Chapter 220: The First Rank Decree 27
After three rounds of drinking, all the people who gather are readers, and poetry is an indispensable entertainment activity. Especially Qi Yuan, who is at the top of the list. The banquet became more and more lively.
However, this excitement obviously does not belong to Yucai Academy's move this year. Gao Yao, who stopped Tan Che to do his hands and feet during the township test, could only sit at the bottom at this time.
Their literary talent is limited, so they are just messing around in the academy, and when they wait for the imperial examination, they will spend a sum of money to buy policy theories, and then they can barely mix up with people if they are lucky, and they can also operate and become a magistrate.
And among these strategies that can be bought with money, Tan Che is the most valuable. At the beginning, those strategies made many people get lifted, and I heard that there were even those who won the Jinshi.
Gao Yao drank a glass of sake to suppress the apprehension and fear in his heart, and looked at the two people surrounded by the examiners, and the original arrogance and contempt were not at all.
He only felt that every moment at the Luming Banquet was really difficult now.
Now that Tan Che has been promoted, there is a more outstanding Liang Cai, and the entire Yucai Academy students who have a good relationship between the two have heard of it. At the beginning, Liang Cai was kicked out of the academy, but Tan Che was sent alone.
If these two people are re-elected to the Jinshi and become officials in Beijing, if they come into contact with their former classmates, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be exposed, and Gao Yao said that when Tan Che successfully entered the examination room, they became the first to be exposed.
Gao Yao was scared after just a little thought, and couldn't help but take another sip of sake, if things weren't right, these few of them who planted Tan Che would be the first to die anyway.
Gao Yao really didn't dare to think about it, so he could only hope that Tan Che and the others would be defeated after the beginning of spring.
Gao Yao looked at the two people in front of him, who were also the people who participated in planting and buying the strategy. Gao Yao also saw the fear in their pretended calm eyes.
"Brother Gao, Liang Jieyuan is writing poems and discussing with the lifters, I remember that Liang Jieyuan and Tan Yayuan seem to be students of Yucai Academy, why don't you talk together, Brother Gao?" The next seater raised his wine glass and was about to go over to compose a poem and talk, and when he saw Gao Yao, he said casually.
But this casual mention made Gao Yao and the three of them almost throw the wine glass in their hands.
"Senior brother?"
"We are a little drunk, so as not to lose our temper, we will not go, even if we are students from the same academy, it is okay to get together another day." Gao Yao smiled reluctantly and said perfunctorily.
The next seater nodded, then walked towards the crowd.
Qi Yuan looked at the three people in the corner and smiled, it seemed that they were not very bold. I wonder how many people in this academy are involved?
Everyone drank until late at night before leaving, Qi Yuan drank the most wine, but he was the most sober one, but in order to cooperate, he showed a little drunk.
Qi Yuan helped Tan Che, and the two staggered out of the door, and the prefect arranged a carriage to send the two back to the courtyard.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Tan Che vomited, and when he saw the Tan family helping Tan Che back to the room, Qi Yuan smiled when he saw Wang Hanwei's worried eyes.
took Wang Hanwei's wet handkerchief, wiped his face, and walked back to the room with steady steps.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Anyuan County for a while." Qi Yuan sat down, and Wang Hanwei took the sobering tea and handed it over.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Hanwei frowned and sat opposite Qi Yuan and asked.
"It's fine, but the people from the academy will find trouble for us." Qi Yuan drank the sobering tea and replied.
"But didn't you say that the academy wouldn't do it? I can't take care of it when I go back to Anyuan County Academy, right? Wang Hanwei was a little puzzled.
"It's true that the academy won't do anything, but when they go back to Anyuan County, the Wang family is a trouble they can take advantage of." As soon as Qi Yuan finished speaking, there was movement in the courtyard.
Wang Hanwei was thinking about the Wang family, and then saw Qi Yuan open the door and walk into the courtyard. I didn't care about thinking about things now, and hurriedly followed Qi Yuan.
"People from the Academy?" Qi Yuan looked at the people lying in the courtyard and looked at 888.
888 nodded, "It should be someone sent to keep an eye on it." I heard that the road back to Anyuan County has not been peaceful recently, and a group of fleeing bandits have disappeared in the area of Anyuan County. ”
Wang Hanwei covered her mouth in fright when she heard this, and Tang, who heard the movement, also walked out with Xiaolan's support.
Tan Che, who was still drunk and unconscious just now, also walked out with clear eyes at this time.
"Sure enough, as Brother Liang expected, those few people who used the strategy to get into the rush of the Jinshi." Tan Che drank too much wine and still couldn't stand steadily at this time, and Tan's father helped Tan Che.
Qi Yuan nodded, "They won't be willing to lose their officials, rather than letting us into Beijing, it is safer to let us die."
The academy will not risk killing, but the people sent by the capital are also on the way, and the academy only needs to provide their whereabouts at that time. ”
"What does Brother Liang think we should do? Do you want to go directly to the prefect? Tan Che frowned.
Qi Yuan shook his head, "We still don't know what is involved, and the prefect may not be willing to participate in it."
Besides, if they can make up their minds to kill, it must be the prison at today's banquet. ”
"Brother Liang suspects that there are people among the examiners?" Tan Che was surprised.
"Lord Zhang is the chief examiner sent by the capital, and the examiner should have no problem, maybe it is an inconspicuous examination room personnel such as the supervisor." Qi Yuan looked at the people lying in the courtyard, and then looked up at the sky.
"I have already asked Mr. Zhang during the banquet today, and Mr. Zhang will leave for Beijing in three days, and we will go with the examiner who has returned to Beijing."
Tan Che thought about it for a while and nodded, whether they left or not, those people would find a way to force them to go.
It's better to follow Mr. Zhang who returned to Beijing, those people can't directly do it to the examiner who returned to Beijing.
"And these people?" 888 pointed to the person lying on the ground and looked at Qi Yuan.
"Throw it in the corner, knock it out when you wake up, and wait until dawn to buy the dry rations you need, and buy a carriage."
Qi Yuan raised his sleeves and yawned, Tan Che nodded, and everyone went back to the room to continue resting.
Only 888 was left sitting alone in the courtyard and watching the fainting people.
"Da, you don't have any drugs?" 888 held his chin and said to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan rolled over on the ground, "Yes, but I won't give it to you." ”
888:!! Why?
"Don't you know that drugs are controlled by the government? I'm a reader who knows what drugs are. Qi Yuan was reluctant and patient to explain.
"Don't worry, they'll have to sleep more than one night with that punch."
888 still wanted to speak, but a familiar shielding sound came to his mind.
888: No, Boss, are you kidding me?? If you can get dizzy all night, why do you want it to keep it?
888 angrily stood up and was about to go back to his room, but soon felt the breath of approaching.
888 sat in the dark of the courtyard, and the dark skit on his body blended with the night.
"They're not good, they're startling." The masked man in black muffled his voice and said to his companion before turning to leave.
