father and son are so stiff on the bright side, and there is a matter in this, it's not an ordinary thing. Xuan Shijing pondered.

"What's the matter, especially in front of Your Majesty and the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, in this way, how unbearable the face of the head of the Zheng family should be." Qin Bingyue said.

"Although the investigation of these cases has nothing to do with Chunyu's cheating, if they are investigated, at least it can prove whether the Zheng family is innocent." Xuan Shijing said.

"So Master Hou suspects that the Zheng family intends to suppress this Zheng Jinshi?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "It's not impossible, if this Zheng Jinshi enters the court in the future and soars, this is a red fruit that slapped the face of the head of the Zheng family, slapped the face of the Zheng family, Bingyue, you said that after the banquet in the imperial garden that day, after the head of the Zheng family returned to the house, would he quarrel with his one." ”
