Since the first year of Zhengde, Liu Jian and Xie Qian retired in disgrace. After Liu Jin drove the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mou Bin and replaced his own Yang Yu, he began to purify Liu Xie's old men in the court. For a moment, the prison was full of people.

The sound of court sticks is endless, the souls are constantly shackled, and the capital is also disturbed. .

So once they saw the Jinyiwei cavalry moving on the street, the passers-by were all afraid of giving in, and turned to discuss which one was unlucky.

However, this time, the Tiqi went to a certain official's house, but entered a book printing workshop.

There were as many as two or three hundred Jinyiwei dispatched this time, and surrounded the not-so-large bookstore. Then, boxes of things were lifted out, and all of them were piled up and sealed tightly.

carriage.

All the bookshops, from the shopkeepers to the engraving staff, were taken away. Although they were not shackled, they looked at the panic on everyone's faces and knew that it was a big deal.

With this attitude, the people dared not to watch it, and even stood on the street. Many people hid in the door panels of shops around them, with only a pair of eyes exposed behind the window frames.

Of course, more people locked up doors and windows, for fear of being offended.

It was not until the seal of the seal shop was stamped, and the tycoons carried a carriage and horse, and took a group of "criminal suspects" away in a mighty way, that the brave people dared to come out, looked around and started to discuss.

This sealed seal bookstore, called "Qingzhuan", is the one that has become popular in the capital for a large sum of money in the past few months.

Such a big incident and such a popular bookstore were about to catch fire in the Gongyuan, and public opinion immediately exploded.

Whether it is a restaurant, a tea shop, a guild and an inn, a test-taking candidate, a court official or an ordinary citizen, they are all guessing what happened.

"...I must have offended Eunuch Liu." Someone said with great confidence.

"That's certain. Apart from Eunuch Liu, who has such ability? That bookstore was run by Yang Zhanshi's son-in-law!"

"It might be that Yang Zhanshi offended Eunuch Liu in this matter. Don't you say that Yang Zhanshi was not allowed to enter the cabinet, but Eunuch Liu is not allowed!"

"No, look, the brothers of Eunuch Liu's parents and brothers were all granted a few days ago. It's so glorious! Tsk tsk, it's also a blessing to raise such a son..."

"Bah! Are you going to raise such a son who is so fucking like that?"

"My living dad! Slightly, softly, how dare you say this? Be careful that Dongchang arrests you and asks you to live or die!"

However, half a month ago, I gave the order to be given to the eunuch Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, the governor of the Governor's Office of the Long Army, the mother's first-rank wife, and the elder brother's thousand households of the Grain and Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Liu Jin's original surname was Tan. After entering the palace, he usually accepted his godfather and changed his surname, but he never changed it back. It's ridiculous now, I don't know how many godfathers and grandchildren are rushing to change their surname to Liu, but I don't know that he is really

The last name.

Many years have passed since his parents, and these gifts are just a false reputation, so his brother has gained some benefits.

There was no objection to this matter in the court, because... In the old days, all the brothers and nephews of the East Palace Bahu had gifts, and the court officials had no result in a fight. The people themselves were sealed in the Jinyiwei system, the emperor

The personal guards did not need to pass through the cabinet.

It was too late for Liu Jin to receive the gift now, so naturally no one was asking for trouble because of this.

Those who were talking here were afraid that there would be ears in the middle of the wall, so they didn't dare to talk about Liu Jin, so they turned to the other side.

"This eldest son-in-law of the Yang family is also a candidate for the exam today. He is Jie Yuan from Shuntian Mansion. Now there are many people who beat him in the gambling house. The biggest odds are Sanyuan and the first one..."

Every time there is a grand ceremony for talent, there are always such big and small gambling games in the capital.

"Breaking nonsense! How easy is it to be the three-yuan grade? How many three-yuan grades are there to be the three-yuan grades when fighting against the Three Emperors and Five Emperors? They are all gods and immortals who came to the earth by Wenquxing..."

"...What kind of god is going to do? Look at this attitude. Hey, if Yang Zhanshi's son-in-law is sentenced to prison, his fame may not be guaranteed. He will even win a Mao Kui! He will return the three yuan and the first...

…”

"I'll go to his grandma! I've also put twenty taels of silver in the top three yuan. Thinking that the odds are high, I'll make a big fortune with a small profit. No, I have to go and find Liu Heizi to get the money back..."

