After a moment, Xu Ji also changed into a servant costume and hurriedly walked out, holding a food cage in his hand.

Fanning could see clearly, and he cursed in his heart, "No creativity, picking up people's wisdom!"

It was far apart, and Fan Ning couldn't hear what Xu Ji was saying, so he pointed to the food cage and pointed outside.

A soldier suddenly pointed at him and shouted angrily, knocked off his hat, and grabbed a scholar's uniform from his food cage.

Xu Ji was exposed on the spot. He ran out desperately, but the soldiers hugged him in the waist and pressed him to the ground. He heard him vaguely yelling in anger.

"Someone went out like this just now. If you don't catch him, you will let him go for nothing. Now you want to catch me. You are simply bastards! Bastards!"

A soldier was so angry that he was scolded that he punched him in the face, and Xu Ji was immediately stunned.

.........

Soon, dozens of captured scholars walked out dejectedly and were taken to Kaifeng Prefecture to register and deal with it. Fan Ning finally saw Su Liang. He was covered in dust, as if he had crawled into a hole. Behind him was Cheng Ze, who lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Liang was so depressed that he was about to cry. He walked out the door and looked around. Fan Ning knew that he was looking for him. At this time, Fan Ning saw Xu Ji again. He was the last one to come out and was also looking around. What was he looking for?

At this time, Fan Ning was not easy to show up. He knew Xu Ji very well. If he saw him, he would definitely drag him into the water.

Fanning turned around and ran towards the depths of the alley.

.........

Before noon, a ox cart arrived at Zhu Pei's door. Fan Ning jumped out of the ox cart and ran towards the Zhu family gate.

Ouyang Xiu, who was willing to help him, became the examiner and had been quarantined. In fact, even if he was not quarantined, Fan Ning was embarrassed to use such a thing to bother Ouyang Xiu.

There is also Bao Zheng who can help, but Fan Ning only knows that Bao Zheng was transferred back to the capital in June. He doesn't know which department the court is in, and he doesn't know where his home is.

At this time, the reinforcements were like putting out fires, and the only thing he could find now was Zhu Pei.

Fanning rushed up the steps, clasped his fists to the doorman and said, "Please report to Zhu Pei, the little master of the mansion, for me, Fanning will find her if there is an urgent matter!"

The concierge smiled and said, "I know Mr. Fan, but I'm sorry, my little master went out early in the morning."

Fan Ning was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Where has she been?"

The concierge shook his head, "The whereabouts of the little master are not what I should know, but she went out with her parents. Please come back another day!"

Fan Ning felt disappointed and had to retreat from the stairs. Zhu Pei was not at home. What should I do?

He doesn't care about Cheng Ze's life or death, he only cares about Su Liang. If Su Liang is disqualified from the imperial examination for this, he really can't explain to Su Liang's parents?

But after thinking about it, he had no choice but to do anything. For a moment, Fanning was extremely anxious.

At this moment, a loud voice came from behind, "Is it Fan Shaolang?"

When Fan Ning turned around, he saw Zhu Yuanfeng walking out of the mansion.

Fanning felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Old man, I'll ask you for help!"

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a year or two. We have finally seen each other once, so why would you catch me? "

Fan Ning bowed and said, "I am so anxious now that I am so anxious that I can help me this time no matter what. I will drink with you afterwards.

When Zhu Yuanfeng saw Fan Ning sweating profusely, he seemed to have something urgent to do. Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "Tell me! I need my help in anything."

"That's right. This morning, a friend and I went to a brothel with us to redeem people..."

Fan Ning told Zhu Yuanfeng in detail about the story of him and Su Liang going to the brothel to redeem Cheng Ze.

Zhu Yuanfeng was interesting to hear, and finally couldn't help laughing, "You are very kind, but unfortunately you are so lucky. You happened to meet the Ministry of Rites to clean up a brothel. You escaped by luck, and your friend may not be so lucky."

"The problem is that he is only twelve years old, and he is only thirteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Will he go to a brothel to find a woman?" Fanning couldn't help but said in anger.

