This deputy examiner knelt in front of the chief examiner to plead, which was really inappropriate. Wang informed that this Yang Liwu is also a capable official, who has a lot of means to do things, and he is also a source of left and right in Qingzhou officialdom. Otherwise, with the post of Ququ as a canonical history, he is not worthy of being the deputy examiner of the exam.

Since colleagues ask for each other, they have to give each other a face......

He made up his mind, waved his hand, and motioned to retreat.

"Okay, Lord Yang, since you said so, then Wang will give you a face. Liu Yong took the exam, although he was a celebrity, he could be exempted from serious crimes, but he could not escape from misdemeanors, so he was deprived of his qualifications for autumn and fined 500 pieces of silver. Lord Yang, please get up quickly. Wang Tong judged.

After Yang Liwu got up, he looked at Liu Yong and said, "Why don't you thank Lord Xie yet?" ”

At this time, Liu Yong's face was already full of guilt, and his face turned red and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Thank me slowly." Wang Tong raised his head and said, "As the examiner, I need to be responsible for the Jiangshan Society." Liu Yong and Liu Ming, if both of them are punished lightly, they really can't explain it. This official website opens one side, and Liu Yong is lightly haired. But, Liu Ming, can you deny your own mistakes? ”

"Official Proverbs" said: "There are only two or three things to be an official. It is said to be clear, prudent, and diligent. Wang Tong is well versed in this, with both purity and prudence, and equal emphasis on fairness and bureaucratic brotherhood.

At this time, Liu Ming's heart was already full of joy when he heard that his uncle did not need to go to prison. As long as the uncle is safe, why not confess his guilt?

He was about to speak, but he saw Yang Liwu on the side glaring at him.

"My lord, this Liu Yong needs to be taken lightly. This Liu Ming...... It is even more necessary to absolve them of responsibility...... The results of this test should still be valid. Yang Liwu said unhurriedly.

"What?" Wang Tong frowned slightly, looked at Yang Liwu, and said coldly: "Lord Yang, what are you talking about...... Is it the old man who is in command? ”

Wang Tong is a dignified and upright six-grade judge, while Yang Liwu is a classic history that does not enter the ranks, and he Wang Tong will naturally not be at the mercy of the other party.

"My lord, I don't dare to ...... my humble position," Yang Liwu said calmly, "It's just that Liu Ming, young and promising, full of poetry and books, is the best among the students in Fei County......"

"So what? This ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Rites, is it you who have the final say, or do I have the final say? Wang Tong sneered. In his opinion, he has already given enough face to this deputy examiner. If the other party comes to entangle again, it will be a bit ignorant of the taste.

Yang Liwu smiled worldly and said, "How dare you go against your lords? It's just that...... This Liu Ming absolved his responsibility, not only the meaning of lowly duties, but also the meaning of the Ministry of Rites......"

"What?" Almost everyone present, including Liu Ming himself, raised doubts.

"You said Ouyang Xiu?" Wang Tong's eyes were puzzled.

Ouyang Xiu? Liu Ming thought to himself, at this time, Ouyang Xiu was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and as an example of a scholar, how could he be responsible for himself?

"Exactly...... This is the handwritten letter of Ouyang Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Yang Liwu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Tong.

Wang Tong hurriedly got up, solemnly spread out the letter, and saw that it was written: "Refer to the delivery of the Qingzhou General Judgment: Wen Liuming participated in the examination, the old man was in the government and the opposition, and he had heard a little about his talent. Liu Mingli's big festival is very impressive, and his talent is broad and broad, but he believes in it, and he hopes that the officials in Qingzhou will pay more attention. If you encounter this person's examination paper, I hope to review it carefully to check whether he has the talent to learn. ”

In the letter, although Ouyang Xiu said it very implicitly, let the chief examiner in Qingzhou take the idea, in fact, he was saying that this Liu Ming was recommended by the old man, you should all pay attention.

Wang Tong's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, his tone became much more polite, and he asked, "Lord Yang, how do you have this letter from Lord Ouyang?" ”

Yang Liwu said with a smile; "Lord Wang, I, Yang, am also a knife and pen official. It's just that...... There are relatives in the Privy Council, who happen to be very close to the Zhongshu Sect where Lord Ouyang is located, and he has also had several acquaintances with Lord Ouyang. So......"

