Qing Chuanzhi's actor is reborn in the emperor's family
Chapter 155 Fraud
After half a month of recuperating, sleeping and beating his younger brother, the fifth master, who was finally in good health, was coaxed and tricked into the court hall by the empress Ama, and he couldn't help but put an autumn inspector As for the errand, it was so easy to negotiate and was packed and thrown out of the capital.
"Brother—what should we do? They've already prepared everything, and the money has been collected, so there's no time to regret it now!"
As soon as he was about to go to court, Elder Brother Shi hurried to the starling's house, rubbing his hands anxiously and circling back and forth.Yinhu was so dizzy from being entangled, he sat down in the chair by pressing him, and then he calmed down and said: "What's the hurry, it's not like this is guaranteed to be investigated, according to Brother Wu's temperament, it's hard to say whether he doesn't care about it—— Where are your disciples, are there any in Jiangnan?"
"No, how dare you touch Jiangnan?"
Yin'e was taken aback, and shook his head in desperate denial.It's just that he, the starling, dared to go to the south of the Yangtze River to fortify the people, and he was forced to return one, and finally there was one Su He and one An Zhongren. Who knew that in just a few months, Su He committed suicide and An Zhong Jen disappeared as a result.Even if he didn't have a brain, he didn't have the guts, and he didn't dare to touch Fifth Brother's Ni Lin, who is unlucky to touch.
"Then it doesn't matter. He won't take care of other places except Jiangnan. At most, he will go down and go around to deal with business."
Yinhu heaved a sigh of relief, poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, and said with a meaningful smile: "As long as you get the fifth brother's temperament right, many things are not so difficult to do—you just remember that he is fierce and resolute. It's time to be decisive. That's because he either doesn't move, or there is a big movement. He is actually more unwilling to cause trouble than anyone else. As long as things don't come to him, he himself has always been too lazy to take the initiative to intervene. It's just that if it's really that small, and it just hits right in front of his eyes, he will definitely not ignore it."
"Hearing what you said, myna, it seems to be really..."
Elder Brother Shi rubbed his head, finally heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp: "Then I will send a message to them later, telling them to restrain themselves and not rush It's unlucky to bump into Fifth Brother's eyes."
Yinhu nodded slightly, thought for a while before saying: "This time it is He Zhuo who presides over the Shandong Provincial Examination. He has always been safe and loyal. I will ask someone to send him a letter and ask him to help cover up the situation. Two, do what you have to do. Now that the crown prince controls the bureaucracy, we have no way to start. We can only develop power from the people in each new department. Right now is the most important opportunity to win over these scholars, so we must not miss it. won their trust, you know?"
"Hey." Yin'e nodded in response, and felt that holding a teacup was too much fun, so he took a few sips from the teapot, then wiped his mouth and said: "Brother, you rest, I will go down and ask They go, come back and talk back."
Yinhu nodded slightly, seeing that the tenth younger brother had gone far away, and then said to the room temperature: "Madam, you have worked hard, did the fourth sister-in-law say anything?"
"In my opinion, you, the fourth sister-in-law, will be abolished sooner or later--I feel annoyed when I see you crying all day long, and my brain is stupid. She doesn't believe that she is good for her. I am really a close friend who wants to harm her. Say something like a human being."
Ba Fujin came out from the back room, glanced at the water stains on the teapot and teacup, and showed some impatient disgust in his eyes: "Come on, take out all these things and reward them. A new set is coming."
Immediately a maidservant outside responded, and quickly stepped in and replaced all the tea sets, and replaced it with a pot of freshly brewed Biluochun, then bent down and retreated.Yinhu seemed to have gotten used to it long ago, there was no change on her face, she just poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "If it weren't for her temper, how could we have taken advantage of it—she Did you mention anything about the case?"
"No, ever since Da Huang Ama bestowed Niu Gulu's family as a side Fujin to the fourth brother, she only knew to cry and worry all day long. After such a long time, she calmed down and started crying again. What is Honghui called? The fifth uncle taught me wildly, instead of focusing on my own family, I kept turning it outside—after all, I never said anything useful. In my opinion, I am afraid that the fourth brother would not let her know. not sure."
