"Have you seen Yuwen Shu?" Gao Hui asked nervously.↗,

Mu Shouli shook his head, "Yuwen Shu didn't see me at all. His subordinates only met Yu Wenhuaji. He said that his father was disappointed and doubted our sincerity and asked us to give an explanation, otherwise it would be difficult for both parties to continue to cooperate."

Gao Hui was secretly angry and asked again: "What do you say about the Yuan family?"

"The subordinates found Yuan Min. He said that their head was also very annoyed about this matter and asked us to find out who killed Liang Jingyao? Who leaked the secret? In short, if we don't give an explanation, the Yuan family will not be able to cooperate with us."

Gao Hui slammed the table with a "bang!" and gritted her teeth and said, "Who leaked the secret? If I found it, I will have to peel it off!"

"Madam, please calm down, my subordinates have some ideas."

Gao Hui suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around and asked, "What's the thought?"

"I think the leak is a bit strange. The other party is very accurate in time. It is obviously because he knows Liang Jingyao and his team's specific itinerary. There are three places that may be leaked in this itinerary, one is Yecheng, one is our place, and the other is Yuwen Shu.

Only my wife and I know about it here, so it will definitely not be revealed, so either Yecheng leaked the secret, or Yuwen Shu leaked the secret, and his subordinates prefer the latter."

“为什么?”高慧不解地问道.

"Because my subordinates suspected that Yuwen Shu or the Yuan family first leaked the news that we were going to use the Liang Zhi case to attack, so that the other party was prepared. If it was leaking the secret from Yecheng, the other party would not have time to prepare. What does the wife think?"

A sentence reminded Gao Hui, and Gao Hui immediately gritted her teeth and said hatred: "You are right. They have obviously broken the big news and blamed us for the blame. They also asked us to give an explanation. How can I explain it to them?"

Mu Shouli continued: "I originally thought it was Zhang Xuan's work. But then I thought about it carefully and felt that it was not necessarily Zhang Xuan's work."

Gao Hui was also a little stunned. She also thought it was Zhang Xuan's actions. After all, this incident was targeted at Zhang Xuan. He was the biggest suspect. Now Mu Shouli's statement immediately confused her, "Why wasn't Zhang Xuan's actions?"

"Because Zhang Xuan did not bring his men to Luoyang, there were more than 30 ambushers. Moreover, the ambush was arranged very carefully, and he actually used a tea shed. This was a very powerful local snake. Zhang Xuan and the others did not have the ability to do it."

Gao Hui pondered for a moment, nodded and asked again, "Who do you think it would be done?"

Mu Shouli has been in Luoyang for many years and has better understanding of the power structure of Luoyang than Gao Hui. He said slowly: "I suspect it was done by the Guanlong nobles!"

“武川府吗?不可能!”

"The subordinates do not refer to Yuan Min, but to another faction in Wuchuan Prefecture. The wife should know that the approaching of Bohai and the Yuan family will make many people panic."

Gao Hui understood what Mu Shouli meant. "Are you saying it was Dou Qing doing it?"

"The subordinates are just suspicious and have no evidence. And with Dou Qing's hidden power, it is reasonable to leak the secrets to him by Yuanshi or Yuwen Shu."

“可我怎么办?”

Gao Hui said angrily: "Do you ask me to tell Yuan Min or Yuwen Shu that this matter was done by Dou Qing, and it was your secret leaked and had nothing to do with me, so this matter can be left alone?"

"this"

Mu Shouli was also a little embarrassed, and after a while, he said, "I think I can put it aside first. There is no need to worry about this moment."

Gao Hui snorted heavily, turned around and walked out. If it weren't for the truth, she would have to resolve the crisis she was facing.

Mu Shouli sighed helplessly. He found that Gao Hui's temper was too irritable. She didn't want to listen again before she finished speaking. How could she know that she had no other way?

He hurriedly chased after him, "Madam, I have another important thing under him, which is about the Yuan family."

After returning to Luoyang, Zhang Xuan thought that the Bohai Association's revenge would follow one after another, but to his surprise, the Bohai Association had no movement. The murder of Liang Jingyao disappeared like air, and did not cause any storm.

In the Bibo Restaurant, Xu Yin smiled and shook his head, "General, you underestimate Yuwen Shu. He is not a rash man. He can live for so long and has been trusted by the emperor. Just because he has the shrewdness you would never have imagined. Liang Jingyao's plan failed, but Bohai will fail. It is also a Bohai will come to deal with you. It has nothing to do with him, Yuwen Shu, and he will never get himself into this matter."

"So he hasn't moved at all now, right?" Zhang Xuan asked with a cold face.

Xu Yin nodded, "Even people from the Bohai Association came to him, he had completely wiped out himself."

