In the cell of Dali Temple, Han Jian saw Ruan Ping, who was supposed to be in the exam but was imprisoned here. Ruan Ping's mental state is not very sluggish, but he is also confused about why he is involved in the fraud case, as a scholar, Ruan Ping has a stubbornness of a scholar, he believes that innocent people can always be peaceful.

Originally, Han Jian was still very worried about Ruan Ping, but after seeing it, he was relieved, Ruan Ping's psychological endurance was much stronger than he imagined.

Han Jian and Sima comforted Ruan Ping with a few words, and then went with Yang Xi to see several other candidates suspected of cheating, but they didn't gain much. Even if these candidates are caught, they don't have a deep background, at most there are a few rich children who spend money on cheat sheets. None of them admitted that they had been informed of the questions in advance.

"It looks like this trip is in vain." Coming out of Dali Temple, Yang Xi said with a disappointed look on his face.

Han Jian glanced at Li Wei, who had already left first, and said in a low voice: "Now all the clues should be on that Su, without further ado, let's go to the Criminal Department to see where this person came from." ”

Sima said: "Go to the Criminal Department? Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's been a day today......"

Sima's purpose in coming to Dali Temple's cell was mainly to see Ruan Ping, and now that Ruan Ping has seen it, he is also relieved, and he doesn't care about the investigation of the case at all.

Han Jian said in an unkind tone: "Then do you want to help Ruan Ping's kid get rid of his crimes?" ”

Sima smiled and said, "Criminal Department? Let's go. ”

Yang Xi didn't say anything on the side, and he also felt that Li Wei's feelings had changed when he talked about "Su", and he was also surprised, why an ordinary cheating candidate was treated differently, and even had to be detained alone in the prison of the Criminal Department.

The three of them got into the carriage, and under the guidance of the guards of the East Wangfu, the carriage took not long to arrive at the door of the yamen of the criminal department.

"We're coming to the cell of the Criminal Department to meet a criminal." Han Jian got out of the carriage and went up with the guards first.

The two yacha looked very cramped, and one of them said: "This Shangguan ...... It's not that we don't have long eyes, it's ...... You can't go in without paperwork. ”

Just when Han Jian was about to break through, Li Wei's figure appeared in front of several people again, Li Wei came out of the yamen, stepped forward quickly, and saluted: "His Royal Highness the East King, the sixth prince...... You guys...... Come to see Su? Oh, it's really unfortunate, I also came back to find out that Su was taken away by someone from the Shen Criminal Division, and he is no longer in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Han Jian flicked the dirt on his body, didn't say a word, and turned away.

Is it all so coincidental in the world? Or is something coincidental because of his involvement? Yang Xi saw that Han Jian didn't say anything and returned to the carriage, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Weizuo, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Han, what are you ...... What's wrong? ”

Han Jian said: "Young Master Yang, you go back tonight and ask Sister Ling, tomorrow we will see this Su Mou, and the breakthrough in the case may be here." ”

Because the Criminal Division was a special department of the imperial court, and without the approval of the empress, they did not have the right to go over and interrogate the prisoners, so the matter must be approved by the empress.

Yang Xi thought about it first and nodded. The three of them were busy all afternoon, and only then did they say goodbye and go back separately.

The next morning, Han Jian and Sima Yi went to the Qingxu Yashe early to wait for Yang Xi's news, and not long after the two sat down, they saw a figure shaking outside the Qingxu Yashe, not Yang Xi, but Lin Xiaoshu.

Lin Xiaoshu had been worried about her little nephew Lin Xiaoyun last night, and she couldn't sleep all night, and she wanted to ask Han Jian about the progress of the case in the morning, but unfortunately he didn't even know who Han Jian was, let alone Han Jian's address, and she only knew that Han Jian would appear in Qingxu Yashe. When she arrived at the place, she didn't dare to come in rashly to disturb, because at this time, Qingxu Yashe had not officially started a day's business.

"Miss Lin, come up." Han Jian greeted from the window.

When Lin Xiaoshu saw Han Jian, his face was overjoyed, he rubbed his eyes and quickly stepped into the Qingxu Yashe.

As soon as she went upstairs, she couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaoyun, ...... he?"

"You sit down first, have a cup of tea and eat something." Han Jian said.

Lin Xiaoshu said with a sad face: "I ...... Where to eat? ”

Han Jian smiled helplessly and said, "You don't eat and drink, and I won't say anything if I have news." Do you eat or not? ”

Lin Xiaoshu didn't expect that Han Jian would use this method to "threaten" her at this time, she could have ignored it, but she also knew that people let her eat first for her good, and she was also very acquainted, so she picked up the snack and ate two bites. After that, he looked at Han Jian again, hoping that Han Jian could bring her good news.

"There's news from the court." Han Jian poured a cup of tea for Lin Xiaoshu, "The new Tingwei Shaofu is named Lu Zhe, and he will take office in a day or two." ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoshu didn't even put snacks into his mouth when he heard this, "Does that mean...... Xiaoyun, he's about to pass the hall? And then...... To be questioned? ”

Han Jian said: "It stands to reason that this is the case. However, Lu Zhe was a clear and upright official in the past, and he should be able to enforce the law impartially and not favor the Sun family. ”

Lin Xiaoshu's face was sad and said, "That Xiaoyun is ...... The second brother went home last night, and he said that Xiaoyun's case would be convicted of capital crime nine times out of ten...... Whoever judges is the same......"

