The enthusiastic Tao Dasheng said that he wanted to go to Dali Temple on an errand, and Mu Yirong expressed a warm welcome. Then, he set his eyes on the scholar Zhongju and asked the scholar Zhongju if he had ever thought about it, if it was the title of the gold list, where would he want to go?

Without thinking, the scholar Zhongju immediately said that he wanted to enter the Imperial History Terrace, rectify the current shortcomings, eliminate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and help the court re-establish a new style.

Mu Yirong nodded frequently when he heard this, appreciating that the scholar Zhongju had the world in mind and was a real man and a big man.

Speaking of their respective ideals, Tao Dasheng and Zhongju's faces were glowing, Mu Yirong, who was only a few years older than Tao Dasheng and scholar Zhongju, showed a relieved expression, if the Dao Imperial Court could recruit officials as ambitious as the two of them, they would definitely be able to reproduce the prosperity of the past.

Mu Yirong, who was a little excited, did not forget to look at Mu Yixing and asked him to study hard like the two of them.

Mu Yixing, who snorted disdainfully, said that the two of them have not even taken the Enke exam yet, and what ideals and ambitions they talk about are useless empty words, unrealistic on paper.

Then he also persuaded Mu Yirong not to be so emotional, soft-hearted and easy to trust others, how can he deal with extremely vicious and treacherous gangsters.

Saying that, he also looked at Tao Dasheng, saying that like him, a troublemaker with a temper, if he went to Dali Temple on an errand, he would only add chaos and make trouble for others.

Mu Yixing's personality was a little awkward, but Mu Yirong had never seen him say such mean words before, and he couldn't help but sink his face.

It's just that before he could speak, Seocho raised his hand and slapped Mu Yixing on the back of the head, asking him who is the curse of the crow's mouth here?

Facing Seocho, Mu Yixing lost his temper all of a sudden, but he still couldn't help but mumble quietly, saying that what he said was the truth. Advice is against the ear, good medicine is bitter, if you don't want to listen to it, forget it, he is not anyone's biological parents, there is no need to worry about others blindly.

Mu Yirong said no matter what, acquaintance is fate, if Tao Dasheng and scholar Zhongju encounter any problems or difficulties in Shangjing, they can come to Dali Temple or Mufu to find him.

Seocho, who slapped off the scumbags of the dim sum on her hands, also said that although she has no money and a low position, she is definitely a good hand at fighting.

If any ruffian scoundrel dares to trouble the two of them, as long as she squeaks, she will never say a word and help them get the field back.

Hearing this, Mu Yirong immediately smiled and asked Ruicao not to instigate the two to fight, and told Tao Dasheng and scholar Zhongju not to act impulsively like today and have unnecessary conflicts with others, so as not to delay the Enke exam.

Tao Dasheng, who was very teachable, and scholar Zhongju nodded again and again, but Mu Yixing didn't eat his eldest brother's set, so he didn't keep babbling about these nonsense.

Cao Yongle, who took notes all afternoon, smiled and played a round, Daomu Yirong has a saying that is very right, acquaintance is fate.

Raising a glass and replacing wine with tea, I wish Tao Dasheng and scholar Zhongju, as well as him and Mu Yixing, can all achieve good results in this year's benefactor exam, and they will be ministers in the same hall together in the future to continue this fate.

Cao Yongle's words were echoed by everyone, and even Mu Yixing, who had always been awkward, raised his teacup and said in unison that he hoped that they could continue this fate.

However, at this moment, there were a few people talking and laughing in the teahouse, and no one expected that the direction of this fate was that the scholar Zhongju died mysteriously in the examination room of the Gongyuan, and Tao Dasheng was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department as a murderer.

The examination room of the Gongyuan is divided into dozens of long examination institutes, and on the door of the examination institute without doors, pink plaques are hung, and there are inscriptions on them, and the words are not allowed to be "heaven", "Xuan", "emperor", "emperor" and other names related to the emperor and saints, nor can they be used "desolate" and "hanging" these fierce and unlucky words. 33

Mu Yirong and Seocho, with solemn expressions, stood in the examination hall with the word "Ren" hanging and the door open to the west in the faint light of the morning light, staring at the narrow number building in front of them.

In the long strip-shaped examination institute of Renzi, there are rows of number houses facing south from the north, one next to the other, a total of twenty-five, all of which are open to the south.

There is generally no door between the number house and the examination hall, and there is a number above the door frame, from west to east from one to twenty-five, without any taboo numbers.

The narrow round is less than seven feet deep and four feet wide, and it is long like a coffin.

There are brick brackets on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the narrow number room, two upper and lower lanes, and two wooden planks can be placed up and down on both sides to form tables and chairs, which can be used by candidates to read, write and take exams every day.

At night, or at leisure, you can also put two planks together and snap them into the brackets on the walls on both sides to form a sleeping board for sleeping and resting.

Normally, candidates who take the Enco exam will spend nine days and seven nights in a fixed examination hall building. During this period, whether it is eating, drinking, or sleeping during the exam, it is absolutely not allowed to step out of the gate of the examination hall for half a step.

There are special invigilators at the gate of the house, two shifts in the morning and evening, responsible for invigilating the examination during the day, responsible for supervising the rest of the candidates at night, and also responsible for supervising the candidates' eating, drinking, and entering and exiting the personnel.

Generally, there are 50 rooms in a row, and because there are rooms next to the Renzi number, there are only 25 rooms, which can accommodate 25 candidates.

The house near the location where the manure buckets are stored is called the "smelly house" because of the smell, which is the worst location of the house.

The location near the room also suffers from steaming and roasting, and is called "fire", which is also very unpopular.

As a result, the scholar Zhongju was very unlucky, his number was not only a stinky number, but also a fire number.

Usually, candidates who encounter this situation will talk to the examiner and change to a more comfortable room.

And in the past, in order not to affect the performance of candidates, such a distance between fire and odor will not be arranged for candidates.

But the scholar Zhongju didn't know which way he provoked the immortals, and died in this stinking and hot house.

Someone died on the first day of the imperial examination, and the two invigilators in the Renzi examination room stood behind Mu Yirong in a cold sweat, waiting for questioning, not to mention how ugly his face was.

Because the candidates have to study with candles, the lighting is set very brightly, after all, the candidates can't learn anything here.

It was dawn, and it was just dawning, and it was not clear to see, and all the lights had been lit, but the inside of the hall was still very dim, and the light was not sufficient.

Seocho, holding the torch, stepped forward and stood near the No. 25 building, looking in.

In Room 25, two planks were not put together, and the corpse of the scholar Zhongju was lying straight on its side on the ground, facing west, that is, on the left-hand side of the position where Seocho stood.
