Chapter 222 The Imperial Examination (14)
"Sir!" Tian San persuaded: "It's not good to do this. Cheng Minzheng is famous for being a stubborn person."
Cheng Minzheng is now serving as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites and is also managing the lectures of the imperial court. The lectures mean the lecturers in front of the imperial court, which are equivalent to those of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy. His rights are similar to those of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. However, the position of Cheng Minzheng can often be swayed in front of His Majesty. When the emperor doesn't understand anything, he can say a sentence and explain it.
Tang Bohu sighed and said, "Tell me about this matter to Li Dongyang."
"I understand." Tian San hurriedly left Tangzhuang again. From the beginning, Tang Bohu asked the Jinyiwei to monitor Xu Jing. Tian San didn't understand. He always thought that Xu Jing had offended Lord Tang in his family, but now he saw that Xu Jing really had some plans.
Is this a coincidence that my own family saw? Thinking of this, Tian San fought a cold war! Can Tang Bohu really see through people at a glance?
As he was wondering in his heart, Tian San hurried to the capital again and came to Li Dongyang's mansion. It was evening. Li Dongyang had just had dinner. He knew that Tian San was Tang Bohu's capable subordinate, so he was not slow to invite the other party into the house.
Tian San told Li Dongyang about the past two births.
After hearing this, Li Dongyang's face was very heavy and he spoke, "You must not make a statement about this."
"I understand." Tian San continued: "Only I, Lord Tang and several Jinyiwei Captains know about this matter. Master Li is very strict with us, and only those who know the whole story of this matter are Bei Zhi and Lord Tang."
"Okay!" Li Dongyang nodded and said, "Where is Cheng Minzheng now?"
"It's right in our Jinyiwei Qianhuya." Tian San returned.
"Take me there!" Li Dongyang replied worriedly. The imperial examination has entered the first major event since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty this year. If an accident occurs in the imperial examination, the chief examiner of the imperial examination will be responsible for it! If you have to hold yourself accountable, you will definitely be at the brunt of the impulse.
"Cheng Minzheng!" said Cheng Minzheng, who Li Dongyang met at the Qianhu Yamen of the Jinyiwei, "How could you be so careless!"
Cheng Minzheng and Li Dongyang were about the same age. When they saw Li Dongyang, they said, "Oh... they were guarding day and night, but it was hard to guard against thieves at home! I didn't expect that my book boy would actually make such a book boy."
"Shutong?" Li Dongyang said in confusion: "I remember that Shutong was an orphan in refugee before. You took him in when you saw him pitiful. You also grew up with this young man. I have seen this person with a good heart."
"Ge Lao Li doesn't know anything." Cheng Minzheng looked puzzled, "This Cheng Minzheng had been helping me organize various books and memorials from various places in the study. I also thought that I could use this to let him read more books, not to let him gain fame and fortune at least let him know a few more words."
"But I never expected that this child was obsessed with gambling, going in and out of the gambling house every day!" Cheng Minzheng sighed, "A good child is ruined! He must have lost the money, and wanted to bet again, so he wanted to sell my questions and exchange them for some money and then go to bet."
Cheng Minzheng's lost expression fell into Tian San's eyes, and Li Dongyang said: "Tian San, you won't take us to see Tang Bohu yet. I have to ask about this matter in person!"
"That!" Tian San said with some difficulty: "Mr. Cheng Minzheng refused to move to Tangzhuang, and there was nothing he could do if he was humble."
Looking at the dilapidated Jinyiwei Qianhu Yamen and a few rats ran away, they all said that Tang Bohu's Thousand Houses had become a haunted house. At first, Li Dongyang thought it was just someone else's boast, but now he sees it is true.
"Will Cheng Minzheng not go to Tangzhuang and Tang Bohu not come to Qianhu?" Li Dongyang was obviously angry.
"This is my job, and I can't even control my humble position." Tian San explained.
"What kind of bad rules is Tang Bohu? It's bad!" Li Dongyang waved his sleeves and said, "Cheng Minzheng, come with me! Things that are related to millions of students in the imperial examination are not underestimated! You must ask clearly!"
Since Li Dongyang said it, Cheng Minzheng had to follow the tens of millions of Tangzhuang.
Tian San followed them step by step. No wonder his elders were going to find Li Dongyang to talk about this. It turned out that the elders had long thought that Li Dongyang would not watch coldly.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Dongyang noticed Tian San's expression.
"Nothing!" Tian San whispered: "Bei Zhi just thought of something interesting."
Li Dongyang could feel that the people under Tang Bohu gradually had the shadow of Tang Bohu's way of doing things. It was obvious that Tian San had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't want to go straight to Tangzhuang.
On an open space in Tangzhuang, Xu Jing and Cheng Minzheng's little book boy were brought to Tang Bohu.
"Xu Jing, we meet again? You can remain silent next, but what you say will become a testimony in the church." Tang Bohu said leisurely.
Since being taken down by Tang Bohu's Jinyiwei, Xu Jing has been much calmer. This time he may be ruined! He regretted, but he had no regrets. He just felt sorry for his parents. He did not expect that Tang Bohu was waiting for him there as if he was ambushed.
"Tang Bohu! Have you put a trap for me?" Xu Jing stared at the other party and said.
"No!" Tang Bohu answered decisively, and looked at the little Shutong kneeling beside Xu Jing and said, "Tell me, how could you two get into a hookup?"
Tang Bohu asked this question, and Xu Jing happened to want to answer. Xu Zhenqing appeared behind Tang Bohu. Looking at Xu Zhenqing standing behind Tang Bohu, Xu Jing was shocked and suspicious again that Xu Zhenqing was Tang Bohu's man!
Could it be that this is really a trap made by Tang Bohu?
"It's all him..." Xu Jing looked at Xu Zhenqing and wanted to recognize him.
But just thinking that Xu Zhenqing took out a simple bracelet with broken marks. Seeing this thing, Xu Jing immediately closed his mouth. It was his mother's personal belonging. The jade bracelet broke a few years ago. Because it was his mother's dowry, he couldn't bear to throw it away. So he found a way to glue it and then wore it again. He kept it for many years.
Xu Jing knew that he would never find a bracelet that was exactly the same.
"Why are you here?" Tang Bohu turned around and looked at Xu Zhenqing behind him.
"I'm idle and have nothing to do. I'll see you interrogating the prisoners here." Xu Zhenqing said while playing with the bracelet in his hand: "What have these two people committed?"
"Yes!" Tang Bohu could not deny it.
"These two are the restless flies you mentioned?" Xu Zhenqing said.
"That's right." Tang Bohu smiled bitterly.
Looking at Tang Bohu and Xu Zhenqing's words, Xu Jing felt very conflicted. Is this a coincidence? Or is it a coincidence?
Xu Jing stared at the bracelet in Xu Zhenqing's hand and was very angry, but he didn't know what to say. What if his parents and children were in their hands, until this moment Xu Jing was really scared.
Chapter completed!
