[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Cai Hengan sat in the courtroom, but his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was even wet with cold sweat.

When he saw the master appearing, he immediately winked at him anxiously, as if seeing his reborn parents.

The master held a cup of tea in his hand and brought it to Cai Hengan, and quietly stuffed a small note into Cai Hengan's palm.

Cai Heng'an pretended to put his hand down, and unfolded the note, on which were written four large characters—obey the public opinion!

public opinion? !

Cai Hengan immediately understood, he had an idea in his mind, and he didn't panic all of a sudden.

He already had a plan in his mind, the so-called obedience to public opinion was nothing more than depriving Jia Enhou of his reputation.It's just that, just by listening to the mouths of these scholars, it is possible to conclude that he is not cheating?

This will not work.

It's out of order.

Cai Hengan was in trouble, he gave the master a look.

The master understood, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Since you students want to sue Jia Enhou, have you written a pleading paper? Do you have evidence?"

He Shifei shook his hand, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, stepped forward and bent slightly.

The master winked at the yamen servant.

The yamen servant took the paper and handed it to Cai Hengan.

Cai Hengan unfolded the pleading paper and took a look. There were a lot of words written on it eloquently. The rhetoric was gorgeous, but there was nothing on it.Cai Heng'an had to be patient to read the pleadings, so that he didn't die of anger.

He raised his eyes and asked, "Who wrote this pleading paper?"

When He Shifei saw him asking, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, "It was written by a student."

"Are you on the list in this township examination?" Cai Hengan asked.

He Shifei's heart became more and more joyful, only to feel that he was really a pearl covered in dust, and he was about to meet a nobleman one day, and said with three parts of complaint and three parts of sorrow: "Students are not talented, and they will not be named on the list."

Cai Hengan nodded, "It's no wonder."

He Shifei was stunned, no wonder what this is!

Didn't Cai Hengan take a fancy to his literary talent?

Jia Amnesty and the students outside couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Mr. Cai's words are really too real.

He Shifei blushed, he didn't dare to do anything to Cai Hengan and the outsiders, but he sneered at Jia She, "Brother Jia should laugh a little more now, lest he won't be able to laugh later."

Although Jia She has a good temper, he is not someone who will be trampled on by others. He chuckled and glanced at him, his eyes were cold and cold, "Don't worry about Brother He. I saw Brother He. No matter what I can laugh all the time.”

When He Shifei heard this, his face turned red with anger, and he wished even more to deprive Jia Amnesty of his merits, and it would be best to sentence him to life without taking the exam, so that he would know how good he is.

He turned around, bowed and said to Cai Hengan: "My lord, since your lord has read the pleadings, you must also think that Jia Enhou's recovery of Yuan this time is strange. Although we don't know what method he used to cheat, I think so You know, he is a playboy, he is ignorant and incompetent, how can he get Jie Yuan?"

He Shifei's words are not rough.

As soon as he said a word, countless people inside and outside the court responded.

Someone said angrily: "Isn't it? We've studied hard for many years and couldn't get on the list. Even if he really puts his heart into studying, he will have to understand Yuan within a few months. If it's not cheating, what is it?"

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he felt that it was not only sour, but also ridiculous.

Based on this alone, they conclude that they are cheating.

If they knew that there are people who are born to know in this world, wouldn't they be even more jealous and mad?

Jia She immediately retorted coldly: "Then according to your Excellency, in the future, the selection of scholars in the imperial examination should not be based on literary talent, but on the basis of the day of study? That's good, find a piece of wood for him to stare at the book After more than ten or twenty years, I must be able to be on the list, and then I can be in the same subject as you."

"Hahaha." The onlookers outside burst out laughing when they heard this.

When Zhang Heng heard this just after he came, the corners of his mouth hooked up, and his lips were as sharp as ever.

"You, you..." The man didn't expect Jia She to argue with wit and wit at this time, his face was flushed from humiliation, his face turned blue and white, white and blue again.

Jia She gave him a squinting look, and then said to He Shifei: "Brother He's words are really unheard of, and I found it strange, so I am sure that I used tricks, so I also think that Brother He's reputation as a scholar is also strange, and I think Brother He is too. The means have been used."

In terms of eloquence, ten He Shifei may not be able to speak better than Jia She.

However, Cai Hengan pulled back at this moment. He patted the gavel in a deep voice, and shouted: "Quiet, above the courtroom, is this a place for you to argue? What He Shifei said is reasonable, not to mention groundless rumors, there must be something wrong." Because, Jia Amnesty, why don't others question other people's fame, but why do they question you? It must be because you have something that makes people unconvinced."

"Exactly, what your lord said is very true. We are not jealous of Jia Xiong's fame, but we want to seek justice for scholars all over the world, and we can't let mediocre people steal and understand Yuan's fame." He Shifei said proudly.

Not far away, Cai Liang and Xu Chengsong showed smiles on their faces.

There was a cold light in Cai Liang's eyes, Xu Chengsong's trick, even if Jia Amnesty was to be justified, it would be hard to tell, if it was to make him suffer, he would not be able to tell.

So what if there is no proof?

Scholars all over the capital questioned you for cheating and questioned your fame, and this alone was enough to make Jia Amnesty get into trouble.

Moreover, the bigger the trouble, the better. The bigger the trouble, the more Jia She can't bear to go around.

Outside the yamen, Zhang Heng, dressed in casual clothes, gradually suppressed his smile.

These scholars are trouble.

He didn't expect that his act of kindness at the beginning would cause Jia Amnesty a lot of trouble.

"Master, I'm afraid Mr. Jia will suffer this time." The man in a blue robe said in a low voice.

Zhang Heng looked at Jia She, and caught a glimpse of his calm facial features, like the calm water surface in the middle of the night, not disturbed by wind or rain.

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Zhang Heng suddenly had confidence in Jia Amnesty.

Jia Enhou, what cards do you have yet to play?

"Marquis Jia En, do you have something to say?" Seeing Jia Amnesty's delay in opening his mouth, Cai Hengan felt relieved that Jia Amnesty was speechless, so he said casually.

He Shifei glanced at him, saw that he frowned in thought, seemed to have nothing to say, his eyebrows immediately lit up, as if he was letting out a bad breath.

He Shifei was about to speak to add fuel to the fire.

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty said at this moment: "My lord, the student has a way to prove the student's innocence."