Ba Fujin took a sip of tea, snorted lightly, and there was a touch of disdain in his eyes: "If there are people in this world who can't tell good from bad, I've seen it clearly these few times. She thought her Hong Hui How many people snatched the treasure? What a blessing it is to be able to adopt Brother Fifth. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it must be the king of an iron hat. Before Brother Fifth opened his mouth to say it, she actually took Joe here. Now——If you want me to say that you should listen to me, don't keep fighting against your fifth brother, and avoid everything in the open and in the dark. Is that the person we can pull down? You said it yourself just now, don't you If you mess with him, he won't mess with you, so why bother to provoke a killing god to make things difficult for us?"
"It's not that I want to provoke Fifth Brother, but—"
Yinhu responded subconsciously, but stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, and smiled bitterly again in silence for a long time, shook his head and sighed softly: "It's because my own status is too low, as long as I want to climb up , You have to use those shady methods. Brother Wu grew up in the radiance since he was a child, and he was loved and raised by Huang Ama in the palm of his hand. An embarrassing eater who is scratching upwards and trying to drill..."
-
"I still can't figure it out, why there is still such a job as patrol inspections—has it ever happened before?"
The fifth elder brother, who was held in the palm of his hand and spoiled since he was a child, has just been packed and thrown out of the capital by his royal ama. He is standing on the border of Zhili with a blank face, feeling that the future of the world is boundless, and he doesn't know it for a while. Where should I go first: "Master Shi, have you seen him before?"
"It's okay if you don't see it, it will happen this time."
Shi Shilun took a bite of a baked potato, couldn't help blowing on it, and responded with a vague smile: "Long Live Lord just wants to ask Fifth Lord to come out and relax. You see, you are all in the capital city." I've been depressed for so long, so I took the opportunity to go out for a stroll, it's not bad, isn't it..."
Naturally, Yin Qi didn't want to be locked in the capital all the time, but if the capital was safe and sound, that's all. Now there is obviously a case of the third prince Zhu who has not been found out, and the informants in the palace have not been found out.Kicking him out of the capital at such a delicate time, he couldn't help but worry about whether his royal ama and fourth brother were going to do something behind their backs, and it was always difficult to calm down in his heart: " Tell me to come out to relax—why are you still following?"
"This—probably Long Live Lord thinks that I am more reliable and can serve Fifth Lord well?"
Shi Shilun blew the baked potatoes until they were half-cooled, and finally took a bite with satisfaction, but he was so hot that he couldn't help but fall over in his mouth.Yinqi lost his temper because of his hobgoblin attitude, pursed his lips and stared at him for a long while, then finally sighed helplessly: "I think they just want to transfer you away, so that some people will probe into the activities ——In that case, I should be your company..."
"Fifth Master is really as insightful as a torch, and the lower officials admire him."
After hearing what he said, Shi Shilun's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, but immediately disappeared without a trace, and he casually cupped his hands in praise.Yinqi was so choked by him that he was almost directly amused, shook his head helplessly and said: "Master Shi, I finally know why Huang Ama asked you to come out with me."
It was so easy to see such a helpless and headache-looking look on such a helpless and headache-ridden elder brother who managed to turn the tide by himself, Shi Shilun could not help but smile, and hurriedly coughed lightly to hold back, He bowed his hands solemnly and said, "Oh? I'm actually very curious in my heart, please let Fifth Master express it."
"..." Yinqi glared at him resentfully, remained silent for a while, and finally let out a long sigh of resignation: "Because Huang Ama has already predicted it—no matter how I ask, I can't get it from your mouth." I found some useful things in it..."
