The Zhuangyuan Building was built under the Hanshan Temple in Xishan, outside the capital. In the three-story building, there was a burst of applause from time to time.

Seeing Meng Zezhi and others approaching, one of the servants guarding the entrance of the Zhuangyuan Building immediately said, "My lord, there is a literary conference being held here, do you have an invitation card?"

The other boy's expression changed, he obviously recognized Meng Zezhi: "Fourth, fourth young master?"

The two nurses made a decisive decision, and directly stepped forward and waved away the two servants, making way for Meng Zezhi.

Seeing this, Meng Zezhi immediately lifted his robe and rushed in.

The two servants immediately shouted: "What do you want to do?"

"Come on people!"

……

There was really too much movement downstairs, and all the students who were immersed in the discussion all looked towards the stairs at the same time.

Then I saw Meng Zezhi rushing up.

Most of them did not know Meng Zezhi.

Until Qi Tingwen lost his voice: "Fourth brother, why are you here? Aren't you recuperating at home?"

Fourth brother?

Isn't Qi Tingwen's fourth brother the eldest son of the late Yongcheng Hou, the Qi Tingye who cheated in the examination room but was let go by the current emperor?

The faces of the several referees present immediately changed.

Because they have been officials for seven or eight years or even more than ten years, and this time they were invited by the Huai'an Marquis Mansion to host this literary meeting, so they naturally knew something about the affairs of the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

They were a little surprised at first, since Qi Tingye seemed to have no news since returning to Beijing, they didn't expect to appear here now.

Especially Song Yushi, who has always been unable to rub the sand in his eyes, immediately scolded: "This is not the place you should come."

The expressions of the students who learned about Meng Zezhi's identity from their companions also changed.

All of a sudden, countless contemptuous eyes fell on Meng Zezhi.

Qi Xuewen immediately stepped forward to hold Meng Zezhi: "Fourth brother, let me take you back!"

Meng Zezhi directly waved Qi Xuewen's hand away, and then he lifted up his robe and knelt down directly.

Because of running all the way, his already pale face turned even paler, but his eyes were full of determination: "My lord, the students never cheated."

This Song Yushi is surprisingly the one who helped his predecessor to rehabilitate in the original plot.

At first, I thought that Meng Zezhi didn't know good or bad when he waved Qi Xuewen away, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Meng Zezhi had already prepared a draft in his heart, so before everyone reacted, he continued: "May I ask if anyone here saw me cheating with their own eyes?"

Song Yushi frowned. Indeed, the matter of Qi Tingye's fraud in the examination room has always been just a natural guess, and there is no real evidence.

But maybe the current emperor destroyed the evidence in private in order to protect Qi Tingye.

So when someone said, "Then how do you prove that you didn't cheat?"

Meng Zezhi only looked at Song Yushi and the others: "I swear by my father's spirit in heaven, if what I say is half false, I will die a terrible death."

"So please give me a chance to prove myself."

The surroundings fell silent in an instant.

As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, and they never thought that Meng Zezhi would dare to swear by the spirit of the late Marquis of Yongcheng, so for a while, everyone's hearts could not help but favor Meng Zezhi.

They all looked at Song Yushi and the others.

I saw one of them, surnamed Gu Hanlin, stroking the beard on his chin, and said: "The Marquis of Yongcheng died to save the current emperor. His loyalty to the emperor is a model for my generation. I don't want to believe that Marquis of Yongcheng will be the next It's better to give him a chance for a dog like a dog."

Hearing this, Song Yushi looked at Meng Zezhi and said, "Okay."

Meng Zezhi was ecstatic: "Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Song Hanlin immediately asked: "What should we compete next?"

Another Hanlin said: "Si Shuwen, it's Brother Lin's turn to come up with the questions."

The Lin Hanlin who was named thought for a while, and only said: "All students, please listen to the questions."

Everyone cheered up immediately.

Lin Hanlin: "People with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no one who seeks to live to harm benevolence, but one who kills to achieve benevolence."

This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius, and the idiom "kill one's life and become benevolent" comes from this sentence.

Meng Zezhi pretended to be surprised, and then impatiently picked up the brush.

Because this question was done by the predecessor, and the article was specially included in the manuscript that was going to be publicized.

Seeing Meng Zezhi writing like flying, Qi Tingwen couldn't help but sneered.

