After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 181 Trouble and targeting

evening.

The Deer Singing Banquet was held in the Zhenxie Pavilion, where the talents on the list gathered together, laughing and laughing constantly.

In order to make Gu Hanlin familiar and leave a good impression, many poor students reluctantly bought decent clothes to attend the banquet.

In the delicacy pavilion, in the private room for receiving distinguished guests, Gu Hanlin was sitting on a chair carved with strange patterns full of official style.

In front of them, Li Shengyuan and Zhu Quan brothers respectfully presented the first two banknotes.

Gu Hanlin looked at the bank note and raised his face, and then tensed up again, pretending to be majestic and asked: "You don't get paid for nothing, what do you mean?"

Li Shengyuan showed a heartbroken expression, and took a step forward: "Master Gu, although the boy failed to make a name on the list, he thinks that he is not as good as others, but Zhao Tieshu, who is at the top of the list, is suspected of cheating. Please investigate carefully."

Gu Hanlin's face was serious, and he asked in an unhappy tone: "There is still such a thing?"

Zhu Quan quickly answered, nodded heavily and said, "My lord, all the students present have heard about this matter, and your lord can check it yourself."

"It's unreasonable!" Gu Hanlin slapped the table hard, "I was almost fooled by this fish that slipped through the net!"

Gu Hanlin stood up angrily, and passed Li Shengyuan, but the bank note in Li Shengyuan's hand had indeed disappeared.

At the door, Gu Hanlin spoke solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "After the matter is verified by the official, you can be the last one on the list with your talent and learning."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shengyuan quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After Gu Hanlin left, Li Shengyuan was all smiles, but Zhu Quan was very annoyed.

"Young Master Li, Master Gu is so greedy for money. If I had known earlier, I would have found someone to take my place." Zhu Quan sighed again and again.

Li Shengyuan smiled heartily, and slowly said: "Young Master Zhu, you still lack knowledge. There are a few officials who are not greedy. This time, not only can you make up the list, but you can also teach that Zhao Tieshu a lesson. You can kill two birds with one stone."

Li Shengyuan was full of ambition and felt that he was very smart. When he went to Tang Buku to discuss this plan today, Tang Buku still felt that it was not enough.

Now it seems obvious that it is feasible, Li Shengyuan underestimated Tang Buku in his heart.

In Zhenxie Pavilion, talented people gathered together, Zhao Shun was still with Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing, and as Jie Yuan, he was the first to sue the examiner for accepting bribes, and now he was well-known among the examinees.

While talking and laughing, some scholars in twos and threes came to congratulate Zhao Shun and get acquainted with Zhao Shun by the way. After all, a person who can be a Jie Yuan will surely have good achievements in the future, so it is better to form a good relationship now.

A scholar in simple civilian clothes, with a square scarf on his head, came to the table with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhao is as bright as thunder, and my younger brother is here to pay a visit."

Zhao Shun stood up and saluted, "Brother, you are welcome."

The slender eyes of the commoner scholar flashed a gleam, and he said flatteringly: "Brother Zhao opened a way for me and other poor students to eradicate corrupt officials, and he is kind to us. If you need anything in the future, just let me know." .”

"Brother's words are serious, it's just a coincidence."

After being courteous, Zhao Shun's expression was a little helpless. This scholar's purpose was not pure, and he didn't really want to make friends, which made him a little tired of dealing with it.

Seeing this, Yan Chongluan smiled heartily, and joked, "Brother Zhao, this is such a happy trouble, hahaha."

Zhao Shun sat back on the chair and shook his head slightly.

"Lord Gu Hanlin is here!"

There was a shout from a servant somewhere, and Gu Hanlin strode towards the banquet hall in strides. He was dressed in a purple-blue mansion, which was very eye-catching, and it was the aspiration of all the scholars present.

Gu Hanlin stood still in the field, with his chest slightly puffed out, and his tone was condescending.

"Today, I'm celebrating all the newly promoted talents, but I heard something, which is extremely bad."

No one would have expected such an opening, but the reaction was quick, and the students who knew what was going on had already answered the call at this moment.

"Dare to ask your lord why you are so angry?"

Gu Hanlin didn't answer, but snorted coldly and said, "Who is Zhao Tieshu?"

Zhao Shun frowned slightly when he heard the words, he wanted to keep a low profile through the Minglu Banquet, but Gu Hanlin turned towards him as soon as he came up, could it be that Qin Buhui was testing him again?
Standing up slowly, Zhao Shun said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord, I am right here."

Gu Hanlin looked sideways, his eyes were slightly suffocated, and he felt that his face looked familiar, but he couldn't tell.

However, he had met many people, maybe he met somewhere, so Gu Hanlin didn't take it seriously.

Clearing his throat, Gu Hanlin said in a questioning tone: "It is rumored that you are suspected of cheating in the examination room, is it true?"

As soon as the words fell, there was silence at the Minglu Banquet. Everyone didn't know why Gu Hanlin brought up this matter. The capital of the list has already been given, so why settle accounts after autumn?

Zhao Shun's gaze sank, it was obvious that Gu Hanlin was deliberately looking for trouble for him.

"My lord, the cheating was a misunderstanding, but it was deliberately framed by the examiner Li Hong, and I made it clear on the spot."

"Yes, my lord, we can all testify." Liu Qing stood up immediately.

Gu Hanlin's eyes were slightly cold, and he asked coldly, "Did I ask you to speak?"

Liu Qing's complexion changed slightly, and she wanted to argue with reason, but Zhao Shun pressed his shoulders and pressed him on the chair.

Gu Hanlin obviously came for him, and Liu Qing couldn't be allowed to go through this muddy water.

Yan Chongluan glanced across the entire inquiry, and found Li Shengyuan who was secretly observing behind the screen. If no one blamed the cheating, Gu Hanlin would definitely not know about it.

There is no Li Shengyuan's name on the government examination list, and now he appears here, the problem can be imagined.

Yan Chongluan stood up slowly, and said with a light smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, continue, the kid has a stomachache."

Gu Hanlin's face was a little tense, and the two people around Zhao Shun didn't think much of him.

"It's well known that Li Hong accepts bribes. Who knows if you are in collusion with him, so the suspicion was cleared up."

"Whether your cheating is true or not, I will investigate thoroughly. Now your Jieyuan score is temporarily cancelled. Go home and wait for news."

The sentence "go back and wait for news" is just an occasional talk. If Zhao Shun really left, the news that waits for it will definitely not be good news.

Zhao Shun suppressed his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I don't know. This examiner Li Hong was the one I first sued to pull him down. Wouldn't it be absurd for Your Excellency to suspect me of colluding with him to cheat?"

Gu Hanlin frowned, there is still such a thing, Li Shengyuan really hates that he didn't remind him.

"I will investigate after I say it, don't you understand? Can I still wrong you?"

When the matter developed to this point, Gu Hanlin could no longer end it hastily. On the one hand, it was for money, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of face.
