After making a bet, although Yang Hui was anxious, it was inconvenient to go to Huamigang immediately.

The palace banquet has not officially ended, at least after the imperial poems of the Jinshi and the Son of Heaven, they can not go. However, Han Gang was sitting here, and Yang Hui was not afraid of what tricks he could conjure.

The Guan Gou official of Qionglin Yuan heard the summons at this time, and Yang Hui ordered: "Go and prepare a stone lock of more than ten catties, and there is also a one-pound upper and lower weighing stone." ”

Guan Gou Lin Shenhe is forty or fifty years old, has been beaten in officialdom for decades, has a lively heart, and is even more able to be an official. Fang Cai heard about the gambling match between Yang Hui and Han Gang from his subordinates, and of course he wouldn't just wait for the order stupidly.

Lin Shenhe had no background, no background, and no talent, but he relied on the deathbed of his uncle, the only one in the family who was a state official, to make up for a junior official with no grade. After decades of hard work, he relied on grinding to get from the ninth grade, but he failed to climb a decent nobleman. Although he has the ability to move, he only got an errand to manage Qiong Lin Yuan, and he still can't get up. And there are also two Qionglinyuan from the clan who are also pressed on his head, and he does everything on weekdays, but he still has to suffer from idleness, and he has been depressed for several years.

But now that he finally had a chance, he knew it was his time to perform. Han Gang was not able to measure himself, and he had become the target of everyone, and of course Lin Shenhe would not stand on that broken boat. It must be to help Bachelor Yang and breathe a sigh of relief for him. As long as you shoot Master Yang's ass well this time, become close to him, and be a dog under his door, maybe there will be a day when he will become an official.

Lin Shenhe hung his hand, half-bent over, and his voice was extremely humble: "The people below have already been asked to prepare in front of the lower officials, so don't worry." ”

Yang Hui nodded and said yes. But after thinking about it for a while, he beckoned again, and motioned for Qionglin Yuan Guan to come closer.

Lin Shenhe hurriedly stepped forward, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and accompanied him with a smiling face: "Dare to ask what the bachelor commands?" ”

Yang Hui turned his face sideways and asked in a low voice, "Is there a black dog in the garden?" ”

"Black dogs don't have them, but they do have roosters, and there are quite a few of them." Lin Shenhe said mysteriously, "Rooster. Roosterscomb blood can also break the evil arts, and the lower officials have already asked people to prepare first.

Yang Hui looked back at this confidant Qionglin Yuan Guan Gou in surprise, and saw Lin Shenhe continue to whisper: "Xia Guan thinks that Han Jinshi is a disciple of Sun Zhenren, and he may not be able to change any spells, so he is also prepared to do so." If it is really the natural avenue as Han Jinshi said, then a little rooster blood will not have an effect. He looked left and right, and got closer, "Xiaguan also asked someone to prepare a woman's geranium here, and then smeared it with the blood of the rooster, so that no kind of evil magic can be used." ”

Yang Hui glanced deeply at the nearly fifty-year-old lowly official, and his tone was not without appreciation: "It's good to do things." ”

"Xia Guan hates people who are successful in gambling, just to gamble on the fairness of the game." Lin Shenhe said righteously and sternly, with a righteous face.

Yang Hui smiled, in the final analysis, if you can help the Hanlin Bachelor, how can you not come up with it, it's nothing. "Your name is Lin Shenhe, right? I made a note of it! ”

For this gambling match at the Qionglin banquet, every Jinshi in the hall was full of interest, and they discussed in a low voice who won and who lost between Han Gang and Yang Hui. Basically, they are on Yang Hua's side. If you think about it with your toes, you can know that the heavier things are, the heavier things will fall, and the heavier things will of course fall faster, how can they fall together. However, there are still people who think that Han Gang has one or two chances of winning, but it does not include Murong Wu.

Murong Wu, as a disciple of Zhang Zai and a friend of Han Gang, was of course the first to be consulted in the discussion of the same year. He couldn't agree with Han Gang's statement at all, which was also because he went to Beijing a month earlier than Han Gang, and he didn't listen to Han Gang's explanation of the three laws of mechanics when Han Gang went to Hengqu Town.

So when Han Gang and Yang Hui made a bet, he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do it. Now that everyone came over to ask each other, he was obviously shaking his head in his heart, but he still had to stand on Han Gang's side. When he answered, he was inevitably very reluctant, so that everyone could see it. Although his answer was all about helping Han Gang, every Jinshi who saw his expression shook their heads.

"There's no gambling anymore." Shao Gang stretched out his hand to Yu Zhong, shook his head and sighed.

Yu Zhong also sighed, the good Qionglin banquet has become a casino, as the champion, of course he will not be happy to see it. And the situation that Han Gang is facing, Yu Zhong has to stay away. He glanced at Han Gang, who was sitting alone in his place and no one dared to approach. The most famous person in this department is about to collapse today.

"It's a pity." Yu Zhong muttered in a low voice, unable to express joy or sorrow.

Lu Huiqing looked at the situation in the hall for a while, turned to Zeng and said, "It seems that the two of us are betting that Han Yukun won." ”

"That's not right, you can kill it!" Zeng Bu smiled and glanced at Yang Hui, who was whispering with the petty official who was in charge of Gou Qiong Lin Yuan, his eyes were full of contempt.

Zeng Buying was the one who believed in Han Gang the most in the palace. Although in the new party, he is the one who is most disgusted by Han Gang's style. But Han Gang's intelligence, Zeng Bu is the most recognizable. When he was able to go to Beijing for the first time, he came up with a strategist who leveraged the overall situation of the world, and it was impossible for him to make a mistake in this matter. And when arguing with Yang Hui, the topic is led by Han Gang, how can there be a situation where you create a trap by yourself and then jump into it by yourself?!

