Chapter 678: Another Line

"Yo, Lord Yang! You can always come to the villain, it is really flattering to be small, and it is shining. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" While saying kind words, Ying Zhou walked out of the courtyard gate and greeted Yang Zhen from a distance.

This person who can ask Yang Zhen to come over to see him in person is Sun Hai's godson, the palace eunuch who has some friendship with Yang Zhen. Although in terms of status, he is far inferior to Sun Hai and Zhang Whale, who have recently won the trust of Wanli, but relying on the contacts accumulated in the palace for many years, he can be regarded as open, just looking at this mansion that is much more majestic than Yang Zhen's courtyard, you can know that he has gained a lot on weekdays.

But even so, when facing Yang Zhen, Ying Zhou's face was still full of humble and eager smiles, no way, who called his godfather and Yang Zhen extremely close, and even the emperor was impressed with him?

Yang Zhen also greeted him with a smile, and picked up Ying Zhou, who was still bent over: "Brother Ying is too polite, let's not be bound by this vulgar etiquette between our friends, and it's here, why call it an adult?" ”

Hearing him say this, the smile on Ying Zhou's face became a little bigger, and he straightened up according to Yang Zhen's words and said, "What Brother Yang said is that this is not the palace, so you don't have to talk about any identity, please!" As he spoke, he welcomed Yang Zhen into the door.

These few words are still very useful to him. Although the errand in the palace gave Ying Zhou a lot of benefits, his physical disability and the status of a slave still made him a little unable to raise his head in front of other officials and others. And this time, Yang Zhen was actually willing to be commensurate with his brother, which really flattered him, and his perception of Yang Zhen was better.

After entering the house with the other party and sitting down in the living room, Yang Zhen first greeted and praised the other party. This set of good words made Ying Zhou smile even more, but after laughing for a while, Father-in-law Ying still asked tentatively: "I don't know why Brother Yang came to me today?" But is there anything I need to do? ”

"What? Do I have to come to see you for something? Can't I just want to come and see you? Yang Zhen asked with a smile.

"Brother Yang laughed, I still know what kind of identity we are, you are a dignified brocade guard, not to mention the daily situation, but you are also busy enough, how can you find time to come to see me?" Ying Zhou smiled again, and then turned his face away: "Just for Brother Yang, you are willing to be commensurate with our brother, but as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." ”

"You...... I'm ashamed. Yang Zhen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then sighed again: "Originally, I really planned to only meet with you, Brother Ying, Lala." However, there are some things in my heart that I can't let go, so I want to discuss them with you. ”

"Brother Yang, please speak." Ying Zhou hurriedly put on a deaf look and waited for Yang Zhen to speak.

But the other party didn't speak immediately, just took his eyes and slipped around the servants in the hall. Ying Zhou then remembered that there were other people here, so he waved his hand, sent them out, and looked at Yang Zhen again: "Brother Yang, there are only you and me here, you just have to say it." ”

Yang Zhen straightened down slightly, and lowered his voice again: "Brother Ying should know that he tried a fraud case before, right?" ”

"That's nature. His Majesty was unhappy for several days, and it was not until these days or two that he did not bother with it. Ying Zhou hurriedly said: "By the way, I heard that Brother Yang is also involved in this incident, right?" ”

"I'm fine, or I wouldn't have come here to see you." Yang Zhen smiled, and then his face sank again: "But I'm not too happy in my heart, this time the matter is really bad, and it may be coming for me." ”

"Ah...... And this one? Ying Zhou's expression suddenly tightened, and he unconsciously felt a trace of remorse in his heart, it seemed that he shouldn't have said this to Yang Zhen. This kind of case of fraud in the imperial examination is not something that he can put in the palace eunuch, but it is a pity that the words have been said here, and he obviously has no way back.

Yang Zhen glanced thoughtfully at the other party with a slightly stiff face, but as if he didn't understand his thoughts, he continued to look at himself: "Exactly, otherwise how could I be sent on such a mission for no reason, and I happened to run into such a fraud case?" ”

Hearing him say this, Ying Zhou couldn't help but nod his head in agreement. Indeed, with Yang Zhen's identity, this kind of thing doesn't need him to come out at all, and it's really hard to say what it has to do with it. After being stunned for a moment, he still said tentatively: "But I don't know what Brother Yang means?" ”

"Being so calculated, I naturally can't be confused. Even if I can't fight back for a while, I'll have to figure out who did it. So I'd like to ask Brother Ying for your help to check it out. Yang Zhen finally said the purpose of his visit.

