At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

It's over, it's over.

Since you dare to attack him without being convicted, think about it...

Zuo Jia's face turned pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

He put his hand on the injured area and gasped for air. The cold sweat seeping from his forehead wetted his hair and dripped down his chin onto the luxurious brocade robe.

Zhao Zheng stepped on the imperial chair and patted the dust on his military boots. He whistled angrily, and someone immediately came forward and dragged Zuo Jia away.

Zhao Zheng's death gaze turned to Liang Jiang aside.

The young man immediately raised his hand in recognition and followed the soldier obediently.

Liang Jiang grew up in the colorful world of Yangzhou. Sometimes he did look down on the country bumpkins in Jingzhou's ravines, and he was a bit arrogant.

But it doesn't mean... He has the guts to collude with the examiner of academic affairs. Once found out, he will be exiled with tattoos, or his house will be confiscated and his head will be lost.

Damn it, damn Zuo Jia!

If he is not implicated, he will definitely go to Linwu County to dig up the Zuo family's ancestral grave!

......

The seventh day of July.

Zhu Daoqing, a doctor in the Civil Service Examination Department, drew his sword and committed suicide after leaving a thick stack of blood confessions at home.

There were hundreds of officials involved in the blood letter, large and small.

On the same day, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was temporarily dismissed from his official position due to dereliction of duty and was introspecting at home.

Since then, newly appointed governors and ministers have been setting out from Shangjing with secret orders and rushing to Daliang Prefecture overnight.

The governor of Jingzhou arrived at Wuling County on the same day.

Directly detour to Shenwu Camp on the outskirts of Linyuan, and order Zhao Zheng to assist in handling the case.

It was late at night before quietly entering the city.

The "black-hearted" county governor of Jingzhou, Zhuang Yun. He was dug out in his sleep and thrown into the Gongyuan.

As a temporary replacement, Jingzhou took the academic examination for this college examination, and began a boring life in confinement.

Si Yuandao was invited to the government office to act as the governor of Jingzhou until Zhuang Yun was released from prison.

......

Inside the government office.

"Although Xu Yueming's brain is not very easy to use, he and Zhu Daoqing are very close as husband and wife."

Xu Wenyuan was tired of talking, so he picked up the tea cup, the tea lid flicked on the water, and the fresh fragrance of Longjing tea came to his nostrils.

Take a sip of tea soup, close your eyes and taste it carefully.

"Ah? Who is this Xu Yueming?"

Xie Mingcheng shook the stool impatiently, as if there was a needle under his buttocks and he couldn't sit still.

Xie Yuheng scooped up a spoonful of watermelon and put it into his mouth, slowly fluttering his eyelashes up and down.

Could the surname Xu be related to Chu Tianchen's rumored concubine?

Xu Wenyuan put down the tea cup and glanced at the governor of Jingzhou.

Seeing that his superior had no intention of stopping him, he continued: "This Xu Yueming belongs to Chu Tianchen..."

Xu Wenyuan paused and carefully considered his words, "Chu Tianchen's concubine, Xu Jiao, the youngest daughter of the Xu family, the eldest concubine."

More than half an hour later...

Only then did Xu Wenyuan tell the story of Zhu Daoqing, a doctor in the former Ministry of Civil Service Examination Department.

Examination Department.

It is the department in charge of imperial examinations in the imperial court and is also responsible for the assessment of civil and military officials.

Among the doctors in the examination department, the officials are small and powerful.

As for this official rank, it is also considered minor in Shangjing, and it can be placed on the same level as the prefect in the local area.

Xie Yuheng tapped the skin of the melon with his fingers, combing through the messy stories told by Xu Wenyuan in his mind.

I really don’t know how he became the censor of Jingzhou...

This Zhu Daoqing was originally the former governor of Yizhou County and an unpopular concubine in his family.

When Chu Tianchen was in power, he and his father went to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

Xu Yueming was set up by her aunt to marry Zhu Daoqing. By a strange combination of circumstances, the two became extremely affectionate.

