Chapter 417: The Case Begins and Ends II
Lang Zhong from the Rejuvenation Hall came to check on Teng Xuan's recovery from his injuries, saying that his neck injury might affect his speech in the future.
It is difficult to say whether this situation will be temporary or permanent, depending on the degree of recovery in the future.
Teng Xuan didn't care about not being able to speak, he was already grateful for being able to save a small life.
Teng Xuan, who was able to barely get out of bed, did the first thing he did was to kneel down for Seocho and Mu Yirong, who had been guarding him, and kowtow to thank the two for their life-saving kindness.
Mu Yirong hurriedly helped him up, saying that he was so sensible, he shouldn't do those foolish things. However, it is not too late to learn from the pain and change the past.
Teng Xuan, who shed tears of remorse, sat at the table, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write hard, page after page of the book of crimes.
The content is basically the same as what Seocho and Mu Yirong learned, and there are some speculations that are basically the same.
Teng Huangyu, who came to Shangjing from Ningzhou to participate in this year's Enke exam, in order to save money, lived in the same room as the fellow scholar Zhongju in the Laifu Inn.
Then on the same day, he brought special gifts from his hometown to visit his cousin Teng Xuan, who had moved to Shangjing a few years ago to serve as an official.
After Teng Xuan and his wife moved to Shangjing, this was the first time that a fellow villager came to visit, and he was naturally very happy.
And Teng Huangyu's parents also contributed money to fund Teng Xuan's book in the past, and they can be regarded as Teng Xuan's benefactor. Therefore, Teng Xuan and his wife, who were originally very hospitable, immediately put out good wine and food to entertain Teng Huangyu, and warmly invited him to live in the house.
Teng Huangyu is also a person who can speak well, with a sweet mouth, and he picks out some good auspicious words, which makes Teng Xuan and his wife very happy, and the guests and hosts are happy.
After the dismissal, Teng Huangyu did not stay in Teng Xuan's mansion to live, saying that he wanted to have more contact with this year's candidates with his fellow villagers, discuss and study together, and expand his contacts to plan for the future.
Teng Xuan thought that Teng Huangyu's idea was good, so he invited him to come to the house often.
At that time, Teng Xuan was just polite words, but after Teng Huangyu, he really came to Teng Xuan's mansion as a guest from time to time, but he never knew how to be empty-handed.
Teng Xuan admires this junior of the same clan very much, and every time the two meet, they talk very speculatively, and they both have the feeling of sympathy for each other and hatred of seeing each other.
But a few days later, Teng Huangyu suddenly invited Teng Xuan to drink outside, originally Teng Xuan was worried that Teng Huangyu would not bring much travel expenses, so he insisted on drinking in his own house, but Teng Huangyu told him that someone invited them to drink.
Teng Huangyu said that after he arrived in the capital, he made several friends, one of whom was a friend who was rich in money and had a bold and generous temperament, invited Teng Huangyu to have a few meals together, and heard that he was Teng Xuan's nephew, so he generously invited Teng Xuan to drink together in the tavern.
Teng Xuan, who was a little hesitant, heard some rumors before that he might continue to serve as an invigilator this year, so he couldn't help but delay refusing, so as not to be accused of using his power for personal gain and accepting bribes.
Teng Huangyu smiled and asked him to put a hundred hearts into his stomach, the other party was just pure hospitality, and he would never ask anything to embarrass Teng Xuan.
Teng Xuan, who was suspicious, was dragged to Double Happiness Restaurant by Teng Huangyu. It was there that he met the group of people in the bag.
At that time, he didn't know that Baozhong later sold leaked test papers, and at that time he only knew that he was a famous "broker" in the capital.
When he first came into contact with Baozhong, Teng Xuan felt that the person in Baozhong was very good, he was very happy to drink and talk, although he looked a little unattractive, he was still a big bald head, but he was indeed very generous and easy to make friends. Every time I go out to eat, I rush to pay for the money, and I never let others spend a penny.
After going back and forth, Teng Xuan and Bao Zhongren gradually became familiar with each other, and their words and actions became casual.
Later, it didn't take long for Bao Zhong to confess to Teng Xuan that he had a good deal to make a lot of money, and asked Teng Xuan if he wanted to make a fortune together?
Because of the cheerful and heroic spirit in the bag, Teng Xuan did not doubt him, thinking that the other party was sincere and willing to take him to make a fortune together, so he asked how many silver taels he needed to invest?
In the bag that shook his head with a smile, he said that this is a business without capital, and he does not need a silver tael.
Teng Xuan, who didn't believe in this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, couldn't help but be vigilant, worried that the other party was going to do something to rob the road and rob money, and blackmail and kidnap tickets.
Finding that Teng Xuan suddenly became emotionally nervous, Bao Zhong laughed loudly and patted Teng Xuan on the shoulder, reassuring him that he was not a Jiangyang thief and would not do that kind of murder and arson.
As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Teng Xuan's ear.
After listening to Bao Zhong's whispers to him, Teng Xuan thought that he was drunk and misheard, and asked Bao Zhong to say it again.
Teng Huangyu, who had already been pulled into the bag for a long time, immediately said with a smile that there was a way in the bag, and if he could get this year's Enke exam questions, Teng Xuan could sell these exam questions to candidates he knew and take a cut from them.
Teng Xuan had also been an invigilator before, and he knew that almost every Enke exam, there was a leak of questions, but he never participated in it.
Teng Xuan, who had never done anything illegal, was very hesitant, Teng Huangyu saw it and immediately began to lobby.
The leakage of questions in the Dawn Ke exam has existed over the years, and there has never been any problem, and it is still a costless thing.
If it weren't for the generous friends like Bao Zhong, who are kind and righteous, how could such a good thing of smiling and making a fortune easily fall on their heads.
Saying that, Teng Huangyu began to introduce in detail how much money they could get for every leaked test paper sold.
Teng Huangyu had already taken the leak question from the bag before, sold it to some familiar candidates, and earned a lot of silver taels, so that he could often buy gifts to visit Teng Xuan's mansion.
He also assured that the transaction was very safe, and that there would be no problems with the big names of the Hanlin Academy.
Candidates who bought leaked test papers would never be stupid enough to go around talking about it, they just need to make money with peace of mind.
In the end, Teng Xuan was moved by the persuasion of Teng Huangyu and a few others, took a few leaked exam papers from his bag, and sold them to several candidates he was familiar with.
Teng Xuan did a very covert job in this matter, and repeatedly warned the candidates who bought the leaked exam papers from him to secretly solve the questions and memorize them, and they must not leak them to others.
People who spent money to buy the exam papers are naturally reluctant to share them with others. Therefore, there were no accidents at all in the matter of a few people in the bag selling leaked exam papers.
Until, Teng Huangyu, who had earned a lot of silver, was very happy and drank a lot of wine, and was hot-headed that he would definitely be named on the gold list, and he couldn't help but be a little arrogant, and boasted to Zhongju, a scholar who lived in the same house. accidentally revealed the tone of his mouth, and shook out the leaking of the test papers, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
