Chapter VII Wuchang Xing

"There is such a thing!" Hearing what his brother said, Yang Chen couldn't help but cry out, and the worries and unhappiness caused by learning that Yang Zhen went to Yao's house at night to attack him were temporarily put aside by him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he came back from Yao's house, Yang Zhen woke up his brother, who was sleeping soundly, and told him what he had heard. Yang Chen said a few words to him very complainingly at first, but then his attention was attracted by the fact that the Yao family would cheat in this township test. After being silent for a while, he said again: "No wonder, no wonder the Yao family had to do so many things before, it turns out that the root cause is here." I have always had a question, thinking that even if I won this place, it would be impossible for Yao Zhongguang's knowledge to be promoted, it turned out that they had already prepared. ”

Yang Zhen also nodded: "Yes, everything makes sense now." Fortunately, I heard the news, otherwise once they really succeeded, with the villain behavior of the Yao family, our future situation would be very bad. ”

"Yes......" Yang Chen followed with great joy, but then said, "But even if we know now, what can we do?" We are not from the government, and now we only know a little rumor, can we use this to report the Yao family? If we really do this, the Yao family's connections will be enough to make a big deal small, and if we don't tell the truth, they will bite us back......"

Yang Zhen smiled: "I don't see it that way, otherwise I wouldn't have come back empty-handed." He was telling the truth, if it weren't for the follow-up thoughts, now this situation gave him even more reason to kill, and it was impossible for him to sit back and watch the Yao family get another benefit.

"Why are you always full of fighting, killing, and killing? Dare to sneak into Yao's house late at night, if they find out, how can it be good? And it's so easy to kill someone. Seeing him say this, Yang Chen counted down with some concern: "You can't be so reckless in the future." ”

Seeing that the eldest brother began to count himself down again, Yang Zhen hurriedly changed the topic: "Big brother, don't you want to hear what I plan?" ”

"Huh? Do you really have a way to deal with this? ”

"Not bad. In fact, what you just said, big brother, is also right, if we denounce them now, it will be impossible for the government to accept it without evidence. Even if the government really accepts it, with the Yao family's status in Jiangling, it is enough to settle the matter, and when the time comes, they will have no handle, and they will inevitably deal with us. So now we must not single out this matter. ”

"Then you plan to wait for them to go to Wuchang before reporting them?" Yang Chen was not stupid, and he guessed his brother's intentions at once. Yang Zhen didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, and I plan to go to Wuchang to find out this matter, that is, when I take the township test!" ”

"You're going to Wuchang?" Yang Chen frowned slightly, then changed his mind and said, "This matter is very serious, how can you be sure that you can succeed?" ”

"Big brother, you are also a scholar, don't you know the mind of a scholar? As long as they know that there is such a possibility, naturally some people who fall off the list will jump out and make trouble. When the time comes, once the matter is found out, not to mention the Yao family, even the Zhang family, it will be difficult to deal with it. ”

After pondering for a long time, Yang Chen had to admit that what he said made some sense. And the situation has come to this point, and it seems that they have no other choice. However, he still put forward his own opinion: "It's better to go to Wuchang by my brother, after all, it's easier for me to talk to those scholars." ”

"No, big brother, you shouldn't go." Yang Zhen immediately shook his head and gave a reason: "The Yao family will inevitably pay attention to us at any time as a thief, big brother, you are too conspicuous, once you leave Jiangling, you will definitely startle the snake, this is one of them; Second, big brother, you will have to conduct scientific research in the future, if this matter is spread, what will those officials think of you in the future? As soon as this incident happens, it will inevitably be widely implicated, and it will be difficult for you to enter the company with this when the time comes. So it's better for me to go, little brother, anyway, I have never shown my face in front of people, and you can still be recuperating from my injuries. ”

"This ...... All right. Then you must be careful when you go, and don't cause any more trouble. If things are difficult, forget it. After Yang Chen thought about it, he also felt that what his brother was thinking about was very reasonable, so he had to agree, but he still couldn't help but ask.

When Yang Zhen saw that his brother agreed, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I can save it." I will definitely do this beautifully, so that people can know who dares to bully our Yang family, and there will be no good fruit to eat! ”

The two brothers then discussed again, and seeing that the sky was getting white, Yang Zhen did not delay, and was about to leave for Wuchang. Yang Chen hurriedly dissuaded: "There is still some time before the township test, and it is too early to rush at this time." And you haven't slept all night, so you should have a good rest, and it's not too late to wait two days before leaving. ”

Yang Zhen didn't see it that way, he felt that although the idea discussed by their brothers was good, they had to come up with another plan just in case, and this might be something that Wuchang would have to look up to. So he had to get there early and be prepared.

