Chapter 148: Admission to the examination room
Chapter 148 Entering the Examination Room
Approaching the scientific examination, Li Huachun, the chief examiner of the undergraduate martial arts field and the deputy commander of the Fujian Luxiang Army, has long stopped picking up the pilgrimage to the house in order to avoid suspicion. Even so, there are still a large number of scholars blocking him outside the mansion gate every day. Li Huachun secretly scolded these reckless men for not knowing how to avoid suspicion, so he had to avoid entering the outer house, and he was even more careful when entering and leaving.
This morning, Li Huachun's carriage had just come out of the outer house, but it was stopped in a secluded alley. Before the driver could shout, the visitor asked, "Can the general recognize Yao Daishan, the leader of the Yashazhai bandit. ?"
Li Huachun's heart skipped a beat, raised his hand to lift the car curtain and looked out, and saw a man in a white shirt standing beside the car. Without thinking twice, Li Huachun asked in a low voice, "Quanzhou Jiang Feng?"
"It's right here." Jiang Erye cupped his hands again, "Can you take a step to talk, sir?"
Of course Li Huachun didn't want to, but Jiang Feng was the one who killed Yao Daishan, so he had to listen to this, so he had to let Jiang Feng get in the car, the driver avoided, and his followers retreated.
After Jiang Erye got into the car, he said in a low voice without waiting for Li Huachun to ask questions, "General Li, when Yao Daishan was besieged on Jianfeng Mountain, he once said that you were his mother-in-law..."
"What nonsense!" Li Huachun's heart shrank, and he pulled his beard.
Jiang Erye had a sincere look on his face, "I also thought he was talking nonsense, so I told my subordinates to refrain from speaking, and I didn't inform the magistrate of Hui'an about the matter."
Li Huachun's heart was relieved, but he heard the white-faced boy on the opposite side say, "However, Yao Daishan told me that you have a private house here as proof that he is your nephew..."
Li Huachun cut off a few more roots, and there was not much left of his sparse beard. He didn't care about the beard, he grabbed Jiang Feng's arm and said in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang, there are not many people who know about Li's private house here. I don't know how the bandit found out, but he is definitely not a nephew of a certain, and a certain led troops to search and suppress this evil bandit several times, he must have a grudge because of this, and he framed a certain!"
"So that's the case!" Second Master Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yao Daishan once threatened him on the mountain that you were the head of the undergraduate examination, and if he caught him, you would definitely avenge him and make him unable to be selected. Since you don't know him , then you can rest assured."
Li Huachun said righteously, "Don't listen to his nonsense. All the adults in and out of the imperial examination were ordered by the emperor to choose the pillars for the country. Whether they can be successful or not depends on Jiang Gongzi's true ability."
"What the general said is very true." Jiang Erye took out a Fujian Luxiang Army token from his arms and handed it to Li Huachun, "This is an object found on Yao Daishan, and I don't know what it is."
Li Huachun immediately took the token and said nonsense in a serious manner, "This is an old item abandoned by the Xiang Army for many years, and I don't know when it was picked up by the bandits!"
Jiang Erye suddenly realized, "Thank you, General, for clarifying the confusion."
After Jiang Feng left, Li Huachun immediately called his entourage and whispered a few words, asking him to go to Hui'an to find out the news. Li Huachun was sitting in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and his hands and feet were cold.
Two days later, the entourage sent to inquire about the news rushed back to Fuzhou and reported the incident to Li Huachun secretly, "It is true that Jiang Feng and his entourage killed all the bandits in Yasha Village. When the magistrate of Hui'an arrived, Jiang Feng had already cleaned the bandit's body. There are thirty-eight pieces neatly placed at the foot of the mountain."
is neatly placed at the foot of the mountain, which means that Jiang Feng has already searched the bodies of these people. Could it be that the two tokens Yao Daishan took from him fell into Jiang Feng's hands?
Li Daichun asked quickly, "Is there any news from Hui'an Yamen?"
The entourage of course knew what his general was asking, "The old nest of Yasha Village in the mountains has been quickly found by Hui'an. I have obtained countless gold and silver items, but nothing else has been found."
Li Huachun slumped on the chair, not knowing what to do for a while. The entourage stepped forward, "General, the villain will go to the inn where Jiang Feng stayed tonight, and take him..."
"If he can choose Yasha Village, there must be capable people around him, and he must not act rashly." Li Huachun knew exactly what Jiang Feng wanted. It seems that this imperial examination, even if he does not help him pave the way, he must not set up obstacles. Life is more important than money, keep your life and official position, and you will have money in the future, which is not bad for Beijing.
On August 19, Cao Hongwen, the in-field examiner of the undergraduate martial arts exam, came to Li Huachun, and after a few chats with him, he began to talk about the business, "I need to have both literature, martial arts and morality in order to select talents. I heard that some scholars in the undergraduate course, On weekdays, I stay in Huaxiang, enter and leave the casino, and rely on my subordinates to kill a few thieves, so that people who don’t know what happened to me will sing praises for them.
Although Cao Hongwen did not name his name, Li Huachun knew who he was talking about. Li Huachun nodded solemnly, "What Mr. Cao said is very true! I must act according to the rules and choose good talents for the country."
He didn't ask who he was referring to? Cao Hongwen felt that something was wrong and asked tentatively, "General Li has a unique eye, have you ever found any good seedlings?"
Li Huachun nodded, "Did Mr. Cao hear that Jiang Feng, Jiang Zhongqing, who was in the Yasha Village with a gun on Jianfeng Mountain three days ago?"
Cao Hongwen…
"When he was in Beijing, he was praised by the sages because of his outstanding character, and now he is in Hui'an to kill the people. If you say that he has a unique eye, he must be the sage!" hand over.
Li Huachun even moved out of the sage. Cao Hongwen dared to say anything, and immediately bowed his hands, "What the general said is very true, long live is a wise man through the ages, of course, he has a unique eye."
Li Huachun's attitude was so clear that Cao Hongwen also made a murmur. After thinking about it, it is better to be careful.
In the early morning of August 20th, Jiang Qiu woke Jiang Erye from his nightmare, "Er Master, it's time to get up for dinner, and rush to the infield."
Jiang Erye rubbed his eyes, stood up and asked Jiang Bao to change his clothes, "Uncle Qiu, how is the situation?"
"Second Master is only responsible for answering the papers with peace of mind in the infield, and the old slaves will watch over everything outside the field." Uncle Qiu couldn't help but exhort, "Second Master, don't be in a hurry, the handwriting must be written clearly, and there is a lot of writing. Read it twice, if you are not sure about the word, change it to a common one, and copy it again..."
"Master is accurate in every word." Jiang Erye flicked his sleeves with confidence.
When arrived at the examination room, in the crowd of people seeing him off, Jiang Erye saw Meng San at a glance, so he picked his chin at him and smiled smugly.
His smile made the big girl and the little daughter-in-law who came to watch blushed and couldn't help but gather around. Meng San, who hated this scene the most, lowered the curtain with a cold snort, "Laugh, how proud you are laughing now, how much you cried when you came out, Lord is waiting for you here, let's see who has the last laugh!"
