Chapter 372 Caught!
On the third day of December in the seventh year of Hongde, Ganquan Academy.

Shen Yi got up early today, bought some cakes and tea that Mr. Lu loved to eat in Jiangdu City, carried them in his hand, and came to visit the old man in the academy.

When he saw Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu was reading a policy theory in his study. When he saw Shen Yi coming in, he waved to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Ziheng came just in time. Next year, there will be another group of students from the academy who will participate in the county. Let’s try, I’ll collect the policy theory written by them today, and you, Hanlin Gong, can also help you take a look.”

Shen Yi put down the things in his hand, then smiled at Mr. Lu, and said, "Master, the county test doesn't seem to be based on policy theory?"

"It's just that you rarely take the test, and it's not like you don't take the test at all."

Master Lu smiled dumbly, and said: "Besides, even if the county test is not taken, there will be a government test and a college test later, which is always required. As long as the students of our academy go for the test, they are required to be members of the tenth high school and the seventh student. Can it stop at the county test?"

Ganquan Academy is not only the number one "renowned school" in Jiangdu, it can even be ranked in the top three in Jiankang City. The number of "advanced students" every year can steadily surpass Ganquan Academy, and I am afraid that only Guozijian is the only one.

Except for Ganquan Academy, most of the other well-known academies only recruit scholars, and they don't accept scholars below them.

For example, Fan Yu and Fan Shilang from the Fan family was a scholar in Jiangdu, and then he was picked up by an academy in Jiankang, and went to Jiankang to study, but missed Ganquan Academy.

Shen Yi took a policy theory from the teacher, glanced at it roughly, then put it aside, slightly shook his head and said: "The writing is a bit immature, and the allusions are not allowed."

Master Lu smiled and handed a red pen to Shen Yi's hand.

"Since I have read it, let me criticize it by the way. You, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Hanlin Gong, are very famous in the academy now. If you criticize articles for those juniors, maybe they will be able to work hard. In the future, you Out of the seven sons of Ganquan."

Shen Yi took the red pen and smiled wryly: "I came today to ask my teacher what etiquette there is to do before getting married. I never thought of arresting a young man for my teacher."

Master Lu laughed, and said, "Here, there is the theory of the brothers of the Yi family, so Ziheng is not interested in taking a look?"

Shen Yi found a table in the study, and while dipping his pen in the ink, he smiled and shook his head: "Little brother's studies, the students have passed the school exams in the past few days, which is very good, even better than when the students took the Juren exams, If there is no accident, it is not a problem for him to be a talent in the middle of the year, if he plays well."

Shen Yi stopped the brush in his hand, smiled at Mr. Lu, "Maybe I can earn a small three yuan for the academy."

Xiao Sanyuan is the leader of the county examination, the leader of the government examination, and the same leader of the hospital examination, No. 1 in three consecutive examinations.

"Shen Heng's article, I have read it as a teacher."

Master Lu couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said, "I have to say, his talent for reading is indeed better than yours, Ziheng, and Bo Wen has a strong memory, and the books he borrowed from Wei Shi are only one book. After two or three days of hard work, he can memorize it silently."

Speaking of this, Master Lu paused, and continued: "Shen Heng next year's scientific examination, if he can really get three grades, then let him rest for a few years and take the exam again, to compete for six grades and rank first."

While speaking, Shen Yi approved another article.

With his current knowledge, especially the knowledge on scientific examinations, correcting these students' essays is no different from high school students correcting primary school students' compositions. It can be said to be easy and freehand. After hearing Master Lu's words, he stopped writing. , with a dumb smile.

"It has been 200 years since Da Chen Liguo, and he has never been awarded the sixth yuan and the first, and there is only one third yuan and the first, and the master thinks too far."

"Thinking about it is never a bad thing."

Master Lu couldn't help stroking the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "But with Shen Heng's talent, it should not be difficult to become a Jinshi. If you fail the next subject, you will definitely pass the next subject. When the Shen family It is also a good story to have a double Jinshi."

Shen Hanlin stopped writing again, and said with a smile: "After Shen Heng is selected as a student, if the mentor does not dislike him, he will also be accepted as an apprentice. With the guidance of the mentor, he can be more sure of being a Jinshi."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Master Lu's expression moved slightly.

To be honest, Shen Heng's talent can no longer be described as a reading seed, but can be regarded as a child prodigy.

If it is said that Shen Yi was a bit lucky in the process of entering school, then Shen Heng will definitely step on it step by step in the future. Being able to accept such a promising disciple is undoubtedly a great attraction for Master Lu .

Just as Mr. Lu was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of his study with a slight haste.

Then, a voice came from the door.

It was Zhang Jian's voice.

"Uncle, is Ziheng here!"

Shen Yi stopped the brush in his hand, and exchanged a glance with Master Lu, the master and apprentice frowned in unison, and there was some strangeness in each other's eyes.

Shen Yi put the brush on the pen holder, then walked to the door of the room, looked at Zhang Xianzun who was in plain clothes at the door, Shen Yi pulled him into the room, and asked, "Senior brother, what's the matter?"

"square…"

After Zhang Jian took a breath, she first turned her head and cupped her hands to Master Lu, then looked at Shen Yi again, and said, "Just now, Zhang Yushi from Yushitai was discussing the case of Chen Qing with Brother Wei at the county government office. ..."

Zhang Xianzun swallowed, his expression became serious.

"Jiankang came and took him away..."

Shen Yi immediately frowned.

He looked at Zhang Jian, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't he the supervisory censor? Which yamen took him?"

"do not know…"

Zhang Jian had recovered his breath at this moment, he said slowly: "It should be an official from the Ministry of Officials, leading soldiers from the Jiankang Mansion..."

Shen Yi sighed and asked, "What's the reason?"

"corruption."

Zhang Jian said with a wry smile: "This Zhang Fu, in the past few years as a supervisory censor, has not lost the filial piety of the local officials, but he has not taken too much, and has never been discovered. I don't know who was sued a few days ago. Yes, I was investigated to the bottom..."

"Yu Shitai immediately dismissed his position and reported it to the court for handling. Now at least he will be dismissed from office. It is estimated that his family property will be charged to the national treasury..."

"The most terrible thing is."

Zhang Jian glanced at Shen Yi, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The most important thing is that he has already pushed for the retrial of Chen Qing's case in Jiangdu these days, and in two days, the county government will collect a lot of evidence Eighth, the trial can be re-opened, and at this moment..."

"Zhang Fu was arrested suddenly, the case of Chen Qing was unsustainable, and..."

Zhang Jian lowered her eyebrows and said: "Because of Zhang Fu's matter, the government may also be affected. If the government does not agree to a retrial, then the brother's county government will not have the right to continue the trial..."

Zhang Xianzun said in a low voice: "After all, this is a closed case..."

Shen Yi stood where he was, looked at Jiankang, frowned and said, "But, isn't Shilang Fan already collapsed? In the capital, who else would do things for the Fan family so sincerely?"

"It may be Fan Chu's old department, or it may be Fan Chu's successor. In short..."

"It's something we didn't think about beforehand."

Zhang Xianzun sighed slightly.

"Ziheng, what should we do now, this matter..."

"Shouldn't you take it easy?"
