Chapter 57

The Shenzhengsi Yamen is located two miles south of Yongding Gate, outside Luoyang. Han Jian came to this place called the "Hald Hall" by outsiders for the first time. From the outside, the Shenzhengsi Yamen is like a large mansion with high walls and deep courtyards, and even green trees. In fact, it is a spy training camp and concentration camp inside, which is also the most mysterious place in the Great Wei Dynasty.

The person responsible for receiving Han Jian and his party was Yu Han, the leader of the Shenjian Department of the Yamen. Yu Han is also the nominal person in charge of the Shenjian Department of the Yamen. But in fact, he is more like the "spokesperson" of the Shenjian Department of the Yamen. The real person in charge of major and small affairs is Ling Jun, the deputy chief minister of the Shangting Office.

In the cell of Shenxingsi, Han Jian saw "Su" who was transferred here. As Han Jian expected, this person was not Su Tingxia, nor was Mr. Su described by Lin Xiaosu. In the cell of Shenxingsi, Han Jian did not ask a word, and came out with Yang Xi. At this time, Sima Yi and Lin Xiaosu were waiting at the door of Shenxingsi's yamen.

"How? Have you seen him?" Seeing Han Jian come out, Sima asked in a hurry.

Han Jian shook his head and said, "Let's talk about getting on the carriage."

At the gate of the Shenzhengsi Office, there were many eyes. Han Jian didn't want to say too much. When he arrived on the carriage, Yang Xi explained the situation inside the Shenzhengsi Office at Han Jian's instruction. Han Jian kept leaning against the wall of the carriage, as if he was thinking about something, tilting his head without saying a word.

"That's strange. This is not Su Tingxia or Mr. Su. Who is it?" Sima Yi looked at Han Jian in surprise after hearing this.

Han Jian said: "You should ask where Su Tingxia has gone, so that the people from the Ministry of Justice must find a fake one to impersonate the name, and even spend any effort to turn it around, so that we cannot investigate."

Yang Xi said on the side: "Could it be... the mastermind behind it hid it?"

"The mastermind?" Sima Yi became interested when he heard it, "Who?"

Yang Xi said with a look of dismay: "I don't know this either."

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "If there is really a shady man behind the scenes, they hid Su Tingxia, so why should I go to Su Tingxia's residence to search? I think it was Su Tingxia who hid himself, for fear of being found."

Yang Xi said: "I am increasingly unable to understand what Brother Han said. Since he has entered the examination room, even if he does not cheat himself, cheating is caused by others. The defense around the examination room is tight and he cannot fly. How can he hide?"

Han Jian said: "I had been out of my mind before, but now I have a rough direction. I put forward a hypothesis, if... the person who reported the fraud was Su Tingxia?"

Not only Yang Xi and Sima Yi, but also Lin Xiaosu, who had been silent on the other hand, was shocked by Han Jian's assumption.

"Su Tingxia reported cheating? How is this... possible?" Sima Yi said incredible.

Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "Since Su Tingxia is alive, why should he take this exam? What is his purpose in taking the exam?"

Yang Xi said on the side: "Brother Han is saying that the purpose of Su Tingxia taking the exam is to report cheating? Is this... not...the explanation?"

Han Jian said: "Why did the Nankuang in the Examination House catch fire after the fraud case? Is it really an accident?"

A brief silence fell into the carriage. After a moment, Sima Yi said, "I understand. I mean, Su Tingxia knew that someone cheated in the examination room. In order to expose the case, he did not hesitate to report his cheating to attract the attention of the court?"

Han Jian sighed: "I couldn't understand why honest people like Ruan Ping were also involved in this case. Now I think about it, it may be because someone knows his relationship with me, so he deliberately pulled him into the water, which made the matter a big deal."

Sima Yi immediately said indignantly: "Young Master, are you saying that Su Tingxia deliberately reported Ruan Ping? Damn..."

"Maybe it's not Su Tingxia himself. With his own strength, he can't get through the registration of the Examination Institute alone. Someone behind the scenes will inevitably help him. This involves the issue of party struggles in the court. Now it's just a hypothesis, and the next is when we verify it."

Yang Xi said with a sad face: "Even if someone cheats in the exam room, the test paper will be burned. How to verify it?"

Han Jian looked out the carriage window, looking far away, and said, "The reason why Su Tingxia came out to take this exam at the risk of dying again was not just the fraud of this exam. If I expected it, the previous exams also involved fraud cases. We asked for a certificate, and we only need to go to the Tai Academy to find the papers for previous exams."

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment and said happily: "Brother Han thought too much, why didn't I expect it? Indeed... Su Tingxia was resurrected from the dead, that's because he knew a lot of inside information, so... it doesn't matter if the test papers were burned this time..."

Sima Yi muttered: "Taixue Palace? It seems that we can't get in the palace..."

Han Jian smiled and said, "As Young Master Yang, I took us to a place like the Taixue Palace outside the palace, and there should be no need to ask for instructions? If the person behind the scenes knows our next actions, there may be two eunuchs who are not eyebrow cooking in the Taixue Palace..."

