Chapter 120: The Turmoil in Front of the Tribute Courtyard (2-in-1)

That night, Mo Wenxuan and the others finally agreed on something, except for the nine people present, the others didn't know at all.

On the side of the Gongyuan, after a day of fierce competition, in the end, the highly skilled forbidden army defeated the servant team.

In the end, the Servants were not able to emerge victorious.

The next day, a group of officials personally cooked, almost ordered the kitchen, fortunately there are several elderly masters, who also cooked when they were young, although the craftsmanship is a lot unfamiliar, but it can be regarded as a whole two tables of dishes, as for the group of almost ordered a table of dark dishes made by the kitchen master, after there are forbidden soldiers who are not afraid of yes to test the poison, no one dares to touch it again. Because the martyr who tested the poison was almost not in the hut.

But overall, is it a perfect ending?

But how could it be!

In the end, Mu Tong personally presided over the bonfire meeting, and a group of people only went to rest when they had played. Except that they couldn't drink, everyone had a night of partying.

It's just that this group of complacent officials don't know that there is a shady scene in the so-called champions. The forbidden army is not the opponent of the servant team at all, but Mo Qing has long bought the servant team with money according to Mu Tong's orders.

After all, although these officials said that they were willing to gamble and lose, they really put down their bodies to cook for a group of servants? Hehe, they dare to be your servants and dare to eat? Not afraid of being settled when the time comes?

It's different if you change to the forbidden army, so you can serve in the same dynasty. It's a big deal to say that the guards of the forbidden army have worked hard, and they will personally cook vegetables to reward them.

And for the servants, it is better to take the risk of being counted and eat a meal cooked by the big lord, it is better to take the silver taels.

Coupled with the three times the monthly service after the end of the scientific expedition, this month is scheduled for them to work for a year. After all, Mo Qing gave each servant fifty taels of hush money. As for why it's fifty taels? Because the smallest silver ticket is fifty taels!

In this way, this group of guys who have been trapped in the Gongyuan for almost a month can be regarded as having vented their excess experience.

At three o'clock the next day, in the eyes of a group of candidates looking through the autumn water, the gate of the Gongyuan finally opened and began to receive the candidates.

As early as a few days ago, the candidates who were familiar with the notice of the post outside the Gongyuan found their own examination room according to the order of the examination posted. This is different from previous exams, and the examination area is deliberately divided.

Just as the candidates were lining up in an orderly manner to find a seat, Mu Tong appeared in the quiet room next to the examination room with Mo Qing.

This can be said to be the place where the invigilators rest, and everyone will have to spend the next few days in the examination room, eating, drinking, and Lazar in the examination room.

"Lord Shaojun, you are here. ”

When a group of officials saw Mu Tong coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you not arrived yet?"

"The adults don't know that this scientific examination lasts for three days, and the two adults are old, and they only need to appear on the third day for the first marking. If Lord Shaojun hadn't been to make a big decision on the spot, he wouldn't have used it. Even if you have a strategy, you can actually write a post and ask someone to send it to you. ”

After a month of getting along, this group of officials had long been convinced by this young monarch examiner. Not for anything else, just because people have money!

The wealthy Shaojun not only gave them food, but even the tea they drank was a high-quality tea sponsored by the Mujia Chamber of Commerce, and many officials could not afford to drink it.

is the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, not to mention that the young gentleman also gave a lot of gifts.

Although it has cut off a financial way for everyone to give candidates the opportunity to buy "Mobao", the value of the things given by others is not low, although they are not blatantly stuffed with money, but three times the amount of money is actually a lot, isn't it? Not to mention the luxury goods such as tea that people promise to send to various houses.

"I see, since that's the case. I'm tired of you here, Ben Shaojun first went to the door to see the situation of the candidates, hoping that there would be no chaos. After all, in this exam, the official still willfully changed a lot of rules. ”

Of course, the officials present will not have an opinion on the laziness of the examiner, after all, having more of him will make their subordinates uncomfortable.

When he came to the main gate, Mu Tongren heard a quarrel before he arrived.

When he looked at the forbidden army blocking the line of sight in front of him, it turned out to be a well-earned candidate who carried a large number of exquisite pastries, and actually brought a pot of fine wine and high-quality pear blossom white flower carvings.

The reason for the quarrel was also simple, that is, the inspection officials did not let him bring these things in, and it was also stated that the Gongyuan was responsible for the food of the candidates in the examination room. All they had to do was bring a change of clothes.

But this one refused, and moved out of his family background to oppress the official in charge of inspection.

But this official is in the tribute courtyard for nothing this month?

Who hasn't been touched by Mu Tong's arbitrary and domineering habits, anyway, the rules are the rules, and you just do it. There was no resistance.

