Xiao Zhinan closed his eyes and raised his sword in the Fairy Mansion Inn, while Li Mengzhou was doing nothing, he wandered around Muyang City alone.

He might also think that he could meet Du Changgeng, after all, he is still very confused. After he said those words, Du Changgeng hurriedly left, and he had not seen Du Changgeng writing in the city for several days. Not only Li Mengzhou, but also the people in Muyang City were very strange.

Although Du Changgeng's actions in the past made them very upset, they suddenly couldn't see Du Changgeng's writing figure. They still felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that something was missing, and life became boring.

Li Mengzhou didn't go far. In the shade under the big locust tree on the corner of the street, there was a scholar sitting, with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the wooden pier next to him.

Who else could it be if it weren't for Du Changgeng?

When he saw Li Mengzhou walking towards him, he just looked quietly.

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, walked to the big locust tree, and asked, "You haven't written in the past few days, have you given up?"

Du Changgeng shook his head and said, "That is my promise to Su and Zhejiang. As long as I am still alive, there is no reason to give up."

Li Mengzhou asked, "Who is Suzhe?"

Du Changgeng was silent for a moment and said, "My best friend."

"He was also the first talented man in Muyang City. He should have been able to be admitted to the Capital Academy."

"Then why didn't he take the exam?"

"He planned to go, and even made all the preparations, but after he went to the capital, he was told that he was not qualified to take the exam."

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "There are officials who can recommend them to all counties and cities in Jiang Country. Since Su and Zhejiang were once the number one talented man in Muyang City, he should be qualified to take the academy exam."

Du Changgeng said: "It was only after he arrived at the capital that his name was replaced by someone else, or that someone took away his quota."

Li Mengzhou said with a serious expression: "There will not be such a problem in Lihua Academy. No one in Jiang Country has the strength to make the academy surrender."

Du Changgeng said: "But the person responsible for greeting the candidates is not the person in the academy, but a doctor in Qingyun Prison. There is a problem below. Even the academy is kept in the dark. What's even more hateful is that the person who took away the quota of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not get into the academy, and obediently ran back to Muyang City, but ruined the future of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Suzhe cannot bear the blow of being taken away from the quota. He threw himself around the capital, but he had no way out. He had no way to get in touch with the people in the academy, and no one he could get in touch with dared to offend Qingyun Prison, even Jingzhao Mansion chose to ignore it."

"Suzhe fell ill. I got the news and ran to the capital to find him. But I met Suzhe halfway. He was already very sick and came back in a donkey cart. He told me about his experience in the capital. When I returned to Muyang City, I took care of him for seven days, but he still left me. I couldn't forget his last look, and all he left me was this sticker."

Li Mengzhou said slowly, "That's why you have been writing this copybook, but why are you in Muyang City, not in the capital? At least in the capital, you can be noticed by the academy so that you can help Suzhou and Zhejiang to correct your reputation." Du Changgeng looked at Li Mengzhou silently and grinned and said, "Suzhou and Zhejiang are very ill. In order to take care of him, I spent all my savings and were in debt. I couldn't go to the capital. I would starve to death on the way to the capital. I must live to correct my reputation."

"Even the Lord of Muyang City's Mansion, I dare not offend the power of the people who took away the quota of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He made me swallow my anger and forget about this matter, but how could I forget it?"

"Suzhe is my best friend. He dies with his eyes open. I have no ability to help him. I can only write his words over and over again. Although this seems stupid and does not work, I can only do this. I have no other way."

Du Changgeng paused for a moment and continued, "This calligraphy was prepared by Suzhe for the Academy. He did not want this calligraphy to be unknown and disappeared with him. This is also the reason why I insisted on writing this copybook. It is my wish to correct the name of Suzhe. This calligraphy is Suzhe's last wish, and this promise to him."

It is common for powerful children to replace other people's names, and Suzhe is just one of the victims, but it is indeed very disgusting to have such a thing during the school entrance exam.

Scholars have studied hard for decades to get a title, shining their family lintels, and winning a future. That is what they have done in their lives. Compared to becoming officials in the court, scholars hope to be able to study in academy and make a lot of efforts, but because they have no power, no power, no pulse, no wealth, and are easily deprived of their qualifications. What a sad thing.

Instead of asking the bottom line, Li Mengzhou asked directly: "Who is the person who took the Jiangsu and Zhejiang quota in Muyang City?"

Du Changgeng's eyes shone with a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Huan."

"The Yang family is the richest man in Muyang City. The family's wealth can be better than the entire city. Yang Huan is the second son, but he is deeply loved by the elders of the Yang family. In Muyang City, he can walk sideways. He has no pen in his stomach. He is a pure playboy who actually wants to enter the academy and takes away the quota that should belong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "If it were just the richest man in Muyang City, why can't the imperial decree afford to offend? Is it because the doctor in Qingyunjian? Just a mere doctor can actually make the people of the Jingzhao Mansion in Langya be afraid of it, so that even the imperial decree far away in Muyang City dare not offend?"

