This scientific expedition finally ended successfully, and all relevant personnel, including Emperor Mingde, breathed a sigh of relief.

After the palace examination, Emperor Mingde personally approved the top three in today's department, the champion Li Wenzheng, the son of Li Jiuhua, the richest man in Suzhou, Cheng Siqian, the son of Cheng Xiu, the secretary of the ministry, Yang Han, who was born in the famous family of Luoshan Yang. All three studied at Bishan College. After that, there were Jinshi and a number of others.

On this day, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the most lively Suzaku Street in Shengjing City is crowded with people, and the alleys are empty. It's just because the top three in this branch want to play horses and parade the streets here.

In the private seat by the window on the second floor of the quiet house, three young people in different costumes were drinking tea, the moon was white, and the one with half of the white jade mask on his face was Shen Qianmo, who was dressed in men's clothes, and next to him sat Xie Mingyu, who was dressed in white and like a jade tree, and opposite was a serious and serious demeanor. The three of them drank light tea and looked at the procession slowly approaching under the window.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, it was rare for unmarried women to go out with young men in a grand manner, so Shen Qianmo decided to appear in men's clothes.

Three tall horses, each with three men in red robes and black veils on their heads, were surrounded by a group of armor-wearing royal guards, proud and handsome, looking left and right on both sides of the street, bowing to passers-by.

"What does Brother Mingyu think of this top three?" Feng Ze looked at Xie Mingyu and asked seriously.

Xie Mingyu took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "If you talk about talent, among these three, Yang Han is the highest. ”

It's just that in any scientific examination, talent is only one of the considerations, for the ruler of a dynasty, he has too many factors to consider, and the most important one is balance. The distribution of the top three rankings involves the mutual checks and balances of multiple forces, and only when he balances well can a country go on steadily.

As a straightforward general, Feng Ze has never been interested in scientific expeditions. He simply looks down on those who will do anything for fame and fortune. Feeling as if he had asked a boring question, he turned to Shen Qianmo and said, "What has Brother Mo been busy with lately?" I went to Qin Qizuo a few times to inquire about your whereabouts, but he didn't tell me. ”

Facing Mo Xin, Feng Ze's tone unconsciously softened a little, and Xie Mingyu glanced at him inadvertently, with a little surprise.

Shen Qianmo laughed dryly and replied, "It's nothing, I just have to go to visit Master in my spare time, I have been traveling abroad in recent years, and I haven't seen Master for a long time." ”

She can't say that she has been talking about life philosophy and career planning with a beautiful man every day in the Guogong Mansion these days, and she can only make an excuse.

"Brother Mo's ability to perform an autopsy is so clever, it's really admirable." Feng Ze sighed sincerely. The dignified Shengchao's criminal department did not have a good job, and it was a shame to say it. In Feng Ze's view, anyone with a skill is worthy of respect. It's a pity that the position has not been taken seriously, resulting in few outstanding talents, and it is really rare for a person with a dusty temperament like Mo Xin to be willing to learn autopsy techniques and have such attainments.

Shen Qianmo talked with Xie Mingyu during this time, and also had a preliminary idea in her heart.

In fact, Xie Mingyu came to the capital this time to do a third thing, that is, to open the Shengjing branch of Bishan Academy here. According to Xie Mingyu's idea, although Bishan Academy has a long history and is very prestigious, it lacks innovation and is a little complacent, so he wants to open a branch in Shengjing according to his own ideas, and make some changes in enrollment, disciplines, and education methods. Before coming to the capital, he had a long conversation with his father, Matsutsuki, and fully consulted his grandfather, Mr. Ethereal. After getting the consent of the two elders, he took this opportunity to visit the capital on the spot.

Shen Qianmo thought that in view of the lack of success in Da Sheng's position, perhaps she could take this opportunity to open a course in forensic science or anatomy at Bishan Academy, so as to attract the attention of the world to this profession. Of course, this is just an unformed idea in Shen Qianmo's heart, and she knows that if this plan is to be implemented, it will be a long road.

