Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

"What I want to know is who is backing Lao Liu."

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "A cheater can do this and get the test paper from the Ministry of Personnel. I can't imagine this background. Mr. Ji, do you think it's right?"

Ji Wenjing smiled and said, "Perhaps this is also an opportunity for Your Highness to deal with a group of people who do not obey Your Highness's arrangements, or to take this opportunity to do something. Sometimes bad things can turn into good things."

Zhu Xuan understood what he meant and nodded, "I understand what you said, but I was provoked like this, so I have to do something to return the favor."

Ji Wenjing said: "Your Highness, just do whatever you want to do. Now that the entire Ming Dynasty is under the supervision of Your Highness, you have enough reasons and conditions to do it."

"You are encouraging me to do something."

Zhu Xuan smiled, but thinking of the students who were still taking the exam and Lao Liu and others who were caught, he said, "Let's wait for the result of Jinyiwei first."

However, these words have just been spoken.

Jiang Li hurried in and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the mouth has been pried open. These are the confession of Lao Liu and the list of names obtained through questioning."

Hou Xian took it hurriedly and handed it to Zhu Xuan.

The confession also listed a series of names, and Lao Liu narrated what he did and how he profited by cheating, and he also gave out the name of a left vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel named Zhang Yao.

"Is this all that Lao Liu confessed?"

After Zhu Xuan finished reading, he asked.

Zhu Xuan was certain that there was something wrong with the contents of this confession. The man named Lao Liu definitely did not tell the truth.

"That's all, but I think he must be hiding something else."

Jiang Li also thought so and said loudly: "A left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel does not have the energy and courage to steal the test papers and sell them. There must be someone behind this."

There must be more than one Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel behind him.

"Then keep checking."

Zhu Xuan said coldly, "Old Six's mouth is still very stubborn. If you can't pry it open, you can use some special means. In addition, take Zhang Yao away first, and then arrest people in the examination room according to the list. There is one more thing. I just met the emperor. He said he wanted to investigate backwards. You Jinyiwei should prepare."

"Yes!"

Jiang Wei said in response.

He could predict that the Jinyiwei would be very busy in the future, extremely busy, and would not be able to stop.

In particular, it is very difficult to trace back. In the past, the scholars who were on the list were either assigned to serve as officials in local areas or in the court. There are a lot of things to do during the investigation.

This was the order, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Jiang Li dared not disobey it, and he left quickly.

Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to send the contents of Lao Liu's confession to Ji Wenjing for him to read.

"What do you think, Mr. Ji?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Ji Wenjing said, "Master Jiang is right. A Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not enough to be Lao Liu's backer. There must be someone behind him. I just don't know who this person might be. It depends on whether Lao Liu dares to speak up."

"This depends on the methods of the Royal Guards."

Zhu Xuan sighed, "My first imperial examination turned out like this. They clearly didn't give me face."

Ji Wenjing said: "In this case, Your Highness does not need to give them face."

"I didn't intend to give them face."

Zhu Xuan said: "This time, even if Grandpa Huang doesn't say anything, I may still kill a lot of people. If I don't kill more people, I won't be able to make an example of them."

Ji Wenjing was thinking that Zhu Xuan was becoming more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang now.

They are worthy of being grandfather and grandson!
-

Zhang Yao, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is also responsible for supervising the exam today.

Originally, it was not his job to supervise the imperial examinations.

However, Zhu Xuan was temporarily replaced and cheating was discovered, so this became his task. The cheating made him tremble with fear and panic.

You should know that it was Zhang Yao who took out Lao Liu's test paper. Hearing that Lao Liu had been caught, Zhang Yao was very worried now, thinking that she would be the next one. After all, cheating is something that cannot be washed away, and Lao Liu will definitely not be able to withstand the Jinyiwei's pressure.

Seeing the Jinyiwei walking back and forth in front of her, Zhang Yao felt uneasy and also walked back and forth.

At this time, someone else came to the examination room.

It was Jiang Li who came again.

The moment she saw Jiang Li, Zhang Yao's heart trembled violently. She thought that this time it was really over. Jiang Li might come to arrest people again. What should she do?
Zhang Yao thought about escaping, but the entire examination room was controlled by the Jinyiwei, and there was no condition for escape. It seemed that she could only wait to die and be taken away by the Jinyiwei.

"Master Jiang."

Zhang Xun saw Jiang Li coming again and asked, "Are there any new clues?"

Jiang Li took out the list provided by Lao Liu and said, "This is what Lao Liu said, the people who bought cheating from him. I am here to catch them this time."

"so many!"

When Zhang Xun saw the names on the list, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the list. After all, such a thing had happened and the Jinyiwei would not dare to falsify it casually. You have to know that His Highness and His Majesty were waiting for the outcome of this case.

In other words, it's all true.

Zhu Xuan once said that there is no fairness in the world.

Zhang Xun had always believed that their imperial examination was fair, but now after seeing this list, he believed that it was no longer fair.

If this is the case with this year’s imperial examination, what about previous ones?

Once some things are discovered, they will not be done just once, and it is even more impossible to be discovered in just one time. They must have been done a lot behind the scenes. There may be problems with the imperial examinations in the past.

If you want to trace it, you may have to trace it back.

If the investigation continued like this, Zhang Xun couldn't imagine how terrible the consequences would be.

"That's all!"

Jiang Li said, "I'm here to arrest people this time. Sir Zhang, please cooperate and gather all the people on the list."

Zhang Xun came back to his senses and sighed helplessly: "We can't disturb the candidates who are taking the exam normally."

"we know."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I also want to bring someone from the Ministry of Personnel back with me."

Zhang Xun shuddered!
In fact, he could guess that there might be someone in the Ministry of Personnel who cooperated with the outsiders to cheat, otherwise the test paper would not have been leaked. Now Jiang Li wanted to arrest the people in the Ministry of Personnel.

"Who?"

Zhang Xun asked.

"Zhang Yao."

"It's him!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Xun said in disbelief: "Zhang Yao is usually very normal, nothing happened to him."

Jiang Li said: "The confession of Lao Liu is about this person. People's hearts are often hidden. It is normal for Lord Zhang not to know this person. Moreover, we Jinyiwei dare not frame a good person!"

In such a major matter, Zhang Gong believed that the Jinyiwei would not dare to frame anyone at will.

"He's on the left."

Zhang Xun had no choice but to let it go and did not dare to help Zhang Yao as he questioned Jiang Li.

"Catch someone!"

Jiang Wei said.

Zhang Yao had been paying attention to the conversation between Zhang Xun and Jiang Li.

At this moment, he saw Jiang Li coming towards him, and he panicked and turned around and ran. (End of this chapter)
