Lin Jue frowned and looked at Lin Bonian, not feeling good in his heart. With-Dream- . He sensed that the matter must not have been settled by confessing his guilt. Otherwise, Lin Bonian would definitely not be this kind of performance. It must be difficult to be forgiven if he confesses his sins, so Lin Bonian will resolutely deny it.

Lin Jue's guess was right. Lin Bonian knew very well in his heart that he couldn't escape. If he pleads guilty, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although it will not involve the entire Lin family, it is certain that he Lin Bonian will lose his head. The reason why he knew the seriousness of the problem was that he would definitely not consider Lin Jue's suggestion.

"Second uncle, I don't know what to say. At the moment, I am still confused about this matter, and I don't know the depths. Besides, it's beyond my reach, so I can only offer advice. The second uncle has seen a lot of things, and he knows it in his heart, so the second uncle has to weigh the gains and losses by himself and think about it. If you need my help, please let me know. From my standpoint, the maintenance of the Lin family comes first. Lin Jue said softly.

Lin Bonian had no expectations for Lin Jue anymore, and originally expected Lin Jue to return from it, but now this road is impassable. Then this nephew is actually not of much help to himself. I have to hurry up and find a way to save myself, but I don't have time to waste time here with Lin Jue.

"Got it, I got it. There you go. I need to consult with you, and I will naturally consult with you. I'm so troubled now that I won't send you. Lin Bonian waved his hands and said.

Lin Jue sighed lightly and took his leave.

In the next two days, Lin Jue had a bad time. He locked up in the jujube orchard and tried to come up with a solution, but unfortunately, he found that he had no choice. The current situation is that Yan Zhengsu has found a lot of clues, and he will definitely not let go. If the second uncle refuses to ask for sin, it must be a very tricky matter. Therefore, Fang Dunru's second thunder participation will come soon. By that time, the evidence was conclusive and could not be denied. Lin Jue didn't know how bad things would be, but as a member of the Lin family, there was no doubt that Lin Jue would protect the heart of the Lin family. Even if Fang Dunru Xiaozhi said those words with righteousness that day, Lin Jue would not change his mind.

It's not that Lin Jue doesn't understand those big truths, but Lin Jue doesn't want to be a person like Yan Zheng and Fang Dunru. Lin Jue admires them, but he won't be them. For a traveler like Lin Jue, his own interests are above all else. What kind of loyalty, what courtier's righteousness, what kind of name goes down in history, etc., Lin Jue heard that it was the wind in his ears. Lin Jue just wants to protect his family, protect the people around him, and protect himself. As for how the Great Zhou Dynasty was, it was not within Lin Jue's scope of concern.

Maybe all this is related to the class status he is in, Lin Jue is still just a fart people, and he is far from worrying about the country and the people. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Funiu Mountain to help the people of Luoyan Valley gain a foothold. For a person of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was already a great rebellion. If Yan Zhengsu Fang Dunru knew that Lin Jue had gone to Funiu Mountain to do those things in the months since he disappeared, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger. Fang Dunru would never have bitterly uttered those words of encouragement. You must know that since Lin Jue's apprenticeship, it was the first time that Fang Dunru had spoken to Lin Jue in that tone, or even scolding, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

The two sides already seemed to be a dead end, and Lin Jue didn't think about going over to ask Lord Liang to see if there was a turnaround. But Lin Jue thought about it and felt that this way was not going to work. Guo Bing's power in the DPRK is not strong, after all, he is a prince far away in Hangzhou, and he has never had a chance to interfere in government affairs. If it was in Liangzhejiang Road, he would be able to cover the sky with one hand, but in the capital, he actually didn't have much strength. Maybe it's okay for the prince's name to bluff people, but when it comes to specific matters, he can't help.

Besides, with the shrewdness of Lord Liang, how could he be willing to meddle in this matter. On one side are the upstarts of the DPRK and China, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. On one side is Lin Bonian, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, who has little power. How to choose at a glance. It would be unwise to involve yourself in this case. This abacus, Liang Wang Guo Bing must be very shrewd. Even if you add yourself, the portion is not enough. Moreover, it has been six or seven days since Liang Wangye came to Beijing, and he didn't mean to see himself at all, and it seemed that he was estranged. That's not much more to say.

Lin Jue had never felt so helpless, although he had experienced many big scenes and experienced life and death many times. But in those things, he was just taking advantage of the situation, and his attitude of ignoring life and death helped him. But in this matter, there is nothing to borrow, and the courage of the horseman is useless, so there is no way to start. For the first time, Lin Jue felt the importance of power. If he leans towards the opposition at the moment, there will naturally be 10,000 ways to suppress this matter. It's a pity that I don't have anything at the moment. Even if it's high school, it's just a new science and technology advancement.

What's even more uncomfortable for Lin Jue is that it was Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru who made a move against Lin Bonian, both of whom are also people that Lin Jue respects, especially Fang Dunru, who Lin Jue regarded as his father in his previous life and in this life, Lin Jue was very speechless about this. It is impossible to say that there is no complaint in the bottom of his heart, but Fang Dunru is solemn and solemn, not about people, they are the entire Sansi Yamen, and what they do is what they should do as courtiers. But there is no reason to complain.

