The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 74 Riot

"Xiao Qi, don't panic, tell me in detail."

"Officials, after the results were released today, all the candidates went to the gate of the Gong Yuan to check the results. After about two quarters, some people began to attack the unfairness of the exam in front of the list. It turned into an economic theory, and there must be something strange in it. At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so people making noises, and it didn’t take long for the candidates who were not named on the list to follow suit, clamoring for an explanation from the court, and there was chaos in front of the gate of the Gongyuan , Later, the Lin'an government sent a large number of servants to maintain order. For some reason, the two sides had a quarrel, and then they started fighting. Those servants even detained several people. There was a stalemate."

Wen Tianxiang and I looked at each other and said: "Song Rui, you take the three of you to the banquet in Qiongyuan. Xiaoqi, call Mr. Shang, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes, I'm going to Qiongyuan now."

"Wait, tell He Ji Ma Tingluan to go to the Gongyuan immediately."

Seeing that I had changed my clothes, Xiaoqi said, "Officials, do you want to call Lan Yu and the others?"

"Let's go, no need, I'm not going to fight."

The crowd in front of the gate of the Gongyuan has not yet dispersed, and a large number of yamen servants stand at the gate and confront the examinees.Yuan Ji Xiaoqi and I were caught in the crowd of onlookers, looking towards the door.

Weng Yinglong, the deputy chief examiner, stood in front and shouted loudly to the candidates: "Students, the questions in the previous imperial examinations were hand-picked by the emperor. We need ZTE in the court, and the economy must be at the forefront. This examiner thinks there is nothing unusual about the questions this time. , and there is nothing wrong with what you said, I can guarantee this. You are all gone, scholars should be conscious, and work hard after returning home, and strive to be able to be listed in the high school next time."

As soon as Weng Yinglong finished speaking, he heard a loud voice in the crowd say: "My lord, we know you, you are one of the chief examiners of this imperial examination, we hope to have a fair dialogue with you, but before we ask you to let these government officials leave."

Weng Yinglong's face darkened and said: "Maintaining order is the responsibility of the Lin'an government office, and I have no right to prohibit it."

The voice continued: "Dear fellows, we don't want to have a conversation surrounded by yamen servants, do you agree?"

"Yes, yes." There were only a few people who responded at first, but soon the majority responded: "We agree, we want to be fair."

Weng Yinglong was a little annoyed and said: "If you continue to make trouble without reason, then I will be helpless."

"My lord, why are we making trouble for no reason? We just want to know the truth of the matter."

"Yes, we didn't make trouble for no reason." More and more candidates agreed.

I frowned when I heard this, and thought to myself, why is this Weng Yinglong still full of official authority at this time.

Weng Yinglong made a silent movement with both hands: "Everyone, I know what you think in your heart, but the state owns the law, so you leave first. This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor, how can you allow you to gather a crowd to make trouble. Listen to what I say, Leave quickly, otherwise, the yamen servants will act according to the rules, and this official will not be able to protect you well."

This time, the examinees were even more angry. As soon as they went online, gathering a crowd to make trouble had already violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. Many impulsive students had frictions with the surrounding yamen servants, and the situation was chaotic again.

In the tearing, the yamen servants were able to bear with it at first, but gradually some yamen servants were hurt. This group of yamen servants usually showed off their power, and they refused to suffer any disadvantages. They raised sticks and weapons to fight with the examinees.Most of the examinees were weak, so they couldn't be the opponents of the yamen servants. After a while, many of them were beaten to the ground. Fortunately, the yamen servants didn't dare to use force, so there was no serious problem.

"The yamen servant beat someone, come and see." The loud voice started to cry out from nowhere.

"The official beat someone." Several voices echoed.

In an instant, there was chaos in the square.

Suddenly, Yuan Ji whispered in my ear: "The few candidates who did it in the early stage know martial arts."

With a thought in my mind, I said to Xiaoqi: "Go and check that voice, see who it is?"

At this time, He Ji and Ma Tingluan, the chief examiners who heard the news, also came to the gate of Gongyuan.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, He Ji, the chief examiner, hurried to the bottom of the red list and knocked on the gongs and drums in front of the door. He only heard two sudden loud bangs of "bang, bang", which made both sides of the fight quiet down.

