Qingyunlou is also a restaurant, because there is a huge empty space in the restaurant, it is made into a ring, which can make people learn from literature and martial arts, so it is very popular with people.

The martial arts are approaching, the ring of Qingyunlou has long been cleaned up, the pen and ink and other things placed on weekdays have been removed, and the weapon rack has been put on, and the three-storey restaurant has been built into a ring, surrounded by an indoor patio in the middle, and the center of the patio is the ring.

On one side of the ring, there is also a gambling game, a mahogany carved shelf, on which are hung some gold lacquered wooden cards, the names on the wooden cards are written, and the names on the top are the names of the martial artists who are expected to win the championship in Jinke, and then the heads are also written with odds.

Wu Zhuangyuan, Wu Bangyan and Wu Tanhua all opened a gambling game, and at this moment, there are still some people wearing arrow-sleeved brocade robes around to bet.

Qingyun Building is now in and out of most of the martial arts people, Zhou Niu and the two adults saw that the civil officials in and out of this kind of place is too eye-catching, the two of them ordered the little guy to go in first to follow the thief, into the ready-to-wear shop next to him, changed into a pair of clothes, and then entered Qingyun Building together.

As soon as I entered the building, I saw the gambling wall, on the column of Wu Zhuangyuan, the first name on the top was an acquaintance, and the word "Jingrong" was written in gold, and the odds below were seven to one.

Daqin does not restrict the sons of the nobles from taking the meritorious service, but most of the ordinary noble children do not take the road of meritorious fame, since they can enter the government by virtue of the channel without relying on the meritorious fame, they have to go to the meritorious fame, but let the family criticize and fight with the children of the poor family, which will make the magnates feel that they have lost their worth.

Marquis Xuanping, as a marquis of Yipin, although he participated in politics in the morning and had the right to play the emperor in front of him, Jing Rong was too young to have a serious errand.

Jing Rong happened to be a kid seven years ago, and he was admitted to the first martial arts of Daqin, which shocked the world. Since then, there has been no movement, and the world is not surprised, after all, they are all first-class marquis, and there is no need to take any martial arts exams. Who knew that this year, Xuanping Hou reported for martial arts.

Therefore, there will be the name of Xuanping Hou Jingrong on this gambling game.

Lord Zhou looked at the odds at the bottom of his head and said, "Xuanping Hou is still too young, it seems that there are not many people who believe that he can win the martial champion." ”

Lord Niu nodded when he heard this, and said: "Martial arts are not like the others, it always takes a year of hard work and hard practice to become it, how old is the Marquis of Xuanping, he has only been thirteen or fourteen years since he started practicing martial arts from his mother's womb, and he is still a child, no matter how good the foundation is, no matter how high the qualifications are, he plays majestic in the capital on weekdays, and it is just a matter of being a gentleman, this is a competition for the whole Qin martial arts, don't say that it is the champion of martial arts, and it is difficult for the old man to see that he can enter the first class." ”

"Two masters, here, here."

While the two were talking, the little guy who had been sent in stood at the top of the stairs and waved at the two, apparently discovering the traces of the thief from earlier.

The two of them didn't have the heart to watch any gambling game, so they hurriedly went over and followed the little guy upstairs.

After the two pillars of incense, the two adults of Zhou and Niu, who had been secretly observing, were shocked to see the two lifters follow the thief to a secluded place, and then each took out a few silver tickets and handed them to the thief, and the thief took out a paper scroll from his arms that he didn't know what it was and gave it to the two lifters, and at the end he said in a suppressed voice: "The master can do this kind of thing, no one above dares to take this risk, you don't show the news." If the news is revealed, what will be the consequences, hehe. ”

Seeing his sneer, the two raised their voices and promised in unison, and then the three of them looked around sneakily and quickly dispersed.

Zhou, the two adults of Niu hid in fear, and they didn't dare to come out, but they were not discovered, and they waited until a few people left. The two hurriedly entered a private room and began to discuss with solemn expressions.