Although it was said that he came down for inspection, Yin Qi didn't plan to really look into it - after all, there was nothing really clean. He had been in the entertainment industry for many years in his previous life, and he had already seen those shady tricks.There are acquaintances in the family, and it is human nature to go to the back door to ask for personal favors and ask the examiner for guidance, just like asking the teacher of the college entrance examination proposition group to help guess the questions. Not to the point of being beaten to death with a stick.It was said to be an inspection tour, but I just planned to walk around, just to see the excitement of the candidates.
The day of Qiuwei was set on August [-]th, and Yinqi and his party left Beijing on the first day of August. They stopped and stopped all the way through Zhili. Seeing that it was August [-]th, they stopped at Jinan Prefecture. .The Gongyuan of Shandong Province is located in the southeast of Jinan Prefecture, and it is also the hometown of Confucius. There is an endless stream of candidates who come to take the exam every year, but it is only a little worse than the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the largest autumn palace in the northern provinces. Gongyuan, the few people didn't intend to go any further, and just stopped at the governor's mansion in Shandong.
Xie Cilu, governor of Shandong Province, is a pure scholar who has reached this level step by step by taking the imperial examinations, and still treats people with the reserved and polite that is unique to a scholarly family.Yinqi had just arrived in Jinan Mansion, and he was welcomed to rest at the mansion, and he personally prepared meals, took care of everything with all his heart, but he didn't see half of the flattery, it seemed that someone had already explained it, just follow the steps It seems to follow suit, but it also has a bit of the pedantic and cuteness that is unique to scholars.
"Master Xie is from Guangxi. He was elected in the same year as Mr. Xie and his son at the age of 20. His knowledge is very good."
Shi Shilun sat with Yin Qi at the banquet, introduced with a light smile, then turned to the square-eyed middle-aged man sitting next to Xie Cilu, and continued with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhang Boxing, the procuratorate of Shandong Province. ——Speaking of which, the fifth master should know him too, he also served as the governor of Jiangsu for a year."
It is obviously not an honorable thing for the governor to be transferred to the inspector.Yinqi has dealt with useless officials during the purge of Jiangnan in recent years, but for a moment he couldn't remember when Zhang Boxing was brought down by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.He coughed lightly to cover it up, and greeted with a slight nod of tea instead of wine: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Student Zhang Boxing, thank the old fifth master for his kindness."
Before Xie Cilu could respond, Zhang Boxing suddenly got up solemnly, held a wine glass and bowed respectfully to Yinqi, and then drank the wine in the glass: "In the past, the students were in Jiangsu Province, and they only knew one thing. Seeking the name of being clean and honest, but lacking the talent for politics, so that the law and order under the rule are chaotic, and the cases pile up, but they are still complacent and unaware. If the fifth master does not wake up, I am afraid that it will inevitably harm the people of one side."
Hearing what he said, Yinqi finally remembered this confused and upright official who once gave him a headache.This Zhang Bo is really honest and upright, and he is not afraid of the rich and powerful. He was even praised by Huang Ama personally as "Bohang's conduct is the best in the world". Be a governor.Unexpectedly, although such an upright official has good morals, he has no political talents, and his temperament is somewhat paranoid and harsh.He endured this Zhang Boxing for more than a year, and finally packed him up and threw him out of Jiangnan Province, but he didn't pay attention to where he went afterwards.
"Your Majesty Zhang speaks too seriously - the ancients said 'cultivating the body, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world', this self-cultivation is still in the first place. Your Excellency is upright in nature, honest and self-sustaining as an official, which is enough to be admired. It can be sharpened and grown, but this nature cannot be changed.”
Yinqi smiled lightly, raised his hand across the table to give a little support, and then chuckled and joked warmly: "The things in the past were just to seek his own government in his position. I was ordered to be in charge of the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River. My lord is the governor of Jiangsu. Only then did some entanglements arise. Now that my lord has been transferred to Shandong as the procurator, the one who should worry about it is naturally the governor Xie lord, but I can't control it at all..."
