Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Marriage is basically for profit.

You have to take the risk!

My father-in-law has benefited so much from me, and I have suffered some risks...

No problem!

Do blessings and misfortunes always accompany you?

The key is - I have dozens of brave and capable soldiers, and the Hanjiang Trading Company is still two streets away...

Qing Mimi can't kill me!

Damn it, if you really dare to show your teeth...

If you can't kill someone, you'll be killed by them...

Can I still fall behind?

The top of Nanjing City - all the bosses at the executive level are hanging on the city!

Gu Yuanbi only felt pain in his balls - he was cramping...

If you can't kill quietly, then you can't kill!

Behind Zhang Guoyuan, stood Fang Zhenghua...

Behind Fang Zhenghua, stood Zhu Youjian...

Behind Zhu Youjian stands a powerful soldier who can annihilate the Qing court's 25 troops!

Finish the calf!

A ring within a ring.

You can't kill them all...

Since he can't be killed, he can only think of ways to save his life!

If you can't beat it, join in!

Ancient and modern truth!

Gu Yuanbi's mind went round and round, just when he couldn't think of how to break the situation...

Suddenly he saw Lan Ningxiang, who was holding her sleeve and shivering.

"what!"

Gu Yuanbi rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea:

"What are you doing standing around stupidly!

Why don't you go pick up the frozen watermelon from the well and serve the old governor! "

Gu Yuanbi slapped Lan Ningxiang on the back.

Lan Ningxiang turned around in pain.

But he saw Gu Yuanbi squeezing his eyes crazily.

How can a woman in a brothel who can sneak into a brothel and come out as gay be really stupid and sweet.

In that place where fish and dragons are mixed together, anyone who is simple and weak will have been raped by the guests and the turtles long ago.

"Forgive me, Governor, I'm rude, little girl."

Lan Ningxiang understood instantly, and immediately took the maid and hurriedly went to get the watermelon.

The beauty cuts the melon.

The aroma is mixed with the sweetness of melons and fruits, and it is red and particularly attractive.

Pieces of tempting watermelon were delivered to them by the little maids, but no one took them.

Seeing that his plan was failing, Gu Yuanbi winked again.

Lan Ningxiang entered the inner room and came out holding a big watermelon with difficulty.

The watermelon actually reflected the light of the candlelight.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a beautiful emerald watermelon carved from jade.

A piece of jadeite the size of a human head, with a watermelon texture, its value is worth a thousand dollars!

In these days, China is not the weak China it was after the disaster of the Qing court.

The vassals of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the world!

Jade was one of the tributes paid by foreign vassals. It was a low-end product that could only be exchanged for cotton cloth.

The price is naturally not as outrageous as that of later generations.

However, such a large jadeite is a rare treasure.

It was easy to take it to a pawn shop, sell it, and replace it with more than a dozen yards in the county.

As soon as Gu Yuanbi made a move, he treated him with great courtesy.

However, with gold and jade in front of him, Zhang Guoyuan remained indifferent.

Seeing that Zhang Guoyuan still had a gloomy face, Gu Yuanbi rolled his eyes and lowered his voice:

"Old Governor, I have important news to report!"

Zhang Guoyuan curled his lips.

It doesn't matter if you kill a small person like this.

In addition, His Majesty ordered the construction of a city for the Hanjiang Merchant Group in Jiangyin.

This is a big deal.

In order not to irritate the local powerful, it is okay to keep this beast alive for the time being.

"Come on."

Zhang Guoyuan finally sat down.

"Old Governor, this is what happened..."

Gu Yuanbi quickly dismissed the maid and Lan Ningxiang, lowered his voice, and moved closer to Zhang Guoyuan.

Zhang Guoyuan pointed at the floor tiles two feet away:

"Just stand there and say it!"

Gu Yuanbi did not dare to come any closer, so he could only whisper:

"Old Governor, I know something - a big family in Jiangdu, it is a big deal to impersonate someone else's identity during the imperial examination!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Guoyuan showed signs of fluctuation for the first time.

"go on!"

Gu Yuanbi was overjoyed and continued:

"Old Governor, Zong Mingshi, the former head of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry in Jiangdu, does the old Governor still remember?

He is the younger brother of Tixue Zongchen from Fujian! "

Zong Mingshi was the brother of Zong Chen, a famous poet who was known as the Seventh Son of Jiajing and was the deputy envoy of Fujian Province.

The seven sons of Jiajing: Li Panlong, Wang Shizhen, Xie Bang, Zongchen, Liang Youyu, Xu Zhongxing and Wu Guolun.

Jiangdu is Yangzhou.

The clan name is Xinghua people, because it was under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou at this time, so it can also be called Jiangdu people.

This guy was a Jinshi in the 13th year of Wanli. He served successively as the magistrate of Hefei County, and was promoted to the head of the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry, where he was responsible for the taxation of Jingzhou.

Que Jingzhou Tax - is responsible for Jingzhou Customs (ie Quechang que) tax.

customs……

Naturally, it is a lucrative position.

The Zong family is the head of the customs of a place, and the deputy of the academic administration of a province...

It is not unusual for there to be fraud in the imperial examination!

Zhang Guoyuan suddenly remembered this and nodded immediately:

"Keep talking!"

When Gu Yuanbi saw that there was a way out, he immediately felt relieved.

Regarding eunuchs and gentry, he believed in eunuchs more.

Because these eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were all close to the emperor.

They still need to have some face when dealing with others.

At the very least, what you pay will be rewarded, which is the code of conduct that eunuchs must abide by.

And the gentry...

The governor of the county who destroyed the family and destroyed the family!

Magistrates and magistrates who do not have the power to impose death sentences——

But he can easily kill a whole family of people!

It's enough to know their methods.

Let's be real, as long as you make a deadly move, you can kill someone with just one blow!

Beating the stick is a punishment that the magistrate can easily impose.

If you beat someone to death, you don’t have to take responsibility!

This secret... he has buried in his heart for more than ten years...

Gu Yuanbi never dared to publicize it to the outside world.

Because once the incident comes to light and people find out about it, if his whole family is not crushed to ashes, his ancestors will collectively burn incense!

"This matter is very important, please protect my life!"

Gu Yuanbi made a sound and fell to his knees.

Zhang Guoyuan glanced at Gu Yuanbi and chuckled:

“Out of your mouth and into my ears.

Just do your best to protect yourself! "

Although Zhang Guoyuan did not make a positive promise, he also made a guarantee.

Gu Yuanbi was immediately overjoyed.

Immediately, he poured the beans into the bamboo tube and presented them in full.

"In the sixth year of Chongzhen, during the Nanzhi Township Examination, there was a scholar named Jiang Kaixian.

He tried it, but died of excitement. "

(Suddenly I remembered - when I was taking the driver's license test, my instructor once said that in his early years, a student passed the third-level exam and was so excited...)

“At that time, Zong Mingshi had already passed away.

However, for some unknown reason, Zong Mingshi adopted his seventh son Zong Hao to Zong Chen, who had been dead for decades.

The boy later figured it out - Zongchen once served as a scholar in Fujian!

Zong Mingshi adopted Zong Hao to Zong Chen and asked him to study in Nanzhi. Naturally, he had to sell his face.

This is the basis for Zong Hao to replace others' fame.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, Zong Hao was only 20 years old when the results of the provincial examination were released. "(19 years old)

“Because Nanzhi has always had many scholars and has squeezed out too many talented people over the years, the provincial examination is far more difficult than going to Beijing to take the exam!

At that time, the number of people admitted to Juren was based on the standards of Wanli 43, which meant that 1287 people were admitted nationwide. "(In the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign, the number increased to 1415.)
