  Chapter 219 217【Lawless】

  Han Chengxuan and Fu Ruwei are traveling in the mountains and rivers, and Wu Bing, the supervisor of Jiangxi, is working hard.

  How does it work?

   To be an academic officer, of course, to make money by presiding over exams!

  In April, Nanchang Prefecture Road Examination.

  The night before the road test, Wu Bing, as the chief examiner, was still inspecting the largest brothel in Fucheng.

  This gentleman is a dramatist, visiting a brothel is naturally an elegant act. In the evening, he came to the room of the popular leader, and his words and deeds were quite well-behaved, and he echoed the leader's playing and singing.

   Gradually, the wine was getting hotter, and Wu Bing and the head card sat closer and closer.

  The two embraced each other, feeding each other small wines, and read the illustrated version of "The Record of Female Generals of Datong" together.

   "I heard that MSI Pan Saisai sang at the peasant association outside Nanchang County that day?" Wu Bing asked suddenly.

  The headliner is called Li Ruo'an. Looking at the deeds of many Datong female generals, I feel infinite yearning and envy in my heart. But he could only make amends and said with a smile: "I'm a girl from a brothel, how can I know the whereabouts of Datong's female general? If you are interested, sir, you can go to the village to find Miss Na Pan."

  Wu Bing sighed: "I want to go, but I am afraid that unruly people will kill officials and rebel."

  Li Ruo laughed angrily and said, "Sir, if you don't mess with them, how can the unruly people kill officials?"

"Right."

   Wu Bing's heart suddenly became hot, and he planned to meet Mrs. Pan of MSI that day when he returned from presiding over the exams in various prefectures. Presumably, with his talent and generosity, he will definitely please Mrs. Pan, and maybe he will escape from the rebels and be taken into his house as a concubine.

   No, it cannot be put in the house!

  If she broke away from the rebels and became a concubine, Mrs. Pan would not be Tianweixing, so what's the fun in dating?

  Wu Bing not only likes to sing poems and songs, but also loves to read martial arts novels.

   "Green Peony" tells the love story between Luo Hongxun, the son of Jiangmen, and Bilian, the heroine of Jianghu, during the period of Wu Zetian. This novel has been adapted into an opera by Wu Bing.

   There is also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is popular in the south of the Yangtze River. Wu Bing is also adapting and creating it. He especially likes the chivalrous girl Huang Rong. Not only is she a chivalrous woman, but she is also a smart and talented woman, and she simply belongs to the white lotus in the minds of scholars.

  When he came to Jiangxi to take office at the beginning of the year, when Wu Bing read the "Records of Female Generals of Datong", his first reaction was that it was like a treasure.

  He has a wish, that is, during his tenure in Jiangxi, he will visit 108 Datong female generals, and make good friends with those "Jianghu Heroes".

  In "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty and "Records of Officials Martyred in the Imperial Victory Dynasty", Wu Bing committed suicide and died of hunger strike for seven days.

  But in the history books compiled by the adherents of the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Bing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and died of dysentery soon after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Qu Gongmei, a relative of Wu Bing's friend, also recorded exactly that he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in "爝火录".

   Which statement is more reliable, you can understand for yourself.

  After some refreshment, Wu Bing walked away from the brothel, and went to the Gongyuan in a sedan chair in the middle of the night. He was drunk, with a copy of "The Record of the Female Generals of Datong" stuck in his waist, and it was only when he walked to the street where the Gongyuan was located that he felt something was wrong.

  Under normal circumstances, at least thousands of students take part in the Daoist Examination in Nanchang Prefecture, and the examination must be conducted in rounds in units of counties.

  But why are there only a few hundred candidates in this alley?

   Yawning, Wu Bing quietly entered through the small door, not daring to let the examinees find out. Because according to the rules, not only he himself has to live in the examination room in advance, but also the accompanying scribes have to live in, so as not to mess around before the exam.

  After sneaking into the examination room, Wu Bing, smelling of alcohol, called the clerk of the government office: "How many candidates are there in Nanchang this year?"

