Chapter 838 Doubt
Li Xiruo sat down straight and looked at the two kneeling on the ground. Qiao Shu was afraid of her, while Han Qi was frightened by Qiao Shu's submission to Li Xiruo. He knew that Qiao Shu was not human. , a human form transformed from a spirit, and Li Xiruo scared her like this just by standing in front of her. He guessed in his heart that Li Xiruo was not a bigger monster, so he just knelt aside and didn't dare to look up.

Li Xiruo looked at Qiao Shu and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do with this kid?"

Qiao Shu took a look at Han Qi, knelt down obediently and lied beside him without any sign of difference: "Mr. Han is kind to me, and I stay by his side to repay his kindness."

Han Qi stared at Qiao Shu with wide-eyed eyes. She is still far away now, and she is repaying his greatest kindness.When he rushed to Beijing for the exam, he saw a pitiful little hamster, protecting her from the wind and rain in his arms. Who would have known that the monster turned into a beautiful human being, and turned upside down with him. Following her way, he took her to the capital and became her pawn.

Han Qi's fear was palpable, and she naturally didn't believe Qiao Shu's words: "I don't care what you are doing, but as long as it is related to Chen Xin, you will not be allowed to intervene, causing chaos."

Li Xiruo stood up, and wanted to imprison Qiao Shu for the time being, and release her after the palace examination, but Qiao Shu had already noticed it, pushed Han Qi towards Li Xiruo, and shot three poisonous sticks. The needle was on Han Qi's face, and he turned into his original form and fled quickly.

Li Xiruo looked at Han Qi who was lying on the ground, and stopped in her tracks. Qiao Shu was not a good monster, and the poisonous needle she gave Han Qi was enough to kill Han Qi.Li Xiruo used magic to stop the poisonous blood flowing all over Han Qi's body, and pulled out the poisonous needle on his face, but Han Qi couldn't wake up no matter what.

Li Xiruo squinted her eyes when she saw Han Qi's injury. Qiao Shu was killing people to silence her. She must have something bigger to hide from her.

Xu Changze was overjoyed to know that Zhuang Juzi was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, but he never thought that Chen Xin's fate would be so serious that he escaped a catastrophe. He managed to bribe the people in the tribute courtyard. I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Xu Changze can only let people keep a close eye on Chen Xin's movements. Anyway, he has burned his left arm now, and no one has any evidence to point out that he, a Zhigongju, left the lockup court privately. Even if Chen Xin goes to sue, it will not be a good one. .

Thinking about it this way, he was relieved a lot, the emperor was deciding who could be the Zhongshu Sheren, and he couldn't make any mistakes at this juncture.

Just as he was sighing, he saw his little concubine swinging back and forth in the courtyard with a golden step in her hand. The imperial court has been very strict in investigating corruption and accepting bribes this year. Seeing the concubine's flamboyant appearance, she was so angry that she hurriedly called the housekeeper.

"How does Madam manage money? Does a concubine have to spend so much money to buy gold hairpins?"

The steward glanced at the concubine who was enjoying herself in the yard, bowed her head and said, "Master, as far as this servant knows, this money is paid by the third aunt herself."

Xu Changze frowned: "It's just a daughter of a cloth shop, where did she get so much money?"

"This slave doesn't know, but I heard that San Yiniang repaid the money owed by my mother's brother a few days ago."

Xu Changze has heard about this incident, his concubine's brother owed a bad debt outside to ask for money, of course he would not pay it, and the third aunt mentioned this in front of him just crying and fussing, It had subsided a little in the past few days, and he thought it was the concubine's mother's family who paid it back, but according to the housekeeper, the money was still paid by him.

Xu Changze hurried over and grabbed the concubine's wrist: "Where did you get the money?"

The third aunt froze for a moment, and her expression began to falter. Xu Changze thought she was stealing someone at first when he saw her, but after some pressing questions, his heart choked up blood. Now he would rather this aunt steal someone than Believe what comes out of her mouth.

"How could I put something as important as the test question on the desk without covering it, tell me honestly, where did you steal it?"

The third aunt's face was full of tears: "Master, it's true, I just saw the topic on the table, and then I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I sold it to those Juren."

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky!" Xu Changze kicked the third aunt away, and that kick hit her in the stomach, but Xu Changze had only one thought, that he was done for, and his concubine vented the problem through the servants. If the impact is serious, it will be the disaster of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.His scalp felt numb all of a sudden, as if a guillotine was hanging above his head, it would fall down and cut off his neck immediately.

He touched the back of his neck that was chilling, and turned around to send someone to prepare the horse quickly, but he was even more startled when he saw that Third Aunt's lower body was covered in blood. He didn't expect this concubine to be happy. One step, partly because of children.He had quite a few wives and concubines, but he never had children, and it was not easy to conceive one now, but he ended up like this. He lowered his head and mourned, thinking that this might be retribution.

