Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 335: Daqian Juren Grand View

[How can you tell that I am extraordinary and heroic? Also, at my age, how could I possibly be here to take the imperial examination? What makes you think that someone so young can take the imperial examination? What kind of genius must he be?]

[Is there such a young scholar in Daqian's history? ]

Xu Jinyu's heart was set on avoiding this scholar who was trying to gain merit all over the capital.

The Minister of Revenue smiled and said, "Master Xu is still young. This man is not here to chat, but to establish a relationship."

The Minister of Personnel said: "A man who travels in a manner like Lord Xu, with several guards following him, must be from a powerful family. This scholar has good taste, but I don't know if he is trying to get close to Lord Xu, or if he just wants to get close to anyone with a good family background."

"We just need to watch it, but we can't let Lord Xu get tricked."

Xu Jinyu rejected Wu Mo seriously: "I am not a student, nor am I here to take the imperial examination. I am just out shopping."

Wu Mo: "Looking at the clothes you are wearing, you must be from an extraordinary family! I wonder if you know this year's examiner?"

"know!"

Xu Jinyu's eyes became more alert. Shen Qingshan, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Shen Ruzhuo's father, was the chief examiner of this imperial examination.

Although I am not familiar with Xu Jinyu, I definitely know her.

[What! What! Are you trying to bribe the examiner? Come to me! Come to me! I will definitely take care of it.]

Although Xu Jinyu refused physically, her sparkling eyes proved her excitement.

The Minister of Revenue covered his face with his hands: "If Xu Jinyu really brought the bribe to Lord Shen, should we impeach him?"

As an official under his command, if Xu Jinyu really does such a thing, he will definitely have to clean up the mess himself.

"What impeachment? You don't know Xu Jinyu's temper. You forgot that an official from the Ministry of Personnel received 100 taels of silver and was scolded by her for three days. It's a miracle that she can give the bribe to Lord Shen. I just don't know what she is going to do?"

As the Marquis of Qingyang who had been cheated countless times by Xu Jinyu, in order to avoid being cheated by Xu Jinyu, he specially studied Xu Jinyu's temperament.

Does Xu Jinyu's attitude of black is black and white mean that he allows corrupt officials to exist?

Wu Mo showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "We are in Jizhou, a small place, and we don't know what the writing style of the examination is. I want to visit you and ask Lord Shen for advice."

"No! Lord Shen has closed the door to visitors." Xu Jinyu flatly refused.

[What a pity! It wasn't a gift. I thought it was a bribe. I've already thought about it. Whoever gives me a gift, I'll post the gift and the gift list at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, so that they will be known all over the world. I want to see who dares to give gifts to the examiners in the future.]

【The imperial examination is a place where poor students can make a breakthrough, so it must be kept clean.】

The Minister of Personnel said: "It is Lord Xu who is the most immoral."

If this list were posted, the candidate would have no way of telling whether he passed the exam or not, and no one would dare to bribe the examiner easily in the future.

Normally, no one would dare to do this, because everyone still has to behave themselves, but who can blame Mr. Xu for not behaving like a human being in general?

"But Lord Xu is also an examiner this year. Do you think anyone has given Lord Xu a gift? If so, should we accept it..."

The old face of the Minister of Personnel was already filled with a lewd smile.

During every joint examination, there were many people who bribed the co-examiners. The co-examiners were responsible for copying and covering the names of the students... These were crucial. Once, an examiner wrote the name of the student who bribed him on an excellent test paper.

But the bad thing was that the test paper with the changed name was too good, so it was directly replaced with the first place in the joint examination. When the first place in the joint examination was questioned by the emperor during the palace examination, he was speechless and could not even explain clearly the essay he had written in the joint examination, so he was directly caught out.

"Yes! I must!"

The Minister of Revenue did not answer, but the Marquis of Qingyang answered with firmness.

