Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Cui Xie calmly asked people to continue the examination.

The rice and vegetable meat that should be received, because he is in his hometown, should be replaced with silver, but the silver is gone; some medicinal materials that are said to replenish the body and nourish the qi were sent, and they were shaken, but they were full of scum. It looks like a scent of mildew; there are pen, ink, paper and inkstone: the pen is two rabbits, the paper is a soft yellow bamboo paper, and the ink is soot ink with two cents of silver and one ingot. In many shops, no tents are provided. Use this ink.

Pengyan contrasted and said what they were supposed to receive in the mansion, but none of them could match.

The things that these two people sent may have been allocated to them by the Cui family's parents, and these words may also have been instructed by Mrs. Xu. They were only instructed by others and could not help themselves. But their involuntary performance was enough to ruin Cui Xie, and it would even deny him the opportunity to pursue an official career.

More than a dozen scholars have been rented on this street, some of whom are well-known talents. Together with their relatives, friends, and classmates, their influence is enough to cover a county's Shilin, and even influence the ideas of teaching and county magistrates. As soon as Cui Ming and the others arrived at the old mansion, they clamored outside the door with great fanfare, openly saying that he was not filial, which was meant for these scholars.

Unfilial piety to parents, beating brothers, lying into sex... all the charges are fatal. If today's matter cannot be resolved on the spot, and let them pour dirty water on him and leave, he will leave an indelible notoriety among these scholars and even the entire Shilin in Qian'an County!

Before entering the examination room, candidates in the Ming dynasty had to ask five children to secure mutual insurance, or one county student to guarantee each other, otherwise they were not allowed to enter the venue at all. He bears these charges, he sees his eyes, and his hands point to him. Even if he wants to spend money to ask a student to be a guarantor when he takes the test, no one dares to insure him at the risk of damaging his reputation.

His household registration is in Qian'an, where he lives, and it is impossible to go back to Beijing to take the exam. As for Cui Langzhong's shadow supervisor, Cui Heng has been assigned to Cui Heng, and his family will not give him money to pay for the supervisor. It is impossible for him to bypass the county test and take the country test.

In this way, he completely stopped his scientific research road.

Worthy of being from a family of poetry and rituals, a person who became the mistress of an official and **** would not give people any room to stand up.

But when he asked people to spread out these shabby things, and asked Pengyan to tell his own examples one by one, the mood of the crowd around the audience was also mobilized under the contrast of the contrast. Some people even shouted outside the enclosure: "Little son, quickly kill these two wicked servants who robbed the master's house. We would like to go to court to testify to you!"

Those scholars on the street also unknowingly turned to Cui Ming's ill feeling towards him. They felt that those words he had just said were meant to deprive him of his belongings and deliberately said to corrupt the master's reputation, so that the little master would not dare to speak up.

Cui Xie saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart.

Cui Ming thought he was a lost young master. He was taught by his wife. He could be detained as he wanted, and he could be bullied as he wanted. But as long as he is stripped of the "madam" name given to him, his behavior is to deceive the master with a servant and steal the property from the home. As long as he is sent to the county office, it is a felony worthy of exile.

Even if Mrs. Xu became angry after knowing this, she couldn't admit that she wanted to detain him, let alone defend a servant who stole family wealth.

To put it bluntly, the private tactics of Zhaidou are only applicable to the wife's power and power, and it is useless to spread it under the sun.

Standing among the crowd, Cui Xie looked at the gray faces of Cui Ming and the coachman. He secretly sighed and asked them loudly: "My family has always been filial to fathers and sons, and brothers are harmonious. Why has there been discord? I came back to study this time because of me. Sooner or later at home to help my grandparents, my elders were worried that they would affect my studies, so they sent me back to my hometown. As for how I was injured on the way back to my hometown... This matter involves official affairs of the court, I dare not say. But Jin Yiwei and Tongzhou government office are both up and down. I know, that adult handed the post to the doctor’s mansion a long time ago. How can my parents blame me?"

The three words "Jin Yiwei" immediately shook Cui Ming and the neighbors watching the lively surroundings. Even though there were some contradictions in their family, they didn't dare to speak.

Cui Xie swept around calmly, and continued to say to the two of them: "It's fine for you to steal my things, but you shouldn't spread rumors and slander the owner for the sake of coveting property, let alone falsely claim that my parents want to detain me. The cost of this, to provoke the love between my father and son, mother and son."

He raised his head and arched his hands at the crowd: "I cannot keep such a wicked servant in the Cui family. I will send them to see the officials, and ask the county lord to preside over justice, and hope that your high neighbors will testify for me."

Several Taojing workers hired by his family cried out: "We are willing to testify for the little son! These two evil servants are deceiving others, and Qingtian Bairi dares to reverse the black and white and frame the master! If it is not for the little son to be knowledgeable, directly After understanding the details of the two thief men and women, I still don’t know how many things they were told to swindle away!

Several neighbours’ helpers also said: “Our diligent people have a reputation for being exhausted by such evil servants. Such things that deceive the Lord will not be unjustly killed here!”

Er Guan Shi has been tied into rice dumplings, piled on the ground speechless, suffocating breathlessly. The coachman slapped a spirit, knelt down and begged bitterly: "Master, I am a driver, I don't know anything, you must not treat me and Cui Ming as a group of thieves who kill a thousand swords..."

Cui Xie waved his hand: "Let's talk to the master after the county government."

He blushed and white, and suddenly shouted: "I, I, I can testify, it's the second manager who is greedy for you! I saw him on the way, and went to the half-door to find a girl! How much can he do with a job? Silver, isn't it all because of greed of you and Cui Yuan, who stolen your clothes and medicinal materials halfway through!"

