The three of them went out the door, found a rental carriage, and sat at the entrance of the clerk's office. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The red list at the gate has been removed, and because the appointment of officials is not publicized, so you can only go up and ask.

Zuo Shaoyang stepped forward and asked the gatekeeper at the door, and the porter ignored the big thorns, until Zuo Shaoyang took out a string of money for him, and then changed his smile, saying that the results would come out in the next two days, and the letter of appointment would be sent to the Jinshi who appointed the official, and the list of appointed officials could also be found in the Ministry of Meritorious Examination. However, according to the past practice, only two or three percent of those who can be appointed as officials can be appointed, and most of the jinshi cannot be appointed.

This Zuo Shaoyang is not worried, he just has an explanation when he goes back in order to deal with his father's errand.

After asking, Zuo Shaoyang said, "Where are we going to play?" Qiao'er, your legs and feet are inconvenient, they haven't been cured yet, and you can't stand for a long time, so it's best to find a place to sit. ”

Qiao Qiao'er said: "Xianggong, I sent an invitation to Yaoyao yesterday, but she didn't come, and no one else in their family came to attend the wedding, I want to go and see her, I don't know how she is now." ”

The Zhen brothers were sent to prison, and the medical hall was also sealed, which can really be described as a separation. Zhen Yao, the great-granddaughter of the old miracle doctor Zhen Quan, is Qiao Qiaoer's best friend, so she wants to visit. Zuo Shaoyang went to Zhen's Medical Center twice, wanted to visit Zhen Lao Shen Doctor, but he touched a soft nail, and the latter time he was very unhappy with Zhen Yao's grandfather Zhen Hang, so he didn't have the intention of visiting, and then by chance, he finally met the Zhen brothers, but he didn't have the opportunity to ask for advice, but he didn't expect that Zhen Quan used a hidden thimble to stab the death hole of Du Yan, the secretary of the school department, so that his heart stopped, fortunately Zuo Shaoyang was present and saved Du Yan. Later, Zuo Shaoyang was recommended to take the medical examination and become a Tanhualang, but the Zhen brothers were put in prison because of a palace murder case.

Now that Qiao Qiao'er was going to visit, Zuo Shaoyang naturally followed her, nodded and agreed, and found a rental carriage to come to Zhen's Medical Center.

The two brothers, Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan, had already separated from each other, and Zhen Quan opened the Zhen Medical Center, which was sealed, and the Zhen family's mansion was behind the medical hall. It is possible to enter from another alley.

knocked on the door for a long time, only to come out of an old man with dizzy eyes, saw Zuo Shaoyang, didn't know, looked at Qiao Qiao'er again, squinted and looked at it for a long time, just because Qiao Qiao'er changed into a young woman's outfit, and the porter's eyes were not good, and it took a long time to recognize Qiao Qiao'er: "Ouch, it's Miss Qiao, please come in!" ”

"I'm coming to see Yaoyao with my husband and sister, is she at home?"

"It's in, it's supposed to be in the backyard. The old slave will lead you. ――Are the young ladies married? When? The old man asked as he led them inside.

"Yesterday." Qiao Qiao'er whispered shyly.

"Yesterday? Why did I get married without any movement, just like our two grandfathers, alas, they were also good, and they said bad things without a sound, so they were put on death row, and the hospital was closed, alas! Du Yan, this old horseman, has harmed our Zhen family so much, he will not have a good reward! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was startled when he heard him scolding Du Yan in front of outsiders, but Qiao Qiao'er was not surprised, it seemed that he had known the old man's temper before, and he also understood that the old man was so resentful.

The old man in the concierge chattered as he walked, saying that the two old ladies were good. said how bad Du Yan was, of course, what he said was good and bad, it was nothing more than trivial things such as the Zhen brothers talking politely to him and visiting him when they were sick, and saying that Du Yan was bad, it was good to turn over and over again that the two old doctors were suddenly put on death row, making his wife and family not like home.

Zuo Shaoyang knew why the Zhen brothers were unlucky, Zhen Quan tried to directly murder Du Yan, and judging from the situation at the time, the two brothers must have premeditated. Just rush this point and throw them on death row, which is absolutely deserved.

Du Yan did not use this incident to punish the Zhen brothers, because only Zuo Shaoyang and himself knew about this matter, and no one else saw it, Zuo Shaoyang was a small man, it was difficult to win trust, the evidence of the crime was not easy to find, and it was easy to give people the feeling of personal vendetta in the public opinion. At the same time, if you say this, you are the victim, and you can't try the case yourself.

However, if you dig out the case of the dereliction of duty of the Zhen brothers who caused the death of Emperor Gaozu's concubine, because he is supervising the imperial history and picketing hundreds of officials, he can manage this case in a grand manner, and use this case to bring down the Zhen family and kill the Zhen brothers, this is the smartest.

Thinking of these, Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help but be amazed by Du Yan's calmness and ability to weigh the pros and cons, and felt even more frightened.

Walk through the deserted pavilions and come to Zhen Yao's boudoir in the back garden.

Zhen Yao had already cried so much that her eyes were swollen like peaches. Let the three of them into the house and sit down. The maid came up to make tea, and then took the tray and bowed her head and withdrew.

