"Then tell me, how should I get to know him?" Chen Tailiang asked He Chao for advice.

He Chao laughed and immediately gave advice: "Master Zhongcheng, you just need to take them all to the outside of Master Sikong's house and explain it to Master Sikong, then you can get acquainted, right?"

"Is it that simple?" Chen Tailiang was suddenly stunned and looked at He Chao with some doubt in his eyes.

"What's the old saying? Once is new, twice is familiar."

"As long as you talk to him, and then treat him to a meal and a drink, then we will all be familiar with each other, right?" He Chao chuckled.

"That makes sense." Chen Tailiang nodded, and personally took the lead to let Ban Liang take Gao Feng and the others to Ren's house.

At this time, the Ren family was preparing for the fourth round of examinations.

When the talented scholars waiting outside the mansion saw these talented scholars being escorted in with broken hands, they were all frightened.

"Throw them all in the most conspicuous place on the street."

Chen Tailiang gave instructions to the supervisors headed by Ban Liang.

"Here."

Ban Liang and a group of supervisors followed the order and threw these talented people with broken hands to the most conspicuous places on the street.

Chen Tailiang cleared his throat and pointed at Gao Feng and the others and said, "All of you talented people, listen to me carefully. If anyone dares to lead a riot and disrupt the examination room again, they will be your fate!!!"

The talented scholars looked at each other with their scalps tingling, and no one dared to say a word.

When Ren Hao heard the noise outside the mansion, he led Li Shiji out.

"Why is he here?" Li Shiji frowned when he looked at Chen Tailiang.

Ren Hao immediately pointed at Chen Tailiang and asked, "Do you know that person?"

"I guess we know each other." Li Shiji nodded.

"He is my eldest brother's brother-in-law, Chen Tailiang."

"Although Chen Tailiang is the chancellor of the Censorate, he only got to that position because of his father's connections. Otherwise, with his ability, he would never be able to reach this position even if he died." Li Shiji quietly introduced him to Ren Hao.

"So, you two are still relatives." Ren Hao glanced at Chen Tailiang again and nodded as if he understood.

"He and my eldest brother are relatives, but not to me and I have never had any contact with him." Li Shiji shook his head with disdain in his eyes and quickly distanced himself from Chen Tailiang.

"Chen Zhongcheng, what brings you here?"

"Why didn't you inform me in advance when you came so that I could prepare some wine for you?" Ren Hao walked out of the mansion and greeted him with a smile.

Ha ha.

"Lord Sikong, you are a great man who doesn't bear grudges, so please don't joke with me."

"It was all my fault that I believed Gao Feng's one-sided words and was deceived by him. That's why I had to send Ban Liang to bother you all." Chen Tailiang copied out all the words that He Chao had taught him.

Ban Liang next to him also clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Lord Sikong, I apologize for the offense I caused you before. Please forgive me."

"Don't blame me, don't blame me. It's all just a misunderstanding." Ren Hao waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, this is all a misunderstanding."

"It's all the fault of Gao Feng, the incompetent talent." Chen Tailiang nodded repeatedly, then pointed at Gao Feng and the other talents who were thrown on the street with their hands broken, and continued: "Master Sikong, I have punished these lawless talents. Do you think this is satisfactory?"

"If you are still not satisfied, you can deal with them however you want." Chen Tailiang did not take Gao Feng's life seriously at all, treating him as cheaply as an ant.

"That's all, let's hang them out on the street for a night to set an example." Ren Hao glanced at these wailing talents, but he didn't feel much sympathy. After all, it was all their own fault.

But unfortunately, the wailing of these talented men was heard by Su Wan'er who was strolling in the courtyard.

She walked out of the house and saw these talented men with broken hands, and asked them the reason.

Li Shiji told Su Wan'er the whole story. Chen Tailiang beside him nodded repeatedly and said that they had brought it upon themselves and did not need sympathy.

Although it was their own fault, Su Wan'er still couldn't bear it and asked Hui Lixue to go back home and get some silver so that they could see a doctor tomorrow morning.

"This..." Eriyuki looked at Ren Hao beside her hesitantly.

Ren Hao nodded, signaling Hui Lixue to do as Su Wan'er said.

"Madam is not only beautiful, but also very kind-hearted." Chen Tailiang quickly smiled and complimented her.

But the level of the compliment was so poor, and his smile was so vulgar that it gave people the impression that he had bad intentions.

Ren Hao may not understand what kind of person Chen Tailiang is, but Li Shiji definitely knows.

Without even glancing at her, he said, "Hurry up and calm down, don't scare your sister-in-law."

"Your Excellency the Minister is right. It's all my fault for talking too much." Chen Tailiang nodded with an apologetic smile, feeling extremely unhappy.

But considering his future, he still endured it.

Then, Chen Tailiang continued, "Master Sikong, your recruitment of officials for the Ministry of Revenue is a big deal. We will stay outside your mansion and listen to your orders to help you maintain order in the examination."

"Then I'll trouble you all. I'll leave the task of verifying the hometown of the talented people outside the mansion to you." Ren Hao nodded and did not refuse. It would be best if someone could help him share some of the work.

"Don't bother, don't bother. It's our blessing to be able to do our bit for Lord Sikong." Chen Tailiang smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, looking like a flatterer.

With the help of Chen Tailiang, the speed of the examination was accelerated, and no talented person dared to cause trouble or cheat.

After all, the fate of Gao Feng and others is still fresh in our minds.

The Ministry of Revenue's recruitment examination lasted until the evening, and those who had not finished the exam had to wait until the next morning to continue.

These talented people living in Beijing still have a place to sleep and eat, but it is hard for the talented people outside Beijing.

They rushed to Beijing without stopping, and not only did they not wait for the exam, they also had to sleep outdoors outside the capital and didn't even know how to solve the problem of eating.

After all, they are short of money.

Those who were a little better off also carried some rice, millet, or radish, as well as a little wine.

Ren Hao also knew the difficulties of these talented people, otherwise why would they be called poor talented people.

Although Ren Hao could not provide accommodation for these talented scholars outside the capital, he still asked them to take out rice, millet, meat and straw from his mansion and distribute them to them.

Each person was given two taels of rice and millet, two taels of thick meat, and two taels of grass.

These talented people outside Beijing were so grateful to Ren Hao that they shed tears. They all secretly vowed that if they could be recruited into the Ministry of Revenue, they would definitely follow Ren Hao's lead and repay him.
