Accidents are always so unexpected, and at the same time, they are the most helpless!

There is no way to foresee, there is no way to avoid it, this kind of experience of watching the unexpected happen is the most desperate, and it is filled with many differences and blood and tears, and so on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of the candidate who died tragically, Lu Shuo was silent for a while.

Maybe he didn't see it with his own eyes, or maybe he had experienced too much life and death parting, Lu Yun didn't care much about the life and death of this candidate, and when he saw Lu Shuo sighing because of this candidate's death, he smiled helplessly.

"Natural and man-made disasters, if you are sympathetic and emotional, where can you sympathize?"

Lu Yun patted Lu Shuo's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Besides, this kind of thing is not the first time to see it in the examination room, during the Taizong period, there was a fire during the examination in the Gongyuan in the Lianghuai region, and more than 130 people died in this fire, but it is much more tragic than this incident......

When Lu Shuo saw him say this, he couldn't help but straighten his waist.

The fire that broke out in the two Huaigong courtyards, Lu Shuo heard what Wei Fuzi said.

Because of the strict inspection of the examination room, after all the candidates enter the venue, the soldiers of the supervision will lock the dragon door, and it will not be opened until the end of the examination.

This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!

Although the examiner was eventually executed for the incident, the lives of these examinees were never returned.

It is also because of this that every time Lu Shuo enters the examination room, he will strictly inspect things such as water and fire to ensure safety.

Seeing that Lu Shuo frowned for a while and was glad for a while because he mentioned the matter of the Lianghuai Gongyuan, Lu Yun solemnized his face and said: "Don't worry, this time the nature is bad, and this candidate already has a child's fame, the government will definitely make some compensation to this candidate's family, although it is not enough to compensate his family for the loss of a son and husband, but it can also be used as comfort......

Lu Shuo was just a momentary feeling, and when he heard Lu Yun so comforted, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"You don't have to worry about the results of this college exam, my son is a little sure that he won't do too badly. ”

After the two fathers and sons finished saying this, Lu Shuo stood up with Lu Yun and said softly while standing beside Lu Yun.

Lu Yun listened to Lu Shuo's assurance, stopped calling the little servant over, looked at Lu Shuo with a smile and said, "For your father, you have confidence, so naturally there is nothing to worry about." ”

Lu Shuo nodded, and turned worried: "Father should always be careful in the court, the few Qincha adults who went to Hebei Province to try the case are said to have finished the trial over there and have already brought the criminal to the Beijing Division...... These things have collided together, and the current situation is becoming more and more complicated, although you are now in the household department, there are four institutes, and the Holy Lord is paying more and more attention to you, I am afraid that you will not be able to completely stay out of the matter......"

"You don't have to worry about having a plan in your father's heart. ”

Lu Yun sighed and said in a deep voice.

Things are indeed a bit complicated, but Lu Shuo is still young at the moment, is it a critical time to study, Lu Yun doesn't want him to worry about these things all day long.

Besides, he thought about it, and it was not impossible for him to avoid these political disasters.

"After the results of the college exam are released, you don't have to worry about the exam for a long time, and it is only serious to study hard with Wei Fuzi, not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Yun's gaze softened, "Besides, you will follow Mr. Wei to Weizhou after the year, although Weizhou is not far from Beijing, but it is not convenient to travel without water, and secondly, you are going there to study, and you can't run home twice in three days, and there will not be many opportunities to come back by then." In my opinion, while there is still some time before the year, you should go to your grandmother and mother to do your filial piety in addition to studying, and your sister has not been separated from you since she was a child, so it is good to spend more time with her......"

Lu Shuo didn't expect Lu Yun to suddenly mention this, he was slightly stunned, and nodded hurriedly in response.

Seeing that Lu Shuo responded, Lu Yun did not delay, called the little guy over, turned around and walked out of the Zhiyuan, Lu Shuo looked at his back, and when he was far away, he took the two little guys back to Tang Meixuan.

……

The fact that the examinee was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the college examination was announced by the Ministry of Rites in the afternoon of the same day.

As soon as it was announced, as Lu Yun expected, it immediately caused an uproar in Jingshi.

The public has a lot of discussions about this, but most of them are watching the excitement, and it is the candidates and their families who are really affected.

"Is there really a candidate going to the gate of the palace to make trouble?"

