Chapter 149 Huang Wei's Sweet Dream

This master's expression was full of contempt, but his heart was full of vigilance.

Indeed, the Chief Executive is the biggest official in Shaanxi Province, and everyone in the province wants to curry favor with him and get some benefits.But even if you want to please him, it's not your turn to be Huang, right?

This Huang Wei is very cunning, if he really caught Mr. Gao's eyes, what are we masters doing?
Hearing his reprimand, Huang Wei's face flashed with greenness.When he was the boss in Hancheng, Du Shenghui and Du Zhixian were the hands-off shopkeeper. He could tell many things in the yamen with one word, which is such a prestige.

But now it is the first time for him to be disciplined by a master like a grandson.

As before, Huang Wei's expression changed and he was about to explode.

Seeing Huang Wei's uneasy expression, the master snorted: "Why, Huang Wei, do you have something to say?"

Huang Wei immediately realized his current situation, immediately lowered his body, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master is right, it's my fault." The so-called seventh-rank official of the prime minister's family, although this master is just an ordinary person.But he is a staff member of the chief minister, so he can speak to Mr. Gao.If you really offend him, if you want to play bad, you just need to say a bad word on the top without any trace, and you can let yourself drink a pot, it's better to flatter yourself first.

Master: "It's good to know that you are wrong. You people who came from a small place, you are too unreputable in doing things."

"Yes, yes, I am not famous, so I will ask you to give me more advice in the future." As he spoke, Huang Wei secretly stuffed an ingot of gold into the sleeve of the master, flattering him in a low voice: "I just want to get fame. As an official, it is also good to have an explanation to the parents who have passed away for many years, and to comfort the spirits of the two elders."

Seeing Jin Zi, the master's face looked better.He also heard that Huang Wei's words meant that he only wanted to gain fame, and that he did not constitute a competitive relationship with them, the staff of the chief envoy and the yamen, so he said: "It's not difficult to get a reputation as a juror."

Huang Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you, master, for your support. If Huang Wei has a future, he will never forget your kindness."

The master looked at Li Zhen who was sitting in the front sedan chair and was dying from the heat and exhaustion of the journey, and said quietly: "Mr. Changqi is already in a coma. If you intend to promote you, you will naturally be indispensable for raising people's fame."

Hearing the word Juren, Huang Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Master, how much money you need, just say it yourself."

"Money is necessary, but it's not all about money. For some things, it depends on whether your eyes are good or not. That's all, you can figure it out for yourself! However, the superiors can let you go Being in this long-term team is already a rare opportunity for you, Huang Wei, it depends on whether your understanding is enough."

Huang Wei nodded: "Yes, Master is right."

The team was still moving forward slowly, waiting until the master turned around.Huang Wei's eyes became sharper, he clenched his fists fiercely, and said in his heart: Juren, Juren, I, Huang Wei, will definitely get this fame!If you really want that day, Gao Wen, Gao Wen, it is all thanks to you.In order to repay your kindness, the best way is to personally send you to the execution ground and see your head fall to the ground with my own eyes.Don't worry, Mr. Huang will offer three sticks of incense and burn a few pieces of yellow paper on your grave every year.

Hehe, this is a blessing in disguise, and I don't know if it is a blessing.

If it weren't for the bastard surnamed Gao who made such a big commotion, I really wouldn't be able to catch some big shots.

With such a great opportunity in hand, if I don't use it well, it will be in vain for me, Huang Wei, to experience so many years in the yamen and in the officialdom.

Thinking of this, Huang Wei bared his teeth and showed a sneer.

……

Yes, during this period of time, Huang Wei has already investigated the matter clearly.After Gao Wen killed Mei Liang and his son and Han Kui that night, he moved his household registration to Pingliang Prefecture and took the local imperial examination.

I really didn't see that this former tall fool had an extraordinary talent in reading, and he actually passed the three tests of the children's test in one breath and won the honor of a scholar.

Once you get the fame, things will be troublesome.Guochao is quite generous to scholars, and it is simply holding and coaxing, lest it will cause their dissatisfaction.

The person surnamed Gao has a deep hatred with himself, and after he has gained fame and the right to speak, he will inevitably expose his embezzlement of Ma Zheng's money, and there will be endless troubles at that time.Therefore, Huang Wei privately sent a private message to Yuan Xinyun, who was in charge of the Criminal Division, and asked him to send someone to kill Gao Wen no matter what.

That's right, Yuan Xinyun, who was promoted to the Criminal Division, is Huang Wei's backstage and behind-the-scenes boss.

