Chapter 107: Bunkan
At night, the moonlight on the cold snow attic is shrouded, hazy, like a fairy pavilion. A white dove, standing on the windowsill on the seventh floor, looked left and right at the fluttering feathers, as if waiting for someone.
Lou Wange pushed open the window, picked up the white pigeon, and took off the small bamboo tube under its feet:
The crimson blood order is out, and the blood is dense.
The inscription is, the blood of the secret blood thirteen.
She hooked her lips and became the only stunning color under the cold moonlight: it seems that the crimson blood secret order has been delivered, and the blood secret who has been silent for many years will return, and the imperial capital, rivers and lakes will usher in a new bloody storm-
Wenwu Post Station, is from the whole North Moon of the national examination final test candidates in the imperial capital of the temporary residence, different from other post stations in the imperial capital, located in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital, covering the largest area, the interior is divided into the east hall and the west hall, the east hall is Wen, the west hall is Wu. In addition to the post station for hundreds of people to live in the size of the courtyard more than dozens, the front hall also has a large kitchen for three meals a day, in addition, the east hall also has a temporary school, every day there will be a scholar bureau master sitting in the hall to answer questions, the west hall has a martial arts training field, everything is to provide the best conditions for the candidates.
Today's temporary school, the master is the most senior Zou Yong master of the Shangshu Bureau, Zou Yong is the current emperor's young companion, since he is highly respected, everyone in the East Hall is famous, all want to ask for one or two, for a time the school is crowded with people, Zou Master is also very patient, one by one Q&A explanation, the writing attendant next to him is also nimble, grinding inkstone, dipping ink, handing pens, laying paper, sending tea, wiping sweat, all in order, neat movements.
Seeing that there were more and more people in this school, the movements of the writing attendants also accelerated, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and when Zou Fuzi saw this, he put down his pen and coughed twice: "Okay, this is noon, everyone eats and rests first, and it is okay to come back in the afternoon to ask for advice." With that, he brushed his sleeves and got up, nodded to the writing attendant beside him, and walked away.
The examinees talked a lot, although the talented man who did not rank in the position of asking for advice was unhappy in his heart, but the status of the master was there, and it was not good to say anything, and the crowd naturally gave way for the master to pass. The writing attendant followed closely behind the master with his head down, his eyes wandering left and right, but he seemed to be investigating something—
Winding out of the post station along the winding corridor, in front of the carriage, Zou Fuzi suddenly stopped and did not dare to get on the carriage, and silently looked at the attendant behind him, as if waiting for some reply.
The attendant didn't look up, just nodded slightly, Zou Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and lifted his robe and got into the carriage, the attendant raised his eyes and looked around and didn't find anyone else, and also got into the carriage.
"Wechen is guilty, let the national teacher work so hard, Weichen is not effective, please punish the national teacher." As soon as he got into the carriage, Zou Fuzi knelt down in front of the attendant and confessed his guilt.
That's right, this seemingly diligent writing attendant is Lou Wange's disguise, as the saying goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", in order to explore the reality of the essay test taker, she only had to personally enter the post station to investigate.
Picking up Master Zou, she shook her head: "Master, what are you talking about, why is the official tired, but it is the master, who cares about the official while answering questions, which is the high degree of hard work." This matter is decided by the official himself, and the master does not need to mind after that, just use the official as a scholar. ”
"Never, never!" The master hurriedly waved his hand: "The national teacher has a noble status, how can he serve by Weichen's side, or not, or not." ”
"Master, why not, this official is just hiding his identity to see what these literary examiners are capable of. It will not delay the master's teaching, but if the master thinks it is inappropriate, he can pretend that he can't see the official. ”
"There is a difference between the descendants and the inferior, and the dignity and the inferiority are orderly. I can't agree. "Master Zou is an old pedant, at this level of etiquette, he is the most stubborn, today's thing is to take risks, and he doesn't dare to let him do such a second thing.
"That's it," Lou Wange waved his hand, only pretending to be very regretful: "This official is not embarrassed by the master, but today, the master does not respect etiquette and coerces the official to be a writing attendant to accompany him, when has the official suffered so much, master, you say, if you let the emperor know, what can you do?" By the way, I heard you have a few lovely children—"
Before she finished speaking, Zou Fuzi was already trembling, he didn't know that the national teacher with such a noble status would also talk about right and wrong like this, but he still said righteously: "Today's matter, today is the sudden appearance of the national teacher, and he also stunned Weichen's attendants, Weichen doesn't know, how can he coerce it?" ”
"Master, I just ask you to pretend that you don't know, what loss does this have for you? The official knew that the master was upright and upright, and the etiquette was strict. However, Master should not hurt his life and his family for this matter that can be solved by turning a blind eye to something. Lou Wange looked at the master's upright appearance, and it was not easy to threaten him, so he had to continue to persuade him with good words.
"Yes, Weichen will definitely cooperate with the national teacher." The Master should be reluctant.
"That's right, that's fine, in the next few days, the master will sit in the hall and answer questions, and there is no need to ask more and watch more about other things."
