The final date for the examination results release is February 25th.
The examination papers were still being reviewed and evaluated by the inner curtain officer, and the candidates were all anxious. On the morning before the results were released, Zhu Hao was informed by Yu San that Sun Ru had been detained while drinking in Jiaofangsi last night.
Already.
"You won't pay the money you owe?"
Zhu Hao frowned.
Yu San shook his head and said he didn't know what was going on.
Zhu Hao did not expect that trouble would first appear on Sun Ru.
Among the two partners who participated in the examination together, Gongsun Yi is a stingy representative. He has the absolute upper hand in small-scale farming ideas and will not go out to cause trouble.
But it was different for a playboy like Sun Ru. He knew that he would not be able to pass the Jinshi examination, so he spent all the money he had on hand waiting for the results to be released, and he was so arrogant.
…
After Zhu Hao came out, he and Yu San met the Sun family's servants.
After detailed questioning, I found out that Sun Ru took two candidates from Huguang to the Jiaofang Division for drinking. As a result, they were involved in a regional dispute and were inexplicably detained.
"You really don't know why?"
Zhu Hao asked coldly.
The old servant of the Sun family was obviously frightened, and murmured: "I...are not allowed to wait for my servants to go in. I heard someone came out to send a message, saying that...my young master hit someone and wanted to pay for it, but the young master yelled that that person
He rolled down the stairs by himself... If things don't get settled, I'm afraid... I'll be sued."
Conflict?
Or is it that there are many people and many hands, and Sun Ru accidentally pushed him down the stairs during the fight? Although his cheap apprentice is not merciful, he doesn't seem to be very courageous, and he actually dares to deal such a heavy blow?
"Who is this person?"
Zhu Hao asked.
"It seems... he is also a Juren, or a Juren from Shuntian Mansion. I don't know what his identity is... The younger ones are not qualified to enter..."
The Sun family servants were very helpless.
The young master went to the capital to take the exam. The first half was normal and he was suppressed by Zhu Hao. But after the exam, he was like a wild horse running wild and had fun. Now he got better and actually got into a fight.
If you get appointed by the government, you might be deprived of your honorary title, and that would be the end of it.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Hao said.
…
…
Zhu Hao informed Tang Yin and asked Tang Yin to call Lu Song, take a few guards from the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department who had changed into civilian clothes, and a few guards from the hospital, and walked to the Jiaofang Department together.
"Hitting someone? Just Mr. Sun..."
Tang Yin was very surprised when he heard about this.
Sun Ru is a typical example of a gentleman who talks but never takes action. To put it bluntly, he is a little person who likes to talk and talk, and never takes action.
Zhu Hao said: "I don't know the specific situation. Let's go and take a look first."
Lu Song looked over with a bit of curiosity. Zhu Hao had not shown up even once after finishing the examination, but now he finally showed up.
Arrive at the Jiaofang Division.
After asking around, I found out that Sun Ru was locked up in the woodshed in the backyard and was guarded by a special person.
The person who came out to tell the news was the handyman from the Jiaofang Department, and his words were a little frightened. You must know that the person locked up inside was a civil servant. If you mess around, you will become a Jinshi one day, and things will become big.
Zhu Hao asked with a straight face: "Are you setting up a private court? When did Jiaofangsi become a private prison that imprisoned other people's personal freedom?"
The handyman hurriedly explained: "Masters, our Jiaofang Division has always opened the door to do business, and we don't want to cause trouble. By the way, this is all the idea of a few masters. They are still sleeping upstairs at the moment. Do you want to
Are you not allowed to go in and inform you? The matter of beating someone and waiting for compensation has nothing to do with our Jiaofang Division."
"We need to meet someone!"
Lu Song came out of the queue with a cold eyebrow.
Seeing that Lu Song had a knife on his waist and looked like he was an official from the Yamen, the servant trembled with fright and ran away.
Lu Song and Tang Yin were both puzzled.
Just as he was talking, a group of people hurriedly came over from behind. It turned out that after Jiang Lun learned the news, he called a dozen guards to come over and prepare to make a show of his reputation.
"Meng Zai, what are you doing?" Tang Yin asked.
Jiang Lun said: "Okay, why don't you call me when you come out to fight? Someone dares to mess with our Prince Xing's house? What the hell? Is the Sun family master arrested? Is he... okay?"
Jiang Lun originally thought that someone from the palace was causing trouble outside, so he came here to support him. With his temperament, he liked to join in the fun.
But when I came here, I found out that Sun Ru, who had nothing to do with the palace, was bullied. Although Sun Ru was Zhu Hao's apprentice, the palace had no obligation to stand up for a fellow Anlu man.
"You're here, let's go in and take a look."
Tang Yin means that when you come, don't leave, and go in together with several people to support you.
…
…
Jiaofangsi backyard.
Both parties who caused trouble last night finally showed up.
From the so-called "Shuntian Prefecture Juren" side, among the group of people who came down, Zhu Hao felt that some of them looked familiar. They were the same group of scholars who sat and discussed with Yang Weicong in Chongming Tower that day, but Yang Weicong was not seen.
"You are so brave. You dare to bring weapons to a government office like Jiaofangsi? Hurry and report to the official!"
It had been three years since the Xiucai rebellion came to an end. A group of Juren were shouting and shouting, but when they came down they saw a group of strong men, including some armed with weapons.
Jiang Lun shouted coldly: "No need, we are officials..."
Zhu Hao hurriedly stopped Jiang Lun.
