Chapter 212: Crack cases in the imperial examination (IV)

It was very late at night. Today's night was terrible. Nine gates of the capital were closed. More than 20,000 Xishan Jianrui Camp entered the city and implemented a curfew in the city with the Nine Gate Admiral's Office. From the third hour of Hai, no matter who was not allowed to pass, as long as the order was not allowed, the people in the city would be killed without mercy. Because the incident suddenly began, the people in the city did not know what happened. When the curfew was announced at the first hour of Hai, it was the busiest moment of nightlife in the capital. The city was in chaos. Fortunately, all the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture were promptly guided. Under the suppression of fully armed soldiers, the situation quickly stabilized. By the third hour of Hai, the entire capital was quiet. The soldiers of Jianrui Camp walked on the streets. In addition, the only person who could walk freely on the street was the Prince's Palace wearing Prince Yi's Palace costumes.

Prince Yi's mansion was brightly lit at the main hall of the royal palace that was not lighted up. Yinzuo sat high in the hall and listened to the various situations of the Nine Gate Admiral and the various assistants from the Xishan Jianrui Camp. The nine gates were closed; the curfew had begun; all examiners in the examination hall, the ritual officers of the Ministry of Rites, and the yamen runners had been put into the Heaven Prison; the Heaven Prison was controlled by the Xishan Jianrui Camp. The capital was already in the hands of Yinzuo. Not to mention the court officials, even the princes could not travel at this time, but Yinzuo could not be happy. After listening to the reports of the commanders of various troops and horses with a serious expression, he issued a cold order: "The Nine Gate Admiral E Fu obeyed the order."

Efu, a man from the Manying Yellow Banner, was in his early forties and had a strong figure. He participated in the pacification of the Three Feudals and three Western expeditions to Galdan. He was originally a first-class guard beside Mr. Kangxi, and was released from the position of General Heilongjiang. After the deposed prince in the 40th year of Kangxi, Mr. Kangxi was specially appointed as the admiral of the Nine Gates of the Capital with the title of Minister of War. This person was loyal to Mr. Kangxi. Except for Emperor Kangxi himself, he never bought anyone's account and ruled the emperor very strictly, which was quite ruthless. At this time, he heard Yinzuo's order, and quickly walked out and said loudly: "The emperor is here."

"Mr. E, your department is responsible for the affairs of the Nine Gate. Although today is curfew, the city gate will be opened on time tomorrow morning and will not disturb the people. The tribute court is also protected by your department, so you must not disturb the scholars who are taking the exam. You should go back to the Nine Gate Admiral's Office to take charge. If there is any problem, I will ask the magistrate of the royal palace to contact me with my order." Yinzuo ordered the Lord E without hesitation.

"Sir, obey the order." E Fu called out a thousand, answered loudly, and led a group of subordinates to walk out of Yin'an Hall and headed out of the mansion.

Although there were many soldiers in the Nine Gate Admiral's yamen, Yinzuo was not at ease with them. Although Efu was not a subordinate of any prince, he was neutral on weekdays, but it was hard to say that his subordinates had all the subordinates. Of course, there were Yinzuo's own subordinates. This army was in the capital for a long time, and the components were too complicated and it was difficult to use. Yinzuo was simply not very useful, but just gave them some simple things to take charge.

E Fu Yinzuo could use the form of orders, but Yinzuo was very polite to Langzhang in Jianrui Camp in Xishan - Langzhang, a man from the white banner of Manzheng, and one of the little Buku who captured Oboi by Mr. Kangxi was always the favorite general of Mr. Kangxi. He was a sworn brother with Wu He who was previously defeated by Yinzuo. He had never dated his brothers. Yinzuo had only met this Lord Langzhang several times. Although he had talked, there were always some barriers between them because of Wu He's affairs. However, Yinzuo also knew about Langzhang's name of loyalty and righteousness, so he handed over the main tasks to Langzhang's troops.

