Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

After a long time, Chang Sun Chong gritted his teeth and said.

Changsun Wuji raised his head slowly, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you not reconciled?"

"You are the chief examiner of the imperial examination, yet you let Zhang Dun be the number one scholar!" Chang Sun Chong took a deep breath and said, "My child is not reconciled!"

In his opinion, anyone who took part in the imperial examination this time could be the No. [-] scholar, except Zhang Dun!

Because the chief examiner is Changsun Wuji!

My father!

He clearly knew the relationship between Zhang Dun and Princess Changle, but in the end he still wanted Zhang Dun to be the champion. How did he become the chief examiner? !

Actually helping outsiders but not insiders!

Changsun Wuji frowned, and said: "Then you deserve it! If you have Zhang Dun's talent, why would you choose him as the number one scholar for your father?"

Chang Sun Chong said angrily: "But father, you are the chief examiner!"

"So what if you're the chief examiner?" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, and said, "You think the chief examiner can do whatever he wants?"

"Your Majesty has sent Chu Suiliang as an adjutant to Weifu, just to keep an eye on him."

"Except for the five exam papers of Zhang Dun's exam, the colleagues in the Ministry of Officials are all convinced. What do you ask Weifu to do?"

"For my father, I can only make a fuss about Zhang Dunkao's Mingjing test paper. What happened? I ran to His Majesty, and His Majesty took out Zhang Dunkao's Mingjing test paper. What else can I say?"

"What's more, the one who ordered Zhang Dun to be the number one scholar is not for his father, but for His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji became more and more angry as he spoke, he slapped the table heavily with his palm, and said angrily: "If you are not willing, I will bring you into the palace for my father, and you can say it in front of His Majesty!"

Chang Sun Chong choked, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Why, don't you dare?" Changsun Wuji glared at him, "If you don't dare, just hold back!"

Du Yan suddenly said, "Brother Changsun, what is your rivalry with a junior? What does he know?"

Changsun Wuji turned his head to look at him, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Du, do you know what I want to say when I invite you to my humble house today?"

Du Yan pondered: "Is it related to Zhang Dun?"

Changsun Wuji hummed, "Your Majesty asked him to be the ten thousand year decree, what do you think?"

Du Yan was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I'm afraid he can't handle the ten thousand year order."

"how do I say this?"

While talking, Changsun Wuji stood up and poured wine for him.

The purpose of inviting Du Yan to the mansion this time is to get some news about Wannian Ling from him.

Hearing Du Yan's words, Changsun Wuji knew he was asking the right person.

Chapter 145 County magistrate Zhang, the humble job took you to the prison?

Du Yan thanked him, took a sip from his wine glass, and said, "There was a murder case in Wannian County, and this murder case is very difficult."

"You also know that Wang Xun, the former Wannian Commander, was interrogated by the third division for a crime. From his mouth, the third division interrogated some things."

"Among them, it is related to this murder case."

"What kind of murder?" Chang Sun Chong asked curiously.

Du Yan glanced at him and continued: "A woman was sent to the residence of a certain son in Chang'an City. The next day, the woman died."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "What kind of difficult murder case is this? The death of this girl is inextricably related to the son you mentioned. Wouldn't it be clear after the first trial?"

Du Yan shook his head and said, "The problem is, someone turned himself in, not that young master."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes, "How did that woman die?"

"That's the problem." Du Yan sighed, "I've done a test, this woman committed suicide."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and smelled some clues, "It's weird."

Du Yan nodded and said: "This old man also thinks so. A woman who is considered to have committed suicide by the author, but someone turned herself in and said that he did it. Do you think it's strange?"

"That's why the old man said that this case is very difficult."

Changsun Wuji was very interested: "What are you going to do at Yushitai?"

"Just wait and see what happens." Du Yan said with a smile: "If the new Wannian Ling enforces the law impartially, someone will take care of him at that time. If he does not enforce the law impartially and intends to make a mess, then the old man will not be polite."

Changsun Wuji smiled, knowing the meaning of Du Yan's words, that he wanted to sell him a favor, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

----

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing staring at Qu He?"

Zhang Dun, Li Lizhi, and Hu Quhe were sitting in the carriage on the way to the Wannian County Government.

Hu Guang sat on the coachman's seat, driving the carriage with a whip in his hand.

Every time he looked back into the carriage, Hu Guang would see Zhang Dun looking at Hu Quhe without saying a word, making her face turn red, and reminded vigilantly, "Don't have any wrong thoughts, your fiancée is here."

Hearing this, Hu Quhe's pretty face turned even redder.

Zhang Dun glared at him angrily, what is a crooked mind, what's wrong with a master looking at his students?

Zhang Dun glanced at Li Lizhi, and saw Li Lizhi staring at him quietly, shook his head and said, "Changzhi, don't think about it."

"I'm not thinking about it." Li Lizhi snorted softly, "I know what Mr. Lang is thinking, are you thinking about using Qu He to resign?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dun was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Li Lizhi said with a smile: "You are short of these words engraved on your face."

Hearing this, Hu Quhe breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and Xiaolu's turbulent heart eased a lot, then he looked up at Zhang Dun in confusion, as if he didn't understand.

"Sister and sister, what do you mean by what you said just now?" Hu Guang looked back into the carriage in astonishment, and said, "What do you mean by resigning from office through Qu He?"

