Next, the four rich children were arrested in a daze, and Wang Xu and the others, without any problems, returned to the previous room.

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhao Yan came to the middle of the room and knelt down towards Wang Xu and the others, his gratitude beyond words. If it weren't for these people, she wouldn't be what she would be now.

If an unmarried woman is insulted like this, there is no way out except death.

"Sister, hurry up, it's all a gesture." Ye Minyan strode up and helped her up.

"Thank you, thank you."

.........

Wang Xu said: "Don't thank you, let's talk about it, who are those people just now?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan said: "I don't know, I'm the one who cooks wine in this Four Seas Restaurant..." ”

........

Everyone talked and didn't ask anything, Wang Xu also lost interest, anyway, it was just a few rich children, just leave it to Shuntianfu to handle, there is no need for him to take action in person.

At midnight, Wang Xu and his entourage left here and returned to the palace, while Zhao Yan continued to stay in the restaurant, but Wang Xu instructed Jinyiwei to take care of Zhao Yan and not let this happen again tonight.

Before leaving, Wen Mengliang quietly gave Zhao Yan fifty taels of silver, but Zhao Yan didn't ask for it, this detail was seen by Wang Xu, and he immediately had a good impression of this woman.

It is really not easy for a woman who lives in a restaurant to sell wine to have such a character, and many people can't do it in their lives if they are not moved by money.

For example, Wen Qing, he is still a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, according to it, he is not as good as this Zhao Yan.

.........

In a mansion next to the scientific research institute, Jia Hui came here in the middle of the night, his whereabouts were secretive, and he complained about it.

This mansion is the residence of Liu Lin, the official of the scientific expedition.

Coincidentally, this Liu Lin was a jinshi who went to the imperial court with Jia Hui back then. After that, Jia Hui took refuge with Wang Xu, and he continued to be loyal to the imperial court until later, when Wang Xu captured the imperial capital. After Jia Hui's recommendation, Liu Lin stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion and was named Wenyuan Pavilion Walking, and now, he is the responsible officer for scientific research. The official positions of Ling Yuan and the others are the same, so the top person in charge of the scientific examination a few days later, except for Jia Hui and Wen Qing, are these three examiners.

When he came to the house, Liu Lin hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Jia came to visit late at night, I don't know what happened?"

Liu Lin called for someone to serve tea and said with a smile.

Jia Hui got up and bowed deeply to Liu Lin: "Brother Liu, please accept my worship." ”

"It's... Brother Jia, what are you doing here? ”

Jia Hui sat down slowly. said: "Actually, you and I both know it, Brother Liu, money is a thing that you don't bring in life or death." ”

"We are all people who are about to be in the age of sixties, you have been self-disciplined all your life, why can't you keep the festival when you come, why bother?"

Liu Lin's face was a little ugly: "Lord Jia, what you said seems to be that I have a loss in the festival." ”

Jia Hui smiled: "I don't know you yet, your family is poor." It's another Qing official, what were you like in the past, you are looking at your present, the car you are in. So many houses you live in, the clothes you wear. ”

"Jia Hui, I can't help but be moved by the idea of a villain."

Liu Lin's face became even more ugly, Jia Hui was right, all of this was purchased during this time, as for the money. Naturally, it all came from those candidates.

In the face of so much money, even if Liu Lin was poor all his life, he could not resist.

"Actually, these are my mother-in-law's." Liu Lindao.

Jia Hui said: "Brother Liu, do you really not know about me? You receive bribes from candidates, 100,000 taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, or even millions of taels of silver. ”

"Brother Liu, have you thought about it, you have received this silver, those who really work hard to study, those who are really talented and learned, and those who can really be used for the country's social welfare can't be promoted, can you spend this silver?"

Liu Lin got up suddenly: "You... Who are you listening to? ”

"You want to ask me how I know, don't you?" Jia Hui said: "People can deceive people, but they can't deceive the sky!" Brother Liu, listen to my advice, it's still too late to rein in the precipice. ”

Liu Lin stammered for a while and said, "Hey... You, there are a lot of things you don't know... ”

Jia Hui waved his hand: "Brother Liu, can I not understand you." When we were studying at the college together, you said to me, 'My family is poor, and when I succeed in my studies, my greatest wish is to help those poor people study.' ”

"I've been doing this all these years." Liu Lindao.

Jia Hui said: "But now you have deprived them of the opportunity to improve, haven't you done it in vain all these years?" ”

"This time, the emperor attaches great importance to this scientific expedition and sent me to be the supervising envoy, and you are doing this now, which is tantamount to taking a chestnut in the fire! You end up with nothing, and you'll be.... ”

Liu Lin took the case: "Jia Hui, what do you mean by you." ”

"I don't mean anything else, I just thought, you take what you know, write a playbook with me, play the emperor, and clean up the scientific examination site before the exam."

Jia Hui also stood up: "How is it?" In this way, you can also make meritorious contributions. ”

"Jia Hui, don't push people too much! Don't listen to those rumors, this year's scientific expedition has absolutely no malpractice. ”

Liu Lin shouted.

"Jia Hui, don't pretend to be garlic with me, that's right, we used to be friends, but now that you force me so much, I won't save you any face."

"If you are so unreasonable again, I will play the Holy Shrine and punish you for the crime of framing the minister!"

........

Jia Hui smiled bitterly twice: "Liu Lin, Liu Lin, what do you want me to say about you, do you know, you are in the sea of suffering now, I want to pass you over now, but what about you, you just don't get on this boat." ”

"Okay, the Buddha has the heart to save people, and people have no intention of getting out."

Liu Lin said with a smile: "Jia Hui, you compare yourself to a Buddha, let me tell you, I'm a person, it's a Buddha who doesn't offer to the Buddha, you give me a go, go far, if you don't leave, I won't save face for you." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Jia Hui arched his hand: "Please remember what I said to you today, you will regret it!" ”

Jia Hui left.

Liu Lin snorted disdainfully.

.............

A few days later, the scientific research institute.

Today is the first day of the expedition.

The scientific expedition officially began.

Early in the morning, Wen Qing, Ling Yuan, Liu Lin and other examiners came to the scene of the scientific examination institute, and Shuntianfu also gave Wen Qing 500 soldiers as a way to maintain order in the examination room.

At the gate, two teams of candidates lined up, waiting to enter the examination room, and each candidate carried a basket in his hand, which contained pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.

At the gate, more than a dozen soldiers from Shuntianfu were standing, Wen Qing stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, looking at the time, waiting for noon, as long as it was noon, the exam would start. (To be continued.) )
