Meng Sui glanced at Li Jie's side face, nodded and said, "I know, an old acquaintance, Deputy Lieutenant Wang Cong." He paused slightly, and chuckled playfully: "Oh no, now it should be the king's business." ”

Hearing this, Wang Cong instantly quieted down, no longer struggling, his face was desperate, and he was deadly silent.

Yao Qipi asked Wang Cong with a smile: "Lord Wang, why don't you be a good young talent, but you want to pretend to be a half-hundred-year-old man." She patted her head lightly and said with a smile: "Oh yes, Lang Zhong is higher than the chief official, and the king is really smart." ”

After this great change, Wang Cong calmed down, raised his head and looked at Han Changdu: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, falling into your hands, I have nothing to say." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and glanced at He Zhenfu.

He Zhenfu understood and found the belt from Wang Cong's sleeve.

Wang Cong's face darkened, knowing that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't help but feel a little more depressed.

Han Changwan disdained to ask Wang Cong more, and only raised his chin towards Meng Suiqi and Yao Qi: "I'll leave it to you." ”

The two of them claimed to be.

After walking out of the room, Han Changwan turned his head to He Zhenfu and said, "Quietly, don't alarm others, bring Yu Qing over." ”

Tonight was destined to be an unquiet night, and when the sky was bright, several of the east and west number houses were empty, and the scholars inside were nowhere to be found.

And among the forbidden army, there are also a few people who have disappeared inexplicably.

The disappearance of those scholars did not attract the attention of other scholars, after all, every time the provincial examination is held, there are always so many people who cheat and are caught, and then expelled from the tribute court.

As for the disappearance of several forbidden troops, it has not attracted the attention of others, the transfer of forbidden troops is a common thing, not to mention that there is a commander Jin Zhong in charge, what can happen.

And Mingyuan Building is not so quiet, and the meal is tasteless.

Han Changdui looked at the thick stack of confessions in his hand, only to feel that the corners of his forehead were suddenly jumping, and he pinched his eyebrows in distress.

I thought that the impregnable and airtight Gongyuan would have such a big flaw, and the leakage was like a sieve.

Four scholars, five forbidden soldiers, and two officials were enough to capture a tribute court, enough to destroy a provincial test, enough to wipe out the exhaustion of hundreds of people, and enough to provoke the wrath of the Son of Heaven.

He slammed the bookcase to vent his anger and mania.

After only this moment of anger, Han Changwan regained his composure, took his confession, and walked to the first floor of Mingyuan Building.

Jiang Shen and others were also worried.

Everything that happened in the Gongyuan last night, Han Changdui didn't deliberately hide it from them, everything was carried out under their eyes.

When they saw all this, the shock in their hearts was not much less than that of Han Changdu.

Even more frightened than he was.

Seeing Han Changdui walking in with a confession, Jiang Shen suddenly calmed down, stood up in a panic, and greeted him.

"Jiuchao, how's it going?"

Han Changwan held the confession to Jiang Shen and said sadly: "Elder Ge, this is a confession, you can take a look first." ”

He helped Jiang Shen to sit down, came over with a lamp and candle, and stood quietly beside him.

As the confession in his hand was put aside page by page, Jiang Shen's face darkened inch by inch, and finally described as withered.

Mu Rongxi, who was sitting at the bottom, saw this scene, and they all looked at each other, and they suddenly felt ominous in their hearts.

After reading the confession, Jiang Shen exhaled a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant, slammed the book case, and angrily reprimanded: "How dare they, how dare they, how dare they do such a crime, how dare they do such a thing that destroys the foundation of the country." ”

Mu Rongyan hurriedly walked up and patted Jiang Shen on the back to give him relief, hearing Jiang Shen say this, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and his voice trembled slightly: "Elder Ge, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, fortunately, the person has been caught, no big losses have been caused, and the impact has not spread, everything has to be recovered." ”

Jiang Shen patted the back of Mu Rongyan's hand with his backhand, and said calmly: "What you said, Sanlin, what you said is right." ”

He raised his eyes to look at Han Changdui, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke cautiously: "Jiuchao, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, please leave it to you and Commander Jin, there are many examination papers for the provincial examination, and after the transcription is completed, this pavilion and Sanlin will start to read the papers, and this pavilion is really lacking in skills." ”

Han Changwan had expected that Jiang Shen would say this, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not difficult to catch the inner ghost hiding in the Gongyuan, it is rare how to deal with the aftermath and how to find out the people behind the scenes.

If you don't do this well, if you are not careful, you will be ruined and fall into a place of no return.

Han Changwei knew very well that although he arrested so many people and obtained so many confessions last night, none of them directly pointed to Xie Liangji's party, and there was no evidence to prove that he was involved in this matter.

Although it is said that the Department of Internal Health can handle cases without asking for evidence, Xie Liangmao and his entourage have been operating in the Dajing Dynasty for decades, and they are deeply rooted and intertwined.

He couldn't catch and release Xie Liangmao without sufficient evidence, release and catch it, startle the snake, and leave endless troubles.

