"How could the case of examination fraud involve our family?" Mr. Chang's voice was hoarse.
Where does the person in charge know?
Mrs. Chang's voice trembled, "Perhaps we just asked you to speak. Everyone knows our talents and knowledge, and there is no way we can commit fraud."
Something has happened to the Qiao family, and the Chang family cannot escape its involvement. Nothing can make people feel at ease now.
Master Chang followed the steward to the front yard.
Chang Yining changed his clothes and was about to leave with the officials of Shuntian Mansion.
Mr. Chang had already walked over with a straight face, "What does this mean? Arrest people when Shuntian Prefecture says to arrest them. I am an official of the imperial court after all, and I will not tolerate you doing such nonsense."
The Shuntian Mansion official smiled and said, "Master Chang has misunderstood. The court just asked Master Chang to go over and question him. There is no plan to arrest him."
If you ask questions and say things nicely, whoever spreads the word will believe it, and they will all think that Yi Ning's fame came from something strange.
"Does Master Chang know about Hou Zian? Hou Zian said that he is familiar with Master Chang... Hou Zian said that after coming out of Gongyuan, he discussed articles with several candidates. The court is now asking those candidates to go back for verification."
Mr. Chang's eyes widened, "Hou Zian said that he and Yi Ning would discuss the article together?"
The official smiled apologetically and said: "That's not true, but those candidates named some people, including the Fifth Master." Those candidates thought that the more people testify, the better, and they have reached the point of biting people randomly. Chang Yining is a talented person.
With such a good reputation, mentioning Chang Yining seems to be more convincing, so once one mentions Chang Yining, the people behind him will follow suit.
In short, let's not interrogate him. After asking, he found out that they are all useless scholars. These people seem to have extraordinary magnanimity. They are all confident and can point out the country. After seeing the real Pai Yamen, they can cry for father and mother after just a few threats.
stand up.
These people are all candidates for exams. Either this year's candidates are too cowardly, or there is really fraud. Otherwise, the more we investigate, the more strange it becomes.
Chang Wuye's reputation as a talented person used to be quite enviable, but now it has become a drag.
Chang Yining, whom the doctors from the academy praised every day, if Chang Wuye wanted to take the imperial examination, he would have won the first prize in one fell swoop.
Now Chang Wuye finally took the imperial examination, but he was involved in the imperial examination fraud case.
There are still such ridiculous things in the world.
After the official finished speaking, he straightened his face and said, "Mr. Chang, I have a humble position and official duties, so I'll take my leave." He looked directly at Chang Yining and said, "Chang Wuye, let's go!"
Chang Yining never thought that this day would come. He has been a leader among his peers since he was twelve years old. He has been waiting for the opportunity to show his talent. As long as he becomes an official at the right time, he can move as he wants.
Bu Qingyun, and then do what he wants to do, change the political situation of the court, and surprise the world.
Chang Yining's mind had never been so confused, and he followed the officials to the county government office in a daze.
Hearing that Chang Yining was coming, several candidates gathered in the yamen immediately turned around and said, "Master Chang is here, Master Chang is here, Master Chang, please tell me, do we often talk together that day?"
Article, why do we people look like we are cheating in the examination room..."
Chang Yining stood silently.
The official next to him said: "Master Chang Wu, I am here to advise you. Now is not a poetry gathering for talented people. You can't get rid of it if you are tense here. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. If it is really related to this matter."
It doesn't matter if you pick it out, is it possible that you don't want to take the imperial examination in the future?"
The romantic and talented man is worth a fortune, but now he is almost a prisoner. It is useless to play the same trick again. Standing on the bow of a flower boat can make others admire him, but being in prison will only scare himself to death. No matter how beautiful he is, or how talented he is, that will not matter.
It's fake. Just look at the things the Chang family did, and it's disgusting.
Ge Shitong sat on a chair and looked at Chang Yining below.
Isn’t it possible that the Chang family’s affairs don’t know anything about the Chang family?
He said he didn't know, he didn't even know what happened at home, why did he talk about governing the country? He said he knew, such talent and virtue are really amazing, no wonder Miss Yang refused to marry him despite her words.
"Come on, if you can't speak, just write it down with a pen and paper." Ge Shitong waved his sleeves and asked someone to bring up the paper and pen, as if Chang Yining couldn't even speak.
There were chuckles from the soap slaves around.
A talented person with outstanding talents can write beautiful articles now that he can't say a word or defend himself.
Chang Yining stood there, thinking of the gossip outside these days.
"Young Master Chang can only rely on nepotism, so what kind of talent is he?"
"Young Master Chang wants to embrace everyone and enjoy the blessings of everyone. They have both money and a future."
Hou Zian looked at Chang Yining. Mr. Ge had always been cold-mouthed to them, but he was very kind to Chang Yining. Now he also gave him paper, pen and soft seat. Mr. Yan Ge once praised Chang Yining, saying that Chang Yining is
If Chang Yining, a rare talent in the Zhou Dynasty for decades, could hold on tightly, maybe there would be a turn for the better.
"Brother Chang, brother Shaofu," Hou Zian's voice was like a rooster suppressed in the throat, "your father-in-law treated us to a banquet at Zuiyue Tower. Do you remember that we didn't talk loudly at that time? Brother Shaofu also treated me very well.
That’s a lot of advice, brother Shaofu, don’t you think so? That night I said we were going to be brothers-in-law.”
Brother-in-law.
