In the second floor lobby of Zuihong Building, some people are playing boxing, some are drinking, and some are teasing the beauty.

When Lin Junran appeared here again, the living room was much quieter in an instant, and many scholars cast envious eyes on him, including teasing eyes.

He immediately understood what everyone was thinking, but felt wronged. He wanted to explain, but he just went there for a meal, and the courtesan didn't say a word to him at all.

But when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back, knowing that everyone would definitely not believe it.

When he returned to his seat, he heard two unexpected news.

One is about the young scholar just now, Wu Guifang, the right-sponsor of the Guangdong Provincial Administration, and he was from a third-rank local official.

This Wu Guanzheng was successful at a young age. He was the second-class Jinshi at the age of 23. Later, he had a prosperous career. With his achievements in fighting against the Japanese in Yangzhou, he added his political capital. He was a rising star in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty and was very likely to be promoted to the title of Shangshu in the future.

Another news is that a new bet was born.

Western Guangdong beat Dai Shuisheng's group in the couple. Dai Shuisheng's group was very dissatisfied and provoked them. The two sides bet again that the results of the provincial examination were bet, comparing the number of people who won the imperial examination compared to the two tables.

Due to the number of people and strength, the people in western Guangdong are one and three, and the other side is obviously full of contempt.

"Don't be proud! The results of the provincial examination will be released in a few days. I see how many of you can laugh!" Long Tengfei looked at Lin Weiran and immediately said aloud with hatred.

Lin Weiran frowned slightly, and he had no confidence in the bet at all.

Although he learned in advance that these people had already opened the joints and got the word "passing the level" in advance, his ability was still very limited. Apart from reporting to the Jinyiwei, there were not many ways.

Now he was not sure whether this matter would eventually turn into a protection of officials. This major fraud case was not revealed, and their group of people laughed to the end.

But then again, even if the Jinyiwei followed the clues and found out the major fraud case, it would be after the list was released. I would be embarrassed that day.

"When I understand Yuan, I am afraid I will also be favored by the courtesan!"

From the time Lin Qingran walked into the lobby, Li Xueyi stared at him with chills in his eyes and a burst of jealousy in his heart.

However, he quickly comforted himself that this time he performed extraordinaryly in the provincial examination, and with those passing bytes, the Jie Yuan was simply a matter of deciding on the board. At that time, the courtesan would probably invite him upstairs and even become a guest of the curtain.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xue raised his head and drank the wine, looking forward to the launch date as soon as possible.

After the provincial examination, candidates can get drunk quickly, but the examiner cannot, and even the real test begins.

This day, the sun is bright.

Under the stone bridge of Gongqiao, six examiners wearing official uniforms of different grades stood there waiting in an orderly manner, and behind them were the Jinyiwei who was supervising their review of the papers.

Similar to the outer curtain, the inner curtain also has a strict system. These examiners are not completely free and have to accept supervision from the Jinyiwei. At least they are not allowed to contact the outside world, nor can they take a step forward here.

Not long after, the outer curtain officer hurriedly appeared on the other end of the bridge, lowered his head and gave the four test papers to the sergeant, looked here for a moment, and then hurriedly left.

The sergeant sent the test papers, and the examiner Yin Tai took four bundles of the test papers, and led everyone back to Jieshen Hall.

Jieshentang is their office space for marking papers, and all six of them have to live in Jukuitang behind, where they have to eat and live in these days.

Yin Tai placed four bundles of test papers on the table table in front of the statue of Confucius and performed a ritual.

"We have been deeply grateful to the emperor and presided over the provincial examination in Dingsi Enke, Guangdong, and used talents to help the country. We should uphold the fairness and not commit personal gains - if we violate this heart, the gods will kill each other!"

"If there is any disobeying this heart, the gods will kill each other!"

The chief examiner Yin Tai swore to the statue of Confucius, and the other five examiners also swore, which was the rule before the provincial examination papers.

"Come up and get the scroll!"

There are four test papers sent in total, and each examiner will receive one, which is determined by the lottery.

The chief examiner Yin Tai and the deputy chief examiner Zhang Mu returned to the hall of Jieshen Hall and sat down in their respective positions. The two of them were not responsible for the review work. They were similar to the outer curtain, and the inner curtain also had a process.

The inner curtain marking can be summarized in one sentence: stay and stay in the same exam, and the higher and lower exams are the main exam.

The four fellow examiners were responsible for reviewing these more than 2,000 test papers. The test papers they selected were called "recommended papers", but the test papers that were not selected were called "fall papers". The "recommended papers" were handed over to the deputy examiner Zhang Mu. As if he thought the test papers were OK, he wrote the word "take".

Only when these test papers with "take" characters will have the opportunity to go to the examiner Yin Tai. The examiner Yin Tai thought the test paper was OK, so he wrote the word "Zhong" on the test paper, and the winner would be born.

Of course, the examiner actually has one power, which is to "search" more than 2,000 test papers.

You can go through the deputy examiner and the examiner to directly select some satisfactory test papers from the "fall papers" and directly finalize these test papers as "middle papers".

Yin Tai sat in front of the big case, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was sleeping, but his thoughts turned to the current dynasty. If there was any major event discovered in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, it would undoubtedly be the fall of the Minister of Personnel who followed Yan Hao's arm-walking.

Jiajing was an emperor who was good at power. During his thirty-six years of his reign, he changed his prime minister twenty-two times, and Yan Hao also had ups and downs. However, Jiajing seemed to be uneasy about Yan Hao, so he used the Qing Li Mo when he was in charge of personnel.

It was precisely because of Jiajing's support that Li Mo was definitely tougher than an ordinary minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he also had a lot of capital. He was the teacher of Lu Bing, the leader of the Jinyiwei.

Relying on this political resource, he raised his butcher knife to the officials in Beijing. Last year, he carried out a huge "Beijing Inspection" and laid off a group of redundant officials, and began to establish his power.

Some old disciples were taken care of, especially in the highly authoritative candidates of the Zhejiang-Zhizhi Governor General, Li Mo defeated Yan Hao and elected Wang Gao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.

An old-age official in Nanjing actually took over the local governor of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places in one fell swoop, and presided over the most important anti-Japanese matters of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Mo's big move immediately shocked the government and the people, and gave the Qingliu people in Nanjing to see hope.

Yin Tai also regarded himself as Qingliu, so he was very excited at that time, thinking that the court would rectify the chaos, the Yan Party would fall, and Qingliu would be prosperous. Due to his relationship with Li Mo, he also saw the hope of returning to the center of power and even had the opportunity to become a cabinet master in the future.

Yin Tai clearly remembered the scene that was practiced by Wang Gao that day. At that time, a group of Qingliu officials sent Wang Gao to Shili Pavilion. Everyone had infinite longing for the future, and everyone seemed to see hope of being re-activated.

But the situation changed so quickly, like a basin of cold water pouring on everyone's head. Li Mo, who was deeply grateful, suddenly fell down and was sent to the imperial prison, and then died inexplicably.
