Chapter 303: Before the Exam

In the past two days, the court suddenly seemed to have entered a period of frequent news overnight, and a lot of news came out one by one.

The most important news, of course, is that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to officially appoint Xu Pu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, as the chief examiner of this examination, and Wang Xian, the bachelor of Hanlin Academy, as the deputy chief examiner, and at the same time appointed other eighteen examiners.

This is almost until the juncture of zuihou to announce the candidates, in order to avoid all kinds of requests. The examiners who received the edict packed their bags one after another, entered the Gongyuan as quickly as possible, and then made a look of avoiding suspicion and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Compared with the news of the candidates for the examiner, other news is less eye-catching. For example, Li Dongyang, the waiter, and Fang Qingzhi, the editor, were commissioned to compile the "Wenhua Great Training".

Another example is the rumor in the officialdom of Beijing that Liu Mian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, saw that Fang Qingzhi had won the holy favor, so he brought up the old matter again and brought up the favor to forcibly accept the famous prodigy Fang Yingwu as his son-in-law. And the Fang family was forced to promise, and in desperation, in order not to be a dishonest person, they had to agree, and they only got married after the end of the Spring Festival.

This news still made many people choke, and they felt that "a flower was inserted in cow dung" or "good cabbage made the pig arch" and so on. That Liu Mian is worthy of being a person who is good at speculation, and he deceived Fang Yingwu into such a good son-in-law.

At the same time, the scandal of Liu Cifu's family is gradually showing signs of subsidence. The Son of Heaven left all the pieces in the middle and did not send them, which is very revealing. The one on the throne did not cooperate and did not respond, only the ministers blindly played and slack, it seemed very boring, in the final analysis, it was just a scandal in the ya, and it was not Liu Cifu himself who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Fang Yingwu doesn't care about this. I didn't bother to continue to pay attention, it was originally the drunkard's intention not to drink. It was not his goal for Liu Cifu not to be unlucky.

Now he has entered a state of complete grinding of guns. There are too many chores during this time, which is seriously distracting. When it was time for the exam, I suddenly became nervous. In the afternoon of this day, Fang Yingwu was reading in the house, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Is Brother Fang Xian here!" ”

This voice was clearly Xiang Chengxian's, Fang Yingwu hurriedly walked out of the door, and sure enough, he saw Xiang Dagongzi shouting in the courtyard. Fang Yingwu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Why did Brother Xiang come out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Won't the case be heard so quickly? ”

Since beating the drum, Xiang Dagongzi has been left in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is interrogated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate at any time, and he doesn't want to come out now.

Xiang Chengxian replied: "The case is not closed at the moment, but the day after tomorrow is the day when the exam will be held." Could it be that the Metropolitan Procuratorate can delay the examination for my brother and me in order to try the case? So let me out first, and I'll talk about it after I'm done. ”

At present, Fang Yingwu's greatest purpose has been achieved, and his father's servant Bandong Palace has even gained beyond expectations, so the outcome of the case is no longer important to him. But Fang Yingwu still asked: "How far has the case been tried now?" ”

Xiang Chengxian replied again: "Lord Cao of Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses probably won't be able to escape, no matter what, the evidence that he arrested me without authorization is conclusive, and everyone can't deny it, this can be convicted."

As for the charge of collusion between Lord Cao and Liu Ergongzi and the abuse of public weapons, there is no actual evidence. But there is a lot of circumstantial evidence, and it is not something he can easily rely on. However, there are also some unexpected things, when the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent that Du Xiangqin to the Ya for questioning, I don't know why. Du Xiangqin denied being oppressed. ”

Fang Yingwu originally just asked casually, showing his concern for his friend, but he didn't expect to really ask about something. "What did Du Sanniang say? Why did you suddenly change your hexagram? ”

Miss Du Xiangqin said that she has always admired the talent of Liu Ergongzi. Therefore, she took the initiative to collect less money in the relationship, and there was no such thing as Liu Ergongzi bullying and blackmailing her. As for why there are rumors in the market that Liu Ergongzi is bullying. Probably because outsiders don't know the truth, so there is a misunderstanding. ”

Fang Yingwu was taken aback, she didn't expect Du Sanniang to completely deny her previous statement in court, what did she think?

