Since the decision was made, naturally he couldn't delay it any longer, so he went to the sedan chair in silence the next day and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials in the west of the Forbidden City.

When he arrived at the entrance of the street, he got off the sedan chair and asked Sanchi to take the name card to pass through, and he walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, and bought a yellow-orange-orange big duck pear on the way, and gnawed while walking, not in a hurry at all.

Because since ancient times, the higher the yamen, the more difficult it is to enter, and the highest to the top is the yamen of the six departments...... The cabinet level is high, but people are in the West Garden, and you can't get in if you want to. Therefore, the yamen in the world, the number of six is the most difficult to enter, among which the officials who master the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials are the most important, and when the officials of the fourth or fifth grades come, they have to hand over the red envelope first and then pass it, and then when will people let you enter, when can you enter.

When I arrived a few feet in front of the yamen, I saw a pergola set up under the wall. Under the pergola stood a few dozen officials...... Most of them are green robes, and there are also some blue robes mixed in. Shen Mo knew that this was waiting in line in front of the yamen. At the end of the line, an old official was arguing with a thin blue-robed official, and the people around him were looking at him expressionlessly, not knowing whether they were interested or not.

Shen Mo didn't have the heart to see the excitement, but there was no way to stand under the vicious head, and when he saw that Sanqi didn't come out for a long time, he walked down to the pergola, wanting to hide from the sun. But the old man in soapy clothes who was watching and listening to all directions stopped him, pulled out of the dispute, and said to Shen Mo: "Have you paid the money, just go inside?" ”

"Pay?" Shen Mo said strangely: "What money?" ”

"Are long eyes panting?" The old official kicked the sign on the ground with his foot, and only then did he see a few lines of words: 'Fifty wen into the shed, add fifty wen to watch the seat, add fifty wen for herbal tea, and add one hundred wen to eat sour plum soup.' ’

After reading it, he asked the old official silently: "Whose idea is it to do business in front of the yamen?" ”

"What's wrong?" The old official was not afraid of the white pheasant on his chest at all. These people have seen too many officials, and they are already immune to all the red robes, staring at a pair of mouse eyes and saying to Shen Mo: "You also have to take care of the business of the officials?" ”

Shen Mo naturally didn't know as much as this kind of watchdog, and said with a faint smile: "I'm just asking casually...... Since it's a livelihood of the ministry, of course there's no opinion. ”

"It's okay if you have no opinion," the old official said impatiently, "Can you get in or not?" If you think it's expensive, you will say something, and stand under the sun. ”

"It's not expensive, and the price is fair." smiled silently, but remembered that he didn't have a penny on his body, and even the Yali he bought just now was paid by the guards, so he turned back to find his sedan chair.

The old official thought that Shen Mo had no money in his pocket and wanted to save face, so he sneered: "If you don't have money, say it early, and it's not ashamed to stand under the sun." As he spoke, he said one word to Shen Mo and the man: "Get out of ......"

The silent face was pulled down, although he was in a low-key period, it didn't mean that he was bullied, and he was so insulted by a small official at this time, is it unbearable? At this time, he also saw his guards, beckoned them to come over, and prepared to clean up.

But the hand of the fake other person is always not as fast as his own hands, and his guards have not come up yet, the man who was 'rolled' together broke out first, and flew up violently, a move of the legendary 'flirting legs', right in the middle of the old official's umbilicus, only to hear a 'whoop', the old official was like one, holding his lower abdomen and kneeling on the ground.

The man was puzzled, grabbed the old official's hair, and slapped left and right, scolding while beating back: "Stuff your mother's big meal, you can't see anyone with a bad mouth!" "It's actually a Hokkien dialect.

Shen Mo saw that although the man was thin and fleshless, he was very strong, and two slaps knocked out the old official's back molars, and when he landed, his head was scattered, his mouth was full of blood, and the wolf howled silently.

The voice quickly summoned the officials at the yamen, and when they saw that their own people had been beaten, the officials were furious and shouted: "Bold! Stop! "Don't let him run!" He drew his blade and rushed over, trying to stop the man from continuing the beating.

Silently giving a look, the guards came out in line and stood in front of the officials. They don't draw their swords, just by the murderous aura in their eyes, they make those three-legged cats who bully the soft and afraid of the hard all become soft-legged shrimp, this is the difference between the warriors who have been on the battlefield and the watchdogs kept in captivity in the city.

The silent guards here blocked the officials who rescued the driver, but the man in the green robe over there didn't let go of the old official, and he had beaten him so much that his mother couldn't recognize him, and he refused to stop.

The officials in line around looked at it like that, and none of them went up to pull it, it seemed that they were usually blackmailed by the old official, and they couldn't wait to come up and beat him a few times to enjoy it.

Still silently couldn't look at it, walked over and poked the official carefully: "This brother, if you fight again, you will die." ”

When the official heard this, he kicked the muddy old official's feet again, and then he looked back at Shen Mu...... He is an extremely delicate young man, but he has a vegetable face and a rebellious eye, and at first glance he is the kind of poor and hard man who is not afraid of death.

