"Well, I know, you have done a good job this time." Su Ziji was interrupted by the call, and he touched its furry head and said with a smile.
Then he sighed with a smile: "Time flies so fast. The spring exam is about to begin. In this case, we have to take a preemptive strike."
The little fox suddenly thought of something and chirped at Su Ziji again.
Su Ziji vaguely understood what it meant and touched its head again: "Want to help me? OK."
The little fox jumped down immediately and ran out.
Less than half an hour later, a soft sound came from the door again, like several small animals running quickly together. Su Ziji put down the book and looked towards the door.
The door creaked open, and a row of foxes filed in from the outside.
The big and small foxes led five foxes and gathered towards Su Ziji.
These furry ones all had a spirited appearance, and they would even stand halfway up and use their paws to bow, which made Su Ziji subconsciously raise the corners of his mouth when he saw them.
Su Ziji opened a grid and placed some silver coins in it. They were all bright and dazzling. The fox's eyes widened when he saw them, and they started talking among themselves.
"Haw (is this the life-threatening silver?)"
"Chirp chirp (yes, it's so beautiful that it can kill people)"
"Chirp chirp chirp (isn't my grandson a bit evil? Five taels can cost someone's life)"
Su Ziji didn't understand yet, or even if he did, he didn't take it seriously. He took out seven silver coins, each worth five taels.
This is indeed a silver ingot made by someone specially ordered by me. The silver content is very high, and I felt aggrieved when I couldn't let people go on the road.
"Come!"
"Chirp" the little fox took the lead. There was a small pocket on his clothes, so he stuffed five taels into it.
"Next!"
"Chirp" the big fox went up.
Su Ziji stuffed them one by one and asked the little fox: "Can they go?"
After all, these five are much weaker than the big and small foxes at first glance. Although they can't see the evil spirit, Su Ziji still has to ask the big and small foxes for their opinions on whether they can do these things. He himself thinks they can do it.
arrive.
The little fox chirped, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be patting his chest to make a promise.
This look made Su Ziji chuckle again.
"What do you want to say?" He gave the dictionary to the little fox and asked him to pick out the words.
The little fox marked the words one by one: "They are now more capable. They can go anywhere except the imperial palace and third-grade or above mansions!"
Huh? That’s not a small tone.
However, it can also be seen that these foxes have indeed completely settled in the capital.
When they first came to the capital, little foxes with the highest level of cultivation were subject to various restrictions. Now, these foxes, whose cultivation levels are far inferior to those of the little fox, can move freely in the capital.
This is worth pondering!
But now is not the time to think about it. Su Ziji nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
It's nothing more than letting these foxes follow the little foxes to the few people who were specially circled just now, and drop the money for those people to pick it up.
Some of them live in places that are inaccessible to ordinary little monsters, but since these foxes have the guarantee of little foxes, there should be no problem.
"It doesn't matter to everyone else, there are three things we should pay attention to."
"The first is the eunuch named Wang Jinzhong. You must pay special attention to him and let him get the money. The second is Huang Hao, one of Zhennanbo's stewards."
"It's still Zhang Modong. He is also relatively crucial. Nothing else should be a problem." Speaking of Zhang Modong, Su Ziji's expression froze. He still remembered this person as a classmate of Dragon Palace.
Logically speaking, it is very painful to be unable to get into Jinshi and to be unable to serve as an official for the rest of your life, but if the plot is on your own head, there is nothing you can do about it.
"As for Zhennan Bo, I originally didn't want to get involved, but who knew there was a big shark plotting against me?"
After giving the instructions, Su Ziji clapped his hands when he saw the foxes leaving one after another. A guard came in and said, "Please come over, Mr. Wen."
"Yes." The guard immediately went to invite someone.
After a while, Wen Xunpeng came. As soon as he came in, his eyes were bright and he bowed, as if he was waiting.
The two principals and ministers had a tacit understanding, so Su Ziji said calmly: "Execute it."
With just these three words, Wen Xunpeng understood immediately, his eyes shone with light, and he nodded immediately: "I understand!"
Imperial City Division
This is a place that ordinary people cannot easily approach, and it is also a place that officials avoid. Only the Imperial City Division's own people come and go.
In the past few days, the Imperial City Department has been extremely busy, with people coming and going, and people constantly coming in from outside to report some things.
But there are many things that only the person in charge knows, and the others don't. They are assigned various tasks, and there is also an information gap between them.
In the end, all the information was gathered into the hands of several eunuchs. They summarized the information and reported it to Ma Shunde.
In a courtyard, the door was tightly sealed, and all the rooms in the courtyard were unlit. Only two candles were placed on the table in front of the meeting hall, illuminating Ma Shunde's feminine face.
Several eunuchs who came over were promoted by Ma Shunde and were considered close confidants. One of them seemed to be named Wang Jinzhong, so he bowed and said, "Master Governor, this matter does not seem to be the work of one or two people. It is just a small subordinate.
