The King of Chu is your majesty's eldest son. Your majesty will not forget the love between father and son and make this kind of thing public.

After all, once this matter is revealed, the King of Chu will be imprisoned even if it is not a death penalty.

Chu Jifeng was running all the way and simply took a nap. Zhong Shuling was old and had to sit down.

I finally made it to the end of the imperial examination.

However, for this palace examination, the candidates could not leave the palace immediately. The twelve people were taken to the side hall, where they were provided with bowls and food, but no one could leave anyway.

The candidates looked at each other, a little panicked, but they did not dare to ask, because Yu Linwei had a sinister look on his face, and they were afraid that if they said anything more, they would die in the palace.

There were two timid candidates who were trembling with fear and restless.

"I didn't cheat or commit any crime. Why are I being detained here?" The examinee's face turned pale and he looked as if he was about to faint at any time.

Others also expressed their opinions.

One of the candidates rolled his eyes and said: "That's right, we didn't commit any crime, so why are we being detained here? Why don't we ask Mr. Zhongshu Ling to argue, candidates are human beings too!"

Someone has been incited.

"Everyone, please be patient. Your Majesty just wants us to stay in the palace, where we will have food and a bed to sleep on. This is not punishment or torture, so there is no need to be nervous." Lu Lin's voice was like a spring breeze, soothing everyone's panic.

The provocative candidate glared at him: "Detaining us here without access, how is this any different from torture?"

"Probably, someone among us cheated, and His Majesty is investigating now." Lu Lin said coldly, "If you are innocent, then there is nothing to fear."

The examinee's face instantly turned pale, and he was trembling for a long time without being able to speak.

After listening to Lu Lin's words, the others thought that they had not cheated and everything was in order, and they instantly felt a lot more at ease.

Afterwards, I ate when I needed to eat, slept when I needed to sleep, and didn’t have so much mind to worry about other things.

The lights in the Wenwu Hall are brightly lit.

Originally there were only twelve test papers, but Yan Hong went out and brought another one.

"Father, please take a look." After Yan Hong finished speaking, he stood quietly to one side.

Chu Jifeng briefly went through the test paper, his face was gloomy, and he called Zhongshu Ling to come over and take a look.

Zhongshu Ling squinted his eyes and took the exam paper under the candlestick. He was equally shocked.

He took out an examination paper and said, "What's going on with this candidate named Zhou Yuanbao? He didn't write a few words, and he was just talking nonsense."

There are no problems with the other exam papers. They all have their own opinions. It just depends on who is more outstanding.

Then he was also puzzled and said: "Aren't there only twelve people taking part in the palace examination? Why is there an extra examination paper?"

Yan Hong replied: "Because the extra one is the question answered by the real top twelve candidates."

Zhong Shuling was still a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"Because among the candidates who took the palace examination in the Wenwu Hall today, one of them bought a spot with money, so my brother asked that person to answer the paper in the side hall next to it. Excluding this examination paper, there are still twelve examination papers."

Yan Yu explained.

The two examiners in the hall were already stunned.

This...what is going on?!

Is it a game?!

Before Chu Jifeng could attack, the two men's bones softened and they knelt down.

Chu Jifeng sneered coldly, "You are aware of yourself. You don't need to be angry with me. Just kneel down and apologize first."

One of the examiners was lying on the ground, his voice trembling: "I'm going to die! But...but this is His Highness the King of Chu's idea, I'm just cooperating!"

When the other examiner saw this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged this! He saw His Majesty returning to the court and couldn't hide it, so he exposed it first."

Putting this matter on Yan Hong's head may make it a minor issue.

Selling test questions and quota for scientific examinations is a major crime against the Nine Tribes.

Yan Hong's expression was calm and he was not in a hurry to defend himself.

Zhongshu Ling became even more confused and said: "Is what you said true? Is there any evidence?"

The examiner said anxiously: "Yes! What the King of Chu received were silver notes, all with marks on them. As long as your majesty sends people to search the palace of the King of Chu, they will definitely find it! Those candidates who spent money to cheat have also seen the King of Chu with their own eyes.

!”

They concluded that Yan Hong would not exchange the banknotes so quickly. After all, the denominations were large, and Yan Hong could only exchange them in batches.

Even if there is only one banknote left, that is enough.

Zhongshu Ling frowned and was confused. He didn't know whether he should ask Chu Jifeng to order a thorough investigation.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jifeng took out a stack of things and said slowly: "Are you talking about these banknotes?"

The examiner looked up. Because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly whether the banknotes were marked or not.

Chu Jifeng thought they were blind, so he just threw out a banknote so that they could see clearly.

After all, a bank note is worth one thousand taels, so how could he be willing to throw it all away?

The banknotes fell in front of the examiners, and they saw the mark on them at a glance.

Suddenly, my heart was trembling.

They suddenly looked at Yan Hong, shocked and angry.

These banknotes are in His Majesty's hands. It is conceivable that Chu Jifeng has known about it for a long time. This is a trap set up by their father and son!

Zhongshu Ling also understood at this time and asked: "Has your Majesty already known this?"

"I know." Chu Jifeng quickly asked the eunuch to pick up the banknote, "Originally, I didn't have to rush back, but because of you morons, I can't go sightseeing. Now I feel very angry. Then

I can only... punish you nine clans to vent their anger."

After hearing this, the examiner rolled his eyes and fainted.

Chu Jifeng snorted coldly when he saw this, "Are you scared to death? How dare you accept bribes?"

"Father, my son sent people to monitor the Jiang Mansion. He is the mastermind behind the scenes. Do you want to capture him?" Yan Hong asked.

After months of planning, we can only wait for now.

Chu Jifeng immediately asked: "Where is his bank?"

"A house in the suburbs." Yan Hong said.

Originally, Jiang Zhe brought many experts with him, and it was difficult for the secret guards to follow him and investigate. Fortunately, the little cutie was there.

"Can someone keep an eye on me?" Chu Jifeng then asked.

"There are several secret guards nearby."

"How many? They are indeed too young!" Chu Jifeng stood up suddenly, "Although the city gate was closed as soon as night fell, today is the imperial examination, and Jiang Zhe is a veteran, so he will definitely be prepared."

Jiang Zhe has done this kind of thing many times, so he knows that it won't be perfect every time.

He immediately ordered the Yulin Guards to prepare fast horses and lead people forward.

As for the Jiang Mansion, which is located in Lidu, it can be searched at any time, but the money in the bank is the people's treasure, so it must not be transported away!

Yan Hong and Yan Yu looked at each other and quickly followed.

It was late at night, and a large number of Habayashi guards were suddenly dispatched from the palace, which was very eye-catching.
Chapter completed!
