Chapter 459 Murder Case(1/2)

 “Husband!”

As soon as Yang Fan went to the Imperial College, Wu Meiniang ran over, followed by Xiao Shiyun and Wu Shun with excited expressions.

Yang Fan has been bored these days, and Wu Meiniang and the girls are waiting outside very anxiously.

Although Yang Fan was the Minister of Rites, many nobles always criticized this position as Yang Fan flattered the emperor.

What's more, the bet between Xu Zhang and Yang Fan and Yang Fan was spreading in Chang'an. Although he knew that Yang Fan never fought a war that was unsure, who knew if there would be a situation?

Soon, Xiao Shiyun asked the girls what they thought: "Husband, how is this exam?"

Yang Fan nodded: "It's okay!"

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was very excited: "I just saw that other candidates were very anxious, and I was still a little worried. Now my husband is calm and gentle, so I feel completely relieved!"

Helan Minyue, who was held by Wu Shun, immediately said frankly: "Minyue knew that her father was the most powerful, and she had told her mother and aunt not to worry!"

He hugged Helan Minyue and sipped her chubby face. Yang Fan quipped happily: "Minyue is still smart, but, how powerful your father is, your mother and aunt know the best!"

"Really? But why are my mother and aunt still so worried?" Helan Minyue looked at Wu Meiniang and the girls with naive expressions and asked.

Listening to Yang Fanyi's words, seeing Helan Minyue's serious appearance, Wu Meiniang and the pretty white faces rose red.

He spat in his heart and used the two-finger Zen magic technique one after another. Yang Fan was so bad!

Suddenly, Yang Fan was in pain and happiness.

Wu Meiniang and some girls smiled like flowers, Yang Fan was full of heroic figure, Helan Minyue was well-behaved and cute, and her warm appearance was envious to others.

Some candidates who didn’t know Wu Meiniang and some girls were stunned!

Such a beautiful woman is usually a rare blessing to meet one, but now she sees three of hers and can't help but stop to watch.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Meiniang and the girls were following a group of evil guards, it would be difficult to mess with. Maybe these pretentious candidates would have come forward to chat with each other long ago!

However, he became even more jealous of Yang Fan's Yanfu.

Some candidates who don’t know Yang Fan are even more talking about it.

"Who is that boy? How can he be favored by the three immortals?"

"Yes, maybe he is another playboy who is protected by his father's family."

"Well, that kid looks like an embroidered pillow. Why don't we ask him for one? As ours, the kid doesn't dare to refuse."

...

When these people were talking, some people who knew Yang Fan were shocked.

Even Yang Fan’s women dare to have ideas. Isn’t it that the old birthday boy who eats arsenic and seeks death?

You should know that Yang Fan dares to beat the prince for the sake of a woman. You aristocratic children who rely on their fathers are considered bad!

If I hadn't had a friendship with some of them, I would have been running away long ago.

So he bit the bullet and reminded him quickly: "Are you looking for death? Even the Marquis of Zhongyi dares to discuss it?"

After saying that, he turned around without looking back.

He has fulfilled his obligation to remind him. If these people don’t listen, it’s nothing to do with him.

The candidates who were plotting were stunned. Unexpectedly, this was Yang Fan, the Marquis of Zhongyi.

I actually wanted to seize food from a tiger's mouth. Isn't this asking for death?

Yang Fan is not only famous all over the world, but also a silly man!

Seeing that Yang Fan did not notice their spying, he quickly dispelled the little thought in his heart.

But when Yang Fan looked up at them, he was so scared that these people ran away like rabbits, which made Yang Fan inexplicable.

Just as Yang Fan wanted to go home and vent his grievances for several days, a mixed sound came from afar.

Subconsciously, I looked up and saw a group of people wearing official uniforms heading towards the Imperial College...

Some candidates who watched the fun also flocked back!

"Have you heard that something happened to the imperial examination this time!"

At this moment, some uninformed people immediately asked, "What happened?"

The man just said proudly: "This imperial examination is haunted, it is said that one of the candidates died!"

Some people retorted disapprovingly: "What's the point of killing a candidate? This time the exam is so difficult, will it be because I can't answer the question and have no shame to commit suicide when I see someone? What does this have to do with haunting?"

"Yes! The lightning and thundering on the second day of the exam were a bit scary, but it was just spring thunder. Can't contact the haunted one?" Someone immediately ordered to join the meeting.

The person who started the topic looked contemptuous: "You don't know this, right? According to Yu Zuo, the candidate died after the first day of the exam, but he just didn't find it."