Could it be that the Liu family made a move behind his back and sealed Du Sanniang's mouth? With the ability of the Liu family, this can indeed be done, but after thinking about it, Fang Yingwu feels that it is not too possible, with Liu Jue's simple and rude arrogant character, will he bargain with the lower ninth-rate prostitutes?

In fact, whether Du Sanniang accused Liu Ergongzi or not has nothing to do with the overall situation, even if she came forward to accuse Liu Ergongzi of doing evil, it may be useless. And Fang Yingwu didn't plan to substantially hit Liu Cifu with a prostitute from the beginning, or Fang Yingwu's main mind was not on this, his layout was "me-oriented", just brush up his own prestige.

But Fang Yingwu still wants to find out the inside story of Du Sanniang's hexagram, how can there be any small flaws in his perfect layout?

After Xiang Chengxian finished talking to Fang Yingwu, he walked out again, he was locked up in the Metropolitan Procuratorate during this time, but he was suffocated. Fang Yingwu hurriedly stopped him, "What are you going to do when you go out again?" ”

"Miss Du is a good person, I still have the intention of redeeming her. But I really don't understand how Miss Du changed her hexagram, so I have to go to the alley of the Jiaofang Division to ask carefully! ”

The big exam is going to be the day after tomorrow, and this guy still has the heart to go to the alley of the Jiaofang Division to find a woman? Fang Yingwu just wanted to persuade a few words, but then remembered that Xiang Dagongzi came to participate in the examination with the mentality of a long-term tourist at all, and he didn't expect this meeting to be Chinese, is it useful to persuade him?

It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him go, Fang Yingwu smiled helplessly. Originally, I wanted to give my review materials to Mr. Xiang, but now it seems that I still forget it. He himself is not interested in the exam, so why bother himself.

At this time, Xiang Chengxian pointed to the direction of Fang Qingzhi's study, and asked with squeezing his eyebrows, "Are you going?" Since I arrived in Beijing, you and I have not been chic together, and Ling Zun is now on the rise, why do you have to work so hard. ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand with a dark face, driving away Xiang Dagongzi, a bad friend who did not seek to improve, he was not a candidate who no one cared about. Although in the past two days, because of his father's promotion, there have been more visitors in the house, so that his father has little time to urge himself to study, but if he dares to run out to eat flowers and wine, he will be punished by family law if he comes back.

Xiang Chengxian took a square step, arched his hand and said goodbye in a white tone with Kunqu Opera: "Then I will go back to Miss Du to be a brother, and I will go to Nagong Courtyard with Brother Fang Xian tomorrow." ”

"Who is Miss Du?" Suddenly, someone at the gate of the small courtyard asked. Xiang Chengxian was in a happy mood, and replied while turning around: "Tell Mr. He that he learned that he is a famous beauty in the alley of the Jiaofang Division."

Fang Yingwu had already seen someone coming at the gate of the courtyard just now, but he didn't know it, so he guessed that he was visiting his father. I saw that this person was in his forties, with a Chinese face, and his temperament was quite not angry and arrogant.

After Xiang Chengxian turned around, he saw clearly the person behind him who was questioning, as if he had been choked by the throat, and screamed: "Uncle, uncle, uncle!" ”

Uncle? Fang Yingwu suddenly understood that he Xiang Chengxian had an uncle named Xiang Wentai who participated in politics from Sanpin in Fujian. The person in front of him had an official face, and he must be Lord Xiang Wentai Xiang, but he suddenly appeared here for some reason.

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Yingwu guessed that Xiang Cheng's participation in politics was due to return to Beijing to report on his work, because he was a fellow villager with his own family, so of course he had to come to visit and walk around. Then he happened to bump into Xiang Dagongzi

Looking at Xiang Chengxian sympathetically, Fang Yingwu gave Xiang a junior salute to Xiang Zhengzheng, and then said very considerately: "Don't disturb Lord Xiang's family affairs in the later life, if you need any utensils for the family law, just find my family." ”

Immediately, Fang Yingwu flashed into the study and closed the door that made Xiang Dagongzi desperate. (To be continued......)
