(Thank you Ho Zhimin greatly, the bubbling fish greatly, the tumbler greatly, and everyone who subscribed and voted greatly.) With your support, I can persevere. ）

In the evening, in a restaurant in Wuchang City, Zhao Xin set up a banquet to invite Yang Renxiao, Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng and other students.

Since Governor Li Yu accepted the opinions of the students, announced that the results of the Linjianglou case were given before the township examination, and Li Hongyu's reputation had not been removed, this was a huge victory for Zhao Xin and others.

As the initiator of the banquet, Zhao Xin naturally did not refuse to come to those who toasted, and frequently raised his glass to drink with others, which seemed very bold, and the amount of wine surprised Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng and others, in their opinion, Zhao Xin's drinking was simply like drinking water.

Yang Renxiao poured himself a drink there with an expressionless face, his mood was very complicated, on the one hand, he was happy that Qin Yue was able to get out of the Linjiang Tower case, but at the same time, he felt lost because Li Hongyu had escaped.

Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng and others seemed a little cold towards Yang Renxiao, and they all talked and laughed with Zhao Xin, compared with Yang Renxiao, who was arrogant and in a bad mood, the cheerful and enthusiastic Zhao Xin was obviously easier to deal with.

Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng noticed Yang Renxiao's strange appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in their hearts, the two of them were keenly aware that Yang Renxiao didn't seem to be very happy about Li Hongyu's escape, could there be a gap between the two?

As for the grievances between Li Hongyu and Yang Renxiao, Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng, who are from other places, are not clear, but soon the two will know, and it is obvious that they will not let go of exploring the hidden secrets, after all, if everyone wants to communicate in the future, they will naturally know themselves and each other, so as not to commit any taboos.

Besides, Yang Renxiao's strength is very strong, if nothing else, he will definitely be promoted, and Li Hongyu and Zhao Xincan beat Yang Renxiao in the government examination and the hospital examination one after another, and they should also be nominated for the laurels.

At the same time, in a green building in Wuchang City, Zheng Lin and Du Yi'an enjoyed the performance of the singing and dancing girl while drinking and chatting.

"Brother Du, you have been in Huguang for a year, do you know where the head of the Xiangyang Mansion children's test case came from? can actually invite the Chu Palace! After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zheng Lin groaned, lowered his voice and asked Du Yi'an.

"His ancestral home is Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, and he lost his father since he was a child, and he has not heard that he has anything to do with the Chu Palace."

Du Yi'an shook his head when he heard this, he also felt that this matter was very strange, if Li Hongyu had something to do with the Chu Palace, then he would not have been beaten by Cheng Niu Feng of Xiangyang County in Xiangyang City.

But then again, not long after, that Niu Feng fell into bad luck, and the crime of corruption was exposed, and he ended up hanging.

In fact, Du Yi'an felt a little strange about Niu Feng's case, he had served as the imperial historian for many years, and naturally had rich experience in adjudicating cases, Niu Feng's case went too smoothly from beginning to end, and everything seemed too logical, especially the sudden appearance of Niu Feng's concubine, which made him feel that Niu Feng was calculated.

In the past, Du Yi'an had not contacted Niu Feng's matter with the tortured Li Hongyu, and thought that Niu Feng's enemies had done it, after all, Niu Feng had many enemies in Xiangyang City.

But after experiencing the incident of Linjiang Tower, Du Yi'an suddenly found that he seemed to despise Li Hongyu, Niu Feng's matter is related to Li Hongyu, Niu Feng was not calculated by the enemy sooner or later, and he was unlucky after he was sentenced to Li Hongyu, which was obviously not an accident.

"I didn't expect those students who took the exam to boycott the exam, which was really unexpected to me." Zheng Lin saw that Du Yi'an was also puzzled by this matter, so he said with a smile, "It's really a group of newborn calves, seeing them, I can't help but think that when we were young, I am afraid we will do the same." ”

"The reason why Wuchang Mansion was besieged this time, one of Li Hongyu's fellow villagers played a pivotal role, not only connecting the students of the seventeen state capitals, but also personally going to persuade the people of Changsha Mansion to act together."

Du Yi'an also laughed, as a patrol of the imperial history, he was naturally very concerned about Li Hongyu's case, but it was inconvenient for him to intervene before the local yamen was concluded, but he was very concerned about the case, knowing that Zhao Xin was running around for Li Hongyu's case, and it could be said that he was the behind-the-scenes commander of the siege of Wuchangwei this time.

In fact, Du Yi'an can supervise Li Hongyu's case as a governor of the imperial history, but the case is too complicated and his term of office is about to expire, so it is better to have more than one thing, and it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"What you are talking about is the student who followed Li Hongyu into the Xiangyang County Prison, it seems that his name is Zhao ......" Zheng Lin couldn't help but say when he heard this, and he couldn't remember Zhao Xin's name for a while.

"Zhao Xin, the second place in the Xiangyang Mansion Examination, is a bold and careful young man who is quite talented." Du Yi'an said Zhao Xin's name with a smile, "If he can step into the official career, he will become a great weapon in time." ”

Du Yi'an's remarks are not deliberately exaggerating Zhao Xin, you must know that it is not easy to connect the students of a province to the yamen demonstration, and those who can do this need to have enough organizational and communication skills, and these are two important conditions for being able to dominate the officialdom.

