Chongxi Concubine of Time Travel

Chapter 412 Strange scholar, guess range (2)
"Your Majesty has granted you a three-month holiday to return to your hometown to worship your ancestors, so..." Han Ziyan was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Are you that Han Ziyan, the champion of this year's new division, who could have stayed in Shangjing but had to be released?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's voice interrupted him.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao and Shangguan Xueyan were talking with the village chief over there, but what happened here did not escape their eyes and ears.After Shuanzi's family used the excuse to persuade the village chief, he heard Han Ziyan's words when he walked over.

"Going back to the prince is the next official." When Han Ziyan heard the question and saw Xuanyuan Xuanxiao walking in front of him, he was about to kneel down and salute again, but Xuanyuan Xuanxiao stopped him, and he didn't want to reveal his identity.

"Aren't you from the south? Why did you come here to worship your ancestors? Or is your hometown a fake, or is it that you are a fake?" When Xuanyuan Xuanxiao asked this, his tone was a bit gloomy.It is a serious crime to fill in false household registration or replace others in the imperial examination, and it is also explicitly prohibited by the court.

"My lord misunderstood me. I was born as a junior official here, but when I was young, my family changed, and Uncle Meng didn't give up, so I moved to the south. This junior official can explain to the lord in detail, but now this is not the place to talk." Han Ziyan faced He answered Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's question frankly.

Seeing his fearless appearance, Xuanyuan Xuanxiao knew that it would not be what he thought, and there must be a reason for him to appear here.

"We should leave, but we have to take those people away, otherwise the people don't know what to do with them. If you keep them here, the people will be afraid. Second, you go and feed them, Tell them it's poison. As for the antidote, we are the only ones who have the poison. If there is no antidote, they will bleed to death. Let them be smart and don't leak our details, otherwise there will be no antidote Give it to them. Let them follow us and be careful with them." Under Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's questioning eyes, Shangguan Xueyan took out a small porcelain bottle and gave it to An Er. She thought it would be easy to control those people, and people are very afraid of death of.

"Yes, ma'am." An Er took the medicine bottle and left, he knew what to do.

"I don't know what Master Han's plan is, if not, then go with us, and you can listen to Master Han's reasons on the way." Shangguan Xueyan looked at the carriage and Han Ziyan who were driving over there and said that they were going to leave up.

"Xiaguan is also planning to go to Dexing County. If the prince doesn't think it's cumbersome to be an official, I would like to be an official." Han Ziyan lowered his head and said, after all, their identities are different.

"Well, according to the princess's wishes, you follow us, I also want to hear your explanation." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao glanced at him, this person is not small, dare to play tricks with them, I hope he knows something What, otherwise I will make him regret following them.

Han Ziyan shuddered at Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's glance, but he had to follow them. Perhaps only this person in the whole of Xiyue could realize his long-cherished wish for many years.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao helped Shangguan Xueyan into their carriage, and they were going to the next town to do their own business.

"Let him sit on the shaft of the carriage." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao said to An Er, who was driving the carriage, before he got into the carriage, so that he could listen to his explanation through the carriage door and look after him.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao always felt that the appearance of this person was very strange, he had heard about this person from Yaoer.Although he has been in the Valley of Medicine for the past few months, it does not affect him at all to understand the affairs of the court, and Yaoer will tell him anything.For this new champion, Yaoer said that his literary talent is very good, otherwise he would not stand out among so many students and be named the champion by Yaoer.What puzzled Yao'er the most was that this man Yao'er clearly wanted him to stay in Shangjing, but he took the initiative to transfer to a remote place, and he was still determined to go.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao didn't expect that the people whom his younger brother admired would appear here, and let them meet.He had to think about this person's motives, after all, the place they met was too coincidental.

"Do you know this man?" Shangguan Xueyan asked Xuanyuan Xuanxiao curiously after getting into the carriage, she could tell that the man seemed to be trying to get their attention.

"Yaoer mentioned him in the biography that Yaoer gave me, and every line is full of praise for him." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao sat leaning in the carriage, stretched out his hand to hold a cup of tea and said.

"I also want to see what makes him special. He may know something that we don't know. Let's ask." Shangguan Xueyan put down the medical book she just took out, looked at Xuanyuan Xuanxiao and said.

"I wonder if the prince and concubine have time to listen to the official's explanation?" Just as Xuanyuan Xuanxiao and Shangguan Xueyan were discussing Han Ziyan, Han Ziyan's voice came from outside.

"Speak." Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's simple and clear answer came from inside.

