As he spoke, he lifted his clothes and showed Chen Mu his injuries.

Chen Mu took a look. His body was covered in bruises, and at first glance he had been beaten with a stick.

"How unreasonable! took the court and oppressed the people! ”

Feng Zhong put down his clothes and said with tears in his eyes: "Fortunately, I met a few big brothers, took me to the cottage for treatment, and said that they wanted to seek justice for me." It's just that I didn't expect Brother Wang to really kill people. ”

Chen Mu nodded, "I know, after I go back, I will immediately call someone to investigate this matter, if there is such a thing, I will definitely behead this dog official." ”

Feng Zhong was overjoyed after hearing this, and knelt down to kowtow to Chen Mu crying.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

A few people next to him were also overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

"We actually kidnapped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what a crime deserves death!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to give the poor people in the world a chance! I ......"

Chen Mu hurriedly helped everyone up.

"Don't dare to be, there are corrupt officials in the court, and it is also the improper use of people by the court, which is a dereliction of duty of the royal family."

"But I believe that after the imperial examination system selects outstanding talents, there will be more good officials in Daxia who understand the sufferings of the people."

Everyone was polite again, and then someone said, "In that case, please ask the prince to come down the mountain." ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Well, you guys should come together and be a witness." ”

Everyone did not hesitate and nodded together.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Zhong took the five Qu commanders and fifty centurions of the invincible flying army, and selected some Shi commanders, a total of more than 100 people came here.

Seeing that the cottage was guarded from a distance, Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "If you rush over now, they will definitely hold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hostage, and then they will not be able to rescue His Highness." ”

A Qu Chang said: "But we were ordered to come to rescue the prince, if we don't go now, how can we explain to the emperor?" ”

Zhang Zhong: "It's okay, the emperor asked me to act cheaply." The only way to do this now is to wait until it gets dark and then quietly go in. ”

As he was talking, someone else said, "General, look at the mountain, someone has come out." ”

Zhang Zhong turned his head to look, how could the figure of the person walking in front of a few people be a little familiar?

Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

How is this possible?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just kidnapped and walked out on his own?

But when Chen Mu and the others got closer and closer, Zhang Zhong finally saw clearly, this was really the prince.

Next to him, Qu Chang asked Zhang Zhong, "General, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Zhong was also dumbfounded, thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Let's go, let's go straight over."

Zhang Zhong led people out of the forest directly and walked along the road towards Chen Mu.

The few people around Chen Mu were very nervous when they saw so many soldiers.

Chen Mu smiled: "It's okay, I'll just talk to them." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu took two quick steps and walked towards Zhang Zhong and the others.

Now some people are even more nervous, afraid that after Chen Mu and the army converge, they will be killed in turn.

Brother Wang patted him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I believe His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Over there, Zhang Zhong was very excited when he saw Chen Mu walking towards them, and led people to run all the way to Chen Mu.

Zhang Zhong knelt on the ground and saluted, "The subordinates are late to save the car, please punish the prince." ”

Chen Mu smiled and helped him up, "It's not too late, it's just in time, I've already talked to those brothers." ”

Zhang Zhong stood up, "Your Highness, let's send you back to the palace." ”

Chen Mu knew what he meant, and he wanted to reassure Chen Xingtian first.

But Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Let's go to the imperial examination office first." ”

Saying this, Feng Zhong had already come over there, Chen Mu introduced it, and then everyone went to the imperial examination together.

The Imperial Examination Office is the place where all the things in the imperial examination are handled. The official I met on the street would also work here.

Chen Mu brought people here, and these people thought it was just an ordinary inspection.

Scholar Zhou greeted him with a smile, saluted and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there are a lot of people who have signed up for the imperial examination this time, and there will soon be a large number of talented people to serve the country." ”

Chen Mu smiled reluctantly, "This is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that some officials don't think so." ”

Scholar Zhou saw that something was wrong, "His Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask which official delayed the imperial examination?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head, "I don't know what his name is, you call out all the people in charge of registration." ”

Zhou University nodded, asked Chen Mu to wait in the next room, and then called all the people in charge of registration.

One of them had a twinkle in his eyes, and he looked at it like something was wrong.

Chen Mu smiled and stretched out his hand to point, "It's him." ”

The man hurriedly came up and kowtowed, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter with calling the villain?" ”

Because Chen Mu was disguised before, he didn't recognize it.

Chen Mu pointed to Feng Zhong next to him and said, "Do you recognize this person?" ”

The man looked at Feng Zhong, he didn't recognize it at first glance, but after looking at it twice, he suddenly realized that it was the prince who knew about it.

He coughed twice, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this person looks familiar, and he may be a candidate who came here to register." ”

Feng Zhong and the others looked at this person, their eyes were full of resentment, and some of them snorted coldly.

Chen Mu smiled, "Don't admit it, right?" ”

"Scholar Zhou, please call all the people who assisted him."

"Yes."

Scholar Zhou agreed and went to make arrangements.

Now these people have been called from the house, all of whom are officials in charge of the imperial examination, but each of them has some people who serve tea and water.

After a while, Scholar Zhou came with someone. And they knelt down and bowed to the prince.

Chen Mu asked: "Someone reported that this person asked for money from the candidates, is it true?" ”

A few people did not dare to hide it.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is indeed the case."

Chen Mu slapped the table, pointed at the official and said, "Take it!" ”

There was a soldier next to him who went over and grabbed the officer, and he was still crying out for injustice.

Scholar Zhou was very embarrassed, "This is my dereliction of duty, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to surrender his guilt." ”

Chen Mu said with a smile: "It's okay, you can't do everything alone." The rest of the matter will be handed over to you, everyone in the department must be thoroughly investigated, and once there is corruption and perversion of the law, it must not be tolerated. ”

Scholar Zhou: "Yes. ”

Chen Mu stood up and walked out.

Feng Zhong and the others hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for upholding justice for us."

Chen Mu: "This is what I should do, but this matter is not over, I also want the people of the world to know that the imperial examination will definitely ensure justice." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu led people out.

Outside the gate of the branch organization, there were already many onlookers, and everyone only knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had led troops in, and no one knew what had happened.

As soon as Chen Mu came out, everyone hurriedly bowed.

Chen Mu shouted, "Everyone get up." ”

"I'm here today because some officials in the department are corrupt and ask for bribes from candidates."
