Chapter 53 Blackmail

Han Jian first asked Lin Xiaosu to go home and wait for news, but he followed Yang Xi to the Ministry of Justice with Sima Zhi and filed a case. In the Ministry of Justice, Li Wei, the Minister of Justice, was responsible for receiving Yang Xi and his party.

In the Ministry of Justice, Li Wei handed over the case file that had just been sorted to Yang Xi, and explained in a flash: "Six Prince, there are still untrue things in the case. Please forgive me."

Yang Xi didn't know much about these things at first, so he took the case and wanted to go back and see it again, but Li Wei reminded him not to take it out of the Ministry of Justice.

"If you can't take it away, just watch it here." Han Jian said.

Han Jian felt that Li Wei had something to hide, but he was not sure about it. He found that Li Wei seemed very panicked when he saw them, as if he was guilty.

When Li Wei left, Han Jian said suspiciously, and Yang Xi said, "Mr. Li is very close to the third brother..."

Han Jian understood what Yang Xi said. This time, the queen sent two princes to investigate the case of fraud in the imperial examination. In name, it was exercise, but in fact it also had a relatively meaning. Li Wei was close to the third prince Yang Yu, just to help Yang Yu and leave Yang Xi behind.

Yang Xi opened the case sect, and Han Jian also stepped forward to take a look. Less than three hours after the case was reported, many cases still had time to sort them out. The case sect showed that the area involved in this crime fraud case was not large, involving about twenty or thirty people in Zhen'an, Hexi and Huaiyin schools. Because Ruan Ping's adoptive father was the representative of the Huaiyin school, Ruan Ping was involved. Some even accused Ruan Ping of being the mastermind of the case.

The way students cheat is to carry cheats into the venue. After the incident, many candidates involved in the case swallowed the cheats directly into their stomachs, so many people cannot be dirty on the spot. People like Ruan Ning are criticized. Han Jian thinks that it may be those who were taken to bite people randomly to reduce their guilt. As long as Ruan Ping is not taken away from the iron evidence of cheating, it is not difficult to get rid of the crime.

After reading the case, Han Jian was puzzled and frowned and said, "A large-scale fraud in the imperial examination was just a few candidates who were involved in the venue?"

Yang Xi looked at Han Jian and said, "Brother Han thinks there is something wrong?"

Han Jian said: "I don't know the content of the exam. How effective can I just entrain? Could it be that these candidates will write all the Four Books and Five Classics and bring them into the venue, and can swallow all the cheats after the incident?"

The Wei Dynasty had four exams in total. The first exam was the Four Books, the second exam was the current affairs, the third exam was the classics and history exam, and the fourth exam was the poetry and essays. The contents of these four exams were closely related to the exam questions. Although they were inseparable from the fact that they were in the same order, they were not something that could be handled by scribing.

Yang Xi pondered Han Jian's words for a moment and said in surprise: "Brother Han said... maybe the test questions were leaked?"

Han Jian shook his head uncertainly.

"Now it's just a preliminary guess. There must be a pushback behind the scenes when a fraud in the crime scene involves so many people." Han Jian suddenly pointed to the case clan, "Why doesn't this main culprit Su, why doesn't he even have a name?"

Yang Xi also looked at the case sect and said, "It's a bit strange. Brother Han, let's not talk about this for now. Where should you investigate this case?"

"Of course, it is to adjust the test papers, and to examine the two test papers involved in cheating. Those who were not involved in the case should also check them, as there should be clues."

Yang Xi nodded and smiled with relief: "Brother Han said very well. However... to check the test paper, you must go to the Ministry of Rites and ask your sister for instructions."

"Um."

After this trip to the Ministry of Justice, Han Jian felt that although Yang Xi was a little talented, she was still too sissy and lacked courage in doing things. Perhaps because he was not aware of the world, she was like an A Dou who could not help her, and she had to mention her "sister" in everything.

"Then Mr. Yang will ask for instructions first, and we will meet in Qingxu Yashe later."

Yang Xi put down the file and said, "It's good."

After saying that, the three of them left the Ministry of Justice, Yang Xi hurried back to the palace, while Han Jian wanted to go to the auditorium to see if there was anything wrong. Although he skipped work today, he said hello to Gu Weipan, but it was not considered a formal leave after all.

As soon as Han Jian left, an official sedan chair stopped outside the Ministry of Justice. Jiang Yingcai, deputy examiner of the imperial examination, got off the sedan chair, and Li Wei, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Justice, quickly came out.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Li Wei looked around, "If someone knows that you come here, there may be trouble."

Jiang Yingcai angrily scolded: "What's the trouble? There's no need to make a fuss about a few candidates cheating."

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang may not know that this time His Majesty sent the third prince and the sixth prince to supervise the case."

"What are you afraid of two canaries who are just starting out?" Jiang Yingcai was a little disdainful in his words.

