Through the back door, Song Wuya smoothly entered the other courtyard.
King Jin was drinking tea in the garden of the other courtyard at the moment, obviously he had been waiting for Song Wuya for a while.
"Brother Song, don't come here without any problems!" Jin Wang immediately said to Song Wuya with a smile on his hands after seeing Song Wuya.
In King Jin's heart, Song Wuya obviously left a good impression.Otherwise, how could he be as polite as Song Wuya, a dignified prince.
"Song Wuya has met His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Song Wuya knew this, but he didn't dare to mess up the etiquette, so he quickly stepped forward and wanted to kneel down.
"No, no, come and sit." King Jin waved his hand with a smile, signaling Song Wuya to avoid this set of etiquette: "By the way, why don't you see Brother Bai with you?"
King Jin noticed that Song Wuya was the only one who came, and immediately asked about Bai Zhuo's whereabouts.
Song Wuya sat down in front of King Jin, and King Jin signaled the maid beside him to pour tea for Song Wuya.
"Brother Bai, I'm looking for clues." Song Wuya explained Bai Zhuo's whereabouts.
As soon as he said this, King Jin immediately frowned: "Oh? So, what kind of case did Brother Song encounter in this Jiangnan provincial capital? This king guesses that it may have something to do with Enke this time, right? "
"That's exactly what the prince said." Song Wuya nodded, "After coming here, at the gate of the city, I witnessed with my own eyes the city defense officers and soldiers accepting entry fees from the past. Not only that, but just now After settling down, I just rested for one night, and in the early morning of the next day, that is, yesterday morning, the officials of the provincial government office arrested more than 20 candidates one after another in a grandiose manner."
"There is such a thing?" Jin Wang was also surprised when he heard it. "It seems that the emperor's consideration is really prescient!"
King Jin sighed heavily, stood up leisurely, and stared into the distance.
"It seems that His Majesty also anticipated that there would be problems in this scientific examination." Song Wuya could easily hear from the King Jin's words that it was obvious that the purpose of his coming here was the Emperor's explanation.
King Jin nodded, and he was outspoken to Song Wuya.
"My king came here this time, one is for the southern tour, and the other is for this Enke. Because this Enke is the birthday of the Holy One, this scientific examination was held. Jiangnan has always been a place of talent. , Half of my court officials are from Jiangnan. Therefore, the Holy Majesty is very concerned about the scientific research in Jiangnan. If the court cannot choose talented people, then I am afraid that I will not be in the country for long."
King Jin knew this very well, and their royal family also knew how to stabilize the country.
Song Wuya nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is very true, and I also think so, so I paid special attention to Enke this time."
"Brother Song, you can go and investigate, but if there is any difficulty, I will do my best." King Jin patted Song Wuya on the shoulder, and handed over the burden to Song Wuya.
Song Wuya nodded, "Prince Jin, please rest assured, I will do my best."
"Okay, let's talk about these things later. You can tell me what happened in the provincial capital. Well, let's continue what I said just now." King Jin returned to the stone bench and sat down again.
After sitting down together, Song Wuya continued what he said just now: "Many people in this city have witnessed with their own eyes that they brought those cases into the prison, but I entered the prison yesterday and did not find these cases. Therefore, I suspect that they must have imprisoned Juzi in a secret place in the big prison. Maybe there is another layer of secret prison under this big prison. "
Seeing King Jin just nodded, Song Wuya went on to say: "I know that relying on my own ability, I'm afraid there is no way to rescue these cases, so I incited other cases in the city. The provincial government office is surrounded by water, and they are asking for someone from the government?"
"What?" King Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Brother Song, you are really capable. You actually instigated those officials to surround the government! Haha, you really have it. But you know, such an approach is tantamount to treason! Don't you be afraid of the provincial government and will Take all these moves together?"
"My lord was joking, and I know this. Otherwise, how dare I talk about my fourth-rank officials?" Song Wuya smiled slightly. He naturally knew this, but he was not afraid of it. I explained my own considerations to King Jin: "After all, they are just some examples, and the scientific examination is approaching now. No matter how much the provincial government doesn't consider it, he should also consider the results of Enke this time, right? When the rankings cannot be opened , this gang doesn’t even have a name, right?”
"It's really you, and what you said is right. They are just scholars, and they don't want to overthrow the ruling and opposition parties, but they just want to get a job. I think you also took advantage of their integrity as scholars to make them feel that there is something wrong with you." It is necessary to help those who have been arrested." Jin Wang smiled, he knew Song Wuya's intentions, and also knew the way Song Wuya did it.
Song Wuya nodded: "That's right, as you said, my lord, this is exactly my method. However, when I first came here, I don't think our lord of the provincial government seemed to be overwhelmed. He is now The prince is waiting outside the other courtyard."
"Let him wait, someone has already come to sue this king just now." King Jin waved his hand, as if he didn't care. "I heard that you have a question to ask me, why didn't you ask me?"
"It's true, the main reason for my visit this time is to ask King Jin about a few things." Song Wuya was about to talk about this matter, but he just laid the groundwork for these few questions.After all, he still doesn't know what King Jin is thinking. If he speaks out directly and makes King Jin unhappy, it won't do him any good.