"It seems that the two of them are friends who are irreversible, and ordinary people can't do Zhao Xin like this." Zheng Lin bowed slightly, and said with emotion, this is a big gamble in life.

"One thing you may not know, now in the casino in Wuchang City, Li Hongyu's odds for the Zhongxiang test to solve the yuan ranked third, maybe he will really stand out." Du Yi'an said with a smile while pouring wine for Zheng Lin, "I just don't know if he can pass Brother Zheng's level." ”

"Yan Tixue seems to appreciate him very much, and there must be something unique about him." Zheng Lin laughed, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Du Yi'an and drank it all, he wanted to see how Li Hongyu would play in the township test.

In fact, the biggest contributor to Li Hongyu's case is not Zhao Xin, although Zhao Xin has worked hard for Li Hongyu, but the person who plays a vital role is Zhu Wanting, if Zhu Wanting hadn't broken into the torture room of Wuchangwei Prison in time, then Li Hongyu would have already become a cold corpse.

At this moment, Wuchang City, the palace of Hanchang County.

"Sister, this time you can rest assured, the examiner and the examiner are both helping Li Hongyu speak, and this time he can be regarded as passing the test safely."

Zhu Shengchang was drinking with Zhu Wanting in the living room in the backyard, since this was a family banquet, just the two of them, Zhu Shengchang poured Zhu Wanting a glass of wine and asked with a smile.

"If it weren't for the second brother helping him, he would have crossed the Nai He Bridge a long time ago." Zhu Wanting smiled and raised the wine glass in her hand to Zhu Shengchang, "The person he wants to thank is actually the second brother." ”

"Thank you for being exempt, it's just a gesture." Zhu Shengchang smiled and touched the wine glass with Zhu Wanting, and asked quietly while tasting the wine in the wine glass, "Although the second brother doesn't want to mention it, what is going on between you and that Li Hongyu?" ”

"It's not much, haven't I already said it, we've only had drinks together." Zhu Wanting was drinking, her cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she pretended to be calm.

Zhu Shengchang, who had been paying attention to Zhu Wanting, keenly noticed the flush on Zhu Wanting's face, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

In Zhu Shengchang's view, Zhu Wanting should marry into a famous family, and the best destination is to become the daughter-in-law of a powerful family in Nanjing, so as to be worthy of Zhu Wanting.

It's also strange to say, although the princess is the daughter of the emperor, but in order to limit the power of his relatives, Emperor Hongwu married the princess very ordinary, and some even married ordinary people, and no one married a wealthy family.

The county lord is different, because the feudal kings in various places have lost the local military and political power, so the county lord can marry into those powerful families, which is actually to stabilize the rule of the imperial power.

Therefore, with Zhu Wanting's respect as the county lord, Li Hongyu really can't be worthy, but Zhu Shengchang can't say this to Zhu Wanting directly, he knows Zhu Wanting's character very well, and the stubborn Zhu Wanting will not easily give up a thing that she recognizes, so this matter can only be solved step by step.

What especially makes Zhu Shengchang feel depressed is that Li Hongyu already has a marriage contract, which means that there is no future between Zhu Wanting and Li Hongyu at all, should Li Hongyu go to Zhu Wanting after retiring from his family, or let Zhu Wanting become a concubine? It's crazy enough to think about.

To be honest, Zhu Shengchang is a little remorseful now, if he had known that this kind of thing would happen, then he would definitely not save Li Hongyu, which would have hurt Zhu Wanting.

Sometimes the emperor, empress or queen mother will give them marriage, not only that, but also report to the capital to be reviewed and filed by the Zongren Mansion, which has a complete and complex process.

Zhu Shengchang didn't want to see Zhu Wanting make a fuss about running away from marriage for Li Hongyu, with his understanding of Zhu Wanting, Zhu Wanting really did this kind of thing.

"Second brother, do you think he can take the Xie Yuan exam in this subject?" Just when Zhu Shengchang was deep in thought, Zhu Wanting suddenly remembered something, so she put down the wine glass in her hand and asked with interest.

"Where is Xie Yuan so easy to test, if it weren't for you betting on 100,000 taels, his current odds ranking is still behind."

Zhu Shengchang came back to his senses when he heard this, smiled and poured Zhu Wanting a glass of wine, "Besides, Shen Bocheng of Wuchang Mansion and Fang Yuan of Changsha Mansion are idle people, Li Hongyu must pass these two levels if he wants to become Xie Yuan."

"Second brother, I bet with you, he will definitely be able to become Xie Yuan." Zhu Wanting couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and replied confidently.

"Oh?" Zhu Shengchang couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and he didn't know why Zhu Wanting had so much confidence.

"The reason is very simple, he promised me that if I want to take the Xie Yuan exam, then I will definitely be able to do it!" Zhu Wanting saw Zhu Shengchang's puzzled expression, so she explained with a smile.

"I hope so, otherwise I really feel a little sorry for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Zhu Shengchang smiled a little helplessly, Zhu Wanting's current appearance undoubtedly made him even more depressed, and he couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart that Li Hongyu would try to break the halberd, and it would be best not to even lift people to be admitted, so that Zhu Wanting would definitely be disappointed, and then forget Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu naturally didn't know that he had been hated by Zhu Shengchang, and at this time he was wandering through the books related to the township test in Wuchangwei's prison, quietly waiting for the arrival of the township test, this time the township test was related to his future fate, so he could only succeed and not fail.
