"It's coming, it's coming!"

A man wearing a net scarf and lying by the window immediately turned around and shouted when he saw Song Ren getting down from the carriage.

His name is Cheng Shi'an, and he and Song Ren participated in the hospital examination together, and the two are classmates.

It's just that although Cheng Shi'an's hometown is in Jiangdu County, in order to climb the relationship, his household registration is hung in Yangzhou Mansion.

In fact, most of the candidates are like Cheng Shi'an, otherwise Song Ren would not have become the only talent in Jiangdu County.

The Cheng family and the Chai family both run the wine industry, but they are not as famous as the Chai family, even if Cheng Shi'an has excellent grades and fame, the family has no money to help him, so that his career is not smooth.

He was not qualified to participate in tonight's banquet, and it was a coincidence that Cheng Shi'an, who had been studying hard behind closed doors in Yangzhou Mansion, suddenly returned to Jiangdu County a few days ago, and that time was when Song Ren was in the limelight.

One night, Cheng Shi'an was invited, came to this Bafang Building for dinner, after three rounds of drinking, he heard others talking about Song Ren, he said some obscure things through the strength of the wine, but he happened to be heard by the Huang Governor's Mansion passing by, which is why he appeared here.

For Cheng Shi'an, this is a God-given opportunity, and he is determined to seize this opportunity, anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of Song Ren.

At the wine table, there were several people sitting, and Huang Youdao, the prefect of Yangzhou, sat in it, he was very thin, with a beard, and his face was a little haggard.

When he heard that someone was coming, he pricked up his ears to the sound of the door, and waited for the sound of going up the stairs.

He deliberately pulled his throat and said coldly: "The most disgusting thing in the life of this official is that those litigants, who will only start and destroy lawsuits and instigate disputes, lest the world will not be chaotic!" What is his identity, he is also worthy of sitting at the same table with us, that is, Lord Yu has just arrived, and he has been deceived by that villain! ”

After speaking, Huang Youdao tilted his head slightly and asked Cheng Shi'an: "This official will ask you again, what you said that day is true, not drunk nonsense?" ”

Cheng Shi'an immediately bowed down, "I and that kid are candidates in the same subject, this matter is true!" ”

Huang Youdao touched his beard, squinted and smiled: "This official has read your file, and he came to the official office to be a caretaker, and he will not give in." ”

Cheng Shi'an was suddenly overjoyed, and his body bent a little more.

Before he could say his words of gratitude, the door was pushed open.

Yu Guang walked in with a hearty laugh, followed by Song Ren.

His face was indifferent, and he was not affected by those words in the slightest.

As soon as Yu Guang came, everyone stood up to greet him, only a white-bearded old man sat with his eyes closed, not moving, not even raising his eyelids, as if he was asleep.

Such a disrespectful act, but Yu Guang didn't care at all, and arched his hand to everyone one by one: "It's a little late, forgive me." ”

"Where, where, I've just arrived."

Huang Youdao was full of kind smiles, and Yu Guang introduced the main seat, and politely pushed each other, and Yu Guang sat down.

Huang Youdao also sat on his left, and the guest of honor on the right side of the main seat sat the old man.

The old man looked noble, Song Ren couldn't guess what it was, he looked around, but found an old acquaintance.

He Jingwen sat on the very edge, with a hypocritical smile on his face, and when he looked at Song Ren, he also showed a slightly dissatisfied look.

Come to think of it, after all, on the territory of Jiangdu County, no matter how small the county magistrate is, he should appear, and on the bright side, he is still his enemy.

Seeing that everyone ignored his existence, Song Ren didn't bother to pay attention to it, moved away from the chair by himself, and sat down.

It's just that when he moved the chair, he made a little noise, and everyone who was polite immediately looked over, and even the old man who closed his eyes slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little strange.

Song Ren nodded at them, and then looked at his nose and his nose, and looked like he was waiting for the meal to start.

Huang Youdao's brows furrowed, he wanted to deliberately hang Song Ren, and when he was in a hurry to report to his family, he would make a sneering remark, but he didn't know that this guy actually played his cards according to common sense.

But that's fine, just give them the handle.

Another middle-aged man at the same table saw Huang Youdao's appearance, and immediately understood, and scolded Song Ren coldly: "Is this the famous Song Xiangshi, you sit down without anyone to invite you, you are also a scholar, you know how to write etiquette!" ”

Song Ren was speechless, damn it, didn't you invite me to come, I won't sit when I come, stand and watch you eat?

However, in order to give Yu Guang face, Song Ren did not get angry, but said lightly: "I was invited to come and sit at the table, you are all people with status, and the grass people don't dare to let you open your mouth to invite each other, so they took their own seats, how can such a considerate heart become rude in the mouth of this adult?" ”

"But if you say a word of courtesy, the grass people want to ask this adult, since Song was invited to the banquet, no one invited him after standing for a long time, this is the way of hospitality? Is this what you call a courtesy? ”

"You!"

The man was speechless, and he didn't know how to refute for a while, Song Ren was indeed invited to the banquet by Yu Guang, he was forced to deliberately offend Song Ren, such an act can be regarded as an indirect slap in the face of Yu Guang, if he continues with this topic, then it will be regarded as a blatant offend to this imperial historian, he will never dare.

