Zhao Jin looked calmly, and after formulating measures for scientific examination reform, he revised them one by one.
What he and Gong Jie said that day was not half false, and leaving very few places for recommendation was his concession.
It is absolutely impossible for aristocratic families to directly participate in the examination.
The young man sitting in front of the long desk was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe, and his majesty was growing day by day.
"Your Highness." When the attendant came in to report, he couldn't help but lower his voice.
Zhao Jin did not raise his head, but bowed his head and gently blew the ink on the paper he had just finished writing, "What's the matter?"
"Master Chu Xiao, the Minister of Punishment, would like to see you."
Zhao Jin paused slightly, then said quietly: "Let him come in."
"yes."
Zhao Jin did not put away the paper filled with measures for scientific research reform. The ink on it was still wet, so Zhao Jin simply spread it on the table to dry.
Chu Xiao walked in quickly, lowered his head, and saluted respectfully, "I see you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and put his hands on his knees, "Today you should go to the government office to investigate Cui Nong's case with Fu Yin. How is the progress?"
Chu Xiao stood up straight, frowning tightly, "Your Highness, to be honest, this official is here just for this matter."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin was not surprised and even smiled, "It seems that the progress is not going well."
Chu Xiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Not only is it not going well, there is simply no progress."
According to his original conjecture, as long as a witness could be found in Cuijia Village today, and with evidence, Yao Qiran could be arrested first, even if the case could not be directly concluded.
Who would have known that this first step would have been strangled, leaving Chu Xiao helpless with the case.
In desperation, he could only come to look for Zhao Jin.
What he couldn't find, Zhao Jin might not be able to find.
"No one in Cuijia Village is willing to stand up as a witness?" Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and added: "Or is it that no one is even willing to mention this matter?"
Chu Xiao looked at Zhao Jin in astonishment and said blankly: "Your Highness already knows about this?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "His Highness attaches great importance to this case and has been paying attention to it for a long time. His subordinates are not very talented and have little knowledge, which has disappointed His Highness."
He knew very well that Cui Nong's case was a game between Zhao Jin and a wealthy family. Only if Zhao Jin won could the scientific examination reform be implemented.
Now that Zhao Jin named him and Fu Yin to take responsibility, he obviously valued him and entrusted him with such an important matter.
"It's only the first day, what's there to be disappointed about?" Zhao Jin frowned and knocked on the table, "The Yao family is powerful, this time you are facing more than just the Yao family."
"All aristocratic families will give way to the Yao family or help to a certain extent. It will definitely be difficult to deal with. This case is also difficult to investigate."
"Since I have appointed you to take charge of this case, it means that I think you have the ability to solve it."
Zhao Jin slightly said with some dissatisfaction: "What you said is really disappointing me."
Even if Chu Xiao really couldn't figure out the case, Zhao Jin wouldn't say anything. He had already left a backup plan, and leaving this case to Chu Xiao was more of a test and exercise for Chu Xiao.
But if he simply gave up, Zhao Jin would seriously reconsider his regard for Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao suddenly came to his senses and quickly raised his hands and said, "It's the official's appearance."
"Tell me what you think."
"The governor has a problem." Chu Xiao thought for a moment and said: "He should be on the side of the Yao family and has been obstructing the official from investigating the case."
"The Yao family was able to learn the news so quickly. It must not have been because a large number of people spread the news."
If so, the Yao family would not be able to threaten everyone in Cuijia Village on that day.
Zhao Jin nodded, "That's good, continue."
Chu Xiao's thoughts changed, "Now the best breakthrough point for Cui Nong's case is the people from Cuijiacun, but now they have blocked it."
"Another breakthrough point is Yao Qiran. Because the other party is preparing for the national examination and rarely comes out recently, and we have no evidence in hand, it is difficult to escort Yao Qiran from the Yao family to the government office for interrogation, so this road is also blocked.
"
Zhao Jin smiled, reached for the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "Continue."
"So, the only breakthrough point left now is to start with other members of the Yao family and Fu Yin."
Chu Xiao licked his lips, and his originally chaotic thoughts became increasingly clear.
Before coming here, he felt that he was helpless with this case and might disappoint His Highness, but just now he was stimulated by His Highness's words and after racking his brains to think about the case, he gradually discovered some things that he had not noticed.
"Furthermore, although the Yao family has blocked the breakthrough point in Cuijia Village, their blockage is not strong, and it cannot be strong."
Chu Xiao's eyes brightened slightly, and he spoke much faster, "Now we can make people pay attention to and investigate the dealings between Fu Yin and the Yao family, and at the same time find ways to pry open the mouths of the people in Cuijia Village."
"Well said."
The teacup and the table collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Zhao Jin put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I didn't misjudge the person."
"Your idea is right. Just do what you want. If there are not enough people, you can report it and come to the East Palace to borrow people."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Chu Xiao was overjoyed and bowed to Zhao Jin again. The initial feeling of dejection was completely gone, and he was eager to give it a try.
Zhao Jin smiled, this is why he likes to appoint and reuse younger people.
Although older people are experienced and act in a prudent manner, sometimes they are too prudent, lack enthusiasm, and are too slippery and too tactful.
Although young people do not have such rich experience, most of them are full of passion and drive. As long as they grow up and be well cultivated, they will become good officials.
"As for Fu Yin and the Yao family, since Yao Qiran can't do anything, Yao Qiran was not the only one who handled these things back then."
Chu Xiao quickly reacted, "Those servants who act as executioners."
"Yes, it is relatively easy to catch these people."
"Also," Zhao Jin reminded, "the Yao family and those aristocratic families cannot sit still and wait for death. You must be careful of their counterattack."
Chu Xiao looked slightly stern, "I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured."
"Yeah." Zhao Jin responded, suddenly pressing his finger on the paper in front of him and pushing it forward, "Come and take a look at this."
Chu Xiao stepped forward and lowered his head just enough to see the words on the paper clearly.
After he realized what was written on it, he couldn't help but reach out and press it on the paper.
Zhao Jin had already retracted his hand at this time and was looking at Chu Xiao's reaction.