However, it was not Meng Zezhi who finished writing first, because all the people present were well-read poems and books. It can be said that almost all the questions in the four books have been done. The article is directly written silently.

So after only a quarter of an hour, everyone finished writing.

But by this time, the focus of this essay meeting was no longer on the competition among the students, but on whether Meng Zezhi could prove himself.

So Song Yushi directly picked out Meng Zezhi's article.

Meng Zezhi's solution to the problem is: "A sage is one who has a master in his heart, and he determines the ability of his heart and virtue."

Song Yushi read it directly, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

When the others heard it, they couldn't help but be enthralled.

"...There is no opportunity for rationality and desire to stand side by side, and those who are deadly and determined to secure the chastity of the world, even though they die, they will feel regretful..."

At the end of the reading, Song Yushi couldn't help but said; "Well, well, well written, well written, it's been a long time since I saw such an amazing and beautiful article."

Then he reluctantly put down the article.

It wasn't until his eyes fell on Meng Zezhi whose face turned rosy because of excitement after hearing his words, that he realized that this article was written by Qi Tingye.

This article was actually written by Qi Tingye?

The air was quiet for a moment.

Until someone murmured: "That is to say, Qi Tingye has real talent and learning, then he cheated in the imperial examination..."

Someone subconsciously continued: "Perhaps the cheating in the imperial examination is true, but he has been studying hard for the past five years, so..."

Only halfway through, he couldn't continue.

Because the people present are not stupid, if they can write such amazing and brilliant articles in five years, then their 20 years of studying hard is simply a joke, because the articles they have written are not even half of this article.

What's more, they have also heard from Qi Tingwen that Qi Tingye's health has collapsed since the death of Marquis Yongcheng, and he will be seriously ill every few days. With him like this, how can he have the time and energy to study hard.

So the answer is self-evident.

Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at Meng Zezhi changed.

Song Yushi couldn't care less about the Wenhui, he immediately said: "I'll write an excerpt now, in front of the emperor, and return your innocence."

Meng Zezhi brewed for a while, and his eyes soon turned red: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

"Lord Song, wait a minute."

It was Gu Hanlin who spoke for Meng Zezhi before, and he held the article written by Meng Zezhi in his hand. I think it's better for me to ask another question to try Qi Tingye's true level."

Song Yushi calmed down and felt that what Gu Hanlin said made sense.

So he turned to look at Meng Zezhi: "What do you think?"

Meng Zezhi's eyes were piercing, and he just said, "My lord, please come up with a question."

"it is good."

Gu Hanlin immediately said: "Then make a five-character and eight-rhyme poem on the topic of persuading farmers and mulberry."

Five-character and eight-rhyme poems are also compulsory subjects in the examination.

I happened to write a poem to persuade Nong Sang in my predecessor, and it was also included in that poem manuscript.

So Meng Zezhi's eyes lit up again, and he picked up his pen and began to write.

The students around immediately gathered around: "Fu De Dun Su persuades Nong Sang."

"Ploughing and weaving make great achievements, farming mulberry and phoenix command warmth... push the four winds to clear the rice, and reeling in March is full of pots... thousands of years of food and clothing, longevity and prosperity."

Everyone tasted it carefully, and then couldn't help applauding: "Okay, it's a good sentence to push the four winds to clear the wind, and the three moons are full of pots. Melting emotions into the scene, drawing shapes and colors, comparable to quatrains."

Therefore, all of a sudden, everyone looked at Meng Zezhi with a little more admiration.

The fact that things have come to this point is enough to show that Qi Tingye has real talent and learning, not to mention that he is only in his early twenties this year.

Thinking of what happened to Qi Tingye, everyone couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

At this moment, behind everyone, a surprised voice suddenly came: "Tingye, did you make this poem?"

Everyone looked back, but it was not the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou.

She looked surprised, and then all turned into surprise.

When Qi Xuewen saw him, he immediately said, "Madam, Second Uncle, Second Aunt...why are you here?"

In addition to the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou, the second child Qi Jianjing and his wife followed behind.

As for Qi Jianxian and Qi Tingyi, they should have just stepped down from court right now.

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an said with a smile: "Isn't this just coming down from Hanshan Temple to worship the Buddha? When I passed by, I remembered that you were holding a literary meeting here, so I stopped by to have a look."

Meng Zezhi pretended to change his expression.Done.