But Ying Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he pointed to his nose in some surprise: "Brother Yang wants me to help you investigate the case?" Are you kidding? How can I do this? Moreover, wasn't this matter handed over to the Criminal Department to investigate? Why do you and I interfere? This series of questions showed his great confusion and incomprehension, and even a little cringe.

Yang Zhen only couldn't see that the other party had the intention to refuse, but continued: "Of course I didn't ask Brother Ying to investigate the case, even if you have this ability, I don't dare to work on you." What I want you to check is the situation of some people in the palace, and only people like you who have been in the palace can find out about it. ”

At this point, Ying Zhou himself couldn't refuse, so he asked, "But I don't know what Brother Yang wants me to check?" ”

"First, find out who pushed me to the position of the trial prison, even if this person is not the person behind the fraud case of this meeting, he must have nothing to do with this matter."

After only a little hesitation, Ying Zhou agreed: "As long as you mention this matter to Your Majesty, or if you are in charge, we will be sure to help Brother Yang find this person." However, if he took the route of Zhang Gelao, this matter would be difficult to do. ”

"As long as Brother Ying is willing to help me check, Yang Zhen is very grateful, whether it is successful or not, I owe you a favor." Yang Zhen smiled and said, "In addition, there is a more important matter, which also needs Brother Ying's help to check it." ”

"Please." One sheep is to drive, two sheep is to release, Ying Zhou is much calmer this time.

"This test question will never flow out of the examination room, and other than that, it can only flow out of the palace, so I hope Brother Ying can pay attention to see if there are any suspicious people among the palace eunuchs who may have stolen the test questions from His Majesty, and whether they are out of the palace a few days before the exam." Yang Zhen finally said the most important purpose of his life.

When he instructed the people of the Criminal Department on how to inspect before, Yang Zhen knew that there was a place that Zhu Chen and they could not find, and that was in the palace. Because of their status, it is difficult for those eunuchs to accept interrogation, although the possibility that these people will help some officials to cheat in the imperial examination is extremely low, but in order not to leave a dead end, they still have to be investigated.

So, Yang Zhen thought of asking someone in the palace to check. This person's choice at the beginning was naturally Sun Hai, after all, he was closer to Yang Zhen and had more power in the palace. But after thinking about it, he changed his mind again, because Sun Hai's goal was too big, and it was likely that he didn't find out about it, so he was startled. Therefore, he retreated and asked for Yingzhou.

Some people will say that in this case, why did Yang Zhen surrender his identity to ask Ying Zhou, and directly ask Sun Hai to give an order to his godson?

They didn't know that this was where Yang Zhen was clever. It's just that it may be easier to ask Sun Hai to give an order, but Ying Zhou will never feel too much in his heart, and it is unknown whether he will do it completely with all his heart, and there will inevitably be some pimples between him and Ying Zhou. And now, bypassing Sun Hai and directly asking Ying Zhou for help is to elevate the identity of the other party, on the premise that his self-esteem is satisfied, he will naturally do his best to help Yang Zhen do things, and at the same time, the two have more friendship, why not? Even in the afterlife, the meaning of asking someone to help is different from asking your boss to tell you to do something. This kind of grasp of human feelings, the slightest difference, will often be wrong.

Moreover, when Ying Zhou was doing this, he would not report to Sun Hai, so that he would not offend Sun Gonggong. So no matter what you say, except for the fact that you can't hang up your face, everything is so appropriate. And Yang Zhen has always only focused on practical profits, and as for some false fame on face, it is not considered at all.

Sure enough, after listening to Yang Zhen's request, although Ying Zhou still felt a little embarrassed, it was not easy to refuse, after all, this matter could be done by himself. So in the end, he nodded vigorously: "Since Brother Yang has said so, let's try our best to help you check." As long as someone really does such a thing, he will definitely not be spared this time! ”

"So I'll leave everything to Brother Ying." Yang Zhen solemnly thanked him, which made Ying Zhou feel even more satisfied, after all, there was still a big gap between the identities of the two sides, and he was naturally quite excited to receive Yang Zhen's salute.

After gossiping with this father-in-law to get closer to the relationship, and then enjoying a sumptuous wine and dinner in his house, Yang Zhen, who was slightly drunk, said goodbye in the moonlight after the first shift.

After hearing that the Ying servant had closed the door, Yang Zhen couldn't help but turn around again and look back at the house that seemed a little secluded: "Now, all the lines to track down this fraud case have been buried, and it's up to us to see who can find the flaws." In the end, whether the person who wants to deal with us is from the palace or from the imperial court, I think it won't be long before there will be an answer! When he turned back again, Yang Zhen's eyes were already clear, and there was a trace of essence in his eyes......