"Hahaha, you guys! Liu Heizi's black-skinned man can still spit out silver? Don't dream. This has spread all over the capital, and their ears cannot be heard? At this time,

You want to ask for it, be careful to eat his old fist."

"You're okay, you only lost twenty taels. Didn't you hear that? Old Zhou is so anxious now that he is looking for someone to ask for contact. His two aunts come to Beijing to take the exam this year and live in

His family has received Qingzhuan’s money and given it to Wen. I wonder if I can clear my relationship with you if I refund the money now. If Eunuch Liu makes a big move, I will pursue it to the end..."

Since the bookstore was sealed, it was naturally considered to be a problem in the article.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many literary inquisitions. There is no need to mention the Taizu and Chengzu periods. Even the Yingzong, Daizong, and Xianzong periods were not without them, but they were not as harsh as the early Ming Dynasty.

But it depends on when and which big guy comes to check it.

Liu Jin has become synonymous with ruthlessness in the past...

Therefore, not only many scholars who sold the article were panicked, but the officials of the Ministry of Works who sold the article also knew the terribleness of the Jinyiwei. Although the Minister of Works and Yang Zhan of their Ministry of Works were relatives, at this time, they would first save their heads.

The black shiny is important, and I don’t care whether my feet will be wronged in the future (being worn with small shoes).

The former Shangshu Mansion in Renshoufang has been very lively these two days, and they still dare not come in the daytime. They all waited for darkness to come to the curfew before the curfew. They spoke without saying a word, and they wanted to give up Runbi's credit and not be implicated.

A shameless person asked directly, "Can you say that I bought my abolished manuscript from my book boy? I don't know about this at all?"

Fortunately, the young master of the Shen family is not a person like Liu Heizi. He is not very old, but he is quite responsible. He patted his chest and promised that if the Shen family takes on anything, it will definitely not implicate you.

Not only do you want to pay money for money, but you also want to give money to shock.

The money is good, but who dares to ask for it? At this time, we are eager to clear the relationship. This group of people is not very at ease when they have guaranteed it. They come in panic and go in panic again.

Shen Rui really has no choice but to do this.

There are some words that he cannot say.

The damage to the test paper is important. The external news is blocked. The students' own silent test papers have not finally determined whether they can be used. How many rolls of paper are considered to be damaged? Is the one who destroys the paper paper or re-examination a day?

Wait until the matter is finalized, no news will be allowed to flow out.

The Hongde Hall that day was full of important officials, and they all knew the importance of it. Moreover, the little emperor played the card with this hand... It was so wild, no one knew that long live his little head was not loaded with other unreliable cards, so he also They all kept their mouths tightly.

As for the little emperor himself, he took a photo of the board and asked Liu Zhong to give Shen Rui a message in private.

To be rigorous, Qingzhuanshu Shop will take away any article or person. The article will be sent to the examiner for verification. However, the engraving staff and others are not jailed, but are temporarily locked up in the tribute court, which is delicious and delicious. Then, when things are over, they will be let go back no matter what the result is.

Because the news was sent to Shen Rui before the Jinyiwei arrived, there was no movement from the owner of Shen Rui when the Qingzhuan was "sealed".

Shen Rui had already told Xu family and the second master Chen Zhou and the third master Chen Run at the first time that it was difficult to inform the relatives and tribe members who lived in Chen Mansion.

Several tribe members were frightened when they heard the news on the street. They had seen the Jinyiwei searching the three-bedroom and nine-bedroom houses of the He family and the Shen family. Zhu Yunming and Shen were also very concerned, especially He Taizhi, who heard that they were extremely anxious in the future. He said he wanted to go to Zhang Hui to ask, and then he pulled Shen Rui privately and asked if he wanted to ask Brother Shou.

Even Shen Rui invited Zou Feng, a teacher who taught his servants and Dong Daniu's martial arts, came to Shen Rui to ask if he needed to ask the superiors for a while.

Shen Rui could only comfort everyone and said that he had sent a letter to his father-in-law's house and his uncle's house. Both of them replied and said that they would wait and see what happened first and let everyone stay calm.

Previous Dali Temple Ministers should have been among the officials who read the papers in the palace, but because Yang Zhen was Shen Rui's uncle, although other fathers and sons did not avoid suspicion, because Shen Rui's master and father-in-law were all the officials who read the papers, so there was one more. After all, my uncle was not very appropriate, so he was not a documentary reader, so he didn't stay in Hongde Hall that day and didn't know the matter.

