Chapter 65 065 The girl who is my most trusted friend is the one I trust the most. …
What Xianyu didn't expect was that this time the Fourth Prince talked to her about serious matters.
Of course, he didn't talk about anything inappropriate last time, it's just that they didn't talk much at all - if I have to say, that time it really was an awkward conversation.
It was the kind of meaningless chat between strangers filled with tension and politeness, which bored Xianyu so much that she almost fell asleep on the spot.
Although I don't know what he is nervous about, the effect of this kind of conversation is really not very good.
This time, the Fourth Prince seemed much more relaxed, and what he was talking about was really serious business - serious matters related to his job.
This time, the Fourth Prince was looked at differently by Master Kang because of his meritorious service in investigating a case in Jiangnan last time. But unfortunately, the time was too short and the matter was too complicated, so he failed to investigate it thoroughly. It was like taking only the first step in a long march.
Master Kang was certainly not the kind of person who gave up easily, so he immediately organized such an imperial examination, trying to "lure the snake out of its hole" and see if there was anyone else who dared to cheat in the imperial examination under his nose.
Since the Fourth Prince has already found relevant clues in Jiangnan, it is obviously very appropriate to send him to follow the line in the capital.
Master Kang then assigned this task to the Fourth Prince, and he was very confident about it. The Fourth Prince did not disappoint him, but during the nine days of the imperial examination, he did find new clues.
But unfortunately, this clue was hidden too deeply. Although it vaguely pointed to several people, there was always a key link missing, and it could not be connected together no matter what. The Fourth Prince had always been a rigorous person and would not act blindly without evidence. So the matter was stuck there and he didn't know what to do.
In the past, he might have thought about it day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and had to find the key evidence.
He did this kind of thing quite often. Maybe it was because he stayed up too late, so he looked quite experienced and vengeful at a young age.
Originally, he should have done the same thing this time, analyzing various clues silently by himself like before, working day and night, and finally finding the truth.
But after hearing that the women of the Wang family were waiting in the private room of the restaurant outside the examination hall for the second son of the Wang family to come out of the exam and go home together, he suddenly had a different idea.
What would happen if I discussed this with Miss Wang Er?
Does she have any better ideas?
Although I have only met her four times and talked to her three times, I always feel that she has different ideas.
Once this thought appeared, it lingered in his mind and could not be shaken off.
The usually calm and rational Fourth Prince made the most impulsive decision of his life so far at this moment. He walked directly into the private room of the restaurant and asked the Second Miss Wang for a private chat.
Then after she agreed, he told her all the clues he had collected before, expecting her to give him a different answer.
He didn't know where his unreserved trust and dependence came from, but whenever he thought of her, he did it naturally.
Xianyu looked at the earnest look that the Fourth Prince gave her, and suddenly she felt like Alexander - No, brother, what do you mean by looking at me like that?
Are there flowers on my face?
Or is there a hole in your brain?
I am an ordinary person, not a god...
Xianyu listened to the Fourth Prince talking to her about a lot of things and felt dizzy. She seemed to be standing there dignified and serious, but in fact she had already started to daydream.
If she relies on herself, she certainly can't help the fourth uncle, but she has a system.
It's also a very proactive and insightful system.
As soon as Xianyu was distracted, System 003 had already taken the initiative to come online and began to push relevant information about the imperial examination cheating case to her.
It was only at this time that Xianyu discovered that the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, which was set in the Qing Dynasty, did not completely follow historical facts.
Or is it actually a true historical fact?
After all, other things are probably still in accordance with historical facts, but this time the imperial examination and this imperial examination fraud case
After all, historical records are only a corner of the real world and do not cover the whole picture. In addition to the major imperial examination cheating cases that shocked the whole country recorded in history, there may also be small-scale cases like this.
And who said the scale this time was small?
There were quite a few court officials involved, and if you look closely, it seems that there were a few who overlapped with the imperial examination cheating case that later shocked the country.
So, this time is a prelude to that time?
Are these masters testing the waters here?
Well, if they caught these people now, wouldn't it be a great success? At least it could save the fate of many students who studied hard but came from poor families and could not afford to bribe the examiners.
This is also considered a good thing.
But how can I tell the Fourth Prince about these things?
If it weren't for System 003, she wouldn't even be able to tell these people apart. After all, she didn't even recognize them, so how could she describe them?
When Xianyu was struggling with her feelings, the Fourth Prince suddenly stopped talking, obviously waiting for her to give an answer.
She had no choice but to speak up.
In fact, once you start talking, everything goes very smoothly.
Because now she is basically a ruthless repeating machine - basically, she relays whatever System 003 says to her to the Fourth Prince.
What does “technology changes life” mean?
That's it.
Thanks to System 003, she has a brain like an encyclopedia... Well, it feels pretty good.
So this is probably the reason why those time travelers like to show off so much.
Xianyu honestly relayed to Yinzhen the answer given by System 003. It turned out to be the latest intelligent AI interactive system, and the answer it gave seemed quite simple and clear.
Because Yinzhen's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment and even admiration. I have to say, this feeling is really good.
After all, he is the future emperor, the successor of the powerful "Emperor of the Ages" Master Kang, the father of Xiao Si, the link between the past and the future, and he bears the responsibilities of all the four uncles alone.
Xianyu silently gave Yinzhen a thumbs up in her heart and didn't notice that his body suddenly stiffened at this moment.
System 003 subconsciously shrank his consciousness into a corner - Great, a new person who can hear the voice of the heart has appeared, we are doomed...
At the same time, Yinzhen was listening attentively to Xianyu analyzing the clues he provided.
He was amazed that the second daughter of the Wang family could unravel and categorize such a pile of complicated clues, and then cleverly use the existing clues and new clues heard from somewhere to combine them together to reach the final conclusion.
This operation was like some kind of miracle. It made him suddenly enlightened and quickly found the core of the problem.
This time the imperial examination cheating case turned out to be just as he had guessed before, it was those few people who were behind it.
In the final analysis, it was all caused by the competition between the eldest prince and the crown prince for the position of crown prince.
Cheating in the imperial examinations was not only for the purpose of making money, but also for forming cliques and inserting one's own forces into the court to serve.
After hearing Xianyu say this fact, Yinzhen felt that he simply could not understand why the eldest prince was actually thinking about the position of crown prince.
All of us who have grown up know that the Crown Prince is deeply loved by the Emperor. No matter how other princes perform, it is useless because there is no possibility that the Emperor will depose him.
Just as Yinzhen was lamenting how people's hearts could change so easily and how the eldest prince actually had such ambitions.
He suddenly heard a pleasant female voice ringing in his mind.
[Emma! Is this something you can say? Fourth Master, please be more careful. You work so hard for your brother the Crown Prince every day, what are you trying to achieve? Don’t you know that the throne is actually yours in the end...]
