When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin felt that when they were paying tribute, Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng, Yang Renxiao and Han Tai were already waiting there, and the people and candidates at the scene suddenly burst into cheers when they saw this, and they all stretched out their heads and looked around, not only to welcome the arrival of Xie Yuan and Yayuan, but also to witness the demeanor of the two.

Seeing Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin coming, Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng, Yang Renxiao and Han Tai, who were standing in front of their respective horses, bowed to the two of them in unison.

The township examination is not only an examination for the selection of lifters, but also the identity and status of the lifters are arranged according to the ranking on the list.

Therefore, through this Huguang Township test, Li Hongyu has established his first position among the people in this imperial examination, and no matter whether the rest of the people are willing to salute him or not, this kind of feudal hierarchical etiquette has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the scholars, and no one can surpass it.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin smiled on horseback and saluted Fang Yun and the four of them, and the two stopped in front of the four of them on the horse, then turned over and dismounted, standing side by side on the left and right, waiting for Zheng Lin and Wu Yuanhao to meet.

When he got off the horse, Li Hongyu secretly glanced at the high-spirited Hankook, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know if Hankook could laugh so happily in the afternoon.

It didn't take long for the closed door of the Gongyuan to creak open, and Zheng Lin and Wu Yuanhao walked out surrounded by a group of officials.

"I've seen the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner!" Seeing this, Li Hongyu took a step forward and bowed to Zheng Lin and Wu Yuanhao.

"I've seen the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner." Immediately, Zhao Xin, Fang Yun and other five people, as well as the candidates in the crowd, all bowed down and saluted with Li Hongyu.

"No courtesy."

Seeing this, Zheng Lin smiled slightly, and after carefully taking a look at Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, he quietly said to the people in front of the Gongyuan, "This official was ordered by the emperor to take the township examination of this subject, and now the township examination has been successfully concluded, and the selected eighty-five lifters are all listed on the laurel list, and today's glory belongs to Jingkui and Yakui." ”

"This official announces that the trial of Huguang Township in the Wuwu Year will start with the Kui and Yakui streets, and the whole city will celebrate together!" As he spoke, Zheng Lin looked at Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and the other six with a smile, and announced in a loud voice.

"Master Xie." When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin heard this, they bowed to Zheng Lin again, then turned over and got on their horses, and were led out of the Gongyuan, marching along the main road of Wuchang City, and began the street parade celebration of this township test.

Zheng Lin and Wu Yuanhao smiled and said a few words before returning to the Tribute Courtyard, and they would not be able to leave the Tribute Courtyard until tomorrow when they attended the Luming Banquet held by Li Yu.

According to the ranking on the township test list, Li Hongyu naturally has to walk at the front of the street queue, followed by Zhao Xin, and so on, Han Tai, the sub-kui, is only at the bottom, but even this is a great honor.

"Look, Xie Yuanlang is so young, he seems to be about the same age as that kid in my family!"

"Your kid is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he doesn't even know a single big character, how can he compare with Xie Yuanlang?"

"Master Yayuan is so handsome, he looks like a big girl when he changes into a skirt."

"Do you want to eat in prison, and dare to criticize Master Yayuan."

"Just kidding, don't you think Master Yayuan is the most handsome of the six masters?"

"That's ......"

On the way to the street, the people along the street pointed to Li Hongyu and the six people who were riding on a high-headed horse and discussed.

Of course, the people talk about it the most or Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who were admitted to understand Yuan and Yayuan, to Li Hongyu's surprise, Zhao Xin is too handsome, and the limelight has overshadowed him, Xie Yuan has become the focus of people's discussions, it seems that people with good looks have the innate advantage of attracting people's attention.

However, Li Hongyu was deeply impressed by the people's discussions about Zhao Xin, and if Zhao Xin changed into a skirt, she would become a woman completely.

On a street-facing attic in the palace of the king of Chu.

