Chapter 235 The mastermind of the first imperial examination fraud case in the Great Sui Dynasty
After a group of scholars came in, Yang Mo counted about more than twenty people, and Ma Zhou together, everyone had a characteristic: thin and yellow face.
It’s normal. I’m so poor that I can’t even afford to read books. Where can I have spare money to ensure my daily meals and drinks?
But he was in good spirits. He held his head high and his chest out, followed Ma Zhou and Li Yichen to Yang Mo, bowed and bowed together, saying thank you Mr. Yang.
Yang Mo waved his hand and signaled that they didn’t have to be so polite. Then he turned around and looked at Old Man Zhang and said, “Taigong Zhang, in addition to the compensation of 100% per person, there should be no problem to invite everyone to have a drink together today.”
One hundred stakes?
And it’s one person who has one hundred stakes, one hundred stakes, and twenty stakes are just two thousand stakes?
Although the old man donated a lot of money and materials on weekdays, every bleeding will be rewarded with corresponding or more.
But this time I just filled it in. Two thousand guan is nothing to him, but this kind of loss-making business is very painful.
Changsun Wuji also smiled bitterly from the side, and Yang Mo, the prospective son-in-law of the Li family, followed suit.
He just skipped and discussed the feasibility of detaining Zhang Gui in prison with him. Now he has also skipped the matter of discussing compensation with Zhang Taigong.
It can also be regarded as a kind of ritual exchange.
"This Young Master Yang is not a master who can suffer."
Changsun Wuji was a little afraid and kept this in mind. If he dealt with Yang Mo in the future, he must be careful.
"No problem, no problem, of course there is no problem."
Old Man Zhang's heart was bleeding, but he still had to laugh with him, nodded and responded, as if I had taken advantage of him.
"Okay, store!"
Yang Mo climbed up the pole and raised his hand to greet the shopkeeper who was already full of food.
The shopkeeper responded quickly and ran over.
After this incident, he did not dare to neglect this Young Master Yang at all.
Good, Zhang Taigong and others are among the best people in Luoyang City. After living in Luoyang City for so many years, how could they have ever suffered such a big loss?
Not only do you suffer a loss, but you also have to smile - the aristocratic family is the most important thing in terms of face.
Today is really eye-opening and insightful.
"According to the standards of our tables, we will open six more tables."
Yang Mo waved his hand, and the poor scholars around him all smiled happily.
The first time they came in, they were so greedy that the food was filled with the whole room. They bit their tongues one by one and held back their saliva.
Now that I have been free for a hundred stakes, I can still eat at a table with a beautiful meal, and the only dissatisfaction in my heart has disappeared.
After all, I am a scholar. Although I have not been beaten by society and officialdom, I know it is amazing.
Just now, Xun Yu testified to Zhao Pu, saying that Zhao Pu had never seen outsiders along the way.
This shows that the Luoyang family did not collude with Zhao Pu - or it was not too late.
Since there is no evidence, the so-called testimony of Zhang Gui and others has no previous power.
This matter has become a big deal or small deal.
The reason why it is so big is that the testimony can really be sent to the court, and the court will definitely not let it go.
The reason why they said it was so small - they also knew that until now, no one in Luoyang would hand over this testimony to the court, and even Yang Mo would not be able to.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but I finally breathed a sigh of anger.
Zhang Taigong and others suffered a loss and could only laugh.
But he cursed in his heart: "These poor scholars have only more than twenty people in total. They can open two tables and squeeze them in as soon as they are squeezed. If they can open six tables, they won't be killed by them?"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and asked the waiter to ask the scholars to sit down and go to the kitchen to prepare meals themselves.
"Sir Changsun, I want me to tell you that today, Lord Zhao should have students from Baima Academy to welcome him, just in time."
After everyone sat down with a smile, Yang Mo looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile and said.
"You know a rude."
Changsun Wuji complained in his heart, but nodded repeatedly: "Young Master is saying."
"But Baima Academy has a Qingyuan and a Guizhou Academy. Now only the students of the Qingyuan are here. Without the students of the Qingyuan Academy, it is not beautiful after all."
Yang Mo's next words made everyone frown, and they all guessed what he was going to do.
The heads of the aristocratic families who originally thought that this matter was revealed were also stunned and looked at each other: Damn, what else does this Yang family want to do?
Could it be that you still want to let us go?
