Yu Ruyan buried herself in changing the rolls for a day, Xiao Feiqing made a cup of ginseng tea for her distressedly, and said, "Take a break, don't be in a hurry at this time." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I'm a little tired." Yu Ruyan rubbed her eyebrows and said a little sleepily.

Xiao Feiqing said: "You should be hungry in your belly, I'll ask you to send some supper outside." ”

Yu Ruyan closed her eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, I want to be lighter." ”

After a while, the guards outside sent two bowls of green vegetable porridge, a few plates of refreshing side dishes and a few steamed buns, and the two chatted about the scientific expedition while eating.

"According to adults, how is this scientific expedition?" Yu Ruyan asked.

Xiao Feiqing said: "It's not bad, in this scientific examination, the candidates have improved as a whole, which is a good phenomenon." ”

After a short rest, the two of them were buried in the scroll.

In between the revisions, Yu Ruyan will also think of Tang Yunluo, and I don't know if he is good at home. Xiao Feiqing looked up by chance, saw her and seemed to be thinking, and knew that her heart had flown to Jincheng. Xiao Feiqing sighed and continued to bury himself in the volume.

When you get busy, time flies.

After 25 days of busyness, the marking work has finally come to an end. The two of them selected a total of nearly 200 papers to be used as Jinshi for this imperial examination, and reassigned the rankings according to the merits of the articles. Ten particularly excellent volumes were picked out, which were to be hand-picked by Zhao Wenzheng.

It will be reviewed tomorrow for another day, and it will be submitted to Zhao Wenzheng the day after tomorrow.

Yu Ruyan rubbed her tired and sore eyes, paced in the courtyard, and rested for a while.

"These are all wrong papers, aren't they?" Yu Ruyan returned to the room and asked when she saw the piled up files.

One official replied, "Yes, none of these are true." ”

Yu Ruyan took a few copies casually and flipped through them casually. I accidentally saw an article with beautiful handwriting, beautiful style, and neat volume, which was not inferior to those selected volumes.

"Why didn't you get this roll?" Yu Ruyan asked the officer on duty.

"This ......," the man took it and looked at it, and said, "This scroll was not changed by the lower officials, but I heard that it seems that his poetry is not good, so he didn't take it." The selected papers are all excellent in all three subjects. ”

Yu Ruyan browsed his strategy, judging from the writing skills, the strategy is reasonable and well-founded, why can't it be in poetry?

"Bring me the paper of this candidate's poem." Yu Ruyan said.

"Yes." The official drew out the paper of the poem according to the candidate's name, place of origin and serial number.

Yu Ruyan read it again, and her heart was shocked, and her face changed abruptly.

"Pull out all the papers of this candidate." Yu Ruyan said, "In addition, call Master Xiao back and say that I have something to discuss." ”

Although the official felt strange, he didn't ask too much, and immediately went out to call Xiao Feiqing back.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Feiqing said, "Is there anything wrong with the volume?" ”

Yu Ruyan nodded, closed the door, handed the scroll to Xiao Feiqing and said, "Lord Xiao, take a closer look at this scroll." ”

Xiao Feiqing looked at it, this was a test paper of a candidate named Su'an in Yuxiang County, Guanghan Prefecture.

In the volume of his poems, the poem is a seven-character poem.

"The poem is written in general, it is a poem of seven rules, is this a hidden poem?" Xiao Feiqing muttered to himself, and suddenly shouted, "Strange injustices through the ages?!" ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "And Lord Xiao, look at it again, the first four words of this Tibetan poem are connected to the four words 'Strange Injustices through the Ages', and the font of these four words is different from the others, is this a deliberate reminder to us?" ”

"Could it be that this candidate is taking revenge on us in the name of the exam?" Xiao Feiqing said.

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "I think so." ”

"Are there any clues on this candidate's other papers?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan took out his examination paper of the question and the scriptures, and there was nothing abnormal in reading it, but Xiao Feiqing, who was reading the Fu on the side, said: "You see, it's very strange here, it's the same as the poem, there are a few words that are different from other fonts." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yu Ruyan took the exam paper and looked at it, and sure enough, she found an abnormality in the "Autumn Song Fu" written by Su An.

At first glance, there is nothing in the full text, but when I look closely, I find that in the full text of the speech, there are a few words that are official books, which seem incompatible with other words. Yu Ruyan circled the words with a brush stained with red ink.

"Corrupt officials and bullies lose their conscience, and they only hope that the blue sky will distinguish the wrongs." Xiao Feiqing read it out.

Yu Ruyan sighed: "Sure enough, I want to use the exam to avenge my grievances." ”

"How did you find this volume?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan said: "I also flipped through it casually and stumbled upon it in those few volumes. Thankfully, I took a look, otherwise this grievance would not have been presented to us. ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "I'll go to General Yang and ask him to bring this candidate." ”

According to the register, Yang Chuting quickly brought this candidate named Su An to the Hanlin Academy. I saw that he was handsome, dusty, and indeed dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but he couldn't hide his refined temperament at all.

