Although Meng Yi didn't know the answer to this question, he felt that since His Majesty asked it in front of Zhang Han, the answer lies with Zhang Han.
But he couldn't imagine why this Cao San would be connected with Zhang Han?
"I am stupid."
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Ying Zheng did not speak, but turned his gaze to Zhang Han.
With just one look, Zhang Han understood what he meant. After saluting Ying Zheng, he opened his mouth to explain to Meng Yi.
"That day in front of Hanmo Villa, it was Cao San who said that Mr. Hu Hai lived there. It was also he who said that the people in Hanmo Villa were already candidates for the scientific examination."
"This matter caused a great sensation among the crowd at that time. Many people heard this sentence and must have had some thoughts in their hearts."
"But later, people did not find Mr. Hu Hai among them. The scientific expedition was held as usual, but people forgot about it."
Hearing this, Meng Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
After all, he has investigated these matters, but he still doesn't quite understand. Now that the matter has come to an end, Cao San is also dead. Is it too late for His Majesty to pursue this matter now?
However, he still couldn't say this in front of Ying Zheng.
He gave a slight salute to Ying Zheng, then turned his eyes to Zhang Han, and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, I know this."
"If it weren't for what he said, the commander would definitely not have arrested him in Xianyang Prison."
"But it's been so long, and the scientific examination has been completed. Bringing it up today makes me a little confused."
If someone else had said this, it might seem like an excuse, but if Meng Yi said it, that's what he must have thought.
Therefore, neither Ying Zheng on the high platform nor Zhang Han meant to laugh at him.
It was Zhang Han who took the initiative and said, "This is not a big deal at all."
"But after the scientific examination ended, some rumors spread in the city. I wonder if Meng Zhonglang knows about it?"
Meng Yi blinked his doubtful eyes, looked at Zhang Han and then Ying Zheng, and shook his head slightly.
During this period, I was busy dealing with Cao San's affairs, monitoring whether anyone was causing trouble in the city, and tracing the identity of the person behind Cao San. I had no time to care about other things.
Even the people in his house obey his orders and never think of taking the initiative to investigate something.
He said honestly: "I...have not heard of it, but I hope Master Zhang will not hesitate to enlighten me!"
Meng Yi said the last four words with gritted teeth.
It felt like he was lowering Zhang Han's head again.
Especially when he saw Zhang Han's expression, he couldn't get angry at all!
On the other hand, Zhang Han slowly saluted Ying Zheng, and it seemed that Meng Yi's mood could not affect him at all.
"I see, then Meng Zhonglang wouldn't know that the people who passed the scientific examination were not only those who participated in the study, but also many people who had lived in Hanmo Villa."
"Although this matter was inconspicuous at the beginning, now that the list of those who have passed the scientific examination has been posted, people have begun to discuss this matter, and those Hanmo Villas have become lively at this moment."
"There are still many people who even think that this matter is what Cao San said."
"Although not many people have discussed it in the past few days, it has already happened, and it will definitely leave a mark on people's hearts. I don't know when it will be known to people. By then, the situation will be difficult to control. .”
Finally, after Zhang Han's explanation, Meng Yi understood what he meant.
But what he was thinking of was another thing. The time when Cao San committed suicide seemed to be the same time as when this incident became known to people.
Then could he think that the person behind the scenes introduced Cao San into the situation just for today's scientific examination?
"Your Majesty, if things are really as Lord Zhang said, then there may be other things behind this matter."
"This incident of Cao San committing suicide is too strange."
"Then this Cao San must be related to the people involved in the scientific examination, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to screen out those successful people so easily."
"Why don't you just leave this matter to me for investigation, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
For someone who is so anxious to grab credit and wants to do something, he is afraid that Meng Yi is the only one in the court.
But what happened just now was that Cao San committed suicide, so how could Ying Zheng trust him with the matter?
Sure enough, Ying Zheng's disapproving eyes fell on Meng Yi, and he looked directly at Zhang Han beside him.
"This matter will be handed over to Zhang Han for investigation."
Zhang Han immediately raised his hands and said, "Here."
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."
"This scientific examination is headed by Wang Wan, the censor, and Lian Liangcai is the assistant. The same should be true for the selection of candidates for the scientific examination. But now that such a big thing has happened, could it be that some of them colluded with outsiders?"
Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Zhang Han in front of him.
He may have thought about this, but the investigation of Wang Wan and Lian Liangcai cannot be left to them.
Especially Meng Yi, although he has no problems in doing things, he is still not as stable as Meng Tian and is prone to being exposed.
"I can make my own decision on this matter."
…
Cao San's matter was not hidden from Ran Fang's eyes.
Ran Fang already knew about it before Shu Gao passed the news over, but it didn't cause much disturbance in his heart.
He had some doubts. Did Cao San really commit suicide or was he assassinated?
After all, when Cao San was so rampant in front of Hanmo Villa, it was obvious that he had no intention of escaping unscathed.
Now that the scientific examination is going as planned by the person behind it, Cao San thinks that it is useless to stay here, and even says some things that should not be said, so he must die!
"Okay, Meng Yi will definitely not let this matter go. We just have to wait and see the result."
Hearing what he said, it was obvious that Cao Yangyun was also a little surprised. After all, the secrets hidden in Cao San and why he did what he did have not yet been resolved.
Now Ran Fang let Meng Yi go like this, which really surprised him.
"Sir, is this the end of the matter?"
When Ran Fang was thinking about it, he heard his subordinates say that Shu Gao, who was beside Meng Yi, was outside the door asking for an audience.
"Let him in."
At this time, Shu Gao didn't know that Ran Fang knew about Cao San, so he tried his best to look as if nothing had happened.
"See the Commander."
Ran Fang nodded, "Get up and answer."
Shu Gao felt guilty, lowered his head and handed over the letter from his sleeve, holding the envelope in both hands and said: "This is a secret letter from my lord to the commander."
"I was specially asked to hand it over to the commander in person for your Majesty to take a look at."
With Ran Fang's look, Cao Yangyun had no choice but to step forward, take the letter, and put it in front of Ran Fang, even though he despised Shu Gao.
"Sir, please take a look."
Ran Fang glanced at the letter and knew the whole story after casually looking at the letter.
After putting away the letter, he looked at Shugao and said calmly: "Just how you took people away in the first place, you can bring them back!"
