"It's no longer a question of whether they will do this." King Jin was also in a very depressed mood at the moment.
Enke is about to happen, and Song Wuya is very clear about who is behind the scenes when such an important event occurs.But what is the use of being clear?He has no evidence to prove all this.
It is perfectly normal for the governor to try his best to execute these cases.After all, if these students were arrested before, I am afraid they may not be allowed to leave.It was only because the candidates had asked the government for someone that they had no choice but to release them.But now that King Jin is here, although these candidates are injured, there is no guarantee that they will not reveal this matter in the future, so they must make these candidates unable to speak again.
There is nothing wrong with accusing them of crimes, they have enough crimes to make these disciples be killed.
When King Jin came here, it seemed that he had become a tool for them to kill people with a knife. In this way, even if someone wants to reverse the case for these cases in the future, King Jin will also be involved.Invisibly, they have a backer like King Jin.
For all of this, King Jin was naturally able to see through, and it was precisely because of this that he asked Song Wuya to help make up his mind.
"My lord, I'm at a disadvantage now, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to recover from this situation. But I'm sure of one thing." After weighing things up, Song Wuya expressed his thoughts to King Jin out. "Two days later it will be Enke. At that time, candidates will enter the examination room, and everything will be carried out according to the original rules. Once the imperial examination is over, don't rush to mark the papers. We can let them take the exam again, and the results of the two times will be combined into one. With such a comparison, something shocking will definitely happen.”
"Haha! Brother Song, you are really vicious. Thanks to you for coming up with such a method. There has never been such a precedent in all dynasties." After hearing this, King Jin clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Presumably, those who cheated People, I never imagined that there would be a second exam, and it would be impossible to show your face when the time comes."
"That's right! The most important thing now is this Enke exam. As long as the imperial court can recruit useful talents, that's the most important thing." Seeing that King Jin agreed with his idea, Song Wuya immediately He added: "However, during the second imperial examination, the prince must ask your guards to keep a close eye on these examiners. You must not let them do any tricks."
"This is natural." King Jin nodded, and the matter was considered settled.
Song Wuya got up very reassuringly and said: "My lord, this time the mystery of these twenty candidates can be solved, it depends on the results of this Enke exam. When the results are released, I'm afraid this matter Things will become very clear.”
"Brother Song is right. It will be clear at a glance who is behind the scenes." King Jin nodded.
After talking about this matter, Song Wuya thought of another matter, and he immediately asked King Jin: "My lord, hasn't the chief examiner, Zhu Yuanlong, come yet?"
"Yeah! This king is also wondering about this matter. It stands to reason that he should have arrived here long before this king. But this is already approaching the scientific examination, and he hasn't appeared yet." Jin Wang frowned, Speaking of Zhu Yuanlong, although neither of them had a good opinion of him, he was the chief examiner of the imperial examination after all, and if he wasn't there, it would really be unjustifiable.
Neither Song Wuya nor Jin Wang knew the whereabouts of the chief examiner Zhu Yuanlong.When King Jin came here, he was spared by this matter. Now that he was talking about Zhu Yuanlong, he felt that it was necessary to inquire about Zhu Yuanlong.
"Come here, let me immediately ask the provincial government about the whereabouts of Lord Zhu Yuanlong, the chief examiner." King Jin immediately ordered the guards to find out Zhu Yuanlong's whereabouts as soon as possible.
After explaining this matter, King Jin turned his head to look at Song Wuya.Song Wuya looked into King Jin's eyes, immediately got up and said: "I have nothing else to do, so I will take my leave."
After leaving Jinwang's other courtyard, Song Wuya returned to his residence, and told everything that happened there just now.
After the whole incident became quite clear, Bai Zhuo murmured: "Brother Wu Ya, in this way, these examinations will be pushed after the imperial examinations?"
"Well, that's right." Song Wuya nodded: "The most important thing now is the imperial examination. As for whether these candidates are members of Wuliangjiao, there is no way to be sure. King Jin didn't want to kill someone by mistake, so no Make a decision. However, the governor of the provincial government is constantly persecuting King Jin, and he also created such an illusion to confuse King Jin."
"This abominable guy, he's really doing anything for money." Bai Zhuo beat the table angrily, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Wu Ya, I think we should first investigate the details of this provincial lord. If it really doesn't work, let's play some dirty tricks on him so that he can restrain himself."
When things got to this point, Bai Zhuo actually said such a thing, looking like a hooligan.
