Chapter 101 The Tolerance of the Capital

County Prime Minister's Mansion.

A week later, Li Xu didn't wait for the official to come home to announce the good news. He became more restless and irritable, and kept walking in the living room.

"You must have failed the exam." The county magistrate walked out of the room holding his head.

"Just kidding, I must have passed the exam. There is no need to question this." Li Xu felt that it was not credible enough. "If you don't believe me, ask Xue, she went to see it with me."

The county magistrate sat in the living room and made himself a cup of hot tea.

Li Xu said: "Perhaps the official was delayed by something, father, don't go to the county government to ask, they will come by themselves when they are done."

Li Xu became more determined in his opinion, it should be, it must be like this.

"master."

Early in the morning, the butler Lao Fu went out and heard some bad news.

When Lao Fu walked into the hall and saw that the young master was there, Lao Fu hesitated to speak.

Li Shitian, the county magistrate, saw Lao Fu's embarrassment. "But it's okay, there are no outsiders here."

After thinking for a while, Lao Fu still said: "I'd better tell the master about this."

There is a meaning inside and outside the words, which is to avoid Li Xu.

Li Xu is also a scholar after all, how could he not see this?

"Old Fu, tell me." Li Xu sat down.

Li Shitian thought for a while, and ordered: "Xu'er, go down, what do I know about this matter, it has nothing to do with you."

"father!"

"Go down!"

"Yes!" Li Xu had no choice but to get up and leave. After walking out of the hall, he made a U-turn and pressed his head against the wooden wall.

The housekeeper Lao Fu's very weak voice came from the hall. "Master, someone outside said that the list was wrong and someone cheated, so it was taken down."

"Everyone says that Mr. Su is the leader of the case, and the current leader of the case is simply inferior to Mr. Su."

"That's just what everyone said, and there is no fact. I will go to the county government to see the situation later." The voice of the county magistrate.

"Master, I heard that Mr. Su's article has been posted. After reading it, all the talented scholars felt cheating, so they beat Mr. Xuezheng in the street."

Old Fu said: "These are all gossips I heard when I went shopping. I just want to come back and tell the master to go to the county government to have a look. Otherwise, the young master's good case may be gone."

"Impossible. The government has posted a list. Whoever is the leader of the case is the leader of the case. How can the order be changed?" Li Xu suddenly came out of nowhere.

He raised his voice. "It is impossible for the imperial court to do this. If this is done, who will dare to believe the announcements issued by the imperial court in the future? This one today, that one tomorrow."

When Li Xu said this, maybe he refused to believe that he was not the chief of the case. "Su Huan's article was not selected, so there is a reason why he was not selected. The rumors outside are really unreasonable."

"Old Fu, rumors only stop with wise people, don't say such things in the future." Li Xu turned and left.

A series of words made it impossible for people in the hall to intervene. After Li Xu left, Lao Fu looked at Li Shitian.

"Old Fu, I'll go to the county government later to have a look. Tell the mansion not to say such things, so as not to irritate A Xu." Li Shitian glanced outside and sighed. "He is just too high-spirited. Before hitting him, it was all to motivate him. Now the situation is different. Try to keep him away from these remarks."

"Yes, my lord, I will give orders now."

Li Shitian went back to his room and put on his official uniform, and the carriage drove towards the county government.

Li Shitian took sick leave for a few days to celebrate with his son at home, but he never came. He walked into the county government office, and the government officials at the door said hello. Li Shitian hummed and walked to the public house.

Su Huan also didn't come to the county office for a few days because of the exam, and happened to come to the county office today, and met Li Shitian in the corridor.

Li Shitian bowed immediately: "Master Su."

Su Huan also returned the gift. "Master Li."

The two walked side by side, and Li Shitian asked, "Master Su, I don't know if the rumors outside are true or not."

"Look." Su Huan pointed to Yang Xingchang's public house, there were many people in it.

Li Shitian looked over, and the clothes of those people were not all the clothes of Hangzhou Mansion, but...

"People from the Criminal Department of the capital and Dali Temple." Su Huan said. "All the examiners in the Tongsheng Examination will be investigated."

People from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department came out of the public house, and the two criminal officers escorted Yang Xingchang and walked past Su Huan.

When Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs passed by, the two took a special look at Su Huan's appearance and Su Huan's official uniform. It was strange that they even bowed to Su Huan: "Master Su."

Su Huan was also confused, but he could only bow back. "grown ups."

A group of people escorted Yang Xingchang, followed by other examiners, out of the county office.

Li Shitian turned to look at Su Huan, feeling extremely shocked. How did Su Huan know the people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment?These two institutions are extremely cruel institutions of the imperial court.

Who is Su Huan?Does he have any background?

Li Shitian found it even more difficult to see through Su Huan, a 20-year-old boy with a fascinating backstage.

I can't afford to offend, I really can't afford to offend, when I see Su Huan in the future, it's better to be more humble.

"Lord Su, the little official has gone to work." Li Shitian clasped his hands, turned around, and the sound of footsteps on the ground was always hurried.

As soon as he sat down, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be that Mr. Xuezheng deliberately messed with Mr. Su to prevent him from getting the first case, but Mr. Xuezheng didn't know that Su Huan's background was too hard, and he was kicked to the iron plate?
Master Su's backstage is in Dali Temple?Or the Ministry of Criminal Justice?Or... Li Shitian didn't dare to think, oh my god, Xuezheng probably won't know who he messed with until he died.

Li Shitian touched his forehead, covered in cold sweat. If possible, he really wants to walk around when he sees Su Huan in the future, or... to curry favor with him? ? ?

I am a 49-year-old old man, and I am the younger brother of a 20-year-old boy... Forget it, as long as I can live, as long as I can live, Li Tian thought so.

Su Huan went to Yang Xingchang's office, finished all the official affairs inside, and then did his own work.

Every time Yang Xingchang was arrested, he had to handle official affairs, which was too difficult.

At noon, Su Huan was about to go to Manfeng Tower for lunch. As soon as he left the county government office, he saw the carriage of Meng Xiang, the prefect of Hangzhou.

Su Huan was standing at the gate of the county government office. After the carriage came, Meng Xiang got off from the carriage.

"I've seen Lord Meng!"

"Xiao Su, I happen to be looking for you on something." Meng Xiang's expression seemed to have discovered something huge.

"I'm going to Manfenglou for lunch, let's go together."

"Get in my carriage."

……

Ten minutes later, in the cubicle of Manfenglou, a servant bowed respectfully after serving the dishes.

"Master, please enjoy."

Meng Xiang looked at the servant, and only after he left the room did he look at Su Huan. "Are you the landlord?"

"That's right!" Su Huan said perfunctorily, "Old Meng, get down to business."
