Start the county magistrate, sign in Beiming Shengong

Page 90

The second round, the government examination, is usually held in April every year, and is invigilated by people sent by the county governors and state capitals in various places, and those who pass are considered scholars.

Only when you become a scholar can you enter the county schools in various places, not only enjoy the treatment of the imperial court, but also have a monthly payment of silver.

In addition, you don't kneel when you see an official, and you don't need to pay taxes and food.

The third, the State Examination, is held every two years, usually on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth of autumn.

The invigilators are the governor, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, officials at all levels in the state capital, and people appointed by the imperial court.

After passing, it is Juren.

After becoming a Juren, you are eligible to go to Shengjing and take the Beijing test.

The Beijing test is held every five years, and those who pass it can already enter the court as an official.

Among them, the best ones can refer to the palace examination, which is the invigilator selected by His Majesty himself.

When Su Ying passed the exam, he didn't see His Majesty, Emperor Shenwu, but the prince invigilating the exam.

Simply hit.

And the reason why he was able to come to Ningyang City as the county magistrate when he came out was also the result of the struggle and balance of all parties.

This road to pass the exam is even more terrifying than thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Not to mention Jinshi, even if you want to be a high school graduate, strength, mentality, and luck are all indispensable.

I don't know how many people have good aptitude, but they just can't pass the county test, and they have a gray hair all their lives.

There are five or six of them in front of everyone.

Therefore, many students are active in their minds and are ready to find another way.

Be a Gongsheng!

As long as the county magistrate recommends them and passes the approval of the county magistrate and the governor, they can be directly promoted to the Imperial College in the capital to study as a tribute student.

The capital is full of opportunities, and it is a better choice.

Therefore, when Su Ying said this, many people's eyes immediately lit up, as if a pervert who had stayed in the Monk Temple for three years saw a stunning beauty.

"My lord, this is absolutely impossible. Gongsheng is a high-quality talent selected from various places, how can he use it for trading?"

"A deal? What deal? I'm inspecting the county school, and I'm about to see if there are any top talents recommended to Beijing. How can it be considered a deal?"

Su Ying said expressionlessly.

Does this work too?

Everyone looked at each other.

"Don't worry, I keep my promise. I will do what I say. Whoever has clues, I can directly recommend you to Beijing! In addition, if the clues provided can help me catch the murderer, I will give you extra money." I will reward 100 taels, gold!!"

1000 taels of silver?

As soon as these words came out, it was even more attractive than entering Beijing as a tribute student.

Going to the capital just means that there are more opportunities, but it doesn't mean that you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune after going there.

But 1000 taels is a waste of money!

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all quite moved.

However, they only knew that the female student hanged herself, but they really didn't know what clues there were.

At this moment, a slightly trembling voice sounded.

"My... my lord, I know!"

Su Ying looked up, and saw in the last row, a young man wearing a washed-white Confucian robe, with a pale complexion and chapped lips raised his hand and said.

He was in his twenties, and his clothes were a little thin, with a few patches on them.

"you are?"

Su Ying frowned and asked.

"Master Hui, the student's surname is Zhao and his name is Feng. He is from Zhongshan Village, Ningyang County."

The young man named Zhao Feng pursed his lips and replied respectfully.

"Zhao Feng? Good! You come with me! Dean Chen, take me to a quiet room."

Su Ying ordered coldly.

"Huh, Zhao Feng? He seems to be in the same village as the girl student who died?"

"Yes, I heard that they grew up together."

"My childhood sweetheart, I don't know how she died..."

Everyone was discussing, Dean Chen opened his eyes, and said solemnly: "Silence! The county magistrate is in front of you, whispering to each other, how decent is it?"

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

"Master Su, this way please."

Su Ying nodded, and then led people to walk inside.

Chapter 93 I want to eat fish!

After bypassing several courtyards, Su Ying came to a courtyard gate.

"My lord, there is no one here."

Dean Chen slightly arched his hands.

