Chapter Ninety-Nine: Deliberation

The new policy of the imperial court and the spring examination, the Wang family did not intend to participate in these things, and countless bloody lessons told them that at present, anyone who goes against the court will die a miserable death. What is the result of the families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? It fell apart overnight, and at that time the so-called World Trade Fair was very serious about teaching you a lesson. The tuition fee for this class is human life.

Throughout the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many families of the previous dynasty have been uprooted, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the previous dynasty, even if there are family members above the court who hold some official positions, but they are worthless compared to life.

This time, the Wang family came to the capital at this sensitive time, intending to avoid the new policy of the imperial court and the spring examination of Jinju, because at this point they did it or not, as long as they stood there, some people would wonder if their ideas would be contrary to the imperial court. In order to avoid trouble, they simply came to the capital and acted under the emperor's nose, which not only reassured the court, but also avoided some unnecessary troubles.

Lin Yuan didn't know what the attitude of the Wang family was, he was more willing to believe that the Wang family came to Beijing this time for other things, rather than making a special trip to marry him. At the moment, Wang Linpeng's reaction should be something else.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Shi's entry into Beijing this time is related to the Spring Exam, is he planning to take the next exam?" ”

"My brother was already a high school jinshi the year before last." Wang Lingyu said on the side.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "It's that I'm abrupt, brother forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Glaring at Wang Lingyu, Wang Linpeng turned to look at Lin Yuan and said, "I don't know what Grandpa just said about the good show?" ”

"It's just a joke, since Brother Shi doesn't participate in the big exam and watch from the sidelines, I haven't seen the Spring Exam for some years." Lin Yuan snorted, skipped the topic and didn't talk about it. Wang Linpeng naturally felt that Lin Yuan's perfunctory response, but he didn't know about it, even if Lin Yuan wanted to tell him, he might not dare to listen.

The two chatted there without a word, and Wang Lingyu occasionally interjected two sentences, so that the atmosphere would not be so embarrassing. The three of them were chatting happily, when suddenly Cai Quan walked in, still holding something in his hand. He handed the envelope in his hand to Lin Yuan before retreating.

Lin Yuan looked at the words on the envelope, smiled apologetically at Wang Linpeng, and said, "Wait a minute." Then he opened the envelope, and after only reading a few lines of words, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed, and he paused a little and continued to read.

Wang Linpeng on the side was a little curious about what Lin Yuan saw that made him so entangled, but it was a private matter and it was not easy to ask, so he had to drink tea quietly there.

After reading the content of the letter a few times, Lin Yuan was a little unsure, and after thinking about it, he said to Wang Linpeng: "Brother Shi, I'm sorry, I have some urgent matters to deal with, I have to go out for a while now, you see..."

"It's okay, we've been bothering for a long time, so let's leave now." Wang Linpeng hurriedly said.

"I'm really sorry, I'll come to apologize in a few days." Lin Yuan said embarrassedly.

Sending Wang Linpeng's brother and sister away, Lin Yuan immediately rushed to Yao Lian's mansion, and the matter in the letter must be discussed with him to come up with a countermeasure. The stakes are so high, and he alone does not dare to make decisions on his own.

Yao Lian has obviously been paying attention to the situation in Yuzhou, but he doesn't have a news channel like Lin Yuan, so when he heard that Lin Yuan had a letter from Yuzhou, he immediately saw Lin Yuan and invited him into the house. Handing the envelope in his hand to Yao Lian, Lin Yuan took a breath and said, "You take a look at this letter first." ”

The letter was sent back by Wang Ming, and now that the Spring Festival exam is imminent, there are a lot of cheating deals on the streets of Nanyang, which is an inevitable thing in the annual big exam, and this phenomenon is not only in Nanyang, but it is like this at this time.

It's not that the court hasn't thought about catching it, but it's helpless that it's like the weeds, cutting a stubble and never cutting it off. The imperial court wastes a lot of manpower and material resources on this every year, but it has little effect, and it has even reached the point where the imperial court can not make ends meet with money for this.

Later, the imperial court found that this business is still mostly deceitful, often the examiner just finished paying the money, people run away, the big logarithm of people just do some simple cheating means, as long as the pre-exam strict inspection can avoid most of the exam cheating, so they began to crack down on cheating students, if it is just a cheating business, Wang Mingxin mentioned a big or small thing, that is, selling officials.

Saying that he is a trivial matter is because it is still only in the initial stage, as long as you start in advance, the impact of this matter can be minimized, and it is said that he is a major event because once left unchecked, it may become a big case if it is exposed, and no one related to this matter will be able to run away at that time.

Yao Lian kept looking at the content of the letter carefully, Lin Yuan knew that there was not much news about the betrayal of the official in the letter, but Yao Lian looked at it so carefully, he should consider the impact of this matter.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Yao Lian looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "What does Grandpa think of this?" ”

"I'm here to see what you mean, so you'd better ask me first." Lin Yuan looked at Yao Lian speechlessly.

