217 Lawlessness
Han Chengxuan and Fu Ruwei are playing in the mountains and rivers, and Wu Bing, the superintendent of Jiangxi, is working seriously.
How does it work?
Of course, you make money by presiding over exams!
In April, Nanchang Prefecture Provincial Examination.
The night before the test, Wu Bing, as the chief examiner, was still inspecting the work of the largest green building in Fucheng.
This gentleman is an opera artist, and visiting the Qinglou is naturally an elegant behavior. He came to the room of the popular head card in the evening, and his words and deeds were quite regular, and he played the lyrics and sang songs in harmony with the head card.
Gradually, the wine was hot, and Wu Bing and the top card sat closer and closer.
The two hugged each other, fed each other a little wine, and flipped through the illustrated version of "Datong Female Generals" together.
"I heard that on this day, MSI Pan Saisai sang at the peasant association outside Nanchang County?" Wu Bing suddenly inquired.
The top brand is called Li Ruoyan, looking at the deeds of many Datong female generals, there is infinite yearning and envy in my heart. But he could only smile and say: "I'm a Qinglou woman, how do I know the whereabouts of the female general of Datong?" If the gentleman is interested, he can go to the countryside to find Miss Pan. ”
Wu Bing sighed: "I want to go, but I'm afraid that Diao Min will kill officials and rebel." ”
Li Ruo sneered and said, "If Mr. doesn't mess with them, how can Diao Min kill officials?" ”
"That's right."
Wu Bing's heart suddenly became hot, and he planned to come back from presiding over the exam in various provinces, so he went to meet with MSI Pan Niangzi that day. Presumably, with his talent and generosity, he will please Mrs. Pan, and maybe he will break away from the thief and be accepted into the house as a concubine.
No, it can't be included in the room!
If you break away from the thief and become a concubine, Pan Niangzi is not a celestial microstar, so what's the fun of dating?
Wu Bing not only likes to sing poetry and music, but also loves to read martial arts.
"Green Peony" tells the love story of Luo Hongxun, the son of Jiangmen, and Hua Bilian, the son of Jiangmen, during the Wu Zetian period, which has been changed into an opera by Wu Bing.
There is also a popular "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Jiangnan, Wu Bing is also in the process of adapting and creating, and he especially likes the chivalrous Huang Rong. is not only a chivalrous woman, but also a smart and talented woman, and she simply belongs to the white lotus in the minds of readers.
When he came to Jiangxi at the beginning of the year to take office, Wu Bing read the book "Datong Female Generals", and his first reaction was that he had won a treasure.
He has a wish, that is, during his tenure in Jiangxi, he visited one hundred and eight Datong female generals and became good friends with those "heroines of the rivers and lakes".
In the "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty and the "Records of the Martyrdom of the Victorious Dynasty", Wu Bing committed suicide and died on a hunger strike for seven days.
However, in the history books compiled by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Bing surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and died of dysentery soon after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Wu Bing's friend's clan relatives Qu Gongmei also accurately recorded his surrender in the "Bonfire Record".
Which statement is more reliable, you can understand it for yourself.
After some refreshment, Wu Bing walked away from the Qinglou and took a sedan chair to the Gongyuan in the middle of the night. He was drunk, and he still had a copy of "Datong Female Generals" inserted in his waist, and when he walked to the street where the Gongyuan was located, he felt that something was particularly wrong.
Under normal circumstances, at least thousands of students participate in the provincial examination in Nanchang Prefecture, and they must be taken in rotation at the county level.
But in this alley, how can there only be hundreds of candidates?
Yawning, Wu Bing quietly entered through the small door, not daring to let those candidates find out. Because according to the rules, not only did he have to live in the examination room in advance, but the accompanying scribes had to live in it, so as not to mess around before the exam.
After sneaking into the examination room, Wu Bing, who was full of alcohol, called the clerk of the government office: "How many candidates are there in Nanchang Mansion this year?" ”
"Eight hundred and twenty-seven." The scribe replied.