The third aunt endured the pain and cried and begged Xu Changze to let her go. She didn't lie at all. The sudden appearance of the topic on the table made her unable to resist the temptation, and she only sold the topic of the second poem, and she knew the rest It was a capital offense, and she didn't dare to spread it to the outside world. After all, she only collected 500 taels, and the remaining 1000 taels of silver could only be pocketed after the matter was completed.

Xu Changze was not in the mood to listen to her explaining these things. He only knew that if he exposed the cheating in the examination room, he would be completely ruined.The only person he can think of who can help him now is Wu Zhong. When he entered the Gongyuan and became a Jinshi, he was supported by Wu Zhong. He is Wu Zhong's disciple, and now he can only rely on him.

Since Wu Zhong was implicated by Wu Chengyun and was deprived of the position of senior scholar, he only had an official title, and his popularity was not as good as before. People who see the wind and the rudder can see the direction of the wind, so they don't come to Wu's mansion anymore. Even people like Xu Changze, who are deeply favored, have reduced their contacts, fearing that they will be implicated.When Wu Zhong saw him, he didn't have a good face either.

Xu Changze saluted, stood by Wu Zhong's side, and said a lot of flattering words in exchange for the opportunity to be alone with Wu Zhong, but Wu Zhong's expression changed after hearing his words: "You are too courageous!" When you grow up, you dare to do such a thing, if you go out now, I just pretend that I haven't heard about it, so you can do it yourself."

Xu Changze immediately knelt down for him: "I swear on my life that I will never reveal the question, but I don't know where my concubine's room came from. I still can't figure it out."

These kinds of secrets are only known to a few important people, and he certainly wouldn't put them on the table directly, but the concubine's room insisted that it was on the table, so he was strangely nervous.

Wu Zhong looked at Xu Changze kneeling and kowtowing, and it didn't look like he was telling a lie. He sat up straight and said, "Are you sure you haven't been out of the locked courtyard, and you haven't given the policy to others."

"I don't have the guts to do this. What's more, I know the position of Zhongshu Sheren. The emperor is paying attention to the candidates. How can I risk my life for a mere 2000 taels of silver and cut off my official career."

Wu Zhong pondered for a while, but he sneered: "You are not the only one in Zhongshushe who is thinking about it. If I remember correctly, Deng Wenyuan, Cao Shilang of He Wenzong's faction, was also elected as Zhigong Ju."

Xu Changze thought for a while: "My lord, you mean that he designed to frame me."

Wu Zhong looked at him and said nothing, but Xu Changze didn't understand: "But if the issue of the strategy was leaked, they and the like can't escape the responsibility. He still can't be selected as a member of Zhongshushe."

"I'm telling you the truth now. The emperor still cares about you in this position. If you go down, he will survive for another year, and Zhongshu Sheren will be very easy for him."

Xu Changze said angrily: "No wonder my little concubine said that she met me at my desk. It seems that he has already plotted and planted people in my house, just waiting to join my army."

Wu Zhong smiled: "Maybe, this time, we can reverse them."

Li Xiruo fed Han Qi a pill, but Han Qi woke up vaguely, looked at Li Xiruo and Chen Xin standing in front of him, and murmured: "Tomorrow Xu Changze's servant will Go to Wuliting outside the city to get the remaining 1000 taels, and arrest people quickly, as long as Xu Changze is convicted, she will not harm anyone else."

Han Qi was in a coma for a day and a night. Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng rushed back. They were still discussing about reporting on Xu Changze. Li Xiruo came down and said that Han Qi had a clue.

But looking at the delirious Han Qi, Chen Xin hesitated and said, "Can you believe what he said?"

Li Xiruo glanced at Han Qi who was unconscious again and said: "He is like this, it is also related to Xu Changze, but let's not make the matter big, why don't you write a letter to Mr. He, and ask him to make a decision."

He Wenzong is the prime minister of the right and a scholar of Guanwendian. He has both power and prestige. If he can really win the evidence in one fell swoop tomorrow, he will go to the emperor, and he will be thoroughly investigated.

Chen Xin knew that He Wenzong must have doubts about himself when he wrote the letter so rashly, so he first used the name of Liu Funeng to express condolences, and then talked about the doubts he found in the examination room. If these doubts are true, then this time The examination will be a major imperial examination case.

After He Wenzong received the letter, he was also quite shocked. If everything was true as Chen Xin said, Xu Changze was not only suspected of leaking the question, but also poisoned his son in order to conceal his identity. Which of these is not a felony? Choose carefully, let the regiment trainer go to Wuliting to pick up people first, if Xu Changze really did it, then he will make Wu Zhong and others look good.

Both Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng were waiting for the results at the inn. They were afraid that Han Qi would tell a lie and make He Wenzong busy for nothing, and their perception of He Wenzong would be reduced, but they didn't expect that He Wenzong sent people back and forth, and the people had already passed away. He was caught, but it was not a servant of the Xu family, but Wen Linlang, Deng Wenyuan's son-in-law.
