Chapter 206 Exam Questions and Anonymous Letters
When Wang Fulin came out of the back door of the magistrate's magistrate's office and walked through the back street of the county, as soon as he knocked on the door, the two doors opened silently. After the doorman hired by Manager Xie had greeted him, he whispered.
"Little official, Xiao Dianli, the county magistrate, has arrived. The second girl asked the girl to serve tea and asked him to wait for you in the Ming Hall."
Last time Xiao Zhenyue found out that there was a suspected prison student next to Xie Tingjie and was in the middle of Wang Shangxuan's home, she didn't come, but just entrusted Liu Hui to pass the message when she came to have supper. At this moment, I would rather wait for him here, and this attitude obviously showed the seriousness. As far as Wang Fulin knows, this Xiao Dianli is not as lucky as Liu Hui's success, but now he falls to the bottom first and then turns over. He is not as strong as Wu Sili's gambler as he does not care about all his belongings, but he is very good at seizing opportunities and is very careful in doing things. So he is not afraid of being seen and coming here, so he must have something big.
When he stepped into the hall, he saw the scene of this absent-minded person holding a cup of tea. When he found him in, Xiao Zhenyue immediately stood up and stepped forward without saying a word and handed an envelope.
Wang Fulin, who received the letter, saw the envelope seal, but there was no sign of the letter. He opened the seal casually, took out the letter paper and glanced at him. There was nothing else written on the thin letter paper, only a simple and simple four-book title and a five-classic title. For him, who had been intensively trained by Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang for several days, at a glance, he immediately jumped out of his mind to solve the problem. Then he figured out the origin of this thing and then raised his head.
"I got it from a student at the prefecture. It was said that the Grandmaster had so many prefectures in this exam. The questions were prepared long ago. As long as he was willing to spend money, the people around him were willing to sell them." Xiao Zhenyue saw that Wang Fulin's face was subtle. He added. "Of course, this news is limited to a very small range and has not spread. If it weren't for me, I would have been considered old Xingming. I have been paying attention to the movements everywhere before, and I could not find these. Little official, what should I do if this thing is true or false?"
Wang Fulin looked around and looked at the letter for a while, thinking about whether this thing was true or not. If it was true, Mr. Fang would definitely not cooperate with fraud. But Mr. Ke, who is lazy but bad, would definitely be willing to rack his brains to write two good articles, and then ask him to pay him! But even if it is fake, it will not be useful at most when it is on the spot, that's all. So, on the surface, as long as he prepares these two questions, it will be beneficial and harmless no matter what. But the problem is, is that someone around Xie Tingjie greedily selling questions. Or is it something else?
Jin Bao's biological mother suddenly appeared and then made a fuss on the dock. It is very likely that someone else planned it to make the little guy lose his power, bear the burden of morality, and disrupt his pace, or have other purposes. And now this is like missing the question? Logically speaking, the person who got the question should not continue to reveal it, and he would only prepare himself as if he had the treasure. After all, when he arrived at the imperial examination, no matter how good his friend was, he would be his opponent, not to mention that this was not a glorious thing? At least, Xiao Zhenyue was not a student, and she could not be called a connection in the prefecture or county school. How could she get it so easily?
"If you talk about it carefully, how did you get this thing?"
Hearing Wang Fulin's question, Xiao Zhenyue recalled carefully when she got these two questions and whispered: "Because I heard someone say something about buying questions for the first time, I often go to a teahouse where students from the government often go to. Because I have been wearing Confucian scholars these days, many of them have entered the city these days, and others only think that I am here for the exam for the year. Today, two groups of people provoked each other and finally started fighting. A large group of people next to me went up to persuade me to fight and pull. I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but I just hit my desk, so I could only come out to stop people and be a friend. The beaten man almost broke his hand, and he was still scared, and thanked me for help. He asked me if I wanted to take the exam for the year. Of course, I said I wanted to, so he sold this thing to me for ten taels of silver and repeatedly told me not to tell it."
The more he said that, the more he felt that today's incident was a bit too coincidental. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is this little official saying that these two questions are fraudulent?"
"At this time, it is better to kill a thousand mistakes than to let one go." Wang Fulin thought of the matter discussed with Ye Junyao, and nodded to Xiao Zhenyue with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work these days, just a little bit of it, and you will show up every day. Okay, you go back to the yamen to do your business, otherwise Wu Sili will blame me for tossing his capable generals when he turns around!"
Xiao Zhenyue was suddenly discouraged when she thought that she had been struggling for a few days but didn't help. When she was about to say goodbye, what he didn't expect was that Wang Fulin even called someone and gave him ten taels of silver, saying that he could not let him spend money, and brought him four buns that Liu Hong had just steamed. He was both happy and upset about such courtesy, and he smashed his head hard when he went out.
