It was only when Bai Wei was about to go to the ground that he received the inside information and knew that Su Shun was going to investigate the suspected fraud case of Shuntian Prefecture's provincial examination today. As a result, Bai Wei was also a little nervous. After finishing the business in his hand, he hurriedly sent home and prepared to arrange and arrange the aftermath of this matter.

The more urgent the more troubles there were, the more troubles it was. When he hurried out of Donghua Gate, before the servants waiting outside the door came to greet him, Bai Zhongtang happened to meet Gui Lianggui Zhongtang, a senior secretary of Dongge who rarely suffered during this period. Bai Zhongtang, who had something to do, wanted to nod to each other and end the formalities, but he never thought that Gui Zhongtang was like taking the wrong medicine and kept pestering Bai Zhongtang. He also said that the opera troupe he had raised at home had a new show and he must invite Bai Zhongtang to his home to drink and listen to the opera.

Knowing that Gui Liang wanted to thank him for his support, he also wanted to develop a foreign aid of governors after Gui Liang took office as Huguang. If he could not refuse, Bai Zhongtang had to reluctantly nod and said, "Okay, after I go home to change my clothes, I will visit Gui Zhongtang's mansion."

When Gui Liang heard this, he was overjoyed and made an appointment with Bai Zhongtang to meet again and then said goodbye. Bai Xiaoze hurriedly got into his green sedan chair and urged the sedan chair owner to go home quickly. Fortunately, he did not delay the road. Bai Zhongtang returned to his home smoothly without much time. He immediately called his confidant family member Jin Xiang and asked, "The provincial examination has been reported. Are there any problems with you?"

"Please rest assured, you will be foolproof." Jin Xiang replied confidently: "I have said hello to those people long ago. If something really happens, they must keep my mouth shut. If anyone dares to say something randomly, he will have the whole family's head!"

"Don't talk so much!"

Bai Wei scolded him angrily and ordered: "Because you only started investigating this case today, hurry up and say hello to those who have contacted you. Even if you tell the truth about the matter on the imperial examination, you will never be pardoned. The least you will be sent to Ningguta for life and will not be able to return to the gates! If you don't want to go to the snow and freeze to death, you will close your mouth!"

Jin Xiang quickly agreed, but Bai Wei was still unwilling to rest assured. He lowered his voice and said, "Go and tell Pu An that the case was snatched by Su Shun's miscellaneous sacked. If you have any mistakes, you should say hello and call him quickly. If you think anyone is unreliable..."

Speaking of this, Bai Weibi drew a behead gesture. Jin Xiang understood it and hurriedly went to handle the mission. Bai Weibi called a few confidants and asked them to act on their own to find out the current progress of the case, and also to find out where the flaws were revealed and the news leaked, and who stabbed Emperor Xianfeng and Sushun's ears, and whether there were any other political enemies involved.

After all the things that should be explained and all the preparations were made, Bai Jue Bai Zhongtang was a little regretful, regretting that he could not withstand the temptation and stretched out his hand in this matter, but Bai Zhongtang was not particularly worried, because there were only two people who knew that Bai Zhongtang directly reached out in this matter, one was his confidant Jin Xiang, and the other was his best friend Uraya. Not only could they be bitten out by them, but it was easy to kill and silence him if he really came into a society where he had to do something.

"Damn it! No evidence, it depends on how Sushun can do me?!"

After cursing inwardly, Bai Zhongtang remembered that he was going to Guizhongtang Mansion to listen to the opera. Of course, Bai Zhongtang could not speak out without trust. In addition, Guizhongtang would definitely have a kind thanks. Bai Zhongtang did not waste time, so he immediately called a maid to serve him in changing clothes, changed into official uniforms and put on silk and satin, and then took a sedan chair to Guizhongtang's mansion as a guest.

When he arrived at Guizhongtang's mansion, it was already evening. What surprised Bai Zhongtang was that after being respectfully invited into the mansion by Guizhongtang, he saw that Prince Gong, who had been low-key for almost two years, was also here, and was still sitting in front of the stage waiting for the show to start. Bai Zhongtang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Guizhongtang personally helped Bai Zhongtang up with his own hands and said with a smile: "Baizhongtang, this is not a court. We are all guests here. There is no need to be so much polite, just be at will."