When Wang Tong heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, I can't imagine that this Lord Yang and nobles are in Bianjing." ”

Wang Tong is the general judge of Qingzhou, and he was originally going to be a big Yang Liwu for several products. However, seeing that the other party had relatives in the Privy Council, and knew Ouyang Xiu, he had long been impressed by the other party in his heart.

At this time, his tone was thoughtful and discussed, and he said, "Lord Yang, what do you mean ......?"

Yang Liwu whispered a few words in Wang Tong's ear, Wang Tong nodded slightly, and looked at Liu Ming again.

"This official thinks about it again, you should step back first." Wang Tong said.

After Liu Ming left the examination room, the clothes on his back were already soaked. The plot of my own experience is really like a roller coaster.

At this time, the candidates in the Gongyuan have long since dispersed, empty and empty, the sunset is blood-red, and the autumn wind is blowing.

"It was still dark clouds just now, but it was sunny again in a blink of an eye......" Yang Liwu stood in the open space of the examination room, looking up at the sky.

Liu Ming stood aside, with mixed feelings in his heart. I and my uncle, half an hour ago, my uncle was going to be imprisoned, and he was dismissed and removed, which was originally a catastrophe. In the blink of an eye, this seemingly certain thing was resolved by Yang Liwu's skillful hands.

However, Liu Ming's mood became even heavier. He thought in his heart, what is the background of this Yang Liwu? was able to deal with the Privy Council and Ouyang Xiu? This is not an ordinary local sesame official.

No, you have to ask yourself.

"Thank you, sir......" Liu Mingzuo said.

"Well...... Might as well. Yang Liwu bared his yellow teeth and smiled, "You and I are close partners, grasshoppers on a rope." One is prosperous, and one is humiliated. I'll help you......"

"Your Excellency...... I'm taking the test to ......," Liu Ming said, making up a reason.

"Scholars, naturally, are for fame." Yang Liwu said with a smile, "If you can get an official and a half position, it would be good for us to be horns in the officialdom and help each other." ”

Liu Ming nodded, but thought in his heart, still help each other? Lao Tzu's exam is just to overturn you......

I thought so, but I still had a smile on my face. Liu Ming sighed to himself, when did he become a black-bellied man.

"Uncle Yang......" Liu Ming changed his affectionate name and asked tentatively, "Do you know this Lord Ouyang Xiu?" ”

Yang Liwu showed a sneering expression on his face: "Then Ouyang Gong, a supreme minister, how can he know me?" ”

"What ...... this epistle?"

"Naturally, I faked it." Yang Liwu responded.

Liu Ming took a breath, this deceived Qingzhou Tongju, if he was found out, he would definitely be put in prison.

Yang Liwu saw that Liu Ming's face was different, and said calmly: "Ming'er, we are all a family, so I will tell you the truth." Don't look at him Wang Tong in front of us, there are five people and six people, and when he meets the Beijing official, he still kneels down obediently? ”

"I can't wear it. He Wang Tong is not qualified to see Ouyang Xiu at all. Yang Liwu smiled contemptuously and analyzed, "Even if he sees Ouyang Xiu, does he dare to mention such an obscure thing?" Besides, this epistle is still with me, and I have left no evidence. This is called unfounded. ”

Forging letters from superior officials, such a big event, Yang Liwu said it easily. This made Liu Ming feel the other party's terrible even more.

"Ming'er, this is a good thing for you...... Yang Liwu smiled, "In a few days, the entire Qingzhou will know that you are a young talent brought by Ouyang Xiu." I'm paving the way for you...... Scholars like you, once you become famous, will soar. ”

Liu Ming was speechless for a moment.

"But what about ......" Yang Liwu smiled gloomily, "Uncle Yang also has something to ask you......

"Please ......"

"The business of this Ping'an Hall in the state capital is too good, and the area of the warehouse is too small, and the medicinal materials can't be piled up. I see, isn't it...... Build another ...... I've got the address...... The price is negotiated, you can sign it. ”
