According to the rules, the night before the execution of the death row prisoners, they would set up a table of dead wine. Yang Qiuchi took out some broken silver to handle the jailers and let them prepare more.

Mr. Bai Qian didn't have the appetite, so he just kept drinking and kept talking to Mrs. Bai and the others.

I don’t know how long it took, but the jailed soldiers quietly told Ma Du that the visit time had passed long ago and it was almost time to close the prison gate.

It was time to break up. Mr. Bai Qian reached out from the iron fence and grabbed Yang Qiuchi's hand: "Young Master Yang, I did something wrong at the beginning. If I had promised Mei'er to you at that time, at least she would not have suffered this pain. Now that they are exiled to a foreign land, I don't know how to live this life."

Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei sobbed and started to cry.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Yang Qiuchi felt a stir in his heart. Although he didn't know where he would be an official in the future, whether it was the place where Mrs. Bai and his daughter were exiled, he couldn't care and comforted him: "President Qian, please rest assured. I will take care of Mrs. Bai and Miss Sumei, and I will never let them suffer!"

Mr. Bai Qian stared at Yang Qiuchi in a daze, slowly let go of his hand, took a step back, knelt down to the ground, and kowtowed a few times: "If Mr. Yang can take care of my wife and Mei'er, Bai will bring a weed and ring in the next life to repay the young master's great kindness!"

Yang Qiuchi also knelt down on the ground and kowtowed and returned the greeting.

When leaving the imperial prison, Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du took out all the money they had on their bodies and gave it to the prison head who was responsible for managing Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei, and asked him to prepare several sets of winter clothes for her mother and daughter, and take good care of her mother and daughter.

The prisoner knew Ma Du's identity, so he dared not do anything randomly. He refused until Ma Du ordered him to accept it. He patted his chest and sweared that he would never let Mrs. Bai and his daughter suffer any grievances in the imperial prison.

Yang Qiuchi had already said what he had just said. He was not a person who made a promise, but he had to do what he promised.

However, this matter does not require any effort. Even if the place where he served as an official is not together with the place where they were exiled, Yang Qiuchi decided to send them safely to the place where they were exiled in Yunnan first, spend money to settle them. Then he took the post.

The next day, Mr. Bai Qian and his friends were executed, but Yang Qiuchi did not go to watch. He had seen too many dead people. Although he had never seen Lingchi, the most famous execution method, he was not in the mood to study it now and was unwilling to experience the pain of separation from life and death.

Yang Qiuchi spent money to find two offenders and went to the execution ground to collect the body of Mr. Bai Qian and found a good cemetery to bury it.

———————————————

After dealing with these matters, Yang Qiuchi, Song Qing, Song Qingniang and others left the capital Yingtian Prefecture and returned to Ningguo Prefecture.

Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue have already received all the property of the Hao family. On that day, Yang Qiuchi held a banquet at the new home to celebrate. The prefect Zhou personally wrote a plaque "Yang Mansion" for Yang Qiuchi, replacing the original "Hao Mansion". Relatives and friends gathered together to celebrate Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing's marriage.

Now, the Hao family has become Yang Qiuchi's home. He has only carefully looked at the house.

The house was really too big. Yang Qiuchi's family and twenty Jinyi Guards were put in, but they were still too empty to take care of them. Under Yang Qiuchi's entrustment, the prefect Zhou invited several escorts from a trusted escort agency for Yang Qiuchi as a guard for the house. Yang Qiuchi bought several servants and servants, and then the Yang family's business started to operate normally.

The magistrate Song, Song Qingdiniang and Song Yuner lived in the Yang Mansion for a few days before returning to Guangde County. Before leaving, the magistrate Song asked Yang Qiuchi to study at home and prepare to participate in Enke. He did not have to go to the prison cell of Guangde County for the time being to work.

Yang Qiuchi thanked him repeatedly. He took the opportunity to repair it. He was too tired during this period. He didn't need to read these Four Books and Five Classics, but he could use this period to sleep well for a few days.

He is now a wife with two concubines. His wife Feng Xiaoxue, concubines Qin Zhihui and Song Qing, but there has been no news since Qin Zhihui was kidnapped by a female senior in the martial arts world, so now only one wife with one concubine is left.

According to the rules set by Qin Zhihui before, Yang Qiuchi, Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing agreed to each other and went to the wife and concubines' room to sleep in each five days. Of course, if any aunt comes, the time can be delayed in advance or later.

County Magistrate Song and his team returned a few days after returning to Guangde, and this time they moved their families. As soon as they met, Song Yuner happily told Yang Qiuchi that his father had been promoted.

