Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 553 The death of Xu Chen, the imperial examination case
"That's impossible."

Jin Xu was very surprised: "If you say that you can cheat in other exams, how can you cheat in the palace exam? His Majesty personally asked the question, and only His Majesty knows the questions."

"It can't be His Majesty leaking the question."

"But that's what it is."

Du Yong looked furious, and said urgently: "It is impossible in this world for two people to have the same thinking and even the same words and sentences. Ziling's essay has become the answer sheet of the palace examination, and this is the result."

"And, it was premeditated."

He spoke every word, making it impossible to refute, and the glaring facts made people feel chills.

The light in Yan Yun's eyes changed, and after a while, he said in a concentrated voice: "Who is the scroll that is exactly the same as his article?"

This question can be described as sharp.

Du Yong swallowed, then said in a deep voice, "Tan Hua Lang, Li Mi!"

As soon as these five words were uttered, Su Rao suddenly tightened her hand on the table, and asked in a low voice after a long while: "You said... Li Mi was the one who cheated?"

"it's him."

Du Yong replied without thinking.

Countless pictures and clues swirled in her mind at this moment, and the mystery that had puzzled her for a long time gradually dissipated. It turned out that the clues connecting Li Mi and Xu Chen were actually like this?

Pulling away from her messy thoughts, she asked, "After that, how did Zhou Ziling disappear?"

"Zi Ling and I originally wanted to report to the police, but after we calmed down, we held back."

Du Yong looked at Jin Xu, "As Mr. Jin said, cheating in the imperial examination is unbelievable. We wouldn't dare to make a conclusion rashly if we didn't have the evidence in front of us. If we want to identify Tanhua of the dynasty based on that manuscript, maybe You have to be beaten up."

"What's more, if there is one Li Mi, there will definitely be a second, a third... The people behind the scenes dare to get involved in the scientific research and do things under His Majesty's nose. "

"At this moment, Ziling mentioned Elder Xu."

Zhou Ziling said that Mr. Xu had quite a lot of contacts in the court, and he also served in the Imperial Academy. He had a teacher-student friendship with many officials, and he was an upright person without being involved in the court. Maybe he could give an idea.

The two went to see Xu Chen.

"Mr. Xu asked us to go back first, saying that he would think about the future before making plans. As a result, Ling received a message the next day, asking him to bring the evidence to the bamboo house to meet up. I happened to be delayed that day, so I didn't accompany him. , Who knows that he never came back after this trip, but he waited for his dictionaries."

Du Yong regretted it.

"When did Zhou Ziling go to the appointment?"

Su Rao asked.

Du Yong replied: "It is the day before Ci Xue, No. 18."

The time is right.

Su Rao continued to ask: "Then what happened next?"

"Later, I felt something was wrong when I got the letter of resignation. I understand Ziling's temperament. Even if his family is seriously ill, he would not behave in such a sloppy manner, let alone at the critical juncture of investigating fraud in the imperial examination."

Du Yong found Xu Chen and asked him about Zhou Ziling's whereabouts.

"Mr. Xu said that he never sent any message to anyone."

Du Yong seemed to be crying and laughing, and when he said this, he fell down on the ground in a slump, "We made up our minds and guessed that something happened to Ziling. Someone knew what we were doing and tried to stop it by any means."

"Mr. Xu was afraid that something would happen to me, so he didn't let me go back to the city, so he hid me in a farmhouse he helped, and told me not to show up for a short time, and leave Ziling's matter to him."

"Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days, the news of Mr. Xu's death came instead."

After Xu Chen's death, he knew that the people behind the scenes did it, but he couldn't do anything. In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore. After learning that the new prison order was investigating the case, he had an idea in his heart.

Du Yong looked at Su Rao and said: "Xiaosheng knows that Su Jianling is an outsider, and he is in an embarrassing situation in Shengjing. This first case is very important to you. You will investigate it carefully. I can't enter the city, but you have to investigate the case." Definitely come to investigate the site.”

"That day, I was already close to the bamboo house, but before I got there, I found someone staring at me, so I could only hide in the distance and watch you leave."

"Later, people from the Imperial City Department went to the bamboo house to search."

"After I got the news, I rushed over. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by those who had been prepared. I chased them all the way. Fortunately, when my life was hanging by a thread, I passed by some escorts and was rescued by them."

Du Yong pressed his hand on his arm, the wound there was painful, but no matter how painful it was, it was not as painful as the pain in his heart. The life and death of his best friend was unknown, and his mentor was in trouble.

There is only one left, he is burdened with the expectations of the two and the big secret, and he doesn't know what to do...

"Then how did you separate from the Escort and meet Mr. Jin?"

After Su Rao asked, Du Yong said bitterly: "Someone is looking for me outside the city, I can't let the bodyguard bear the risk because of selfishness, so I left voluntarily."

"Then I've been trying to find a way to get into town."

"I think we made a mistake at the beginning. If we bring this case to the public, people behind the scenes may be offended, but there will also be many loyal and honest officials involved in the court, and we will not be so isolated and helpless. life."

"But no matter how regretful I was, I never found the right opportunity."

"Until I ran into Mr. Jin's carriage by accident."

Du Yong looked at Jin Xu gratefully, "Young Master Jin has a special status and is on good terms with the prince, so he will never check his car in detail when he enters the city. I know this is the only chance, so I got into his car when he was not prepared. "

Later, when Jin Xu got in the car, he was almost taken aback by him. After finally explaining her identity and situation clearly, Jin Xu agreed to help him.

He didn't dare to tell the inside story of the imperial examination fraud case, but only said that he was hunted down because he knew about Mr. Xu's death, and successfully followed him here.

I met Yan Shizi.

And... her.

"Get up quickly, and have a tea break first."

Seeing that he talked too much, Su Rao was exhausted, and was about to help him up, but Du Yong quickly refused, "I don't dare to do it, I will do it myself."

He put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up, but after kneeling for too long, his legs felt like needles, and the pain continued.

"Okay, don't be brave."

Jin Xu rushed to his side and dragged him up, helped him to sit next to him, and then looked at Su Rao and Yan Yun, what should we do now?

This involved two murders.

And the justice and law of the court.

Once this case broke out, it would definitely be more sensational than the peach blossom feast throwing away the body and Xu Chen being burned. The imperial court set up imperial examinations and selected talents to become officials. .

Du Yong also looked at the two of them with expectation in his eyes.

Su Rao was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head, "Why are you waiting for me, do you believe me?"

Du Yong didn't expect her to ask such a question, he pondered for a long time, and a kind smile appeared on his pale face: "The name of the supervisor is very famous. When you first took up this position, the students clamored to go to the Zhuquemen to kneel and admonish me. I went with Ziling, but Ziling refused."

"I asked him why, and he said, a girl who can cry out for the dead and take a picture of her looking for relatives will definitely be a good official in the future."

　　Thanks to the cuties for the recommendation votes. My confusion is barely over when I write this. These days are too tangled, and I almost got myself involved, making a crime~
　　But... there are a lot of clues and follow-up foreshadowing. Babies, try not to skip chapters as much as possible, otherwise you may not be able to connect to the plot, and there will be a feeling of fragmentation. I was lazy a few days ago and didn’t memorize the manuscript, but I wrote something myself I even forgot... errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

　　As usual, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation, ask for a subscription~!
