The dark room was very quiet, and it sounded one by one, Han Changdui turned his head, and the night was dark.

Suddenly, someone walked into the room silently, saw that the figure was Meng Suijiao, bowed and saluted: "Shizi, I have already found out." ”

"Say." Han Changdui didn't look up, he was still peeling the melon seeds very patiently, and there was already a small pile of melon seeds in the white porcelain plate in his hand, piled up as high as a hill, and I don't know how he peeled them out of the black.

Meng Suijie lowered his head and said: "Those two people did see Xie Liangmao and Wang Cong in Longyou Dao, but the strange thing is that they didn't say anything, they really listened to the music all night, and then they rested in the building, He Zongqi also ordered someone to go into that room and search, and did not find any paper, and there was no trace of burning in the incense burner." ”

Han Changdui didn't show any surprise, these two people met again and again, naturally they were not afraid of being stared at, nor afraid of being recognized, they must have prepared some more appropriate way to deliver the news.

He clapped his hands and raised his eyes: "In the past few days, the spring is coming, and I ordered the internal guards to change into civilian clothes, carefully inspect the workshop, and separate the internal guards who have newly joined the internal security department and arrange them to go to the tribute courtyard." ”

Meng Sui replied yes, turned his head to look at the dark sky, and was a little anxious and worried: "Why hasn't Yao joined the army yet, it can't be that something has happened." ”

Han Changdui didn't worry at all, and there was a hint of mockery in his tone: "It's just stealing something, it's her job, what can happen." ”

Yao Qi walked into the room with the end of this sentence, and when she heard Han Changdu's mocking tone, she snorted lightly, turned her head and walked to the side, holding her arms silently.

Han Changdui rarely saw Yao Qi play a little temper like this, he bent his lips and smiled, the smile in the dark was inexplicably warm, that warm smile was fleeting, and he regained his expressionless indifference: "Found it?" ”

Bao Cheng followed in and closed the door smoothly, he obviously heard those words, and knew that Yao Qi was holding his breath in his heart, so he hurriedly took the pages from Yao Qi's hand, handed them to Han Changwei with both hands, and said with a sneer: "My lord, I found it, you can take a look." ”

Meng Sui hurriedly lit the lamp and candle, and held it to Han Changdui to illuminate it.

Those pages were densely filled with words, he glanced at them roughly, although these words were not written on those topics, but they were articles that coincided with those topics, he was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked: "This, who is looking for it?" ”

Bao Cheng was a little worried, when he found these pieces of paper, he couldn't recognize all the words on the paper, Yao Qi said yes, that is, he glanced at Yao Qi, lest Yao Qi read it wrong and messed up the errand, he took a step forward and took the matter to himself: "Yes, I found it in my humble position." ”

Han Changdui let out a soft "oh" and looked at Bao Cheng with a smile: "Then tell me, what is written on this." ”

Bao Cheng almost lost his breath, what did he say, he couldn't even recognize all the words on it, how could he know what was written on it, the content on this piece of paper was no different from ghost drawing talismans to him.

His head was sweating in a hurry, his lips were shaking, and he couldn't say a word.

Han Changdui said "um", the tail note was high, and the questioning Bao Cheng took a step back awkwardly, and smiled curtly, with a weak heart

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Written all over the face.

"Alright, my lord, these pieces of paper were found by the lower officials." Yao Qi looked at Han Changdui with a faint expression, and said calmly: "Although these pages do not mention those exam questions, the articles written are very consistent with the exam questions, and the lower officials also found other articles from Bao Chi's study, all of which are related to those exam questions. ”

"Can you read this?" Hearing Yao Qi's words, Han Changwan shook a few pieces of paper in his hand in surprise, he knew Yao Qi's background, and he also knew very well that she was well-educated in the court, and she was literate and hyphenated, but the literacy he thought was limited to the level of being able to read the script, and he would never be able to understand this kind of jerky scripture and meaning article.

Yao Qi looked at Han Changdu's face full of surprise, his expression was indifferent, but there was a trace of imperceptible pride: "Yes, Xia Guan can understand that this article is written in a splendid way, but it is flashy, I am afraid that it is not in the preference of Jiang Gelao." ”

Han Changdui nodded, although Jiang Shen is the head of the civil officials and the great Confucian in the world, he is not the kind of scholar who is only confined to books and dead reading, he has been an official for decades, he focuses on agriculture and the military, and has achieved the ultimate in pragmatism and steadfastness.

Such an examiner, of course, would not like such a flowery but meaningless article.

In fact, if Bao Chi is a smart person, from the last three current policies, he can also guess a little bit of the mind of the questioner.

Han Changwei remembered clearly that the three current policies, one related to the pros and cons of opening up border trade in the Western Regions, one involved the local riots caused by the snow disaster in the winter of Yong'an ten years, and the other was to talk about the country.

These three questions are so sharp that some people who only know how to talk don't know where to start.

