(Recommended reading: After the Spring Festival, there is only a little more than a month before the examination on the ninth day of February, so the lifters in the capital have seized the last time to prepare for the exam, and they all want to stand out in the examination and take the Gongshi.

As long as you win the tribute, then it means that you will become a jinshi, because the palace examination is only an exam for the emperor to arrange the final ranking of those tribute scholars, in order to determine the candidates for the top three jinshi, and no one will be defeated.

Since the palace examination was presided over by the emperor, the jinshi were also called "protégés of the son of heaven", and if an official from the jinshi was guilty of a capital crime, he could only be executed after the emperor's nod, and he was not allowed to kill without permission.

Li Hongyu looked at the books preparing for the exam intently at home, after all, the examination is different from the township examination, and the outstanding literati from all over the country came to take the exam, so it is not easy to get a tribute from it, and it is not uncommon for Xie Yuan in various provinces to fail to become a tribute.

After all, the people who took the exam were not produced by a township test, and the vast majority of them were those from the previous township exams, and there was naturally no shortage of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Because of the exam, Li Hongyu did not go to the lively lantern festival in the capital to watch the excitement, but honestly stayed at home to read.

Looking at the moves of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu's opponents are naturally those of the Southern Volume, and he can only consider becoming the leader of the examination "Huiyuan" if he stands out from the candidates of the Southern Volume.

"Li Hongyu is not there?"

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the second lunar month, when Li Hongyu was flipping through books at home, a team of officers from the county government of Daxing County broke in violently, and the middle-aged errand officer who led the group asked with an expressionless face that the Li family who was cleaning in the courtyard was scary.

Seeing this, the Li family member suddenly felt bad, so he threw away the broom in his hand and ran to the backyard like a gust of wind to report to Li Hongyu.

"The people of Daxing County!" Li Hongyu frowned suddenly after learning the news, and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, it was obvious that the people from Daxing County would not come here for no reason.

"Could it be that Zhang Quan made a ghost?" Immediately, the image of Zhang Quan appeared in front of Li Hongyu's eyes, if he remembered correctly, Zhu Wanting had reminded him that Zhang Quan might be calculating him, and now it seems that there is a good chance that this matter is related to Zhang Quan.

"Brother Yu, why are the people from Daxing County here?" At this moment, Qin Yue walked into the room quickly and looked at Li Hongyu with concern.

There are two attached Guo counties in the capital, one is Daxing County, the other is Wanping County, under the jurisdiction of Shun Tianfu, according to the central axis of the capital as the boundary, the west and the western suburbs of the capital belong to Wanping County, the east and the eastern suburbs of the capital belong to Daxing County, are the two "Beijing counties" of Daming Hall.

It is worth mentioning that after the people of the capital committed a crime, they did not come to get people from Shuntianfu, but were first dealt with by the officers of Daxing County or Wanping County, and only when they encountered a major case would they be reported to Shuntianfu.

Since the area where Li Zhai is located is under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, if Li Hongyu commits a crime, the officials of the Daxing County Government will come to get people.

"Yue'er, you quickly go to Princess Shouning's Mansion to find the county lord of Zhaoxiang, and say that I was calculated." Li Hongyu didn't know what was going on now, but it was obviously not a good thing, so he said solemnly to Qin Yue after a deep groan.

"Hmm." Qin Yue realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded vigorously to Li Hongyu.

"Are you Li Hongyu?" As soon as Qin Yue's words fell, several messengers from the county government of Daxing County broke in, and the middle-aged messengers who led the way looked Li Hongyu up and down, and asked quietly.

"It's exactly down there." Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked quietly, "Dare to ask this poor master, why did you come this time." ”

"Li Hongyu, you have been sued, now come with us and go to the yamen to explain things clearly." The middle-aged errand officer in the lead turned pale when he heard this, and waved his hand at Li Hongyu to the person behind him, "Come on, please let Li Jieyuan go." ”

As he spoke, the two tall and tall servants rushed forward, grabbed Li Hongyu left and right, and hurriedly walked out, if it weren't for Li Hongyu's meritorious reputation, he would definitely be locked away by these officers of the county government with chains.

"This poor master, I don't know what my son-in-law has committed?" At this time, Rou'er on the side hurriedly stuffed a silver ingot into the hands of the leading middle-aged officer, and asked in a low voice.

"Your son-in-law is too romantic, he actually had an affair with someone else's wife, and now he has been sued in the yamen." The middle-aged errand in the lead reached out and checked the ingot of silver, and then stuffed it into his waist, and then kindly reminded, "If you have a relationship in the capital, try to find it, otherwise your son-in-law will not be able to participate in the examination the day after tomorrow based on the current case!" ”

After speaking, the middle-aged messenger led the rest of the people to leave quickly, he is just an errand person, there is no need to offend Li Hongyu, after all, the move to enter Beijing to catch the exam, especially Xie Yuan, who took the township exam, must have a close connection with those officials of the same nationality in the capital, and he intervened in this matter when he was full.

