"Prepare the car, go to the exam room!" Thinking of this, Ma Wensheng commanded.

"Yes!"

The military department exercises the ground.

"How's it going? If you find out, who dares to act so boldly? Ma Wensheng looked at the several officials in front of him and asked.

"Master Ma, I can't find out at all, these fainting servants don't know anything at all, they are just bought with money, although the bribes are very generous, but they are very mysterious, they don't see anyone at all." Several officials looked at each other and said with a wry smile.

"Are the hands and feet of those weapons and horses capable of doing it? Also, what about the main arrangement of weapons and horses? Didn't you let you interrogate him? Didn't ask why? Ma Wensheng tightened his eyebrows and said angrily.

"Don't dare to hide it, when we went to arrest him, the person in charge of the specific arrangement of weapons and horses had already committed suicide by taking poison!"

"What?" Ma Wensheng almost jumped up and killed people? He immediately thought of this idiom. This happened in the examination room where I was the examiner! His eyes were wide open to several officials.

"Don't worry, my lord, we have sealed this matter, and no outsiders will know about it!" Having said that, several officials were full of fear, looking at Ma Wensheng just waiting for him to decide, after all, there was a death in the martial arts examination room, and he was still a military director, and the matter was too big, they couldn't hide it at all, and they couldn't bear this responsibility, but fortunately, the examination room was heavily guarded, and they were only allowed to enter and not go out, otherwise the news would come out, and I was afraid that Master Ma would not be able to eat and walk around.

Ma Wensheng calmed down for a while, thought for a moment, and ordered, "Don't leak the news in advance, detain those errand servants first, and order your own people to guard them well, and there must be no more mistakes." After I have pleaded guilty to Your Majesty, I will make a decision!" ”

Everyone understands that this matter is very important, and they should say yes in unison.

"By the way, is the result of the candidate's results coming out?" Ma Wensheng looked at everyone, helpless, after all, they are not the Criminal Department, nor are they Jinyiwei, this torture matter is not their strength, professional matters should be handed over to professional people! Now let's just get down to business!

"It's out! It's up to the adults to decide! As he spoke, several examiners presented the summary results.

After Ma Wensheng took it, he sat behind the bookcase and took a closer look.

"Go, invite all the examiners, let's finalize it, Your Majesty urges me, tomorrow morning, I have to go and submit it!"

After a while, the examiners gathered.

Ma Wensheng looked around, "Everyone, you know!" There was a homicide in our examination room! ”

The examiners nodded their heads and admitted that originally, they were appointed as the examiners of the martial arts examination this time, and everyone was extremely excited, you must know that this martial arts examination is only held once in six years, and countless talents have emerged in this examination, presumably these people will definitely make a difference when they enter the army and officialdom in the future! At that time, he and others will be the examiners, and in the future, these people who are the top in martial arts will be their own students, and these are their own connections! But there was a homicide at the end of the exam, which is really unlucky!

Let's not talk about whether we can have the connections of officialdom in the army this time, just talking about this murder case, if we can't find out, I'm afraid that if we will be held accountable at that time, none of us will be able to escape. Therefore, everyone's mood is gloomy.

When Ma Wensheng saw this situation, he knew what these examiners thought.

He coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, although there was a murder in the examination room, it is not clear whether he killed or committed suicide now, and I will make it clear to Your Majesty, and presumably Your Majesty will not blame you too much." Moreover, I believe, with the wisdom of His Majesty, the cause must be found out anyway. Don't have a burden in your heart, after all, we are only responsible for the martial arts exam, and if there is a murder case, just find out, as long as it is not done by everyone, Ma someone is here as a guarantee, and he will definitely take responsibility alone, and he will not put everyone in trouble. ”

"Where did the adults come from?"

"How can you let the adults bear it alone!"

"We trust your lords!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed for a while, and they spoke one after another.

Ma Wensheng raised his hand, and everyone instantly returned to quiet, looking at Ma Wensheng quietly.

"Okay, don't say the kind words, Ma is the chief examiner, and if something happens in the examination room, I will bear it." Ma Wensheng looked around, paused, and said sharply, "However, I have something to say here, everyone's job is to be an examiner, and the duty is to select good talents for the imperial court in this talent ceremony, I hope you will put away some careful thoughts, be more serious, be more meticulous, first do a good job of this errand, and never let a good talent fail, otherwise, Ma someone will be the first to spare him, and find him unlucky!" ”

The examiners were shocked and looked at Ma Wensheng one after another.

