Chapter 57: The Truth Revealed

As soon as these words came out, Xu Wan'er and He Tangzhi both panicked and looked at Lu Yunqing.

When Lu Yunqing heard this, he apologized to the young man surnamed Luo, and said regretfully: "What the son said is good, but the little woman can't embroider for the time being." ”

"Can't embroider?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, and their eyes looked at Lu Yunqing with a little strangeness.

Isn't this noble son making a fuss, Lu Yunqing doesn't have any real talent in the first place?

The young man surnamed Luo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he thought of something, and his eyes fell on her hand.

Lu Yunqing sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and lifted his sleeves, revealing a pair of red and swollen wrists.

"Three hours is too short, the little woman had to make this decision in order to complete the embroidery, and now she can't even hold the needle steadily, which disappoints the child."

Things seem to get a little tricky.

The young man surnamed Luo frowned rarely, and in this situation, he couldn't think of any way to prove that Lu Yunqing was right immediately.

"This son doesn't have to worry about the little girl, in fact, there are still methods."

Lu Yunqing suddenly spoke up, which made the young man surnamed Deluo slightly stunned, and then a trace of interest appeared in his eyes, "Let's hear it." ”

Lu Yunqing bowed respectfully to the lord of the mansion and said: "Actually, the students encountered the same thing in the morning painting exam, but it was not Xu Wan'er who prevented me from taking the retest, but the exam, Mr. He Tangzhi." ”

As soon as these words came out, He Tangzhi, who was standing in the crowd, immediately blew his beard angrily and glared, stood up and pointed at Lu Yunqing and scolded:

"Full of nonsense! Lu Yunqing, you don't know how to learn, you wronged the deputy owner of the embroidery workshop, and you still want to splash dirty water on the old man, you are really lawless and uneducated! Mansion master, such a stubborn woman is not worthy of being a student of Hanmei Academy at all, and please ask the mansion master to be the master of the old man! ”

Seeing that He Tang was full of confidence, everyone was even more confused in their eyes, and they really didn't know which side to believe.

was scolded by He Tang, Lu Yunqing was not angry, only smiled slightly, and asked the mansion master: "Master, during the re-examination, are any examiners allowed to leave the examination room?" ”

The mansion master nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

"That's right."

A faint smile appeared on Lu Yunqing's face, "He Tangzhi's craftsmanship in dropping the bag painting is really admirable, but I don't know what the level of Mr. painting's painting is?" I see that you are quite fond of your students' paintings today, so you should be reluctant to destroy them, right? ”

When Lu Yunqing said this, where could He Tangzhi still hold on, he turned around and ran away without saying a word, everyone was stunned by this sudden change, and no one stopped him for a while.

At this moment, the young man surnamed Luo shouted: "Bayonet!" ”

He Tangzhi only saw a black shadow falling from the sky, and then he only felt that the back of his neck was hit hard, and he fell down in front of him.

When the person was caught, the master of the Liu Mansion reacted with a spirit, his face turned blue with anger, there was such a big mistake in the retest, he was actually kept in the dark all the time, what did the chief examiners and deputy examiners do? Didn't even notice this little trick?!

"Mansion master, I said that He Tangzhi has a problem, but you still don't believe it. If it weren't for the help of this noble son, how would we be worthy of the many students who came to take the exam? ”

Mr. Qi shook his head and sighed, and then said to everyone: "You should also think about it, He Tangzhi used his position to cheat on behalf of others, and there must be more than one person. ”

"Brother Qi said this, I also thought of it, a few days ago, He Tangzhi came to my examination room to inspect, obviously there was no one left, but he still didn't leave, until a candidate handed in the paper, he personally took it and sent it to the main examination table before leaving, I saw that the article was good, so I let her pass."

"Brother Chen, what you said is exactly what I saw!"

"There are also calligraphy exams in the exam room!"

