The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Guanyinbao raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Tong Anbo, who seemed to have no intentions, was still guarding against him. "Master, when we go to Jiangning, do we need to look for them? Tong Anbo gave me some books. If we look for them, we can use this as an excuse."

When Guanyinbao came back from Yinfeng, he met Tong Anbo. Tong Anbo said that he had to take the scientific examination and had no time to teach him, but he gave him a few books.He casually opened it and glanced at it, and it turned out to be "Four Books and Five Classics".The most important books of this kind of imperial examinations, Bofu does not know how many, and Guanyinbao also started to learn from an early age.He found that the few books Tong Anbo gave him were very different, and every sentence in them was annotated.

The font is majestic and majestic, looking at the characters and people, those few books don't look like Tong Anbo's property at first glance.And Tong Anbo read these books in a strange way, like nostalgia, hatred, and sadness.

He wanted to tell the prince about this, but he was so fascinated by it that he forgot.

"No, just let people pay attention to their safety, and remember to let them take the scientific examination smoothly." He always felt that it would be interesting if these two people participated in the scientific examination.As well as Cao Zhengde and the other three, Sun Youcai dared to conceive of his concubine as a coward. If it wasn't for the fact that he shouldn't cause more trouble now, he would have made him look good a long time ago.

These three people have long been on his blacklist, and Yinfeng plans to deal with them after investigating Jiang Ning's matter.

"Hey, Brother Jin, what a coincidence, Brother Jin came to see the list." As soon as the tea shop left, Cao Zhengde wanted to see Yinfeng again, but Yinfeng was relatively low-key, he didn't see anyone after several visits, This made him very depressed.

Regardless of Cao Zhengde's nice words, in fact, his family and Cao Yin's family have already made five suits, and they don't have much contact with each other.The main reason is that Cao Yin is now in favor, and there are countless people fawning on him, Cao Zhengde is nothing at all.

His original plan was to use Jin Baocheng to establish a relationship with Cao Yin.Cao Yin likes to make friends with literati and scholars, and Jin Baocheng is better than him in conversation and learning, so he just agrees with Cao Yin's request to make friends with celebrities.If it's just him, even if he goes to the Cao mansion in the name of a member of the Cao clan, he may not be able to meet Mr. Cao.

But Jin Baocheng didn't know what was going on. There was indeed such a person living in the 'Penglai Inn', but every time he went there, by chance, Jin Baocheng was either absent, busy, or sick.For the past half month, not to mention Jin Baocheng, even that annoying Guanyin will keep them in shame.

Cao Zhengde is also arrogant. He made it clear that he didn't want to make friends with him, so he wouldn't put a hot face on other people's cold ass.How did he know that he wasn't going to date the other party anymore, and he would see these two again on the day when the rankings were announced.

Thinking about what happened to him before, he said in a strange way: "Hey, I didn't perform well this time and only got the tenth place. Talents like Brother Jin should be at the top of the list."

After he said this, the people around him looked sideways frequently, and a talented person whom he didn't know said directly: "The top of the list is clearly surnamed Li, you are so blind that you can see it as a golden word."

Yinfeng didn't squeeze in either, he wasn't a student of Jiangnan at all, so it was impossible for him to be on the list.It's just that people like Cao Zhengde can get the tenth place, so he is more curious about the ranking of Chen Xiujie and the others.

The famous Zhuangyuan building in the south of the Yangtze River, Yinfeng has been nesting there these days.Most of the candidates this year will go to the Zhuangyuan Building to have a drink after the exam, and they will talk about the articles they wrote.Cao Zhengde has never met him, but he has met Cao Zhengde, and he knows how Cao Zhengde's articles are.

Frankly speaking, Cao Zhengde's essays are very mediocre, and it is not surprising that he was admitted to Yinreng. Whoever made Cao Yin weaving in Jiangning, the examiner will always give the Cao family face.Can be tenth?

Yinfeng sneered, there might be a lot of tricks in it.

"Brother Cao, just like what this student said, you have used your eyes too much for the scientific exam recently." He put his hand on his lips and coughed a few times, "To be honest, I felt unwell a few days before the exam and missed the government exam."

