Chapter 205: Luo Zheng’s new discovery, capture
After Changsun Wuji and others came forward, the candidates obviously stopped causing trouble.
But just because they are no longer making trouble does not mean that they have no opinions, they are still full of resentment.
There are still many people who don't believe that they bet on the right question, but think that someone leaked it.
After Gao Shenxing revealed the news, the candidates realized that there were other candidates who also bet on the correct question.
Therefore, even though the storm seems to have subsided, the candidates are still full of resentment and are still privately dissatisfied.
Candidates for the Beijing Examination come from many families, and the candidates can pass the news back to their families if they make a slight move.
Changsun Wuji's family is very large, and he soon learned that the candidates were still dissatisfied, and he was worried about this happening again.
After all, he is mainly responsible for resolving candidates' problems.
"Chong'er, stop your messy business for a moment."
"Ask your friends to help keep an eye on it. No candidates are allowed to cause trouble during the Beijing Examination!"
Changsun Wuji called Changsun Chong and said in a deep voice.
He already knew that Changsun Chong, Qin Huaiyu and others were engaged in various businesses.
Except for the good sales of liquor, Changsun Wuji didn’t pay attention to other things.
From his position, it would have been foolish for Changsun Chong not to concentrate on his post as Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple.
However, the position of Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple is just a formality. I will definitely not stay in that position forever in the future, so I will just follow Changsun Chong.
"Don't worry, dad, we've already started watching."
Changsun Chong nodded solemnly.
Before this, Fang Yuan had contacted him.
Let him and Qin Huaiyu put down their business for a while.
Focus on the Beijing Examination, keep an eye on the candidates and prevent them from causing trouble.
"Have you started staring?"
Changsun Wuji frowned and looked at Changsun Chong in confusion.
"Entrusted by Fang Yuan."
"You also know that I am doing business with him now."
Changsun Chong smiled and explained.
As the legitimate son, Changsun Chong is relatively casual in front of Changsun Wuji.
"Go ahead."
Changsun Wuji frowned even deeper.
I would like to persuade eldest son Chong Shao to get closer to Fang Yuan.
But after thinking about it, I felt that the emperor seemed to have special trust in Fang Yuan, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Although Fang Yuan has offended many people and will definitely be protected by others, those people do not dare to touch his son even if they hurt Fang Yuan.
"Okay, bye dad."
Changsun stood up, saluted, and then left.
After Chang Sun Chong left, Chang Sun Wuji sat quietly in the study for a while and called the housekeeper.
"Go and see what the young master has done recently. I want to be more detailed."
......
The other side.
Pei Ji also learned the news.
But at the same time, a candidate asked to see him.
"Liu Xingfa of the Liu family in Jie County?"
"Is it Liu Xingfa who is rumored to have a chance to enter the top three?"
Pei Ji asked the housekeeper beside him, unsure.
I like to hear that the Pei family, the Liu family in Jie County, and the Xue family in Fenyin are called the three tribes of Hedong.
Liu Xingfa has a good reputation among the three tribes in Hedong, and Pei Ji, who is in a high position, has also heard of him.
"Exactly."
This is the butler's answer.
"Then let's meet."
Pei Ji pondered for a moment and asked someone to summon Liu Xingfa.
Not long after, Liu Xingfa entered Pei's house and met with Pei Ji.
"Uncle Pei, my nephew has something to report to you."
Liu Xingfa said respectfully.
"My good nephew sat down and talked."
Pei Ji nodded and said friendly.
"The candidates made trouble in the inn last night. It seemed to have calmed down, but in fact everyone was very upset."
"It just so happens that I know part of the truth and can deduce with a high probability who leaked the test questions."
Liu Xingfa whispered.
"You all stand down."
Pei Ji frowned and waved back.
Soon, Pei Ji and Liu Xingfa were the only two people in the living room.
"It's Yang Yuzhi who is Qianniu Beizhen. He has a good relationship with the third prince."
Liu Xingfa did not hesitate and told Pei Ji decisively what he knew.
He didn't ask for favors, and he didn't hesitate because he was facing Pei Ji.
"Do you think it was the third prince who leaked the question?"
Pei Ji frowned even more tightly.
He is one of the people who know the test questions, and he also knows those who know the questions.
Among them, the third prince Li Ke is the person who knows the test questions, so it is not impossible that he leaked the questions.
"We can only determine the former, not the latter."
Liu Xingfa shook his head and nodded again.
It was a matter of concern to the prince, and he did not dare to overestimate it.
"Is the news accurate?"
Pei Ji asked again.
"Exactly."
"The candidate who won the correct answer told me this."
Liu Xingfa said respectfully.
Candidates from the Boling Cui family and the Hongnong Yang family generally didn't care much about it, and seemed to talk about the topic to many people.
Maybe they maintain their identity and never worry about being investigated. After all, many people in their family will win every imperial examination.
It is only now that there is news that Fang Yuan leaked the test questions, which will arouse the anger of the candidates and cause Li Shimin to entrust Fang Yuan to investigate secretly.
"The candidates who won the correct question...do you know the candidates from Liaozhou?"
Pei Ji murmured and quickly thought of another point.
"Knowing."
Liu Xingfa was stunned and then answered.
He was in Liaozhou from the beginning and was banned from traveling by Fang Yuan.
It was after Fang Yuan left that he left Liaozhou and returned to Bingzhou to take the exam.
If not, Liu Xingfa can be considered a candidate from Liaozhou.
Therefore, Liu Xingfa knew the candidates from Liaozhou.
"It was Fang Yuan who leaked the question, right?"
Pei Ji asked again.
To be continued...
