Yang Xi thought for a while and then asked: "Su Tingxia is talented and learned, but he doesn't have the life of the champion, and he died after winning the champion, why does Brother Han think of him?" ”

Han Jian said: "I have read Su Tingxia's article, and it is somewhat similar to the article of Su in front of me. ”

Yang Xi was shocked and said seriously: "Brother Han is saying...... Su Tingxia may not be dead and will come back to take this exam? No way, it's absolutely impossible. Su Tingxia's death has been confirmed by the imperial court, and the sister ...... is also grateful for Su Tingxia, even if he is not dead, as long as he enters the court, he will be the champion, why should he use it to take the exam again? ”

Han Jian said: "What if he didn't die and didn't know that he had won the championship?" ”

Yang Xi thought about this possibility for a while, and then denied: "This is also impossible, after the last imperial examination was released, Su Tingxia died, he already knew that he had won the champion at that time, and it is said that he also drank with his classmates to celebrate, and he died that night." Even if this matter is nothing, Su Tingxia's death in the champion has long been reported to the world, and there are still people talking about it today, how could Su Tingxia not know that he won the champion? ”

Yang Xi thought for a while and added: "Even if he really doesn't know that he has won the champion, and he still comes to participate in this imperial examination for no reason, the examination institute will also register all the candidates to verify their identities and examination qualifications, he doesn't know himself, and the examination institute will also inform him about his winning champion......

Yang Xi said a lot, and after finishing speaking, Han Jian kept thinking about it, and Han Jian had no clue about this matter. Yang Xi's reasoning is true, even if Su Tingxia is not dead, there is no need for him to come back to participate in this imperial examination, and when he picks up the examination paper of "Su" again, he doesn't feel that this style of writing is like the short-lived and tragic Su Tingxia.

The reason why Han Jian was deeply impressed by Su Tingxia was mainly because this unlucky guy died in the same way as he died in his previous life, he was "drinking too much", and Han Jian felt sympathy, so he paid more attention to this person.

"Maybe I'm overthinking." Han Jian put down Su's exam paper.

Sima Yu on the side didn't interject for a long time, and couldn't help but say at this time: "Can we go to the cell to see Ruan Ping?" And what is that Su, don't you know if you go to the cell and see it? ”

"Now the candidates suspected of fraud have all been transferred to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple is ......," Han Jian said and looked at Yang Xi, looking at Yang Xi to see if Yang Xi had a way. This kind of case is personally interrogated by the empress, and it is inconvenient for Han Jianjian to visit the suspect as the king of the east, only by using Yang Xi for the purpose of investigating the case, others will not say anything.

Yang Xi was puzzled: "The case just happened today, and it's night, wouldn't it be good for us to go to the cell to interrogate the prisoner?" ”

Han Jian said in an encouraging tone: "We are not going to interrogate the prisoner, but we are just going to check the cell and confirm who this Su is by the way." Moreover, this case is not big, and the dozens of candidates are inconspicuous among the thousands of candidates, and we are also trying to close this case as soon as possible, so that the examination can continue without delaying the selection of talents by the imperial court. ”

Yang Xi nodded and said, "This is reasonable, then let's go to Dali Temple to have a look." ”

After Yang Xi finished speaking, Sima Yi was not in a hurry to take the cane, and said in a strange tone: "Yang Gongzi doesn't need to ask Sister Ling again?" ”

Han Jian stood up and glared at Sima Yi with a reproachful gaze.

Yang Xi smiled and said: "I went back to ask my sister before, and my sister said that since I and the third brother are fully responsible for this case, there is no need to ask her for everything, and I can act cheaply when the time is right." My sister has already greeted the yamen involved in the case. ”

Sima grabbed the crutches in his hand, got down from the chair, and hurriedly said, "Then don't you hurry?" Ruan Ping, this kid, is probably not a human who has been tortured by those cell heads......"

said that they were going to investigate the case, but their real purpose was to visit Ruan Ping.

……

……

The cell of Dali Temple is located in the outer city of Luoyang Xicheng, and it is more than two miles away from Yongding Gate. The carriage in which the three of them were riding, when it was time, Yang Xi was already drowsy after a tired day.

"It's here." As soon as the carriage stopped, Sima Yi immediately shouted and woke Yang Xi up. Sima Yi knew that without Yang Xi here, they would cause some unnecessary trouble if they wanted to enter Dali Temple.

Getting off the carriage, Han Jian looked at the inconspicuous gate of Dali Temple in front of him, and the dark cell behind the gate, and felt a chill in his back for no reason. Yang Xizheng was a little listless, yawned, and Sima Yi followed Han Jian to the gate of Dali Temple, and saw Li Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, waiting early.

Li Wei saw Han Jian and the three of them coming, and personally greeted them with lanterns. Han Jian looked at Li Wei, who was smiling, and frowned, "Li Shilang, this is called ...... Fate to meet thousands of miles away? How can you meet Li Shilang everywhere? ”

Li Wei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the East King said that he was joking, this case was originally handled by Zai Xia, and the guards of the Dongwang Mansion came to say that a few people were coming, and they happened to come to inquire about the criminals, so they stayed together to see if there was anything that could help them." ”

Happened? Han Jianxin said, how can there be so many coincidences? When he was in the fire field of the examination hall before, Li Wei almost said the same thing.