Zhu Yuanfeng shook his head, "The bureaucrats of the Ministry of Rites never care about how old you are. As long as you catch them in a brothel, they will be treated as prostitution and will be disqualified from the imperial examination. This is their usual way of handling it, simple and crude."

Fanning held back his anger and said, "No matter how many people are now, I want to rescue my friend and ask the old man for help."

Zhu Yuanfeng looked at the sky and it was noon now, so he nodded and said, "It's time for lunch now, maybe you really have this luck."

.........

Su Liang was taken back to Kaifeng Government Office. Like more than 100 other scholars, everyone squatted in the courtyard of the Government Office, waiting for disposal.

The main thing to deal with is to identify identities one by one, register and book, and then everyone can go back and wait for the final notification from the Ministry of Rites.

However, it is lunch time, and the officials go to have lunch and rest. Let these scholars regret it for a while before they start registering and booking in the afternoon.

Of course, according to the records of previous sessions of the candidates who deal with illegal regulations, this group of people may be in danger.

Most scholars also knew in their hearts that some scholars squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, while others stood by the wall and were extremely regretful and hit their heads against the wall.

Some scholars also had no ambitions, and the court punished them only to stop the provincial examination qualification, not to deprive them of the title of Juren. Anyway, they could not pass the Jinshi exam, so they would be satisfied if they had a title of Juren.

For example, Cheng Ze is a typical representative of this type of person. He came to Beijing to play and never thought that he could pass the Jinshi exam.

Bu Cheng Ze still felt a little ashamed of Su Liang. Su Liang came to redeem him, but in the end he implicated Su Liang. He himself didn't know how to comfort his future brother-in-law.

Su Liang squatted in the corner of the wall and choked silently. He was already in tears. When he thought that his future was ruined, he couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears again.

At this time, a yamen runner walked quickly behind Su Liang and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Liang slowly turned around and saw that there was a famous yamen runner behind him, so he was stunned for a moment.

"Are you Su Liang, who is applying for the Boy School?"

“That’s right!”

The yamen runner waved to him, "Come with me!"

Su Liang stood up in a daze, followed the yamen runners to a small door.

Most people didn't notice this scene, but Cheng Ze was stunned and watched Su Liang follow the yamen runner into the room.

Su Liang walked into the small door. This was a yamen runner's room, and there was a door leading directly to the outside of the government office. The yamen runner opened the door and said to Su Liang: "You go quickly!"

Su Liang was stunned and stuttered for a while: "Can I... leave?"

"No, someone will protect you, hurry up and leave. When the officials come back, you won't be able to leave."

Su Liang was suddenly excited. He hurriedly bowed to the yamen runners and went out in a panic.

When he walked out of Kaifeng Prefecture, Su Liang felt like he was dreaming. He covered his face and cried with joy.

At this time, Fanning's teasing came not far away, "Are you whipped inside?"

When Su Liang saw Fanning, his nose felt sore, he stepped forward and hugged Fanning tightly, and cried out with sobs.

"I can't stand it!"

Fanning pushed him away with disgusting and hungry expressions, "Don't do this, I don't like being hugged by men, let's go! Let's go drink and suppress our shock."

"Fan Ning, am I really okay?" Su Liang asked with tears.

"Have you registered in it? The official knows that your name is Su Liang?" Fan Ning asked with a smile.

Su Liang shook his head, "It's not time to register."

"That's all."

Fan Ning patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Let's go! Mr. Zhu spent a lot of money to redeem you. You should respect the old man a glass of wine later."

"Which old man Zhu?"

"Jupai's third grandfather, the one who used to make wine with me."

"I understand, where are the others? I must thank him."

Fan Ning took Su Liang into a carriage. Su Liang saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in the car. He turned his head and bowed, "Thank you senior for saving me!"

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled, "This favor is something Fan Ning owe me, you don't have to thank me too much!"

Fanning scratched his head, "Old man, what do you mean? I owe you a favor?"

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Yuanfeng looked at Fan Ning with a smile, "You kid want to burn the bridge across the river?"

Fan Ning said helplessly: "I don't dare to do it. Let's go for lunch first. I'll respect you a few cups!"
