"Who do you think is the problem?"

Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu shuttled in Guozijian, and everywhere they looked was a peaceful scene. The students in Lincheng have all been sent out, and basically none of them are in Lincheng. Hua Qingyan and the two of them wanted to find the steward of the Guozijian and get a copy of the information of those people.

The two asked for the location, and they didn't let anyone lead the way, so they leisurely looked for the past. The place where the overseers of the country stay on weekdays is called the Hall of Knowledge, and it is taken as "what is known is known, and what is not known is not known". The two heard that Master Chen was often absent, and he rarely appeared in Guozijian, and the other two adults were doing the things that were used to test students on weekdays.

When Hua Qingyan asked this, she actually already had a suspicious candidate in her heart, and this Lord Chen's suspicion was much greater than that of the other two adults.

"This Lord Chen does have some problems, but that doesn't prove that he is the one who leaked the question." Jin Nanshu said, "Looking at him now, he is not responsible at most." ”

Walking through a corridor, the two finally reached their destination, the Chinokan, a three-story building, and when they got close, they could smell a rich scent of books mixed with sandalwood. Hua Qingyan paused, her brows furrowed. Maybe she wasn't used to this rich taste, Hua Qingyan only felt dizzy for a while.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Hua Qingyan's face was not good, Jin Nanshu hurriedly asked, "Why don't we go back, and I'll come back next time." ”

"No, you don't." Hua Qingyan waved her hand.

Jin Nanshu wanted to persuade again, but an abrupt noise came.

"Surnamed Chen, what exactly do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu glanced at each other, could it be that one of the people who quarreled was Lord Chen? The two of them walked in the direction where the voice came from, and hid in a corner with a good view, so that they could see the two arguing clearly.

Both of them were dressed in official mansions, and a white crane with fluttering wings was embroidered on their chests. Although Hua Qingyan is not familiar with the official uniform and rank, she still understands what this crane represents. Obviously, these two people are the stewards of the country's eunuchs. And that Lord Chen has a Chinese face, and his eyebrows are cold, and he has no literati temperament at all, but looks like a martial artist.

"Can't you see what I'm trying to do?" Lord Chen snorted coldly.

"Chen Jing, you haven't taken care of the affairs of the Guozijian, since you are not rare in this Guozijian, then don't take care of my affairs!"

The adult who was really arguing with Lord Chen was very thin, and he looked like he was in his forties, perhaps he was more leisurely on weekdays, and his face did not have many wrinkles, and he looked much younger. At this moment, this is an arrogant face, and when he looks at Lord Chen, he is even more disdainful.

Chen Jing, that is, Lord Chen, looked at him gloomily, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, obviously out of anger. However, he couldn't help but didn't make a move, and only after taking a few deep breaths did he say: "Gong Lin, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you become the steward of the country, do you know that the people selected for this imperial examination are all the pillars of my Daqi, where do you put the country in this way!" ”

"Chen Jing, do you know why Li Ke has been in this country, because he doesn't have much to do." Gong Lin hooked the corners of his lips and stepped forward to pat Chen Jing's face, but the latter was alertly dodging it. He didn't care. "If you want to live for a long time, you have to learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Chen Jing, you still need to practice again."

Gong Lin said and ignored Chen Jing's reaction, walked away, and deliberately bumped Chen Jing's shoulder heavily before leaving.

Although the two of them did not explain the content of the quarrel, they didn't need it anymore, Jin Nanshu and Hua Qingyan both clearly understood that the person who leaked the question was probably this Gong Lin who looked like a humble gentleman.

The two walked out of the corner, and Chen Jing, who was still immersed in anger, was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, glared at the two and said, "Who are you?" Why here? The Pavilion of Knowledge is not something that anyone can enter. ”

There are few women in Guozijian, and Jin Nanshu has a romantic face, but in Chen Jing's eyes, he has become a gentleman who comes to have fun. Chen Jing, who was already angry, was even more angry, and her attitude towards the two of them was also extremely bad, "Let's go, get out of here quickly, Guozijian is a place to do learning, and those who cultivate are the pillars of my Daqi, don't pollute the place." ”

Don't look at Chen Jing, although her rough attitude is not good, she is polite to them, she just waved her hand to dare them go, and did not do anything excessive. Hua Qingyan and they naturally won't leave so easily, since they have already come and heard a lot, they must be clarified.

Jin Nanshu walked up to Chen Jing, "Lord Chen, there are some things I want to talk to you about." ”

After walking to the front, Chen Jing took a good look at Jin Nanshu and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and Hua Qingyan beside him was a little dusty, but it was faintly noble. Chen Jing couldn't hold their identities for a while, and hesitated a little: "Who are you, and what are you doing in the country?" ”

"Lord Chen, we have no malicious intentions, but there are some things we want to ask Lord Chen, why don't we go inside and talk about it." Hua Qing smiled and pointed to the Hall of Knowledge.