Yang Xi smiled shyly and said, "No, my sister said that as long as you investigate the case, you can do it cheaply at the appropriate time."

...

...

The carriage finally stopped at Yingwu Gate, the side gate of the east gate of the palace, and the aisle behind Yingwu Gate is also the closest road to the Taixue Palace.

Several people got out of the carriage, and Han Jian first explained to the guards of the East Prince's Mansion, and then prepared to enter the palace.

"I...I'll go back first." Lin Xiaosu felt timid when he saw the tightly guarded palace guards at the palace gate and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Let's go in together, multiple people and multiple helpers." Han Jian said, "I'll check a lot of files later... I forgot that you can't read. I'll ask the guard to send you back."

Lin Xiaosu was mentioned by Han Jian as a scandal of "unliterate" at this time, and she felt very embarrassed and annoyed, but she had no choice. She was illiterate because she was illiterate.

Lin Xiaosu was still timid, but at this time she mustered up the courage to say, "I won't go back, I can help...I...I want to do something."

Han Jian looked at Lin Xiaosu with a firm attitude and probably understood her thoughts in his heart. She wanted to contribute to the investigation of the fraud case in exchange for his help to Lin Xiaoyun.

"Yeah. Let's go." After Han Jian said that, Yang Xi had already gone over to say hello to the palace guards.

Yang Xi came over and instructed: "After entering, there will be guards walking with us, so try not to walk around."

"This is understandable." Han Jian said, "The key point is to hurry up and snatch the evidence before the person behind the scenes destroys the evidence..."

As a guide, Yang Xi brought Han Jian and others into the palace together. It was not the first time Han Jian entered the palace, but Sima Jie and Lin Xiaosu were the first time. When Sima Jie saw the high walls and green trees next to the palace corridor, Sima Jie was very disdainful and felt that they were not as grand as their family.

Han Jian said: "This is just a corner of the palace. When will you go to the main hall to take a look? That's how grand it is."

The Taixue Palace is just one of the side halls of the imperial palace, not within the main wall of the palace. It is a huge fortress-like building with a plaque saying "Taixue Palace" hanging at the door. This is where Gongsheng Academy and Taixue University park information, and there are also many books stored, just like a half-large library.

When he arrived outside the Taixue Palace, Yang Xi was about to go in, but a few eunuchs stopped him and refused to open the door.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, we cannot make decisions..."

"I can't make the decision again." Han Jian felt annoyed, "Who can make the decision?"

"You have to ask the supervisor for instructions..."

The Taixue Palace is a cold place in the palace. Even Yang Xi, who grew up in the palace, didn’t know who was the eunuch in charge of the Taixue Palace. Yang Xi sighed and said, “Forget it, let’s ask the guards to invite Eunuch Lu over. He should speak well.”

I don’t know who is the eunuch in charge of the Tai Academy, so I invited the largest eunuch in the palace.

Han Jian was originally afraid that Lu Shaokun had power in the government and the opposition, which would affect the investigation of the case, but when he thought about it, there was no other way, unless he could crush the bodies of a few young eunuchs who were dying.

Not long after, Lu Shaokun hurried over. He was walking calmly, but when he saw Han Jian and Yang Xi, he immediately looked like an old housekeeper and walked up and said bitterly: "Sixth Prince, why did you come to this place? Investigate the case? Isn't the fraud case in the Examination House? Just now, the third prince reported the results of his investigation to His Majesty. The case seemed to be solved. It was just a few candidates who cheated, and it was no big deal. Your Highness Dongwang doesn't need to worry. Your friend was confirmed to have nothing to do with this case. Dali Temple has passed the church and everyone has been sent back to Dongwang's mansion..."

Han Jian frowned. The third prince Yang Yu was quite quick. He solved the case so quickly? Or did some people in the court want to fight slowly and let the matter go as soon as possible?

When Sima Yi heard that Ruan Ping was fine, he showed joy on his face. When he saw Han Jian's serious expression, he knew that Han Jian would not give up.

Yang Xi said: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Lu, we just go in and check it out soon. There won't be anything."

"Okay, that's fine." Lu Shaokun quickly asked a few eunuchs to go to the warehouse to get the keys and open the door. He was still nagging for the rest of his life.

Han Jian found that Lu Shaokun was still very kind in front of people, especially in front of "powerful people" like him and Yang Xi, and he didn't look like a person with airs. He just didn't know if he was in front of others and the other ones.

When he found the key to open the palace gate of the Taixue Palace, Yang Xi took a breath of coldness when he saw the mountains of books and books piled up inside.

"There are too many, right?" Sima Yi complained, "I want to find this, but I may not find it even after ten or eight years."

"Then I'll find someone to help." Yang Xi was so surprised.

Lu Shaokun smiled and said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, don't worry too much. The books in the Tai Academy are all registered. As long as you check, it will be very easy to find whatever you want."

"That's right?" Yang Xi smiled with relief, "Then please help me find it. We need to find the exam papers for several sessions to review."

"Okay, I'll go find it now." Lu Shaokun was very enthusiastic to help.

After finding the storage place for the previous exam, Sima Jie started complaining again when he saw the large wooden boxes placed in the flattened books.
