When Xu Qian was brought to the Admiral's Bureau, Xu Qian acted very calmly. He had already entered the palace three times, once with the prince and once at the county government office. Now that he is here, he actually feels a bit of intimacy. It's not easy! It's not easy!

I, Mr. Xu, now rely on taking exams and litigating lawsuits to earn a living. I used to feel frightened when I saw the Yamen, but now I feel like I am home when I see the Yamen.

I sighed in my heart, a few police officers on the other side were already preparing to carry out the punishment. The minions of the Preparation Bureau have always been rampant and illegal. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks? Who dares to point fingers? Today I met a sour scholar who dared to disturb their good deeds.

He actually dared to write poems and call them bugs, ghosts and plague gods. Although these people have no culture, they like to use their fists to deal with culture.

Several people rolled up their sleeves and were about to take action, but Xu Qian had a lot of time to spare and said, "Damn, have you blinded me? I am the queen of Zhongliang. My ancestor, Xu Wendao, was honored by Emperor Xiao's decree. You guys touch me?"

A single hair will bring you and Eunuch Liu to death together."

Xu Wendao, they didn't know who it was, but when they heard the imperial edict and how confident Xu Qian said it, these minions were stunned. One of them sneered and said: "Okay, just listen to it, sir.

Why did your ancestor Xu Wendao receive the imperial edict to commend you?"

Xu Qian shook his head and said: "My ancestors and Yu Tai defended the capital, turned the tide before it fell, helped the building before it collapsed, and saved our Ming Dynasty. Later, we were harmed by traitors. It is a pity for the ages. We should be filial to the emperor and be wise..."

"Haha..." These people couldn't help but laugh.

Yu Taibao, that was nearly a hundred years ago, and this stinky scholar actually used a person who was extremely dead as a shield.

The ancestor Xu Qian was still a bit lethal to officials and scholars, but he was not a deterrent to eunuchs and minions at all.

Xu Qian sighed and said: "Besides, I am also a member of the Prefecture School. Although I don't have any fame, I am still a scholar. If you hit me, you are insulting the gentlemen. My superiors are the County Education Department and the Prefecture Education Department.

, you guys come and give it a try.”

The few officials now had some taboos, and their arrogant smiles softened a bit. This was the Zhong Ming Dynasty, and the status of scholars had been greatly improved. If considered in the entire Ming Dynasty, the status of government students might not be a big deal, but

In Hangzhou, there are only a thousand people in total. Although these people are not given privileges by the court, their status is not low.

The officials looked at each other, and one of them said: "You are a student in the government, and you are here to cause trouble if you don't study hard. Hum, we will report this to Eunuch Liu, and wait for Eunuch Liu to deal with it. Come and lock him up."

.”

Xu Qian was relieved when he heard that he didn't hit anyone. What he was most afraid of was that someone would do it. When a scholar encounters a soldier, it would be terrible if someone really wants to beat someone. Where can he reason with himself? It seems that this student student

It still has some uses.

Xu Qian's face suddenly calmed down, but he did not forget to say: "You are so brave. If you want to imprison me, you will be charged. Haven't you rough guys heard that: the punishment is not as good as that of a doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as that of a common man?"

?I am a scholar and a student member of the government. After Zhongliang, you dare to imprison me if you say I will be imprisoned. Call your Eunuch Liu here. I want to see who borrowed your courage."

What he said made the officials laugh, and they all said in their hearts: This guy is really a nerd. What kind of person is Eunuch Liu? He is a county magistrate or a magistrate. People may not take him seriously. You are just a student, so...

Do you dare to make a mistake? Do you really think that the things in this book can be applied to reality, and everyone must be polite to you?

"You villain, you are indeed a villain. What Confucius said is right. A gentleman is magnanimous and magnanimous, while a villain is always sad. I, Mr. Xu, consider myself a gentleman, but unexpectedly I fall into the hands of villains like you. You are nothing but a villain.

Aren't you the minions of a group of eunuchs afraid of the king's law? Justice is in the heart of the people, and you will get retribution sooner or later."

An official suddenly became angry. They were unlucky to meet a nerd. At first, they wrote poems to scold him, but now he is a villain and an eunuch.

He even thought about being detained for a few days and then released, but now he intends to punish Xu Qian, and sneered: "Just be patient."