"The candidate's test paper has been answered for three days. Isn't it a haunted one?"

"And neither the candidates nor the examiners next to them noticed that one person was missing. Do you think it's strange?"

At this time, someone asked another question: "Would someone have killed the candidate and deliberately forged the scene?"

Those who knew some gossip said confidently: "Although this is possible, it is impossible to do it, because the handwriting on the test paper was written by the dead candidate."

"If you want to do this, unless the candidates cooperate themselves, but who has the courage to joke about their own lives?"

"What's more, there are no suspects on the scene, they are simply a headless case."

The person next to him had a lit up and said excitedly: "Doesn't that mean that this imperial examination will be invalid?"

Many people asked in confusion, "What does it mean?"

The man immediately explained: "Since there is no murderer, it means that this matter was done by God. Perhaps even God can't stand this imperial examination reform, so he gave a warning."

All the candidates showed a sudden enlightenment.

Some students who did poorly took the exam immediately showed a happy expression.

As long as this incident is a warning from God, they can jointly petition and restore the previous imperial examination system.

Then will it be that the children of the aristocratic families have the final say?

Another asked: "I heard that the dead candidate was Yang Fan who made a bet with Zhongyi Hou. Do you think it was Xu Zhang who thought he had no chance of winning and committed suicide?"

Someone from the Ma Ren retorted: "Even he dares to commit suicide? Xu Zhang is like a woman. He doesn't dare to kill a chicken, but he still commits suicide? Don't joke."

"But that's what the rumor says!"

"Hmph, it's just that some people are unwilling to admit that this is a warning given by God to the reform of the imperial examination. However, it's useless to not admit it. The imperial envoy has already jointly requested the report. As long as no other reason is investigated, His Majesty will always give an explanation that the imperial examination reform must be suspended."

"If Your Majesty asked the Marquis of Zhongyi to investigate this case, would you think there would be a turning point? In the first case of the assassination of King Wu, no one else could do anything about it. Zhongyi Hou solved it in just a few days, which was incredible."

"Haha, you don't have to worry. Once Xu Zhang dies, Zhongyi Hou is the most suspicious. Do you think he can still lead the investigation of the case?"

"Yes, it seems that the imperial examination reform is the culprit..."

Everyone talked and talked, and they were talking in a lot of controversy.

Judging from what they meant, the imperial examination reform will definitely fail.

Wu Meiniang listened, her big eyes flashed, and she looked thoughtful, and looked at Yang Fan, sighed, "Husband, it seems that trouble is coming."

Xiao Shiyun also saw a hint of clue and asked, "Husband, in your opinion, will Your Majesty change his mind?"

Compared to the words of others, they are more willing to believe Yang Fan's judgment.

Hearing this, Yang Fan sighed, "I don't know. According to them, this is something they just discovered, and it has been rumored now. How could it be if no one pushes it later?"

Wu Meiniang comforted: "Husband, this case should have been sent to Dali Temple. It has nothing to do with you anyway, and it should have a result within a few days."

"As long as you find out the truth, some people can do nothing to stop the imperial examination reform! But once the truth cannot be found, no one can protect the imperial examination reform..."

After pausing, Wu Meiniang continued, "However, according to my opinion, this case has many doubts... Maybe this case itself has a big problem."

The more anxious some things are, the more clear the inside story of some things.

And someone said this just now, so there is basically a problem.

Didn't those people really see it just now?

Actually, it is not the case!

The reason why I didn't say it was just because the imperial examination reform touched their interests.

Just as he was about to say something, the eunuch in the palace came to pass the message, Yang Fan could only hurry up.

When we came to Tai Chi Hall, it was very lively. If we were arguing, it was the death of the candidate.

The hall is divided into two perspectives.

One is to support the identification of the cause of death of the candidates as soon as possible, and to give the society a statement.

Another is to say that the "God's Warning Theory" should be stopped immediately and the imperial examination reform should be held again at another time.

Seeing that some people were so anxious, and combined with the students who had just deliberately provoked the topic outside the Imperial College Prison, Yang Fan became more convinced that there must be hidden information about this matter.

So he quickly stepped forward and asked to report: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there must be something else wrong with this matter. Please allow me to investigate thoroughly."

His Majesty Li Er, who was forced to have no way out, was about to agree, but the censor on the side immediately objected: "Your Majesty, Zhongyi Hou and Xu Zhang have a small agreement to bet on the ground, and it is not advisable to participate in the investigation of this case."

"In addition, Your Majesty should set a time. If the results cannot be found within a few days, the previous imperial examination system should be restored and the students should be given a good examination environment."
To be continued...