But now it seems that Jin Wang is very concerned about this matter, and he is on his side, so Song Wuya has no worries.
"I want to ask the prince about the examiner this time, Zhu Yuanlong." Song Wuya asked the first question he wanted to ask.
This time Enke, the chief examiner is the most important thing. He can be said to be the lifeblood of the Jiangnan scientific examination. If he has a problem, then the Jiangnan scientific examination will be over.

"Zhu Yuanlong?" King Jin was a little puzzled after hearing this.He pondered for a while and then said: "I don't know this person very well. Brother Song must also understand this. Since ancient times, the royal family has not only a noble status, but the internal struggles are not something anyone can imagine. I have arrived. This king can have today's status, and it is definitely not because this king is the younger brother of the Holy One. This king knows it very well, so this king does not participate too much in the affairs of the court. He has never made friends with the ministers , It is true that I don’t know them well. However, Brother Huang said that Zhu Yuanlong was able to become the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Science Examination. Brother didn’t choose someone he trusts, that’s why I asked this king to come here to supervise, I’m afraid there is probably something wrong with Zhu Yuanlong.”
King Jin's explanation did not give Song Wuya any help.Song Wuya knew too little about Zhu Yuanlong, and Jin Wang also didn't know much about Zhu Yuanlong.
For this, Song Wuya had no choice but to let Zhu Yuanlong go.
"By the way, my lord. Have you ever heard of a man named Huang Haoshan?" Song Wuya thought about it, but still felt it was necessary to ask.
This Huang Haoshan always makes him feel very mysterious. After all, this person's temperament of conversation is by no means an ordinary person, but such a person is imprisoned in prison.And Huang Haoshan himself didn't explain everything about himself, and asked him to bring a sentence to another person.
"Huang Haoshan?" King Jin was taken aback for a moment, and after rolling his eyes a few times, his expression suddenly became serious. "Why did you ask this man?"
"I met this person yesterday, and he asked me to bring a message to another person. I guess this person may be related to the officialdom, so I asked the prince." Song Wuya saw the sudden change in King Jin's face, and his heart I feel that I have found the right person. Presumably this Huang Haoshan must have something to do with the officialdom, and King Jin's reaction is enough to show that he knows Huang Haoshan. "The prince seems to know this Huang Haoshan?"
"No, I don't know you."
What Song Wuya didn't expect was that King Jin denied it, but his performance just now clearly explained all this.
Song Wuya looked at King Jin in surprise, "Your lord seems to know him."
"No, I don't know you." King Jin actually denied this matter again, which made Song Wuya feel even more suspicious.
The conversation between the two had almost ended here, and they fell into silence.
Song Wuya was not in a hurry to leave, he looked at Jin Wang, but Jin Wang also looked worried.
After a long time, Song Wuya spoke again.
"This person is very strange. Although he asked me to bring a message to someone else, he didn't say that person's name. He insisted that as long as I saw that person, I would naturally know."
After waiting for a while, King Jin finally spoke.
"I didn't expect that he was still alive. This is really something that shouldn't be done." King Jin said such words as soon as he opened his mouth, which surprised Song Wuya.
King Jin's words have already explained everything, he knows this person, and this person must be related to an important matter.
Song Wuya didn't answer, and continued to talk while staring at King Jin.
"Hey! What this king said just now was not to fool Brother Song. This king really doesn't know this Huang Haoshan." Jin Wang obviously weighed it in his heart before he said these words to Song Wuya. "This king has only heard about that incident about him, and it has been many years now. Back then, this king and the emperor brother were just playing around like children, but now things are different."
"Then, can the prince tell me about this person?" Song Wuya was very curious about this Huang Haoshan. Hearing what King Jin said, he felt that the matter Huang Haoshan was involved in was probably very far away.
"The king knows who he asked you to bring the message to. That person is not the majesty you think, but the majesty and the queen mother of this king. Of course, this matter is a matter within my royal family, and it is not a scandal to say it." This Huang Haoshan was the prince's grand teacher in the palace back then, and was once the prince's teacher."
"Prince and grand master, so he is the teacher of the current sage?" Song Wuya was also surprised when he heard it, no wonder he felt that this person had an extraordinary bearing, so it turned out that this person was actually the prince and grand master.
Song Wuya's conjecture was denied by King Jin, who shook his head: "No. Even the current emperor, he has never seen this person before. Huang Haoshan is the prince and grand teacher before the emperor. I think you don't know. Before, my father had established a prince. This prince was born to Concubine Yu and our half-brother. Because of his childhood intelligence, he was chosen by his father as the prince. But he was opposed by the government and the public. After all, there is an old saying that the elders should not be established, the young should be established, and the concubine should not be established. Originally, this king was unwilling to talk to you about this matter, after all, this matter is related to the reputation of my royal family and the reputation of the previous emperor."
Unexpectedly, the matter took a detour, and it was such a matter. Only then did Song Wuya know why King Jin reacted so strongly just now.Not many people know about this Huang Haoshan, but the matters related to him are very important.
At this moment, King Jin paused, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he continued what he had just said.
