Chapter 276: Scholars are the most unscrupulous
After hearing Fang Bai's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think much about it anymore! Although he hadn't gotten along with this Fang Jieyuan much, in this Fang Bai's few words, he could also understand how much of this Fang Bai's temperament was, and he was very straightforward, how could he hear a few lies from the mouths of such people?
"In this case, it is the palace that has lost its temper, and I hope that Qin Xiang will forgive me!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said while speaking, but there was still a bit of arrogance on his face, speaking of this, this Jiang Boyu paused for a moment, and then spoke again, and said softly: "It's just that this palace has already come here, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, about the fraud in this field, Fang Jieyuan is still good to talk to us!"
After Qin Huizhi heard such words, he also opened his mouth to respond, "Yes, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, since we have met together, let's make these things clear here, and it will save this Fang Xie Yuan to go to the court again in the future!"
After Fang Bai heard these words, he still didn't have any expression on his face, he lowered his head and muttered for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said softly: "What I know before, I have already told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the whole book, and I haven't hidden anything about it!"
There was a little disappointment on Qin Huizhi's face, and he glanced at the expression on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, and was about to say something, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the lead in interrupting him: "Those previous words, this palace has also made it clear in the court, if Qin Xiang doesn't believe it, you can confirm it with this Fang Jieyuan!"
Qin Huizhi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, since Your Highness said yes, that's it!" It's just that after these words, this Qin Xiang continued to speak, this time speaking to that Fang Xie Yuan, "Fang Xie Yuan, His Highness said that the leaked exam questions were bought by you from the fortune teller, but I don't know, can you tell me where the fortune teller is?"
After Fang Bai heard these words, he didn't think about it on his face, as if he had expected this Zuo Xiang to ask himself like this, and then spoke: "I've been there before, but I haven't seen that gentleman, I'm afraid that this matter will be leaked, so I left early!"
After hearing this, this Qin Hui's face was quite calm, after all, it is normal to investigate the case, and it is normal to give birth to such things, besides, there are too many people involved in this matter, whether there is that fortune teller, it will not have much impact, after all, there are still those scholars, right?
As I said before, there is no male under the knees of this Qin Xiang, and the mother-in-law in the house gave birth to all of them, but fortunately, our Zuo Xiangye is open-minded, and he does not have the idea of patriarchy in the Zhuang family, and he is also very fond of his daughters!
Among these girls, except for the eldest lady who recruited Qiao Yuanming as her son-in-law and the second lady who married the second prince, the rest of them have never been out of the cabinet, no, seeing that the third lady is about to stay at home, this Zuo Xiangye's heart is really anxious, and he often pays attention to these proud scholars in the capital on weekdays.
"Fang Jieyuan's knowledge and character are all first-class, but I don't know, Fang Jieyuan is married?"
Before Fang Xie Yuan could speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the side had already taken the lead in speaking: "Haha, it seems that the third lady in Xiangye's mansion is still not married, and that's it, our Fang Xie Yuansheng is naturally very likable!
After hearing these things, this Fang Bai knew what the prime minister meant, and there was a little embarrassment on his face, and he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly!
......
The three of them sat on the stall for a while, and they didn't call it anything, they just borrowed the store's land for a purpose, but that Qin Xiang still gave the store a lot of silver, and he made a generous move, and this Fang Bai was also an eye-opener this time!
After saying those words, this Fang Bai remembered what had just happened in the Dengke Building, and he was anxious, for fear that those scholars would be annoyed and angry, and something would happen in that store, and he would frighten his own mother-in-law, and he didn't dare to stay longer, even if the prince personally invited him, he was politely rejected by Fang Bai!
After waiting for Fang Bai to return to this Dengke Building, the store was empty, and the scholars who were talking here before were also gone, as for why, this Fang Bai didn't think much about it, of course, he really didn't want to think about these things!
After a few steps to this counter, looking at the shopkeeper who was holding his head and dialing the abacus back and forth, this Fang Bai thought of his previous words, and said softly: "Shopkeeper?"
"Huh?" I'm afraid that the shopkeeper's mind has already been put on other things, and he was distracted, this time he was really startled by this Fang Bai's words, raised his eyes, and saw that it was Fang Bai, his face was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, he changed to a smiling face, looked at that Fang Bai, and said softly: "Isn't this Fang Xie Yuan?"
Seeing this, this Fang Bai didn't say anything, but took out the silver ingots that the shopkeeper gave him from his arms, put them on the counter, and said: "Those who do business pay attention to one person who is willing to do business, and a few people are not in charge."