Zhang Boxing's nature has always been upright and prudent, and he knew in his heart that he had done something wrong, so he naturally didn't have the slightest resentment towards Yin Qi, he bent down and said yes seriously, and then sat back in a well-behaved manner.Yinqi looked at the governor and pressed the envoy, and felt that it was really interesting to have such two nerds with similar temperaments in a province, and suddenly couldn't help but have a strong feeling for the remaining chief envoy of the Trinity. curious.I really can't think of what kind of person I am, who can not only smooth over these two bosses and colleagues at all levels in Beijing who are not provoked by their temperament, but also live in harmony with them all the time, without being overwhelmed by these two pedantic The disciple of the saint was so angry that he shook his sleeves and quit: "I only saw two adults today, but I don't know who is the chief envoy of our province. Why is it not at the table?"
Unexpectedly, it would be better if he didn't ask, but after this question, everyone suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, even Xie Cilu, who has always been gentle and refined, couldn't help coughing in guilt, and hesitated for a moment Cai said: "If you go back to the prince, the chief envoy—in fact, it's also on the table..."
"..." Yinqi felt stunned and speechless for a moment, and carefully looked at the people at the table, not counting Xie Cilu and Zhang Boxing, and besides himself and Tanlang, it seemed that there was only one left Option: "Master Shi——you are quite busy..."
"Thanks to the grace, I am really ashamed, ashamed..."
Shi Shilun chuckled in embarrassment, and his eyes couldn't help wandering around guiltily—he actually came here to take office this time.After all, this chief envoy is from the second rank, at the same level as the governor, and can be regarded as a feudal official. He is much stronger than his third rank, Shuntian Fu Yin, who is always facing the threat of sending Ninggu Pagoda to plant trees. On the one hand, it was a reward for running errands for the plague this time, and on the other hand, it was also a move to cooperate with the Long Live Lord in Beijing.I didn't expect to be able to hide the fifth master, but I didn't expect this master with a clear mind to come up and ask the chief envoy, telling him to find a room for relaxation, but he couldn't ease it, so he could only insist on it. Scalp admitted it.
"No wonder I felt that you were deliberately leading us here along the way—I thought you had something to take care of, so I followed along to join in the fun. Who knew that you were actually sent to take up the post..."
Yin Qi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, sighed solemnly, and didn't ask any more questions, just lowered his head and ate the food steadily.Unexpectedly, he had just picked up a chopstick and put the shredded pork in the bowl, and before he had time to pick up the rice, Xie Cilu and Zhang Boxing threw their chopsticks and got up together, and suddenly they slapped their sleeves and knelt on the ground, and Xie Cilu Stepping up half a step forward, he said sincerely: "Don't hide from Lord Wu——Shandong really needs help from Lord Wu. That's why I asked Mr. Shi to guide you here, and Lord Wu to listen to me."
Seeing their reaction, Yin Qi was not surprised at all, he just put down his chopsticks and chuckled lightly: "That's it, if you have anything to say, just talk about it. Both of you are important ministers of the court, so there's no need to do such a big thing to me." The etiquette - this time I am here for inspection, and the two adults are looking for me, but is it because of Qiu Wei?"
The two looked at each other and got up according to the words, with some determination in each other's eyes.Xie Cilu sat back beside Yinqi, took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it to him, and then narrated it in a low voice. It was true that the fraud in Shandong Qiuwei was prevalent, and the ranking was known before it was released. , and there are countless cheating methods secretly spread, stirring up the examination room into a mess.Although Yinqi had expected it, he didn't expect that even the governor and the inspector could not take care of this kind of thing. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said in doubt: "The two adults are in high positions, and they are the governors of a province. Can't do these things?"
"Officials and officials protect each other, and they are also wealthy gentry. The connections are extremely complicated. Both of us are lonely officials, and we are taking the imperial examination route. We have neither family background nor background. It is really difficult to eradicate this evil of the imperial examination."
Xie Cilu smiled wryly, his expression was a little moved, and he looked at Yin Qicheng and said: "Fifth Master, this imperial examination was originally a way for the poor to make progress, but now it has been firmly controlled by the rich and noble. Ten years of hard study is less than one ingot of red gold. The students are full of grief and indignation and have nowhere to confide. Some people even secretly changed the word "Gongyuan" on the wooden sign to "sold out". The current situation... please help Fifth Master!"
