Qin Ze and the others walked quickly to the examination paper pavilion where the examination papers were displayed in the Gongyuan, and the officials on duty followed behind and were sweating profusely.

When a group of people walked to the front of the test paper pavilion, they happened to meet Cheng Qizheng, who came out of the test paper pavilion.

Cheng Qizheng saluted Qin Ze with a look of surprise: "I don't know why His Highness and Lord Zou came to the Tribute Academy?" ”

Qin Ze glanced at Zou Shigao, and Zou Shigao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Cheng, someone beat the drum in Jingzhao Yin Mansion to complain about cheating in this examination, in order to collect evidence, this official and His Royal Highness came to the Tribute Academy to draw the examination papers. ”

"This ......"

Cheng Qizheng hesitated, "According to the rules, the exam papers that have been sealed are not allowed to be transferred at will without consent......"

Zou Shigao interrupted him coldly: "Lord Cheng, I am waiting to come here with the holy decree, I don't know if Lord Cheng still has any questions?" ”

Cheng Qizheng took a breath and hurriedly said, "I see, then the official will arrange it." Don't know which student's exam papers to draw? What is the exam number? ”

"Draw the exam paper of Meng Jing," Zou Shigao said, "As for the exam number, Meng Jing is the third place in this subject, presumably it can be drawn out as soon as possible without an exam number?" ”

Cheng Qizheng's pupils shrank, and he responded with a smile: "This official will let people pick it up, and ask His Highness and Lord Zou to wait for a while." ”

"Why don't you go to the outer hall and have some tea?" Cheng Qizheng suggested.

Qin Ze waved his hand: "No need, just wait here." ”

I waited for about a quarter of an hour, but I didn't see the officials who entered the cabinet to look for the examination papers come out.

Qin Ze frowned: "The examination papers of the top three exams will be displayed separately for the emperor to check during the palace examination." Why didn't I find the exam papers for so long? ”

Cheng Qi was busy putting on a puzzled expression: "Xia Guan also thinks it's strange, Xia Guan will go and see it himself." ”

After saying that, I saw the official who was looking for the exam paper running out. "Report to your lord, Meng Jing's exam paper is gone!"

"Useless stuff! How could I not find it? ”

Cheng Qi was scolding angrily at the official, and immediately smiled at Qin Ze with a flattering smile, "Your Highness, the official will arrange for more people to find it." ”

Qin Ze waved his hand.

Cheng Qizheng was ordered to personally lead people into the test paper pavilion.

Zou Shigao was so anxious that he went back and forth: "This test paper pavilion is so sealed that even a mosquito can't get in, is it possible that the test paper will grow wings and fly by itself?" ”

Qin Ze's dark eyes deepened, and he remembered that Cheng Qi happened to come out of the test paper pavilion when they came over, and his heart moved: "Lord Zou, can you arrange for someone to find Meng Jing?" ”

Zou Shigao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and responded: "Not yet." ”

Qin Ze clenched his fists: "Lord Zou, you arranged for someone to wait here for Lord Cheng to find the exam papers." Let's go out and find Meng Jing! ”

If the important evidence of the examination paper goes wrong, then the witness Meng Jing must be found as quickly as possible.

If someone will do anything about the exam papers, then the next target must be the Meng Jing.

Qin Ze told Zou Shigao about this idea, and Zou Shigao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we will hurry up to Jingzhao Mansion, and the lower officials will arrange for someone to find Meng Jing." ”

The two glanced at each other and walked quickly out of the Tribute Courtyard.

"Today's list," Zou Shigao analyzed as he walked, "The vast majority of students will celebrate and communicate in the teahouses near the Gongyuan, and they will be given priority to finding them in these teahouses." In addition, the inn where Meng Jing settled also had to send someone to investigate. ”

Qin Ze bowed his head, and Zou Shigao analyzed it well.

Every time the list is released, the students will gather in the teahouse to talk.

He remembered his understanding of Meng Jing in Yangzhou City, and reminded: "Meng Jing likes Fengyue places, and Lord Zou will send some other people to these places to find them." ”

Zou Shigao was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

Qin Ze thought well.

At the same time that Qin Xu arranged for Cheng Qizheng to destroy the exam papers, he had already arranged for people to find Meng Jing.

The target location of the search was also based on the teahouse near the Gongyuan, Qin Xu was worried about this matter, and went directly to a teahouse near the Gongyuan to wait for news.

Unexpectedly, the people sent out searched the teahouse near the Gongyuan where the candidates gathered, but they didn't see Meng Jing.

"Tell the prince, there are a few candidates who claim to have seen Meng Jing," the search leader returned to Qin Xu, "It's just that Meng Jing didn't stay long, drank two teas and left." ”

Qin Xu frowned: "Did you say where did you go?" ”

The team leader shook his head: "I asked several people, but they all said that they never mentioned it." The subordinates also made a special trip to ask Meng Jing's fellow villagers, but they didn't know where Meng Jing went. ”

Qin Xu clenched the teacup in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "Spread the search place and continue to search!" Even if you go through the capital, you must find the Meng Jing as soon as possible! ”

Qin Xu took advantage of the time difference, and when he learned that Meng Jing was not in the teahouse near the Gongyuan, Zou Shigao's manpower began to come over to search.

Naturally, you can't find the Meng Jing.

But this movement alarmed many candidates, including Chang Yide, who was being poured into the soup by his classmates.

After vacating the teahouse, Chang Yide happened to see Anshun who came with the searchers.

After asking about the situation, Chang Yide silently returned to the teahouse.

Someone complained that he would cheat in the test, but in just one or two hours, my cousin rushed to the Gongyuan but couldn't find the exam paper of Meng Jing.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to destroy evidence.

How sacred is it to try?

No matter how much you put in your life, you may not be able to pass the exam.

It's unbearable that someone cheated in the exam.

Chang Yide was very angry in his heart, and after thinking about and analyzing, he had a thought.

Cheating in the test cannot be tolerated, he wants to mobilize the power of the candidates to spread the word about this matter, so that more people know, so that the cheater cannot hide.

As for Meng Jing, he had also seen Meng Jing appear earlier, but he soon disappeared.

Where will he go?

Chang Yide walked towards the teahouse while thinking, but suddenly he paused, turned his head and ran out.

When he ran out of the teahouse, there was no trace of Anshun and others.

No one could be found in the teahouse, and everyone had already scattered everywhere to look for it according to the instructions from above.

Chang Yide was so anxious that he stomped his feet, panting and ran to the end of the street to look for two laps, but he couldn't see Anshun.

I had to tell the little servants around me a few words, and arranged for the two of them to go to Jingzhaoyin's Mansion to deliver a letter to the prince, and the other to go to the prince's mansion to deliver a letter to the princess.

Asking the little servant to bring the news in person, Chang Yide shook his fist and went back to the teahouse.

Prince's Mansion.

Hearing the news sent by Chang Yide, Fu Yuanyuan immediately called Yinbao: "There is no river around the capital, but the palace remembers that there is a man-made river in the southwest. ”

Yinbao pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and his round eyes sparkled at Fu Yuanyuan.

Fu Yuan glanced at her and continued: "There are merchants operating several painting boats on that artificial river, and there will be singers who sing in the painting boats for a living on weekdays. ”

Yinbao understood: "Niangniang, do you suspect that Meng Jing went to the painting boat?" ”

Fu Yuanyuan bowed his head: "Chang Yide has passed back this speculation, without further ado, you can go to the painting boat to find the Meng Sutra now." ”
