When he said the latter name, Wei Ziyin paused slightly, but Mu Xiwen, who was immersed in his thoughts, did not notice it.

"Lord Xu? Lord Wei? Could it be that they are also the Xu family and the Wei family of the five great families? ”

"Exactly."

Mu Xiwen was blessed to his heart, and instantly figured out the causes and consequences of this so-called township test fraud case that the Son of Heaven was angry about.

What she saw in the book seemed to be only the Yi family and the Wang family, the two powerful families, and the other Gaoping Xu family, Nankang Xie family, and Jinyuan Wei family had a very weak sense of presence in the book, which was why she was very surprised when she heard that there were five great families in Dawei at the beginning.

It seems that the so-called fraud in the imperial examination is just that Emperor Shunping wants to take the opportunity to clean up the power of the family.

This case directly involved the two major families of Gaoping Xu and Jinyuan Wei, and if he wanted to pull down the two families in one fell swoop, Emperor Shunping would definitely have to make this matter as big as possible.

All the other students who later participated in this session were completely banished from the political center, and even the imperial examinations were no longer participated.

As for Xu Wenlang, as a student in the imperial examination fraud case and a member of the Xu clan in Gaoping, I am afraid that the punishment will be even more serious, and it is a question of whether he can even save his life.

So what role did the Wang family and the Yi family, who are also from the same family, play in this shocking case?

Why did only these two families escape the liquidation of Emperor Shunping in the end and became the only ones left, and even the heroes who won the trust of Emperor Shunping?

However, these are not the main points for the time being, and the most important thing now is to try to get out of this case of fraud in the imperial examination.

If Wei Ziyin was the only one, the worst result would be that she directly persuaded the other party not to participate in this year's township exam. But Xu Wenlang and the others will also end up, as a friend, Mu Xiwen really can't watch a few people fall into the quagmire like this.

If she just said that there would be a fraud case this year, and she didn't say whether they believed it or not, she couldn't afford to be held accountable after the matter was exposed.

"Ziyin, do you know the temperament of Lord Xu and Lord Wei? What kind of people are they? ”

"Lord Xu, as the middle prince of the imperial history, has a very hard temper, and often criticizes His Majesty to blood. Helplessly, he is a member of the Gaoping Xu clan, and His Majesty can't do anything to him, so he can only endure it again and again. And he is also very scrupulous in his duties, correcting hundreds of officials, and purging officials, so he is most unaccustomed to violations of law and discipline. ”

Wei Ziyin naturally guessed that Mu Xiwen wanted to ask if the two examiners would be bribed and cheating, although he didn't know what news Ah Wen had heard, but he was also very conscientious in popularizing science.

"As for Lord Wei, although the people of the Wei clan are pedantic and conservative and regard etiquette as heaven, it is precisely because of the family motto that most of the Wei family members are tall and arrogant, and they are unwilling to join the same stream in the officialdom. This Lord Wei is the most outstanding talent of the Wei family in the world, and he has a good reputation among the hundred officials, and it is impossible to do anything to destroy his reputation. ”

Mu Xiwen nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that she had guessed correctly, this fraud case was really a trap set by Emperor Shunping, just waiting for the people of the Gaoping Xu family and the people of the Jinyuan Wei family to drill into it.

In the original book, although Wang Zhongxian did not marry the daughter of Yi Yuanrui and Yi Zhifu, Wang Peiyun was Yi Yuanrui's goddaughter.

And Wang Zhongxian also participated in the township test of Ding Younian's township test, and in the end, not only did he retreat, but even became a solution to the yuan, and there was no Yi family's handwriting in the middle.

Thinking of this, she immediately spread out the pen and paper and began to write a letter. She needs accurate, detailed information that will help her cope with the current crisis. After writing it, she tied the letter to 444's leg and stroked it tenderly.

"444, this very urgent letter needs your help to send it to Yang Guang, don't rush back first, wait for Yang Guang to investigate the matter clearly, and then return with his reply."

444 didn't drop the chain, and immediately flapped his wings and flew to the nine heavens.

Wei Ziyin watched silently from the side and didn't ask a word.

Today, the information network of Shanlin Bookstore has spread in all directions throughout the Great Wei Dynasty, and the original intention of this newspaper was to help her search and disseminate information.

In an anxious wait, 444 soon returned with Yang Guang's reply.

Mu Xiwen couldn't wait to unfold the letterhead, and after sweeping it with ten lines at a glance, the boulder that was depressed in her heart was finally put down for a short time.

She looked at Wei Ziyin, who was reading quietly on the side, and asked the academy for half a month's leave, and she would return to Tai'an Mansion in two days.

She said straight to the point: "Two days ago, I asked Yang Guang to check what happened recently to Lord Xu and Lord Wei's family, and Yang Guang did find an interesting thing. The nephew of the housekeeper beside Lord Wei was recently lured to Qianjintai and lost 1,000 taels of silver, and later the profit became 5,000 taels.

Originally, this kind of thing was also common in places like Qianjintai, but because of my instructions, Yang Guang carefully checked the person who lured the housekeeper's nephew to Qianjintai and then took him to borrow from a loan shark, and found that the other party turned out to be someone from the Taiyuan Wang family. ”

I have to say that she and Wei Ziyin have a tacit understanding, she just clicked to the end, but Wei Ziyin immediately understood what the other party meant.

He looked up at Mu Xiwen with a sharp look in his eyes, "The people of the Wang family want to frame the Wei family?" Fraud in the imperial examination? ”

Mu Xiwen was amazed, talking to smart people is to save trouble. She still wanted to continue to mention the point, but listened to Wei Ziyin continue to analyze it meticulously.

"This kind of framing method is so clumsy, and according to Emperor Shunping's heart, the fraud case is not a big capital crime at all, and it is not enough to bring down the Wei family, which is also one of the five great families. Unless—this is at the behest of Emperor Shunping! ”

Mu Xiwen swallowed his saliva, and he couldn't say anything other than admiration.

"So, did you hear some rumors of fraud in the imperial examination a few days ago, so you asked me about the examiner?"

Mu Xiwen knew that in front of Wei Ziyin, who was as careful as a hair, she had been exposed too many times, so she admitted it bluntly at this time.

"Yes, I did hear some wind. Now it can be basically determined that it was Emperor Shunping who united with the Yi family and the Wang family to create a case of fraud in the imperial examination to liquidate the family.

Since Emperor Shunping is planning to publish a book, he has no turning back when he opens the bow, he must be menacing, so this township test must be full of dangers. Do you still want to take the township test? ”

Wei Ziyin's voice did not hesitate at all, "Of course, I don't want to waste three years of time for this kind of thing. Although Emperor Shunping wanted to liquidate the Wei family and the Xu family, he must know that the family is not so easy to be overthrown.

Moreover, Emperor Shunping, the Wang family, and the Yi family will definitely only dare to quietly make a black hand, and they will definitely not dare to come blatantly, this is our opportunity. He turned his head to look out the window at the leafy locust trees, his eyes beaming with ambition.