Although he is a general judge, a six-grade official, compared to Yu Guang, the superintendent of the imperial history, is a level older, but he is a patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and has the authority to judge major matters and make decisions on small matters.

He is just stuck in this embarrassing six grades, if Yu Guang wants to deal with him, he doesn't need to tell the emperor.

Lin Chengxing, the general judge of Yangzhou Mansion, was a little panicked, and his eyes subconsciously aimed at the main seat.

Yu Guang's face was calm, but at this time, Huang Youdao squinted and smiled: "It is worthy of being a lawyer, with sharp teeth and clever words, it's not that I can't be hospitable, but before this, I accidentally heard a secret story and wanted to let Master Song hear it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi'an stood up and smiled at Song Ren: "Brother Song, don't come unharmed." ”

Seeing this stranger who looked ordinary and couldn't be found if he was thrown in the crowd, Song Ren tilted his head slightly: "Who are you?" ”

“......”

Cheng Shi'an's prepared rhetoric was asked by this, but he didn't know how to pick it up.

This kid, play with me and don't recognize people, right?

Seeing Huang Youdao's suspicious eyes, Cheng Shi'an was a little panicked, and he hurriedly spoke, so that his voice was a little higher.

"Song Ren, we were classmates at the beginning, and I also invited you to eat and drink, but don't forget!"

"Oh, and then?"

"You, you, you!"

Cheng Shi'an's mind was completely messed up, thinking that the script shouldn't unfold like this!

Shouldn't he be the one who was flustered, after all, that incident was spread at the time, and most of the candidates knew that now that I was standing in front of him, how could he still be so calm?

Looking at Cheng Shi'an's appearance, Huang Youdao was dissatisfied, feeling that this person was useless, and the other party had taken the lead as soon as he opened his mouth, so it was not okay to go on like this.

So Huang Youdao coughed a few times, and said: "I have always attached importance to the imperial examination, but now I heard that someone with the name of this talent was actually bought, and if this matter is not clarified, I dare not invite Master Song to sit down." ”

The implication is that Song Renxiucai's fame was bought with money.

He Jingwen, who was sitting not far away, immediately said, "Oh, there is such a despicable thing? That must be strictly investigated! ”

Huang Youdao nodded with satisfaction, and leaned towards Yu Guang, "How do you know that what the county said is reasonable, Lord Yu, you first came to Jiangdu County, but you don't know that this Song Ren has a nickname, called Song Buren, just because of this, people rely on a little literary talent and tongue to reverse, and they turn right and wrong upside down, which can be described as oppressing the people and doing all kinds of evil!" This son has a clumsy character, and this fraud in the field is also related to him! ”

Yu Guang raised his eyebrows, but he knew why Huang Youdao agreed so happily when he heard that he was going to bring Song Ren to the banquet.

Dare to wait here.

He was naturally clear about Song Ren's writing, but he still deliberately pretended to be surprised and said: "Lord Huang, this is related to the reputation of Shilin Qingyu in Yangzhou Mansion, and today's saint attaches great importance to the talent ceremony, this matter can't be sloppy, do you have evidence?" ”

Huang Youdao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Evidence, naturally we have to check it slowly, there is a human witness, there is one today." ”

He turned his head sideways and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Shi'an, don't hurry up and tell the Inspector." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Shi'an bowed and said: "The little Cheng Shi'an, is the fifteenth year of Yongkang Academy, and this Song Ren is a classmate, after the scientific examination that year, I saw Song Ren kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the examiner at the time, as if begging for something, but also took out the silver two fortresses to the examiner, and later the case, Song Ren became a second-class hyperplasia, but as far as the villain knows, this Song Ren has no talent to learn, it is definitely he who bribed the examiner, so he has to get fame, I hope the adult will see it!" ”

Xiucai is also divided into grades, and the best grades are called "endowment", followed by "hyperplasia", and finally "epiphytic".

After Cheng Shi'an finished speaking, the room suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Cheating in the imperial examination is a big crime!

The expressions of everyone present were different, some were serious, and some were sarcastic, it stands to reason that Song Ren's expression should be the one with the richest expression, but he didn't, but it was as if he was listening to someone else's story.

On the contrary, He Jingwen's expression was cloudy, because he suddenly thought of asking Master Kang to investigate Song Ren's background before, and the news he got was that the examiner that year favored Song Ren.

It's not, it's really bribed! Am I following the wrong person?

No one cared about the change in the expressions of the people in the corners, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Ren.

Seeing that Song Ren didn't speak for a long time, Huang Youdao snorted coldly and said, "Why, Song Xiangshi doesn't argue for himself, aren't you very good at saying it?" ”

Say you're a big mom!

Song Ren is on fire now, and he just wants to slap this body twice.

In addition to leaving a fair-skinned and beautiful daughter-in-law for himself, the rest of the predecessor is a mess, and he has just washed his reputation and sorted out the industry, so why is there another piece of.

I don't care if it's true or not, but I really don't know it!

Although Song Ren had already run tens of thousands of alpacas in his heart, he still looked calm on the surface.

I see a dog riding a dog on the side of the road and they will be scared of people, I will be afraid of you?

Song Ren looked directly at Huang Youdao, and suddenly grinned and said, "Lord Huang, the grass people also happened to hear a news, and I heard that Lord Huang, the official, came from the wrong way. ”
