Xiangye

Chapter 212 Delayed
Shaanxi, in the city of Xi'an.

After Gao Wen left the examination room, he had a drink with Yu Xingyan and the future father-in-law Shi Linsheng, sacrificed to the Wu Zang Temple, and returned home satisfied.

Originally, I thought that my mother and Shi Youyi would ask me how I did in the exam.But she didn't want to, as soon as she entered the house, Shi Youyi had already boiled the bath water, used it to change clothes, and asked him to take a bath and change clothes.He smiled and said that his body was full of smoke and fire, which was very smoky.

It is true that after staying in the examination room for so many days in the hot weather, the smell of sweat and food from the kitchen mixed together on the clothes, which was already unbearable.

After taking a bath, Gao Wen's eyelids were twitching, he couldn't hold it any longer, and he didn't care what his mother said, so he went straight to bed and died.

According to the rules of Qiuwei in the township examination, after three exams, you have to wait for half a month until the list is released, so that the list can be released.

During this period of time, the examinees had nothing to do, and it was difficult to leave Xi'an and return to their hometowns.

Scholars in this era are at least from well-to-do families with a lot of money.Even for scholars from humble backgrounds, before they came to Xi'an to take the exam, the local government gave them money, so they were not afraid that they would not have living expenses.

With money in hand, but nothing to do.The examinees simply traveled around together, and visited the famous mountains and rivers in Guanzhong. Huashan is to be climbed, and the concubine Yang Guifei in Huaqing Pool is so washed that we also have to soak in it.Plus, it's a great opportunity to network.The scholars who can participate in the Shaanxi Provincial Examination are not top-notch in the province. Let's get to know each other so that we can help each other if we need something in the future.

Therefore, during this period of time, scholars all over the city are holding literary meetings, drinking and outing.

Gao Wen was not immune either, after a few social gatherings, Shi Youyi's second brother came over from Hancheng.Seeing her own brother, Shi Youyi was naturally so happy that she wiped her tears.When her second brother saw the girl, he was also happy in his heart, his eyes were red, but he was speechless.To be honest, he didn't know what to call Shi Youyi.Call "Sister", my father forbids it.Call Madam, you must lose face.

Fortunately, he stayed in the city for a day, and then went to Lantian with Gao Wen to take over the property there.

Lantian is a good place, with beautiful mountains and green waters, and the fields have high yields. There are about [-] tenants in the manor.Relying on the annual production of this manor and the annual rent of the shops in Xi'an, it is enough for Shi Youyi and Gao Wen's mother to live a decent life.

Shi Youyi's second brother was very excited to see her transform from a poor scholar's daughter into a country gentleman's wife.

According to Gao Wen's investigation, Shi Youyi's second brother is a real person, and he can read and write. After all, he is Shi Linsheng's son.Although it is impossible to study, the education at home is there.When receiving all the properties, he managed to keep a stable account, showing good talent.

In this way, Gao Wen was also relieved.

While starting a family business, Gao Wen also paid great attention to the Shaanxi Ma Zheng case.

After obtaining the conclusive evidence, Xu Zhen's spirit was lifted, and his detectives went out to Sona related criminals, and arrested more than 20 racecourse owners and sent them to prison in one go.In addition, nearly forty officials, large and small, in Shaanxi were also guarded by him, and all accounts were sealed.

For Shaanxi, this storm was simply an official earthquake.Once the court pursues it, it is unknown how many people will be ransacked and their homes will be wiped out, and it is also unknown how many vacancies will be vacated.

His impeachment papers had been handed back to Beijing long ago, and only when the imperial decree came, he would escort the relevant people to Beijing for trial.

It is conceivable that with such a big commotion, Mr. Xu has become the biggest political star in the country this year, and it is difficult not to be in the limelight.

After staying in Lantian for more than ten days, counting the days, the imperial edict should have arrived, and in a few days, the examination papers for the township examination should also be released.Although Gao Wen was quite sure that he could be on the list, who could say clearly what happened in the imperial examination?
Moreover, he suspected that Huang Wei cheated in the rural examination, otherwise how could he be so sure that he would pass in front of him that day.It would not be a good thing if this guy got hit.

Moreover, this person has been impeccable in the Ma Zheng fraud case, and no evidence has been caught of him.And because he stayed in the examination room all the time, it was not easy for Xu Zhen to send someone to the Gongyuan to catch him, so he let him go temporarily.

Now, it's time to deal with him.

It's not easy to ask for evidence, come here, get him a piece of evidence!
Haha.

Thinking of the scene that was about to happen, Gao Wen smiled softly.

After returning to Xi'an City, Xiaoying came over and told: "Sir, don't worry, when you went to Lantian, I have been watching Huang Wei, that fellow is still living in the residence in the city and has not returned to Hancheng, nor has he escaped. "

Gao Wendaqi: "This Huang Wei can hold his breath!" This surprised him.

Xiaoying smiled and said: "Although the Ma Zheng case caused the whole Shaanxi officialdom to be on fire like a fire in the dark night, the chief envoy Gao Linghan is still in the Tribute Court and has not been brought to justice, and the imperial decree from the emperor has not yet come down. As long as Gao Linghan is not arrested for a day , all the young men have illusions in their hearts. Huang Wei has been majestic all his life, how can he be willing to flee to the world to be a fugitive who is in constant fear."

