At the end of the examination, 4,500 candidates walked out of the Shuncheon Gongyuan one after another.

After nine days of torture, everyone was physically and mentally tired, some were depressed and some were happy. It's just that as soon as they stepped out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, they saw a group of brocade guards rushing towards them like wolves and tigers.

Nanzhili Xie Yuan Ding Shimei and Fujian Xie Yuan Lin Shizhang, these two celebrities were escorted into the carriage and taken away by a group of majestic brocade guards under their noses.

In addition to these celebrities, many candidates were also escorted into the carriage.

Many candidates gathered around to ask what was going on and why they were arresting their relatives and friends. It's just that these brocade guards just took people, but they didn't explain a word to them.

In the face of this high-level spy agency of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Jinyi Wei Zuo Du Governor Lu Zhi is deeply favored by the emperor, and the status of the Jinyi Wei is also rising, but their small people can only be bullied.

No one could have imagined that this trial had just ended, and such a disaster would be encountered.

Entertainment in this era is scarce, especially in the gap period of the list, and the people of the entire Beijing city seem to focus their attention on this strange thing all of a sudden.

That night, rumors flew in restaurants, teahouses and streets, and various versions followed. From their collaborators and betrayals to their prostitutes and their lack of payment, everything is there.

In other words, Lin Haoran was escorted into the carriage by Jinyiwei and transferred directly to East Chang'an Street. Stopping in front of a palatial yamen, a pair of stone lions in front of the door with fangs and claws are realistically shaped, revealing an eerie atmosphere.

The streets here are wide, the yamen is tall, and the blue-gray stone walls are known to be the middle and high-level yamen of the Ming Dynasty at a glance.

Lin Haoran thought that the daughter of an official family had invited him to the boudoir by such a roundabout means, but when a smell of rancid urine came to him, he knew that he was thinking too much.

He was taken into the intriguing prison of Fuji in Beizhen, a place where the living are said to enter and the dead go out, and after nine turns and eighteen turns, he came to a cell surrounded by logs.

The cell was about a dozen square meters, and it was empty, with straw on the floor and a slight smell in the air.

"Let's talk about it, can you let me clean the soles of my shoes before going in!" Lin Haoran said to the two brocade guards who escorted him, but his body involuntarily threw himself towards the door, and he almost fell to the point of.

Bang!

The door slammed shut, and then there was a clattering sound and it was locked.

It's so inexplicable that he became a member of the prison of Fusi in Beizhen, just because he stepped on a piece of shit. This is the inhumane feudal society, instead of looking for the dog, but I found the handsome him, I really thought he was handsome and easy to bully.

The environment in the prison is naturally not good, but compared with the number house of the Gongyuan, at least he can lie down here, which makes him quite satisfied.

Wipe your shoes on the left, then lie down on the grass pile on the right, with a straw in your mouth, thinking about your thoughts. It's just that he was puzzled that no one had come to interrogate him, and he seemed to have been forgotten.

But soon things changed, and in the afternoon, a group of people came in, and in the evening, another batch of candidates were sent in this time, all of whom were candidates who took the entrance examination this time, and it seemed that the cell was filled all at once.

Lin Haoran's cell alone was sent in more than ten people, and it was really overcrowded.

What made Lin Haoran feel relieved was that Yang Futian and Ning Jiang were also sent in, Yang Futian was in the same cell as him, but Ning Jiang was in the cell next door.

"I came in by shitting, what about you?" Lin Haoran chattered on a grass stamen, leaned his back against the wall inside, and asked lightly towards Yang Futian, who came over.

Yang Futian walked to Lin Haoran's side with a depressed face, sat down cross-legged and said, "After you reminded me, I seemed to have stepped on pigeon poop at that time!"

"Hey! Next time you walk, don't just look at the sky, but also look at the road in front of you! Lin Haoran sighed lightly and admonished earnestly.

"Senior brother is right, keep in mind below!" Yang Futian arched his hand, looking teachable.

Across a row of logs, Ning Jiang next door said angrily: "Hey! You don't really think that's the reason, do you? ”

"Then what else is the reason?" Lin Haoran turned his head and shook the grass in his mouth.

Ning Jiang frowned, and then said bitterly: "...... I don't know! ”

Yang Futian's nostrils snorted softly and raised his middle finger at him.

Lin Haoran initially thought that he had stepped on dog shit, but later felt that because he was too handsome, he just glanced around casually, and had to overturn all previous speculations.

There are them from Guangdong, Nanzhili, Fujian, Huguang, etc., which can be said to be from all over the world, and the only thing in common is the candidates who take the examination.

If it is normal to speculate, it will undoubtedly try to cheat, because only this incident can connect so many of them, and Jinyiwei has a reason to arrest them and his gang.

It's just that he knows in his heart that he didn't cheat at all.

What's more, when it comes to the level of the exam, how easy is it to cheat?

Even if he had that heart, he didn't have that kind of channel, let alone that ability. With his ability, let alone Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, even the concierge of his family may not be able to do it.

A second-rank member of the imperial court is only one step away from entering the cabinet, and even like Xu Jie, he goes directly from the Ministry of Rites to the second assistant.

What kind of price does it take to make this scholar of the Ministry of Rites abandon all fame and fortune and risk being beheaded to help you cheat?

It is precisely like this, Lin Haoran feels that the matter should not be in the trial of cheating, but if it is not this matter, what kind of case can involve a large group of them?

At the thought of this, Lin Haoran felt a headache, even if he was as smart as him, he was confused about the cause of the matter.

It's just that when they were caught, it was as if they had been forgotten. Supper was delivered on time, but nothing was said about their charges, and none of them were brought to trial that night.

The next morning, things finally took a turn for the better.

A red-faced man in a python robe appeared in the prison, and a group of people asserted their identities and immediately questioned why the brocade guard had locked him up here and let them out.

"Your crimes have been exposed, but now the Holy One is merciful, and those who can take the initiative to confess their sins will be dealt with leniently!" The red-faced man's fierce gaze swept over everyone, and then he arched his hand to the west, and added: "If the punishment is not severe, as long as you take the initiative to confess your guilt, you can get out of here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, as if he did not want to stay here for a moment.

But I saw a brocade-clothed guard looking at everyone, and said loudly: "Now the opportunity is in front of you, otherwise if you miss today, you will live the rest of your life in this prison!" ”
