However, it was said that the leakage of the test questions of the Guide Government suddenly caused a wave among the people.

In a society where merit determines class, any time there is a malpractice case related to the imperial examination, it is the most eye-catching, especially the attention of local scholars.

If the magistrate does not operate well here, it is easy to clear his name and ruin it for the rest of his life. Without the support of Shilin, there will be no clear hope, and the fate of such an official is worse than offending the Son of Heaven.

And the leaked test questions of the Guide Mansion were spread like this.

First of all, several students said conclusively that they had already seen the exam questions before the government exam. Then the news spread among the students in the house, and then reached the ears of the Confucian children who participated in the government examination this time.

At this time, the government examination has not yet been released, and most Confucian children are waiting for the news of the release of the list, but as soon as the news came out, everyone immediately knew about it.

Then on the day of the release of the list, as soon as the rankings came out, there was an uproar.

You must know that there are more than 1,200 Confucian children in the government examination, but only 50 are selected, and there are more monks and less porridge, and how many scholars have studied for ten years just for this place.

But as soon as the list came out, no matter whether these Confucian children were self-aware or not, but when they saw that there was no name on the list, they were disappointed and unhappy in their hearts, and all kinds of emotions were mixed in it.

In addition, as soon as the previous exam questions were leaked, many candidates were immediately dissatisfied.

Before the list now, there are countless Confucian children who are watching the list.

Seeing that there was no name on the list, one person complained with his classmates on the left and right: "What government test, what fame, are all monopolized by those people, where is there any hope for the children of our Han family." ”

"Hey, I heard that Lin Futai took the scholar before, and we all thought that with the ability of Futai, we would definitely be able to discern the pearls, but why did this government test become like this time?"

"Lin Futai may not have the intention of favoritism, but he was careless for a while and let the people below leak the exam questions, although he had the heart to recruit talents and win scholars for the country, but the people below secretly colluded and turned this hall test into a business."

"You know what? I heard that you can buy the questions of the government exam for twenty taels of silver. ”

"My cousin is an attached student of the county school, and he said that a few days before the government exam, someone came to him with the questions of the government exam. This person is a well-known gentleman in his county, who doesn't learn and can't even memorize four books, but suddenly took the question and asked him how to solve the problem and how to write a high-quality essay. ”

"Originally, I didn't believe in it, but now, Lin Futai is kind, but the people below are just messing around."

"yes, these people messed up this government test."

Many Confucian children were so agreeable and excited.

At this moment, there was a commotion next to the list, but I heard someone say: "Look, today's government will post all the selected articles on the wall, and everyone will watch one or two." ”

As soon as the news came out, all the Confucian children who fell off the list flocked away.

The noise made several scholars in shirts put down their teacups in the teahouse next to the mansion.

"What's the matter with Uncle Zhang?"

An old servant said to the reader who was sitting at the top of several people: "Young Master, I heard that Fuzun will release the Chinese chapter for everyone to evaluate to show fairness." ”

"Oh?" The scholar smiled, touched the jade wrench on his finger with his hand, and said, "Lin Sanyuan's hand is clever, with his fame, he released the list, but no one dared to question his vision." ”

"This is Wenzong's reputation!"

The scholar couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

Several others said: "Elder Brother Meng, don't sigh here, if you really settle this matter for Lin Sanyuan, I will not only work in vain, but also lose my life!" ”

"How?" The reader asked, fiddling with his fingers.

This person sighed and said: "I listened to your words before, and took out the family's silver and bought it by the Jialu River. ”

"I'm borrowing debts with my whole family now, holding those uncountable land deeds, I can't take the land here, I can't sell it there, and the creditors are going to come to the door."

The scholar immediately reprimanded: "I told you not to be greedy, to buy a few acres with your Xu family's financial resources, and dozens of acres of marinated fields, who told you to mortgage your own acres of land and house to borrow money to buy it?" Now that something has happened, you are to blame me? ”

Seeing this, the scholar hurriedly smiled and said: "My good Meng Wei, who doesn't know your reputation for being impatient and righteous, you were also for our brothers in the first place, how dare I blame you." ”

"It's just that a few of our brothers, which family doesn't have hundreds of acres or thousands of acres of fields, and the matter of dredging at the beginning, Brother Ge, Brother Yu remembered your words, and also ordered someone to go to the county to collect the land immediately, but it was easy to say it, and even used a forced land to collect it from those old hats, coaxing people to sign and draw a mortgage, but the ban of the government made them do nothing."

"Right now, you're not helping me, you're helping our brothers!"

After speaking, several people pleaded with this scholar named Meng Chang.

"Chief Meng, your uncle is a big official in the imperial court, and you are the first knowledgeable among us, and the adults in the family have told us that this time they will listen to you."

The scholar shook his head and said, "You guys don't have a good heart, let me come out." ”

Everyone knows that this person is detailed, and the other party is a member of the Guide family, with tens of thousands of acres of land at home, and the land tax is spread on the heads of ordinary people by sprinkling tricks on weekdays.