Wu Bing was shocked: "Why is it only like this? ”
"Alas!"
The scribe sighed, not bothering to answer the question.
If schoolchildren and children participate in the Taoist test, they must first register at the county magistrate, and then the county school teacher will organize the test.
Now, the prefects and counties of Nanchang Prefecture are messing around, and the teachings appointed by the imperial court are also messing around. If it's a candidate, it's okay, after all, there is a chance to leave Jiangxi. But what's the point of the test show? Even if they can be admitted to Xiucai, before they are promoted, Jiangxi will have already changed the day.
The exam is also in vain, and it is better to study the primary school textbooks issued by Zhao Han by yourself.
Today, all the textbooks for primary and secondary schools after the reform have been printed. It quickly caused readers to rush to buy, and they were embarrassed to go to elementary school, but it was still good to buy books and study them at home.
Anyway, it is not difficult to study on their own, only add some mathematical content and Datong thought, and they have already mastered the rest of the knowledge.
Wu Bing sat inside the curtain and sighed, the students didn't want to take the exam, so how could he make money?
The sky is faintly bright, and the exam questions are issued.
But when I saw those candidates, they collectively walked out of the examination booth and ran outside the curtain to kneel together.
A representative of the examinees shouted: "Inspector Rongyu, Luling Zhao thief does not follow the sages, what kind of mathematics is implemented in the counties." This mathematics is not the arithmetic of the Ming Dynasty, but the text of the barbarians. I waited for Nanchang scholars, and jointly sent a letter to the superintendent, asking the inspector to transfer it to the imperial court to reach the holy hearing. ”
"Please let the inspector call the shots!" More than 800 scholars brushed and kowtowed.
Wu Bing said: "Hand it over, and you can go back to the exam." ”
"Thank you, Inspector."
Seeing that Wu Bing had received the recital, the candidates finally returned to the examination booth.
Throwing the song Shu away, Wu Bing lay down to sleep. He was tired for most of the night, drunk and sleepy, and he could sleep slowly during student exams.
As for the note to the emperor?
You said that if you raise people to join forces, you may be able to set off a little wave. But the 800 scholars in front of them didn't even get into Xiucai, and they came to take the Xiucai exam today.
"Inspector, inspector!"
I don't know how long I slept, and the clerk quietly woke up Wu Bing: "If there are candidates who submit their papers, will they be interviewed?" ”
The Ming Dynasty Taoist Examination was only one test, which was easier than the Qing Dynasty government examination, and the examiner was in a good mood and could be interviewed and admitted on the spot.
Wu Bing yawned and sat up straight, feeling that he still wanted to sleep, so he said: "Go home after the exam, don't disturb me to meditate on my studies." ”
With Jiangxi's ghostly appearance, Wu Bing has already broken the jar.
When the Zhao thief dares to send troops to occupy Nanchang City, he Wu Bing will dare to be a thief immediately, and he will be happy with the female generals of Datong in the future.
Of course, it would be better to leave Jiangxi as soon as possible, and Xiong Wencan will be impeached then!
Wu Bing had a personal enmity with Xiong Wencan, and Xiong Wencan's conquest of Liu Xiang was defeated, so he thought of confiscating the goods of foreign merchants (including the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, etc.) to make up for the loss. He told Wu Bing to forge the charge of businessman, and Wu Bing, who was the prefect of Fuzhou at the time, immediately came back and said: "I can't bear to kill people and flattery." ”
To put it righteously, in fact, it is because of interests, Wu Bing still has to rely on those foreign businessmen to make money!
Because of this incident, Wu Bing has been suppressed by Xiong Wencan, and was forced to return to his hometown after illness, and go home to devote himself to opera creation.
Since his reinstatement as an official this year, thanks to Chongzhen's restoration of the recommendation system, Wu Bing was recommended to come back.