At that time, Lu Shuo had just come back from Wei Fuzi, and he had just picked up the book to read, when he heard Qingquan report the news.

"Yes!" Qingquan nodded while pouring tea for Lu Shuo.

"It's not a trouble, it's just that Li Shoukun, who scored very high in the government exam, knelt at the gate of the palace with many poor students, saying that he asked His Majesty to seek justice for the candidate who was bitten to death......"

Li Shoukun?

Hearing the name, Lu Shuo put down the book in his hand.

He stood up from his seat and slowly paced through the small flower hall.

This Li Shoukun, Lu Shuo knows.

He won the eighth place in the government examination, which is quite good, especially since he is still a poor and white student, without family support, without the promotion and teaching of famous teachers, it is not easy to get into this way, if he can continue to maintain it in the future, it can be said that he has a bright future.

Moreover, when he was waiting for the exam in the hall of the examination institute before, Lu Shuo also talked to him, this person is obviously a long-sleeved and good dancer and sophisticated, how could he be stupid to do such a thing?

That's not a coincidence!

It is said that it is a petition, but there is no doubt about persecution, and besides, these poor students keep saying that they hope that Your Majesty will seek justice for the candidate who was bitten to death, how can they get it back? Isn't it that Your Majesty wants to severely punish the officials involved in the Ministry of Rites, especially Jiang Jinghua, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?

Not to mention whether His Majesty will agree, even if His Majesty agrees, in the future, the leading Li Shoukun's career will be regarded as coming to an end, and if he offends the Ministry of Rites, isn't he cutting off his own future?

Li Shoukun is not such a stupid person, it is impossible to do such a stupid thing, and the candidate who died is already middle-aged, Li Shoukun and him don't know each other at all, for no reason, why did Li Shoukun take such a risk to help him?

Could it really be Prince Xuande?

Lu Shuo didn't think it was right, after all, this person was moving too fast, and he didn't mean to avoid suspicion at all, Prince Xuande is still provoking the lawsuit in Hebei Province, just to take the opportunity to punish Jiang Jinghua, it should be secretly poked and poked, it is really rare to do it so rightly.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuo's brows furrowed slightly, he waved his hand to stop Qingquan from chattering, and ordered: "You go to the front now to find the white steward, let him go to the four places to ask, and see what Li Shoukun met and did before he went to the palace gate to petition......"

"Young Master, ...... you are"

"Don't ask, just go and get back quickly. ”

Qingquan hurriedly agreed and walked out of the room.

……

The four institutes acted very quickly, and they checked the matter before and after that night, but they did not find out the specific results.

There are too many people Li Shoukun has seen, and there is no way to find them all, and this incident has happened for a long time, and the things he heard cannot be confirmed one by one, not to mention that this Li Shoukun has always been low-key, and the four institutes have never paid attention to him, so it is naturally a little difficult to find out these at once.

Lu Shuo had no choice but to tell Lu Yun about these things and his thoughts.

Lu Yun didn't say anything else, but said: "You don't need to investigate this matter, and you don't need to know who sent him, this matter may have something to do with the thief! Besides, it doesn't matter how the process is now, just look at the result! Li Shoukun This matter is a bit big, His Majesty has known about it in the palace today, and he is shocked, and he thinks that there will be a conclusion tomorrow." ”

Lu Yun's expectation was good, early the next morning, on the Jinluan Palace, the first thing Emperor Hui Chong wanted to say was this.

Emperor Hui Chong's face was also dark, his face was serious, and he looked like he didn't plan to be good.

The officials involved in the Ministry of Rites looked at Emperor Hui Chong's face, and they were almost frightened, including Jiang Jinghua, Jiang Jinghua was frightened, but it was not just because this candidate died in vain, the reason why he lowered his value to invigilate the exam this time was not to catch the spy hidden in the examination hall?

It's really bad luck, and I don't know what Emperor Hui Chong is going to do with him!

Jiang Jinghua maintained the last calmness on his face, but he trembled in his heart, and while worrying, he secretly scolded Li Shoukun, who knelt at the gate of the palace yesterday.

When Emperor Hui Chong saw the appearance of the officials below, he couldn't help but be even more angry.

