"Brother Lin, what are you doing in Jingzhao Mansion?" Shao Jiacheng asked puzzled.

Wan Lin said with full dignity: "I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion to ask An Yushu what nonsense is he talking about?" I can't let him mess around and not respond. ”

Wan Zhang clapped his hands in agreement, "Yes, Brother Lin should do this!" What are we talking for? It's to defend yourself when you are wronged! ”

Shao Jiacheng also agreed with Wan Lin's approach and said resolutely: "That's right! Although the body is not afraid of the shadow, we can't let people criticize the misunderstanding without explaining. I hate that some people think they are kind and generous, and they don't explain when they are misunderstood, and they have to deepen the misunderstanding and aggravate the grievances, so they come out to speak in a fake way, such people are really angry! ”

The reason why Wan Lin Wanzhang has become a close friend with Shao Jiacheng now is because of his free and easy character.

This is Shao Jiacheng's biggest advantage.

Hearing that Wan Zhang and Shao Jiacheng supported him so much, Wan Lin's heart was already much happier.

Uncle Zhao saw that Shao Jiacheng's carriage had turned around, and immediately said to Fu Xiaojiu: "Madam, the carriage of the Shao family has turned around." ”

Fu Xiaojiu lifted the curtain suspiciously, instantly understood the intentions of the people in the car, and said without thinking: "Let's follow them." ”

As soon as the two carriages stopped at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, the official guarding the door felt that something was wrong, and one of the officials hurriedly ran in to report to Jingzhaoyin.

Another guard saw Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu getting off the carriage, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Yo, Wan Huiyuan, Fu Langzhong, why are you here?"

Wan Lin said calmly: "We are here to let Jing Zhaoyin make decisions for us. I'll follow the procedure and beat the drum first. ”

Wan Lin was about to beat the drum, but the official stopped him, "No, no, if you find an adult, just come in!" ”

Wan Lin insisted: "No, I can't break the rules." ”

Wan Lin insisted on beating the drum, but the official didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he had to let him pick up the drumstick.

The drum of grievances must be beaten, and it must be beaten with full momentum, otherwise how can it have an eye-catching effect.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The sonorous and powerful drums reached not only Jing Zhaoyin's ears, but also the ears of the people on the entire street.

"Why is the drum sounding again?"

"I just saw two carriages arrive at the gate of the county government."

"There's news! The person who beats the drum is Wan Lin Wan Hui Yuan! This time it's a good show! ”

People's enthusiasm for gossip was even higher than just now, and after Wan Lin finished beating the drum, there was a circle of people at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

Fu Xiaojiu and the others looked back and were startled by the crowd of onlookers behind them with gossip smiles on their faces.

Fu Xiaojiu raised his forehead and whispered to Nianzhen: "It's really not a big deal to see the excitement, but it's good to have so many people to testify!" ”

The group all followed Wan Lin into the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Yin was already sitting in the hall, waiting for them above the lobby.

"I've seen my lord!"

Everyone said in unison.

Wan Lin, Wan Zhang, and Shao Jiacheng didn't have to kneel, Fu Xiaojiu helped Nianzhen and was about to kneel, Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said: "Fu Langzhong, don't kneel for the two of you." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen blessed their bodies, and Fu Xiaojiu helped Nianzhen to stand aside.

Jing Zhaoyin asked at this time, "Wan Huiyuan, why are you here?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin asked knowingly again, and he looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already beating the drum in his heart.

Fortunately, the king of Zhenbei was not in the capital, otherwise if the king of Zhenbei knew about this, he would have to be angry with thunder, and he might be angry on his head.

After Jing Zhaoyin asked, he quietly helped the black yarn on his head.

Wan Lin didn't show any excitement, his expression was relatively calm, but there was a faint grievance in his eyes, and he arched his hand to Jing Zhaoyin: "Please make the decision for the grass people!" The grass people heard that An Yushu had just come to sue the grass people and the king of Zhenbei, saying that the king of Zhenbei had leaked the test questions to the grass people, and the grass people were self-proof of their innocence. ”

Jing Zhaoyin knew that gossip spread relatively quickly in the capital, but he never thought that it would be so fast.

Jing Zhao Yin stiffened and smiled, "Hehe, Wan Huiyuan, if you are here for this, you don't have to." That An Yushu was full of nonsense, crazy, the official didn't pay attention to him at all, let the officials beat him out, if he still dared to make trouble, the official would arrest him in prison and convict him of false accusation! ”

Although Jing Zhaoyin's mind is sober and he can tell right from wrong, Wan Lin still has to defend himself and King Zhenbei for a few words.

"Thank you, Lord for believing in the grass people and the king of Zhenbei. But the grass people still have a few words to say. The grass people and the king of Zhenbei do have a personal relationship, but the king of Zhenbei is honest and upright, and he can't do anything to leak the test questions for the grass people no matter what. If anyone suspects, the imperial court can send someone to check, fraud and leaking test questions is a crime of killing the head, even if the king of Zhenbei has outstanding military achievements, he cannot be extrajudicial to show mercy. My lord, please report this matter to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment, so that those who question can be convinced! ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and persuaded Jing Zhaoyin again: "Please check!" ”

Wan Zhang and Shao Jiacheng also echoed in unison: "Please check!" ”

Kyung almost slipped off his chair and fell to the ground again.