Gao Wen smiled mockingly: "That's true, he still has illusions in his heart! A person who has enjoyed power will not give up until the last moment."

Xiaoying: "Besides, Huang Wei is so sick that he can't walk anymore."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "I'm sick, what's the matter?"

"The person surnamed Huang caught wind and cold in the examination room. He took the soup and medicine, which was good. But as soon as he left the examination room, he saw that the people involved in the horse political case were arrested and locked up. He was frightened and frightened, and suddenly fell ill It burned and changed its appearance."

Gao Wen rejoiced: "It's very good. He laughed at me for taking the hot seat when he was in the examination room, but he himself stayed in the stinky hall for nine days and nights. God knows if he gets sick. Okay, It’s very good, no matter what, it’s time to arrest him and bring him to justice, we must not let him die happily.”

Speaking of this, Gao Wen's new hatred for Huang Wei surged up in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you hurt my mother, I will definitely let this beast be imprisoned and suffer all kinds of illnesses to die. Hate. Giggle, still thinking about Zhongju, thinking of Gao Linghan supporting him, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

After speaking, Gao Wen went out to Xu Yu Xingyuan to get a card and lead someone to arrest Huang Wei.

When I first arrived at Xingyuan, I saw Xu Xuan.

Master Xu smiled and said: "Er Zhi, where have you been these days, haven't we seen each other for ten days?"

Gao Wen: "If you go back to your teacher, the student thinks that he will not participate in Chunwei next year, but will leave Shaanxi for Beijing. But the old mother at home is not at ease. The student still has some cash on hand, so he bought some property in Lantian. Prepare After Qiu Wei releases the rankings, marry a wife and start a family, and arrange for my mother, so that I can go to the exam with peace of mind."

Xu Yu continued to laugh and said: "It seems that Erzhi has a lot of money recently, and it is good to buy some property. No matter how much money is on hand, it will be exhausted for a day."

Gao Wen was a little embarrassed when he heard this.Mr. Xu is very careful, he naturally knew that the granary was closed that day, and he and Diaozhi county embezzled a lot of money.

However, judging from his appearance, it seems that he does not want to pursue this matter.

After Xu Yu laughed, he said again: "As for Chunwei, you are wrong. Even if you want to take the exam, you have to wait for two years."

"What, wait for two years?" Gao Wen was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "Men, why is that?"

Xu Yu: "What memory do you have, Chunwei Kaienke is naturally the first year of my Jingtai. Let me ask you, how old is Jingtai next year?"

"Naturally, next year will be the second year of Jingtai... Ah!" Gao Wen finally understood: Damn, it turns out that Chunwei has already passed the exam, but my mind is confused. And passed.

Seeing that Gao Wen was a little disappointed, Xu Yu comforted: "Erzhi, even though you missed Chunwei and couldn't be a student of the emperor, you don't have to be upset. According to the old man, it's okay to spend two more years studying your homework and laying a solid foundation. OK."

Gao Wen was helpless: "The teacher is right, students should be taught."

"Also... I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you..." Xu Yu hesitated for a moment: "As for your marriage after Qiuwei, I'm afraid it will be delayed."

"Postponed, why is that?" Gao Wen asked in surprise.

Xu Yu looked excited, and said: "Just now, His Majesty's imperial decree was sent to Xi'an in an expedited [-] miles. The old man just set up an incense case to receive the decree. His Majesty rewarded the old man for his work in the imperial decree, and ordered me to arrest him immediately Gao Linghan, the chief minister of Shaanxi, escorted the relevant criminal officials, criminals, and all the witnesses and materials to Beijing to be interrogated by the three judicial departments."

"Er Zhi, you are an important witness, and you need to go to the capital." He couldn't stop rubbing his hands, overjoyed: "I have been in Shaanxi for more than a year, and I can finally return to Beijing."

"Ah, students...students are going to Beijing too..." Gao Wen was dumbfounded and annoyed.In his original plan, he was indeed going to the capital.However, going there is to participate in the Spring Festival.

Now that I can't pass the exam, is there any point in going there by myself?
Also, if he couldn't get married to Shi Youyi, how would he face that infatuated woman.

I, Gao Wen, made a promise to her at the beginning, do I want to renege on my promise and lose weight?

Seeing that Gao Wen was not in a good mood, Xu Yu comforted him and said, "Er Zhi, you are the person that I value. I am also very pleased to be able to come to Beijing with my teacher this time. The world in Shaanxi is too small. It won't do any good in the future. You might as well live in the capital for two years, while going through the trial and studying for the exam. Even if you don't go to the capital this year, you have to go to the capital next year. The mountains and rivers will be so far away, it will be a bit rushed."

That's right, Gao Wen has to go to Beijing next year if he wants to take the exam in two years.

In fact, many Juren who have passed the provincial examination will enter Beijing two years in advance.Those who are determined to prepare for the exam in advance are ready to win a Jinshi to honor their ancestors; those who lose confidence in the imperial examination will go to Beijing for activities.

Many people stayed in the capital for more than ten years, and some even died there directly.
