Dongchang needs talents like you

Su Ren has not been working in Tonggui for a short time, but he has read almost all the remaining files, and he has a deep understanding of how many exams he can get during the announcement period, and he has doubts about his exam results.

Although there are various functions of Tongjia's initial settings, the only thing that is really used by most candidates is the fee-based examination paper.

The process is very simple, pay with one hand and deliver with one hand.If you give enough money, you can see the exam paper that you have copied out. You can only read it on the spot under the supervision of others, and you can't take it away.Because there are too many suggestions that "my ranking is not worthy of my 'exquisite' answers", the money needed to check the test papers is increasing year by year, but there are still strong people who don't believe in evil and insist on paying money take a look.

Not to mention, sometimes you really see a problem, and at this time you have to pay another sum of money to call up the test paper that the examinee answered by himself and verify the answer.

This process has become numb to all the people in Tongjiao.

When Xu Gui came to Tonggao to declare and felt that there was a problem with his ranking, the people who were temporarily transferred to Tonggao to be in charge were too lazy to look up at the little scholar in front of him, and just let him queue up to get the number, follow the rules and regulations, and get ready Money, tribute courtyard number, and proof of native place will be given to him when it is his turn.

Xu Gui was actually a little confused, he didn't expect that there would be so many complaints from Tongjiao, and there were actually some people who knew him whispering.

"Isn't Xu Gui satisfied with being in the top [-] of the exam and being able to enter the palace exam?"

"He's the disciple of the chief assistant, and he's high-spirited."

"Tsk."

At this moment, Su Ren happened to pass by the front hall and met Xu Gui's eyes: "Xu Gui? Why are you here?" Su Ren stepped forward and asked Xu Gui patiently.

"I think there is a problem with my ranking." Xu Gui answered truthfully.

"Oh." Su Ren felt that he understood, and raised his hand to touch the child's head, "This year's topic is a bit biased, and it must be different from the one you usually practice with Mr. Shoufu. This is normal. I I believe your grades in the imperial examination will be better. But it’s just that you didn’t get a member, so don’t be depressed.”

Simply put, don't waste your time here.

Others who didn't know Su Ren thought to themselves, why can you say "getting Huiyuan" so easily, who are you?It wasn't until it was popularized that this was Mr. Su Rensu, who won three yuan in the same year and was appointed as the number one scholar by Emperor Tianhe in the palace examination, everyone shut up. It is true that Huiyuan can be ignored.

Xu Gui shook his head: "No, I don't think my ranking is low, I think it's too high."

"... Huh?" Many people couldn't hold back, and expressed surprise from the bottom of their hearts. Why do you say it again, what do you think?

After reading the dossiers for so many years, Su Ren only felt that his strength was underestimated. No one ever said that his ranking was judged to be high, and he hoped to review it again.

Never had one!

"Are you sure you want to re-investigate?" Su Ren couldn't help suggesting that Xu Gui calm down.As a member of Chi Ning's huge family, even though Su Ren was not familiar with Xu Gui, he still had a good impression of the child from the Xu family. Chi Ning also asked him to take care of him for a while, and he agreed.Su Ren never expected that his care for Xu Gui would be used in such a strange place: "Young people, don't be arrogant, have you discussed it with your family? I can pretend that you have never been here."

No matter how dissatisfied the other people present were, they could only think sourly, it's nice to have someone they know, even Twitch has room for repentance.

The people in charge of Tonggui are basically here today, and they are preparing to have a meeting with Su Lu, the person in charge.Before the meeting even started, I met such a wonderful person as Xu Gui. Although it seemed that everyone was doing their own thing, they really wanted to stick their ears to Su Ren.

However, they also basically knew the tortuous relationship between Su Ren and Xu Gui, and they felt that this matter would probably be settled.Alas, it hurts to have no melon to eat.

"No matter what the result of the discussion is, I will insist on re-examination." Xu Gui looked at Su Ren unswervingly. He knew that Mr. Su had good intentions, and he was very grateful that the other party was so considerate of him, but he would not give up. "My paper is a blank paper. How could I get such a high ranking? Please help me, sir."

"!!!" This time it really shocked everyone, the kind that dropped the melons in their hands.

Su Ren finally understood that this was a conspiracy, so he stopped persuading him. After all, to be honest, Xu Gui had nothing to calculate, and he must be targeting Chi Ning after all this.Between the relatives who turned the corner and godfather Chi Ning, Su Ren would definitely only choose Bao Chi Ning.Because of this, Su Ren has a better impression of Xu Gui, he is a good boy who knows how not to trouble his elders.