Every year, a small half of the government’s horse administration subsidy from the Mei family racecourse falls into this guy’s pocket. After all, being greedy for the ink horse administration subsidy is a decapitation business.It is said that apart from the Meijia racecourse, Yuan Qianshi also made a fortune in other racecourses.

This person is greedy and ruthless. To deal with this matter well, it is not difficult to harm a mere Gao Wen.Regarding this matter, Huang Wei has nothing to worry about.

However, since this corrupt official takes so many benefits from me every year, it would be too cheap just to ask him to kill Gao Wen alone.

……

Huang Wei always likes to maximize his profits when doing things. Gao Wen learned that the tricks in Mei's racecourse, on the surface, seemed to be an unprecedented crisis for him, Huang.But calm down and think about it, it may not be a good thing.You can use this to coerce Yuan Xinyun and ask him for some benefits.Otherwise, everyone will fall apart, and I, Huang Wei, may not be able to fight back in order to protect myself and act as a tainted witness for the court in order to seek leniency.

"Then, what benefits can I get from Yuan Xinyun and Yuan Qianshi?"

The first thing Huang Wei thought of was money, but he quickly dismissed the idea.This Yuan Xinyun is greedy by nature, even if there is a egret flying by in front of him, he will scrape two taels of oil off its legs.If you asked him for money, this dog officer was in control of such a vital department as the criminal justice department, so he really turned his face, maybe he took his life first.

Therefore, the benefit that Huang Wei obtained cannot touch Yuan Qian's vital interests first.Secondly, the difficulty of this matter should not be too great. For Yuan Xinyun, it is just a matter of little effort.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Wei got a headache, but still couldn't figure out what to do next.

At this time, the imperial court sent Li Zhen to Shaanxi to preside over this year's rural examination, and the team had already arrived in Huazhou.

Huazhou is the first stop of the imperial envoy's main examination in Shaanxi, according to the rules of the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty.For the rural examination in a province, the chief and deputy examiners are selected by the imperial court to go to the local government, and the supervisor of the examination can be served by the local chief envoy.As for the inner and outer curtain officials in the examination room, they are selected from the prefects, prefectures and counties of the local provinces.The so-called inner and outer curtain officials mean that on the day of the provincial examination, when candidates and examiners enter the Gongyuan, the gate of the examination room will be locked, and they will not be allowed to leave the examination room until the examination is over.

The chief examiner lives in the Zhigong Hall of the Gongyuan. Because there is a door behind the Zhigong Hall, a curtain is added to separate it. The inside of the curtain is called the inner curtain; the outside of the curtain is called the outer curtain.The chief examiner and fellow examiners live in the inner curtain, and their main duty is to mark the papers.Its assistants are promoted, supervised, and accepted officials, who are in charge of managing test papers, etc., and are also in the inner curtain.

The outer curtain is the residence of officials such as supervisors, external transfers, supervisors, palms, and transcriptions.The officials of the outer curtain manage the affairs of the examination room.

The inner and outer curtain officials do not communicate with each other, but contact the inner curtain door for official business.

To put it simply, the inner curtain officer is responsible for transcribing the candidates' papers, reviewing the papers, and recommending the papers, while the outer curtain officer is responsible for the discipline and invigilation of the examination room.

Coincidentally, Du Shenghui, the magistrate of Hancheng County, happened to be selected as the same examiner in this round of the township examination, that is, Neilian officer.Responsible for marking and recommending papers.Once your test paper is recommended by him and finally won the exam, he will be your room teacher.

Generally speaking, there are 18 examiners in each province, and if they are not enough, they hire officials and county magistrates of Jiake from neighboring provinces.In other words, officials who are co-examiners must be Jinshi.

Du Shenghui is a Jinshi, and his teacher is Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Naturally, this kind of good thing of recruiting students and accumulating contacts cannot be missed.

Therefore, under the leadership of Shaanxi Xuezheng, Du Zhixian went to Huazhou early to wait for the imperial envoy Li Zhen and Li Gong.

After Huang Wei heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.I also remembered that Gao Wen participated in the Boys' Examination in Pingliang Mansion, and mixed with the ranks of scholars, so that when the local officials were arresting fugitives, they had no way to connect a bandit who murdered and robbed him with a scholar. It was only later that Han Cheng found out that Gao Wen had gone to Pingliang.

This incident gave him a great inspiration: Yes, even a bastard surnamed Gao wants to take the imperial examination, so I can try it too!That's right, I, Huang Wei, am just a little scholar. If this continues, I will be just a little boss in this life.No matter how many things you do in office, it is impossible to keep up.But if he could get a job title, he would be a direct county magistrate.In my way, as long as I really enter the officialdom, I may not have a good future in the future.