Besides, Rou'er stuffed such a big ingot of silver so reasonably, so he was naturally willing to sell face to Rou'er, anyway, now that Li Hongyu's case is being tried in the lobby of the county government of Daxing County, the people of the Li family will soon know what happened.

"How could the young master have an affair with someone?" After the middle-aged errand servant left, Rou'er couldn't help but anxiously ask Qin Yue, it was obvious that someone was framing Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu hadn't even touched her, how could she have an adulterous affair with another woman?

"Quick, let people go and inform the county lord of Zhaoxiang and Zhao Yayuan." Qin Yue naturally knew that Li Hongyu had been framed, so after a deep groan, he said with a cold expression, "If Brother Yu can't escape this catastrophe this time, then he will have to delay the trial!" ”

Rou'er was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly arranged for someone to go to find Zhu Wanting, Zhao Xin and others, who Li Hongyu relied on the most in the capital.

Subsequently, Rou'er followed Qin Yue and rushed to the county office of Daxing County in a hurry to see what was going on.

Daxing County Ya.

When Li Hongyu was taken to the county government by the officers, he found that many people were gathered in the courtyard outside the lobby to watch the excitement and talk to each other.

Seeing Li Hongyu coming, those people looked at him one after another, pointing at him and whispering something, their eyes were quite cold, as if he was a sinner.

"Phew, what Huguang Jieyuan, it's shameless!" Just as Li Hongyu was about to enter the lobby, a woman in the crowd who was watching the excitement couldn't help but spat on the ground, looked at Li Hongyu coldly and said.

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, although he didn't know what reason the county government of Daxing County arrested him, but from the woman's scolding, he vaguely felt that it might be related to weathering.

Entering the lobby, Li Hongyu saw some men and women kneeling on the ground on the side of the lobby, and in the front was a young couple, the woman was crying there with her head down, while the man was staring at Li Hongyu fiercely, looking like he wanted to swallow Li Hongyu.

Vaguely, Li Hongyu felt that the woman kneeling there seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"The student has seen the county lord!" Behind the desk in the lobby sat a middle-aged man wearing a seven-grade official uniform, Li Hongyu stepped forward and bowed when he saw this, and he naturally didn't have to kneel.

The reason why Li Hongyu called the official of the Zhengqipin in the hall "Lord County" instead of "Lord Zhixian" was because the officials of Daming Jing County were two levels higher than the officials of ordinary county officials.

Therefore, from the official uniform, Li Hongyu can easily tell that the person sitting in the lobby at this time is the county magistrate and not the magistrate.

"Li Jieyuan, do you know why this official sent you here?" Han Song, the county of Daxing County, who was sitting in the lobby, glanced at Li Hongyu, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Xie Yuan from Huguang to be so young, so he asked quietly.

"Back to the county, the students don't know." Li Hongyu shook his head and replied in a loud voice.

"Yang, do you recognize this person?" Hearing this, Han Song looked at the crying woman kneeling in the lobby, pointed at Li Hongyu and asked in a deep voice.

"If you go back to your lordship, the women will recognize him, he is Li Jieyuan of Huguang." Hearing this, Yang raised his head and glanced at Li Hongyu, then quickly looked away, nodded and said.

"Li Jieyuan, do you know her?" Han Song then pointed at Yang and asked Li Hongyu.

"Déjà vu, but the student forgot to see her there." Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, and then replied that he still didn't know what case he had committed, so the best choice now was to tell the truth, so as to minimize passivity.

"Déjà vu?" Han Song's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he said to the Yang clan in a loud voice, "Say, how did you know Li Jieyuan?" ”

"My lord, the woman went to Li Jieyuan's house to do needlework for a few days a few years ago." Hearing this, Yang bit his lip and raised his head to Han Song and said.

Hearing Yang say this, Li Hongyu's brows wrinkled slightly, he felt that Yang was a little familiar, it turned out that he had done needlework in Li's house, it seemed that he had inadvertently seen Yang, so he couldn't remember it now, he was busy sorting out the relationship between the officialdom in the capital, how could he pay attention to a woman who worked as a female worker?

"Li Jieyuan, is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Han Song couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu and asked expressionlessly.

"Back to the county, the student's family did invite someone to do needlework a few years ago, but the student has always cared about these things at home, so he didn't pay attention to the female workers who entered the house." Li Hongyu bowed his hand to Han Song and replied solemnly.

"Hmph, you slept with my wife, and you are still pretending to be serious here."

Hearing this, the man kneeling beside the Yang family couldn't help but speak, pointed at Li Hongyu and scolded, "You scum are simply inferior to beasts, you are full of benevolence and morality on the surface, but in fact, you are a belly of male thieves and prostitutes, and you are not as good as beasts!" ”

"Good scolding!" With a bang, the people listening to the trial in the courtyard outside the hall suddenly became a commotion, and some young people secretly applauded.