“……”

Everyone, you say a word, I tell the details in a word, and the face of the lord of the Liu Mansion is getting darker and darker.

If this matter is poked out, all the officials involved in the assessment will suffer, and it will fall on his head, at least it will be a crime of "poor supervision".

The lord of the Liu Mansion thought with a headache, and at this time, the bayonet grabbed the back of He Tangzhi's coat and dragged it in front of everyone, it seemed that the strength was greater, and all the things in He Tangzhi's sleeve robe fell out, and they were scattered all over the ground, broken silver, waste paper balls, and a rolled-up paper tube specially wrapped in slightly hard paper.

"What are they?"

Mr. Qi stepped forward to pick up one of the paper balls and opened it, and when he saw it, his pupils immediately shrank, and he presented the crumpled paper to the mansion master, "Mansion master, look, this ink treasure has words on it, called Lu Dong'er, He Tangzhi really helped others cheat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the gentlemen stepped forward to pick up the paper balls.

"This is the political examination room!"

"Blatantly cheating, it's really unreasonable!"

"It is also said that Lu Yunqing is lawless, and He Tangzhi is really lawless!"

"He's got a big heart! Actually brought all the cheating stuff with him. ”

"What if you don't have it with you? There are stewards around this examination room to monitor and prevent candidates from cheating, there is no place to hide things, you see he is hiding under our noses, if it weren't for this noble son, we don't know how long we will be hidden! ”

With a dark face, the mansion master picked up the only well-preserved paper tube on the ground that was well preserved by He Tangzhi, and took it to an examination table next to him to unfold it, and a shocking painting suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

I saw that the coloring on both sides of the paper was half cold and half warm. On the left is the warm Zhumen family, singing and dancing, the wine table is staggered, the table is full of meat and vegetables, it is a luxurious wine and meat banquet; On the right half of the street is a cold and deserted street, separated by a blood-red high gate, and there are two little beggars shrunk on the side of the street, and there is a frozen stiff, skinny corpse next to the beggar, his body is covered by the wind and snow, only two eyes are empty, looking at the big family of the Zhu Gate.

The extremely shocking and ironic picture made everyone present have goosebumps.

Mr. Qi couldn't help but tremble, and muttered: "Amazing work, amazing work!" I was wrong, was the painting in the primary selection actually painted by Lu Yunqing himself? ”

"Good painting!"

The young man surnamed Luo had a gleam in his eyes, and walked close to the painting, only to see a small line of poetry inscribed on the edge.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, dry glory is close at hand, and it is difficult to tell it again - Lu Yunqing, left in the re-examination of Hanmei Girls' School."

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road......"

The young man surnamed Luo muttered and repeated two sentences, his eyes were even brighter, and he looked back and said, "Miss Lu, can you sell this painting to Ben Hou?" Although this transformation should not be defiled with copper stench, Ben Hou really likes it too much! Even if you make a request, why don't I recommend you and send you to the Hanmei Girls' School in the capital? ”

"Little Marquis, don't do it!"

The lord of the mansion jumped when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "This is not in accordance with the rules, Miss Lu is from our Luzhou City, and her home is also located in Luzhou City, and it is not appropriate for the girl's family to go to Beijing alone." ”

"Oh?"

The young man surnamed Luo raised his eyebrows and looked at the mansion master with a smile, "Then let her stay here and let you old fools delay her?" ”

Speaking of this, the face of the young man surnamed Luo suddenly turned cold, "What a great painter in the future, I almost delayed you!" Liu Zhao, do you still have the face to talk to Ben Hou about the rules?! Then shouldn't I also investigate your dereliction of duty this time? ”

The mansion master's face changed in fright, and without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Hou Ye is angry!" ”

As soon as the lord of the mansion knelt, all the stewards also knelt down, but the group of gentlemen hesitated, not knowing whether to kneel or not.

"Something without bones is not as good as a group of teaching gentlemen!"

