In front of the Confucian Temple, the excitement was high and fear was widespread. In the blink of an eye, it became a mess. The group of government servants, only about twenty people in total, were pushed and shoved by the crowd. Soon they were scattered one by one in the crowd, being beaten by someone unknown.

, the extremely bright water and fire sticks were raised and dropped, and they were raised and screamed in succession. Some of the scholars fled in panic, some were more angrily, jumped to high places, raised their arms and shouted, and some,

He was twisted, stepped on and beaten, and screamed again and again...

Mr. Qin's legs trembled when he saw it. The situation in front of him was not that the scholars gathered to cause trouble, but that... someone planned it...

Mr. Qin did not dare to look any further. The front of the teahouse was already in chaos, and the shopkeeper was shouting in horror to close the door and hurry up.

Mr. Qin took a few steps back, grabbed the tea doctor who was holding the door panel, randomly fumbled a small silver piece and stuffed it at him, "Does your tea house have a back door? Take me out."

Dr. Tea took the money, immediately threw away the door panel, pulled Mr. Qin and went straight to the back door of the tea house.

Mr. Qin came out of a very narrow alley, stood on the spot and turned around a few times, figured out the direction, and went straight to Yongning Uncle's Mansion.

……………………

In the palace of Prince Qin on the other side of the capital.

The King of Qin stood behind the long case, at least he looked very peaceful, and he was writing with his wrist hanging.

Jin Zhuoyan held the folding fan tightly with his fingers, and stood side by side at the door of the study with Lu Yi. At the door of the study, the curtain was raised high, and Jin Zhuoyan and Lu Yi stared at the hanging flower door with solemn expressions.

Outside the Chuihua Gate, Cheng Ying trotted in, rushed into the house from the middle of the yard, and quickly met Li, "It has become a big fuss. So far, two scholars have died. It is said that they were beaten to death by the Yamen servants, and one was killed with water and fire.

He was hit on the head with a stick, and a large piece of his head collapsed. Another one was stabbed to death with a knife, which passed through the heart. The knife was still on his body. It was the knife of the government servant, and the government servants all carried knives."

"Who killed him? Did you see clearly?" Jin Zhuoyan took a step forward and asked urgently.

"It's not the yamen servant. The one who drew the knife from behind the yamen servant and killed him. I saw it clearly. He killed someone and ran away. People were already watching him. The other one... there were too many people. Even if it was the yamen servant who smashed his head, I didn't know.

I can see clearly." Cheng Ying lowered his head in shame.

"Crush the Tianling Cap with a fire stick. The government officials in the capital don't have the strength. Who are the two soldiers who died?" Lu Yi frowned.

"One is Wu Qing, a scholar from Hubei Province who was the first to speak out and expose the fraud in Chunwei. The other is Ding Qing, a scholar from Xifeng Road. People have been sent to investigate Ding Qing's origins."

Lu Yi hummed and looked at Jin Zhuoyan. Jin Zhuoyan waved his hand and Cheng Ying lowered his hand and exited, running out all the way.

King Qin had put down his pen and stood behind Lu Yi and Jin Zhuoyan, "This Wu Qing can be used once alive and again after death. It is really useful. That Ding Qing must have been born in a poor family with no background.

If he says he's going to die, he's going to die. Let people check when he entered the capital and who he had close contacts with. If there is anything unusual after entering the capital, there must be a reason for his death."

"Yes." Lu Yi agreed and went out to give instructions.

King Qin turned around and picked up the writing he had just written from the long case, shook it, read it again, put it back on the long case, looked at Jin Zhuoyan, and whispered: "The Ming family, I am afraid that this time it is doomed."

"It's your own fault!" Jin Zhuoyan reached out and picked up the piece of paper and looked at the long list of names on it.

These are all the people who have benefited from this subject exposed by the scholar named Wu Qing. Those who should be there are all there, and there are also many who should not be there...

……………………

Everyone in Yongningbo's house was immersed in joy. At the door of the house, a group of stewards were happily delivering the Four Treasures of the Study.

A group of idle men who announced the good news were still sitting on the steps of the gate, drinking the fragrant tea from the uncle's house and counting today's rewards.

In the main hall of the uncle's house, Mrs. Yan tensed up and stared at Mr. Qin. She couldn't believe her ears.

Li Wenshan's mouth was half open, as dumb as a clay figure. He was so shocked by the news brought by Qin Qing that he was in a state of confusion and couldn't react at all.

Li Wenshan sat blankly, looking out the window, stunned.

A-Xia must know about such a big thing, why didn't A-Xia tell him? Didn't this happen last time? Just like A-Xia said, last time, King Qin didn't go to Hangzhou, and he didn't know King Qin... No.

, maybe, just to make a fuss. In the autumn of Hangzhou the year before last, some people also made trouble after the results were released. He even went to see the excitement...

Well, that must be the case...

Mr. Qin looked at Li Wenshan, who was staring blankly, with extremely complicated eyes. His good fortune was really... so good that it made people sigh. He actually avoided such a thing, uncle...

Mr. Qin turned to look at the dumbfounded Li Wenshan, whose eyes were dull. Judging from the arrangement, this incident must have been planned for a long time. Judging from the hasty response of the Jingfu Yamen, this is calculated with no intention...

This spring, a big scandal is going to happen, and I will definitely not be able to get out of it. I'm afraid I won't have to think about this matter of fame anymore...

"Call Sun Zhong in!" Madam Yan recovered the fastest and ordered sternly.

The mother-in-law outside hurriedly agreed to go out. In a moment, Sun Zhong was full of joy and ran into the main hall. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and the joy on his face suddenly froze.

.

"Listen!" Madam Yan said with a stern voice, "Two things, do it immediately! One, remove all the red silk ribbons from the door, stop sending out pens and inkstones, and get everyone back! Everything is as usual, just treat it as...

…There is no such thing as a master becoming a Jinshi!”

Sun Zhong was not allowed to think too much. Madam Yan was already giving urgent instructions one after another. Sun Zhong was extremely shocked, his eyes widened, but he quickly agreed, "Yes!"

"Two, go to the Confucian Temple immediately and see what the fuss is about now. Go quickly!" Mrs. Yan's final voice was sharp and harsh.

"Yes!" Hearing this sharp final sound, Sun Zhong's hair stood up all over his body. Something big must have happened!

Mrs. Yan's stern instructions pulled Li Wenshan back from his trance. Seeing Sun Zhong running out in a hurry, Li Wenshan stood up and looked at Mrs. Yan: "I will go to the palace now to have a look. The prince and the others...

…”

"Sit down!"

"No!"

Mrs. Yan and Mr. Qin shouted at the same time.

"Right now, you can't go anywhere, and we can't go anywhere." Mrs. Yan's back was straightened and she looked at Mr. Qin, "Sir, please talk to them."

"Fifth Master, I'm afraid this group of scholars were not angry about this matter and came forward to expose the trouble..." Mr. Qin looked at Li Wenshan and carefully described the strong men he just saw and several other details, "...
Chapter completed!
