Silently holding the teacup, he watched silently as Tang Ruji slapped himself there, although the guy's face was swollen to a long time, he never shouted to stop, because killing him would not relieve his hatred...... Since Ying Tianxiang was secretly plotted and almost ruined, Shen Mo began to secretly investigate the initiator behind it. Of course, his personal ability is limited, and if he really wants to find out, he has to rely on Lu Bing's Beizhen Fusi to do it.

After receiving the task, Beizhen Fusi first tortured the cheating candidates, and from the candidates' confessions, it was found that the exam questions were purchased from some bookstores that specialized in selling imperial examination books...... Because the people of the time were keen on the imperial examination, such bookstores were all over the capital, and every year of the big competition, many pre-examination reference books such as "Famous Teacher Prediction" or "Champion Guess the Question" would be launched, and they would take the opportunity to make a fortune. While doing this kind of serious business, these bookstores also deal in some shady things, such as selling all kinds of cheating tools, hiring 'gunmen' for candidates, and even contacting soldiers, transcriptionists, and examiners in the examination room...... The invigilator can pass the exam paper on his behalf, and the transcriber can mark the exam paper, and then the examiner will select the candidate according to the mark.

The imperial examination has been carried out for thousands of years, and the corresponding cheating has also developed to the point where each performs its own duties and cooperates in the division of labor.

Almost all of these cheating candidates are old customers of the bookstore, and they have spent a lot of money in the store and bought a large number of various prediction books, hoping to get away with it. On the last purchase of such books, they were brought into the small black house, became VIP customers, and were personally recommended by the boss, saying that there was the most authoritative pre-exam prediction, three hundred taels a copy, guaranteed to hit all!

We said that most of the scholars are well-off, and there are many people who can afford the three hundred taels, but nerds are not stupid, and it is impossible for you to obediently take out this large sum of money just because of your yellow teeth and white teeth.

But the owner of the bookstore had already prepared, and they actually issued a 'guarantee post', that is, a guarantee letter, and those candidates took it and looked at it, only to see that it was clearly written: '...... Today received three hundred taels of silver, set up this as a photo, and then verify with this post, if it does not match the original silver returned. There's also the bookstore's bell mark underneath, and it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.

These examinees said in their hearts: 'These bookstores are old for many years, and it is impossible for them to run away for this money.' Then they all paid and threatened the shopkeeper, saying, 'If this is a deceitful fake, don't blame you for being unsympathetic.' ”

The bosses patted their chests and said: "We have been in this business for hundreds of years, and there have been mistakes, but the credit has never been discounted!" You can rest assured, keep the real thing, Tong Su is not deceiving! ”

So the candidates bought the exam questions, asked someone to make the papers, and then brought them into the venue, but they were caught by the high sense of responsibility of silence and the eyes of Zhu Jiuye's eagle!

The target is the exam bookstore, but he can't arrest people directly, because Jiajing has already set the tone...... Look at the investigation, don't make a noise! But this is not difficult for the historic Jinyiwei. You have to sigh that their powerful surveillance capabilities in the capital are simply sensational. They may be your old neighbors for many years, or they may be loyal old servants, they are everywhere, they are everywhere, they make you unguarded - soon the inside will report that the information of these booksellers has been obtained from the mansion of the Marquis of Anping and the Marquis of Taiping.

As we all know, Anping Hou and Taiping Hou are Yan Shifan's hardcore playmates, and they are so good that they share a woman; Wu Shan has already admitted that he gave the exam questions to Yan Shifan, and the two are linked, and it seems that the case can be closed - it was Wu Shan who gave the exam questions to Yan Shifan, and then Yan Shifan gave them to Anping Hou and Taipinghou, and then the two leaked the exam questions to the bookstore.

But Lu Bing's eyes are old and spicy, and he knows the person involved very well, he doesn't believe that Yan Shifan can cause such a big disaster for this little money. So he excused himself by inviting the two marquis to hunt, and sent them to the suburbs, and under some intimidation, he got the truth of the matter. It turned out that the two of them did it...... A few days before the exam, they received a letter from Yan Shifan, saying that they had questions for this year's township examination, and they wanted to ask them to sell them on their behalf and deposit the money in the designated account of 'Huitonglian'.

The two looked at it, and there were three imperial examination questions attached to the back, and they said that the opportunity to make a fortune had come. These old children, relying on the merits of their ancestors, have always been lawless, and they do not consider the consequences, so they distribute the examination questions, which led to the final case of cheating in the imperial examination...... Lu Bing got the original copy of the letter and the leaked exam questions, and after reading the letter carefully, he could be sure that it was not written by Yan Shifan...... Although there is no difference in handwriting, Yan Shifan has always called people by his name, and will never be called 'Brother So-and-so', even if it is a letter, it is the same, there is no madness, but there is a sourness, obviously someone forged Yan Shifan's documents.

Yan Shifan is not a famous calligrapher, and there is no calligraphy in the world, so Lu Bing deduced that those who can be so familiar with his font and can imitate it fluently are likely to be the people around him, and their status is not low!

