In addition to a tall plane tree in the courtyard, there is also a locust tree that is hugged by three people, locust flowers fall like snow one after another, falling on Lian Ruohan's body, she stepped on the footstool and slowly went down, just a petal fell on a strand of hair in front of her forehead, fluttering, but not falling, and her flower-like appearance contrasted.

Xia Xiang walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward: "Even the little lady is here, it is a great honor." ”

Lian Ruohan smiled indifferently: "No need to be polite, Xia Langjun, I have something to say to you." ”

When they arrived in the room, they sat down, Cao Shujun wanted to sit next to Lian Ruohan, but he didn't have the opportunity, Lian Ruohan sat on the top, Xia Xiang accompanied him on the left side, and Shen Bao sat on the right side, so he had to sit opposite Lian Ruohan stupidly.

Zhang Hou turned a blind eye to Lian Ruohan's arrival, he couldn't wait to go to the courtyard to practice martial arts with Xiao Wu, of course, practicing martial arts was just from the beginning, and what he really wanted in his heart was to be with Mantuo. However, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and stayed, wondering whether the big drama Xia Xiang said was really something or a trick, if the appearance of Mantuo and Lian Ruohan was a big drama, it would be too child's play.

Lian Ruohan didn't drink Xia Xiang's tea, she said straight to the point: "I just passed by the Gongyuan, and saw that there were many examinees around the door pointing and pointing, and when I got closer, it turned out that there was a wordless yellow list posted at the door of the Gongyuan, and below the yellow list, there was a black list, and there was a word on the black list......"

Lian Ruohan had an appointment with Xiao Jia today, and when he went to Anzhiju, he passed through the Gongyuan. Seeing a group of people surrounded by black pressure at the gate of the Gongyuan, I can't help but wonder, tomorrow is the day to release the list, is it possible to release the list in advance today? Unexpectedly, when I got closer, I was surprised to see a few big words on a black list: "Xia Xiang fell off the list".

When I asked, I found out that I didn't know who posted the yellow list in the Gongyuan, and posted a wordless yellow list, which attracted the nearby examiners to think that the list would be released in advance, and they came to see it clearly, the yellow list was on it, but there was no one, and no one could help but guess for no reason. Some people are bold, and when they look closely, there is still a list under the yellow list, and when the yellow list is removed, it is a black list.

It is already an amazing event to post the black list at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the four words "Xia Xiang fell off the list" on the black list are even more shocking. Some examinees were worried that the black list would cause trouble and wanted to remove it, but they were stopped by everyone. If there are few people, the black list is taken down and thrown away, and the matter will not be big, but the yellow list was posted first, attracting many onlookers, and the number of people has reached dozens of people, and it is impossible to cover it up.

As soon as the news spread, there were more and more onlookers, and when the crowd reached hundreds of people, it finally alarmed the people of the Gongyuan. Because of the release of the list tomorrow, everyone in the Gongyuan today is busy sorting out the test papers and copying the list, because when they learned about the black list, the matter was already big, and it was too late to end it.

When Wen Changju, Gao Hai, Chen Feng and Zhang Shi hurriedly arrived, the door of the Gongyuan was surrounded by angry examiners, and many people shouted that there must be shady scenes in this year's imperial examination, and there must be fraud in the imperial examination this year, and some people took the opportunity to make trouble, claiming that if he also failed the list, it was not that the article was bad, but that he did not give gifts to the examiner.

For a while, the crowd was boiling and the voices were like a tide.

After Wen Changju saw the four big characters of "Xia Xiang fell off the list", his face immediately sank, and his face was as black as ink. It was difficult for him to maintain a calm demeanor, and his beard trembled with anger, so that Gao Hai immediately won the black list and strictly investigated who and what was doing in this matter. Gao Hai didn't say a word, he stepped forward and wanted to uncover the black list, but was pushed by countless examiners, and in his anger, he grabbed one of the examinees and slapped the other party. As a result, this move sparked public outrage, and everyone rushed up and knocked Gao Hai to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Changju fled and hid in the Gongyuan, no longer showing up, and left Gao Hai, who was beaten by the examiners, regardless of it. Fortunately, Chen Feng and Zhang did not see death and did not save them, the two bravely moved forward to separate everyone, risked death to save Gao Hai, and put Gao Hai into the tribute courtyard. Poor Gao Hai was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and there were still a few shoe prints on his face.

