Chapter 13 A Difficult Case, a Difficult Prefect

The sound of beating gongs and drums gradually dissipated, and the winners were naturally elated and even cried with joy, but those candidates who had not yet received the good news suddenly couldn't sit still.

"I've already reported to the tenth place, why haven't I yet?"

Even Lin Nuo couldn't help frowning at this time, although he lacked some connotation in the article, but there was no trace of wrongness, in his opinion, it shouldn't be a big problem to lift people!

And at this moment, the door of his room was suddenly opened, and one of the stewards of the inn ran in in a hurry, and knelt down and kowtowed when he entered.

"Congratulations to Master Lin High School, the villain has asked you for a lottery!"

Lin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the chair, handed the steward some broken silver, and then walked towards the door.

Lin Nuo was in the middle of the lift, and there was no special reaction, but the innkeeper, who seemed to be happier than him, gathered behind him, shouting as he walked.

"Everyone, Master Lin is out!"

On the first floor of the inn, after seeing Lin Nuo appear, a group of officials who reported the good news kowtowed excitedly in his direction one by one.

"Congratulations to Master Lin!"

For the new imperial examination people, this is a day of great joy, and for these officials who report the good news, it is a more important day than the New Year.

If they are lucky, the money they get today is enough to cover their wages for a year.

After waiting for a year, I counted on today's benefit, so these people who reported the good news were also extraordinarily hardworking, whether it was kowtowing or shouting, they were even crazier than the star chasers in later generations.

Looking at the people who kowtowed and cheered and called him the lord, Lin Nuo's expression was a little trance for a while, looking at the scene in front of him that was completely different from the later life, until now, he accepted this era from his heart, and understood that he could never go back.

He took a big red plaque from the hand of the person who reported the good news, and saw that it read: "Good news Jianchang old man Lin Nuo, the second place in the high school Jiangxi Township Examination Yayuan, Beijing Daily even appeared in Huangjia." ”

Winning the second place, Rao is Lin Nuo did not attach much importance to the ranking, but he still couldn't help but be a little happy, and without waiting for others to ask for money, he began to distribute silver to the people around him who reported the good news, causing everyone to cheer continuously.

Lin Nuo has no money, but Xiu'er is from a rich family, and he is not short of money, and he does not feel embarrassed at all when he spends his own lady's money.

The nominal husband and wife, that is also the husband and wife, the money of their daughter-in-law, isn't that their own?

Two people, what else do you see?

At this moment, outside the inn, there was another gong and drum sound.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, today in this Tongxin Inn, not only did there be a second place, could it be that the first place also came from here?

At this time, the happiest person is the innkeeper. The first place Xie Yuan and the second place Yayuan in Qiu Yu are all from his Tongxin Inn, and his own inn will be very famous in the future!

"Hurry up and ask Master Xu to come out, congratulations to Xu Wei and Master Xu for the first place in High School!"

Before the sound of gongs and drums stopped, a loud voice came in from outside the door, and then several excited people rushed in.

Lin Nuo turned his head and looked behind him, only to see that at the stairs on the second floor, a young man with a round face and a little chubby was walking down with vague steps, patting his chest and muttering quietly as he walked.

"I was scared to death, I almost thought I didn't hit!"

After being helped to the first floor, and after the scholar distributed some silver taels to everyone, Xu Wei sat down, rubbed the plaque in his arms, and happily looked at Lin Nuo.

"Brother Lin, I'm right, this time, I, Xu Wei, finally won the lift!"

Lin Nuo smiled and nodded, but his heart was full of doubts.

Even if Lin Nuo is not proficient in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he also knows that although Xu Wei is a great talent, in fact, the road to the imperial examination is not smooth, and people only embark on the official career when they are middle-aged.

And Xu Wei in front of him, although his body is a little fat, he actually looks about twenty years old, and he is in the season of youth, why did he get lifted?

Is it because you are stimulated by yourself?

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Nuo no longer worried about this matter. In this world, even internal strength exists, the Sun Moon Divine Sect, the Wuyue Sword Sect or something exist, and Xu Weizhong won the first place, which is not unusual!

Here, Lin Nuo is proud, but on the other side, the two brothers Zhao are not happy.

Bang Bang Bang!

The sound of the wooden plank hitting the body was thumping, and the overstepping sue was sued, and no matter what the reason, he had to be beaten first.

After such a meal, the people with weak bodies can even be beaten to death, even if they are strong and strong people like Zhao Da and the others, they feel unbearable, and the entire lower body is even about to lose consciousness.

The two brothers of the Zhao family were in pain, and the Lord Zhang Yi and the prefect of Zhang Yi, who was sitting in the high hall, also had a headache at this time.

He has been an official for many years and has seen a lot of things, just by reading the lawsuit, he already knows in his heart that what Zhao Da and the others said should be true.

There are definitely not a few girls who died in the hands of Li Xiuwen's family in Anyi County.

But it is precisely because of this that the prefect made a difficulty.

In the county under his rule, such a major murder occurred, and the perpetrator was still a county official, and as the prefect, he was absolutely immune to the charge of 'not detecting'.

And if this case is confirmed, the impact is too great, and the dignified court Qipin County Order actually kills people and digs out their hearts and spreads it, what will the court become in the eyes of the people in the future?

A gang of robbers who kill people without blinking? A demon cave that loves to eat people's hearts?

How will the prestige of the imperial court and the government be maintained in the future?

"Lord Prefect, this matter is not easy to handle!"

When Zhao Da and the others in the hall were being beaten, and Zhang Yi in the hall was in distress, the master on the side walked forward quickly and invited him to the back hall.

"Nonsense, of course I know that things are not easy to do, if this matter spreads, our entire officialdom in Nanchang Mansion will cause great turmoil!" Zhang Yi choked angrily, looking a little upset.

"My lord, I'm not talking about this!" the master looked cautiously from side to side, and then whispered in the prefect's ear.

"My lord doesn't know, the only son of the prefect of Anyi County seems to have a lot to do with King Ning!"

"King Ning?!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Yi was suddenly, his original face was just difficult, but now, it directly changed to a frightened look.

In the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion of the vassal kings has always been a problem.

And this King Ning, whose fief is in Nanchang, is even more of a restless lord.

Today's Jiangxi territory, not only Nanchang, but also other state capitals, King Ning's power has penetrated.

In Jiangxi, especially in Nanchang, only if King Ning recognizes you, you can sit firmly in the position, if King Ning sees you unhappy, there is a way to let you roll up and get out.

To put it mildly, in other places in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's words are holy decrees, but in this Nanchang, King Ning's words are holy decrees!

Zhang Yi has served in the Nanchang prefect for many years, not to mention how close he is to King Ning, but he has never dared to offend that behemoth-like force, so he can sit firmly in this prefect's position.

And now, if he disposes of Li Xiuwen's family in Anyi County, I am afraid that he will not have to wait for the imperial court to treat him for the crime of 'not detecting', just the pass of King Ning, he will not be able to get through.

Over the years, he has known very well how ruthless King Ning is.

He has already seen too many things that offended Queen Ning for no reason!
