Qian Qingshu, the Grand Scholar of the Imperial Palace. Ignore the rest of the miscellaneous fish for the time being.

"Among the three examiners who may have leaked the questions, Qian Qingshu was eliminated first."

Xu Qian frowned: "Why?"

Wei Yuan replied: "The impeachment memorial must first go through the cabinet. The cabinet is Wang Zhenwen's territory, and Qian Qingshu is Wang Zhenwen's person. Do you understand?"

Wang Shoufu did not send the memorial back, which means that the matter has nothing to do with Qian Qingshu... Xu Qian nodded: "I understand."

Wei Yuan continued: "Secondly, your cousin Xu Xinnian is from Yunlu Academy. Although there are many factions in the court, it is the tacit understanding of all civil servants to jointly suppress the scholars of Yunlu Academy. This is what happened this time.

The main reason for fraud in the imperial examination."

"The great scholar from Yunlu Academy...didn't you remind me?" Xu Qian frowned.

"It is inevitable to encounter suppression, but it may not be due to fraud in the imperial examination. Even if Xu New Year wins the first prize, he can still be swept into the corner. There are no fixed methods and there are too many methods. How to guard against it?" Wei Yuan shook his head.

"Finally, Xu New Year is your cousin, and you are my confidant. When you encounter important matters related to your future, will you ask me for help? If I don't, there will be a rift between us. If I do, what will happen next?

The trick is coming." Wei Yuan sneered:

"Our Majesty is happy to see me fighting with the civil servants, so no news from the palace was spread."

Killing two birds with one stone... No, if there is the examiner who leaked the questions, the person behind it is killing three birds with one stone. As for Erlang, when he is involved in the imperial examination fraud case, there are no more than three endings: one, the evidence is conclusive,

Exiled or beheaded. 2. The evidence is conclusive, but the guilt is relatively minor, and the person is dismissed from the job, and will be banned from employment for life. 3. The person is not found guilty after investigation, but misses the imperial examination, and his reputation is ruined.

Xu Qian took a deep breath, his head was as big as a bucket.

Scholars are so disgusting. If there is any conflict, let's draw our swords and fight it out. It would be neat and tidy.

Do all these sneaky and sinister tricks.

"Wei Gong, what should I do?" Xu Qian humbly asked for advice. When it came to solving the case, he was full of confidence. When it came to officialdom battles, he was like a silver coin facing a group of kings.

Fortunately, there is a king-level boss behind me.

"I can end it, but in this case, Xu New Year will be mine, and the label on him will never be washed away in this life." Wei Yuan drank tea and looked at him with gentle eyes.

This matter is very troublesome. Even if Wei Gong takes action to help Erlang escape, he will probably have to break his muscles and bones. After all, the opponent is not a party, but it is probably a tacit understanding between multiple parties...

Moreover, if Erlang becomes a eunuch like me, it would be better for him to leave his hometown and leave the capital...

Xu Qi'an frowned, sat quietly for a long time, and said in a solemn voice: "Mr. Wei, is there any other way?"

"have!"

This answer surprised Xu Qi'an.

But Wei Yuan changed the topic and shook his head: "But you can't do it."

PS: Just to correct you, the reward from "SeanGhoust" is 230,000, not 190,000. I calculated it wrong in the last chapter.

In addition, I encountered some bad things recently. I didn't sleep all night last night. I slept for four hours during the day and then got up to code. Then I was not in the mood to code.

Fortunately it's the weekend, otherwise I would have been afraid of sudden death. I'll just update it today, hey.

Don’t worry, whatever you owe today will be made up for tomorrow, and you will keep your word.

By the way, the inspiration for this case came from the Tang Yin imperial examination fraud case, which is not a fabrication. I have checked a lot of information on imperial examination fraud, and there is conclusive evidence, but there are also many cases where there is no evidence, but their lives were ruined.
Chapter completed!
