Shortly after Du Shaoqing left, Changsun Wuji entered the palace in a panic. The same one he held in his hand was also a purchased test question.

Li Er did not explain the plan in detail, but just said comfortingly, "I already know the matter, and I personally compare this item with the latest exam questions this year. It is not a real question. This is just a gimmick created by those who want to make money."

Huh... Changsun Wuji breathed a long sigh, as if he had let go of the hidden worries in his heart.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that such unscrupulous businessmen who sell test questions to deceive candidates in Beijing should investigate and deal with them immediately and bring them to justice and blame them."

Li Er said in surprise: "Auxiliary machine, this thing is clearly a fake test question. Who dares to sell real test questions? Could it be that you don't deceive the candidates and have to change it to real test questions?"

Changsun Wuji was choked and quickly explained: "Cough cough, Your Majesty misunderstood. What I mean is that such ill-gotten gains that make profits from candidates should not be made at all.

Countless candidates have poor backgrounds, and many people have been hungry and full before coming to Chang'an for the exam. They are not rich in themselves. These people actually sell this kind of thing. One will shake the candidates' beliefs, and the other will have extremely bad effects..."

Li Er pondered: "Well, what you said is reasonable.

Since that's the case, you are the chief examiner of this scientific examination, and this matter will be investigated and handled. The exam will begin soon, but there must be no trouble."

"Old minister accepts the order!" Changsun Wuji took his leave.

Something seems wrong. Didn’t Li Er agree to Du Shaoqing before and agree to use the test questions as bait to remove some unethical candidates? Why did Changsun Wuji strictly investigate it in a blink of an eye?

This is not to overturn the plan with Du Shaoqing, but to act realistically. Changsun Wuji attacks the behavior of selling test questions, which can make candidates believe in the authenticity of the test paper. So although no one dares to buy it on the surface, it will inevitably be even more robbed in secret.

The business of selling test questions cannot be cured at all.

The government office on this day was destined to be unable to calm down. The selling of test papers ignited the imperial officials. When everyone was paying attention to the scientific examination, someone dared to sell test questions in Chang'an?

Perhaps, this is exactly the conspiracy that someone wants to take the opportunity to overthrow Du Shaoqing, and takes the omission of the topic as the starting point to ruin Du Shaoqing's reputation.

Sure enough, the people coming this wave were all censors. They came to complain with the test questions, and the secrets of the imperial examination questions were leaked, so they must strictly investigate the criminals.

Li Er smiled faintly and pressed everyone down and raised the test paper on the table. "Don't panic, my dear friends, I have received the news. Du Aiqing also brought a real question for this year. Compared with the two, the authenticity is clearly distinguished. This is circulating on the market, which is made up by others and has nothing to do with this year's imperial examination. No one has disclosed the test questions, so don't care."

Oh? There is such a thing?

"Then why do these vendors claim that this is a true real question?" Someone asked without hesitation.

Others mocked, "Is this a waste of time? It must be the unscrupulous businessman who made money by making a fortune."

Puff, the man almost vomited blood before and cursed with hatred: "Damn it, you know, you dare to cheat me on my money like this, I must..."

"What's going to do? Could it be that you still hope that the real questions they are selling?" Li Er asked in a deep voice with his face pulled.

"Ah? No, that's not what the old minister said..." The man hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this time, someone suggested whether to pass on the real test, so that everyone can rest assured.

After this person said that, everyone gave in and left the person empty, looking at him like a fool.

Li Er's face was as deep as water, and he snorted coldly: "I have compared it, can you trust me?"

"Ah? I don't dare, I just..."

Li Er interrupted: "It's just what? The imperial examination questions are top secret. The fewer people know before the scientific examination, the better. Do you still want to pass it on? Do you want to take it out and leak it for profit? Or do you mean that your family has a junior who participates, and you want to help?"

The man was questioned and looked pale, and then he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Li Er took the opportunity to retreat everyone. Just after everyone retreated, he winked at the eunuch Lao Gao, who knew how to make arrangements in person.

Now that the wind has been released, this is a fake test question, the leaker will inevitably take action, and it is a great time to find out the spy.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji was also busy at this time. Changsun Wuji personally instructed the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Chang'an County Government to launch people at the same time to thoroughly investigate and arrest the unscrupulous merchants selling test papers. For a moment, the city was in a panic.

There are hawkers hiding everywhere, and candidates who are trembling and worried that they will be held accountable after buying the test questions, and more are the people who are watching the fun and discussing.

It didn't take long, and Changsun Wuji got two pieces of information in his hand, which went to the source of the vendor.

What surprised him was that there were two places? How could this be possible?

One place is the scalper under Du Shaoqing, which Changsun Wuji had known earlier.

The second thing that is puzzling is actually Cui Dunli of the Cui family of Boling, who is the current Minister of Personnel and who had a conflict with Xiao Xuanxuan in the exam room before.

Did the Boling Cui family join forces with the Du family? I haven’t heard of it, what’s going on?

Who is Cui Dunli? Will he like this little money?

But the problem is that the test questions sold by the two companies are exactly the same, and they are obviously of the same origin. Apart from being a cooperative relationship, there is no other possibility.

"The person who comes, regardless of his identity, as long as it is evidence that they participated in the sale, they will be taken to trial." Changsun Wuji ordered loudly.

However, he didn't expect that this was a coincidence. The two gangs sold the same things, because they all got real questions. Of course, they had to sell the same things, but it was not agreed in advance.

As for the real questions, Changsun Wuji was not the questioner. He had never seen the real questions before, but he knew from the emperor that the market was fake.