It turned out that according to what Yang Qiuchi said, Niu Baihu, the Jinyiwei, reported to the role played by the magistrate Song, especially the daughter Song Yuner, in solving the Hao family's rebellion case and arresting the rebel Deng Youlu. In addition, the magistrate Song successively solved the Yin family's incest case and the Jin Keying's white bone case. The Ministry of Personnel issued an elevation of Song County to Tongzhi of Ningguo Prefecture, which was the vacancy that had been killed by his younger brother.

Originally, this matter was mainly due to Song Yuner. However, since Song Yuner was a woman, women could not be an official in ancient times, so this contribution was recorded on her father, Magistrate Song.

The magistrate Song was originally just the magistrate of Guangde County and the seventh rank official. Now he was promoted to the Tongzhi of Ningguo Prefecture and the fifth rank official, and became the executive deputy secretary of the Prefecture Party Committee. He was so happy that he didn't sleep well for several nights, so his family moved to Ningguo Prefecture to take office.

Of course, Magistrate Song would not forget how he made these contributions. He was very fortunate to be smart at the time and had a relationship with Yang Qiuchi around the bush. Now it seems that this move is right.

After moving to the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture, magistrate Song held a banquet to celebrate and expressed his gratitude to Yang Qiuchi.

Since the magistrate of Song and Guangde County are no longer the magistrate, Yang Qiuchi, Guangde County cell supervision can of course not be the magistrate of Yang Qiuchi. Originally, the magistrate of Song meant to hire Yang Qiuchi to continue to be his aide and assist him, but this time, Yang Qiuchi politely declined by taking the imperial examination.

Magistrate Song already knew that Yang Qiuchi was not the former Wuxia Ameng. Since he accepted the property of Hao Family, he has transformed into one of the top rich men in Ningguo Mansion. From the perspective of money, he would not care about the money of his staff, so Magistrate Song no longer insisted.

Anyway, the magistrate Song also knows it. Not to mention that Yang Qiuchi is now his niece, just relying on his life-and-death relationship between his daughter Song Yuner and Yang Qiuchi, if he has something to do in the future, Yang Qiuchi will definitely help him.

The two families are together again. This makes Yang Qiuchi very happy. Although Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner don’t call him, being with this little girl makes him very comfortable.

As the days left Enke land were getting closer, Song Magistrate had never seen Yang Qiuchi read books. He once tactfully reminded him to read books. He also hinted that he could teach him. Song Magistrate was born as a juren, and was the same year as Yang Qiuchi and his old man in Yangjia Village. After the imperial examination, he was more than enough to be Yang Qiuchi's teacher. Unfortunately, Yang Qiuchi was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics at all, so Song Magistrate had to let him go.

A few days before the Ensemble was held, Yang Qiuchi set off to Yingtian Mansion to take the exam and brought fifteen male guards of the Jinyiwei to go there. Originally, Song Qing was going to follow her, but Yang's mother told her tactfully that her husband was going to take the imperial examination this time, and she wanted to go to dialect would make Yang Qiuchi distracted. Song Qing then gave up.

Although Song Qing was afraid that Yang Qiuchi would not be able to go with her, her cousin Song Yuner didn't have to worry about these things. Song Yuner liked the most lively, so of course she yelled to follow her. Yang's mother certainly agreed. She hoped that Song Yuner could protect Yang Qiuchi with her.

Song Yuner's father, Magistrate Song, no, he should be called Song Tongzhi now. He always hopes that Song Yuner and Yang Qiuchi will have a result. He, the old fox, has long seen that Yang Qiuchi is not a thing in the pond. In the future, it will turn into a dragon land when encountering wind and rain, so of course he has raised his hands to agree.

So, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner set out to Yingtian Prefecture with fifteen Jinyi Guards.

After the group arrived at Yingtian Mansion, of course they lived in the Qianhu Institute of Madu. Madu was very surprised when he heard Yang Qiuchi say that he was here to take the Enko Identity Examination Examination, but he was very impressed and treated him very well. He didn't know the hardship of the imperial examination, so he pulled Yang Qiuchi to run around Yingtian Mansion all day, drinking and having fun, and almost all the fun places in Yingtian Mansion.

During this period, Yang Qiuchi and Ma Du went to inquire about the specific departure of Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter's exile, and learned that they would have to wait until the Spring Festival before they set out. Yang Qiuchi felt at ease. By that time, it was clear where he was to take office and he could make a decision based on the appointment situation.

On this day, the Enke provincial examination finally started.