His eyes flashed, and he already had a plan in his heart, and he agreed to what Jiang Shen said: "The elder of the pavilion is relieved to preside over the matter of the provincial examination papers, and the rest of the affairs will be discussed by the lower officials and the Jin Command Envoy Council." ”

Jiang Shen was overjoyed, and a faint smile appeared between his eyebrows: "Okay, good, it's been hard work for a long time." ”

After watching Han Changdui leave with his confession, Jiang Shen raised his hand, beckoned Ruan Ping'an and a few people to come closer, and carefully instructed with a solemn expression: "Explain it, let everyone in Mingyuan Tower keep their mouths tight, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, this pavilion will not be spared." ”

Mu Rongyan and the three of them looked solemn and responded in unison.

Han Changwan took the confession and slowly went upstairs.

Meng Sui followed behind the three of them, and they all felt the faint depression on his body.

The three of them glanced at each other, and He Zhenfu asked Meng Suiji: "What's the matter, just now you went in with the adult, what did Jiang Ge Lao say to the adult, why did the adult seem to be deflated all of a sudden?" ”

Meng Sui scratched his hair bun and said suspiciously: "Also, I didn't say anything, it was Jiang Ge Lao who said that he would read the file or something, so the people who were caught last night and the things that came out of the trial were handed over to our Internal Health Department for disposal." ”

He Zhenfu was a little confused when he heard it, and he was full of confusion, and said: "Isn't this a good thing, why are adults unhappy?" ”

Meng Sui nodded and asked Yao Qi across He Zhenfu's shoulder: "Yao joined the army, you said, why are you unhappy?" ”

Yao Qi looked at Meng Sui and the two of them with eyes like fools, and sighed helplessly: "You two, two fools." ”

Meng Suibi and He Zhenfu "sighed" together.

When Han Changdui heard the movement, he turned his head and glanced at the three of them, nodded and said, "That's a good thing, it's just two fools." ”

Yao Qi paused slightly, bursting with laughter.

Meng Suijie and He Zhenfu grabbed Yao Qi left and right: "Don't laugh, say it quickly." ”

Yao Qi couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "It's not difficult to catch people, but the difficult thing is to deal with the aftermath, Jiang Ge Lao doesn't want to go through this troubled water, but let us adults be the target in front, return you, you can be in a good mood." ”

"Is this so complicated?" Meng Suibi and He Zhenfu looked at each other.

Han Changdui stopped, turned his head and glanced at the three of them, his face complicated: "Let's go." ”

He Zhenfu stabbed Meng Suijian with his elbow: "Let you talk more." ”

Meng Sui's face was innocent: "Isn't that what you want to ask?" ”

"If I ask you, why is your mouth so lax?"

"You ....."

Yao Qi stopped the two of them and sighed: "Okay, when you are a target, you must have the consciousness of being a target, let's work." ”

The day was bright, the public hall was busy, and the officials spread out the examination papers and buried themselves in transcribing them.

Han Changwan and the four of them sat down in the study, looking at the thick stack of confessions, with a sad face.

He Zhenfu picked up Yu Qing's confession and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the people in the tribute courtyard have basically been cleared, but these confessions have not been directed to the people behind the scenes, the jade pendant on the belt, according to Yu Qing, is a key, as for the key to open it, he doesn't know, only know that after getting the belt, leave a mark in the stove room, and someone will come to pick it up." ”

Meng Sui touched the topaz on the belt and thought: "It's better to let Yu Qing leave a mark, and wait for someone to take the belt, or grab or follow." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, and he agreed with Meng Sui's method: "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Meng Sui rolled up his belt and tucked it into his sleeve, thinking about how to plan this matter.

He Zhenfu pointed to the confession and said: "My lord, Yu Qing also explained the matter of the shoes, the shoes were found by Li Cheng, and they were originally going to be taken out when they left the Gongyuan last time, but there was news from outside that Li Cheng was missing, let him check, my lord, he and the people behind him didn't know that Li Cheng was dead, let alone that the shoes fell into Xia Yuanji's hands." ”

Han Changdui tapped his fingers and tapped on the book: "It can be seen that Xia Yuanji and them are not all the way, is there any news coming from the internal guards who are staring at Xia Yuanji?" ”

He Zhenfu said: "Yes, the internal guards said that no one has gone to see Xia Yuanji in the past two days, and Xia Yuanji has not seen outsiders except for going out to buy vegetables, and those shoes have always been worn on his feet, and he has never even taken them off when he sleeps. ”

Hearing the end, Yao Ji sneered: "After wearing it for so long, can you still smell the things in those shoes?" ”

Han Changwan also smiled: "Yu Qing doesn't know what is hidden in those shoes, he only knows that those shoes are very important, even if they stink, they have to get them." ”

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows, poked He Zhenfu with his elbow, and said with a smile: "You have done the right thing to take off people's shoes." ”

He Zhenfu was at a loss: "Why me?" ”

Yao Qi smiled weirdly: "What the adults said." ”

He Zhenfu looked up at Han Changdui.

Han Changwan pursed his lips and nodded solemnly: "I said it." ”