However, in the next second, another serious voice came from behind: "Old lady, I'm afraid it's too early to draw conclusions at this time."

what?

Everyone turned their heads again.

It was not Gu Hanlin who spoke.

He said: "Qi Tingye, let me ask you, is this poem really written by you?"

Meng Zezhi immediately said: "This is natural."

"Humph."

Unexpectedly, Song Yushi, who was still very happy, also changed his face at this time.

Everyone was also confused.

Gu Hanlin was very angry: "You did this? This is clearly a poem left by my father."

what?

Everyone was shocked.

Meng Zezhi was even more stunned.

Even someone explained: "Isn't Gu Hanlin's father the former Huagaidian University scholar Gu Gelao?"

Gu Hanlin said sharply: "My father passed away six years ago, and he had been living in seclusion in Shenyang before. Last year, I went back to my hometown to pay respects to my father. Because of my junior's playfulness, my house caught fire. Later, when I was cleaning my father's study, I found my father. Some of the many manuscripts left by my father have been burned, and some are only half left. In order to commemorate my father, I want to sort out those manuscripts that are still intact and publish them in a book."

"But just now I saw this sentence in an article written by Qi Tingye."

Gu Hanlin pointed to that article and said: "There is no opportunity for reason and desire to stand side by side, and those who are fatal and follow their ambitions to secure the world will be regretful even after death. This is clearly my father's article, but because the article was Most of it was burned, so it couldn't be printed, but because this sentence was written so delicately, I firmly remembered it."

"So when I saw this sentence in this article, I was shocked, so I specially came up with a topic of persuading Nongsang."

"Because there is such a poem in the manuscript left by my father."

"In the end, you were really fooled and copied this poem directly.

Song Hanlin's face was ashen, he took a book directly from the desk behind him, then turned to a certain page, and then threw it in front of Meng Zezhi: "This is a book that was just published yesterday. Bring it to me."

Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that it was written on that page: "Fu De Dun Su persuades Nong Sang...".

Whoa!

The crowd was in an uproar.

One is the old man who has been famous for a long time, and the other is a dude who is suspected of cheating in the examination room. In just a moment, the balance in everyone's heart directly tilted towards Gu Hanlin.

The ins and outs of the matter are already very clear.

Obviously, Qi Tingye is indeed an idiot, but he did not know where he got Gu Gelao's manuscripts, so he tried to use these manuscripts to clear him of the crime of fraud in the examination room, but unexpectedly, he happened to bump into these poem manuscripts The original owner's family is in the hands of Gu Hanlin.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes on Meng Zezhi changed again.

"No wonder, if Qi Tingye is really well-versed in poetry and books, why didn't he defend himself at that time, but why did he wait until now to jump out."

"It's no wonder Qi Tingye is so young, but the articles he writes are so sophisticated. It turns out that he stole the articles of Gu Gelao."

"Fortunately, he still dares to swear by Xianyongchenghou's spirit in heaven, and he is not afraid that Xianyongchenghou will be so angry that he will jump out of the coffin."

……

Meng Zezhi reacted and trembled all over: "Impossible, this is obviously, this is obviously me..."

But the one who couldn't be held down by the coffin board must be that old Gu Ge. He must have never imagined that Gu Hanlin found himself another father within a few years of his death.

After all, Gu Hanlin said that these poems were written by his father.

However, the voice of the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou directly overshadowed his voice: "This, how is this possible?"

"Gu Hanlin, did you make a mistake?"

Song Yushi's face was particularly ugly, because he was almost played by Qi Tingye in the applause, and because Qi Tingye's actions stepped on his bottom line.

"Old lady, the evidence is conclusive. Could it be that we are the ones who slandered Qi Tingye?"

Gu Hanlin also said: "Whether Qi Tingye has this ability, I think you should know better than us."

The old Huai'an Hou Madam fell silent for a moment.

But she quickly realized, she gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice: "Thousands of mistakes, it's all because of my lax discipline, and please ask a few adults to make a lot of it, don't spread this matter out, I will definitely be strict with him in the future discipline..."

Meng Zezhi admired their performance. Seriously, with this acting skills, if they wear to modern times one day, they will definitely be able to connect seamlessly and make their debut directly.

But Song Yushi didn't want to interrupt her directly: "It's absolutely impossible, I think today's essay meeting will end here."

Then, he turned his head to look at Meng Zezhi: "You really lost the face of the Marquis of Xianyong."