Bai Wei thanked him respectfully, and then took the seat at the invitation of Gui Zhongtang. He was also a little happy in his heart and said, "Okay, it seems that Prince Gong is preparing to set off a carriage this time. This is the best, and I will have more support."

Then of course, the show started. While the heavy makeup and the flower actress and martial artists were crying and howling, the wine and food were also placed in front of Guizi Liu, Gui Zhongtang and Bai Zhongtang early. What made Bai Zhongtang secretly admire was that although everyone knew what such a banquet meant, Gui Zi Liu, who was only twenty-five years old, was very cunning. However, how he talked and laughed and had a close relationship with Bai Zhongtang, he never mentioned a word or a sentence about Sushun during the banquet. Bai Zhongtang also knew it and deliberately did not mention Sushun, and was patiently waiting for Gui Zi Liu's tricks.

As expected, after several operas, I saw that it was getting dark. First, Gui Liangli invited Bai Zhongtang and Gui Zi Liu to stay overnight. Then, Gui Zi Liu used the excuse of the bright moonlight and invited Bai Zhongtang to walk in the back garden to enjoy the moon and wake up and sober up. Bai Zhongtang, who understood it, read the order happily. As a result, it was at this time that Gui Zi Liu could find out and began to express his dissatisfaction with Su Shun's abusing power in his words.

It is well known to the government and the government that the Japanese did not deal with it. Therefore, after the Japanese Sixth mentioned this topic, the Japanese were not polite and directly accused Sushun of being a traitor who harmed the country and the people, and a scum who bullied the Chinese and promoted the Han Dynasty. He also pointed out that because Sushun was too powerful and had too many ears and ears in the capital, it was extremely difficult to catch Sushun in the capital. Only by starting from the local governor who had close relationship with Sushun could you follow the clues and pull down Sushun.

Although Bai Wei did not say that he would start from the governor of the local area, Guizi Liu certainly knew who Bai Wei was talking about. At that moment, Guizi Liu smiled slightly and said, "Bai Zhongtang, you may have made some mistakes in this. In my opinion, no matter how Su Zhongtang bullies the whole country and the governors, among the local governors, none of them are his hard-core friends, including Wu Chaoyue, the most respected one of Su Zhongtang."

"What does Prince Gong mean?" Bai Wei asked in surprise.

The Japanese devil Liu smiled and suddenly said, "Wu Chaoyue couldn't find a backer before, so he was forced to lean on Suzhongtang. Although Suzhongtang was pretty good to him, he was very difficult to praise him because of his Han status and age and qualifications. This time, the governor of Huguang was absent. In fact, everyone knew that Wu Chaoyue was the most suitable person, but Suzhongtang still couldn't push Wu Chaoyue up. Wu Chaoyue said in his heart that he had no idea, and I'm afraid no one believed it."

"Prince Gong wants to seduce and force Wu Chaoyue to change the family?"

Bai Zhongtang immediately understood the implicit meaning of the Japanese Six. Just as he was about to discuss this possibility with Japanese Six, a Japanese Six's entourage came hurriedly and called Qian to Bai Zhongtang and said, "Report to Zhongtang, someone in your family is here, saying it is an urgent matter of 100,000. You must see you immediately, and insist on following..."

"Master, it's me, Jin Xiang. I have something urgent to see you. I'm so anxious!"

Before the Japanese Li's entourage finished speaking, a anxious shout from his confidant Jin Xiang came from outside the Yuemen Gate in the back garden. Bai Wei knew that there was a change and hurriedly ordered Jin Xiang to come in. As a result, after Jin Xiang was led in, he saluted Bai Zhongtang and beat Qian while secretly seeing the Japanese Lion and others beside him. Japanese Lion knew how to speak, and his entourage stepped back. Japanese Lion also found an excuse to leave temporarily, leaving Bai Wei to talk to Jin Xiang alone.

"Master, something big happened." Jin Xiang attached to Bai Wei's ear and whispered anxiously: "I heard the news that Su Zhongtang sent people to arrest two top juren suspected of fraud, and they all happened to be related to the slave."

