Chapter 351 Immortal Jump
We will not discuss Fu Zhiyi’s situation inside for now.
After the third master came back, he boasted to Lan that he had sent his son to the Spring Examination today, and told her what happened in the teahouse as a joke.
Lu Zhenzhen happened to be nearby, and when she heard what the Third Master said, her heart suddenly sank.
She and Fu Zhiyi had the same idea.
I just don’t know what happened to those people who were dragged away by the guards?
Will Fu Zhiyi be implicated?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't sit still anymore.
After saying goodbye to the Lan family, he returned to Tingtaoju, packed some food, and asked Dingxiang to take it to the Lan Mansion.
Then he gave Dingxiang some instructions and asked her to convey the message to her adoptive father, Minister Lan.
Dingxiang changed her clothes and went to Lan's house with her things.
He didn't come back until the afternoon.
After sending everyone away, Dingxiang reported that she had gone to the Lan family and waited until Minister Lan returned home.
Then he told Minister Lan what Lu Zhenzhen had said.
Minister Lan was not surprised at all, and said that if Dingxiang didn't come, he would also send someone to deliver a letter to Lu Zhenzhen.
Those who were caught in the teahouse today were not candidates at all.
In their words, they were just a few hooligans who lost a lot of money in the gambling house a few days ago and were so angry that they heard the news about today's Spring Examination from somewhere.
He came up with a crooked idea and thought of pretending to know the exam questions in order to deceive a few candidates and get some money to make a profit at the gambling house.
They went to find an old scholar and forced him to write a few questions.
He borrowed two sets of clothes and chose the teahouse closest to the Imperial Examination Hall.
As a local tyrant, he knew that the scholars working in the teahouse were all quite wealthy.
As long as I can cheat one or two people, I'm afraid I can make a lot of money.
So I sneaked in early in the morning, but didn't dare go upstairs. After all, there was a waiter watching upstairs, and it was said that there were private rooms upstairs, which made it difficult to operate.
After a few people made a plan, they went to the backyard. When they saw someone coming, they pretended to have a secret meeting, and their voices were unclear but still audible.
It's a honey trap anyway.
They mainly saw a guy who was dressed very richly, looked rich, and had shifty eyes following behind them, so they carried out the plan.
Who would have thought that there was a big stick following behind.
After just two sentences, it was spread so widely that everyone knew about it.
He also took advantage of the moment when they were frightened to call the guards.
But these words can only deceive themselves.
Living at the foot of the imperial city, wouldn’t they know the importance of the Spring Examination?
If you say that you are thousands of miles away and have just arrived and don't know anything, this may be more true.
For people in the capital, every subject will be punished by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Not to mention that ordinary officials dare not get involved, how can a few ordinary ruffians have such courage?
It's a joke.
Therefore, these people are still being held in prison and interrogated.
As for what happens next, it depends on the results of the interrogation.
Minister Lan also assured Lu Zhenzhen that as long as Fu Zhiyi entered the examination room safely, there was no need to worry too much.
This time, His Majesty suddenly used the Imperial Guards to maintain order and security in the examination hall. Princess Deqing's reach probably couldn't reach that far.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhen didn't feel too relieved.
Princess Deqing is really a vengeful person. From drugged beef jerky to someone setting up someone to do this before the exam, she is really like a sow wearing a bra, one thing after another.
This is just to bring trouble to Fu Zhiyi!
I don’t know if there will be any disgusting tricks waiting for Fu Zhiyi in the examination room.
It’s a pity that she can’t help outside, so Fu Zhiyi can only hope for the best and deal with the situation as it comes.
During these nine days, Fu Zhiyi not only felt that every day was a year.
Even when Lu Zhenzhen and Lan were outside, they still counted the days.
On the one hand, he prayed to Emperor Wenchang to bless Fu Zhiyi to get into high school, and on the other hand, he asked the Bodhisattva to bless him with sunshine in the next few days and not wind or rain.
Perhaps the old lady and Mrs. Lan were quite sincere, as during these nine days, except for two days of gloomy winds, the weather was pretty good.
After finally making it to the ninth day and having lunch, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't wait any longer, so she brought Lan and the third master with her, and they all rushed to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall early, eagerly waiting for the people inside to come out.
Although it was only the afternoon, there were already many carriages coming to pick people up.
Soon, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was almost crowded.
No one was in the mood to talk or communicate, their eyes were all fixed on the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Finally, the time came, and under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall creaked open.
The crowd suddenly became excited and watched the candidates inside walk out one after another.
They were all disheveled, with sallow complexions, and they were staggering, looking like they would fall to the ground at any moment.
Daman has sharp eyes and relies on his tall stature and strength to squeeze to the front.
Soon, he saw his fourth master walking out slowly.
The handsome Fourth Master in the past, although he was still more handsome and neatly dressed than the people around him, but in Daman's eyes, he was extremely miserable.
He has an unshaven beard, a dull look in his eyes, and unsteady steps.
He hurriedly took two steps forward and supported Fu Zhiyi: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master?"
Fu Zhiyi was a little dazed. He looked at Dama carefully and nodded, without even the desire to speak.
Dama snatched the things from Fu Zhiyi's hand and put them on his back, then helped Fu Zhiyi walk towards his own carriage.
As he walked, he said, "Fourth Master, Third Madam and Fourth Madam are all in the carriage."
Fu Zhiyi paused and looked at himself with disgust. It had been nine days and he had become so rotten that he was too embarrassed to see Lu Zhenzhen in this state.
He had originally planned that when his family came to pick him up, he would go back to the front study to wash up before going to see his wife.
But my wife actually came to pick me up in person. What should I do?
In the panic, Fu Zhiyi actually felt an indescribable joy and happiness in his heart.
After pushing through the crowd, he finally arrived in front of the carriage of Ningping Marquis Mansion.
Lan saw her son's miserable appearance from afar and tears came to her eyes.
Just as she was about to reach out to grab Fu Zhiyi's hand, she smelled the unpleasant odor on Fu Zhiyi, and her outstretched hand paused.
After all, he was her own son. Lan grabbed Fu Zhiyi's hand and looked him up and down for a long time: "My son, you have suffered——"
Fu Zhiyi was tired, sleepy, and cold. He reluctantly nodded at Lan: "Madam."
He looked around with his eyes. Didn't he say his wife was coming? Why didn't he see her?
Lu Zhenzhen jumped down from the carriage at the back and looked at Fu Zhiyi's haggard appearance, her eyes full of heartache.
"Madam, this is not the place to talk. Besides, I see that the Fourth Master is exhausted. Let him get in the carriage and rest for a while. When he's rested, we can talk."
Lan finally came to her senses and wiped away her tears. "Zhenzhen is right. Hurry up and get in the car. Your family is waiting for you."
