After the re-examination of the general examination, He Xiao had to watch them take the palace examination again, and tossed for a long time, before finally solving the two major matters of the general examination and the palace examination.

It was not until the end of April that the 11-year scientific expedition of Changzhi was completely completed.

Ding Youbang Jinshi completely reshuffled, and Li Zhi's name was clearly hung in the seventh place in the second class. Chen Hui is clear about his student's level and said that the result is already very good.

It's just that the main culprit in this case has still not been caught.

The news that Yu Jingning spread last time naturally had some effect, and he didn't cheat out the "Spring Come", but he caught a lot of officials who passed the joints for the candidates.

It's a bonus.

Yu Jingning and the others followed the clues of these people to investigate, but found that they were just a few irrelevant people. It has little to do with "Chunlai" and his master, as well as the people who hide behind the entire Kechang case to stir up the situation. Originally, I wanted to use these clues to find out the main culprit, but I didn't expect to be blocked by these people and delayed for a long time.

This effect is the same as casting a net in the sea and a few small shrimp on the net, without any substantial effect.

But just a few people also caused He Xiao's anger, and they were all punished severely.

It is estimated that he has vented all his anger for more than a month on them.

This time it was quite extensive, and even Qiu Anren was punished together - although it was only a punishment that did not hurt the fundamentals, it is estimated that he would have to stop for a while, and he would have no time to make waves. Yin Gong knew that he was at a loss this time, and he didn't shout, and soon "thanked the emperor". It's just that the grievances on his face seem to be pretended, and I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart.

After these people dealt with it, He Xiao faintly revealed to Yu Jingning that he wanted to close the case. Yu Jingning naturally doesn't want to close it, if they don't close the case, then all their actions will be covered by this case, but if it is closed, then they have to investigate it secretly, and I don't know how much trouble it will take.

Although all this seemed to be going in the direction of the hope of the new school, Yu Jingning felt even more uneasy.

Who is the driving force behind this?

So he had no choice but to play Tai Chi with He Xiao and continue to postpone the closing of the case.

It wasn't until after the Duanyang Festival that Yu Jingning finished his birthday, and something big happened in the capital.

Shao Ye, the minister of Wenyuan Pavilion, rode a horse to play that day, and fell off his horse and died.

This person has always been the head of the cabinet and the head of the horse, and Yu Jian's eyes are glued to Qiu Anren every day, and he is an out-and-out eunuch, so Shao Ye naturally can't get rid of the name of the eunuch party.

The only thing that Yu Jingning is most concerned about is that this guy was one of the examiners of the last Kechang case, but he didn't find any problematic accounts at his house.

Yu Jingning and a few of them, as colleagues in the officialdom, went to mourn as usual. looked at the family members who were crying bitterly, and had to follow a few words of comfort, and when it came to the back, I felt bored.

Originally, Shao Ye's family wanted to leave Yu Jingning and a few people to eat, but after all, this is a member of the eunuch party, and their coming to mourn is just a face-saving effort, how can they stay like this?

So when it was time to eat, those who had a good relationship with the Shao family naturally stayed, and those who went out were nodding friends. Before Tan Huaiyu left, he also paid special attention to who stayed at the Shao family for dinner-this group of people is either a eunuch and there is no need to make friends. Either it's a fool who doesn't have a long brain and can't look at his face, so there's no need to make friends.

He has an excellent memory, and secretly wrote down these names, all of which are people who need to be paid attention to in the officialdom in the future.

After the condolences, a few people in plain clothes came out of Shao's house. Because they didn't know each other well, there was no sad look on their faces, but they were serious under the sad atmosphere.

Gao Miao looked left and right, and saw that Tan Huaiyu and Yu Jingning didn't speak, so he planned to take the lead and ease the atmosphere.

He himself is a talker, where can he stand the time when these two don't speak?

So he walked to Tan Huaijue's side, tugging at the sleeve of the scholar for a long time: "Look, it is still a big risk for civil officials to ride a horse, and your legs and feet are not good, so don't ride a horse, just go by car." ”

Scholar Tan was wearing a plain Taoist robe with wide sleeves, the sleeves were much wider than his waist, and when he was pulled by Gao Miao, his sleeves swayed, and he felt like he was moving in the wind.

Tan Huaiyu rode a horse I don't know how long ago, but in the face of Gao Miao's concern, he still responded a few words: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, I don't go out now by car or in a sedan chair, where do you need to worry so much?" ”

These two people talked back and forth for a long time, but only Yu Jingning was silent on the side, Gao Miao felt strange, so he patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong?" We are just a nodding acquaintance with this Shao Ye on weekdays, and you won't be so depressed. ”

"It's not." Yu Jingning rubbed his chin and said, "I just think that the Kechang case may have to be closed here." ”

Tan Huaijie wasn't surprised, but Gao Miao was surprised again: "Huh? ”

Yu Jingning rolled her eyes and glanced at him, expressing disgust at his big reaction, and then said, "Do you think that Shao Ye's death from his horse was really just an accident?" ”

Gao Miao suddenly fell silent.

"Maybe it's a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences to make people suspicious." Yu Jingning stretched out a few fingers and counted them with his hands, "Eunuch, examiner, fell off the horse when the case was about to be closed." Don't you think it's strange that so many coincidences come together? ”

Tan Huaiyu made a voice of agreement, but Gao Miao was still silent.

"Although I have no evidence, I'm afraid that Shao Ye is the main culprit in our case this time?" Yu Jingning sneered, shook his head and said, "It is possible that this matter was done by Qiu Anren, naturally, it is also possible that our previous idea made the person hiding behind it uneasy, so we disposed of Shao Ye." Everyone is dead, can this case not be closed? Even if I wanted to investigate further, there was no clue to the 'Spring Come' who still didn't know who it was. After all, dead people don't speak. ”

Tan Huaiyu sighed for a while, and only said: "Now we don't have full evidence, although we know it, but we can't go to the emperor to identify Shao Ye as the main culprit in this case." Therefore, this case can only be settled where the emperor wants it to be concluded. ”

Gao Miao was upset and kicked the stones on the road hard: "This feeling of having a pair of eyes staring at the ground is really disgusting." ”