Yes, you can use this matter to coerce Yuan Xinyun and the forces behind him, and tell him to give me Huang Wei a reputation as a public servant, and after I get the fame, I can find an official position for me.

At that time, I, Huang Wei, will be a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Huang Wei was originally an ambitious person, and when he thought of this, his heart became hot.

Immediately unable to hold back, rode a fast horse and ran into Xi'an City.

The facts were as he expected, and Yuan Xinyun was furious when he heard Huang Wei said that he would take part in this year's imperial examination.How dare you talk nonsense to Master Ben, what kind of bastard is you Huang Wei?If you want to be a juren, if you want to be an official, you have to take the exam by yourself. If you can be a Jinshi, you can be appointed to the Imperial Academy.However, although you are a scholar, you have been in the master's position for 20 years. I am afraid that the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" have been returned to Confucius and asked you to write a stereotyped essay. And this wishful thinking?

If it was usual to be scolded by his big boss behind the scenes like this, Huang Wei would have been so frightened that he would sweat coldly, pleaded guilty and withdrew.

But at this time, he had a normal face, saying that if Gao Wen was arrested in court in the future, he would inevitably talk nonsense in court and involve Huang Wei.If I really thought it was the occasion, I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't say something that would upset everyone.After all, reaching out to Ma Zheng for subsidizing money would mean ransacking the house. I, Huang Wei, have not slept peacefully for more than ten years.I have had enough of this kind of life, and I just want to get out of this sea of ​​suffering in Shaanxi.I also ask you to take pity on Huang, and allow me to raise a man and give me the official position of a county magistrate, and send him to other provinces far away to serve.

"What, you still dare to threaten this official?" Yuan Xinyun slapped the case and screamed angrily: "Are you looking for death, who are you as an official? If you have an official position, I will give you an official position. I am just a small job, but I don’t have this kind of ability.”

Speaking of this, Yuan Qian's affairs were full of murderous intent. As a high-ranking official in charge of prison for his whole life, it would not be too difficult to kill Huang Wei.

Huang Wei was not afraid, saying that a villain is not someone who sits and waits to be killed. If that time really comes, once the matter is serious and the court investigates it, the villain can only confess the truth, hoping to save his life.Of course, he treats me with great kindness, so he dare not hit this earth-shattering seal.Although you don't have the means, Mr. Yuan, the people behind you do!The villain doesn't want much, so he has his way.

He already had a premonition that there was such a big loophole in Shaanxi Mazheng, and so much money allocated by the state every year, it would definitely not be able to swallow it with just one incident. There must be a big shot behind Yuan Xinyun, but he didn't know who this person was.

This is already a rascal's face, and Yuan Qian has nothing to do with it.After being bored for a long time, I said, it's not a big deal to find you an official position in the official department.But first, you have to win the exam.The imperial examination is a matter of hard work and real skill. It is good for you to pass the exam. If you fail the exam, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will be useless to intercede.

Huang Wei: "It depends on man's effort, otherwise, think about it again, my lord, there is no unparalleled road, and the villain believes this."

Yuan Qian only said: "You go down and wait, I will give you a call after thinking about it."

Huang Wei went down and waited for a few days, and Yuan Xinyun came over with a message saying that Li Zhen, chief examiner Li, and Yiying Inner Curtain Officer had arrived in Xi'an, and that the gentry and scholastic leaders from all over the country would go to receive them, and they added Huang Wei's name. During these days in Xi'an, you can go out to socialize.In addition, at the Xuezheng Yamen, he, Huang Wei, can sign up for this year's provincial examination.

As for what to do next, and how to take the test, it depends on your Huang Zhubo's own means.

Hearing Yuan Xinyun's words, Huang Wei was so happy that he almost flew into the sky, knowing that he might have a chance in this year's provincial examination.

The so-called entertainment is nothing more than the gentry and scholars treat the chief examiner to dinner under the arrangement of the government, and bear all the expenses of the imperial envoy chief examiner in Shaanxi.Firstly, it can save money for the yamen, and secondly, it is nothing more than to say something, explore some problems, and hope to make a joint.

Those who can be arranged to receive the chief examiner are not the top figures in Shaanxi, either they have been officials, or they are famous scholars in Shilin.

Huang Wei is just a small boss, but he was able to take the imperial examination directly without passing the selection of the official school, and he was arranged to be in such an occasion, which shows the dignity of the person behind Yuan Xinyun.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly startled and excited.