Master Zhou took two steps on the spot and said, "What does Brother Niu think?" ”

Master Niu poured two sips of tea and said, "What Brother Zhou thinks, what does the younger brother think." ”

Master Zhou immediately stopped in front of the table, slapped his palm on the table, and said: "This Liu Minsheng is too bold, leaking the questions of the imperial examination is a crime of stealing the house and cutting off the head!" ”

The thief took Liu Minsheng into the alley and secretly gave Liu Minsheng a stack of silver tickets. Now the thief has changed, and he is dressed in brocade clothes, and he is mixed in Qingyunlou, a place where martial artists gather.

Just now, the two Wuju people and the thief were obviously making a transaction, and the two Wuju people bought two pieces of paper with something written on them.

Naturally, the paper will not be calligraphy and painting, not calligraphy and painting, but it will have to be bought with a large denomination of silver tickets, what paper is so valuable?

Thinking of Liu Minsheng, as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of this martial arts examination, Zhou Niu and the two adults naturally immediately guessed that this was another case of fraud in scientific examinations, after all, this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened.

Lord Niu's face was not very good-looking, seeing that Lord Zhou's angry chest was rising and falling, he poured him a cup of tea, and pulled Lord Zhou to sit down, and then said: "Brother Zhou is not too angry, cases of fraud in scientific examinations are not uncommon in all dynasties, and the literary examination of martial arts is not as strict as that of Jinshi and is valued by the imperial court." Liu Minsheng...... It is not strange for people to die for money and be greedy. It's just that the old man didn't expect that Lord Liu's courage would be so great, and he almost didn't openly come forward to sell the test questions. ”

Lord Zhou drank a cup of tea, calmed down a lot at this time, and said, "Brother Niu, what should we do in front of us?" No, the old man went to the palace to meet the emperor and expose the matter. ”

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, but Lord Niu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?" Can't be so impulsive! Not to mention that we don't have empirical evidence in our hands now, but there is empirical evidence, and the literary examination has not yet passed, so it cannot be said that the literary examination will definitely go wrong. Even if we sue Liu Minsheng in front of the emperor, Liu Minsheng also has a lot of excuses, this matter is very involved, it can't be Liu Minsheng alone, it's not good, the adults next to the Ministry of Rites can't get out of it, we have to find out clearly, so we can act. ”

Lord Zhou gradually calmed down when he heard this, sat down and said, "Brother Niu is still calm, according to Brother Niu, how should we act?" ”

Lord Niu slapped his beard twice and said, "In this way, let's get a test question from the thief's hand first, and then send someone to ambush in Qingyun Tower, and see how many people have bought this thing." The next three days is the literary test, wait for the literary test to begin, to see if the test question is really leaked, if it is really at that time, then the test question we bought from the thief is the evidence of the crime. In addition, you can send a few more people to keep an eye on this thief, and as soon as the text test is opened, he will take him down, and he can't let him run away, at that time, the human and material evidence are there, but I want to see how he Liu Minsheng quibbles! ”

Master Zhou suddenly slapped the table and said, "Okay!" Just do it! ”

It's not easy to buy test questions, and if you find the thief directly, it's easy to expose yourself. It's all over, Zhou and Liu know some of the ways in it, and they have been in Qingyunlou for two days, and only the day before the literary exam, they spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a test question through the secret channel.

The martial arts system of the Great Qin follows the martial arts of the previous dynasty, and the literary test has the martial arts and security department, the wisdom and general department, and the military strategy and the public department, and the system is complete. There is also a special textbook "Seven Books of Wujing" specially compiled for martial arts, although the difficulty of the martial arts examination is not as difficult as that of the Wenju Jinshi, but it is not easy to pass guò.

Because of the middle and rear of the martial arts, the official position was directly awarded, so the people who relied on the martial arts, although they were not as successive as the Jinshi Branch, was also a grand occasion in Daqin.

