Startled Meng

Pei Yuantang was very anxious along the way. When he arrived at Yan's Mansion, he slammed the door so hard that his voice was split. Looking at it, Yu Fangzhi didn't dare to tell him that there was a dog hole in his house that connected to Yan's Mansion. No one can stop it.

The shouts were heart-piercing, and others heard that Mr. Yan owed some terrible debts, and soon someone came to answer the door.

Du Yan's face was exposed behind the crack of the door. Du Yan couldn't speak, but it didn't prevent him from being frightened by Pei Yuantang's posture of kneeling and kowtowing. Run away and find someone quickly.

Du Yan didn't know Pei Yuantang, and he didn't understand what he said, and the conveyance was very vague. He was holding the book in the study and asked Du Yan to speak slowly, but Du Yan simply collected the book for him. Yes, pull the Yan Ci mirror and let him see it by himself.

Yan Cijing looked and saw a man in a mess kneeling and crying bitterly, and standing behind him was Yu Fangzhi who was watching the show with his arms crossed.

"Get up first, and talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Pei Yuantang shook his head, looking up with a face wrinkled with tears: "My lord, is the ranking on the yellow list really correct? Why, why..." The voice became smaller and smaller, so I couldn't just say that I didn't make the list, so I cried Grabbing the land, but unwilling, he said sharply:

"I don't agree!"

"Before filling in the list officially, there are also examiners and chief examiners in each room who fill in the draft list together. Controversial papers and evaluations are the result of everyone's discussion." Yan Cijing was not moved by Pei Yuantang's situation, and used almost The indifferent tone dispelled Pei Yuantang's doubts.

But Pei Yuantang was still kneeling, with anger in his eyes: "Huiyuan Fanzhi, he can't write his name well, and the scriptures are a mess, why can he go to high school?" Sniffing, he said:

"If it is said that he hides his clumsiness before the exam, but as far as I know, there are at least dozens of people on the list who are dudes, and they all hide their clumsiness before the exam, deliberately pretending to be illiterate to bluff people? !"

This time, even Yu Fangzhi was startled. Seeing Pei Yuantang's humility and peace, he was forced to question the imperial court officials. He was questioning the fairness of the examination papers inside and outside the words.

Regarding this, Yan Cijing did not explain much, but said: "The list of tribute scholars has been reviewed by the Zhongshumen and submitted to the emperor. The candidates on the list will enter the court to take the palace examination in a few days." In order to comfort him, he extinguished all of Pei Yuantang's hopes, which was short of saying that the overall situation was settled and there was no room for maneuver.

Pei Yuantang whimpered and fell to the ground, no longer in the mood to ask questions, even an examiner like Yan Cijing said so, what else could he do?

Before the ranking, I fantasized about being proud of the horseshoe, but now?

Pei Yuantang staggered away as if his bones had been pulled out. Yu Fangzhi followed him with his eyes, walked to Yan Cijing, and said worriedly, "Is this silly scholar thinking about committing suicide?"

Yan Cijing turned around and returned to the house: "If you fail an exam, you will be depressed, and it's hard to take on a big responsibility."

Yu Fangzhi followed into the Yan Mansion: "Master Yan is the number one scholar in the first exam, and he has never tasted the feeling of failing the ranking. It is a bit unreasonable to say that."

Yan Cijing stopped, stood on the steps, raised his eyes to look at Yu Fangzhi: "You followed in here to fight the injustice?" Seeing Yu Fangzhi shook his head in denial, then he turned around and continued walking.

Yu Fangzhi followed up: "I know your lord, and I know what he is like, but others don't know. Apart from Pei Yuantang, there are many candidates who are quite dissatisfied with the results of this exam."

Strict words do not change the mirror: "There are always people who expect too much, and the results are not satisfactory, and it is normal to be dissatisfied."

"Aren't you afraid to bother me too much?" Yu Fangzhi was worried for him, "There are a lot of candidates like Pei Yuantang, and they come to ask for advice one by one, isn't it bothersome?"

Yan Cijing stopped to look at him: "What do you want to say?"

Yu Fangzhi leaned into his ear, and exhaled into the thin and transparent ear bone: "There is a wrong and a debt, they shouldn't come to you."

Seeing Yan Cijing look up, Yu Fangzhi smiled slyly, clicked to the end, took two steps back, leaned on the pillar and sighed again: "It's a pity that brother Pei's luck is not good, I will treat him to dinner some other day, and comfort him a little bit." fan."

Xu Shiyu's words awakened Yan Cijing, and he was afraid that someone would come to kneel him, so he quickly went back to the study and closed the door, and told Juniper that if someone came, he said he would not come, and went to hide quietly.

Lord Yan left, the courtyard was quiet, Yu Fangzhi felt bored, so he climbed over the wall and went back to the next door.

No one disturbed Yan's mansion, but he welcomed an unexpected guest in his Yu's house.

Wang Yu.

Different from the smugness before the announcement of the results in the morning, Wang Yu had a mournful face, his hair was askew, the corners of his clothes were frayed, and he followed the servant straight in with his eyes.

When Wang Yu saw Yu Fangzhi, he faltered, saying that he didn't pass the exam and dared not stay in the capital, the rented house was left early, and there was no place to live, so he wanted to stay in Yu Fangzhi for a night.

Yu Fangzhi readily agreed, saying that it would be fine to stay for a few days, and hurriedly asked Xiaoqing to tidy up a small courtyard for Wang Yu to live in.

Yu Fang knew that he had good eyesight, and seeing Wang Yu's sluggish gaze, he didn't take the initiative to bring up the big words he had said before, such as titles on the gold list, wedding candles, etc., and dragged Wang Yu into the room.