"Of course, I don't care about some of your small actions before, but if you have a little calculation and careful thinking about this ranking level today, don't blame Ma for being polite!" Ma Wensheng looked around with a frightening look in his eyes.

The examiners who were swept by Ma Wensheng lowered their heads, and of course there were a few who did not bow their heads, but just looked at Ma Wensheng quietly.

"Okay, let's start deciding now, do you have any suggestions!" Ma Wensheng retracted his gaze and returned to the topic.

"Come on, take the exam papers!" Own examiner's instructions.

After a small trot, the errand officers picked up the results of the test papers that had been divided.

Ma Wensheng didn't say anything anymore, but just made a decision with the examiners one by one.

Throughout the night, the military department's martial arts exercise field was brightly lit, and the ranks of martial arts were studied all night.

However, the eyes of all walks of life in Beijing were all looking at this examination room, speculating on the results of this martial arts.

Finally, the sky was bright.

Ma Wensheng stretched his waist, sighed lightly, looked at the results of the test paper in front of him, and sighed in his heart, it was finally over!

"My lord, you better rest for a while!" The examiners stepped forward to persuade each other.

Ma Wensheng looked at these examiners in front of him, and smiled in his heart, these guys are really thieves!

Although, the grades are determined and ranked all night long, but among these examiners, there are inevitably those who want to do tricks, fortunately they have warned before, otherwise if these people tacitly do tricks and feet together, I'm afraid that I really can't find out!

As a result, I have also reviewed it many times and corrected some small details, otherwise, I am afraid that I will really have to make a few good talents fall off! Now, the results are out, I'm afraid that they are anxious to report the results to the master behind them, and see if they can do some remedial measures! No, they all came to persuade themselves to rest immediately, so as to buy time for them to send news out, and they really thought they were fools!

Ma Wensheng snorted coldly, "Your Majesty strictly ordered yesterday to report to him immediately when the results come out, do you want me to deceive the king?" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

"The villain doesn't dare!"

"Your Excellency misunderstood!"

The examiners came forward in fear to confess.

"Humph!" Ma Wensheng stood up and waved his sleeves, and ordered, "So-and-so, so-and-so, you follow me to return to Your Majesty." In addition, the door of the examination room is closed, and no one can leave the examination room without my order, or His Majesty's will. ”

The examiners were stunned, this is really ruthless, this is to confine us! However, they were speechless, after all, there was a murder, and Ma Wensheng was under great pressure, and this pretentiousness was also a gesture to Emperor Hongzhi, and it was also for their good! Nor can they speak to each other.

In this way, Ma Wensheng took the two examiners and the results of the test papers and went straight to the palace.

Ma Wensheng and the others had just left the examination room, but they saw countless spies rushing towards the Beijing division in all directions, sending letters!

Of course, it also includes the Ming family, the Li family, the Liu family, and other people related to the Ming family.

But this can't stop Ma Wensheng's footsteps.

In the imperial study, Hongji sat behind the dragon case.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Ni Yue and other ministers were already waiting on both sides.

Ma Wensheng led the two examiners, holding the results of the test papers and going straight to the dragon case.

"Your Majesty, the results of the martial arts test have come out, and I hope that Your Majesty will take a look!" Marven bowed down and asked for instructions.

"Bring it on!" Hongji raised his hand.

His own eunuch stepped forward to take the results of the test paper and put it on top of the dragon case.

"Ma Aiqing has worked hard! Throne! Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng and said with a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Marven bowed down and thanked him for sitting down.

Hongji lowered his head and looked at it, and for a while, the silence in the imperial study was terrifying.

And the ministers all looked at the page.

After all, those things that can be related to the fate of the candidates for this martial arts examination, the redistribution of forces in the army, and even more so are related to the layout of their families in the army, so they are extremely concerned.

Time passed second by second, and after a long time, Emperor Hongzhi raised his head, frowned, and looked at Ma Wensheng.

The ministers chuckled in their hearts, obviously, there was a problem with Marven's promotion, otherwise, Hongzhi would never be like this.

And the person with the strange mind looked at Ma Wensheng with a smile in his eyes, and a look of schadenfreude on his face, obviously, they wanted Ma Wensheng to be unlucky!