Xu Qian was taken into a cell. There was no prison in the Production Bureau, but there were private cells to deal with disobedient merchants. Fortunately, this place was cleaner than the prison. Although it was simple, it was not smelly. Xu Qian

Sit down on the bed, close your eyes and wait calmly.

But they said that outside the magistrate's office, seventy or eighty scholars gathered at the door and shouted about injustice. This incident had happened for two days, and the prefect's office seemed to be indifferent to the matter. They neither asked the officers to drive them away nor spoke to the court.

In fact, every time an exam ends, there are many people who cry out for injustice, but it is rare to see such a big commotion as this time.

The prefect’s surname is Yuan, and his name is Yuan Zhong. It is said that his background is not very good, and he is not as good as those first-class and second-class scholars. However, he does have some luck. He has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years and has been promoted from a small chief clerk.

, and actually became a fifth-grade official.

It stands to reason that it is rare for him to reach such a position with his background, but he has no hope of continuing to be promoted. It would be good if he can strive for an equal position.

He has been in Hangzhou for several years, unlike Magistrate Su, who has just entered the industry and has no clue about his relationship with the local gentry.

It can be said that this magistrate Yuan is a veteran in the officialdom. Although he is not from a noble family, he is good at dancing. At least in this area of ​​Hangzhou, his official reputation is excellent. This is inseparable from his good relationship with the gentry.

open.

After being seriously ill for several days, he was finally able to stay in bed. However, Magistrate Yuan was not surprised when he heard that something like this had happened to him. He continued to attend to official duties every day, eating tea when it was time to have tea, and working when it was time to work.

He is not in a hurry, but some people are.

The anxious one is Fu Xue Zheng. Cang Xuezheng was a little panicked when he heard that the matter was such a big deal. Originally, he only thought that the main examination was just to obtain a scholar. Who knew there were so many interests entangled, Cang Xuezheng and

Magistrate Yuan is different, he is a high-ranking official, and a high-ranking official is noble, but there are many things that Magistrate Yuan may not see thoroughly.

Cang Xuezheng was paying his respects, and Magistrate Yuan seemed to have expected that he would definitely come. He put down the tea in his hand, smiled slightly at the doorman who informed him, and said: "Cang Xuezheng is here so quickly? Well, it's not surprising.

He must have been quite frightened."

Magistrate Yuan had a good time to take a sip of tea, pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Invite him in."

Not long after, Cang Xuezheng came in. This Xuezheng usually showed some airs. After all, he was a second-class Jinshi. He was a die-hard Qingliu official and his status was slightly higher than that of Yuan Zhifu. But now he seemed defeated.

Rooster carefully saluted Magistrate Yuan and said, "I have seen you, sir."

Magistrate Yuan smiled and said, "Sit down quickly and talk."

Cang Xue was sitting down and thanked him repeatedly.

Magistrate Yuan then said: "I have been seriously ill recently and have been put on a lot of government affairs. This complicated matter is really a headache. A few days ago, two villages in Yuyao County had a fight and seven or eight people were killed and injured. Hmm, I don't know what happened.

The unruly people who educate themselves really don’t know what is good or bad.”

Cangxue was like a yes man, saying: "Yes, yes."

Magistrate Yuan talked about Xiu Heti again, saying that his accounts had been unclear recently and he would be severely punished, but he never mentioned the scholars outside who were complaining.

Cangxue was dripping with cold sweat, and his mood fell to the bottom. If the prefect had gone straight to the topic, maybe this matter could be accommodating, but looking at the prefect's appearance now, he is afraid of this...

His Adam's apple rolled, and he said with difficulty: "Sir, there are some scholars outside..."

Magistrate Yuan's expression changed and he said: "Are you talking about those scholars who are making trouble? Huh, scholars don't study hard. They make trouble today, make trouble tomorrow, and now they have even made trouble in the prefect's Yamen saying that the prefectural examination is unfair. It's really disgusting.

."

Cang Xuezheng was so frightened that he lost his mind and said: "Yes...yes..."

The more the prefect said this, the more Cang Xuezheng felt that this matter would not be good.

Sure enough, Magistrate Yuan smiled casually and said: "But then again, this time the matter was so big, everyone said that someone cheated in the examination. In the Ming Dynasty, there were not even a hundred but dozens of cheating cases in the examination every year."

, they say it is unfair, and I will not believe their words, but if there is really something fishy, ​​I will never tolerate it."