Chang Yining seemed to remember Hou Zian saying something similar, but he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he heard Hou Zian mention it, he couldn't help but be startled.
Ge Shitong couldn't help but want to spurn him. No wonder Hou Zian and Chang Yining were so familiar with each other. They turned out to be the same thing. Hou Zian wanted to seize his wife's dowry, and so did Chang Yining.
If Miss Yang hadn't saved the Cheng family, Hou Zian would have forced his wife to death. If Miss Yang hadn't left the Chang family, she might have ended up like that.
Ge Shitong suddenly felt that it made sense to say that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil.
Come on, let's continue the review. He feels very comfortable in this position today.
Chang Yining raised his head and saw the disgusting expectation in Hou Zian's eyes, which were wet and sticky and seemed to stick to him.
Everyone else in the yamen looked at them like that, as if he and Hou Zian were the same.
In the blink of an eye, he became the person he hated the most.
Chang Yining suddenly felt like laughing. His reputation for careful management was gone.
…
Yang Mo was sitting in Baohe Hall. The waiters in Baohe Hall were laughing and talking about things outside. Wei Mao sent Cheng Laozuo to Shuntian Mansion early this morning, and happened to meet the officials who went to Chang's house to invite Chang Yining.
The news about Chang Yining and the imperial examination fraud case spread like this.
This made Yang Mo think of Chang Yining without knowing it.
Yang Molan was bullied by Qiao Yuechan and often begged Chang Yining to make the decision for her. In the Chang family, she felt that the person closest to her was Chang Yining and the only one she could rely on was him, but Chang Yining ignored him.
In Chang Yining's heart, Yang Molan has always been so insignificant. Not only does he have to pay for the entire Yang family's wealth, but he also has to pay for himself and the lives of his children. Maybe a few more women like Yang Molan can be exchanged for
The Chang family's wealth and glory, Chang Yining's future.
While everyone was talking, someone outside asked: "Is Miss Yang here?"
Yang Mo raised her head and saw that the person who came in was the young eunuch she had met in the Shangqing Courtyard yesterday.
Yang Mo welcomed the young eunuch into the inner hall, and the young eunuch said: "Eunuch Huang asked me to tell you that he wants to come to Baohe Hall for medical treatment."
Eunuch Huang's illness requires continuous treatment to be effective, but I didn't expect that he would come to Baohetang himself.
Yang Mo nodded and told Wei Mao, "Call Zhu Shan and see if there are any suitable maggots." Eunuch Huang has an ulcer on the sole of his foot, and maggots need to eat the carrion to heal better.
Wei Mao responded and immediately went to call Zhu Shan.
After a while, Eunuch Huang was helped into Baohe Hall.
Yang Mo prepared to go to the consulting room and asked Eunuch Huang to sit down. Qin Chong and others brought salt water and golden needles.
Eunuch Huang raised his head and looked at the doctor and disciples of Baohe Hall standing on both sides. It was really not easy for Miss Yang to make a man obey orders so willingly.
Zhu Shan brought the maggots as if he were holding a treasure.
Seeing Zhu Shan's appearance, there was a burst of laughter in Baohe Hall.
Eunuch Huang couldn't help but be stunned, how could the atmosphere in a small Baohe Hall be so happy? He had heard that Miss Yang was going to use maggots to treat his illness. He was very nervous at first, but now he was relieved.
Zhu Shan cried sadly, "It took a lot of effort to grow it again. If the Qiao family hadn't taken them away, it would have been like this."
…
The atmosphere in Baohetang was relaxed, but the Qiao family was gloomy.
Mrs. Qiao's screams could be heard in the inner courtyard.
Qiao Yuechan was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, and she kept telling the servants around her, "Go and see when it will be better."
The mother in charge came back with a pale face and said, "I haven't recovered yet. Madam's illness has lasted for too long. The imperial doctor said that all the rotten flesh should be cut off. Madam is in severe pain. I saw it was all blood."
Qiao Yuechan immediately sat slumped in the chair, "What should I do?" Tears flowed down her face as she spoke, "Didn't the imperial doctor say it can be cured?"
The mother in charge didn't know what to say, "That was in the past, and now it's been so long..." In front of her eyes was the lady whose face was covered with blood. Not to mention what would happen after cutting off her nose, it was already very scary, Madam.
Halfway through the treatment, he refused to take any more treatment, pushed away his mother and ran out.
The steward mother shuddered thinking about it.
Or some women held the madam down by force...
The most important thing is that I don’t know if my illness can be cured after suffering so much.
Qiao Yuechan's eyes widened. Her life was very good. Her mother had asked her teacher to calculate her horoscope. She would already be rich in the future...
If anything happens to the family now, it is temporary and will definitely get better. My father will come back safe and sound, my mother will recover from her illness, the Chang family will be fine, Chang Yining will be admitted to the top exam, and she will marry with glory.
past.
It will definitely happen, it will definitely happen.
If something happens to her father and her mother becomes ill, what should she do?
"Miss, it's not good, my wife fainted."
Hearing these words, Qiao Yuechan felt that all the blood in her body was suddenly drained away. She supported the maid beside her before standing up, "Quick, let's go see mother quickly."
The servants in Mrs. Qiao's yard came in and out carrying things.
Qiao Yuechan opened the curtain and walked quickly into the inner room. In vain, she saw Mrs. Qiao lying on the kang with her face covered in blood and she didn't know who she was. Qiao Yuechan stood there in a daze.
