Chapter 322

After the words fell, a jailer brought a clamp stick and a lot of other instruments of torture that Duan Zhao couldn't even name.

By the looks of it, I'm going to give him one by one.

The jailer was about to put a stick on his hand, Duan Zhao showed no fear, but raised his hand to stop him: "Please slow down, this servant, and allow me to have a word with this lord."

Probably Duan Zhao's reaction was too calm, or maybe seeing his extraordinary bearing, the jailer actually stopped his hand, and turned to look at Chen Si uncertainly.

Chen Si nodded.

The jailer withdrew his hand and stepped aside to stand still.

Duan Zhao looked at Chen Si with clear eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Has the Metropolitan Procuratorate always handled cases under torture?"

Hearing this, Chen Si was shocked.

He said in his heart that I didn't report my family name, how did he know that I was from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
Chen Si looked at Duan Zhao suspiciously, and saw that he was so graceful and bright, like a jade tree facing the wind, he couldn't help feeling more suspicious in his heart, secretly thinking that this young master Duan is not like the idiot that Lu Jing, Minister of Rites, said.

He went to see Lu Jing before, and what Lu Jing said inside and outside the words reminded him to use Duan Zhao as a breakthrough point.

He also meant it.

After all, everyone knows that the eldest son of the Duan family has a bad brain, but he still passed the exam, so it looks like he cheated.

But as the saying goes, "Being famous is worse than meeting", now seeing Duan Zhao himself, Chen Si couldn't help feeling that the rumors might be wrong.

He had read Duan Zhao's test paper, and there was absolutely no mistake in the answer. Needless to say, what is worth noting is that the paper is neat, the handwriting is correct, and the handwriting is extremely fine.

They all say that their words are like their own, and it seems that it is so.

After only meeting each other once, Chen Si began to change his view of Duan Zhao.

He suddenly changed his serious look, and smiled at Duan Zhao with a relaxed expression: "Your Majesty Duan knew that I was from the Metropolitan Procuratorate before I reported to my family. I presumably guessed that the matter of favoritism and fraud in the examination room has nothing to do with human life. Your Majesty does not care." Let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple intervene."

"grown ups……"

"Young master's quick thinking, I admire, admire." Chen Si's eyes were full of approval.

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I will know that you are from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because the Jinwu Guard once said when he came to the door, His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate this case strictly."

"..." It's a bit embarrassing.

Taking a glance at the jailer next to him who was secretly laughing, Chen Si slapped the table: "Get out!"

The jailer was very aggrieved: "...Yes."

When there were no other people in the torture room, Chen Si just said again: "I just mentioned the matter of going to prison just to test you, and everything is for the investigation of the case. I hope you don't blame Mr. Duan."

"My lord's responsibility lies, so why talk about complaints."

"Thank you, Mr. Duan, for your understanding."

As an envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who has been an official for many years, Chen Si's attitude can be said to be extremely low.

Duan Zhao seemed to vaguely see the shadow of his third uncle in him.

old!lick!dog!
The facts are indeed quite similar.

If there is a stereotype of the envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the eyes of the world, it should be that he is upright and upright, but neither of these two seems to have anything to do with this Mr. Chen.

He smiled a little when he saw people, and he was always polite to people regardless of his rank or rank, which gave people the illusion that he had a very good relationship with him.

But if anyone commits a crime in his hands, he will take a bite and bite to death without letting go.

But it is true that the law is enforced impartially, and it does not add insult to injury.

In addition, as long as the convenience of the bank has nothing to do with the overall situation, he will turn a blind eye to it.

Just like interrogating Duan Zhao today.

In fact, he didn't ask Fu Yunmo's consent in advance, but he was worried that Fu Yunmo would cover up Duan Zhao as Yu Shi Zhou Fu said, so he came first quietly.

He came, but he didn't intend to torture Duan Zhao, but to frighten him.

If Duan Zhao is stupid or bloodless, he is afraid that his feet will soften as soon as he enters the torture room, and he will confess everything, so there is no need to go to the torture room.

But the fact is that Duan Zhao is calm and composed, answers fluently, and is neither stupid nor ugly, so torture cannot be used.

In case nothing was found out in the end, Duan Zhao went back and told the Crown Princess, if the Crown Princess blows the pillow wind to His Royal Highness, it will turn the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate upside down.

