There is actually no logical error in Fan Dongcheng's method of defiling people, because Yan Mingli did cheat, and Yan Mingli did marry Shen Yi.
Fraud in imperial examinations is a very serious matter in this era.
If it is a higher-level imperial examination such as the provincial examination, if there is a fraud case, the merit will be revoked and the candidates will never be admitted!
Fortunately, Shen Yi and others have no meritorious status and have not even entered the county government school. Naturally, there is no such thing as abolition of meritorious titles. Moreover, the influence of the county examination is limited to the county and is completely decided by the county magistrate. Therefore, This matter is not out of control.
The people sent by Fan Dongcheng quickly arrived at the county government ceremony room and handed a series of evidence to Wang Jiaoyu in the county government office. After Wang Jiaoyu got the evidence, he first read it up and down, and then immediately He frowned heavily.
He is the county magistrate and is in charge of the education of the entire county. For this era, the so-called education actually refers to the number of people who pass the scientific examination every year.
In addition to scientific examination results, what is more important is "simple folk customs".
And simple folk customs naturally cannot allow such things as cheating.
Once Yan Mingli's cheating is confirmed, he will be the first to be punished by the superiors of the "Xueguan" system.
However, since someone had submitted evidence, Wang Jiaoyu naturally could not sit idly by. After he obtained the evidence, he immediately knocked on the door of the county master’s study room, and then handed the evidence to Zhang Xianzun’s office. On the desk.
Zhang Jian was reading some miscellaneous books out of boredom. After receiving what Wang Jiaoyu handed over, the young county magistrate first frowned and asked, "What is this strict ritual..."
Wang Jiaoyu raised his head, glanced at his county minister carefully, and said, "Back to the county minister, Yan Mingli is a student of Ganquan Academy..."
Hearing these words, Zhang Jian frowned even deeper.
Within a moment, he had already made a decision in his mind.
"This matter must be covered up first. No third person in the county government can know about it."
Wang Jiaoyu was also responsible for it, so naturally he didn't want this matter to become a big deal. He nodded and said, "Subordinates... I will obey the orders of the county magistrate."
"Is the person who reported the case...still in the county government office?"
"Here I am."
Wang Jiaoyu lowered his head slightly and said, "My subordinates... also knew that this matter was not trivial, so they kept an eye on the man and did not let him leave."
"well done."
Zhang Xianzun took a deep breath and stood up from his chair. He glanced at Wang Jiaoyu and said slowly: "I'll tell you a yamen officer. If you look at this person to death, don't let him go. in addition……"
"There is probably someone behind this person. I will write you a note later and call the pawnbroker to the county government office for your dispatch. If anyone comes to the county government office to cause trouble today, they will not be allowed to go out. Try to..."
"Try not to bring the matter to the government office."
Zhang Jian and Zhang Xianzun belong to the undisputed Ganquan Academy family, but the Chen Fuzun above him is from Yang Xiangguo's family, so he may not necessarily side with the academy. Therefore, Zhang Jian now tries his best to make things as clear as possible. Keep the influence down and try to control it within the range that the county government can handle.
After all, Wang Jiaoyu has worked in Jiangdu for many years. He is in the "academic official" system and knows better than anyone what kind of existence Ganquan Academy is in Jiangdu. Seeing the reaction of the county magistrate, he thought thoughtfully.
He said, "My lord, are you going out?"
"Um."
Zhang Jian stood up and said: "I have to go out for a while. The county government office will be left to you for the time being. Follow my instructions. No matter who comes to speak about this matter, they will be detained at the county government office."
Having said this, he glanced at Wang Jiaoyu and said slowly: "Of course, if someone wants to take the matter to the government office, I have no choice. Everyone has their own ambitions."
Not many people in the county government know about this matter now. Zhang Jian's words are obviously not meant for other people in the county government, but for Wang Jiaoyu in front of him.
Wang Jiaoyu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't worry, county magistrate. Your subordinates are fed by the county government. They don't look at the heights of mountains. They obey the county magistrate's orders in everything..."
"Um."
Zhang Jian stood up, left his study with his hands behind his back, then walked outside and said in a deep voice: "Get the car ready and go to Ganquan Academy."
Ganquan Academy is just outside the city, not very far from the county government office. It only took about half an hour for County Lord Zhang’s carriage to arrive at the gate of the academy. He was the County Lord of Jiangdu County, so he entered the academy easily.
, not long after, he came to Master Lu’s study and met his uncle.
At this moment, Shen Yi had just left, and Master Lu was sitting in his seat writing furiously, seemingly writing a letter.
Zhang Jian lowered his hands slightly, lowered his head and said, "Uncle."
Master Lu stopped writing, looked up at Zhang Jian, and then said slowly: "Someone came to the county government to report that the students in my academy were cheating, right?"
"yes."
Zhang Xianzun let out a sigh of relief.
"The matter has been suppressed by the students. We won't make too big a fuss for the time being. I'm afraid that people from the government office will know about it, and Chen Fuzun may not be of the same mind as us."
"Chen Yu..."
Master Lu lowered his eyebrows slightly: "His teachers have bowed their heads, and he doesn't dare to offend too many people. Even if he knows about this matter, he will probably pretend not to know."
Zhang Jian glanced at Lu Anshi curiously and said, "Uncle, I just received the news and came to the academy to see you immediately. How did you know about this?"
"Is that student named Yan Mingli here to tell you the truth?"
Master Lu put down his brush, looked up at Zhang Jian, and shook his head slightly.
"This matter is not complicated. In the final analysis, some people are used to being tyrannical in Jiangdu. Without anyone to control them, they become more arrogant and unscrupulous."
Having said this, Lu Anshi's eyes also showed some anger. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and finished writing the letter. Then he dried the ink, handed the letter to Zhang Jian, and said, "This is for Brother Changping."
Please use the official post to send the letter to Jiankang and deliver it to Brother Changping as soon as possible."
Zhao Changping was Zhang Jian's teacher, so there was nothing wrong with sending this letter to him. However, the county magistrate still didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter. He looked at Master Lu and asked, "Uncle Lu, I still don't understand."
."
"There is a young man in the Fan family. In his early years, he relied on connections and entered an academy to study..."
Speaking of this, Lu Anshi narrowed his eyes and continued: "He relied on his uncle who was a minister in Jiankang to become arrogant and domineering in Jiangdu. Leaving aside what happened this time, the last time Chen Qing, a student of my academy, was raped
Beating and killing cannot be separated from him!"
"Although his uncle is not from our academy, for the sake of being from Jiangdu, we both gave in last time and did not quarrel. This time, this dude actually wants to smear our academy's face!"
After hearing Lu Anshi explain the cause and effect of this incident, the expression on Zhang Xianzun's face also changed. He looked at Master Lu and said slowly: "So, this is not a fraud case, but someone behind the scenes..."
He said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't worry, the student will go back to the county office immediately and investigate this matter to the bottom of it!"
"If you can't do it, don't do it."
Master Lu shook his head slightly, looked at Zhang Jian, and whispered: "In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Yan Mingli committed fraud. If this matter is investigated, it will damage the reputation of the academy. If we suppress this matter first, let...
