Crossing the Datang Restaurant

In the front yard of Dali Temple, dozens of candidates were crowded and chatting with each other. After a while, someone brought them in for interrogation. Rong Yushu stood in front, and it would be his turn soon. Let's go Entered a side courtyard of Dali Temple.

Compared with the main hall, it is less majestic and domineering, but more meticulous and rigorous, because there are too many suspects in this move, and each one needs to be comprehensive, so the waiting time is a little longer.

Others didn't know, but when it was Rong Yushu's turn, he simply asked about what happened after arriving in Chang'an, including who he met, what parties he attended, and who he had the best friendship with, all of which needed to be explained in detail.

Rong Yushu confessed honestly, half-truths and half-false, and said it together. Seeing the person in front of him keep writing on the paper, he always felt more careless. After asking some more questions, he then With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Okay, you can go back."

Rong Yushu was taken aback by speaking so easily, and said in disbelief, "I'm leaving just like that? Don't I need to be locked up in prison first?" Looking at some of the moves, some of them were full of hair. Sweating came out, and some came out at all. After questioning, I found out that it was all because of suspicion, so I had to lock them up first, and then tortured them in detail.

The man looked at him in surprise, and said with some amusement: "Why, it seems that you really want to go to prison for a while?"

Rong Yushu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Of course not, but I don't understand why those people are."

There are three people in charge of interrogation, one is in charge of asking questions, another is in charge of recording, and the other is the one in the middle who is also the interrogator.

The fat man who was in charge of recording was a little impatient, and raised his head and said, "Just leave as soon as you are told. Where did all this nonsense come from? Others can't leave even if they want to."

With a slight smile on his face, the person in the middle waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Hey, actually, you can ask Tang Shaoqing about this matter, he definitely knows more than us."

Listening to what he said, I thought how good his relationship with Tang Guang was.Although the relationship between the two of them is indeed good, the fat man next to him thought that his ears had misheard, and said, "Hey, you kid is right."

Rong Yushu asked in surprise, "Do you know me?"

The thin man in the middle shrugged his shoulders and said: "I met you once in the backyard of Dali Temple before, and you must not remember it. Come on, you, we are busy here, so we don't have time to explain to you. Wait until then Waiting for Tang Shaoqing to come back, you can look for him again." Also, there are so many people outside, and Rong Yushu's delay was too long, he walked out, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said: "Tang Shaoqing Aren't you in Dali Temple?" Obviously just saw him just now.

The thin man didn't know why Rong Yushu asked such a question, but he still replied: "Of course I'm not in Dali Temple anymore. I received the news in the morning and went out to arrest people. I haven't come back yet."

Oh, Rong Yushu nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned and walked out.

There are some gestures outside, some are calm and composed, and some are muttering, with different expressions. Rong Yushu just glanced around a little, without paying too much attention, looking at Zheng Zhide who was alone on the side, His face was pale, if he saw Rong Yushu normally, he would have jumped up long ago, standing alone, his eyes kept scanning the front, like a frightened mouse.

Anyway, there was no business for him, Rong Yushu walked over slowly, walked in front of him, deliberately let him see his existence.

Zheng Zhide looked up along his feet, and easily saw him standing in front of him, his face turned pale, and he said calmly: "Brother Zheng, what a coincidence, we came together like this. "

Zheng Zhide probably didn't want to argue with him too much, but Rong Yushu sighed and said: "Hey, I just came out just now, and the people inside are really miserable. Do you know that Dali Temple treats those disobedient People, they still use lynching.”

Upon hearing about this incident, Zheng Zhide's face became even darker. Rong Yushu walked in with a smile, and continued: "I heard that there are many people involved in this case, and several cases have been arrested. If you are arrested If it’s too heavy, it’s good that you can’t take the imperial examination for life, if it’s more serious, you’ll be beheaded.”

Rong Yushu watched Zheng Zhide's face turn pale with satisfaction, approached with satisfaction and said, "Then, tell me now, did Chun Wei's test questions leak from you?" Seeing Zheng Zhide's complexion change , and then said: "You shouldn't say that, you probably don't have this ability, but you should have a share, right?"

Zheng Zhide looked left and right, and Rong Yushu's smile was filled with guilt, and he said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand at all."

"It's fine if you don't understand, but for the sake of your fellow countryman, I kindly remind you that if you are lying, don't look so pale and don't tremble when you speak, otherwise, it will be easy to be spotted." Rong Yu On paper, the smile had a deep meaning, but in his heart, he covered up the turmoil and walked out.

He didn't have time to pay attention to Zheng Zhide's performance later on. When he got home, Brother Ming hurried over, helped Rong Yushu in, and asked, "Master, are you all right?"

The smile on Rong Yushu's face was a bit forced, and he walked into the room, even Uncle Wu came to care, but he was not in the mood at all, he prevaricated a few words casually, and then returned to the study.

