Chapter 46 Cloudy
In the afternoon of early summer, a large group of clouds pressed against the roof of the beast in the main hall of the imperial palace in the capital, and the pressure was so overwhelming that people could not breathe.
The heavy clouds were split by a bolt of lightning, and the black clouds rolled and thundered.
When the first drop of rain fell on the ground this summer, the emperor's edict was also promulgated, and it was sent directly to Changshan at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
Soon the heavy rain mixed with hail smashed to the ground, and the rain and fog were dense from far and near, and the rising white smoke covered people's eyes, making people unable to see the distance.
Since the founding of the Ming Empire, there has been the largest cheating case in history, which has stunned the world and made the world's readers very chilled.
After the case, the emperor was very angry, and the three law divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple were tried.
The results of the second examination of the same day were all invalidated, and 18 examiners, including sealing, transcription, proofreading, grading, and filling in the list, were all taken into custody and tortured and interrogated.
The cause of the incident was that a Confucian student, after the third examination, sat in a tavern and drank with his fellow villagers.
When the wine was hot, he burst out in shock.
"This time I'm bound to be in high school, at least within the top 100!"
At first, everyone thought he was drunk and didn't take it to heart, but his next words were even more shocking.
"Do you know why I'm so sure?"
His eyes were straight when he was already drinking.
The fellow villager on the side asked with a smile, "I'm afraid you dreamed of it, with your level, it's already good to be in high school, and you can still get into the top 100 in the middle of the foolish dream!" ”
Everyone also knew his depth and laughed together.
This made the drunk man anxious, and he tore off his coat on the spot, revealing the white linen undershirt inside.
I can't help but say that this is a masterpiece of extreme care, and I only saw the white linen liner inside and out. It's covered with soybean-sized handwriting.
But although it is small, it is very clear, Juanxiu's handwriting is obvious at a glance, and the content on it is almost all-inclusive.
From the current text to the scriptures, there is everything.
All the fellow villagers on the side hurriedly looked carefully, and what was even more shocking was that there were a few big questions that had just been examined, and they were word-for-word.
Just like this, everyone stood on the spot, and at that moment, everyone felt that the cold window of the past ten years had really been fed to the dogs, and it was better to do such a thing and solve everything.
When the drunken man suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right, he realized that he had actually torn off his coat to reveal the cheating underwear.
Half of the frightened wine woke up, turned into a cold sweat, flowed down, and hurriedly turned around and ran, those Confucian students woke up like a dream, and hurriedly went out to arrest him and report to the official, but it was too late.
Only this time there was a complete mess in the capital, Jin Yiwei arrested people everywhere, rummaged through the large and small inns and taverns in the city, and did not find the whereabouts of the Confucian student.
In the end, I only knew that he was from Changshan, and then came to Changshan, and according to the residence reported by the man, he rushed straight to him, but he pounced.
This is really a wind and thunder on the ground, and it has caused a catastrophe.
When the news reached Siyu's house, Siyu was simply stunned.
The family was terrified.
I think that Dean Fan patted his chest and promised that there was nothing wrong, he had been doing this for more than ten years, and nothing had ever happened, why did he let himself catch up this time?
Every knock on the door and the greetings of the neighbors would make the Siyu family feel frightened.
It seems that every knock on the door is like aiming at oneself, and in dreams you can dream that the brocade guards come to lock them up.
I live such a fearful life every day, and I can't live in fear all day.
Siyu wanted to know Dean Fan's whereabouts very much, but she didn't dare to inquire about him for fear of arousing the suspicion of others.
When a Confucian scholar came to pick up a book, he asked Dean Fan from the side: Has Dean Fan been busy lately?
And the Confucian replied quietly, "You don't know yet, do you? Dean Fan seems to have been missing for a while, and no one knows where he has gone. ”
After Siyu heard this, his soul was almost frightened, and he didn't know what to do at all.
She doesn't know if the case will involve Dean Fan, once Dean Fan is involved, after Dean Fan is arrested, she is afraid that she will not be able to stand the torture to extract a confession, and maybe she will confess herself, what can I do?
His younger brother Yoon-sik doesn't know what to say, everything is because of him.
If he hadn't exported so much silver in Leshantang and owed the 10,000 taels of silver, then his sister wouldn't have taken such a big risk to save herself.
But this thing is really ridiculous, I knew that the mysterious person would leave so much silver for my sister, why bother to take such a big risk, but it has already happened, what is the use of saying this?
What are you afraid of, what will come, I think that Dean Fan patted his chest and promised that he had been doing it for more than ten years, and nothing would happen at all, and if he didn't have such a guarantee, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk.