Zhen Yao sighed faintly with a big mouth: "Qiao'er, you got married yesterday, I couldn't come to congratulate you, it's really rude, just because yesterday my mother and I were running around about the old lady Zeng's affairs all day, I really can't get out, don't be weird." ”

Qiao Qiao'er shook her head and said with concern: "How is the matter with Old Lady Zeng?" Got eyebrows? ”

"No, these days, my father, grandfather, and they are all going around for a relationship, and my mother and I have also gone to find some people, taking the money, and people are looking for all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, no matter how good the people are, they are all avoiding us, as if we are some poisonous snake and beast."

It's no wonder that it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Du Yan staged a trick of resurrection, and saw a lot of people who violated the yang and yin, so many people were unlucky, and the rest of the people would rather be careful in everything, more than one thing is better than less thing, of course, they can hide and hide. Who told you two old men to plot against Du Yan and want to kill him? The bell must be tied to the bell, and I am afraid that this matter must be forgiven by Du Yan to understand. However, to forgive a person who tried to kill him, not to mention that Du Yan originally wanted to rectify the Zhen brothers, even if he was an ordinary person, it was almost impossible to do it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang said: "You should go to Lord Du, the imperial historian, to intercede, this matter is ......."

Zhen Yao screamed: "Even if we die, we won't beg that old horseman!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhen Yao to react so much.

Qiao Qiao'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Yaoyao, my father-in-law is just kind intentions, he just arrived in the capital, and he doesn't know a lot of things." ”

Zhen Yao suddenly came to her senses, got up and bowed, and wept and said, "I'm sorry, Zuo Gongzi, I was rude in a hurry." ”

"It's okay." Zuo Shaoyang returned the salute. I wanted to ask what was going on, but when I saw Zhen Yao's big movement, I must have hated this Du Yan, so I didn't want to poke the hornet's nest anymore.

Qiao Qiaoer talked to Zhen Yao and comforted her for a while, and then the family said goodbye and left the Zhen family.

In the carriage home, Zuo Shaoyang asked Zhen Yao in a low voice: "Why does Zhen Yao seem to hate Du Yan very much, although this matter was decided by the imperial historian Du Yan to file a case for investigation, but he is the imperial historian, and it is also his duty to say it." You shouldn't be annoyed by people because of this, and finding a door to ask for a favor may help. ”

Qiao Qiao'er said in a low voice: "Xianggong, you have just come to the capital, and you are not a person in the officialdom, and you don't know what this Du Yan is." ”

"Is Du Yan a bad person?"

"It's not just bad!" Qiao Qiao'er said, "I also heard Yaoyao tell me, saying that this person is ganging up in the imperial court, perverting the law for bribes, buying and selling officials, ruthless, and if he catches someone else's handle, he will be killed." The court officials all hated and feared him. But the emperor was very good to him, last time he was sick, the emperor also specially designated the Zhen brothers to treat him, and his own nephew was the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Du Ruhui, so no one dared to provoke him. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "You little girl, listening to the wind is rain, haven't you heard all these from others?" Who's to say it's true? Besides, officialdom is like a battlefield, if it's just a small official with sesame mung beans and has no quarrel with the world, it's okay, but how many officials with such a high position as Du Yan don't gang up? How many butts are clean? How many are there who don't see the money? How many of them are not ruthless in dealing with political opponents? If you can't, don't expect to stay in such a high position. ”

Qiao Qiao'er also smiled: "Hehe, listening to you say this, it seems that you have been in the officialdom for decades." ”

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?"

In modern society, all kinds of novels, movies, and television about officialdom are overwhelming, true and false, and it makes people tremble to watch, although some art is exaggerated, but art comes from life in the end, and from the real officialdom cases exposed, it is also inseparable. Therefore, although Zuo Shaoyang has never been an official or mixed with officialdom, he has watched a lot of officialdom novels and TV, so he is no stranger to officialdom.

Qiao Qiao'er said: "But I heard people say that this Du Yan is really domineering and bad." ”

Zuo Shaoyang turned his head and asked Bai Zhihan: "What do you think?" ”

Bai Zhihan smiled: "I don't know this Lord Du Yandu, but since he is the imperial historian who pickets hundreds of officials, and picketing hundreds of officials is a job that is easy to offend people, those who have been offended by him will naturally not say that he is good." Besides, the emperor is very holy today, and if he wants to make a ghost under his nose, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

Zuo Shaoyang slapped his thigh: "It's no longer right!" Hehe, Zhi'er is really Lan Xinhui! ”

"Sister Bai said the same," Qiao Qiao'er also said: "Alas, but the Zhen family is unwilling to beg Du Yan, if there is a person from Du Yan to help intercede, maybe they can get through this hurdle." Otherwise, now the two old doctors are on death row, and I am afraid that they will not survive. ”

Although Zuo Shaoyang saved Du Yan's life, he had a fear of Du Yan's subconscious, and Du Yan also let people tell him that he was not allowed to talk about it outside. Now there are very few people in the court who know about his relationship with Du Yan, and he doesn't have a good impression of the Zhen family, so he doesn't want to interfere in this matter at all, and he can't intervene or help, so he didn't say anything.
