Zhu Fengbiao, who had been dismissed from the Ministry of Households, was unable to walk weakly, or Cheng Tinggui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Households, helped Cheng Tinggui out of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Fengbiao's face was pale, and his eyes were starlessly stepping on empty steps, if it wasn't for Cheng Tinggui pulling hard, I am afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

"Tong Xuan, concentrate on it, the emperor just said that he was waiting for the investigation, it was not a big deal, just relax." Weng comforted.

"Hehe," Zhu Fengbiao was about to speak, and his most hated voice sounded in his ears recently, Zhu Fengbiao came back to his senses, shook off Weng Xincun, straightened up suddenly, the frustration on his face turned into a fighting spirit, he glared in the direction where he came with a sneer, "What, Su Lao Liu, are you looking at the jokes of this official?" ”

Su Shun is in front of Zhu Fengbiao Weng in front of the left of the two of them, and Duanhua and Su Shun are still standing proudly looking at this side on the side, the two iron-hat princes hold their own identities, and they have always looked down on these Han people who have dropped their bookbags all day long, this time I saw Zhu Fengbiao who lost his soul, it was inevitable that he would have a look of disdain, Su Shunfu smiled again, at this time, there were already many ministers who stopped and looked towards this side, Su Shun casually folded back the sleeves of the horse's hooves, "Lord Zhu is very anxious, how, Hearing that the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Shuntianfu Township Test, were you afraid? Even a worm will turn? ”

"You?" Zhu Fengbiao felt that the blood was surging up on his head, "It's insulting!" What can the emperor do if he investigates this matter thoroughly," Zhu Fengbiao calmed down, and the bearing of the literati showed again, Zhu Fengbiao straightened out his official uniform, and disdained Su Shun's provocation, "Zhongtang and this official maintain their innocence, even if they find out something, at most it is only a crime of negligence." The subtext in the words is: Su Lao Liu, just by virtue of this matter, you can't defeat us!

Su Shun's face darkened, "Master Zhu is so confident, let's ride a donkey and read the record book." Let's see," Su Shun flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave, and Zhu Fengbiao saw Su Shun's face. For a while, the frustration faded a lot, and he was about to say something more, when Zhang Jing, a military aircraft outside, hurriedly walked in from the palace gate, and after saluting Duanhua Zaiyuan, he quickly said something to Chen Fuen, the secretary of the criminal department. Su Shun listened attentively for a while, the original angry expression on the side disappeared without a trace, and the expression of smugness that made people itch with hatred appeared on his face again, Su Shun laughed, and didn't care that he was still in front of the emperor's Qinzheng Palace, turned around and said to Zhu Fengbiao, who didn't know why: "So that Lord Zhu knows that just a moment ago, Lord Bai Junzhongtang, who was very innocent, tied up a house slave and surrendered himself in the lobby of the Criminal Department, saying that the discipline was not strict." caused the house slaves to cheat, hehe," Su Shun began to sneer again, "Lord Zhu, how is it now?" ”

Zhu Fengbiao seemed to have been struck by lightning, and under the agitation of his mood, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and with a sound in front of his eyes, there seemed to be Huang Zhong Dalu in his mind who was vibrating back and forth, and he couldn't help it anymore. Collapsed to the ground.

When Bai Jun returned to the mansion tiredly, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and Rao was like this, there were still guests in the mansion. Knowing that it was someone who came, Bai Jun didn't change his clothes, and went directly to the swordsman's flower hall, as soon as he entered the living room, Zhu Fengbiao, who was originally sitting in his position silently, and Cheng Tinggui, the right attendant of the household department, who was also the deputy chief examiner, stood up together. Zhu Fengbiao saw Bai Jun's gloomy expression, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Tinggui again, and before Bai Jun could sit down, Cheng Tinggui spoke: "Lord Zhongtang, the news in Beijing has spread, saying that Lord Zhongtang has kidnapped a house slave and went to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment......"

