The little girl from Dali Temple got promoted and made a fortune by solving crimes

Chapter 8 The Empress’ Grace
Jiang Sushang said "Wait for me" and left Dali Temple quickly.

Xie Yi did as she wished and entered the top three. She was the second female winner of the competition, and Lin Shengyuan was the third overall winner.

Everyone thanked the two of them one after another. When Jiang Sushang arrived, the three of them walked into the Qinzheng Hall and knelt down to thank the Holy Grace.

The female official lifted the curtain in front of the high seat, and the empress appeared in front of the three people.

The empress has a beautiful appearance, and her beauty is heavenly. Although she is over fifty, she is as well-kept as a teenage girl. Her white imperial uniform perfectly outlines her plump figure.

Seeing this familiar face, Jiang Sushang froze. The tall eunuch next to her was the fake eunuch who injured Beilu in the peach blossom forest that night.

Her memory is excellent and she cannot forget these two people.

Peony!

Why didn't she expect it to be Her Majesty the Empress?In the past, when Her Majesty the Empress was the late Emperor, the Empress said that she liked peonies, no matter how beautiful they were, but they could not compete with the national beauty of peonies.The secret rumor circulating in the palace is that the late queen was jealous of Zhaoyi's beauty and poisoned her.

The toxins accumulated on Zhaoyi's back, resembling a red birthmark. The late emperor took pity on Zhaoyi and personally painted a peony tattoo on her.

After the death of the late emperor, the prince ascended the throne and a year later abdicated to the empress. The empress still liked peonies but not peonies.

It was them!
"Jiang Zhuangyuan." The empress' voice brought Jiang Sushang back to his senses.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I saw Your Majesty for the first time and was astonished as a man of heaven. I broke the rules in front of the palace and I am aware of my sin."

Jiang Sushang had a bold idea, whether it was a fake eunuch looking for her whereabouts, but found that Xie Qingshu was the owner of the jade pendant, so he poisoned Xie Qingshu to death.

Fang Changliu's killing method was so perfect that he could have escaped discovery, but he let Lin Shengyuan see it and waited for Dali Temple to catch him.It can only mean that he had no choice but to expose his identity and plead guilty.

Once it comes to the royal…

"It's okay, I read your article, it's really wonderful. I hope you can fly ninety thousand miles in the future and do your best for the people of our great Zhou Dynasty."

"I respectfully obey the Holy Order."

"Xie Yi, you come from a poor family, and you study hard and are not inferior to other men. Bachelor Xie is your teacher, and you are the editor. Together with Bachelor Xie, you compile the mountain and river geography."

"Yes, I must do my best."

"Lin Shengyuan, you are considerate and considerate of my heart. You know that women are not easy. You have insight into worldly affairs. You can take care of the household affairs."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

The empress looked at Jiang Suchhang with a loving look on her face: "Jiang Wenkang is lucky to have a niece like you. After I think about it carefully, I will arrange errands for you!"

"I have a heartless request, and I hope your Majesty will agree to it."

"You said."

"I want to participate in the imperial examination pen and ink case."

"This case is really murderous and has been brought to justice. It is about to be concluded. Do you have any questions?" The empress changed the subject and said with a smile: "That's all, you are the first female champion in my court. I believe you are."

The three of them kowtowed again and then exited the Qinzheng Hall.

Lin Shengyuan congratulated Jiang Sushang and said: "Looking at your majesty's intention, Miss Jiang must be the young minister under Jiang Siqing."

My uncle once said that if she could be named on the gold medal list, he would ask Her Majesty the Empress to let her go to Dali Temple to investigate criminal cases. It happened that the young minister of Dali Temple returned home to beg for bones, and his position was still vacant.The uncle begged for mercy, thinking that Jiang Sushang was [-]% sure to become the Shaoqing.

"Compiled by Bu Buxie, Lin Shizhong, now I! I don't have any official position." Jiang Sushang said with a smile, this kind of thing has not been determined yet, everything is subject to change. "You have a bright future, and His Majesty will not treat you poorly." Xie Yi said.

In the Qinzheng Hall, the empress retreated, leaving only Wang Ze, the personal eunuch.

"I said that I wanted to keep her alive. How dare you go against my will? Wang Ze, I watched Qing Shu girl grow up. Even if she knew, she wouldn't talk nonsense."

"I just poisoned her, once a month. Xie Qingshu is the concubine of King Huainan, and the poisoning was just to keep her silent. Her death has nothing to do with me."

"It seems that Qingshu girl must have seen something else. Besides, Qingshu is gentle and quiet. She is definitely not as cunning as that woman. What's more, there is a master accompanying her? Who is that master?"

"I will find these two."

Jiang Sushang headed towards Dali Temple. Along the way, the government officials and guards congratulated her, as if she was already the appointed young minister of Dali Temple.

She entered the morgue and wanted to examine Xie Qingshu's body in detail, but was told by Uncle Qian that the body had been taken away by Bachelor Qian.

Jiang Sushang wanted to chase, but Uncle Qian held him back.

"To tell you the truth, this poison came from His Majesty's side, Wang Ze."

"So..." The real culprit was Wang Ze, and it was Her Majesty the Empress's wish to make Fang Changliu admit guilt that was not his.

"Wang Ze is the number one master in the field. He is so good at Qingfengxulai that no one can rival him. Moreover, he is a master of poisoning, but the poison is not fatal. Xie Qingshu's death was indeed caused by blunt force injuries. The bachelor also knows this. Yes, so the body was taken away."

"There is something fishy about this case and it cannot be settled so easily."

"This case involves your Majesty's personal eunuch. Your Excellency has to settle the case early. Your Majesty is kind and will never take Xie's life even if there is any disagreement. Moreover, Xie is the fiancée of King Huainan and was personally selected by His Majesty. . This Fang Changliu is harming people, and the evidence is complete. Don’t do it again..."

Jiang Sushang understood the implication of Uncle Qian's words. It was true that Fang Changliu had harmed people anyway. Even if there were some tricks in it, he could just pretend not to see it.

"My uncle said that the truth must be explained to the deceased. Besides, His Majesty agreed and allowed me to investigate again."

Jiang Sushang went to Dalao instead and met Fang Changliu.

Fang Changliu said with a smile: "I heard that you are the number one scholar, Miss Jiang, so happy and congratulations!"

"If Zhou Qiyan doesn't die, the number one scholar may not be me." Jiang Sushang deliberately mentioned Zhou Qiyan. The source of all this is Zhou Qiyan.

"Yes! Brother Zhou has the talent to be the number one scholar and the talent to manage the world and govern the people. If he doesn't die, he must be the number one scholar."

"The answer sheet that Zhou Qiyan answered is actually not a question paper written by the old master, but a real examination paper!" Jiang Sushang speculated.

There must be a bigger secret in the uncle's hasty closing of the case. If according to what Uncle Qian said, Xie Qingshu's death had nothing to do with Wang Ze's poison, then His Majesty would not be too secretive.

Then Fang Changliu must be hiding something?
Zhou Qiyan relies on his literary talents to make a living. He has never been fooled in this kind of test for many years, so there is nothing to be afraid of.It turned out that Zhou Qiyan had written poems and articles for others, so Fang Changliu should have known about it.

If Fang Changliu is angry, it must have a far-reaching impact.

If it is related to the general examination, then it must be a real question.

Someone asked Zhou Qiyan to answer real questions!

"Then I will tell you the truth." Fang Changliu put down the half-eaten meal in his hand, looked up at the light coming from the window on the high wall, and murmured: "Although the truth will eventually be buried, it will never be buried. Sleep underground forever.”