All the affairs of his - Marquis of Qingyang - family were uncovered by Xu Jinyu. As a marquis, he would not do anything corrupt or illegal. Now Marquis of Qingyang is a man of iron will and is not afraid of anything.

The Minister of Revenue looked at the Marquis of Qingyang sympathetically and said, "Are you sure?"

"Sure! I am innocent and dare to do things that no one else in the world dares to do!"

"Just don't regret it when the time comes."

"No regrets!"

It’s a pity that Marquis Qingyang didn’t know what it meant to plant a flag.

If I had known, I would never say this today.

Wu Mo was not discouraged after being rejected by Xu Jinyu. He just wanted to give it a try. Because those officials in Jizhou wanted to make money but didn't want the court to know, they closed the entire route from Jizhou to Beijing.

In the past few years, those who participated in the imperial examinations were all close friends or relatives of the officials in Jizhou. Only these people could guarantee that the true situation in Jizhou would not be disclosed.

It has been many years since any poor student from Jizhou took part in the imperial examination, so they really don't know the current rules of the examination.

"My dear young man, you seem to be here for fun. How about I take you for a walk?"

[Well! I've already rejected it, why is Wu Mo still pestering me? ]

[It turns out that he felt that he had lacked a famous teacher in recent years and had no hope of passing the exam. He tried to establish a relationship with me in order to find out from me what good teachers there were in the capital. He would not go back after the exam and would continue to work hard for the next exam.]

[He just wants to find a teacher through me, which is not a problem, I can just help him find out when the time comes.]

Xu Jinyu's eyes rolled. She originally came to see what kind of qualities these candidates had. It would be nice to have someone who was familiar with these candidates.

"please!"

"please!"

The two of them first walked into the Zhuangyuan Building on the street.

The shopkeeper of Zhuangyuanlou was about to greet Xu Jinyu when he saw him, but as soon as he raised his smile, he was sent away by the guards behind him.

As they walked, Wu Mo introduced Xu Jinyu: "This Zhuangyuan Building is famous because it produced a number one scholar. But the house price is also high, twice as expensive as the one next to it."

Celebrity effect?

Xu Jinyu understands this!

Otherwise, the shopkeeper wouldn't have to work so hard to promote the fact that Zhuangyuanlou had produced a number one scholar.

"The people who live here are all rich. Ordinary people can't afford to live here. Look at that student."

Xu Jinyu looked in the direction Wu Mo pointed. This student was indeed as wealthy as Wu Mo said. He was walking hurriedly towards the box in Zhuangyuan Building. The clothes he was wearing alone were so expensive that ordinary people could not afford them even if they worked hard all their lives.

"I heard that he was born into a wealthy family in Jiangnan. A great family has produced such a talented scholar. Even when he came to participate in the imperial examination, he brought a lot of people with him. The servants alone took up two rooms."

"I heard that even his wife from a rich family is ready, just waiting for him to pass the college entrance examination, so that he can have a double happiness."

[Ah! This double happiness may not be possible! ]

[Wang Chen passed the imperial examination because his ancestors' graves were filled with smoke. Before the exam, his teacher predicted the test questions correctly, which allowed him to pass the exam smoothly.]

[After arriving in the capital, without the pressure from his elders, he has completely let himself go. It is not an exaggeration to say that he revels every night. Let's see which unlucky family is going to marry their daughter to him.]

"Pfft!"

The unlucky rich man's legs went weak and he almost fell.

"Father-in-law, please be careful." Wang Chen carefully supported his future father-in-law.

[Is this a trick to trick his daughter or a marriage? His legal wife hasn't even married yet, but he already has three illegitimate sons. Is he blind? ]

[Hey, it's Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Personnel. He really hasn't checked Wang Chen's background. He heard that the betrothal gift was 100,000 taels of silver, so he agreed without asking any questions. He's just desperate for money.]

Oh my! I didn't check the date when I went out today. How did I bump into Master Xu? Master Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.
