Liu Gan was really carried to Dali Temple, just because he was too seriously injured. However, Dou Guan didn't care about this, and ordered someone to carry Liu Gan from Liu's mansion to the street all the way to Dali Temple, and was surrounded by those ordinary people on the way.

This made Liu Gan embarrassed and thrown home, he had to lift up the hem of his clothes and cover his face, and scolded all the people who caused him to be injured and embarrassed, and he didn't finish greeting the ancestors of those people in his heart, but the stretcher stopped.

"Get up, Lord Liu, but if you really can't stand it, it's okay to lie on the ground. Dou Guan said lightly.

Liu Gan lifted the hem of his clothes, and first saw the soap class official standing on the left, he looked to the right again, knowing that he was already in the lobby, he got up with difficulty, his expression looked weak and painful, he looked at Uncle Wu sitting above the hall with a bitter face, and nodded symbolically: "Lord Wu is so mighty, sitting in the public hall of this Dali Temple, it is more imposing than Lord Dou." ”

Uncle Wu didn't eat him, Dou Guan didn't take this to heart, he sat down in the auditorium, and Uncle Wu began to seriously interrogate Liu Gan.

"Liu Gan, people have reported that you are selling the tribute quota for this year's examination like various places and even the powerful in Beijing, can you recognize it?"

Liu Ganlai just wanted to ask about this, how did he sell it, he sneered: "Master Wu, Liu is just a fellow examiner, and the candidates' exam papers must be reviewed and ranked by the examiner first, and then sealed and sent to the same examiners in each room."

The examiners are all divided into rooms to read the papers, and after reading the papers, they have to send the examination papers back to the examiner for review, this time there are 11 examiners, the Ministry of Rites accounts for 8 people, the cabinet ministers account for two, but I am the only one in the Ministry of Officials.

Uncle Wu snorted coldly: "I don't listen to your explanations, you just say, admit it or not." ”

Liu Gan said angrily: "Of course Liu will not admit it, I am innocent, although I don't know why these people want to rely on me, but I believe that Dali Temple is not a place to be beaten, if there is no evidence, if you want to add a crime, Liu is not a vegetarian." ”

Uncle Wu had the idea of confronting Liu Gan and Zhang Tian, so he immediately ordered someone to take Zhang Tian to the lobby.

Zhang Tian didn't have shackles or shackles, went to the court, and saw that Liu Gan was also there, he was angry at first, but when he saw the latter's appearance, he felt very relieved, so he snorted coldly, and said in a weird way: "It is said that good people don't live long, and wicked people live for thousands of years, it seems that this is really true." ”

Liu Gan was still sitting on the stretcher, he had already clenched his fists angrily when he saw Zhang Tian, and when he heard the latter's tone, he regretted that he did not kill him on the spot, and he scolded angrily: "You guy, this official has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm this official." ”

"No grievances, no hatred?" Zhang Tianhaha laughed, regardless of whether it was rude in the court, "You have no grievances with me, you have grievances and hatreds with the world's scholars, how hard we study, you are good, sell our blood and sweat into your silver, if you don't kill you, your life is great." ”

"Enough, there should be no noise in the court. Uncle Wu scolded sharply, and Zhang Tian shut up hatefully.

Liu Gan's heart ached, "My lord, this person claims that I sell tribute quotas, this is slander, there is no evidence, only based on his words, how can you be convinced? He is a person who has failed the list, I think that he is unwilling to fall off the list, so he deliberately instigated people to make trouble." ”

Zhang Tianzheng wanted to distinguish it, so he heard Uncle Wu question him: "Zhang Tian, you recruited from the truth, and said that you are the only one who sells the tribute quota for the examiner, and you are the only one who hears the words, how can this official believe that this is not your conspiracy, and it is not a disturbance instigated by you who are unwilling to fall off the list?"

"My lord, Sun Laishi is in the prison cell, he said it to Wei Xiancai in person that day, Wei Xiancai also has a share, my lord just ask that Sun Laishi, he will definitely be able to ask. ”

Uncle Wu was a little more stern: "Ridiculous, is it impossible to make this official a trick? Sun Laishi does not admit to this matter, how do you explain it?"

Zhang Tian said indignantly: "Of course he doesn't dare to admit it, who can admit this kind of thing?" But he is not the only one who buys the tribute quota, Wei Xiancai is the only one, there are other people, I know that those powerful people can't be defeated, I only hope that the emperor can order a re-examination, or simply let Sun Laishi re-exam, if he still knows Yuan, I will give him this head directly." ”

"Presumptuous, the court is full of nonsense, how can it be as easy as you say to retake the exam. Okay, you all have your own rhetoric, but there are always people who are lying, and the official is not afraid to spend time with you. ”

Liu Gan immediately resisted loudly: "This official is an appointed official, why are you detaining this official, not to mention that this matter has no basis and no evidence, this official is not convinced, and this official will meet the emperor in person." ”

Dou Guan on the side said in a deep voice: "Lord Liu forgot so quickly, the emperor personally decreed that the officials involved can be tried first and then played, although there is no evidence, but you are suspicious." ”

"I don't accept it---- I'm wronged, it's a great wrong. Liu Gan's throat was hoarse, but he could only be carried to the cell and locked up.

Zhang Tian was temporarily left behind, and it turned out that Uncle Wu still focused on another person, who was Wei Xiancai that Zhang Tian said. He didn't know about this Wei Xiancai, and he had asked someone to inquire before, and there was indeed a person named Wei Xiancai in this year's entrance examination, who was the son of the county commander of Pixian County.

It's just that this Wei Xiancai doesn't know where to hide, fortunately, at this time, the city gate has been ordered by Dali Temple to set up guards, and it is necessary to be checked when entering and exiting, if he is lucky, Wei Xiancai is afraid that he is still in Beijing, and he will still have a chance to find out;

He called the painter and asked Zhang Tian to describe Wei Xiancai's appearance, fortunately Zhang Tian and Wei Xiancai had a few faces, he carefully described it from memory, and when the painter presented the painting to him, he nodded again and again and said that it was the person who painted it, so Wei Xiancai's portrait was posted throughout the city.

Although there was no wanted warrant, a reward was also set, and if someone reported it, there were still five taels of silver to take, so for a while, Wei Xiancai was being found everywhere in the city.

Besides, Liu Gan, after being put in the cell, did not shout, he began to think, why did Zhang Tian say that he heard Sun Laishi and Wei Xiancai say that he sold them places? Could it be that the Ministry of Rites had a thief's eye when they were doing things, and even lied that they were officials?

He thought about it left and right, and felt that there was only one possibility, that is, the Ministry of Rites was playing ghosts, otherwise how could Sun Laishi and Wei Xiancai say that it was the servant of the Ministry of Rites and not the waiter of the Ministry of Rites? After all, the business really existed, and he also believed that Zhang Tian had indeed overheard.

The more Liu Gan thought about it, the more he hated in his heart, if it was really a troublemaker of the Ministry of Rites, then he and the Ministry of Rites would not share the sky, he really wanted to see Sun Laishi, and wanted to ask Sun Laishi in person who he was connected with.
