At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Faced with Ren Hao's tough measures, these talented people who were driven out did not dare to complain or protest, but they held a grudge and ran directly to the Censorate to sue Ren Hao.

What is the Censorate? It is the place that supervises all the officials and clerks of the hereditary nobles.

At that time, the prefect on duty at the Censorate was the Chief Censor Chen Tailiang, a fourth-rank official with a monthly salary of 500 dan.

Chen Tailiang, a dissolute young man in his early thirties, was able to sit in the position of Chief Censor thanks to the help of his father, Censor Chen.

What does the old saying say?

dong dong dong.

As the sound of drums came, Chen Tailiang opened his eyes and yawned, "Who is beating the drums outside the palace?"

A supervisor stepped forward and said, "Report to the Minister of Finance, some talented people in the capital want to sue the current Minister of Revenue, Ren Hao."

"Oh, let them all in." Chen Tailiang immediately perked up, wanting to take the opportunity to see if there was any handle to punish Ren Hao.

As the son of the Imperial Censor, he failed to get promoted to a high-ranking official. What qualifications does Ren Hao have?

Just because a few corpses were sent back, not only Ren Hao could do it, but anyone could do it.

He was extremely unwilling to accept Ren Hao!!!

Although his father had already told him not to provoke Ren Hao.

But if it was Ren Hao who committed something wrong, then it wouldn't be considered as me taking the initiative to provoke him.

When he thought of this, Chen Tailiang chuckled.

"Why is the Minister laughing secretly?" the adjutant next to him asked in confusion.

"I just suddenly thought of something happy and funny." Chen Tailiang said perfunctorily, picked up the ear cup and took a sip of Maotai.

As the prefect on duty, it was obviously against the rules for Chen Tailiang to drink in the Censorate.

But he was the son of the Chief Censor, and the officials in the hall could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.

After all, the old imperial censors who were nosy, accused Chen Tailiang of drinking in the hall, and led Hongchen Jiaoyan to the central hall, had all retired and returned home early.

After a while, two supervisors led a group of talented people in.

Walking in the front, the talented man who was carried by two people on a stretcher and looked extremely embarrassed was the talented man who was kicked out of the house by Shi Huan before and overturned the table.

In addition to taking the lead in overturning the table, this talented man was also the one who started the complaints and protests.

This man's name is Gao Feng and he is over 40 years old.

Since he is a poor talented man with no hope of getting a job and has achieved nothing, he has not yet started a family and is the only one left in his family.

On weekdays, he relied on doing accounting for others and making a living by getting whatever he could.

Today he saw the recruitment notice for officials from the Ministry of Revenue in the Ren Mansion, and thought that his good days were finally coming.

However, it was difficult for him to solve the questions posed by the mansion within half an hour. However, he did not want to give up such a good opportunity, so he took the lead in complaining and protesting.

He thought that using this method would cause some trouble and Ren Hao would definitely compromise.

But he never expected that Ren Hao's tough attitude was not just a pretense, he really didn't want to compromise with them.

Of course, he couldn't have taken this kick in vain.

They let everyone carry him to the Censorate to file a complaint.

"Commoners pay their respects to the Lord Minister."

All the talented scholars knelt down and paid homage to Chen Tailiang in the main hall.

Chen Tailiang glanced at everyone and asked, "Why are you suing Ren Sikong?"

"Replying to Lord Zhongcheng, Minister Ren privately proposed recruiting officials for the Ministry of Revenue. We took the lead in complaining and protesting, but he ignored the laws of the capital and had his retainers drive us away. He also allowed his retainers to beat me up."

"Lord Zhongcheng, you have to stand up for the common people." Gao Feng said this in a somewhat confusing way, then he unbuttoned his long clothes and pointed at his ribs, saying that he had broken three ribs because of this matter.

The other talented people also followed Gao Feng's voice, allowing them to stand directly on the commanding heights of justice.

"He's so brave!!!"

Chen Tailiang pretended to be impartial and slammed the table, then said to Gao Feng and the others: "I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter."

"Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng."

The talented men, led by Gao Feng, kowtowed to Chen Tailiang to express their gratitude.

When Chen Tailiang heard all the thanks, his vanity was instantly satisfied to an unprecedented degree.

He nodded, and then instructed his trusted confidant, "Ban Liang, take ten inspectors and quickly arrest Ren Hao. I will personally try and punish him."

"Here."

Ban Liang hurried down to receive the order, and then led ten supervisors to Ren's mansion.

At this time, the Ren Mansion was still conducting the examination in an orderly manner. The courtyard was filled with 25 new talented students. With the experience of Gao Feng as a lesson, all the students were solving the questions very carefully, not even daring to breathe.

They were afraid that they would breathe too loudly and disturb Ren Hao who was taking a nap, and then they would end up like Gao Feng.

While all the talented people were solving the problems carefully, a talented person with a cunning look sitting in the corner looked around and saw Ren Hao dozing with his head supported by his hands, and there was no one patrolling around.

He quietly took out the arithmetic book hidden in his arms, trying to find a solution to the problem from the book.

Just as he quietly spread out the scroll and had no time to look for it, a big hand suddenly slapped him on the back of the head and said, "How dare you bring a math book in? Are you bullying me because I'm blind?"

The person who spoke was Li Jin.

He and Eri Xueshi Huan had already followed Ren Hao's instructions and were hiding in the distance and observing secretly.

Ren Hao's sitting and pretending to doze off was just a trick. He just wanted to test the character of these talented people and whether anyone dared to take the opportunity to cheat.

He was secretly praising the talented people in this round for their good character, but then a bad apple popped up.

"No...it's not like that. I...I..."

The talented scholar shook his head tremblingly and could not speak clearly.

"Master, what should we do with him?" Li Jin looked at Ren Hao who had opened his eyes.

This talented man who dared to cheat was now extremely frightened.

He was not afraid that Ren Hao would cancel his qualification for the exam, but he was afraid of being beaten and thrown out.

Ren Hao was silent for two seconds, then stood up from his chair and announced: "All the candidates' exams in this round are invalidated, and the Ministry of Revenue will never recruit them again."

What?

I go.

Is there something wrong with your fucking brain?

What does it have to do with us if he brings books to cheat?!!!

The remaining talented people all widened their eyes in disbelief and cursed Ren Hao in their hearts.

"Master Ren, it was Xu Kun who cheated. What does this have to do with us?"

"It's too unreasonable for everyone to be punished for cheating by just one person."

One of the talented people stood up to refute.