"Then please wait outside for a while."

After speaking, Su Ying directly led Zhao Feng into the inner hall.

"Tell me, what do you know?"

After Su Ying sat down, she looked at the charcoal stove beside her, and flicked it lightly with the tongs.

thump!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Zhao Feng knelt down directly.

"I beg my lord to be the master! I beg my lord to be the master!"

"You get up first."

Su Ying frowned: "You haven't said anything yet, how can I decide for you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng got up slowly, pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "About two months ago, a friend from the same township of the student hanged himself suddenly. Her name was Huang Xiaolan! Moreover, when she died, she was pregnant, and someone was there In her dormitory, a suicide note was found, but the students read it carefully, and the suicide note was forged!"

"Forgery? What evidence do you have?"

A strange color flashed in Su Ying's eyes.

"The reason why the students know that the suicide note is forged! It's because the real suicide note is here!"

While speaking, Zhao Feng carefully took out a thumb-sized bamboo tube from his cuff.

"Lord, please see."

Su Ying took it, and pulled out a roll of extremely crumpled letter paper from the bamboo tube.

I saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful, but a little messy. Besides, there were a few tears.

"Is it true what is said?"

Su Ying's expression turned cold.

"Yes!"

Zhao Feng nodded, and said firmly: "Xiaolan came to me suddenly one night and asked me to take this bamboo tube back to my hometown. Later, I left a few days late because of something, but she hanged herself to death unexpectedly. Her hometown only For the only parents, I was afraid that they would not be able to bear the blow, so I secretly stayed behind."

"The Yamen is the arrow, who shot it? Who is Zhang Fu mentioned in this letter?"

"Master Hui, he is also a student. Because only this method seems to be able to attract the attention of adults. As for Zhang Fu, he is a talented scholar of the county, and his uncle is Zhang Liang, the magistrate of the county."

"Zhang Liang?"

Su Ying nodded, his expression suddenly turned cold.

He hated this kind of thing the most in his life, and he will not be responsible after playing with others.

Especially in this era when one's reputation is so important, one can imagine how desperate, helpless, and fearful Huang Xiaolan was at that time!

Because as soon as this happens, her life will be completely ruined.

"Does the county magistrate Zhang Liang know about this?"

Su Ying asked.

"I don't know. The student secretly inquired that Zhang Liang is an upright person. If he knew that his nephew had done this, he would definitely kill his relatives. It should be his parents who helped hide it."

"so....."

Su Ying nodded, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Liang really wanted to cover up, then Su Ying couldn't save him, so he could only deal with it together.

"Besides, there are many people in the college who know about it. They all know that Huang Xiaolan's death was not an accident. If a student tells half a lie, they are willing to be burned to death!"

Zhao Feng said with firm eyes!

"Without evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convict people based on your one-sided words."

Su Ying frowned, paused, and said: "Furthermore, this suicide note only has narratives. Although Zhang Fu is mentioned in it, it can also be said to be forged."

"My lord, handwriting cannot be forged!"

When Zhao Feng heard this, anger welled up in his eyes.

Su Ying glanced at him, and said calmly: "Why can't it be forged? Has anyone witnessed that this was written by Huang Xiaolan? There are many masters in the academy, and the handwriting is mere handwriting. As long as you have the heart, it is not a big problem to want to forge."

"My lord, I beg you to avenge Huang Xiaolan. Zhang Fu has always been arrogant and domineering in the academy. The female student he harmed is not Huang Xiaolan alone! There are others! If you don't believe me, you can investigate openly and secretly!"

When Su Ying heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes: "I've come all the time, and I'm still making an unannounced visit. Let's talk about it when we go out."

After finishing speaking, Su Ying pushed the door open and walked out. Dean Chen and others outside the door also looked at each other and followed quickly.

After a while, Su Ying came to the crowd again, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "As for Huang Xiaolan's death in the academy, I have already found the murderer."

"My lord, who is so bold? Is it really a student in the county school?"