The afternoon was also as usual, and the people in the school were still in an endless stream. Lou Wange observed everyone in this school while serving pen and ink, but she didn't see the three people mentioned by the emperor.
finally stayed up until dinner time, Lou Wange said goodbye to Master Zou and stayed alone in Wentang, on the one hand, it was convenient to observe, and on the other hand, it was also to find the traces of those people.
There is a garden in the literary hall, many candidates are reading books and words in the garden, admiring the flowers and singing water, Lou Wange copied his hands, pretending to be lost and wandering around in the garden, in fact, it was to find out the news, and several idle candidates recognized her and stepped forward to block her way: "Why didn't the little official follow Zou Fuzi back to the Shangshu Bureau, and why did he stay in this literary hall?" ”
"The little one, the little one just packed up the pen and ink, and couldn't keep up with the master, so he only fought for a while, and then he was separated from the master." Lou Wange pretended to be afraid and cowered.
"Oh, I'm lost, let's go, my brother will take you out." Those idle talents were already dissatisfied with the Shangshu Bureau, and seeing that the handsome attendants of the Shangshu Bureau were lost here, they naturally deliberately looked for fun.
"Please also ask all the literary talents to respect themselves, why bother to make fun of me as a little attendant." When the men first touched her, she stepped back, raising her voice in anger.
"What are you talking about, we just want to help you, why are you still angry." pressed step by step, forced her into a corner, and couldn't struggle anymore.
"Enough, in broad daylight, you petty people actually bullied a weak petty official, where did you scholars go?" Suddenly, a man walked out of a rockery not far away and yelled at this side.
The man was sturdy, not at all like a scholar, wearing a lake blue robe, and his hair was tied to the top of his head with a hairband of the same color.
In your thirties? Who among the test takers would be that old? Only the son of the Si Bing Mansion who has taken the national examination for ten years, it is precisely because of the training in the Si Bing Mansion that he is both civil and military, with a strong body, and he is taller than the normal literary examination talent, and his face is more mature and resolute.
"Yo, who did I think it was, it turned out to be the waste of the Si Bing Mansion, you said you didn't study well for exams, why do you care about our idle business?" When they heard this, they all laughed, and some even leaned back and fell in laughter.
"Who's the trash?" As soon as he heard others scolding him for being a waste, his angry muscles flared up, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists and struck at those people.
Those people are soft persimmons who don't have any effort, how can he stop beating him, they ran to the side, and one of them didn't think it was a big deal, and coaxed: "Du Wei, haven't you also learned kung fu?" Quick, beat this shit. ”
"Yes, yes, Duwei, beat him, beat him."
The one named Du Wei actually walked up in the midst of this commotion, rolled up his sleeves and just wanted to make a move, but he was knocked to the ground with several punches: "Who else?" All of you, say I'm a waste, I see you all are. ”
"You, you-" Du Wei was angry, pointing at his face and angrily: "You wait, I'll find someone to clean you up." Why don't you withdraw. ”
A group of people saw that even Du Wei, the only one who had learned boxing and kicking, was not the opponent of the Si Bing Mansion, and they were afraid that disaster would come, so they all walked away in a hurry. Bombarding away this wave of people, he walked to Lou Wange's side, stretched out his hand and pulled her who was still cowering in the corner: "Little official, don't be afraid, those people have been beaten away by me, you can rest assured." ”
"Much, thank you Wencaizi."
"What's polite, just call me Yue Da. Isn't the petty officer lost, go, I'll take you out. He changed his ruthlessness, and his face was full of warm and kind smiles.
"Then thank you Yue Caizi." Lou Wange slowly got up and gave a salute, but she had a good impression of the person in front of her, and she had to sigh at the emperor's vision, just this kind of justice to help the weak, it will definitely be of great use in the future, she thought to herself.
"The junior official has just entered the Shangshu Mansion, I have been dealing with the Shangshu Mansion, and I am very angry when I look at you." Yue Da asked while leading the way to alleviate the embarrassment, he looked at Lou Wange's head hanging down, and thought that she had not recovered from the grievances and horrors just now.
"Yes, I was brought into Shangshu Mansion by Master Zou, and Master saw that I was pitiful and a little bit of a scholar Huigen, so he stayed in Shangshu Mansion as a writing attendant." In order not to arouse suspicion, she kept her head down the whole time.
"Oh, I see. Don't take today's affairs to heart, those idle and shallow boys just see that you are weak and delicate and easy to bully, don't take it to heart. He continued to comfort.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the Wenguan is full of future civil ministers, pillars of the country, how dare the small ones deal with them, it's just that the little ones are stupid and take the wrong path." seems to be humble and humble words, but they are the weapon that stimulates Yue Da.
"Pillars of the Nation, phew! As for their group of things that don't learn, don't have skills, and have no ink, Beiyue will have to be destroyed in their hands sooner or later, relying on their family background, and they still want to be officials, it's just wishful thinking! It is not difficult to hear that these words are full of criticism and dissatisfaction.
"Yue Caizi doesn't need to be overly annoyed, the humanities of the national examination are how they are, the Shangshu Bureau has its own decision, and it will not cover up for personal gain."
"Humph!" He stared at Lou Wange, and when he heard this, he seemed to have a great grievance.
