Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chu Zhuang's expression was serious. Although his methods were not very good, he couldn't care less about saving people right now.

"Ask Li Xu to help make a false testimony, and say that the person who took people away was a monk. There are not many temples in Dongfeng Mansion, and the Xiangguo Temple will be found soon." Chu Zhuang said his way.

"This has spread the wind in advance, will Xiangguo Temple be alert and deal with people in advance..." Yu Wenhong's eyes flickered with worry.

To search other temples, isn't this just to spread the word to Xiangguo Temple?

Chu Zhuang shook his head and said: "There are hundreds of people in these Jianghu people. Jingheng and the others can't kill so many people in a short period of time. The disposal of the corpses is also a big problem, and there is a big secret hidden in Xiangguo Temple. They dare not let it go. People went in and searched."

The nature of this secret passage being found is completely different from the arrest of some people from the Jianghu.

Jingheng and the others absolutely dare not take such a big risk.

"That's right...they dare not let people search the Xiangguo Temple..." Yu Wenhong's eyes lit up.

"Ah."

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly and said: "So, the best way for Jing Heng and the others is to release these martial arts practitioners before people search Xiangguo Temple. In this way, Wu Da has no reason to continue searching Xiangguo Temple."

"It's just that Li Xu asked him to give false testimony. Will he agree to cooperate?"

Chu Zhuang was not worried about releasing people from Xiangguo Temple, he was just worried about whether Li Xu would be willing to cooperate with their actions.

If Li Xu is unwilling to cooperate, then this plan will not work.

After all, Li Xu was the only witness to this incident, and only what he said could be trusted.

"I'll convince him."

Yu Wenhong was confident in convincing Li Xu, after all, there is no harm in giving false testimony, he just said that he saw a few monks, and he didn't name them as Xiangguo Temple.

In order to save his elder brother, Li Xu even dared to break into his mansion to give a harmless false testimony. I believe Li Xu would not refuse.

Just for the sake of safety, to prevent Jingheng from killing Li Xu if he really saw him, he still had to send Li Xu away from Dongfeng mansion secretly.

Time was running out, and Yu Wenhong didn't stay in Chuzhuang, so he immediately went to find Li Xu in the prison of the Imperial City Division.

Li Xu has been locked up here since he was arrested.

"Monk?"

Li Xu looked at Yu Wenhong suspiciously, and asked hesitantly, "Second Prince, why is this?"

"If you want to save people, just do as I said. It has been a long time since they disappeared. The longer the delay, the lower the possibility of their survival." Yu Wenhong frowned and reminded.

He didn't explain the reason to Li Xu. The matter of Xiangguo Temple's secret way is too important, and telling Li Xu would be harmful rather than beneficial to him.

"This……"

Li Xu lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. Right now he was caught in a prison. Anyway, there was no other way. As long as it could save people, he was willing to try any way.

"Then I will trust the second prince once more!"

Li Xu looked at Yu Wenhong and nodded vigorously.

Yu Wenhong nodded, explained the details to Li Xu, and then left.

"Remember what happened that night? How many monks did you meet?"

Wu Da looked at Li Xu with scrutiny in his eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you mention such an important matter at the beginning?"

"I was caught just now. I was too confused. I forgot to mention it. I thought about it last night and thought it was an important clue. That's why I want to tell you." Li Xu followed Yu Wenhong's instructions. .

Wu Da looked at Li Xu suspiciously, not sure for a moment whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

Yu Wenhong said from the side: "Master Wu, since there are no other clues at the moment, why not investigate in this direction. There are not many temples inside and outside Dongfeng Mansion, and it will not take much time to investigate one by one."

There are not a few people worshiping Buddha in Dongfeng Mansion, but most of the incense is absorbed by Xiangguo Temple, so Xiangguo Temple is also the largest temple among them, occupying an entire mountain.

The other temples are all small temples, scattered around.

As far as Wu Da's men were concerned, it took at most two days to investigate these temples, and most of the time was still spent on the journey.

"This……"

Wu Da's hesitation was not because he didn't want to check the temple, but that if he checked the temple, Xiangguo Temple couldn't get around.

"Second Prince, what about Xiangguo Temple? Xiangguo Temple is a national temple. Going in and searching will not have a good impact..." Wu Da whispered in Yu Wenhong's ear.

Jing Heng has won the trust of Yu Wenchang and has a certain reputation among the people. If possible, Wu Da does not want to offend him.

"Master Wu!"

Yu Wenhong looked at Wu Da with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Now hundreds of people have disappeared under your jurisdiction in Dongfeng Mansion. These people have not been found until now. I don't know the impact on Xiangguo Temple. Okay, but I know that the influence on you, Mr. Wu, must be very bad!"

