Wen Boyuan saw that the middle-aged man's hand was about to touch the silver ticket, and his body just moved subconsciously, but he saw his Royal Highness waving his hand and stopped him with his eyes.

Although he was angry in his heart, he could only retreat and stand aside and watch coldly.

The middle-aged man only had the silver ticket in his eyes, as if he saw that the silver of the white flower was flowing into his pocket.

With a smile on his face, he carefully put away the silver ticket, as if he was holding a rare treasure, and the look on his face seemed to have seen the glory and wealth of the second half of his life.

He respectfully led Zhao Yingluo out of the room on the second floor, down the narrow and steep staircase, towards the third floor, where the lights were brighter.

Every step was taken carefully, as if he was afraid of offending the God of Wealth.

Inside the third floor, the atmosphere is very different from the first and second floors.

The decoration here is more luxurious, and the lights are bright, reflecting the oily faces of Zhang Ruzhou and several other officials.

"In this year's Jinshi list, I think we can make Li Gongzi's ranking go a little further." Zhang Ruzhou stroked his long beard and said slowly, his tone full of unquestionable authority.

"However, this Li Gongzi's talent ......" The other official seemed to hesitate, but before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Zhang Ruzhou's sharp eyes.

"Talent can be cultivated, and the important thing is that he knows how to repay the favor." Zhang Ruzhou interrupted him, his tone revealing greed and cunning, "We want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good profit." ”

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the middle-aged man led Zhao Yingluo in.

Zhang Ruzhou raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with his sharp eyes.

I saw that Zhao Yingluo was dressed luxuriously, with an extraordinary temperament, and there was an innate nobility and arrogance between her eyebrows. This kind of temperament made Zhang Ruzhou feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"This Lang Jun looks a little familiar." He frowned and pondered, but nothing came of it.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly whispered a few words in Zhang Ruzhou's ear.

His words were full of flattery and flattery, as if he was giving Zhang Ruzhou a big gift.

Zhang Ruzhou's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and the greed on his face became more and more obvious.

He looked Zhao Yingluo up and down, as if he was looking at a piece of fat to be slaughtered.

"Since Lang Jun is not short of silver taels, how many do you want to rank in the Jinshi?" He asked with a smile, his tone full of temptation and teasing.

Zhao Yingluo looked at Zhang Ruzhou's greedy face, and sneered in her heart.

It is truly shameful that these corrupt officials openly sell their official positions and use the imperial examination as a tool for them to accumulate wealth.

However, she didn't show any emotion on the surface, and said calmly: "I want the champion." ”

"Oh, I'm really sorry, Lang Jun, the position of champion must be personally selected by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I can't be the master of this."

Zhang Ruzhou shook his head in embarrassment and said, "But I can find a way to position other positions besides the top ten." ”

Zhao Yingluo scolded secretly in her heart when she heard this, but she kept a smile on her face and said, "Then the eleventh." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhang Ruzhou stretched out a finger, "If you want to be the eleventh place of Jinshi, this price is not low." 100,000 taels of silver can't be missing. ”

Wen Boyuan stood aside and listened to it sincerely, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and trembled, and he couldn't wait to rush up immediately and beat up these corrupt officials.

But he was stopped by Zhao Yingluo's stern look, and could only stand aside with anger.

"Okay, 100,000 taels is 100,000 taels." Zhao Yingluo's tone did not have the slightest hesitation, as if the 100,000 taels of silver were just a drop in the bucket for her.

She knew that the only way to get rid of the moths was to go deep into the tiger's den, and all she needed to do was to continue to play her role and wait for the right time.

Zhang Ruzhou looked at Zhao Yingluo's unhesitating appearance, and the fire of greed in his heart became more and more vigorous.

He seemed to have seen the white silver flowing into his pocket, and he couldn't help but smile smugly.

He didn't expect that this son-in-law, who seemed to be a son of a rich family, would be so generous, God help me!

Little did he know, however, that he was falling into an elaborate trap.

Zhao Yingluo looked at Zhang Ruzhou's smug smile and sneered secretly in her heart. It is really sad and lamentable, these corrupt officials do not hesitate to sell their souls and dignity for money!

She knew that she had achieved half of the purpose of her trip, and the next thing was to wait for the moment to wipe out these corrupt officials after the court meeting.

At this time, Zhang Ruzhou was completely immersed in the fantasy of the huge wealth that was about to arrive, and he seemed to have seen his future glory and wealth.

He didn't know that this generous "rich son" was actually a princess who had a private interview with Weifu, and he didn't know that his behavior had been completely exposed to the princess's sight.

"Lang Jun is really refreshing!" Zhang Ruzhou said with a smile, the greed on his face became more and more obvious, "Since this is the case, then we will make up our minds." As long as Lang Jun delivers the silver taels tomorrow, I will immediately arrange the Jinshi ranking for Lang Jun. ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Ruzhou: "Lord Zhang, the silver will be delivered on time tomorrow, and please bother to arrange it." Her tone was indifferent but unmistakably firm.

Zhang Ruzhou smiled all over his face, and nodded again and again: "Lang Jun rest assured, as long as the silver is in place, everything is easy to say." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Yingluo and Wen Boyuan left Chunfangyuan together.

After Zhao Yingluo left, one of the officials suddenly frowned, he looked at Zhang Ruzhou suspiciously, and said hesitantly: "Lord Zhang, do you think that Lang Jun just now seems to be a little similar to Her Royal Highness the princess Zhao Yingluo?" ”

When Zhang Ruzhou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you're dazzled!" Her Royal Highness the princess is a woman, how could the princess be a princess who was obviously a handsome gentleman just now? ”

The official touched his nose a little embarrassedly when Zhang Ruzhou said this, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I've been too tired lately, and I'm really a little dazzled." ”

However, Zhang Ruzhou's heart passed a trace of inexplicable unease.

Although he did not have the qualifications to go to the court, he had also seen Her Royal Highness the princess a few times, and recalled that the appearance and demeanor of the Langjun just now were indeed somewhat similar to Her Royal Highness the princess.

However, he quickly shook his head and threw the ridiculous idea out of his mind. How could Her Royal Highness the Princess go out on patrol and come to such a place?

Out of the gate of Chunfangyuan, Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath of fresh air, as if she wanted to spit out all the filthy air. Wen Boyuan followed closely beside her and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what should we do next?" ”

A sly glint flashed in Zhao Yingluo's eyes, "Don't worry, we have more important things to do." ”