The examination room for the Yingtianfu imperial examination is called Gongyuan. Each candidate has a room, a single room, and a room with a brick and wood structure. When the candidate enters the room, the invigilator must lock the door to the ground from the outside, and the scholars will write articles inside to take the exam.

Yang Qiuchi thought very well. Anyway, Eunuch Li and the others were operating behind the scenes behind him. He would finish sleeping in three days. But as soon as he entered the room, he found that the room was too simple. It was just a small single room, with a desk taking up most of the table. With a stool and a heating brazier, there was no free space.

It is the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is the twelfth lunar month. If there is no fire in this room, it will be relatively cold. Fortunately, Yang Qiuchi wears more clothes. But if you want to sleep, you must catch a cold. Fortunately, Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing prepared cotton coats and trousers for Yang Qiuchi, as well as heating utensils, and bought charcoal fires to make a stove so that they would not get frozen.

Yang Qiuchi was very bored and sat in the room to burn the fire, savoring Song Qing's warm embrace.

Finally, he ended the third exam. Yang Qiuchi left the number room and stretched his waist long. Just as he was about to go back, he saw the scholars who were referring to run to the tribute school. He didn't know what was going on.

Yang Qiuchi looked up and saw that there was already a circle of people not far away. Yang Qiuchi followed him to watch the fun. After listening to the scholars' discussion, he realized that it seemed that a poor old scholar who was taking the exam had no money to buy charcoal to make a fire. He worked hard in the account room for three days. When he finished the exam today, he found that the scholar had been frozen to death.

Yang Qiuchi squeezed into the crowd and saw that, sure enough, there was a corpse lying on the ground in a room. It was an old man, who looked fifty or sixty years old, and his hair and beard were gray. He seemed to be an old scholar. He had been taking the imperial examination all his life, but he died in the imperial examination hall.

The old man has a low body temperature regulation ability and is very sensitive to temperature. In addition, he soaked in the room for three days and three nights, and his limbs are not moved, and his blood circulation is poor. Moreover, looking at the dead old man with a pale face and thin skin, he should have been suffering from long-term malnutrition. In addition, he studied hard day and night, and was extremely tired and his resistance was reduced, so he was more likely to freeze to death than young and middle-aged people.

Yang Qiuchi was sighing and suddenly exclaimed. A strange phenomenon attracted his attention: the old man's robe was neat and he seemed to die calmly, but it was precisely because of this calmness that Yang Qiuchi felt abnormal. However, because there were too many people watching the fun, Yang Qiuchi could not see clearly other situations of the dead old man.

After a while, another voice came from a distance: "Get out of the way! The examiner, Lord Jia, is here." Yang Qiuchi turned his head and saw a few people walking in the distance, with a yamen runner in front of him leading the way.

I heard that it was the chief examiner, but Yang Qiuchi had never seen him before. When he looked closely, he found that he was a thin old man.

The crowd retreated and a large area was empty. The examiner Jia stood at the door and looked at it, asking, "What's going on?"

The deputy examiner in charge of the inspection said: "It was an old scholar who died in the number room. Beizhi had just checked. The old scholar was named Lu Xueru. He was from Chuzhou, Yingtian Prefecture. He lived in a small village called Beishao in Chuzhou. He took the exam for many years and failed many times. It seemed that he had no money to buy charcoal to make a fire and was frozen to death."

The chief examiner Jia Hanlin is a Hanlin Academy Shujishi (equivalent to the current chief clerk of the General Office of the Central Committee and an academician of the Academy of Social Sciences). The court personally sent him to preside over the provincial examination in Yingtianfu, the capital city. After hearing the words of the deputy chief examiner, he frowned. If this matter was to be spread, he would say that his imperial examination was not organized properly. This was the examination held by the emperor's enthronement department, and it was held on the emperor's birthday. If such a thing happened, it would be a bit troublesome if the supervisory envoy knew about it and he would learn about it.

However, since the matter has been done, it is impossible to conceal it. He asked: "Have you notified Yingtian Prefecture's Office? What about offense? Is it called offense?"

The deputy examiner replied: "I have sent someone to call him."

After a while, several people came, one of them was a magistrate from Yingtian Mansion, and he brought an offense.

This offense looks a bit like a pig slaughter. This offense walks into the room and starts to check.

After a while, the offense that looked like a pig slaughter came out and bowed and said, "Report to the master, this old scholar was frozen to death."

Jia Hanlin smiled bitterly on his face and said, "Then carry him to the morgue in the yamen to store, and let him be handed over to the family when his family comes." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Chapter completed!
