After Qiu Tongmian heard the teacher's words, he let go of Jia Ergongzi and looked at Yang Xuezheng with a complicated expression. Yang Xuezheng saw that he put down Jia Er, got up and grabbed the fence of the cell, and said to Qiu Tongmian, "It's because the teacher is sorry for you, and I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Liu Qi's suggestion and joined forces with Jia Shilang." ”

When Qiu Tongmian heard the teacher admit, he said angrily, "Since it is related to Jia Shilang, why did I only see the three of us coming in, but I didn't see him, I think the teacher was regarded as a substitute for the dead." ”

Yang Xuezheng saw that Qiu Tongmian saw it thoroughly, and said with relief, "To put it mildly, when has this imperial examination ever been fair?" The world's poor scholars, can be like you in high school, how have you ever been, the court and the central government use power to seek officials, seek personal fraud, how numerous, as a teacher just has no big backer, so let others become chess pieces, the helplessness, with the advance, you are so smart, you should be able to see it. ”

Qiu Tongmian saw the teacher's appearance, and he didn't know what to say about him, if it was him, he would definitely not bite him to death again and had something to do with Jia Shilang, Jia Shilang was a dignified third-grade official, not to mention whether you could move him for this matter, if he couldn't be knocked down, I was afraid that the death would be even more ugly, if he was outside, taking care of his nephew, maybe he could be fished out. It's just that in the morning, it was the cabinet, and the secretary of the criminal department personally arrested people, and said that it was ordered by the emperor, I am afraid that it is not as simple as it seems, and there must be a problem in it.

Thinking of this, he said to Yang Xuezheng, who sighed, "Teacher". Seeing that he was still in a daze, he suddenly knelt down and said, "One day as a teacher, a lifelong father, the student's family is poor, it is the teacher who sees that his students can still be carved, and cultivates, just like regenerating parents, students will not complain about the teacher because they are involved, you don't need to think about it, said, and glanced at Jia Erdao, who had been listening to them, "He is his own nephew, I'm afraid he won't give it up like this, he will definitely try to rescue, things have happened, and what can be done at this time is only waiting." ”

After Yang Xuezheng listened, he hid his face and cried, and said to him, "I want to know that you can win the champion, why should I bother?" Dig your own grave. It's hurt me, and it's hurt you. ”

I don't know when, there have been two black shadows standing outside the cell, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, Jia Er was sitting in the corridor, so he had already found out, but just when he was about to remind the two of them, he was made a boo gesture by one of them, and saw that the person who came was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a good jade felt hat.

Qiu Tongmian's words just now were not pretending, he was really moved, he had been in this era for half a year, and he was the teacher who got along at most, including Lin Guan's family, who had already been regarded by Qiu Tongmian as a relative of this era.

Seeing that the teacher was still remorseful, afraid that he would really be angry, he quickly got up to comfort him, but saw two uninvited guests in the corridor beside him.

The young man in the bright yellow brocade robe saw Qiu Tongmian and saw him, so he took the initiative to say, "I also know that you are implicated, but have you forgotten that in my Great Qing Dynasty, there is a suspicion in the scientific examination." ”

The three people in the cell saw that he was the current saint and quickly knelt down.

Kangxi took a few steps forward, "Xiao Jin, you get up first, and find a place to chat with me." ”

After speaking, he ordered the close guards to call someone to open the cell door and went out first.

Qiu Tongmian looked back at the teacher and Jia Er, and said to the teacher, "Teacher, don't think about it first, the student must have a way to save you out, and said to Jia Er, the emperor called me out this time, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, if you can go out, you will definitely help me take care of my teacher, if there is a mistake, I will not let you go." ”

Jia Er nodded again and again after hearing this, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I expect you to be a blessing or a curse, and you must remember to pull your brother when you go out." My uncle will estimate that he will not be able to protect himself, and the emperor heard your two words clearly just now. ”

Qiu Tongmian only reacted after hearing this, and said angrily, "You were dumb before. After speaking, he ignored his aggrieved appearance and quickly followed the footsteps of the guard.

Qiu Tongmian went out of the cell with the guards and came to the back office of Shuntian Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Kangxi training people, and there was Shuntian Mansion Yin kneeling on the ground.

"Let you investigate the case, what are you investigating, if I hadn't stood in the cell and listened to what the three of them said clearly, I'm afraid I would have handled a wrong case."

Fu Yi replied with a sad face, "Please ask the emperor to give me the sin, it is Weichen who is old and confused." ”

"This matter will not be tolerated, although you can rest assured and boldly investigate, find out anything, only report it to me alone, and there is no need to report it to the cabinet."

"Your Majesty, what if Lord Mingzhu and Lord Soltu ask me about it?"

Kangxi Dao took a step and teased, "You just said that you are old and confused, don't you know that you are confused when you should be confused?" When you shouldn't be confused, you pretend to be confused with me, what do you think of me! “

Fu Yi coughed a few more times after hearing this, "Weichen should die, Weichen understands, please wait for the good news from Weichen." ”

Kangxi saw Qiu Tongmian standing at the door, found a place to sit down, and said to Fu Yin, "You go down to do something, I'll borrow your mansion for use." ”

Seeing that Fu Yi was gone, Qiu Tongmian stepped forward and said, "The student has seen the emperor." ”

Seeing that Qiu Tongmian did not kowtow, the guards shouted, "I know that the emperor still kneels." ”

Kangxi stopped and smiled, "Tongjin, do you have any complaints about me." Pointing to the chair next to him, he said, "You sit down first and talk with me." ”

Qiu Tongmian has complaints, but he doesn't dare to say more, jokes, what era is this, feudal era.

