The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 127
Wei Qingyuan nodded and agreed: "But sister, don't worry, little uncle knows the seriousness, and won't be as lofty and pedantic as before."

Hearing what her uncle said, An Ran was really relieved, and then hurried to write a letter to Uncle He.She dared not write this letter in her own name, but wrote it in the name of her brother An Qi.

Seven days later, a strange rumor suddenly spread in Jiangyang City:

"Have you heard? Have you heard? The Juren who took the fourth place in the township examination last year actually cheated. I heard that he peeked at the test questions in advance! No wonder he was able to take the fourth place! Is Juren so easy to take the exam? ?”

"What? Impossible? Didn't you say that the test questions were opened in class during the exam? What is the background of that Juren? How could he have this ability?"

"It's strange to say that the Juren's surname is Zhao, and his name is Shenglin. His family seems to be very poor, and he is a farmer..."

"Hey, it's been deceiving people after a long time of trouble. If you want to talk about peeking at the test questions, is it possible for a rich man? This poor student can't even eat enough for himself, so how can he have the money to bribe Mr. Xuezheng to see it in advance?" Exam questions? There is nothing wrong with Xuezheng-sama!"

"Well, well, this little brother is right."

"Don't you believe me, I heard that Zhao Juren was a teacher for a county magistrate before, and he was highly regarded by the county magistrate. This exam question was shown to him by the county magistrate."

"This is even more unreasonable. A small county magistrate can at most just come up with a county examination question. The test questions for this township examination are issued by the emperor. Does he have this ability as a county magistrate? Does he have this ability? A county magistrate? I have already become a high official!"

"That's true! But now everyone is saying that Zhao Juren has been arrested and put in prison. It is said that the news was spread by Zhao Juren's sister-in-law. I heard that Zhao Juren's sister-in-law is also selling exam questions! Twelve One piece of money! Now I'm being arrested too..."

"Hahahaha, I haven't heard such an interesting rumor for a long time. The test questions for the township examination cost ten taels of silver? You won't believe it if you tell a lie! By the way, did Juren's sister-in-law sell the test questions? How much money did she get in total? Is there really such a fool who can't be fooled?"

"I'm not sure about that. It is said that the news that Zhao Juren has the test questions spread in March last year. Maybe someone will be fooled?"

"Last March? Did you make a mistake? Which idiot made up these words? In March last year, the test questions of the township examination were still in the mind of the old man, okay? Let alone a small county magistrate, even students from all over the country The political leaders haven’t decided yet! This is too ridiculous!”

"But Zhao Juren was arrested for this reason!" Someone said swearingly.

"He was really arrested? Didn't this Zhao Juren commit any other crimes?"

"Zhao Juren, a Juren from a humble background, what can he do? It is said that when he was a master, he was very famous, and the people all praised him. The emperor also agreed with the policy he wrote in the provincial examination, and distributed it all over the place. Let officials at all levels study hard!"

"Such a person will also be wronged? Don't some adult see him stealing his limelight and deliberately frame him?"

"Who knows?"

Five days later, such rumors began to spread in various small towns in Hejiang County.

"Hey, have you heard? Zhao Juren, the former Master Zhao was arrested by the current Master Lu!"

"Why? Mr. Zhao is such a good person!"

"I heard that Mr. Lu wanted to send a beauty to Mr. Zhao and ask him to be his master. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are very affectionate and refused to accept him. Mr. Lu became angry..."

"No, no, that's not what I heard. It is said that Mr. Lu heard someone report that Mr. Zhao resold the test questions of the township examination last March! It is said that Zhao Shihua passed the examination because he peeked at the test questions and wanted to deprive him of his fame. !"

"Really? Master Zhao got the test questions so early? Then why did Master Zhao's brother-in-law fail the exam? Master Zhao wouldn't be so stingy that he didn't even mention his brother-in-law? Instead, he sold it?"

"You guys are too good at talking. The test questions of the township test are distributed to all places before the test. How can Mr. Zhao have the ability to know the test questions in March? You can tell it's false as soon as you hear it."

"But Master Zhao's whole family has been arrested, it's true!"

"Yeah, I've heard about it too, and it's spreading everywhere..."

When Master Huang heard the rumor and reported it to Lu Chenxing, it spread all over Hejiang County, and many people went to the county government office to see if there was a notice.Teachers in the county school and scholars from all over the country also jointly petitioned to ask the truth.

Lu Chenxing had already reported the plan, and did not take these rumors to heart.He was not so stupid, and the "truth" he reported was all reasonable: Lin Xuezheng had a good relationship with the Qian family, so he leaked the test questions to Qian Rui and his in-law Zhao Shihua, so they both passed the exam.It's just that Mrs. Wang was so stupid that he wanted to steal the test questions and resell them, so he showed his whereabouts.

Lu Chenxing smiled triumphantly, as long as the Wang family put a charge on the confession form, he would directly report to the Ministry of Punishment and sentence him to be beheaded!

"My lord, it seems that the Zhao family still has money to let people spread rumors, why not simply ransack the Zhao family!" Master Huang suggested.

"There's no need to copy the house, but it seems that the Zhao family still has spare money. It's not good to make trouble if you have spare money."

"Young master is wise, I understand. I'll do it right now!" Mr. Huang flattered with a shy face, and then he led people to search Zhao's house.

It's a pity that the yamen servants didn't buy his account. Mr. Huang brought a group of people to Zhao's house, but they couldn't find anything of value. In his anger, he ordered people to smash up Zhao's house, but no one did anything.Master Huang was so angry that he swore secretly that he would replace all these "eating and clumsy" servants...

More than a month later, there was also a rumor in the capital about the leakage of the rural examination questions.

Yang Yan has already gone to the border.But before he left, he had explained that if that Juren named Zhao Shihua came to the Prince's Mansion and asked the butler to entertain him, he would help wherever he could.Therefore, Ling Yun, the secret spy leader responsible for collecting information, quickly found out the truth and understood the meaning of this rumor.

Therefore, the third prince's connections in the capital immediately took action, and soon spread the rumors, and almost sent them to the imperial case together with Lu Chenxing's Shangshu and the approval of the Ministry of Punishment...