Bai Wei's heart sank, but he still tried to calm down and whispered: "What are you afraid of? Didn't you say that people who have contact with you have a very reliable mouth?"

"Their mouths are definitely reliable." Jin Xiang said with a sad face: "But one of these two juren is Pingling, who has a problem with his identity. He is an actor and actor. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, he cannot participate in the imperial examination."

The actor who was not qualified to participate in the imperial examination passed the imperial examination and happened to be caught by his lord Sushun. Bai Zhongtang almost fainted when he heard this. He was furious and forgot where this place was. Bai Wei, who slapped Jin Xiang in the face and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Who told you to let the actors participate in the provincial examination?!"

"It's not a slave." Jin Xiang covered his face and shouted for justice, and said with a sad face: "It was Lord Pu who compiled the identity of a scholar for him, asked him to participate in the imperial examination, and asked the slave to change his exam paper. Lord Pu's explanation, would the slave dare not listen?"

Bai Zhongtang, who was extremely furious, kicked Jin Xiang with one kick and roared, "Pu'an, you bastard!"

In a rage, Bai Zhongtang's two roars were not only heard by the entourage of the Japanese sergeant, but also heard Bai Zhongtang's roar, when Gui Zi Liu was wondering, he was even more surprised to find that countless fires suddenly appeared outside the Gui Mansion Courtyard, and countless horse hooves and vague shouts, "Come around! You are not allowed to go out!"

"What happened?"

The Japanese Liu felt a deep heart. When he hurriedly returned to Bai Zhongtang, Bai Zhongtang, who had also found that something was wrong, had already pale and asked Japanese Liu with trembling: "Prince Gong, what happened? Is there an army surrounding Gui Zhongtang's mansion?"

"It should be." The Japanese nodded six times, frowned and said, "Why is this happening? What happened?"

After saying that, Guizi Liu subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhongtang, and was very suspicious, and he was extremely suspicious that this matter was related to Bai Zhongtang's roar just now. It was really a coincidence. So let alone Guizi Liu, even Bai Zhongtang himself was frightened and said to himself: "Can the messenger Sushun ask for confession? Ura An has already sold me?"

"Prince, something big happened! A team of imperial guards surrounded Gui Zhongtang's mansion and rushed in directly!"

The panic shouts from outside the courtyard completely shattered Bai Zhongtang's last psychological defense line, making Bai Zhongtang unable to help but kneel down to the Japanese Liu's knees, hugged Japanese Liu's thighs and cried loudly, "Prince, help me!"

"What happened?" The Japanese Sixth immediately determined that the incident was caused by Bai Zhongtang, and hurriedly said: "Let me tell me, what is it? Let me have a clear idea in my heart."

"This time, the slave was confused for a while and collected some money from the candidates. Today, I don't know who was stabbed to the emperor. Su Shun asked for an order to investigate and arrested two of the most critical witnesses..."

Knowing that time was urgent, Bai Wei quickly admitted that he had participated in the fraud of the imperial examination and begged the Japanese Six to plead for him. However, before Bai Wei finished speaking, a team of imperial guards wearing torches had already rushed into the back garden rudely. The leader was not someone else, but Jing Shou, the close friend of Sushun and the mortal leader of Bai Zhongtang, the Minister of Guards!

"I pay homage to the prince! Hey, Bai Zhongtang, why are you here too? Why are you still saluting Prince Gong?"

Not to mention, Jing Shou was really shocked when he saw Bai Zhongtang kneeling in front of the Japanese Liu with tears on his face. However, what made Jing Shou even more stunned was that after seeing his appearance, Bai Zhongtang stood up again, raised his head and said, "So fast speed and ruthless means. In order to capture my official, even the imperial guards were sent out! But Lord Jing, did the subordinates commit the crime of treason? Do you have to do it yourself?"

"What?"

Jing Shou was completely fainted, and Jin Xiang, the confidant of Baizhongtang, suddenly broke out loyally and jumped out and shouted: "Catch me! It has nothing to do with my master! My master knew nothing about the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination. It was all done by Pu An and I. The money given by the candidates was also collected by me alone!"

"What? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Jing Shou became even more dizzy. Bai Zhongtang and Gui Zi Liu vaguely felt that the situation was wrong. Gui Liang was dragged into the back garden under the ties of several imperial guards, struggling and shouting, "Mr. Jing, what crime did I commit? Why did I surround my mansion and why should I take me?"