At his insistence, Yang Chen had to agree to let him go on the road as soon as possible, but he thought that the reason why he was going to wrap his clothes made Yang Zhen stay at home for an extra day.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Yang Zhen carried a package and five taels of silver and embarked on the road to Wuchang. Don't look at it as just five taels of silver for entanglement, it is already a lot of wealth in this era, and it is also all the family wealth that the Yang family has accumulated in the past few years, just because he knows that this is extremely important, Yang Chen will give everything he has. Before leaving, Yang Zhen specially told his brother to take good care of Mo'er, and at the same time greeted Ruan Tong, who came after hearing the news, and asked him to help, which was the first step to leave his hometown.

Although the original Yang Zhen had never been to Wuchang, and the current Yang Zhen had not even set foot in Jiangling County, for him, who had memories five hundred years later, it was just ordinary for him to go to Wuchang from Jiangling.

Along the way, Yang Zhen not only has a closer understanding of the good natural environment and air quality in this era, but also has a deeper grasp of the life of the people in Huguang. Compared with later generations, people at this time followed the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and before the sun set, there was no one on this official road. In order not to have any accidents, and he was not in a hurry, he also stayed overnight all the way, and finally rushed five or six hundred miles away after ten days and came to the outside of Wuchang City.

This Wuchang city has been established as early as the Three Kingdoms, after thousands of years of changes, to the Ming Hongwu Dynasty and by the time of the Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing to expand the city to more than 20 miles, become the current Huguang capital. In fact, for Yang Zhen, a person with the memories of later generations, the deepest memory of Wuchang is still the uprising, of course, this is a later story.

Standing in front of the city wall, which was more than three zhang high, wiping his hand with his hand the sweat caused by the hot weather and the hurry, Yang Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heart did not relax because he came here. Along the way, he made some deductions about this trip, but found that it was still a little difficult to reveal the fraud of the Yao family.

He is not an authoritative person, and he has no friendship with those scholars who go to the examination, how can he make the other party believe that there is such a thing? He can't just take a stranger and tell him about it, and tell the other party to go and make trouble with the government on this basis, right?

After ten days, Yang Zhen didn't come up with a proper way. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that he still thinks about this matter simply, he is not a person of this era after all, and he is inexperienced. If it is a future life, you only need to send the information you have mastered to the Internet, and then ferment it, which is enough for the Yao family to drink a pot. But since they have all come to Wuchang, there is no reason to retreat, and it is a big deal to report it to a certain yamen at the beginning of the examination to see if it can make a big deal.

Without dwelling on what to do in this matter, Yang Zhen stepped into Wuchang City. At this time, because of the proximity to the township examination, the population of the city was much larger than in the past, and it was full of scholars with square scarves on their heads and domestic slave scholars accompanying them. There are also many people with flexible minds who sold the necessary things for examinations such as the Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, as well as the template submissions for the previous imperial examinations, so that the entire Wuchang City was soaked in the smell of books and copper.

Compared with how to expose the fraud of the Yao family, the first problem that Yang Zhen needs to solve is his own accommodation problem. Because of the addition of so many foreign scholars, the inns and inns in the city were already full, and even if he was willing to spend money, he could not find a room to live in.

In desperation, Yang Zhen had to spend money to rent a house in a people's courtyard in the west of the city, which was because it was far away from the tribute courtyard in the center of the city, and no scholar preemptively booked it to give him this opportunity.

It wasn't until the next day that Yang Zhen went everywhere to look for opportunities to see if he could spread the news. But the reality disappointed him, because after a few laps, he didn't even find the opportunity to talk to these scholars.

In the next few days, the situation was also average, which made Yang Zhen feel a big headache, did he really have to go to a certain yamen to play drums on the day of the exam? Thinking so, he unconsciously came to the gathering place of the yamen in the city, and seeing that it was almost noon, he walked into a restaurant called Dengdiju, and had a meal while seeing if he could find an opportunity.

But soon, Yang Zhen was disappointed again. Although the restaurant he was looking for had a large number of scholars because of its good name, and even the two guests who shared a table with him were dressed as scholars, he still couldn't talk to these people. Of course, this is due to the fact that his attire looks like an ordinary merchant, so that the scholar has no relationship with him at all, and because he cannot get involved in the topic of these people at all.

These scholars sat in a hall and talked loudly, talking about some imperial examination facts and opinions in the book, these Yang Zhen didn't understand anything at all, but how did he get involved? Now thinking of what his brother said, Yang Zhen felt that he was right, maybe Yang Chen talked to these people at this time, and then cleverly mentioned the matter of the Yao family, it was possible to spread it.

"Looks like I'm still too self-righteous." Yang Zhen ate noodles and thought with a wry smile, I don't know what to do next. At this moment, a conversation behind him on the left caught his attention, causing him to unconsciously put down his chopsticks and listen.
