Chapter 57

The Yamen of the Prudent Criminal Division is located two miles south of Yongding Gate, outside the city of Luoyang. Han Jian came to this place called the "Hades Palace" by outsiders for the first time, and from the outside, the Yamen of the Shen Xing Division looked like a big mansion, with high walls and deep courtyards, and even green trees. In fact, it is a spy training camp and a concentration camp, which is also the most mysterious place in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Responsible for receiving Han Jian and his entourage was Yu Han, the leader of the Yamen Department of the Criminal Division, Yu Han was also the nominal person in charge of the Yamen of the Criminal Division, but in fact, he was more like a "press spokesman" of the Criminal Division, and the real person in charge of the affairs was Ling Jun, the deputy chief minister of the Shangting Division.

In the cell of the Shen Criminal Division, Han Jian saw "Su" who was transferred here, as Han Jian expected, this person was not Su Tingxia, nor was it Mr. Su as described by Lin Xiaoshu. In the cell of the Shen Criminal Division, Han Jian didn't ask a word, and came out with Yang Xi, at this time Sima Yi and Lin Xiaoshu were waiting at the door of the Yamen of the Shen Criminal Division.

"How? See? Seeing Han Jian come out, Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Han Jian shook his head and said, "Let's talk about getting into the carriage." ”

At the door of the Yamen of the Shen Criminal Division, there were a lot of eyeliners, Han Jian didn't want to say too much, and when he got to the carriage, Yang Xi explained the situation in the Yamen of the Shen Criminal Division under Han Jian's instructions. Han Jian kept leaning against the wall of the carriage, as if thinking about something, and raised his head silently.

"That's weird, this is not Su Tingxia, and it is not Mr. Su, who is it?" After hearing this, Sima Yi looked at Han Jian in surprise.

Han Jian said: "You should ask now, where is Su Tingxia, so that the people in the Criminal Department want to find a fake person to impersonate him, and even spend his strength to turn it around, so that we can't track it down." ”

Yang Xi said on the side: "Could it be ...... Who is behind it and hid it? ”

"Behind the scenes?" Sima was interested when he heard it, "Who?" ”

Yang Xi said with a sad face: "This ...... I don't know. ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "If there is really a black hand behind the scenes, they are hiding Su Tingxia, then why go to Su Tingxia's residence to search?" I think it was Su Tingxia who hid himself, afraid of being found. ”

Yang Xi said: "I don't understand what Brother Han said more and more, since he has entered the examination room, even if he doesn't cheat, fraud is caused by others, and the defense around the examination hall is tight, and it is difficult for him to fly, how can he hide?" ”

Han Jian said: "I didn't understand my thinking before, but now I have a general direction. I offer a hypothesis, if so...... The person who reported the fraud was Su Tingxia? ”

Not only Yang Xi and Sima Yi, but even Lin Xiaoshu, who had been silent all along, was shocked by Han Jian's assumption.

"Su Tingxia reported cheating? This...... How can it be? Sima Yi said incredulously.

Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "Since Su Tingxia is alive, why did he take this exam?" What is the purpose of his test? ”

Yang Xi said on the side: "Brother Han is saying that Su Tingxia's purpose in taking the exam is to report cheating?" This...... Isn't it...... Can't explain it? ”

Han Jian said: "After the fraud case, why did the south warehouse of the examination institute catch fire? Was it really because of an accident? ”

There was a brief silence in the carriage, and after a moment, Sima said, "I understand. Does it mean that Su Tingxia knew that someone was cheating in the examination room, and in order to expose this case, he did not hesitate to report himself for cheating to attract the attention of the imperial court? ”

Han Jian sighed: "I couldn't understand why an honest person like Ruan Ping was also involved in this case. Now that I think about it, maybe someone knew about his relationship with me, so they deliberately dragged him into the water to make things bigger. ”

Sima Yi immediately said indignantly: "Young boy, do you mean that Su Tingxia deliberately reported Ruan Ping?" Fuck ......."

"Maybe it's not Su Tingxia himself, with his own strength, he can't pass the registration of the examination institute alone, and someone behind the scenes must help him. This involves the issue of party strife in the imperial court. Now it's just a hypothesis, and then it's time for us to find out. ”

Yang Xi said with a sad face: "Even if someone cheats in the examination room, the exam paper will also be burned." How to verify? ”

Han Jian looked out the window of the carriage, looked far away, and said: "The reason why Su Tingxia risked dying again and came out to take this exam is to report not only the fraud in this exam, if I expected it to be correct, the previous exams were also involved in fraud cases. We ask for a certificate, we only need to go to the Taixue Palace to find the papers of the previous sessions. ”

Yang Xi was stunned, and said happily: "Brother Han still thinks too much, why didn't I think about it?" Truly...... Su Tingxia died and came back to life, that was because he knew a lot of inside information, so he ...... It's okay if the exam paper for this exam burns......"

Sima Yu muttered, "Taixue Palace? It seems like in the palace, we can't get in......"

Han Jian said with a smile: "As Yang Gongzi, take us to a place like Taixue Palace, the outer hall of the palace, there shouldn't be any need to ask for instructions, right?" If we ask for instructions, and the people behind the scenes know our next moves, maybe there will be two eunuchs in the Taixue Palace who are not long-sighted to cook things inside......"

Yang Xi smiled shyly and said, "No, my sister said, as long as it is for the investigation of the case, you can act cheaply when appropriate." ”

……

……

The carriage finally stopped at the Yingwu Gate at the east gate of the palace, and the aisle behind the Yingwu Gate is also the closest road to the Taixue Palace.

