Chapter 155: A One-Day Covenant

When Li Hongyu informed Yang Renxiao and the others that they would join Fang Yun tomorrow to advise Governor Li Yu and request a retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion case, Fang Yun also summoned the new recruits of Changsha Mansion in the inn where the Changsha Mansion students were staying.

Although Xiangyang Mansion won three economic champions, the number of new promoters was not as good as that of Wuchang Mansion, which had sixteen new recruits, while Changsha Mansion had fifteen.

If it weren't for the murder of Xu Tao, who ranked third in the scientific expedition of Changsha Prefecture, in Mingyue Pavilion, then the number of new promoters in Changsha Mansion would be the same as that of Wuchang Prefecture, which also reflects that the average level of scholars in the two regions is much higher than that of the other fifteen prefectures in Huguang.

"What?" When Fang Yun told everyone that he was going to join Li Hongyu at tomorrow's Luming Banquet to advise Li Yu about the Mingyue Pavilion case, everyone was taken aback.

Especially Hankook, who was sipping tea, couldn't help but tremble with his hand holding the teacup, causing the tea in the teacup to spill out.

Han Tai looked at Fang Yun with a serious expression on his face in astonishment, he couldn't believe his ears for a while, no matter what, he didn't expect Fang Yun to make such a shocking decision.

"Brother Fang, Li Hongyi is Li Jieyuan's cousin, does he want to exonerate Li Hongyi?" Just when Han Tae was stunned, one of the people present had already spoken, his words full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Fang Yun curiously, waiting for his explanation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is the result of my joint discussion with Li Jieyuan, and we have already made this decision a few days ago."

Fang Yun knew that this matter was too sudden for everyone to accept for a while, so he glanced around at the scene and said solemnly, "Although the Mingyue Pavilion case has been concluded, there are many doubts in it, presumably you know this, if you don't solve these mysteries, then you can't really find out the facts of the case, so that the murdered Xu Shengyuan will be blinded under Jiuquan." ”

"Now that the township test has ended, Li Jieyuan and I think that when it comes time to solve this matter, it is not only to find out the truth and give Xu Shengren justice, but also to avoid taking on the reputation of coercing the government and disregarding people's lives."

As he spoke, Fang Yun looked at the screen on the side and said in a deep voice, "Xu Shengyuan's brother-in-law has already agreed to this matter, and he also thinks that the trial of the Mingyue Pavilion case is too hasty to convince the public. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel that there is still something strange about the cause of Xu Shengyuan's death, so I want the government to find out clearly, so that I can explain it to the world!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the screen, and under their surprised gaze, Wang Hongyun walked out from behind the screen quickly, bowed to everyone with a serious expression and said.

"Since Wang Shengyuan also feels that this case needs to be retried, then we naturally support it." Hearing this, a person couldn't help but open his mouth and said to the people present, which made people bow their heads one after another, after all, Wang Hongyun, who is Xu Tao's brother-in-law, agreed to this matter, so what else do they have to insist on?

"It will be difficult to close the case in a short period of time as soon as the case is opened, but a few days later it will be the day of the big exam, and after the big exam, you have to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and the time during the period is urgent."

At this time, Han Tai stabilized his mind and couldn't help but say to Fang Yun in a deep voice, the "big exam" in his mouth refers to the examination for the selection of people to enter the Beijing Reference Entrance Examination by raising people.

It is worth mentioning that not all students can participate in the township examination, and not all people can enter Beijing to participate in the examination, otherwise the people in the capital will be overcrowded, so the number of people who participate in the examination in the two Beijing and thirteen provinces each time has a quota, and the people have to pass the examination to obtain this quota.

In addition, for those who have participated in the examination several times and have no name on the gold list, the imperial court will grant them official positions as encouragement, which can be regarded as an alternative comfort.

Han Tae's words suddenly caused a small commotion at the scene, causing people to whisper to each other, they are new to the big exam in three days, and they are now full of spirit to pass the big exam and enter Beijing to catch the exam, so what Han Taok said is closely related to their fate.

Different from other state capitals, because the people involved in the Mingyuege case, Li Hongyi and Xu Tao, were from Xiangyang Prefecture and Changsha Prefecture, after the case was retried, those newcomers in Xiangyang Prefecture and Changsha Prefecture who participated in the township examination with Li Hongyi and Xu Tao were not good at the friendship of "the same year", and they rushed to Beijing to take the examination after the case was concluded.

In this way, there will undoubtedly be a lot of delay, God knows when the case of Mingyue Pavilion will be completed, and if they delay the time to enter Beijing to catch the exam, they will regret it.

What's more, there were several newcomers at the scene who were involved in the case of Mingyue Pavilion like Han Tai, and they were also drinking in Mingyue Pavilion at that time, so they became the people involved in the Mingyue Pavilion case and couldn't leave until the case was over.