"I see."
Yin Qi nodded slightly, but he couldn't help being a little startled in his heart - he only thought that the way in the examination room was at best pointing and walking through the back door, but he didn't know until now that these people were so rampant and unscrupulous.Left and right he also carried the title of inspector, so it’s fine if he didn’t see it, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he naturally couldn’t ignore it: “It’s just——since they have the guts to do such a secret thing, they must have countless ways to cover it up. If adults do not have solid evidence in their hands, it may be difficult to deal with it."
Shi Shilun listened for a long while, and suddenly his eyes brightened and said: "They are hiding from officials and censors, but they are not candidates who are seeking fame and fame—why don't the fifth master also pretend to be a candidate and experience it for himself?"
"..." Yinqi didn't want to go into the examination room and stay there for nine days at all. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head and said, "This rural examination is simply not for human beings. There are three rounds of nine days and seven nights. If I'm locked up again, Huang Ama really knows how to kill people..."
"How dare you ask Master Wu to really take the exam in there, anyway, you can't pass the exam—"
Shi Shilun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but he felt that something was wrong after he just said one sentence, met Yin Qi's somewhat ambiguous stare, coughed lightly, and immediately changed his words politely: "No, I mean, you are an inspector , how could they be locked together in that examination room..."
"Brother—what should we do? They've already prepared everything, and the money has been collected, so there's no time to regret it now!"
As soon as he was about to go to court, Elder Brother Shi hurried to the starling's house, rubbing his hands anxiously and circling back and forth.Yinhu was so dizzy from being entangled, he sat down in the chair by pressing him, and then he calmed down and said: "What's the hurry, it's not like this is guaranteed to be investigated, according to Brother Wu's temperament, it's hard to say whether he doesn't care about it—— Where are your disciples, are there any in Jiangnan?"
"No, how dare you touch Jiangnan?"
Yin'e was taken aback, and shook his head in desperate denial.It's just that he, the starling, dared to go to the south of the Yangtze River to fortify the people, and he was forced to return one, and finally there was one Su He and one An Zhongren. Who knew that in just a few months, Su He committed suicide and An Zhong Jen disappeared as a result.Even if he didn't have a brain, he didn't have the guts, and he didn't dare to touch Fifth Brother's Ni Lin, who is unlucky to touch.
"Then it doesn't matter. He won't take care of other places except Jiangnan. At most, he will go down and go around to deal with business."
Yinhu heaved a sigh of relief, poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, and said with a meaningful smile: "As long as you get the fifth brother's temperament right, many things are not so difficult to do—you just remember that he is fierce and resolute. It's time to be decisive. That's because he either doesn't move, or there is a big movement. He is actually more unwilling to cause trouble than anyone else.

Ba Fujin came out from the back room, glanced at the water stains on the teapot and teacup, and showed some impatient disgust in his eyes: "Come on, take out all these things and reward them. A new set is coming."

-
"I still can't figure it out, why there is still such a job as patrol inspections—has it ever happened before?"
The fifth elder brother, who was held in the palm of his hand and spoiled since he was a child, has just been packed and thrown out of the capital by his royal ama. He is standing on the border of Zhili with a blank face, feeling that the future of the world is boundless, and he doesn't know it for a while.

There is an endless stream of candidates who come to take the exam every year, but it is only a little worse than the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the largest autumn palace in the northern provinces. Gongyuan, the few people didn't intend to go any further, and just stopped at the governor's mansion in Shandong.
Xie Cilu, governor of Shandong Province, is a pure scholar who has reached this level step by step by taking the imperial examinations, and still treats people with the reserved and polite that is unique to a scholarly family.Yinqi had just arrived in Jinan Mansion, and he was welcomed to rest at the mansion, and he personally prepared meals, took care of everything with all his heart, but he didn't see half of the flattery, it seemed that someone had already explained it, just follow the steps It seems to follow suit, but it also has a bit of the pedantic and cuteness that is unique to scholars.

