Just when the court was in turmoil and there was an endless debate over the case of Lu Gui's treason.

Mu Tong has already taken Mo Qing to settle in the Tribute Academy.

And the two deputy examiners who are his deputies are also two well-known Qingliu Hongru, who are idle.

It was specially selected by the Holy Mo Wenxuan to "assist" Mu Tong.

In fact, these two are the real examiners, and Mu Tong, Mu Shaojun, is just used to attract firepower.

It's a pity, after thousands of calculations, Mo Wenxuan miscalculated this Mu Shaojun's mind and added such a big dragon and phoenix.

"Xiao Qingzi, are you all packed, if you pack it up, you can visit the two elders with me, after all, they are seniors, don't be rude. ”

Looking at the almost cleaned room, Mu Tong began to beckon Mo Qing to go out.

"Young master, you are so big-hearted that you still want to visit others?"

Mu Tong was stunned for a moment, took back the leg that was about to step out of the door, and looked at the kid in front of him speechlessly.

"I said Xiaoqingzi, can you not worry about the sky. ”

Of course, Mu Tong knew what Mo Qing was worried about. After all, today's method of planting false accusations is indeed not clever. But does he care?

If he wants to kill his Mu family, he will let the other party's family be ruined first.

This is a life-and-death war, not a war of words, and there is no room for mercy.

"Young Master!" Mo Qing looked at him with a bitter face, and said sadly: "You are not worried at all? After all, you really framed that Lu Gui." ”

Mu Tong's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly coughed loudly to cover Mo Qing's voice: "Ahem! Say anything. ”

"Don't worry, young master, there is no third person within a radius of fifty meters. ”

Hearing Mo Qing say this, Mu Tong pretended to exhale relaxedly, and then he trained him.

"You said you, scared about something. The envelope is real, right?"

"Well, it was taken from Lu Gui's servant. ”

"Is the content of the letter true?"

"Well, it's true, I didn't expect that there was such a spy hiding in the crowd, but this guy has a big heart, and he still has the heart to watch the excitement with such an important letter. ”

Hearing Mo Qing's emotion, Mu Tong jumped up unceremoniously, raised his slap and gave Mo Qing a hard time.

"Your grandmother's leg, then you're still worried about a ball. The letter is real, the envelope is true. I don't care if Lu Gui is really guilty, anyway, I only said that the letter was taken out of Lu Gui's envelope, and I didn't say that the letter was written by Lu Gui. Anyway, if we can't find it out in the end, it's none of our business. This kind of secret, do you think we people who have just arrived in the royal capital can get it?"

"It's not the young master, is this the point?"

Mu Tong looked at Mo Qing with an idiot on his face, and pressed his shoulder regretfully and said, "Alas, it seems that you have really become stupid recently." As long as the letter is true and the content of the letter is true, it doesn't matter who the owner of the letter is, what matters is His Majesty's attitude. Got it?"

Mo Qing was stunned by Mu Tong's words, and finally reacted, directly slapped the young master's hand away, and then walked around Mu Tong strangely twice, almost turning Mu Tong into a daze, and then suddenly screamed.

"Oh my God, young master, you've changed. I said something was wrong today. What about your gentleness, your indifference, your coldness, your madness? ”

Mu Tong rolled his eyes, grabbed Mo Qing's ear speechlessly and rotated it 180 degrees directly, "Can you be quieter?" Do you want to persuade the people of the Gongyuan to know my secret, young master?"

"Secret?"

Mo Qing was curious, and then waited expectantly for Mu Tong to reveal his secret.

Looking at Mo Qing's appearance, Mu Tong, who had already figured it out, couldn't help but sell Guan Zi, looked cautious, covered his mouth with his left hand, leaned over to Mo Qing's ear, and whispered to him.

"Xiao Qingzi, let me tell you secretly, don't be surprised, and don't scream. ”

Hearing this, Mo Qing directly nodded his head into a chicken pecking rice, looking like he was listening.

"My secret is ......"

"That's it! You're dying!"

"My secret is...... It's a secret. ”

"Bang!"

Mo Qing was so angry that she fell to the ground, sat on the ground and looked up at Mu Tong resentfully, with an expression that if you play with me again, I will cry to you.

Mu Tong, who regained the joy of childhood, snickered successfully in his prank, and finally satisfied Mo Qing's curiosity and told him.

After all, this can't be hidden. (The author has decided not to make a fuss, lest the reader say that the protagonist is neurotic and his personality is always changing.) ）

"Okay, no more fuss. I'll tell you, my personality used to be pretending and pretending. ”

"Pretended?"

Mo Qing was dumbfounded, his young master's temperament was pretending, he was the person next to him, how could he pretend to be so similar!

"Growing up pretending?"

"Most of them are pretended. ”

"Suave and elegant?"