After E Fu and his group went out, Yinzuo smiled gently and said, "Wolf Army Gate, this curfew, the task of the repeated offenders will be handed over to the Wolf Army Gate. The military gate's headquarters temporarily regards this palace as the base camp. How good is it?" Lang Zhang's face was cut with a knife. He just bent down and held his fists to agree. His behavior was quite rude. However, Yinzuo did not take it seriously and smiled and said, "Even if the main hall of the King is the military camp, if there is any need, I will ask the housekeeper to take a step first. Please take it yourself." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the backyard and headed straight to the study. The army's mobilization was extremely complicated. Although Yinzuo had something to do in his heart, he could only arrange the tasks of each army with patience. Until this time, he had time to return to Piao Astronomy

What was worried about was that the "secret arrow" led by Qingsong raided Baiyun Temple. Although Zhang Hongzhe, who claimed to have been guided by the immortal, was captured alive, the host of Baiyun Temple Zhang Deming ran away. Baiyun Temple was originally a Taoist temple with great incense in the capital. There were many good men and women, but no one expected that this temple was actually a place of dirty and dirty, and there were many secret rooms. There were many secret words. More than a hundred Taoist priests in the temple had more than half of them. Guan Zhang Deming was even a master among the masters. If Qingsong had not gone there, he would be afraid that the master who relied on the "secret arrow" alone could not deal with Baiyun Temple. Although Qingsong injured Zhang Deming, he still let the person escape from the secret passage. Although the "secret arrow" involved in the raid was prepared and unintentional, it also damaged more than a dozen people because of the hidden weapons in the temple, which made Yinzuo feel very distressed.

"Prince." When everyone in the study was discussing things, they saw Yinzuo coming in, and each stood up to salute. Yinzuo nodded without saying a word, walked straight to the upper seat and sat down, waved his hand to signal everyone to report the situation.

As the head of intelligence, Sun Chengfu stood up first and said, "Prince, 'Honghu' has captured everyone in the Sanyuan Restaurant. After torture, he found that 'Sanyuan Restaurant' had changed hands a month ago. The current owner is Zhang Hongzhe. After the trial, the young man immediately went to capture the original owner of the Sanyuan Restaurant. But it was too late. The family had been killed for many days. The body was thrown into the well. The family and the family and more than 20 servants were killed."

"Yeah." Yinzuo nodded without saying anything, looked at a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a lieutenant and said, "No. 1, how is that Zhang Hongzhe?"

No. 1 stood up and replied expressionlessly: "Reported to the master, my subordinate has proved that this person is the eldest disciple of Zhang Deming, the fugitive criminal. The test was also instructed by Zhang Deming. He only knew that the test was sent by a letter from the Ministry of Rites named Wang He. He was not very clear about which prince Baiyun Temple belongs to. He only knew that the master had never shown up in person. All the matters were conveyed by Wang He. His subordinates had already brought people to Wang He's home, but unfortunately they were one step late. Wang He had been killed at home. His subordinates had dispatched soldiers from the Jianrui Camp in Xishan to guard the Wang family. No. 3 and No. 6 had already brought people into the Wang family and waited for dawn to search again."

Damn, after being busy for a long time, all the clues were cut off. Damn, this time the fun was a big deal. The ten-day period was not successful. If there was no result, the future would be difficult. What the hell is this? Yinzuo knew the methods of interrogation of No. 1. There were very few people who could survive No. 1's torture without giving up. His words must be true. Seeing that the best clue to follow the clues was cut, Yinzuo was extremely unhappy. He waved his hand and signaled No. 1 to sit down, looking at Sun Chengfu and said, "Chengfu, does 'Honghu' have information about Baiyun Temple?"

"When I go back to my master, Zhang Deming was originally a Taoist priest from Youfang. He is said to be a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He claims to be a great skill in seeing the face. He is known as "Zhang Banxian". He came to the capital several years ago and placed a list in Baiyun Temple. Later, the original master of Baiyun Temple passed away and passed the position of the master to Zhang Deming. This person often goes to the houses of officials and officials, and is a regular visitor to all the princes' mansions. Even the third master, eighth master, and fourteenth master often go to the mansions. The master has never believed in ghosts and gods, and the fourth master believes in Buddhism. In addition, the other princes have dated him."

Hum? Damn, Zhang Deming is really an activist. Even the third and eighth brothers have had contact with this person. The fourteenth brothers have also clung to each other. Why has the fourteenth brothers never mentioned this person to me? Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? The third and eighth brothers? The eighth brothers? The fourteenth brothers are still the fourth brother who calls himself a Buddhist disciple? The fourteenth brothers are really confused. Yinzuo shook his head with some distress and said, "You take all the prisoners in their hands to the Heaven Prison, let Xishan Jianrui Camp be optimistic. You can guard No. 1 in the Heaven Prison. Don't let someone make trouble, go down."

