Security at the mausoleum has been increased.
Apart from the person in charge, no one can get in now.
Half a month later, the Minister of Revenue impeached the person behind the leak of exam questions and the secret handling of candidates leaving the capital.
Emperor Junlan spoke directly: his entire family would be exiled; the perpetrators' crimes would be made public and they would be executed in the autumn; and any who resisted would be executed immediately.
Jin Mansion.
"Huh? Can I go back to take the exam now?"
Murong Jin sat down beside him and said, "Why not? You climbed up here on your own merits. You reap what you sow."
"Thank you, Madam."
Murong Jin: You're welcome.
Li Mingzhong arranged accommodations for all the candidates who came to Beijing for the imperial examinations, leaving no one out.
The announcement shocked many people, who never expected that someone would abuse their power to oppress ordinary citizens.
Fortunately, the investigation uncovered the truth.
"Exile of nine generations of relatives, oh dear, that's better now."
"Those involved in this matter will all be executed in the autumn. Those who commit evil deeds will be punished."
"Your Majesty is truly righteous."
"Your Majesty is mighty."
...
Ankerson: "I'm currently investigating the tomb."
Li Mingzhong: "I'm dealing with exam-related matters."
"I have absolutely no clue what to do."
Li Mingzhong: "After those few insect infestations are dealt with, I'll make normal arrangements here and just wait for the exam day. You keep searching for that tomb raider. It might not be just one, it could be many. We'll definitely find him."
An Kesen looked at the gloating on Li Mingzhong's face and said, "The Prime Minister seems quite happy."
"Nonsense, of course I'm happy. Now I can do my own thing without any worries. As for you, well, good luck."
Ankersen: "..."
Suburban villages.
Jin Si looked around, then his gaze fell on the direction of the tomb not far away.
People were assigned here, but as for the direction, Ankesen was given an ambiguous answer, leaving them to figure it out themselves.
Following the route, the final destination is the Valley of Divine Healers...
Starting the investigation from the Valley of Divine Physicians, the natural direction is towards Jiangnan.
The final identity check, of course, failed to uncover anything.
However, I must spread some news: in the Valley of Divine Healers, the Regent has been brought back to life...
Of course, as for why he survived, it was because when he was shot through the heart that day, the poison from the Gu worm gathered around his heart, and his heart quickly returned to normal, but there were still toxins in his body...
This recovery period will take some time, at least three months...
Although it sounds absurd, those who are favored by God will naturally not die easily.
This is the second rumor.
...
"Commander, we have news."
“In the village I visited last time, someone came back from out of town to visit his elderly father. The investigation revealed that he did see a strange person before he left the village.”
Upon hearing this, Ankerson exclaimed, "A strange person?"
"Yes, he said that when he went out to hunt in the middle of the night, he saw a figure that looked like it was carrying someone away."
A figure carrying someone away.
"He came from the direction of the tomb. He didn't pay much attention at the time, as he was focused on hunting. Only now that someone has asked him did he remember that there was such a thing."
Ankesen: "But did you find out which direction they went?"
Southeast direction.
Ankesen immediately arranged for people to investigate. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever, so naturally someone must have seen it by chance. Therefore, someone in that direction must know something.
For example, what kind of people came to town, what kind of inn they stayed at, and where they ate.
Ask them one by one, and you'll eventually uncover something fishy.
...
"Someone has already headed southeast."
Murong Jin put down her teacup. "Mm."
Then he looked at the little boy and asked, "Xiaoyu is at the pharmacy now. Do you want to go find her?"
"I'll postpone it; I have other things to do."
"Alright, don't forget the homework the teacher left behind."
Nan Fengyi nodded, "It's all done, now we're just waiting for the teacher to rearrange it."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Let Mother see my homework."
Nan Fengyi readily agreed, "Okay."
The questions above are all very simple questions, but there are also some questions about the philosophy of life.
"It seems the Master values you highly."
Nan Fengyi: "So, Mother, you can give Yi'er some advice."
You know, Mother is the Regent and Lady Jin. Even the tutor thinks Mother is very powerful.
With his mother's guidance, he will learn things quickly and gain a deep understanding of the underlying principles.
After reviewing some of the questions, Murong Jin marked them out for him, saying, "You can think about these more, or you can think about them from a different perspective, from the surface to the depths, and you can come up with ideas from all angles."
Nan Fengyi nodded. "What if I can't figure out the correct answer no matter how hard I try?"
Murong Jin: "Choose the answer that you are most certain of in your heart, and it may give you the right answer."
"OK."
Is the first step to guide people to think more about the issues?
Nan Fengyi said there was no problem, since getting the answer directly wasn't very fulfilling for someone who loves learning.
After staying in the capital for about a month, Murong Jin spent his days either fishing or recuperating.
"Madam, someone has ordered a large quantity of medicinal herbs, all of which are very precious."
Murong Jin: "Oh? Then just sell it."