That student chuckled again inappropriately, Cao Zhengde's face was very ugly.Sun Youcai tugged at his clothes, "That's such a pity, since we were lucky enough to meet each other, would Brother Jin want to have a drink together?"

Just as Yinreng was about to answer, Guanyinbao came out from inside, and he shook his head at Yinreng with a sullen face.Yinfeng's face darkened, and he asked Guanyinbao to see the rankings of Chen Xiujie and Tong Anbai, but he didn't expect them to fail.

He has also read the Four Books and Five Classics written by Tong Anbo to Guanyinbao. If the two of them have read this book, it is absolutely impossible for them to fail the ranking.

But the two of them failed.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Brother Sun, I'm not in good health yet, let's wait another day. I don't know when you will leave, but if it's convenient for you, Jin will definitely do it for the two of you."

Sun Youcai wanted to say something, but was held back by Cao Zheng. He could only say goodbye to Yinrong with a smirk.

Yinfeng looked at the backs of several people with dull eyes, stretched out his fingers, and several people came to his side, "Go and follow them, and see where they went and what they said. Go and take Chen Xiujie Please come to the inn with Tong Anbo." Even though there is such a good template in hand, the two of them actually failed the list, Yinfeng couldn't figure it out.

Since he didn't understand, he decided to ask the two of them himself.

The two groups set off together, and the people who went to ask Chen Xiujie to come back first.

Tong Anbo's eyes were reddish, it could be seen that he had just cried.Although Chen Xiujie didn't cry, he seemed to know that he was in a bad mood. He cheered up and looked at Yinfeng, "Young master, I don't know what you mean by sending someone to invite us here. However, it doesn't matter what it is for, my two There is nothing in man that you imagine."

"Oh?" Yinfeng became interested, and he pointed to the chair beside him, motioning for the two to sit down and talk. "How do you know that you don't have what I'm plotting." Without waiting for the two of them to answer, he still put the book in his hand on the table, "I read the book you gave to my brother, and I have a question in my mind. Confused?"

He was talking about the two of them, but actually he was looking at Chen Xiujie.

Chen Xiujie sat closer, saw the books on the table, and shrank his fingers.He smiled wryly, "There's nothing we can't say now. Whatever you want to ask, as long as we know, we can tell you."

"Brother-in-law." Tong Anbo shouted in surprise.He didn't understand how his attitude had changed since he said before that he would be on guard against their brother-in-law.Just like just now, those two people only said, 'Young Master Jin sent us to find you two', and the brother-in-law packed up his things and followed without saying a word.

Reaching out to pat Tong Anbo, he could see the meaning in Tong Anbo's eyes.

why?

Of course, he thought the Cao family was too simple, and he and Tong Anbai alone could not avenge the Chen Tong family.He also said before that Tong Anbo must stand upright in life, but now he may break this rule himself, Chen Xiujie feels uncomfortable.

I reached out and clicked on the book on the table, "The two of you should be familiar with this book, I'm curious, since you two have this good book, why did you fail the government examination this time?"

Speaking of this government test, Chen Xiujie's face was ugly, and Tong Anbo shouted angrily, "You think we are willing, you are not an old dog Cao thief."

"Amber." Chen Xiujie called out calmly.

Is this really hidden?Yinfeng and Guanyinbao looked at each other, and Guanyinbao crossed his arms, "My brother-in-law is kind, if you really have grievances, maybe we can help you if you tell them. Of course, if you are willing to hide it, we don't care."

"Brother-in-law." Tong Anbo looked at Chen Xiujie.

Chen Xiujie took a deep breath, he didn't answer immediately, but asked Yinfeng a question, "Can you tell me, can you have something to do with Jiangning Weaving? If, if I say that you have something to do with Jiangning Weaving at this time, can you really Do justice for us?"

"This is natural. If you really have grievances, I will naturally decide for you."

Yinfeng didn't answer his first question, but Chen Xiujie already knew the answer from his answer.

"Then, who are you guys? Don't talk about the students taking the imperial examination. This is just to fool Amber, it's useless to me."

"How do you know we're not students? What's the evidence?" Guanyinbao didn't expect Chen Xiujie to be able to tell that they weren't students, obviously he thought he acted like that.

