Chapter 53: Coercion
Han Jian first asked Lin Xiaoshu to go home and wait for the news, and he and Sima Yi went to the criminal department with Yang Xi and filed the case. In terms of the Criminal Department, Li Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was responsible for receiving Yang Xi and his party.
In the office of the Criminal Department, Li Wei handed over the case file that had just been sorted out to Yang Xi, and explained with flickering words: "Sixth prince, there are still inaccuracies in the case file, please also ask Haihan." ”
Yang Xi didn't know much about these things, so he took the case file and wanted to go back and read it again, but Li Wei reminded him that he couldn't take it out of the criminal department.
"If you can't take it away, just watch it here." Han Jian said.
Han Jian felt that there was something to hide from this Levi, but he couldn't grasp it accurately, and he found that Levi looked very flustered everywhere after seeing them, as if he was a thief.
Waiting for Li Wei to retreat, Han Jian said that he had doubts in his heart, and Yang Xi said: "Li Shilang and the third brother are very close......
When Yang Xi said this, Han Jian understood. This time, the empress sent the two princes to interrogate the case of fraud in the scientific field, nominally for exercise, but in fact, it also has the meaning of comparison, Li Wei and the third prince Yang Yu got close, just to help Yang Yu and alienate Yang Xi.
Yang Xi opened the case file, and Han Jian also stepped forward to take a look, less than three hours after the case occurred, many of the case files had not yet had time to be sorted out. The case file shows that the area involved in this case of fraud in the field was not large, and it involved about 20 or 30 people from the Zhen'an, Hexi, and Huaiyin schools, because Ruan Ping's father-in-law was a representative of the Huaiyin school, so Ruan Ping was involved. Some people even pointed out that Ruan Binh was the mastermind of the case.
The way for students to cheat is to enter the house with a cheat sheet, and after the incident, many candidates involved in the case swallowed the cheat sheet directly into their stomachs, so many people could not be dirty on the spot, and people like Ruan Ning were accused of being testified. Han Jian felt that it might be those who were taken to bite people indiscriminately in order to reduce their guilt, as long as Ruan Ping was not caught with ironclad evidence of cheating, it was not difficult to get rid of the crime.
After reading the case file, Han Jian was puzzled in his heart, and frowned: "A large-scale fraud in the field was just a few candidates who entered the venue?" ”
Yang Xi looked at Han Jian and said, "Brother Han thinks there's a problem?" ”
Han Jian said: "I don't know the content of the exam, how much effect can it be with light entrainment?" Could it be that these candidates will bring all the four books and five classics into the field with cheat sheets, and they can swallow all these cheat sheets after the incident? ”
The imperial examination of the Wei Dynasty was held in a total of four examinations. The first test is four books, the second is current affairs, the third is history, and the fourth is poetry. These four sessions are closely related to the exam questions, although it is said that everything is the same, but it is not that it can be dealt with by typing cheat sheets.
Yang Xi pondered Han Jian's words for a moment, and said in surprise: "Brother Han is saying...... Could it be that the exam questions were leaked? ”
Han Jian shook his head uncertainly.
"It's just a preliminary guess now, so many people are involved in a fraud in the field, and there must be a promoter behind the scenes." Han Jian suddenly pointed to the case file, "Why doesn't this main culprit Su even have a name?" ”
Yang Xi also glanced at the case and said, "It's a little strange. Brother Han, let's not talk about this first, where should you start investigating this case? ”
"Of course, it is to adjust the test papers of the exam, and the two exam papers that involve cheaters are all carefully examined yesterday. Those who are not involved in the case should also be investigated, and there should be clues. ”
Yang Xi nodded and said with a pleased smile: "What Brother Han said is extremely true. But...... If you want to read the exam papers, you have to go to the Ministry of Rites, and you have to ask my sister for instructions. ”
"Hmm."
After this trip to the Criminal Department, Han Jian felt that although this Yang Xi had some talent, he was still too girly and lacked courage in doing things, perhaps because he had little experience in the world, just like a dou who couldn't help him, and he had to mention "sister family" in everything.
"Then Gongzi Yang will go and ask for instructions first, and we will meet in Qingxu Yashe in a while."
Yang Xi put down the file and said, "That's fine." ”
After saying that, the three of them left the criminal department, Yang Xi hurriedly returned to the palace, while Han Jian wanted to go to the listening office to see if there was anything wrong. Although he said hello to Gu Weipan today, it was not an official leave after all.
As soon as Han Jian left, an official sedan chair stopped outside the office of the Criminal Department, and Jiang Yingcai, the deputy examiner of the Imperial Examination, got down from the sedan chair, and Li Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Levi looked around, "If someone knows that you are coming, there may be trouble." ”
Jiang Yingcai scolded angrily: "What's the trouble, a few candidates cheating, don't make a fuss." ”
Li Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang may not know, this time His Majesty sent the third prince and the sixth prince to supervise the case. ”
"Two fledgling canaries, what are you afraid of him doing?" Jiang Yingcai's words were a little disdainful.
