In the hall on the second floor of the drunken red mansion, some people are playing fists, some people are drinking, and some people are teasing beautiful women.

When Lin Haoran reappeared here, the living room was instantly quiet, and many scholars cast envious glances at him, including mocking glances.

He immediately understood what everyone was thinking, but he felt aggrieved in his heart. He wanted to explain, but he just went up there for a meal, and Oiran didn't say a word to him at all.

But when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it back, knowing that everyone would definitely not believe it.

When he returned to his seat, he heard two pieces of news that surprised him.

One is about the young scholar of Fang Cai, who turned out to be Wu Guifang, the right political officer of the Guangdong Political Division, a local official from Sanpin.

This Wu participated in politics can be described as a young man's ambition, at the age of 23, he won the second class jinshi, and then the official road was prosperous, with Yangzhou's achievements in resisting the Japanese and added his political capital, is a rising star in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it is very likely that the official will be the title of Shangshu in the future.

Another piece of news is that a new game has been born.

Yuexi's side won Dai Shuisheng's gang in the pair, and Dai Shuisheng's gang was very unconvinced and provoked their side. The two sides bet again, betting on the results of the township test, comparing the number of people at this wine table with those two wine tables.

Due to the relationship between numbers and strength, the people on the western side of Guangdong are one top three, and the other side is obviously full of contempt.

"Hugh be proud! In a few days, I see how many of you can laugh! Long Tengfei looked at Lin Haoran and looked over, and immediately said aloud hatefully.

Lin Haoran frowned slightly, and he had no confidence in this bet at all.

Although I learned in advance that these people had already opened the joints and got the word to clear the customs in advance. It's just that his ability is still very limited, and there is not much he can do except go to Jinyiwei to report it.

Now he is not sure whether this matter will eventually evolve into the protection of officials and officials, and this major fraud case has not been revealed in the end, and their gang has the last laugh.

It's just that then again, even if Jin Yiwei's side finds out the fraud case, it will be after the list is released, and I am afraid that I will have to lose face that day.

"When I understand Yuan, I'm afraid I'll also get the favor of Oiran!"

From the moment Lin Haoran walked into the lobby, Li Xueyi stared at him closely, his eyes were cold, and his heart was filled with a burst of vinegar.

However, he quickly relieved himself, this time he performed exceptionally in the township test, plus those clearance bytes, this solution is simply a sure thing. At that time, Oiran will also invite him upstairs, and even be a guest of the curtain.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xueyi raised his head and drank the wine, already looking forward to the release date as soon as possible.

Candidates can get drunk happily after the township test, but the examiner cannot, and even the beginning of the real test.

On this day, the sun was shining.

Under the stone bridge of Gongqiao, six examiners dressed in official uniforms of different grades stood there in an orderly manner, while behind them stood the Jinyi guards who supervised their examination papers.

Similar to the outer curtain, the inner curtain also has a strict system. These examiners do not have complete freedom, and they are also subject to the supervision of Jinyiwei, at least they are not allowed to contact the outside world, and they are not allowed to take half a step out of here.

After a while, the curtain officer hurriedly appeared at the other end of the bridge, bowed his head and gave the four examination papers to the sergeant, only glanced at this side, and then hurried away.

The sergeant sent the examination papers down, and the chief examiner, Yin Tai, took the four bundles of examination papers and led everyone back to the Caution Hall.

The Caution Hall is the office place for them to read the papers, and the six of them have to live in the Jukui Hall at the back, and they must eat and live here all these days.

Yin Tai placed four bundles of test papers on the desk in front of the statue of Sage Kong and performed a ritual.

"We are deeply favored by the emperor, presiding over the Guangdong Ding Si Enke Township Test, for the country's talents, should uphold the public heart, do not engage in favoritism - if you violate this heart, the gods will die together!"

"If you go against this heart, the gods will die together!"

The chief examiner, Yin Tai, swore to the statue of Sage Kong, and the other five examiners also swore an oath, which is the rule before the township examination is marked.

"Come up and get the roll!"

There are a total of four copies of the examination papers sent, and each examiner will take one copy, which is determined by lottery.

The chief examiner, Yin Tai, and the deputy chief examiner, Zhang Mu, returned to the hall of the martial arts hall and sat down in their respective positions. The two of them are not responsible for marking the papers, and they follow the outer curtain similarly, and the inner curtain also has a set of processes.

The marking of the inner curtain can be summed up in one sentence: go to stay in the same exam, and go to the main exam.

The four same examiners are responsible for reviewing the more than 2,000 examination papers, and the examination papers selected by them are called "recommended papers", but the examination papers that are not selected are called "falling papers". The "recommended paper" was handed over to the deputy examiner Zhang Mu, as if he thought the exam paper was okay, so he wrote the word "take".

These "take" character test papers will have the opportunity to go to the examiner Yin Tai, and the chief examiner Yin Tai feels that the test paper is okay, so he writes the word "medium" on the test paper, and the one who wins the test paper is produced.

Of course, the examiner actually has one more power, that is, to "search" more than 2,000 test papers.

You can bypass the deputy examiner and the same examiner, directly select some desirable test papers in the "drop paper", and directly finalize these test papers as the "middle paper".

Yin Tai sat in front of the big case, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was pretending to sleep, but his thoughts turned to the current situation. If the Ming Dynasty has discovered any major events in recent years, it is undoubtedly the fall of the official department Shangshu who followed Yan Hao's wrist wrestling.

Jiajing was an emperor who was good at manipulating power, and during his 36-year reign, he changed 22 first assistants, and Yan Hao also had ups and downs. It's just that Jiajing doesn't seem to be at ease with Yan Hao, so in the selection of the secretary of the Ministry who controls the personnel, he uses Li Mo of the Qing School.

It is with Jiajing's support that Li Mo is definitely tougher than ordinary officials, and he also has a lot of capital, he is the teacher of Lu Shan, the leader of Jinyiwei.

Relying on this political resource, he raised his butcher's knife against officials in Beijing, and last year he carried out a mighty "Beijing inspection," laid off a number of redundant officials, and even began to build up his power.

Some old protégés were taken care of, especially in the selection of the extremely powerful governor of Zhejiang, Li Mo defeated Yan Hao and elected Wang He, the right attendant of Nanjing's household department.

An official who retired in Nanjing actually sat on the throne of the local governor of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places in one fell swoop, presiding over the most important anti-Japanese affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Mo's big move immediately shocked the government and the opposition, and made the Qingliu people in Nanjing see hope.

Yin Tai also regarded himself as a clear stream, so he was very excited at that time, thinking that the imperial court was going to set things right, the strict party would fall, and the clear stream would be prosperous. Because of his relationship with Li Mo, he also sees the hope of returning to the center of power, and even has the opportunity to become a cabinet elder in the future.

Yin Tai clearly remembered the scene of Wang He's practice that day, when a group of Qingliu officials sent Wang He to Shili Pavilion, everyone had infinite expectations for the future, and everyone seemed to see the hope of being reactivated.

It's just that the situation is changing so fast, like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads. Li Mo, who was deeply affected by Long's grace, suddenly collapsed, was sent to prison, and then died inexplicably.
