"Yes, Chen Qingxuan is knowledgeable and very famous in Ningguta. It is normal for Lord Fang to think highly of him." Jiang Jinwan said. He really didn't know why Zhong Mingzheng wanted to find out about such a sour scholar like Chen Qingxuan. He could only tell him everything he knew.
"Did Chen Qingxuan and the deposed prince have any connection in Ningguta?" Zhong Mingzheng asked, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.
"He and the deposed prince?" Jiang Jinwan was completely confused. How could these two people have any connection? Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the deposed prince lives in a dilapidated house halfway up the mountain in Ningguta, and Chen Qingxuan's private school is at the foot of the mountain. The two places are very close. As for whether they have any connection, I dare not say."
"Your Highness, they do have some connections!" Ling Shi'an frowned and said, "Perhaps the deposed prince sponsored Chen Qingxuan to come to the capital, and Chen Qingxuan is the deposed prince's accomplice!"
"He really came prepared. Maybe even Fang Zuotang is his man," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly, his face gloomy, "I underestimated a cripple like him."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Ling Shian asked.
Jiang Jinwan didn't understand what they were talking about, but he knew they were talking about the deposed prince. He was puzzled. Wasn't the deposed prince in Ningguta? Wasn't he a penniless commoner? How did he become Zhong Mingzheng's biggest concern?
"It's not easy to do anything under the Emperor's watchful eyes. Besides, aren't there the Imperial Guards guarding his house? So we can't act rashly," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly, "but it's different in Ningguta."
Ling Shian didn't quite understand: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."
"Jiang Jinwan, you will set off for Ningguta tomorrow and investigate for me all the whereabouts of the deposed crown prince in Ningguta over the past two years, as well as who he interacted with. I want to know everything," Zhong Mingzheng looked at Jiang Jinwan with a sullen face. "You can ask for any number of manpower you need, but this matter must be done well. If you dare to leak it out, or run away halfway, I can let you go today and catch you back tomorrow. Remember?"
"Yes, I obey your command!" Jiang Jinwan kowtowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I am willing to die for you!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you go on this trip in vain. If you do a good job and satisfy me, you will be the new commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard when I ascend the throne in the future. Do you understand?" Zhong Mingzheng looked at Jiang Jinwan and said slowly.
"Your Highness, I bow to thank you for your great kindness!" The next second, Jiang Jinwan kowtowed repeatedly in excitement.

April 15, 1934
Ningguta.
When the Xingbang list was posted, Chen Qingxuan was ranked first and became the champion of this session.
…
Kong Wenmin knew that Chen Qingxuan had made the list early on, and he was very happy for him. He wanted to go see him and congratulate him, but it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed. After much thought, he decided to buy Chen Qingxuan some clothes as a gift. Since someone gave him clothes, he could give one in return, which would make them even, and he would not be gossiped about by Mei Ya again.
A few days ago at the Prince of An's Mansion, Kong Wenmin was frightened by all the nonsense Mei Ya said. He had a good relationship with Chen Qingxuan, but what did this have to do with anything? Kong Wenmin thought it was funny, but at the same time he remembered what Fu Jiaheng had done along the way when he was returning to Zhili from Fu Jiaheng. Kong Wenmin immediately felt sick.
He felt that Mr. Fu was abnormal, very abnormal. His big eyes kept looking at him eagerly, and his two white and slender hands were always touching him intentionally or unintentionally. At the beginning, Kong Wenmin didn't notice it much, but he came to his senses after a few days.
