The Regent's Tender Darling

Lin Jiaojiao frowned: "Based on Prince Duan's connections, it's impossible for all of these people to belong to Prince Duan. The most puzzling thing is that they and Prince Duan's people were able to hide the exam questions from Prince An together." "Go out, there must be someone else behind this."

After saying all this, Yan Sihan listened quietly. After making sure that the girl had finished speaking, he said: "The students involved in the imperial examination fraud case have committed suicide in Dali Temple jail."

"What?"

In an instant, Lin Jiaojiao's expression changed from thoughtful to shocked, and she almost froze.

Just over an hour ago, she went to see those students in the prison. How could this...

Recalling that at that time, although those students were tortured in prison until they looked like no students, and they all looked bad, they all had a strong desire to survive.

It is impossible for such a person to commit suicide in fear of crime so easily.

What's more, although cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime, it is not as serious as Shen Yeting's charge of impersonation, and it will not lead to the death penalty.

"Your Majesty! It's impossible to commit suicide out of fear of crime!" she said urgently.

However, when Yan Sihan explained to her the decree issued by the young emperor and the final sentence on these students to be punished after the fall, she suddenly felt that there was no problem on the surface.

But there is an old saying that it is better to live than to die. These students are not strong-willed and upright people. They are all afraid of death. If they can survive until autumn, how can they choose to die now?

When she was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door.

After Yan Sihan agreed to allow people from outside to come in, a shadow guard walked in, saluted and reported directly: "Your Majesty, the examiner who leaked the question was transferred from the Internal Security Department to Dali Temple and committed suicide after half a stick of incense."

Lin Jiaojiao stood up directly, with a look of disbelief on her face and shuddering even more.

Commit suicide out of fear of crime... Ha! It’s really seamless!

The shadow guard reported and left the study immediately. Lin Jiaojiao stood stunned. Yan Sihan lowered his eyelids and held the Jade Bone Bamboo Fan slightly tightly.

But he was too busy and neglected the case.

Originally, the case of imperial examination fraud had been investigated and closed, and there were no problems in either the files or the confessions. But now, it turns out that everyone involved in the case has committed suicide in fear of guilt.

You don’t have to think about it to know that this matter is not over yet.

"Yan Sihan, I went to Dali Temple with Shiyi today."

The little girl suddenly spoke, and he came back to his senses. After seeing the self-blame on the little girl's face, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

He said: "That's right. I think they discovered you, so they rushed to kill you and silence you."

Then he expressed relief: "Be good, it's not your fault. If you hadn't gone, I wouldn't have noticed that there was anything wrong with this case."

"Don't go out of the capital these days, and try to go out as little as possible."

But Lin Jiaojiao was lost in thought, and she didn't know if she was listening.

"Yan Sihan, these people... are most likely people from Taiping Dao!" Lin Jiaojiao said suddenly, as if she suddenly woke up.

Then he continued: "Originally, this case was closed, but now it is almost the same as the incident at the labor camp of the Ministry of Industry and the massacre of the Lin'an government office!"

She continued: "The person who leaked the story to Zhongshu Sheng is probably... from Taiping Dao!"

Taiping Dao... What exactly is Taiping Dao? Is it really Taiping Taoist Zhang Sheng?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Nowadays, it is not known who the Taipingdao people are in the court and what positions they are in.

She had never heard of Taiping Dao before. Was it different in this life, or had she discovered it?

I felt depressed in my heart, and I was a little out of breath for a while.