This time, after he knew that Lin Yanchao was going to dredge the Jialu River, he remembered the previous incident of his diversion of yellow and siltation, and immediately paid attention to inquiring in the yamen.

Although the news was blocked in the yamen, it was impossible for such a big matter to have no clue at all, and then he analyzed from the clues that Lin Yanchao wanted to use the dredging of the Jialu River to lead the yellow and silt, and this time it was a big conclusion.

Although he was only a few percent sure, he still took the opportunity to buy more than 3,000 acres of land by the Jialu River in advance by low prices or by forceful buying and selling.

To be honest, this person is also very business-minded and far-sighted, and he is also very righteous, and he can't swallow any money when he makes money, and he also builds bridges with his friends.

But who knew that as soon as the news of Lin Yanchao's order to prohibit the sale of land deeds came out, more than 3,000 acres of land were smashed into his hands at once.

The land deed they signed when they bought the land, that is, the date on the white deed, was invalid after the time limit set by the government.

If you want the people to re-sign the land deed, you must wait until the government recreates the yellow book, which will be delayed until at least a few months later, when the dam is together, everyone knows the value of the land, and the people can't be coaxed, if they are forced, it is easy to provoke civil unrest and cause the government to intervene.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao's move can be said to have moved the big cake of the local heroes.

Taken by Lin Yanchao's prestige, this person didn't think of finding someone to dredge up in the yamen, and even asked his uncle to come forward, but he heard that Lin Yanchao didn't even sell the face of the Shen family in the Defu Mansion, and then he broke off this idea.

After that, he came forward to contact everyone and planned the case of fraud in the imperial examination first.

But seeing the other party standing by the window for a moment, he said: "I know your thoughts, it's okay for me to take the lead, but taking the lead is not the same as coming out." You will handle this lawsuit. ”

"After all, the uncle and Lin Sanyuan are officials in the same dynasty, and I went to fight a lawsuit, and the uncle didn't look good. So you have to put up a head, if you are held accountable by Lin Sanyuan, you can't bite me out, I won't admit it at that time, how about it? ”

These people looked at each other for a while, and one of them smiled and said: "No problem, I have a wide range of friends, and I know a lot of classmates in Fuxue County School, find a few people, give them some money to fight a lawsuit for us, and a few people who are stunned, go to their ears to talk about it, talk about it, and let them come forward to make trouble." As the so-called son of a daughter can't sit down, although there is a skin to protect him, but Lin Sanyuan even dares to kill Ma Yu, and he can't do anything, in short, we can sit back and enjoy his achievements. ”

When this man finished speaking, everyone laughed.

The reader at the head of this one smiled and said, "Then why are you waiting to see the list!" ”

So everyone walked down from the teahouse, and they didn't know that their every move fell on the eyes of several people.

After they went downstairs, one of them immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the mansion, while the others continued to watch.

At this moment, under the escort of Haonu, several scholars squeezed away the scholars who were watching the list and came to the top of the list.

At this time, all the Confucian children crowded in front of the list for a while, and everyone was not convinced by the list, and commented on the Chinese-style article for a while, and then took their own articles to confirm it.

However, after discussing for a long time, although these Confucian children did not admit it in their hearts, they had to say that the level of these fifty articles was still much higher than that of others.

What's more, there are Lin Yanchao's comments and annotations next to each article, and it is clear whether it is good or not.

The scholars who came down from the teahouse stopped and looked at each list for a while, unlike other Confucian children who fought to see the list.

After reading it, this person sighed: "I have been reading poetry and books for 20 years, and I think that my talent is not under the reputation of readers, but today I see Lin Sanyuan's literary talent, and I know that I am not even one-tenth of him." ”

The others smiled and said: "Senior Brother Meng, didn't you say that you will never be a book worm looking for chapters and sentences again, but have the ability to apply it to the world?" You shouldn't be able to look down on these trails! ”

The scholar Meng Chang shook his head and said: "Although it is not, but it has been immersed in this Tao for decades, and you can see whether it is good or bad." If I can worship under Lin Sanyuan, the article will be guided by him, and I will not fail the three township tests. ”

"Don't mention the things of the year, let's talk about the right thing, there is a question in the Five Classics, worship the bell and drum as the festival, you see how to write the ring word to me!"

After a few moments, the man was rewarded and walked away.

Soon there was a humane among the readers: "You see, this ring worship is based on bells and drums, why this ring word, these people do not write the word Wang Yuan, but simply write the ring, there is nothing greasy in it!" ”

"That's right, I and other ordinary people are all books as Wang Zhen, why are these Chinese-style scrolls written in ring characters?"

"Yes, they must have passed through the joints and made a code on the scroll."

When the readers heard this, they were all angry.

"Lord Futai must be deceived by his subordinates, no, we have to go to Lord Futai, please retake the government exam this time!"

"Retake the exam!"

Countless Confucian children raised their arms and shouted.
