Chapter 709: The emperor pays off

Zhu Han stayed in the study all night.

I am still puzzled by the current situation.

According to his past desire to investigate the truth, if at this juncture now

If there were some connections between officials in the court, he would definitely be able to find clues.

After all, I had no way to participate in the imperial examination.

Ge Rong was wrongly accused like this, and there was absolutely no way that he could just sit idly by and watch.

After much thought, Zhu Han decided to take the risk.

When making arrangements, there are already many things that many officials in Yingtian Mansion have to do to protect each other.

If this is the case and a blatant investigation is started, it is very likely that the enemy will be alerted.

Zhu Han called Gao Fei to his study.

Gao Fei frowned at this time. He had conducted a thorough investigation with many officials in Tianfu last night, but so far there was no way to find out.

When Gao Fei looked at Zhu Han, his eyes were a little dodgey.

He had known about Zhu Han before, and had made great efforts these days in order to investigate the truth of the matter.

So far, the real culprit behind it has not been investigated.

In order to be able to show something as soon as possible, they paid a lot of price this time.

"Your Majesty, we have already thought about it before, and now there must be someone behind the scenes."

"All this time, I have been unable to find out the opponent's position. If this continues, it may have a huge impact on us."

Gao Fei also does things in a clear and logical manner.

Zhu Han frowned slightly when he heard his words. Now that he has reached this point, there is no need to hide his strength anymore.

Zhu Han looked at Gao Fei and handed over the few masters he had to Gao Fei.

"They are very powerful martial artists. Now I will leave them in your hands. Don't be merciful during this investigation."

"I also want to see how strong Mr. Qian is, and how capable he is of taking action against these students in Yingtian Mansion?"

Zhu Han had secretly made up his mind, this time he must investigate the matter clearly and give justice to Ge Rong.

This is not just for Ge Rong.

What's more important is that there are definitely many people in Yingtian Mansion who will continue to pay attention to this matter.

So many people have died, and now Ge Rongdu has become the only one alive.

If he can't even protect himself, what's the use of being the prince himself?

Zhu Yuanzhang placed all his hopes on himself, and he would never let Zhu Yuanzhang down.

Zhu Han said that Gao Fei saw four sturdy men coming out from behind the screen.

They held swords in their hands and all looked heroic.

When seeing this scene, Gao Fei couldn't help but admire Zhu Han.

These few people already know that they are definitely not just ordinary people. They are highly skilled in martial arts and can have such strong strength. This is simply delicious food.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely get to the bottom of it. Many people are now seeking information."

"I heard that the situation among officials has become more and more obvious these days. If we can catch them all, we will naturally be able to find some clues."

Gao Fei has been with Zhu Han for so long, and has always been very clear about Zhu Han's behavior.

Now that we have reached this point, no one will waste time investigating other things.

Zhu Han is naturally not a problem in this arrangement.

"With your words, I feel relieved. I must keep an eye on Mr. Qian. I don't believe it. He still has no way to contact those students."

"Leave the matter of cheating in the imperial examination to the prince. I think he will definitely have a way to investigate and find out some truth."

Zhu Han saw everything clearly. In order to make this arrangement, he had already handled it properly.

If someone dares to attack him, he will spare no effort to quickly investigate the truth of the matter.

If anyone in Yingtian Mansion dares to do harm to him, he will surely suffer the consequences.

With Zhu Han's arrangements, Gao Fei spared no effort and started making preparations.

What they didn't expect was that every move they made at this time had already been seen by Qian Shangshu.

In the study of Qian Shangshu of the Qian family, several students were already sweating profusely.

They knew that Zhu Han was going to investigate cheating in the imperial examination this time, and they had already begun to worry about their situation.

"Sir Qian, in order to participate in the imperial examination this time, we have guaranteed our wealth and life. If we still have no way to participate, I am afraid that all our family wealth will be in vain."

"Yes, Mr. Qian, we all have a lot of relationships with you. Now that something like this happens, you have to make the decision for us."

"Zhu Han is really difficult to deal with. If he wants to continue to pursue it now, he will definitely find you. It's better to prepare early."

Qian Shangshu didn't take it seriously when he heard his student's words. His reputation in Yingtian Mansion had already surpassed all others.

There were already many students who wanted to join his camp before, but he didn't care at all at that time.

Now that Zhu Han has returned to Yingtian Mansion, no matter how they pursue it, as long as they bite the bullet and don't expose any flaws.

He didn't believe that Zhu Han could still have great abilities.

Qian Shangshu looked at the students in front of him, snorted coldly, and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground.

"Why do you have such a temper? You really think they can find out the clues. It's really ridiculous. I have not been an official in Yingtian Mansion for so many years."

Three years ago, he was just a small servant, but he was able to climb to this position in just a few years.

It is conceivable that he did receive Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

When the students heard what Qian Shangshu said, they did not dare to discuss it anymore.

They also set their sights on Zhu Han. After Zhu Han returned to Yingtian Mansion, he began to investigate the matter one after another.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Naturally, officials do not dare to continue wasting time on this kind of thing.

Especially Qian Shangshu.

Now it was Zhu Han's turn to investigate the case of imperial examination fraud, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Everyone who knows the inside story of this matter has already died. Even if Ge Rong is left, he is considered to have extraordinary abilities."

"The Five Poison Powders on his body cannot be removed. No matter how panicked you are now, you will only show your flaws. Your dream of becoming an official in the court in the future will be cut off like this."

Qian Shangshu looked at the students in front of him and quickly beat them up.

"You just stay in my house and study those books carefully. I will introduce you to His Majesty in a while."

"The imperial examination has been stopped. You can still win His Majesty's favor in the palace examination."

