Wang Tong's face turned pale, and he looked a little surprised. Immediately, his expression fell into a tangle, this Liu Ming, the article is done well, the paper is handed in quickly, but he has the talent to learn. However, it also involves the issue of substitute exams, which is also very tricky.

"Someone...... Take it to the inner hall for careful examination. Wang Tong pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

In the inner hall, Wang Tong took off the black veil, sat on a chair, and drank tea expressionlessly.

Liu Yong knelt on the ground, Liu Ming stood aside, and a squad of messengers with killing sticks in their hands lined up behind him.

"Yoo Yong!" Wang Tong spoke, "For you, the evidence is conclusive, and you dare to cheat for personal gain in the ceremony of solving the examination, impersonating the exam, and ignoring the warnings of this official and the examiners. According to the law, he should be given thirty rods and then imprisoned. ”

He turned his head to look at Liu Ming, and said sternly: "Liu Ming, let me ask you, do you know about your uncle Liu Yong's substitute exam?" ”

Liu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My lord, if you don't know it, you have to sit on the leather to be qualified for the exam." ”

"No, no." Wang Tong stroked his beard and said, "If you really don't know." The power of sentencing lies with the official. I think you are young and quick-witted, and the article is not bad. As long as your Liu family signs a deed to sever the kinship with Liu Yong, you will be expelled from his family. This official can guarantee that you are still eligible for autumn. You can still take the test again next time. ”

Kinship, you need to sit and be punished, and if you sever your blood relationship, you can continue the exam.

Wang Tong's meaning is obvious, he is a person who cherishes talents, whether Liu Ming knows it or not, he hopes that the other party does not know. Because, Liu Ming's strategy is really excellent, with rigorous arguments and a broad vision. He also knew the hardships of preparing for the exam, and he couldn't bear to abolish a candidate's future like this.

A relative next to him also said: "This is our adult's extrajudicial kindness, and it is also the adult's talent to cherish you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yong, the uncle who was kneeling on the ground, desperately glanced at Liu Ming. Originally, because of himself, he affected his nephew, and Liu Yong felt very guilty. This nephew of his own, smart and studious, was originally the hope of the family. This time, if Liu Ming was deprived of his qualifications to take the exam, he wouldn't know how to face his second brother Liu Yuanzhi. Now, hearing that there is a glimmer of hope, Yoo Yong would rather risk the price of severing his blood ties to ensure that his nephew can continue to take the exam.

Seeing Uncle Liu Yong glaring eagerly at him, Liu Ming's heart was extremely sour. The qualification for the ancient imperial examination was as heavy as life for many scholars. The family even smashed pots and sold iron, and also provided for their son to study. However, when it comes to Liu Ming, if he wants to sever blood ties in exchange for his future, he doesn't have to think about it, it's absolutely impossible!

The bond of family affection is the most important support for his life in this life. Let him sell people?

What kind of face does he have to live in this world?

The more Liu Ming thought about it, the more excited he became, his chest rose and fell, his body trembled slightly, and he said firmly: "My lord...... The student is guilty, the student is informed. ”

"Oh?" Wang Tong looked surprised.

"My lord, the student only learned about this before entering the examination room this morning. The student was not decisive enough to dissuade the uncle, which was also the student's fault. Liu Ming's eyes were red.

These words are from the bottom of his heart. Liu Ming really regretted that he didn't dissuade his uncle at the last moment. This has led to the current embarrassing situation.

Wang Tong sighed and felt sorry for him: "Why are you suffering......"

"My lord, my uncle is like my parents. The filial son is the best, and he is very respectful. If I go against the facts and cut off my bloodline, although I can continue to take the exam, I will also be unable to get the merit because I have offended the wrath of heaven. Liu Ming said from the bottom of his heart.

During this time, after studying, he had been infected by the unique temperament of scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty. The rulers of the Song Dynasty believed that the rise and fall of the state had an absolute relationship with the likes and dislikes of social customs. Virtue is the vitality of the country.

The golden mean, too. It's not that later generations think that they are cowardly and mediocre, and they dare not come out. On the contrary, it requires the reader, no matter what the situation, not to deviate from his own ideas and goals, and always maintain integrity.