After all, he walked away.

The other three Hanlin immediately followed.

"Do not……"

Meng Zezhi panicked and was about to catch up immediately.

But in the next second, Qi Tingwen grabbed him violently, then directly covered his mouth with all his strength, and said on his mouth: "Fourth brother, I beg you, please stop making trouble..."

Qi Tingwen was strong and strong, but Meng Ze knew where his opponent was, so he couldn't say anything right now.

Therefore, all the students present did not doubt him, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and then left one after another.

Soon, only the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou, Qi Tingwen, Qi Jianjing and his wife and a group of servant girls were left in the entire Zhuangyuan building.

Only then did Qi Tingwen let go of Meng Zezhi.

Meng Zezhi looked desperate, he wanted to catch up, but gave up after a few steps.

Because it is too late to catch up even now.

Seeing this, the Qi family couldn't help laughing.

As long as these people returned to the city, everyone would know that Qi Tingye did not hesitate to copy Gu Ge's article in order to clear his name of cheating in the imperial examination, but in the end he was caught by Gu Hanlin.

After all, Song Yushi is the leading figure in Qingliu at the moment. If these things are said from his mouth, it is a golden rule, and no one will doubt it.

Qi Tingye's reputation is over, so is Qi Tingye!

Because in the future, even if he makes the best articles, others will only think that he copied them.

At this moment, Meng Zezhi suddenly raised his head: "You did it on purpose, this is all your setup?"

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has seen the Qi family since he came here.

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an was indeed very resourceful, and it was not wrong for her father and son to fall into her hands.

As soon as this happened, his reputation was ruined.

Second, as long as he has appeared in front of others, no one will suspect that the Qi family imprisoned Qi Tingye.

Third, after the Qi family gets rid of this crisis, they can deal with him directly. The excuses are all ready-made, such as because of the matter of the Wenhui, he was depressed and died of illness.

Although the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou is senior, she is not very old. In addition, she got married relatively early, and she is actually less than 50 years old this year.

She is in a good mood today: "Isn't this an obvious thing?"

Although she had read books, she hadn't read much of Qi Tingye's poems, so she only remembered one of the manuscripts that Qi Tingye promoted in her previous life, "Fu De Dun Su Advises Nong Sang".

But that's enough.

For this day, from the day she was reborn, she began to plan.

"puff."

Hearing this, Meng Zezhi spat out a mouthful of blood, then knelt down on the ground.

The wife of the second son, Qi Jianjing, Mrs. Xing, saw her, and couldn't help but sneered: "If you were honest, you might live a few more years, but you want to kill yourself, and who can blame you?"

In fact, the father and son of the Xing family and Qi Tingye have had a long-standing grievance.

When the Xing family was young, Qi Jianzhong fell in love at first sight, but Qi Jianzhong didn't like her, but fell in love with her deadly enemy. Later, she married Qi Jianjing in a fit of anger. You will be able to dominate Qi Jianzhong's family for the rest of your life.

As a result, the three brothers of the Qi family took the imperial examination together. Qi Jianzhong passed the Juren exam in one go, but Qi Jianjing failed in the Tongsheng exam. The most important thing is that he has a bad temper and likes to beat people whenever things go wrong.

Xing Shi recorded all these on Qi Jianzhong.

Later, it was the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an who made the move and ended Qi Jianzhong's imperial examination path.

It didn't take long for her to be happy, Qi Jianzhong became the late emperor's confidant because of Long Zhigong, with a bright future, his wife also became the fourth-rank imperial order, just ahead of her, because her husband was only the second son of the Hou family, Relying on the protection of his ancestors, he got the official position of Wailang, a member of the Fourth Grade Rites Department.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qi Jianzhong to die because of rescuing him. Under the operation of the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou, the title he risked his life for also fell to her son Qi Tingyi.

So whether it was to keep the title or because she hated Qi Jianzhong's family, she hoped that Qi Tingye would die sooner than anyone else.

Meng Zezhi heard it, and it was really a nest of snakes and rats.

Then he has nothing to worry about.

He clenched his fists and stared at the Qi family: "I will never let you go even if I am a ghost."

Hearing this, Qi Jian Jingle said: "Come here, we'll wait, it's best to bring your dead father with you, so that you can see how well our family is living with your family's title ,Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Meng Zezhi was about to burst into tears, and then he seemed to think of it, and suddenly laughed.

