After the release of the township examination, according to the rules, a deer banquet will be held, and the yamen who is preparing for the township examination will set up a banquet to entertain the candidates who have won the examination, and the documents of the examination will be distributed to celebrate.

However, this Luming banquet is not the day of the release of the list, because the candidates may not necessarily run to see the list at the same time, and most of the candidates who fell off the list when the list is released, at this time to celebrate, it is simply a humiliation for the candidates to release the list.

Therefore, the Luming Banquet is generally held three days after the release of the list, and during these three days, the relevant yamen officials will also go to report the good news to the candidates who have won the lift, notify them to participate in the Luming Banquet, and also to ask for a lottery.

Of course, Zhang Ping will not miss this pleasing opportunity, Yang Cong and his entourage have just returned to Dabao'en Temple, he took a few officials, holding signs, beating gongs and drums, and came quickly.

Yang Cong saw that Zhang Ping came to report the good news, and he was not ambiguous, so he immediately ordered someone to take sixty taels of silver and stuffed it into his arms, because all six of them here were hit, and Zhang Ping was tantamount to reporting the good news to six people this time.

This guy, sixty taels, Zhang Ping's hand couldn't help but tremble when he took the silver, don't look at his "business" seems to be doing a lot, it is fifty taels for a candidate, and most of the money is to be scattered, otherwise who wants to cooperate with him to make it convenient.

These sixty taels are different, as long as you give points to the officials who come together, most of them can be carried in his own pockets, and now, he really makes a lot of money.

This Yang Gongzi is simply arrogant and inhumane, and he must be well-treated.

He greeted everyone for a while, and then sent away the officials who came to report the good news, and then walked up to Yang Cong with a solemn face, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Yang, do you know that Lord Yan almost brushed you down when he reviewed the exam papers. ”

, Yan Song really started!

Although this matter has passed, Yang Cong still can't help but be nervous: "Oh, what excuse is he looking for?" ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he retold the conversation between Yan Song, Zou Shouyi, and Zhan Ruoshui at that time, as if he was at the scene at that time.

He was naturally not at the scene at that time, but there were not only Yan Song, Zou Shouyi, and Zhan Ruoshui at the scene, but there were also officials present at that time, at least Yan Song would not do it himself, and many chores still had to be done by the officials, Zhang Ping could know what happened at that time as long as he inquired at will.

This Yan Song is really vicious, and if the hat of this crime of bullying is buttoned down, it is not as simple as not being able to win the move.

Yang Cong gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he didn't have anything to do with Yan Song, because Yan Song was still standing behind Xia Yan, it was said that Xia Yan would soon be the first assistant of the cabinet, at this time, even if he mobilized all the power of the Yangming line, he might not be able to do it against Yan Song.

What to do?

He's not the kind of person who is willing to suffer dumb losses, whoever gets him, he has to find a way to get it back.

He has always been eager to repay him, because if you don't teach others a lesson, they are likely to follow you endlessly.

Question: Now he really can't pull Yan Song, what should he do?

Yang Cong pondered for a while, and finally had a plan.

This big one can't be cleaned up, can't it be cleaned up the small one, this matter was originally rectified by He Qian, since Yan Song can't be moved, he must also be rectified, otherwise, they will really bully themselves.

Thinking of this, he asked solemnly: "Brother Zhang, do you know what He Qian has to do." ”

This means, do you want to clean up and move?

Zhang Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this He Qian is indeed not a thing, if you want to find him to do something, this guy is a lion with a big mouth, and it is very dark.

He is a servant, so he naturally doesn't dare to do anything about the head of the Ministry of Rites, because people like them are, to put it bluntly, dependent on officials at all levels, and if they dare to rebel against their masters, then he will be mixed up.

Therefore, although he was very disgusted with He Qian before, he didn't think about cleaning up this guy, but if Yang Cong made a move, the nature would be different, it was an infighting between their officials and masters, and it had nothing to do with him.

Is this a favor or not?

He thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously: "If you want to say that you have unsightly deeds, there are naturally them, and it is really rare to see really honest and honest officials in these years, but if you start from this aspect, you will definitely implicate many people, and if you say something unpleasant, villains may also be implicated, so, Yang Gongzi, please think twice about this matter." ”

He still didn't dare to move, because there are many potential rules in the officialdom at this time, and almost all the people in the officialdom, including them, are netted in these invisible rules, once one is moved, it is very likely to implicate a large area, figuratively speaking, it is an officialdom earthquake.

He doesn't want to set off an officialdom earthquake, because the officials above can more or less get out or reduce their crimes by virtue of their relationships, and these officials can only be cannon fodder.

When Yang Cong heard this, he glanced at him with a little meaning, and then frowned and pondered.

This guy doesn't seem to want to be implicated, what should he do?

He thought about it for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Does he have any personal vices?" ”

In these days, all corrupt officials will have some "vices" to a greater or lesser extent, such as, uh, indescribable, omitted here.

In fact, everyone is accustomed to these "vices", and it is nothing if they are not seriously investigated, but once someone seriously investigates them, it is also more serious.

Yang Cong didn't think about bringing down He Qian, he just wanted to fix this guy and let this guy suffer a loss, and it was barely enough to clean up this guy with his personal "bad habits".

When Zhang Ping heard this, he thought about it for a while and said excitedly: "There is something that may make him discouraged." ”

This is not strange, if corrupt officials don't have any "bad habits", then it's strange, Yang Cong asked with interest: "What's the matter, tell me about it." ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly explained in detail: "That's the case, the villain heard that Lord He's background is not good, and before the lift, he was so poor that he jingled, but after he was lifted, he was taken by the local gentry, as if Lord He's wife was a famous local gentry." It is rumored that this Lord He is quite afraid of guilt, he did not bring his wife and son over after moving to Nanzhili, but accepted a dusty woman as a concubine, this time, Soon after He Gongzi came to Jinling to catch the exam, Mrs. He also followed, He Daren seemed to be afraid that their mother and son would know about this little concubine, He Gongzi had not yet arrived, so he hid the little concubine. The villain thinks that this thing can be used to make a fuss, Yang Gongzi, what do you think? ”

This guy really has a "bad habit", Yang Cong heard this, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, let's make a fuss about this." ”