Levi sighed, "If it's really two canaries, then there's nothing to worry about." But this time, the sixth prince invited King Xiaodong to come over to investigate the case, and this case involved a friend of King Xiaodong. Just now, King Xiaodong told the sixth prince that he was going to ask His Majesty to check the exam papers of the first two sessions......"
Jiang Yingcai was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there really such a thing?" That...... I had to guard against ......"
Li Wei said: "Brother Jiang hurriedly tried to find a way to deal with it, this time I don't know who reported that there was fraud in the examination room, this investigation, so many people were found, if the investigation continues, these exams will be investigated, and now I don't know how many people in the DPRK and China will be involved......
Jiang Yingcai shouted: "What's the panic, I'll go back and burn down the exam room with a fire, and see who can find out what clues!" Don't worry, it's not our turn to do big things, you just have to do this side of the matter! ”
Originally, Jiang Yingcai had to go to the Criminal Department to inquire about the situation, so he hurriedly got into the sedan chair and left in a hurry.
……
……
Han Jian returned to the listening office, and the matter was still calm in the listening office, and it seemed that the case of fraud in the field had not affected this place.
Han Jian advanced to the hall where Kusi was, and after entering, there was still no one inside. Han Jian couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, he was still quite concerned about this business, and he didn't forget to come back to see it when he ran for Ruan Ping, and when he came back, he realized how idle his work was, or rather, maybe he was busy with work, just because he was sitting in this position, so he was very idle.
Han Jian was about to leave and return to Qingxu Yashe to wait for Yang Xi's news, but when he saw Gu Weipan walking in with a straight face, it seemed that he had come to him on purpose.
"Chief Gu, but is there something?" Han Jian asked.
Gu Weipan's tone was not good, but he seemed to have compromised a little, and said, "There is something I want to ask you." ”
Han Jian felt that Gu Weipan's tone seemed to be unusual, although his face was also dark this time, his tone of voice was not as impulsive as before.
"If Chief Gu's matter is not too important, then I will talk about it later." Han Jian said, "I'm in a hurry to leave ...... beforehand."
Gu Weipan didn't want to see Han Jian, and Han Jian didn't want to see Gu Weipan either, this dead old man was not on the same front as him, and he could ignore it as the king of the east, or he could ignore it completely.
"You...... Just talk to your boss? Gu Weipan said with some anger.
Han Jian didn't expect Gu Weipan to use his identity as a boss to pressure him, and sighed: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
Gu Weipan wanted to get angry, but he didn't seem to dare to attack, his tone was a little calmer, and said, "Have you seen the plan of the Ministry of Industry to build a tower?" ”
Han Jian originally thought that Gu Weipan was why, but it turned out to be for this.
"Looked." Han Jian said, "I know what you are asking next, if you want to ask if I changed the plan, then I will say it directly, I didn't change it." Is Chief Gu satisfied with this answer? ”
Gu Weipan was stunned and said, "It's not you?" ”
"Chief Gu doesn't seem to believe it, but Chief Gu has thought about it, how can I understand the matter of building a tower. I asked in vain after the chief Gu asked, so let's ask Gao Ming to go again. After Han Jian finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
Gu Weipan said: "Since you have seen it, do you know who changed it?" ”
Han Jian didn't want to talk nonsense with Gu Weipan, he didn't want to get involved in building the tower, but now the most important thing for him is to save Ruan Ping first. But being asked so cautiously by Gu Weipan, Han Jian felt that Gu Weipan should be chased by the empress tightly, and wanted to build the tower with a new plan, but he didn't know who drew the new plan, and Gu Weipan, the person in charge, obviously couldn't explain to the empress.
Han Jian thought of the agreement with Gu Xin'er, and suddenly felt that there was a good opportunity in front of him, and he wanted to blackmail Gu Weipan.
Han Jian smiled and said, "Chief Gu, I won't tell you, I may really know who this person who changed the plan is, but...... Not very sure either. ”
Gu Weipan was relieved when he heard Han Jian say "may know", but he listened to "uncertain", and after pondering, it was clear that this kid didn't want to sue him.
"What do you mean?" Gu Weipan asked with a straight face.
Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Chief Gu, there is something...... If Chief Gu agrees to me, then I'll help Chief Gu think about who changed the plan......"
Gu Weipan said slightly angrily: "What if the old man doesn't agree? ”
Han Jian pouted and said, "Then I can't help it." ”
After Han Jian finished speaking, he walked quickly to the door, and heard Gu Weipan shout "stop".
“…… What's up? Gu Weipan seemed to want to compromise.
Han Jian said bluntly: "If Chief Gu is willing to go home and have a meal with your wife and daughter, then ......"
Gu Weipan originally thought that Han Jian would make any harsh requests, but when he heard that this was not too harsh requirements, he still angrily refused: "The old man's family affairs, you don't need to take care of it!" ”
Han Jian spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, and said, "Then I wish Chief Gu good luck." ”
After speaking, Han Jian had already left the door, leaving only Gu Weipan to stay where he was and sulk.