"What are you doing? What kind of system do you become, don't you know how to affect the entry of the people behind you? Aren't you just going to bring food? Give him back what he has. ”

Mu Tong stood in front of everyone in an official uniform, pointed at the official who inspected the exam with a black face and scolded, and then snatched the basket of the examinee in his hand and returned it to the examinee. With a smile on his face, he said to the candidate, "Come, this son, please take your things." Take it and go. ”

As soon as this candidate saw Mu Tong so polite, he was terrified at that time. Although Mu Tong's official uniform and age surprised him a little, he didn't care so much, and he knew that he was crooked. As a result, the thing, with his head held high, strode open and wanted to enter the door of the tribute courtyard.

Mu Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked strangely: "Hey, this son, where are you going?"

"Of course, this son has entered the examination room. ”

"Did you misunderstand this son? This official asked you to take your things well, where to go back and forth! That is, one word: Get out!"

In the end, Mu Tong directly took advantage of the candidate's inattention and pushed him down the steps of the Tribute Academy, which immediately turned him into a rolling gourd. The wine and pastries in his basket were broken.

This scene stunned the candidates in the queue behind.

"You...... How do you hit someone!"

The candidate who was pushed was still lying on the ground, and some of the candidates in the queue jumped out unevenly, pointing at Mu Tong and questioning him.

Mu Tong brushed the crumpled official uniform on his body, walked out of the gate of the Tribute Academy, stood on the steps, looked at the candidates with different expressions below, and then turned to the candidate who was holding unevenly, and asked coldly, "Are you not convinced?"

The candidate may think that this is a good opportunity to show off, and it is the time for him to show his courage and strength, so he responded with an arrogant face.

"My generation of scholars, who have been educated by the saints, should fight injustice, and when they see injustice, they should lend a helping hand. ”

"Good!"

"Well said!"

A few guys who couldn't see the situation clearly hurriedly cheered.

Mu Tong had a dark face, and pointed to the registration officials beside him, pointing to those who were coaxing and those who were fighting unevenly: "Come on, come on, give these officials a few blows, cancel these people's qualifications for this scientific examination, and refuse to enter." It's all clear to the official. Come on, blow away all these troublemakers to the official. By the way, the one lying on the ground was pretended to be dead, and you were also disqualified. If I break your things, I will pay you the twenty taels of silver. ”

Mu Tong stretched out his hand towards Mo Qing, who stretched out his hand, Mo Qing directly took out a silver ingot of twenty taels from the money bag and handed it over, this weight is not light, Mu Tong smashed directly next to the head of the guy who pretended to be dead, and a muffled sound of "bang" finally startled him and stopped pretending to be dead.

"You...... Do you know who this son is, and he dares to do this to me, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to protect you?"

The examinee who pretended to be dead refused to leave like this, pointing at Mu Tong and questioning.

"This official is the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and Mu Tong Mu Shaojun is appointed by His Majesty and has full authority to take charge of the scientific examination. Since you are not convinced, then let your family come to me. But now, the official thinks that you don't have a chance to go back to your family, so let's wait for your family to come to you. ”

"Come on, take this person down! This person maliciously disrupts the order of the scientific examination, affects the admission of the scientific examination candidates, takes him down, and sends him to the Wangcheng Mansion, so that the new Fu Yin will remember to this official, without the order of this official and His Majesty's imperial decree, if you dare to release this person, this official will cut off his head with a sword!"

"Yes!"

In order to prevent him from yelling, one of the forbidden soldiers also stuffed his own sweat towel into the guy's mouth, and directly stunned him.

Mu Tong looked at the few coaxing and hugging people who were already frightened, and asked in a cold tone: "You don't want to leave yet, do you want to be with him?"

Facing Mu Tong, who was covered with frost, the one who was uneven was still unconvinced, and hit it loudly.

"Why are you depriving us of our qualifications! You are abusing your power!"

"Oh, you also think the official is abusing his power?"

Mu Tong looked around at the candidates in line, and saw that there were indeed some people in the crowd who nodded uncomfortably.

Mu Tong laughed out loud.

"Okay! This official will convince you! This candidate who likes to fight unevenly, this official asks you what your surname is. Don't worry, this official is not looking for you to settle the score, if everyone thinks that it is wrong for this official to punish the candidate just now, this official will not only restore your examination qualifications, but also invite that person back to apologize. But if the candidates think that the official is doing the right thing, then I'm sorry, please come back in three years, is it feasible?"

Then the candidates think about it, they have been deprived of the qualification for the exam, they have won, the quota has been restored, and there is nothing to lose if they lose.

