The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1046 Guess

"What did you say?!" Chu Zhi felt a sudden thunderbolt in her mind, causing her soul to surge. She couldn't control it and almost threw herself towards Sheng Yuan.

The two guards who were watching her closely saw the opportunity and immediately grabbed her shoulders and pressed down.

But Chu Zhi was too excited. If they hadn't taken action or used all their strength, they might have had to break free.

"What did you say?! What do you mean, can I confirm that their honors are gone?! Is it possible that the matter announced by the prefecture's imperial edict in person...is still false?" Chu Zhi's face turned red with excitement, and the veins on his forehead appeared. Appeared.

Seeing her like this, Sheng Yuan sighed softly: "I don't know the specific reason for the matter, but you have to know that although a scholar is incomparable to a scholar, a tribute scholar, or a Jinshi, it is also a real honor. .

As scholars, they not only refused to kneel before officials, but also enjoyed many preferential treatment from the court. This is enough to show that they are qualified to join the gentry class!

How can such a group's reputation be canceled just by a state's edict? Even if the governor executes the execution first and then reports it, he must report it to the Ministry of Rites and explain the whole story afterwards.

Only after confirmation and approval by the Ministry of Rites can the decision to cancel the honors take effect... Think about it, whoever hears that Jing'an, the capital of the state, has canceled the honors of fifty-six scholars in one go, will they turn a blind eye? "

Sheng Yuan paused and did not continue to elaborate on this issue. Instead, he asked her: "Of those fifty-six scholars, how many are still in the South?"

Chu Zhi's empty eyes suddenly moved, and her slightly dry lips pursed. It seemed that every fine line was screaming her unwillingness, doubts and hesitation. After a long while, she whispered in a frustrated voice. : "After that time, many people left. Some said they wanted to see through the world, live in leisurely love with the mountains and rivers, and forget the troubles of the world; some said they wanted to leave this unfair state and seek life outside. ; Others wanted to abandon paper and pen and go to the Western Regions to do business... In the end, except for the two girls and the husband who committed suicide because of the rumors, only six people stayed in their original places. " "Now these six people are still in Zezhou. Mansion?" Sheng Yuan motioned to Anyu to help record it, "Tell me your name, surname and address, and I'll ask someone to check."

When Chu Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened: "Of these six people, three women and three men, two became monks and wandered around, and two others died in depression; only two of them got married successfully, one died in childbirth, and the other died in childbirth. Died due to abuse by her husband’s family.”

"..." Even Anyu could tell something was wrong this time.

Seeing that she didn't want to mention anything more, Sheng Yuan's suspicious character came online: "Tell me all the information you know about them, as well as the other five girls who left the Southland. If you know anything about them, tell me." It’s my business to discern, there’s no need for Miss Chu to worry about it.”

Chu Zhi covered his eyes and whispered the information in his memory.

She originally thought that the memories that had long since turned into smoke would be consumed by the fireworks of the world day after day, but unexpectedly, she did not spend any effort to remember everything, every detail, clearly...including her sister's. An unwilling and aggrieved face.

"I asked Chengdong to arrange for someone to go check it out now." Anyu's head turned quickly. He had already connected this matter with the hidden forces in Zezhou Prefecture, and following the structure, he figured out the whole thing. script.

"..." Sheng Yuan took one look at his imaginative face and knew what he was thinking.

Although his performance is not very professional, his innocence is worthy of praise.
