Chapter 269: Want to kill two birds with one stone?

"Seiyu! Do you think it's true that the exam questions are leaked? ”

Zheng Lun was a little puzzled, the reason why he didn't believe it was the same as Gu Chengyu, how could Lord Wan be so stupid? Who the hell is trying to frame him?

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "Before the end of the exam, the person who made the question will be guarded alone, and it should be impossible to leak the exam question." ”

Sun Xian, of course, they know this truth, but maybe it really leaked?

The people in custody are all officials, will those people be bribed and then deliver the news?

Gu Chengyu sat on the chair and thought about it, Song Shujing is the connection of the eldest prince, and his eldest daughter made a side concubine for the eldest prince, does this person want to kill two birds with one stone?

There are only four princes in the Dayan Dynasty, and excluding these two, there are only two princes and four princes.

However, Gu Chengyu felt that it was possible for either of them, and he could not rule out the bitter tricks deliberately made by the two princes.

He hadn't entered the court yet, and the relationship inside was still unclear. On the surface, it seems that the two adults should support the third prince and the eldest prince, but who knows in private?

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help it, he wanted to ask clearly, but asked Sun Xian to stop him.

Sun Xian pointed at Gu Chengyu and motioned Ye Zhiqiu not to speak, Gu Chengyu was thinking hard, trying to sort out the relationship inside.

"Who did the exam questions leak to? Candidates from Wanjia? Who bought Song Shujing? Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered one of the most important questions.

"I don't know, I can't get the news until my father comes back from the court."

Zhu Pang was a little dazed, he was just a son-in-law, and he had no connections in his hands, so he couldn't find out any useful information.

Gu Chengyu felt that instead of guessing here, it was better to wait for the senior brother to come back, and the senior brother would definitely get first-hand news when he went to court.

"Mingmo, you ask someone to guard the Wanfu and Song Mansion, and send someone to report as soon as there is news."

Gu Chengyu felt that for the time being, he could only keep an eye on the two to see what happened to them.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu had no good way, everyone panicked a little.

"Seiyu! If the evidence is conclusive, then aren't we? ”

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but ask, if this matter is serious, the best result is to retake the exam.

If they are unlucky, they may all be implicated, especially Gu Chengyu.

Of course, Gu Chengyu knew what Ye Zhiqiu's unfinished words were, and it depended on the ranking of this exam.

These two days are the time for results, and if he enters the top ten, he probably won't be able to get out.

The rumors were exhausted, and even the names of the officials were clear, but they didn't find out who bribed the examiner, and I didn't know who leaked the exam questions to.

Before the palace could reach a conclusion, it was spread all over the outside. How difficult is it to find out the source of the rumors?

I'm afraid, it will be difficult for him to get out of it. However, he will not sit still. He had already planned it, if the senior brother couldn't get any news, then he would visit the palace at night.

As soon as this incident comes out, will Concubine Xian, the biological mother of the third prince, still sit firmly in Diaoyutai? Naturally, she is anxious, this is a major event of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, if her mother's family falls, her life in the palace will definitely be difficult.

Gu Chengyu suddenly thought that Concubine Xian might take a risk and deliver the news to Wanfu. At this moment, Wanfu has not been taken care of, and maybe things will take a turn for the better.

"Ming Yan, you ask someone to go to the palace to guard, if someone comes out of the palace, let them follow, as long as they go to Wanfu and Song Mansion, find a place where no one is around, and intercept the content of the letter."

Ming Yan answered, and then thought about it and asked, "I intercepted the letter, but I still have to send it back to the two mansions?" ”

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Naturally, I want it." ”

He can't protect himself at this moment, and he doesn't want to participate in the battles of those princes. The purpose of intercepting letters is to understand the whole story of the matter and to come up with a solution.

The two adults are safe and sound, and it will be beneficial to him.

"Seiyu?" Zheng Lun was a little stunned, and then he saw Gu Chengyu's calm and calculating side.

He has always felt that Gu Chengyu is a son-in-law like them, although he is good at studying, how can they be qualified to ask about the affairs of the court?

"We can't sit still, can we? If you don't have any connections, you can only check it yourself, and you have to intercept the letters. ”

Gu Chengyu thought that a few people couldn't accept it, so he explained a few words, if they knew that he wanted to visit the palace at night, they would be scared to death.

The crowd discussed for more than an hour, but they were clueless. Gu Chengyu asked them to go back first, and then send someone to inform them when there was news.

Several people also felt that staying in Gu Chengyu's mansion all the time was not a solution, so they all went back one after another.

Gu Chengyu waited in the house for a while, and then waited for the news of Ming Yan.

"Childe! In the middle of the road, he intercepted a letter to Wanfu. The small one has already made people copy a copy of the handwriting. ”

Secret letters like these are sealed with fire paint, and once opened, they cannot be restored. Therefore, on the outer envelope, the handwriting must be imitated, copied and sealed with fire paint.

The letter in Ming Yan's hand was copied, and Gu Chengyu took the letter and read it at a glance.

The more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became, this was a letter written by Concubine Xian to Wanfu, which wrote that Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing refused to admit it, but they were caught by one person, and that person turned out to be the right Yushi Guoshi.

To talk about who Guo Shi was, Gu Chengyu remembered the official who had passed the holy decree to Jiang Mingyuan. He was also there at the time, and he was praised a few times.

Concubine Xian said in the letter that this person should be the first assistant Xia Qing, but he is the in-law of the Wan family.

These are mentioned very little in the letter, probably written in a hurry, and not many words. The intention of this letter is only to let Wanfu check the outer study, so as not to really have any correspondence with each other.

From this point of view, doesn't Concubine Xian believe in her mother's family? If Wan Xuenian really leaked the exam questions, who would give it to? If not, then who framed it.

As for the letter that Guo Shi was Xia Qing's person, he was a little suspicious. Although Xia Qing is arrogant, he is very cautious, how can he leave a handle on people?

No matter how you look at the fraud this time, it reveals a strangeness. Who has such great ambitions that they want to kill two birds with one stone?

In the Taihe Palace, a man wearing a yellow embroidered five-clawed golden dragon sat on the dragon chair.

This person is over fifty years old, with slightly white sideburns, and he is squinting as if he is napping, but this is the emperor - Emperor Huiming.

De'an, the chief eunuch on the side, looked at the ministers who were about to make a noise, and then looked at the emperor who seemed to be recuperating with his eyes closed, and his heart sank.

The emperor has become more and more moody recently, and when such a big thing happened, the emperor did not have the slightest anger.

But the more this happens, the more creepy it makes him.

Wan Xuenian was furious, this Guo Shi was still his in-laws, but he didn't expect to jump out and expose him, how could he do a big thing of fraud? It's not that I'm living too long.

"Guo Shi, you don't want to spray people with blood, why did this official do this? Just for that bit of silver? ”

Wan Xuenian's body trembling on his knees, the emperor has always been unclear, did he believe in the dog thief?