While Yang Zhen was inquiring about the Jinyiwei, he sent someone to send a letter to the Chen Mansion to comfort him, and also wanted to tell Shen Rui not to act rashly first and then talk about it if he understood.

However, his sender had not arrived at the Shen Mansion, and Shen Rui had already sent someone over there to say that nothing big happened.

Yang Zhen only said that Yang Tinghe had given orders, and Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Rui also sent a letter to Mao Chi's house, saying that there was nothing wrong and please rest assured. Mao Cheng and Mao Chi's father and son were both Hanlin, and they were not related to Jinyiwei, and they could not find out any news. He heard Shen Rui's message like this. So I'm just waiting for the follow-up news.

But Yu Jie'er was not at ease and hurriedly took a car back to Shen Mansion.

She had given birth to a son last year and was named by her grandfather Mao Cheng.

Although this generation has the word "ma", the name is still not like the child of the Hanlin family, but like the child of the military general family. The old man hopes that this son is healthy and sound.

The Mao family has passed down several generations, and Mao Chi has no children after marriage. In fact, the elders in the family are already quite anxious. After they have it, they are all very happy. Yu Jie'er's status as a big grandmother is naturally a little higher. point.

Mrs. Mao is much stronger than before. Although she was nervous after hearing the rumors outside, she did not stop her when she heard that her daughter-in-law wanted to go back to her parents' home. On the contrary, she also asked her daughter-in-law to bring a lot of fruits, vegetables, rice and flour. He put it in the car and covered it tightly, pretending to be a gift. He was afraid that the Jinyiwei would be surrounded by Chenfu, and that the food would be short of food in the Chenfu.

When Xu saw this, although it was funny, he was also moved.

It was a big deal. Yu Jie'er was the honest girl again. Xu did not explain the truth to her. She only said that her in-law Yang Ting and the other side had already passed the message saying that nothing was wrong, so don't worry.

Sister Yu wanted to stay with Xu for a few days, but Xu smiled and said, "Brother Xiao is still young, I don't have to cry at night. There is nothing wrong here, don't worry, just go back to take care of the child.

Serious. When this matter is over, you can tell your mother-in-law and take Brother Xiao back and stay for a few days."

Sister Yu was so unlucky that she was told by Xu that she stayed for a long time and did not return to the Mao family until the afternoon.

"It's only during this time that people's hearts are seen." After seeing off Yu Jie'er, Xu sighed and said to Shen Rui. "I always thought my in-laws were a bit stricter. But the Mao family is always a scholarly family, and Mao Chi is also a family with rules.

Excellent, Sister Yu followed the rules, even if she didn't let her mother-in-law be happy, she would not be ruthless, so she married her. Unexpectedly, at this time, the in-laws and wife understood the righteousness."

Shen Rui nodded, true love was revealed in times of adversity, this incident was an excellent touchstone.

Among relatives, old friends, some come to ask in a hurry, but some naturally avoid it.

For example, the third wife’s mother’s home runs the Tian family of Nancheng Academy.

Last year, Shen Zhou made an excuse to leave the house because he was ill. The Tian family also knew that he was doing the provincial examination for his nephew Shen Rui, so it was hard to say anything.

After Shen Rui got to know Yuan in the provincial examination and even He Taizhi was on the list, there were rumors that Shen Zhou was good at teaching, and Shen Zhou became famous as a result, and the Tian family intends to invite him back to coach.

But the Tian family also knew that Shen Zhou wanted to help Shen Ruiying's examination, so they did not force him to go immediately. However, someone came to the Shen family every now and then. Even if they couldn't see Shen Zhou, they would talk to their son-in-law Shen Run.

The route to visit relatives is very obvious.

Deep down, the third master naturally hoped that the second brother and the Yue family had a harmonious relationship. However, if the second brother had to make the decision on this kind of thing, he was inconvenient to say more, so he only hummed at the Tian family and did not accept it.

As soon as the exam begins later, Shen Rui doesn't need to be watched by Shen Zhou. The Tian family comes to search every day. Even the old man Tian called Shen Run and his wife back to stay for two days and talked about this matter.

The third wife, Tian, ​​was also filled with good words at her parents' home. She was a simple person, so she told Xu when she got home. Her idea was very simple, and she thought that Xu, the sister-in-law, was just talking about it at home.

As long as she speaks, her second uncle Shen Zhou will not refuse.