Han Jian nodded, this reason is very far-fetched. To say that staying and spying on them is Levi's main purpose.

Before Yang Xi said that Li Wei was messing with the third prince Yang Yu, Han Jian also accepted this statement, but Han Jian felt that Li Wei was not right-minded, and he should be the kind of person who eats inside and out. The third prince, Yang Yu, is now just a "prince", and he doesn't even have a title, will Li Wei be willing to die for a prince who doesn't know what it is in the future?

Although the empress is now unmarried, the question of whether the throne is passed back to the Yang family man, or whether the empress is ready to have another son in the future has always been avoided by the ministers of the court. The ministers who talked about this issue were all "solved" by the empress, and the royalist faction of the dynasty also intended to appoint the third prince Yang Yu or the sixth prince Yang Xi as the crown prince, but they also knew that these two princes were not yet of great use. Therefore, the matter is only in the preliminary stage of conception.

can think about who is worthy of Li Wei's life in the current dynasty, but Han Jian can't think of a reason, the four kings? Queen? Han Jian felt that these people had little to do with this case, and it was a little strange that Li Wei was so enthusiastic and careful, unless there were still some little-known factions in the DPRK and China.

Yang Xi's mind was not as complicated as Han Jian's, he still felt relaxed when he saw Li Wei greeting him here, thinking that he finally had someone to lead the way, so that his eyes would be black after he entered.

"I'm tired of Li Shilang leading the way." Yang Xi smiled slightly, and made a gesture of please.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Li Wei was also very polite to Yang Xi, "Please move the sixth prince ......"

Although among the three, Han Jian's rank is higher, but as a minister, he also knows Yang Xi very well. Li Wei also led the way for Yang Xi, and Han Jian didn't care about these etiquette issues.

Arriving at the cell, Levi walked with a lantern in front of him, while Han Jian observed his surroundings.

There are two types of cells: "dungeon" and "dungeon", the dungeon is a cell that is on the ground and has a house built and equipped with a cell door; The dungeon, on the other hand, is a large cellar dug in the ground and the prisoners are locked in a place similar to a basement, and there are not even windows overhead.

The cells of Dali Temple belong to the "heavenly prison", that is, the cells on the ground. The environment here is also better than that of ordinary cells, at least there is no fishy smell and dampness. This can also be regarded as a prisoner with the status of the court, and ordinary prisoners are held in the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion.

On the way, Li Wei also talked about the detention of the candidates involved in the fraud case, mainly to separate the prisoners and prevent them from colluding to confess or something.

Because Han Jian felt that there was something wrong with Li Wei himself, he just listened to his views and did not adopt them, but Yang Xi listened very seriously. Yang Xi lacks experience in doing practical things, and he is also learning some basic principles of doing things.

"Li Shilang." Han Jian listened to Li Wei for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "I don't know that Su...... Where did it come from? ”

Li Wei originally heard Han Jian call him, turned around with a smile, and his footsteps still didn't stop, but when he heard "Su", his face was stunned, and his feet were unstable and almost fell.

"Li Shilang be careful." Yang Xi hurriedly supported Li Wei.

Li Wei stood still, barely tidied up his appearance, and then calmly replied: "Why did His Royal Highness the East King ask about this...... Su? ”

Han Jian glanced at it, showed no traces, and said indifferently: "I just think his name is strange, just ask more." ”

Li Weidao: "This Su, I don't know very well, but I know that he is one of the cheating candidates, and some people point out that he is one of the masterminds......

Mastermind? Or one more?

Han Jian smiled and asked, "Just because his article is good?" ”

Li Wei was a little surprised, probably wondering why Han Jian knew that "Su's" article was well written. Levi thought about the wording for a while, then lowered his head and smiled reluctantly: "This...... It's not very clear under that. ”

Han Jian asked: "Then now Su is imprisoned in Dali Temple?" ”

Yang Xi on the side also hurriedly said: "By the way, this time we are mainly here to check on this Su ......"

Li Wei looked embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Don't hide it from the two, this Su is the only candidate who is not detained here, he was taken away at the next day, and he should still be in the cell of the Criminal Department." ”

Han Jian looked at Li Wei, who looked strange, and said in his heart that this is really three hundred taels of silver here. An ordinary candidate involved in the case, it was okay to hide his name first, but now Yang Xi came to inquire, but he couldn't even find anyone. Can this be said that there are no ghosts in it?

Originally, when Han Jian first knew about this fraud case, he didn't take it too seriously, so he thought that it might be a few people who cheated and were questioned, at most, someone bit people indiscriminately, and now some unrelated people are involved. But after the south warehouse of the Examination Institute caught fire, coupled with the repeated cover-up of "Su" by the people of the Examination Institute and the Criminal Department, Han Jian felt that there was a lot of work behind this.

On the one hand, some people want to pierce it, and on the other hand, some people want to cover it up.

Han Jian continued to ask, "Li Shilang, there are some things I want to ask clearly. Today's fraud case in the field is said to have been reported to the imperial court, and His Majesty personally ordered to inquire about it, but is there such a thing? ”

Li Wei looked up at Han Jian, then lowered his head, and nodded, "It's true." ”

Han Jian asked, "Who is the whistleblower?" ”

Levi's face was embarrassed and he said, "This ...... I don't know ...... below."