So the powerful Jinyi Wei was launched again, and soon obtained the handwriting of everyone around Yan Shifan, and the appraisers who specialized in this art screened them one by one, but the result made Lu Bing look forward to it - the fake was not from these people's handwriting!

With the idea of giving it a final try, he expanded the scope of comparison, found out those who had been by Yan Shifan's side and now moved elsewhere, and then used their handwriting to screen, and this time finally got the desired result - several appraisers unanimously determined that the one who forged Yan Shifan's letter was Tang Ruji, a friend of the Yan family and the current attendant of King Jing's Mansion!

There has been a major breakthrough in the case, as long as they follow Tang Ruji's line, I believe that the truth will not be far away, but Lu Bing stopped the investigation and did not allow them to investigate further...... Because if King Jing comes out, he will really be difficult to ride a tiger!

Now King Yu has no heir, the only grandson of the emperor is the son of King Jing, as long as this situation does not change, then King Jing will be as stable as Mount Tai! Because it is impossible for the emperor to choose a heir without a queen and repeat the tragedy of Emperor Zhengde, even if King Jing does another one, as long as he does not want to kill the king and usurp the throne, Jiajing will never touch him.

Lu Bing has to think about the future, once this matter is stabbed, it will completely offend King Jing, in case it is this King Jing who will be the one who will be the great treasure in the future, then his Lu family will be completely tragic...... So he didn't want to look any further.

The Metropolitan Governor gave an order, and the case came to a standstill. Shen Mo was very concerned about this matter, and when he came to the house to inquire about the results, Lu Bing did not hide it from him, and told him the results of the investigation, and said apologetically: "The matter involves the royal family, it is not good for us to be courtiers to investigate, brother, you have to be considerate of the old brother." Lu Bing knew that Shen Mo was a very reliable guy, so he was not afraid that he would not have a door.

After getting such a result, let alone the silent depression, so I stayed at home all day during that time, and I couldn't raise my interest to go to work, and this feeling of not being able to take revenge after suffering a loss was really bad.

Then he was appointed as the priest of the country, and then went to the court to participate in the ...... In fact, before that court push, he had no hope at all for Governor Su Song. On that occasion when strength speaks, he is a small wine priest who speaks softly and has no right to speak at all.

But the development of the situation took a turn for the worse, and Yan Dang did not act according to the script written by Xu Dang, but achieved a big turnaround, which caught Xu Ge off guard and made a big mess! Silent but in this chaos, he found a God-given opportunity for waste utilization, made up his mind in the lightning, and sent Qiubo to Xu Jie, and finally got the opportunity to speak, and then borrowed the game of several forces to push Tang Ruji to the throne of Governor Su Song in one fell swoop!

Some said that he was currying favor with King Jing, some said that he was recommending materials for the country, and some thought that he didn't know what to do, but no one guessed that after finding Tang Ruji's death hole, what Shen Mo recommended was just a puppet!

Silent in the study.

Tang Ruji's arms were cramping, so he had to stop and said: "Brother Shen, I am helpless in this matter, the people above forced me to do it, if I don't agree, they will kill me." ”

"There's no need to pull it on others," Shen Mo sneered: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and their accounts will be settled in the future, and I only care about you now!" ”

Tang Ruji thought about it for a while, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Shen, let's be honest with you, these things were instructed by our prince to do it, if you pursue this matter, it will inevitably involve our prince, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

"I can't help your lord." Shen Mo saw that he still didn't give up, and sneered: "But it's more than enough for you to play to death!" As he spoke, he slapped a stack of thick documents on the table and said: "Don't think that Your Majesty is reluctant to deal with King Jing, even you are reluctant to move, I'm afraid he will hate you, the villain who instigated his son to go down the evil path, and your dear Royal Highness King Jing will also put all the responsibility on you and let you be his scapegoat!" ”

Tang Ruji thought about it, with King Jing's temper, he would definitely abandon himself without hesitation, and the last trace of reliance in his heart disappeared, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, kowtowed to Shen Mo and said, "Spare your life, Lord Shen......"

"Tell me what happened." Shen Mo said slowly: "Let's see if you dare to lie now." ”

"How dare I?" Tang Ruji told the truth of the matter as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube...... The initiator of this matter is really Jing Wangye, as mentioned earlier, during that time, Jing Wangye was upset and irritable, endocrine disorder, and looked at the silence that he couldn't provoke, and he actually threw himself into the arms of King Yu, and he was even more angry, and then under the support of Shen Mo, King Yu's words were getting better and better, and the stumbling blocks that he gave him were all moved away silently by the person surnamed Shen, and it is said that Shen Mo also had to find a miracle doctor Li Shizhen for treatment for King Yu.

After getting the news, King Jing couldn't sit still at all, he couldn't watch King Yu continue to be comfortable, let alone let Shen Mo find Li Shizhen again, so he found Yuan Wei and discussed with him how to get rid of Shen Mo and deal a heavy blow to King Yu's Mansion.