There was a fight between Qingyunhou and Shouninghou just before, which caused an uproar in the capital. Now if we fight with these people, both sides are literati, and it will be no problem to beat them to the head and blood. But if one side is Prince Xing's Mansion, or
The palace guards...this matter is a bit big.
Zhu Hao said: "Didn't he hurt someone? Let's take a look, compensate him and take him away."
"A group of local leopards from the south, at the feet of the emperor of the capital, beat someone and want to pay some money to settle the matter?" When the other party heard that they didn't mean to cause trouble, their momentum suddenly increased.
Zhu Hao said loudly: "How about taking the person to the government directly? We just want to settle the matter at the government. You are all participants in yesterday's beating case, right?
"I heard that both sides took action. Are you all involved? When you get to the Yamen, you will not be able to serve as witnesses, but will be treated as... prisoners. Oh, by the way, the results will be released tomorrow, right?"
Since we want to reason with this group of arrogant and domineering Juren of Shuntian Prefecture who look down on outsiders, we can only say something that makes them afraid.
If you hit someone in Jiaofangsi, even if someone falls from a building and gets injured, it's still a "mutual beating." Do you think the government will support you?
You are a judge, but we are not?
Zhu Hao looked at the old servant who had tipped off the news: "There were three of us here yesterday, right? All three were Juren... How many are on the opposite side? Let me count... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
Well, don't leave. There are our people at the front door too, and they have already blocked the door!
"Isn't this going to be brought to court? There are a dozen of you here fighting three, and one of them fell down the stairs. Am I right? Are you hurting someone or blackmailing someone? They are both responsible... There is no difference in status.
, let’s meet with the officials.”
It would lead to large-scale bloodshed, and Zhu Hao could not survive it with his current status.
Then just be more direct and go to the government to make noise.
If two days later, after the test results are released, maybe some of them will no longer be afraid. Those who won the Jinshi will naturally be proud of themselves, while those who did not win will be dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water and will not be stingy.
But now there is only one day left before the rankings are released, and the situation is completely different. Who wants to make a big deal today?
Zhu Hao agreed to pay compensation, which gave both parties a chance to step down, and the other party's attitude naturally softened.
But at this moment, a person walked down from the second floor of Jiaofangsi. Zhu Hao recognized this person at a glance. It was Yang Weicong who was praised by the stars in Chongming Tower that day.
Zhu Hao suddenly understood why Sun Ru would be "unruly" in a place like Jiaofangsi.
That day, Sun Ru and a few others met Yang Weicong in Chongming Tower. When he heard Zhu Hao and others talking, he was not convinced by Yang Weicong and had the urge to compete with him.
But the problem is...
Before you compete, can you first examine how many people are on your side and how many are on the other side?
Besides, with your talent, how can you compare?
I don't have any idea in my mind.
Zhu Hao thought again, if this boy Sun Ru knew better, it wouldn't be him.
"Who said that the matter should be brought to the government? The matter of beating people at the feet of the emperor of the capital should indeed be resolved in the government. I don't believe that the government and the county government will turn their elbows... Who are you threatening?"
At first glance, Yang Weicong is not the kind of person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. When he comes, he will confront the strong and is not afraid of making things worse.
Who told Yang Weicong to have a close personal relationship with Yang Shen, and Yang Shen’s father was the chief minister of the government?
Even if the trouble came to the government, Yang Weicong said that he did not take any action. No one dared to embarrass him, whether it was the Daxing County Government Office or the Shuntian Government Office. He was a young man in the capital.
Zhu Hao cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yang, it's been a long time."
Yang Weicong frowned and looked at Zhu Hao: "Do you know me?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I am fortunate to have listened to your lectures in Chongming Building. I am a candidate for the undergraduate examination. The person you picked up is my student. He passed the Huguang Provincial Examination last year."
"He is your student?"
Yang Weicong didn't expect that such a thing would happen? Then he looked unkind and said, "Has he seen me before? No wonder he looks like a vicious dog when he sees me!"
Someone nearby helped: "It's still a biting vicious dog. Mr. Liu was even pushed downstairs by him. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Yes, we are not afraid of going to the government either."
With the support of Yang Weicong, the other party became more courageous instantly.
Zhu Hao stared at Yang Weicong with a smile.
Tang Yin tugged at the corner of his clothes, meaning that if it doesn't work, let the Sun family handle it themselves. Why do you have to come out and get involved?
Zhu Hao turned his head and glanced at Tang Yin, and said softly: "What a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have brought the crown prince here and given him a vivid reality education lesson."
"Um?"
Tang Yin glared at Zhu Hao, when was it this time, and were you still caring about giving lessons to the prince?
Then Zhu Hao turned his head and shouted sternly: "Okay, let's meet with the government. Isn't it that Mr. Yang is relying on his good relationship with Mr. Yang Ge, the chief minister of the dynasty? I want to see whether it is Mr. Yang who has more face.
Prince Xing’s Mansion still has a lot of face! At worst, you guys can roll up your sleeves and start a fight, until you lose your arms and legs! You guys, copy the guy!”
Zhu Hao's voice fell.
Lu Song and others suddenly felt that something was wrong. Even Tang Yin thought that Zhu Hao was crazy and it was too late to stop him.
Jiang Lun, a man with a bit of madness, didn't dare to fight so blatantly. Just as he was hesitating, he saw the group of strong men brought by Yu San picking up sticks and other things without hesitation.
It's just a group of Juren who are going to be beaten. Do we have to use people from Prince Xing's Mansion to take action? Just relying on a few guards should be enough!
Even if the other party also comes with people, Zhu Hao has said it first, just fight, the worst is to hurt the muscles and bones, let's make the matter bigger first, see who is afraid first!