In Silent Mind, the image of Xu Hai's people suddenly emerged, although he was an official and a bandit, but there was definitely something in common in temperament.

Realizing that staring for a long time was impolite, he silently arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?" He saw that the little man must be about thirty years old, and called him so.

The man sneered: "Don't worry, I won't run, you don't have any responsibility, don't rush to ask what my name is." ”

Hearing him so vigilant, Shen Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, no, brother, I misunderstood," he said, pointing at the old official who was paralyzed on the ground: "This guy is also insulting me, if it weren't for Brother Tai's quick move, I wouldn't have been able to spare him." Then he unexpectedly said: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes says that those who cut people do not bear the blame, and those who carry the blame do not cut people." Hurry up, I'll take on the responsibility here. ”

"This ......" the official didn't expect him to say this, paused, and couldn't help laughing: "You are a bit interesting." ”

"You're more interesting." Shen Mo smiled: "Brother Tai, it's too late to go." Because he saw that the officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu had already appeared at the corner of the street, and the speed of the police was really fast enough.

The man didn't move at all, and said with a smile: "The road also says, one person does things and one person is a mile, so don't get involved, they will arrest me, anyway, I'm fed up with birds, and I just don't want to do it." ”

"So why bother?" Silently said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

"It's none of your business, don't get involved, okay?" The man smiled bitterly and begged him, "I don't want to accept your favor." ”

"I don't need to." Shen Mo also smiled bitterly and said, "No one has to leave now, we are surrounded." "It turned out that while speaking, the officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion had already outflanked and were waiting for the order from above to arrest people...... After all, it was the officials who committed the murder, and it was not said that they could take it.

The officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion were patrolling nearby, so they could get to the scene of the incident so quickly, but Lord Yin of his Mansion did not patrol, so the head catcher who led the team had to run back to the government office to ask for instructions.

Looking at the surrounding Shuntianfu soldiers, he touched his nose silently and smiled: "What do you want to say most at this time?" ”

"Kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for a thousand miles!" The man gritted his teeth and said, and suddenly the faces of the officers and soldiers changed. He grinned and asked silently, "What about you, what do you want to say?" ”

"I don't feel so much," Shen Mo smiled and said, "If you have to say it, just ask what your name is?" ”

"You're so persistent." The man smiled and said, "What is there to inquire about, my name is Li Zhen, the word Hongfu, and I am from Quanzhou, Fujian." ”

"Li Zhen?" Shen Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Famous teacher Li Zhen? ”

"Famous teachers can't be talked about," Li Zhen was not surprised at all when he knew his fame, but said lightly: "It's just teaching and eating." ”

This Li Zhen is so famous that people don't know who the governor of Fujian is, but his name is like thunder...... Of course, this 'people' are limited to those who read books, not ordinary people.

Almost every scholar who prepares for the imperial examination has a copy of the 'Township Examination Exam Manual' compiled by Li Zhen, which collects many fine articles and eight shares, which are specially prepared for the first question of making art. It is said that the test questions of the recent Fujian and Zhejiang Township exams have been bet on by his 'cheats'!

The candidates all said that since they had the 'Li Zhen Treasure Book', they no longer had to dig out their minds to guess the questions, and they could easily go into battle by reading word by word. Because the probability of Mr. Li's bet is extremely high, as long as the 'Li Zhen Treasure Book' is memorized, you can carefully study the ink, slowly lift the pen, and leisurely write down Mr. Li's classic model texts with the highest level of calligraphy. Then go home to eat, drink, and wait for the good news indifferently.

It's that simple.

But if you don't accept it, other students' students have a high acceptance rate! Silent and such a good source of students, bothering to teach themselves and find someone to teach, they can't compare to Li Zhen's grass platform team on the beach...... Oh, and to add, Mr. Li's highest education is to lift people, and he has never taken the Jinshi exam. Note that you have not taken the exam, not that you have not been unsuccessful.

What made Shen Mo especially jealous was that many of his students in Suzhou even traveled thousands of miles to Fujian to listen to Li Zhen's class, and when they came back, they told Shen Mo: "Even if the question is not so accurate, his class is worth listening to." The lectures are passionate, easy to understand, and lively, so that people don't want to come back after listening to them......"

In the two township examinations later, the high school candidates did not know how to thank the country and their teachers first, but said in unison: "Li Zhen's Treasure Book" is too powerful!" As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to go to high school! ”

This teacher Li, who was born out of nowhere, directly transformed the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty from mental work to manual labor with his super ability to charge questions. It doesn't matter if you are stupid or stupid, as long as you cantilever and stab the strands, simply and obediently do what you say, and you will definitely succeed if you add a little luck!

However, when the candidates regarded Mr. Li as a beacon and a helmsman, those adults who had already passed the imperial examination and who in turn held the power of the imperial examination regarded him as a flood beast and were eager to punish him.