After sending the person to the door, Wang Fulin thought of two questions and thought of his suggestion to Ye Dapao, and suddenly came up with a prank idea. He grabbed Xiao Zhenyue and whispered a few words in his ear.
"The most fierce people raised in the class room? Those are indeed unreal faces... In this way, I will go to the class room and find someone to do the matter."
After sending Xiao Zhenyue away, Wang Fulin simply came to the second floor. Because the county magistrate of the county magistrate was not spacious, Mrs. Su was packed with his family, so Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang both lived in his house, and they chose the second floor of the front yard indifferently, just across the railings on the second floor, opposite the door. At this moment, Mr. Ke, who was indulgent and lazy by nature, was still wandering outside but not coming back. When he knocked on Mr. Fang's door, there was a response sound inside as usual. When he entered the door, he put the letter paper directly in front of Mr. Fang. After a glance, the person showed an annoyed expression.
"What the hell is this?"
"There is one thing that I have to bother Mr. Mr. Since Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.
"He is in the officialdom and I am in the folk. As for him, he is still the backbone of the Taizhou School, so of course I know a little."
Mr. Fang answered a little vaguely, but when he saw Wang Fulin squint his eyes with a smile, he immediately remembered the scene when he saw him instructing his servant to give Ye Junyao a lecture on the education list and beat the lawsuit back. Although he was not so sure, he vaguely felt that the little official Wang, who was extremely good at playing tricks, seemed to have prepared another idea!
Hearing Mr. Fang's answer, Wang Fulin did not ask whether he had seen or not, but instead settled for the second best: "Is there anyone you both know and best to see?" This time, he finally got Mr. Fang's positive response and immediately laughed, "Since that's the case, it's easy. The Grand Master strictly guarded the locals, but he would never send a letter to the elders in the same school to far away."
In the afternoon, a tavern often visited by a student in Fucheng. The students were discussing the upcoming year exams in groups. A young man was shuttled between the crowd, holding wine and serving wine. However, while delivering the food, he would cleverly stuff something under the teapot every time. Suddenly, one table became quiet, followed by another table. In just three or five breaths, the tavern that was still chaotic just now became silent. The strange silence lasted for a short while, and finally whispers came from each table.
It took less time to go all the guests on the table and check out. I couldn't find an empty table in the tavern, but I saw that there were still many wines and dishes that had not been moved at all.
This situation not only happens in one store, but from afternoon to evening, similar situations occur in stores where many students often go. Although every student who gets the test questions is skeptical, most of them remain silent at the first time. After all, whether it is true or false, it is better to have less than more things. However, a small number of people with a strong sense of justice ran to the public school to express their feelings to the great master. However, Xie Tingjie, who was behind closed doors, would not meet people at such moments? They were beaten back at the gate.
In the evening, a letter was sent to the Fuxue School, and was appointed to send it to Xie Tingjie, a guest living in the Fuxue School, who was waiting for two days to gather in the Fucheng City to take the exam for the year. Because the sender claimed that he was from Jiangxi, he was sent by He Xinyin, He Fushan, who was famous in the Taizhou School of Wangxue, and there was an urgent matter of 100,000. Not to mention that the disciples dared not stop him, no one of Xie Tingjie's entourage and the two prison students he came down from dared to treat him carelessly. Even if the sender left after he left, the letter was given very seriously and submitted directly to Xie Tingjie.
However, Xie Tingjie, who was initially shocked, was stunned after opening the envelope and taking out the letter paper.
Not only was he stunned, but his face turned blue and white, and his hands holding the letter paper were still trembling slightly. Facing this scene, the two students who are familiar with famous people in the world all felt an indescribable emotion. No wonder He Fushan was called a heresy by others, which made the grandmaster who had always regarded people of the class as relatives and friends like this.
"It's too much!"
After being furious, Grand Master Xie suddenly brought a brazier and burned the letter clean. Thinking of Ye Junyao and Duan Chaozong coming to see him in the afternoon, he called someone to instruct: "Send the order. Two days later, the examination room must be ready. It should not rain. If there is no ceiling, there will be no ceiling! In addition, candidates from She County, Jixi and Qimen will take the exam at She County Academy Palace, Wuyuan, Xiuning and Yi County will take the exam at Huizhou Prefecture. On the day of the exam, I was in Huizhou Prefecture School in the morning, and in the afternoon at She County Academy Palace, Duan Fu Zunzhangchang She County Academy Palace, and Ye Magistrate visited Huizhou Prefecture School."
This is all the right thing to do, and everyone agreed and went to work hard. Xie Tingjie looked at the embers in the brazier and gritted his teeth as if he was cruel.
Should I believe the words in this letter?