"What, there is such a thing? Are you serious? Tell me in detail."

Su Ren's talent in acting is innate, almost at the full level, no matter what he thinks in his heart, the only expression on his face is the righteousness of "never favoritism".He also deliberately decided to ask Xu Gui to make it clear in the hall, and find witnesses, the more the better.

Xu Gui also came prepared, fluently and truthfully told the whole story, and handed over a series of evidence such as the copying samples of the imperial physician's pulse case.

The official who went to transcribe the version came back with Xu Gui's paper, and everyone saw that it was full of answers.

"Find the original scroll!" Su Ren didn't bother to talk nonsense, and when the original scroll was brought out, he still gave the same answer.

But Xu Gui said that his examination paper was blank at that time, so it was easy to fill it up by manipulation.Xu Gui left his own handwriting on the spot in the main hall of Tonggao, which is indeed slightly different from the handwriting on the original scroll. It can only be said that the handwriting on the original scroll is similar in shape but not in spirit, which is a bit of imitation.

Because the situation was so special, even the drafts were found in the end.

Sure enough, the handwriting on the draft was Xu Gui's, and the content on it was far more amazing than that on the answer sheet.But the content of the draft was not finished, and the principals who read the first half felt sorry for Xu Gui: "It's a pity."

"We will definitely investigate thoroughly." It was Su Ren who made a promise to Xu Gui, "Before the results come out, please wait at home."

Because there were too many people in Tongjiao at that time, Xu Gui hadn't even walked home, and his affairs were already flying all over the sky among the various yamen, and the attention was terribly high.

It's just too rare.

His paper was sentenced to a high ranking, not only did he not laugh at home, but also reported himself?Wow, what kind of operation is this, is it crazy?The most important thing is that this ranking is really problematic.

When Wang Yang heard the news, he realized what Chi Ning came to apologize for.He mistakenly thought that Chi Ning came to apologize after learning about Xu Gui's decision to report him.The other officials looked at Mr. Shoufu cautiously, for fear that he would be pissed off by his little disciple's manipulation, but in fact Wang Yang was not angry.

Even, deep down in Wang Yang's heart, he felt that Xu Gui did the right thing.

Regardless of whether this was a conspiracy against someone or not, since Xu Gui didn't answer the questionnaire, he shouldn't have received such a high ranking. He had to speak out, otherwise it would be unfair to others.

There are many people who regret to miss the imperial examination because of their physical condition, and they didn't ask for any special treatment, did they?

Just like Wang Yang always had a wish hidden deep in his heart to be a virtuous minister who would assist Mingjun, even though he was getting old, the scholarly spirit in his chest did not dissipate.Not only did he not blame Xu Gui, but he admired him even more. He felt that this son had the same demeanor as he did back then, and not everyone had the courage to stand up and refuse the benefits that were at his fingertips.

In addition, Wang Yang felt that Chi Ning was incredible.

It's not that Wang Yang doesn't know about Chi Ning's many small thoughts about climbing up, but he has always been adhering to the attitude of making friends with eunuchs with the attitude that when water is clear, there are no fish. He can bear Chi Ning's selfishness and desire for power.

But now, Wang Yang has to reflect on himself, whether he still has too much prejudice against the eunuch class, so he feels that Chi Ning is the same as others.It's obviously different, he was also shocked by Chi Ning's standing up in front of the Hall of Wuwei, how could he still feel that Chi Ning was in the same boat as others?

Thinking about Chi Ning running around for Qian Xiaoyu, who had nothing to do with him, and acquiescing to Xu Gui's self-destructive behavior... Wang Yang finally came to the conclusion that Chi Ning is a very rare eunuch among eunuchs. clear stream.

If Chi Ning knew what Wang Yang was thinking, he would probably die laughing and tell the other party who to insult, I am a bad person and I don't want to be a good person, thank you.

But Chi Ning didn't know what Wang Yang was thinking, so he could only be misunderstood.

Wang Yang made a final decision and settled Xu Gui's matter: "The old man is also very curious. Why are there so many different answers on the blank paper and how did Xu Gui get into the top [-] and enter the imperial examination? If it is for There is no need for me or Governor Chi's face, and we have never asked anyone to take care of Xu Gui secretly. Looking at his draft, we know that he can completely rely on his own ability to enter the palace examination. This year, he had a poisoning accident. Just fight afterward, why rush at this moment?"

In the end, because the matter was so special, it was brought to court.When Emperor Nianping asked Wang Yang, he still said the same thing - they have a clear conscience and only want a thorough investigation.