"Among these dozens of Jie Yuan, is there anyone who is familiar with Mr. Duan?"

"Have."

"Write down their names." After Chen Si finished speaking, he handed over the paper and pen.

Duan Zhao took it and wrote the names of Song Shuyun and Nan Lu.

"We date each other on a daily basis, do you think you can get Jie Yuan in the exam based on their talents?"

"nature."

"Among the other people who passed the exam, is there anyone who Mr. Duan thinks is unworthy?"

"I don't have any personal acquaintances, so I don't know how talented they are, so I'm afraid I won't be able to answer your lord's question."

"……clear."

Chen Sixin said that rumors are just rumors, and his grandma's score is not reliable at all!The uncle of the crown prince is not just stupid, he is so smart that he is about to become a genius!

I can't get it out of a single sentence.

In desperation, Chen Si had no choice but to let him go back, but he was locked up separately to prevent him from colluding with people who were not interrogated.

Next, he interrogated those students one by one, and the conversation was nothing more than the questions he had just asked Duan Zhao.

After the questioning, those who felt no suspicion were locked together with Duan Zhao, and those who had suspicions were locked in another place, gradually turning the situation of chickens and rabbits in the same cage into a situation of chickens and rabbits in separate cages.

After this round of asking, don't say it, it's really rewarding.

Several scholars were frightened to pee as soon as they entered the torture room, some were still struggling, and three directly confessed that they spent money to buy the test questions.

Chen Si further asked who bought them from, but the result was not bad, and got three answers.

One said it was Lu Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, another said it was Duan Hui, Minister of Rites, and the third said it was Buhong, the third master of Wu'anhoufu.

Chen Si was not surprised to get the exact answer from several people.

The matter of buying and selling test questions is unusual. If the officials of the DPRK and China did not come forward in person, and only rely on the servants to pass them along, no one would dare to hand over the money in their hands rashly.

You have to meet people, know the whereabouts of the money, and hold each other's handles to be at ease.

Once the sale and purchase of examination questions is completed, both parties are like grasshoppers tied to a rope.

Therefore, when the two students opened their mouths to talk about the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Si nodded thoughtfully, quite calmly.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the Marquis of Wu'an was also involved in this matter.

But he couldn't figure it out, Marquis Wu An's presence in the court was relatively low, how did his younger brother have the ability to get the exam questions?
If you can't figure it out, check it out.

This investigation was incredible, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud made Chen Si discover that Lu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Bu Hong, the third master of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, had had a close relationship in private.

The servants of the two have a close relationship, apparently at the master's instruction.

Buhong spent a lot of money to buy the jade ball that he was playing with, and then it appeared in Lu Jing's hands inexplicably.

There are also various ornaments, so there is no need to repeat them one by one.

In short, of all the things that should appear in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, one or two always went to Shangshu's Mansion.

Chen Si hurriedly reported the matter to Fu Yunmo.

As the behind-the-scenes planner of all this, Fu Yunmo naturally didn't react when he heard it. He took a sip of tea slowly and said softly: "If you take someone, if you dare to resist, you will be shot."

Chen Si was startled: "...Yes."

He was afraid of leaking the news, so he didn't delay, and took people straight to Wu'anhou's mansion after leaving the East Palace.

Lu Jing needless to say.

The test questions revealed that he was originally one of the suspects and had been locked up earlier to wait for the truth to be found out.

He couldn't figure out why this matter had been exposed.

He sold the test questions to earn some money, but he didn't get so greedy that he sold dozens of copies at once. How could the results be so exaggerated?

Ren Lu Jing thought about it, but he couldn't think that he was not greedy enough to sell dozens of copies, but a certain prince was greedy to that extent.

Fortunately in the misfortune, Lu Jing told the scholar when he was selling the questions that day, if the matter was exposed, he would push the matter to Duan Hui, and he would definitely find a way to save his life afterwards.

Otherwise, if the other party involved him, the result would be that both of them died together.

He believed that the scholar knew what to do as long as he was not stupid.

Lu Jing thought that he would be released after a while, but in the end it was Emperor Jing Wen who wanted to interrogate him himself.

And just at this time, Song Shuyun suddenly revealed that the current His Royal Highness Fu Yunsheng secretly sold exam questions, causing the scientific exam to become a mess, causing great waves in one fell swoop!