Honestly sat down on the side and waited for the emperor to speak. Kangxi drank tea and observed Qiu Tongmian's attitude, and saw that he didn't avenge him and curry favor with him for a long time, and he was a little puzzled.

He stood up and said to the guard, "I have an early meal in the morning, and my stomach is a little hungry, you go to the opposite side to buy some rice porridge, and I will pad my stomach first!" ”

The guards looked at the emperor with some embarrassment, and then looked at Qiu Tongmian, and shouted, "Your Majesty! ”

Kangxi ignored his worries and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

At this time, at Yang Xuezheng's mansion, Ji Xiaolan, Zheng Banqiao and Xiao Jian were all sitting together.

Xiao Jian said, "The matter has been clarified, but it is because Jia Shilang, the servant of the court ministry, sought fame for his nephew, but there was fraud in collaboration with the adult teacher, and the adult was implicated, but there was no evidence that Yang Xuezheng told the exam questions, and this kind of case cannot be investigated carefully." ”

Ji Xiaolan nodded and said, "This kind of case is the most troublesome, and it has been there throughout the ages." He said to Zheng Banqiao, "You and Mr. Liu should go to Lord Soltuso, whether you can rescue people or not, at least you must know the meaning of the imperial court, Lord Suo admired Mr. Liu a lot yesterday, and he should be able to tell one or two." As long as I can know what the court means now, I will know what to do next. ”

Xiao Jian said disdainfully, "It's so troublesome, it doesn't matter if he is in the court or not, he will take thirty brothers from a certain family to rob the prison directly." ”

The other three looked at Xiao Jian speechlessly.

Shuntianfu, Kangxi shook his head with steps, dangling in front of Qiu Tongmian, waiting for him to speak first, Qiu Tongmian was overwhelmed by Kangxi, but he still got up and said, "Your Majesty, you still have something to say."

Kangxi saw that he opened his mouth first, so he took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Qiu Tongmian, "You read this letter first." ”

Qiu Tongmian took the letter and looked puzzled, but it was the evidence of the crime of Wang Rongzhi, the governor of Guiyang, who denounced Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. If everything written in the letter is true, I am afraid that Old Man Wu is really preparing to smash the pot and sell iron to rebel.

Ignoring Kangxi and waiting for him to speak, he secretly said in his heart, "Isn't it early, is it because of my own reasons, Wu Sangui at this time is afraid that he is not the opponent of the imperial court, Xu is because of his own argument of withdrawing the domain, he was appreciated by the emperor, and Wu Sangui was told by someone with a heart, you know, his son Wu Yingxiong is in the capital, it is not difficult to know the news."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Kangxi took the initiative to say, "This is to blame both you and me for being too hasty." First, the imperial court was not fully prepared, and secondly, the minds of the ministers of the court and the central government had inconsistent attitudes towards Wu Sangui. I know what these old ministers think, it's nothing more than that the world has just been peaceful, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and it is not suitable to use troops and force, and they all want to make a fortune and be promoted in peace, but if everything in Wang Rongzhi's letter is true, I am afraid that they will not be able to hide if they want to. ”

Qiu Tongmian nodded and said, "It's not just King Pingxi, but there are also other two kings, it is estimated that they all have the same mind, and I am afraid that it will affect the whole body." ”

Kangxi nodded appreciatively, "It seems that I didn't find the wrong person, except for me, there are few people in this court who see the three clans as thoroughly as you." I asked you to do one thing, that is, to go to Yungui and other places, to see with your own eyes on the spot, no matter how big or small the matter, report it to me, I will give you a hand, if you encounter difficulties, you can directly investigate and deal with it. “

As soon as Qiu Tongmian heard that he was going to Wu Sangui's territory, he thought that this was the twelfth year of Kangxi, and he was afraid that there would be a fight at the end of the year, didn't he let himself be sent to death. Crying and mourning, he said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has no soldiers or horses, and he doesn't know one person or one thing in that place, what is the difference between sending him to death, Weichen's death is small, but he can't complete the emperor's affairs, and it is related to the success or failure of the court's withdrawal." “

Kangxi didn't know what happened in history, and when he heard what Qiu Tongmian said so seriously, he said with a smile, "The righteousness of what you said is Ling Ran, but it is summed up in four words, greedy for life and afraid of death, if I still have a candidate, do you think I will let you be a person who has never been mixed in the officialdom, go." ”

Seeing that Qiu Tongmian was shaken, he continued, "Don't forget, your master is still in the prison cell, don't expect the Jia family to catch him, he is a person like him who takes the court examination as a child's play, how do you think I will deal with it?" ”

With his back on his back, Qiu Tongmian couldn't see Kangxi's expression, but he knew that what else could he do when the words were said like this, knelt down and said, "Teacher Weichen was bewitched by Liu Qi and Jia Shilang to be like this, and I hope that the emperor will treat him leniently, and Weichen will go to Yungui and other places this time to find out the truth of Wu Sangui." ”

After hearing this, Kangxi turned around with a smile and said, "Good Aiqing, I really didn't mean to threaten you just now, your master's fraud is a fact, and before I talked about it, I would have pulled it out and cut it down." When you go to Yungui this time, your identity can't be too high, too high for fear of attracting Wu Sangui's attention. After your master's fraud, you were implicated, and it is also a fact, which can just help you release the news to deceive Wu Sangui. ”

Seeing Qiu Tongmian nodded.

said in a straight voice, "Xiao Tongjin received the order, and I named you as the alternate magistrate of Guizhou Linxian Jiupin County, and you can take office, and there must be no mistakes." ”