"hiss--"

"What's the matter?" Yu Fangzhi hurriedly withdrew his hand, "Brother, why is your clothes torn? Your arms are a little blue, where did you fall?"

Wang Yu quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I made Brother Yu laugh, it was a fall, I didn't look at the road, I fell a big somersault, it's okay."

"How is that possible? Your county magistrate's father took good care of my Yu family, how could I let you leave hurting?" Yu Fangzhi made up his mind, waved his hand and called the servant, "Go and ask the doctor!"

Wang Yu was really in pain, so he didn't insist anymore, and asked Yu Fangzhi to help him back to the small courtyard, waiting for the doctor to come.

Yu Fangzhi sighed, and asked regretfully, "Are you really not going to stay longer? Brother, you know Fengyue best, and I'm still waiting for you to take me there for a while."

Wang Yu murmured softly, "What's cool about being chic? Everyone's gone!"

"What?" Yu Fangzhi asked.

"It's nothing." Wang Yu threw the burden on the bed, and sighed so long that he was ten years old, "Brother Yu, why don't you go back with me? Ye City is really not a good place to go."

"What? Jing'er is not good? People are not good?"

"This city of Ye is a gold-selling cave! A gold-swallowing beast! People are not very good. They compete with each other for fame and reputation. Changing face is faster than anything else!" Wang Yu fell on the bed angrily, still feeling puzzled, shaking off his burden and yelling, "No It’s gone! It’s gone! I might be beaten to death by my father when I go back!”

"What's gone?"

Wang Yu looked up to the sky and screamed: "Official position! Beauty! All gone..."

Yu Fang didn't know whether to answer, he sat in front of the tea table, pouring water from two teacups in his hands, pattering and eclipsing himself, while Wang Yu howled so much just now, shouting out all his grievances, without caring about his face Yes, all the bad things came out.

"His father already knew about my affairs with Second Miss. If his father hadn't turned a blind eye, I wouldn't have been so passionate and hard to restrain. How can I be betrayed? If the list is revealed, I will definitely ask to marry Second Miss." Miss, I didn't expect that when her father heard that I had failed the ranking, he immediately turned his face ruthlessly and asked someone to beat me! The green part of my arm was from chasing and fleeing!"

"Brother Yu, judge me! Is this what I, Wang Yu, should suffer?!"

Yu Fangzhi handed over a cup of tea that he had been playing with, the tea was cold and astringent, just to suppress Wang Yu's resentment, Yu Fangzhi persuaded, "The world is unpredictable, if it really hits, his father will definitely kill him." It's a pity that I brought my daughter along the road to welcome you."

Wang Yu hammered the bed: "How could it miss? How could it be!?"

"Perhaps you are not prepared enough."

"impossible!"

Yu Fangzhi held the teacup still, looking surprised, Wang Yu leaned over and grabbed Yu Fangzhi's hand: "Brother Yu! If I say..."

Gritting his teeth, he said, "If I say that I got the test questions before the test, would you believe me?"

Yu Fangzhi shook his head, obviously not convinced: "Although I don't read the books of sages, I also know the importance of this scientific examination. Are you saying that someone leaked questions for personal gain? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Wang Yu stretched out five fingers and said anxiously, "I spent this amount, found a way to buy test questions before the test, and the test questions were exactly the same! I didn't lie to you!"

Whether you know it or don't believe it: "You have passed the test questions in advance, but you still can't pass the test?"

"This is the scariest thing! I knew the exam questions in advance, but I still didn't pass the exam! It shows how far the imperial examination has been manipulated! They can decide who will be on the list at will!"

Yu Fangzhi pretended to be shocked: "What you said...is it true?"

Wang Yu raised three fingers: "I swear on the lives of my parents!" Then he leaned into Yu Fangzhi's ear and whispered, "The person I corresponded with said that Master Fan's only son, Fan Zhi, also got the title from him. ..."

Yu Fangzhi seemed to have eavesdropped on a big secret, covering his mouth for a long time without making a sound, and fighting with his tongue: "Then, if you didn't go up, wouldn't all the money you spent be wasted? The person who connected with you didn't give you any money." a statement?"

Wang Yu: "No! I ran away early and disappeared!" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more angry I became, the more I thought about it, I couldn't swallow it!

Yu Fangzhi reminded at the right time: "Is there more than one person who is as unlucky as you?"

Wang Yu was enlightened: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll go to them! Let's go and ask for an explanation! Ask for an explanation!" He started circling around the room, "We can't just let them take money for nothing!"

"Brother Yu! I'm going out!"

"It's getting so late, isn't it too late to go out tomorrow?" Yu Fangzhi stretched out his hand to pull him away, and Wang Yu ran out aggressively to collect debts.

As soon as the person left, Yu Fangzhi could only talk to the air: "Ruku, let the brothers who pretended to be the failed students this morning follow up, and lead him to find Mr. Zhang. Don't go wrong, it's Mr. Zhang Shaoqiu."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Xiaoqing brought the doctor, but Wang Yu had disappeared, and only saw his young master sitting on the wall, which was really strange.

Yan Cijing behind a wall is also strange.It was getting dark very quickly in the evening, and it was scary for Yu Fangzhi to sit so motionless that he couldn't see his face very clearly.

"Come down and talk about something?"

Yu Fang knew whether he was happy: "Just say it on the wall."

Really have something to say?Yan Cijing squinted his eyes, unable to see Yu Fangzhi's face clearly, only heard him say:

"My lord, don't be afraid of anything."

For no reason, I told people not to be afraid, and they didn't say clearly what they were afraid of. Weird people said strange words, and Yan Cijing didn't take it seriously. He turned around and entered the room. After a long time, he looked out of the window again, and the strange man was still sitting on the wall.

Weird!
