Lady Wan Guan

After everyone introduced themselves, Jiang Wanning led the conversation.

"I heard that Chu Feifan spilled the beans while he was drunk and you heard him, but is it true?"

Yanhui smiled bitterly: "It's all rumors. Chu Feifan is so arrogant, how can he drink with us?"

"Oh? Then how did you discover the problem?"

"Brother Pengcheng discovered it first. Brother Pengcheng, tell me." Du Qianyuan said.

Jiang Pengcheng said: "There is no need to say it."

Jiang Wanning said wisely: "I'm just curious. Since Brother Jiang doesn't want to tell me, I won't ask."

"Is there anything that can't be said?" Liu Wenbin said.

"Chu Feifan is famous in our Luzhou for being uneducated. To put it harshly, he doesn't know all the words. Who doesn't know that he can pass the provincial examination because his uncle who is the judge used money to run it? He is better than him. Do you think it's irritating that a person with high academic ability failed the list, but he was on the list? When Chu Feifan first came to the capital, he pretended to read for a few days. A few days ago, brother Pengcheng saw him sneaking around with someone. What did he say? After that, Chu Feifan stopped studying and went out to eat, drink and have fun every day, and even recruited girls from brothels to come to the inn. He was really... polite and polite."

"Then for lunch the day before yesterday, Brother Pengcheng asked the waiter to get some more steamed buns. He was not afraid of Brother Jiang's jokes. We all came from poor families, and the expenses for going to Beijing to take the exam were all funded by the countryside. So, when we arrived in the capital, the four of us went together We live in a room and save money on food and drink. But when Chu Feifan heard that Brother Pengcheng asked for a few more steamed buns, he laughed at us and said, "What's the use of being good at school? We have money." Having a relationship is the way to go.”

"We were a little suspicious at the time. Brother Pengcheng entered Chu Feifan's room while he was away and found the test questions in his pillow. To be cautious, we followed Chu Feifan and followed him into Cuichun Tower to hear with our own ears He told the girl at Cuichunlou that he would soon be named on the gold medal list."

"We are still not sure whether the test question is true. Yesterday, Chu Feifan went out early in the morning. We saw him making a deal with a scholar. We later found the scholar. The scholar refused to tell at first, so we scared him. , to arrest him and bring him to see the officials, he told the truth and it turned out that it was Chu Feifan who came to him to write an article about the test questions and gave him one hundred taels."

"Now we are sure that we went to the Yamen to expose Chu Feifan."

Liu Wenbin told the whole story in detail.

Jiang Wanning asked: "Where is the scholar?"

Liu Wenbin opened his mouth and looked at Yan Hui.

Yan replied: "That scholar is also a poor person. We promised to keep him a secret, so we didn't mention him when we reported to the official. A gentleman should keep his word."

"It's okay to falsify in the provincial examination, but in the capital, they still dare to do this, and the examiner dares to leak the questions. With such an examiner, there is no justice in the scientific examination. We have spent ten years in the cold window, and we have learned a lot. , want to serve the country, but the reality is chilling. If we don’t stand up, there will be countless Chu Feifan to replace those who are truly talented and knowledgeable, maybe you, maybe me." Yan Hui said sadly and indignantly.

Jiang Wanning was in awe: "If everyone just sweeps the snow in front of the door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles, one day, there will be an avalanche and the house will collapse, and there will be no one to help. Today you stand up and expose it, not only for yourselves, but also for everyone." Thousands of scholars have spoken out for the sake of clearing up the imperial examinations and for the country to be able to select real talents."

"Brother Jiang, if only everyone was as righteous as you, we wouldn't be kicked out of the inn." Du Qianyuan sighed.

"Brother Jiang, do you think this can be done?" Jiang Pengcheng asked.

Jiang Wanning said: "I only know that Mr. Yao, the deputy chief examiner, has been imprisoned. As for how the case will be tried and what the outcome will be, I dare not say. If the case is not tried by the Ministry of Punishment, but by Dali Temple, then what will happen? I can guarantee that this case will have a fair outcome."

"Oh? Why did Brother Jiang say this?" Yan asked back.

"I have some friendship with Mr. Gu, the Minister of Dali Temple, and I know his character very well. He is selfless and upright in handling cases. He is the person most hated and feared by corrupt officials."

Du Qianyuan said: "If we had known, we would have gone to Dali Temple to expose it."

Jiang Pengcheng asked: "Will Dali Temple intervene in this case?"

Jiang Wanning shook his head: "It's hard to say. I heard that the Ministry of Punishment has accepted it."

Yan Hui cupped his hands and saluted: "Brother Jiang, if the Ministry of Punishment cannot judge the case fairly, I hope that Brother Jiang will introduce Mr. Gu of Dali Temple. We will fight to the death on this matter."

Jiang Wanning looked at the expressions of the four people, with a flash of doubt in her eyes. There were three pairs of expectant eyes, but one pair showed a bit of worry.

Jiang Wanning suppressed the doubts in her heart and said, "Let's wait and see in two days. If something goes wrong, I can help you introduce Mr. Gu in advance."

As the sky grew dark, Ji Yunchen packed a few snacks from Baicuilou and went to Dali Temple to meet Gu Zhouding.

Gu Zhou stopped and saw that he was carrying two large food boxes: "Is it too much?"

Ji Yunchen said: "I would rather have too much leftover than not have too little and not enough to eat. This is my first time meeting Taoist Priest Wugou. I can't give people the impression of being stingy."

To be honest, Ji Yunchen felt a little nervous when he went to see Taoist Master Wu Gu.

I always heard Nan Zhi say in the past that the little old man was very difficult to maintain and had a weird temper.

"Lao Gu, you have dealt with Taoist Priest Wu Gu. Is he really as difficult to deal with as Nan Zhi said?"

Gu Zhou stopped laughing: "What? Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid. I'm asking for help!" He also hoped that Taoist priest Wu Gu could give him some advice on martial arts.

His martial arts has not improved for a long time.

"Don't worry, you just need to respect him from the bottom of your heart and treat him as your elder."

Gu Zhou stopped. Taoist Priest Wugou is naturally difficult to negotiate with those who have nothing to do with him. His Highness wanted to see Taoist Wugou several times, but was rejected.

No face at all.

But he knew in his heart that Taoist Wu Gu just didn't want to get involved in royal affairs.

"Lao Gu, do you think Taoist Wu Gu only likes female disciples? He only accepted Nan Zhi as a disciple before, and this time he only gave Lady Jiang face."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Zhouting glared at him.

Ji Yunchen chatted.

While talking, the carriage arrived at the small courtyard.

As soon as I entered, I heard Jiang Wanning accusing Taoist Master Wu Gu: "Master, you have no regrets when you make a mistake. You can't always cheat."

Taoist Master Wu Gu said shamelessly: "I didn't put my piece down again? Ahem, if I didn't put it down to the end, it doesn't count as a regret."

"Young people should respect their elders. Old people have bad eyesight and should be considerate."

"Okay, come on, I'll see where you put this piece. You'll lose wherever you put it."

"Oh, don't keep influencing me. Even if you win like this, it will be a weak victory."

Ji Yunchen was surprised, is Jiang Wanning so awesome? Even Taoist Priest Wu Gu dared to criticize him.

This momentum is even more arrogant than Nan Zhi's.

And how come Taoist Wu Gu is acting like an old naughty boy?
