Although Pang Xiuping's embezzlement and bribery and the buying and selling of imperial examination quotas were not classified before they were clearly investigated, all the officials seemed to have agreed on it, and they did not reveal a single word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, it is the scandal of officialdom and the scandal of the imperial court!

Emperor Hui Chong was angry again, if it was a bad one that touched his old man's scales, it would not end well.

There are already a lot of people in the prison, but I don't mind another one.

When the dust settled, and there was no need for more people to spread the word, the government directly posted the notice, explaining what had happened and the results were all announced in front of the world.

This announcement was terrible, and Jingshi immediately exploded.

What do you want to ask the people to hate the most?

Naturally, they are corrupt officials.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, everyone will be punished, not to mention a book that accepts bribes through the imperial examination?

You must know how important the imperial examination is for the common people, "the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall", that is the only opportunity for poor children to turn over!

It is not easy for many ordinary families to save money to support a scholar, and they are actually bought and sold by such corrupt officials and occupy a quota. One can imagine the hatred in the hearts of the common people.

Almost immediately, the Pang family was scolded from top to bottom, and those candidates who gained fame through bribery were not spared, and they were also scolded.

Jingshi was boiling, and this matter soon became the hottest thing.

As for the rest, whether it is the entanglement between the crown prince and the fourth prince, or the discussion about Du Dingchen, all of them have become floating clouds, and they are not worth mentioning at all in front of this matter.

Ten days later, the imperial court issued a formal punishment result, Pang Xiuping was sentenced to be executed, the male members of the Pang family were exiled to the northwest, and the female dependents were sold into slavery in the Jiaofang Division, and a family that had only been revitalized for a long time collapsed.

As for those candidates who participated in buying fame.

Emperor Hui Chong naturally showed no mercy, and exiled them to the northwest, not to mention that the descendants of these candidates were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations, nor were they allowed to be officials.

This is a ruthless move, stipulating that three generations are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and no matter how prosperous the family is, it will be dragged down.

As soon as the results of this punishment came out, the people immediately applauded and said that Emperor Hui Chong was the Ming monarch, and all the resentments against the court because of this matter were all reduced.

After the punishment came down, it was quickly implemented, and those who were exiled were not mentioned for the time being, only Pang Xiuping.

Pang Xiuping is the center of this case, the focus of everyone's discussion and the object of hatred.

Pang Xiuping was sentenced to be executed and executed at the entrance of the vegetable market.

On the day of the execution, many people went to watch.

Pang Xiuping is middle-aged, and the disaster of ten days of imprisonment has tortured him into an inhuman shape, his pure skin is dry and cracked, his description is withered, his face is bleak, and he looks so miserable.

When the people saw this, they were especially unrelieved of their hatred, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and other materials were indispensable, and they all greeted Pang Xiuping one by one.

The applause of the common people was in stark contrast to the bleakness on Pang Xiuping's face.

……

Plum Xuanli.

Lu Shuo was holding a brush, writing unhurriedly on the white paper below.

Qingquan rushed in, his face was full of joy, and when he saw Lu Shuo writing, he subconsciously paused, scratched his head and thought about it, patted his head again, and smiled again on his face, calling "Second Master".

Lu Shuo didn't raise his head and continued to write with a pen.

"Finished watching?"

Qingquan was stunned for a moment, and let out a heavy "um", but he didn't say it in detail as usual.

He walked up to Lu Shuo and said with a smile: "Xiao I will tell you something, you are happy to hear it, and you definitely don't have the heart to continue practicing calligraphy." ”

What's so good?

Lu Shuo practiced for a while, but he was also a little tired, and when he heard Qingquan say this, he couldn't help but put down his pen, looked up at him with his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of questions.

"It's from Weizhou!"

Qingquan's eyes were small and crooked, and he said with a grin.

"Now that the lady and the old lady are welcoming people in Songhe Hall, do you want to go and take a look?"

Since Lu Xin got married, Lu Yun has been promoted from the second master to the second master, and the Yuan family has naturally changed his title from his wife to his wife.

When Lu Shuo heard Qingquan say this, he immediately knew what Wei Zhou was sending people over for.

His eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm here to give my cousin's name and eight characters!"

Lu Shuo smiled and shook his head, "These six ceremonies, both men and women should not appear, besides, I am afraid that this time I will come to Weizhou Yuan family with a head and a face, if I go, not only will I not see my cousin, I will not be good, but I will make people laugh, saying that I am unreasonable and do not understand the rules." ”

The six rites are the marriage etiquette of the Han nationality, including Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person, and what people who have come to this place in recent days have to do is the "Najib" step.

As the object of marriage proposal, he is really not suitable to appear.

The Lu family is small, and these marriages are even more sparse, and before Lu Xin got married, Lu Shuo and Qingquan had been guarding Weizhou, so it was normal for Qingquan not to know about it.

Qingquan was a little sneering on his face, and couldn't help but change the topic, talking about what he saw and heard on the execution ground today.

"Don't you see, such a long knife, look at it with a knife, I don't know if the knife is rusty or what, the neck is only cut off in half and can't be cut, blood is spurting all over the ground, that huge man...... Phew, the pang moth is still alive, it's really a scourge left for thousands of years, tsk tsk......"

Didn't cut it all in one go?

"I'm afraid it's on purpose!"

Lu Shuo took the tea cup, walked to the window and stood still, looking at the slowly falling leaves outside the window in a daze.

"Huh?"

Qingquan heard Lu Shuo say this, he was a little confused at first, and then suddenly realized.

"I said, no wonder, what I usually cut is not the same as chopping vegetables and melons, why did I suddenly fall on a corrupt official today...... It should also be trying to solve the hatred in the hearts of the people, don't you see, there was a crowd of people at that time, and the small shops next to it were almost crowded, and when they saw that Pang Xiuping didn't die with a knife, they all applauded!"

Qingquan chattered for a while, knowing that Lu Shuo said, "The tea is gone", so he stopped his mouth and ran out to make tea.

Seeing him jump out like this, Lu Shuo was helpless and funny.

He turned and walked behind the desk, rubbed his shoulders and stretched, and was about to continue writing when there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Sun!"

It turned out to be Sun Zhe.

Lu Shuo was immediately startled when he saw that Sun Zhe's face was slightly pale, his lips were a little bruised, and the Confucian shirt on his body was also wrinkled.

He didn't bother to ask what was wrong, so he hurriedly helped him sit on the stool and let him breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you, how did you get this way?"
