Everything was as expected when Ye Jiang returned to Beijing ten days ago. His Majesty the Emperor was indeed ready to take action to suppress the Chunqiu Academy.

Otherwise, even the Judgment Department, even the Ministry of Justice, or even the Crown Prince, how dare you extend your hand to Bujushan?

In Luoyang, the Judgment Office is the most loyal hawk around His Majesty the Emperor, and His Royal Highness represents the emperor's most solid will, not to mention that in the hands of the Minister of Justice and Li Chengwen, he also holds an imperial edict.

They wanted to check the Chunqiu Academy, and the emperor wanted to check the Chunqiu Academy.

In the past, the five halls of the Spring and Autumn Academy were only left with the Changsheng Hall and Zhengyang Hall, and the disciples were still left with the academicians of various academies. The other three halls were empty. The people from the Judgment Office entered the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Ministry of Justice was responsible for judging the Xulu Hall. As for the Mingde Hall, which was taught to the academy in the past, it became the palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Logically speaking, when the Academy President Bai Qiu had not returned to the mountain, Vice President Tang Zian died, and Wei Qiuyue was missing, the only one who could still take charge of the overall situation in the Chunqiu Academy was left. But when the Judgment Office, the Ministry of Justice and His Royal Highness and his prince were at the foot of Buju Mountain, Hu Shuo did not even show up.

It is said that he went to Shuoming Peak to concentrate on practicing.

Without the support of a backbone, even if the academy had complaints about the court's actions, it would be difficult for them to cause too much storm.

The only conflict between the two sides broke out was when His Highness the Crown Prince asked to enter the academy library.

At that time, even Lao Qian, who had always been timid and fearful of things and had always appeared in front of everyone as a good man, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a big fight with the guards beside the prince.

You should know that the Library Pavilion, the Divine Soldier Pavilion, and the Field of Hope were merged into the three forbidden areas of the Spring and Autumn Academy. Not to mention outsiders, even ordinary disciples of the Academy are not qualified to enter it casually. This is the symbol of the Spring and Autumn Academy, and it also represents the dignity and bottom line of the disciples of the Academy!

However, this fierce conflict did not eventually turn into a bloody incident, but was calmed down under the cold gaze of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the joint suppression of the current prestigious Academician Zhou and Zhong Weiwei.

The final result was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the library of the academy as he wished.

As for whether he took away any rare lonely books from the library, or copied the martial arts and sword skills passed down from the Spring and Autumn Academy over the years, no one could tell.

From a certain perspective, this incident did make everyone in the academy question the prestige of Academician Zhou and Zhong Weiwei, but there is no doubt that as long as the dean has not returned for a day and Vice President Hu Shuo does not walk down Shuoming Peak for a day, these two people will have the greatest voice of Chunqiu Academy today.

In the next few days, almost every day, more than a dozen disciples, teachers and academicians from the academy were taken to the law enforcement hall for interrogation. The Ministry of Justice also found a huge amount of wealth and spiritual treasures from the Xunlu Hall. Although it was not blatant to conduct blatant investigations, there were not a few people who were snatching the waters.

In comparison, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out to have a big fight with the people in the academy outside the library, and there was no movement anymore, and it seemed particularly leisurely.

Every day, His Royal Highness only travels back and forth between the Library and the Mingde Hall, with thirty imperial guards accompanying him. In addition, he seems very restrained in other aspects.

The Divine Soldier Pavilion and the Field of Hope have long been blocked by the people of the Judgment Department. Although no one went in to copy the things, no one was allowed to break in without authorization.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed on the main peak of Buju Mountain for almost five or six days, then went to the back mountain of the academy and looked at Muyun Cave, Xuanpu Garden, and the abandoned spiritual spring. As for the other dangerous peaks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed not very interested.

For the teachers and students of the Spring and Autumn Academy, the Lantern Festival, which should have been celebrated all over the world, was spent in a solemn and panic atmosphere.

When His Highness the Crown Prince returned to Mingde Hall, Yin Shizhen, the deputy envoy of the Prison Office, had already been in the darkroom of the inner hall, and also brought the real controllers of the Chunqiu Academy, Academician Zhou and Zhong Weiwei.

Once upon a time, this darkroom was used by Xia Sheng to draft the list of the Spring Festival Competition, but now it has become the prince's bedroom.

Thirty imperial guards who were accompanying him were guarding outside the door, and His Royal Highness entered the dark room alone, with a faint smile on his face, and slowly sat down in the main seat.

"How is it checked?"

Yin Shizhen stepped forward, put a stack of transcripts on the table, and said, "Report to the Supervisory Commission, after the interrogation of the Judgment Office over the past few days, some problems have been found."

"Oh?" the prince slowly picked up the transcript and asked, "What are the problems?"

"It is said that before the Spring Examination Competition, a strong barbarian man forced himself to break into Buju Mountain and released the poison technique, causing heavy casualties in the entire Spring and Autumn Academy. Vice President Tang Zi'an also died in that battle."

This matter is no longer a secret now, so the prince did not make much statement when he heard this, but signaled Yin Shizhen to continue talking.

"But after careful investigation, my subordinates found that there was something strange about this matter. First, no one knew how the barbarian strongman sneaked into it through the academy's mountain guard formation. Secondly, no one knew how Vice President Tang died. Finally, it was also the most critical point. From beginning to end, no one had seen the so-called barbarian strongman!"

As soon as this statement was made, Academician Zhou and Zhong Weiwei immediately looked at each other and remained silent.

And His Highness the Crown Prince finally became interested and said repeatedly: "Summary."

Yin Shizhen nodded: "So, my subordinates speculated that there was no so-called barbarian strong men breaking into the mountains, and this war was simply a trick directed and acted by people in the Spring and Autumn Academy!"

The prince frowned secretly: "But why do they do this?"

"Of course it's because among the teachers and students of the academy, foreign spies have been involved in it, and they want to shake my Dajin's foundation with this!"

"But..." The prince's eyes flashed with doubts and asked, "When the riots occurred in Bujushan, Mo Yuan and the student named Zhou Bo were not in the academy."

Yin Shizhen sneered: "In the eyes of his subordinates, I'm afraid that the foreign spies are not just these two, because he learned a very important clue from the teachers and students of the academy!"

“What is it?”

Yin Shizhen's eyes flashed with a cold light and said with murderous aura: "As far as I know, when the turmoil happened that day, there should have been a teacher who was imprisoned in Muyun Cave on the back mountain of the academy, but for some reason he appeared in the main hall. Moreover, before Vice President Tang Zi'an disappeared, it was this person who chased and spread the false news that Vice President Tang had freed the mountain!"

"This person is Xia Sheng!"