Wuju people entered the tribute courtyard, Zhou, Niu two adults in the tribute courtyard outside the anxious back and forth, after about two pillars of incense hour, finally wearing a green court uniform of the right squire of the military department Lang Gao came out.

Zhou, Niu and the two adults hurriedly greeted him and said, "What's the matter?" Have you memorized a few questions in the essay exam? Tell us about what they are. ”

The martial arts examination is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but in the end, it is the selection of generals and commanders, and the Ministry of War also has to work hard, and the invigilator of today's literary examination is from the Ministry of War.

Lord Gao looked at Zhou and Niu strangely, and he really didn't understand, these two were so interested in the test questions of the martial arts exam, they couldn't wait to know.

"The officials of the two adults' families remember that they didn't participate in this year's martial arts...... "Lord Gao wondered.

Zhou, Niu and the two adults urged again: "Now that the martial arts people have entered the Tribute Academy, there is nothing to say about the test questions, right?" Lord Gao, hurry up and tell the two of us, this matter is very important! ”

They were in a hurry, so Master Gao took out two test papers from his wide sleeves, handed them to the two, and said, "It's all on top, look at it." ”

Zhou, Niu and the two adults hurriedly unfolded the silk cloth, only glanced twice, and suddenly their faces changed greatly, and they looked at each other, and Lord Zhou rolled up the test paper, and then rushed to Lord Gao: "Immediately block the Tribute Academy, otherwise there will be any consequences, Lord Gao will have to bear a share!" Lord Niu and I went into the palace to meet the emperor. ”

Lord Zhou said, pulled Lord Niu and the two hurried to the palace, Lord Gao tightened his eyebrows, but he didn't know what was going on.

But looking at Zhou, the appearance of the two adults of Niu also knew that something was wrong.

Master Gao hesitated for a moment, turned around and entered the Tribute Courtyard, and gave a few orders, which made the Tribute Courtyard temporarily sealed, and everyone who remained silent took care of it.

Outside the Gongyuan, many of the family members who accompanied the people to the examination had not yet left, and people could be seen sitting or standing everywhere.

Under a plane tree in the east, Ma Tengxiang was wearing a set of leggings and pants that the usual servants love to wear, making the most ordinary subordinate dress, his face was easy to see, his skin was rough and dull, and he was squatting inconspicuously under the book, looking at the sky with a dog's tail in his mouth.

Seeing Zhou, the two adults of Niu changed their faces drastically, and they hurriedly went to the palace, Ma Tengxiang's eyes lit up, hey, spit out the grass in his mouth, stood up and quietly left the tribute courtyard, and rushed all the way to Prince Li's mansion.

At that time, Emperor Qin Ying summoned Zhou and Niu into the imperial study to reply. When they entered the temple, they knelt down together and shouted long live.

Emperor Qin Ying raised his head, raised his hand, and said, "The two adults are flat, how can the two of you meet at this time?" But what do you have to do? ”

Zhou and Niu stood up, and Lord Zhou stepped forward and presented the cheat sheet of the test questions bought from the thief in Qingyunlou to Emperor Qin Ying's imperial library with the scroll he had just obtained from the Gongyuan, and said, "Your Majesty, take a look at these two things in Weichen's hands." ”

The eunuch Wang Fuquan hurriedly stepped forward, took the things, and presented them to Emperor Qin Ying. Emperor Qin Ying opened the two things and looked at them, and immediately frowned.

However, I saw that the two scrolls were the six policy topics of the three subjects of the martial arts examination, and on the cheat sheet, there were a total of twenty propositions, and the questions on the top were exactly the same as three on the scrolls!

Emperor Qin Ying immediately sensed that something was wrong, looked at Lord Zhou, and said, "Where did Aiqing get this small piece of paper?" ”

Lord Zhou's expression was calm, and he said: "Your Majesty, the small paper was purchased from Qingyun Building by Weichen and Weichen yesterday for three hundred taels of silver, and the scroll was taken out from the tribute courtyard by Weichen and Weichen. Your Majesty, the questions of the martial arts examination were leaked and bought in advance! ”

Although the martial arts examination is not as strict as the entrance examination, it will not find several great Confucians to jointly write the questions to prevent missing questions. However, after the questions of the literary examination were also released, they were sealed and guarded, and they only waited for this morning to ask for the scroll to be sent to the Gongyuan.

