A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"You said it would be too damaging for Mr. Gu to do so." The fat monk muttered in a low voice.

"Whatever, it won't kill them anyway." The dwarf also murmured in a low voice, and then quickly climbed into a wall to do something.

"Wait for me!" The fat monk twisted his body and struggled to climb over the wall.

Early the next morning, a scream woke up the whole street, and a disheveled woman ran out of the house, crying all the way, and came to Dali Temple to ask for help.

Di Renjie almost lived in Dali Temple.

"The season is about to change, so don't wear too thin. Take these new clothes." Li Wan put down her luggage.

Looking at his wife, Di Renjie said again, "How are you doing recently?"

"It's good." Li Wan smiled softly, "With Master here, and Sister Wu taking care of me, there's nothing wrong with it. Recently, my sister also comes to see me often, but the child in my belly is getting more and more noisy."

"That's good, that's good." Di Renjie smiled at his wife, "Come out soon."

"It's early." Li Wan looked at Di Renjie, "Doctor Sun said that he won't come out for more than two months."

"I report that the Dali Temple Minister has a woman who has come to sue." The guard outside the door spoke up.

"Go, I'll clean up the house for you." Li Wan whispered.

"Hey, good." Di Renjie responded and walked out of the house while arranging his official uniform. He came up and looked at the woman with disheveled clothes and messy bun, "What's your grievance?"

"The little girl was..." she cried, "her body was defiled."

Lifting his spirits, Di Renjie asked again, "Who is it!"

"An old man, I don't know who he is." She cried.

The little official of Dali Temple handed the file to Di Renjie, "Master Dali Temple, she told me this."

After receiving the file, Di Renjie looked at it, and immediately understood the general idea, and felt his scalp tingle. This woman is not someone else but a Jiangnan Dao businessman who wants to do sea trade business with the teacher.

Chapter 366 The Scholar in the World ([-])

The maid next to the Jiangnan businessman was put to sleep by the elders of the gentry. This incident smelled very strange, and Di Renjie immediately smelled the smell of conspiracy.

"Bring the prisoner here." Di Renjie said loudly.

"My lord!" Another small official from Dali Temple came to report and said, "Many women have also been given by elders of the gentry..."

"You mean there are more?" Di Renjie raised his voice in surprise.

"Yes." The clerk nodded.

"Bring me all the people." Di Renjie said weakly.

Dali Temple was dispatched quickly, and the street near the west of Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an was full of chaos, there were shouts and wailing, and one after another, old men were taken into Dali Temple.

Di Renjie sat firmly in the high office, looking at the people standing in front of him, forming a distinct pattern of old men on one side and Yingyingyanyan sobbing women on the other.

More than one and an agreed gang to commit the crime?Although they are slave maids, this practice is really... Everyone gasped. It turned out that these old men like this kind of tone, which is appalling, unprecedented, and deeply hidden.

"Do you know what happened last night?" Di Renjie first asked those old men.

"The old man never touched her last night!" said an elder of the gentry.

"Really?" Di Renjie looked at the women beside him.

"It's him! I was knocked unconscious last night, and then I woke up and slept next to him, still naked." The woman sobbed again.

"You are lying! The old man never touched you at all."

They screamed, "That's what you men say."

……

The people watching outside Dali Temple sighed.

Cheng Yaojin passed by the Dali Temple and looked at the lively scene and sighed, "Why is Chang'an becoming more and more uneven."

"It's not bad." Niu Jinda also echoed, "I don't know if some kind of monsters and monsters have come to Chang'an recently to make trouble."

The two shook their heads and sighed heartily.

Di Renjie was very nervous about this matter, he couldn't tell whether these women were raped or not. He wanted to let these old guys calm down, but these old guys refused to admit it, and instead spoke out righteously.

"It's fine if you put on your pants and don't recognize people. You're still so confident. I've never seen such a brazen person." I don't know if it was the crowd watching outside who said something, and everyone echoed.

Everyone knows the things about Pingkangfang. It’s a man who knows what he’s going to do. It’s good that he knows it in his heart. Thanks to the folk customs of Tang Dynasty, he went to Pingkangfang and was chased and killed by his wife for a few streets. It's rare, but it's a bit unruly if you don't admit it, and all the prostitutes in Chang'an despise it.

"If you didn't do it, you didn't do it. The old man is not afraid of the shadow. Someone must have slandered and framed the old man."

Still don't admit it, the clients in Chang'an despise him again...

Until a few Jiangnan merchants sent people to deal with this matter, they gave these maids to these gentry in a daze. The elders of the gentry explained for a long time with red faces. Accept it, it's peace of mind.

As soon as Chang'an came out of the secluded alley, the fat monk gave money to a few women, "I'm sorry to trouble my sisters, I'll accept the money myself."

"You're welcome, you can still find us next time." They are all older sisters who have been in the world for a long time, managing half of the female prostitutes in Chang'an, and they are also the channels for all brothels.

"I still hope there will be no next time." The fat monk smiled wryly, "You women are easy to do, but we men do this kind of work, and my brothers are all afraid of me, for fear that I will let them divert to your subordinates."

"I just can't figure it out. How did you find out where these women are coming and going? Have you been following them for a long time?" A sister said, "If you want a beautiful girl, you can come to us."

"I'm getting old, I'm afraid I'm not in good health, so I'll take my leave." The fat monk hurried away.

The older sisters were also happy to collect the money and go away separately, and then hid themselves for fear that the officials would investigate to the end, but this kind of thing would probably be left alone, after all, some things about men and women are still unspoken.

Gu Qing was discussing the imperial examination with Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, and Shangguanyi.

Chu Suiliang took out a dossier, "It's just that there are more than [-] vacancies in official positions in the court now."

"So much?" Shangguanyi was puzzled.

"That's not even counting those petty officials, from the servants to the Huangmen, which doesn't include the lack of manpower in the Nine Temples and Twelve Guards. Nowadays, many people in the court hold multiple positions, and some are Because Dali Temple took people."

"If this is the calculation, at least 2000 officials need to be recruited for this imperial examination." Xu Jingzong said hesitantly.

"Not enough." Gu Qing said.

"I don't think it's enough either." Chu Suiliang also nodded, "At least three thousand."

Xu Jingzong stepped forward, "Would it be too much?"

"No! Three thousand is not enough. I need 1 quasi-officials and [-] including reserve officials!" Gu Qing said.
