The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 223 Ziwei Sheren Buffet

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall became much lighter. However, some people's moods became more and more heavy.

Those with faster brains can smell the smell.

Although the emperor seemed to be blaming Jia Min, he gave him a chance to defend himself.

Another party in the arena, Ma Shangde, was also present at this time. Asking Jia Min to recite this poem in public is undoubtedly a humiliation to Ma Shangde.

This at least proves that the emperor no longer cares about Marchand's feelings.Then, those speculations about Marchand's relationship with the mastermind behind the scenes are a bit fanciful.

"Jia Min, do you think someone is plotting against you behind your back? What do you think their purpose is to plot against you?"

When the emperor asked such a question, Jia Min felt that something was wrong.

Or is it plotting against me? Isn't this fact obvious?Isn't it just looking for plots?
No, he was testing me.

"Returning to the emperor, I feel that some things are puzzling. However, if it is said to be a conspiracy, I don't have any evidence yet, so I don't want to make wild guesses. Fortunately, I have reported it to the official in time. I believe that after investigation, the truth will come to light. "

Hmph, this little cunning guy still knows a little bit about good and bad.

Emperor Yuanheng naturally didn't want Jia Min to reveal the shady scene on this occasion.

Others can comment and even speculate on the matter.However, he can ignore them for the time being.The Ministry of Punishment has already started an investigation, and he can decide to deal with it when he has a conclusion in the future.

Once Jia Min accused someone of assassinating him, the matter would become public, and he would have to give Jia Min an explanation.In that case, the martial arts proposed by him will be stained with a stain.

This is what Emperor Yuanheng didn't want to see.

Emperor Yuanheng picked up the pen and began to check.

The decisive moment has arrived, and everyone is waiting with bated breath.

Dai Quan took the list and handed it to Li Yuan, who read it out.

For Li Yuan, this is an honor given to him by the emperor.

Li Yuan looked at the list and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Yijia No.1, Zhili Zhou Tong, is the champion.

No.2, Shandong Zuo Linliang, is the second place.

No.3, Jia Min of Shuntian Prefecture, is Tanhua.

The ranking of these people is basically not surprising.

The rankings of the other personnel were basically the same as the original guesses of their review ministers.The only exception is that Marchand's ranking has changed.

From the original top ten, it was directly transferred to 107, which is the last place.

This exchange of rankings gave a strong signal that the emperor had determined that Ma Shangde was responsible for the plot against Jia Min.

However, he was still given the last place, which proved that the emperor was still merciful.

This is a warning to him, but also a punishment.

Of course, this signal is not only for Ma Shangde, but also for the Ma family and even the Ma family's alliance.

From now on, the future of Ma Shangde and even the Ma family will depend on the results of the investigation, and on the performance of the Ma family and its allies, as well as the likes and dislikes of the emperor.

From the first class to the second class and then to the third class, Li Yuan finished reading one by one, and the Xinke Scholars came forward to express their gratitude.The emperor said a few official words to encourage and look forward to, and rewarded the champion of martial arts with armor, and the new scholars began to withdraw.

Then start copying and posting the rankings.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Jia Min let out a long breath, and the dust finally settled.

Although he didn't get the No. [-] martial arts scholar that he expected at the beginning, he was already very satisfied to get Tanhua.

He felt that the ranking given to him by the emperor might be even lower than that of Tanhua, so it would be nice to give him a top two.

I gave him a chance today, probably as compensation for what happened to him this morning.However, correspondingly, it also means that he must continue to give up the responsibility for the mastermind behind the scenes.All the results can only be reported to the emperor after the criminal department investigates, and then the emperor's ruling shall prevail.

This kind of matter is naturally not as simple as Ma Shangde himself, a young man. After tracing, even the elders of the Ma family, Niu family, Liu family and Chen family cannot escape.

Even if the emperor does not deal with them, the handle is still in the hands of the emperor.As long as the emperor is willing, he can use this matter to attack them at any time.

In this game, the Ma family is undoubtedly the biggest loser.Followed by Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and Chen Ruiwen's family.

Not only did Marchant fail to get a good ranking, but he also fell behind and left hidden dangers.

Jia Min is considered a limited winner.Although Tanhua is not as good as the No. [-] pick, she is also one of the top three, which is enough to comfort her.

His greatest victory was defeating Niu Jizong and others' conspiracy against him.I believe that with this lesson, they will not dare to act rashly against themselves in the future.

The biggest winner is the emperor, who successfully exploited the conflict between Jia Min and those families, and at the almost negligible cost of advancing Jia Min's ranking by a few ranks, he can play with the Niu family and other families from now on. In applause.

After leaving the palace, without restraint, the Xinke Scholars relaxed.Start congratulating each other.

Even those who were lower in the rankings did not feel depressed.

The ranking is a little lower, but it's just a little lower among the hundred or so people. Looking at the whole country, they are still the best one out of ten thousand.Returning to his hometown is also the object of everyone's attention, and he is ready to return home.

