Hearing Di Renjie's urging, the guy continued to speak, but this time he learned wisely, and patiently waited for Di Renjie to swallow the meat in his mouth and only spoke when he was halfway through the dishes.

"At the beginning, it was indeed as Gongzi said, everyone thought that Zhuangyuanlou was a fool, and no one spent money to be fooled. But later, I don't know how, someone really came to the door. ”

"After a few more days, I don't know who spread it, saying that the exam questions sold by the champion building are true, and those who have bought them are studied day and night as treasures, so it spread all of a sudden, and many people rushed to buy them. I heard that Zhuangyuanlou made 100,000 taels of silver just by taking the exam. ”

"Some people also say that Zhuangyuan Building is purely a fraud of money. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Di Renjie sneered: "It's all stupid! Of course, it was a fraud of money, and the first person who went in to buy the exam questions was the nursery arranged by the champion building himself. Then make a posture of value for money and treasure, so that you can coax others to be fooled. It's like fishing, you have to nest and cast the bait first, and if you have the first one, you have the second one. ”

Li Jingren next to him said with a smile: "If it's purely a liar, you can't cheat 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Di Renjie nodded, "It shouldn't be that much, 100,000 taels of silver, then you need to sell a thousand candidates." Although most of the candidates for the examination are children of nobles, not everyone is stupid, and at most one or two hundred people are fooled. ”

Li Jingren shook his head and said, "No, I think this exam question has weight. In other words, the imitation is very level, enough to confuse the real with the fake. Otherwise, the champion building would not be able to open now. ”

"Do you think, you can buy a test question that you don't know if it's true or false for a hundred taels, which of such aristocratic children is not related to Chang'an? Since they are all powerful, if they know that they have been deceived, how can they not fight back? ”

And since they didn't type back after buying the exam questions, it means that this exam question satisfies everyone, and it can be fake. Otherwise, the store would have been smashed long ago...... Wait, Xiao Er, if there is an accident in the champion building today, it shouldn't be that these people came to smash the store, right? ”

Di Renjie was thoughtful.

The shopkeeper next to him stroked his palm and praised: "Childe, what you said is too right." Isn't it exactly the same as you said, that many aristocratic sons came to smash the store? I heard that I bought fake exam questions, and I was deceived, and I didn't have anything to do with the imperial examination ......."

Poof......

Li Jingren couldn't help but laugh and said: "Nonsense, if the champion building sells real exam questions, if you don't wait for them to come and smash the store, I'm afraid the government will come early." Since it has not been seized by the government, it is obvious that it is a fake exam question. ”

At this time, Di Renjie came back to his senses and asked rhetorically: "But as Senior Brother said just now, when they bought the exam questions, they all thought that they were worth the money, and they could use the real exam questions. Why did you make trouble today, saying that the exam questions had nothing to do with the imperial examination? ”

The two of them looked at each other, and at the same time thought of a possibility.

"Wouldn't it? Is this someone deliberately setting up a game to trap these people, not wanting them to be on the list? ”

"Man, go and inquire, and ask if the champion building has been smashed?"

The shopkeeper quickly ran downstairs.

Li Jingren touched a glass with Di Renjie and said with a smile: "If the store is successfully smashed, then it is not." ”

Di Renjie also smiled, "Yes, who dares to smash the teacher's shop?" ”

"However, I always feel that using such a bad trick to deal with the nobles is very similar to the teacher's handiwork. Except for teachers, who in the world would cheat nobles like this? ”

Li Jingren smiled, "Perhaps, Master Hou just got started, and some people are vying to follow suit?" After all, the prestige of those families is not as good as before, and no one is used to them anymore. ”

The two of them were staggered, and Xiao Er came back panting, "Two sons, smash, smash...... The champion building was smashed to pieces. And the owner behind the scenes was also found. ”

"Oh? Wouldn't it, even the people behind the scenes have been found out? Do you know who it is? The two were surprised.

Xiao Er explained: "I heard that it is the one named Wang Jishan. ”

Wang Jishan?

Di Renjie didn't have much impression, Li Jingren seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember it clearly, after all, he had only returned to Chang'an not long ago.

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Xiao Er enthusiastically told the two, "This Wang Jishan was originally the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, known as the Wang Qilin, and he is very smart. But a few years ago, it seemed that a major case in Chang'an was involved, and then he quietly returned to Taiyuan and did not move for several years. ”

"It wasn't until this year, a few months ago, that there was a tragedy in the Wang family in Yunzhong, and Wang Jishan personally brought 60 candidates for the entrance examination into Beijing, and everyone saw this person again."