"Exactly, Jin Xiang was entrusted by someone to come to the old man to talk about it, but I didn't expect the old man to fall into it in order to take care of the so-called face among his colleagues," Bai Jun smiled bitterly, the two of them couldn't hear it clearly, but Bai Jun didn't have the extra energy to explain, "But this matter has nothing to do with you and others, just obey orders with peace of mind, I'm afraid it's necessary to reprimand," Bai Jun picked up the tea and prepared to send off the guests, "From tomorrow, the old man has to think about it behind closed doors, and you don't have to come again, it's man-made, but you also have to listen to the destiny of heaven, We've done what we need to do, just look at the providence. ”

On 26 November, Bojun of Wenhuadian University personally escorted Jin Xiang to the lobby of the Criminal Department to surrender himself, and Jin Xiang confessed to the crime he had committed.

Luo Hongyi is a native of Yangchun County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong, with a solid family background, and spent money to donate money to the position of chief minister, and was arranged to the Criminal Department. In the Qing Dynasty, it was okay to spend money to buy officials, but after all, it was a head lower than those who entered the official career through the imperial examination, and the development prospects were not optimistic. In order to lay the foundation for future promotion, Luo Hongyi decided to participate in this year's Shuntian Township Test.

In June of the same year, Luo Hongyi went to the Criminal Department to serve, and in July of that year, Luo Hongyi visited Li Heling, a fellow villager who was an official in the capital, and said that he intended to participate in this scientific examination.

Li Heling, who thought that he would be selected as the same examiner, was not selected in the end, so he asked for help from Urayasu, who was promoted in the same year as him and is now the same examiner, and his friend came to ask for help in the same year, and Urayasu had to take the slip and promised to help as much as possible.

When grading, Pu Yasu found that a test paper was exactly the same as the words of the strip, but the article was written very generally, and it did not meet the admission standards.

After discussion, the chief examiner Bai Ye and the two deputy examiners decided to put the paper on the sub-list and set it as a preparation paper. The sub-list is a place outside the main list, and if there are unqualified candidates in the main list, the sub-list can be substituted, but there are not many opportunities for this. Urayasu saw that the recommended candidates were put into the sub-list, and he felt very shameless. Just when he was depressed, it happened that Bai Ye's servant Jin Xiang was ordered by his master to inform him of this, so Pu Yasu begged him to propose to Bai Ye that he must admit the test paper.

Jin Xiang has followed Bai Ye for many years, and he is clever and sharp, which is very appreciated by Bai Ye. This time he presided over the Shuntian exam, Bai Ye took him into the entrance to accompany him, and after he went back, Jin Xiang suggested to Bai Ye, saying that Pu An only recommended one test paper, and it was best to admit him. After thinking about it again and again, in order not to refute the face of his colleagues, Bai Ye agreed to withdraw the test paper and replace it with Luo Hongyi's. The list was shown, and Luo Hong won the 238th place.

After being admitted, the child should "express" to the person who helped him, which is also an unspoken rule, and even because it is well known, it has almost become an explicit rule. But Luo Hongyi only cared about being immersed in the joy of the middle lift, and had no intention of expressing it.

Li Heling took the initiative to go to Luo Hongyi and ask for five hundred taels of silver. Luo Hongyi saw that he really couldn't hide, and he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he sent him five hundred taels of silver. Li Heling was obsessed with money and kept all the silver for himself.

According to tradition, after the middle school is raised, the scholar will visit the examiner who admitted him and the examiner of the subject. At the beginning of October, Luo Hongyi first came to visit Urayasu. He thought that he had already given five hundred taels of silver, and Li Heling would definitely share it equally with Pu An, so he only brought ten taels of silver to Pu An, and three taels of silver to Pu An's attendants.

After that, Luo Hongyi came to visit the examiner Bai Ye's house and presented 16 taels of silver and 6 taels of silver. After worshipping the dock, Luo Hongyi felt that he could taste the happiness of lifting people with peace of mind. But it didn't end there. Pu An felt that he was busy with his work, and he only got thirteen taels of silver, which undoubtedly became a big wrong, so he went to Li Heling to find an excuse that he was in urgent need of money, and took three hundred taels of benefits from it.
