Chapter 169 He really starts with his cousin!

"Does this mean that it is outside the Tianwaitian Restaurant?"

"Great! Princess Sheng'an is such a kind-hearted person! No wonder she could become the first female official of our Tiansheng Dynasty!
If the court were filled with officials like Princess Sheng'an who were dedicated to serving the people, there would be no worries for the prosperity of our Tiansheng Dynasty!"

After Liu Renchang confirmed that all the test questions and solutions for the "Five-Year Simulation" section were free of charge and available to the public, cheers broke out in the inn.

On the other hand, there were the children of wealthy and prominent families who also learned about this matter.

The advantages brought by family background were wiped out a lot by Yun Shu's "broken book", so they naturally had a lot of resentment.

However, this matter had already been approved by Emperor Xuanwu, and no matter how unhappy they were, they had no way to stop it.
A group of people can only get together and angrily say some nonsense that has no effect.

Almost everyone in the capital was talking about this matter.

Soon, even the crown prince, who had not stepped out of the palace today, learned about this.

Unlike others who get angry when they learn that their interests have been damaged,
Although many of the families under the crown prince's faction were also affected, the crown prince's first reaction upon learning of this was to laugh heartily:

"In order to please her father and gain the support of those poor scholars, she really made a very stupid move!"

"I guess he was pushed into a corner."

The right minister also had a mocking smile on his lips:

"Your Highness, would you like to lend her a helping hand?"

"Of course I'll help!"

Ever since the Queen was sent to Longhua Temple, the Prince hasn't felt so happy for a long time.

His face was full of genuine smiles, but his eyes were filled with the viciousness of a hungry wolf:

"If everything goes well, perhaps our other arrangements won't even be used, and your good sister will kill herself first!"

"Then I, this old minister, would like to congratulate Your Highness first."

"Congratulations should be saved for when they are really needed."

Turning his head, the Crown Prince glanced at the calm and composed Right Prime Minister, and his smile deepened:

"Please be more careful, Grandfather. It would be a shame if we miss such a good opportunity."

"Your Highness, rest assured that this old minister will do his job."

……

Fengyang Palace had no idea that the fish they were about to hook had already appeared on the way to be hooked.

Yun Shu was petting the cat while listening to Ah Ku's report.

"Dou Jifei, a native of Xuzhou, ranked 37th in the provincial examination. It is unlikely that he will pass the imperial examination this year.

My parents own a steamed bun shop, and my three sisters are married. When I went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, I brought fifty taels of silver with me.

"Fifty taels?"

This is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family!

With that fifty taels of silver, Dou Jifei would not have to live in Keats Home.

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows:

"Was he robbed or stolen on his way to the capital?"

"nothing."

Ah Ku said in a serious tone:
"Dou Jifei arrived in Beijing seven days ago and stayed at Tongfu Inn on the first day.

That day, a servant who claimed to be a servant of Cao's mansion found Dou Jifei and said that he could get the imperial examination questions in advance and could buy them for only thirty taels of silver.

"Wait, Cao Mansion?"

Yun Shu sat up a little straighter:
"Which Cao Mansion?"

Ah Ku raised his eyes and chose the answer that Yun Shu could understand best.

"The former husband's family of Miss Tang."

Her cousin's former husband's family, that bastard Cao Wenbin's family! After helping her cousin escape from the Cao family, Yun Shu almost forgot about this family of bastards.

I didn't expect them to show up in front of her again at this time.
Yun Shu sneered:
"Have you confirmed it? Is that servant really from the Cao family?"

"Confirmed."

A Ku nodded:

"The servant claimed that he had an affair with Shaoyao, the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Tang family, and it was Shaoyao who told him that the young master of the Tang family could get the imperial examination questions in advance.

Dou Jifei did not believe it immediately, so the servant said that he had learned that the chief examiner of this year's spring examination would be the cousin of the young master of the Tang family, that is, Your Highness, and that this news would spread in a few days.

Dou Jifei was half-believing and half-doubting, and in order to save the thirty taels of silver, he moved to Keats Hospital.

Until the day before yesterday, when the news that you had become the chief examiner of the Spring Examination came out, Dou Jifei completely believed the servant's words and gave fifteen taels of silver as a deposit.

According to the investigation of the subordinates, in addition to Dou Jifei, there were thirteen other people who were found by the servant.

All of them were candidates who ranked relatively low in the provincial examinations."

"You're really the first one to start with my cousin."

Yun Shu sneered.
Her brother, the Crown Prince, really did not disappoint her. He started to lay out the plan early on. Since the Tang family was a solid block and it was impossible to infiltrate them, he started from the Cao Mansion in a roundabout way.
It was really hard for him, after going through so many twists and turns,
If she hadn't happened to meet Dou Jifei, it would have taken a lot of effort to find out the truth!

Is this her good luck?

Yun Shu lowered his eyes and scratched the kitten's chin, then curved his lower lip:
"Is there a list of those thirteen people?"

"Have."

Ah Ku directly handed over a written note:

"The name and place of origin are all on it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

As expected of a Dragon Shadow Guard, his working ability is so strong!

After putting away the note he had glanced at, Yun Shu gave Ah Ku a look, and after he disappeared, he called out:
"Listen to the snow!"

"The slave is here!"

Hearing her master's voice, Tingxue hurriedly trotted in from outside:
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Help me make a small cloth bag for it."

Yun Shu held up the confused cat in his hand:

"The imperial physician said that we can't let it run around recently, otherwise the injury won't heal.

Can you make a small cloth bag for it, and cut four holes so that its four legs can fit through and be fixed in place?

That way I can hang it up when I don’t have time to hold it.”

Tingxue: “…”

Being amused by her master's bizarre ideas, Tingxue reached out and took the kitten, saying helplessly:
"If Your Highness doesn't have time to hold it, why don't you just give it to me?

How can you hang a little cat in a cloth bag?"

"Aren't I just afraid that you don't want to hug me?"

Seeing Tingxue taking the cat and petting it, Yunshu sighed and stood up slowly:

“But now it seems that my worry is unnecessary.

Then I'll leave it to you to take care of it these days!"

"Your Highness, are you going out again?"

Seeing Yunshu walking out, Tingxue hurriedly tried to follow, but Yunshu waved his hand to stop her:
"It's nothing, no need to follow me, I'm just going to have a meal with my father and then I'll be back!"

Tingxue: “…”

Cat: “Meow~”
