Chapter 971: Plotting in the Dark
When Lin Yi was inspecting the capital, he felt that the capital suddenly became a little chaotic.
It's probably because the exam is about to start, so the students have come to the capital.
However, Lin Yi looked at these students who came to take the exam, most of them were wearing gold and silver, and they exuded the aura of a gentleman, which was not at all like a literati student.
In order to earn a future for their sons, the flowing silver was sent to the hands of the magistrates, and those magistrates did whatever they wanted because of the protection of the Yang family, and those who had money would directly pass the exams for them, and those who had no money, even if they were talented, they would be driven out directly.
Lin Yi sensed that something was wrong, and thought of Lord Chu, who was still recuperating in the house, and felt that what he said was true.
He was on his horse, and just in time there was a boy riding towards him.
Lin Yi grabbed the reins, and the boy looked at Lin Yi with slanted eyes, as if he had no intention of letting go.
"Dare to stand in the way of my son, don't hurry up and get out of the way!"
He should have come from outside the capital, otherwise he would definitely know Lin Yi.
Lin Yi saw that he was wearing silk and satin, and immediately tied the reins wrapped with gold thread, and he looked like the son of a rich family.
Today, Lin Yi wore civilian clothes, and for convenience, he wore a fine linen clothes, which looked like a groom at first glance, no wonder the man didn't take Lin Yi in his eyes.
"You're deaf, you can't hear what Ben Gongzi is saying, get out of here!"
It's probably because I'm spoiled at home, and I don't know how to restrain myself when I get to the capital, this gentleman is still shouting, and I don't know who I've provoked.
"What if I don't get out of the way?"
"Don't get out of the way?"
He rolled up his sleeves and beckoned to the family behind him, signaling them to fight first.
That group of family members is also used to bullying people in the local area, so they directly rushed up to teach Lin Yi a good lesson.
Lin Yi held the horsewhip tightly in his hand, and directly whipped it on the face of one of them, and then brushed a few whips, and in the blink of an eye, the faces of those people were colored.
"You dare to beat my person, do you know who my father is!"
Lin Yi didn't even get off the horse when he started, although this gentleman was domineering, he also saw that he was not Lin Yi's opponent, so he wanted to use his family background to make Lin Yi afraid.
He hummed and chirped and reported an official position of four grades, although this official position is not big in the capital, but he is already the emperor of the soil in the local area.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, he was still like this in the capital, and he definitely didn't bully his neighbors in normal times.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid."
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't speak, the man looked at Lin Yi proudly, if he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to himself now, he would almost be able to forgive him, otherwise he would not be able to eat and walk around.
In the entire capital, no one dared to talk to Lin Yi like this.
He smiled, he was really fearless.
With a wave of the whip in Lin Yi's hand, he directly rolled the man off the horse.
"Oops, it hurts me."
The man fell off his horse and rolled on the ground in pain.
"My name is Lin Yi, if you want your father to settle accounts with me, even the princess's mansion will look for me."
As soon as he heard Lin Yi's name, the man was stunned, although he was new to the capital, he had also heard of the name of the Lin family, and he knew who he was messing with.
The domineering appearance just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he didn't care about shouting pain, so he knelt on the ground and begged Lin Yi for forgiveness, saying that he had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai.
To be honest, if he could still be like that just now after knowing his identity, Lin Yi would still feel that this person still had at least some backbone, but now seeing him kneeling and begging for mercy, Lin Yi only felt bored.
Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, this kind of person is also worthy of participating in the imperial examination?
"Get out!"
Lin Yi turned his horse's head and left here, and when he saw these people, he felt that this imperial examination must be very boring.
"I want to see Gu Moxi."
The door of Gu's mansion was closed, and Lin Yi knocked on the door for a long time before the housekeeper came to open the door, and when he saw that it was Lin Yi, the old housekeeper had a bad face, and said that now Gu Mo regrets not seeing guests.
But how could the old housekeeper stop Lin Yi.
"Now that there is chaos in the capital, Lord Gu is very leisurely and elegant."
Lin Yi saw Gu Moxi painting in the study, and couldn't help but mock, didn't Gu Moxi care about the imperial examination at all?
"I don't know in what capacity Lord Lin is accusing me?"
Gu Moxi put down his brush and painted a landscape map.
"As a Taifu and the first genius of Dayan, are you going to sit idly by?"
Gu Moxi didn't look like the kind of person who would be afraid of power, he didn't care what the reason must be.
Or does he plan to become officials in the same dynasty in the future with those who do not learn and have no skills?
"How can I disobey the emperor's will, does General Lin want me to resist the will?"
"You know I didn't mean that, and if it weren't for the stakes of this matter, I wouldn't have come to you."
Could it be that Gu Moxi felt that he wanted to come here?
The imperial examination is related to the people's livelihood and the society of the court, and Lin Yi cannot ignore it.
Although he didn't want to say this, he couldn't do anything about this matter if he wanted to, only Gu Moxi could think of an idea, but his current attitude was really disappointing to him.
"Gu Moxi, I misjudged you."
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he saw Lu Cancan walking in from outside the study.
"I've heard everything you say."
Seeing Lin Yi's eyes, Lu Cancan looked away slightly.
She lowered her eyes: "You misunderstood Mo Xi, he has already begun to find a way to meddle in the affairs of the imperial examination, shouldn't you apologize for accusing him indiscriminately?" ”
"You asked me to apologize to him?"
Lin Yi was silent, he was not the kind of man who was unwilling to bow his head, but this sentence came out of Lu Cancan's mouth and made him feel bad in his heart.
"That's it, General Lin's daughter, I can't afford to apologize."
All three were somewhat silent.
In the natal chart, the three of them have long been entangled with each other, and no one can figure it out.
Lu Cancan felt that this atmosphere was too weird, she took a deep breath and said: "Actually, everyone thinks about the same thing, that is, to make the imperial examination can be held smoothly and fairly, and one more person will have more strength, so let's discuss the current plan." ”
She doesn't want to mention emotional matters now, and she doesn't want to make a gap between Lin Yi and Gu Moxi because of herself.
They are all officials of Dayan, so let's think about how to stop Yang Yan.
"I have sent someone to secretly contact the poor students who are participating in the examination, but the number is too small, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
After all, there are only a few students who are willing to help them, and most of them still want to protect themselves.