A few people got off the carriage, and Han Jian first explained to the guards of the East Palace, and then prepared to enter the palace.

"I ...... I'll go back first. When Lin Xiaoshu saw the palace guards who were tightly guarded at the palace gate, he felt timid in his heart, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Let's go in together, multiple people and multiple helpers." Han Jian said, "I'll have to look through a lot of files in a while...... Forget, you are illiterate. I'll ask the guards to take you back. ”

Lin Xiaoshu was mentioned by Han Jian at this time about the ugly thing of "illiterate", and felt very ashamed, but she couldn't help it, being illiterate is illiterate.

Originally, Lin Xiaoshu was still timid, but at this time, she mustered up the courage to say: "I won't go back, I can help...... I...... I want to do my part. ”

Han Jian looked at Lin Xiaoshu, who was resolute, and probably understood her thoughts in his heart. She wanted to contribute to the investigation of the fraud case in exchange for his help to Lin Xiaoyun.

"Hmm. Let's go. After Han Jian finished speaking, Yang Xi had already gone over to greet the palace guards.

Yang Xi came over and instructed: "After entering, there will be guards accompanying us, try not to walk around." ”

"I understand." Han Jian said, "Now the focus is to hurry, to preempt the people behind the scenes to destroy the evidence......"

Yang Xi, as a guide, took Han Jian and others into the palace together. It was not the first time for Han Jian to enter the palace, but it was the first time for Sima Yi and Lin Xiaoshu, when they saw the high walls and green trees beside the corridor of the palace, Sima Jian was very disdainful, feeling that they were not as grand as their family.

Han Jian said: "This is just a corner of the palace, when to go to the main hall to see, it is called the atmosphere." ”

Taixue Palace is only one of the side halls of the Imperial Palace, not within the main palace wall, a huge fortress-like building, and a plaque that reads "Taixue Palace" is hung at the door. This is where Gongshengyuan and Taigakuin park materials, and there are also a lot of books, like a half-large library.

Outside the Taixue Palace, Yang Xi was about to go forward, but a few little eunuchs stopped him and refused to open the door.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive me, we can't call the shots......"

"It's not up to you again." Han Jian felt annoyed in his heart, "Who can call the shots?" ”

"I want to ask my father-in-law for ......"

Taixue Palace belongs to the cold place of the palace, that is, Yang Xi, who grew up in the palace, and he doesn't know who is the eunuch in charge of Taixue Palace. Yang Xi sighed and said, "Forget it, let's ask the guards to invite Gonggong Lu over, he should be able to speak." ”

I don't know who is the eunuch in charge of the Taixue Palace, so I invited the biggest eunuch in the palace over.

Han Jian was also afraid that Lu Shaokun would have influence in the government and the opposition and would affect the investigation this time, but after thinking about it, there was no other way now, except to run over the corpses of a few little eunuchs in front of him who were going to die or live.

Not long after, Lu Shaokun came over in a hurry, he was quite calm when he walked, but when he saw Han Jian and Yang Xi, he immediately looked like an old housekeeper, and stepped forward and said bitterly: "Sixth Prince, why did you come to such a place?" Investigating the case? Isn't the fraud case on the side of the examination institute? Just now, the third prince reported the results of his investigation to His Majesty, and the case seems to have been solved. It's just a few candidates cheating, it's not a big deal. His Royal Highness the King of the East does not need to worry, that friend of yours has been confirmed to have nothing to do with this case, the Dali Temple has passed the hall, and everyone has been sent back to the Mansion of the King of the East......"

Han Jian frowned, the third prince Yang Yu's movements were quite fast, and the case was solved so quickly? Or do some people in the DPRK want to fight fast and slow, and try their best to put this matter to an end?

When Sima Yi heard that Ruan Ping was fine, his face showed a look of joy, and when he saw Han Jian's stern expression, he knew that Han Jian would not give up.

Yang Xi said: "I'm tired of Grandpa Lu, let's just go in and check it out, and come out in a short time." There will be nothing. ”

"That's good, that's good." Lu Shaokun hurriedly asked a few little eunuchs to go to the treasury to get the key to open the door, and when they were free, he was still nagging.

Han Jian found that Lu Shaokun still has a very kind attitude in front of people, especially in front of "powerful people" like him and Yang Xi, unlike people with shelves, but I don't know if he is the first person and the last person.

After finding the key to open the gate of Taixue Palace, and seeing the mountains of books and books inside, Yang Xi naturally took a breath.

"That's too much, isn't it?" Sima Yi complained on the side, "This has to be found, and it may not be found in the last ten years or eight years." ”

"Then get someone to help." Yang Xi made a mistake.

Lu Shaokun said with a smile on the side: "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, you don't have to worry too much, the books of this Taixue Palace are all recorded, as long as you check, whatever you want to find, it is very easy." ”

"Is that so?" Yang Xi smiled with relief, "Then I'm sorry for Father-in-law Lu to help me find it, we have to find the exam papers of the last few sessions to read." ”

"Okay, the old slave will go and find it." Lu Shaokun was very enthusiastic to help on the side.

When he found the storage place for the exam papers of the previous exam, and saw the large wooden boxes where the flattened books were placed, Sima Yi began to complain again.

"What's the use of yelling so much?" Han Jian picked up the file and looked at it, and said, "Don't bother too much, we're not here to rearrange all the exam papers, this time we just need to find out the exam papers of the junior scholars and check them." Especially the candidates who are in the top three, they can't let go. ”