If anyone can know these test questions in advance and still sell them in Qingyunlou, only Feng Ziye, the governor of Gyeonggi Wei who is in charge of the examination questions, and the upper and lower officials in charge of the cultural examination in the Ministry of Rites will have this opportunity. And there may be more than one person involved.

Emperor Qin Ying attaches great importance to this martial arts, just because the country of Great Qin is not very stable, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, he still attached more importance to the military generals, and Emperor Qin Ying also wanted to dig up some of his own people in this martial arts, and promote them as protégés of the Son of Heaven, collect people's hearts, put them in the top position, slowly cultivate, develop their wings, and then eat away at the power of the two regents in the army.

It's good now, the martial arts haven't started yet, and it's become a big joke!

Emperor Qin Ying's face was pale, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.

Lord Niu added fuel to the fire again, and told Emperor Qin Ying that they had followed Liu Minsheng in the Dingfeng Teahouse before, and had seen Liu Minsheng collect the silver tickets of the people who sold the cheat sheets of the exam questions in the alley.

Emperor Qin Ying's handful of pinched scrolls crumpled when he heard this, as if it was Liu Minsheng who was bad for him, he said hatefully: "Order the Praetorian Guard to assist the Gyeonggi Guard to block the Gongyuan, and give me a search, all the entrainments and bribes will be deprived of the identity of the lifter, all the officials involved in the Ministry of Rites will be imprisoned, and Feng Ziye, the governor of the Gyeonggi Guard, will also be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Transmission will be Shangshu Zhao."

Pu Gang, Xia Yongsheng, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wu Chongjun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, jointly tried the case, suspended the martial arts examination, and the time for the literary examination was to be publicized by the imperial court after the rectification. ”

Emperor Qin Ying gave an order, waved his hand to order Zhou and Niu to retreat, and then angrily swept the things on the dragon case to the ground.

The movement of the Gongyuan was so great that as soon as Emperor Qin Ying's decree was issued, the government office of the imperial court blew up, and it didn't take long for the fraud case to spread all over the place.

In the snow courtyard, Gu Qing easily completed the drawings of the restaurant, and when she saw the warm sun, she asked her mother-in-law to carry the beauty to the golden laurel tree in the courtyard, lying down and reading the medical book.

Wen Qing walked into the courtyard from the outside, and when she arrived in front of Gu Qingwan, she leaned over and whispered in Gu Qingwan's ear: "Girl, the horse guards in the outer courtyard have come in." ”

Wen Qing actually didn't know what Gu Qingwan told Ma Tengxiang to do, but Ma Tengxiang was a person from the outer courtyard in the end, and it was Gu Qingwan's private affairs that went out of the house to do, so Wen Qing instinctively chose to avoid people's eyes and ears and lowered her voice.

Gu Qingwan didn't raise his eyes when he heard the words, and he finished writing down the grass head square that he had just memorized half, and then he casually turned the page and said, "What did the horse guard say?" ”

Wen Qing hurriedly said: "The horse guard said, 'It's done'." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't feel a smile on her lips, so she raised her eyes, looked at Wen Qing, and ordered: "Send a message to the outer courtyard, let him not go out of the house these days, and avoid it, after all, although his appearance has changed, his body shape is also easy to expose." Then he said that I thanked him, and then I wrapped fifty taels of silver from my suitcase, and said that he had worked hard, and it was considered the money for wine, and let him take it. ”

Wen Qing wrote them down one by one when she heard this, and went to the main room to open the box and take the silver.

Gu Qingwan leaned his head on the big pillow and picked up the medical book. Gu Qingwan has a good memory since she was a child, and although she has never forgotten some poems, she will definitely be able to memorize them after reading them two or three times.