After everyone left, Yinzuo smiled bitterly and said, "Two gentlemen, the emperor has only given a ten-day deadline. Now that the clues are broken, this scene is a bit difficult to sing."

Before Yinzuo came in, everyone had discussed it for a long time, and knew that the situation was not very good now. Although the clues of going against the trend have not been completely cut off, it was not easy to find Zhang Deming in the vast crowd. As for whether Wang He's family could find useful clues, it is still difficult to tell if they could find useful clues in Wang He's family. With such sophisticated and cunning actions of his opponent, it is estimated that the search for the Wang family tomorrow is probably the most likely to fail. Following the clues, it would not work. Then the only hope is to start from those who can get in touch with the test questions. Although all the people who can get in touch with the test questions have been put on the Internet, it is not easy to find out who is the one who missed the test questions from a total of more than a hundred people. Ten days seem long, but it is actually not enough at all.

Wu and Lin each thought silently. After a while, Lin Xuanyi analyzed: "Prince, from the time the test questions came out to the time they were sent to the tribute court, although there were many people who came into contact with the golden box, it was too difficult to do things in front of everyone. Now there are only three places that make mistakes. First, Qin Wuyong and the two eunuchs who were with him when the emperor wrote a letter were personally sealed and the two eunuchs could peek at the test questions; second, when the gold box was placed in the upper study room, the ministers on duty and the guards guarding the upper study room had the possibility of tampering with each other; third, when the ritual officials on duty were placed in the tribute court, the officials of the ritual department who were guarding the tribute court had the possibility of tampering with each other. But in terms of time, the gold box was sent to the tribute court.

It was the day before the exam, and the test questions had been leaked. From this, it seemed that the possibility of the test questions going wrong in the Gongyuan was basically no longer there. As for the minister Zhang Tingyu who was placed in the study room, he was a cautious person and would never neglect his duties. Moreover, if something went wrong, he would not be able to escape from the relationship. If he was the custody and stealing himself, this would not make sense. As for the guards who were guarding, there would be such a possibility, but it would never be a single guard who could do this. Either the whole guard did it together. This possibility exists, but it is not high. In this way, the most likely thing is Qin Wuyong and the two eunuchs."

It's good, but Qin Wuyong has always followed the rules. Although he has collected a lot of cash, he has to exchange the test questions for the money. I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to do it yet. But the two eunuchs are very suspicious. Fortunately, they were launched in time and both eunuchs have been arrested. If they can find a breakthrough from these two, this case will be easy to solve. What I'm afraid of is that these two guys are uninformed, or that these two guys accidentally leaked the test questions and were used by those who are interested. It's probably difficult to solve the case. Yinzuo pondered for a moment and said, "It's still early now. I'll go to the Tianzhuo to interrogate Qin Wuyong and the two eunuchs in a while, hoping to get something. But I always think that this matter is not that simple. Which prince is behind this? What's the purpose? Is it just for money? I can't understand it."

Yinzuo couldn't figure it out, which didn't mean Wu Sidao could not figure it out either. Wu Sidao, who had been silent, said with bright eyes: "No matter which prince did it, its purpose was not for money. Even if Zhang Hongzhe could sell the test questions, how much could he sell in a few days? Ten thousand taels? Twenty thousand taels? This small amount is not worth mentioning to the princes. From the ruthless behavior of the mastermind behind the scenes, it can be inferred that his intention was not for money, but for disrupting the court. The prince thought about who would benefit from the chaos in the court?"

Who is good for? Of course it is not us. The eighth brother, the fourth brother, and even the third brother may get benefits from it. Only we will become a possible victim of chaos in the court. Yinzuo pondered for a moment and said, "If the chaos in the court is in chaos, the eighth brother will benefit the most. Next, the fourth brother, and the third brother can get very little benefits. Maybe he will be dragged down by officials of the Ministry of Rites."

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "What the prince said is true, but one person was missed."

Someone missed? Who? Yinzuo was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes and said, "Mr. Wu is talking about..."
