Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 385 Who Is That Man
As soon as Su Jin walked out of the cellar, she vaguely heard screams for mercy in the cellar.

It's just that the yard is near the far end, and there was a strong wind this evening, and the sound of the wind was blowing so loudly that the sound inside quickly disappeared, and the sound inside the cellar could not be heard outside the yard.

"I say! I say! Don't hit me!"

Lu Maocai is a coward after all, and his body was already trembling under the series of tricks by Lin Tong and Wang Yun.

He originally thought that Han Jinrong would cling to a small official at most, but the tall, laughable but most vicious man just now asked him to try Jin Yiwei's torture methods.

Only then did he realize that the man that the woman was clinging to should not be of low rank!
But so what?
The person they provoked, even Jin Yiwei, he also gave way to a three-pointer!

The previous favorite, Jiang Bin, was so arrogant, and he had to be courteous in front of that person's family.

Unless that woman hugs the emperor's thigh, he, Lu Mao, will be convinced!

It's just that these people are rude and fierce, if they just keep silent, maybe their own lives will end here.

Since they wanted to know, he told them that he wanted to see how shocked these people were when they heard the name.

"Say! Who told you to do those things?"

Lin Tong kicked Lu Maocai again.

"Don't hit... I said, it's Yang... Yang Shen... you can't afford to offend him, he is Yang Tinghe's eldest son, you know Yang Tinghe... old Yang Ge..."

A few drops of blood dripped from the corner of Lu Maocai's mouth. He felt that if he was beaten by that rude man again, his life would be over.

"Stop talking, talk! Why did he do this!"

Wang Yun sternly stopped Lu Maocai from rambling.

Lu Maocai was very surprised. He said the names of the people behind them. These people didn't have the slightest surprised expression on their faces, as if they had expected it a long time ago. What's going on?

Could it be that these people have stronger backgrounds?

In this Ming Dynasty, who can have a stronger background than Yang Ge today?Who else can not be afraid of the Yang family?
"I said... I didn't know that Yang Shen and Yang Yongxiu found me through other people. He is a famous talent. I have heard it for a long time. I am very honored that he can meet me! I didn't expect that he would let me seduce me when he saw me. Mrs. Han, let me ruin his reputation and say that I will give me a lot of money after the work is done! I... am I a greedy person, I just said that I want to pass the scientific examination...to achieve fame, then Yang Yongxiu said to help me He is basically familiar with the examiners sent by the imperial court to Huguang every year. He knows how to formulate the questions and the ideas of the questions.

"I didn't believe it at first! How could this scientific examination be...how could it be possible...but Huguang will start the provincial examination not long after. It's almost the same! God... God is so unfair! We ordinary people have worked hard for many years, and people can easily know the shortcut!"

"Later, Yang Yongxiu also said that it is a provincial examination. What is it to raise people? The future general examination will be the big one. He will know the chief examiners in the capital. He will be the first to know who will be the chief examiner. If I do well, he will tell me I will be recommended to the chief examiner as a student in advance during the exam..."

Having said that, Lu Maocai's eyes lit up.

"But after I helped him, that guy not only didn't fulfill his promise...but...he was a despicable person. I thought he was a bright and talented person, but he turned out to be a despicable rascal. He kept saying that he He is the number one scholar, but didn’t he just pass the exam? I heard that Qin Shao’s essay was too good, and there were no flaws in other subjects. The examiner is not good at cheating, so he had to let Yang Yongxiu do the exam. I suspect that his probing is tricky, maybe he already knew the exam questions..."

Lu Maocai said that later, his eyes were angry and resentful!

"Then did he say, why did you frame Mrs. Han?"

"That... that didn't go into detail, but he looked down on the Han family, especially the second master Han, who said that the Han family was just trying to gain fame, but as far as I know, after the death of the Han family, Yang Yongxiu quickly followed a Zhang The daughter of the family is married, and the Zhang family has contacts with their family. I suspect that the two may have hooked up a long time ago! The Zhang family is a salt merchant family in Shanxi, rich, and Yang's father and son are trying to gain fame, saying that they don't love money. The most money-hungry...

"Why do you come to Beijing now?"

"Of course I'm here to seek justice! They broke their promises and thought they were using the Han family to get rid of me. Now that Mrs. Han is still alive, I don't believe him. Yang Yongxiu is not afraid...I want to get back what I lost... a little Nothing less... nothing at all..."

Lu Maocai said and finally roared directly.

"Bring the pen and paper and let him write down everything he said!"

Wang Yun called Xiao Sanzi to bring all the things on one side.

"Write!"

Lu Maocai hesitated a little, Lin Tong directly took a knife and gestured towards Lu Maocai's hand, which made him pick up the pen and paper tremblingly.

"I... I've written it all! You...you let me out!"

The things written by Lu Maocai were packed by Wang Yun, and he was asked to put his fingerprints on them.

