14 (Catch bugs again)
"Life is like a play, it's all about acting"
Inside the restaurant, there were a lot of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it was a lively scene.
Every March in Yangchun, officials of the third rank and above in Dachen would go back to Beijing to enter the palace to report and evaluate their work to the emperor, so as to decide to retain their positions, and this year is no exception.
Some families are happy and some are sad. Those who governed the area with good weather during their reign don’t need to think too much about it, but those like Nanzhou prefects who were slaughtered by Liang people when they took office and flooded the dam just after taking office are nothing to worry about.
There is a big problem with the imperial examination in Dachen. Since Cheng Xueshi was killed, the wind direction of the imperial examination in the capital is completely controlled by four gentlemen, Li Yilianchi.
The main test of the imperial examination is not how well the students learn. The four gentlemen have their own tricks of buying officials and nobles—they have always "reserved their first hand" in teaching.
Of course, there is a more convenient way.
Every month before the imperial examination, the four gentlemen will jointly produce a set of "question papers".
There is a house of gold in the book, and the betting papers of the four gentlemen really have "gold".The questions in it were the same as most of the questions in the imperial examination that year. Rounding up made the students do the same exam questions twice.
The routines in the city are really deep.
"Someone buys such an expensive thing? What are they planning?"
The commoner youth was dumbfounded, but his mouth was gagged by the disguised "Mr. Wu".
Su Lan weighed the fat cat in her arms, "Of course it's worth it."
"One hundred taels of silver is indeed very expensive, but with a good rank in the imperial examination, and spending some money on one or two, it is not a problem to become a local important official with real power."
"When the sky was high and the emperor was far away, how much more than a hundred taels of silver did you get?"
"Didn't you say that you live in seclusion in Penglai Mountain and won't be born for a long time," Zhen Guanqihu asked, "Then why do you know everything?"
Su Lan: "..."
I'm careless, it seems that the hermit's character design still needs to be perfected.
Just as he was racking his brains to figure out how to lie, Zhen Guanqi slapped his head, "Hey! I got it!"
Su Lan listened attentively.
"Have you ever heard of the legend about the three swords in the fairy dream and the fairy pretending to be a beggar to test people?" Zhen Guanqi patted his head, "Then you must be an old fairy who came to test me through the calamities in the sky."
"Are you a hidden rotten head? Or are you pretending to be a beggar in rags? Also, do you have any private places that ooze pus and stink..."
Zhen Guanqi has always been imaginative and unconstrained.
The more he talked, the more he spoke, he turned his back on the customer, and he held Su Lan's hand and didn't let go.
The eyes of the commoner youth glowed with hunger and desire, "Then have I passed the test now?"
It's all about what.
Dachen literati were born with daydreams and fantasies in their bones. In addition, the Dachen Emperor Daxing alchemists worshiped gods. There are countless folklore. It is not surprising that there will be any weird ascension hypotheses.
Su Lan clapped her palms and smirked, "Congratulations, you will answer quickly."
In the eyes of the Nanzhou prefect, this one-sided and happy conversation was like brotherhood and brotherhood, and it was a joyous one.
The prefect of Nanzhou was worried about finding a noble person who could talk to the emperor and intercede, but now it can be said that he got it without any effort.
Zhen Guanqi is from Nanzhou, and he is quite famous in Nanzhou.
The prefect of Nanzhou didn't know Lu Lingyun who could talk to the emperor, but he knew who Zhen Guanqi was, and he also knew that Zhen Guanqi was Lu Lingyun's follower, and he was inseparable all day long.
If he is really a young master who is ignorant of the world, he dares to join in the fun at a banquet attended by dignitaries and dignitaries with treacherous thoughts.
The prefect of Nanzhou laughed like an old chrysanthemum, cupped his hands and called out to Zhen Guanqi, "Little friend, long time no see, do you still remember who I am?"
He pretended not to know and looked at the boy holding the cat, "Who is this?"
Zhen Guanqi replied without even thinking, "The prefect is well, this is the old..."
"Old friend," Su Lan smiled and hugged the other party's shoulders, and immediately greeted Nanzhou prefect with fists, "I've been selling fakes, and I've admired the prefect for a long time. It's really a good fortune to meet you today."
The governor of Nanzhou was very sure in his heart. He had heard that the son of the Su family was favored by Mr. Fan. This "Fan" surname must come from Mr. Fan's fan. With Zhen Guanqi at his side, the person in front of him must be the young master Lu he was looking for. up.
One big and one small, each with their own thoughts, the two strangers who met for the first time talked happily with each other. At a certain moment, Zhen Guanqi seemed to vaguely see a big tail wagging wildly behind the two of them.
Zhen Guanqi was in a daze when he was welcomed into the separate guest room by the two of them.
Something is wrong, this is simply a big problem-isn't it the first time for the two of them to meet?It's not him who is the link connecting the two people. It is obviously a story of three people, so why is it now the home of the two of them.
Maybe I shouldn't be at the table, but squat under the table.
"It's really a blessing for the people of Nanzhou to be vigilant all day long, Mr. Taishou. Come on, I will offer you a toast."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Fan Xiaoyou is so experienced and promising at a young age, it is really a great blessing for my birthday."
Su Lan and the prefect of Nanzhou mingled with each other, talked and laughed happily, and soon became brothers.
Sitting between the two, Zhen Tongren Guanqi took advantage of the two businessmen to boast to each other, drank one cup after another in embarrassment, and drank until the red glow flew away, and the whole person fell asleep on the clouds like a fairy.
After drinking for three rounds, the two big-tailed animals finally showed their tails.
