Volume One, Chapter 66, Who Frames Who

The preparations for the Quanzhou Prefecture Examination are in an orderly manner. Except for a few "party" with ulterior motives, no one knows that a "corruption case" in the prefecture Examination is brewing.

The supervisors from this provincial capital are named Superior Examination and naturally they will not lie on Chengtian Temple to rest every day. The next morning, Song Yingkui summoned a group of supervisors and examiners to accompany Gu Kejiu and began to inspect the examination room.

The examination room for the Quanzhou Prefecture Examination is located in Quanzhou Prefecture School, because there is a special examination room for the imperial examination in Quanzhou Prefecture School, which is a small single room that is one step wide and one step deep. However, this single room is not built with wooden boards, but a brick and tile house. Its name is no longer called the examination room, but a No. 1.

There are 480 number houses in Quanzhou Prefecture School. These number houses are opposite each other, each row is thirty, with a total of sixteen rows. Each number house has stone carvings on it. According to the order rules of the imperial examination, the first two digits are Tianyi, Tian2, Tian3, Tian4, and then the earth one to earth four, Xuanyi to Xuan4, Huangyi to Huang4, and the latter two are Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao, and until Guisi, they are very neat.

The inspection of the imperial examination room is not careless. Song Yingkui and a group of examiners carefully checked each room and a house. Whether there are holes in the walls, pits on the ground, or even places where things are hidden on the roof, must be carefully checked.

This investigation lasted one day. At night, Song Yingkui made excuses for everyone to work hard and had a few vegetarian dishes. He specially invited more than ten supervisors and examiners to a restaurant near Chengtian Temple for a good meal, saying that it was a reward for everyone. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not invite a local official from Quanzhou Prefecture, but only more than ten examiners gathered around a table.

This kind of thing was nothing at all. As an official of Song Yingkui, a rank, it was just a little bit of inviting everyone to have a meal, but he chose this opportunity too coincidental.

The exam will start the day after tomorrow. You will take everyone out for dinner to facilitate Chen Wenjie to frame it!

At least, Xu Jie and Yang Cong think so, and Zhao Yan think so too.

Therefore, Zhao Yan had an excuse from the beginning that he had a little heatstroke on the road and felt a little uncomfortable with his stomach. He always ran to the cottage, and the longer he went, the longer he went.

Yang Cong and Xu Jie sent people to guard Chen Wenjie and Zhao Yan's residences, never relaxed for a moment because they wanted Zhao Yan to see Chen Wenjie's frame-up process so as to dispel his last doubts and let him completely turn to their side.

Chen Wenjie did not disappoint. When Song Yingkui was having a banquet, he sent two people to accompany him, wearing night clothes, quietly climbed out of the backyard wall and headed straight to the courtyard where Zhao Yan lived.

At this time, outside the yard, another man in black also moved. However, the man in black did not run to Zhao Yan's courtyard, but instead rushed to the restaurant where Song Yingkui was treating guests like a ghost. The speed was obviously more than twice as fast as Chen Wenjie's subordinates.

Speaking of which, the arrangement between Yang Cong and Xu Jie seems to be a little problem. Even if the man in black who reported the news ran more than twice as fast as the people sent by Chen Wenjie, this person was going to take Zhao Yan back outside Chengtian Temple. The journey back and forth was farther than that of Chen Wenjie to Zhao Yan's yard. Moreover, Zhao Yan could not always squat in the pit and wait. It took time for him to come out of the private room of the restaurant. It would not be so coincidental that the person who reported the news came out just after he passed.

Of course there is a way to solve this problem, because not only there is no one in Chengtian Temple at this moment, especially near the courtyard where the inspectors live, there are patrolling yamen runners everywhere. Xu Jie arranged a team of yamen runners on the road between Chen Wenjie's yard and Zhao Yan's yard. If Zhao Yan didn't come back, the team of yamen runners would sit on the road to chat, spank, and rest. When Zhao Yan came back, they would get up and leave.

Of course, this team of yamen runners "blocking the road" is not enough, and Zhao Yan can quickly rush back to his residence from the restaurant.

Therefore, the man in black sent by Yang Cong was Yu Dayou. This guy is the best master in the world. Not to mention that he can fight and move the world, fly to the sky and escape, and lead someone to fly to the eaves and walls.

Yu Dayou's kung fu was really not a blow. He went from the yard where Song Yingkui was staying to the restaurant outside, and he was as fast as a galloping horse. No matter how high the wall was on the way, he flipped over it in a whirlwind, just like a ghost.

After receiving Zhao Yan, he directly wrapped Zhao Yan in a night clothes, then carried Zhao Yan all the way out of the restaurant, climbed into Chengtian Temple, climbed into the yard where Zhao Yan lived, and climbed up to the roof of the main house.

Originally, Zhao Yan didn't have to work hard this trip. After all, he was a civil servant. He climbed over the wall and went up to the roof. Not to mention whether he was tired or not, he was so scared that he was so scared.

The problem is that he doesn’t want to be used as a gun. What if Xu Jie lied to him and Chen Wenjie’s letter was also forged, and he just asked him to come forward and fight with Chen’s family in Longxi?

Therefore, when Xu Jie asked him to see someone framed him with his own eyes, he agreed without hesitation.

He and Yu Dayou were on the roof of the main house where he lived, and less than a stick of incense were enough for two black shadows to sneakily carry a box and touch it from a distance.

Naturally, these two people do not have the ability to fly over the eaves and walls. No matter how they hide their movements, they will still be exposed when they arrive at the yard where Zhao Yan lives, because there are also yamen runners guarding the yard outside where Zhao Yan lives.

However, something strange happened. The guards not only did not stop the two men in black, but also helped them to climb into the yard and even helped them to let the news outside!

What's going on?

Zhao Yan looked at the two men in black carrying the box into the yard with a strange face, then pried open the window of his bedroom, quietly flipped into the bedroom, then lit the fire stick, swept around the bedroom, and finally stuffed the box into the bed, then flipped it out all the way and left.

At this time, the inner courtyard where he lived was not arranged to guard him, because he brought a total of two trusted yamen runners, and he did not bring any important things, so he did not need anyone to guard him.

Seeing that the two black shadows had gone away, Yu Dayou gently stuffed the tiles on the top of his bedroom back, then took him off the roof, flipped directly into the window that the two men in black had just opened, and moved out the wooden boxes under the bed and opened them in front of him.

At this time, Zhao Yan's forehead was already scared and sweating.

He saw the wooden box with his own eyes stuffing two men in black into the bed, and there was indeed silver inside the box, a total of four or five hundred taels of silver!

If he was suddenly "searched" without his knowledge, he would be unable to clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Fortunately, Xu Jie intercepted Chen Wenjie's secret letter in advance and learned everything, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Yu Dayou did not stop after turning the box out. After opening it for Zhao Yan, he took Zhao Yan out of the yard, and then turned around to carry the box out. He carried Zhao Yan for a while with the box on his back, and handed it over to the two men in black who suddenly rushed out of the darkness. Then he carried Zhao Yan back to the restaurant.

This time, it was a long story, but in fact, it took less than a quarter of an hour in total. It was indeed a bit abnormal to go to the cottage and squat for so long. However, considering that Zhao Yan was feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, Song Yingkui did not feel anything wrong.

At this time, Zhao Yan's face was a little ugly, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Song Yingkui was a little inappropriate.
