Yuanjing was locked up in the Tribute Institute for seven days, and every day he was full of food and sleep, and he was full of food and food, and it was not good to show his interest in Enke this time, so he had to continue to play the role of waste wood, and he was idle all day long, and was disgusted by many fellow examiners.

When the question was almost out, King Rui was also imprisoned. As soon as he entered the Tribute Courtyard, it was as if he had moved the entire Rui Wangfu, and everyone was busy flattering, and even more left the waste wood prince elsewhere.

Yuan Jing is happy to be idle. He had nothing to do, and felt that it was better to take this opportunity to make a painting for Ming Ruonan, so he started painting leisurely in the room.

On the first day of February, the spring examination was officially launched, and Yuan Jing, the marking officer, also took office seriously.

He looked at the bustling move into the Tribute Courtyard, and couldn't help but be moved. But on the evening of the second day of the second month of February, Yuan Jing was inexplicably imprisoned.

Even he didn't understand what was going on, so he was thrown into prison for leaking test questions.

Dali Temple Prison, this is Liu Quan's territory. When Yuan Jing arrived here, like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, Liu Quan did not stop doing anything, and directly cut off all contact between Yuan Jing and the outside, saying to the outside world: After getting His Majesty's holy words, it is necessary to find out a result, and it is inevitable that someone with a heart will hide evidence, so it is forbidden for anyone to enter and leave the imperial prison to visit the suspect.

Yuan Jing looked at Liu Quan with the appearance of a villain, and sneered in his heart, but he still had to work his face, and he looked very scared when he performed.

"Lord Liu, you ...... Why is that......"

Liu Quan's beard was about to rise, and when he looked at Yuan Jing, he remembered everything that Ming Ruonan had done to him in the Yuqiong Palace, and now it was finally time to get it back.

He snorted coldly and looked at Yuan Jing who was holding the prison door, so unhappy.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, Weichen advises you to confess your sins as soon as possible, so as not to suffer when you get it."

Yuan Jing frowned, grabbed the prison door and put his head close, looking even more innocent and pitiful.

"But...... But what did I do wrong? ”

"His Royal Highness King Yu, leaking the exam questions, but it is a big crime to kill your head and rob your family, Weichen advises you to confess as soon as possible. After all, you are a prince, and Your Majesty cares about the relationship between father and son, and may be able to take it lightly. ”

Yuan Jing looked at Liu Quan, his eyes showed a flash of fierceness, and in an instant, he returned to normal.

"Lord Liu, don't talk nonsense! When do I cheat? I haven't started grading yet, how can I cheat! Yuan Jing nervously argued for himself, but in Liu Quan's eyes, it all turned into disdain, after all, he didn't care whether Yuan Jing wanted it or not, he just wanted an answer, and at the same time close the case as soon as possible, he brought down King Yu and Ming Ruonan.

He sneered and stroked his beard, and put down the next sentence: "This official will give you a day, if you don't recruit, then don't blame this official for being polite!" ”

After Liu Quan left, Yuan Jing glanced around, Liu Quan was "considerate", and arranged for him to be in the deepest cell, which was warm and cold at first in early spring, and this most humid and cold room was simply the first torture.

On the fourth day of the second month, in the palace of King Yu, Ming Ruonan listened to Lu Beibei and made a rough idea.

Emperor Wu's anger was mainly due to the fact that all the evidence pointed to Yuan Jing, and it was clearly and clearly, and there was no room for argument.

There are three pieces of evidence, one is the cheat sheet of the test paper that was transmitted, and the handwriting was Yuan Jing's; the second is that a pair of luminous cups sent by the fraudulent lifter were found in the palace of King Yu; The third is that when Yuan Jing was in the Gongyuan, he was the only one, and when he was alone, he used pen and ink and consumed paper.

"Can't you be a fool when you eat, sleep, and sleep well? Why do you need pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? ”

Lu Beibei shook his head, he didn't understand how his uncle, who was cautious on weekdays, could be so stupid.

"Handwriting is easy to imitate."

