"Princess." A woman in a black cloak came behind Zhao Yuanrong and said.

"Didn't I tell you to call Childe outside?" Zhao Yuanrong said in a very stern tone.

"Yes, Childe, it has been found out, King Chong's Mansion has entered the secret envoys of the five princes before, and King Chong may have something to do with the five princes. You sent lowly people to Chongwang's mansion to keep an eye on him, can you kidnap the county lord of Huaizhu and test Chongwang's attitude? The woman in the black cloak asked.

Zhao Yuanrong glanced at the woman coldly again, and said: "The power struggle has nothing to do with the family, Huaizhu is just a little girl who doesn't know the world, even if you want to let King Chong obey, you can't do anything to Huaizhu!" Remember! ”

"Yes, Childe!" The woman replied respectfully.

Waiting for the woman to leave, Zhao Yuanrong seemed to be thoughtful, sighed lightly and whispered to himself: "Xuan'er, being born in the emperor's family is your luck, and it is also your misfortune, as a sister, I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime, but I really hope that you can find an ordinary person to be a father-in-law, love you and cherish you, and give you a complete home in the future." ”

After Zhao Yuanrong finished speaking, he greeted him, and the group went to the teahouse, they did not go to the front door, but from the back door.

The stupid Zhao Yuanxuan didn't know that the Chongwang Mansion had completely entered the surveillance of Princess Wenren, and she had been followed since she went out, and her meeting with Zhao Yuanrong was not a "chance encounter", but Zhao Yuanrong deliberately came to meet her and tested King Chong's attitude from her mouth.

Just when Zhao Yuanrong thought that what he had done was not revealed, and the next step was to do things against King Chong and ****** people, in the rice shop opposite the teahouse, there was a woman who was also dressed in men's clothes, with her back to the outside, secretly looking at all this.

"This son, you have been picking rice for a while, do you want to buy japonica rice or white rice, you give a word!" The shopkeeper of the rice shop was also annoyed in the end, and after this person came in, he was picking, and he didn't mean to buy rice for a long time.

"Give me two catties of black rice, two catties of red rice, mixed together, I grab a handful, the amount of red rice and black rice must be equal!" The woman in men's clothing gave the shopkeeper a problem.

The shopkeeper of the rice shop was annoyed and was about to have a seizure, when he saw the silver in the woman's hand, he immediately changed his smile and said, "You wait, I'll go and weigh the rice." ”

As soon as the person turned around, when he turned his head again, the man and the woman had already walked away, but the silver was still on the table, and was grabbed by the shopkeeper of the rice shop in his arms, rubbed twice and carried it into his arms.

The woman walked out of the rice shop, thinking that Princess Wenren and the others would walk along the road, but she didn't expect to leave from the backyard of the teahouse, it would be difficult for her to hide her traces if she wanted to track it, after all, it was not a dark night to fly on the wall, she could only temporarily give up the plan of tracking and surveillance.

When there was a worried look in her eyes, she had realized that this time the matter was not simple, not only involving the crown prince and the five princes, but even Princess Wenren appeared in person.

And this person is the female disciple Shangguan Gongzi who assisted the prince in ascending the throne and was sent by the altar to assist the prince in his affairs.

……

……

Ji Ning is at home, and he is also waiting for the final conclusion of the bribery case in the township.

The Luming banquet was temporarily canceled, and even the name of the text was not followed by going to the Temple of Literature, all parties were waiting for the court to give the next conclusion, and the scholars were still making trouble in front of the Temple of Literature and the government every day, Ji Ning knew that he was alone, even if he went out, he couldn't do anything, but he might as well become the target of those resentful scholars, so he might as well stay at home and prepare for the next year's exam.

Ji Ning knew very well that he had not bribed the exam, his position of Xie Yuan was justified, and he was not afraid of shadows, even if the imperial court and the Confucian Temple investigated afterwards, it would not affect his reputation as a person, and he would definitely be able to participate in the Jinshi exam next year.

I've already started preparing for the exam, but now it's good to study more, even if there is a disturbance outside the window, he can still keep a normal heart reading indoors.

Ji Ning also noticed that after he asked Yu Ling to send the letter, the little girl was not happy for the past few days, she was sullen alone, as if she had a lot of worries, since it was the heart of the youngest daughter's family, Ji Ning didn't ask.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, it has been six days since the end of the township test list, and the Confucian Temple finally has a move, it is said that the person sent to investigate the case has arrived at the Tribute Yuan in Jinling City, but the Confucian Temple came to investigate only the cause of Feng Xuanqing's death, not to investigate the bribery case, the only one who can really track down the bribery examination case and overturn the final results of the township examination is the imperial court.

On this morning, Tang Xie and Han Yu came to tell Ji Ning the news, and by the way, Ji Ning didn't have to worry, because the imperial court obviously wanted to make the big thing small, and had ordered the local yamen in Jinling to drive away the candidates who had gathered outside the Gongyuan and the Confucian Temple.

Ji Ning didn't think that this could alleviate the contradictions, but thought that it would intensify the contradictions, and in the end, the imperial court had to conduct a thorough investigation of this township test.

But Jinling City is far away from the capital after all, and the news has reached the capital, and the envoys of the capital need to arrive in Jinling City after the tenth day of September.

“…… Now the papers of the candidates in the Gongyuan have been sealed, if there is no change, the imperial court envoys come, with the emperor's order to open the examination papers, and then call the doubtful papers to test before learning, maybe will find some scholars to listen, then as long as Yongning you play normally, then others must also admire your talents, then your position can be stable. Han Yu analyzed the final possibility of the matter.

Ji Ning nodded and said, "I hope so, but if the imperial court doesn't investigate, but settles the matter, I will still have trouble." ”

"Yongning doesn't need to worry too much, no matter how rude the people in the court are, they have to give an account to the people of the world, not to mention that most of the people involved in the case this time are wealthy families in Jinling City, and the influence of these wealthy families on the Great Yong Dynasty is no worse than a few ordinary scholars? Which is more important, the court also has to weigh it, which side is less worthy of offending! "Tang Xie himself is a child of the Wang clan, and speaking Huazong is also the arrogance of the children of the Wang clan.

Ji Ning said: "Having said that, but the imperial court wants to stabilize the world after all, this bribery case involves the game of some forces in the imperial court, if someone sincerely wants to drag down the Wang clan involved in Jinling City, even if these wang clans can have some connections in the court, it is likely that they will still end up in the end of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!" ”

"It's not that serious, is it?" Tang Xie listened to Ji Ning's analysis, and even he was not sure.

Han Yu also said: "Yongning is still thinking too much, right?" Those power games between the DPRK and China shouldn't win over the prominent families in Jinling City? Destroy them once, I'm afraid they can't afford the consequences of the chaos in Jinling City, right? ”

"Let's wait and see what happens." Ji Ning said, "I just want to ignore what is going on outside the window now, and I will be free of myself regardless of the bloody wind and rain outside!" ”