The doctor in Qingyunjian is only an official, and his position is not big or small. Of course, the Lord of the Ling of the Jingzhao Prefecture of Langya is several levels higher than the doctor in Qingyunjian. Li Mengzhou couldn't figure out how to get such a big power in the mere Qingyunjian doctor?

Du Changgeng said quietly: "The Yang family is not afraid of, nor is it the doctor of Qingyun Prison. In fact, the Yang family has nothing to do with Qingyun Prison. The reason why the doctor cooperated with the Yang family was that he had the meaning of another person, and that person was the backer of the Yang family, and it was also the person who made the Yang Prison dare not offend him."

The Jingzhao Prefecture of Langya supervises the entire capital and even has no restrictions from superiors. As long as the evidence is conclusive, it can be judged in court to be the most serious crime. It is the same as the power of Xuanzhengsi. However, the Jingzhao Prefecture only carries about ordinary events, while the Xuanzhengsi is in charge of the cases of practitioners.

The power of Jingzhao Prefecture is very great, and it can make the existence that Jingzhao Prefecture feared. If it were not a very identifiable practitioner, he would be a noble person with great power in the capital. Even so, the orders of Jingzhao Prefecture would not be subject to the orders. Only someone below could take care of him and the orders did not know about it.

The smaller the official is, the more complicated and chaotic the situation becomes. This is the reason why the so-called little ghosts are difficult to deal with.

Many people at the bottom do things that they do in secret are unimaginable, and it is common for them to deceive superiors and subordinates.

Although it is not as good as doing nothing and being scruples, this phenomenon does exist.

Even in the capital city is no exception.

Li Mengzhou had never dealt with the Jingzhao Mansion of Langya, but he also knew what kind of person the Jingzhao Mansion was. He could not be called the blue sky, but he was definitely not the one who would bow his head to the evil forces. After all, he also represented His Majesty the Emperor in some aspects, and was a person who was qualified to meet His Majesty directly and chatted and interesting.

Qingyun Supervisor was in charge of the ceremonial ceremony and tribute, and directly obeyed His Majesty the Emperor. Most of them were scholars. It was not rare to see a few scums in the process. Such people would exist in major institutions in the court. However, as a doctor in Qingyun Supervisor, he committed fraud and impersonation, and his crime was serious.

"Who is the Yang family's backer who can make the Langya Jingzhao Mansion pretend to be ignorant of this matter and let the Qingyun Supervisor operate in secret?"

Even if the order of the Langya Jingzhao Prefecture was not aware of it, it is not something that ordinary people can do if the doctor of Qingyun Supervisor helps to cheat.

I thought Du Changgeng didn't know this, but he didn't expect that he was silent for a moment and said, "Muyang Chengfu Order once revealed some whims to me. The person standing behind the Yang family is from Lu Wang Mansion."

Li Mengzhou's pupils suddenly shrank, "The Yang family's backer is Qin Chengyi, King Lu?!"

Du Changgeng did not care about Li Mengzhou's name, but shook his head slightly and said, "The Yang family does not have such a big background. Their backing is just a manager in the Lu Wang Mansion. The manager's surname is Yang, who is considered a relative of the Yang family in Muyang City. Although he is only a manager, he is working in the Lu Wang Mansion after all. The so-called dogs rely on people's power and foxes pretend to be powerful. This is enough for just this."

The manager of the Lu Wang Mansion is not a manager. There is only one manager, but there are many managers. He is indeed not a big shot, but he is working in the Lu Wang Mansion after all, and he is indeed not a person who dares to provoke anyone.

The Jingzhao Mansion of Langya can ignore the mere managers in the Lu Wang Mansion, and Qingyun Supervisor can also ignore it, but some people in the middle and lower levels dare not offend them. After all, it is because of the power of His Highness Prince Lu.

This is a coincidence.

Li Mengzhou sighed a little. He actually met someone involved with Qin Chengyi in Muyang City, far away from the capital.

It's a pity that the Yang family's backer is only a manager in the Lu Wang Mansion. At most, Prince Lu is not strict in his subordinates, so it is difficult to make a fuss about this matter. Moreover, the day when the Lihua Academy was started is not short of the time now. Even if this matter starts in the capital, it will at most cause the manager in the Lu Wang Mansion and the doctor in Qingyun Supervisory to be unlucky, and will not have any impact on Qin Chengyi.

Although the manager took advantage of Qin Chengyi's power, it was not Qin Chengyi's own fault. His Majesty the Emperor would only verbally scold him. Although he could not do anything to Qin Chengyi for this, he still had to do what he should do.