Lu Beibei nodded and said: "I have sent the disciples of the Wind Pavilion to investigate yesterday, and the masters of copying in the capital and even around the capital, especially those who suddenly became rich. ”

Ming Ruonan rubbed the jade bracelet, thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's too time-consuming...... Walking on two legs, I went to send someone to invite my eldest sister to visit, but I don't know where she has been wandering these days...... Notify Caoyun to look for it all over the line. ”

Lu Beibei suddenly said: "I forgot the eldest lady!" ”

Ming Ruonan continued: "I remember leaving a booklet at that time, was this luminous cup given by the minister a year ago?" ”

Lu Beibei shook his head helplessly: "Not at all." At that time, a few of us were stopped, and they went on a rampage with the holy decree, and we couldn't do it...... I guess ......"

"There is a problem with that group of officers and soldiers."

"It's from Dali Temple."

Ming Ruonan sneered: "It's all prepared, but what about the ones who were caught?" ”

"I wrote a confession and killed myself."

At that time, he copied the answer on his underwear and brought it into the venue, and when he was invigilated and inspected, he happened to be discovered.

After he was arrested, he did not excuse himself or plead for himself, but even confessed to the crime. He also took the initiative to inform the inspector where the purchased test questions were placed.

"Joke, what did he keep the test questions he bought, could it be that he wanted to keep them as a souvenir?"

It is said that this is inappropriate to figure out just by thinking about it, but somehow this matter is known to other test-takers.

They jointly signed a blood letter to find out the fraudsters as soon as possible, and staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the Gongyuan to show their determination.

Emperor Wu had no choice but to order Dali Temple to find out as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Imperial Historical Observatory cooperated as appropriate.

Who knew that after checking it, it found Yuan Jing's head, and the people were so angry that they couldn't wait to drag Yuan Jing out and kill him immediately.

"It hasn't been verified yet, who leaked this news?"

Lu Beibei shook his head: "No one knows who first spread the news." In the past two days, Linz has been running everywhere, and Uncle Ling Guo knelt in the Qinzheng Hall for a whole day yesterday, but Emperor Wu has never summoned him. ”

"How's Yuan Jing?"

Lu Beibei shook his head again: "The death of Dali Temple is closed, and no one is allowed to visit." Uncle Guo said let's not break in, for fear of being in the hands of the villain. ”

Ming Ruonan tried his best to calm himself down: "Ma Tuan, go and pass the word to Senior Brother Qi and Linz, disperse everyone who can move, and find the candidate's family, he must have asked for something when he goes out so open-mindedly, his life is whimpering, it must be for his family." Ming Ruonan got up, not caring about changing his body as a servant, "Beibei, follow me to King Xian's Mansion." ”

Lu Beibei frowned: "Are you sure His Royal Highness King Xian is willing to help with this?" ”

"It's always difficult to go to Concubine Zhuang and Seventh Sister, at this time, the female relatives interfere, I'm afraid it will anger them even more. Uncle and Yuan Jing's dark line can't be moved, and we can only count on the third brother and Sida in the capital. ”

Lu Beibei was helpless, so he had to follow Ming Ruonan to ride a horse to King Xian's Mansion, but he only walked halfway and met Yuan Lu head-on.

"Third brother!"

"Phew!"

The two stopped in the middle of the road, and everything was silent.

"This is not the place to talk."

"Lianxianglou."

When Su's mother saw the serious expressions of the two, she immediately realized the problem, and hurriedly sent the little maid to dismiss the people around Tianzi No. 1 and surround the Yaxiang.

"Third brother, I need to see Yuan Jing."

Ming Ruonan went straight to the point, which made Yuan Lu quite embarrassed: "I asked to see my father yesterday, thinking about whether I could let the eighth child out of prison first, after all, the prison environment is bad." But the father ......"

"I understand, the third brother must have done his best."

Yuan Lu was helpless: "The sons were angry, and the father was also forced to be helpless, so he made this decision." ”

Ming Ruonan said coldly in her heart: The bullshit's strategy is obviously that he can't solve it by himself, so he pushes his son out as a shield.

But she didn't show it on her face, but said: "My father will definitely not agree, so I came to trouble the third brother because I wanted to ask for something else." ”