I found out that there are people selling test questions at Huixian Building and Wuwei Building.”
Another eunuch also said: "Duke Gong, the people sent out by the younger ones found out that there are people selling test questions at the Zhang Family Inn and the Yingying Inn."
The third eunuch also told what his men had found. Not knowing what was going on, he cautiously asked: "Duke, are you going to arrest people now?"
If it were too late, who knows how many more people would be involved, and the matter would be even bigger.
Ma Shunde said nothing, his expression was calm and inscrutable, which made everyone awe, but they didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"It only takes half a month for the Imperial City Division to basically find out everything."
"I have reported many times in the past month, but the emperor did not say anything about raising the net. In the end, he even said something to himself. What did the emperor say at that time?"
"I want to kill the atmosphere in the examination room!"
Yes, that's the sentence.
If someone catches me now, it will feel like a big deal has been reduced to a trivial matter.
After all, being arrested in advance and being arrested in the examination room are two completely different results. The emperor wants to kill the atmosphere in the examination room, so he cannot be arrested in advance.
But thinking about it this way, Ma Shunde still felt that there were some places where he was stuck, and he always felt that he had overlooked something. He also felt that he might not have truly understood the emperor's meaning.
"Otherwise, Your Majesty wouldn't have reacted like this."
At times like this, Ma Shunde hated the eunuchs who stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, because they stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, so they could better understand the emperor's thoughts.
Unlike myself, who finally climbed up, but still lacked a little bit of fun.
Ma Shunde was unwilling to admit defeat in this matter, so he was still thinking deeply. Seeing him showing such an expression, the three eunuchs closed their mouths and stood aside carefully to wait.
"How many people may have bought it? Is there a statistical list?" Still unable to think of what he had overlooked, Ma Shunde rubbed his eyebrows and then asked.
Wang Jinzhong immediately took out a roll of lists and handed them over.
Ma Shunde opened it and saw that it was densely packed with many names. These names he had come across were really shocking.
However, Ma Shunde was not a scholar, and he did not need to worry about whether there were friends from the same hometown on the list, so he just looked down casually.
銆愭帹 drill鄪笅锛屽挭鍜阒呰 faintclounder
He was sitting a little lazily at first, but as he watched, he suddenly straightened up and his eyes became sharp.
"These two people..." Ma Shunde looked at the two names mixed in these names and was shocked. Why did these two people's names look so familiar to him?
Could it be some acquaintance of his? It shouldn’t be, right?
Ma Shunde pointed to the names of these two people: "Go and get the information of these two people."
The information of all the people on this list has been collected. Following the instructions, someone immediately took the information of these two people and submitted it to Ma Shunde.
Ma Shunde flipped through the information again and felt more and more familiar. These two people were from Linhua County, Linhua County...
He suddenly asked: "Have these two met the grandson?"
Wang Jinzhong, who had been waiting for his inquiry for a long time, immediately replied: "Back to the Governor, these two people have not only met Taisun, but they are also old friends with Taisun."
Old friend?
Yes, Taisun grew up in Linhua County. These two people are also from Linhua County and are old friends of Taisun. I'm afraid it's true.
Taisun's old friend... Ma Shunde was like a wolf that noticed a sheep. Suddenly, an idea flashed through him. What he couldn't figure out suddenly became clear!
Could it be...
Ma Shunde already had a horrifying guess in his heart, but as soon as the guess surfaced, he could no longer suppress it.
Because based on this guess, all the previous inconsistencies and ambiguities can be explained clearly in one go!
"By the way, have you found out that the paper was sewn into the silk cloth shop? Who is the owner of the silk cloth shop from Taisun Mansion?" Ma Shunde asked, holding back his excitement.
"Strictly speaking, she is not from Taisun's house, but the Sun family, the concubine of Southwest General Qian Zhidong. Qian Zhidong committed a crime and was beheaded and his house ransacked, but he still left a trace outside."
"It's just that she's just a girl, and she's under the protection of the then King and now the Taisun Mansion. The Imperial City Department doesn't have anything to do, it's just filing it away."
The eunuch still wanted to show off his abilities, but Ma Shunde was so enlightened that he stopped listening.
"That's it! That's it!"
To the courtiers, this was a shocking event, something that could shock people, but to him, it was a great joy!
What I have always been worried about is that my great-grandson will settle the consequences for me after he ascends to the throne. But what if my great-grandson never ascends to the throne in this life?
What if the grandson cannot survive this year?
"Ma Shunde, Ma Shunde, you are still scared and subconsciously don't dare to think like this. Otherwise, you would have already understood what the emperor meant."
Ma Shunde was so excited by his idea that he stood up immediately and said gaffefully: "No, don't arrest me now, just keep setting up the net!"
After saying that, under the astonished gazes of others, he burst out laughing involuntarily.
Only Wang Jinzhong lowered his head slightly and smiled.
Your Majesty, the Governor has finally come to his senses.
