Jingshi City Tribute Temple, at the gate.

Four days passed abruptly, and Liang Hong finally walked out of the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy on the afternoon of the fourth day with the package.

As soon as he left the examination room of the Tribute Academy, he saw that not far away, his mother and seventh uncle Liang Jin were waiting for him outside.

Liang Hong walked over there, and Liang Jin asked, "Brother Hong, how is it, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Liang Hong said truthfully: "It's simpler than I imagined. ”

Liang Jin was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

Liang Hong's mother was also happy at this time: "I hope my son will be a jinshi in one fell swoop this time." ”、

Liang Hong's eyes roamed around the Gongyuan at this time, and when he saw that he didn't see Xu Miaoya's carriage, he felt a little melancholy, he had already finished the exam, but she still didn't show up, could it be that he was really only waiting for himself to be admitted to the Jinshi before he was willing to see himself?

So the three of them took two carriages and returned to Sweetwater Alley, where they went to their respective homes.

Liang Hong first took a shower at home and changed into dry clothes, when it was almost dusk.

And just when Liang Hong was about to go to the glass factory to have a look, and see that he was not there for a few days, the glass factory did not slack off, right?

As soon as he was about to cross the door of the house, a subordinate hurried over and said to Liang Hong: "Young master, a son is looking for you at the door, saying that he is your old friend and wants to see you." ”

When Liang Hong heard it, the old man, he has always lived in a simple place in Jingshi City, how can he have any old friends? Could it be that Xinxiang County came to Jingshicheng?

Liang Hong had doubts in his heart, so he walked outside, and when he walked to the gate, he saw a carriage parked at the door, and there was no one, but he was familiar with the carriage, and he couldn't help but be excited, and he just wanted to look around to find someone, and suddenly behind him, he was suddenly gently patted on the shoulder by a fan.

"Liang Gongzi, don't come to harm?" The voice of a delicate woman, although the voice was deliberately thickened, Liang Hong still recognized who was at this time?

Hurriedly turned around and said with a look of surprise: "Yaya! ”

At this time, I saw that Xu Miaoya was dressed in a Confucian robe, and when she saw Liang Hong looking at her with a surprised face, Xu Miaoya's heart couldn't help but waver, but she deliberately shook a fan, and pretended to be arrogant: "How about it, Liang Gongzi, can you accompany Xiaosheng on a trip?" By the way, how did you do in the exam? ”

Liang Hong immediately smiled and said, "I'm happy!" I think I can get it! ”

So the two got into the carriage together, and the maid Bi'er behind Xu Miaoya, and the coachman who Liang Hong was familiar with also got into the carriage, and the coachman rushed to the carriage, shouted "drive", and then the carriage started.

In the carriage, Xu Miaoya told Liang Hong about some things about the court in the past few days.

also includes Jinzhou has fallen into the hands of the Wuzhen people, as well as the last duel between the court's auxiliary party and the first auxiliary party, and the final auxiliary party won, but of course, the final winner is still today's saint.

The treasury was almost emptied and went into the emperor's inner treasury, but the imperial court had no money to send troops to recapture Jinzhou, and could only watch Jinzhou become the territory of the Wuzhen people.

also told Liang Hong that the imperial court had died as a result of the death of an imperial historian, but according to Xu Miaoya's words, of course, it was not Xu Miaoya's words, but Xu Miaoya's original words relayed to Liang Hong, her father Xu Qiushan:

"Dakang has lost another loyal minister and virtuous!"

Of course, this sentence was also said by Xu Qiushan in front of Xu Miaoya, after all, the imperial historian named Ning Hongda was the one who hated the emperor and offended the emperor, who would dare to speak for him!

Liang Hong was in the carriage, listening to what General Xu Miaoya said and did in the court, Ning Yushi, but he felt so admired in his heart!

Then Liang Hong couldn't help but ask Xu Miaoya: "Yaya, where are we going?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." Xu Miaoya said, but her expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and the excitement of speaking at the beginning gradually faded at this time.

Liang Hong noticed Xu Miaoya's change, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed Xu Miaoya's coachman to drive him to the place Xu Miaoya said.

Liang Hong occasionally passed through the corner of the curtain that was lifted by the wind, and he could see that the carriage seemed to be heading out of the city.

The carriage was dull for a while, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop, Xu Miaoya's expression was slightly lifted at this time, and she smiled slightly at Liang Hong: "Let's go down and have a look." ”

Liang Hong nodded.

Both of them got out of the carriage, and Liang Hong found out that this is outside the city, it should be the West City Gate, the West City Gate is generally in the major city gates of Jingshi City, which is the most famous, because there are more officials.

Why? Because the West City Gate faces the inland, most of the officials from other provinces, or Beijing officials, go to the local government to do business, and when they come back, they have to go through the West City Gate.

Liang Hong didn't expect to be at the West City Gate, isn't it Yaya's uncles and uncles, who want to enter Beijing, so Yaya is here to pick up people, so he called himself too, at least let himself be familiar?

But immediately, Liang Hong knew that he had guessed wrong, because after Liang Hong got out of the carriage, he saw Xu Miaoya looking at the position of the city, and at this time, some of the people nearby were also looking at the city.

Liang Hong couldn't help but feel surprised, what is this looking at the city, is there anything new?

So Liang Hong also looked over there, and when he saw it, he was suddenly shocked, because on the city wall, there was a person hanging, and there seemed to be some stench coming from there.

Liang Hong looked at it again, the person hanging on the head of the city was still wearing an official uniform, and it was vaguely visible that it was a cyan official uniform, I don't know who this official is?

At this time, as if sensing Liang Hong's question, Xu Miaoya suddenly came to Liang Hong and whispered to him: "He is Ning Hongda, Ning Yushi." ”

"What...... What? Liang Hong suddenly exclaimed, but immediately realized that his voice was too high, so Fang lowered his voice: "This ...... How could this be? ”

A gloomy look appeared in Xu Miaoya's eyes, and she said softly:

"Now the power of the court is concentrated on the saint, and the saint is obsessed with cultivating immortals, refining all kinds of precious pills, and I heard that the hall is going to be repaired, and the money in the treasury is spent like water.

Manchu courtiers, no one dares to disobey the saint, and this Ning Hongda Ning Yushi, such a loyal minister and virtuous, has become a dead soul under the rod, and His Majesty, in order to humiliate him, is actually at the east city gate, the city gate where this official comes the most, exposed Ning Yushi's body to the city.

Let the officials who come and go look at it, this is the end of disobeying him! ”

When Liang Hong heard the end, he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body, and his mouth was a little dry: "Actually...... How could this be? ”

He thought of himself, he used to explain "The Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to the emperor every day, but after a while, the emperor's temperament slowly changed, and the emperor no longer mentioned that he would let himself speak, so he was more leisurely, so he could concentrate on studying and preparing for the exam.
