Chapter 249 The Imperial College is Besieged
"According to his talent, why did he hide his shortcomings in the previous few exams, and only showed his talents in the palace exams, and won the top scorer in one fell swoop?"
Ye Anjun thought, "Can it be Brother Xu's low-key?"
Ye Anjun's words were not completely unreasonable. There were many such people in the imperial examination. They were afraid that they would show themselves too early and attract attention and cause bad things for themselves, so they hid their weaknesses until the palace examination. There was no such top scholar in history.
Ye Ningyu was silent, not saying anything.
If Ye Ningyu had never seen Xu Mingzhou beaten to death, maybe she would think so. But after saving him a few times, Ye Ningyu felt that the reason should not be that simple.
Unless he had any other concerns in his heart, he had to do so.
"I'll check this matter again."
"If Sister A Jun needs anything to do, just give me instructions."
Ye Ningyu asked with a smile, "I remember you and A Zheng said before that Xu Mingzhou doesn't like dealing with people?"
"Yes, Brother Xu and I also met on the day we rode horses and paraded. That night, we attended the Rongen Banquet at the Ministry of Rites. Brother Xu only talked to me and the fourth brother, and did not take the initiative to talk to the officials. Later, when the emperor came, Brother Xu did not take the initiative to talk to him except to welcome the emperor. My fourth brother and I were also complaining inwardly that he was the top scholar appointed by the emperor, so Brother Xu did not take the initiative to thank him."
Listening to Ye Anjun's words, Ye Ningyu thought to himself. "As a result, he is because of his temperament and doesn't like to deal with others?"
Ye Anjun nodded, "I think so."
"How did he talk to you and A Zheng there?"
Ye Anjun recalled, "He and the fourth brother are in the same place, so it's not surprising that I can speak. Although I was not in the same place with them, I was not far away. That night I went to toast with my fourth brother and Sun Qizhan. Brother Xu sat between them and I naturally spoke. Later, he drank too much and no one came to see him on the court. Fourth brother and I thought of sending him back. I guess we were grateful for our escort that night. Later, Brother Xu was quite sincere to us. I don't know if his injury has healed. The Ministry of Justice has been a little busy these days, so I haven't visited him yet."
"I heard that he has already gone to the post." Ye Ning said.
After saying that, he did not continue the topic and instead asked Ye Anjun, "I haven't asked you yet, how do you feel in the Ministry of Justice these days?"
When talking about his own affairs, Ye Anjun relaxed his expression and looked a little more energetic. "On the first day of his tenure, Lord Shangshu met me in person and specifically ordered the head of the Ministry of Justice to take care of me. During this period, some affairs were also assigned, which were all for training people."
Ye Ningyu smiled with his eyebrows and eyes. Yang Hongtai was also repaid with kindness. At the beginning of the year, Ye Ningyu asked Ye Yonghe to mention him to save him from the crime of implication. He must have remembered the goodness of the Ye family, so that he would take good care of Ye Anjun.
Yang Hongtai knew very well that for a promising young man like Ye Anjun, he would not give any work and help him escape leisure. This was not called care. Letting him grow up as soon as possible, guiding him on a path to progress, or a real care.
Yang Hongtai is a person with clear eyes and bright hearts. Ye Ningyu has unconsciously gained a new understanding of this person.
"Mr. Yang has some of his own little thoughts, but he is not vague in major matters. Although you don't come into contact with him much in the Ministry of Justice, it is always beneficial to have the opportunity to study hard with him."
"Brother, I've written it down." Ye Anjun nodded and said yes.
The next day, Ye Ningyu went to the Imperial College to give lectures as usual. After a few times, students from several classes had almost finished the books on the first floor of the library, and had also seen many books that they had never been exposed to in the past, and everyone was quite happy.
Only the last class was left. They originally planned to end their courses in the Library today and return to Guangye Hall to give normal lectures. Ye Ningyu came earlier than before.
But just when she just walked to the gate of the National Supervisory Commission, she obviously felt something was wrong.
I saw that the gate of the Imperial College was closed today, and the gatekeepers on duty all had serious faces.
Seeing Ye Ningyu come in, the concierge comes over and talks with her. "Master Ning is here."
Ye Ningyu held the bookcase, glanced around and asked, "What's wrong? Why is the door closed?"
The concierge stepped closer and lowered his voice, "There is something wrong inside, I'm afraid I can't explain this lesson today."
After saying that, the concierge got closer and said with concern, "Master Ning, go back first, so as not to get into trouble."
Ye Ningyu became more and more confused, "What happened inside?"
The concierge shook his head helplessly, "We don't know, but this morning, people from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple came to the Imperial College, saying that they would investigate the matter and keep the door closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. When Mr. Bai came today, he had instructed the young man that if Mr. Ning came, he would go back first and ignore the matter inside."
"Master Bai is also inside?" Ye Ningyu asked.
The concierge nodded quickly, "The Masters are all inside, and Master Jijiu is there too."
Ye Ningyu was even more confused at this time. What happened was that alarmed the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, and sealed the Imperial College with a tight seal.
Could it be that some murder occurred?
The Imperial College is full of young students, not to mention that Ye Anshu is still inside. Ye Ningyu didn't know the news. Since he knew, he had never let him go. No matter how he said that, he had to figure out what happened.
Ye Ningyu was thinking, preparing to sneak in through the side door to inquire.
Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside.
The people who came out were several people wearing official uniforms. Judging from their clothes, they should be from Dali Temple.
Seeing someone standing at the door, the leader frowned and said in a serious tone. "There are cases inside, and the idle people are avoiding it."
Ye Ningyu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then prepared to leave.
"Slow down!" The man's eyes fell on the bookcase in Ye Ningyu's hand again. He walked to Ye Ningyu and stared at her. "Who are you?"
Ye Ningyu knew that the other party might have doubted his identity, so he said truthfully. "I am the lecturer of the Imperial College."
"Master?" The man frowned and turned to ask his companions beside him. "Didn't they say that the masters of the Imperial College are all inside? Why are there any missing ones?"
Seeing this, Ye Ningyu said in a hurry, "I am just a lecturer hired by Master Jijiu, and come to lecture once every three days."
The man looked at Ye Ningyu with deep eyes. "Did you come to the Imperial College yesterday?"
"Never, yesterday was not my lecture time." Ye Ningyu shook his head.
After hearing this, the leader nodded, "Since that's the case, then you go."
Ye Ningyu turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the man's companion come over and whisper a few words. Ye Ningyu didn't listen very seriously, but he also heard some words, such as "there is a big deal", "that is better to make a mistake", "instructions", "Your Majesty" and so on.
Your Majesty? Ye Ningyu was shocked. The emperor also knew what happened in the Imperial College? In this way, we must find out the whole story.
She gave up her idea of leaving and was about to say something on her own initiative, but she heard the man call herself again. "Slowly, you'd better go in."
Ye Ningyu raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, just to her wish.
When she turned around, she had already curled her smile, her face calm and full of doubt. "What happened inside, this guy?"
