Gu Hongyuan walked out of the ceremony team and said anxiously: "What the hell, tell me where Jiang Zhao is?"

No wonder Gu Hongyuan was so anxious. When he saw Jiang Zhao's article during the examination that day, he wanted to see who the person who wrote such a wonderful article was.

But Jiang Zhao ran away too quickly at that time and missed him.

When the results were released this morning, Gu Hongyuan thought he could see Jiang Zhao, but Jiang Zhao still didn't show up.

How can this not make Gu Hongyuan anxious?

So when delivering the golden flower post today, he personally followed the ceremony team to deliver the golden flower post to Jiang Zhao. Unexpectedly, no one came to collect the golden flower post after the officials called several times.

Gu Hongyuan was anxious.

He was worried whether Jiang Zhao had been recruited by those aristocratic families, or had been assassinated by the children of the aristocratic families.

Over the years, this kind of thing has happened one after another.

As the saying goes, talented people come from poor families.

Although children from poor families are poor, they are more eager to obtain fame than children from aristocratic families, and they also work harder when studying.

But there is one person at the top of the list. The aristocratic family has powerful hands and eyes, and they will always use various endless means to prevent the children from poor families from participating in the palace examination.

Some are willing to be recruited by aristocratic families, while others want to give it a try, but are assassinated by the children of those aristocratic families.

Now that the poor family finally gave birth to Jiang Zhao, they must not let the aristocratic family succeed again.

Si Mubai didn't know Gu Hongyuan, but judging from his clothes, he probably wasn't a minor official.

Seeing that the anxiety in his expression did not seem to be hypocritical, he raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency, after the exam that day, Brother Jiang Zhao and I will go to the restaurant to drink and relax together."

"Unexpectedly, on the way back, I met a man who failed to marry his wife and instead beat his own wife. Brother Jiang Zhao, who usually hates evil, stepped forward to fight for the woman's injustice and went to Kyoto to report to the official."

"Unexpectedly, the Governor of Kyoto thought that the wife was just a family member, so he did not want to take the case. Brother Jiang Zhao was young and energetic, and he contradicted the Governor in a rage."

"I was thrown into prison by Lord Fu Yin and sentenced to three thousand miles of exile."

Si Mubai told Gu Hongyuan the whole story without adding any extraneous details.

He knew that if he added fuel to the fire, Gu Hongyuan would know as soon as he checked, and it would harm Jiang Zhao.

Listening to Simubai's words, Gu Hongyuan's expression did not change at all.

Just ask: "Is what you said true?"

Now this is just a one-sided statement from Si Mubai. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he can sit in his current position, so naturally he will not trust anyone easily.

Simu Bai did not expect Gu Hongyuan to completely believe in him. He just hoped that Gu Hongyuan would follow him to the prison in Kyoto Prefecture to have a look.

So he replied: "Whether what Wan Sheng said is true, you only need to go with Wan Sheng to the Kyoto Prefecture Prison to find out."

Seeing Si Mubai's appearance, Gu Hongyuan was convinced.

If you deceive him, you will definitely not be able to go to Kyoto Prefecture with him. Wouldn't that be throwing yourself into a trap?

Moreover, according to the laws of the Heavenly Realm, the matter of marrying a wife was indeed illegal. Jiang Zhao went to report it to the official, but was thrown into prison and even exiled three thousand miles away.

Even if Jiang Zhao is just a commoner, he should not be exiled for three thousand miles. He can be allowed to return home after being taught a lesson at most.

Only those who committed extremely heinous crimes or officials who made serious mistakes would be exiled for three thousand years.

But Jiang Zhao still had fame and honor. Even if Chen Lianghan didn't know that Jiang Zhao passed the Huiyuan examination, even if he was a Huiyuan, he had no right to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Gu Hongyuan said: "I will facilitate you to go to Kyoto. If what you say is true, I will definitely make the decision for Jiang Zhao."

"But if you lie to deceive me, I will definitely give you fifty blows."

Simu Bai was not angry, he just raised his hand and said yes, everything he said was true.

Gu Hongyuan went to Kyoto Prefecture with him.

Inside Kyoto Prefecture.

Chen Lianghan is handling various cases, large and small, in Huaijing City.

It has to be said that Chen Lianghan was able to sit in this position with quite a few tricks.

Although he is usually greedy, when faced with cases where there is no money to be made, he becomes more attentive and wins a lot of good reputation for himself.

Therefore, the vision of heaven and earth when Jiang Zhao composed the poem "Qin Jie" last time did not have much impact on him.

Suddenly, a subordinate came down from outside the door and reported: "Sir, Mr. Gu, the Minister of Staff, is here."

After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Chen Lianghan was puzzled. He and the Ministry of Personnel in Kyoto had always been in harmony with each other, so why did the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel suddenly come here today?

However, he was doubtful, so Chen Lianghan still got up and prepared to greet him. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was a second-rank official, which was more than a star and a half higher than his fourth-rank official.

When Chen Lianghan came to the living room, he saw Gu Hongyuan sitting on the table drinking tea. Next to him stood Si Mubai, dressed in white.

Chen Lianghan muttered in his heart, why is this boy Si Mubai here? He came with the Minister of Civil Affairs.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and immediately gave his confidant a look. The confidant had been with him for many years, and he understood what he meant with just one look, and went to do things.

Gu Hongyuan, who was sitting in his seat, saw Chen Lianghan walking in. The expression on Chen Lianghan's face changed instantly, with a slightly flattering smile, he stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Master Gu personally came to Kyoto Prefecture today, and he made the Kyoto Prefecture shine brightly."

But Gu Hongyuan didn't take his advice and said coldly: "This Kyoto Prefecture is His Majesty's Kyoto Prefecture. When did it become yours?"

Along the way, he talked with Simubai and found that Simubai was a good young man with good conduct and a desire to make progress.

Gu Hongyuan has been an official for many years, so he still has the ability to recognize people.

So I believed most of what Simubai said at the inn.

What's more, Chen Lianghan's behavior can deceive the people, but he can't deceive him. On weekdays, he plunders people's fat and money, and whoever gives more money will win the lawsuit.

Therefore, Gu Hongyuan did not give him a good look.

When Gu Hongyuan said this, Chen Lianghan said somewhat sarcastically: "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. I hope Mr. Gu will not take the blame."

Gu Hongyuan snorted coldly and said, "I'm not here to blame you, but because of Jiang Zhao."

"I heard that Jiang Zhao was a civil servant. However, he came to report to the official about arranging a woman's wife, but you put him in jail and sentenced him to three thousand miles of exile. Is this possible?"

After listening to Gu Hongyuan's words, Chen Lianghan glanced at Si Mubai and instantly understood their purpose.

This was to bring the Minister of Personnel to find a place for Jiang Zhao, but he didn't expect that Si Mubai could actually invite the Minister of Personnel.

At the same time, he cursed in his heart Jing Huarong, the eldest son of Zhenguo Palace.

That Jiang Zhao had this background did not even tell him. If he knew that Jiang Zhao had Gu Hongyuan as his backer, he would not dare to exile Jiang Zhao even if he had 800 courages.