Shi Shilun sat with Yin Qi at the banquet, introduced with a light smile, then turned to the square-eyed middle-aged man sitting next to Xie Cilu, and continued with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhang Boxing, the procuratorate of Shandong Province. ——Speaking of which, the fifth master should know him too, he also served as the governor of Jiangsu for a year."
It is obviously not an honorable thing for the governor to be transferred to the inspector.Yinqi has dealt with useless officials during the purge of Jiangnan in recent years, but for a moment he couldn't remember when Zhang Boxing was brought down by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.He coughed lightly to cover it up, and greeted with a slight nod of tea instead of wine: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Student Zhang Boxing, thank the old fifth master for his kindness."
Before Xie Cilu could respond, Zhang Boxing suddenly got up solemnly, held a wine glass and bowed respectfully to Yinqi, and then drank the wine in the glass: "In the past, the students were in Jiangsu Province, and they only knew one thing. Seeking the name of being clean and honest, but lacking the talent for politics, so that the law and order under the rule are chaotic, and the cases pile up, but they are still complacent and unaware.

Hearing what he said, Yinqi finally remembered this confused and upright official who once gave him a headache.This Zhang Bo is really honest and upright, and he is not afraid of the rich and powerful. He was even praised by Huang Ama personally as "Bohang's conduct is the best in the world". Be a governor.Unexpectedly, although such an upright official has good morals, he has no political talents, and his temperament is somewhat paranoid and harsh.He endured this Zhang Boxing for more than a year, and finally packed him up and threw him out of Jiangnan Province, but he didn't pay attention to where he went afterwards.
"Your Majesty Zhang speaks too seriously - the ancients said 'cultivating the body, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world', this self-cultivation is still in the first place. Your Excellency is upright in nature, honest and self-sustaining as an official, which is enough to be admired. It can be sharpened and grown, but this nature cannot be changed.”
Yinqi smiled lightly, raised his hand across the table to give a little support, and then chuckled and joked warmly: "The things in the past were just to seek his own government in his position. I was ordered to be in charge of the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River. My lord is the governor of Jiangsu. Only then did some entanglements arise. Now that my lord has been transferred to Shandong as the procurator, the one who should worry about it is naturally the governor Xie lord, but I can't control it at all..."
Zhang Boxing's nature has always been upright and prudent, and he knew in his heart that he had done something wrong, so he naturally didn't have the slightest resentment towards Yin Qi, he bent down and said yes seriously, and then sat back in a well-behaved manner.Yinqi looked at the governor and pressed the envoy, and felt that it was really interesting to have such two nerds with similar temperaments in a province, and suddenly couldn't help but have a strong feeling for the remaining chief envoy of the Trinity. curious.I really can't think of what kind of person I am, who can not only smooth over these two bosses and colleagues at all levels in Beijing who are not provoked by their temperament, but also live in harmony with them all the time, without being overwhelmed by these two pedantic The disciple of the saint was so angry that he shook his sleeves and quit: "I only saw two adults today, but I don't know who is the chief envoy of our province. Why is it not at the table?"
Unexpectedly, it would be better if he didn't ask, but after this question, everyone suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, even Xie Cilu, who has always been gentle and refined, couldn't help coughing in guilt, and hesitated for a moment Cai said: "If you go back to the prince, the chief envoy—in fact, it's also on the table..."
"..." Yinqi felt stunned and speechless for a moment, and carefully looked at the people at the table, not counting Xie Cilu and Zhang Boxing, and besides himself and Tanlang, it seemed that there was only one left Option: "Master Shi——you are quite busy..."
"Thanks to the grace, I am really ashamed, ashamed..."