Chen Xiujie twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a pale smile, "I am a student myself, so I naturally know the importance of the imperial examination. Don't say it's just sick, even if you use crawling, for a student, you will crawl to the examination room."

Apparently, he heard Yinreng's lies to Cao Zhengde.It is a once-in-three-year opportunity, and some people don't know how many times they have to wait for this opportunity. Although he is not a doctor, he can see that it is impossible for Yinfeng's health to be so poor that he cannot take the exam.

"Papa papa," Yinreng applauded Chen Xiujie, with admiration in his eyes, "Young master Chen is really smart. Yes, I am indeed not a student rushing for the exam. I am the imperial envoy specially sent by the current emperor to thoroughly investigate the fraud case in Jiangnan."

Chen Xiujie was stunned for a moment, then dragged Tong Anbai to his knees, "Chen Xiujie, a grassroots man, has met His Highness, His Highness is thousands of years old."

"How do you know this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Chen Xiujie raised his head in shock, and it turned out to be His Highness the Crown Prince. He only guessed from his surname that this was His Highness who came from the palace, but he did not expect it to be the Crown Prince.

Avalokitesvara wanted to give himself a mouthful, it seemed that he hadn't even guessed that this was the prince.

Yinfeng stretched out his hand and lifted it up, "Get up, you can talk about your grievances now."

Chen Xiujie just stood up, and when he heard this, he kowtowed to Yinrong several times, and the kowtow gave Guanyin a headache for them.

"Grassman Chen Xiujie, this is my brother-in-law Tong Anbai. His eldest brother is Tong Ansong, the chief of the case three years ago. Three years ago, Tong Ansong won the No. 1 case. They sent people to invite them, and others said that with Master Cao's support, Tong Ansong's success in the future is just around the corner."

"But who knows," Chen Xiujie gritted his teeth, the resentment in his eyes could no longer be hidden, "Who knew that after the banquet, Mr. Cao insisted that Tong Ansong's No.1 was fake, that he changed someone else's test paper."

He looked up at Yinfeng, "His Royal Highness also read those books, and all the annotations on the books were written by Tong Ansong himself. Why would someone like him cheat. What's more, the person who cheated before The reputation is not great, and the county test is at the end."

"You may not believe it, but because that person is Cao Yin's nephew, everyone said it was Tong Ansong's fault."

"My brother-in-law is young and energetic, so he is naturally unwilling to suffer such an injustice. How do you know that the officials protect each other? In the end, he not only failed to seek justice for himself, but was beaten to death."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiujie had tears in his eyes, and Tong Anbo behind him was in even more pain and couldn't control himself.

"When a person dies, justice has not been recovered, and such a reputation has been passed back to my hometown. My parents-in-law's family was shocked by the bad news and couldn't afford it. Later, the local county magistrate suppressed my Chen Tong family a lot in order to please Cao Gou. If it wasn't for me He and Amber have passed the county examination before, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain meritorious service."

"The government examination is held every year. In the first two times, people kept staring at us. It was difficult for us to get out of the county. This year, there are more students. The two of us dressed up as beggars and sneaked out ahead of time. That's why we came here." Go to Jiangning." Fortunately, everyone who passed the county test has a record, and the Cao family did not go crazy enough to kill the Chen Tong family and let them take advantage of the loophole.

However, they were still too naive, and they failed the government examination.

If the skills were not as good as others, Chen Xiujie would not say anything, but the inn they stayed in also had many students living in it, and what they talked about most was an article by a scholar surnamed Li.At the beginning, Chen Xiujie still had a learning attitude and wanted to see the gap between himself and others, but the more he listened to it, the more familiar it became.

That article was clearly made by myself.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask questions. Caomin is willing to take the exam again with the chief of the Li family."

Yinfeng propped his chin and looked at Chen Xiujie thoughtfully.According to Chen Xiujie's intentions, Cao Yin put other people's articles on his own family for three years, and now three years later, he repeated the same trick and put Chen Xiujie's articles on a scholar with luggage.

But, "Do you know why Gu came to Jiangning." He reached out and fiddled with the tea cover, as if this did not calm himself, he simply threw it down again. "Cao Yinmi reported to the emperor that some people in the Jiangnan examination center practiced favoritism and cheated. He even covered several students who had wronged him and went to the capital to sue the imperial court."

