After tossing for more than half a month, the carriage and horse finally arrived in Qianjun, Jiangnan.

Yang Leyu felt as if she had been run over by a car, and she felt that she was about to fall apart if she moved a little. The road was as bumpy as the last time I went to Yungang, and it took longer than that time.

Fortunately, when I arrived in Qianjun, the spring flowers were blooming here, and I could wear new clothes.

Wu Nong's soft language came from the market of Qianjun, this tone is familiar to Yang Leyu, because Wu Buyue's hometown is Jiangsu, although she speaks Mandarin on weekdays, but the local accent is always hidden from time to time, if you bring her here, you should be very happy.

The carriages and horses were slowly marching through the alleys, and suddenly they saw a group of people rushing in one direction.

Yang Leyu wondered: "Could it be that there is a big promotion?" ”

Mu Chengzhou lifted the curtain and looked, "It's the gold list that has opened." ”

The golden list is an annual student who squeezes his head like entering, and the imperial examination can change the trajectory of life, which is similar to the modern college entrance examination.

"Let's see?" Yang Leyu was a little interested.

Mu Chengzhou smiled slightly and led her into the crowd.

I saw a gold list with many names written on it, and the top three were the champion, Tanhua and Bangyan. The career of these three in the future can be imagined to go smoothly.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd started fighting, causing a lot of boiling.

A poor scholar smashed a book at a rich kid, "It's all because you hurt me, I can't be on the list!" Bought Mr. Examiner! The position of Tanhua should be me! ”

The rich man's entourage picked up his neck and slapped him in the face: "Why do you talk to my young master?!" I don't have the ability to pass the test, and I'm full of nonsense! ”

The poor scholar was beaten and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he still didn't give up, "It's all because you hurt our poor children that have no way out, that is, they want all the corrupt officials in the world to make a fortune, and they don't let us have a chance to live!" ”

Rich man: "Dare to talk nonsense!" Beat me up! ”

After speaking, the little guys swarmed up and punched and kicked the poor scholars.

Gan Tang whispered: "Miss, who is the rich man?" ”

Chapter 54

Yang Leyu shook his head, and Mu Chengzhou said: "Look at the belt hanging around his waist, it must be the son of the Qianjun Wailang family." ”

Seeing that the group of people was fighting inexorably, and the people around him didn't dare to come forward to persuade him, Yang Leyu took the initiative to squeeze over, pull away those small guys, and protect the poor scholars.

"Stop fighting! Otherwise, who would dare to take care of people's lives? Yang Leyu picked up the scholar who was covered in blood.

The little guy crossed his waist and said: "My young master is the only son of Du Yuanwai, where did you come from?" Could it be that this poor boy is a good friend? ”

Yang Leyu had an idea: "I am Master Mu's maid." ”

Mu Chengzhou frowned when he heard this, and shouted coldly to the little guy: "Get out." ”

The little servants turned their fingers at him, but seeing that he was dressed for a lot of money, they looked at their young master for advice.

The rich family squinted at Mu Chengzhou, and his tone was a little thoughtful, "Your Excellency is a foreigner, right?" It's better to take care of the affairs of our Qianxian County. ”

When the two faced each other, Yang Leyu took the opportunity to push the scholar aside and asked Gan Tang to find a doctor for him to heal.

Mu Chengzhou chuckled: "It seems that Qianjun is a monkey acting as the king of the mountain and has become the territory of the Du family." ”

Rich family: "Yes, this young master will not change his name or change his surname, Du Kang is also." For the sake of your excellency, who is also a clear-sighted man, I will no longer worry about the poor boy today. ”

He pointed at the scholar, "Zhang Qi, you have to slander Young Master Ben again, otherwise you will have to beat you all over the ground to find teeth, so that you will have no chance with your career from now on!" ”

After finishing speaking, he led the small servants away.

Zhang Qi gritted his teeth and stared at his back and coughed a few times.

Yang Leyu felt that it was not good to stay in the middle of the city, so he first went to the mansion arranged by Jiang Ben in Qianjun in advance with the big guy, specially set up a room for Zhang Qi, and after the doctor prescribed a few flavors of Chinese medicine, he asked Gan Tang to fry them.

Zhang Qi stood up with his arms and waved at Yang Leyu, "Thank you girl for saving me, please wait for the doctor's money and I will return it to you later." ”

Yang Leyu waved his hand, glanced at Mu Chengzhou, and smiled: "It's okay, it's my lord's money anyway." My lord is helpful, so you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Zhang Qi thanked him again and again, and said: "Blame me for trying again and again, making such a joke, which makes you strangers laugh." ”

Yang Leyu: "I heard you just say that Young Master Du bought the examiner?" Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Qi immediately raised his spirits, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I'm pretty sure, it was the examiner who accepted bribes, tampered with the test papers, and swapped Du Kang and me!" ”

Mu Chengzhou: "What evidence?" ”

Zhang Qi pondered for a long time and lamented: "As Gongzi said, his father Du Yuanwai is the king of the mountains of Qianxian County, and all of our officials in Qianxian County flatter him. Since he took office, it has been difficult for me to be on the list, let alone enter the top three. If you want evidence, you can only go to the homes of ordinary people everywhere to inquire, and there are no people who are not insulting. ”

When Yang Leyu heard this, he remembered the entrustment of the dirty old man in the dungeon, so he whispered to Mu Chengzhou: "I can sneak into the enemy to find out the truth." ”

Mu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows, "How did you sneak in?" ”

Yang Leyu thought about capturing the thief and capturing the king first, if you want to dig deeper, you must move it with emotion and reason, to put it bluntly -

Play a play!

As for the success or failure of this play, it depends on whether Mu Chengzhou cooperates.

.

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawning, three figures appeared at the gate of Du's mansion, two women and one man.

Yang Leyu gave Gan Tang a look, and Gan Tang immediately pushed her out.

Yang Leyu fell on the stone steps at the gate of the house with an "oops", crying: "Master! You shouldn't fall in love with that slut even if you don't like a little girl! ”

As soon as she said this, she attracted the attention of the family at the gate of Du's mansion.

Mu Chengzhou's scalp tightened, and he still hugged Gan Tang's shoulder quite cooperatively, "I've had enough of a jealous woman like you, or Tang'er is gentle and lovely, you go, don't come to me again." ”

Yang Leyu squeezed out the 'tears' that had dripped in her eyes in advance, and said in a heartbroken voice: "Tang'er, you and I are sisters, do you really bear to let the master abandon me in a foreign land?" ”

Gan Tang watched her concubine work hard to act, and was also forced to enter the play: "Yu'er, although you and I are sisters, I am still on the master's side." Die or live, you can earn your own living. ”

Yang Leyu quietly observed the reaction of the Du Mansion family, and then squeezed his eyes at the two, and Mu Chengzhou took Gantang and walked away.

Yang Leyu coughed violently a few times and spit out a puddle of fruit pulp that had been held in his mouth in advance, which frightened the family.

"Go back to Gongzi, there's a woman here who is dying!" The family hurried into the house.

After a while, Du Kang came out, and when he saw that Yang Leyu was the one who made a righteous move yesterday, he frowned: "Aren't you the maid of the old man?" Why did you fall at my doorstep? ”

Yang Leyu pretended to be weak, "Young Master Du, my master has abandoned me, and he cruelly threw me in a foreign land. If the young master doesn't dislike it, I can enter the mansion to serve the young master, and I just ask the young master to provide me with a place to stay, even if I don't have a monthly salary. ”