If you want to let Zai Xia live in this store, Fang Bai just goes! These silver taels can't be accepted in Xia!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper's face changed, and he actually looked a little frightened, and quickly pushed the silver back to Fang Bai, and said softly: "Where is it, the villain was blinded by lard before, and he dared not let Fang Xie Yuan live in the store, Fang Xie Yuan can live as long as he wants! These silver taels, Fang Xie Yuan still accepts them, it should be regarded as compensation for the other party's rude things in our store!"
Fang Bai saw this, his face was full of helplessness and doubts, the shopkeeper drove himself away before, why did he just go out for a while, and then he changed again? Although he was thinking like this, this Fang Bai never asked anything, but pushed the silver two over again, and said: "In this case, I will live here first, but these silver taels can't be accepted, so the shopkeeper will not be embarrassed with me!"
After saying these words, this Fang Bai did not hesitate much in front of this cabinet, got up and raised his steps, and walked towards the upper floor, not even giving this shopkeeper a chance to speak!
Besides, the shopkeeper, the scholars I met before, although they all opened their mouths and said that they were all closed, but they still did things like us laymen, they were all masters who saw money, and I thought that this Fang Jieyuan didn't love money like this, and this shopkeeper was the first time to see it!
"Shopkeeper, what did Fang Xie Yuan say?" After waiting for Fang Bai to leave, several small servants on the side also came to the side of the shopkeeper, looking at the figure of Fang Xie Yuan leaving, he couldn't help the torture of those doubts in his heart, and whispered to his shopkeeper!
The shopkeeper didn't answer the little guy's words, his eyes still stayed on Fang Bai's back, and he whispered to the little guy: "San'er, do you say that there are really people in this world who don't love money?"
The little guy thought about it carefully, and seemed to have a result in his heart, and then, he turned his head again, looked at his shopkeeper and said softly: "Where do I know if there is anyone who doesn't love money, anyway, I love, if they don't like those money, then give it to me, I definitely won't have too much!"
As soon as the little guy's words fell, he saw the shopkeeper slap on the top of his head, blowing his beard, glaring at his eyes, and his face was full of hatred for iron but not steel, and shouted: "You kid, why did you fall into the eyes of money at a young age? If they are like you, what kind of bad will this world become!"
But it was said that this Fang Jieyuan thought of his own lady, hurried back to his room, pushed the door in, and saw that his lady was still sitting at the head of the bed intact and mending her clothes, and she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart!
It's just that after waiting for this Fang Jieyuan to get closer, he can see the clothes in his wife's hand, and he feels a bad feeling! If this Fang Jieyuan is not mistaken, it was still personally picked for the lady when he and his wife got married, but it has been several years in a flash, and this dress has long been patched, but his own lady is still reluctant to change!
Thinking that he had read the book for so many years, but he couldn't even add a piece of women's clothes, this Fang Bai's heart inexplicably gave birth to a little remorse, he knew that when Fang was just below, he didn't hold it, and took those silver taels from the shopkeeper's hand, and he would definitely be able to buy a good dress for his own lady!
Hearing the movement coming in at the door, this lady of the Fang family looked up and saw her father-in-law standing there, looking at herself with straight eyes, even though she was an old husband and wife who had been married for several years, but this lady of the Fang family still had some shyness in her heart, and her face was covered with a little pink!
"What do you see, they're all coming in, why don't you sit down and rest, saying that you are going down to order some food, why have you been out for so long?"
After hearing these words, this Fang Xie Yuan also came back to his senses, turned his eyes, looked at his own lady, smiled on his face, and said: "When Fang just went down, there were some things, and they were delayed, the lady hasn't eaten yet, you said I forgot about it, the lady waited, I'll go down and order some food!"
"Okay, this meal has been delivered!" said the lady of the Fang family, Haosheng put away the needles and threads in her arms, got up and came to the table, and opened the lunch box!
Seeing this, Fang Bai was puzzled, these drinks and dishes must not have been called by his own lady, and he didn't know who got them for himself?
In the end, it is a husband and wife who have been together for many years, what is thinking in Fang Bai's heart, he hasn't said it yet, just one expression, this Fang family lady already knows! Seeing the expression on Fang Bai's face, he knows that he is puzzled about the origin of these wines and dishes, this Fang family lady opened her mouth to explain!
"Not long before Xianggong went down, there were some movements outside the door, saying that there were several scholars who were invited by the Dali Temple, and the movement was not small, I was about to go to see the excitement, and a small guy came in with a lunch box at the bottom, put these on the table, said that it was given to us in the store, and did not wait for me to say something, so I ran away!"
