Chapter 252 Who Do You Think Leaked My Palace Examination Questions?Be the first to attack!

"Wang Zhijian?"

Zhang Haogu looked at the information in his hand, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

This information was investigated by Zhang Haogu's government officials. It said that Wang Zhijian, as the servant of the household department, accepted bribes from local officials.

To be precise, it was not bribes from local officials, but bribes from Shanxi.

It's Shanxi Merchants!
Wang Zhijian sold a large number of sweet potatoes to Shanxi merchants in private.

Today, although Zhang Haogu is vigorously promoting sweet potatoes, overall, these sweet potatoes are strictly controlled, and private trading is not allowed, especially private large-scale trading.

It is also the Jurchens who are on guard.

Occasionally smuggling a piece or two of sweet potatoes is not a problem at all. When the Jurchens cultivate large-scale sweet potatoes, it will be impossible for decades.

Unless it is sold in large quantities to the Jurchens.

This batch of sweet potatoes was originally intended to be expanded to sweet potatoes in the capital and Shandong. At the end of this year, it will be reconciled with the Ministry of Accounts. During the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes, Zhang Haogu is responsible for the increase in sweet potatoes in each region. as recorded.

Now, there are bad debts for no reason, bad debts, and now, after checking, they found Wang Zhijian's head.

This Wang Zhijian is also Zhang Haogu's confidant, but obviously he did not take a step further, but Zhang Ruitu has now become a cabinet scholar, and this Wang Zhijian is still the Minister of the Household Department.

Also started to embezzle, especially, this kind of strategic material was actually sold to the Jurchens, besides...

Wang Zhijian bought a large amount of land and hid it to evade taxes from the New Deal. These things were also investigated by the government officials.

However, just when Zhang Haogu was about to investigate, Wang Zhijian disappeared.

I didn't come to the household department to be on duty today.

Zhang Haogu narrowed his eyes, but a bad feeling rose in his heart.

This Wang Zhijian is more or less holding his own handle. If he really exposes his cheating in the imperial examination, it will be enough for Zhang Haogu to destroy him forever.

Although the dog emperor has a good relationship with himself now, if the dog emperor knows that he is cheating in the imperial examination, how will he treat himself?

The top priority is to find Wang Zhijian as soon as possible.

"If Wang Zhijian can't be found, or in other words, what if Wang Zhijian strikes first?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

calm!calm!
Zhang Haogu repeatedly warned himself to be calm, and then he quickly called Zhang An, and Zhang An hurried to find Wei Zhongxian.

At noon, Zhang Haogu got the news very quickly, and Eunuch Wei invited him to go over and talk about it.

When Zhang Haogu came over, there were two other people present, one was Jinyi Wei Ke Guangxian, and the other was Zhang Ruitu. At this moment, the faces of the three were not so good-looking.

Is the imperial examination fraud going to be exposed?
The three of them can't escape any relationship. Ke Guangxian is responsible for covering up the famous post given by Eunuch Wei and the examination paper written by Zhang Ruitu. Now Ke Guangxian is probably the one who has committed the least crime among these few people.

"Eunuch Wei, why be nervous!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, sat down calmly, and said with a smile: "But where is Wang Zhijian now?"

"At Han Yu's house!" Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Brother, fortunately you discovered it early. Now, the Donglin Party may already know our secret!"

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help clenching his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard, how dare you betray me, brother!"

What should we do now?
Zhang Ruitu said anxiously: "If the emperor knows, what should I do?"

"Father-in-law, Xiangye, in my humble opinion, it's better to rush in, arrest Wang Zhijian, and then chop up the body with knives, so as to eradicate this scourge!" Ke Guangxian on the side quickly said: "As long as he shuts up obediently!" , there is nothing that can threaten us!"

"That's a way!" Wei Zhongxian nodded fiercely.

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

Zhang Haogu shook his head, and said quickly: "If I were Han Yu, and if I arrested Wang Zhijian, the first step would be to ask him to write a confession. At this time, it doesn't matter whether Wang Zhijian is dead or alive. Your Majesty believes that I have cheated in the imperial examinations, as long as your Majesty thoroughly investigates it, we will kill Wang Zhijian, but it will appear that we are trying to cover up!"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but frowned, and Zhang Ruitu on the side said, "Master Zhang, look, what should we do?"

"The crux of the problem actually lies with the emperor!" Zhang Haogu smiled, and continued: "I think, everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. A mere Wang Zhijian will not scare you like this, even if it is So what if he fell into the hands of the Donglin Party?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu said calmly: "You think, who leaked the exam questions to us!"

A group of people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yup!

Seriously speaking, during Zhang Haogu's palace exam, whoever leaked the exam questions to him, wasn't it the dog emperor Zhu Youxiao?
The dog emperor was also one of their conspirators.

Even, a group of people doubted whether Zhang Haogu had known the dog emperor Zhu Youxiao for a long time.

At the moment, Wei Zhongxian said: "Since that's the case, brother, we don't need to worry about anything. As long as the emperor is on our side, the Donglin Party will have nothing to worry about!"

"Not at all!"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "If the matter becomes serious, if the entire scholarly society and the gentry publicize that I am the No. [-] scholar in exchange for fraudulent imperial examinations, I am afraid that the emperor will lose face!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Then what do you mean, bro!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Brother, how did the investigation of Wang Huazhen go?"

Wei Zhongxian immediately smiled and said: "Brother, I have already found out, there are a lot of tricks in it!"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Collect up the information, and then hand it over to Han Lin, let him go to court tomorrow, act first, and expose this matter, the battle of Guangning, a big confrontation, the battle of the Ming army In a big defeat, Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi retreated to Baoshan Pass, the court lost 14 troops, and all the land in western Liaoning was lost. This Wang Huazhen is Ye Xianggao's disciple. Something detonated it!!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu clenched his fist suddenly, his eyes exuded a bit of ferocity: "If you want to cover up one thing, use another bigger thing to cover it up. This time, we will give Donglin Party A serious injury will hurt their muscles and bones, and even their vitality will be seriously injured!"