Now I don't know if the nectar of the jade lotus has the effect of enhancing memory, Gu Qingwan found that even if it was such an obscure medical book, she just couldn't read it, and she could memorize it by rote after reading it once.

If you look at it in such a low voice, then you remember it more firmly, and you can simply memorize it backwards.

This has an advantage, when I read a medical book, I didn't understand it at the time, but when I read another book, there may be a related place, and I have memorized a lot of medical books, and slowly Gu Qingwan found that he had some understanding of the meaning, and now he has found some doorways.

Qin Yu strode in from outside the courtyard and saw Gu Qingwan at a glance.

The tall golden cinnamon, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the leaves are verdant, the small petals are blooming in clusters, and the charming and long fragrance comes to the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

The fragrance of golden cinnamon is haunting, and the woman who lies lazily on the beauty couch under the golden cinnamon is even more haunting and can't take her eyes off.

She wore a long gown embroidered with smoky purple embroidered magnolia flowers, and a plain white brocade dress underneath. The watery skirt scattered from the beauty couch, rippling slightly with the breeze, and the skirt was embroidered with silver threads and plum blossoms, reflecting the speckled silver light.

Her long black hair was only loosely tied in a wishful bun, with plum blossom white hostas on it, simple and elegant, decorated with thin silver silk beaded tassels, with the movement of turning her head from the book, the tassels shook lightly, hitting the white and clear slender neck.

The morning sun sprinkled from the golden osmanthus branches, reflecting on her body, and her thick black curly eyelashes seemed to be dyed with a layer of soft and warm light, revealing her rippling eyes in a flash.

The beauty is picturesque and pleasing to the eye.

Qin Yu suddenly forgot the purpose of rushing over just now, as well as the words that he was in a hurry to ask, or Wen Qing took the purse out, saw Qin Yu, and said hello.

This alarmed Qin Yu, and successfully made Gu Qingwan, who was reading a book, turn his head to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu took another step, glanced at the large bag of bulging purses that Wen Qing was holding in his hand, and said, "What is it?" ”

Wen Qing glanced at Gu Qingwan, and saw that Gu Qingwan didn't react, so she replied: "It was the girl who asked the slave maid to take the silver to reward the horse guards." ”

Qin Yu waved his hand and motioned for Wen Qing to leave. He walked towards Gu Qingwan, stood still in front of the beauty's couch, lowered his head and stared at Gu Qingwan as if he was substantially focused.

Gu Qingwan raised her head to meet Qin Yu's gaze, seeing that he was only staring at herself, and she didn't speak for a long time, she raised her hand and rubbed her neck, and said, "What's wrong?" What does Your Highness look at? Is there something wrong with me? ”

Her expression was quiet and a little dazed, but Qin Yu's heart was churning more and more.

This woman, does she know what kind of uproar she caused in the capital, she said that the Liu family can solve it by herself, but Qin Yu actually doesn't believe it.

Gu Qingwan was a boudoir woman, and she didn't even ask him for manpower, and she was trapped in the inner house all day long, and Liu Minsheng said that she was also a four-grade waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Qin Yu felt that Gu Qing's late statement that she could solve the Liu family was like talking in a dream, but her tone was too natural, which made Qin Yu curious and watching.

It's just that he never expected that Gu Qingwan would really do it, and he would make such a big fuss and let her do it!

Just now he was in the government office, and when he heard about the Gongyuan, he didn't even believe his ears, and even now, he was still in amazement.

Marvel at the wrist of the woman in front of you, and marvel at her intelligence in turning her hands over to the clouds and covering her hands for the rain.

Looking at Gu Qingwan, who looked up, Qin Yu spoke for a long time before he spoke, "Do you know that now the Metropolitan Governor of Gyeonggi Wei, the first-class general Feng Ziye, and half of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are in prison?" Do you still have the heart to read? If it weren't for the fact that you had been asking Ma Tengyun to investigate Liu Minsheng and Wuju a few days ago, you would never have thought that this matter could have anything to do with you! ”
