Chapter 12 Unveiling
Zhiyun sat at the table in Mingde's study, with a round pet egg resting on her knees, but her hands were fiddling with the bonsai of June snow for a while, and the silver thread was wearing a gemstone the size of a grain of rice, tied to a slender leaf, which looked more and more delicate and atmospheric.
Yesterday, the township test list was released, Mingde went to see it, many scholars who often study in their Wenyuan Book Club have achieved a good ranking, Mingde is happy for them, but more or less lost, but the mood is okay.
It's just that I heard that the Hanlin Academy was revised, Li Pan Li and the Hanlin Academy were edited, Jiang Chenying Jiang was actually the main examiner of the 38-year Shuntianxiang Examination, and he was even more envious, this year's scholars are the students of the two adults, Mingde knows that the two are outstanding in their talents and have excellent conduct, and they are even more disgusted with the Niu Colu Duantai who made himself miss the time and failed to enter the gate of the Gongyuan.
"Uncle, Gege ......"
July walked into the door of the study, and didn't care about saluting the two masters, so he smiled happily: "Uncle, Gege, don't you know, that Duantai of Niu Co Lu Mansion was thrown out of Rouge Alley naked this morning, and was chased by wild dogs for most of the street, knocked out two front teeth, and let the lips bite down together, now it has become a rabbit's mouth, and only half a ...... is left on his tongue."
Mingde's eyes widened in astonishment, and he instinctively rebuked: "What nonsense, this kind of thing is said in front of Gege." ”
July hurriedly made a loss, Zhiyun lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
Mingde stiffened his face for a while, snorted in the end, laughed, glanced at his sister who was fiddling with bonsai with her head down, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" Is the message accurate? ”
There was a faint hint of schadenfreude on July's face, but he still put on a calm and steady appearance, and said softly: "It's spread all over the outside today, you know, he ran naked for most of the street...... Who can't see it......" said, July lowered his voice and said indignantly, "He really deserves it, let him hurt his uncle, God has eyes, evil has evil retribution, he is waiting to be impeached by the imperial history for immorality......"
Mingde deeply thinks so, although he is a kind person, but he is disgusted with this kind of villain who harms others and is not beneficial to himself, and has a great future, and he is happy to see Duantai's jokes, but he is just ...... The old lady loves Duantai very much, but don't be angry......
The master and servant gloated, but Zhiyun only raised his eyebrows, so things like hair and blood must not fall into the hands of the mage, otherwise, the other party will definitely be able to make you survive and not die.
When she was in the infinite space, the captain asked herself not to even drop her hair casually, but she didn't think so, because there were few teachers in her heart, how could she have so many scruples.
Now it seems that she really has to be more careful, look, she just put a miniature collector, collected two strands of the guy's hair, and cursed a little, with her current magic power, not even one-tenth of the previous strength, Duantai will end up like this, if you change to a powerful mage to rectify yourself, then it will be worth it!
Originally, Mingde wanted to go to Niu Co Lu Mansion to see the old lady, but he didn't expect that a major event that caused a sensation in the capital occurred the next day, which suddenly disrupted all the plans of Guerjia Mansion.
The autumn of September 7 was crisp and cool, which was originally a good day, but the whole capital was noisy and boiling, and the undercurrent was turbulent.
"Shizi Jieshiwen?" Zhiyun frowned, and carefully looked at the large-character flyer on the table, this thing was actually all over the street overnight, and the speed was fast enough. Blinked, I see, no wonder Mingde took the doom potion at the beginning, and he was still able to make friends with Li Pan and Jiang Chenying, and after a long time, these two examiners are destined to have such a catastrophe!
Fraud cases have been hated since ancient times, and they have been repeatedly banned, and it is not a strange thing to encounter fraud cases, which dynasty and generation have them, and there are many of them, however, because Mingde and Li Pan and Jiang Chenying are good friends, she also specially investigated, these two people can be said to be rare honest officials, and they should not do such self-destructive things.