Lin Jue spent a few days in this anxiety, March passed quickly, and early summer in April also arrived quickly.

The change of seasons is really weird. Yesterday was March, it was late spring, and there was a clear sense of spring in the air. After a day, it was early summer, and all of a sudden, I felt the heat of the sun in the air, and the temperature suddenly changed to a hot pattern.

In the early morning, the morning glory on the backyard wall of the jujube garden used the last early morning dew time to bloom wildly, decorating the entire courtyard door with red, red, purple and purple. Honeysuckle is also in full bloom, and the whole yard is filled with the smell of flowers.

Lin Jue was standing under the porch in a thin summer shirt, and he already had a folding fan in his hand. He's going to go out for a walk. After all, it's not interesting to stay at home, he wants to go out for a walk, and by the way, go and see if his wife has come back from his relatives. At this moment, someone reported that there was a guest in the front yard and came to find Lin Gongzi.

Lin Jue came to the front house in the front yard, and there was a person standing under the eaves. When Lin Jue saw it, he frowned, and his heart was upset. The person who came was none other than Wu Chunlai. Wu Chunlai was wearing an ordinary long robe, dressed like an ordinary scribe, which was a little strange.

"Lord Wu, why are you?" Lin Jue frowned and exclaimed.

Wu Chunlai smiled and arched his hand: "Little junior brother is very surprised, isn't he?" You don't want to see this official, do you? ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Where is it." It's just that Lord Wu's dress makes people feel strange, and the cloth robe is not suitable for Lord Wu. ”

Wu Chunlai laughed and said, "Little junior brother, don't joke with me, don't I want to attract attention when I dress up like this?" You see, I'm a member of the court, and I'll be recognized on the street. I am one of the chief examiners of the Spring Exam, and the gold list has not yet been announced, so I appear in front of you, so don't I have to provoke criticism? ”

Lin Jue was stunned when he heard this, no wonder Wu Chunlai wanted to dress up like this, he was one of the chief examiners, and before the gold list was released, he should have been in the lock courtyard to review the answer sheet. Regardless of whether it is autumn or spring, all the main and deputy examiners and related persons are quarantined and do not regain their freedom until the results are available, which is a necessary system to prevent cheating. Wu Chunlai actually appeared in his house at this moment, which was obviously a violation.

"Lord Wu, I'm also wondering about this, what's going on?" Lin Jue frowned and asked.

"Little junior brother, this is not a way of hospitality, do you want me to stand under the porch and talk to you?" Wu Chunlai sank his face and pretended to be dissatisfied.

Lin Jue had no choice but to lead him into the small hall and let people make tea and serve it.

"Master Wu visited the Humble House, I don't know why he came?" Lin Jue asked.

Wu Chunlai took a few sips of tea with a smile, and did not answer Lin Jue's question directly, but talked about him left and right.

"Little junior brother, I misjudged you before. You are a truly talented person, and I have treated you with contempt before. Here, I sincerely apologize to you. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Wu Chunlai sighed lightly and said, "You understand in your heart, why do you need me to make it clear." This one...... In short, some of my previous actions were wrong, and I shouldn't doubt your strength. And you slapped me in the face with facts. Autumn is the first to solve the yuan, this time the spring is ...... Tsk, tsk, that's amazing. That day, the emperor inspected, and you saw it yourself. Not only did the emperor praise your answer sheet, but also Lu Xiang, Vice Minister Cheng, Vice Minister Qian, Yang Shumi, and the masters of the Hanlin Academy all boasted unanimously. It's like no other. To be honest, I pinched a sweat for you that day. But then it was a happy situation, and I was very happy for you. ”

Lin Jue smiled silently, he understood what Wu Chunlai meant, he thought that he needed help in the imperial examination, so he arranged for someone to cheat on him, but he actually didn't need his help at all, which made him a little embarrassed.

"I'm here today to congratulate you in advance. Well, it's a confidential matter, but I can reveal some of it to you. The marking and selection of the Spring University Examination ended last night. It's just that it still needs to be reported to the emperor for final approval. But that's just a procedure, and generally speaking, nothing will change. ”

"It's over? So fast? Lin Jue was surprised. You must know that the time from the end of the exam to the release of the list was nearly 20 days apart. And the Spring Exam has only been over for six or seven days, and the marking has already ended. This efficiency is much faster than that of the autumn squirrel. That is, at this moment, the fate of all candidates has been decided.

"Well, it's a few days sooner than the previous department. It takes ten days to go to the department, and it is two or three days faster today. However, the reason why there are a few more days in the department is often that there is more debate about the final rankings. Because each subject has some outstanding tribute students. Because of the similarity of knowledge, there is a lot of controversy about the top three positions in determining the champion list, so it is often necessary for the saint to decide. It is impossible for the Holy God to approve it in time, so it will be delayed. But this year is different, there is no need to go through this procedure this year, the candidates for the champion have been unanimously determined early, and the list of tanhua also has its own belonging, so it is a few days faster. The Holy Rites will make an announcement this afternoon, and the list will be published tomorrow afternoon. The dust has settled on this year's scientific expedition. ”
