Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

Chapter 36: Scientific Expedition 4

Shen Que glanced at the officials with sad faces behind him and laughed out loud, "Hey, why are you unhappy? This Young Master Helian has done a good thing and cleared up the malpractice for Yuan Zhao. How can you be unhappy? I am very happy, haha..." He glanced at Yuan Fuge and the others, and after watching the people escorting the test papers leave, they slowly began to move.

On the way to the examination, Shi Song followed beside him, frowned and whispered: "The Prime Minister and his men are here to mess things up. How are we going to clean up after those people in the prison? We have collected a lot of things..."

Shen Que took a breath, pointed at his head and cursed, "I say, why are you so stupid? Think about it, those who were captured, didn't they give a little money? They gave only a few thousand silver taels. Those are from small families, and they don't have many people in the court. Do they dare to say anything? Does he dare to sue the higher-ups?"

Lu Xiangshan shook his head, "Basically, you can't sue me."

Shen Que counted on his fingers and told them, "Yes, the important ones are the ones who sent gold. They are our important personnel."

"Prime Minister Shen, you are still laughing."

Shi Song looked aggrieved, and the people around him were also confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Look at Magistrate Shi, you just can't understand. Those small amounts of money are nothing," Shen Que turned around and explained to the examiner on the other side, "That young man was still guarding the door for you. He took all the responsibility on himself. How dare he raise an army to accuse him after that?"

"oops..."

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Shen Que patiently explained to them, "Everyone, just hold on. I will definitely give him a good meal this time..." He turned around and asked, "How is everything prepared?"

"alright..."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the depression in their hearts was instantly relieved.

"It's almost over. I was thinking of going to the south to have a look. It is said that the landscape there is quite special." The official in red uniform said proudly.

Another assistant minister was also overjoyed, and he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "That's right, this time the poor test is easy, and we can still make some money."

As he was talking, Shi Song, Lu Xiangshan and others pushed the door open angrily and walked in. Shi Song had a gloomy face and sat on the chair without saying a word.

The assistant minister said, "County Magistrate, why did you take so long to come? You haven't explained the signs yet."

Shi Song shook his hands, and the fat on his body trembled. He said angrily, "What's the use of the mark? The unknown guys around the master have to seal the questionnaire and escort them personally. How can we see the names of those people?"

"Where did this kid come from? How dare he cut off our source of income?"

Lu Xiangshan put his hands in his pockets, hung his head and said indignantly: "What origin do you mean? He follows the Grand Tutor and has the imperial edict in his hand. What origin do you mean..."

"Then County Magistrate, what should we do?"

Shi Song spread his hands and said angrily, "Some of the silver notes you received have been used to buy land, some have been used to marry concubines, and some have bought slaves. These silver notes cannot be returned, right?"

"Yes, yes..." Everyone nodded in agreement. The bribes had been given away in a fancy way, so how could they return them?

Lu Xiangshan stroked his mustache and thought for a long time. Then an idea suddenly came to his mind. He turned around and said, "Hey, everyone, I have a plan. We can let the candidates who passed the exam..."

Shi Song listened for a long time, then suddenly cracked open his face, touched his belly and said with a sly smile: "Brother Lu is indeed knowledgeable and far-sighted. In this way, even if Helian Shenwan says something else, he can't do anything to us."

"What is the magistrate saying?"

"Everyone, let's do this... this... that... that... that..."

After a while of chattering, all the examiners involved in the marking immediately nodded in agreement and felt relieved.

Yuan Fuge followed the Grand Tutor to the examination site, and many people came out to greet them with smiles on their faces. "Is this Mr. Helian Shenwan, who is by Grand Tutor Helian's side?"

"Yes, my Lords, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shi Song pushed Lu Xiangshan out and invited him. He bowed and said, "It hasn't been long. Many adults have heard that there is a smart young man beside the Grand Tutor, so they all want to invite the young man to come over for a drink."

Yuan Fuge took a half step back and said modestly: "How can I do this? This is not over yet, how can I..."

"It's okay," Lu Yanxiu said sarcastically, holding the sword in his arms, "Just go. People around the Grand Tutor are naturally praised by everyone. It's not easy to come here once, how can I refuse you gentlemen?"

Yuan Fuge's face darkened, and he said sarcastically, "Young General, are you saying that you are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful?"

"You..." Lu Yanxiu was about to rush over to hit her, but Yu Cong held him back to stop him from making a mistake, "Hahaha, he was just talking nonsense, young master, don't mind it."

The Master chuckled, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "Since you gentlemen are so enthusiastic, you can go ahead. Just don't drink. You still need to revise the documents for me when you come back at night."

"Okay, then I will..." Yuan Fuge smiled bitterly and looked at Xianyue eagerly, "Then you follow the... ahem, Master, and come pick me up when the time comes."

"Where are we going, my lords?"

"Of course you have to go to Wanchun Tower when you come to Jiangnan." A group of people swarmed Yuan Fuge and went out.

Lu Yanxiu held a pile of sealed test papers and complained, "A pretty boy who got in through the backdoor."

Yu Cong said softly, "Oh, don't complain. This is my first time here too. You gentlemen are just curious."

"Novel?" Lu Yanxiu sneered, "You've been talking about flowers since you came here through the backdoor. You've become weird since you came here."

Yu Cong smiled stiffly and walked away with a laugh.

Yes, he did have some changes in his mind. He studied hard for ten years and worked diligently for a hundred years, but it was not as good as others who had a good opportunity and were born in a good family. They did not have to worry about their future since they were born, and someone would help them rise to the top, while they, the children of poor families, were destined to be unknown all their lives.

He sighed and sat listlessly beside the examiner, supervising the examination.

That night, Yuan Fuge was drinking with these officials in Wanchun Tower, talking about anecdotes and interesting stories in officialdom. During the meal, someone mentioned the matter of the military token, and she instantly became interested and made the official drink a lot of wine.

"...You mean the military token?" the official pulled Yuan Fuge and shook him. "Isn't it in...General Lu's hand?"

Yuan Fuge broke free from his hand, reached out to pour him a glass of wine, and looked around, "Don't dare to say such things."

Lu Xiangshan was even more bold and directly brushed her hand away, "What can't be said? It's all spread everywhere. The Lu family is trying to curry favor with His Majesty, so His Majesty gave this thing to their family..."

Shi Song waved his fat body and poured out all his knowledge: ".....Minister Lu is right. It is said that their son was parachuted into Jiangnan just because of this, so that he could get a promotion when he returned..."

"This... The young general is a righteous man who hates evil, how could he..." Yuan Fuge tried to smooth things over.

"Young Master, you don't understand this," Shi Song patted her shoulder, "You are a disciple of the Grand Master, you don't know how to understand the twists and turns here."

The official next door said, "That's right. How can you upper-class people know the hardships we, the lower-class officials, have..."

Yuan Fuge knew that this was a sarcasm towards those of them who were airborne, so she ignored him and poured a glass of wine, wondering, "But what does this military token have to do with the imperial examination?"

The official's cheeks were flushed from drinking, and he said incoherently: "Why can Master Lu mobilize those soldiers? Of course, it's because he has the military token. Prime Minister Shen told us that this Lu family..."

If it was really in his hands, then what he said to me before...wasn't it false? But why did he lie to me? Yuan Fuge thought he was hiding well, and he had only been asking for some information, and had not revealed his real goal. What was going on? Could it be that he had a clairvoyant eye?

The crescent moon came to find her at night, and she stared at the flowing river in a daze...