Speaking of this, Xu Yin reminded Zhang Xuan with sincerity: "The Liang Jingyao incident was actually led by the Yuan family. I want to use the overturn of you in exchange for Yuwen Shu's promise to destroy the Heroes Association. If you have no success in overturning you, then Yuwen Shu will not take the risk of destroying the Heroes Association again, but this does not mean that the Yuan family will stop. So as long as you have a good observation, you will find that the Yuan family will continue to cooperate with the Bohai Association, but not for you."

"But to destroy the Heroes Club!"

Xu Yin laughed, "General, can wait and see!"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Xu Yin was actually an extremely powerful character, especially good at understanding people's hearts and planning various conspiracies. It would be a pity if such a talent was not used by him.

Although Zhang Xuan had the idea of ​​cherishing talent, he did not immediately reveal it. He pondered for a moment and smiled at Xu Yin: "I have an idea. Maybe my husband and I can join forces to do something wonderful."

Xu Yin bowed and bowed, "I would like to cooperate with General Zhang!"

...........

The spring examination for the 11th year of Daye was finally successfully concluded, and more than 100,000 scholars began to wait for the release of the exam uneasy. At the same time, the major restaurants and brothels that had been deserted for a few days became popular again, and the big and small restaurants were filled with scholars who were drinking and gathering.

The business of the Zhuangyuanlou restaurant near the Imperial Academy is particularly popular. Because some internal news often breaks out here, it is nicknamed the Second Office of the Imperial College by scholars. Many scholars who want to inquire about the news will come here to drink, making the restaurant full of drinking scholars from morning to night.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to temporarily dismantle the elegant room and also remove the fence between the wine tables, making the restaurant lobby larger and accommodate more guests.

At noon that day, the Zhuangyuan Building was filled with hundreds of scholars. Some came to drink, but more were to inquire about the news. The lobby was noisy and lively. On the second floor, there were several scholars sitting by the window, all dressed in beautiful clothes and wearing precious swords, with a proud look on their faces. The leader was Cui Wenxiang, and the others were also children of famous gentry in Hebei.

Cui Wenxiang was a little depressed and drank one cup after another. Although the lobby was very noisy, their table was very dull, no one spoke, and they were all worried.

"Brother Cui, think about it!"

Bai Xinyang, who was as tall as a bamboo pole, whispered: "Most people did not do well in the exam this time, and they complained, mainly because the questions were too biased."

Cui Wenxiang sighed, "Don't persuade me, I understand in my heart that I am not prepared enough this time, and it is normal for me to fail the exam."

Li Qingming held up the wine glass and smiled and said, "As long as the world is still the world of aristocratic families, what if those poor children do well in the exam? If there are no children of the Boling Cui family on the admission list, then the imperial examination will fail. So I am not worried at all. The court will definitely balance the interests of the children of aristocratic families, otherwise the Sui Dynasty will be completely abandoned by the aristocratic families. Now the world is unstable, and today's son is not the time to be pretentious."

"Qingming, what do you mean?"

Cui Wenming stared at Li Qingming with sharp eyes, "Did you hear any news?"

Li Qingming is the legitimate son of the Li family in Zhao County. His uncle Li Gu served as the Minister of Rites and was one of the examiners of the imperial examination this time. Therefore, Li Qingming's words immediately attracted the interest of several friends around him. Everyone asked: "Qingming, what good news is there?"

Li Qingming drank a sip of wine and smiled, "I just heard my second uncle casually say that when today, due to the situation, I have to pay attention to the famous families and start to consider the interests of the families, this imperial examination will inevitably reflect the emperor's idea. If he does not win over the aristocratic family, he will probably become a lonely person."

Everyone nodded, "You can see through Qingming!"

At this time, a scholar came over sweating profusely. It was Lu Qingyuan. He looked excited and said, "Everyone, there is good news!"

Lu Qingyuan's father, Lu Zhuo, served as the Imperial College Priest, was equivalent to the Minister of Education in later generations and was also the chief examiner of this imperial examination. Lu Qingyuan made good news, such as getting inside information.

Everyone immediately pulled him down and asked anxiously: "Speak quickly, what good news?"

Lu Qingyuan bought a close call, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip. Then he smiled and said to everyone: "Absolute insider information, the emperor just made a decision this morning, and this imperial examination will be accepted for two thousand people."

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar and looked at each other. It was incredible that the imperial examinations were admitted at most more than 100 people, so why did they admit 2,000 people this time?

"Qingyuan, you are talking nonsense!" Everyone sneered.

Lu Qing shook his head, "This is what my father told me in person just now. If you don't believe it, forget it."

Everyone still couldn't believe it. What's the reason for admitting two thousand people? How could there be so many official positions in the Sui Dynasty?

Li Qingming asked without saying a word: "Qingyuan, has the Ministry of Personnel changed the examination?"

Lu Qingyuan nodded, "That's right! In the past, the Ministry of Personnel was directly awarded the official position after admission, but now after admission, he is only qualified to be awarded the official position. However, the Ministry of Personnel will choose the official position. Those who fail to choose are directly awarded the official position. Please wait patiently!"
