Chapter 173: Covering the Sky
Qiao Mu immediately took out the paper from his body, and the records and files about the officials on it were more detailed, which made Shen Qingyu can't help but look at him with a compliment.
Some people don't need to be told everything, they will do everything they can in advance, and Qiao Mu'an is obviously this kind of person.
Shen Qingyu compared the lists, but if she wanted to confirm her conjecture, she had to turn to her father for help.
Not long after she came back, she rushed to Shen Zhongwen's courtyard again, and at that time, Ji Yunshang had just been sent out by the people around Shen Zhongwen.
When she saw Shen Qingyu coming, she was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
Shen Qingyu said vaguely: "I have something to do with my father." ”
Ji Yunshang looked back and said, "Uncle has a guest here, he's busy at this moment, don't bother him!" ”
Shen Qingyu was a little anxious, it was impossible for her to go back and wait, and said, "Then I'll wait here, cousin, go back!" ”
The one who sent Ji Yunshang to the door was a personal attendant of Shen Zhongwen, called Xun Le, he saw Shen Qingyu saying that he would wait, and said busily: "I'll take the young lady to the side room for a while, and the adults will take you to see him as soon as they're done." ”
"Okay." Shen Qingyu stepped up the steps in a few steps and quickly followed Xun Le away.
Ji Yunshang was a little unwilling, but let her be cheeky to catch up, she couldn't do it, so she had to leave.
The other side.
Before Shen Qingyu was led into the house, he was stopped by someone, and the man said, "Miss, please come with me." ”
She looked at it, but it was Shen Zhongwen's cronies, the last time their family went out, it was this person who called Shen Zhongwen away.
The man's footsteps turned, but he went in a different direction.
Shen Qingyu wasn't worried about being abducted by him, after all, she didn't mention that she was following Ruyi, and Xun Le on the side didn't object to this.
She had only taken two steps before someone came and stopped her.
It's a new face.
This person was tall and thin, and his voice was gentle, "My family was saying that I wanted to invite Miss Shen Qi over to talk, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Miss Shen Qi, please come with me, my family is waiting for you inside. ”
These words almost made Shen Qingyu mistakenly think that this was not the Shen family.
Shen Zhongwen's cronie smiled: "I was also about to take Miss in." ”
Obviously there are two directions, and he calmly and calmly exerts the skill of opening his eyes and telling nonsense to the extreme.
It seems that her father didn't want her to go in, so he sent someone out to intercept her, but he thought that he couldn't succeed.
For this guest who was in the house, Shen Qingyu also understood at once that he could be a guest in other homes as if he were a host, and there would be no one else except for Shen Zhongwen's current boss.
Since you can't avoid it, you can only go in. When Shen Qingyu walked in, the man who had a relationship with each other last time was drinking tea.
The teacup was rested on the table and made a soft sound, and the man beckoned Shen Qingyu to come closer.
He touched Shen Qingyu's hair like a loving elder and sighed, "Watching the child grow up day by day, I really feel that I am old." ”
Shen Zhongwen beckoned his daughter to his side and said, "Baiyun Canggou, the world is impermanent. ”
The man sighed, "What I said, you should think about it." ”
Shen Zhongwen lowered his eyes and said "um".
Before the man left, he glanced at Shen Qingyu and looked at her all uncomfortable.
When the man left, Shen Zhongwen obviously relaxed, "Why did you come to me?" What's up? ”
After the inexplicable experience just now, Shen Qingyu almost forgot her purpose, and she hurriedly took out the somewhat crumpled paper from her sleeve.
She handed it over like a treasure, "Father, look, this is the list of relevant personnel for this scientific expedition. ”
Shen Zhongwen glanced at it and found that there was really nothing missing, so he nodded: "Yes, that's right." What's wrong with that? ”
Shen Qingyu leaned closer and lowered his voice and said, "Maybe I mean, maybe, is it possible that all these people have been bought." All of them were accomplices in the fraud of the imperial examinations. ”
"Fraud?" Shen Zhongwen frowned, "What are you talking about?" ”
Shen Qingyu narrated her conjectures, "The first thing I thought was wrong was the case I encountered when I was studying with my eldest brother before, and in that case, the murderer's motive for killing was never clear. But there is a special embroidery technique mentioned in it. ”
"Lines of different thicknesses, combined with specific angles, can hide the pattern in it, and if you can know the exam questions in advance, then you can bring the answers into the exam room."
"Also, it is clear that the case has ended, but there have been several cases after the incident, and many related people have died.
Shen Zhongwen only thought that his daughter was fantastical at first, but when he listened to it, he also felt that something was wrong.
He said with a straight face: "What else? What are you suspecting? ”
Shen Qingyu said: "If all this is done for the sake of fraud in the imperial examination, then it can make a lot of sense." ”
She also linked what happened in the academy three years ago with this year's imperial examination, "If we start the layout three years ago, that is to say, from the beginning of the problem of snobbery, he will start to replace the relevant personnel this time." ”
"There is also last year's leakage, it's just because the relevant personnel failed to meet the standards, with last year's incident, no one would have thought that there would be this year's imperial examination and someone would take risks."
"The purpose is naturally to manipulate the imperial examination."
Shen Zhongwen said: "If it is really like what you said, after so much effort, the benefits brought by the manipulation of the imperial examination must be attractive enough. What do you think their purpose is? ”
Shen Qingyu said softly: "The exchange of blood, the big change of blood above the court, this is not something that can be done overnight, but if it succeeds this time, it means that in the future, the specific existence that can be said will be concentrated." ”
"Have you mentioned any of this to anyone else?" Shen Zhongwen's expression became more and more serious.
"I've only told my father."
Shen Zhongwen waved the paper in his hand, "Okay." Who helped you investigate this? ”
"It's Qiao Mu'an. He's amazing. Shen Qingyu praised without hesitation.
This list is not difficult to obtain, there are many officials in Shengjing, but the difficulty is that the transfers, promotions and demotion are recorded in detail.
Shen Zhongwen turned his head and instructed his henchmen, "Let Qiao Mu'an come over." ”
Shen Zhongwen's father and daughter faced each other, but neither of them spoke, facing each other in silence.
Qiao Mu'an saw this scene when he came.
Shen Zhongwen glanced at Qiao Mu'an, and his original plan was all about to run aground.
After all, this matter involves a lot, if it is really as Shen Qingyu guessed, he is worried that Qiao Mu'an has leaked his line of hiding during the investigation, and then provokes people to be unfavorable to Shen Qingyu.
But when he really saw Qiao Mu'an, he changed his mind again.
Qiao Mu'an was entrusted by Shen Qingyu to investigate these, but in the eyes of outsiders, all this was more like his instructions.
If the other party is a little more vigilant, I believe that he will take action soon, and all he has to do is wait for the other party to show his flaws.