Qi Jianjing couldn't laugh immediately: "What are you laughing at?"

Meng Zezhi only said: "Laugh at you stupid, your family? Hahaha..."

Qi Jianjing frowned, and said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Meng Zezhi looked at Qi Jianjing: "Don't you wonder why Qi Tingyi is so smart while you are so stupid?"

"Also, why do you think Qi Jianxian gave up the title of Marquis of Yongcheng to your second wife so generously?"

"Although his house also has the title of Marquis of Huai'an, when his son Qi Tingwen inherits it, he will only be an earl, but your son is still a marquis, let alone with the title of Marquis of Yongcheng, Qi Tingyi has now entered the court to participate in politics. He has reached the fourth grade at a young age, but Qi Tingwen is still a white body, so would he be so kind to help you raise his son?"

The expression on Qi Jianjing's face froze.

Meng Zezhi said directly: "Are you sure Qi Tingyi is your son? Do you dare to talk about your family?"

As soon as these words came out, all the Qi family present were stunned.

It was Xing who was the first to react: "Little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"

As she spoke, she raised her foot and was about to kick Meng Zezhi.

Meng Zezhi looked at Qi Jianjing and said, "Aren't you curious whose son Qi Tingyi is?"

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an immediately said: "What nonsense are you talking about, come..."

Hearing this, Qi Jianjing's face immediately changed.

No man can tolerate being cuckolded.

He slapped Xing's face directly: "Get out of here."

Xing slammed into the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou, and the two fell directly to the ground.Things happened so fast that no one could react at all.

Then Qi Jianjing fixed his eyes on Meng Zezhi, and said angrily, "Tell me, what do you really know?"

Meng Zezhi: "When I was five years old, I saw Qi Jianxian and Mrs. Xing having an affair in the small garden with my own eyes."

Qi Tingwen said subconsciously: "You are talking nonsense——"

After all, Qi Jianxian is his father, so of course he has to defend him.

Meng Zezhi: "I also saw Qi Jianxian has a big scab on his stomach, and Xingshi has three moles on his buttocks."

Hearing this, Xing Shi, who finally got up from the ground, was stunned.

In the next second, Qi Jianjing kicked her with a furious face: "Bitch..."

Seeing this, Meng Zezhi added: "By the way, don't use blood drops to test whether you and Qi Tingyi are biological father and son, because it's not allowed at all. If you don't believe it, you can also use Qi Tingyi's blood to have sex with other people." Give it a try."

Then he passed out contentedly. After all, if he didn't faint at this time, he would definitely be affected in a while.

Sure enough, the scene immediately became chaotic, and the Qi family was no longer as proud as before.

"Quick, pull him away quickly."

"Bitch, I'll kill you"

"Second Uncle, don't do this, ah!"

……

When Meng Zezhi woke up again, he had already returned to Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

Liang Shengshen poured him a cup of tea: "Teacher."

Meng Zezhi took it and took two sips: "How is the situation?"

Liang Xingshen: "Both Xingshi and Qi Tingwen were beaten to death by Qi Jianjing, I don't know about the others."

Then he couldn't help asking: "Teacher, you can write an essay on the spot today to prove your strength, why did you step into the trap of the Qi family?"

Because he has followed Meng Zezhi for so long, of course he knows that Meng Zezhi's actual level is much higher than the manuscripts he wrote today.

Meng Zezhi put down the tea bowl: "You think the Qi family didn't take precautions against this, the Qi family is not stupid, I found out as soon as I entered, the so-called literary meeting, except for the Song Yushi and a few scholars, The rest of the people were all arranged by the Qi family in advance, the Zhuangyuan Building is so far away from the capital, if things deviate from the Qi family's expectations, it's just a censor, do you think they dare to kill people to silence them?"

Liang Xingshen also wentssip a little: "Then about Qi Jianxian's adultery with Mrs. Xing?"

Meng Zezhi smiled: "Fake."

Since the Qi family wanted to put a shit bowl on his head, if he didn't take it back, he would be sorry for himself for cooperating with them in so many plays today.

And don't forget that he is a bad guy, it's easy to calculate some characteristics.

"But obviously, they believed it."

Liang Shengshen: "..."

You even told the private story of where they have moles, can they not believe it? "

Even he believed it at first.

"The Qi family may not be at peace these days."

Meng Zezhi said, "No."
