"Sir, I asked the brothers to keep an eye on Boyixuan. As soon as that guy comes out, he will kill him." After leaving Zhang Cheng's house, Li Quan volunteered, "I guarantee that he will do it without anyone noticing."
"You can't scare the snake away." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "What I want is Zhao Zonghui..."
"Zhao Zonghui..." Li Quan swallowed and spat, "What are you going to do to him, sir?" After all, he is the son of a dragon, and he has no guts to touch him.
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Chen Ke smiled and said, "Besides, I am a member of a big family." He patted the dust on Li Quan's shoulders and said, "We from the Song Dynasty are
You have to abide by the law.”
"That's good..." Li Quansong said in a tone: "But if you want to abide by the law, Chang Baima's confession is not enough to do anything to Zhao Zonghui."
"Wrong," Chen Ke sneered and said: "You have to understand how serious this matter is. From Qin Qi to Chang Baima to Zhou Guanjia to Boyixuan and then to Zhao Zonghui, a complete chain has been formed. Don't believe in officials.
Don’t be angry at home.”
"That's right. As long as the officials think that he disrupted the examination, they will definitely punish this guy." Li Quan thought about it and said: "It's almost the same. He will have to follow in the footsteps of Zhao Zonghan."
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said calmly: "I want evidence of the crimes of the Prince of Runan County, not just Zhao Zonghui, but also his group of brothers. I want any evidence of misdeeds. I will reward them all!"
"Hehe, okay." Li Quan smiled and said, "No problem, brothers love doing this kind of work the most."

"Why are you so disciplined this time? It's not like you?" Song Duanping asked after returning from Zhang Cheng's house: "I thought you would dig a hole and bury Chang Baima, and then go directly to Boyixuan.
"
"People have to take a hard time and gain wisdom." Chen Ke closed the door and said softly: "I learned a lesson this time. No matter what I do, I must not put myself in danger first. After all, Li Quan is from the Imperial City Division.
, even though I have fed him. But if things get out of hand, there is no guarantee that we will be kicked out."
"Yes. People are separated from each other, so we still can't be too honest with them." Song Duanping whispered: "So you said that on purpose?"
"Yes," Chen Ke said calmly: "Now that I know who the enemy is, do I still need them to take action?"
"Shall we arrest the butler ourselves?"
"It's been so many days since the accident happened in the exam, so he must not be in Boyixuan anymore." Chen Ke shook his head.
"It's really difficult to handle," Song Duanping said, "I've been keeping an eye on the Runan Palace for the past few days. Zhao Zonghui has never shown his head. I think he also knows that the news is tight, and he's hiding in his bastard shell."
Hehe smiled and said: "If you can scare him so much that he doesn't go out, your reputation is strong enough."
"It doesn't matter. If you really want to scheme, you can't avoid it." Chen Ke said coldly: "Am I just an example?"
"Yeah." Song Duanping nodded and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Treat others in their own way." Chen Ke said bitterly: "Everyone thought that I would come to force this time, but I decided to do it! They framed me no matter what. I will pay back the consequences.
Them!" He told Song Duanping in a low voice.
"Holy shit, shit..." Song Duanping listened and kept exclaiming: "It seems that you really hate it this time..." After a pause, he said: "But where can you find a dragon robe? This is not something you can buy with money.
Arrived."
"The ones in the troupe are enough." Chen Ke sneered: "No matter if he is real or fake, he will be disgusted to death."

