When Dong Zhenghao came to the front, more than a dozen officials of Jingzhao Mansion were about to break into it with weapons, no matter how Dong Da, Dong San and others said good things, the officials ignored it, the capital was still under the city of the Son of Heaven, and two murders occurred at once.

The murder was not issued in the inn, if the officials were allowed to break into the backyard guest room, the reputation of the Four Seas Inn would definitely fall, Dong Zhenghao hurriedly arched his hand: "A few officials, I don't know what happened, this is an inn, live on credibility, and I hope the officials will forgive me, don't worry about the guests." ”

"You're the boss?" The chief official asked.

"It's the villain." Dong Zhenghao nodded and said, in the face of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion, he is still just a small common man, and the different identity of the dark clothes guard is enough to ensure that he can get back to the field after relying on the people of the Ming clothes guard after he gets unfair treatment, of course, some small losses are helpless.

"That's good, we found two corpses, some people say it's your inn guys, you can identify them." Seeing the boss come out, the officials were polite, the Four Seas Inn is very famous in the capital, there are often high-ranking officials and nobles, and the officials are not too offended, the reason why they want to break in just now is because they are worried that the boss will escape, since the people have come out, the officials are naturally much more polite.

Dong Zhenghao's face was embarrassed, now the chief is waiting in the secret room, it's just that something happened to his guy, if he doesn't go over to take a look, it seems too unkind, not to mention maybe he can get any clues from the guy's body, he beckoned: "Dong Da, I'm going to the yamen, if the guests have any needs." You are solely responsible. ”

He deliberately accentuated the title of the guest, naturally asking Dong Da to recruit Wei Yun and the others, Dong Da nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, boss, the villain knows." ”

When Dong Zhenghao came back again, it was already midnight, Wei Yun and the three of them were still in the secret room and did not leave, seeing Dong Zhenghao coming back, Wei Yun hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Dong Zhenghao had a sad expression on his face. Xiang Wei Yun confessed his guilt before saying: "Lord Hui, the two subordinates of the humble position died so miserably, one of the wounds on the ground penetrated the front and back, and the other person was also stabbed several times, and the humble position thought that the person who betrayed the test questions was not a single person." It must have been done by a group of people. ”

Hearing that it was a weapon, Wei Yun's face also became solemn, and he comforted: "Lord Dong, don't be too sad, they all died for the emperor's loyalty, and they died as they deserved. And dare to kill people, this matter cannot be delayed, this seat must be reported overnight, as for the aftermath of the two dark guards, then please Lord Dong, remember. Bereavement pensions can be generous, but their identities are strictly forbidden to be divulged to their families. ”

Dong Zhenghao nodded: "I understand, my lord, the matter of the test question ......"

Wei Yun raised a scroll of manuscripts in his hand: "No." Isn't it, the subordinates you have cultivated are good, but you don't have time to copy them, but forgive this gentleman for not daring to shout when he gets up tomorrow and finds that he has lost the test questions. ”

"Understand, even if he shouts, there is a way to shut him up." Dong Zhenghao's face showed a hint of cruelty. He counted the deaths of the two men on the three men who bought the questions. The emperor's holding of the imperial examination was to give the world's scholars a way to enter the officialdom in a dignified manner. It's just that some people want to be opportunistic, and such people are not worthy of being officials even if they are admitted.

Wei Yun nodded. patted Dong Zhenghao on the shoulder again to show comfort, put the exam questions into his sleeve, and walked out of the Four Seas Inn under the escort of Dong Zhenghao and several guys.

Although it is the middle of the night, but the street is still bright, after Yang Yong ascended the throne, except for the first year, non-special periods, there is generally no curfew at night, Suzaku Street, various green buildings, taverns and other consumption places are the most lively moments at this time, from time to time there are drunk men holding women, riding exquisite carriages whistling through the streets, and only at night, as the capital becomes more and more prosperous year by year, the carriage can basically only walk slowly during the day.

Seeing Wei Yun and the three of them come out, a two-horse carriage turned out in the dark, and the three of them hurriedly boarded the carriage, and the coachman lowered his voice: "My lord, where are you going?" ”

"Uncle Zhongyong's house."

Zhong Yongbo is Yuan Hao, the commander of the dark guard, usually people like Wei Yun rarely ask to see him blatantly, because in this way, the chance of exposure will be greatly increased, but now Wei Yun can't care about anything, and always thinks that the sooner this matter reaches the palace, the better.

"Yes." The coachman answered, flicked the whip, and the carriage ran quickly, overtaking the vehicles carrying men and women, leaving a scolding all the way, but Wei Yun and the others didn't care.

The next day, Yang Yong had just finished going down to the court, and Zhao Nian, the eunuch in the chamberlain, hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Yuan Hao, the loyal and brave uncle, asks to see you." ”

"Please." Yang Yong didn't want to think about it, because Yuan Haodi had a special identity and stood on the opposite side of the officials, so as not to embarrass everyone from meeting, or being too familiar, the emperor authorized Yuan Hao not to go to the court, but gave him the right to enter and leave the palace at any time.

"Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor! Banzai! Hooray! After a while, Yuan Hao came to Yang Yong under the guidance of the eunuch.

"Excuse me, Aiqing, get up, which minister has bumped into your hands today." Yang Yong asked jokingly, Yuan Hao has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and even some ministers were terrified when they heard that Yuan Hao had entered the palace.

"Emperor Xie!" Yuan Hao got up and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, this matter is very important, and I hope that the emperor will allow the ministers to play alone." ”

Hearing Yuan Hao say this, Yang Yong's face suddenly became serious, he waved his hand, and said to the left and right: "You all stand down." ”

All the palace maids and eunuchs responded, although Zhao Nian was the chief eunuch in the palace, he still didn't dare to stay, after exiting the palace, Zhao Nian was even more considerate to close the palace door, and after a while, only the emperor and Yuan Hao were left in the hall.

"What's the matter, Aiqing can say."

"Yes." Yuan Hao whispered the report he got last night.

"Why, there should be such things, damn it." Yang Yong slapped the table heavily, and stood up from the chair angrily, the first time he opened a science and was still a move for a hundred years, if there was a large-scale fraud, this one would probably become a joke for the ages, even if there were fake test questions, it would not be tolerated.

"The emperor is angry, although the thieves are rampant, fortunately, this matter has been discovered in advance, and it has not caused too much loss, and those who have spent a lot of money to buy and sell exam questions are also to blame, no wonder others, now they have shown their feet, as long as there are more people selling exam questions, Weichen is confident that he can be arrested and brought to justice."

Yang Yong sighed, his face was slightly aligned, as long as it was not a real leak of the exam questions, it was just someone taking the opportunity to cheat, thinking about the college entrance examination in later generations, how could there be a small number of people who were deceived, but there were only two lives, and the matter became serious.

"You said you brought the exam questions and showed them to me."

"Yes." Yuan Hao took out the exam questions from his clothes and raised them high.

At this time, neither the emperor nor Yuan Hao thought that this exam question would be true, and Emperor Gayin attached too much importance to the exam question, not only storing it in the palace, but also three layers inside and three layers outside for the Praetorian Guards to guard.

Taking the exam question from Yuan Hao's hand, Yang Yong looked at it casually, and then his eyes opened wider and wider, and he turned up quickly, his face became more and more pale, and finally threw the exam question to the ground with a bang, and roared: "Who is it, who has the courage to go against me?" ”

Yuan Hao also knew that something had gone wrong at the latest, except that the test questions were real, I was afraid that the emperor would not be so angry.

"Someone, someone."

"Your Majesty, the minions are here." Zhao Nian opened the door of the hall with a squeak and responded to Yang Yong, and at the same time, a group of palace maids and chamberlains also walked over from a distance.

"How did you come so quickly, could it be that you were eavesdropping outside the door?" Yang Yong's eyes stared at Zhao Nian and said viciously.

Zhao Nian's face was pale, he was half frightened to death, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, the slave has always waited in front of the emperor, and he knows the rules well, how dare he eavesdrop, please forgive the emperor!" ”

Yang Yong not only participated in the questions, but also all the test questions were finally determined by Yang Yong, he was very familiar with the exam questions, the test questions in front of him were almost a copy of the exam questions, in addition to Yang Yong himself, who else could have full access to the test questions, more than ten officials who made the questions lived in the palace and were not allowed to go out, not to mention that each of them was a part, so who could have full access to these people and get the exam questions outside the palace.

Yang Yong turned his gaze to Zhao Nian in an instant, this matter must be combined with the outside world, and Zhao Nian is undoubtedly the only person other than the emperor who has the opportunity to completely take the exam questions out of the palace, and in an instant, Yang Yong's eyes were clear.

Zhao Nian didn't know it, he was kowtowing and pleading, he paid to know the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor's move was just to scare him.

"Someone, pass on my will, Zhao Nianmu has no emperor, inside and outside, now remove Zhao Nian's position as the chief eunuch of the inner servant, and hand it over to Zhongyong Bo for interrogation." Yang Yong said expressionlessly.

"Ah" Zhao Nian suddenly collapsed on the ground and handed it over to the Dark Guard, even if he is not guilty, he can get out of the crime, over the years, no minister has had a good fruit to eat after being targeted by the Dark Guard, let alone falling directly into the hands of the Dark Guard.

The eunuchs around, the palace maid looked at Zhao Nian with sympathetic eyes, unpredictable, I didn't expect the Zhao Gong Guild, which had been reused by the emperor, to suddenly fall, although there was a bit of sadness in my heart, but several of the eunuchs who were qualified to take over as the leader were secretly happy and straightened their chests.
