The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Chapter 218 Another big melon, the unlucky candidate

The thing in the bag was still moving. It was either an animal or a human, definitely a living thing.

Lin Mo excitedly walked over and poked it, and Bai Xiao excitedly activated the protection mechanism for her.

[Mo Mo, I think there is definitely a person here! ]

Lin Mo: [Need I tell you? Listen to the humming sound inside. The person inside must have had his mouth blocked.]

Flowery Peacock and Stupid Beauty also came over, and several people started guessing one by one.

Bai Xiao also joined the speculation. In fact, he could figure out what was going on with just a quick search, but he also wanted to join in the fun.

The second son of the Minister of Justice who was hiding nearby: ...Aren’t you afraid at all!

If there is a dead person in here, then just dump the body here. Even if it is a living person, it will be very scary!

The second young master approached cautiously and whispered, "Let's leave here early and report to the police. Those people are definitely not good people."

Hearing his timid voice, Lin Mo asked in confusion: "How come you are even less courageous than the stupid beauty? Your father is the Minister of Justice!"

Bai Xiao: [That’s right, he’s not even half as brave as his father. When his father was pursuing his mother, his grandfather didn’t want him to. His father was so brave at the time that he secretly went to meet his mother in the middle of the night. As a result, he was caught by his grandfather. His grandfather was dazzled and fainted when he saw the man hanging on the wall. Then his father immediately found a doctor to take good care of him. His grandfather still doesn’t know that the ghost who scared him was his son-in-law.]

Lin Mo listened with great interest. He didn't expect that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice had such an exciting story.

[Did the Minister of Justice later gain the approval of his father-in-law? ]

Bai Xiao: [Of course not. His father-in-law still thinks that it was this son-in-law who saved him. The Minister of Justice has not dared to tell the truth for so many years. Who made him secretly meet with someone's daughter and was caught when he climbed over the wall? ]

The three people who heard all this said:

The person tied in the bag: ...

The second young master's face turned red. How come he didn't know that his parents had such a story.

I didn’t expect that my usually serious father was like this when he was young. This guy is indeed much braver than him.

After eating the melon, Lin Mo felt even better.

The person in the bag also knew who the person outside was. After all, there was only one person in the world with such ability.

Lin Mo untied the rope on the bag, and the man inside narrowed his eyes and tried to stick his head out.

Lin Mo uttered a cry and took a step back, then said with disgust: "Why do you stink so badly? Did you poop in there? Didn't those people let you relieve yourself after they tied you up?"

Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren also took two steps back in disgust.

They faintly smelled a foul odor just now, but they didn't think much about it because the alley was stuffy.

After opening the bag, the smell was a bit strong.

Bai Xiao: [I know, I know! He didn’t poop in there, he was kidnapped while using the toilet!]

Lin Mo: ...

Peacock and the others: ...

Kidnapped man: ...

No, why are you so excited when you say this, little system!

The man resisted the urge to roll his eyes and tried to signal them to remove the cloth from his mouth.

Lin Mo stretched out two fingers and took out the cloth. "Who are you? Why were you tied up and thrown here? Did you offend someone?"

Bai Xiao answered again: [I know, I know! He was a candidate who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Because of his good looks, he was noticed by a young lady from a wealthy family. However, he did not like that young lady, so the young lady wanted to teach him a lesson and had someone kidnap him and throw him in this alley.]

Candidate: ...Do I need to explain anything more now? The system has already said everything.

Those who could go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations were basically Juren, not ordinary civilians. Those who wanted to be officials before them must have investigated almost everything they could about the affairs in the capital.

Therefore, we pay special attention to Mr. Kobayashi who has special abilities.

Basically, those who have something to hide do not dare to take the imperial examination, for fear of meeting Lord Kobayashi in the capital, but there are still some people who want to seek wealth and honor in danger.

The examinee tightly grasped the sack and said awkwardly: "I am a candidate who went to the capital to take the imperial examination. I must have offended the daughter of the Imperial Academy's chief priest, so I ended up here."

Lin Mo said, "So his daughter took a fancy to you, but you disagreed and were brought here."

The candidate nodded. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he arrived in the capital.

There are many young men in the capital who are more handsome than him, and most of them come from extraordinary family backgrounds. I don’t know why the young lady of the Imperial College’s chief academic officer would fall in love with him.

Wei Zhengan had some impression of the young lady of the Imperial College's chief academic officer, but it was a bad impression.

"Master Xiaolin, I should know who this person is. She should be the third daughter of the Imperial College's chief priest. The third daughter of this family has always been a bit of a jerk. She likes good-looking men who have no power or influence the most."

"When I was promoted from another place with my father, she almost attacked me."

Bai Xiao continued to add: [This third young lady is the truly absurd one. Many people say you are absurd because you like to play, but you never do anything out of line. You have a bottom line, but this third young lady has no bottom line.]

[She is the most favored in the family. The servants who serve her are all good-looking. Her mother is the Princess of Cheng'an County, and she has a blood relationship with the royal family. Although the relationship is not very distant, she can still be considered a princess of the royal family.]

[It is unfortunate for this person to meet such a lady as soon as he arrived in the capital. However, this third lady still dared not take action against these examinees, otherwise she would not just throw them here. ]

Lin Mo's brows were almost knotted after listening to this. How could there be such an annoying person!

How come she has never heard of this in all these years here? Her impression of the Imperial College's chief academic officer is that he is a kind person.

Bai Xiao knew her thoughts and said: [The Imperial College Priest is a good person, but the Princess of Cheng'an may not be. The couple has long been divorced, and the Imperial College Priest lives alone outside. ]

Lin Mo nodded in sudden realization. So that's it. She was saying how could such a decent man raise a daughter like this. It turns out that this girl was not raised by him.

Bai Xiao continued: [There is another great news I want to announce. The Junior Officials of Dali Temple, Junior Officials of Taichang Temple, Junior Officials of Taipu Temple, and Junior Officials of Guanglu Temple are all going to be promoted. Tomorrow they will be promoted to Junior Officials of Dali Temple, Junior Officials of Taichang Temple, Junior Officials of Taipu Temple, and Junior Officials of Guanglu Temple! ]

[Although they have already started to manage affairs and have real power, the emperor has never promoted them. Too many things have happened during this period, so it is a good opportunity to promote them.]

Lin Mo asked excitedly: [What about my dad? Didn’t my dad get promoted? ]

Bai Xiao: […Your father is already a minister, how high can he go? He is only a first-rank official! Do you want him to become a prince?]

Lin Mo suddenly came to his senses. Yes, in this dynasty, the Shangshu is of the first rank, and the first rank is the Tai Shi and Tai Fu.
