The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Sir Shan! Master Shan stay!"

As soon as Sheng Yuan arrived at Dali Temple, he stepped onto the corridor when he heard Zuo Si Cheng's shout from behind him.

"Chen Sicheng?" Sheng Yuan stopped when he heard the sound, and looked over in surprise.

"What are you calling me for?!"

Although they all work together in Dali Temple, she doesn't have much contact with Zuo Sicheng, and the occasional conversation is simple. She really can't figure out why he is in such a hurry to find her?

"Master Sheng, you can make it easy for me to find you!" Chen Sicheng took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him like this, Sheng Yuan was even more surprised. After the other party's expression calmed down, he asked: "Chen Sicheng is looking for you in a hurry, do you have something important to say?"

Chen Sicheng nodded: "The official received a scroll of files, which were handed over by the five prefectures of the Southern Province."

"Five states in the southern province?" Sheng Yuan remembered that these were the provinces that Zuo Sicheng was in charge of.

Chen Sicheng mentioned to her the provincial files he was in charge of?

"This... what I mentioned may be offensive, but there is an inside story in this case. Please forgive me, Mr. Sheng."

The more polite Chen Sicheng was, the more Sheng Yuan muttered: "Chen Sicheng has something to say, but I'm confused now."

"One of the case files sent by the magistrates of the five prefectures in the southern province involved teenagers surnamed Ning and An from Kyoto. Although the files said that the smuggling of coarse salt was done temporarily by their servants, there was a letter from the local supervisory department to tell the people , saying they shipped salt overseas."

"Ning's surname, An's surname? Shipping salt overseas?" Sheng Yuan quickly found clues from his connections based on his surname.

Anyu's grandmother's surname is Ning!

"Since the Yan Dynasty once again established the system of returning salt and iron to the public and has been passed down to the present, all three dynasties have punished them. Those who smuggle salt seriously can be killed according to the law!" Is the evidence in Mr. Chen’s hands conclusive? If the evidence is true, it should be handled fairly, so what should be done, and the facts and the justice of the law must not be ignored because of friendship."

What Sheng Yuan said was righteous and strict, but blocked everything Chen Sicheng wanted to say.

"..." Originally, he wanted to persuade Sheng Yuan's Zuo Sicheng with good words.

He just wanted to clarify his relationship with this colleague, after all, the two people in the file are relatives of her fiancé.

One is not out of the fifth server, one is not out of the third server, one is from the academic family of Qingliu, and the other is from the veteran Duke Xungui, they are not easy to mess with.

If Sheng Yuan made the guarantee out of in-law relationship, it would depend on her status in front of the empress dowager, and I'm afraid there will be another entanglement.

Therefore, Chen Sicheng came to say hello in order not to be disturbed.

"If you are afraid of interfering with the judiciary, don't worry, I won't say a word!" Sheng Yuan's assurance was resounding.

Hearing that from Chen Sicheng's ears, he was indeed relieved.

Probably out of a desire to reciprocate, he deliberately revealed the names of the teenagers surnamed Ning and An to Sheng Yuan.

"An Hai?" Before Sheng Yuan paid more attention to the man surnamed Ning, he was attracted by this man with the same name as An Yu's cousin.

An Hai is the second son of the current Duke An.

"As far as I know, the current An Guogong has a son with this name."

"Chen Sicheng, we scholars, since we entered the official school, we have heard from our master that the emperor violated the law and the people are the same crime. This... the laws of Great Chu are like this for the emperor, let alone others call it?"

Knowing her attitude, Chen Sicheng heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately made preparations to be selfless.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but Sheng Yuan didn't take it seriously, both of them regarded it as an episode.

But not long after the decree of exile was issued, the old Mrs. An Guo came to the door, um, the door of the Ancheng Hou Mansion.

It was a coincidence that An Yu invited Sheng Yuan to the Hou Mansion to study the renovation on this day.

After all, this place will be the main battlefield of their lives in the future, so it is natural that both of them like to be comfortable.

When the nearly seventy-year-old Mrs. An Guo broke into the main courtyard, Sheng Yuan was at his desk revising the design drawings, and An Yu was leaning on the table to point out and make additions.

Hearing the movement, the two raised their heads and looked at the angry Mrs. Ning outside the door, both a little surprised.

"Brother Yu, you are very leisurely! But you don't know that your brother is going to be exiled!" Mrs. Ning, leaning on a red sandalwood cane, sternly accused her.

"???" An Yu was a little at a loss. When the old lady mentioned the word "brothers", two cousins ​​came to mind.

"Don't say I didn't mention it to you, An Hai! Your second uncle's son." Seeing him like this, Sheng Yuan knew that he really didn't take it to heart, and reminded him while packing up the drawing paper.

"Oh." An Yu remembered, and shrugged at Mrs. Ning who was approaching every step of the way, "So you are talking about my cousin who sells coarse salt to sea!"

He ignored the old lady's expression of wanting to eat people, and waved his hands indifferently: "Old lady, you said that your grandson is going to suffer, and you still have time to go out! Why don't you go back and pack for him?" ?”

Madam Ning who originally wanted to use An Yu as an entry point: "..."

She never expected that An Yu would be disturbed by her move "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong" before she could use it!

What's even more hateful is what this kid called her!

old lady? !Even grandma refused to call out? !

Mrs. Ning held back her anger, and looked at Sheng Yuan: "Sister Yuan, right? I heard that you are now in charge of Dali Temple with that Chen Sicheng? Do you know the files of Brother Hai and Brother Cong? Family, is it possible that you will just watch brother Yu's younger brothers suffer?"

"Who is Brother Cong?" Sheng Yuan ignored her, looking at An Yu and asked.

"The grandson of the Ning family is the same age as Brother Hai." Hearing this, An Yu introduced it to Sheng Yuan like a bean.

Mrs. Ning, who had been ignored all this time, almost fell on her back.

"Sister Yuan! I'm asking you something!" Mrs. Ning blushed, holding back her anger.

"No, old man, who are you! Just ask this and that if you don't agree with me here! Do I know you?" Sheng Yuan put the blueprint away, raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes.

In fact, Sheng Yuan actually met Mrs. Ning once when she was a child, but the two families seldom communicated. If she hadn't had a good memory, she might not have recognized her.

I didn't expect that Mrs. Ning, who was more generous than the other, was really angry this time.

"You! You! You!" Lifting her walking stick, Mrs. Ning pointed at Sheng Yuan and didn't finish a sentence for a long time. With great difficulty, she finished the second half of the sentence in one go, "This is the tutor of the Sheng family?!"

Speaking of other things, Sheng Yuan is not in a hurry, but if someone points her nose and talks about tutoring, then don't blame her for turning her face.

"This old lady, holding a cane and pointing out that other people are your tutors? When we meet, you talk about other people's tutors. Is this your tutor? If you have something to say, I don't mind changing it for you." crutch!"