Lu Maocai thought that everything was done, so he wanted to go out.

"You can figure it out! Don't make too much noise, don't kill people, I'll take the things to Grandpa..."

When Wang Yun walked up the steps of the cellar with the papers, he told the two people in the cellar to speak.

Soon there was another scream in the cellar.

Wang Yun frowned, and conveniently covered the cellar entrance with straw thatch.

……

"Father!"

When Wang Yin came in with a package, Qin Shao was practicing calligraphy with some green words.

Not to mention, using these things to practice calligraphy can really make people calm down a lot, and it is quite self-cultivating.

"Master, Wang Yun sent someone to deliver it overnight!"

Wang Yin unfolded the package and took out a few pieces of paper from it.

Qin Shao took the papers, unfolded them, and after a few glances, his eyes were a little cold.

"Well, it's about the same as I expected, but the rewards are quite big! Famous talents and scientific research prodigy families, even though it's not surprising that they operate in secret, they are just trying to gain fame and flaunt themselves. It would be interesting to spread the word! You Send it to Zhang Cong and the others, and ask him to print it out early, and by the way, ask him to look up Hongzhi's 12-year scientific examination fraud case, so that he can have some reference!"

Qin Shao laughed.

"Yes!"

Wang Yin responded, quickly packed up his things, packed them up, and went out.

……

The original house of Qin Shao in the capital.

It was dark outside, but brightly lit inside.

Because of the extraordinary period, not only Zhang Cong lived here recently, but also Yan Song and Zhu Zhishan lived here.

"This is what His Majesty asked me to bring to you!"

Wang Yin took out the package and unfolded it.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Cong exclaimed excitedly.

Yan Song and Zhu Zhishan quickly picked up the few sheets of paper and began to study them.

"My lords, your majesty explained that you can refer to Hongzhi's 12-year scientific examination fraud case!"

Wang Yin reminded.

"Hongzhi 12 years, that's not...that's not Tang Yin and the others..."

Zhu Zhishan was the first to realize that he and Tang Yin were close friends, and he was even more familiar with this matter!

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! We waited for so many days, and His Majesty has never let us make a move. Let us wait a little longer, but we didn't expect it to be here! Your Majesty, you have never let me down!"

Zhang Cong couldn't help but shouted.

……

Day two.

""Jinghua Tabloid"! The hot "Jinghua Tabloid" is freshly released! A second generation of a famous official in the capital privately bestowed a salt merchant woman, causing people to destroy their engagement and unmarried wives Ming Festival, causing people to die; Catch the wounded Yuanwailang! Come and see! Come and see!"

Early in the morning, the newsboys were shouting on the street!
At this time, all the morning shops had already opened their doors, people who went to the market in the morning also took to the streets, and those officials on duty were also walking on the way to work in Shu.

The new emperor has been on the throne for more than ten days, and he has not yet started to go to court.

At the beginning, many people talked about it, the new emperor and the previous emperor...hahaha...

At least the first emperor really wanted to go to the court to do something, but the new emperor was interesting, he didn't go to the court at all.

It is said that now he is only obsessed with practicing Taoism and Lunfa in the palace, and he has a heated fight with several sycophants who can write Qingci.

Those who have a backstage official fortune don't care at all, anyway, many of those flatterers who can write green poems have no backstage, and now they are cold benches in the Qingshui Yamen, and now they just want to make money by flattering the new emperor.

As for some unknown people, some people consider whether they should also practice writing Qing Ci.

I heard recently that the new emperor is planning to go to court in a few days, but it's just a rumor, who knows when it will be!
Even in the upper court, there are only trivial matters discussed, and many major issues that need to be resolved have already been resolved by the cabinet.

But no matter how you think about it, this court is working normally. Although the big guys don't have to go to court, they still have to do normal duty and work.

Reading newspapers such as "Jinghua Tabloid", "Shangjing Express", and "Yandu Facts" every day has long been a daily routine for people in the capital.

Among them, the largest group of buyers of these tabloids are officials of all sizes in the government offices in the capital.

In particular, "Jinghua Tabloid" basically revolves around major events in the capital and all kinds of private entertainment and gossip in the aristocratic circle of the capital.

Don't look at the serious appearance of these officials, but look at the entertainment and gossip with relish.

Previously, the "Jinghua Tabloid" published several issues about the love affairs of Beijing officials who love to go to romantic places. The sales volume was surprisingly high, and they were sold out after printing for many days. During that time, the paper in Beijing was several pennies more expensive.

To make matters worse, because the sales volume of these tabloids was too high, "Shanghai Express" made a ranking list of the romantic charm of Beijing officials and fireworks in the capital, which attracted many votes. Yang Ge's son Yang Shen and Yang Tanhua were at the top of the list.

After this guy gained such a reputation, he was not ashamed but proud. I heard that he even organized a few tables of banquets for his relatives and friends!