The prefect of Nanzhou stopped his cup and tossed his chopsticks, shaking his head and sighing mournfully.
Persuading him to drink failed, the young man put down his glass and asked politely, "Brother, there is something hard to say, why don't you tell my foolish brother."
"It's not really something worth mentioning," the Nanzhou prefect waved his hand, pretending to be reserved, "It's just that the tree is so big that it was slandered by jealous villains."
"There is such an injustice at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Whoever arranges the elder brother, let's see if I don't cut off his tongue!"
The Nanzhou prefect wiped the crocodile tears from the corners of his eyes, "I only tell my acquaintances secretly. Brother Fan Xian, please don't stand up for me, that man is so majestic that even the Holy Majesty is afraid of him!"
The dishes on the table were rich, and Zhen Guanqi, who pricked up his ears, picked up Fengming's watermelon and put them in his mouth.
The taste is sour and astringent, really unpalatable.
The wine was mostly woken up by the acid water, and after a long time of hearing nothing from the Nanzhou prefect, he finally realized that the outsider was actually himself.
After Zhen Guanqi closed the door for the two of them, Nanzhou prefect put down his sleeves and said, "You also recognize that person, it's—"
"That old hyena from the Criminal Ministry."
Su Lan's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and she used a fake smile to cover up her panic for a moment.
Corrupting Nanzhou's disaster relief food and being targeted by Zhong Yiyao and bribing him has nothing to do with it. In his humble opinion, it is better for the Nanzhou prefect to hang himself with a white silk, so as not to hurt his wife and children at home.
The Nanzhou prefect, who wiped his tears and lamented that "the world is going down, and the traitors are in power", was immersed in the emotion of being beaten up and couldn't extricate himself, and didn't care about Su Lan's strangeness at this time.
"That old hyena is not a good thing. He actually framed my stockpiling of food as embezzlement of Nanzhou's disaster relief food. You also know your brother's character, how could you do such a thing? His slander has spread to the Holy One Ears, for brother, for brother I'm afraid..."
"It's hard to escape this disaster!"
The young man held his forehead and said nothing, sighed for a long time, and drank a lot of white.
"It's a pity that the younger brother is only white now, otherwise he will be admonished for his elder brother in the court, and fight to the end with that old dog who is doing anything wrong to frame Zhongliang."
"If there is anything that my little brother can help with, it's okay to talk about it, brother."
"Hey, you don't have to blame yourself so much, brother Yu really needs help from brother Yu. I heard that brother has some contacts in the palace, so..."
"It's such a difficult task." Su Lan frowned, and smiled calmly, "You don't need to say too much, brother, I will help you with this matter."
Talking with the wise man was really fun, the Nanzhou prefect raised his glass and smiled, "That's hard work, brother!"
"only……"
The governor of Nanzhou saw the young man showing hesitation, so he asked, "Just what?"
"It's just that the old dog of the Ministry of Punishment is used to beating up. Is there a way to resell the grain hoarded by my brother's house? To avoid being framed by that old dog out of thin air."
The disaster relief food is not a small amount, and the Nanzhou prefect is not greedy enough to eat most of it.
Corrupt officials have a way of corrupt officials, this trick is also known as dark storage, a whole truckload of grain is only placed on the surface with grain bags, and the rest is filled with sand and gravel bags.If something really happened, he would leave the calamity to his subordinates, and he would bribe himself with the money he got, and he would be a good man again when the limelight passed.
But there are also disadvantages-so much food, even the prefect of Nanzhou can hardly resell it in time to digest.
That's why there are still thousands of stones of grain and grass hoarded at home-the Punishment Department ransacked the house to make sure it was right, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to Beijing, rushed to the doctor for sudden illness and threw it on Lu Lingyun's head.
The young man pointed out that the corrupt official was in serious trouble at this moment, and the Nanzhou prefect hurriedly asked, "I wonder if my virtuous brother has a way to save me?"
Su Lan got up, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back, with "I have a way, but I'm still hesitating whether I should take this risk" written all over her face. The prefect of Nanzhou became more and more anxious, and grabbed the boy's arm and said, "My dear brother Make fun of Brother Yu, and I hope to give you an accurate word."
The boy frowned, his lips moved, and finally remained silent.
"Brother Fan Xian!"
The young man glanced at the anxious corrupt official, Shi Shiran sat back on the stool, "It's not that there is no way, it's just to see if my brother believes me or not."
"If you don't tell me, how will you know that I don't believe you? You just say it."
"If the Thousand Stones of Grain is in the hands of my elder brother, it will be a hot potato; but if it is in my hands, I have a way to make it be bought overnight, but..."
The young man waved his sleeves, "Forget it, forget it, it's really not appropriate, I won't kill you."
If Su Lan only said the first half of the sentence, the Nanzhou prefect would not believe him; but Su Lan denied himself, obviously he was at war with heaven and man in his heart.The corrupt official hurriedly took the boy's hand, "No, no, brother Fan Xian, of course I believe you."
The young man was greatly moved, and he shook the corrupt official's hand, "Really?!"
He thought for a while and showed a shameful expression, "It's my villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly. To be honest, I am not a counterfeiter at all."
The Nanzhou prefect knew it in his heart a long time ago, but he was still surprised.
The prefect of Nanzhou pretended to be relieved, "Your brother and I have only met for a while, it is a good thing to be vigilant, I can't blame you for my brother."
The boy lowered his head in embarrassment.
He repented, he blamed himself, he was ashamed.
When he raised his head, he patted his chest and promised loudly, "Don't worry, brother, if something happens to you in the future, you will report my name, Lu Lingyun, and your family will be safe!"
"Life is like a play, it's all about acting"