Chen Jing didn't want to agree, this Hall of Knowledge is where they work, where anyone can enter, especially the two people in front of them are of unknown origin. But after he saw the black seal-like thing in Hua Qingyan's hand, he introduced them to the Hall of Knowledge without saying a word.

If Chen Jing is not mistaken, it is a special tiger talisman with the word "ink" engraved on it.

Chen Jing had never seen the owner of this seal, but she also knew the prestige of that person. Although he didn't know where the two people in front of him got this seal, it was obviously not something he could easily offend. Chen Jing personally made tea for the two of them, and then asked tentatively, "Did King Rui call the two of you here?" Before, Xia Guan heard that General Wei had come to Lincheng, but before he could pay a visit, General Wei had already left. I wonder if King Rui is in Lincheng now? ”

"You ask the prince, but there is something to tell him?" Hua Qingyan smiled faintly while holding the teacup.

In fact, she felt that although this Chen Jing looked rough, she was actually careful, and if it was someone else, she took out this seal, and she was afraid that she would directly think that Jin Nanshu beside her was the owner of the seal. Although I don't know if this Chen Jing has seen Yun Shumo, but with his eyesight, Hua Qingyan feels that it is natural for this person to have today's achievements.

The rank of the steward of the national eunuch in various places is the same as that of the prefect, and there are even more arrogant literati and writers under him, which is even more difficult to manage.

"This ......," Chen Jing hesitated, "I don't know where to start with this matter." ”

Jin Nanshu said: "Then you will tell the truth and tell the matter as it is." ”

Jin Nanshu was also very serious at this time, and it was really a bit majestic that he no longer deliberately made that frivolous appearance. Chen Jing wasn't sure who he was, but looking at the momentum now, it was also extraordinary. Chen Jing was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to talk about it or not.

Seeing his entanglement in his eyes, Hua Qingyan smiled: "What Lord Chen wants to say, but what is the matter of leaking the question?" ”

Chen Jing was startled, and subconsciously walked to the door and looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, and then closed the door, with a look of surprise on her face: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, this spring leak is a serious crime!" ”

"If I'm wrong, then how will Lord Chen know that I'm talking about Chunqiu." Hua Qingyan said teasingly, looking at him with a pair of apricot eyes with interest.

Chen Jing also knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she was even more sure that the two people in front of her must know something, and as for how much she knew, it was still unknown whether she had found out all of them. However, Chen Jing felt that since they were able to come to him instead of directly arresting people with officers and soldiers, it proved that they had not found evidence yet.

Chen Jing remembered Gong Lin's face, gritted her teeth, and said, "Your Excellency, you just need to tell the officials what they need to do." ”

Judging from Chen Jing's attitude, although the person who leaked the question was not him, it was obvious that he knew about it, but why he didn't report it, if Chen Jing didn't say it, they wouldn't know.

"You answer me first, does the leaking have anything to do with you?" Jin Nanshu said solemnly.

"Nope." Chen Jing replied categorically without the slightest hesitation, "Although the lower officials don't care about the affairs of the Guozijian, they have never wanted to do such a thing to deceive the Holy Hearing. ”

"Who do you think it is?"

"The two of you should have also heard the quarrel between me and Gong Lin, the reason why I quarreled with Gong Lin was because I doubted him."

As for what to suspect him, naturally there is no need to say anything.

However, after listening to Chen Jing's words, Hua Qingyan was a little disappointed, after all, she only suspected that there was no direct evidence to prove that Gong Lin was the one who leaked the question. Hua Qingyan thought for a while and said, "Lord Chen, we believe that you are innocent, but we can't suspect another court official because of your one-sided words. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Jing's face, but it quickly relented. Hua Qingyan saw his lonely mood in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, it's a big deal to leak the topic, and the prince and the little marquis will definitely not stop there." And we can't keep an eye on this matter all the time, so we still need to find someone to supervise the Guozijian side, I wonder if Lord Chen is willing? ”

Chen Jing was stunned, he didn't expect such a big surprise at all, he hurriedly said: "Willing, willing, I am an official of the imperial court, it is the responsibility of the Guozijian to happen, and I am naturally the responsibility of the Guozijian as an official of the Guozijian!" Don't worry, I will never declare a personal vendetta, and I will definitely find evidence to find out the person who leaked the question. ”

"In this way, my son will be relieved." Jin Nanshu stood up, "Don't talk about what we came to today with others." ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Chen Jing nodded, he suddenly remembered that this girl had just mentioned the little marquis, Chen Jing had the courage to glance at Jin Nanshu, could it be that this person was the little marquis?

"By the way, Lord Chen, if you can sometimes go to the government to find Governor Lu, I think things will go more smoothly with the help of Governor Lu." Hua Qingyan suggested with a smile.