Lu Huiqing also smiled, he looked at Han Gang, whose appetite was not affected in the slightest, but frowned again. Although he bet on Han Gang to win, in Lu Huiqing's heart, he couldn't figure it out, why did Han Gang dare to say that a ten-pound iron ball would fall to the ground as fast as a one-pound iron ball.

"Could it really be two iron balls or scales and stone locks falling to the ground at the same time? Or will Han Yukun change any spells? He asked Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu shook his head: "I don't know the way, it's better to see is believing." ”

"What you see is not necessarily believing." Lu Huiqing said, "Ziyuan grabs ashes and eats, and Ziyuan is suspicious when he sees it." How can we do the wrong things that the first saints have made mistakes, how can we be ordinary people like us? ”

Ziyuan is Yan Hui. Confucius led his disciples to travel around the world, but they were trapped in the land of Chen and Cai, and their food was exhausted. Yan Hui went out to find some rice and came back, and when cooking, there was dust on the beams of the house and fell into the pot, Yan Hui fished out a little bit of rice that was stained with ashes and ate it, but Confucius saw it, so he was mistaken for the first teacher and ate it secretly, which was rude. It wasn't until Yan Hui explained it clearly that Confucius sighed for this: "Those who believe are also believable, but their eyes are still not credible." I thought that seeing was believing, but who knew that what I actually saw might not be credible.

Zeng Bu recited the words that followed by Confucius, "'The heart of the person who is relied on is also the heart, but the heart is still not enough.'" This is in line with today's events. Han Yukun said that Yang Hui is conjecturing, and he may not be reliable in the end. ”

"'It's hard to know people.'" Lu Huiqing recited the last sentence of Confucius's words, and sneered: "The first sage does not know Ziyuan. I'm afraid that Wang Xianggong didn't expect his son-in-law to have this hand, right? ”

"But Han Yukun should have calculated everything." Zeng Bu's voice suddenly became gloomy and cold, "...... Think about it, if this fish hook hadn't been bitten by Yang Element today, who do you say Han Yukun was going to fish? ”

Lu Huiqing was stunned when she heard this, but after thinking about it, her face changed. With Han Gang's step-by-step character, since he recommended Zhang Zai in front of the Son of Heaven, he must rely on it. Just looking at his speech and demeanor today, you know that Lu Dao must have been prepared. Yang Yi was just unlucky and wanted to perform on Han Gang, but he was used by Han Gang in turn. But Yang Hui was just an accident sent to the door, and with Han Gang's person, he must have found a victim before.

is only in the planning stage of the Economic and Righteous Bureau, and now there are only two people who have confirmed the position.

"I really want to thank Lu Xie Yang element." Lu Huiqing said quietly.

"Hmm." Zeng Bu said more bluntly, "Yang Element did help you prevent the disaster. As for Wang Yuanze, Han Gang's brother-in-law will not get along with him. ”

After the three rounds of drinking, the Jinshi wrote a harmony poem for the imperial poem of the Son of Heaven. There are more than 400 articles and seven laws, and there is nothing outstanding, and Han Gang's one can still make a living. But in Yang Hui's eyes, he must not look down on it, if there is no gambling game, he should put on the posture of a senior in the literary world, and take Han Gang's face well, so that he can be regarded as having an explanation with the two in the north. But now, there is no need to bother with this.

Yang Hui got up, said a few words, and took the lead, walking towards Huamigang majestically and high-spiritedly, followed by Han Gang. The hundreds of people who had been waiting for this show for a long time also poured out and followed them to the high hill in the southeast corner of Qionglin Garden.

Huamigang is about ten zhang high, and it is one of several high slopes built up with soil and stone after digging the Jinming Pond in Qionglin Garden. Under the steep cliff on the north side of the Kamioka Okama, there is a clear pond. The lake is not large, much smaller than the Jinming Pond on the left. But it was right on the hill, directly below the verandah that the tall building extended. Standing on the verandah, Han Gang held on to the railing and looked down. The sparkling water of the pool was estimated to be fifty meters away from him.

There weren't many people who went up to the high platform, and most of the jinshi were waiting by the pool. There is also a group of people on the second floor and the ground floor. And those who can stand on the verandah on the third floor are basically the court officials who participated in the banquet, as well as the champions and role models of the Jinke - the officialdom is highly hierarchical, and it is very clear at all times.

Except for a few small officials, the only lowly official on the platform is Qionglin Yuanguan Goulin Shenhe. He prepared experimental items for the game: "...... Stone locks don't. This piece is a door-to-door stone, which weighs about 30 catties. And this weighing stone is exactly one catty, which is used in the kitchen. ”

"Yukun, is it okay?" Yang Hui asked Han Gang, his eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth turned up, which were full of pride.

Han Gang looked at the two test items on the ground, pushed them with his foot, felt the weight, and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded. It's just a little strange in his heart, when he kicked two things for something, Qionglin Yuan Guan Gou had a worried look.

But that's all for nowhere. Under Lin Shenhe's assignment, one of the two officials picked up the door stone, and the other picked up the scale. The upstairs and downstairs suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on their hands. But at this moment, a loud shout came from afar.

"Wait a minute!"

A galloping horse, from the gate of Qionglin Garden, went straight to Huamigang, looking at the rider's clothes, it turned out to be a eunuch. When he got to the bottom of the stairs, the chamberlain dismounted and ran up the stairs. Gasp. Han Gang looked over and turned out to be Tong Guan.

Tong Guan took two breaths and said loudly to the surprised officials: "The imperial car is here in a blink of an eye, the Son of Heaven has an edict, and this matter will stop for a while." ”

When I heard the rumors, there was an uproar, and the Son of Heaven was coming!