Cui Ming's eyes were about to go out of his sockets, and he barked at him, blushing with a thick neck.

The coachman turned his head and ignored him, and looked at Cui Xie eagerly, begging him to give him a way out because he hadn't slandered his master before.

Cui Xie nodded slightly: "There is some truth, then you can be a witness to the court."

He asked Cui Yuan to bring his own car over, so that the two servants would share the two cars, so as not to collude with confessions, he would also go to the county office with the car to file a complaint. Everyone persuaded him: "It's a shame to go to court to file a complaint. You, a little official, don't have to go to court in person, just ask your old Cui to take the testimony."

Zhao Yuanwai also asked someone to take his grandson's birth post to the county, and ask the county lord to help deal with the evil servant.

Cui Xie thanked them and said firmly: "The servants have done evil, and it is up to your neighbors to help you to win this thief slave and return my family's innocence. When they are sent to the county office, you will have to go to court to testify. , If I, the master, do nothing and just wait at home, how can I feel at ease!"

Cui Yuan is not enough, and he is honest. If this second manager comes to the hall and borrows the identity of Cui Langzhong and Mrs. Xu to press him down, and the coachman turns against him, the great situation created right now may be reversed, so I should go there in person to feel relieved.

He insisted on getting in the car, and several enthusiastic neighbors and the Taojing carpenter who worked for his family followed to the county office to testify for him.

Cui Yuan wrote a letter on behalf of the scholar who spent two silvers in Fuqian Street to sell the characters, asking the scholar to write the words "Chenghua Bingxu Nian Jinshi, Cui Mou of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Households" greatly, and enter the office. Handed the testimonials.

Soon, a small official brought Cui Xie's master and servant into the flower hall, and the others took them into the wing separately, and brought tea, and asked him to wait while eating. He asked Cui Yuan to give a reward of two taels of silver. The little official thanked him graciously and whispered: "Today there is an imperial envoy who is coming to this county. The elder and the second elder of the county are out of the city to welcome the imperial post. Please take a seat, Dian Shi Master Chen has received the pleadings, so he will be promoted to the second court for questioning."

In fact, the whole county was busy welcoming imperial envoys at this time. If it was another case, Chen Dianshi would want to take the case and send people away. But the bright and shining "Chenghua Bingxu Nian Jinshi, Hubu Langzhong (son on this piece of paper made him think twice about it, not simply sending people out.

Forget it, the imperial envoy didn't know when to enter the city. He was here just asking for a confession. It took no time to put the two servants in custody.

Chen Dianshi was promoted to the second court and asked the book office to bring the plaintiff to the court.

Because he received the paper in advance and knew that Cui Xie was the son of the current official, he didn't let him kneel, and ordered someone to move a chair to let him sit and hear the trial. But Cui Ming didn't have such good treatment. When he entered the door, Zao Li was pressed down to the hall, kneeling and waiting for interrogation.

Zaoli took out the cloth from Cui Ming's mouth as he went to the second hall.

He knew this was his last chance to struggle. If he was convicted of theft, his wife would definitely not care about him anymore, instead, she would be convicted of theft in order not to take the reputation of the son of his ex-wife. Only by completely ruining the reputation and future of the young master, and letting his wife know that he is useful and worth saving, can he earn a way to survive!

So as soon as he spoke freely, he cried out:

"I’m really a monthly rule that never steals a petty official! This monthly rule is set by my doctor’s master and his wife, in order to sharpen the young master’s temper so that he will not be outside like at home, relying on his own doctor. The identity of the prince in his hometown amassed ill-gotten wealth, bullied men and women, controlled lawsuits, in the village of fish and meat..."

This servant knows a lot of words. The whole hall, from Dian Shi to Soap, looked at Cui Xie, and couldn't put him with these words.

He sat upright on the chair, with his back straight, his eyebrows were still childish, but his eyes already had a calmness that an adult could hardly reach, his spirit was pure, and he didn't look like a person who would do evil.

What's more, he was born with a good appearance. If he was a few years older and didn't have to bully men and women, he wouldn't know how many beautiful people would come to watch.

Chen Dianshi couldn't help but smiled, pointing to Cui Ming and said: "You want to slander the master and say something with eyebrows, so that you can say such a shadowless thing. If I believe it, wouldn't I make Shangguan laugh to death? What a thief, If you don’t call, you can come—"

A few tiger-wolf-like Zaoli rushed to suppress Cui Ming, and the two bars pinched his legs, and the tip of the board was hanging on his ass. Chen Dianshi drew out the lottery. He wanted to play dozens of boards and then ask questions, but was worried that the time to play the boards was too long. If he happened to catch up with the imperial commission, would he continue to play well or not?

He hesitated so much, and Cui Ming screamed: "Adults don’t fight, the villains are true! My eldest and young master did go around at home all day, beating and scolding brothers, so he was offended by his wife before he was sent Here. I was also ordered to ask him if he knows the lesson and he has the intention to repent, so he can go back to tell his wife. The adults can also go to the Cui Mansion in Jingli for questioning. The Cui family knows this!"

Chen Dianshi couldn't help but glanced at Cui Xie. Cui Xie stood up and gave him a deep nod, and said in a deep voice, "My lord Mingjian. Not to mention that the late birth and his younger brother have been close and harmonious since they were young. He never flicked his finger; he was late birth. I really taught my brother for some reason, that is my duty as the eldest brother. How can parents resent the eldest son and not provide food and clothing because the eldest son disciplines the younger ones?"

Cui Ming stared at him, his throat was blocked with grief and anger, his eyes were red.

You, a young man who has been studying and learning rituals since childhood, how can you be so fluent in telling lies, you are more familiar than someone who was ordered to ruin your reputation and made up a lot of words on the road!
