Chapter 159: The papers enter Beijing
On the way back to the yamen from the examination room, Liu Tongzhi wanted to scold people.
Every word is so thought-provoking!
A bullshit self-sacrifice in order to seek reform in the court!
The bullshit is good intentions!
A white scroll is a white scroll!
Wei Liangchen was clearly ignorant of his skills. He saw through the profound meaning of the Mansion Master. He didn't know what the background of the Wei family was. He deserved that Mansion Master was so unconscience-abiding and decided to be the first in the A-level class.
Liu Tongzhi recalled in his mind whether there were any wealthy families in Hejian with the surname Wei and whether there were officials in the Wei family, but after thinking about it, he did not.
This made him a little uneasy, so he hurriedly asked the sedan chairman to stop, lift the curtain of the sedan chair and order his entourage to investigate Wei Liangchen's background.
If something goes wrong, it will be a monster.
Liu Tongzhi felt that the more he could not think of it, the more it meant that the candidate named Wei Liangchen must have a very deep background. And Chen Lun knew, but he didn't know.
This also made Liu Tongzhi the most uneasy. After returning to the yamen with uneasiness and confusion, he just changed his clothes, and the master came over with panic and said that the people from the Jinyiwei wanted to see him.
This made Liu Tongzhi panic and cheered up and went to see the visitor uneasy. As a result, the visitor claimed to be the guard of the little uncle, and some small things needed to be solved by him.
Then, the scene of a brothel came.
Song Jiangjian, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, specially guarded Zheng Guotai to the south of the Yangtze River. Before that, he and Zheng Guotai had been friends who had been playing for ten years, and the two of them grew up together.
Song Jiangjian's father Song Shijie was once the deputy general. He was killed in the Battle of Bitumen Hall in the 21st of Wanli. After his father's death, Song Jiangjian was appointed as a 100-household household in the Jinyiwei. The Japanese sword he held was seized from a Japanese general during the battle of aiding Korea by his father during the Battle of Pyongyang.
After Song Shijie was killed, the head coach of the Ming army, Li Rusong, specially brought the Japanese sword back to his country and handed it over to Song Shijie's wife, and since then it became the family heirloom of the Song family.
When my younger brother went to Jiangnan, the concubine, as my sister, naturally made many arrangements secretly to ensure her brother's safety. Zheng Guotai had more than ten followers, most of whom were Jinyiwei.
After discovering Xiao Guo's uncle sneaked out in the morning, Song Jiangjian found Xiao Guo's whereabouts without any effort. However, considering Xiao Guo's uncle's face, Song Jiangjian did not show up and kept following him secretly. As a result, he saw Xiao Guo's uncle hesitating outside the brothel for a long time, hesitating to enter but not enter. Finally, Xiao Guo's uncle pulled a passing boy into the brothel together.
After leaving a mark on his subordinates, Song Jiangjian also sneaked into the brothel. He was an Jinyiwei and had received special training from the guards. He had his own way not to disturb the little uncle and that boy.
Mr. Liu and his party entered the building, left the building, and went there, and the Jinyiwei outside followed him. After the signal upstairs was sent, someone immediately went to Tongzhiyamen.
The most effective way to solve the problem is to solve the problem.
Now, the trouble is solved.
Liu Tongzhi confirmed that Wei Liangchen was indeed the first in the first place, which made Zheng Guotai and Song Jiangjian look at Wei Liangchen with admiration, especially the latter was extremely surprised.
Of course, Liu Tongzhi would not say in front of his uncle that Wei Liangchen was handing over Zhang Bai's paper, but only said that Wei Liangchen's paper was highly valued by Chen Lun, and he admired it very much in his words. He had personally decided that Wei Liangchen was the first in the examination of this year, and he was only waiting for the announcement date.
At the same time, he suddenly realized why Chen Lun decided to be the first in the first place in the blank paper without his conscience. It turned out that Wei Liangchen was really a big shot.
He turned out to be the Imperial Concubine!
Not only that, the young man went to the brothel with his little uncle. What does this mean? This means that the young man is either extremely heavy or a close relative of the Zheng family.
Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to hang out with his little uncle?
Liu Tongzhi became more and more shocked the more he thought about it. What was shocked was not that the boy named Wei Liangchen had such a big background, but that he was unaware of this matter from beginning to end, and was kept in the dark, but Chen Lun knew about it!
Does this mean that Chen Lun has completely defected to the Imperial Concubine through his godfather Jin Zhong, or does this mean that Liu Guotai's status in the Imperial Concubine's mind has plummeted and has been replaced by Chen Lun?
This is very likely. Why didn’t Xiao Guo’s uncle send someone to tell him that he was here early, and why didn’t he reveal Wei Liangchen’s story to him?
Liu Guotai was there, although he had a smile on his face, but his heart was cold. He was thinking about how to remedy it, and gain the attention of the little uncle again and the favor of the imperial concubine.