Because this hateful fellow, with his actual actions, debunked the nonsense of 'what Bagu Wen expounds the sage's subtle words', tarnished the sacredness and solemnity of the imperial examination, and made the people of the world understand that the so-called 'imperial examination' is just a game of cat and mouse, and in fact, it has nothing to do with knowledge or intelligence...... Shen Mo had always wanted to meet this colleague, and he deeply suspected that this person might have the same background as himself, both of whom had traveled from four or five hundred years later, and even thought about the identity of this person before he crossed over - a super tutor for the college entrance examination or graduate school entrance examination! Otherwise, where did this guy get such a high test-taking ability?

Unexpectedly, when I saw it today, this Teacher Li was unexpectedly fierce, which made Shen Mo even more convinced - Lao Tzu is not the only one, this Li Zhen also crossed over!

If that's the case, it's great, as long as he is Chinese, he will definitely be like-minded with me." Shen Mo thought so, but he was cautious and would not rashly recognize each other, but threw out a question and asked, "How does Teacher Li understand the words of the sage?" "Speak quietly in the circle of guards of the guards, without worrying about others hearing.

"It's just the nonsense of an unwilling old man who has failed in life," Li Zhen said disdainfully: "It's okay to read it as a miscellaneous book when you have nothing to do, if you really think it's a small word, as a code of conduct, either your head is squeezed by the door, or you eat too many carrots." ”

Shen Mo now believes in his own judgment even more, if he is not dressed like himself, who would dare to be so rebellious in the Ming Dynasty? With people who have just met, it is not a big deal to talk about Confucius, even if Xu Wei and Xu are bold, they don't dare.

This is not the place to speak, silently pressed the joy, and said that he would protect him no matter what, so he stared at his eyes and said meaningfully: "Refrigerator, color TV, washing machine, ......" This is equivalent to the bandit's black words, the code of the underground party.

Li Zhen looked back at Shen Mo strangely and said, "What do you mean?" What is military pay? Grocery store? Lizard chicken? The name of a dish? ”

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, he silently said that it was the seniors of the fifties and sixties...... That's better, it's red and specialized, and there are fewer distractions. Then he sent a code: "Radio, flashlight, sewing machine." ”

"Handprint chicken? Crazy chicken? What kind of chicken is this? Li Zhen asked blankly.

Shen Mo couldn't help but lament: 'Could it be that the Republic of China crossed over? But after thinking about it, it's not right, it seems that the Republic of China didn't want exam-oriented education at that time, right? Could it be that a foreigner crossed over?

At this time, Shen Mo saw that Sanchi came out of the yamen with the person he was looking for, so he had to stop thinking nonsense and decided to wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity afterwards and ask directly.

The official who came out of the yamen, Wangzhi was in his thirties, handsome and elegant, and he was simply a young scribe's version of Lu Bing.

Of course, this is not a coincidence, because he is also surnamed Lu, named Guangzu, a native of Pinghu, Zhejiang, and Lu Bingnai is a close relative of his family, and he is also the most face-giving to Lu Bing and the most pleasing to him.

If you think that the wealthy lords have done their best to make some of the second ancestors, then it is a big mistake, and the key depends on the tutor. Like Lu Guangzu's lineage, his grandfather and father are both Jinshi, and they can be called scholarly families. In this good family environment for ten years, he became a member of the golden generation of Jiajing in the 26th year of his reign.

However, unlike Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang, and Yin Shizhan, who took the Tsinghua line, he started from the grassroots level, first serving as a county magistrate, then as a general judge, and all the way to the prefect.

After working hard for more than ten years, he finally completed his local training last year and was promoted to the rank of Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials - although he lost one level in grade, it was a real big leap. Who doesn't know about the Manchu Dynasty? The Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Military Affairs are in charge of the promotion and promotion of civil officials; A person who manages the promotion of military generals is the two most important positions in the level, not only fat and oily, but also has a great chance of being promoted to Shilang Shangshu, and the future is unlimited.

So as soon as he came out, the officials who were waiting for the vacancy surrounded him with a hula as if they had seen his mother, and Lord Lu was long and Lord Lu was short. It's no wonder that they are poor and short-sighted, after all, as long as this Lord Lu nods, their shortcomings will be lived, and they don't have to queue up all day long to suffer this living crime.

But Lu Guangzu didn't come for them, he politely arched his hand to everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will come and talk to you again after the lower officials have dealt with the accident over there." ”

Everyone didn't dare to miss Lord Lu's matter, although they were reluctant, they had to obediently get out of the way.

I saw Lu Guangzu walk in front of those Shuntianfu soldiers and whisper a few words, and those people obediently closed the team and didn't care about the mess here.

Lu Guangzu walked to Shen Mo's side again, smiled at him, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and said to the left and right: "Send Lao Hou home, let him raise it first, and wait for something to be done." ”

There was no objection left and right, so the old official surnamed Hou, who was still unconscious, was carried away with the door panel.