"Okay! I, Liu Zhongren, bet with you!"

"Good!

"Whip the horse!"

Mu Tong immediately walked down the steps and came to this Liu Zhongren.

"Liu Zhongren, this official asked you, have you seen the notice of exam instructions posted by the Gongyuan three days ago!"

Liu Zhongren didn't think much about it, and immediately returned: "Naturally, I saw it." ”

"Okay! Eliminate the official's lips and tongues. The official asks you again, does the notice say that during the three days of the exam, the food will be provided by the Gongyuan, and the candidates do not need to bring their own food?"

"This ...... Naturally, there is. ”

Liu Zhongren was a little hesitant at this time, he had a bad premonition.

"Okay! Since you candidates all know that there is such an exam need, why does that person bring his own wine and food! This prosecutor was still pestering when he found out that it was going to be confiscated, and I asked you, should you do this!"

"No...... It shouldn't!"

"Very well, since you know you shouldn't. That official has punished him wrong! Since he knows that this is not allowed, he still has to carry it, that is, he despises the examination room and despises my Mohai law! He is still pestering afterwards, you can see for yourself. Just because he and you came out to make trouble, you need to know what time it is! An hour of entry time was consumed by the two of you for more than two quarters, and now the inspection and admission are suspended. When the time comes to enter the venue like this, how many candidates will not be able to enter the venue because of the delay in time! Is this responsibility to be borne by that person and you? Now, do you think the official is wrong to punish you?"

Mu Tong pointed at Liu Zhongren's nose and questioned him with an unkind look. Then he looked around at the crowd of onlookers.

"Do you think it's wrong for this official to punish the person who knowingly delayed your time?"

The candidates who looked at Mu Tong's questioning eyes lowered their heads in shame, not daring to say more.

And Liu Zhongren was sweating like rain, and he realized that he was very wrong.

"Humph! All day long you use the teachings of the saints as the basis for your showmanship. The official sees that you should be sober, and the teachings of the saints are put in your heart and practiced by yourself, not just on your lips, but all on what you say! Now, you and these guys are together, let the official go! Don't delay the people behind you to enter the field. If you make trouble again, be careful that this official directly deprives you of the qualification for the scientific examination in this life!"

Liu Zhongren turned around and left in despair, how dare those who were coaxing to stay, and hurriedly slipped away. After all, if you don't take the test this year, there will be the next year. Unlike Liu Zhongren, who was banned from the exam for three years.

This matter came to an end, and the order of the inspection of the entrance was finally restored again, and the inspection of the entrance began.

In order to make up for the lost time, two additional officials were temporarily sent to carry out the inspection and registration.

However, it was only a stick of incense that happened again.

"Wait, you can't go in. You have been deprived of the examination qualifications, and you will not be able to participate in the scientific examination for the rest of your life!"

"What! You're mistaken! You can't do that! I'm not messing around!"

A candidate who was denied entry began to make a big fuss because he was actually banned from the exam for life!

"Hmph! I want to know why! Okay!

Zhang Cong was transferred by Mu Tong just now to take charge of the main entrance, just to prevent the recurrence of trouble.

"Zhang Shaohui, who participated in the case of stealing scientific research secrets a month ago, was not convicted due to insufficient evidence. However, the siege of the bishop's mansion was true, and he incited the masses for unknown reasons to besiege the Shaojun's mansion. The character is bad, and it is based on the imperial court record that it will never be hired. Since you have never been hired, the examiner will give you one more article, and you will never be allowed to take the test!"

Zhang Cong took the notebook in his hand that was stuffed by Mo Qing after getting up this morning, which recorded the list of all the main culprits and accomplices in the commotion a month ago and the results of their handling.

Therefore, when Zhang Cong heard his name, he naturally wouldn't let him refer to it.

"Whoa!"

Hearing that this person was actually involved in the case of stealing the secrets of the scientific examination, the high school candidates were in an uproar.

"Someone, get this person out!"

Zhang Cong didn't look at Zhang Shaohui, who was taken away, but looked at the crowd with a wicked smile, and shouted loudly: "This commander advises those who participated in the case of a month ago in the team, don't be lucky, this official has a list of all of you here." It's too late for you to go. Otherwise, if you are found out by this official, your reputation will be ruined, and even if you want to be Mr. Xixi at that time, you will be treated as one! There are other people who do not prepare according to the exam notice, and it is still too late to hurry up and prepare. Otherwise, one will be caught and one will be forbidden!"

Zhang Cong's voice went all the way, and the long queue of "whoops" was directly reduced by one-third, and all of them slipped away.

Zhang Cong couldn't imagine that his words were so powerful, and he was directly stunned!
