Chapter 47: The Spreading Speed ??of the Horrible News of the Ancient People
Outside the crowd, Jing Huarong, who was sitting on the carriage and wanted to leave, was slightly startled when he saw this scene.
He never imagined that Jiang Zhao would be a woman, but he was immediately overjoyed.
Before the palace examination, he originally wanted to prevent Jiang Zhao from taking part in the palace examination, but he did so and arranged for Sanniang to put on a show.
Jing Huarong knew very well the character of these disciples from poor families, and when they saw injustice, they had to speak out to help them. If they were a little more cynical, they would draw their swords to help them.
Once the action is taken, no matter whether Jiang Zhao and the others win or lose, Jing Huarong will have a lot to do.
That day, he arranged for Sanniang and his servant to play the role of a domestically violent couple on the street. As long as Jiang Zhao blocked his exit, the servant would beat Jiang Zhao until he couldn't get out of bed.
If Jiang Zhao sends someone to stop him, he will use this as an article to tighten Jiang Zhao's grip.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhao not only had no excuses, but also did not take action. He actually went to Kyoto Prefecture to report to the official, and also offended Chen Lianghan, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture.
At that time, he thought, this would be good, Jiang Zhao could be sent to prison without him having to do anything. As long as he showed his face, he would be sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Zhao had time to be exiled, she actually ranked first in the general examination. An article "Born in sorrow and died in happiness" also attracted the attention of Gu Hongyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He personally sent a golden flower post to Jiang Zhao from Kyoto Prefecture.
He was fished out of jail
Later, he wanted to take action again and specially arranged a situation for Jiang Zhao, but at that time, Jiang Zhao had already qualified for the palace examination and could be called the Emperor's disciple, so it was difficult to make a move.
He also obtained the blueprint of the waterwheel by mistake. At that time, he saw the blueprint of the waterwheel and knew that the waterwheel was of great use. If he presented it to the emperor, it would be a great achievement, so he let Jiang Zhao and others go.
people.
Now Jiang Zhao actually disguises himself as a man. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Once Jiang Zhao is dismissed, the palace examination policy review will be re-selected. He was originally ranked fourth. Once the palace examination policy review is selected, he will most likely enter the top three, and then he will be added.
With the power of running a water tanker, he will surely rise to the top of the imperial court.
Jing Huarong immediately ordered the servants to spread the news throughout the city as quickly as possible.
All the boys who came out with him were mobilized, including the groom on the carriage.
Jing Huarong sat on the carriage with a slight smile on his face, and his original gloomy mood became quite happy.
He jumped off the carriage and walked home by himself.
As for Jiang Zhao and the others, they were surrounded by everyone and were targeted by thousands of people.
It was Wei Xiang who came to his senses first, took Jiang Zhao's hand, pushed aside the crowd, and quickly ran away from here.
If he continues to stay, I am afraid that Jiang Zhao will be criticized by thousands of people, and everyone here can drown Jiang Zhao with a spit of spit.
Everyone watched the two people running away, but no one chased them. The emperor would deal with them later. They were only responsible for watching the excitement and spreading the excitement.
Si Mubai looked at the backs of the two people leaving quickly and didn't react for a moment.
How could the wise brother Jiang Zhao who lived with him day and night be a woman?
However, he thought about it in his mind. He had suspected Jiang Zhao was a woman more than once before. Although she had a female appearance, Jiang Zhao's behavior was not that of a woman.
If Jiang Zhao could hear his inner thoughts at this time, he would probably not be able to help complaining about why her behavior is not like that of a woman?
Isn't it just that my personality is a little carefree?
But it's not that rude.
After Si Mubai came to his senses, he took Jiu Qi home quickly.
I thought that after Wei Xiang left with Jiang Zhao, he would probably go home.
He wanted to go home quickly and wait to ask Jiang Zhao what was going on?
After a few people left, all those who came to watch the excitement dispersed.
They need to spread this explosive news quickly. This is a good opportunity to win everyone's attention.
In this era, people did not have much entertainment. When they were not busy, they just sat in teahouses or restaurants and listened to gossip.
The new top candidate in this year's palace examination is a woman disguised as a man. This news is exciting enough to attract all the attention.
The speed of the news spread by the common people was extremely terrifying. In just one hour, the news that the new number one scholar was a woman had spread throughout the entire city of Huaijing.
The people in Huaijing City were talking a lot.
"Hey, have you heard that this year's new top scorer is actually a woman!"
"I've heard about it a long time ago. I heard that this new top scholar is extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than Liu Ruoxiang, the courtesan in the flower shop."
"What about beauty? I heard that this new top student is as good as a yaksha. Otherwise, why wouldn't she have been discovered after disguising herself as a woman for so long?"
"She is the top scholar in a new subject. She disguised herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination. That is deceiving the emperor and neglecting her superiors. I believe that Your Majesty will certainly punish her for the crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting her superiors."
"It's a serious crime to deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors. Beheading in public is a minor crime. In my opinion, it is possible to kill the nine tribes."
"Tell me, she is a woman. Taking part in some kind of imperial examination is simply an insult to the imperial examination. This is the first time this has happened since the founding of our Tianyu Dynasty. Your Majesty will definitely punish her severely."
…
People all over the city were talking about Jiang Zhao's disguise as a man to take part in the imperial examination.
When discussing Jiang Zhao's appearance, everyone burst into laughter. They thought Jiang Zhao was as ugly as a yaksha. Some people thought Jiang Zhao was more beautiful than the oiran in the flower shop. No matter what, they were all disrespectful to Jiang Zhao.
an insult.
At this time, on Jiang Zhao's side, Wei Xiang grabbed her and ran for a long time to a place with fewer people.
"Zhongqing, why don't we go home? Why are we here?"
Jiang Zhao bent over, supported his knees with both hands, looked at the surrounding scenery, panted heavily and asked with a frown.
"Now that the young master's identity has been exposed, I'm worried about Mr. Si..."
Wei Xiang said hesitantly, but he did not finish his words.
Although he and Si Mubai didn't deal with each other, he trusted Si Mubai quite a lot. If Si Mubai was not ashamed of Jiang Zhao's identity as a woman, Jiang Zhao would probably feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Jiang Zhao was silent for a long time, but she still smiled and said, "I believe Brother Mubai won't."
"Also, even if Brother Mubai looks down on my identity as a woman, we should go back and pack our things and find an inn to stay at. I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow."
What Jiang Zhao said made sense. Wei Xiang nodded and took Jiang Zhao back to the house purchased by Simubai.
When the two returned to the house, it was already high in the sun.
As soon as Wei Xiang opened the door, he saw Si Mubai and his master and servant Jiuqi waiting for them in the yard.
Jiang Zhao hesitated in his steps. He didn't know what kind of attitude Si Mubai would have towards her.