Fortunately, Gao Hai only suffered some skin injuries, which were not serious. Rao is like this, he also screamed bitterly, angry, claiming to severely punish the murderer, and arrest Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang must be the initiator of this incident.

Lian Ruohan deliberately stopped to go to the Gongyuan because of his acquaintance with Wen Changju, and met with Wen Changju.

Wen Changju was both angry and resolute about the black list, claiming that he must show the emperor to investigate this matter to the end, and would never tolerate such acts of disrupting the imperial examination and confusing the public. Lian Ruohan thought for a while and asked Wen Changju why someone knew that Xia Xiang was off the list in advance? Wen Changju was speechless.

Lian Ruohan was disappointed in her heart, originally she respected Wen Changju as an elder, and didn't want Wen Changju to be a person who only relied on personal preferences to cheat. In order to prevent cheating, there is a set of standardized preventive measures for obfuscation and transcription, and there is no need to think that Wen Changju deliberately took out Xia Xiang's test paper and removed it, otherwise he would have no way of knowing which test paper was made by Xia Xiang.

Lian Ruohan felt sad for Wen Changju's move, and felt worthless for Xia Xiang, but she thought about it again, even if it was not Xia Xiang himself, it would be the person next to Xia Xiang, and it was obvious that Xia Xiang also learned about his failure in advance. This matter can be big or small, big, maybe it can really reach the heavens and reach the ears of the emperor. Small, it's just a group of examinees making a fuss outside the Gongyuan, Wen Changju stopped the further expansion of the situation in time, and then the matter was over.

Since Hou Pingpan became the prime minister, countless ministers who opposed Hou Pingpan's changes were either dismissed or demoted from Beijing. This fraud in the field is an excellent opportunity to make a big fuss.

Lian Ruohan said goodbye to Wenchangju and went out of the Tribute Academy, seeing that the exams outside were still making trouble, the officials of the Tribute Academy were in a mess, and they couldn't rush over if they wanted to unveil the list. She sighed in her heart, Wen Changju is so incompetent, he can only be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the third prince knows no one well, how can he reuse Wen Changju? Although she still wants to call Wenchang a world uncle, no matter how good the two worlds are, they are only private relations, and when faced with major rights and wrongs, she must make a decision immediately.

It was Lian Ruohan who quickly explained three things, one was to let people go to An Zhiju to meet Xiao Jia, and today's meeting was canceled. The second is to send someone to King Jing's Mansion to inform him of what happened in Wang Gongyuan. The third is to go to the Quanyou Inn with Ling'er and meet Xia Xiang.

The people who didn't want to send to King Jing's Mansion had just left, and when they saw the king, they rode a high-headed horse with a group of followers, and Shi Shiran appeared at the gate of the tribute courtyard, which surprised Lian Ruohan secretly, thinking that the king came so quickly, who rushed to inform the king in front of her? It seems that there are other people behind the scenes who are also secretly promoting this matter.

Seeing that the king had just arrived, the officials of Shangjing Mansion also arrived.

A total of five officials came, and they were patrol officials in charge of the security of the capital. The leader is surnamed Wang Yiyi, in his early thirties, and he is shrewd and capable. Wang Eryi happened to be in charge of the security in the area of the Gongyuan, and received the news sent by Wen Changju, so he hurriedly brought people over.

Compared with a group of officials from the Gongyuan who were born in literati, they only knew how to persuade and couldn't do anything, and they couldn't remove the black list after a stalemate with the examiners for a long time, and the several officials brought by Wang Eryi were like wolves and tigers. The status of the officials is lower than that of the officials, and although the officials have no rank, they are still official personnel, while the officials have no official status at all, and only belong to the nature of serving the yamen, which is equivalent to temporary personnel. And a regular servant's subordinates will bring three or five white servants, and the white servants are supernumerary errand servants, and the servants can also receive salaries from the government, and the white servants only serve the officials and are not recognized by the government. But often the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous errands are done by white laborers. Well done, the credit goes to the servants. It's not well done, and the black pot carries it on its own.

Even if it is a government servant, the salary is very low, although the salary of the officials of Bactria is the highest, which is the highest in the previous dynasties, but the Great Xia only gives preferential treatment to literati and scholars, and does not include the official service. The servants were not of the scholarly class, and some of them even belonged to the untouchables, let alone the white servants.