Han Changdui turned a few thoughts and looked at Yao Qi with a smile, this person will always surprise him unexpectedly, he is becoming more and more unable to see through her, and he wants to see through her more and more.

Yao Qi's scalp was numb when he was looked at by Han Changdu's meaningful gaze, and he took a step back and said, "The lower official is talking nonsense, don't blame me." ”

Han Changwei nodded: "You are very right, this article, I'm afraid that even a fellow jinshi is enough." He glanced at Bao Cheng, and asked with a smile: "Bao Gongzi is going to end the day after tomorrow, can you be sure of the title of the gold list?" ”

Bao Cheng was stunned by that glance, grasped, and returned the title of the gold list, don't be funny, he just went to make up the numbers, and planned to sleep when he went in, and slept for nine days in a row.

He smiled wryly, without an interface.

Han Changwan just casually asked, what is the details of Bao Cheng, he has already checked it clearly, such a person who can't even recognize all the words, if he can be named on the gold list, it is a fraud in the imperial examination.

"Okay, let's get out of the house, and we have to discuss what we need to do tomorrow." Han Changdui put away the pages, stood up and walked outside.

Bao Cheng didn't follow, this was his room, so he didn't want to spend the night elsewhere.

Yao Qi didn't follow, but only watched Han Changdui go out.

Han Changdui sensed that something was wrong, and glanced back at the two: "Why don't you leave?" ”

Bao Cheng changed a little, feeling that he was too much tonight, if he followed Han Changdu, he would have a heart attack, so he boldly said: "Humble duty, that, go to the Internal Security Division early tomorrow morning." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Yao Qi: "

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Yao joins the army, doesn't he also have to spend the night here? ”

Yao Qi avoided Han Changdui's gaze and asked Bao Cheng, "There should be a guest room in your courtyard, right?" ”

Bao Cheng was about to nod, but at a glance he saw Han Changdu's unkind gaze, and quickly changed the word "yes" on his lips to "no", shaking his head and shaking his eyes: "No, there is a main room, a thatched house, and a subordinate room in my yard." ”

Yao Ji grinded his teeth and glared at Bao Cheng.

This soft-boned man sold her so quickly, and she went to great lengths to help him get rid of his crimes.

Really fed the dogs.

Han Changwei watched Yao Qi reluctantly climb over the courtyard wall, pursed his lips and smiled weakly.

At this time, Chang'an City was dead silent, the streets and alleys where the curfew was empty, three people led the horses, and the sound of horses' hooves slowly circled in the cold and silent streets.

The cavalry patrolling the streets passed by the three of them, but they did not even look at them, and did not stop to inquire about them.

Obviously, I already have a deep memory of Han Changdu's face that often commits nights.

Han Changdui walked in front, turned his head and saw Yao Qi who fell at the back and was careless, suddenly frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Yao joins the army, you come here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, led the horse and followed quickly, and asked respectfully and detachedly: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Han Changdui opened his mouth, a little unsure of what to say, he was originally talking to her, he lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Today, the dark guard came to report that there is a gambling house in the city that has opened a gambling game, betting on the top three in Chunqiu." ”

"Oh, really?" Yao Qi is not surprised that the triennial Spring Festival is not only a carnival of all the scholars in the world, but also a carnival of landlords in Chang'an City, flower girls in Qinglou, and gamblers in gambling houses.

This kind of gambling came into being with the spring festival, once every three years, and it will not be pulled down every time.

Some people get rich overnight, while many more lose their fortunes.

She raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to go to these gambling houses tomorrow?" ”

Han Changdui nodded: "Yes, there are still two days left to take the exam, it shouldn't be only Bao Cheng and the others who can get that kind of thing, as long as there is enough silver, other scholars can also get it, and the gambling house is the most mixed place in the capital, and it is the most suitable for this kind of transaction." ”

Yao Qi thought for a moment: "I can't let it go in Pingkangfang." ”

Han Changwan curled his lips and smiled: "Tonight, I left He Zhenfu in Pingkangfang, and the secret guards were also inserted." ”

The dark night was deep, and the cold moon and clear light fell on Han Changdu's smile at that moment, which made Yao Qi in a trance, she shook her head, I was afraid that she was a demon, how could such a Hades laugh.

She pressed the corners of her lips and said businessfully: "So, what does the lord want to discuss with the lower officials?" ”

Han Changdui said: "Tomorrow, you will secretly investigate the gambling house with me." ”

"Me?" Yao Qi pointed at himself and asked in surprise, "Is there no internal guard available in the hands of the adults?" ”

Han Changwan smiled and said, "Yes, but none of them are as smart as Yao Senjun." ”

Yao Qi sighed and turned his head.

Han Changwan turned his head to look at Meng Suijiao, and saw that he was very interested in avoiding behind, so he leaned into Yao Qi's ear and whispered: "They don't dare to spend money on wine for me like Yao joined the army." ”