However, I heard that Yang Ting and Yang Ge were very angry. When someone around him congratulated him on the fact that the tiger father has no sons, his old face turned black!

"Yandu Facts" is even more damaged, and directly set up an official's coquettish overnight stay on the ranking list!
I thought that there were not many voters for this matter, but I didn't expect to get angry, but this time, Yang Shen is at the bottom of the list, a sissy boy, how long can he hold on for a few seconds?That body will not work!
I heard that Yang Shen was very depressed when he saw it.

The second generation of officials in the capital murdered their engaged wife and married a salt merchant?
His grandma's, this news is amazing!

The recent news is all trivial, at most it is about officials' wives and concubines being jealous, scratching the official's little loach, and so on. It is not surprising that two concubines fight like today, which affects Chi Yu.

This Ming official, who doesn't have a few concubines in his family?
It was Lin Xiuzhuan, the poorest member of the Hanlin Academy, who was in his 40s and nearly [-] years old. His wife was so poor that he went to the street to pick up vegetables and leaves, and he still took two concubines.

Not only can I take care of Lin Xiuzhuan and enrich Lin Xiuzhuan's life, but I can also help my wife pick up more vegetable leaves and do some manual work to make money.

Therefore, things like jealousy among officials in the capital city are the most commonplace.

It's just that because of their identities, everyone likes to treat them as a pastime after dinner.

Of course, this kind of pastime is sometimes a sharp weapon, it depends on how to use it and how to grasp it!
However, a second-generation official in the capital actually engaged in private dating and murdered the betrothed woman. This seems to be inconsistent with the ethics and laws. Who is this?
"Boy, give me a newspaper!"

"Give me a newspaper!"

"Give me one!"

After a while, because the content of the newspaper was too hot, the crowd started to loot it.

"Have you seen it? The second generation of the capital seems to be an official now. He said that his original betrothed wife is from the Xiangyang family. In order to marry the salt merchant girl he secretly gave, he even specially asked the poor scholar relatives of that family to marry her." Deliberately framing Ming Jie, a wife who has never been married, lost that woman in the thieves, isn't that a bit too detrimental?"

Someone argued,
"Looking at the description, this news was several years ago, why did you mention it now?"

"What's wrong with you not reading it carefully? The person who contributed the manuscript is that poor scholar. He was bought by the second generation of officials to do bad things, and he was framed and almost lost his life afterwards. Then he came to Shangjing, presumably to beg Be fair!"

"Haha! This treacherous villain still has the nerve to speak up for justice, and the scholar's face has been embarrassing! He is ungrateful and framed the little lady of the benefactor's family just for the sake of the other party's promise that he can help him pass the provincial examination. It is really shameless! You can't rely on it Self-abilities test, making small moves! You really deserve it!"

"You said that you can still pass the provincial examination. Isn't that cheating? This... this is a big deal!"

someone reminded.

"That's right, we have been in poverty for many years, and thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge. Like me, I was in my 40s before I was admitted to Jinshi. Now I am in the middle school, but he is lucky. He can pass the provincial examination based on his connections! What is the reason for this!"

"That's right! You didn't look carefully. The other party not only promised that he could take the provincial examination, but also said that he could recommend someone to be his student during the national examination. Maybe that person is the chief examiner, and the chief examiner's student..."

Everyone discussed here, looked at each other, and it was self-evident what was in each other's mind.

Even though these people understand that many powerful and well-connected people will find connections to visit some Confucian officials when they enter the examination stage.

And in order to stabilize their position in the imperial court, those people will also specially recruit some outstanding candidates from other places as students before the examination. Once these students are in the position, they will be their strength in the future.

Of course, when training my students, I will explain my views on the content of the scientific examination.

This is like some teachers in Qin Shao's previous life drew key points for students before the exam!

If this teacher happens to become the chief examiner and the teacher who prepares the papers, the result can be imagined...

Although this thing can be regarded as something on the bright side, but dare to promise to recommend a certain official, it seems to mean that you can know in advance who will be the chief examiner. ...

"The "Jinghua Tabloid" isn't making up the news this time, is it?"

Someone asked in disbelief.

No one answered. Everyone knew that although "Jinghua Tabloid" was just a tabloid, the news it published in the past few years had never been verified for its authenticity, including several major incidents!
Many people guessed who the backstage of "Jinghua Tabloid" was. In the early days, some people speculated that it was Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, and some even speculated that it was a high-ranking official in the court, but they never found its source.

After the death of the late emperor, the tabloid still survived, and even became more active.

"According to the contributor's description, this second-generation official should be the son of a court official, and now he is also an official. His wife who had never been married before was from Xiangyang, and he married the daughter of a salt merchant! Salt merchants, today's salt merchants have In the south, there are also those in Shanxi..."

"Six ministries plus the cabinet, there are so many senior members, you guess one by one, the year of the monkey is so capable, let's push it from the cabinet first..."