These hundreds of Jianghu people are also the people of the Yue Dynasty, and the government in charge is of course also responsible for their sudden disappearance.

But it is Wu Da who is more responsible.

Because the government office is responsible for handling the disputes and cases of the common people, and Wu Da is responsible for the safety of Dongfeng Mansion.

At this juncture, Wu Da didn't want to save people, but also wanted not to offend Xiangguo Temple. No wonder Yu Wenhong gave him a cold face.

"Yes, the officer knows!"

Wu Da suddenly realized that if these people were not found, in Yu Wenchang's heart, his ability as the Imperial City Secretary would be questioned, right? !

At this time, Wu Da didn't care whether he would offend Jing Heng, and immediately arranged for people to search and arrest.

Once Wu Da started to prepare for the search, he moved very quickly. Yu Wenhong was relieved when he saw this.

……

East Palace.

Yu Wenjing wandered around the room anxiously, he didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net.

And now the fish that slipped through the net was caught by Wu Da of the Imperial City Division, and he revealed the disappearance of hundreds of people in the Jianghu.

Now Wu Da is leading people to search around Dongfeng Mansion. Although he has not been found yet, who knows what will happen afterwards?

As soon as Yu Wenjing knew the news, he immediately pulled the rope to notify Jing Heng, and now he was just waiting for Jing Heng to come.

There is a rope in the tunnel, as long as Yuwenjing pulls it, Xiangguo Temple will notice it, and Jingheng will rush over in the first time.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Jing Heng came quickly, and he knew that Yu Wenjing would not pull the rope if there was no emergency.

"National Teacher, something has been discovered!"

Seeing Jing Heng, Yu Wenjing didn't dare to delay, and immediately told him what he knew.

"Now Wu Da is leading people to search Dongfeng Mansion, and they are still heading northwest of the inn. Obviously, that person really saw you."

"How come, I already..."

After listening to Jing Heng, his face was gloomy. He was obviously very careful, and even personally followed at the end of the team, just to prevent anyone from following him.

Who knows, no one was following them, but they saw their every move clearly outside the inn.

"His Royal Highness, don't be impatient. Although this matter has caused trouble, we have not been suspected of it yet, so there is no need to worry."

Jing Heng comforted Yu Wenjing, he believed that even if Wu Da had a thousand guts, he would not dare to search the East Palace.

Although this matter has been brought out, it will eventually become an unresolved mystery.

"Who knows if that person saw anything..."

Hearing this, Yu Wenjing's face softened, but he still didn't dare to completely let go.

"We are masked, and he can't follow him. At most, he can only see us taking people out. Don't worry about the rest..." Just as Jing Heng finished speaking, there was a burst of anxious footsteps outside the door.

Jing Heng's figure was very fast, and he disappeared into the study immediately.

Seeing Jing Heng's actions, Yu Wenjing realized that someone should have come to report.

"His Royal Highness..."

Sure enough, not long after, someone knocked on the door of the study, and the person who came was Yu Wenjing who asked him to inquire about this matter.

"What news?"

Yu Wenjing asked directly.

"His Royal Highness, our people are guarding outside the imperial city, and saw Master Wu Dawu leading people out of the city. According to inquiries, they lost the city and searched the temple..."

The servants told Yu Wenjing the news they had found out.

They have also placed people in the Imperial City Division. Although it is not a key position, it is not difficult to inquire about one or two news and know the movements of the Imperial City Division.

In particular, Yu Wenhong did not keep the matter secret in order to let Jing Heng know the news, but deliberately disclosed the matter.

"What? Temple?!"

When Yu Wenjing heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and his eyes were full of panic.

This Jing Heng said just now that the other party had no way to find out his identity, but he was immediately slapped in the face.

If he didn't know their identities, how could Wu Da search the temple? !

"His Royal Highness..."

The servant looked at Yu Wenjing nervously, and called cautiously.

"Go down and continue to inquire!"

Yu Wenjing came back to his senses and kicked him out.

"National Master, Wu Da has brought someone to Xiangguo Temple!"

Yu Wenjing looked at Jing Heng and said angrily.

Since Wu Da didn't come to investigate the East Palace, there is naturally no chance of the secret passage in the East Palace being discovered.

But the other end of the tunnel is Xiangguo Temple!

The tunnel of Xiangguo Temple was discovered, and he, Yu Wenjing, also had no good fruit to eat!

"Wu Da is investigating temples, not specifically Xiangguo Temple. The situation has not reached a point where there is no way to deal with it."

Jing Heng walked out, obviously he heard everything that the servants came to report just now.

He was not as flustered as Yu Wenjing, and quickly analyzed the key points of the matter.

It's just that he also felt very strange.

They obviously wore hats and night clothes when they acted, so how did the other party know that they were a group of monks?