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Ni Yue frowned, looking at Ma Wensheng worriedly, obviously, they felt that Ma Wensheng must have angered His Majesty somewhere, and this time there was only a problem with the ranking.

And Li Dongyang was even more shocked, looking at Hongzhi and Ma Wensheng worriedly, is this situation good or bad for the Ming family students?

"Ma Aiqing, are you sure this is the final ranking?" Hongji asked in a calm tone, but the meaning of his words was full of doubts.

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, this is the unanimous decision of our examiners!" Ma Wensheng hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.

"Really?" Hongji's brows furrowed even tighter, and he opened his mouth to confirm.

"Exactly, the ministers will not miss the slightest!" Ma Wensheng cut the railway.

Hongji glanced at him deeply and raised his hand to signal, "Show you Aiqing!" ”

The eunuch passed on the results of the test papers one by one.

After reading it, Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang deeply and sighed lightly.

After Xie Qian finished reading it, his brows tightened, and he also glanced at Li Dongyang, but quietly handed it to Li Dongyang.

Seeing this, Li Dongyang hurriedly took it, looked down and looked, hey, he was stunned, turned it over as fast as he could, and then looked up at Ma Wensheng with a complicated gaze.

At the same time, he handed the results of the test paper to Ni Yue.

At this time, Ma Wensheng sat there calmly with an indifferent face, staring ahead, without saying a word.

Seeing the different expressions of the three elders, the ministers reacted differently, but all of them had the same thing, all of them set their eyes on Ma Wensheng, some were puzzled, some were worried, some were excited, and their expressions were different.

But after they read the results of the test papers, without exception, the expressions in their eyes changed.

"Alright, let's discuss! What are your comments on this list? Hongji saw that all the ministers present had finished reading it, and spoke.

At this time, Hongji's face was calm, and his tightly knit brows had already calmed down, but he just set his eyes on everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't want to be the first bird, and their eyes were all urging others to come forward.

Hongji saw that no one came forward, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"What? Are you all right? Still don't dare to say? Hongji spoke coldly.

Everyone was a little angry when they saw Hongji, and their faces tightened, it seemed that it was not okay for everyone not to come forward.

Minister Xie Qianchong gave a wink.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to it, on this list, are there too many candidates from the Ming family?" Finally, a minister stepped in.

Everyone's faces were relieved, as long as there was a bird, they looked at the person who spoke.

Yo! Isn't this someone from the Xie Family Front?

And Li Dongyang looked at him angrily, as if he was about to eat him.

On the other hand, Xie Qian saw that he nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes glanced at Hongji, obviously, he was observing Hongji's face, hoping to judge Hongji's attitude.

However, Hongji only slightly restrained his gloomy face, quietly looked at the minister who spoke, and then swept his gaze to everyone, obviously, he was not satisfied with only one came forward.

"Yes, the minister also thinks that there are so many candidates from the Ming family! It's all in the upper middle tier! "Another minister has stepped in.

Without waiting for the third minister to come forward, Li Dongyang couldn't sit still, yesterday, Wenyuan Pavilion was deliberating, he was a little aggrieved, he had never pushed off the messenger for Ming Zhongxin, and now someone actually attacked the Ming family's martial arts, which can no longer be endured!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since this list is provided by Lord Ma, please ask Your Majesty to let Master Ma explain to us why there are so many candidates from the Ming family on the list! It's the right way! Li Dongyang stood up and bowed to Hongzhi.

Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang and raised his eyebrows, a little displeased.

"Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable for the ministers to worry that there are too many candidates for this Ming family, after all, it is a big deal to do it for the country, and you have to be cautious! As far as I know, those Ming family students are all teenagers, even if they perform well on the field, I am afraid that they will only perform extraordinarily, and besides, this martial arts selection is to support the northern border troubles. As the old saying goes, one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, if these candidates are unstable and go to the battlefield, it is extremely dangerous, and at that time, I am afraid that it will affect the northern soldiers. Besides, is it too hasty to admit so many teenagers? Xie Qian came forward and said to Mai Mang.

"Master Xie, are you questioning the ability of our military department to select talents?" Without waiting for Li Dongyang to open his mouth to argue, Ma Wensheng stared at Xie Qian and spoke.

"This?" Xie Qian was a little speechless.
