Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 235 Prison visit, news!
"Zan Junmo, you'd better tell the truth, or you will suffer."

"..."

"You really don't want to talk to us?"

"..."

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry..."

Seeing that Zan Junmo remained silent, Yue Ming sighed and waved his hand.

The jailer who was waiting on the side brought various tools with a smile and interrogated the prisoners. They were very good at it.

"Sir, Zan Junmo is just ahead..."

Lord Zhang walked into the prison with Yin Hongzhi, smiling, "Zan Junmo, someone is here to see you."

When Lord Zhang saw Yue Ming and others preparing to torture him, he immediately frowned.

Yin Hongzhi said coldly: "Zhang Quan, is this how you handle cases in the Dali Temple?"

Zhang Quan smiled awkwardly and winked at Yue Ming, "Why don't you step down?!"

Yue Ming smiled, bowed, and led his men out of the cell.

"Master Yin."

“Why did you make such a mistake??”

"I have failed to live up to your expectations and made such a mistake, which has brought shame to the Qi Palace. Please inform your Excellency that I will take full responsibility for all the mistakes and it has nothing to do with the Qi Palace!"

Zan Junmo looked serious.

Yin Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction at Zan Junmo's attitude, but said in a cold voice: "You said it lightly. You relied on the reputation of the Prince of Qi's Mansion and committed so many mistakes, causing the reputation of His Highness the Prince of Qi to be damaged. Can you bear it?"

"But don't worry, the prince has already arranged people to investigate your crime. If it is really you who did it, even if the Dali Temple forgives you, the prince will definitely not let you off easily!"

"But if someone wants to frame you, we in the Prince Qi's Mansion are not something that anyone can bully! Do you understand?"

Zan Junmo bowed and said, "I understand!"

Yin Hongzhi nodded and glanced sideways at Yue Ming and the others who were walking over. "Patrolman Yue is so arrogant. He wants to torture people from Prince Qi's Mansion without any evidence?"

Yue Ming: "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We are just having a heart-to-heart talk with him."

Yin Hongzhi snorted coldly: "If you want to have a heart-to-heart talk, that would be the best. If you force a confession, don't blame me for reporting you in front of the Crown Prince!"

Yue Ming: "I understand."

Yin Hongzhi looked at Zan Junmo and said calmly, "Just stay here and see how they interrogate you."

"Yes."

Zan Junmo smiled and nodded.

Yin Hongzhi turned to leave, Zhang Quan hurried to accompany him, Yue Ming smiled and bowed, "Sir, take care."

After seeing Yin Hongzhi off, Yue Ming said cheerfully, "Zan Junmo, you have a strong relationship in the Prince Qi's Mansion. Yin Hongzhi even came to see you."

Zan Junmo glanced at him and said, "It is the kindness and righteousness of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi!"

"Ha ha……"

Yue Ming sighed, "Zan Junmo, you are also a person of character, why are you so naive?"

"Let's not talk about what happened in Qizhou. The explosion outside Wannian County alone is enough to make you suffer."

"If the King of Qi is implicated in this matter, they will definitely put an end to it, and then they will need a scapegoat."

"Now that Liang Mengbiao is dead, do you think you can still live?"

Zan Junmo: "Your Majesty has treated me well. Even if I die, it is what I deserve."

Yue Ming's mouth twitched. It really was a stone in the toilet.

Smelly and hard!

"I'm going to go out and get some fresh air. You guys talk to him."

Yue Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He waved his hand. Several jailers nodded in understanding and walked towards Zan Junmo with torture instruments.

……

"Yin Hongzhi is here?"

"Yes."

"Did Zhang Zhubu bring it here?"

"How does your Excellency know?"

Sun Fujia smiled. Zhang Quan had already exposed Mu Chi's affair. This time he took the initiative to bring Yin Hongzhi to see Zan Junmo. Did he want Yin Hongzhi to take action?

However, Yin Hongzhi only talked with Zan Junmo for a short while and then left, obviously not intending to kill Zan Junmo directly.

So Zan Junmo is very likely to become a scapegoat?
"You go down first."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "I am Qiao Mengzhuo, seeking to see you, sir."

"Come in."

Sun Fujia looked up and saw Qiao Mengzhuo strode in.

Sun Fujia: "Has the matter in Wannian County been confirmed?"

Qiao Mengzhuo shook his head. "Those bodies were destroyed in the explosion. It's impossible to tell which one is Liang Mengbiao."

Sun Fujia knocked on the table, so it was impossible to conclude that Liang Mengbiao was involved in this matter, nor could it be linked to the Prince of Qi's Palace.

"In that case, forget it. Go and have a rest."

"Yes."

Qiao Mengzhuo bowed and left.

The explosion in Wannian County was clearly a power struggle between the King of Qi and the King of Wei, but in the end it ended up being razed to the ground and everyone died.

Although it was certain that a third party was involved, Sun Fujia did not dare to think too deeply about it, and there was no evidence.