   "Eight hundred and twenty-seven people." The scribe replied.

  Wu Bing said in surprise: "Why only so little?"

"Ugh!"

  The scribe sighed all over, not bothering to answer this question.

  Students and students who want to take the Taoist examination must first register with the county magistrate, and then the county school teacher organizes the examination.

  Nowadays, magistrates and counties all over Nanchang Prefecture are fooling around, and so are the edicts appointed by the imperial court. It's fine if it's an examination of Juren, after all, there is a chance to take the Jinshi examination and leave Jiangxi. But what's the point of being a showman? Even if they can be admitted to the scholar, Jiangxi has already changed the world before they won the exam.

  The exam is useless, it is better to self-study the elementary school textbooks distributed by Zhao Han.

   Now, all the textbooks for elementary and middle schools after the reform have been printed. It quickly aroused panic buying by scholars. They were embarrassed to go to elementary school, but it was good to buy books and study at home.

  Anyway, self-study is not difficult, just add some mathematics content and Datong thought, and they have already mastered the rest of the knowledge.

  Wu Bing sat in the curtain and sighed. The students were unwilling to take the exam, so how could he make money?

   The sky is dimly lit, and the exam questions are distributed.

  But seeing those candidates, they walked out of the examination room collectively, ran to the outside of the curtain and knelt down together.

A representative of the examinees shouted: "Inspector Rong Zhi, Luling Zhao bandits don't follow the sages, so what kind of mathematics is promoted in various counties. This mathematics is not the arithmetic of the Ming Dynasty, but the writing of the barbarians. It is really a matter of forgetting the ancestors and replacing Xia with barbarians. We are waiting for Nanchang scholars to jointly submit a letter, and ask the supervisor to forward it to the imperial court for the sage to listen to."

   "The school inspector, please make the decision!" More than 800 scholars kowtowed in unison.

  Wu Bing said: "Pass in the memorial, and you all go back to take the exam."

   "Thank you Superintendent."

  Seeing that Wu Bing had received the memorial, the examinees finally returned to the examination booth.

   Throwing away the memorial, Wu Bing lay down and went to sleep. He was exhausted most of the night, and was too sleepy after being drunk, so he could slowly fall asleep during the student exams.

   As for the memorial to the emperor?

  You said that the joint name of Juren to go to Shushu may still cause some waves. But the eight hundred scholars in front of them didn't even pass the exam for scholar. They came here for the exam for scholar today.

   "Inspector, Inspector!"

   I don’t know how long I slept, but the civil servant quietly woke Wu Bing up: “A candidate has handed in the test paper, will he be interviewed?”

  The Daoist Examination in the Ming Dynasty only took one exam, which was easier than the government examination in the Qing Dynasty. The examiner was in a good mood and could interview and admit on the spot.

  Wu Bing yawned and sat up straight, feeling sleepy, so he said, "Go home after the exam, don't bother me to meditate and study."

  Jiangxi is like this, Wu Bing has already broken the jar.

  When bandit Zhao dares to send troops to occupy Nanchang City, Wu Bing dares to join the bandit immediately, and he will be happy to be colleagues with the female generals of Datong from now on.

  Of course, it would be better to leave Jiangxi earlier, Xiong Wencan must be impeached then!

   Wu Bing had a personal enmity with Xiong Wencan, and Xiong Wencan was defeated in the conquest of Liu Xiang, so he wanted to confiscate the goods of foreign merchants (including the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan and other countries) to make up for the loss. He told Wu Bing to forge the crimes of merchants and merchants. At that time, Wu Bing was the prefect of Fuzhou, and he immediately came back and said: "I can't bear to kill and flatter."

   To put it in a dignified way, it is actually driven by interests, Wu Bing still has to rely on those foreign merchants to make money!

  Because of this incident, Wu Bing was suppressed by Xiong Wencan all the time, and he was forced to report illness and return to his hometown, where he devoted himself to creating operas.

  Returned to be an official this year, thanks to the restoration of the recommendation system by Chongzhen, Wu Bing was recommended to come back.

