Chapter 021: Troublesome candidates

Zhao Yuhu was also standing in the crowd, he had already seen his name from the list and knew that he had also won the list. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, his mood was not as good as he imagined, because Lu Cheng was the head of high school, and he was firmly pressed by him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"How is that possible? Can this person also be hit by the case? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"That's it, he must have given the examiner a gift, it's so unfair!"

"It's not fair, it's not fair!"

“……”

In the crowd, someone raised such a question, and then many candidates echoed it and made a loud noise, and the scene immediately became excited.

After all, those who unfortunately fail to make the list are very unwilling in their hearts.

Hearing everyone's shouts in his ears, Zhao Yuhu's mind moved, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "There must be something greasy here, you can't just forget it, you must retake the exam, otherwise we will go to Beijing to sue the emperor!" ”

The other two people who were with him failed to pass the exam this time, and the loss in their hearts can be imagined. After hearing his shout, they were all stunned, and then immediately understood, and shouted along with it.

"Yes, we must retake the exam, otherwise we will go to the capital to sue the emperor!"

"Sue the royal complaint, sue the royal ......"

Most of these candidates only care about studying hard in the cold window, as well as participating in the triennial scientific examination, and have become people who do not listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages and sages, and their social experience is extremely thin.

Not to mention this small hospital test, it is a township test, and such a situation may occur when the list is released.

Zhao Yuhu himself won the list, there is no need to go to the trouble and incite the candidates to make trouble. But as soon as he thought of Lu Cheng's words that day, and the fact that he was suppressed again in this hospital examination, his heart became angry, and he wanted to poke Lu Cheng down as the head of the case, so that the other party would be ruined.

Of course he wouldn't believe that Lu Cheng was able to win the first place in this year's college examination because he gave Wu Tixue a gift. What are the conditions of the Lu family, he doesn't know, how can he have the money to bribe the examiner?

Zhao Yuhu believes that the reason why Lu Cheng can be named as the head of the case is just shit luck, and it just happens that the article is right for Wu Tixue.

But the truth is not important, the important thing is that Lu Cheng must not be allowed to be happy!

The situation of retaking the exam should not happen, the Ming Dynasty has been open for more than 100 years, that is, the "North and South List Case" of the Hongwu period did not retake the exam, but added 61 northerners to calm the anger of the scholars.

Therefore, Zhao Yuhu was not worried that he would retake the exam, so he started the idea of Lu Cheng, the new head of the case. Seeing that all the candidates were excited, he then shouted again: "You can't just forget it, we have to go to Wu Tixue to ask for an explanation!" ”

"That's right, ask Wu Tixue for an explanation!" Someone immediately responded with a voice.

Two or three hundred candidates who failed to make the list, under the instigation of Zhao Yuhu, actually went to surround the Yamen of Tixue Dao, planning to gather a crowd to make trouble.

Wu Tixue was resting at this time, and spent a day and a half reviewing the exam papers, and under the sleepless and sleepless conditions, even the spirit of a person who was beaten with iron couldn't stand it, let alone a person of his age?

But what he didn't expect was that the papers he had worked so hard to review, the rankings he had ranked, and the first papers he had pointed out would be accused by these candidates of accepting bribes and doing things in private.

The Gongyuan was not far from the Yamen of Tixuedao, and all the candidates soon came here and gathered around the Yamen to ask for an explanation. Seeing that the matter was serious, the servants hurriedly ran in and woke up Lord Tixue.

Wu Pengyun is an upright person, although he has been an official for many years, he has also offended many people in the court, so he will be exiled as a school official. He has been a scholar for nine years in a row, but he can't return to the court as an official, which is inseparable from his upright temperament.

In the past, when the case was taken out of the ordinary academy examination, there were many candidates who shouted injustice because of their indignation, and he was not surprised, but he had never encountered such a serious situation in the first two times, and hundreds of candidates surrounded the yamen, and this movement was indeed a big trouble.

Taking bribes?

If others face such accusations, they may be a little weak-hearted, but Wu Pengyun is not afraid. After being an official for so many years, he doesn't remember that he has had such a stain.

After Wu Tixue was dressed neatly, he came to the gate, and in the face of the accusations of many candidates, he just asked lightly: "You keep saying that this official accepted bribes, is there any evidence?" ”

“……”

Candidates, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to respond to the words of the "Great Grandmaster" out of voice.

Where did they get the evidence, they simply didn't pass the exam and wanted to fight for another chance.

There is a reason why the candidates are dissatisfied. In fact, even they themselves don't believe that Wu Ti, who is an upright official, learns to accept bribes.

It's just that this Wu Tixue is too demanding, and in the past, about 300 people would be admitted to the college examination in Kaifeng Prefecture, but this year there are dozens of fewer people, and it is naturally more difficult for people with average talent to be admitted, which makes many candidates who fail to make the list dissatisfied.

If you relax the conditions a little, isn't this a happy situation for everyone, so why bother?

The candidates were not very willing, and the head of the case admitted this time was not yet famous, and under Zhao Yuhu's intentional instigation, this evolved into the current situation.

But now in the face of Wu Tixue's question, they are really hard to answer, which eye did they see that the great master had accepted bribes?

Seeing that everyone didn't respond, Wu Tixue continued to ask, "What? Are you all dumb? When the official received the gift from the candidate, you can tell me about it. ”

“……”

All the candidates have already seen that although Wu Tixue's tone seems calm, he actually has anger in his heart, and no one wants to come out and be the first bird at this time.

When Zhao Yuhu saw such a situation, how could he be willing to give up?

After being silent for a while, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Then what kind of talent does Lu Cheng have?" Can you make the Grand Master the head of the case? Why was the name unknown in the previous county examination, and how did the great grandmaster explain? ”

"That's it, please ask the Grand Master to give us an explanation." The other two behind him immediately chimed in.

"If the Great Grandmaster is really not partial, please post that Lu Cheng's scroll for us to watch."

“……”

There was a commotion in the crowd again, as the so-called law does not blame the public, and some people took the lead in standing up and becoming this bird, so they were not so afraid of Wu Tixue's official authority.

Wu Tixue's cold gaze swept over everyone, and instantly caught Zhao Yuhu in the crowd, stared at him tightly for a long time, and then sneered: "Can the article selected by this official be fake?" As for how Lu Chengcai learned, when you see his article, why was it unknown before, then you have to ask the chief examiner of the county and government examinations that year, what does it have to do with this official? ”

“……”

These unsuccessful candidates had nothing to say, and they were speechless in the face of the sharp words of this scholar.

And Wu Tixue has said that the first file of this case can be made public for you to see, what else can you say?

Seeing that the candidates had calmed down, Wu Pengyun immediately pointed to Zhao Yuhu and the other two in the crowd and shouted, "Come on, take the three of them down for me!" ”

A group of wolf-like servants got the order, and immediately pounced on the three Zhao Yuhu in the crowd, detained them without much effort, and escorted them to Lord Tixue.

"These three people instigated the candidates to make trouble, and they were punished with thirty lashes."

After Wu Tixue finished this order, his eyes looked at everyone again: "If there are any more people who do not listen to the advice and stir people's hearts, the crime will be increased by one degree!" ”

When all the candidates heard what he said, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Thirty boards may not be a big punishment for a strong man, and he can get through it by gritting his teeth.

But for these weak scholars, this is a very heavy punishment, if someone dares to commit it again, if they are beaten with sixty boards, there is no need for this ass.

Wu Tixue was very satisfied with this, and when he saw that no one dared to come forward again, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's disperse." ”
