Chapter 758 What You See
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold. Wasn't this exactly the policy essay that Ouyang Song had asked his brother to answer today?
However, there are more test questions every year. Wouldn’t those people collude to find out the entire test questions so that they can give the most perfect answers?
No, it won't.
Shen Shuyi denied his guess again.
Because first of all, this is a matter of life and death, and secondly, even if most people do not have enough financial resources, it is difficult to know the answers to the entire paper.
But...if several people put their papers together, those who didn't get a good grade in the end would definitely feel unwilling and might even report and expose it secretly.
In this way, it is like dividing the spoils unequally.
Therefore, more people will not trust others. After all, once such things are known by others, even if they enter the officialdom in the future, it means that others will have a handle on them. How can they live in peace?
However, for most people, two hundred thousand taels in exchange for two words is worth it.
After all, even if there are only two questions, if you answer them well, you can still make up for the shortcomings and get a ranking.
"Have you checked Shen Jingan? How many jade tokens did he get?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Two. One was bought with the calligraphy and paintings that Qin Xuerong pawned, and the other was partially bought by the Qin family last year. Ouyang Song also made up the difference for him. However, he and Ouyang Song's son share the money." Jiang Li responded.
Shen Shuyi understood: "In this way, whether it is his son or his students who get good grades, it will be a hundred benefits for Ouyang Song, and in this way, the two families can be said to be tied together."
"Hasn't the owner of Jinglou been found yet?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"No, but Jinglou holds an auction on the first and fifteenth day of every month to convert items into silver."
When Shen Shuyi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is really a case of making money out of nothing, with huge profits.
No, it cannot be said to be getting something for nothing, because this is the money generated by power.
"Have you found out where the money went?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"The other party is doing it covertly. We didn't think in this direction before. Now Jiuchou is still watching them." Jiang Li said.
Shen Shuyi nodded: "It's hard work."
Jiang Li smiled: "How can it be hard to work for the young lady?"
Shen Shuyi looked at the smile on his face and was stunned for a moment. In such a long time, she had hardly seen Jiang Li smile.
Now, Xiao Heyu and the Lu family have been disgraced, and the Jiang family’s revenge has been avenged.
However, Lu Xiao is still on the run and has not been captured so far.
In addition, Emperor Qianwu never mentioned the annihilation of the entire Jiang family. In other words, even if the emperor knew that it was his fault, it would not be easy for him to admit this mistake to the world.
"Wait a little longer. The current situation is turbulent. When the matter is resolved, there will be wise ministers and generals who will write a letter to report the matter and vindicate the Jiang family." Shen Shuyi comforted Jiang Li softly.
"I understand." Jiang Li nodded.

Three days later, in Wang Taifu's mansion, Wang Taifu watched Shen Shuhan put down the last stroke with eyes full of amazement.
"Ming...Mingde? You...you are Mingde?" Tutor Wang couldn't believe it.
Shen Shuhan stood up and bowed to Master Wang: "I feel really guilty for bothering you several times before, so I dare not hide it anymore."
Tutor Wang stared at him for a long while but didn't say a word.
"Good! Great goodness!"
His son was a useless person in this life, but God gave him a good student!
"No, I have to report to His Majesty. His Majesty has been looking for you!" Tutor Wang was spinning around excitedly, holding a thick stack of policy papers.
Shen Shuhan said immediately: "Please stay, teacher."
"Oh?" Master Wang frowned in confusion.
Shen Shuhan said, "I used my teacher's help to win your majesty's recognition. I was just taking advantage of the situation. So I hope to win your majesty's respect with my real talent and knowledge in the autumn examination."
Master Wang was stunned, as if he had not expected him to think this way, and he just felt relieved.
"Good! Really good. No wonder you can write such articles and poems... I almost lost a good student! Princess Mingzhu has done a great favor to my Wang family!" Taifu Wang's eyes were moist.
Shen Shuhan smiled and said, "Please continue to hide my identity for me, teacher."
Wang Taifu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to report this matter to His Majesty first and explain the situation, so as to avoid being charged with deceiving the emperor..."
"Yes."
On that day, Taifu Wang hurried into the palace with a thick stack of essays and poems written by Shen Shuhan in his arms.
He looked so proud, as if Shen Shuhan was not a student he had just adopted, but his own son who had been lost for more than ten years!
After reading it, Emperor Qianwu was full of praise: "Really can't tell?"
Wang Taifu had a stern face, looking proud and determined: "I really can't. I promised him that I would inform His Majesty of his identity after he gets good results in the autumn examination."
Emperor Qianwu could not help but feel regretful, but he also knew that only in this way could Mingde win the support of the people when he served in the court in the future.
"Well, I'll wait a little longer." Emperor Qianwu sighed, as if thinking of something, and asked again: "Why didn't he take part in the preliminary examination this time?"
Wang Taifu paused and said, "He admits that he still lacks in his studies."
Emperor Qianwu: “…”

One day before the preliminary exam, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi were taking a walk in the mansion, talking about the leak of the exam questions related to Jinglou.
Jiang Li got him a list of the great scholars who had set the questions this time, and he was still checking it carefully.
Shen Shuyi was thinking, since Xie Jingchi was fine, maybe he would know more.
And in fact, this man did not disappoint her.
It seemed that nothing in the court could be hidden from his eyes. However, he was a man who did not like to act rashly when he had no chance of winning. Even if he acted, he would have an ulterior motive.
"So, Zhang Chengzhong and Shi Jingchen are not suspects." Shen Shuyi asked.
"Yeah." Xie Jingchi responded indifferently. He felt that other girls would mostly talk about love when they made appointments with him, but every time Shen Shuyi looked for him, it must be related to court affairs.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk more, Shen Shuyi stopped and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Shen Shuyi asked puzzledly.
Xie Jingchi asked: "You really don't regret giving up Xiao Tingshan?"
A woman like her, who is decisive and cares about the world, should be in that position so that her talent will not be wasted.
If I marry him, such an ambition may never be realized in my lifetime.
"What are you regretting? Is Lord Xie not as handsome as him, or not as powerful as him? Or not as two-faced, hypocritical and vicious as him?" Shen Shuyi looked straight at him and asked.
Xie Jingchi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his hands hung at his sides with his fingertips slightly curled.
He stared at Shen Shuyi, and said slowly in a low voice: "If one day you find that I am not what you think I am, what will you do?"