Han Jian showed a confident and encouraging smile on his face, and said, "I said that your nephew still has a chance to avoid the death penalty. We'll do our best to help. ”

Lin Xiaoshu had no choice at this time, and could only count on Han Jian. Yesterday, she saw that Han Jian was actually very close to the prince, and she felt that the help of powerful people would at least not help.

As the two were talking, Yang Xi came with heavy steps, and Han Jian could see that Yang Xi hadn't slept well last night.

"But have you asked Sister Ling?" Han Jian got up to greet him, and immediately asked after greeting him.

"Hmm." Yang Xi said, "I told my sister about Su, and I also said Brother Han, you suspect that Su is the champion of the last imperial examination, Su Tingxia......"

Han Jian smiled bitterly, a person who was already dead still talked about it, Han Jian also felt that he was thinking too much, and now Yang Xi would be so honest that he would not hide anything from the empress.

Han Jian smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yang is really outspoken to Sister Ling. ”

Yang Xi's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said with a little shyness: "My sister also often said this, saying that I have to tell her everything, and I have to leave some words in my stomach." To get back to the point, after I told my sister about Su Tingxia, my sister said that she didn't know that the people from the Shen Criminal Division had taken Su away, and she specially gave me a pass document, and we could go to the Shen Criminal Division to ask Su for questioning. ”

As he spoke, Yang Xi took out the text and showed it to Han Jian. Han Jian took a look and said, "Okay, with this thing, although it may not be able to solve the case, at least solve the doubts in your heart first." ”

The three of them were about to leave, when Han Jian remembered that there was a Lin Xiaoshu next to him. At this time, Lin Xiaoshu seemed to have a question, and he stopped talking.

"Miss Lin, you wait here first, or...... It's okay to go back and wait first. Han Jian said.

Lin Xiaoshu suddenly asked, "What are you talking about...... Su Tingxia, but ...... A candidate? ”

"Exactly." Han Jian was surprised, "Miss Lin has heard of this person?" ”

"It's not that I've heard of it, it's me...... May know. ”

Han Jian originally thought that Lin Xiaoshu had heard of Su Tingxia's deeds at most, but he didn't expect her to say that she knew, which surprised him.

Han Jian was in a hurry to go to the Yamen of the Punishment Division, but now he is not in a hurry.

"Miss Lin, tell me, how do you know this person?" Han Jian asked Yang Xi to sit down, and the four of them sat at the table together, and let Lin Xiaoshu come over.

Lin Xiaoshu was a little nervous under the gaze of the three of them, and said, "Speaking of which, I'm not very sure. In the past two years, there has been a gentleman at the corner of our street who helps people write and read letters, surnamed Su, and others call him Mr. Su. It was also by chance, there was a sudden sunny rain that day, he came to my small courtyard to shelter from the rain, and I accidentally asked about something, and he was very emotional and said that his name was Su Tingxia...... The sound seems to be the same, but the words are not the same...... I don't know. ”

Han Jian saw that Lin Xiaoshu was serious, so naturally he couldn't listen to it as a joke.

Su Tingxia is not dead, and he is a literate gentleman who sets up a stall in Luoyang City?

Han Jian asked, "Then did he say anything else?" ”

Lin Xiaoshu said: "He also said, he said that his parents are no longer there, and he is alone outside, and it is rare for the neighbors to take care of him and give him business to keep him alive." I took ...... the day before yesterday The formula went to him to ask for the words on it, and he also said that he would participate in yesterday's imperial examination. Then, yesterday afternoon, someone went to the courtyard where he lived and rummaged through it, and then I thought something might have happened to him. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xi first looked at Han Jian, who was thinking, and asked, "It should be someone from the government who went over to search for clues." ”

Lin Xiaoshu shook his head and said: "Those people are not wearing official uniforms, but they are very fierce, and the neighbors don't dare to ask." However, after they came out, someone came again, and after asking about Mr. Su's not coming back, they said that after Mr. Su came back, he asked him to go out first to avoid him. The man was soon gone as well. ”

Han Jian didn't speak, and Sima on the side said, "Alas? This is not right, Su Tingxia is obviously in the Shen Criminal Division now, how can someone remind him to go out and avoid it, what to avoid? ”

After speaking, Sima Yi stared at Han Jian, and Yang Xi also looked at Han Jian at this time, and they couldn't find an answer.

Han Jian didn't answer directly, but just said: "His identity itself needs to be avoided, doesn't it?" ”

Yang Xi nodded first, and then said, "Brother Han, do you think it will be...... Same name and surname? ”

Han Jian said: "Listening to what Miss Lin said at the beginning, I also thought that the two Su Tingxia had the same name and surname, because Su Tingxia's parents and relatives were fine, and no parents died." ”

Yang Xi suddenly said: "Brother Han, I remember, when Su Tingxia won the champion and died, my sister also issued an order to care for his family. And what about him...... How do you say that both of your parents are dead? ”

Sima bared his teeth and grinned, trembling and said, "Why do you feel cold on your back, could it be that Su Tingxia's ghost is unwilling to come back and apply for the imperial examination?" ”

"Now instead of speculating, it's better to go directly to the Criminal Division." Han Jian got up and said, "If Miss Lin can, let's go over and go over together to see if it's Mr. Su you said." However, according to my guess, this person is neither the last champion Su Tingxia we are looking for, nor the Su Tingxia of Mr. Su that Miss Lin said. ”

Sima got up on crutches and said, "Who is that?" ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Don't you know if you've seen it?" ”