"Pretending, in order to anger Lu Gongwang, didn't he say that the young master, I am not educated, and rotten wood cannot be carved. I'll just pretend to be a handsome boy and show him. ”

"That willow branch girl is sad and has a cold personality and is also pretending?"

"Loaded. The eyeliner of the City Lord's Mansion was deceitful. You also know that I was injured by the City Lord's Mansion, and then I changed so badly, my personality did not become extreme, how could I deceive Mo Qingyan's old fox. ”

"In other words, young master, you are not sad, wasting my thoughts in the past few months, Xiao Qingzi, but I have spent a lot of thought in order to make you happy, young master. ”

"It's sad, but it's not that much. Young master, I am not a black and white person. It's just that my Mu family is too busy to take care of itself, why drag other girls into the water? If my Mu family is not in danger, young master, I may have already courted Miss Liu. After all, young master, I am considered to have ruined the innocence of others. ”

Seeing Mu Tong's sentimental and self-reproachful face, Mo Qing opened his mouth exaggeratedly like a yawning toad, and shouted: "Young master, you actually wiped off Miss Liu's food, don't you ......?"

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mu Tong directly pounced on him to cover his big mouth, and then glared at him viciously.

"Young master, I just helped her heal, accidentally touched it a few times, what nonsense are you talking about!

"Mmmmmm

Mo Qing struggled to break Mu Tong's hand covering his mouth, panting loudly.

"Young master, even if I say the wrong thing, you don't have to kill me. You even covered my nose. ”

Mu Tong smiled, then glared at him again.

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, there are still questions, no problem, no problem, come with me to meet the two deputy examiners. ”

"No, young master, you're going to fool me with a word?"

"What else do you want?"

"You haven't said why you're pretending! Since you've been pretending to be for more than ten years, why don't you suddenly pretend again?"

Mu Tong looked back at Mo Qing who was chattering behind him, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he asked him with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to know why I'm pretending to be a young master for more than ten years?"

"Young master, are you willing to say?"

"I want to know~ Ask Granny Gu to go! Anyway, I did what she ordered. As for why you don't pretend......"

Speaking of this, Mu Tong stood at the door of the room, turned his back to Mo Qing, and said a word in a cold tone.

"Young master, I found out that when people want to destroy you, they will destroy your nine clans in trivial matters. It will not be swayed by how kind and harmless you pretend to be. So young master, I pretended to be tired, and I pretended to understand. People live as they please. As long as the means are hard enough, let him have a sea of blood! They want to destroy my Mu family, I will laugh and destroy their entire clan! He wants to bully my Mu Tong, so why not let me cry and send them to be buried! This is called "I'd rather bear the people of the world, and Hugh let the people of the world bear me!"

Mo Qing looked at the much taller figure standing at the door, and then cautiously reminded Mu Tongdao. "Young master, didn't you tell me at the beginning that what you meant by this was that you would rather bear the fate and responsibility of the people of the world than let the people of the world bear your own fate and responsibility? Why, now you talk like you're going to be a negative person. Also, young master, you are careful to fall on the threshold. And the old people all say that the children who step on the threshold don't grow tall, so young master, you better come down quickly. (My personal opinion on Cao's words in the romance is different from the interpretation of the original author who stands on the position of the Han family, if you feel that the author is crooked, please read the official history yourself.) Well, canonical history, canonical history, canonical history. It's not romance, it's important things to say three times. )

“......”

Mu Tong's cold momentum that he finally pretended to be all made Mo Qing's words useless.

"If you can't speak, don't speak, go. The ink is endless. I remember that people are still the same as before. ”

True to his word, this Mu Jiada, who has deceived everyone who knows him for more than ten years, continued to act as his indifferent young gentleman as soon as he left the room.

"Young master, you haven't said why you don't act again. ”

"Isn't this young master just acting? ”

"No, I mean, why don't you act in front of me. You big liar. Deceived me for years. ”

"What is acting, is it useful? That witch water boss, if you want to go with us, you can go together, can we resist? That Mo Qingyan said that he would do it, young master, I can resist it? If you talk too much, isn't it who has the final say if you have a hard fist. Then what am I going to play, young master? Anyway, now that the young master is better than them, let's act as they want. As for in front of his own people, he is tired of acting too much. Not acting. ”

"Oh......"

Under the sunset, the figures of the master and servant pulled the old elders, although the people were two, the shadows were one shadow. The older shadow hides the younger one, not distinguishing from each other.

I met two old Confucian students.

One is the secretary of the Taishu Pavilion, presiding over the idle post of revising the classics, Liu Xun, who is over sixty years old, and the other is the third princess who is over half a hundred years old.

Fortunately, Mohaiguo doesn't want to be an official in ancient China, and the horse can't be an official.