"Then I have to ask Mr. Lang." Li Lizhi blinked and said.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Zhang Dun grinned, pointed at Hu Quhe and said, "I think Quhe has the talent of a prime minister."

"You say, if I train Qu He to be a prime minister, and I resign, will the emperor agree?"

"Promise me a fart." Hu Guang muttered, "If that's the case, wouldn't the court have two prime ministers?"

The smile froze on Zhang Dun's face.

Li Lizhi couldn't help covering her lips and snickering.

The corners of Hu Quhe's mouth curled up slightly, as if his father's words had pierced his heart.

"Besides, even if Qu He can be an official, he certainly can't be a prime minister."

Hu Guang sighed and said, "If I can find a job as an official, then my old Hu family's ancestors will give birth to a phoenix."

Zhang Dun stroked his chin and thought for a few seconds, then said, "Let's try it first."

First cultivate Hu Quhe, the first step is to make her an official.

Now she is not an official.

At most, it can only be called an official.

Moreover, he was still an official who was not given a title by the imperial court. This result was different from what he had initially thought.

But it's a big step forward.

After all, whether in the Tang Dynasty or the former Sui Dynasty, there was no precedent for a woman to assist a county magistrate in handling official affairs.

The future is expected!

Soon, everyone came to Wannianling County Yamen.

This is the second time here!Zhang Dun looked at the familiar Wannian Ling county government office, and led everyone in.

When he came here for the first time, he still remembered being escorted by Wang Xun with two yamen servants.

And once you come, you go to jail.

But this time is different.

He is here to serve!

As soon as he entered the county government office, Zhang Dun saw dozens of people standing not far away.

The leader was a tall, burly middle-aged man.

He was wearing a yamen uniform, and there were eighty yamen servants standing behind him.

The middle-aged man saw Zhang Dun, his eyes lit up, he strode over, clasped his fists and said loudly:

"Yang Wanquan, the head of the low-ranking yamen servants, has met County Magistrate Zhang!"

"I've seen Magistrate Zhang!"

The eighty yamen servants standing behind him clasped their fists and said loudly.

Zhang Dun bowed his hand in return, and then asked curiously: "Boss Yang, we have never met before, how do you know who I am? And, how do you know that I am the county magistrate?"

Team leader Yang said with a dry smile: "The humble job was actually based on guesswork just now."

"However, the news that Zhang Dun, the new top scholar, has served as the ten thousand year order was notified to the Yamen last night."

Team leader Yang said solemnly: "So, from early this morning, I have brought eighty yamen servants to wait for the county magistrate Zhang."

Zhang Dun nodded slightly, but clicked his tongue in his heart, is the imperial court so efficient?You have already notified the subordinates before you have awarded the officials to the new scholars?

Or did you only notify the Wannian County Government?

Zhang Dun faintly felt that the latter was more likely, and asked, "Today the imperial court conferred on me the post of Ten Thousand Years Order. How did you know that I would come today? Not tomorrow?"

"It doesn't matter what day it is." Team Leader Yang coughed lightly and said, "The humble staff has already made plans to wait here with people every day! You can always wait until County Magistrate Zhang comes over."

Hearing this, Zhang Dun smiled, and said: "I just came here today to take a look, I am familiar with it, and I will leave later."

The court granted him an official position, not for him to take office immediately.

After being awarded an official, the first thing is to report to the Ministry of Officials.

After all, the seal of the Wannian Ling is still in the Ministry of Officials. With the seal, he can be regarded as a complete Wannian Ling.

"It's all here, County Magistrate Zhang, don't rush to leave."

Hearing that he said he would leave later, Team Leader Yang's expression changed slightly, he grabbed Zhang Dun's sleeve suddenly, and said excitedly: "The humble officer will take you around our county government office first."

Zhang Dun was startled, waved his hand and said, "I've been here once before."

Team leader Yang hurriedly said: "That's different, this humble job will take you to the prison!"

Zhang Dun shook his head: "The last time I came to the county government, I went to the prison! I am familiar with that place, so there is no need to go!"

Leader Yang: "???"

Chapter 146 Murder in Wannian County

Team Leader Yang suddenly remembered that Wang Xun, the former Wannian Commander, had arrested Zhang Dun and imprisoned him in the county government prison.

In terms of familiarity, he really didn't need to read it a second time after being in the county government prison.

But it won’t work if you don’t watch it a second time.

I am waiting for you today just to invite you to prison!

"Then go around too."

Team Leader Yang looked at him eagerly, "It's all here."

Zhang Dun tilted his head to look at him, and said, "Boss Yang, is there something wrong here?"

Bantou Yang opened his mouth and was stared at by Zhang Dun. He nodded and said, "There was a murder case in Wannian County, and the criminal was locked up in the prison. You, County Magistrate Zhang, have to decide how to deal with it."

"The murder case committed by this person, these days, Yushitai will send people over to inquire from time to time."

"The county magistrate and county lieutenant, they can't make a decision, so they call the censor to deal with it every day."

"A humble job is just the head of a yamen servant, what can I say? Every time I get reprimanded, I'm bloody."

Team leader Yang said solemnly: "As soon as County Magistrate Zhang comes, the humble officer has found a backbone."

Have you found the backbone, or do you feel that you don't need to be scolded?Zhang Dun looked at him not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Tell me about the murder process in detail."
