“I don’t know if any other candidates are under threat yet, but right now, Chen Yu is definitely one of the most important pieces.”
Why?
"Because her talent is indeed outstanding, and now Zhongchendao has pulled off this stunt, with the Second Princess of Shuofeng, the daughter of the Northwest Frontier, and the talented woman of the capital."
Even if they had prepared other candidates beforehand, if they failed the exam, exposing the cheating wouldn't be very meaningful.
Given His Majesty's emphasis on the imperial examinations, ordinary methods would probably not even be enough to get him into the examination hall.
Even if you get in, if you don't pass the imperial examination, whether you cheated or not won't have much of an impact.
To achieve the desired effect, the candidate must first pass the imperial examination, and then the cheating must be exposed.
When so many talented women suddenly flood in, vying for a spot, the preparations made beforehand may not be enough.
"Now that I have been arrested by the Jingzhao Prefecture, under normal circumstances, my line of work would have been completely abandoned."
But now... it all depends on whether they can bear to part with Sister Yu.
If it can protect my family from harm, I'm willing to cooperate; perhaps we can reel in a big fish.
The reason he had just burst into manic laughter was because Wang Chong had figured this out.
The chance for survival for herself and her family had unexpectedly fallen on Sister Yu's shoulders.
"Is Chen Yu really as talented as you say?"
Wang Chong nodded. "Sister Yu is indeed talented, but it's also related to me."
To ensure the platform remained online, I repeatedly praised his knowledge, which guaranteed his place on the list.
Suddenly, he felt a gentle breeze behind his head, and then he promptly lost consciousness.
Dou Zhan turned and left the prison. "Sir," he said, "in my judgment, Wang Chong did not lie."
He was in charge of the prison and had interrogated too many prisoners to guess much about them at a glance.
Moreover, having now advanced to the Divine Martial Realm, his perception is so strong that he can see even the slightest changes in expressions and body language.
Judging from experience, Wang Chong did not lie just now.
Therefore, both of them are very important.
Wang Chong cannot afford to reveal any flaws; he must firmly adhere to the practice of lending money at exorbitant interest rates.
Chen Yu's fourth-grade realm might not be enough to guarantee safety; it's necessary to replace him with a Divine Martial realm cultivator.
Yin Zhe pondered for a few moments, then said, "In that case, you should go to Huichun Hall in Qinggefang and guard Chen Yu."
"yes!"
After Dou Zhan left, Yin Zhe quietly sent Wang Chong to an ordinary prison.
It's normal to take him to get treatment after he's been flogged a hundred times to prevent him from dying.
After all, according to the trial, there was still a lot of work to be done, including canceling contracts, returning houses, and getting money back.
Yin Zhe led Qin Zhaoyue to a deserted room.
With her strength, as long as the cell is within her perception range, her flying needles can reach it in the blink of an eye, so there's no need to guard it.
"What is Your Highness thinking about?"
Xiao Liu was unusually cooperative this time, but remained silent the entire time, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Qin Zhaoyue did not answer immediately.
After much thought, it seems that only aristocratic families have the motive and ability to secretly stir up trouble in Fengjing.
After a dozen or so breaths, he finally spoke:
"Let's assume that the people behind this are the four great families."
Let's put ourselves in their shoes. Why did His Majesty launch this attack at this time?
Qin Zhaoyue didn't wait for Yin Zhe's reply, or rather, she was organizing her thoughts on her own.
"It's nothing more than the imperial examination. His Majesty's patience with the suppression of women's participation in the imperial examination over the years has reached its limit."
Forcing talented women in the capital to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom did indeed pose a risk to their families, but was it really to an unbearable degree?
No, the key point is the word 'forced'. It's not that they sent the women to take the imperial examinations themselves; they were forced into it.
Even if the worst happens, we'll still have something to complain about.
Besides, the law doesn't punish everyone; there are already over a hundred people who have signed up for the supplementary recruitment, which is quite a force to be reckoned with.
"On the surface, His Majesty wants to separate the officials, families, and aristocratic clans in the capital, at least in the matter of women's imperial examinations."
Therefore, Dongcheng Garden is also reasonable, since it is the outpost of the four great families.
Disrupting their intelligence network makes it impossible to rebuild it in a short period of time.
This would both demonstrate our stance and yield tangible benefits, preventing any unforeseen problems during the provincial examinations.
"But the four leaders of Chengyuan are not weak. They took down the gang overnight and even uncovered so many human traffickers and loan sharks."
Ordinary government offices simply could not possess such power, which means the fate of the Xuanji Guard was already an open secret…
Qin Zhaoyue stopped there.
She had her left arm across her body, her right elbow propped up, and she kept rubbing her chin with her palm, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.
Yin Zhe tilted his head. Isn't all this just nonsense?
Anyone involved, or anyone with a discerning eye, could guess these things.
Why strike such a serious pose?
Just then, Qin Zhaoyue's expression suddenly turned serious, and she shook her head repeatedly, "No! Wrong, all wrong..."
Hidden in the darkness: ?
"Your Highness, could you please stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say?"
Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand and shouted, "Don't speak!"
Hidden Hibernation: ...
Thirteen Aunt's fist got a little hard.
Qin Zhaoyue thought it over again from the beginning, and after confirming that there were no problems, she spoke again: "It was indeed wrong."
She wasn't speaking in riddles; he was just thinking.
An older woman insisted on interrupting her, but thankfully her train of thought wasn't broken.
"Taking down Chengyuan and interrogating these people seems like a big move, but in the eyes of His Majesty and the aristocratic families, it is somewhat insufficient."
Who couldn't see that His Majesty had made a firm decision this time, orchestrated a grand scheme, and then chose to target Chengyuan as his first target?