This horse's surname was Zeng Mingxian, and he was a clerk of the household department. Don't underestimate this document, the accounts of the household department basically pass through his hands. Mo Wenxuan's deep love, and he does not form a party for personal gain, so Mo Wenxuan sent him to supervise the finances for himself, planning to wait for a son-in-law to mix up more merits, and replace the current household department Shangshu, soaring into the sky.

It stands to reason that with the help of Mo Wenxuan, it is a trivial matter to be promoted to become rich, as long as he is diligent and diligent, it is enough to be a prime minister in twenty years.

But this wife, that is, the third princess, is a lover. has been married to Zeng Xian for many years, and she is still in love, and she is reluctant to let her horse work hard, so she specially begged her father Mo Wenxuan to get Zeng Xian an idle job. This Zeng Xian is also strange, he listens to his wife for everything, and he has no ambitions for others, he doesn't care about the size of his official position at all, anyway, what the third princess says.

So he worked as a household clerk for more than ten years. Several times Mo Wenxuan hinted that he wanted to promote him, but he refused.

Reason - you can get off duty early to accompany your daughter-in-law if you are free.

Therefore, after learning about this person's background, Mu Tong had to focus on understanding this horse master.

It is even more the master to hold a banquet in the tribute courtyard tonight to entertain the large and small people in the tribute courtyard. From officials to miscellaneous workers, except for the two guards standing guard at the gate who have not yet reached the time for the change of guard, it can be said that the people of the Gongyuan are here tonight.

Looking at the people in the field, Mu Tong, who was sitting at the main table, stood up, picked up his wine glass, and opened his mouth to the people of the Tribute Courtyard who were watching him all around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether you are officials or servants here, today Mu Tong thanked you for your face appreciation and participation in today's dinner. For this reason, Mu Tong, I will first toast everyone. ”

In the polite voice of everyone, Mu Tong drank a full cup of respect.

Mo Qing, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly filled the wine for him.

Mu Tong picked up the cup again and saluted the two deputy examiners Liu Xun and Zeng Xian beside him: "The kid has no form, he is a virtuous young man, but he was graced by His Majesty and entrusted him with the position of chief examiner, but he let the two elders succumb to the boy, and the kid was frightened and wronged the two adults." Boy, do it first for respect!"

Under the persuasion of the two elders, Mu Tong drank a full cup again.

Speaking of the third glass of wine, Mu Tong looked at the audience, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the third cup, respectfully. I hope that during the imperial examination, we will work together to do a good job in this scientific examination and select talents for the country, so that nothing will go wrong. ”

Putting down the wine glass, Mu Tong began to get down to business.

I saw that his official authority was released, he looked around, and said sharply: "Compared with what happened in the Wangcheng Mansion today, everyone has heard of it. Someone stole the secrets that Ben Shaojun had prepared for the scientific expedition. Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Ben Shaojun decided. From tomorrow, the Gongyuan will be completely blocked, except for the personnel who purchase daily necessities, others will not be allowed to leave the Gongyuan for half a step until the day of the release. For this reason, this official asked His Majesty to send a hundred forbidden troops, who will be in place tomorrow. ”

Mu Tong looked at the subordinates who were a little chaotic below, but dared not speak out, he directly ignored these emotions and continued.

"The scientific expedition is related to the addition of officials in the next few years, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. Some people will even be future prime ministers and scholars! Therefore, for the sake of the country's social welfare, I have wronged you to live in the tribute courtyard for a month. When the imperial examination ends perfectly, this young monarch will ask for credit for everyone in front of His Majesty. Not to mention anything else, Ben Shaojun privately promised all of you three times this month, and if His Majesty does not allow it, Ben Shaojun will personally fund and reward you. Therefore, I hope that you will abide by the rules and regulations drawn up by the official during the imperial examination. What are the specific rules and regulations, and this will need to be decided after the Japanese officials and the adults will discuss it. But there's one thing I'm going to make now. From tomorrow, servants are not allowed to appear in the areas where officials operate. Miscellaneous chores are collected and distributed by the guards and the officers and men who hand over the food and change of clothes to the officials or miscellaneous servants. Miscellaneous servants are only allowed to operate in the miscellaneous service area, and no one is allowed to go out and communicate with outsiders except those in charge of procurement. If there is any violation, the official will convict him of leaking the secrets of the scientific examination. ”

Mu Tong looked at the people who had been a little relieved because of the three times Yulu's complexion, and after becoming difficult to look at again because of his later words, a trace of pride flashed in his heart.

"I knew there were ghosts in your group. ”

"It's good-looking, the food is going to be cold, let's pick up chopsticks. All-you-can-drink tonight and be on duty tomorrow afternoon. Mo Dao will not give you a chance to relax. ”

Mu Tong ended his speech and began to stir up the atmosphere.

Although everyone was worried, they thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, after all, this person who even dared to move Fu Yin, instead of delusional confrontation with him, it was better to go with the flow and enjoy the last happy time first.