"It is said that he became the head of the Wang family in the clouds, and somehow, he was a good son in law of the Taiyuan Wang family, but he ran away to be the head of a small family."

"Oh, by the way, there are also rumors that the Yunzhong Wang family can produce sixty candidates for the examination at once, thanks to the careful teaching of this talented man. Some people even speculate that this person is comparable to the world's first teacher in teaching, and is on par with Hou Ye. ”

Hiss......

Is there such a character?

Li Jingren exclaimed: "In this way, it makes sense." If he can train a family member to enter the examination, he must be well versed in the imperial examination, so he can completely imitate the examination questions of previous years and produce a similar set of fake test papers that can be faked and real. ”

"Hehe, the person who can think of such a means of collecting money is indeed a smart person. But it's a little strange, he is also from a noble background, why is he such an unscrupulous pit nobleman? ”

Di Renjie happily guessed: "What else can it be?" It must have been a falling out with the family. ”

Oh?

Li Jingren's eyes lit up, "It's really, how can it be so complicated." He is the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he was originally supposed to be the heir to the head of the family. Now he is the head of a small family, needless to say, the Taiyuan Wang family will definitely not agree. Such a simple truth, hehe, but I think things are complicated. ”

Di Renjie sighed: "It's okay now, how can the nobles' money be so easy to pit?" He was pulled out, and he was afraid that he would be beaten badly, and then how to eat and vomit. ”

Ahem...... Slip of the tongue Slip of the tongue!

Di Renjie remembered the mess he had just laughed at and hurriedly apologized.

"Senior brother, why don't I change the table for you?"

Li Jingren glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "Eat yours." It's not as expensive as you think. The saliva of his own brothers and sisters, he ate it. ”

Hey...... Di Renjie squeezed out a smile wryly.

At this time, I heard the little second say: "The son doesn't know, that Wang Jishan is dead." ”

Oh? He's dead? How so? is also the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, even if he has a quarrel with his family, his identity and family are there, who dares to kill him for a little silver?

"It's not from these debt collectors. I just heard that Wang Jishan was assassinated at the entrance of the imperial examination room. ”

Burst......

That's impossible! Our brothers just came down from the exam room, it must be a rumor!

Di Renjie didn't believe it.

Li Jingren was stunned for a moment, "Senior brother, it's hard to say, we handed in the papers an hour in advance......"

Yes?

Xiao Er was surprised: "An hour in advance? You two must be great talents, maybe this year's champion is the two of you. I have never heard of anyone who dares to hand in the papers an hour in advance of the imperial examination. ”

Di Renjie sighed: "Don't you doubt that the two of us can't answer the blank paper after handing in the blank papers?" ”

Xiao Er smiled, "Di Gongzi, what are you laughing at, you are a student of Hou Ye, do you hand in a blank paper?" I'm afraid that the Hou Ye will not agree. ”

Di Renjie was poked into a joke, and he was so angry that he showed off a chicken leg.

Li Jingren laughed and said, "See? This is not another restaurant, and the guys elsewhere are holding customers. But this is the Drunken Immortal Building, the property of the Hou Ye, he treats you as his own, so he doesn't hide anything. ”

"Man, Wang Jishan is a small person, why was a good person assassinated? Does anyone in Chang'an City have a deep hatred for him? ”

The guy shook his head, "Haven't heard of it." However, he offended so many aristocratic sons at once, even if he didn't die, just the posture of people smashing the store just now, I am afraid that he will be killed sooner or later. ”

"If you say something that shouldn't be said, people have face, and it's nothing to cheat some money, but he shouldn't delay people's future. So many people spend money to buy exam questions in order to take the examination and become officials. What you're selling may not be a real exam question, but it can't be unrelated to the exam question, right? ”

"Not to mention that there are some poor children in it, who went bankrupt and scraped together a hundred taels, and finally found out that they had been deceived, but they had to fight hard with the liars!"

Li Jingren nodded, "It's true, the children of the nobles will take care of Wang Jishan's identity and backstage, but the deceived poor family will not, there is no hope of winning the imperial examination, they only have one life left and full of anger." ”

"It stands to reason that Wang Jishan is a smart person, even if he cheats people's money, he will do it more strictly. How can it be so easy to be found out? ”

"It's just the end of the exam, isn't it too fast?"

Hiss......

Could it be, there are still people behind the calculations? Otherwise, with a group of brave candidates, how can they have time to investigate the backstage of the champion building?