Zhou Tong, Zuo Linliang and Jia Min undoubtedly received the most congratulations.

The three of them didn't know each other before, but this time it was the first time they met formally.However, it was also because each other's performance was relatively good before, and I still heard about it.

"Little brother congratulates the two elder brothers."

Jia Min sincerely congratulated the two.

"Jia Tanhua is being polite, but I feel a little ashamed. If Jia Tanhua hadn't had an accident, the champion should have been yours."

What Zhou Tong said was very sincere, and Zuo Linliang who was on the side also echoed.

"You two brothers are too polite. I really don't have that kind of life. I admire you very much."

While talking, the patrol battalion over there came over, and asked Zhou Tong to put on the military champion armor given by the emperor just now, and was escorted by the patrol battalion to parade through the streets, and then returned to the first place.

This is the unique glory of the champion of martial arts, which is not available to others.

Of course, others also have their own glory, and the team that announces the good news is also very cool.It is a big deal for any family to produce a Jinshi.

Being able to win the Jinshi marks the entry into the ranks of mid-level officials.And because of his excellent academic qualifications, his future career is also promising.If you can be an official, you don't have to worry about money. You can not only honor your ancestors, but also shade your descendants.

Fengtian Sun Yuanfei won the No. 20 six, Shaanxi Ma Qingshan won the No. 70 nine, the two found Jia Min, congratulated each other, and met for a drink.

The two of them live in other places, so they are not in a hurry.Jia Min was intercepted in the morning. It is estimated that the news has reached the mansion by now, so he has to go back to report to his family that he is safe.In addition, he won Tanhua and needed to announce the good news to his family, so he wanted to decline.

It just so happened that Feng Ziying had been waiting here, and when he found Jia Min, he entrusted Feng Ziying to report to a mansion.Tell the old lady that I still have some things to do here, and that everything is fine, and I will go back to the house at night to greet my ancestors.

In fact, he doesn't need to worry about reporting the letter.The family will definitely send people to watch the list, and the court will also send people to deliver the good news.However, this gesture still needs to be done.

So Jia Min followed Ma Qingshan and Sun Yuanfei through Zhengyang Gate and headed for Dashilan.

The fact that Ma Qingshan invited him to dinner was exactly what he wanted.When he came out at Yinshi in the morning, he didn't get a drop of water, and he was already thirsty and hungry after rushing all the way.

"A few days ago, I ate at a restaurant here. It was very authentic. We will return to this restaurant."

As Ma Qingshan said, he led the way and led Jia Min and Sun Yuanfei to the Xiankelai restaurant.

When he got to the door, he saw Qiu Liang leading a group of soldiers busy here.

Seeing Jia Min, Qiu Liang rushed up to meet him. When he heard that Jia Min had won the prize, he was very excited and congratulated him repeatedly.

"Come here, come here, all of you, let me introduce you, this is my brother, who has just won the prize of Xinke Tanhua."

Qiu Liang called his men over and showed off to them.Most of these soldiers were seen in Dongdan in the morning, and they already knew what happened to Jia Min this morning, so they left with flattery and good words.

"Why did Brother Min come here?"

"We are all hungry and want to eat something here."

As Jia Min spoke, he introduced Ma Qingshan and Sun Yuanfei to Qiu Liang.

"Oh, brother Min, this is a coincidence. Do you know whose business this cyclamen is?"

"Whose family, could it be yours? Then my meal will be in vain."

"I really wish Brother Min could eat me for free. Unfortunately, I don't have that blessing. This cyclamen was opened by Lu Bawang's son."

How can it be so coincidental?

"Unfortunately, we came a step late, and they have already slipped away. Brother Min, who was in high school, was supposed to congratulate, but he was busy with business, so he had to wait for the next time. If you want to eat, you might as well go ahead, there is a new one opened It’s called a buffet, but it’s very fresh, and the business is booming.”

buffet?
Jia Min immediately became interested?People in this era also play this trick?No way?Could it be that there are other traversers coming?
It's worth checking out.

The buffet is not far from Hu's Winery, walking over, just at the entrance of Hu's Winery, I saw Hu Yidao talking to someone.

Seeing Jia Min, Hu Yiyi hurried over to say hello, asked about Jia Min's martial arts, and when he heard that he won the Tanhua, he congratulated repeatedly.

"Brother Min, it's a coincidence that you came earlier. It just so happens that a new cafeteria has opened here. It's very interesting. I'll be the host of it today. Don't give up."

Hu Yidao is an old acquaintance. Jia Min is also responsible for his achievements today, and the two have a good personal relationship.

Jia Min stopped being polite and followed Hu Yiyi.

After walking tens of meters, I saw an apparently new store: Ziwei Sheren Buffet.

Ziwei sheren?How is this name so familiar?

Isn't the ancestor of Baochai's family Ziwei Sheren?Could it be that Baochai opened this buffet?
