288. Release the list

The major officials in the capital and the population of the aristocratic family mansions are not simple.

In this power center of the Great Yan Dynasty, most of the prominent families were deeply intertwined. They used their in-laws to create a fine network, and any family would be involved in three or four major families.

Of course, Wu'anhou Mansion is no exception.

"I have read the information compiled by Su Zhan. In addition to Mrs. Hou, Marquis Wu An has three aunts. Aunt Chen and Aunt Wang each have a son. They have passed their prime years, and the remaining one has nothing to do."

Cheng Xi pondered, "His two brothers want to be the heirs, so there is a high possibility of killing them."

"how you said that?"

"Marquis Wu An is a staunch royalist. It doesn't matter to him who becomes the prince. Under normal circumstances, the prince will not touch Qu Shaojing even if he fails to win over him. Otherwise, it will not be a friendship but a grudge."

Cheng Xi vowed, "The possibility of external conflicts is too small, so it can only be internal conflicts."

Chen Xingluo shook his head at her expectant gaze.

"What do you mean, my guess was wrong?"

"It should be right."

"should?"

Chen Xingluo said, "Actually, I don't know much about the current Wu'an Hou Mansion. I only know that Qu Shaojing passed away at an early age. Wu An Hou was so sad that his old injuries recurred and he passed away for a year. The huge Hou Mansion fell into decline. .”

"..."

This is really a sad story.

Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.

At this time in his previous life, he must still be dragging his body with pain in Shenjia Village, right?

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible for him to climb out of the abyss so quickly. It is very difficult for a young man who is inferior and has suffered a blow to control his own destiny.

"What, Qu Shaojing looked at Yazi, who is not very smart, but he is not going to kill himself..."

Bah, didn't he just play to death in his last life?

Cheng Xi was silent again. When did she not know how to speak properly?

The person beside him nodded in agreement, "Escaped from death twice, if he doesn't make any progress, he won't be alive anymore."

"..." Brother Shen paid it by mistake after all.

Cheng Xi suddenly felt that his worries just now were a bit unnecessary.

With Shen Xingluo's venomous temper, does he really need others to worry about him?

On the day when the examination results were announced, the capital was crowded with people.

This morning, all the students walked out of the inn with dark circles under their eyes and headed towards the door of the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites together.

Chen Xingluo was also dragged by Qin Zheng to the private room of the teahouse opposite the Gongyuan. Besides him, there were also a group of students from Lin'an Mansion, including five people who had been to Shenjia Village.

"Brother Shen and Brother Qin are here, this way!"

"The results will be released soon, but I don't know how you did on the test?"

Several people were not in the mood to drink tea, so they stretched their necks to look down. The crowd at the entrance to the ceremony door was so crowded that it was quite spectacular at first glance.

Since everyone present was a real thin scholar, Qin Zheng, as half of the host, took over the task of reading the list with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry, everyone. I've sent someone to wait below. I'll ask him to come up after the rankings are released!"

"Brother Qin is benevolent and righteous!"

Everyone raised their glasses in agreement.

It’s not that they are cowards, it’s that they have more than enough ambition but not enough power.

As a student of this year, who wouldn’t want to go and see the list in person? However, all you can see is heads. If you don’t pay attention, you can be crushed into pieces.

The ranking depends on it, but life is really not that important.

While several people were sighing at the crowded scene downstairs, a few men in military uniforms with long swords at their waists escorted the civil servants out of the Gongyuan, and there was an instant uproar around them.