Shi Shilun chuckled in embarrassment, and his eyes couldn't help wandering around guiltily—he actually came here to take office this time.After all, this chief envoy is from the second rank, at the same level as the governor, and can be regarded as a feudal official. He is much stronger than his third rank, Shuntian Fu Yin, who is always facing the threat of sending Ninggu Pagoda to plant trees. On the one hand, it was a reward for running errands for the plague this time, and on the other hand, it was also a move to cooperate with the Long Live Lord in Beijing.I didn't expect to be able to hide the fifth master, but I didn't expect this master with a clear mind to come up and ask the chief envoy, telling him to find a room for relaxation, but he couldn't ease it, so he could only insist on it. Scalp admitted it.
"No wonder I felt that you were deliberately leading us here along the way—I thought you had something to take care of, so I followed along to join in the fun. Who knew that you were actually sent to take up the post..."
Yin Qi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, sighed solemnly, and didn't ask any more questions, just lowered his head and ate the food steadily.Unexpectedly, he had just picked up a chopstick and put the shredded pork in the bowl, and before he had time to pick up the rice, Xie Cilu and Zhang Boxing threw their chopsticks and got up together, and suddenly they slapped their sleeves and knelt on the ground, and Xie Cilu Stepping up half a step forward, he said sincerely: "Don't hide from Lord Wu——Shandong really needs help from Lord Wu. That's why I asked Mr. Shi to guide you here, and Lord Wu to listen to me."
Seeing their reaction, Yin Qi was not surprised at all, he just put down his chopsticks and chuckled lightly: "That's it, if you have anything to say, just talk about it. Both of you are important ministers of the court, so there's no need to do such a big thing to me." The etiquette - this time I am here for inspection, and the two adults are looking for me, but is it because of Qiu Wei?"
The two looked at each other and got up according to the words, with some determination in each other's eyes.Xie Cilu sat back beside Yinqi, took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it to him, and then narrated it in a low voice. It was true that the fraud in Shandong Qiuwei was prevalent, and the ranking was known before it was released. , and there are countless cheating methods secretly spread, stirring up the examination room into a mess.Although Yinqi had expected it, he didn't expect that even the governor and the inspector could not take care of this kind of thing. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said in doubt: "The two adults are in high positions, and they are the governors of a province. Can't do these things?"
"Officials and officials protect each other, and they are also wealthy gentry. The connections are extremely complicated. Both of us are lonely officials, and we are taking the imperial examination route. We have neither family background nor background. It is really difficult to eradicate this evil of the imperial examination."
Xie Cilu smiled wryly, his expression was a little moved, and he looked at Yin Qicheng and said: "Fifth Master, this imperial examination was originally a way for the poor to make progress, but now it has been firmly controlled by the rich and noble. Ten years of hard study is less than one ingot of red gold. The students are full of grief and indignation and have nowhere to confide. Some people even secretly changed the word "Gongyuan" on the wooden sign to "sold out". The current situation... please help Fifth Master!"
"I see."
Yin Qi nodded slightly, but he couldn't help being a little startled in his heart - he only thought that the way in the examination room was at best pointing and walking through the back door, but he didn't know until now that these people were so rampant and unscrupulous.Left and right he also carried the title of inspector, so it’s fine if he didn’t see it, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he naturally couldn’t ignore it: “It’s just——since they have the guts to do such a secret thing, they must have countless ways to cover it up. If adults do not have solid evidence in their hands, it may be difficult to deal with it."
Shi Shilun listened for a long while, and suddenly his eyes brightened and said: "They are hiding from officials and censors, but they are not candidates who are seeking fame and fame—why don't the fifth master also pretend to be a candidate and experience it for himself?"
"..." Yinqi didn't want to go into the examination room and stay there for nine days at all. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head and said, "This rural examination is simply not for human beings. There are three rounds of nine days and seven nights. If I'm locked up again, Huang Ama really knows how to kill people..."
"How dare you ask Master Wu to really take the exam in there, anyway, you can't pass the exam—"
Shi Shilun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, but he felt that something was wrong after he just said one sentence, met Yin Qi's somewhat ambiguous stare, coughed lightly, and immediately changed his words politely: "No, I mean, you are an inspector , how could they be locked together in that examination room..."
