Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

The horse desperately dragged the carriage up, when the wheel bumped into a rock, it rolled over and hit the mountain wall.

Zhou Feng crawled out lazily, his face was withered and yellow, his hair was in a mess, his sleeves were scratched several times, his originally shiny satin boots were covered with dust, and the red setting sun hit his figure on the other side of the rock, like A stray dog.

What a broken place!

Zhou Feng got up cursing, but had to leave.

Although Qian Xiling said that he would be dismissed from office, in fact, everyone was an official of the imperial court, and Zhu Bi had approved them one by one. Even Prince Miao did not have the right to dismiss him from office.

He originally thought that it would be better to be downgraded than to have no official position, at least he would have a chance to make his mark, but if he was sent down to such a place, who would remember him?

Zhou Feng arrived at the county government office feeling displeased, and his heart became even colder.

The entire county government is full of calculations, and there are only five government officials in total. When I open the county annals, it's all about old sesame seeds and rotten millet.

Raising his head, Zhou Feng sighed a long time, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, the yamen servant came up to report that a fugitive had been caught.

Zhou Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered him to bring him up, but he turned out to be a weak boy.

"Who is in the hall, tell us your name!" Zhou Feng slapped the gavel and shouted.

The young man's expression was dull: "Gu Zhengchu."

"Heh, killing your father and mother at such a young age is so heartless, you should be convicted!"

There was no light in Gu Zhengchu's eyes, and he repeated in his mouth: "I didn't kill them, I didn't kill them..."

Is this worth it?Zhou Feng just waited for him to plead guilty and report to the court to claim credit!

He changed his mind, if it was reported to the Zhizhou to uncover an unjust, false and wrong case, it would be a good thing.

"If you have any secrets, tell me quickly. Since I am a parent officer, I should be the master for you."

Gu Zhengchu was moved.

Zhou Feng saw that there was something going on, so he asked while the iron was hot, and finally heard the whole story from the young man.

It turned out that his father, Gu Juncai, kept a concubine outside, and it was fine if he didn't regret it.After his mother was divorced, her life at her natal family was not good, and she held a grudge against Gu Juncai, so she went to the door to make a fuss, and soon there was an accident. Gu Zhengchu, who just arrived at that time, was seen by a neighbor and accused of being the murderer.

However, the county government at that time was like Zhou Feng, thinking about political achievements like crazy, regardless of whether he was wronged or not, if he was arrested, he would be executed in the autumn.

"Your father died as soon as he died, and he deserved what he deserved, but he also made his son a fugitive." Zhou Feng shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm the judge for you."

Gu Zhengchu seemed to have been poked at the pain point, and shouted with red eyes: "My lord, although my father did something wrong, why did he drive my mother out! If it weren't for Gu Mingzhou, the disaster star of Sanfang's parents who died early, our family of three How could it be reduced to where it is today!"

"Gu Mingzhou?" Zhou Feng held his breath and unconsciously leaned forward, "Be more careful."

There was a bang, the stinging thunder shook, and Xia Yu came down in a mighty way.

Zhou Feng was poured all over his face, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and the discouragement when he came was swept away.

Then Gu Mingzhou actually has a husband and wife!

It was such a coincidence that he received a lawsuit a few days ago. The defendant was originally a manager in Hangzhou. After being resigned, he had no choice but to return to his hometown. However, because he couldn't clear up the land with his neighbors, he was brought to the government office again.

What a coincidence, it was Gu Mingzhou's husband and wife - Bai Yuxin who fired the field manager at that time!

Zhou Feng was extremely fortunate, thanks to him not giving up on himself, and knowing the case in the government office like the back of his hand, he was able to think of this case in time, and learned everything Bai Yuxin had done in Hangzhou from Guanshi Tian.

During the torrential rain, Zhou Feng broke into the post house, his body was drenched, but his eyes sparkled with hope.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhou?" the postman came up with an apologetic smile, "On this rainy day, you still come here in person and send someone to say hello, the little ones should come to the door."

Zhou Feng took out a letter from his arms and patted it on his chest: "Send the letter to the capital, hurry up!"

The guard was stunned: "Where are you sending it?"

"Department of punishment!"

Zhou Feng evoked a smile, looked up at the rain curtain, as if through layers of raindrops he saw Gu Mingzhou in a state of distress, begging for mercy on his knees.

At this time, the capital.

Gu Mingzhou was walking between the palaces of the imperial palace.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and I see Chang'an flowers all day.

The imperial examination, this is already the last stage of the scientific examination, the candidates who can reach this step are all the pride of heaven, and most of them will become colleagues in the future.Everyone knew this well, and there was a little respect in the eyes of each other's brief contact.

If he can win the first rank in the palace test, he will be able to skyrocket in the officialdom in the future.

For hundreds of years, there have been very few people who have been able to get the three yuan. It is because the test questions of the palace examination are personally set by the current emperor, and the number one scholar is also personally designated by the emperor. Talent and vision are important, and sometimes the eyes may be separated. Huge distance.

Even Gu Mingzhou is not fully sure that he can win the first prize, let alone Zheng Ziming, a great talent in Yangzhou, who is in the same batch of exams as him.

Don't look at him staying at home all day and doing nothing, but he has actually read some books.Those who didn’t read enough or intensively in the previous life, have time to read them one by one before entering the vortex of fighting for power in this life.

After closing the umbrellas and entering the hall, everyone sat down one by one. Although there were many people, there was no unnecessary sound, and there was a suffocating pressure in the silence.

Opening the exam paper, Gu Mingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

A year ago, the topic of the township examination was to comment on the policies of the year, but this year, it has directly talked about the recovery of the country.

To fight, or to rest.

Today, the Holy Majesty has always had the ambition to regain the country and make contributions, but if he really wanted to take action, he encountered many obstacles.In order to stick to their own interests, the conservative faction headed by the old chief minister in the DPRK and China tried their best to oppose it; even the Qing school, which regarded itself as a pure minister, only some radicals supported the war.

It is not difficult to answer the strategy, but if you stand on the side of the emperor, you will definitely be hindered in the officialdom in the future.But as a subject, how can he directly disobey the emperor?

Gu Mingzhou only participated in the palace examination a few years later, and the emperor didn't even mention it at the time, and even in the next 20 years, the matter of recovery has remained stagnant.From this we can see how much resistance is encountered at this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden flutter in his ears. When he looked up, a candidate who couldn't bear the pressure actually fainted in class, and his bright future was cut short.

"Silence!" The examiner sternly shouted from above, "Tianzi's proposition, how dare you ignore it like this?"

Gu Mingzhou withdrew his gaze and landed on the examination paper again.

After several times of thinking, he finally wrote.
