Outside the Hanlin Academy hall, Su Cheng looked at the dark-faced Bachelor Han in front of him, waiting for his answer.
He believed that Bachelor Han would make a choice. After all, the conditions he gave were very tempting. No one would want to kill everyone!
The imperial examination is very important. Anyone who dares to steal questions will be copied without any discussion. There is no need to go through complicated procedures. As long as the emperor nods, he can be questioned immediately, and he does not even have to wait for the Queen.
At this moment, Bachelor Han's face was livid. He knew that he was finished. Faced with the choice given by Su Cheng, he was hesitant.
If he reveals the person behind the scenes, he and his family can live, but will the person behind the scenes let him and his family go?
No, with that person's methods, he and his family will definitely be wiped out.
But if he resists the crime of stealing the title, he and his family will still be killed!
Both sides will die, but after confessing that person, he can at least negotiate terms with the emperor and Su Cheng!
Thinking of this, Academician Han narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Cheng: "If I tell you, can you really ensure the safety of me and my family?"
Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, little minions like you have never been my target. My opponent has always been the person behind you!"
Although these words were somewhat humiliating, Academician Han suddenly burst out laughing when he heard these words.
"Well said, hahahaha, well said. I am not your opponent. Life and death are just a matter of words to you. In this case, I tell you that the person who instigated me to steal the questions is none other than me.
…”
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, three darts were fired from the entrance of the Hanlin Academy, one aimed at Su Cheng, one aimed at Shen Youwei, and one aimed at Bachelor Han.
Shen Youwei's expression changed: "Mr., be careful!"
She dodged, avoiding the dart, and at the same time reached out to hold Su Cheng's arm. The two of them suddenly jumped to the side, avoiding the second dart.
But Academician Han was not so lucky. The dart cut his throat in an instant, and blood spurted out instantly.
Academician Han held his throat tightly with both hands. He tried his best to tell the person behind him, but wind kept pouring into his broken throat. The feeling of powerlessness overwhelmed his reason. As his vision went dark, Academician Han collapsed.
He died on the ground.
Until his death, he could not reveal the identity of that person!
At this time, a voice came from the Imperial Army guarding the Hanlin Academy outside: "How dare you three attack the bachelors and capture them!"
Immediately, the sound of weapons clashing was heard outside.
In the Hanlin Academy, Shen Youwei helped Su Cheng up, groped up and down, and asked, "Ms. sir, are you okay?"
Su Cheng shook his head, glanced at the exhausted Academician Han, and turned his head to look outside.
"The other party came prepared. Scholar Han had already wanted to reveal the identity of that person, but unexpectedly he was killed by the spy arranged by the other party. Let's go and see who his spy is!"
With a livid face, Su Cheng took Shen Youwei's hand and walked towards the outside of the Hanlin Academy.
Outside the courtyard, more than a dozen Imperial Guards wearing black armor surrounded three Imperial Guards also wearing armor, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Those three people were extremely skilled in martial arts. Faced with an army that was several times their size, they were able to hold on tightly without giving the army any chance.
"Ms. sir, stay here while I go and capture them!"
Shen Youwei couldn't stand it anymore, she wanted to take action against these three people herself!
Su Cheng nodded and was about to agree. Unexpectedly, when the three people surrounded saw Shen Youwei's appearance, they suddenly looked at each other. Then without saying a word, the three people directly waved the sharp swords in their hands and touched their necks.
"Pfft~"
As blood splattered, the throats of the three people were slit, and they fell to the ground dead instantly, giving Shen Youwei no chance to take action.
This scene made Shen Youwei stomp her feet and cursed in anger: "You have so much courage and dare to commit murder in the palace, you are so brave!"
Su Cheng shook his head and stepped forward to take a look at the three dead Forbidden Army spies: "It seems that our opponent is very powerful. We know that something may happen to the Hanlin Academy, so the opponent has arranged some people here in advance."
At this time, a captain of the Forbidden Army came forward and saluted him: "Master Hou, I have neglected my duty. I didn't expect these three people to be spies, which caused Master Hou to almost be in danger. Please forgive me!"
Su Cheng glanced at this person: "This matter is not my responsibility. Naturally, someone will hold you responsible. The Imperial Forbidden Army was actually infiltrated by someone. It is not something that a small captain like you can bear. After this incident, Your Majesty should Rectify the Imperial Army!"
After finishing speaking, Su Cheng turned to look at everyone in the Hanlin Academy: "I have taken the three test questions away with you. Remember to keep your respective test questions secret, otherwise Bachelor Han will be your fate."
After speaking, Su Cheng took Shen Youwei to the main hall to find the emperor.
If such a big thing happened, he would definitely go and tell the emperor in person.
In the main hall, Su Sheng listened to Su Cheng telling what happened just now, his face turned livid.
After a long time, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that the spy would be Academician Han. This person is so well hidden, and there is actually a spy in the Forbidden Army. Damn it!"
"An Lao!"
With an angry shout, An Lao, who was hiding in the main hall, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Su Sheng said with anger on his face: "Go and investigate the Forbidden Army immediately, everyone!"
"I obey my orders!" An Lao responded and immediately went down to investigate.
This is the Forbidden Army, and the soldiers and horses responsible for his safety have spies, which makes him feel insecure at all.
After doing this, Su Sheng calmed down a little. He sat firmly in his seat, his eyes flashing with a destructive light.
I originally thought that Su Cheng was just investigating the spies of the Hanlin Academy, but I didn't expect that the Imperial Army was also involved now. The problems in this palace are also huge!
At this time, Shen Youwei, who was standing below, was a little impatient. She gently pulled Su Cheng's sleeve and whispered: "Mr. sir, why don't you speak?"
Su Cheng shook his head at her, indicating not to speak.
Shen Youwei pouted and rolled her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the rules in the palace.
Fortunately, at this time, Su Sheng finally suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Su Cheng and asked, "What are you going to do next, Marquis Wu'an?"
Su Cheng thought for a while and handed over the three test questions he brought: "The previous test questions can no longer be used. I want to select some from these three sets of test questions as a set of test questions. In this way, even people from the Hanlin Academy I don’t even know what the real test questions are!”
"In addition, there is no need to send someone to copy the test questions. I just need to read the test questions personally on the day of the test and let those taking the test answer the questions."
This method made Su Sheng's eyes light up: "What a great idea. In this way, only you, Marquis Wu'an, know this question, and there will be no missing questions!"
Su Cheng smiled and said: "Yes, even the people from the Hanlin Academy only know the test questions they have done, not others. In addition, I will shuffle these test questions and randomly select some questions to prevent leaks. !”
After a pause, Su Cheng suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, how is the matter with the refined salt being handled?"
When Su Sheng heard about the refined salt, he suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, it has already started to be sold, and it is very popular. Your share will be given to you at the beginning of every month!"
Su Cheng laughed: "In this way, Wei Chen can rest assured. Let's leave this matter to King Liang today. Next, Wei Chen will be responsible for the imperial examination."
Su Sheng nodded and agreed without thinking: "Just follow your wishes, Marquis Wu'an. By the way, the Tutor is back. I'm going to entertain you tonight. You're not allowed to refuse!"
