Chapter 207 The First Shot of Public Opinion

It takes about a month for the rankings to be released in the Dachen Township Examination, and the time for marking the examination papers is about 20 days. If it is faster, it will be over in half a month.

During this period of time, the graders of the township examination are divided into outer curtain and inner curtain. The inner curtain judges are usually the head of the academy five hundred miles away, such as Mr. Lu, who is often invited by the chief examiner of the township examination in the neighboring province. Examiner.

Ordinary candidates, while waiting for the results of the provincial examination, will relax appropriately, such as going to the Qinhuai River to have a good time, or meeting a few friends, going out to visit the mountains and rivers together, or visiting relatives and friends, but Shen After only two or three days of leisure, the court's newly built newspaper office came to the door.

Ask him for the manuscript of the seventh issue of Dibao.

To be honest, up to now, Shen Yi has written manuscripts for the palace for almost half a year. In the past six months, except for the two little girls who were rewarded by the emperor in the first phase, the palace has not given a penny later. The manuscript fee is paid, purely for nothing.

But being prostituted by the emperor is not a bad thing.

If the emperor paid wages, it would be done with the money, and there would be no affection left, and if the emperor worked for nothing, not to mention getting acquainted with the emperor, at least getting acquainted with the name, which is very important for the future. All are beneficial.

Shen Yi wrote manuscripts for the mansion newspaper. Except for the first issue, which he played at will, the other several issues were written according to the materials sent by the palace. Many of them were directly sent by the inner guards, and then Shen Yi polished them and wrote them. Manuscript.

In other words, Shen Yi can only grasp the details of what to write in the mansion newspaper, and cannot make it up by himself.

In the seventh issue of the mansion newspaper materials provided by the mansion newspaper department to Shen Yi, it tells about a young man surnamed Chen from Jiankang, who is doing mischief in Jiankang.

He ran amok and robbed women from the people.

These Jiankang yamen are not short of money, nor are they short of women. The reason why they still mess around is probably because ordinary women are tired of playing, so they look for excitement.

After reading these materials, Shen Yi frowned slightly, then looked at the name of the young man surnamed Chen, and repeated it in a low voice: "Chen Shang..."

This incident made Shen Yi feel a little weird.

Because in the previous six issues of Di Bao, most of the content was to promote the imperial court, or to tell some anecdotes and strange things, or to talk about how evil the Qi people were, and never mentioned how any Chen Guo people did evil.

There is not even a mention of court official corruption.

Ever since, Shen Yi became interested in this Chen Shang. He left aside the materials about this Mr. Chen, and did not touch it for the time being. I went to Zhao Changping's residence.

It's not Zhao Shilang, but Zhao Jizhou.

After the Zhao family found Zhao Er, Shen Yi exchanged a few words with him first, and the two sat and chatted together. After chatting for a few words, Shen Yi looked at Zhao Jizhou and said with a smile: "Senior brother, little brother two days ago I heard about a young son named Chen Shang who is quite famous in Jiankang, do you recognize him?"

"Chen Shang?"

Zhao Er bowed his head and thought for a while, then scratched his head: "There are quite a few people surnamed Chen in Jiankang City, which Shang are you talking about?"

Shen Yi's expression was calm: "Shang Shu's Shang."

Zhao Eryi patted his head and suddenly said: "I remember, the Chen family who lives near Xishi Street has Chen Shang in his family."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jizhou said with a smile: "I have only met this guy two or three times, but I heard that he is not very good, and he likes to bully little girls."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "How did Qilang know him?"

"It's not considered acquaintance."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I just heard that this person's family is quite powerful, and no one dares to provoke him in Jiankang. I don't know if it is true, so I came to ask my brother for advice."

"No one dares to provoke?"

Zhao Jizhou snorted disdainfully, and said: "His grandfather was a servant of the Ministry of Officials in the early years, and he did have some influence in the court, but the old servant wrote a letter to become an official more than ten years ago, and even now the hot tea is still cold The Chen family has no successors, he..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Er's voice became softer, and he hummed: "This Chen Shang, if he relied on his family's influence, he might not even dare to show his anger in Jiankang City now, but his fate is good, and his father's family is unreliable. There is a mother family, not only a good father, but also a good mother, so until now I can still have a bit of air."

Shen Yi blinked and asked, "Brother, who is his mother?"

"My surname is Yang."

Zhao Jizhou glanced at Shen Yi, and said, "Yang is the biggest in Jiankang City."

Hearing this, Shen Yi finally understood.

The co-author is Yang Jingzong's grandson!
In fact, this matter itself is not difficult to understand, as long as you are from Jiankang, you can see the key points at a glance, but Shen Yi is not from Jiankang, and he is not familiar with Jiankang, so he needs to ask Zhao Er .

After asking about this matter, the meaning of the palace is very obvious.

That is to put ashes on Lao Yang's face.

Writing this kind of manuscript is risky. After all, Yang Xiangguo has been in charge of the government for so many years. God knows how many eyes and ears he has in the court, and how many eyes and ears of the court there are in the palace. I don't think this newly built residence newspaper department will be so watertight.

Although Yang Jingzong has shown signs of decline in the court, he has to admit that the old man's influence is still very large. Now Shen Yi is going to fire the first shot of public opinion for the emperor. In the future, the little emperor will successfully eliminate Yang Jingzong and his party members Fortunately, if the little emperor wasn't old man Yang's opponent, then Shen Yi might be pushed out and take the blame for the emperor.

Seeing Shen Yi standing in front of him in deep thought, Zhao Jizhou stretched out his hand and scratched his head, then smiled at Shen Yi: "Qilang just said that he came to buy a drink for brother, why is he standing here still? Before father comes back , let's go out quickly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out if it is later!"

Shen Yi stood at the same spot, and smiled at Zhao Jizhou with some embarrassment: "Brother, I really came here today to invite you to drink, but my brother suddenly has something, and I have to report it to Master Zhao face to face. I'm afraid I can't come out today." went."

Zhao Er rolled his eyes, his face full of suspicion: "Could it be that Qilang wanted to tell his father that I went to cheer for Miss Gu a few days ago?"

"Brother, where do you want to go?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and smiled dumbly: "I didn't go to Qinhuai River that day, and I don't know about senior brother in Chunyi Building."

Only then did Zhao Er nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Brother can feel at ease in this way. Speaking of which, after you left Qilang that day, Brother Wei had a few words with Miss Gu, and the chat was quite speculative. If it's a little bit worse, as a brother, you can become Miss Gu's guest in the curtain!"

This time, Shen Yi frowned.

He looked at Zhao Jizhou and asked suspiciously: "Didn't senior brother use me to talk to Miss Gu?"

"how come?"

Zhao Er's eyes widened, as if he had been wronged by the sky, his chest slapped loudly, and he shouted: "You underestimate Brother Wei too much, how can it be possible that Brother Wei has been in Jiankang for so many years? ..."

He hadn't finished his sentence when he heard the voice of Zhao's Jia Ding in the front yard.

"Master is back home!"

Only then did Zhao Er cough, stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yi's sleeve, and said with a smile: "We'll talk about our brothers later, let's go meet father together."
