Startled Meng

"Don't be afraid straight, just follow the article written by the gentlemen yesterday, and deal with the emperor's question." Fan Qi coaxed the son of the number one scholar into a suit, but his official hat was soaked with sweat.

"Father, my child is not afraid, this champion is what I deserve!" Fan Zhi was just like before the examination, and he was well prepared for the palace examination, but he was not stupid, he could see that his father was panicked.

"Father, you're wearing your hat backwards!"

"Yes, is it?" Fan Qi was in a hurry, and knocked over the tea in the carriage.

Today is not bad, if Master Wei sent Black Eagle to the door yesterday, sending a test paper in advance to help, Fan Qi would definitely not be able to sleep last night.

Although the palace examination is presided over by the emperor, the questions are given by the Imperial Academy to the emperor to choose. As long as you prepare properly, you are not afraid that you will not be able to deal with it.

Now that things have happened, Fan Qi can't help but curse in his heart for being inappropriate!This is so eye-catching!Needless to say, there are rumors among the people, but there is nothing to be afraid of. Whoever dares to slander and slander will be killed.

This is the Son of Heaven... the worst thing to fool!

Fortunately, Xiang Wei came to the rescue!It's just that in this way, Wei Xiang will inevitably feel that Fan Qi is overreaching... no matter how much!Today's imperial examination is important!

"Zhi'er! Hurry up! Recite the question again for my father!"

On the other side, Yan Cijing went out, ready to go to court.

The crimson official uniform was extremely dazzling in the twilight morning light, Yan Cijing closed the door and turned around, and saw Pei Yuantang standing at the bottom of the steps.

I don't know how long I stood, my shoulders were covered with moisture, and I was carrying a small burden, as if I was going to travel far.

"Master Yan." Pei Yuantang bowed to him.

Yan Cijing waved his hand, knowingly asked: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Pei Yuantang squeezed out a smile, very bitter, and picked up the burden that had slipped off his shoulders, "This time I went to Beijing to take the exam and was named Luosun Shan. Although Xiaosheng accepts his incompetence, he has no desire to pursue it. I should go home quickly and look for it." It’s better to earn a living to support a family than to study hard for years and end up with nothing.”

Of course, I did not wait here to complain, so Pei Yuantang bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your guidance before the exam."

Yan Cijing shook his head: "I didn't give you any advice." At that time, Pei Yuantang asked for advice from a policy article he wrote back then, and he still remembered the cold rejection by him.

Pei Yuantang bowed and said, "What was said in Master Yan's article once gave Xiaosheng a great shock, and he should be an official like Master Yan."

Yan Cijing said: "All the strategies and theories are made by the emperor, and they are just for the exam."

Yan Cijing didn't seem to like others mentioning his articles back then, and Pei Yuantang didn't dare to say any more. He only said some good things before parting, hoping that Master Yan is in good health and will be promoted every step of the way.

Pei Yuantang needs to leave early when he wants to return to his hometown. On the surface, he says it is because the mountains are high and the roads are far away. In fact, he does not want to see the number one scholar riding a horse parading through the streets.

He was disheartened, and now that he's gone...he's afraid he'll never go to Beijing to catch the exam again.

"Pei Yuantang."

"What's the matter, my lord?" Pei Yuantang turned around.

Yan Cijing walked over quickly: "I have something to tell you, but now I have to go to the court and I can't delay it, why don't you wait in my residence?"

Pei Yuantang hesitated: "But..."

"There are only two young servants in the mansion, serving light meals and rough tea. If you don't mind, you can stay at my mansion and leave some other day. Yu Fangzhi also said that he will keep you for dinner."

Pei Yuantang was not sure of Yan Cijing's intentions, and was at a loss as he tugged at one corner, Yan Cijing had already shouted loudly.

"A Yan, come out to welcome the guests!"

It's just that Pei Yuantang stayed in the Yan Mansion for half a day, and instead of waiting for Yan Cijing, he waited for a guard with a knife.

Jun Jun waited outside the gate of the palace for Yan Ci to come under the mirror, and only Du Yan was with Pei Yuantang at home, neither of them knew how to deal with it.

In fact, there was no need to deal with it, because the officers and soldiers were all vicious, and they drove away the two people in the mansion arbitrarily, searched the Yan mansion, and sealed the gate of the Yan mansion tightly.

The people watching the excitement outside the door surrounded the circle, pointing at the Yan Mansion.

Yu Fangzhi squeezed out from the crowd, saw Du Yan kneeling on the ground begging, he pulled him up and knelt down again.

"Yan Cijing presided over the scientific examination and accepted bribes. It is a serious crime to leak the questions before the examination and deceive the emperor. The Yan Mansion is now being searched and no one is allowed to enter!"

"Impossible! Master Yan wouldn't do such a thing, you must have made a mistake!" Pei Yuantang yelled, and was dragged away by Yu Fangzhi covering his mouth.

Yu Fangzhi brought Du Yan and Pei Yuantang home, the door was closed, but gossip from outside still came in from time to time.

Xiaoqing leaned over and muttered: "Master Yan doesn't look like a corrupt official? How did you do such a thing?"

Before Du Yan and Pei Yuantang could roll their eyes at him, Yu Fangzhi gave him a popcorn first!

"Take care of these two, I'll go out for a while."

Xiaoqing chased him out and shouted: "Master, where are you going to join in the fun again!?"

Rumors are already circulating in the streets.

"I heard that Zheng Lang and Yan Cijing stole the test questions and sold them together, making a lot of money. Today, the emperor intervened in the palace test. Many people can't even recite the names of hundreds of families! Isn't this a bluff!"

"Fuck! Fan Zhi's admission is a big joke! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong!"

"My neighbor's distant cousin works in the palace. He said that Longyan was furious and wanted to kill him. He persuaded him to come down and go to jail pending investigation."

"Look, look! Dali Temple is escorting prisoners!"

Yu Fangzhi followed the crowd to look, only to see the guards clearing the way, Mr. Fu sitting on the horse and walking in the front, behind him were three carriages escorting the prisoners, he couldn't see anything from the outside, and he didn't know who was inside.

But it didn't prevent a few angry civilians from throwing rotten eggs and scolding "dog officials, dog officials" in their mouths. It was only when the escorting guards pulled out half of their knives that the scene stabilized.

Yu Fangzhi followed all the way until he reached the gate of Dali Temple. The crowd of onlookers gradually decreased, and only then did he see Juniper who had been mixed in the crowd.

At this time, the door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Zheng Lang was stripped of his court clothes first, and went down to the ground in only his white inner garment. When he landed, he knelt down and yelled "Ouch, Ouch", Yu Fang knew that he had moved his position before seeing Zheng Lang. blood on the back.

Yan Cijing came out later, also in white clothes and white trousers, with red eyes all over his back, he didn't fall to the ground, but walked very slowly, and was carried into the door by two officers and soldiers.

As soon as the man left, there were only two bloodstains left on the ground.

Juniper watched tremblingly: "My lord..."

Yu Fangzhi grabbed his collar with one hand: "Didn't it mean that he was imprisoned pending investigation? Why did he use torture without trial?!"

"I don't know..." Juniper was confused, "What should I do? Mr. Yu, my lord is in jail, what should I do?!"

Yu Fangzhi let go, glanced at the heavily guarded Dali Temple, turned around and left quickly.

Ruku showed up and followed: "The imperial examination incident came to light, and Zheng Lang's imprisonment is also expected. Master just wait and see what happens."

Yu Fangzhi's face was as cold as frost, he looked deeply at Ruku, and said, "Zheng Lang deserves to die, I want to save Yan Cijing too."