Now both companies are selling fakes, so it is hard to guess that they are not in a cooperative relationship.

An hour later, the eunuch Lao Gao came to report and the spy caught it.

After surveillance, it was discovered that it was a clerk in the royal printing workshop. After being arrested, it was questioned. It was surprising that it was Cui Dunli, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

Li Er was silent for a moment and asked Lao Gao: "Is it Cui Dunli personally, or the Boling Cui family behind him?"

The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "At present, it is Mr. Cui himself."

"What about the motivation for acting? He would not know that this is the blame for beheading."

Lao Gao pondered: "The motive is unknown. Lao Nu guessed that it might be related to the matter in the hall a few days ago. Mr. Cui's son was beaten by the little princess, and was embarrassed in public. He was disqualified from the reference. He held a grudge and took revenge on his son-in-law."

With a long sigh, Li Er sighed: "Cui Dunli and I have been together for a long time, how could he make such a short-sighted mistake? It is different from his usual cautious style."

Lao Gao said: "I am just a guess, but it is not uncommon to be a parent and a child."

"Hmph, forgot, no matter what the reason, since it was done by him, he couldn't escape if he deserved responsibility.

Go directly to get the person and bring it here. I want to ask him personally what he is thinking about and dares to destroy the scientific research like this?" Li Er said angrily.

On the other hand, Wu Zhao was also looking at the information in the Du family mansion, and his fingers kept beating rhythmically on the table.

"The scalper's family has not seen anyone in and out for many days, which means that his family is not here. He is either returning to his hometown to take refuge or... being kidnapped?" Wu Zhao calculated.

She did not make a judgment immediately, but instead thought from the perspective of others. If she was the one who threatened the scalper to do this to cheat Du Shaoqing, what would be the safest way to do it?

Are kidnappings? Not necessarily, kidnappings may not be the optimal solution.

The problem now is that he is not sure of the scalper’s position. Judging from the scalper’s performance, he is loyal to Du Shaoqing and never thought of harming his boss. He seemed to be kept in the dark.

At the same time, he was threatened not to leak the secret. This is very contradictory. If the other party tells the scalper directly that it is fake, then what can I hide from Du Shaoqing? I will not delay the transaction if I say it.

He tied up the scalper's little boy and asked him to sell the test questions. Now everyone in Chang'an knows that it was not Du Shaoqing who leaked the secrets through the scalper?

It seems that Du Shaoqing can't be killed? This is a bit of a pediatrician. The other party has worked so hard, but it is not so brainless.

"No, the other party wants to kill someone to silence him!" Wu Zhao exclaimed and rushed out of the door and headed straight for Changlefang.

After killing the scalper, the investigation of the leaked matter was terminated here. The test questions came from here. Where did the scalper come from? He is from the Du family, and there is no other source. Mr. Du can't clean it up.

As Wu Zhao speculated, the other party did plan to kill people and silence them, and he took action directly and openly at the headquarters of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce in Changlefang.

But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Perhaps the fate of a scalper should not be achieved. Di Renjie appeared at the Du Family Chamber of Commerce at the right time.

Of course, this kid did not come to save the scalper, but since Du Shaoqing explained in the clinic whether the test paper was fake, Di Renjie still had doubts. He always felt that his master was perfunctory.

But since the master did not point it out, there was a reason, and the disciple did not ask too much.

A natural curiosity made him want to find out the truth, so he took the initiative to come to the Chamber of Commerce and found the scalper, the seller, and found the source of goods, and basically found the truth.

But as soon as he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, Di Renjie saw a thrilling scene. Three warriors dressed in the Chamber of Commerce were chasing the scalpers.

The scalper was suddenly stabbed in the abdomen, and it was so hungry that it was not fatal, so he struggled to escape. He never expected that there would be spies inside the Chamber of Commerce.

"Who are you? How dare you intervene in the Chamber of Commerce to commit crimes..." Huangniu screamed.

"The surname of Huang is just a blame that you know too much. You can only let you serve as a scapegoat for Prince Du." One of them mocked.

Seeing that the scalper was about to die, Di Renjie did not do anything, blocked the attack in three moves and two moves, knocking down the three of them to save the scalper.

"Huh... Master Di, I'm so happy to save my life, Lao Huang..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and fainted due to his serious injury.

"Hey, you're a little late to die. At least you can see what these souls are from." Di Renjie complained and walked towards the scalper.

Seeing the three people on the ground, they were knocked unconscious by themselves and still needed to be interrogated, Di Renjie shouted: "Erhu, where are the Erhu? Come and save people..."

The other party’s choice was very good, and he had a special plan. Erhu was not there, so it would be difficult if he was afraid that he wanted to kill the scalper.

Soon Erhu ran back panting, "What's going on? Huaiying, are you here? The damn chamber of commerce guards broke their heads in a fight, making me angry...

What's going on?

Damn, the scalper was killed? Who did it?"

Di Renjie slapped his forehead and realized instantly that this was a plan that he had been transferred from the mountain to kill the scalpers.

"You are not dead yet, these three are the murderers. You can immediately send your confidants to arrest them and tie them up. You must not make any mistakes when you take them in person.

I will take the scalper back to the clinic for first aid and wait for me to come back to interrogate the three people.

You have to be careful, the Chamber of Commerce has mixed with spies and assassins.”

What??? Erhu stood there on the spot, spy? Assassin?

Ignoring Erhu's surprise, Di Renjie picked up the scalper and strode out. Before leaving, he said to Erhu: "If you feel unsafe and afraid of death, escort these three guys back to the clinic with me to hide."