Everyone knows that this dynasty has strict laws and regulations and cheating cases, which is a great crime against the sky!
After Chen's mother knew about this, she also washed her face with tears every day, but she never dared to cry in front of Siyu, she was afraid that if she cried, Siyu would feel even more uncomfortable.
What can I do? She can't afford to lose her daughter, her daughter broke her heart for this family, and now if she puts her life into it for this matter.
How can she be worthy of her daughter?
Every time she thought about it, she learned from the pain and made an amazing decision.
She said to Siyu: "Siyu, you run, Dean Fan has already run, I believe he must have heard the wind before doing this, which means that he already knows that there is danger, if you catch Dean Fan, then you can't run, it's better to run early than late, you take all the silver taels and run quickly!" ”
"The world is so big, where are you going?"
Siyu was obviously reluctant to let her mother and younger brother go, thinking that if she left, she was afraid that it would be the government, and Jinyiwei would not let go of her mother and younger brother, so wouldn't she feel even more uncomfortable and more at ease.
"I know you can't leave us, but now if you can leave one, hurry up and leave, after you leave, I will let your brother run too, leaving me an old woman, let them fall."
Siyu saw that her mother looked very resolute when she said this, and she had a faint sense of foreboding.
She shook her head resolutely and said to her mother: "No, I resolutely don't leave, the matter has not yet reached the last moment, maybe Dean Fan and they will never be able to catch me, even if Dean Fan is caught, he will not confess to me in the past." ”
Seeing that her daughter was so stubborn, Chen's mother was angry, raised her hand, and gave her a slap on the spot.
"You kid doesn't care at all, and now the catastrophe is close in front of you, and you still don't run!"
Siyu burst into tears, hugged her mother, and cried loudly: "Let's go, let's go, let's go, what should I do if you are left alone?" ”
Mother Chen stroked Siyu's long hair, and was very reluctant: "Siyu, you first run out with your brother and hide for ten days and a half months, if there is nothing to do, you come back, just in case." ”
The younger brother Yunzhi also persuaded his sister to say to her: "Sister, just do what my mother said, let's go out and hide for ten days and half a month without anything, and when the wind passes, we will come back, maybe there is nothing to do, maybe Dean Fan will come back at that time." ”
Siyu thought about it for a while, and felt that this method was not impossible, as long as she listened to Dean Fan's whereabouts from time to time, it would be fine.
If Dean Fan is also arrested by Jinyiwei, then this family really can't go back, and she has to find a way to pick up her mother when the time comes.
If Dean Fan is safe and sound, and if he comes back without incident, then it means that this matter has completely passed, maybe there is a lot of thunder above, and there is little rain at the bottom, and after a few troubles as usual, everything will be calm.
The key to all this is whether Dean Fan will be okay.
"But mother, where are you going for us to run?"
Yun-sik asked eagerly, and Chen's mother pondered for a moment.
"Siyu, why don't you go to the capital with your brother!"
Siyu was stunned when she heard this.
Yoon-sik couldn't believe his ears, "Mother, you're crazy." ”
"No, listen to me, my mother has heard an old fisherman tell me about the storm, if you can't escape, turn the bow of the boat and sail straight to the center of the storm!"
Siyu was puzzled when she heard this, and asked, "Mother, why?"
"I used to ask the old fisherman this until he gave the reason, because once there is a storm at sea, once you can't escape, the boat is often wrecked and people die, and there is no second way to live!"
"Then why are you heading to the center of the storm?"
Siyu asked puzzled.
Mother Chen sighed and continued: "This method is also to survive in death, if you see that you can't escape, you will drive directly to the center of the storm!" ”
"But isn't that the storm going to get bigger? Is it even more aggravated by the total destruction of human life? ”
Yun Value looked puzzled.
At this time, Chen's mother was already resolute, and her firm eyes looked into the distance.
It was as if there were stormy waves ahead, and a huge storm was brewing on the sea.
On the dark sea, the waves were raging, and she needed to sail with her daughter and son to the eye of the storm.
"Because the bigger the storm, there is an eye in the center of the storm, if you are lucky enough to rush there, the boat will be fine, the sea there is calm, as long as you stay there calmly, nothing will happen!"
Siyu and her younger brother were stunned when they heard their mother say this.
"Mother, are you ......?"
Siyu had roughly guessed where her mother was going to let her go.
"That's right, go to the capital, go to Shen Canglang, find the Shen family, since he hasn't looked for you for so long, you go to him!"
Mother Chen's weak body and pale face had a pair of bright black eyes, staring straight at Siyu.
"But......" Siyu looked embarrassed.
"No, but, he is the only one who can save you."
Mother Chen interrupted her with an indisputable look.
