After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Since Pei Jiaoran entered Zhongshu Province, he has basically never been to Yushitai. Now, accompanied by Jin Wuwei, I stood in front of the gate again and couldn't help but sigh. Smoothing the wrinkles on her sleeves nonchalantly, she crossed the threshold.

Tonight the censor's desk is all brightly lit. Pei Jiaoran met many familiar faces on the way to the wedding room, but she was too lazy to be polite to them and only nodded in greeting. Wuzi entered the Yushi Prison.

The censor's prison was overcrowded. Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, as well as ministers from the Ministry of Personnel who participated in scientific examinations, were all detained here. Of course, Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for escorting the papers, was also imprisoned.

Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly as his eyes passed over the group of people. Follow Jin Wuwei and continue walking inside.

She was placed in the last cell. The Jinwu guards who escorted her in were quite polite and did not do anything inappropriate. Before leaving, he did not forget to bow his hands and salute.

Looking at Jin Wuwei's leaving figure, Pei Jiaoran sat cross-legged on the stone bed. Closing his eyes and meditating, this happened too suddenly. She was trapped in the situation again, and for a moment she couldn't figure out whose handiwork it was.

From time to time, voices calling for injustice reached his ears along the long and deep stone path. Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and looked at the candlestick on the wall outside the cell door.

The candle flame was blown from side to side by the wind coming in from the window.

After sniffing, Pei Jiaoran sat huddled together. But he began to recall in his mind, who were the officials who had just been arrested by Yushitai.

She was concentrating on trying to sort out the various joints, but was interrupted by the sound of the chains shaking. When he turned around to scold him, he realized that the visitors were Cui Taizhu and Wei Taiduan, with Yuan Yanchong standing beside them.

With a calm expression, he stood up and offered his hands to the two of them, a gentle smile appeared on Pei Jiaoran's face.

The two of them didn't speak, they just kept looking at her. Both of them were experienced censors. Just standing here could make officials intimidated. However, facing Pei Jiaoran, who was only in his early twenties, they felt powerless.

Cui and Wei both had their hands behind their backs, but their eye contact never stopped. Pei Jiaoran smiled needlessly when he caught a glimpse of the little moves between the two.

Under the instruction of Master Cui, Wei Taiduan glanced at her and spoke slowly.

"Pei Jiaoran, on the night when you were on duty on the third day of this month, a chamberlain saw someone entering and leaving Zhongshu's public apartment in another province."

"Oh? In that case, can you clearly see the appearance of the person coming?"

"No. If I could see the face of the person clearly, why would I bother to ask you." Wei Taiduan looked at her intently.

"Then when did he see it?"

"Xu Shi."

"The moonlight is dark and the wind is high at the time of Xu. Is it possible that the chamberlain has made a mistake?"

"Impossible." Wei Taiduan retorted.

"Why is Tai Duan so sure that he is not wrong? I also want to ask, why did Yushitai want to take me?"

"The prepared test questions were sold on the black market. Your Majesty suspected that someone was taking advantage of his position to leak the questions, so he ordered us to investigate the matter."

"Then what does the leaking of the subject have to do with the fact that a servant saw me meeting outsiders in Zhongshu's province?"

For the first time, he was shocked by Pei Jiaoran's acumen. Wei Taiduan glanced at her and said after a while: "Meeting outsiders can help vent the problem."

"The palace is strictly forbidden. If I leaked the questions, how did he avoid the Jinwu Guards' inspection? What's more, the questions were drafted by three examiners and then presented to the imperial court. In other words, everyone in the preparation of the exam this time They are all suspected."

"That's why Your Majesty took so many people in one breath. Pei Jiaoran, don't make excuses about him." Wei Taiduan frowned.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "Isn't it Wei Taiduan that you have been confusing my thoughts? According to what you say, you don't rule out the possibility of Your Majesty leaking the question."

It’s already chaotic enough, so let’s just drag everyone down together. Her intuition told her that Emperor Wei would be happy to see how this matter would develop.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wei Taiduan scolded.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Master Cui, who had been watching for a long time. Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Master Cui, don't you want to ask me?"

When Wei Taiduan was interrogating her, Master Cui had been staring into her eyes, seemingly trying to find some flaws. But unfortunately, during this period, not only did her eyes not change, nor did she show any panic.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran thoughtfully, Master Cui turned and left. The remaining two people looked at each other and left together. There is no need to continue this interrogation at this point.

Only an oil lamp was left shining in the cell.

Obviously, the leaked test questions are indeed true. Moreover, His Majesty takes this matter very seriously. But where exactly did the problem occur?

Pei Jiaoran frowned irritably. Another gust of wind blew, and the candle flame was about to be extinguished. She stretched out her hand to protect the flames, but she was blown by the steep cold wind and sneezed several times.

"Pei Sheren, you can make do with this brazier. It's a bit choking, but it's better than nothing." The jailer looked around, then carefully opened the cell door and put the stove aside, "If you need anything, just let me know. I will try my best to help you."

Looking at the attentive jailer in front of him, Pei Jiaoran tried his best to retrieve his name from his mind and smiled: "Thank you very much, Prison Chief Wu."

"Hey, it's a trivial matter. You can rest, I'll just resign."

His hand was placed a few inches above the brazier. After a while, the chill in my body slowly receded.

The firelight reflected on Pei Jiaoran's face, and she stared at the little sparks, with deep meaning in her brows.

Who on earth put so much effort into leaking the exam questions for the major?

She frowned and thought. Master Cui and Wei Taiduan have left the Yushi Prison and returned to the public room.

Instructing Yuan Yanchong to step aside first, the two continued to talk.

Wei Taiduan took a sip of tea and praised: "She is really smart. And her thinking is so clear that I couldn't get her around."

"It's very rare not to panic or panic. Compared with the other people, she has always been calm and calm." Master Cui said with a smile in his eyes, "No wonder she can be favored by Duke Changli. But this time the involvement is too wide, she may not be able to Get out."

"Sigh. The preparation of scientific examination papers has always been encrypted at all levels. What method did the other party use to get them out. But I think Pei Jiaoran's words are reasonable. If someone wants to leak the examination questions, how can he avoid the inspection of Jinwu Guards? "

"None of this is important. Anyway, now that the test questions are leaked, it means that there is a problem in some link." Wei Taiduan squinted his eyes and said with emotion: "I'm afraid that many people will be implicated. You said that the three provinces will have a place. Is it free?"

"Who knows? Your Majesty only asked the Yushitai to find the wrongdoers, and he didn't say how many people would be needed. Anyway, as long as the reputation and face of the imperial court can be restored, nothing else matters to Your Majesty."

After listening to Master Cui's words, Wei Taiduan sighed. Although he did not particularly agree with some of Cui Taizhu's actions, he knew that being soft-hearted in the court would be more dangerous.

I just don’t know where this storm will go.