Seeing Su An's first face, Xiao Feiqing was also surprised, he was a little similar to Yu Ruyan.

"Are you Su An?" Yu Ruyan asked.

"Yes." Su An replied, "I've seen three ......."

Yu Ruyan said: "You have a reputation for raising people, you can avoid kneeling." ”

Xiao Feiqing held up the scroll and handed it to him, asking, "Did you write this scroll?" ”

Su An nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Yu Ruyan asked, "Do you have a grievance that you want to tell us through this?" ”

Su An choked up and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Then tell me, what are the grievances?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Su An looked up at Xiao Feiqing and Yang Chuting, knelt down and said, "This matter is ...... I just want to say to Jade-sama, please forgive me. ”

Xiao Feiqing and Yang Chuting glanced at each other, only to hear Yu Ruyan say, "The two adults should avoid it first." ”

"Okay, we're outside." Yang Chuting said.

After the two went out, Su An knelt down crying and said, "Please avenge my whole family!" ”

Yu Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to help Su An and said, "Sister-in-law, get up quickly, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”

Su An looked at Yu Ruyan in surprise and asked, "My lord, do you know that I am ......?"

"I can tell from the moment you enter the door that you are a woman disguised as a man." Yu Ruyan said, "If you have any grievances, tell me slowly." ”

Yu Ruyan helped her sit down and poured her a cup of tea, only to hear her cry and say: "The little woman's name is Liu Sui, her family lives in Yuxiang County, Guanghan Prefecture, and her husband's name is Su An. The local magistrate bullies banded together to harm my husband and children, adults, and girls......"

Speaking of this, Liu Sui was already crying so much that she couldn't stop crying.

Yu Ruyan waited patiently, and after her voice gradually calmed down, she asked: "There is one thing I don't understand, your husband is a man of merit and fame, and it stands to reason that the local county officials should be stammered." Why do you want to harm you? Is it for money? ”

Liu Sui cried and nodded, and said, "Yes, that bully is a distant relative of the county lord, and he has always been domineering and bullying men and women in our county." Who knows that bully...... He fell in love with the little woman, and only then did he draw out the rights and wrongs behind this......"

It turned out that this willow spike was lost at a young age, so she had to live in a relative's house, that is, her later husband's house. Liu Sui is talented and intelligent, and has been reading and writing with her childhood sweetheart husband Su An since she was a child, and during her husband's exams, it was Liu Sui who has been helping him prepare for class and review. After Su An fell for Xiucai, the Su family made the decision and made the two become relatives. After getting married, the two raised their eyebrows, Qin Se and Ming. Soon after, the second elder of the Su family died, leaving only the young couple. Liu Sui does needlework to supplement the family, and Gongfujun reads.

Su An is very competitive, and after the middle lift, it is even more beautiful in the county, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit. Among them is a distant relative of the county official, the local bully Wang Ji, nicknamed "Wang Yidao". Wang Ji fell in love with Liu Sui's beauty in the Su family, and tempted Su An to divorce his wife with money, but Su An sternly refused.

Wang Ji began to have a bad idea. After discussing with the county officials, Wang Ji found a few gangsters, kidnapped Liu Sui to his home at night, and drugged Su An, asking him to write a "letter of resignation" in a delirious state. At home, Wang Ji forcibly took possession of the unconscious Liu Sui, who woke up and attempted suicide in shame, when Su An came to him, and Wang Ji knocked Su An unconscious. and despicably stripped Liu Sui and Su An naked, and was still in the firewood house, and deliberately called the neighbors to "catch the traitor".

The county official sent someone to arrive and arrest the two, Wang Ji claimed that he had taken Liu Sui as a concubine, and Su An shamelessly raped his beloved concubine. Su An was imprisoned by the county official on the charge of "**** woman". Wang Ji forcibly took Liu Sui home and violently committed many times, causing Liu Sui to miscarry. Liu Sui only knew at this time that she was pregnant, and at this time came the news that Su An had died of a sudden illness in prison.

The successive blows made Liu Sui feel painful, but thinking of her husband and children who died in vain, Liu Sui survived strongly. She began to pretend to be kind to Wang Ji, and she was very courteous, and Wang Ji gradually relaxed his vigilance. Liu Sui took advantage of his outing, escaped from Yuxiang County, and before leaving, he took out all his belongings in the stove pit and went all the way to the capital. Just before the Spring Festival, Liu Sui gathered all her belongings, sold all her jewelry, made fake documents in her husband's name on the black market, and successfully entered the examination room.

Liu Sui didn't have much chance of winning, and he didn't know if this injustice scroll could be seen. Yanagi used her talent and wit to write her grief and anger on the volume.