When I glanced at my son kneeling on the ground, I felt even more annoyed for no reason. If it weren't for my own son, I would have slapped him in the face.
"I didn't expect that you are really talented." Song Jiangjian tsk a few times and asked Wei Liangchen curiously how he wrote the article.
"this…"
Liangchen was very embarrassed, and Liu Tongzhi was also a little embarrassed, for fear that Wei Liangchen would let him say something, so he hurriedly covered up his words for him and then asked his uncle to go to the yamen so that he could fulfill his friendship as a landlord.
"I just passed by Hejian, but my sister told me not to beat Qiufeng from you local officials." Zheng Guotai smiled and refused Liu Tongzhi's banquet, and he really didn't want to go.
Liu Tongzhi smiled and asked again, saying that if the prefect Chen Lun knew that the arrival of his uncle, he would definitely blame him.
"Chen Lun?" Zheng Guotai had an impression of this man, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'd better go, so as not to return to Beijing, the old lady Jin said that I would not give him face to his adopted son."
Chen Lun is the adopted son of Sili eunuch Jin Zhong, which is no secret in the Hejian officialdom.
Because Jin Zhong has always been a supporter of his sister, Zheng Guotai decided to go to the yamen to meet Chen Lun. He had no other thoughts, but Liu Tongzhi's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
"Wei Liangchen." Zheng Guotai called Liangchen.
"Hmm?" Liangchen didn't know what the other party asked him to do.
Zheng Guotai smiled and said, "You go with me too."
"I... won't go."
Liangchen didn't want to have too much interaction with Zheng Guotai, so as not to shoot himself in the foot and scatter his second uncle's pot. However, Zheng Guotai insisted on asking him to go, saying that the prefect ordered you Wei Liangchenjia and the first place. If you don't go to thank the prefect for this small case, you can't say anything.
Liangchen could not avoid the situation in front of him, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.
At this moment, Liu Tongzhi personally led the way and asked someone to hurry up to inform Chen Lun.
When Chen Lun heard that Xiao Guo's uncle was coming, he quickly ordered someone to buy food and drinks, and came to greet him in person. When Chen Lun saw that Wei Liangchen was actually following Xiao Guo's uncle, he was shocked.
Zheng Guotai made some polite words with him, and the guest and the host and the host entered the prefect's office together.
In the back hall, the wine and food have been purchased.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Lun was about to order someone to serve the gift, but he heard Zheng Guotai say, "By the way, Lord Chen, Lord Liu said that you have made Wei Liangchen the first in the first place, is there any such thing?"
“Uh…yes.”
Chen Lun said a few times. He knew that Liu Guotai was the concubine, so he told Xiaoguo uncle about this matter. However, he didn't know what the relationship between Wei Liangchen and Xiaoguo uncle had.
He muttered to himself, and secretly complained that Liu Guotai was able to hide and pretend. He knew that Wei Liangchen was from his little uncle, but he did not tell him clearly that he was doing it on purpose in the exam room. If he had listened to Liu Guotai's opinion at that time, wouldn't it be bad now?
Liangchen sat there, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He ran away several times along the way, and he didn't even dare to look at Chen Lun.
This mind is really empty.
But this boy Zheng Guotai doesn’t open any pot to bring up any pot. Why do you always mention the exam for me, a primary school student, about your big matter?
"Can he show me his paper?"
Zheng Guotai said casually, but found that both Chen Lun, Liu Tongzhi, and Wei Liangchen sitting next to him all looked strange.
"What?" Zheng Guotai was a little surprised.
"It's too late today, so why don't you watch it tomorrow." Chen Lun wanted to delay, but this little uncle became very angry for a while, and he probably won't remember this tomorrow.
"It's okay, I'll go and get it." Song Jiangjian, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, was idle and stood up and said.
Chen Lun was a little panicked: "Young Master really wants to see it?"
"Well, I like good articles the most. It is rare for people around me to be the first to be the first, so I have to take a look first." Zheng Guotai smiled and looked at Wei Liangchen. He was also kind-hearted and wanted to support Wei Liangchen. Everyone was carrying the flower sedan chair.
"Then let someone take it."
Chen Lun had no choice, but since Wei Liangchen was your little uncle, he would do his best or not. Your little uncle would do it by himself.
After taking the paper, Chen Lun handed him to Zheng Guotai with awkward expression, and then looked at Wei Liangchen and smiled bitterly.
Liangchen also smiled bitterly, no need to guess, Zheng Guotai's expression must be very interesting after the paper was opened.
Sure enough, after opening the test paper, Zheng Guotai and Song Jiangjian were stunned. The expressions were really interesting.
In the house, you can hear a quiet needle.
After a long time, Fang heard Song Jiangjian say three words, but it was "interesting".
"It's interesting."