Zhu Wanting stood in front of the window on the third floor and looked at Li Hongyu at the front of the queue on the street outside the wall, feeling that the scene in front of her was like a dream, when the two met at the beginning of the year, she would never have thought that Li Hongyu would win the Xie Yuan of the Huguang Township Test.

"Sister, don't look at that kid's honest and honest appearance, in fact, he is very cunning and doesn't know how many fancy intestines there are, and his ambition is not small, if you don't hold him firmly in your hands now, then it will be difficult to get him once he steps into the official career in the future."

At this time, Zhu Yuting walked over, glanced at Li Hongyu, who was in high spirits on the street, and reminded the people along the way.

She really didn't understand that Zhu Wanting obviously liked Li Hongyu but would rather suffer herself, so she chose to let go of Li Hongyu and give Li Hongyu freedom.

"Sister, do you think he can become the champion next year?" Zhu Wanting smiled slightly when she heard this, and then looked at Zhu Yuting with interest.

"Silly girl, if he becomes the champion, there is no possibility between you and him, the champion is the head of the Great Ming Shilin, the mainstay of the country's future, how can the emperor let a champion become our guest of honor?"

Zhu Yuting couldn't help but stretched out her slender jade finger and gently poked Zhu Wanting's forehead, and said with some hatred, "You, you, I don't know what ** soup he poured into it, the whole person is simply stunned." ”

"Sister, I really envy Miss Zhao, not only did she dress up as a man to participate in the township test, but she also won the Asian Yuan, she is really a heroine among women." Zhu Wanting smiled when she heard this, and then her eyes fell on Zhao Xin, who was following Li Hongyu, and her eyes flashed with a gloomy look.

After experiencing a series of previous events, Zhu Wanting knew very well why Zhao Xin wanted to take the township exam and also got such good results, and there was an inextricable relationship with Li Hongyu.

Therefore, Zhu Wanting is very envious of Zhao Xin's courage and freedom in the imperial examination in pursuit of happiness, I am afraid that no woman in the world except Zhao Xin can do such an incredible thing.

"She's as stupid as you, now she's put herself in danger, if she hits the Jinshi at that time, it will undoubtedly kill herself, and the matter of her daughter will be revealed sooner or later." Zhu Yuting couldn't help but sigh, looked at Zhao Xin in the marching queue and said faintly.

She really couldn't understand why Zhao Xin did this, with Zhao Xin's conditions, it was obvious that she could marry into a famous family, live a leisurely life with a husband and children, and she didn't want to do such a crazy thing at all, once the incident happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Maybe she and I are really stupid!" Zhu Wanting smiled when she heard this, her smile was full of bitterness, she never thought that her supposed carefree life would be disrupted by Li Hongyu who suddenly broke in.

As in previous years, this year's township test street parade celebration caused a sensation in the city, making thousands of people empty in Wuchang City, and people gathered around the main road in the city to watch the excitement.

For the people of Nanjing City and the provincial capitals of the thirteen provinces, the township examination is the highest local imperial examination, and naturally everyone is looking forward to it.

After the street parade is over, the students of the state capitals gather together at noon to congratulate those who have won the lift, and the scene is very lively.

Speaking of which, Xiangyang Prefecture is the biggest winner among the 17 prefecture capitals in Huguang in this township test, and the Wujing Kui has won three of them, while Jiangkou County is the winner among the winners, covering both the Yuan and the Asian Yuan, which is simply incredible.

Among the eight people in Xiangyang Mansion, there are three people related to Zhao Guangfeng's Zhao family, namely Zhao Guangfeng's two sons Zhao Wenhan, Zhao Wenting and Zhao Guangfeng's grandson Li Hongyu.

In fact, there are five people related to the Zhao family, in addition to Li Hongyu, Zhao Wenhan and Zhao Wenting, as well as Zhao Xin and Liu Dongfu, who are close to Li Hongyu, can be regarded as belonging to the camp of the Zhao family.