After hearing Wang Yang's words, Emperor Nianping's face turned blue, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

After the court, it is said that Emperor Nian Ping lost his temper even before he left the Hall of Inaction, the kind that could not be suppressed.He wanted to insult the person who made him feel so aggrieved loudly, but he didn't know who to start with.

Why did things develop so strangely?

What happened to Xu Gui? !

But the matter has come to this point, Emperor Nian Ping can only pretend to be ignorant of the matter behind it, and nodded to agree to set up a special investigation team with Tongjia as the core and the third division as the assistant, and must investigate the whole story Clearly!

It's very exciting to check yourself.

At the same time, Jiang Zhiwei was also investigating the truth of the matter for Chi Ning in private, and quickly found the answer.

"The cause of this matter, if it is someone else, it is really difficult to find out, and it is me." Jiang Zhiwei said to the two junior brothers while drinking the good tea from Chi Ning, not forgetting that Wang Po sold melons and boasted. Looking at his hard work, "Do you know who injected the poison and how?"

Chi Ning and Yu Xingchui each sat on a grand teacher's chair, and neither of them sent it to the senior brother as a joke, because...

"It has nothing to do with the Xing family boy, he really just happened to be standing close to Xiaogui!" Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but say it directly, he didn't understand the essence of being tricky at all.

The Xing family really didn't dare to make trouble at the beginning, they were terrified of Chi Ning.

Chi Ning pursed his lips, smiled "xiemei", and cupped his hands to the two senior brothers: "Acceptance, acquiescence, I am just ordinary evil." As eunuchs, there is no one who does not want others to be afraid of themselves, because they grew up Fear of the environment itself is a kind of respect.Chi Ning has been determined to be all nightmares since he was a child, and he has been working hard now.

Of course, the reason why the Xing family is so cowardly is because Shangshu Xing, who has just taken office, finally knows the secret that only the bosses know: Wang Shi is Wang Yang's grandniece.

Xing Shangshu was afraid of being settled by the first assistant Qiu Hou, so he made the same choice as Emperor Nian Ping-immediately counseled.

"Hey, those grandsons are still investigating the Xing family. They found out that Mr. Xing is such a coward." Jiang Zhiwei felt a little resentful that Emperor Ping didn't include him in the investigation team.His achievements in the past three years in Xiantai are obvious to all, but Emperor Nian Ping, who is narrow-minded, is unwilling to let him join the special investigation team, oh, regret it!

"I think Emperor Nian Ping deliberately excluded you because he was afraid that you would find out the truth." Chi Ning comforted his brother who was blowing hair, "In a sense, it is also an affirmation of your ability."

Jiang Zhiwei was pleased, and then continued: "Others can't find out, because there is an attachment."

With the incident in Zuojiazhuang last time, Chi Ning asked Yuan Jun to give his senior brother Jiang Zhiwei a long-term wisdom root, so that he can see persistence like him, which can not only protect himself, but also facilitate investigation.

Jiang Zhiwei went around the Gongyuan and understood everything.

"Someone is going to use the cling to cause trouble, and is going to drug that kid from the Xing family. But this idiot made a mistake!" Jiang Zhiwei gets angry when he mentions it, and he must guard against it.

Talented Xing has made countless enemies in Beijing.He didn't take revenge on Xu Gui at the beginning because he was too busy to take care of himself. After he moved to Yongji with his father, he debated with people everywhere, and the offended people were not one or two.He is proud of his talent and feels how great he is in the local academy, but he doesn't know that under the feet of Yongji, a mixed emperor, the most important thing is never talent, but relationship.

It is actually quite sad to say so, but every dynasty has to face such intertwined problems after a hundred years of establishment, and it is difficult to make drastic changes.

Because after all, this is a society that emphasizes human feelings, and people must be merciful outside the law, let alone other things.

Xing Caizi should have paid the price for his inability to be a human being, but because of his uncontrollable obsession, he had an oolong. Xu Gui, who stood very close to Xing Caizi, was unlucky enough to take it on his behalf.But it was also because of this poison that Xu Gui could prove himself that what he handed in was really a blank paper.How can a person whose hands are shaking so much that he can't even finish the draft, touch the real paper?

Dirty examination papers are also a crime in Daqi. Those who are less serious will not be able to take the exam next time, and those who are more serious may be characterized as disrespectful to His Majesty.No one would take that risk.

After drinking and pecking, no one can tell how much fate has played tricks on people.

The investigation team couldn't see the attachment, so after checking and checking, naturally they could only find out a loneliness.