"The lady said, several scholars have been taken away by Dali Temple?" asked Fang Bai, with a little eagerness on his face!
"Yes, where did Xianggong go, don't you even know such things?"
"Sure enough!" Fang Bai said secretly, and he also had a little realization in his heart, his front foot left with the left phase, and the kung fu of the back foot, these scholars were invited to Dali Temple, and they all thought that they had said something to Zuo Xiang, otherwise, how could the shopkeeper be so attentive?
Seeing that Fang Bai only cared about his own hair, the doubts on the face of this Fang family lady were even worse, and then she spoke again: "Xianggong? Xianggong! Where did you go, why did you come back so unrelenting?"
After hearing these words, this Fang Bai came back to his senses, sat down next to the table, picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of red waist flowers and added them to his mouth, mellow and fragrant, with endless aftertaste, hey, this Dengkelou's craftsmanship is really better than those ordinary inns!
"Oh, when I went down just now, I happened to meet Zuo Xiang who was also going to ask me about the fraud in the field, so I went out with him for a while!" After eating a few pieces of the waist flower, this Qin Xiang's face was also very satisfied, and he opened his mouth as he spoke, and poured himself a glass of wine!
"The lady also eats, this craft is indeed better than our Hanzhou!"
This lady of the Fang family did not reprimand Fang Bai for drinking for the first time, and after hearing Fang Bai's words, she also sat aside, but she still never moved the chopsticks, but instead lifted the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine for her father-in-law, and handed it to Fang Bai, waiting for him to put that glass of wine into her stomach, this Fang family lady spoke again!
"That's it, nothing else?"
"Oh, something else, there's really one!" Fang Bai ate those drinks and dishes, and didn't think much about it when he spoke, following his own lady's words, what did he say!
"What's that going on?"
"Zuo Xiang is planning to marry me the three thousand gold in his house!"
"What?" After hearing these words, the lady of the Fang family, who had asked incomparably before, seemed to be a different person this time, raised her hand and grabbed one of Fang Bai's ears tightly, frowned, and shouted: "What's the matter, our Fang Xie Yuan is not in high school yet, and he is already planning to change his daughter-in-law?"
"It hurts! Lady light, that's what Zuo Xiang meant, I didn't agree!
......
Dali Temple, this takes the prison name of the heavenly officials and nobles is called Dali, and the people who can be interrogated by this Dali Temple on weekdays are all these civil and military ministers in the court or those relatives of the emperor!
Speaking of these, I have to talk about the two chief judges of the Dali Temple in the past few days, the same two who had a wrong conversation with Fang Jieyuan before, and the current prince is still facing the left!
The stakes are very high in this field of fraud, but it is indeed difficult to distinguish who cheated and who did not cheat among those scholars and scholars.
Thanks to this Zuo Xiang, he went to the Dengke Building before, and saw the faces of those scholars and scholars, and knew that there were many cheating people in the Dengke Building, so he explained the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the two went to the Dali Temple together and gave the order to take the people, and it was like this, these scholars would receive these courtesies!
"Smack!" But I heard a startled sound falling, only to see that the top was still the Zuo Xiangye and the prince, these two people lowered their eyes, looked at the scholars under the hall, Zuo Xiang took the lead in speaking aloud: "This time the prime minister and His Royal Highness the prince jointly tried this kind of case of fraud in the department, and the words you said in the Dengke building before, the prime minister heard them, and he had already admitted that kind of thing, this time he came to this court, and you still didn't recruit from the truth?"
"That's right," from the actual recruitment, how to buy the exam questions has been made clear to the palace! If you dare to conceal the slightest bit, let alone the fame of the scientific examination, whether this name can be left is another matter!" The crown prince Jiang Boyu glared fiercely and said!
Most of these scholars are lazy people who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, as for those backbones, hum, scholars are the most unscrupulous! After listening to the singing and harmony between the prince Jiang Boyue and Zuo Xiang Qin Huizhi, how could the dozen or so Confucian scholars in this hall still be able to withstand it, and they knelt on the ground with their brushes brushed, and they never made any excuses, but just raised their backs and shouted forgiveness for their sins!
"Your Highness spares your life, we will not dare to hide it!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qin Xiang glanced at each other, only feeling that this time it was too easy, and they were originally afraid that there would be a few backbones in it, who would have thought that they were all such soft bones, and they didn't even need to be punished, so they were going to be recruited!
"Okay, in that case, come here, stay with them, open them separately, record the confession and let them go!"
"I've listened to Qin Xiang for a long time!" This Jiang Boyao was also very proud in his heart, and he added a little smile to his face, which was meaningful!
......
Scholars are the most rare!
