Four Seasons Square, Four Seasons Restaurant.

boom!
Seeing the people not far away being taken away by Ji Zhong, Wei Yuan slapped the table heavily, stood up and said excitedly:
"Everyone, the time has come!"

Several people nodded immediately: "Young Master Wei, please tell me what to do?"

"Jointly submit a letter, beating the drums to appeal for grievances, running around shouting, and spreading the word!" Wei Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Okay! This plan is great! With the excitement of the crowd, let me see how Jia Jue will try!"

"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful! In this way, not only will Jia Jue not be able to become the number one scholar, but he may even be unable to enter the examination room."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Where did the plan come from? It is clear that we are filled with righteous indignation after witnessing such injustice!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the reason!"

Amidst the praise from everyone, Wei Yuan's eyes flashed with pride: Jia Jue, let me see how rampant you are this time!
He is quite familiar with the situation in Jia's mansion, because Wang Ziteng's wife, Wei Shi, is an elder in his family. Through her, he understands the internal situation of Jia's mansion, and naturally knows how Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan are like each other. To the greedy and stupid mother and child.

He spent 500 taels of silver before and after, obediently let Jia Huan listen to his arrangement, and sold the palace examination questions for him.

As for the topic of the palace examination, it is naturally fake, but it doesn't matter.

As long as it can be confirmed that the Jia family is selling palace examination questions, Jia Jue's reputation will be tarnished, and he will not be able to become the number one scholar. In order to avoid suspicion, his qualifications for the examination will be cancelled.

This is his plan, and at this moment, it seems that the effect is good.

As long as he mobilizes the southern scholars to add fuel to the fire, he can completely step on Jia Jue.

Once he accomplished this, not only would he be able to win the first prize, but he would also be able to gain a lot of prestige in the southern official circles, which would be extremely beneficial to his future.

Jia Jue, don't blame me for being cruel, just blame you as a stepping stone, it's too tempting.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Qi put down his pen and rubbed his temples. Recently, he seemed to feel that his energy was declining rapidly.

At this time, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a secret report."

"Bring it up." Zhao Qi was taken aback and said hastily.

Liu Tian quickly took the note from the guard and handed it to him.

When Zhao Qi saw it, his face immediately turned cold, and there was only one sentence on the note: Jia Huan of Rongguo Mansion is selling the true solution of the palace examination.

The moment Zhao Qi saw the news, his heart was filled with anger. This Jia Huan is trying to kill him!

But then, he calmed down and began to think about the meaning behind this matter.

Why did Jia Huan sell the test questions of the imperial examination?Does he have the ability to get the questions in the palace test?
Or is this topic from Jia Jue?

Leaving these things aside, he thought more deeply, especially since he had just told Ji Zhong that someone was suppressing and crowding out the Jia family, and something happened to the Jia family.

Could this be the opponent's wrist?

He pondered for a long time, but still didn't get an answer.

Just as he was thinking hard, another guard came to report:

"Your Majesty, many students have surrounded the Shuntian government office and demanded a thorough investigation into the matter of leaking questions in the imperial examination. Many students outside the imperial city have also signed a letter, begging to see His Majesty."

Zhao Qi squinted his eyes when he heard the words, the matter really became a big mess, and the speed was extremely fast.

This made Zhao Qi smell a strong smell of conspiracy. All of this was like singing an opera. As soon as this performance is over, the next scene will be staged immediately.

No buffering, no reaction time.

However, this matter involves scholars, and it also involves the officialdom. If it is not handled properly, it will cause turmoil in the court, and he must be cautious.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I will pass on my order, this case will be handed over to the Shuntian Mansion for trial, the truth must be found out! Those who commit crimes will be severely punished!"

"Yes!" The guard led the way.

Looking at the back of the guard leaving, Zhao Qi's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

……

Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Zhao's house.

"Girl, what happened before is all my fault, don't take it to heart. Fortunately, Brother Jue is capable, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to blame myself to death." Aunt Zhao pulled Tanchun laughed.

After applying Jia Jue's elixir, the scars on Tanchun's face have receded without leaving a single scar.

She looked at Aunt Zhao after hearing the words, her eyes were full of doubts, she hardly saw Aunt Zhao smile at her like this, why is it so abnormal today?
Seeing this, Jia Huan on the side smiled: "Sister, you don't know something, but the third brother raised the monthly rate for mother."

"Talking!" Aunt Zhao glared at him.

Tanchun was taken aback, and quickly looked at Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, what's going on?"

Aunt Zhao wanted to hide it, but she and Jia Jue had something to say first, and they couldn't make Tanchun unhappy, otherwise the money would be gone, so she told the matter embarrassingly.

After Tanchun heard the words, he was moved by Jia Jue's actions and felt ashamed by Aunt Zhao's actions.

"Auntie! How can you take this money?" She said immediately.

Aunt Zhao said quickly: "Girl, I don't want to take this money, it's Brother Jue who wants to give it."

"No! Can't take it!" Tanchun's attitude was very firm.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, this is Brother Jue's heart for you. He is thinking of you in his heart, so he took care of me. If you don't want this money, wouldn't it be a betrayal of his kindness? He is afraid that he will think you despise him."

What Aunt Zhao said made some sense, Tanchun felt anxious when she heard the words, she thought for a while, then walked out suddenly:
"I'm going to find him!"

"Girl, don't go, he will have a palace exam in a few days, so don't be distracted." Aunt Zhao hurriedly stopped her.

Tanchun immediately stood still, conflicted in his heart. Indeed, Jia Jue was studying at this time, so he really couldn't be distracted.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the house. A few people were going to check, but the door was pushed open, and several yamen servants rushed in: "Where is Jia Huan?"

Everyone was taken aback, and Jia Huan's face turned pale, but soon he calmed down:
"I am Jia Huan!"

The yamen servant shouted at him: "I am waiting for the yamen servant of Shuntian Mansion. You are involved in the case of leaking questions in the imperial examination. Lord Fu Yin sent you for questioning. Come with me to the yamen!"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao and Tanchun turned pale.

Aunt Zhao cried: "Masters, how could my son be involved in the palace examination!"

"I'll just take people away. If you have anything to say, go to Mr. Fu Yin." The yamen servant said, and took Jia Huan away.

Aunt Zhao was crying, and Tanchun was also pale. Jia Huan was her younger brother.

She looked in Linglong Xiaozhu's direction, struggled for a long time, and finally stumbled out.

Third Brother, I have no choice but to disturb your study, I would like to be a cow or a horse to repay your love.