Li Wei sighed: "If there are really two canaries, there is no need to worry about it. But this time, the Sixth Prince invited Xiaodong King to investigate the case together, and this case involved a friend of Xiaodong King. Xiaodong King just now told the Sixth Prince that he would ask His Majesty to investigate the first two exam papers..."

Jiang Yingcai was stunned and said, "Is there really such a thing? Then... I have to be careful..."

Li Wei said: "Brother Jiang quickly find a way to deal with it. I don't know who reported that someone in the examination room was cheating. This investigation found so many people. If we continue to investigate, these exams will be investigated. Now, many people in the court will be implicated..."

Jiang Yingcai shouted, "What a panic? I'll go back and burn the test room of the exam room. Let's see who can find out what clues! Don't worry, it's not our turn to take over the big things. Just do this!"

Originally, Jiang Yingcai had to go to the Ministry of Justice to ask about the situation, but as a result, he quickly got into the sedan chair and left in a hurry.

...

...

Han Jian returned to the Shangdian Office, and the matter was still calm. It seemed that the case of fraud in the imperial examination did not affect this place.

Han Jian first entered the hall where the Kusi was located, and there was still no one inside after entering. Han Jian couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was very concerned about this business, and he ran around for Ruan Ping and did not forget to come back to see it. When he came back, he realized how idle his job was. In other words, he might be busy with work, but because he was sitting in this seat, he was very idle.

Han Jian was about to leave and return to Qingxu Yashe to wait for Yang Xi's news, but he saw Gu Weipan walking in with a stern face, as if he was deliberately looking for him.

"Chief Gu, is there something wrong?" Han Jian asked.

Gu Weipan's tone was not kind, but seemed to have some compromise and said, "I have something to ask you."

Han Jian felt that Gu Weipan's tone seemed unusual. Although his face was dark this time, his tone was not as aggressive as before.

"If Chief Gu's matter is not very important, then turn around and talk." Han Jian said, "I leave in advance if I have an urgent need..."

Gu Weipan didn't like Han Jian, and Han Jian didn't like Gu Weipan either. This old man was not on the same front as him. As the Eastern King, he could pay attention to it or ignore it completely.

"You... just talk to your boss like this?" Gu Weipan said angrily.

Han Jian didn't expect Gu Weipan to use his boss' identity to suppress him, and sighed: "Speak quickly if you have something to do."

Gu Weipan really wanted to get angry, but he didn't seem to dare to do it. His tone was a little calmer and said, "Have you seen the plan for building a tower in the Ministry of Industry?"

Han Jian originally thought that Gu Weipan was why, but it turned out to be for this.

"Look," Han Jian said, "I know what you are asking below. If you want to ask if I changed the picture, then I will just say it, it was not changed. Is Chief Gu satisfied with this answer?"

Gu Weipan was stunned and said, "It's not you?"

"Chief Gu doesn't seem to believe it very much, but Chief Gu has thought about it. I, a young boy, know how can I understand the construction of a tower? I think Chief Gu asked for it in vain. I'd better ask Gao Ming to go." After Han Jian said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Gu Weipan said: "Since you have seen it, do you know who changed it?"

Han Jian didn't want to talk nonsense to Gu Weipan, and he didn't want to interfere with building the tower. Now the most important thing for him is to save Ruan Ping first. But when Gu Weipan asked so carefully, Han Jian felt that Gu Weipan should be chased by the queen and wanted to build the tower with new plans. As a result, who drew the new plans, he didn't know who did it. Gu Weipan, the person in charge, obviously couldn't explain to the queen.

When Han Jian thought of his agreement with Gu Xiner, he suddenly felt that there was a good opportunity in front of him, and he would threaten Gu Weipan.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Chief Gu, I'm going to tell you, I may really know who the person who changed the plan is, but... I'm not sure."

Gu Weipan was relieved when he heard Han Jian say "maybe know", but he heard "uncertainty". After thinking about it, it was obvious that this kid didn't want to tell him.

"What does this mean?" Gu Weipan asked with a stern face.

Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Chief Gu, there is something... If Chief Gu agrees to me, then I will help Chief Gu think about who changed the plan..."

Gu Weipan Wei said angrily: "What if I don't agree?"

Han Jian curled his lips and said, "Then I can't help."

After Han Jian finished speaking, he quickly walked to the door and heard Gu Weipan stop and shout.

"...what's the matter?" Gu Weipan seemed to want to compromise.

Han Jian said bluntly: "If Chief Gu is willing to go home and have a meal with your wife and daughter, then..."

Gu Weipan originally thought Han Jian would make some harsh demands, but when he heard that this was not too harsh demands, he still refused angrily: "You don't need to care about my family affairs!"

Han Jian spread his hands and raised his hands helplessly and said, "Then I wish you good luck to Chief Gu."

After saying that, Han Jian had already left the door, leaving only Gu Weipan left in the same place and sulking.