That afternoon, Chang Baima was escorted back to the Imperial City Division.
The interrogation started as soon as the people arrived. Monk Chang Bai and Ma Zhang Er were confused and said, "Hasn't it already been interrogated?"
The interrogating eunuch looked at the escorting officer, and the officer smiled and said: "I tried to scare him on the way, but I didn't expect that without being scared, he poured beans out of the bamboo tube, and all of them were killed."
"It saves trouble." The eunuch nodded and said, "Then tell me. Who asked you to do it..."
"I've said it once..." Chang Baima curled her lips.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The officer glared at him and said, "Hurry up and start recruiting!"
Half an hour later, the eunuch took the confession and reported it to Shi Quanbin, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and an official of the Imperial City Department.
"Recruited so quickly?" Shi Quanbin was a little surprised.
"If you meet a coward, you will pee immediately." In order to show off his merits, the eunuch would not say that he picked the peach.
"Not bad." Shi Quanbin looked at the confession, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You saved our family from being scolded this time." The officials had high hopes for this imperial examination, but who knew it would be full of twists and turns. It almost made a big joke.
Naturally, he was furious. It had only been a few days and he had already questioned him several times.
When the eunuch retreated, Shi Quanbin was not in a hurry to report it. Instead, he found his personal eunuch and whispered: "Go and tell the old prince. We will delay the report for a while, which is worthy of him."
That’s a big house with five entrances.”
"Yes..." The young eunuch bowed and stepped back, then hurriedly left the palace.
After a while, Zhao Yunrang, who was still in the dark, finally knew that his son had gotten into trouble.
"Call me that little beast..." In the past few days, the old prince had been ill, breathing like a bellows, and now that he was holding in his breath, his face turned purple.
Zhao Zongyi quickly stroked his father's back and advised him to calm down, but not to get angry out loud.
"I'll forget it if you make me mad!" Zhao Yunrang said with trembling blue lips: "Everyone is self-righteous and acts wantonly. If they don't make me mad to death, they will kill me!"
Zhao Zonghui was in a state of constant panic these days. He never expected that Chen Sanlang would be so determined to survive a certain death situation. This made it impossible for him to make the next move to add insult to injury, and he had to worry about being killed.
The murderous guy takes revenge.
He had been staying at home, so when he heard his father's call, he arrived in a blink of an eye. Seeing that his father was furious, he quickly lowered his head and went over and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"I'll beat you to death!" Zhao Yunrang raised his crutch and hit Zhao Zonghui head and face. Zhao Zonghui quickly got out of the way and only broke the old prince's favorite official kiln vase.
"Dad, what mistake did I make again?" Zhao Zonghui asked with a look of astonishment on his face.
"You're still pretending, and people are grabbing your hands and neck!" Zhao Yunrang pointed at this unscrupulous man with trembling fingers: "I ask you, is it you who asked someone to frame that Chen Ke!"
"How could it be?" Zhao Zonghui naturally denied it: "If I don't leave the front door or take a second step, how can I frame him?"
"Your housekeeper in Boyixuan!" Zhao Yun banged his cane on the ground and said angrily: "Now the Imperial City Department has found out about him! Even if you hide it from me, I won't ask you anymore, just pretend that I didn't do this to you.
You beasts, let them fend for themselves!"
As soon as he heard that his butler had been found, Zhao Zonghui's legs went weak, but he still said hard: "How is it possible? Dad, you won't let me open Boyixuan, so I resigned the butler. He should be already here now."
Back home!"
How could Zhao Yunrang know that his son was like a father? After hearing him wipe his butt clean, he calmed down a little and said, "Let me tell you clearly, if the officials find out about you,
, don’t expect me to show off my old face to wipe your buttocks like I did last time! You are shameless, and I, Zhao Yunrang, have to be shameless!”
"Dad..." Zhao Zonghui said bravely: "It really has nothing to do with me..."
"Let's talk to Zongzheng Temple about this later!" Zhao Yunrang gave him a ruthless look and said, "If you dare to implicate Thirteen, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"Dad..." Zhao Zonghui immediately felt like crying. Grandma, it was that bastard Thirteen who persuaded me to do it, OK! That bastard is better. When something happened, he acted like nothing happened and let me take the blame.

After the palace door was locked, Shi Quanbin went to face the saint and presented Chang Baima's confession.
"You are so courageous! You even dare to destroy the imperial court's talent promotion ceremony!" Zhao Zhen looked at the back and turned pale, and after a long while he said bitterly: "Let me check it out!"
"If we continue to investigate, I'm afraid it will kill Prince Runan and the fourth prince."
"Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as common people." Zhao Zhen waved his hands in disgust and said: "Tomorrow you will work with Zongzheng Temple to jointly investigate this case." In order to protect the royal clan, any investigation of the clan must have someone from Zongzheng Temple present!
"Here." Shi Quanbin responded respectfully and was about to step back.
"Don't disturb Prince Runan." At this time, the emperor's anger subsided a little, and he exhaled a long breath and said: "We still have to save some face for him..."
"Here."
After a night of silence, the next day, Shi Quanbin went to Zongzheng Temple with the official handwriting and found Zhao Yunbi, the king of Beihai County.
After hearing his explanation of his purpose, Zhao Yunbi immediately remembered what Zhao Zongji had said to him last night...
Last night, Zhao Zongji told him that if the Imperial City Department wanted to search Boyixuan, they must find a way to let them search under the bed in Zhao Zonghui's dormitory.
Zhao Yunbi asked why the Imperial City Department wanted to search Boyixuan. Zhao Zongji said that it was because the case of sabotaging the joint examination was found on Zhao Zonghui. Zhao Yunbi asked again what was inside, but Zhao Zongji never mentioned it and only said that he would see it when he saw it.
knew.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, people from the Imperial City Department actually arrived. After Zhao Yunbi calmed down for a while, he stood up and said: "Eunuch Shi, please drink tea and wait a moment. I will go and issue a document for you."
"It's easy to talk about." Shi Quanbin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please do."
Full of shock, Zhao Yunbi went to the signing room and asked the chief clerk to write documents outside. At the same time, he called Zhao Congzhao, the prime minister of Zongzheng Temple, into the inner room.
Zhao Congzhao is the grandson of Zhao Defang, a descendant of Taizu. Although Taizong had promised that the two families would be rich and powerful together, it was impossible. Wang Xiaoer, the Taizu lineage, inevitably had to celebrate the New Year, and every year was worse than the previous year. Zhao Congzhao wanted to
If he had not been friends with Zhao Yunbi since childhood, he would not have become the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple.