"This is impossible." Tong Anbo yelled loudly, and then he remembered that the person in front of him was the present prince, and it seemed wrong for him to do so, so he lowered his head again, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.

Although Chen Xiujie didn't speak, there was a meaning in his eyes.

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Yinfeng continued: "Last year, the emperor sent an imperial envoy to Jiangning to investigate fraud in the imperial examination, did you know?"

Chen Xiujie didn't even know about this. Last year they were still thinking about how they could avoid Cao thief's minions.

"The imperial envoy reported back that the Jiangnan examination room was peaceful, and there was no cheating. It was because those candidates were unlucky and failed to pass the examination, and they started to make a fuss. Mr. Cao cares about the people and loves the people like his own son, and he saw that the group of people said that they were very logical. , that’s why he was willing to help them. In fact, Mr. Cao didn’t know about this matter, he just cherished talented people.”

Yinfeng repeated what the imperial envoy said, with a slight sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness."

Yinfeng raised his hand, and he looked at the two kneeling people, "It's only been three or four days since the scientific examination, I guess you will be able to silently write the article at that time. Why don't you just keep silent and ask someone to take the original question Come over for comparison. How?"

Chen Xiujie didn't know whether the prince believed them or not, but at this moment they had no other choice.Fortunately, the memory of the two is not bad, even if they can't guarantee that they are all the same, they can remember everything.

After taking their article, Yinreng gave it to Guanyinbao after reading it. Guanyinbao nodded to Yinreng, and then took the people out.

Yinfeng looked at Chen Xiujie and comforted him: "Don't worry, since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, if Tong Ansong really has grievances, no matter who that person is, he will definitely give you an explanation."

What is Cao Yin? To put it bluntly, he is just a slave.He knows Khan Ama, even if Khan Ama has feelings for Sun and Wen, once his bottom line is touched, it means that he can turn his face if he turns his face.

Fraud in the imperial examination is not a trivial matter, just like Khan Ama said before coming here, if they are really allowed to manipulate the imperial examination, they can let whoever they want to pass, how is it different from the emperor?

Chen Xiujie and Tong Anbo breathed a sigh of relief. They had heard about the current Shengming, and they had planned to sue the imperial court, but the county magistrate kept a close eye on them, so they couldn't go out at all.

"Your Highness, Caomin and Caomin's brother-in-law escaped secretly. If the county magistrate finds out that we sneaked away, it will definitely be detrimental to our family. Can Caomin ask His Highness to send someone to protect Caomin's sister, who is the only one in Caomin's family now " His parents couldn't afford to be ill because of the elder brother's affairs, and the county magistrate was also cruel, afraid that they would plot against others, and would not even let him invite a doctor.Parents have no choice but to suffer through life and death like this.

If the county magistrate finds out that he and his brother-in-law are gone, what will happen to the sister and others who stayed in their hometown.

"It's a small matter." Yinfeng then gave some instructions, asked them their address, and asked someone to pick up Chen Tongshi and others.

No one had a rest that night, everyone was waiting for news from Guanyinbao.

In the middle of the night, Guanyinbao finally came back, with a serious expression on his face, "Your Highness, this servant has brought back all the top ten candidates in this government examination. Guess what this servant found." He looked at Chen Xiujie and Tong Anbo with some sympathy. Only Chen Xiujie, even Tong Anbai's answer sheet was 10 points similar to that of No.[-] Cao Zhengde.

Yinfeng picked out the answer sheets of the two and still stood in front of them, "Let's have a look."

The more you look at the two, the more shocked you are.Tong Anbo has just turned fifteen, and his grades are actually good. Three years ago, the teacher at the college thought he was too young and wanted to suppress his temper, so he didn't let him take the exam with his brother.Originally, when he failed the ranking this time, he thought it was because he had only focused on "fighting wits and courage" with the county magistrate for the past two years, but it turned out that he was also replaced by someone else.

Kneeling down with a plop, Tong Anbo said: "Your Highness, I swear, this is really done by this servant." Although the handwriting on it is not his, but the content of the article is so familiar to him that he can't forget it even if he wants to.

"Put it back." Yinfeng already knew what was going on, and was just waiting for the final investigation.

He couldn't think that someone would take the bait in three days.