She was not in a hurry, but Mingde's face turned red with anger, "Impossible...... Neither Master Li nor Lord Jiang are such people...... I, I'll go out and see, I'll go see them......" He angrily grabbed the leaflet and threw it to the ground, rushing out.
July was worried that Mingde would get into trouble and wanted to stop her, but she was a little girl, where could she stop such a big man as Mingde.
"Gege, are you going to say something, at this time, the uncle is not far from those two, and he is still making up, in case, if he has a bad reputation, what can he do in the future?"
Zhiyun narrowed her eyes and smiled: "What's the hurry, this township test, the eldest brother didn't participate, whether it's a fraud case or a defamation case, it has nothing to do with him...... The eldest brother has a good relationship with the two adults, there are many people in the capital who know it, not to mention others, Zhang Yingzhang and his son-in-law, but looking at the eldest brother and those two friends, if something happens, he will immediately clear up the relationship, and what will the eldest brother become. ”
July was dizzy by her own words, she was young, there were not so many twists and turns in her stomach, even though she was worried at this time, but the two masters didn't care, what could she do, she had to stomp her feet and go out to make tea for Zhiyun.
Zhiyun didn't care about it on her face, but she was a little curious in her heart, after all, it was the first time she had seen this kind of thing, so she pushed away the bonsai on the table, took the post closer, and read it carefully.
While reading, I don't know how many turns have been turned in my head.
Jingshi has always been a place where humanities gather, and of course, it is also a place where contradictions are concentrated. The so-called Beijing officials are difficult to do, and the examiners are especially difficult to do, Li Pan and Jiang Chenying, after all, they are not experienced enough, although one is the champion of the previous conviction, the other is the former detective, one is young and strong, and the other is highly respected, but the foundation in the capital is still shallow, according to Mingde, these two are also determined to report and forge ahead, on the contrary, such a temperament, the offended person will definitely not say, and now suddenly come to such a sudden, I am afraid that it is a hundred mouths and will suffer a big loss.
Zhiyun finished reading the post, and his eyes said a touch of irony, with a spicy pen, chiseled words, and extremely fanning power, but not ordinary people can write. Look, there are four or five families in the middle hall, dozens of people in the ministries and courtyards, and their children are all named on the gold list - such a sentence has caused most of the scholars from poor backgrounds to be angry.
However, a large number of the people listed above have been seen in her own Wenyuan Book Club, all of them are the kind of people who don't want to die when they read books, plus they have a good background, they are taught by famous teachers, they have a family history, and they also know hard work, why can't such a person be in high school!
Take a closer look at this post, although it seems to be conclusive, but most of them are rumors, like what Li Pan took bribes of 10,000 taels of silver, which is completely false.
From this point of view, although it is not the final conclusion, Li Pan and Jiang Chenying are very likely to have been framed.
When it was dark, Mingde came home dejected, and saw that he looked depressed, obviously greatly stimulated.
"Master Li and Master Jiang...... Overnight, people were a lot more rickety, I, I looked uncomfortable......"
Zhiyun hooked the corners of her lips, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you might as well invite Yao Guan and Yao Gongzi to discuss it, see if you can write Mingzhi, and express your willingness to accept the retest, now the city is full of storms, and the retest is certain, but if they wait for the Holy Lord to personally decree the retest, then they will be passive, it is better to take the initiative to ask for it, if it can be done...... Perhaps, the eldest brother won't need to delay for another three years, wouldn't everyone be happy! ”
For Zhiyun, in fact, she is not interested in whether this township trial case is fraud or slander, she just thinks that if she makes good use of this matter, she may be able to add some weight to her eldest brother's career.
Mingde's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't sit still immediately, so he stood up and walked out, Zhiyun hurriedly stopped, asked October to prepare some nutritious food, and added homemade nutrients to it-"Don't be busy, there is still time, you go to see the two adults first, comfort and comfort, and tell them your thoughts, so that the two can feel at ease...... Especially Master Jiang, he is so old, and he doesn't know if his body and bones can stand it after such a toss. ”
"It's still my sister, you think about it." Mingde exhaled, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated a little.