"According to the order!"

Only then did Jing Shou show the golden arrow in his hand, and loudly expressed his true intention, saying: "The emperor ordered the commander of the guards, Jing Shou, immediately arrested Prince Gong Yixin and the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, Gui Liang, and escorted him to the inner court for trial! Impress this!"

After saying that, Jing Shou waved his hand and said loudly, "Prince, I'm sorry!"

Before he finished speaking, several imperial guards who were like wolves and tigers rushed up and held Guizi Liu, took out the yellow silk belt he brought with him and tied Guizi Liu a solid one. Guizi Liu and Guiliang were speechless together, and Bai Jue and Jin Xiang also sat on the ground. Then, Bai Zhongtang and Jin Xiang were extremely shocked and shouted: "Don't you catch us?"

"It's not really accusing you."

Jing Shou nodded honestly and asked with great curiosity: "But Baizhongtang, how could the officials be confused? Why did you kneel in front of Prince Gong just now, and it seemed that you were still crying? Also, you, the high servant, just now, were you shouting about the Shuntian Prefecture Country Examination, and the money you gave to Pu An and the candidates. What does this mean?"

Bai Zhongtang and Jin Xiang were stunned, and could not answer a word for a long time. Jing Shou quickly woke up and smiled and said, "Hurrying the rabbit, Bai Zhongtang, this time it seems that Xia Guan is lucky and will make double contributions. Here, I will take down this high servant from Bai Zhongtang for me!"

The guard agreed, and several more guards rushed over and took down Jin Xiang, who had already peed his crotch, while Bai Zhongtang was struggling to death and shouted: "Jingshou, why did you take my slave? What crime did he commit? What crime did you take?!"

"I have reason to be with Prince Gong at this time. I have the right to take it down! Including you, Bai Zhongtang!" Jing Shou replied arrogantly: "If you are not convinced by Bai Zhongtang, if you come to the emperor, just sue me for overstepping your power!"

"Participate in the rebellion?!"

Bai Zhongtang almost fainted, but even though he didn't faint, Bai Zhongtang was still with Gui Lianggui Zhongtang, who had been taken down on the other side, spitting out white bubbles at the corner of his mouth, and his mind was completely blank. Participating in the felonious crime of treason was not as simple as exile in Ningguta, Xinjiang!

"I'm a rebellion?" The Japanese Liu woke up and shouted wildly: "Who said I was rebellious? Who said I was rebellious? Where is the evidence? Where is the witness?"

"Your Majesty, please ask these questions when you see the emperor."

Jing Shou waved his hand with a smile, signaling the guards to take away the almost crazy Japanese devil Liu, and then said to Bai Wei with a smile: "Bai Zhongtang, the official advises you, it is best to follow me to enter the palace. Otherwise, based on the fact that you just knelt in front of Prince Gong, the official will have a reason to ask the guards to invite you into the palace directly."

Hearing Jing Shou's words, Bai Wei, who had three souls scared away the six souls, had no extra choice. He could only obediently follow Jing Shou to the palace to pay homage to Emperor Xianfeng under the surveillance of the guards. However, Gui Liang, Bai Wei and others were still scattered behind. When they came to the gate of the Forbidden City, their first reaction was that there were more than twice as many guards at night! Then, in the palace, the Jingyang Bell was ringing in the middle of the night, summoning all officials in Beijing to enter the palace overnight to hold a court meeting!

"Even Jingyang Bell has been knocked? Prince Gong, I've really been cheated to death by you this time!"

When Gui Liang and Bai Wei wailed at the same time, the Japanese Six themselves were completely stunned. The strange things that Jing Shou encountered during the arrest of the Japanese Six were also taken back to the palace by the imperial guards in advance and reported to Su Shun Su Zhongtang. As a result, Su Zhongtang, who hated Bai Zhongtang, was of course so happy that he jumped three feet high, rubbed his hands and laughed wildly...

"Little bastard, you are really my lucky star! Gong Laoliu and Bai Wei, the bastard, have just joined forces, and you will help me take them down at the same time. I can't even think about such a good luck!"
