Wang Hua's face was pale, he was so evil. This is this son, who is so smart, but since he was a child, he didn't like to read. When he was a child, he asked someone to teach him the Four Books and Five Classics. He told people, "The imperial examination is not the most important thing, the most important thing in the world is to study and be a sage." People study eight-legged essays every day, but he went to read the military strategy; when they got married, they were in the bridal chamber, and they were having fun. On the day of their marriage, the person disappeared, and their family went around to search, and found that this guy was actually learning to meditate with a Taoist.

Wang Hua was the top scholar, and suddenly realized that he had a lifetime of wisdom and was ruined by such a loser. Later, Wang Hua had no choice but to do anything else, and he only wanted to be a Jinshi, which was considered a shameless family. Wang Shouren was really good at picking up the book and reading it. Although he often did not do his job, he shone directly in the imperial examination and ranked fourth.

"Oh..." Wang Hua sighed: "Don't provoke that Fang Jifan. This person is idle in the Zhanshi Mansion. He always follows the prince and makes trouble. Although he has taught a few good disciples,..."

"My son knows."

knew……

Wang Hua's face was very wrong. He didn't know what kind of personality this son is. He said he knew, and he had sex with someone.

Why……

A sigh.

A lifetime of heroic reputation...

Wang Hua... After all, he is the clear stream among the clear stream, a morally flawless model, a role model for scholars and officials, and a representative of the five carts of knowledge.

Why did you teach such a prodigal thing?

…………

Warmhouse.

When an impeachment memorial was sent to the warm-up hall, Mou Bin, commander of the Jinyiwei, summoned the palace to the palace.

Mou Bin is an honest man, so during his tenure, the Jinyiwei was not arrogant, and His Majesty obviously did not like the prison. Instead, he was closer to the civil servants. This sudden call made him feel upset.

Immediately, an impeachment memorial was thrown at his feet. What greeted Mou Bin was Emperor Hongzhi's solemn face.

Mou Bin was busy picking up the impeachment memorial and was shocked.

Hua Chang impeached the chief examiner Cheng Minzheng and sold questions, and Xu Jingren and others. The memorial also said that Xu Jing, a rich man from Jiangyin, received the test questions for bribes, and the city was full of rumors.

The fraud in the imperial examination is such a big deal, and no matter how small it is, it cannot be ignored. Since someone impeaches it, it will definitely not be groundless.

Emperor Hongzhi had a stern face. He was always tolerant, but at this time he just squeezed out a word from his teeth: "Check!"

"Abide by the order!"

…………

Although he won the third place in the imperial examination, Tang Yin couldn't be happy at all.

He lost.

Lost completely.

Thinking of this irreconcilable enemy who actually wanted to take him as his teacher, it was even more uncomfortable than killing Tang Yin.

He locked himself in the inn, either drinking or... he couldn't get up in a daze, and his tears were soaked in his clothes.

In the past few days, Tang Yin has gained a lot of sympathy. In any case, he has become a tribute scholar when he is the third in the exam. If he performs normally in the palace exam, he will definitely be ranked first and the future will naturally be bright.

But even so, the whole capital still had sympathy for him, being beaten unrecognizable, and being humiliated by Fang Jifan, which was so cruel to a scholar.

Many people have already heard that even if Tang Yin breaks his trust and does not practice the bet, it will not affect his reputation.

After all, things are urgently followed. Could it be... Is it really necessary for the talented man from Jiangnan to be insulted by Fang Jifan?

However... Tang Yin is still in the most dilemma. If he goes to become a disciple, this irreconcilable enemy will call him his mentor. It would be better to let Tang Yin die. But if he doesn't become a disciple, even if no one blames him, many people understand, but their hearts are uneasy in the end.

He was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to die at this moment.

In the early morning, someone came, and the person who came was a servant in a green hat. He had seen Tang Yin and said, "The young Fengyou Censor Liu Chenen came to pass on a message. Lord Liu, also from Wu County, is also a fellow villager with Mr. Tang. Now Mr. Tang has encountered difficulties. Lord Liu empathizes with him. If there are any problems, he can go to Liu's mansion. Lord Liu is on duty in the Censorate. If Fang Jifan forces Mr. Tang to become a disciple, Lord Liu will not stand by. There are dozens of officials in Yingtian Prefecture, and he will never sit idly by and watch Mr. Tang be humiliated."

Tang Yin nodded in a complicated manner and sent the person away.

He has heard of this elder Liu Chenen. The Right Censor is definitely not a small official. He is a third-ranked magistrate. He unexpectedly took care of this idiot.

Yes, when this bet was set, who would have thought that this situation would be?

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Tang Yin was beaten and Tang Yin lost the gambling game. This happened under the noses of many people. Now that Tang Yin is going to become a disciple, it is a humiliation under the crotch.

There are many people who secretly come to encourage Tang Yin, not only Liu Chenen. I think many people can't sit still and can't stand it, and they feel a sense of justice.

Most scholars outside also believed that Tang Yin would definitely not become a disciple.