Song Wuya waved his hand and rejected him: "Brother Bai, we can't act rashly now! Our identities have not been exposed yet, but during the imperial examination, we don't need to hide it. I think this time It has nothing to do with the Boundless Sect, otherwise, how could we not be followed after we came here?"
"That's true, we really haven't found anyone following us. The usual method of the Wuliang Sect is to monitor us. If you look at it from this perspective, maybe they really didn't do it." Bai Zhuo nodded in agreement with Song Wu Such a statement.
Now that they are in a stalemate, there is no need to bother investigating the matter of the provincial governor. Once there is a problem with the results of the imperial examination, all of them will be involved, so there is no need to investigate?
"It seems that before the imperial examination starts, I think it is necessary to look for that young master Tang again, maybe this young master Tang still knows something." Song Wuya set his sights on that young master Tang.
This person is very arrogant, and judging from the situation when he wrote the poem in the inn, this person is by no means a man of the city. It must be a little thing to get something out of his mouth. very simple thing.
Unexpectedly, his proposal was directly rejected by Situ Wen: "Wu Ya, I think you should not make extra trouble. Although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, at least it has not reached an irreversible situation. You met with the chief of the yamen a few times before, and the other party may not doubt your identity. If you contact Young Master Tang rashly, if they find out, they may be aware of it."
Situ Wen's reminder is also reasonable. At this time, things have not continued to develop in a bad direction, and the situation is already stable.If, through this Young Master Tang, he wanted to find out some falsehoods, but instead calculated himself into it, then things would be bad.
"By the way, Wuya. I just heard from you that Zhu Yuanlong, the chief examiner in the Enke Jiangnan examination room, has not arrived at the provincial capital yet?" Situ Wen asked about Zhu Yuanlong after reminding Song Wuya .
"Yeah! I don't know what this second-rank official is doing? The imperial examination is about to start, but he, the chief examiner, hasn't shown up yet!" Song Wuya said coldly.
"Then what happened to him?" Situ Wen was even worried.
But when she said that, Song Wuya didn't know what to say.It is not impossible to say something, otherwise how could he have delayed for so long.
Chapter 6 Identity Exposure
Chapter 6 Identity Exposure