"My name is Han Ziyan, and I was born in a place called Liushui Village not far in front of me. Like the village you saw today, my lord, it is a village that has been overwhelmed by taxes. In fact, most of the villages here are like this. When I was young, my family The conditions are very bad, there are too many people, too little to eat, and a lot of taxes. The family can't afford it at all, and the family is even more miserable. Both grandpa and grandma left hungry, and my uncle had no money. I left while receiving medical treatment. Even my parents died when I was five years old. When the yamen servants came to my door to claim my tax credit, my parents were beaten to death during a dispute with them. If my uncle hadn’t appeared suddenly to take the silver taels and pay the tax, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have had a good end. I’m afraid there would be no one in our family. At that time, I was ignorant and ignorant, but I still knew some things through my ears and eyes. Remember that their death is due to severe taxation. After I went to my uncle’s house, they treated me very well. My uncle even sent me to study. Maybe I just know what I want to do when I grow up, so I study very hard. The bigger The more I understand the harm of this tax issue, but no one cares about it. I came here before the exam. I thought that after so many years, the situation should have improved, but who knew it was even more serious. So I am more determined to take the exam. Go to the top three, only then can I see His Majesty and explain to him what's going on here." Han Ziyan slowly talked about his experience, the pain of losing his relatives, the hatred of family ruin, such a small person at that time in my heart.But it was also that hatred that gave him the motivation to study, his firm belief and what he had to do.

"But I didn't realize it until I was in the examination room. I was thinking too simply. The examination room checks the candidates' origins very strictly. Especially those from the Zhongzhou Prefecture, these villages are under the jurisdiction of the Zhongzhou Prefecture. Prince, don’t you think this is very strange? Later, I wondered if those people were afraid that the high school students from Zhongzhou Prefecture would reveal this matter in front of His Majesty. After thinking about this, I felt that going to Beijing was very important for me. Said it was too dangerous, so I didn't dare to expose this matter in front of His Majesty when I was admitted to the No. County magistrate, this is what I wish for. After I came out to Beijing, I felt that someone was following me. In order to confuse them, I sat in the carriage and did not come out, pretending to be in a hurry to return to my hometown to worship my ancestors. He went back to my uncle's house in the south for me, but I came here alone with makeup, and wanted to find out first. Today, when I saw those yamen servants taking those children away, I originally thought that I would follow them just to expose myself. When I arrived at the county yamen, I could let those yamen servants release them. Children, maybe God is pity for the people here, I didn't expect them to meet you, Holy Prince, this official is more relieved, besides His Majesty, you can take care of this matter in Xiyue." Han Ziyan sat on the shaft of the car and watched Looking at the village not far away, he said to Xuanyuan Xuanxiao and the others inside.When he talked about the front, he was resentful, worried, and even confused.But after talking about it, his tone suddenly became lighter, as if he was sure that Xuanyuan Xuanxiao would take care of this matter.

After he finished speaking, there was no sound from the carriage for a long time, only the sound of hooves.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao in the carriage was holding the cup, his eyes were changing and he didn't know what he was thinking.Shangguan Xueyan didn't even read the medical book she held up. She thought that if what this person said was true, the matter would be too troublesome. The person involved must be a high-ranking person, and this person is not young at all.He may be a courtier whom His Majesty trusts very much, or he may be a member of the royal family who seems to be relatively idle.

Shangguan Xueyan ruled out Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's younger brothers first, because their ages did not match.Then there are those courtiers in the court. Judging from the situation she has grasped before, the queen's mother is impossible. The Bai family and the others are too conspicuous, and many people in Shangjing are staring at them.As for Chunyu's family, that is a military general with a relatively single mind, that is, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.As for the Mu family, they have no real power and no ability.The Ling family, which covered the sky with one hand, was wiped out, so that can also be ruled out.As for the prime minister's old fox, he has real power and ability, but according to his shrewd temperament, he would not do such a dangerous thing, besides, he doesn't seem like a person who died for money.These are the top aristocratic families in Beijing, and there are some first-rank officials, but they don't have enough foundation and influence.Many people were involved in the matter of the Ling family last time, so it can be said that there are no officials in Shangjing who have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, so the remaining suspects are the members of the royal family.

"Xuan Xiao, how much do you know about the royal family? Are you familiar with them?" Shangguan Xueyan asked after thinking about it.

"Yan'er, do you suspect that the person behind this is a member of the Xuanyuan royal family?" Xuanyuan Xuanxiao was a little surprised by Shangguan Xueyan's guess, but he did not refute her.

"I thought about those officials who went to Beijing. In terms of their motivation, ability and influence, no one can do it. Then the rest can only be people from the Xuanyuan royal family. Think about it for yourself?" Shangguan Xueyan didn't tell him her speculation right away, so that if he had a preconceived idea, it would affect his judgment.