After Chu Heng captured Yizhou.

I wish Daoqing to follow him on the expedition and serve as a small chief in the army.

It was precisely because of this small position that Chu Tianchen's people came to him.

With the life of Xu Yueming's mother, Zhu Daoqing was threatened to act as an internal agent and deliver news from Chu Heng's army.

Reluctant to abandon his beloved wife and shed tears every day, Zhu Daoqing began to convey military information to Chu Tianchen's people, but... the accuracy was too low.

Zhu Daoqing speculated that his position in the military was too low and he had no access to effective information.

It just so happened that during that time, Chu Tianchen's army was beaten to pieces and could only retreat to the north of Jizhou.

In many towns that were originally planned to be abandoned, Chu Tianchen's people passed the news to Zhu Daoqing in advance.

Help him improve his position in the military, thereby improving the accuracy of the information Zhu Daoqing obtains.

I wish Daoqing would not refuse anyone who came, but the information he conveyed after his promotion was still half accurate, true and false.

After Zhu Daoqing thought about it carefully, he felt that Chu Tianchen was inhumane and had no future.

He deliberately made a small mistake and was transferred to the rear.

Until last year, Chu Heng proclaimed himself emperor.

Zhu Daoqing, as a rare literary member, served as a doctor in the Department of Examination and Examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Chu Tianchen's people came to find him again, accompanied by the dried palm of the Xu family's aunt.

His wife Xu Yueming fainted immediately when she saw the broken palm.

After waking up, he threatened to die and wanted Zhu Daoqing to work for Chu Tianchen's reset plan.

The imperial examination has not been held for four years since the war, and the number of candidates for this examination is the largest in the past century.

If this imperial examination succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous...

Fortunately, I wish Daoqing's conscience is still intact.

He also felt that after Chu Tianchen was restored to power, his beloved wife's mother would not be able to escape death either, and would at best have to live an ignoble existence under the hands of the mistress of the Xu family.

They simply had a showdown with Chu Heng, and the two teamed up to set up a trap to trap Chu Tianchen's people.

Unfortunately, Xu Yueming accidentally overheard Zhu Daoqing and his colleagues discussing in the study.

After a few days of depression, while Zhu Daoqing was not at home, he committed suicide by hanging from a beam...

After Zhu Daoqing returned home, he was extremely sad. He left a blood letter as evidence, committed suicide and followed his beloved wife.

Chu Heng ended the rest of the game.

......

The above is from what Xu Wenyuan said.

Xie Yuheng expressed doubts about its authenticity. He fiddled with the calculation beads with his little hands and closed his eyes in deep thought.

It would be better to say that Zhu Daoqing was Chu Tianchen's pawn from the beginning.

Chu Heng's people used Zhu Daoqing to deliver false news and lead the enemy troops into the pit.

Finally, Zhu Daoqing's remaining value was squeezed out, and Chu Tianchen's remaining minions in the country were pulled out.

The accuracy of Xu Wenyuan's information is, well... maybe half and half.

Xie Mingli, who was captured by Si Yuandao as a young man, came back from work and brought a box of Xiangyun Lotus Cake to Xie Yuheng.

Lin Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, looked at the little guy.

The little guy holds the lotus cake in both hands and looks so cute as he enjoys it in small bites.

He was still a child after all, Lin Jing smiled and shook his head.

Looking through the list of confiscated property handed over by the young man in Tsing Yi, Lin Jing couldn't help but praise: "Good at arithmetic."

He turned to Si Yuan and said with a smile: "I think the Ministry of Household Affairs will recruit a great talent within ten years."

The old fox happily stroked his goatee and said, "The governor has given me too much praise."

Don't think he didn't see the way Lin Jing looked at Xiao Yuheng just now.

Xie Mingli is very good at arithmetic, and Xie Yuheng is not bad at all, or even better.

Lin Jing knows nothing.

The little guy is giving his elder brother a chance to show off. Where can he find such a brotherly, respectful and intelligent disciple?