Yao Lian smiled embarrassedly, then looked at the letter and thought about it and said, "This matter, I mean to suppress it." ”

Lin Yuan frowned, and said suspiciously: "What you mean by pressing down means investigating this matter now?" ”

Lin Yuan didn't think this was a good way, in his opinion, the development trajectory that this matter should have was not what Yao Lian thought now, and if it was based on Yao Lian's approach, the outcome would definitely not be the best.

Yao Lian knew that Lin Yuanming had misunderstood what he meant, so he explained: "Grandpa, I mean to suppress this news as if it never happened." ”

Lin Yuan looked at Yao Lian's eyes lit up, he didn't think that Yao Lian was not a pedantic person, and he had other opinions on this matter, before he came, he was afraid that Yao Lian would say that he would thoroughly investigate this case.

"Can Master Yao tell me why?" Lin Yuan asked.

Yao Lian nodded and said: "First of all, you can count the hands that dare to do this in Nanyang, but unfortunately these people are all from the Xue family, this is the most critical; Secondly, the Xue family has always done things without leakage, not only us, but also the imperial court has investigated for so many years and there is no evidence, knowing that this matter was done by the Xue family, but there is no evidence to keep the Xue family at large; In the end, this is a great opportunity, with this opportunity, we can pry a crack in this seemingly impregnable Xue family wall. With him, we can do a lot of things that we can't. ”

Lin Yuan echoed: "The Xue family has been stable for too long, which caused them to start to relax, thinking that as long as they stood behind the Xue family, they could be stable. That's why I make this mistake. ”

"Grandpa said yes, the Xue family has indeed been comfortable for too long, but anyone who is cautious will not make this mistake of soliciting customers on the street, and it is not surprising that it is the stupid pig in the third room of the Xue family."

Lin Yuan glanced at Yao Lian with some astonishment, but he didn't expect that Lord Yao Lian, who was kind and angry on weekdays, was actually scolding. Facing Lin Yuan's surprised gaze, Yao Lian said with a smile: "I'm just stating a fact, no, you will know why I said this when you arrive in Yuzhou." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, then looked at Yao Lian and asked, "Then how should I do it?" Does Lord Yao have any plans? ”

Yao Lian thought for a while and said, "You can let Wang Ming buy this place first, just in case you need it." Staying in our hands is also a piece of evidence, and the second is to send someone to find out where these places are being sold, I don't believe that a He Wenchang in Nanyang would dare to use up all the places, even if I borrowed a few guts from him, he wouldn't dare, this person was too cautious. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and wrote down, and when he was going back, he wrote to tell Wang Ming, and here Yao Lian said again: "Look at the time, we are about to set off, and there is something that needs to be done, although most of the people in the entire Yuzhou are from the Xue family, but there are many people who do not sincerely follow the Xue family all the way to the dark, but they are better than others, and they have temporarily bowed their heads, and the grandfather should send someone to contact them." After all, the Yuzhou branch is not as good as other places. ”

"I have already ordered this matter to go down, but I can't make too much movement for a while, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the Xue family, maybe it is more appropriate for Lord Yao to do this." Lin Yuan said.

Yao Lian thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so he nodded and responded, after all, he was a trouble-finding existence in the eyes of the Xue family, one pot was back, and two were also backs. There's not so much attention to it anymore.

Seeing that Yao Lian agreed, Lin Yuan said: "You can't just let you fight alone, you can take this thing." As he spoke, he handed an iron plate to Yao Lian.

Looking at the word 'town' above, Yao Lian heard Lin Yuan say: "This thing can be transferred to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division of Yuzhou, after all, safety first, life is important, and you still have to be cautious in doing things, and it is a little safe to have the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division to protect you." ”

After looking at the iron card in his hand, and then listening to Lin Yuan's words, Yao Lian suddenly laughed. glanced at Yao Lian with some puzzlement, only to hear the other party say: "It's always a little weird to say this from your mouth, after all, I'm older than you." ”

Lin Yuan pulled down the black line, and then said: "There are already clues from the Xue family that there are dead people in their house, this is the news given by the Yamen of the Yuzhou Zhenfu Division, but the specific number is not clear, so you must be careful, in case there is an accident, it is Nanyang City, it is difficult to protect your own life." ”

"Is this Zhenfu Si Yamen open in Xue's Mansion? How do you know so many things? Yao Lian said curiously.

"It's their basic survival skill, it's not bad, it seems to me that the things they collect are too messy, and I need to sort them out to get what we need, which is not what a qualified Pacification Division officer should do."

"Okay, let's not discuss this matter for the time being, that's Liu Ren Liu's business, let's honestly handle this errand in Yuzhou." Yao Lian waved his hand and said.