   In the next few days, Wu Bing waited for someone to send money. After receiving more than two hundred taels one after another, seeing that he couldn't get any more, he could only lament that the world is getting worse, and the candidates in Jiangxi are not even active in offering bribes and cheating.

   After checking the papers and releasing the rankings, Wu Bing encouraged himself and decided to go to Linjiujiang, Nankang, Raozhou, Guangxin and other prefectures first. Those places are not the territory of Zhao thief, and he must be able to get more. At this time, he must not give up on himself.

   Come on, Wu Bing, you can do it!

  Starting from the mansion in a sedan chair, Wu Bing wanted to go to Nankang Mansion first, but was stopped just after turning a street.

  Wu Bing lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw countless people holding sticks. He was so frightened that he quickly shouted: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair, the rebels are coming!"

  The bearer didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Wu Bing shouting like this, he immediately threw down the sedan chair and fled.

  Wu Bing was thrown to pieces and climbed out of the official sedan chair in embarrassment. He was considering whether to escape or follow the thieves, but found that those "rebels" didn't rush over at all.

  Wu Bing hid far away, waited and watched courageously, and soon heaved a sigh of relief.

   That was the mansion of the **** guarding Jiangxi, surrounded by countless small townspeople. All of them slammed into the door with all their strength, and after some hard work, they finally broke the door open.

   "Kill the dog eunuch!"

   "Four walls are guarded, don't let the **** escape over the wall!"

   "Kill!"

   "..."

   Not long after, Wang Yongzhong, the **** guarding Jiangxi, was caught by these petty citizens.

  Wang Yongzhong was so frightened that he peed his pants, tearing up and down: "The hero, spare your life, the hero, spare your life!"

  A merchant grabbed the eunuch's clothes and asked, "Do you still dare to collect taxes indiscriminately?"

  Wang Yongzhong was paralyzed, and repeatedly assured: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare again. All heroes, please forgive me, and I will definitely not dare to accept it again in the future."

   "Don't believe this guy's nonsense, once you let him go today, you will definitely get revenge in the future."

   "Kill the eunuch, the government dare not do anything."

   "That's right, this Nanchang is Mr. Zhao's world, the **** sent by the dog emperor, if you kill it, you will kill it!"

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

   "..."

  Under the agitation of the crowd, the people on the outer layer squeezed in hard, and the people on the inner layer subconsciously started fighting.

   I don't know how long the fight took, and I came here on the official mission of the inspector and Nanchang mansion.

   But in the face of such a situation, those officials did not dare to stop them, for fear that the bad guys would turn around and beat them. I had to stand far away and shout: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, I'll cut my head off!"

  The common people don't pay attention to the officials at all, only a few timid ones sneak away in fright.

   "The **** is dead, hurry up and relax."

   "Oh, don't worry, someone stepped on my hand!"

   "..."

   After an unknown amount of time, the people finally dispersed, leaving only an unrecognizable corpse on the street.

  Wu Bingzhuang took the courage to go over to check, and immediately covered his face and turned his head. The death of the **** was terrible. Wu Bing's legs were weak, his mind went blank, and he was only slightly awake when he ran back to his residence.

   Either quickly transfer the money away, or become a muddled official in Jiangxi, Wu Bing can no longer have a second thought.

  Xiong Wencan, Jiangxi Sansi, and Nanchang prefect rushed to the scene one after another, but they had nothing to say when they saw the eunuch's body.

  Wu Shiliang, in his 80s, was promoted from Jiangxi Right Chief Envoy to Left Chief Envoy. The old man sighed and said: "Wang Yongzhong, the guarding eunuch, exploited excessively, provoked civil uprisings, and was surrounded and beaten to death by merchants. Just kill any culprits and report them to the court."

   "Exactly." Xiong Wencan nodded.

  All the officials dared not object, and collectively reported "truthfully". As for the culprit who beat and killed the eunuch, he could kill any number of death row inmates in the prison.

   This Jiangxi is really lawless!