In the following days, Wu Bing waited for someone to deliver the money. received more than 200 taels one after another, and seeing that he couldn't get more, he could only sigh that the world was declining, and Jiangxi candidates were not even active in bribing and cheating.
After reading the papers and releasing the list, Wu Bing encouraged himself again and decided to go to Linjiujiang, Nankang, Raozhou, Guangxin and other prefectures first. Those places are not Zhao Thief's territory, so he must be able to make more money, and he must not give up on himself at this time.
Come on, Wu Bing, you can do it!
Starting from the mansion in a sedan chair, Wu Bing wanted to go to Nankang Mansion first, but was stopped as soon as he turned a street.
Wu Bing lifted the sedan curtain and took a look, but saw hundreds of people holding sticks, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair, the thieves are coming!" ”
The sedan chair man didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Wu Bing shouting like this, he immediately threw down the sedan chair and fled.
Wu Bing was smashed to pieces, climbed out of the official sedan chair in embarrassment, and was thinking about whether to escape or be a thief, but found that those "anti-thieves" did not rush over at all.
Wu Bing hid far away, watched with the courage to watch, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the mansion of the eunuch in Jiangxi, surrounded by countless small citizens. Everyone rushed to the door, and after some effort, they finally slammed the door open.
"Kill the dog eunuch!"
"Guarded by walls on all sides, don't let the eunuch escape over the wall!"
"Kill!"
“……”
Not long after, Wang Yongzhong, the eunuch guarding Jiangxi Town, was caught by these small citizens.
Wang Yongzhong was already so frightened that he peed his pants, and said in tears: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" ”
A merchant grabbed the eunuch's clothes and asked, "Do you dare to collect taxes indiscriminately?" ”
Wang Yongzhong was paralyzed, and promised again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare anymore." All the good men spare me, I will definitely not dare to accept it in the future. ”
"Don't believe this guy's nonsense, once you release it today, you will definitely take revenge in the future."
"Kill the eunuch, the government doesn't dare to do anything."
"That is, this Nanchang is Mr. Zhao's world, the eunuch sent by the Dog Emperor, kill it!"
"Shoot him!"
"Shoot him!"
“……”
Under the anger of the masses, the people of the outer strata squeezed hard, and the people of the inner strata subconsciously started fighting.
I don't know how long it took to fight, but I came according to the official mission of the judge and Nanchang Mansion.
But in the face of such a situation, those officials did not dare to stop it, for fear that Diao Mintou would beat them. had to stand far away and shout: "Don't fight, don't fight, kill people and cut off your head!" ”
The common people didn't pay attention to the officials at all, and only a few of them were timid, so frightened that they quietly slipped away.
"The eunuch is dead, disperse quickly."
"Alas, don't worry, who stepped on my hand!"
“……”
I don't know how long it took, but the people finally dispersed, and only an unrecognizable corpse was left on the street.
Wu Bing mustered up the courage to go over to check, and immediately hid his face and turned his head, the eunuch's death was too miserable. Wu Bing's legs were weak, his mind was blank, and he ran back to his residence to sober up a little.
Either quickly transfer the silver away, or be a confused official in Jiangxi, Wu Bing can no longer have a second thought.
Xiong Wencan, the Jiangxi Third Division, and the Nanchang Prefect rushed to the scene one after another, and they had nothing to say when they saw the corpse of the eunuch.
Wu Shiliang, who is over 80 years old, was promoted from the right political envoy of Jiangxi to the left political envoy on the spot. The old man sighed and said: "The eunuch Wang Yongzhong, who guarded the town, exploited excessively, provoked a rebellion among the people, and was beaten to death by merchants and peddlers. Just kill a few culprits and report it to the court. ”
"Exactly." Xiong Wencan nodded.
None of the officials dared to object, and collectively reported it "truthfully". As for the culprit who beat the eunuch, a few death row prisoners in the prison were killed.
This Jiangxi is really lawless!
