Chapter 178: The Man Who Laid Out

Shen Qingyu put down his hand, blinked his red eyes, and said softly: "Since my brother has apologized, then I won't be sad." ”

She approached Pei Shu, "If my brother doesn't hate me, just take me around the garden, okay?" ”

Pei Shu replied expressionlessly: "No." ”

Shen Qingyu immediately pursed his mouth and looked at the county lord of Anping.

The lord of Anping County pushed Pei Shu, "My sister wants to go around, don't you want to be the master?" ”

"Then you go and tell your grandfather that you agree that I will go out tomorrow." Pee Shu bargained.

The county lord of Anping waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, I know, let's go and entertain your sister!" ”

Looking at the backs of a few people leaving, the county lord of Anping reluctantly said to Wen: "The bigger it is, the more difficult it is to manage!" There is not a day of honesty. ”

Wen said: "It is inevitable that boys will have a detached personality. ”

The county lord of Anping frowned lightly and then stretched, "Don't pay attention to him, let's talk ourselves." ”

She originally found a girl of a similar age for Shen Qingyu, but now it is more suitable for her to see the two children get together to play.

Shen Qingyu followed behind Pei Shu, and after making sure that she was out of the sight of adults, she pulled the corner of Pei Shu's clothes, "What did Brother Pei just say, tell me about it, okay?" ”

Pei Shu said perfunctorily: "You can't understand what you said!" ”

Shen Qingyu pursed her lips, looked at Pei Shu's back and said tentatively: "Do you know that some time ago, there was a man who had just finished the exam and went to the government to complain, and later died in prison?" ”

Pei Shu was stunned: "What? ”

He stopped, turned his head and looked at the little girl in front of him with some uncertainty, "What did Lord Shen tell you?" ”

Shen Qingyu shook his head: "I just happened to run into it when I went out that day." ”

She continued: "I only know more than you might think. ”

Pei Shu said: "Then you talk about it first, and see how much you know." ”

Shen Qingyu didn't answer and asked: "How do I know if what you said is consistent with what I am investigating, why don't you talk about it first?" ”

Pei Shu smiled: "I'll say it first, I'll say it first." ”

"There were a lot of strange things about the fraud case last year, you must know that the imperial court has always attached great importance to the imperial examination, whether it is true or not, once it is exposed, the number of people involved is unknown, but in the end, only a few unimportant marginal people were punished, this is one of them; One of the people I know is a student who has been in the third class, and he told me that the officials involved in the invigilation are quite familiar with each other, and this is the second thing. ”

"I ordered someone to investigate the personnel changes related to the three imperial examinations, and found that at least ten years ago, some people began to change the officials of the Ministry of Rites."

Ten years ago?!

Shen Qingyu was shocked, this was not the same as she had speculated, she thought that the source of everything was Li Xi's death. Li Xi's death caused a lot of damage to the snobbery of the Cheng Rank, and only then did he have the delusion of covering the sky, but this actually started operating more than ten years ago.

She couldn't help but ask: "More than ten years ago, when the Rank was in the limelight, why do you want to do such a thing?" ”

"Rank?" Pei Shu frowned, "Do you think the person behind the layout is a Cheng Rank?" ”

Shen Qingyu said without thinking: "Of course it's him, on the surface, those officials related to the imperial examination have nothing to do with Cheng Jie, but I found out that one of them is a fellow villager with Cheng Jie." ”

"Just because you're a fellow countryman?"

has the ability to do all this, and can connect with these people, Shen Qingyu only thought of this one person. Listening to Pei Shu's rhetorical question, she was unsure, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't it him?" ”

Pei Shu said firmly: "No." Chengjie is not so stupid, and there are flaws everywhere. But it can't be said that it has nothing to do with him. ”

"There are three sons in the ranks, but none of them are successful." Pei Shu's words seemed to imply that it was one of Cheng Jie's three sons who did this heavenly game.