The young man surnamed Luo scolded with a cold face, this Liu Zhao felt too flattering when he saw it for the first time, not like the master of the academy at all, but like those goods who have been in the officialdom for a long time.

But at this moment, Lu Yunqing also wanted to kneel down, and the young man surnamed Luo hurriedly got out of the way when he saw it, "Miss Lu, what are you doing?" ”

Lu Yunqing saw that he didn't accept it, so he had to give a blessing and said: "Thank you Hou Ye for justifying the name of the people's daughter, the people's daughter can't repay it, since the Hou Ye likes this painting, then I will give it to the Hou Ye." ”

"Is that true?"

The young man surnamed Luo's eyes lit up slightly, and his fan pointed at Lu Yunqing and said with a smile: "This is what you said, but you are not allowed to regret it." ”

"What the folk girl said, she will not go back."

Lu Yunqing smiled slightly, glanced at Yuan Xue, the owner of the embroidery workshop with a bloodless face, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly again: "As for today's matter, as long as the initiator is punished, the little woman will no longer be held accountable." Although the lord of the mansion is at fault, but this time the selection of Hanmei Girls' School is all organized by him, and he is inevitably unable to do it, and he also asks Hou Ye to open up the net and be extrajudicial and gracious. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a look of surprise.

You know, the worst victim in this retest is Lu Yunqing, the paintings were dropped, the embroidery was burned, ordinary people should be angry, and they can't wait to let all the people involved go to prison, why did Lu Yunqing intercede for the lord of the mansion instead?

The mansion master who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look up at Lu Yunqing, and a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Although he is an old guy mixed in the officialdom, he is not cold-hearted, and there will naturally be emotions that he should have, Lu Yunqing can still intercede for him in such a situation, he is more moved, and even has a rare self-blame, such a good student with excellent conduct almost let him miss it, what a sin!

"You get up first."

The young man surnamed Luo opened his mouth expressionlessly, making people unable to see his anger.

Lu Yunqing straightened up, his expression calm and peaceful.

She didn't do this for the mansion master, the mansion master was just a shield she pulled in casually, what she really wanted to save was Yuan Xue.

If it weren't for Yuan Xue to take her in her previous life, she would have starved to death on the streets of Luzhou City in the ice and snow, if it weren't for the years of the embroidery workshop to study medicine and embroidery skills, even if she could be reborn after dying early in her previous life, she would not have been able to have so many advantages.

The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, she wants to save Yuan Xue, but if she only intercedes for Yuan Xue, not only does it seem unreasonable, but also she will have a lot of enemies for Yuan Xueshu.

Instead of this, it is better to push the boat down the river and save all those who are not deeply involved, so as to hide her true purpose.

The young man surnamed Luo frowned calmly, he didn't know what he thought, and his eyebrows suddenly stretched, "Since even you said so, I followed you, but the love of giving paintings was also exhausted, do you understand?" ”

"Master Hou is wrong, this painting is the little woman's repayment, after this incident, it is the little woman who owes you a favor."

Lu Yunqing's eyebrows were slightly bent, and she bowed her head: "If one day, the little girl can enter the capital to study, she will definitely repay this love." ”

"Oh? So you're ready to stay here. ”

Since you want to continue to stay in Luzhou City, instead of changing to a new mansion master, why don't you sell the favor of the old mansion master?

The young man surnamed Luo thought that he had seen through Lu Yunqing's thoughts, and a hint of something different flashed in his eyes, he looked down at the mansion master who was still kneeling on the ground, and snorted: "It seems that for the sake of this girl's gift of paintings, I will not tell the one in the capital, Liu Zhao, what to do next, you should know better than me." ”

The lord of the mansion was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Yes!" The lower officials must thoroughly investigate this matter and not let go of anyone who engages in favoritism and malpractice! ”

He Tangzhi, who had just woken up Xu Wan'er, was so frightened that he fainted again when he heard this.