He didn't eat the heart of a bear and a leopard, and he didn't lose his mind, how could he report something unfounded to the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department?

Once the matter of favoritism and leakage of test questions is investigated, it is not only the matter of one or two people, there is no conclusive evidence, just listen to An Yushu's empty mouth and white teeth, no matter who it is, it is impossible to toss like this.

Jing Zhaoyin regretted it very much, he should have given An Yushu dozens of boards just now, so that he could keep in mind the lesson of telling right and wrong.

"No, no, Wan Huiyuan, the official just said that An Yushu's crazy words are simply jealousy, and there is no real evidence at all. And this official also believes in the people of Zhenbei Wang and Wan Huiyuan, not to mention that this time the examination room suddenly caught fire, no one expected that the third exam would be re-examined, and it is even more impossible to say that the test questions were leaked. ”

After Jing Zhaoyin finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he wanted to quickly invite Wan Lin and the others out, so the matter was over.

Wan Lin heard Jing Zhaoyin's words, of course he would not force Jing Zhaoyin to report this matter, Wan Lin had already achieved the desired goal.

"My lord, you are really the master of the blue sky, and the grass people thank you for your trust!"

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Jing Zhaoyin.

Everyone else also bowed down to Jing Zhaoyin to thank him, and Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly said, "You don't need to thank this official, this official is just acting impartially." Wan Huiyuan, you just passed the exam, and you should report to your family, so don't delay here. This official wishes you the title of the gold list after the palace examination! ”

Jing Zhao Yin also arched his hand at Wan Lin, Wan Lin said "Thank you, my lord", and led everyone out of the gate of Jing Zhao Mansion.

Those who were guarding the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to watch the excitement heard the conversation between Wan Lin and Jing Zhaoyin, although they didn't really hear it, but they also listened to it roughly.

If you want to say that An Yushu really has evidence to sue, he will not escape with his daughter-in-law so embarrassed, and everyone understands in their hearts that An Yushu is most likely because of jealousy and spilling dirty water.

If Wan Lin has a ghost in his heart, he will not come to make trouble once, in case he really makes trouble and goes to the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department to investigate this matter, even if it is the king of Zhenbei, he will be punished according to law.

So Wan Lin's fuss really succeeded in guiding the speech, and those who used to stand on An Yushu's side changed their minds, saying that An Yushu was narrow-minded and despicable.

As soon as Wan Lin and the others came out of Jingzhao Mansion, Wan Lin immediately felt refreshed, and Fu Xiaojiu also felt very relieved.

Before noon, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor knew about this "farce" caused by An Yushu.

The emperor Long Yan was furious and shouted that he wanted to get rid of all the fame of An Yushu, but it was the elder of the Yuan Pavilion and the right minister Wu Xuehai who persuaded him that the emperor did not really do so.

The emperor also understood that it was not easy for An Yushu to gain fame in the examination, so he gave him a chance and didn't bother with him.

But the emperor also grieved for Wan Lin and King Zhenbei, and decided to find an opportunity to comfort Wan Lin in the future.

The emperor can't wait to see what kind of character Wan Lin is when he takes the palace test, if Wan Lin is really knowledgeable and amazing, even if Wan Lin can't get the top three, the emperor also plans to give Wan Lin an official who can stay in Beijing.

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu didn't know what the emperor was planning, but Fu Xiaojiu also decided, no matter what the result was, she would take her whole family to settle down in the capital.

The young couple discussed it for a while and decided not to tell the family about Wanlin's success in Huiyuan, because the palace exam would be held three days later, and the family would finish the exam before they received the letter hall.

The two planned to tell the family the final result, and at that time, they would let Wan Pozi and them move directly.

Three days later, on the day of the palace test, all the tributes burned incense and bathed the day before, and they were allowed to meet the emperor in their best clothes.

In fact, they said that they were in the Jinluan Palace, showing their talents in front of the Son of Heaven, but they couldn't look up at the emperor.

Unless the title of the gold list is inscribed, standing in front of the emperor as the top three can have a chance to see Long Yan clearly.

Wan Lin, Wan Zhang, and Shao Jia were all dressed before dawn, and the palace test lasted for most of the day, and they didn't dare to eat and drink more, so they only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and set off.

All the tributes should be gathered at the palace gate on the south side to wait, and the inner attendants should take them directly to the Jinluan Palace.

Before entering the hall, you must be carefully searched by the chamberlain.

It took two hours from the time they started from home to the time they actually stepped into the Jinluan Palace, but everyone didn't feel tired, either excited or nervous.

For the sake of fairness, the seat numbers are not arranged according to the ranking, Wan Lin's seat number is in the back position, and there is no acquaintance among the surrounding tributes.

During the palace test, the tributes did not need to bring anything, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared in the palace.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With the shouts of the inner attendants, all the tributes bowed respectfully to the ground, nervously and excitedly waiting to receive the review of the Son of Heaven.