Yuan Wei is not a three-year-old child, he knew that this matter was not trivial, so he did not agree on the spot, but just said that he would go back and think about it and find a complete solution. I thought it was a slim matter, but when I wanted to sleep, someone sent a pillow - he discovered the secret of Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

This is not unusual, because he has been in the Ministry of Rites for several years, and Wu Shan has just parachuted in from other departments, so it is almost impossible to hide something from him. That said, Wu Shan deliberately went to the yamen to get off work, sneaked into the confidential room, opened the sealed exam questions and copied them, thinking that he was unaware, but he didn't want to be seen by a scribe who had something to do temporarily, and told Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei was overjoyed, and wanted to report to the cabinet and take Wu Shan to replace him, but after thinking about it, it is not a glorious thing to report the boss, I am afraid that if I rashly expose it, it will only hurt others and benefit myself, which will be too boring.

So he didn't say anything, but went back and thought about it all night...... He knew that Wu Shan secretly went out of the test questions, and eighty percent of them were instructed by Yan Shifan, so that he could use them to gain favors or cultivate cronies. You can use this to make a good article!

After some repeated deliberations, he finally came up with a plan to hide from the world and the sea! He also used his identity as the second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites to steal the test questions, and then handed them to Tang Ruji, who was familiar with Yan Shifan's handwriting, and ordered him to write two letters to Yan Shifan's sworn friends in Yan Shifan's tone, so that they could spread the test questions and sell them to as many candidates as possible!

If the silence did not find the entrainment that day, the invigilator also had his subordinates, who would find the plagiarized candidates during the inspection, kick the matter out, and arouse a big case!

The purpose of his doing this, in addition to satisfying King Jing's request to retaliate against Shen Mo and attack Yuwangfu, there is also a more important reason, which is to make Yan Dang and Xu Dang fight against each other because of this matter! Because he is the leader of the Jingwang Party, although he cooperates with the Yan Party, he is not a vassal of the Yan Party, but a third force outside the two parties. If he and the King Jing Party want to rise quickly, the only way is for the Yan Party and the Xu Party to fight each other, and he is a good fisherman!

In that way, even if the two parties will not lose both, they will still give themselves the opportunity to profit from each other because they regard each other as mortal enemies...... What's even better is that the responsibility is all on Yan Shifan and Wu Shan, and he is innocent and not subject to any suspicion...... He even felt that even Yan Shifan would only consider himself unlucky, and would not guess that he was calculated.

But this talented man with low eyes obviously underestimated those wolf-like opponents: Shen Mo did fall for the trick without realizing it, but with his superhuman calmness and wisdom, he forcibly pressed down the big case that might happen, and entered the palace as soon as possible to obtain the emperor's understanding, and then calmly escaped unharmed.

And Yan Shifan also immediately noticed that someone was behind the scenes, but he was just overwhelmed by Jiajing and Xu Jie, and he didn't have time to care about him, so he didn't notice him for a while, and because he was in a hurry to ask for help, he gave away the book of the Ministry of Rites that he had been thinking about for a while, which made him happy for a while.

What's even more terrifying is that he seriously underestimated the ability of Lu Bing and Jin Yiwei, in his opinion, the seamless plan was flawed everywhere in Lu Bing...... Tang Ruji knelt on the ground and said with a sad face: "Lord Shen, Lord Jing and Yuan Wei are both temperamental, if I don't listen to them, they can really put me to death, at that time, I was cowardly and confused, so I committed such a crime against you, Lord Shen." You can spare me this time, I will definitely change my past wrongs......" said and gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Loyal to His Royal Highness King Yu!" Always obey your commands......"

He is not a stupid person, he suddenly understood, and after silently grasping the evidence of his crimes, he kept quiet, but pushed himself to be the governor of Su Song-didn't he just want to be Su Song's emperor?

Silent said, 'You have finally gone to the Tao. Then he said in a deep voice, "If there is no basis for my words, why should I believe you?" ”

"I can put it in writing!" Tang Ruji got up and wrote before the big case...... But he was interrupted by silence: "It is natural to be loyal to Prince Yu, but you should obey Lord Gao Gonggao, not my command." He said insincerely: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"Oh, I see." Tang Ruji nodded, and after a while, he wrote a note: "I, Tang Ruji, a native of Lanxi, will always be loyal to His Royal Highness King Yu and accept the leadership and command of Lord Gao Gong. Then there is the payment and sealing.

"Let's press another handprint." Shen Mo said lightly: "This is more formal." ”

Tang Ruji searched around, but he didn't find the ink, so he had to look at Shen Mo pitifully.

Shen Mo made a gesture of biting his fingers, he had to grit his teeth, bite his thumb off, press a bloody handprint on the paper, and hand his hands to Shen Mo for inspection.

Shen Mo took a look, shook his head lightly and said, "It seems that sincerity is not enough," said and threw it aside, took a blank piece of paper again, and said: "I just bit my mouth, so let's write a blood book." ”