He Ji walked up to Weng Yinglong, waved his hands lightly, signaling for everyone to be quiet, these candidates all knew He Ji, knew that he was the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and this white-haired Master He Ji He was well-known in the hearts of students all over the world. Jia, seeing He Ji coming forward at this time, gradually calmed down.He Ji looked at the students in the square and said: "Everyone, old man He Ji, as the chief examiner of this scientific examination, today is the day when the results are announced, and we should celebrate together, although most of you failed to make it." On the list, but today, with the grace of the Emperor Kemeng, the number of people on the list has been increased from forty to sixty in the previous session. The emperor's move is to hope that more candidates will be able to make it to the top of the high school. As for the questions in your mind, maybe there are Any other ideas can be reflected through normal channels. You must not take this extreme method. Think for yourself, what problems can be solved by this? In addition, I will report to the emperor at the meeting, and the emperor will send an imperial envoy to the Gongyuan I will accept all the candidates' questions, and I will guarantee that there will be no yamen servants to show up and give everyone a chance to have a fair dialogue. Can everyone accept this approach?"

After listening to He Ji's words, the candidates whispered to each other. In fact, most of these candidates were frustrated because they were not on the list. In addition, some people incited them, got hotheaded, and lost their composure for a while, so they participated in it, not because they had any doubts in their hearts.

The topic of the palace examination is about the economy of the country. Although it is rare, it is not uncommon.

Scholars have always had high IQs, but their EQs were relatively low before they became officials.

Seeing that the crowd in the square calmed down a little, He Ji said to Ma Tingluan: "Master Ma, remove these yamen servants first."

Ma Tingluan nodded and said: "That's fine, Mr. He continues, I will notify the head of the yamen servant."

Although the yamen servants were sent by the yamen of Lin'an Prefecture, they did not dare not to evacuate in front of Mr. Ma, the official minister of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time released the several candidates who were detained.

He Ji continued to the candidates: "I am seventy-seven this year. After several scientific examinations, I understand your feelings very well. In every examination, only a few dozen candidates can make it to the red list. I think you must have done so." You all understand. Everyone, let’s go, go back and think about what questions you have, tomorrow afternoon I will accompany the imperial envoy here to communicate with you, and I hope to see you again in the next imperial examination."

The candidates in the square calmed down as soon as the fever passed.A few of them were disciples of He Ji or Ma Tingluan, and many candidates followed He Ji's theory and admired him as a person, so these people took the lead to leave.

Coincidentally, the surrounding yamen servants gradually dispersed. Seeing this situation, most of the candidates left one after another.That loud voice never made another sound, presumably he got mixed up with the crowd and left quietly.

I just returned to Ninggan Palace, and Xiao Qi also came back panting.

"Xiaoqi, speak slowly."

"Officials, there are several people who left the Gongyuan Square and ran to the northwest direction, and they were all very fast. The little ones saw something different and chased desperately. One of them fell behind and chased to a turning. Being able to catch this person, I never thought that a masked person would suddenly appear and take that person away. This masked person was too fast for me to react at all, and he disappeared in just a split second. People don’t know where to go.”

"Mr. is right. These people have martial arts. Fortunately, the respected He Ji arrived in time, so there was no major problem."

Xiao Qi said: "Officials, those people's accents are not from Lin'an."

I smiled and said, "The candidates come from all corners of the country, and naturally have different accents. However, these few people may not be candidates."

Yuan Ji also said: "Yes, I also don't think it looks like a student taking an exam."

Xiao Qi sighed: "Oh, it's all because of Xiao Xiao's incompetence, for not being able to catch it."

Yuan Ji said: "Xiao Qi doesn't need to blame himself, just think about it, since practicing the third section of Taizu Changquan, you have made great progress in speed, and those people are still much faster than you, which shows that those few People's martial arts are not low, not to mention that masked man who appears and disappears in an instant."

I agreed: "Yes, the masked man seems to be a big man, and he naturally wanted to cover up the secrets of these people's identities, but who would do this? What is the purpose?"