The three of them were chatting and drinking tea when they suddenly heard a few screams from under the window. What's wrong? The three of them glanced at each other, got up and leaned against the window to see, sure enough, something big happened!

I saw Li Wenzheng, the champion who was still tall and proud of the spring breeze just now, lying under the horse covered in blood, Cheng Siqian and Yang Han next to him stayed in place, looking at Li Wenzheng in a pool of blood with a frightened face, a young man wearing a green cloth shirt and an ordinary appearance stood aside with a blood-stained dagger in his hand, surrounded by the Royal Forest Legion who immediately reacted.

Feng Ze was shocked, and immediately performed light skills and jumped down from the window.

It's convenient to be able to do light work! Shen Qianmo sighed secretly, and immediately rushed downstairs with Xie Mingyu.

When he arrived at the scene, the man in Tsing Yi had been restrained by Feng Ze and handed over to two Royal Forest Army soldiers to escort him. He didn't struggle, just stared at Li Wenzheng on the ground.

Shen Qianmo approached Li Wenzheng, who was lying in a pool of blood, squatted down to check the injury, and frowned slightly. The wound was in the waist and abdomen, the spleen was ruptured, and he died. She shook her head at Xie Mingyu and said, "It's dead." ”

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly laughed. Shen Qianmo's intuition was different, and when she looked up and saw his abnormal expression, her heart moved, and she hurriedly shouted, "Catch him!" ”

It's a pity it's too late. I saw him grit his teeth, and then the whole person slowly softened to the ground, and lost consciousness after a while.

Shen Qianmo quickly stepped forward to check the man's situation, while asking Feng Ze to watch the scene and pay attention to whether there were any suspicious people at the scene.

The man in Tsing Yi was dead, there were no obvious injuries all over his body, and everything was normal on the surface of the corpse, which seemed to be similar to the death of the fake Du Yu.

Just when she was concentrating on the investigation, Lu Ziqing received the report and hurried to the criminal department.

When Lu Ziqing learned about the situation at the scene, his face turned black instantly. The fake Du Yu case has no clue, but now it is good, the newly baked champion appointed by the emperor is also dead, and the impact is even more terrible.

Li Wenzheng is probably the most unlucky champion in the history of the Dasheng Dynasty, and he died in less than a day after being a man, which is really a tragedy in the world.

Lu Ziqing felt even more depressed when he saw Mo Xin, who was checking the murderer's body. Whether it was the fake Du Yu or the Mo Xin in front of him, he couldn't find out their true identities. For a moment, he felt that this ink heart that appeared out of thin air was very suspicious.

With a dark face, he commanded, "Remove the two corpses, and take away all the suspicious people here." After a pause, he pointed at Shen Qianmo and said, "Also, take this person down as well." ”

Who to take? Shen Qianmo looked at Lu Ziqing in disbelief, Lu Ziqing is now going to take me down? He's got nothing wrong with his brain, right?

"Dare to ask Lord Lu what is the reason for taking me?" Shen Qianmo asked with a calm face.

Lu Ziqing said slowly: "This official said, take down all the suspicious people, this official thinks that your identity is unknown, and it is very suspicious." ”

Shen Qianmo was helpless. Knowing this, she should have discussed with Xie Mingyu first, and made a fake identity for Xie Mingyu to help confirm, and no one would question the reputation of Mingyu's son. But now does she still have a chance to talk to Xie Mingyu?

"Lord Lu, you have no evidence, how can you take people away at will?" Xie Mingyu stopped him. Only he knows Mo Xin's true identity, if Mo'er is taken away by Lu Ziqing, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Feng Ze also glared at Lu Ziqing with a disapproving face, protecting in front of Shen Qianmo, obviously wanting to fight against Lu Ziqing.

Lu Ziqing was used to being strong, and the orders he gave were never easily withdrawn, and he ignored the two of them, and continued to order in a deep voice to the yacha on the side: "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't take it yet?" ”

Just as the yacha stepped forward to take down Shen Qianmo, and Feng Ze and Xie Mingyu were about to turn their faces, a low and hoarse male voice came: "The people of this king, who dares to take it!" ”
