Chapter 268: Mutual Distrust

"Have you seen Yuwenshu?" Gao Hui asked nervously.

Mu Shouli shook his head, "Yu Wenshu didn't see me at all, his subordinates only saw Yu Wenhua, he said that his father was very disappointed, doubted our sincerity, and asked us to give an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for the two sides to cooperate again." ”

Gao Hui was secretly annoyed in her heart, and asked again, "What does the Yuan family say?" ”

"The subordinates found Yuan Min, and he said that their head of the family was also very annoyed by this matter, and asked us to find out who killed Liang Jingyao? And who leaked the secret? In a word, if we don't give an explanation, the Yuan family will not be able to cooperate with us. ”

Gao Hui's bang! He slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Who leaked the secret, if I find out, I will have to skin him!" ”

"Madame, please calm your anger, my subordinates have a little idea."

Gao Hui forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The subordinates feel that the leak is a bit strange, the other party is very accurate, obviously knowing Liang Jingyao's specific itinerary, and there are three places in this itinerary that may be leaked, one is Yecheng, one is us, and the other is Yuwenshu.

Only my wife and I know about it here, and we will definitely not leak it, so either Yecheng leaked the secret, or Yuwenshu leaked the secret, and the subordinates preferred the latter. ”

"Why?" Gao Hui asked puzzled.

"Because the subordinates suspect that it was Yuwenshu or the Yuan family who first leaked the news that we were going to use the Liang Zhi case to make trouble, so that the other party was prepared, if it was leaked by Yecheng, the other party didn't have time to prepare, what does Madam think?"

A sentence reminded Gao Hui, and Gao Hui immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You're right." Obviously, they leaked secrets and caused a big deal, and they blamed us for it, and they asked us to give an explanation, how can I explain it to them? ”

Mu Shouli continued: "The subordinates originally thought that it was Zhang Xuan who did it, but then after thinking about it carefully, the subordinates felt that it may not be Zhang Xuan's doing. ”

Gao Hui was also a little stunned. She also thought that it was Zhang Xuan who did it, after all, this matter was aimed at Zhang Xuan, he was the biggest suspect, and now Mu Shouli's words immediately confused her, "Why didn't Zhang Xuan do it?" ”

Because Zhang Xuan did not bring his men to Luoyang, there were more than 30 ambushers, and this ambush was very well arranged, and they actually used tea sheds. This is a very powerful ground snake can do it, Zhang Xuan and they don't have this ability. ”

Gao Hui pondered for a moment, nodded and asked, "Then who do you think it will be?" ”

Mu Shouli had been in Luoyang for many years, and he knew more about Luoyang's power structure than Gao Hui, so he said slowly: "I suspect that it was the Guanlong nobles who did it!" ”

"Wuchuan Mansion? No way! ”

"The subordinate does not refer to Yuan Min, but to another faction in Wuchuan Mansion, Madame should know that the proximity of the Bohai Society and the Yuan family will make many people panic."

Gao Hui understood what Mu Shouli meant. "You said Dou Qing did it?"

"The subordinates are only suspicious, and there is no evidence. And with Dou Qing's hidden power, it is reasonable for Yuan or Yuwen Shu to leak secrets to him. ”

"But what should I do?"

Gao Hui said angrily: "Do you want me to tell Yuan Min or Yuwen Shu that this matter was done by Dou Qing, it was a secret leaked by you, and it has nothing to do with me." Can this matter be left alone? ”

"This-"

Mu Shouli was also a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "My subordinates think that they can let it go first, and they are not in a hurry at this time." ”

Gao Hui snorted heavily, turned around and walked out, if she wasn't for the truth. It's about solving the crisis at hand.

Mu Shouli sighed helplessly, he found that Gao Hui's temper was too short-tempered, she didn't want to listen to it again before she finished speaking, how could she know that she had no other way?

He hurriedly chased after him, "Madam, there is another important matter for my subordinates, which is about the Yuan family. ”

After returning to Luoyang, Zhang Xuan thought that the revenge of the Bohai Society would follow, but to his surprise, there was no movement in the Bohai Society, and the killing of Liang Jingyao disappeared like air, without causing the slightest turmoil.

In the Bibo Wine Shop, Xu Yin smiled and shook his head, "General, you underestimate Yuwenshu, he is not a reckless man, he can live for so long, and he has always been trusted by the saint, just because he has the shrewdness you can't imagine, Liang Jingyao's plan failed, and it was only the failure of the Bohai Society, and it was also the matter of the Bohai Society to deal with you, and it had nothing to do with him Yuwenshu, he would never trap himself in this matter." ”

"So he's not moving any now, is he?" Jang Hyun asked with a cold face.

