Qing Chuan Rebirth: Seeing You Every Year

Chapter 71 Scientific Examination Fraud Case ([-])

Shu Yi thought for a long time and sighed: "This disease is difficult to cure!"

Yinti said: "It's not impossible. There is a genius doctor in the south of the Yangtze River named Ye Tianshi, who likes to treat these difficult and strange diseases."

"In Jiangnan, let Li Wei invite you!"

"This kind of strange people often have weird personalities. If they hadn't bowed down to invite them, they might not have shown them."

Shu Yi nodded: "That's right, but Lord Thirteen is seriously ill now, so it's inconvenient to leave."

"Next year it will be spring, maybe we will have a chance to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and we will talk about it then."

"You have become a fortune teller now, how do you know that you have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan next year?"

A gust of cold wind blew, cold air entered his throat, Yinti coughed lightly twice, and said, "Do you still remember the imperial examination fraud case in Suzhou?"

Of course Shu Yi knew.

In the 50th year of Kangxi, the notorious scientific examination fraud case occurred in the Qing Dynasty, which was known as the Xinmao Kechang case in history.The incident took place in Suzhou. When the list was released, many well-known scholars failed the list, but the sons of businessmen were on the list.

Shu Yi asked: "Are you going to investigate this case?"

Yinti smiled, held her hand and said slowly: "Let's go together."

In the late spring of the 50th year of Kangxi, the willow catkins were flying and the sky was bright.

Shu Yi and Yinti stood at the gate of the Gong Yuan, seeing the examinees change the word "Gong Yuan" on the plaque to "sold out", Shu Yi joked: "The plaque has been changed, and it is time to change a couplet. yes."

A thin student came over and bowed and asked, "Then according to my dear friend, what kind of couplet should I write?"

Shu Yi pondered for a while: "Why don't you just write 'Zuo Qiuming has no pearls in his eyes, Zhao Zilong is full of courage', how about it?"

After hearing this couplet, the students who failed the rankings and rioted burst into laughter and called out "Miaozai Miaozai".

In fact, Shu Yi saw this couplet in a history book, and he didn't know the original author's name. The examiners of this township examination were Zuo Bifan and Zhao Jin. This couplet is full of irony, and it also matches this The hearts of the group of students were filled with righteous indignation.

At this time, several students came forward and asked Shu Yi's name.

Shu Yi made a bow and said, "Student Wang Yuan, from Changzhou."

Everyone introduced themselves one by one, and one of them named Peng Qifeng sighed: "This couplet is there, but no one dares to write it!"

Yinti standing behind Shu Yi said, "Let me write it!"

Everyone looked at Yinti again, Peng Qifeng asked: "Who is this?"

Shu Yi glanced back at Yinti, and replied, "This is my elder brother!"

Everyone bowed to each other: "It turns out that you are also a prince, and it is a pleasure to meet you!"

Yinti walked to the gate of the Gongyuan, and was about to draw a pen, when someone persuaded him: "Governor of Liangjiang, Gali, is arresting the troublemakers, isn't he afraid of being imprisoned for doing this?"

"Even the imperial examinations dare to cheat for personal gain. I only write a couplet, and I can't be killed!" After finishing speaking, Yinti's two lines of chic and elegant running script were completed, and the applause was endless.

At this time, someone shouted from behind: "The Yacha is here, run!"

All the people scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only a few people around the gate of the tribute courtyard, surrounded by government officials.

An official dressed in an official uniform and wearing a flower feather came out from behind the Yachai, looked at the big belly, and shouted at the crowd with a fierce face: "Have you group of ignorant students never seen what happened to the people who were arrested before? How dare you come to the Gongyuan to make a fuss, you really can’t see the coffin without crying!"

Seeing the tense situation, Shu Yi hurriedly asked Peng Qifeng beside him: "Who is this person?"

He gritted his teeth and introduced: "He is the current governor of Liangjiang, Ga Li, and he is the same as those two examiners. Recently, many students who caused trouble have been arrested, and they have all been beaten forty times for false accusations. Let it out."

Shu Yi shook her head: "What a stupid official, the crowd is so excited, he actually wants to use pressure to settle this matter!"

At this time, Peng Qifeng said loudly: "Lord Gali, the Suzhou Mansion, which is full of talents, has such scandals as fraud, you don't want to play the top performance, and you still want to arrest us Qingliu scholars?"

Gali laughed and said: "What kind of cheating, what kind of scandal, I think you made it up!" He gave an order: "Put all these students who made troubles in the prison, let them have a long memory!"

Shu Yi leaned into Yinti's ear and asked: "What should we do, we are afraid that we are really going to go to prison!"

Yinti held her hand and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, wait a little longer, if you can't wait, I will take you out."

Shu Yi didn't know anything and went in: "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for someone."

Peng Qifeng was pressed to the ground by the yamen, and he said angrily: "It used to be said that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', but since I changed the dynasty, scholars are not as good as this merchant. May see!"

Ga Li sneered and said: "Could it be that you, a little scholar, still want to change the dynasty!" After saying that, he kicked Peng Qifeng in the chest. Spit blood.

Everyone was silent, and there was no other movement.

At this moment, an official guard of honor came from a distance, and Gali said to a servant next to him, "Go and find out who it is!"

In a moment, an old man with gray beard came down from the official sedan chair, and he walked up to Ga Li: "The next official, Zhang Yiran, is ordered by the current majesty to come and thoroughly investigate the fraud case in the scientific examination!"

Gali had a flattering face, but he was not afraid in his heart. This person is just a servant of the household department, so what about the imperial envoy, his position is still not as good as his own.He pretended to bow and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Zhang. The next official, Governor of Liangjiang, Ga Li, is not far away."

Zhang Yiran returned the salute: "Your Majesty Gali, you are being polite. I don't know what these students have committed. Are they going to be escorted?"

Gali waved his hands and said fearlessly, "They're just ignorant scholars spreading rumors in the streets."

Zhang Yiran saluted and said: "This official is new here, and I would like to make a merciless request to Lord Gali, please let these students go first, let the official investigate carefully, and then make a long-term plan."

Ga Li smiled apologetically, and said to the crowd: "Today, for the sake of the imperial envoy, I will let you go. It's best to go back and be safe. If something happens again, no one can protect you!"

Zhang Yiran said to the crowd: "Now the Holy Spirit has specially sent officials to thoroughly investigate the whole story of cheating in the scientific examination. If there is a reason for it, I will do my best and will not tolerate it! All students, please go back and wait for the good news."

After everyone left, Shu Yi straightened his clothes and said, "So he's the one you're waiting for, and this gentleman looks sober!"

Yinti said: "He recognized me, so he has to pretend to be clear!"

Shu Yi sighed: "We were exposed so quickly, so what's the point of investigating. However, since the emperor has appointed someone from the household department, why do you want to investigate?"

"Although this imperial envoy was ordered by the emperor, his official position is not as high as that of the emperor. Huang Ama was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this group of local snakes, and the investigation would not be clear in the end, so he sent me as an undercover envoy."

Shu Yi nodded and said: "So that's the case, then where should we two secret agents go to investigate next?"

"Let's go and find out if those top performers in the rural examination have real talents."

"How to explore, slip the door and pick the lock, and climb over the wall to enter the room?"

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Yinti said meaningfully: "A man of flair is at ease!"

Shu Yi thought about it, and asked disgustedly: "You don't want to go to a brothel, do you?"