It is because the income of the servants does not depend on salaries, but mostly comes from bad rules. The so-called bad rules are bad practices. The fares, donkey fees, shoes and socks fees, meals, and tea money collected from the parties by the government officials are all bad rules, but they are not allowed to take the opportunity to extort money. Since there is no regularity in the occurrence of cases, and there is no additional income when there are no cases, the arrest mainly collects bad rules from prostitutes and slaughterers.

It is precisely because of this that most of the officials have developed the bad habit of making money as soon as there is a case. Even if there was an accident in the Gongyuan, as a servant of Shangjing Mansion, Wang Eryi's first thought when he received the case was also a great joy, and he turned around for a day today, and his income was only 100 yuan, and a few people had a penny, and it was not enough to eat. There is a big incident in the Gongyuan, and you can get a few bad rules to say the least. It was he who led people to rush forward, and without saying a word, he rushed over directly, and with a shake of the chain in his hand, he put it on the neck of the leading scholar.

The leading scholar was born very thin, although he was not low, but he was like a hemp pole, he came from Jiangzhou on Jiangnan West Road, that is, Bai Juyi once served as Sima Jiangzhou, named Shi Sanxin, he thought that he was not only more talented but also smarter than Liu Yongliu Sanchang, of course, he was more handsome and chic. Jiangnan West Road is a place where talented people come out in Daxia, from the current dynasty Taidou Sima to the current prime minister Hou Pingpan, as well as Sima's proud student Zeng Gong, and so on. It was Shi Sanxin who came to the capital to take the exam this time, and he recognized himself as the top student in high school.

Unexpectedly, there was a black list, and he was defeated by a shady curtain in the cold window for ten years, and he was angry and rushed to the front to protect the black list from being revealed. The more the people of the Gongyuan want to uncover the black list, the more it shows that this year's big exam is shady, he doesn't know who Xia Xiang is, and he doesn't care, he just knows that Xia Xiang's fall off the list must be intentionally won, with the first Xia Xiang, there will be countless Xia Xiang behind, maybe he is also among them.

He didn't come forward to argue for himself and the world, so he read the sage books for ten years in vain.

Shi Sanxin was impassionedly calling on the examinees to protect the black list from being removed, but he didn't expect to be locked in chains head-on, he felt a cold neck and a pain in his shoulders, he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he was actually taken down. Thinking that although he was born in a common people, he had an innocent background, his ancestors had been farming for generations, and he had never been a traitor, and he didn't want to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he could be locked by someone, his brain was hot, and the blood was gushing up, so he grabbed the chain around his neck and sent it hard, and then raised it forward, and the chain flew back, with a bang, and put it on Wang Eryi's head.

"Hey......" Wang Eryi was angry and funny, he had been on an errand for many years, and it was the first time he was locked up by a prisoner, and he was immediately happy, "Shout, okay, have the courage and knowledge, dare to lock the official, today I will let you see what it means to survive and not to die without ......"

Wang Eryi stepped forward, grabbed Shi Sanxin's shoulders with both hands, pulled down hard, and at the same time raised his right leg up, and his knee made intimate contact with Shi Sanxin's nose.

Although Shi Sanxin is not a powerless scholar, compared with Wang Eryi, who is good at street fights, his fighting experience is still too poor. He only felt that his nose was sore and painful, and he suddenly lost the strength to resist, and squatted on the ground with his hands covering his face, bleeding profusely.

Wang Eryi was still angry, and locked the chain around Shi Sanxin's neck, kicked Shi Sanxin to the ground again, dragged Shi Sanxin away like a dog, and said scoldingly: "Dare to do it with Lao Tzu, the official will let you know what it is called to survive and not die!" ”

Wang Eryi's move immediately shocked all the examiners, and everyone looked at each other, not daring to move for half a minute, they were all frightened. A scholar is a scholar, and when a scholar meets a soldier, it is unreasonable.