The imperial examination is not only to test the talents of the students, but more importantly, it can reveal their many views on the country, the country and the country during the imperial examination.

If you can stand out, you will be a great general.

Zhu Yuanzhang cherished his wealth as much as his life.

This has long been an indisputable fact in Yingtian Mansion. Many students entered the court to participate in the imperial examination, all hoping to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor.

Now in Yingtian Mansion, there are already many eyes staring closely at their movements, and every move is attracting attention.

No one would joke with their own future.

When the students heard what Qian Shangshu said, they agreed one after another.

After they left, Qian Shangshu's steward quickly stepped forward and picked up the debris on the ground.

Qian Shangshu looked at the housekeeper busy and sighed.

"I originally thought that there would be nothing happening after Zhu Han returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect that he would be handed over to him to handle the imperial examination."

"It seems that His Majesty takes this imperial examination fraud case very seriously."

The housekeeper has been with Qian Shangshu for many years, and naturally he has a way of serving him. He understands the meaning behind Qian Shangshu's words, and quickly comes forward to give advice and suggestions.

This is an excellent opportunity. If they can take advantage of this trend, they will naturally stand out.

Before that, as long as Qian Shangshu could maintain a stable foothold in Yingtian Mansion, no one would cause trouble for him.

After all, Qian Shangshu's qualifications were there, and Zhu Yuanzhang would still take a look at his contribution to the court over the years no matter what.

"In my opinion, even if the prince investigates the causes and consequences of the imperial examination fraud case, he will not convict you now."

"After all, this matter was not done by the master alone. There are many court officials who were implicated. Could it be possible that all civil and military officials in the dynasty will be dismissed from their posts and investigated."

Qian Shangshu laughed, looked at the housekeeper in front of him and shook his head.

"It's really short-sighted. The case of imperial examination fraud involving the prince, who had an extraordinary position in Yingtian Mansion, was greatly affected. Those students hanged themselves one after another."

"It caused quite a stir in the inn. Although we spent money to settle it, if we want to trace it, there will naturally be a lot of loopholes. We just want to see how His Majesty will judge now."

Qian Shangshu seemed to have thought of something as he spoke. He looked at the housekeeper in front of him with a sinister look.

"Arrange a few people to go to the inn and set a fire to burn all those who knew and those who didn't know, so that they will not dare to say anything in the future."

When the housekeeper heard what Qian Shangshu said, he quickly went to prepare.

After the others left, the murderous look in Qian Shangshu's eyes was unparalleled.

He just wants everyone to know that he speaks the truth in Yingtian Mansion.

Even if the accusation of fraud in the imperial examination was pinned on his head, without real evidence, Zhu Han could not do anything about it.

Early the next morning, when Zhu Han went to court, he heard several officials discussing the imperial examination fraud case.

They are all a little worried. If the trouble continues like this, there may be a lot of repercussions in the future.

They have no choice but to settle these matters. The officials and students who were affected.

It’s really a waste of time!!!

"Although more than a month has passed since this case of imperial examination fraud, all those students are filled with indignation. More than a dozen of them have died now. They are really jealous of the talented people."

"I don't know who is behind this. It's really unbearable to see the students hurt like this. If I can help them, that would be great."

"This matter has been handed over to the prince for a long time. I believe that the prince will enforce the law impartially and will be able to find the real culprit as soon as possible."

Zhu Han overheard several officials whispering in the court hall.

He took a look and saw that these people were actually the examiners of this imperial examination.

When they looked at each other and Zhu Han, it seemed that there was always a kind of fear in their hearts.

Zhu Han watched their every move and did not make any move at all.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang also brought up the case of imperial examination fraud in the court, and he was very angry.

"We paid a private visit incognito for several months, but we never expected that Yingtian Mansion would be governed so badly by you after we came back."

"The small imperial examination was used to select talents, but I didn't expect it to turn into a den of wolves. Students committed suicide one after another. The imperial examination questions were leaked. How did you handle it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice resounded in the hall, and all the officials knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a hidden secret in this matter, but during the investigation, even those students did not dare to tell the truth."

"But it has become even more difficult to rescue them now. They are so dead and injured that there is really no way out."

"A lot of rumors have been spread in Yingtian Mansion before, but when the officials investigated, they found no clues. I think it was all rumors spread by others."

After hearing their words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even more gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on Qian Shangshu.

"Qian Aiqing, you are the examiner of this imperial examination. Where did the leak of the examination questions come from? And why did those students commit suicide?"

Qian Shangshu was suddenly called upon, and he quickly stood up.

The questions raised by Zhu Yuanzhang were answered one by one.

He put all the blame on the students.

"In the opinion of Your Majesty, there was no leakage of test questions in science this time. It's just that those few students are knowledgeable and can write excellent articles based on the knowledge of the test questions."

As he spoke, he glanced at the deputy examiners kneeling on the ground.

"As for some people saying that students have committed suicide one after another, I have something to say. After all, these students have been studying hard for more than ten years and suddenly failed the exam, and it is suspected that someone else leaked the exam questions."

"Of course their lofty ambitions could not be realized, so they committed suicide in shame. It had nothing to do with this imperial examination."

Zhu Han became even more angry after hearing what the former minister said.

Now that the evidence is insufficient, I still have no way to bring him to justice.

The students were alive and well, and it was too much to watch them die like this.

"Then who of you has a different opinion on this matter? Are so many students just watching them die?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he threw the memorial to impeach Zhu Han on the ground. The officials were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han performed this double act extremely delicately.

Outsiders couldn't tell at all, and even Qian Shangshu thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry.

The next moment, Zhu Han slowly stood up.
