Fang Xiu turned his head to look.

Du Chen'an, who was covered in bruises, knelt on the ground, his old face was full of guilt, and he cried bitterly:

"Xia Guan has betrayed Fang Xiang's trust, Xia Guan should die!"

Fang Xiu got up, walked in front of him, looked at him condescendingly, and raised his eyebrows:

"I was half-dead just now, but I was alive again in just half an hour, and it seems that your injuries are not serious."

When Du Chenan heard this slightly ridiculous words, his heart instantly calmed down, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he replied: "It's all a blessing for the party." ”

Fang Xiu said coldly: "This appearance is not a blessing, I didn't get a tael of silver, but a black pot was on my back!" ”

Du Chenan hurriedly said: "Xiaguan should be damned!" ”

Fang Xiu looked at him and said lightly: "I heard that Li Jiang gave you a lot of silver?" ”

Du Chen'an raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and said tremblingly: "Fang Xiang, all those silvers are hidden in the cellar of the bedroom, and they haven't moved a single tael!" The lower official will send someone to the house tomorrow! ”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "One or two didn't move?" ”

Du Chenan said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan knows that this silver is obtained by Li Jiang selling his official account behind his back, and after accepting the lard blindfolding, Xiaguan is afraid day and night, worrying, and not having peace for a day, and dreaming that one day the East Window incident will happen."

Such silver, not to mention one tael, is half a tael, and the lower officials don't dare to spend it, so it's all in the cellar. ”

Speaking of which.

He wept bitterly: "Xiaguan was born in a poor family, although he is a scholar, but he can't even compare with ordinary businessmen......

Xia Guan is really poor and afraid.

I'm scared! ”

Hear this.

The corners of Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "It's almost there." ”

Du Chenan still cried bitterly.

Fang Xiu waved his fist and said angrily:

"I'll beat you up again!"

In an instant, Du Chenan stopped crying, but there were tears on his face and his nose was bubbling.

It looks like a high-powered official, and he is clearly a little old man who has been wronged.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he smiled angrily and said, "Are you still wronged?" ”

Du Chen'an put his head on the ground: "The lower officials don't dare!" ”

"The lower officials know that the sins are deep, and I implore Fang Xiang to see that the lower officials have done their best over the years, and only kill the lower officials, leaving the twenty-one sons and ninety-seven grandsons of the officials a way to live."

“......”

The corners of Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Where did you get so many sons?" ”

Du Chenan said: "It's all a blessing that dragged Fang Xiang." ”

"you!"

Fang Xiu went up and kicked him to the ground.

Du Chenan cried bitterly again.

Fang Xiu only felt a headache when he heard this, waved his hand, and said angrily: "The prime minister only gives you this chance, you explain the things that you concealed from the prime minister before, and explain it clearly, if you let the prime minister find out similar things later, the prime minister will never spare you!" ”

When Du Chenan heard this, he instantly stopped crying and asked, "Is what Fang Xiang said true?" ”

Fang Xiu squinted at him and asked rhetorically, "What if it's not true?" ”

Du Chenan hurriedly said: "Xiaguan's brain is dizzy from crying, and he says some foolish things. ”

Fang Xiu said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”

Du Chenan didn't dare to delay any longer, and said busily: "In addition to Li Jiang selling the official title in your name, there is also the nineteenth year of Dezheng, and in that year's imperial examination, the lower official is the main exam.

Qin Xingyan gave Xiaguan 50,000 taels of silver, and asked Xiaguan to give his son's exam papers a higher evaluation, and Xiaguan agreed without telling you......"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know which exam paper belongs to Qin Xingyan's son?" ”

Even if it's a big dry rotten to the roots.

The imperial examinations are all first-class events!

Fraud in the imperial examination, once the incident occurs, is a big crime of beheading.

No one dares to do anything on it.

Du Chenan said: "Xia Guan doesn't know. ”

Fang Xiu said: "Then how do you grade his exam papers." ”

Du Chenan said: "Xia Guan didn't do anything, how to read the papers, then Qin Yongxin finally won a second-class jinshi, his father thought it was the credit of Xia Guan, but in fact, it was all on his own." ”

The corners of Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Then if he falls off the list, how will you explain?" ”

Du Chenan said: "It's normal to fall off the list, the exam papers are too poor, even if you deliberately score high, you can't go back to the sky, at that time, Qin Xingyan was the same as the lower official, he was a waiter, he couldn't beat the lower official." ”

"And if he asks you for silver?"

Du Chen'an looked puzzled: "Silver? What silver? ”

Fang Xiu saw his serious appearance, and held back a sentence for a long time: "This appearance is breathtaking." ”

Du Chenan smiled, only felt that the wound was no longer painful, and replied, "Fang Xiangbai praised." ”

"Who praised you!"

Fang Xiu resisted the urge to kick him again and asked, "What else?" ”

Du Chenan thought for a while and said, "Just these two things, there is nothing else." ”

Fang Xiu said: "I know, a total of 150,000 taels, and it will be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." ”

Du Chenan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Counting Qin Xingyan's 50,000 taels, Xia Guan only took 100,000 taels......"

As soon as the words fell.

He suddenly reacted, raised his hand and slapped himself, and said: "The lower official is talking nonsense again, that is, 150,000 taels, and the lower official is wrong." ”

Say so.

In my heart, I said: Breathtaking, this piece is still better!

"Then the official retired?"

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't speak for a long time, Du Chenan said cautiously.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said, "There is one more thing. ”

Du Chenan said: "Fang Xiang, please speak." ”

Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little strange, and he said curiously: "Aren't you afraid that those two guards will really beat you to death?" ”

Hear the question.

Du Chen'an remembered the picture of being beaten before, and he was angry, and said, "Those two dog things!" I don't know how to work around at all! Xia Guan said that letting them knock Xia Guan out was just an exaggerated grammar, and they really took it seriously.

Xiaguan begged them at the time, stop fighting, don't fight, they didn't stop, Xiaguan's heart really sank to the bottom at that time, thinking in his heart, this is over, the guilt of pleading has become a fear of self-hanging......"

“......”

Amazing......

Fang Xiu waved his hand: "Get out!" ”

"Okay!"

Du Chenan got up from the ground and ran away.

Fang Xiu looked at his back, feeling more and more.

Except for himself, there seem to be few normal people in the Fang Party.

He sighed, ignored them, took the newspaper in his hand, and went to Daji.

............

Meanwhile.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Wu Mingkong, who had just finished reviewing the recital, put down his pen, stretched his waist, and let out a comfortable moan.

Side.

Lin Wan'er hurriedly presented a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, this is the new beauty tea from Zhenbao Zhai, you can try it." ”

Wu Mingkong stretched out his hand to take the teacup, took a sip, seemed to think of something, and said:

"Last time, you asked Shang Gong why a man didn't marry a wife and have children when he was twenty-eight years old, did you ask?"
