Since I met you, people are dying every day

Wan Chengyu nodded, and asked everyone to sit down, "Brother Ying also knows that Brother Yu's conditions here are relatively simple, and there is no tea for hospitality. Please make up for it."

The article that Ye Sirui picked up was about the wise man’s joy of water. View the beginning: “The sage is the one who knows the benevolent, and reveals its essence in detail. The feelings of the benevolent and the knowing are different. The body has movement and stillness. Longevity, is there anyone who doesn’t respond by analogy?” Breaking the topic and inheriting the topic are done concisely.Just say a sentence later, the momentum has dropped a bit, and the couplets are too rigid and square, and lose interest.Ye Sirui's heart turned a thousand times, and he just said: "Good article, Wei Ru's writing is upright and ancient, and it has everyone's style."

Wan Chengyu just showed a slight smile, then frowned, "It's too rigid, and I know it, but it's just like this, I don't know how to correct it."

"It's also simple." Ye Sirui said, "You might as well read the opera tunes. Although these things are not on the table, they are the most particular about the change of rhythm. There are lyrics and songs handed down from the previous dynasty. It can be seen that there are no divisions in literature and music. It’s the words of a sage, but the examiner’s marking of the papers is not exempt. Weiru’s writing is square enough, if you pay more attention to the beauty of phonology, I think you will be able to win the gold list next year.”

Wan Chengyu said thoughtfully: "This is a way..." When he came back to his senses, he bowed respectfully to Ye Sirui, "This matter has troubled Weiru for many days, and if it wasn't for your high opinion, I don't know how long it would be useless. , I can’t thank you enough.”

He Ying was also impatient to listen to their stereotypes. Seeing that the problem had been solved, she smiled and said, "Don't feel complacent. Brother Ye just has something to ask you. Isn't this an opportunity?"

Finally getting to the point, Wan Chengyu was a little embarrassed, but immediately asked, "I don't know what's the matter with Brother Ye? Wei Ru will tell the truth."

"Wei Ru has an elder brother who participated in this year's scientific examination?" Ye Sirui thought about it in his mind, but decided to be more reserved.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this sentence, Wan Chengyu's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, almost driving the three of them out of the house. "Why did you come here!" His furious eyes turned to He Ying, unable to see that so much anger could be accumulated in his thin body, "I thought you were sincere in your relationship with me! It turns out that you also came to see me It's a joke! Doesn't the young master of the family really have a good thing?!"

If it was He Ying before, she might have choked back the words directly.It's just that he has been beaten in the capital for a month, and after all, something is different.He stood up and put his hands on Wan Chengyu's shoulders, forcing him to sit down. "Be calm and calm." Xia Shuzao stood in front of Ye Sirui when Wan Chengyu got up to prevent any accidents. Ye Sirui also stretched out his hand and told him to sit down too.The four sat down again, and Ye Sirui said: "I didn't come to watch the fun, but I just carried the order of my superiors to investigate your brother's death."

Wan Chengyu asked hoarsely: "He died by hanging himself, what can we investigate?"

Ye Sirui said: "You watched him die? Do you think he would be someone who wanted to die? How do you know there is no inside story?"

Wan Chengyu broke free from He Ying and stood up, "You said he didn't commit suicide?"

"I'm just saying that there may be something inside." Wan Chengyu was startled, but Ye Sirui did not reveal the slightest trace.

Wan Chengyu was numb for a while, opened and closed his eyes forcefully, and finally sat back slowly. "You have... what can you ask?"

The Wan family is a big family in Beijing, and their ancestral home is in Pu County.Wan Chengyu and Wan Chengtiao belong to the same clan, but the two branches are not close.Wan Chengtiao's family is rich, compared to Wan Chengyu's conditions are much worse, but with the help of his clan, he has no worries about food and clothing.This time when he came to Beijing to rush for the exam, Wan Chengyu was called to accompany the exam, but he was actually half a book boy.

Ye Sirui started the conversation from Wan Chengyu. Wan Chengyu thought that he would directly ask about the fraud in the imperial examination like the Shuntianfu interrogation. Who knew that he was talking about the relationship and family between the two of them. Although he was puzzled, he relaxed After a few questions, answer them one by one.

Li Xinghuan had nothing to do with Wanjia, but just ran into each other while on the way.Li Xinghuan is the son of a farmer, and he was admitted to the county school. He received the rice and meat with excellent grades in every assessment.Wan Chengtiao was pure and kind, so he invited him to travel together to save food and lodging.After entering Beijing, he rented a room in the Zhuangyuan Building and had meals every day, all of which were paid by Wan Chengtiao.

After finishing the provincial examination, Wan Chengtiao often took the two of them to participate in banquets and singing between the examinations.It was only when Yao Yi was sued for cheating in the exam that Wan Chengtiao stayed behind closed doors, and even Wan Chengyu seldom saw him afterwards.

They went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and stayed in time-honored restaurants all the time. Wan Chengtiao and Wan Chengyu brought only a pair of father and son with them.The father and son were taken by the Shuntian Mansion after Wan Chengtiao's death, and it seems that they haven't been released yet.

Wan Chengyu can only say so much.Just as the conversation was about to come to an end, Ye Sirui said suddenly: "Did you buy the test questions for the previous township examination?"

