Supervision and Examination Office
Su Ziji sat upright, drinking tea with a calm look on his face, but his heart was very troubled.
"Tan Youshan just paid it back. Ding Ruili is the son of Tongzhi and a scholar. I originally thought that he would have to go through a lot of trouble, but he was beaten to death if he didn't want to. I really understand this majesty."
The development of this matter left him speechless. Only today did he truly realize the eunuch's viciousness.
"This may be the 30th year since the founding of Zheng Chaogang. The imperial authority was so powerful that only the eunuchs and imperial envoys had such authority. In a few decades, I'm afraid it won't be this simple."
"But it's hard to say. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a man named Wei Zhongxian who was said to be nine thousand years old."
The hall is very ordinary, except that people in Tsing Yi can be seen in the distance, and they are as silent as puppets. They seem to have no emotions. Just standing there, I feel a kind of pressure.
"It's a bit powerful." Su Ziji was a little surprised after a brief analysis: "Everyone has martial arts, and some can feel a trace of spiritual energy, although it is not strong. Is there such a thing as the Sunflower Book?"
"As expected of the person beside the emperor, he is indeed extraordinary."
Su Ziji secretly thought about it. At this moment, Fang Zhen came over and said as soon as he arrived: "Master Su, there are still some troubles to be resolved in this incident. My father-in-law asked you to rest for a few days and then go back when the results are released." .”
Su Ziji couldn't help being startled, but he smiled and said, "Okay, but it's just a thorn, you have to inform her so as not to worry her."
"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely notify you, so I won't worry my wife." Fang Zhen smiled, and gave up his hand very politely: "There are several good rooms here, I will take you there right now."
When passing by the corridor, Su Ziji asked: "Ding Ruili is the son of a Tongzhi from Shuanghua Mansion. It must be a bit troublesome to deal with it, right?"
"It's not much trouble. The imperial envoy has left the border. Although he has no power to remove his colleagues, he can order him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and suspend him pending trial. Once he is suspended pending trial, he will not be able to leave the house and will not cause any trouble." Fang Zhen didn't think so. How much trouble, smiled.
Who said everyone in the ancient imperial court was stupid?
This procedure was very strict, and Su Ziji couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to follow. Although the Gongyuan Provincial Examination was basically over, the results had not been released yet, and they were still on alert. Soldiers could be seen standing with their swords drawn along the way.
"There are few places in the provincial capital that are safer than this place." Fang Zhen held up his hands with emotion: "Here we are, please..."
In front of him is a small courtyard, with lights on. Although the wing is not big, it is elegantly decorated. The windows are covered with precious green gauze, two candles are lit, there are bookshelves against the wall, full of books, and inkstones are placed on the wooden tables. Paper and pen, fruits on the desk on the west wall.
I also saw someone busy in the kitchen. There was already a bowl of yellow soup on a small table in the small hall, and I could smell some ginseng aroma. There were three or four dishes in the middle of the table, most of which were vegetarian, with only small meat dishes. The aroma is overwhelming.
Fang Zhen laughed and said: "Three days of provincial examination, I must have eaten all the pies. There are ginseng soup, a few side dishes, and rice porridge. You can use it as you like. If you need anything, just ask the servants. I won't accompany you." ”
Fang Zhen said and left. Although Su Ziji was left hanging here, he was not surprised. He smiled and sat down at the small table. He took a sip of ginseng soup and felt refreshed.
"I know I haven't eaten meat for three days, and I'm afraid it will damage my gastrointestinal tract, so this time I only have small meat dishes, most of which are vegetarian, which looks refreshing."
"Although it looks like he's under house arrest, he's really polite!"
Su Ziji couldn't help but smile. He lowered his eyebrows and saw half of the red sandalwood shadow.
"The provincial examination has been successful and turned into seeds. Can it be absorbed by Panlong's mind method (this move is irreversible)?"
"yes!"
"Panlong Mind Technique Level 3, 2657/3000"
This breath increased by 2000 points, and Su Ziji felt a coolness arise out of thin air, and spiritual power gushes out like spring water, causing his body to gradually vibrate.
"In fact, Level 3 has already met the requirements. What should be cleared now is Level 4. There are only more than 300 experience points left before Level 4. Since I am resting here, I will clear this level."
"I just don't regret it, I'm afraid I might be worried."
After saying that, Fang Zhen retreated, turned around a winding corridor, and saw Inspector Zhao. Inspector Zhao was giving instructions. Although he was a eunuch, he was very clear about everything and handled things neatly in a blink of an eye.
Fang Zhen couldn't help but secretly admire him. When he saw Supervisor Zhao waving his hands to disperse, he went up and saluted and said, "Everything has been arranged."
Supervisor Zhao seemed very easy-going at this time and waved off without waiting for a courtesy: "As long as the placement is done, Master Yin and I have stamped the seal. Jie Yuan's status has been settled, and we can check it now."
"But it is related to the blood of the prince, and we are causing trouble again, so we must be cautious at all times. There are many people who want to impeach us."
"So we have to wait three days to give the blood a chance to buffer and absorb."
"At the same time, it is also to isolate Su Zi. In this Gongyuan, all the imperial guards are in place, and there is a token given by the emperor, so no one can cheat."
"It's not up to us to inspect it ourselves. We have to ask officials from the imperial court to inspect it."
"In this case, the errand will be done without leakage, instead of the last time you inspected a private house with no procedures and no witnesses, which aroused doubts."
Fang Zhen was sincerely convinced. Even though he had not leaked anything last time, it was related to the prince's bloodline and had to be re-examined, but this was the attitude of an official.
Many people talk nonsense about how to blame others. In fact, this is a phenomenon caused by the huge disparity in power.
In the officialdom, procedures are very important. If the enemy's procedures are correct, if you want to "incriminate", you have to put in extra effort and risk backlash.
If the enemy's program is wrong, he can kill him just by picking any fault.
Supervisor Zhao could beat Tan Youshan and even Tongzhi's son Ding Ruili to death on the spot because Ding Ruili was not a juren. If he was, he would not be so simple and crude.
In the prince's bloodline, he is even more cautious in every step, making no mistakes and making no mistakes.
"Eunuch Zhao, Su Ziji is a smart man, very cooperative, and very peaceful. I think everything will go well." Fang Zhen said.
"It's good to be at peace. Only peace can make people feel at ease." Inspector Zhao put his hands behind his back and chuckled, then asked: "Commissioner, where are you now?"
"Arrived at Taiping County."
"We'll be there early the day after tomorrow. That's great. We'll post the list at that time. Maybe we'll get a double blessing."
Supervisor Zhao said: "As for Yang Buhui, she is just the daughter of the owner of the bookstore. But since she is married to Mr. Su, you should send someone to protect her and inform her of the situation."
As he said that, he waved his hand: "Okay, let's go down and wait until the commissioner arrives, then notify our family."
"Yes!" Fang Zhen was speechless and retreated.
The whole courtyard suddenly fell into silence. The people in Tsing Yi were motionless, as if they were puppets with no emotions of their own. Although Supervisor Zhao used them, he had no intention of speaking to this group of people.
Just looking in the direction of the capital, Inspector Zhao said softly: "Your Majesty, I hope that this slave can really find the prince's bloodline and share your worries."