Tang Yin hated Fang Jifan in his heart. In his worldview, people like Fang Jifan were really a shame for mankind.

In the evening, he was still in his heart.

But at this moment, the voice of the shopkeeper in the inn came from outside: "Tang Jieyuan, Tang Jieyuan, it's not good, it's not good."

Tang Yin hurriedly opened the door and saw the shopkeeper panting, "What happened? Something big happened. Tang Jieyuan, are you having a good relationship with Xu Jing?"

"That's right." Tang Yin calmed down: "I don't know what to see."

The shopkeeper looked at Tang Yin with sympathy: "Just just now, I heard that Cheng Minzheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jing were involved in the case of selling questions in the current imperial examination. The palace had issued an order to investigate thoroughly. Just early in the morning, the Jinyiwei had been dispatched to capture Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing. The two were locked and taken to the Nanzhen Fushi. In less than an hour, news came out that they confessed to the sales questions... It is said that Xu Jing visited Cheng Minzheng and bribed Cheng Minzheng in the name of seeking the words. Therefore, Cheng Minzheng leaked the test questions to him..."

"..." Tang Yin was instantly struck by lightning.

Brother Xu cheated...

Scholars have privileges in the Ming Dynasty. As long as they don’t make too much trouble, officials will turn a blind eye to each other. After all, they are the pride of heaven, and the court will try their best not to do anything that is insulting.

But once the imperial examination fraud case is involved, it is completely different.

He gasped, Cheng Minzheng and Brother Xu...

He still remembers that when Brother Xu repeatedly invited him to visit Cheng Minzheng, even on the night when Fang Jifan beat him, he planned to go to Cheng's mansion.

If...there was not a beating, then what would happen to me?

At that time, he would definitely have something to do with Cheng Minzheng like Brother Xu. He even remembered that Brother Xu and himself asked for a book, and Brother Xu himself admitted that it cost 300 taels of silver to pay for money. Unexpectedly, this... became ironclad evidence of selling the title.

Suddenly, he felt that his back spine was cold. If he had gone that night, if he had not been beaten out of recognition and could not get up. Then... that night, he would have been appreciated by Cheng Minzheng like Brother Xu. Since then, he would have been in Cheng Minzheng every now and then, like Brother Xu, asking Cheng Minzheng for a calligraphy piece in the name of elegance. After all... this is a hidden rule. People do this, will he be free from the vulgarity?

Once you fall into that dyeing vat, there is no way to go.

So, today the Jinyiwei wants to lock it is not just Cheng Minzheng, nor is it just Brother Xu, but also himself?

He didn't believe that Brother Xu would sell questions. Brother Xu was a very conceited person and was full of knowledge. Since he had the ability to take the exam questions, why did he buy the exam questions? This must be because Brother Xu and Cheng Minzheng were too close and were finally impeached. In addition, the relationship between the two was unclear. Once they were checked, there was too much article to do.

Tang Yin shivered. He was worried that Xu Jing in the prison would feel strange again...

If Fang Jifan hadn't found him, if this guy hadn't beat him up, if this guy hadn't let him get out of the ground, if he hadn't sent someone to stare at him and released rumors about the gambling game, he would... be dead.

The Jinyiwei's methods were enough to make the dead confess. Brother Xu was admitted to the imperial prison. He confessed in less than an hour?

Once you reach that point, it is called "The Heaven is not suitable, the Earth is not effective, and all pride and all futures are destroyed, and even implicated in the family.

Fang Jifan... became his life-savior...

Even if this is just Fang Jifan’s unintentional intention to plant willows, but... this is a fact...

Tang Yin sat on the chair with a depressed butt, took a breath, and looked at the cardamom candlelight in the room with his eyes blank...

Early the next morning.

Although it is spring, it is still snowing.

Tang Yin was dressed in a fresh dress, and even cleaned the short beards under his jaws. After that, he prepared bacon, longan and other items and walked out of the inn.

The inn shopkeeper had just gotten up and saw the newly promoted tribute scholar going out. It was early in the morning and said, "Where is Mr. Tang?"

Tang Yin smiled faintly: "Add to be a disciple."

When I heard about my apprenticeship, the shopkeeper was shocked.

But Tang Yin had already left the door and walked through the snow.

Arrive at the door of Fang's house.

Looking at the golden painted sign, Tang Yin took a deep breath, then bowed to the snow in front of the door, without moving at all.

The snowfall fell and hit his eyes and nose. The scarf he wore was soon covered with a thin layer of snow.

When the person who was walking on the road early in the morning saw this scene, he thought to himself that the prodigal son surnamed Fang had been tormenting again. He thought that this was a servant from the Fang family kneeling here to be punished, but after a closer look, someone vaguely recognized Tang Yin.

"It's Tang Gongshi..."

Tang Yin didn't say a word, but just knelt here straight.

It’s a life-saving grace, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it doesn’t matter. Being a human being... one must be grateful for it.

He knelt down until someone in the Fang family got up. As soon as the door opened, he saw the scene in front of him. His chin fell off, so he hurried to the mansion to report.