Needless to say, Liu Dongfu has already taken refuge in Li Hongyu in public, as for Zhao Xin, although she won the Yayuan in the township examination this time, she is an outsider after all, and she has no foundation in Jiangkou County, considering her relationship with Li Hongyu, she is naturally regarded as a member of the Zhao family.

Of course, the gathering of the students of the seventeen state capitals did not need them to break the bank, and the big businessmen of the seventeen state capitals bore the expenses of this time, not only taking this opportunity to make friends with the students and lifting people, but also taking the opportunity to send money and gifts to the new people to try their best to win over.

This has formed an unwritten practice in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, this money is only a drop in the bucket for those merchants.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing I would like to inform you below."

After the banquet, Li Hongyu summoned Zhao Xin and Yang Renxiao and other seven newcomers to Xiangyang Mansion, and quietly announced a message to them, "Both the lower and the head of the plan think that the trial of the Mingyue Pavilion case is too fast, and there are many doubts that have not yet been clarified, so I hope that you can support the retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion case at tomorrow's Luming banquet." ”

Hearing this, except for Zhao Xin, who had already known about the matter, Yang Renxiao and the others were all taken aback, they never expected that Li Hongyu would persuade Fang Yun to retry Mingyue Pavilion's case.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Li Hongyi involved in the case is a cousin in Xia, you may think that Zai Xia wants to exonerate him, and Zai Xia doesn't want to explain anything about this, but just wants to tell you that Zai Xia and the head of the plan hope that the Mingyue Pavilion case can be investigated clearly, instead of being forced to close the case in a hurry, and give justice to the dead Xu Shengyuan, so that he can look under Jiuquan."

After glancing around at the scene with surprised looks, Li Hongyu said solemnly, "In addition, this Mingyue Pavilion case is related to the reputation of my Xiangyang Shizi, and I think that this case should be investigated to see if Li Hongyi is the murderer!" ”

"Brother Li is reasonable, and I also think that there are still many doubts in the Mingyue Pavilion case to be investigated." As soon as Li Hongyu's words fell, Wang Kuiju put down the teacup in his hand and said, agreeing with Li Hongyu's proposal.

"I also feel that the case of Mingyue Pavilion was closed in a hurry, and it is best to re-investigate." Immediately, Lu Kun also opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"Brother Li, the head of this matter also agrees?" After listening to Wang Kuiju and Lu Kun's words, Yang Renxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and asked Li Hongyu with a serious expression.

Obviously, Zhao Xin, Liu Dongfu, Zhao Wenhan and Zhao Wenting are on Li Hongyu's side, so he is left to make a choice.

"Brother Yang, this matter is absolutely true, if you don't get the support of the head of the plan, I'm afraid the government will definitely not retry this case, and it will also make Xiangyang Mansion and Changsha Mansion Shilin a rift." Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and replied to Yang Renxiao with an affirmative expression, which is also the reason why he dragged Fang Yun into the water to investigate the case, and the students in Changsha Mansion needed Fang Yun to appease.

"Since this is the case, then I also agree with this matter, and find out the case and give justice to the deceased." Yang Renxiao felt that Li Hongyu didn't seem to be lying, Fang Yun's attitude was very important, so after hearing this, he nodded and agreed, according to what Li Hongyu said, this matter was related to the reputation of the students of Xiangyang Mansion, and he couldn't avoid it.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, I have discussed with the head of the plan, and I plan to inform all the new recruits of this matter today, and I hope that the two of you will help." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice after bowing his hands to Zhao Xin and Yang Renxiao.

"Brother Li is polite, this is within my equal reach." Zhao Xin and Yang Renxiao immediately returned the salute, as the leaders of the scriptures, they are undoubtedly more authoritative among the new promoters, and it is easier to convince people.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, according to the plan, he was going to let the five Jingkui go to inform the new promoters of the seventeen state capitals in Huguang separately, so that they could connect all the lifters in the shortest possible time, and then follow him and Fang Yun to the governor together.