According to the custom, after the "big competition" of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, the lifters who have obtained the qualifications to participate in the examination will rush to the capital to participate in the examination.

The time of the "big competition" between the two capitals and thirteen provinces is the middle of September, and the results will come out in late September, and the time of the examination is the ninth day of February, and the eighth day of February is the day to receive the examination card.

This means that people must come to the capital on the eighth day of February, otherwise they will unfortunately lose the qualification for this examination, and they can only participate in the next "big competition".

Considering the inconvenient transportation in ancient times and the influence of winter weather, as well as the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces, the word "rush" vividly shows the difficulty of lifting people to enter Beijing to participate in the examination.

In particular, those in the remote provinces in the south have paid unforeseeable hardships in order to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and some even leave their lives on the way to the examination.

Therefore, no one who has passed the big competition exam hopes that he will be caught in a case and cannot leave for Beijing to catch the exam, after all, in addition to traveling, they also have to adapt to the environment of the capital and prepare for the exam, and the time is precious, and no one wants to waste it easily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this case will not delay everyone for too long, and the trial will be concluded before Dabi, and it will not delay everyone's time." Fang Yun naturally knew everyone's worries, so he glanced at Han Tai silently and said in a deep voice.

"Before Dabi? Wouldn't that be two days later! Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned, with an unbelievable look on their faces, tomorrow is the day of the Luming feast, could it be that the case of Mingyue Pavilion will be closed within the day after tomorrow?

The look on Han Tai's face became a little ugly, and his heart suddenly hung up, and Fang Yun's composure made him feel inexplicably nervous and afraid.

"Everyone, believe me, the case of Mingyue Pavilion will have a result in two days." Fang Yun noticed the change in Han Tai's face and raised his voice and said.

"In that case, I'll wait and see." Hearing this, after everyone at the scene looked at each other, a man said, he was curious about how such a complex homicide case could be tried in just one day.

When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately bowed their heads in agreement, and everyone was looking forward to what would happen the day after tomorrow, which made Han Tai's face even more ugly, and his mind was uneasy, it was obvious that he couldn't stop Fang Yun from waiting patiently to see what happened.

In the afternoon, Li Hongyu took a break from his busy entertainment and went to the Shen Mansion and handed over the matter of entertaining visitors to Li Hongqing, which was enough to represent him to deal with those visitors.

Shen Bocheng is a rising star in Wuchang Mansion Shilin, and this time he was admitted to the township examination, and he was a little arrogant, so it was natural for Li Hongyu to go and personally tell him about the retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion case.

With Shen Bocheng's move, the Shen Mansion was filled with a festive and joyful atmosphere, as a famous family of Wuchang Mansion, it naturally attracted many guests to come to congratulate, more lively than the Li family, and the visitors were all rich and noble.

Knowing that it was Xinke Xie Yuan who came to find Shen Bocheng, the subordinates who entertained the guests in front of the Shen Mansion did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed Li Hongyu in, and notified Shen Bocheng among the guests.

Shen Bocheng was very surprised by this, it stands to reason that Li Hongyu, who was admitted to Xie Yuan, should be busy greeting guests at home now, how can he have time to come to him in person, is there anything important?

"You want to retry the Mingyue Pavilion case?" So, Shen Bocheng said hello to the distinguished guests who came to congratulate him, and then went to the room where Li Hongyu was located to meet him, and was taken aback when he learned about the intention from Li Hongyu, he never expected that Li Hongyu would come for this matter.

"Don't Brother Shen feel that this case is full of suspicions and there are many unsolved mysteries!" Li Hongyu looked at Shen Bocheng who looked surprised and said.

"You've found clues to the case?" Shen Bocheng groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Li Hongyu and asked, in his opinion, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun would definitely not rashly propose a retrial, they must have found some key evidence, otherwise it would undoubtedly be a waste of everyone's time.

"Don't hide it from Brother Shen, Brother Fang and I did find out some hidden secrets, which are enough to change the direction of the case." Li Hongyu knew that Shen Bocheng was a smart person, so there was no need for him to hide some things from Shen Bocheng, and after a deep groan, he nodded at Shen Bocheng and confirmed his guess.

"Since this is the case, then I will support Brother Li and Brother Fang, hoping to find out the truth of the case of Qingyue Pavilion and bring the real culprit to justice."

After listening to Li Hongyu's answer, a look of surprise suddenly flashed on Shen Bocheng's face, could it be that Li Hongyu and Fang Yun are more powerful than the people in the government? Then he arched his hand to Li Hongyu and said, he couldn't help but look forward to seeing what Li Hongyu and Fang Yun had found.

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and returned the salute, after getting Shen Bocheng, then Huguang Township has reached an agreement on the retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion case, so the rest of the things are easy to say, and tomorrow's Luming banquet will definitely cause a shock in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a new imperial examination person at the Luming banquet to retry the case, and it is led by Xie Yuan, presumably the scene at that time must be very interesting.