Seeing that he controlled the whole situation with just one shot, Wang Eryi was even more proud, no matter how painful Shi Sanxin was lying on the ground and rolling, he continued to drag Shi Sanxin around in a circle, with a scoundrel face: "You are all literati who read the books of sages, I and other untouchables can't be compared, but untouchables have a cheap life, and the last thing they are afraid of is to exchange their lives for lives, what's the matter, if anyone is not satisfied, let the horse come, you beat me to death, you have the ability." I'll kill you, and don't be aggrieved. ”

Shi Sanxin was strangled by his neck, rolling on the ground non-stop, out of breath, and his flesh was cut by chains, the pain was unbearable, and he couldn't scream again. Seeing this, none of the examinees dared to come forward to rescue them, and they were all shocked on the spot by Wang Eryi's rogue arrogance and intimidation.

"What are you doing in a daze, raising you for nothing, not contributing when you should be doing your best, waiting to go home and eat shit?" Wang Eryi roared angrily at a few of his servants and white servants, "Let you see the excitement?" Why don't you hurry up and work for your master? ”

Wang Eryi led it, and several people under him rushed up, separating the group of examiners who were stunned, Guo Xiaoer ran the fastest, and before coming to the black list, he stretched out his hand to remove the black list. Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand was stretched out, there was a whip sound of "snap", and there was an extra whip mark on the hand out of thin air.

Guo Xiaoer shouted in pain: "Who dares to beat the official?" It's against you, quickly kneel down and ...... to the official"

Before he finished speaking, there was another whip of "snap", and Guo Xiaoer's face was whipped again, this time he was furious, reached out and pulled out the knife at his waist, and turned around to fight desperately at the person who wielded the whip.

Before he took two steps, suddenly two people came out from both sides, both of them were in ordinary clothes, they couldn't see the calendar, but they each had knives, they all had cold faces, their eyes were cold, and the one on the right didn't speak, he took out the knife on his waist, and waved it out, and the knife flashed above Guo Xiaoer's right hand.

Guo Xiaoer only felt that his right hand was cold, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground, he looked down, he couldn't believe his eyes, and then he felt pain coming from his hand, and his right hand was cut off by someone's wrist!

Guo Xiaoer was so frightened that he didn't have time to exhale in pain, and he felt a cold left leg, his body lost his balance, and he fell to the ground - his left foot was also cut off by the person on the left.

As soon as the person fell to the ground, Guo Xiaoer shouted in pain: "Ah, ah, it hurts me to death!" He shouted twice, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he fainted.

Guo Xiaoer is just a white servant, usually bullying men and women, and he is only making small fights, and he has not seen any big world. After all, Shangjing is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he is not even a small shrimp. I thought that I came to the Gongyuan today to maintain law and order, and as usual, just a few scares would make the nerds obedient, but I didn't expect that someone would cut off my hands and feet in one move.

Guo Xiaoer fainted to the ground, and everyone screamed in fright, scattering as birds and beasts. As soon as Wang Eryi's hand was released, the chain in his hand fell to the ground, Shi Sanxin took this opportunity, hurriedly threw off the chain, got up from the ground, and without saying a word, he hit Wang Eryi's stomach headlong.

Almost not strangled by Wang Eryi's chains, Shi Sanxin was shocked, frightened and angry, Guo Xiaoer was beheaded just now, others didn't see clearly on the ground, after knocking down Wang Eryi, the afterglow of his eyes swept away, only to find that Guo Xiaoer, who had fallen to the ground, was so frightened that he sat on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to say anything but couldn't say a word.

Wang Er was caught off guard and was knocked down by Shi Sanxin, and he didn't care about the stomach pain and fighting back, he sat on the ground and looked at Guo Xiaoer blankly for a moment, then jumped up suddenly, pulled out his waist knife and roared, and rushed towards the whip-wielding person: "Master and you have fought!" ”

Guo Xiaoer is Wang Eryi's brother-in-law, originally sold fruits in Shijia Hutong, and later after Wang Eryi gained power, he accepted him as a white servant. I didn't want to be good for two years, but today I broke my hand and foot, and I became a cripple, let alone being a white servant again, and I couldn't even sell fruits.

Although he also guessed that the person who sat on the high-headed horse and whipped people with a cold and arrogant face must be the nobles of Wang Sun, but his wife and brother were cut off with one hand and one foot, and he dared to pull the emperor off the horse, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, he held a knife in his hand, like an arrow off the string, and stabbed at the person on the horse with a knife.

The man on the horse sneered, waved the whip in his hand, and threw a whip flower in the air, and with a "snap", the whip hit Wang Eryi's face accurately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a thick killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Kill ......"
