Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 74
With disheveled hair, Leng Liyu saw in the crowd the relatives of more than a dozen former classmates of Chang'an Academy. He was supposed to be inside the examination venue, but he was outside the examination venue. He missed the opportunity of the scientific examination once every three years. The sadness and anger cannot be described in words.

He was completely immersed in his emotions, but he didn't notice the strong smell of gunpowder in the angry shouts of the surrounding people.

The steward of Leng's mansion was looking for Leng Liyu with ten servants in the crowd with a straight face, when he suddenly found him, he immediately surrounded him.

Leng Liyu was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and go in.

The butler Leng looked pleasantly surprised, grabbed Leng Liyu's arm tightly, and whispered in his ear very secretly: "Master, this is not a place to talk, you leave with this old slave."

Leng's carriage was parked in an alley not far away. As soon as Leng Liyu and Butler Leng got into the carriage, all the servants rushed to protect the carriage and left in a hurry.

Steward Leng opened his mouth and said, "Young Master, something big happened in the exam. In two days, 130 people were pulled out of the exam room by the guards and brought to the Ministry of Punishment."

Leng Liyu was dumbfounded, and asked in a voiceless voice: "How could this happen?"

Leng Guanjia said: "The exam questions have been leaked. Nine out of ten candidates from Chang'an Academy got the test questions before the exam, and there are also candidates from officials' families who have a good relationship with the crown prince."

Leng Liyu was extremely shocked.Every time he heard someone talking about Murong Ming colluding with Hou Mu, Minister of Rites, to sell exam questions to candidates, he felt it was impossible.

Steward Leng said with emotion: "Young Master, you are a student of Chang'an Academy. It is a good thing that you did not enter the examination room this time, otherwise you will not be free from suspicion and will be taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for questioning."

"Leaving the examination room in the middle of the examination is equivalent to handing in the examination paper, and I can't return to the examination room. Even if I enter the examination room this time, it will be a waste of time." Leng Liyu's mood returned from the bottom to the peak, and he felt sorry for Dongfang Xuanyi and Ouyang Jinyu in his heart. Be grateful.

"The old master sent a villain to wait for you outside the examination room, saying that you will definitely show up on the last day, and asked the villain to send you to the Zhuangzi in Huashan for a few days, and then return to Chang'an after Miss and Master Ouyang get married." Leng The butler took out the mahogany comb from the small cabinet in the corner of the car and combed Leng Li's hair.

The old man is Master Leng.Miss is Leng Ningshuang.

"What's the point of me going alone." Leng Liyu wanted to see Dongfang Xuanyi at this moment, and thanked him face to face.

After a long time, a strong wind suddenly picked up, as if it was going to rain heavily.

Leng Liyu opened the window of the car, he had already left Chang'an City, and came to the suburbs. There were far fewer cars and horses on the official road, and Chang'an Academy, which was shrouded in large dark clouds in the distance, gradually fell into darkness.

For the first time in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Great Hua Dynasty, the leakage of scientific examination questions led to the disqualification of hundreds of candidates and the imprisonment of more than a dozen officials from the entire Ministry of Rites.

Mr. Qu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, once served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was Ouyang Yue's immediate boss.This person was the Yuanfang uncle who tragically died of Donggong Qumin.

Yu Xiqing, the minister of punishment, is Ouyang Yue's brother-in-law.

Both officials held the mentality of a thorough investigation, not letting go of a clue or a criminal.

Since starting the proposal, Murong Ming was like an ant in a hot pot, extremely impatient, he sent his aides to persuade Mr. Qu and Yu Xiqing but was rejected.

Murong Ming felt dizzy for a while, so he listened to a staff member's suggestion and sent a master of the Imperial Forest Army to infiltrate the Ministry of Punishment to assassinate Hou Mu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Unexpectedly, there were top masters hidden in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the assassin was captured alive. Hou Mu never confessed. After learning about the assassin, he was furious and Murong Ming was vicious, so he confessed everything he knew.

This is good, not only this world, but also the scientific examination questions of the previous two world exams have been leaked. A total of 340 Jinshi and officials were involved, and [-]% of them were Jinshi from Chang'an Academy.

During Murong Yangxiao's reign, he held this exam for three consecutive times, and all the questions were leaked. He became the most incompetent and incompetent emperor in political affairs since the founding of the Great Hua Dynasty, and his status in the hearts of literati fell to the lowest.

He wanted to turn major events into small ones, and it was absolutely impossible not to record them in the history books.

The memorials to impeach Murong Ming from all over the country flew to Chang'an like a snowflake. Celebrities from the people jointly signed a letter requesting the abolition of the prince, and some even proposed the abolition of Empress Wu.

Under such circumstances, the examinations of the third realm had to be stopped, and the examination papers of candidates who were not involved in the case were also abolished. All sealed papers were sent to officials who were temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Rites.

As we all know, most of the candidates who came to Chang'an to take the general examination came from various places in the dynasty, and the farthest distance was as high as several thousand miles. Because others made mistakes, they took the test once in vain, and they had to stay in Chang'an for an unknown period of time before retaking the test. Will try, are very resentful.

The autumn rain is continuous, and the weather suddenly cools down and becomes cold.

After Murong Yangxiao saw a secret report handed over by the third prince Murong Qing, and met more than a dozen witnesses, he suddenly passed out and woke up after being rescued by the imperial physician. He has stopped morning court for three days.

In the past few days, Empress Wu and Murong Ming have been ordered by Murong Yangxiao to not leave the palace and cannot see him.This pair of mother and son with the most noble status in this dynasty fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Murong Qing's mother and concubine Qin Shufei was ordered by Murong Yangxiao to temporarily take charge of the harem.

The fourth princess Murong Ying, the fifth prince Murong Ang, and the sixth prince Murong Feng's biological mother, Xu Guifei, is the head of the four concubines.

This time Murong Yangxiao actually let Concubine Qin Shu pass Xu Guifei, which made her feel dissatisfied with Murong Yangxiao and hated Concubine Qin Shu all of a sudden.

Concubine Qin Shu came from a famous family, and her family was very powerful, even stronger than the Wu clan, but because of her ordinary appearance, she didn't like to go to Murong Yangxiao, so she was far less favored than Concubine Xu Gui.

The palace people taught Concubine Qin Shu what Xu Guifei complained about.

"A slut who doesn't even know a few words is not satisfied with being concubine. She is actually jealous of me." Concubine Qin Shu immediately used a trick to let Murong Yangxiao, who was still ill, know about this and punish him. Concubine Xu Gui copied the Diamond Sutra a hundred times for him.

A strong smell of meat wafted from the kitchen of the Duke's Mansion. Mrs. He had been sent back to Ouyang Mansion in Chang'an by Ouyang Jinhua to prepare a wedding banquet in a few days. Ma Dabao and Ma Qi, three cooks, were cooking today's lunch.

Yesterday, Liu San, the housekeeper of Lishan Village, sent two sheep.Last night, Ouyang Jinhua asked the kitchen to kill the sheep. The sheep bones had been stewed since last night, and this afternoon they would eat mutton boiled in a pot.