Liu Ming also went out this time, wanting to pursue a moderate time. He was prepared, but it was a big deal, he didn't take the imperial examination and concentrated on going home to do business. There is always another way to solve the matter of the Peace Hall.

Liu Ming looked at the uncle kneeling on the ground, the vicissitudes of life were pitiful, and he said softly: "Uncle Yong, why don't men take Wu Hook, the eldest husband is standing in the world, and he needs to be open-minded." I'm Liu Ming...... Can't do such a thing. Uncle Yong...... You will always be the ...... of our Liu family", Liu Ming read the last few words very seriously.

"Why don't you take Wu Hook ......" Liu Yong's nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and he understood that his nephew had made a great sacrifice for himself, and he fell to the ground and cried, his whimpering sound mixed with bitterness and remorse.

Such a scene, even the errand behind him was sad, and he couldn't bear to look too far.

"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Wang Tong sighed, waved his hand and said, "Someone's coming...... Take Liu Yong outside the Gongyuan and give him thirty canes as a warning. In addition, a notice was issued that the candidate Liu Ming should be accompliced to the insider, cancel the results of this exam, and punish him forever from taking the exam. ”

Liu Ming's body shook slightly, although he was prepared, he still couldn't help but feel regretful.

At this time, just as the messengers were about to set up Liu Yong and drag him outside the Gongyuan, a soldier Yong ran in and reported:

"Lord Wang, Lord Deputy Examiner has something to ask to see......

"Well, he should be made aware of this as well." Wang Tong bowed his head and said, "Please let him in." ”

The sound of footsteps, Liu Ming only felt the floor tiles in front of him, and a shadow swept by.

"See Lord Wang below." A low, hoarse voice rang out in the room.

Liu Ming swept his eyes and was suddenly surprised, his thin figure, yellowed cheeks, and long eyes like snakes and scorpions......

Why is Yang Liwu here?

"Lord Yang, it's just so time that you're here." Wang Tong opened his mouth and said, "As the deputy examiner of this examination, you are responsible for maintaining the discipline of the examination room. This case of fraud in the substitute examination must be known to you. ”

Yang Liwu put his hands behind his back, turned to look at Liu Ming, with an elusive yin in his eyes, and said, "Young Master Liu, did you participate in the test without notifying me in advance?" ”

Liu Ming was shocked, he didn't expect Yang Liwu to be the examiner for the examiner. Could it be ...... The other party has insight into their own thoughts and wants to make a trip? If the other party has already learned of his intentions, he is wary...... It's really a complete loss.

At this time, without waiting for Liu Ming to answer, Yang Liwu arched his hand at Lord Wang again: "My lord, I have something to say about my humble position." ”

Wang Tong said with a smile: "Lord Yang, you and I are both examiners for the examination, please know everything, and say everything." ”

Yang Liwu "pounced", knelt down, and said, "Please forgive Lord Wang." ”

"Lord Yang, what are you doing here?" Wang Tong hurriedly got up and helped the way.

"It's not a secret, I was humble and the Liu family, and I was once married. This happened, and as an examiner, I felt that I couldn't get rid of it. Yang Liwu knelt down and said, "Please punish the sin." ”

Wang Tong waved his hand and said, "Lord Yang, this is serious. You and I both select talents for the Son of Heaven and are responsible for this talent ceremony. I just listened to your words and didn't know it, what is the crime? Hurry up, please. ”

"Master Xie...... But there is one thing to ask for in a humble position...... "Yang Liwu still knelt down and bowed to the tunnel, "Uncle Liu Yong's nephew is a man who has read poetry and books and has great talents. The...... I also hope that the adults will be extrajudicial and gracious. ”

Wang Tong raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "How do you want me to be gracious?" ”

"My lord, Liu Yongnai is a famous man in Qingzhou, and his poems and songs shook Bianjing...... Although there is a mistake in the substitute exam, I implore the adults to be lenient. Yang Liwu pleaded.

Liu Ming watched Yang Liwu kneel on the ground, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, which was very complicated. He didn't expect that now he wanted this Yang Liwu to intercede for his uncle.

"Well...... this" Wang Tong looked at Yang Liwu who was kneeling on the ground, stroked his beard and pondered.