“意外?”白卓大惊:“恐怕不太可能吧?堂堂朝廷二品官员,而且还是此次江南考场的主考官,想必出入必定是前呼后应的,怎么可能出现意外。我看多半是在哪个地方,因为降雨的原因耽搁了吧?”白卓倒是想得开,不过说的也对,毕竟怎么说也是堂堂朝廷的二品大员,怎么可能说意外就意外呢。宋无涯默不做声的看着他们几个,此时他心里顺着司徒雯的猜测,联想着可能发生的事情。“如果说,这位主考官真的出现意外,而没办法担任此次主考任务,那你们觉得谁最有可能接替他的位置呢?”宋无涯见两人都不说话了,开口提了一句。他这话一出口,白卓毫不犹豫便道:“无涯兄,这还用想吗?那自然是晋王殿下了。”“那如果晋王不来此地呢?”宋无涯立刻又问。“这……这肯定是要让主考官之下的其他陪考来接替了。”白卓再次给出了答案。听到这个答案之后,宋无涯才满意的点点头:“那么这个最可能接替主考官位置的人,恐怕就只有这位省府大人了。”“无涯兄,你不会是觉得主考官祝元龙,是被省府大人故意给拦在了外边吧?”白卓明白了宋无涯为什么要这么说了。他点了点头,他心里所想的正是这个意思。毕竟此次恩科,出现这样的情况,也完全是出于他们意料的。而宋无涯和白卓的到来,以及紧接着来到此地的晋王,绝对不再他们考虑之内,这可基本上是临时决定的。他们两人来到这里,完全是路过。而晋王来到这里,也只是皇上口谕之下的事情,他原本的任务是来这里南巡的。如此一来,他们三个人可就全都不在这一切考虑之内了。如果他们三个被考虑其中的话,必定是不会给这个省府大人机会的。可事情怪就怪在这里了,那个祝元龙在宋无涯和白卓他们看来,绝对是有问题的。之所以这样想,也完全是他们先入为主的意见。毕竟此次恩科考试,让他们感觉到了其中的黑暗。而身为主考官的祝元龙,那自然是脱不开干系的。晋王来此的目的,无非就是皇帝不放心这位祝元龙,因为祝元龙并非是他自己钦点的人,而是其他大臣的推举。这么来看的话,单从这一点来说祝元龙这人有问题,好像有些太偏颇。可如果说他没问题的话,可他又让皇帝不放心。现在,他依旧没有出现在这省城内。假若是被司徒雯给说中了,那这祝元龙就未必和这件事情有关系了。想到此处,宋无涯再次陷入了沉思。“给我搜!”屋内的四人,还在琢磨着祝元龙的事情呢,这外边却突然一下子炸开了锅。随着院门哐当一声巨响之下,被人从外砸开之后,紧接着便是这一声怒喝。杂乱无章的脚步声一瞬间响彻了整个院子,宋无涯几人听到外边的动静,立刻起身向外走去。刚来到门前,房门就已经被狠狠的推开了,几名衙役一脸怒色站在门前,看到屋内的四人,立刻冲了上来。“给我将他们拿下!”衙役怒吼之中,上来就要拿下宋无涯四人。“你们想干什么?”白卓愤怒的吼叫起来。这一切来的实在是太突然了,他们根本不清楚这究竟是怎么一回事,为什么会有衙役来这里捉拿他们。白卓这话音刚刚落下,衙役们就已经开始动手了。“慢着!”宋无涯突然大吼一声:“让你们的头子出来说话。”“哈哈!我说小兄弟,别来无恙啊!”事出必有因,宋无涯可不想糊里糊涂的被这些衙役带走。他根本猜测不出来,这些人抓自己的原因。但他隐隐觉得这事情自己应该是知道的。一声大笑之下,一人来到们门前。宋无涯看向那人,心里立刻明白了这一切。来人和他可谓是老相识了,已经打过不少照面了,正是那名怀疑过宋无涯的衙役头子。“是你!你要抓我?”宋无涯看着衙役头子,面露疑惑之色。抓人必定要有一个抓人的理由,就像那些举子一样,至少也给他们安上一个偷盗他人财物的罪名,可现在他们还被蒙在鼓里,都不知道究竟是出了什么事情。“带出来说话!”衙役头子冷冷的说了一句,转身来到院内。宋无涯四人在衙役的团团包围之下,来到了院内。空旷的院子里,一下子宽敞了起来,来的衙役人数还不少,足有十几人。“我为什么抓你,用不着我和你多说吧?想必你自己心里也应该清楚的很。”衙役头子没有直说,反倒是和宋无涯绕起了圈子。要说被抓的原因,宋无涯心里自然清楚。显然这衙役头子觉得宋无涯一定是知晓了他们太多的事情,所以才要将他抓起来的。可这事情,恐怕他不好明明白白的说出来,必定要给他们安上一个其他的罪名。“是因为我们是无量教的逆贼吗?”宋无涯冷笑一声,倒是自己给自己安了一个不小的罪名出来。白卓一听他这话,都吓出冷汗来了。“无涯兄,这可不能乱说啊!”“你倒是聪明,把我这点心思全给看穿了。你说的没错,我就是怀疑……不对,是确定你们就是无量教的逆贼,所以将你们捉拿。现在你们可还有什么话要说吗?”衙役头子冷冷的说着,要给宋无涯他们定的罪名,还真是这无量教叛党的罪。这可让宋无涯觉得好笑了,“哈哈!你可真是会说笑话。你确定我们是无量教的逆贼,那你可有什么证据吗?”“证据?证据自然是有的。”衙役头子满脸轻蔑,冲着一旁的几名衙役耸了耸下巴。那几名衙役立刻会意,直接就往房间里去。很快房间里边就传来了翻箱倒柜的声音,也不过是眨巴眼的功夫,这几名衙役就出来了。“怎么样?搜到什么证据了吗?”衙役头子淡然的说着。这还用他问?既然他敢这样肯定,那必定是早已经有了准备,想必搜不到证据都难。“头儿,搜到了。”一名衙役上前回应了一声,随后突然偷笑起来:“还搜到了不少的银子呢!除此之外,还有一块做工精致的金牌呢。不过有几样东西属下看着觉得有些奇怪。您瞧这东西,我怎么看着这上边有个官字啊?”衙役一脸疑惑的将手里的东西,递交给了那衙役头子。衙役头子轻蔑的看着,可当东西落入他手中的时候,顿时一个哆嗦。放在最上边的那块金牌,险些没有被他给扔在地上。瞧着这一幕,白卓顿时得意的笑起来了。“怎么?不认识这东西吗?你要是不认识的话,找你们家省府大人,把他拿到晋王的别院内,请晋王过过目。”白卓得意的说着。眼下他们的身份是彻底的暴露了,可眼前这些衙役,竟然还想要着将他们捉拿。此时此刻,看到手中的这面金牌,都已经恐惧的不得了了。“这……这上边的是……龙!五爪金龙!”衙役头子哆嗦的话都快要说不出来了。“没错,你还真是有见识,五爪金龙都能认得出来。那你可知道,晋王身上所绣的龙,是几个爪子的?”白卓脸上的得意丝毫不减,他戏谑的看着衙役头子。衙役头子噗通一声就慌张的跪在了地上:“你是皇上?”“噗呲!”这下可好,他这样的反应,令宋无涯几人顿时乐了,忍不住笑出声来。这周围的衙役,一个个全都跟着跪在了地上。还不等他们口呼万岁的时候,白卓赶紧忙解释了一句。他可不敢自称是皇上,即便别人以为他们是皇上,那他们也不敢默认。“那你可真是想多了,你看我们这一身的凡人之气,哪点像圣上了。这五爪金龙牌,乃是圣上御赐的。见此金牌,如圣亲临。你这跪的也不冤枉。”白卓讲明了他们不是皇帝之后,立刻便示意那衙役头子看看另外的东西。“你不妨看看另外的东西。刚刚这位兄弟不是说了吗?看着那上边好像有个官字,你告诉他那是什么,免得日后还不认识。”三人都不说话,就看着白卓在这里戏弄这衙役头子。衙役头子果然听话的看向了后边的东西,当他看到那东西之后,这脸上原本就不好看的神情,此刻更是难看到了极点。“官凭!四品官员!钦差大臣!”衙役头子看着官凭,愣是将上边的内容给说了出来。刚刚还不认识这东西的那名衙役,现在可是傻眼了。他看得确实是没错,这东西上边确实是有个官字。不过他却不认识这是什么,可真是一个笑话。“头儿,这下可怎么办?咱们这下完了,居然抓人抓到了钦差大人!而且他手中还有皇上御赐的金牌,咱们会不会被杀头啊!”先前那名衙役都快要哭了。
Chapter 6 and Four
?Chapter 6 and four
The words of this yamen servant immediately made everyone tremble.
The head of the yamen servant's face was pale and bloodless. It was really unimaginable for him to have such a reversal of what was planned in such a short period of time.
