Volume 1 Chapter 398 Before the Locking Courtyard
When Xu He heard this, he immediately turned around and prepared to find Xue Yongzhi.
Who knew that before he left, he was called back by Gu Shouyuan.
"Liangsheng, don't you go, let that ......"
Xu He hurriedly said: "Ouyang Jun, a classmate of the student school!" ”
Gu Shouyuan nodded and said to Ouyang Jun: "Ouyang Shizi, you go with the people of Long Huwei, you don't come forward, hide next door and listen to the people of Long Huwei interrogate everyone in the Zhuangyuan Building, no one is left behind, and when you hear a familiar voice, ask Xue Yongzhi to bring someone over immediately!" ”
Ouyang Jun encountered such a big thing for the first time in his life, and he was both timid and excited in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Examiner, what if you don't have it?" ”
Gu Shouyuan said: "You asked the people of Long Huwei to escort you to the Tribute Courtyard, I want to see if these people dare to do anything in the Tribute Courtyard!" ”
Gu Shouyuan's handling still took good care of Xu He and Ouyang Jun.
The first is to ensure their safety, and the second is to let Ouyang Jun hide behind the scenes when he recognizes the voice, and there will be no unfavorable words for him in the future.
After hearing this, Xu He immediately turned his head to find Xue Yongzhi.
Xue Yongzhi was pulled aside by Xu He and said what had happened.
When he heard that there was such a big thing in this year's township exam, he was also taken aback, and when he heard that the examiner ordered him to arrest the suspect, his face immediately became excited, and he didn't know what plot in the drama he thought of.
Xu He said: "Little Hou Ye, you go and say hello to the chief examiner and the promotion officer Wang, and go to it immediately!" ”
Xue Yongzhi nodded, walked to Gu Wang and the others, and Gu Shouyuan asked for another order, and then let him go.
More than a dozen horsemen came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they took Ouyang Jun together and transferred troops to surround the building.
After dealing with everything, Gu Shouyuan obviously relaxed a little.
He led Wang Liangchen and Xu He to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the door, the sergeant guarding the door saw that the examiner was coming, and hurriedly opened the door, ready to welcome them in, but when he saw that there was a man in a shirt behind them, he couldn't help but wonder.
Gu Shouyuan asked with a blushing face, "How many people have gone in now?" ”
The sergeant guarding the door took the booklet on the table next to the door and replied: "Back to the examiner, 12,000 sergeants have been stationed outside the inner wall waiting to enter the courtyard, the same examiner has reached eight, the surveillance officer has already entered the hospital, and the officer who prints the papers, the officer who receives the papers, the officer who collects the test papers, and the officials who seal the papers have all arrived. ”
"The transcriber has arrived, but not a single person."
"Two of them have arrived, and two more have not arrived!"
"The rest of the search, prison, search, and supply have all arrived!"
"There are two hundred and seventy-three inner curtain officials, and one hundred and ten people have not yet arrived!"
In response to the Tianfu Township test, the number of participants exceeded 10,000 at every turn, because one person has one number, and each number has a special person to watch. It's not like some film and television dramas, there is only one person in one aisle.
In that case, the cheaters are expected to be flooded.
Therefore, every year in the township test, the imperial court will mobilize soldiers from the surrounding guards to go to the Jinling Tribute Academy.
These sergeants are numbered according to their origins, and if there are three generations of ancestors who have stayed in the same place as the three generations of candidates, they will be replaced.
Therefore, before the township test, these people will be stationed in the area between the inner and outer walls of the Gongyuan under the leadership of the officers of the guard, but they are not allowed to enter the number area of the Gongyuan to prevent malpractice.
After the sergeant finished the report, he thought that the main examination and promotion officer were going to enter the door.
was about to turn around and open the door, but Gu Shouyuan said: "Go, move a dozen benches!" ”
The sergeant is stupid, what's wrong? Isn't it a locked yard today? The main examination and promotion did not go to the Tribute Academy, but were spent outside.
Gu Shouyuan didn't need to explain to him, after the stool was moved, the three of them sat down with a golden sword, waiting for the storm that was about to hit them.
After a while, horse-drawn carriages gathered from all corners of Jinling City in the night tributary courtyard.
The first to rush to the gate of the Gongyuan was Liu Hao, the priest of the Nanjing Guozi, who was a native of Min County, Fujian, and a member of the "Yi" of the National Dynasty.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, he yawned and smiled when he saw Gu Shouyuan: "Mingshan, what time is this, don't you go in and wait to lock the courtyard, do you still call the old man to come over and give you a strong trip?" ”
It is said that the officials in Nanjing are here to support the elderly, just listen to this person's words, they really didn't wronged them, the township test is about to lock the hospital, but the chief examiner called people in the middle of the night, can't it explain the problem?
Gu Shouyuan was also speechless by this duke's big article, but he smiled quietly: "Grand Duke Wen, please sit down and rest!" ”
Only then did Liu Hao wonder: "What's the matter?" The old man still has something to do at home! ”
Gu Shouyuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll say it again when the ministers in Nanjing arrive." ”
Liu Hao probably realized that things were not good and wanted to leave, but he was curious, so he sat down nervously not far from Xu He.
When he saw Xu He, he was also a little curious, how did a member of Lan Shirt come to the Gongyuan when he was locked in the courtyard, and he came with Gu Shouyuan and Wang Liangchen.
"Who are you? It's almost locked up, what are you doing here? ”
Xu He bared his white teeth in the night and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, the general soldier of Caoyun Mao Yuan came to you a few years ago, please help arrange for a scholar surnamed Wu to be imprisoned......
Liu Hao smiled when he heard this: "Oh, I have the impression that you are Wu Decao?" ”
"No, I'm not!"
“……”
As he spoke, the leaders of the six departments in Nanjing gradually arrived.
Some of these people looked impatient, some didn't say anything, some yawned, and some simply sat on the stool, didn't ask what was wrong, took care of themselves and patted their thighs and hummed songs, looking sober in the world.
Gu Shouyuan was also very helpless when he saw this scene, but when he saw that everyone was together, he got up and faced everyone: "The Gongyuan is about to be locked, and in three days, it will be this year's Nanzhili Township Test!" ”
Speaking of this, he clenched his fists and arched his hand to the north and said: "His Majesty the Emperor believes in me and entrusts me to be the main examiner of this Nanzhixiang test!" ”
When a group of Nanjing officials heard this, they immediately offered it.
They are all idle officials, don't look at the rank is much higher than Gu Shouyuan, but their political future is not comparable to others at all, and they can only be envious when they hear this.
But Gu Shouyuan changed his words and said to everyone: "But I have failed the emperor's grace, just now, I learned that the four book questions of this township examination have been leaked, so I specially invite you to come and discuss!" ”
When the officials heard about the leak, the relaxed look on their faces disappeared suddenly.
Several of them turned their heads and were about to leave, with all kinds of reasons in their mouths, and they sent the neighbor's cat and dog to fall in love.
Gu Shouyuan didn't stop him, he looked at everyone with a smile.
The officials who were about to leave stopped halfway through and turned back and said, "Mingshan, you are trying to harm us!" ”
The big guy who has done this position, when he encounters such a major event as the township test, who doesn't have some relatives and friends to ask for it?
Those people didn't ask them to help cheat, but in these years, the relationship network between the township party, colleagues, the same year, and the seat teacher is very complicated.
If you leave at this time, Gu Shouyuan doesn't need to join them, as long as you list the people present in the recital to the emperor, and everyone else has arrived, then you haven't arrived, or you left halfway, then are you the most suspicious?
Got caught!