Sun Fujia knocked his head and finally focused his attention on Zan Junmo's file.

Since there is no evidence implicating the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the matter can only be dropped. However, these things done by Zan Junmo are enough to make him beheaded in public.

……

Prince's residence.

A letter was delivered to Su Chen.

Sun Qiang: "Sir, this is a letter from Cen Wenzhao. Please take a look."

Cen Wenzhao had been very quiet in Shannan Road, but now he suddenly sent a letter, which made Su Chen a little curious.

After opening the letter and reading it carefully, Su Chen couldn't help but frown.

The letter said that Cen Wenzhao had discovered some aristocratic families in Shannan Road who were looking for a child prodigy with a photographic memory. Therefore, he was particularly curious and sent people to secretly investigate. It turned out that most of the aristocratic families in Shannan Road were secretly doing this.

Su Chen put down the letter with a puzzled look on his face. What was the purpose of searching for a child prodigy?
"Sir, Lord Yu Zhining is here."

"Please."

Su Chen stood up to greet him.

"Brother Su."

"Brother Yu, please take a seat."

Su Chen smiled and invited Yu Zhining in, then ordered someone to serve tea.

Yu Zhining said slowly, "Brother Su, I came here this time because the prince asked me to bring you something."

"what?"

Yu Zhining took out a piece of paper and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took it and checked it. This was news sent from Henan Prefecture.

What surprised Su Chen was that the wealthy families in Henan Province were also recruiting child prodigies, especially the Kong family.

Due to its powerful influence, dozens of gifted child prodigies have been found.

"What a coincidence."

Su Chen handed the letter sent by Cen Wenzhao to Yu Zhining.

After Yu Zhining took a look, he asked in surprise, "Why are these people collecting child prodigies?"

Su Chen tapped his folding fan: "I am also wondering about this."

"But judging from these two pieces of news, it seems that it is not just the wealthy families in these two places who are looking for child prodigies."

"It seems like someone is planning something."

"layout?"

Yu Zhining frowned and thought, "Searching for a child prodigy..."

"Is it to deal with the 500 students that the Cui family has taught this time?"

"If that's the case, then it's easy to deal with, but I'm afraid it's not."

Su Chen rubbed his head. Silk threads kept getting entangled in his head and then slowly peeled off.

Child prodigies, students, Head Start programs…

"what do you mean?"

"Maybe they're here for the Enlightenment Program!"

Su Chen slowly said: "Use these child prodigies to target the enlightenment plan we set up before!"

Yu Zhining pondered, a look of astonishment on his face, "Could it be that they want to send these child prodigies to Chang'an City to compete with the 500 students trained by the Cui family?"

Su Chen nodded heavily: "It's possible!"

Yu Zhining said solemnly, "So-called child prodigies are mostly born with knowledge, and after studying, they make amazing progress."

"It only takes them a year or two to complete what ordinary people would take three to five years to complete!"

"If these noble families have really collected so many child prodigies, then can the 500 students of the Cui family really be able to compete with them?"

Su Chen: "As long as Cui Junsu and the others teach seriously, I believe these child prodigies are no match for those students."

"but."

"Brother Yu, have you ever thought about a question?"

"what?"

"We just got this news today!"

Yu Zhining's face changed.

They just got the news today!

In other words, these people were already searching for the child prodigy before they got the news!
These child prodigies who were found are very likely to make rapid progress under their guidance!
If this is the case, then once we gather in Chang'an City...

"Can't lose!"

Yu Zhining said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we can't lose this matter!"

If the five hundred students taught by the Cui family lose, it will be a huge blow to the prince's prestige!

The enlightenment plan will inevitably be shelved, and the prince will also be affected.

and.

Yu Zhining said in a deep voice: "If you lose, you will be in danger!"

The prince might be affected, but he is the prince after all. Even if the aristocratic families have the upper hand, they cannot cause any harm to the prince.

But Su Chen is different!

Su Chen knocked his head and said, "Maybe, but I think they are more dangerous!"

Yu Zhining: "What are you going to do?"

Su Chen smiled. Some things don’t need to be said explicitly.

Yu Zhining frowned, "Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times?"

"But those children are innocent after all. I still suggest starting with the noble families."

Su Chen nodded, "I will arrange it carefully."

Yu Zhining: "In that case, I will leave first. This matter must be informed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance."

"it is good."

Yu Zhining nodded, stood up and left.

Su Chen looked at the letter on the table and tapped his folding fan with a smile.

This is the power of the aristocratic families.

Even though he had secretly set up information channels, he was still facing such a centuries-old or millennial family because his foundation was weak and he was unable to obtain information in the first place.

When Su Chen saw this news, perhaps they were already prepared.

Let’s have a fight.

Su Chen knocked on his folding fan. If those 500 students were taught by his people, Su Chen would naturally not be afraid at all.

But alas, they are not.

What role will the Cui family play in this matter?
Aren’t you afraid that Li Shimin will settle all the new and old grudges and directly wipe out the Bo Ling lineage?
