Everyone looked towards the man and saw that he was a young general wearing the commander's armor.
It turned out to be a warrior.
When he got closer, Deng Qing frowned and said, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous?"
Xue Yongzhi snorted coldly and said: "I am Xue Yongzhi, the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guards!"
Hearing this name, even people who have never met Xue Yongzhi have heard that the eldest son of the Ningguo Hou family recently entered the Longhu Guard.
Deng Qing's face turned dark and said: "It turns out to be the Prince of Ningguo. We are discussing important matters. Why are you, a warrior, coming here to interfere?"
After saying that, he threatened: "Although I am the patrol inspector of Henan Province and have no control over your Marquis Mansion and Longhu Guards, don't forget that I still have the right to hear rumors and make trouble. When the time comes, I will impeach the young Marquis for disturbing the examination room." Don’t blame me for not predicting what I said!”
Xue Yongzhi sneered and asked: "May I ask this Henan Provincial Inspector, why don't you let my brother Xu He take part in the provincial examination!"
Deng Qing clasped his hands behind his back and turned around without bothering to answer.
Xue Yongzhi was not angry when he saw this, but turned to look at the examiner Gu Shouyuan.
Gu Shouyuan sighed and said: "Master Deng said that Xu He is suspected of fraud and needs to be taken away for questioning first. It is not appropriate to refer to this year's provincial examination!"
When Xue Yongzhi heard this, he sneered, clapped his hands and said, "Come forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of guard soldiers walked out of the darkness. About twenty of them escorted the two people and walked towards the crowd.
"this……"
"what happened?"
"This little Marquis...why is he so crazy?"
When the people were brought in front of everyone, the guard sergeant kicked the two bound people unceremoniously to their knees.
Xue Yongzhi cupped his hands and said to Gu Shouyuan: "Master Gu, I was ordered to check the Zhuangyuan Building. I found these two people sneaking around in the alley outside the building. After some interrogation, they confessed that they were entrusted by others to monitor Xu He and Xu He. Another life member, Ouyang Jun. Once they go out, they must inform the people above!"
Xu He heard the process of leaking the test questions in the elegant room next door, and everyone present knew about it.
Anyone who understands will know in their heart that this is a trap for Xu He.
But no one expected that before they arrived, Gu Shouyuan had already deployed people to investigate the matter.
What's even more interesting is that Xue Yongzhi actually caught the suspicious person.
No need to ask, these two people are definitely the people behind the scenes who planted eyes on the No. 1 Scholar Building.
The purpose was to monitor Xu He to see if he went out.
Going out means that the matter has been exposed, and Xu He needs to take advantage of it before he asks for help, so that he can be convicted of knowing the test questions.
I just didn't expect that Xu He used some method to avoid the surveillance of the two.
Let the people behind the scenes not notice and lose the opportunity.
Gu Shouyuan was overjoyed when he saw this. He walked closer to look at the two people and asked Xue Yongzhi, "Did you ask anything?"
Xue Yongzhi said: "They are gangsters from the dock in the south of the city, gang members who specialize in making a living on the Yangtze River."
Then, Xue Yongzhi clapped his hands again, and another person was dragged out from the darkness. He saw that the person was beaten until he was dying.
Xue Yongzhi said: "This is their leader. According to his account, someone asked him to arrange for two of his men to go to Zhuangyuan Building three days ago. They were only allowed to order food and talk. No other questions were allowed."
Everyone present was shocked. Three days ago?
It seems that the people behind this have been planning for a long time.
Everyone looked at Xu He, not sure whether they sympathized with the boy or called him "bad luck".
Xu He came closer and said, "Little Marquis, has this man's mouth been pried open?"
Xue Yongzhi said: "This man said that a guy dressed as a scholar found him three days ago and gave him fifty taels to do this."
"Scholar?" Xu He asked, "Who?"
After asking, Xu He regretted it. This person must not know the gang leader, otherwise if the matter is leaked, he can be traced by following the clues.
But who would have thought that Xue Yongzhi bared his teeth and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, this gangster leader has actually met that scholar. His name is Hou Yu, and he has experience in the lower school bookstore of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. The school bookstore?
It's difficult for the government offices in southern Beijing to have exactly the same configuration, so there is also a school bookstore under the Ministry of Rites, which is just a small yamen that specializes in printing documents and textbooks for prefectures and counties.
This official is not a big one, but what surprises the big bosses is that the school bookstore participates in printing papers for every provincial examination.
In other words, it is indeed possible for this experience called Hou Yu to see the test questions.
The face of the Minister of Rites of Nanjing suddenly darkened.
This trivial matter was originally just for fun, but now it's a piece of shit stuck in my face.
He turned around and asked the sergeant guarding the gate of Gongyuan: "Has Hou Yu entered the hospital?"
The sergeant flipped through the book and said, "It's inside."
What nonsense is this? Gu Shouyuan directly ordered people to go to the hospital to arrest them.
On the day when the Gongyuan was locked, some soldiers broke into the Gongyuan, which undoubtedly caused an uproar among the people stationed inside.
It was not until Wang Liangchen, the general internal and external promotion officer, arrived that the soldiers were able to leave.
After a while, a thin old man was pulled out and beaten to the ground.
Gu Shouyuan said coldly: "Are you Hou Yu?"
The man on the ground probably knew what had happened. He was curled up like a dead dog in front of everyone. He didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, he just curled up and said nothing.
Wang Liangchen said angrily: "When I went there, I found this guy hanging himself!"
Everyone was shocked and found a red mark on Hou Yu's neck.
Gu Shouyuan didn't want to waste time, so he turned around and ordered: "Send someone to inform the Jin Yiwei!"
Everyone was silent. Although everyone hated Jin Yiwei, at this time, it was Jin Yiwei who was better at prying open Hou Yu's mouth.
After dealing with this, Gu Shouyuan turned to look at Xu He and said: "As the examiner of this provincial examination, Xu He, you can go back and prepare for the examination. There will be no delay in three days! Did you hear that?"
Xu He watched the clouds clear and saw the moonlight, and he raised his hands and said loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Examiner!"
Deng Qing's lips moved at this time, wanting to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
In the end, I could only turn around and pretend I didn't hear him, and let Xu He go.
The next step was for the big guys to discuss how to make the provincial examination go on as usual. He had nothing to do with him here anymore, so they hurriedly chased him out.
Unexpectedly, not far away, he saw Xu He standing on the roadside waiting for him.
"Bright sound..."
Xu He bowed deeply and said: "Little Marquis, if it weren't for you this time, Xu He's future would be ruined!"
Xue Yongzhi wanted to come here to take credit, but seeing Xu He so solemnly waiting to thank him made him a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? Although you and I are not sworn brothers like Mao Bao, I really treat you as a brother. Between brothers, this little thing is nothing. Besides, it's because you have a good life and have gods and Buddhas. Bless you, otherwise, how could I catch those two people and follow the clues, hahaha!"
He was in a good mood at this time. To be honest, although there was an element of luck in this matter, he was really smart and knew that this kind of thing couldn't be delayed for a long time, so he just pulled the strings and took everyone.
This really made him, the newly appointed commander of the guard station, stand out in front of a bunch of big guys.
Let’s see who dares to say that the nobles’ descendants are just idlers in the future.