Xu Yin nodded, "He didn't even see the people from the Bohai Society coming to the door, he had already completely brushed himself off." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yin reminded Zhang Xuan in a serious tone: "The Liang Jingyao incident is actually led by the Yuan family, and I want to bring you down in exchange for Yuwenshu's promise to destroy the Heroes Society, and now that you have not succeeded, then Yuwenshu will not take the risk of destroying the Heroes Club again, but this does not mean that the Yuan family will stop, so as long as you have the heart to observe, you will find that the Yuan family will continue to cooperate with the Bohai Society, but not for you." ”

"It's to sabotage the Heroes!"

Xu Yin laughed, "The general can wait and see!" ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly discovered that this Xu Yin is actually an extremely powerful character, especially good at perceiving people's hearts and planning various conspiracies, it would be a pity if such a talent was not used for himself.

Although Zhang Xuan was moved by the idea of cherishing talents, he did not show it immediately, he pondered for a moment, and smiled at Xu Yin: "I have an idea, maybe my husband and I can work together to do a very wonderful thing." ”

Xu Yin bowed and saluted, "I am willing to cooperate with General Zhang!" ”

........

In the spring of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, the imperial examination was finally successfully concluded, and more than 100,000 scholars began to wait anxiously for the release of the list.

The business of the Zhuangyuanlou wine shop near Taixue is particularly hot, because some inside news often breaks out here, and it is nicknamed the second official office of the Guozijian by the scholars, many scholars who want to inquire about the news will come here to drink, so that the wine shop is crowded with drinking scholars from morning to night.

In desperation, the shopkeeper had to temporarily dismantle the elegant room and remove the hoarding between the wine tables to make the lobby of the restaurant larger and accommodate more guests.

At noon on this day, the champion building was crowded with hundreds of scholars, some came to drink, but more came to inquire about the news, the lobby was noisy and noisy, extremely lively, there were several scholars sitting by the window on the second floor, all dressed in bright clothes, wearing precious swords, looking arrogant, the person headed by Cui Wenxiang, and several other people were also the children of Hebei famous scholars.

Cui Wenxiang was a little sullen, drinking one glass after another, although the lobby was very noisy, but their table was very dull, no one spoke, and they were all preoccupied.

"Brother Cui, let's open it!"

Bai Xinyang, who is as thin and tall as a bamboo pole, persuaded in a low voice: "Most people didn't do well in the exam this time, and there are many complaints, mainly because the questions are too biased. ”

Cui Wenxiang sighed, "Don't persuade me, I know in my heart that this time I was not prepared enough, and it is normal to fail the test." ”

Li Qingming picked up his wine glass and smiled slightly: "As long as the world is still the world of the family, what if those poor children do well in the exam?" If there are no children of the Boling Cui clan in the admission list, then this imperial examination will fail, so I am not worried at all, the imperial court will definitely balance the interests of the children of the family, otherwise the Sui Dynasty will be completely abandoned by the family, and now the world is unstable, and today is not the time for hypocrisy. ”

"Qingming, what do you mean by that?"

Cui Wenming stared at Li Qingming sharply, "Did you hear any news?" ”

Li Qingming is the son-in-law of the Li family of Zhao County, and his uncle Li Gu served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and was one of the examiners of this imperial examination, so Li Qingming said this, which immediately aroused the interest of several friends around him, and everyone asked: "Qingming, what is the good news to talk about." ”

Li Qingming took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I just heard the second uncle say casually before, saying that when today's son is forced by the situation, he has to pay attention to the famous family and begin to consider the interests of the family, and this imperial examination will inevitably reflect the idea of the Son of Heaven. ”

Everyone nodded, "It's still clear and clear!" ”

At this time, a soldier sweating profusely squeezed over, it was Lu Qingyuan, and he saw that his face was full of excitement and said: "Everyone, there is good news!" ”

Lu Qingyuan's father, Lu Zhuoguan, served as the Guozi Supervisor of Sacrificial Wine, which is equivalent to the Minister of Education in later generations, and is also the chief examiner of this imperial examination.

The crowd immediately pulled him to sit down and asked urgently, "Tell me, what good news?" ”

Lu Qingyuan bought a pass, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip, and then smiled and said to everyone: "Absolute inside information, the saint just made a decision this morning, and this time the imperial examination will admit 2,000 people. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other, it was incredible, the imperial examination admitted more than 100 people at most, why did 2,000 people be admitted this time?

"Qingyuan, you're talking nonsense!" Everyone scoffed.

Lu Qing shook his head, "This is what my father told me personally just now, if you don't believe it, forget it." ”

Everyone still can't believe it, what is the reason for admitting 2,000 people? How could the Great Sui have so many official positions.

Li Qingming asked silently: "Qingyuan, has the official examination been changed?" ”

Lu Qingyuan nodded, "Exactly!" In the past, it was directly awarded by the Ministry of Officials after admission, but now it is only qualified to be awarded after admission, but how to award the official is also selected by the Ministry of Officials. ”

Everyone suddenly understood that the officials would definitely choose the children of the family, this is what Li Qingming said, the Son of Heaven compromised with the family. (To be continued......)