Wan Chengyu's eyes widened and he shook his head again and again, "I've never seen the test questions before I started the test. When the master of Shuntian Mansion asked me about it, I answered the same way."

After the postponement of the township examination, Shuntian Prefecture went to arrest the bookshops and restaurants that sold the test questions before, but these merchants basically consigned all kinds of test questions and articles all the year round, and they didn't even know that these were real test questions.In the end, only a few people who spread rumors about selling exam questions were caught. They were all idle rogues who were stuffed with money and let the wind out.They didn't even find anyone who sold the test questions, let alone a scholar who bought the test questions.It was also difficult for Ye Sirui to verify whether what he said was true or not, so he just asked along the way: "In the re-examination, the article you wrote was in Qi Wenshao, was it a previous article, or did you do it on the spot?"

Wan Chengyu blushed, lowered his head and said glutinously: "I'm really ashamed, it was a previous article that was corrected by the teacher."

"What about Wan Chengtiao's article? It was also done before?"

Wan Chengyu thought for a while, "I'm not sure about this, but Zizai Qi Wenshao thinks he must have done it."

These words were impeccable, and Ye Sirui could not find any flaws. 67th, he flicked the paper with his fingertips, the meaning was unclear, this ranking is not low.

Wan Chengyu kept lowering his head and thinking about something, Ye Sirui didn't want to stay here after asking the question, and wanted to say goodbye, but he suddenly figured it out, raised his head and asked eagerly: "I don't know, Your Excellency... Your Excellency just mentioned reading music Ci, do you have any bibliography recommendations?"

Ye Sirui and He Ying looked at each other in blank dismay.Is it possible that this person is stupid in reading?Ye Sirui has already stated that he is here to investigate the case, so he still wants to recommend a bibliography?

In the end, it was Xia Shu who secretly pinched him from the side, and Ye Sirui was vague, "Go to the bookstore and buy one or two of our collections, just choose the elegant and quiet ones, just ask the store, the store will give you recommendations."

After they left smoothly, Ye Sirui asked He Ying how he knew this living treasure.He Ying answered casually: "That's how I know him. He is not familiar with the place where he was born. A feeble scholar riding a donkey along the road looking for a place to live in the suburbs of Beijing. Since I saw it, I can't help but help me." ?”

With He Ying's indifference towards Wan Chengtiao, it doesn't seem like he has any friendship with Wan Jia.Ye Sirui cared as he walked: "Speaking of which, you will be taking the exam in a few months, why didn't I see you preparing?"

"Why didn't you prepare?" He Ying lamented, "It's just that this place is too far away from the school field, and I have to run across before going back to practice. If it wasn't for the fear that someone would bully him when I left, I would have wanted to move to a closer place." Already!"

Judging from He Ying's performance at the Marquis Anshun's birthday banquet, he does have an exquisite heart.

Ye Sirui sent him to the restaurant and was about to leave with Xia Shu.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" He Ying stopped them, "It's already here, let me treat you to a meal, and we can ride back together."

Ye Sirui subconsciously looked at Xia Shu's face.But Xia Shu didn't show him so many faces, he still had Gu Jing Wubo's eyes.Ye Sirui shook his heart, grabbed Xia Shu's sleeve and made a gesture to leave. "Don't bother. Brother Tianshu and I have heavy responsibilities after all, so we can't delay. We will let you take care of this burden in the future."

He Ying looked at Ye Sirui's hand steadily, and said lightly: "Then the lord has a smooth journey, and the younger brother will not see you off."

When they rode back to Beijing, they had to go through the gate of the procuratorate, and Ye Sirui got off his horse and went in on foot. Before he could reach his yamen, someone would come up to salute, "My lord, you What you want is here."

Ye Sirui's eyes lit up.He immediately turned around and called Xia Shu in who was leading the horse outside the door.Xia Shu didn't know, so he went in, tied the horse and came striding forward.Menzi wanted to say something, but Ye Sirui couldn't help distinguishing it, and strided forward to meet him, holding Xia Shu's hand, "Yes! Go watch something with me!"

In his yamen, the files of several cases were piled up two or three layers from beginning to end.He casually picked up a paper transcribed with a red pen, and the name and place of origin on the seal had been opened. It was a Zhu family in Pu County, Zeyu, who had won more than 130 people.The articles in his paper are divided into half and half.Ye Sirui started to read the first chapter in Qi Wenshao, and felt that it was flat, and although there was nothing wrong with it, there was nothing brilliant about it.Such a paper can be ranked first, and it is not surprising that Wan Chengyu's article can be ranked 67th.

Thinking of this, he turned to the list at the top, which listed the rankings of the eleven Puxian exams in detail, as well as the owners and rankings of several papers for comparison.

Ye Sirui saw that there was a solution, so he asked Xia Shu to find it first.Xia Shu has never read a book, so there is no way for him to read classics and articles, but he is still familiar with recognizing a name and finding a test paper.While he was looking for the cleared papers, Ye Sirui casually took out a few papers and read them carefully.The rankings in the Puxian examination papers vary from high to low, and the difference can be seen in the quality of the articles, but... Ye Sirui holds a few papers for comparison. The difference in the quality of the papers is not small.
