"Whether it is a township examination or a general examination, during the examination, it is strictly forbidden for the examiner and the student's relatives to meet in private, let alone teach and receive privately. Although this flower list is not a township test in the strict sense, because of its great significance, the examiner still has to avoid suspicion. ”

Yan Du rushed up and stopped in front of several scholars and county officials.

Several Xuezheng and Nawen County Commanders were stunned for a moment at Yan Dusk, who suddenly appeared, and then looked at him.

"Who are you? Well, there are no rules! Wen County Ling stepped forward and asked.

Yan Du looked at the county order of Nawen, his eyes were sharp, with a bit of majesty.

Wen County Commander was shocked by this momentum, and looked at Yan Dui again, thinking about who this person was, but he didn't take him as a county order.

"I'm Mr. Mid-Levels Academy." Yan Du said.

"Mid-levels Academy?" Wen Xianling was stunned again, "It's not closed yet?" ”

"Today, five students from our college came to participate in the flower list, and three were eliminated due to academic inaccuracy, which is nothing to say. But the other two were eliminated, which really made me unconvinced, and I asked Lord Xuezheng and Wen County Ling to give me an explanation. Yan Du straightened his waist and said.

Is this questioning them?

The faces of several Xuezheng sank suddenly, they came from Yangzhou Mansion, the rank is in the sixth grade, it can be said that they are local officials, ordinary people see them, which one is not respectful, but the so-called teacher in front of him is much tougher than them, as if he is the one who sits in a high position.

Seeing that many students and tourists were looking at this, Wen County Ling lowered his voice and said, "Don't make trouble here and ruin the reputation of my Zhushui County." ”

"Why make a big fuss about the Wenxian order, I just want an explanation."

"You don't have to be in front of so many people."

"What's so unsightly?"

Wen Xianling frowned, this person is really soft and hard. Seeing more people coming around, he wanted to take a few Xuezheng adults to bypass this person, but he moved two more steps and continued to stop them.

"Wen County's order is like this, it seems that he is a bit of a thief, right?"

Liu Yunxiang was not far away, knowing that Yan Duan was really angry, aggressive, and didn't save any face for this county order. She wanted to go up and persuade her, but she thought of the old man Bai, if she was forced to do so, she would not have kidnapped the Three Treasures and forced her and Yan Dui to come here.

And since they are here, some shady scenes should be revealed.

Seeing that he couldn't drive Yan Du away, Wen County Ling had to ask, "What are the names of your two students?" ”

Yan Du replied in a deep voice: "Fang Wanjin and Xie Si." ”

Hearing this, Wen County Ling looked back at a few Xuezheng adults, and then said: "Fang Wanjin is the third eldest of the Fang family, his family is in the inn business in the county, and he is a businessman." ”

"Yes, but since business students are allowed to participate in the flower list, it means that he and others have an equal chance to enter the top three, right?"

Wen Xian Ling shook his head, "No, he is a businessman, even if he gets the top three, it is useless for him, and it is a loss for others." ”

"I can't ...... that"

"Unless you have the ability to ask the imperial court to change the law, you can also participate in the imperial examination."

Yan Dusk: "......"

Wen Xian Ling sighed, "Fang Wanjin is still talented, just like Xu Jingyu that year, but Xu Jingyu's tragedy, don't do it again." ”

Yan Du pursed his lips, "What about Xie Si, he performed very well just now, better than your son, but the final result was that he was kicked out, and your son entered the top three." Everyone can see that if you don't have an explanation, you will inevitably be suspected of bribery. ”

"I came here to arrange the elegant gathering, and I did not participate in the flower list, and you can testify to me. As for what you said that my son is not as good as that Xie Si but is on the list, let's ask the students to give an explanation. ”

Saying that, Wen Xian Ling and Yan Du looked at those Xuezheng together.

The leader was a white-bearded old man, and when he saw Wen County's order and the two of them looking at them, he said in a deep voice: "We were ordered to take the main exam to play the flower list, and there are no violations, and we are very angry about your questioning." ”

Yan Du spread his hands: "So, where did Xie Si lose?" ”

"He and Wen Qing can be said to be equal, as for why Wen Qing was chosen instead of him, because he is a farmer and an industrialist, the heirs of the official eunuch family do have an advantage, this is not a bending of the law for personal gain, but from the township test to the meeting test to the palace test, it has always been like this."

"How did I not know there was such a rule?"

"If you are still not satisfied, you can go to Yangzhou Mansion to sue me, I am not afraid of shadows."

After speaking, the old Xuezheng took a few other young people and walked out.

Wen Xian Ling followed, thought of something, and stopped to look at Yan Dui, "Like you said, in fact, this official can let the dog give up this quota in order to protect his reputation, but for the dog and the official, it is not unfair." ”

Wen Xian Ling glanced at Yan Du deeply, and then went to chase those Xuezheng.

Liu Yunxiang sighed and walked to Yan Dui's side, "That's it, let's go back first." ”

Originally, I thought that no matter what the result was, I would definitely let these five children have a good time, but now I am still in the mood. Fang Wanjin was okay, after venting, he still had no heart or lungs, but Xie Si was depressed. Liu Yunxiang and Yan Du talked to him a lot, and he didn't seem to listen to a word.

Back on the boat to shore, Xie Si said he wanted to go home for one night.

Liu Yunxiang asked Fang Wanjin to send him back, "You enlighten him more on the way." ”

Fang Wanjin cut off, "What can't he figure out, he can't play the flower list, there are also township tests and Enke, there are always many opportunities, how can it be like me...... Forget it, the master doesn't care. ”

Fang Wanjin waved his hand and pushed Xie Si in the direction of his house.

"Master, Xie Si's father died of illness, and there was only his mother and a grandmother at home. Xie Si wanted to give up his studies several times, and he was pressed with a heavy stone in his heart. Bamboo said.

"I see."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and let the three of them meet in the academy first.

"That Wenxian order mentioned Xu Jingyu, I learned from Fang Wanjin that he used to study in the Mid-Levels Academy, and he was the most proud student of Old Man Bai, I was wondering if we could check from here to see why Old Man Bai asked us to come here."

Yan Du narrowed his eyes, "This student seems to be amazing. ”

"Hmm."

The two discussed it for a while and decided to go to Xu's house again.

When he turned into the alley of his house, he saw that the women were drying the incense tray, and a young girl came out, and when she saw the two of them, she hesitated for a moment, then recognized it, and hurriedly put down the incense tray in her hand and ran over.

"Why are you here again?"

Liu Yunxiang also recognized her as the second girl of the Xu family, and said, "We want to know about your brother." ”

"Hurry up, don't trouble my family!"

The girl was afraid that her mother would see her, so she waved her hands and drove them away.

Liu Yunxiang said helplessly: "Mr. Bai asked us to come, we have to know what happened before we can help your family or your brother, right?" ”
