"Brother Xu's words are wrong, I heard that although Zhang Wande is greedy for money, he does not accept bribes, and when the forester sent him money, he beat it out, although it was difficult to dredge when Lord Yuan was a pusher in the past, he would never be treated like this." The fat scholar said, after finishing speaking, he took a bite of food and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.

Xu Qingteng stood up and said angrily: "You cowardly guys, you are afraid of this and that, so the young master should do this by himself." ”

As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves and left.

“…… This idiot. The weak scholar stroked his forehead.

Not long after Xu Qing left, another subordinate walked in outside the door, it was Jiang Huashan's subordinate, he bowed down and said, "Childe, there is news that you may be very interested in. ”

"What's the news?"

"The red-sleeved girl of Pingle Fang just said that if anyone is the first place in the examination, she is willing to recruit her as a guest to enter the curtain!"

The weak scholar got up instantly, pulled his legs and left the private room, and the fat scholar threw his chopsticks casually and followed closely.

Jiang Huashan was about to follow, and grabbed his shoulder with one hand. When I turned my head to look, I saw Deng Jia grinning, revealing slightly yellowed teeth: "Brother Jiang, there is still work to be done in the matter of exam questions!" ”

Jiang Huashan's cheeks twitched, but after all, he promised the other party, and he didn't regret it, so he said with a cold face: "Then let's go now!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Jiang." Dunja smiled.

Out of the restaurant, the two got into Jiang Huashan's carriage, and the carriage immediately started. After walking for a while, Deng Jia lifted the curtain and saw the carriage driving out of the city, frowning and saying, "Could it be outside the city?" ”

"This kind of thing is naturally more secretive." Jiang Huashan looked out the car window and said casually.

Deng Jia rubbed his hands and asked, "I don't know how much that thing costs?" ”

"One hundred taels."

Deng Jia exclaimed: "This is too expensive, isn't it?" Besides, I'll only buy one! ”

"The price is uniform, if Brother Deng doesn't want to buy it, let's go back." Jiang Huashan looked indifferent.

After hesitating for a moment, Deng Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels." ”

The carriage traveled all the way to a mountain villa in the suburbs, Jiang Huashan knocked on the door, and after a long time, a voice came from the door: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Jiang Huashan."

The door opened quickly, and the man who opened the door said with a smile: "It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi, please come in." ”

Jiang Huashan nodded, and took Deng Jia inward, and when he passed a room, Deng Jia heard the sound of shaking the dice inside, and also heard: "Buy and leave!" "Great!" Voices like "I'm betting small" sounded frequently.

He squeezed his eyes at Jiang Huashan: "I didn't expect there to be a casino here, it's really a good place!" ”

Jiang Huashan raised his eyebrows: "The casinos in the city are all closed, there must be a place to be happy, but this place is not something that can be played casually, you must have an acquaintance to bring it, and I will help you get a brand, and you can come to play in the future." ”

"Brother Jiang is really good to my younger brother." Deng Jia looked grateful.

Under the leadership of Jiang Huashan, Deng Jia came to a study in the inner courtyard, only to see a scribe in his thirties sitting in the room. ”

"Young Master Jiang." Mr. Wu returned the salute and asked, "Is this son also here to buy questions?" ”

"Yes." Dunja hastened to answer.

Mr. Wu ignored his words and stared at Jiang Huashan.

Jiang Huashan said: "Brother Deng has an uncle who is a doctor of scripture in Qimen County. ”

Seeing this qi ng shape, Deng Jia was stunned at first, and quickly reacted, it seems that if there is no background at home, even if you want to spend money, you can't buy exam questions.

Mr. Wu nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Then pay first." ”

Deng Jia didn't hesitate much, and took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it over.

Mr. Wu took the silver and handed back a bag: "The thing is inside, there is a badge in it, bring the badge when you enter the examination room, and the people who search you will not find anything on you." ”

Deng Jia happily took the bag and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this kind of service, it's great." ”

Mr. Wu put away his smile and said solemnly: "But there is one thing that please remember, you are never allowed to disclose the exam questions to others, if we find out, no matter how good your results are, we also have a way to make you fall off the list." ”

"Don't worry, I'll understand."

