Chapter 507 Fox Spirit Zhou, tell me honestly, how did you fascinate His Majesty?
The crowd was excited, but no one said a word about the scholar who was shouting loudly while visiting the brothel. The only criticism was that the bell was late.
Perhaps this is why the scholar dared to speak out so harshly, and felt that he was a messenger of justice, exposing Zhong Shengwan's true face and showing his pride.
Some people scolded them, some people hated them, and some people were clamoring to stop the exams. The women could just study with them in the exams, but the brothel women were too much. This was simply a shame for them.
They need an explanation.
Of course, there were some who hesitated to speak, but they didn't say anything.
It's really hard to say. If he was just from a humble background, even if he was born in a brothel, it would be fine as long as he changed later. After all, Chu Xingchen has always emphasized that only talents are useful.
But it doesn’t count that Zhong Sheng was born in a brothel late. She is still a real brothel girl, the kind who takes over clients.
Going to a brothel is all about having fun, and the girls in the brothel are just something for them to play and vent. After they play, they still look down on them in their hearts.
Such a thing is taking the imperial examination on an equal footing with them? No wonder everyone is angry.
They don't scold, but they feel angry and disgusted even if they imagine it.
The matter quickly escalated, and Taixue spent a lot of time suppressing the matter, saying that he would give everyone justice after a thorough investigation.
And this was just the beginning. Not only the students from the Imperial College were mobilized, but there were also scholars in the library who were restless.
In this restlessness, another news spread immediately.
That is, this brothel girl who participated in the imperial examination was actually redeemed by the favored Lord Zhou in the palace.
It is not known what the relationship between the two is, but the relationship must be profound.
In less than half a day, not only was the matter of the women's scientific examination brought out, but Zhou Buyan was also brought out.
People who knew the news discussed it in low voices.
"Isn't it clear enough that the relationship can be so small that you can redeem someone from a brothel?"
"This man is so courageous. He is a member of the palace. He has such a humble status and has been promoted to king. However, he is not satisfied yet and actually falls in love with a brothel girl."
"It's because I love you so much that I act so boldly."
"No matter what his previous identity was, it's no wonder he is like this."
"It's so outrageous. It is said that this woman was able to participate in the imperial examination because she may have had a relationship with him."
"This week the vixen, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into your majesty."
"No wonder a brothel girl can pass the examination as a boy student and even get into the Imperial College. Is this a back door? Are all the exam questions given..."
"Be careful, you probably won't know the test questions."
The imperial examination is so important, but if it involves imperial examination fraud, the problem will be huge.
There are mostly smart people, and everyone is seizing on their relationship. Their appeal is nothing more than that this brothel woman should not be embarrassed anymore, and that the woman should not even be eligible for the imperial examination.
These chaotic noises swept through the entire Feng'an City in an instant.
The bell in the center of the storm was late, and when people from the Imperial Academy pushed her away, saying she was there, it would only arouse more resentment. After being forced to go home, it still felt like a nightmare.
Being able to participate in the imperial examination filled her with hope, but there was no fear in her heart.
Before taking the child exam, she had nightmares about her identity being exposed.
While taking a break during the exam, she also dreamed. It was still a dream about her identity being exposed, and then everyone was shouting about beating her.
It was like a knife hanging above her head, and now it finally fell.
When the bell rang late, I had an inexplicable feeling that ‘it’s finally here’.
Although she was frightened, she was strangely calm for some reason.
But this calmness disappeared after Zhou Buyan was brought out.
She is no longer the late bell she used to be. She has read history books, knows many truths, and even knows the evil of people.
She knew in an instant that this conspiracy might not be directed at her personally, but at Zhou Buyan.
Maybe Zhou Buyan is the ultimate goal.
They kept their identity secret from the outside world because they were afraid that her younger sister would have a bad influence on Zhou Muching.
It didn't affect Zhou Muching, but it did affect Zhou Buyan.
Because they did not recognize each other, people framed Zhou Buyan as the harem king, but he lingered in a brothel and even redeemed the lives of the girls in the brothel.
"Madam, what should I do?"
Xiao En asked with panic on her face that Zhong Sheng Wan had already changed her name.
When Zhong Shengwan decided to take the imperial examination, she had already decided that she did not want to get married in this life.
Her identity was embarrassing, and she had Xiao Ming, so she claimed to the outside world that she was a widow and her husband died, so she changed her name to Mrs.
But these changes are of no use, and I don’t know what to do when the bell rings late.
"Should I contact Mr. Zhou quickly? Does my wife's merit still count? Can I still take the exam in the future?"
"I don't know. If I don't contact you, the palace should have received the news. Now I can only...wait."
Zhong Shengwan was right, the palace had indeed received the news, but Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan were not in the palace, so they did not receive the news immediately.
It was a holiday, and there was no court meeting. Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan left the palace because they accidentally received news from Ye.
They never gave up seeking revenge on Ye, but this Ye was very capable of hiding and as cunning as a mouse, and they were never able to find him.
This time they had news about him, so they left the palace. Unfortunately, when they went, the building was empty and they found nothing.
However, since they were all out of the palace, Chu Xingchen took Zhou Buyan to Jinnan to see the secretly built base and see the progress.
The explosives Chu Xingchen wanted were progressing slowly, lacked stability, and needed time.
I didn't expect that Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan would cause such a big trouble as soon as they left the palace.
Chu Xingchen received the news on his way back to the palace. It was already the second day after the incident.
There is no eternal secret. Chu Xingchen was not too surprised when Zhong Shengwan's identity was exposed. It was just the way of exposure and the way Zhou Buyan was involved that surprised her.
She could feel full of malice.
The timing of the exposure is also subtle. Maybe it was exposed specifically when they were not around, which is unknown.
Since they were not in the palace, they inevitably missed the best opportunity to deal with it.
One night passed, and things got really bad.
It’s not worth mentioning why Zhou Buyan was scolded in Zhongshengwan. What is involved now is the women’s imperial examination and whether there was any fraud in the imperial examination in Zhongshengwan.
He was originally dissatisfied with the woman taking the lead, but he failed in the exam, so he found someone to vent his anger on.
After Zhong Shengwan's address was discovered and exposed, he was immediately besieged.
The door was covered with rotten vegetables, leaves and garbage. The people Zhou Buyan left to protect them, as well as the people sent by Xiao Wang, were all on guard secretly to prevent these people from breaking in.
Xiao Wang was not sure about the relationship between Zhong Shengwan and Zhou Buyan, but he made a slight guess when he heard the word brothel.
So they secretly controlled the situation out of control, and sent people to protect the bell from ringing late.
But the situation is difficult to control, and there is no peace here even after the bell rings.
