Liang Lian's father and son can be regarded as 'having a soul' in designing to frame Xu Xian, and the two have the same ideas, and they both decided to let Xu Xian live happily for a few days before the township test.

After the township test begins, Xu Xian will no longer be greeted by a carp jumping over the dragon gate and becoming a man, but a place to die without a burial!

However, if you want to do this, Lord Liang can't do it himself.

Although he is in a high position, he is not the chief examiner of the Suzhou Fuxiang Examination. The chief examiner of this township examination, the imperial court has already issued a holy decree to determine the candidate, and it is Chen Lun, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.

Speaking of this Chen Lun, he is also quite a famous figure in the Dali Dynasty, from the children of the poor family to participate in the imperial examination all the way, ten years of hard study, and finally fortunate to go to the palace examination, become the top three of the current session, and obtain the position of Tanhua!

Later, he became an official and achieved the position of the current governor of Suzhou Prefecture, and he also had a very good reputation, with an iron face that was selfless, fair and honest, and was a well-known good official, never preying on the people.

However, although Chen Lun has great ambitions and does not tend to climb to power, he does not understand Xu Zhengqing, the original scholar and politician of Hangzhou Prefecture, he does not have the courage of Xu Zhengqing to make a desperate bet, and he knows how to protect himself.

Xu Zhengqing was a Beijing official at the beginning, because he stood on the side of the 'main battle faction' and did a lot of radical things, and was finally seized by the 'appeasement faction' and sent to Hangzhou Mansion to be an idle student and politician.

And Chen Lun doesn't cling to power, but he doesn't want to offend power!

Since he became an official, he has never expressed his position on which side he is on, and he does not want to be caught in the whirlpool of partisanship. Originally, after the imperial examination, he had the opportunity to stay in the capital. However, after seeing the current situation of the imperial court clearly, he took the initiative to choose to leave the capital and transfer to other places.

Therefore, a person like Chen Lun is a hard bone, and it is not easy to get him to help frame Xu Xian.

Usually, with the status of Liang Wangye, he didn't bother to deal with a small prefect at all, but this time he took the initiative to set up a banquet in the palace and invited Chen Lun to come to the banquet.

......

......

Chen Lun has been very busy lately.

As the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, he is already busy with official business on weekdays, and with the triennial imperial examination coming, he has more things to do as the chief examiner.

In addition to official business, he also has a lot of personal affairs.

His wife is nine months pregnant, and she is about to give birth, and her mood is very unstable, and her amniotic water may break at any time, so she needs to be taken care of by him from time to time. He has to go back to accompany his wife as soon as he finishes his official duties every day, which can be said to be very busy.

It was a crisp autumn day, with good weather and warm sunshine.

Chen Lun was in the backyard of the palace, supporting his wife to walk carefully in the garden, when he suddenly heard an official messenger reporting that an invitation from the Liang Wangfu had been delivered, and Chen Lun was invited to the Liang Wangfu for a banquet in the evening.

"Master, why did this Liang Wangye suddenly invite you to a banquet? You must know that you have been paying in Suzhou Mansion for so many years, and Liang Wangfu has never invited you. Cui Younan asked with a big belly, his hands on his waist, looking at the invitation.

Chen Lun's wife, Cui Younan, is not only very beautiful, she is one of the best beauties in Suzhou, but she is also literate and hyphenated, and knows how to understand righteousness, which is not comparable to ordinary little women.

Chen Lun was also a little worried when he looked at the invitation, but he had some guesses in his heart, and said, "It should be because of the township test." ”

As the chief examiner of this township examination, Chen Lun naturally has a lot of understanding of the candidates for reference. He knew that this Suzhou Fuxiang exam could be said to be the most valued one over the years, and there were too many talented people who took the exam, such as Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong. Secondly, there is also the only son of Liang Wangye, Liang Lian!

Chen Lun guessed in his heart that Liang Wangfu invited him to the banquet at this time, most likely because he wanted to go through the back door and let him take care of Liang Lian.

"You go back and tell Lord Liang that I've been too busy lately, and my wife is about to give birth, so I really can't leave. After a while, I will come to the door in person to apologize. Chen Lun thought about it and shirked the guards of the Liang Wangfu who sent the invitation.

Where was the guard willing to leave, he immediately knelt down, and said with a frightened face: "Please also invite the prefect to the banquet, before I came, Lord Liang personally instructed me, saying that if I can't invite the prefect back to the house, let me not go back......"

When Chen Lun heard this, he had a hunch in his heart that it was not very good.

I even forced him to go to the banquet.

Obviously, there is no such thing as a good feast!

At this time, Cui Younan also saw a little doorway, and persuaded him: "Master, you should go to the banquet tonight, I have nothing to do here." After speaking, she whispered in Chen Lun's ear: "No matter what Lord Liang tells you, whether you want to do it or not, you can find a way after listening." If you don't even go like this, but if you don't give him face, he will definitely not give up......"

Chen Lun felt justified when he heard it, so he accepted the invitation and promised to go to the banquet in the evening.

If it is really as he guessed, Liang Wangye wants to give his son Liang Lian the back door and cheat in the township test, he will act when he sees the opportunity. Anyway, the situation in the examination room is changing rapidly, and he is not the only invigilator, if there is any accident at that time, he can't help, and I believe that Liang Wangye can't say anything.

If you don't agree to go to the banquet directly, it won't be easy.

In the evening, Chen Lun finished his official business, changed the official mansion, put on a plain clothes, and arrived at the Liang Wang's mansion.

Liang Wang Ye paid great attention to Chen Lun, went out directly to greet him, and said with a smile: "It's better to see than to hear, I have long heard that Lord Chen, the prefect of our Suzhou Mansion, is honest and decent, selfless, and is a good official who loves the people like a son. Come in. ”

"Lord Liang's words are serious, and the officials can't afford it. Chen Lun hurriedly returned the salute.

Liang Wangye and Liang Lian's father and son glanced at each other, smiled, and welcomed Chen Lun into the palace.

Chen Lun behaved very humbly, in their opinion, this Chen Lun prefect is quite knowledgeable, he is a person who understands current affairs, so that today's matter will be easy to handle.

Good wine, good food, and dancing girls.

Liang Wangye and his wife, Liang Lian, as the host, behaved extremely enthusiastically, and after hearing that Chen Lun's wife was about to give birth, Mrs. Liang immediately ordered her subordinates to go to the palace treasury and brought a lot of nourishing things, and asked Chen Lun to take them back to his wife.

However, Chen Lun didn't dare to drink too much wine, and he always kept an eye on it.

Finally, after three rounds of drinking, the time was almost up, and Liang Wangye made a look and asked his wife to dismiss all the servants who were waiting, and only Liang Wangye, Liang Lian, and Chen Lun were left in the room.

Lord Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Governor Chen, I can't hide it, today there is actually something in this king, I want to ask you for help......"