Emperor Hui Chong has always taken the road of benevolence and pro-people, since he was pro-government, the death of candidates in the examination room due to man-made accidents has never happened under his nose, especially now that the Zhao envoys are about to arrive in Beijing, and the thieves in the Beijing division are mixed in the candidates and cannot be caught, which makes his anger a little bigger.

Emperor Hui Chong's voice was cold, word by word, announcing that all the officials involved, including Jiang Jinghua, would be demoted to the first rank and fined for three years.

The penalty is nothing, but if you are demoted to one level, this punishment is really heavy.

The officials looked at each other, and there was Gao Zhuo who wanted to use this to intercede for Jiang Jinghua, and when he saw Emperor Hui Chong's cold eyes, he couldn't say anything about pleading.

After Jiang Jinghua heard this, he only felt that his heart was like ashes, he was listed with Emperor Hui Chong, this time the grade was downgraded, even if Gao Zhuo was there, but if he wanted to be promoted again, I am afraid it would be difficult......

Emperor Hui Chong didn't look at the pale faces of the officials involved, and then announced the punishment of those petition candidates.

As for the rest of the accomplices, although they were spared from prison, Emperor Hui Chong announced that these people would be invalid regardless of whether they had achieved fame or not, and this punishment could be said to be quite heavy for the candidates who had studied hard for more than ten years.

When the officials below heard this, they talked about it, and they obviously agreed with Emperor Hui Chong's punishment.

If you don't learn a lesson, wouldn't it be lawless, and let other candidates learn the same, and I don't know what kind of chaos will happen in the future!

Lu Yun's focus was not on this, he was just thinking about Emperor Hui Chong's intention to detain the three leading candidates.

Could it be that Emperor Hui Chong also felt that it was the thief who instigated or threatened them to do this behind this?

An early dynasty, some people are happy and some are worried, and the time seems to have become long because of this, and I don't know how long it took, after Emperor Hui Chong decided everything, Zhou Yu'an finally announced the word "retreat from the dynasty".

When the officials heard this, their hearts were relieved, and they hurried out of the Jinluan Palace, but Emperor Hui Chong left Lu Shuo behind at this time, and he didn't say what it was, but this move attracted the attention of many people.

His Majesty can now be said to be paying more and more attention to Lu Yun.

The officials thought to themselves.

Gao Zhuo took Jiang Jinghua and the others to stop for the first time and looked sideways at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun ignored everyone's gaze and followed Emperor Hui Chong to the Qinzheng Palace.

……

After more than ten days of plain and bland, it was finally time to release the list.

Lu Shuo has lived a very leisurely life in the past ten days, in addition to continuing to study with Wei Fuzi, he usually accompanies the Yuan family and the Luo family, enjoying the few remaining days in Beijing.

Among them, what can make Lu Shuo's heart ripple is that Lu Yun was once again appointed by Emperor Hui Chong and dispatched the four institutes to secretly continue to investigate the "internal thief" who slipped through the net.

On that day, after Emperor Hui Chong was demoted and arrested the three candidates who led the petition, he arrested them in the edict prison and ordered them to be tortured.

It turns out that these three people really did this because they were threatened!

The reason why the three of them did not know the candidate who was bitten to death at all, let alone intercede for him, and the reason why they would do the stupid thing of leading the crowd to petition was very simple, when the three of them gathered in the teahouse to chat that day, they received an anonymous letter at the same time, and the content of the above was very simple, that they were asked to do this.

The three of them naturally knew that they should not do this, but the letter threatened that all the relatives in their family were in the hands of this person, and if they did not do it, they would be worried that the whole family would be wiped out, and the characteristics of their family were all described very clearly, and they could not believe it.

The three of them couldn't, so they had to do it.

Based on the facts confessed by the three men, the criminal department found the letter from the small courtyard where they were renting.

Now Lu Yun's character is to send four institutes to find the real culprit behind the map.

"It's not going to be easy!"

Lu Shuo put down the brush in his hand, looked out the window, and sighed faintly.

With just a letter, or a bland letter that has been deliberately manipulated, how easy is it to find this person in Jingshi?

"Young master, young master!"

A person suddenly came out of the door, Lu Shuo didn't have to look, just listening to the voice, he knew that it was Qingquan's house.

"See the list?" Lu Shuo asked.

Today's official trial is the day of the unveiling of the results.

Qingquan nodded, not at all less enthusiastic about this matter because of Lu Shuo's calmness.
