After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Zhang Huaiyun followed the official into the room.

Seeing the three people sitting at the top, he bowed down and knelt down.

"I, Zhang Huaiyun, pay my respects to the three adults."

"Get up." Jiang Ci Yan said.

"Thank you, sir."

Jiang Ci Yan looked at Zhang Huai Yun in front of him.

He had already made preparations and was just waiting for the third prince to reveal the leak of the exam questions.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaiyun was still involved.

But this also gave them the upper hand.

"Mr. Zhang, tell me everything you know truthfully." Jiang Ci Yan said.

Hearing Jiang Ciyan's voice, Zhang Huaiyun calmed down and said:

"On the afternoon of March 6th, someone came to me with a set of questions to ask for my advice. I saw that the questions were novel, so I asked more questions. The man said that the questions were compiled by his brother, so I didn't think much about it and helped him solve the questions."

"But who would have thought that when I saw the examination paper the day before yesterday, I discovered that the questions on that day were exactly the same as those on the examination!"

"Such a big event, why is it reported only today?" Jiang Ci Yan asked sternly.

Zhang Huaiyun fell to his knees with a thud.

"I am extremely frightened, but I am also worried about affecting the test state of other students. That is why I suppressed my panic and waited until the exam was over before reporting to my superiors."

"I didn't mean to hide it, please understand!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

Lord Xu, who was standing by, saw Jiang Ciyan's angry look and advised, "Little Lord Jiang, don't be angry. He is just a student. It is inevitable that he will be scared when encountering such a thing."

Jiang Ci Yan curled up the corners of his lips when he heard this.

After a light cough, Jiang Ciyan's tone slowed down slightly, "Can you guarantee that what you said is true?"

"I swear that everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, I can write down what I answered that day and you can go and verify it." Zhang Huaiyun said solemnly.

The two adults thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, and looked at Jiang Ci Yan standing aside.

Jiang Ci Yan thought about it for a moment.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

The subordinates next to him quickly brought paper and pen to Zhang Huaiyun, and Zhang Huaiyun started writing on the low table next to him.

It only took Zhang Huaiyun two quarters of an hour to finish writing the content.

Handing the paper to the official beside him, Zhang Huaiyun said:

"Sir, time was tight that day, so I only wrote down my thoughts on the answers, not the details. You can compare this with the answers of other candidates. If there are more than two-thirds of similarities, then that person is the one with the problem that day."

Zhang Huaiyun was confident in his abilities. He liked to take an unconventional approach when answering questions. He would always consider two or three answers for the same question. That was why he was able to answer the exam this time in a completely different way from that day.

But since the person who stole the question asked him the question, his academic level must be average, and he must have used a lot of his ideas in his answer.

Jiang Ci Yan took the paper from his subordinate and started reading it.

Then he handed the paper to the two adults.

After the two of them had read it, Jiang Ciyan handed the paper to his subordinate and said:

"Find two reliable people to go with you to the examination room. Make sure to find an answer sheet similar to this one as quickly as possible. Remember, don't let anyone know."

"Yes, my lord."

The subordinate quickly took the paper and walked out quickly.

Zhang Huaiyun raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was still nervous.

When I raised my eyes, I was caught off guard by the smile in Jiang Ci Yan's eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Half an hour later, the subordinate came hurriedly with an answer sheet.

"Sir, we found it."

"Who is it?" Lord Zhou asked hurriedly.

"Yes..." When they arrived, the subordinates did not dare to report.

"Just say it, why are you hesitating?" Lord Xu scolded.

The subordinate made up his mind and said, "It's He Xiangyuan from the He Mansion!"

"What?!" The two adults were in disbelief.

The He family is the maternal family of the current Concubine Jia.

And He Xiangyuan is the third prince’s cousin!

Could this matter be related to the Third Prince...

Thinking of this possibility, Lord Zhou and Lord Xu broke out in cold sweat.

The subordinate handed over the answer sheet, and Jiang Ci Yan took it and started reading it.

After reading the answer sheet, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.

Humph, He Xiangyuan, how stupid are you to answer the question word for word...

After reading the answer sheets, Lord Zhou and Lord Xu also discovered this problem.

This, what should we do?

If we really investigate further, the third prince might be involved.

There was a flash of hesitation in their eyes.

Jiang Ci Yan saw the two men wavering and knew what was going on, so he gave Zhang Huai Yun a look.

Zhang Huaiyun understood, fell to his knees and spoke earnestly.

"Sir, now that the person who stole the questions has been found, please give me justice, and give justice to all the students who have studied hard all over the world!"

Jiang Ciyan said righteously: "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let you and the vast majority of students down."

After saying that, he looked at the two adults beside him.

"Master Zhou, Master Xu, this matter is serious. We must not tolerate it. Let's go and see His Majesty immediately!"

Jiang Ciyan stood up, looked at Zhang Huaiyun, and said to his subordinates: "You stay here and make sure to take good care of Mr. Zhang. Unless His Majesty summons you, no one is allowed to take Mr. Zhang away."

"Yes!" the subordinate replied.

At this point, the two adults could not say anything to settle the matter peacefully, and followed Jiang Ci Yan to the Yangxin Palace.

At this time, in the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Chengren was in a good mood today, and Xiao Yujing was playing chess with him.

Just as the rain was getting hot, a palace servant came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Jiang, Lord Zhou, and Lord Xu are here, and they have something important to report."

"Huh?" Emperor Chengren was a little surprised. Why did the three of them come together?

"Xuan."

Jiang Ciyan, Lord Zhou and Lord Xu entered the hall and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite." Emperor Chengren said with a smile, "It's rare to see the three of you together."

Seeing the serious expressions of the three people in the hall, Emperor Chengren felt a slight chill in his heart.

"Lord Jiang, what happened?"

Jiang Ciyan cupped his hands and said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty, the exam questions have been leaked!"

"Snapped!"

The chess piece in Emperor Chengren's hand fell onto the chessboard.

"What did you say?!"

Emperor Chengren frowned.

Jiang Ci Yan told Emperor Chengren everything that had just happened.

After listening to Jiang Ci Yan's report, Emperor Cheng Ren's face turned pale and he was burning with anger.

"You are so brave!" He raised his hand and slapped the chessboard hard, and the chess pieces scattered all over the floor.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Everyone knelt down.

Emperor Chengren looked at Jiang Ciyan, "Are all your words true?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything. This is what the student wrote down and the answer sheet he found. Lord Zhou and Lord Xu can also testify to this." Jiang Ci Yan handed over the answer sheet in his hand.

Eunuch Luo quickly took the answer sheet and presented it to Emperor Chengren.

After reading it, Emperor Chengren clenched the answer sheet tightly with both hands, his chest heaving violently.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination papers are strictly supervised and there have never been any mistakes. This time it must have been done by someone from the Hanlin Academy. I ask Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation." Jiang Ci Yan bowed deeply.

Emperor Chengren let out a breath of foul air.

"Come here, seal off the Imperial Academy. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Order the Imperial Guards to search it thoroughly!"

"Send the message to Sun Qi from the Scroll Collection Office!"