Just above the trio's heads, several pieces of roof tiles were lifted, revealing a small hole.

Li Ruozhen looked through the small hole indifferently at everything below.

……

The third day of February.

With a drum, the last of the imperial examination was finally over, and as soon as Lu Yuan came out of the examination room, he saw Sima Rui and the others walking towards him.

He was slightly puzzled, where did Zhang Shouliang go? Looking around, I saw Zhang Shouliang's figure next to Su Qingzhe, the two were talking, and they seemed to know each other.

Sima Rui followed Lu Yuan's gaze and introduced to Lu Yuan: "Next to Shouliang is Su Qingzhe, we just met yesterday. ”

Wang Hui said with a smile: "It's a pity that Brother Mu went home directly yesterday, but he missed a good show." ”

"What's the show?"

Sima Rui said: "Brother Mu, do you know where the three of us went yesterday?" ”

"I don't know."

Sima Rui smiled proudly: "We went to Pingle Fang, and we also met the first Oiran of Pingle Fang, the girl with red sleeves. ”

"How did you end up there?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.

I also added in my heart, where did you get the money to go there? He could see that Sima Rui and Zhang Shouliang's family conditions were not very good.

Wang Hui explained: "The girl with flat red sleeves said yesterday that if anyone wins the first prize in this imperial examination, he is willing to be recruited as a guest of honor. ”

At this time, Zhang Shouliang had separated from Su Qingzhe and was walking over here, and when he heard Wang Hui's words, he said a little shyly: "Brother Wang broke the bill yesterday." ”

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Hui and thought that he had also paid for the tea the day before yesterday, and he seemed to be a bold person.

Wang Hui didn't care: "What is this, I am far inferior to a few of you in terms of learning, and there are just two stinky money at home, which is not worth mentioning." ”

After speaking, he smiled and proposed: "Why don't we go to Pingle Fang again today to have a look, maybe the girl with flat red sleeves will come out with a couplet." ”

"What couplet?" Lu Yuanqi said.

"That's right." Wang Hui explained: "Yesterday, Miss Ping came out of the sub-couplet, as long as she can answer it, she can go upstairs to talk, the first to answer is Brother Zhang, he could have gone up, who knew that a Su Qingzhe suddenly appeared, not only out of the couplet, but also better than Brother Zhang's couplet, but he did not go up after answering, and left directly. ”

"It seems that Su Qingzhe is not only talented, but also very good." Lu Yuan commented that he was a little more interested in him.

Sima Rui snorted: "I think Brother Zhang's pair is better than Su Qingzhe, Su Qingzhe's guy is just pretending." ”

"Then why don't you hurry over, maybe there is another pair, Brother Zhang can just compete with Su Qingzhe." Wang Hui urged.

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "A few brothers can go to the station by themselves, the younger brother already has a wife at home, and it is a little inconvenient to go there." ”

Sima Rui's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "...... Then I'm not going either. ”

Zhang Shouliang was also unwilling to let Wang Hui break the bank, shook his head and refused, and in the end only Wang Hui went.

He was very puzzled in his heart, when would he not be able to go to Pingle Fang if he had a wife's room?

Lu Yuan said goodbye to a few people and returned to Jiedu Mansion.

Returning to the back house from the side door, as soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she saw Lu Yutong jumping up and down, and Li Ruozhen stood aside to supervise, seemingly teaching her martial arts.

After seeing Lu Yuan, Li Ruozhen immediately came over and said, "Senior brother, I have found a stronghold that sells exam questions." ”

"Oh? Where is it? Who did it? Lu Yuan asked again and again.

"On the outskirts of the southern part of the city, a scribe in his thirties is selling inscriptions, and I haven't seen any official he is dealing with."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on him, as long as you find out that he is in hand with the officials of Hui'an Mansion, you will immediately arrest them." ”

"Okay, I'll go over at once."

"Shall you leave after eating?"

"Nope." Li Ruozhen waved his hand, and the figure quickly disappeared. As long as the case is handled, she has always been vigorous and resolute, and she has a bit of the demeanor of a goddess.