If this is true, it would be a bit too much!
A smile appeared on his face, wanting to see what Yang Mo was going to do.
Li Shimin was also very curious about what his brother-in-law wanted to do.
Just now, Yang Mo secretly said to him, not only did he not disgust Li Shimin, but he liked his personality a little.
"What the young master means..."
Changsun Wuji was good at judging people's hearts and paused: "Do you plan to call Zhang Gui and others?"
Naturally, he could not mention the word "Youth Court".
"Yes, as the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than formed. Besides, today, Zhang Taigong and others suffered a loss. It's okay for me to be in Luoyang. Once I leave, with the aristocratic families, I'm afraid I will retaliate against these Qingyuan students even more... "
Before Yang Mo could finish his words, Zhang Taigong and others' faces were all numb, and they wanted to cry without tears. They wanted to defend themselves, but Wang Ying did not give them this opportunity and interrupted: "Brother is right. I was born in a noble family since I was a child. I know the dirty things in this noble courtyard. I can guarantee that as long as we leave, they will definitely take the money back."
Wang Ying put his waist on his back and said, "I can't say I'll ask them to pay for today's meal."
Zhang Taigong and others could only smile bitterly. In the past, they only heard that there was a young head of the Wang family in Taiyuan who was an absolute demon king.
I saw you today and it was indeed worthy of your reputation.
Everyone is a noble family, why bother to put down the wrong things at this moment?
"Please rest assured that Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang are here. With this official, you can guarantee that such a thing will never happen."
As the governor of Luoyang, Fang Xuanling had to come out as a security guard at this time.
"If you have Lord Fang's words, you'll feel relieved. Just in time, Lord Changsun invites the students of your college to come together to welcome Lord Zhao."
Yang Mo looked at Li Shimin and said, "In front of the second son of Li, let the two families turn war into jade."
"That couldn't be better."
Li Shimin also gave Yang Mo face and agreed with a full voice, looking very supportive.
Although Ma Zhou and others were a little reluctant, since Yang Mo had spoken, they couldn't refute it.
Changsun Wuji received the order and took his men out of the restaurant.
Soon, as soon as the food and food came, he walked in with the students who were dressed up like Ma Zhou, but without patches.
Yang Mo recognized the person in charge at a glance that was Zhang Gui, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhang Taigong.
On the way here, Zhang Gui and others were scolded by Changsun Wuji and taught them how to act when they arrived at the restaurant.
Therefore, they were like Lin Daiyu entering the Jia Mansion, timid and did not dare to breathe.
First, he saluted Zhao Pu and Li Shimin, and then to his elders. Finally, he walked to Yang Mo and bowed and called to see Mr. Yang.
Yang Mo was abnormal and not only did not neglect them, but instead warmly greeted everyone to sit down.
Ma Zhou and other poor scholars felt very happy when they saw Zhang Gui and others who were arrogant and domineering in front of them in the past.
It’s so comfortable to drink wine and eat delicious food.
Seeing Yang Mo's attitude, Zhang Taigong and others fell down the stone in their hearts.
After Zhang Gui and his group sat down, the hall was barely filled with a happy look.
The wine and food were constantly served, and Changsun Wuji brought up the rhythm of the banquet, slowly returning to the normal atmosphere of the banquet.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.
Just when everyone thought that the process of having Ma Zhou, Zhang Gui and others shook hands and made peace was over, Yang Mo stood up and looked at everyone with a smile.
Seeing Yang Mo stand up, Changsun Wuji immediately stopped the rhythm, and the people around him also calmed down.
Wait for the next step to turn swords into jade.
"Close the door, close the window..."
Yang Mo burped, and the shopkeeper quickly did as he did.
The doors and windows were closed, and Yang Mo looked at the shopkeeper again and asked him to take the clerk out in the restaurant.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask him who was serving you when we went out, so he took a dozen friends to the backyard very obediently.
After all the idle people left, Yang Mo looked at Zhao Pu who was slightly drunk and smiled: "Mr. Zhao, there are no outsiders here. Let's talk about how to make all our Luoyang students on the list in the year's imperial examination."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent in an instant.
Even Ma Zhou and others widened their eyes and looked at Yang Mo incredibly.
Good guy, are you going to take us with the Minister of Rites to commit personal gain and commit fraud?
Yang Mo's next words verified Ma Zhou's surprise.