The person in front of him who was going to be arrested by him turned out to be the imperial envoy of the imperial court.His move can be said to be like lighting a lamp in a latrine, courting death.
"What? Are you still planning to back down? Are you still planning to arrest us?" Bai Zhuo looked at these people kneeling in front of him, stepped forward and snatched the things from the chief yamen servant, coldly reprimanded.
But just as Bai Zhuo finished speaking, the chief yamen servant suddenly stood up and yelled, "Brothers, get up!"
Those yamen servants were stunned, listening to the words of the leader of the yamen servants, and finally stood up unsteadily.
"I think you all know it too, right? These two are imperial envoys of the imperial court!"
The head of the yamen servant suddenly spoke loudly, making everyone wonder what he was trying to do.His eyes were not on the identities of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, but on the yamen servants beside him.
"We offended the imperial envoy today, think about what will happen to us?"
The more he heard what he said, the more something was wrong. Song Wuya felt that it was definitely not a good thing for this guy to say such a thing. He immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
However, Song Wuya seemed to be talking to himself, and the chief yamen servant didn't pay any attention to him.
"I can tell you very clearly that with today's incident, I'm afraid none of us will survive!"
"How could this happen! My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
The group of yamen servants were scared out of their wits by the words of the leader of the yamen servants, many of them knelt on the ground and begged Song Wuya for mercy.
But Song Wuya didn't have time to say anything at all, the chief of the yamen servant scolded angrily: "You are still a handsome seven-foot man! Do you think they can let you go if you beg for mercy? You know, this is within the law. things, not to mention how could they let you go?"
The scene in front of him was beyond control, Song Wuya stretched out his hand to block in front of the three of them, he whispered to Bai Zhuo: "Brother Bai, look at those guys behind."
"Especially you!" The head of the yamen suddenly turned around and pointed behind Song Wuya and the others: "You caught them with your own hands, and you are the ones who are the least likely to let go!"
Under his finger pointing, the officials who surrounded Song Wuya and the others shrank back in fright, giving them a lot of space.
"Boss, what should we do then?" The yamen servants don't care about imperial envoys or not at the moment, what they are most worried about is their own life and death.
The leader of the yamen was obviously waiting for this performance from everyone, he sneered and said: "Now, we can only do one thing and keep doing two things."
"What do you want to do with us?"
This is not a good word, Bai Zhuo felt that things were going to change, so he asked angrily.
