Two soldiers came in outside the door, Li Chengqian walked into the hall with the two of them, pressed the test paper on the table, and instructed the two soldiers: "Watch it, whoever dares to come and touch him, don't worry about it directly, I'll take care of everything!" ”

The soldier stood straight and replied obediently: "Yes!" ”

Seeing this scene, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also very anxious, looking at each other and trying to get an answer from each other's eyes, but they got nothing but disappointment.

Seeing that the situation was completely out of the control of himself and others, the three officials of the Ministry of Rites stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen thought that there are still important things to do at home, so it is better to let Weichen go back, and Weichen will come on time tomorrow, and will not delay the Spring Festival!" ”

Li Chengqian also expected this a long time ago, and looked at the others: "This is the last chance, if you don't want to leave, if you don't leave now, you can only wait for tomorrow's spring festival with peace of mind, you can also rest assured, the food and accommodation here are well arranged, and the tea is also good!" ”

When an old minister heard this, he also touched his beard with great interest and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if there is a package for the King of Wei, the old minister has been greedy for this for a long time, but this Mickey Mouse restaurant is expensive, and the old minister's meager Yulu can only go twice a month, and today he was locked up by His Royal Highness the Prince next to this tribute courtyard, I want to make a good deal of money to you!" ”

Li Chengqian also laughed when he saw this old minister, this old minister is a clear stream in the palace, and it is impossible to participate in the dirty things of King Wu and King Wei if he is upright, so he nodded hurriedly and said: "Naturally, I will order someone to prepare in a while, Old Chen, you can rest assured, but it is not appropriate to drink today, this is a lot less interest!" ”

Chen Lao shook his head and said, "It's okay, since it's okay, I'll go and rest first." ”

Saying that, Chen Lao shook his head and walked to the guest room on the side, Li Chengqian called for the door to open the door again, and after seeing the three officials leave, he and Cheng Chumo whispered: "Send a few people to follow them, see who they go to, it's best to follow the people they meet, and tell me at any time if there is any situation!" ”

After hearing the order, Cheng Chumo walked to the courtyard on the side, and after a few words of instructions with a dozen soldiers in civilian clothes, several soldiers went out and chased in the direction where the three officials left.

Several soldiers here are following the three officials who left, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Laosan in the city followed Tang Songling and also felt that something was wrong, in the past, Tang Songling only saw three or two scholars, and there would be no more than five at most, but today this Tang Gongzi has already met more than twenty scholars, and unlike in the past, he would take them to the teahouse to chat for a long time, just briefly met and chatted with them and left.

Zhang Laosan felt that it was nothing at first, but in the afternoon, Tang Gongzi was still busy, Zhang Laosan felt that things were a little big, and hurriedly instructed Zhang Xiaohu: "You go and follow the few scholars who met with Tang Gongzi just now, see what they are going to do, if there is anything to report directly to His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry about me!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu was ordered to do something, and Zhang Laosan followed Tang Songling.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't know, and after following for a while, he was very surprised to confirm his speculation, and hurriedly ran to the side of the Gongyuan and exchanged glances with Yu Chi Baolin, and then walked to the side of the courtyard to wait.

It didn't take long for Li Chengqian and Chengxin to come to the side courtyard, looked at Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Is something wrong?" Why didn't the captain come with you! ”

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly replied: "It was the captain who asked me to come back and report to you!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, then you can say it, what's wrong!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu scratched his head, opened his mouth and didn't know where to start, and said on the side: "It's good for you to start from the beginning, we are not in a hurry if it's okay, think about it carefully and say it's okay!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu thought carefully for a long time before he spoke: "That's the case, today the captain and I still went to stare at Tang Songling as usual, but he didn't take people to the teahouse to eat tea as before, but met many scholars one after another, and many of those scholars were seen a few days ago, the captain felt that something was wrong with this matter and ordered me to follow those scholars, I followed carefully and found that they were all gathered in an inn called Chenghe Restaurant, and this inn was heavily guarded, and there were people guarding the front and back, I pretended to be a guest and wanted to go in to investigate, but I was kicked out by Xiao Er and said that it was closed today, and I thought something was not quite right and came to report! ”

Li Chengqian's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at the side and said, "What do you think of this, what are they going to do when they get together?" ”

Xiangxin also analyzed it carefully, and then said with a little hesitation: "If my guess is correct, they should want to bring the candidates together, and then once the exam questions are obtained by them, they can be passed to the candidates as soon as possible, and the candidates can turn the book to read the information as soon as they get the exam questions, confirm the source and the like, and there may even be a teacher waiting for the exam questions in that inn!" ”

Li Chengqian also thought of this possibility, looked at the sky outside hatefully and said: "These people are really bold, they are actually blatantly cheating, these people don't talk about revitalizing the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Satisfaction comforted on the side: "It's okay, anyway, everything is safe under our monitoring now, I want to see how they can steal the test papers!" ”

Li Chengqian also nodded, walked back to the courtyard where the officials of the Ministry of Rites were held quite confidently, and nodded when he looked at the test papers guarded by two soldiers.

Several sneaky officials on the side saw Li Chengqian coming back and immediately scattered, returning to the guest room in the side courtyard, and several people discussed helplessly in a room: "The prince acts like this, what should we do!" ”

Another official also sighed, "I can't wait for this matter, the prince only needs to press us with the missing question, we have no reason to look at the test papers, we can only hope for people outside the hospital!" ”

"Yes, the people outside the hospital are much more capable than us, let's wait for news from outside the hospital, the current situation is not something we can solve!"

It didn't take long for the soldiers who followed the three discharged officers to come back, and Li Chengqian went to the courtyard next door to listen to their reports.

The plainclothes soldiers had already spoken to each other just now, and when they saw Li Chengqian coming over, they immediately said: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, the three officials went to the Wu Palace, the Wei Palace, and a place called Chenghe Restaurant, the three of them were very cautious, they all went back to their homes first and changed into civilian clothes and walked from the backyard, and the rest of the brothers are still following, let's come back and report first!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, knowing in his heart the relationship between this matter and these three places, he patted the shoulders of several soldiers with satisfaction and said, "It's hard work, I'll go and get the reward money in a while!" ”

Several soldiers left the courtyard with smiles, and sighed helplessly on the side: "Hey, now it is confirmed that the kings of Wu, Wei, and Chu are all involved in this matter!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't care at all and said, "Didn't you already know that the three of them were involved in this matter?" Why say that! ”

Xiangxin shook his head, and said a little unnaturally: "We are sure that only King Wu and King Chu are certain, King Chu has been planning in Chenghe Restaurant for a long time, but King Wei has never shown up, I hope King Wei is not involved in this matter, but now it seems that taking it is not as I wish!" ”

Li Chengqian raised his head indifferently, his eyes were full of war, "Come on, these miscellaneous people actually dare to cooperate with the Turks, I will definitely not spare them!" ”

Chengxin nodded, "It's true that it's your business how your brothers fight, but it's really a shameful traitor to practice with the enemy, I really don't know what benefits they promised to the Turks, and they can actually let the Turks send people to help them!" ”

Li Chengqian's face also became solemn, "Yes, I don't know what interests they have betrayed to the Turks, they can make the Turks work for them, now I am more worried that I don't know how they want to use the Turks, tomorrow is a big day in the Spring Festival, if they disturb the entire Chang'an, it will be uneasy!" ”

Satisfaction didn't think that this group of Turks could do when they came to Chang'an, forcibly kill Li Chengqian? This is unrealistic, because Li Chengqian will bring a lot of guards every time he appears, so why did they go to great lengths to send the Turks to Chang'an City?