Maybe it was because he could see that he was not in a particularly good mood. Although Brother Ming showed some worry in his eyes, he didn't bother him. In the study room, the slanting sunlight came in from the window, lingering on a circle of light on the ground, the desk In the censer in front of him, the burning spices calmed the restless heart a lot.

Brother Ming put a cup of tea on the desk, and when he was about to go out, Rong Yushu stopped him and asked, "Brother Ming, did Tang Shaoqing come after I left?"

Brother Ming thought for a while, then shook his head. Speaking of this matter, he was also a little strange. He clearly saw Tang Shaoqing come in in the morning, but why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?

There was some worry in his heart. What was written in that letter was like a thorn in his body. In his heart, he could hardly sleep day and night. If he didn't figure it out, he couldn't sleep for a day.There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, what was written in the letter, even though he had never read it before, he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

He didn't eat much for dinner, and the food brought in was brought out without any movement. Although Brother Ming was a little anxious, there was nothing he could do.

Rong Yushu lit an oil lamp, and the swaying orange flower cast a shadow on the wall.

It was getting late at night, but the oil lamp that Rong Yushu had lit hadn't been extinguished. Although it was early spring, the weather at night still seemed a bit bitter.

The lantern seemed to flicker, Rong Yushu stood up vigilantly, and saw a person standing in a dark place, there was no light or shadow on his body, standing there quietly, as if there had never been anyone.

Rong Yushu's heart gradually breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that the visitor didn't say a word, he gradually raised his heart, and said with some anxiety: "Brother Tang?"

Tang Guang took a step forward, excused the shadow behind him, but his face looked a little gloomy. Seeing Rong Yushu not speaking, the latter had never seen him like this before, and a trace of fear rose in his heart. Dare to speak.

He took out something from his bosom, which was something he got from her this morning. Tang Guang's face became serious, and he said, "How did you get this thing?"

Stepping forward to take the things in his hands, Rong Yushu looked through them carefully. As expected, the types of questions on it were almost the same as last year's exam questions. Among them were Tie Jing and Mo Yi, and The handwriting was a bit messy, and it didn't look like it was written by someone he knew well.

Tang Guang sighed, feeling a little scared in his heart, and said: "Some people reported that the test questions were leaked before, but later in the place where those people lived, they did find a manuscript that was exactly the same as the test questions. When the Holy Majesty found out, he was furious. Order Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Rong Yushu bit his lips, raised his head stubbornly and said, "I really don't know, someone sent this envelope to me, and I forgot about it, and I don't know what's inside, if it wasn't for you today Suddenly found something like this, I..."

Tang Guang sighed, interrupted what he was saying, and said, "I'm not saying it's your fault. In fact, today, it has probably been found out."

Looking at Rong Yushu's puzzled eyes, Tang Guang continued: "Today in Dali Temple, one person confessed. He and the young master of the Wang family, who is the younger brother of Queen Wang, Wang Feihan, can't be called friends, maybe they can only be regarded as friends." I was running errands. One day, I was in a hurry to urinate. When I was in the toilet, I overheard Wang Feihan and another person whispering that he had someone in the official department. He found the test questions of Chunwei this time and was willing to share them.

The man felt a little upset, but he also had some other thoughts, so he followed Wang Feihan secretly, and finally took out the test questions in his arms while he was drunk, copied them down, and pretended that he didn't care about anything. Nothing was put back. "

After hearing that name, Rong Yushu felt a wave of anger rising in his heart, his ears buzzing as he thought about it, he took a deep breath, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart no matter what.

This guy, I haven't settled the matter with him last time. Unexpectedly, there will be another wave of unrest. Tang Guang quietly looked at Rong Yushu, without saying a word, he put the envelope and the letter paper inside on the candlelight. After a while, it burned up.

Some slowly went to snatch it, but Tang Guang dodged it, and put it on the ground by the way, waiting quietly for it to burn out.

Looking at him in astonishment, he asked a little incomprehensibly, "Isn't this evidence? Why burn it?"

Tang Guang glanced at him lightly, and said, "Evidence? Indeed, if someone finds out that you are holding this thing, you will be banned from taking the imperial examination for life, or sent out of customs. You must keep it." with it?"

Speechless, I don't know what else to say, but watching the sparks on the ground gradually disappear, Tang Guangcai put his eyes on him, and said: "During this time, you should not go out, just stay at Uncle Wu's house." Let's go home, the delay of Chun Wei is not long, and there will be news within a month."

The lights were too dark, I felt that Tang Guang's eyes were thick like a ball of ink, and I couldn't see clearly his expression, so he suddenly hugged him again.

I was a little surprised, I don't know why he made this action suddenly, but the warm body hugged him tightly, it seemed that even the thoughts in my heart were conveyed to him without reservation, I don't know why there was an inexplicable peace of mind.

"You are so worrying." Whispered in the ear as if talking to himself, with a hint of flirtatiousness, with a hint of helplessness, but hugged him tightly, as if Treat like a treasure

Somewhere in my heart suddenly became a little soft.
