From New Year's Eve to today, the clamor about imperial examination fraud has not stopped.
It's just that students usually get angry in Wenchang Pavilion and rarely go out on the road to disturb the people.
Before the people in Fengjing had time to be surprised, they found that the queue was getting longer and longer, and the shouting became more and more fierce, and finally stopped at the door of Fang's house.
"Give me justice in the imperial examination!"
"Drive out filth and fraud!"
Loud slogans were shouted one after another, and hundreds of students in long robes stood in a square formation and shouted at the gate of Fang's house.
Several neighboring aristocratic families were alerted, quietly opened the door to check, and then quickly closed it.
Only the Fang family's door is always majestic and never opened or closed.
The students' eyes were red, and when they screamed till they were hoarse, they finally couldn't help but take off their shoes and socks, and smashed them on the door of Fang's house.
Smelly shoes, heels and socks were flying all over the sky. The clean ones could even fall to the ground, while the sticky ones were sucked directly to the door frame.
Even Fengtian Prefecture Yin, who came in a hurry, couldn't bear it anymore. He pinched his nose and stopped him, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Be quiet for a moment."
I thought that the official power was enough to suppress it, but I didn't expect the literati to become more and more uproar.
"Look, before I just yelled in Wenchang Pavilion and no one paid attention, but when I walked to the door of Fang's house, I stopped him."
"In this world, officials have always protected each other. The Fang family must have asked him to drive us away."
"If we don't leave, even if we die, we need the Fang family to give us an answer!"
"Give me justice in the imperial examination!"
The rebellion of the literati students increased, and the shouts and shouts increased instead of abating.
Seeing Fengtian Fu Yin's flushed face, Xu Mo in the corner suddenly felt a little guilty.
The situation in front of him has been promoted by him personally since the first day of the new year, deploying people and controlling the rhythm.
He was the one who tried to suppress his anger, he was the one who suggested going to Fang's house, and he was the one who started the rebellion at this moment.
Even Fengtian Prefecture Yin is also involved in the plan, although he is not willing to plot against this fairly fair gentleman.
But without enough reasons, Xu Mo couldn't bet on his own future, even to win over Xia Yuan.
He must make the literati students rebellious, the situation must be difficult to suppress, and Master Yin of Fengtian Prefecture must throw away his sleeves in anger.
It wasn't until the crowd started to riot that he, the victim of imperial examination fraud and the Hanlin editor who was also the number one scholar, was able to show up in his sixth-grade official uniform.
He raised his hands in the air and said in a calm and calm tone, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to my words."
The crowd made noises, seemed to be making decisions, and finally returned to peace.
Xu Mo did not speak immediately, but took two steps forward and raised his hands to Fengtian Fu Yin, "I have met Mr. Fu Yin. I passed by here halfway. I heard about the riot and came here specially. I hope Mr. Fu Yin can forgive me."
What is there to forgive?
In any case, his presence stopped the riot.
Fengtian Prefecture Yin waved his hand, shook his head and sighed, "Xu Zhuanxiu, don't be too polite, let's deal with things first."
Xu Mo nodded and looked at everyone politely, "Xu is also a member of the imperial examination fraud. Most of you in front of me are Xu's classmates. They were in and out of the Gongyuan back then, and today they are gathering in front of Fang's house."
He suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just didn't expect that when the matter got so big, Brother Fang just didn't want to stand up and confront him, even if he wanted to explain a few words."
The crowd was silent, and Jiang Sheng in the distance almost choked with laughter.
The eldest brother has also learned bad things. He obviously planned everything, but now he insists on being a good guy. He really takes away everything inside and outside, leaving nothing behind.
Fang Yuan is now the focus of the literati students' crusade. It is only right to ignore him with indifference. The literati students will not be able to stir up trouble, and things will calm down sooner or later.
If you really stand up, you will welcome rotten vegetables, leaves, and rotten eggs.
But how could Xu Mo allow him to do so.
"No matter what, we all understand everyone's indignation, but blocking the street is unreasonable and makes it difficult for Mr. Fu Yin. Everyone should disperse and leave early." The young man in official uniform deliberately comforted .
Fengtian Prefecture Yin nodded beside him, deeply convinced.
But it made all the students furious, and a young man in his twenties roared, "You are admitted to the top exam and become an official, so of course you don't understand our sufferings."
"That is, fraud can occur in imperial examinations. We dare not continue in the examination, but we are not willing to give up. Is it too much to ask for an answer?"
"Don't mess with me here. How you got to be the number one scholar is still a question."
"It's just that it's not clear who cheated."
Because of Xu Mo's "brave action", the blame was turned from Fang Yuan to him.
The students, whose eyes were already red, had lost their ability to distinguish, and were only filled with anger, wishing they could be torn apart by the wind.
Master Fu Yin's face was full of astonishment, as if he did not expect that the matter would be so difficult to deal with.
When he turned around again, Xu Mo had changed from a gentle breeze to a feeling of sadness, anger and shame.
"Sir!" He said in a hoarse voice, "Xu has good intentions, but he is so humiliated. Xu is unwilling to accept it. Xu is willing to go to the Jinluan Palace to prove his innocence!"
The noisy crowd fell silent and soon reignited.
"Go to the Jinluan Palace and prove your innocence!"
"Go to the Jinluan Palace and ask for judgment from the Heavenly Family!"
To this day, it seems difficult to solve the problem without going to Jinluan Hall.
While Fengtian Prefecture Yin was still thinking, Xu Mo had already turned around and walked toward the imperial city as if he were a righteous man.
Countless students followed him, striding high and high.
The Fang family realized something was wrong and quickly opened the door, but it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Mo was already kneeling in front of the imperial city gate, behind him were a crowd of literati students and the Yin of Fengtian Prefecture, whose brows were furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"I have suffered an unjust injustice, and I want to die to clarify my will. I only ask the Heavenly Family to wash away my reputation, and don't let anyone frame me and slander me." After he finished speaking, without waiting for the gate of the imperial city to open, he asked directly Go hit the wall.
The Yin of Fengtian Prefecture quickly asked the yamen to stop him, and he tried to persuade him to do so.
Jiang Sheng, who was behind the crowd, smacked his tongue again, pulling Zheng Ruqian to mutter, "Brother, I have been looking through ancient books for a long time. I only said that I imitated the behavior of civil servants of the past dynasties, but I didn't expect that the imitation was so true."
Begging for death, he was stopped and went down the steps.
Anyone who sees it must give a thumbs up.
And this trick was extremely effective. The originally closed city gate was opened. The panting Manager Wu hugged the fly whisk and announced in a sharp voice, "The meeting in Jinluan Hall is interrupted, and everyone outside the city is called to pay homage."
Countless literati and scholars have been shouting with grief and indignation for more than half a month, and finally got a response at this moment.
They were all excited and moved, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes with tears, and walked forward together.
Among them, Xu Mo was the most relaxed, the most determined, and the most unhesitating.
The palace door slowly opened, and everyone entered first. He was a few steps behind, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fang Yuan hurriedly coming.
It's a pity that you can't enter without being summoned. It's a pity that the palace gate is closing.
In the last glance, Xu Mo raised the corners of his mouth, deliberately leaving a smile that was determined to win.
Just like before, the young master of the Fang family was sarcastic with determination and calmness.
