After the provincial examination results are released, a Luming Banquet is held according to the rules. The yamen preparing for the provincial examination will hold a banquet to entertain the candidates who have passed the examination, and will issue documents to celebrate.

However, this Lu Ming Banquet is not the day the candidates were released, because candidates may not necessarily go to see the list at the same time, and most of the candidates who failed the list were also there when the candidates were released. Celebration at this time is simply a humiliation for the candidates who were released.

Therefore, the Luming Banquet is usually held three days after the announcement. During these three days, the relevant yamen runners will also go to report good news to the candidates who have passed the exam and notify them to attend the Luming Banquet, and at the same time, to get a prize.

Of course, Zhang Ping would not miss this pleasing opportunity. Not long after Yang Cong and his party returned to Dabaoen Temple, he brought a few yamen runners, holding signs, beating drums and drums, and quickly came.

When Yang Cong saw Zhang Ping coming to report the good news, he was not vague. He immediately ordered someone to get sixty taels of silver and stuff it into his arms, because all six of them were won, and Zhang Ping reported the good news to the six people this time.

This guy is sixty taels. When Zhang Ping took the money, his hand couldn't help but tremble. Although his "business" seems to be very big, it would be fifty taels to give a candidate a convenience. Most of the money would have to be distributed, otherwise who would be willing to cooperate with him to be convenient.

These sixty taels are different. As long as you give some points to the yamen runners, most of them can be kept in his own pocket. Now, he is really making a fortune.

This Young Master Yang is simply inhumane and must be flattered.

He greeted everyone for a while, then sent away the yamen runner who came to report the good news. Then he walked to Yang Cong with a serious face and whispered: "Young Master Yang, do you know that Lord Yan almost brushed you down when reviewing the test papers."

Damn, Yan Song has really started!

Although this matter has passed, Yang Cong still said nervously: "Oh, what excuse did he look for?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping vividly retelled the conversation between Yan Song, Zou Shouyi and Zhan Ruoshui at that time, as if he was at the scene at that time.

He was naturally not present at the scene at that time, but it was not only Yan Song, Zou Shouyi, Zhan Ruoshui and others. At that time, there were also yamen runners present. At least Yan Song and the others would not do the work of moving the test papers. Many yamen runners still had to do the yamen runners. Zhang Ping just asked casually and could know what happened at that time.

This Yan Song is indeed vicious. He took off the hat of deceiving the emperor and was as simple as not being able to win the imperial examination.

Yang Cong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no way to deal with Yan Song, because Yan Song was still standing behind him. It is said that Xia Yan would soon become the chief minister of the cabinet. At this time, even if he mobilized all the power of the Yangming lineage, he might not be able to do anything to Yan Song.

What to do?

He is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer a loss in silence. If anyone gets him, he will try every means to get it back.

He has always been vengeful because if you don’t teach others a lesson, they may be boundless with you.

The problem is that he really can’t help Yan Song now, what should he do?

Yang Cong thought hard for a while and finally got a scheming.

Can't deal with this big thing, can't deal with the small thing? This matter was originally made by He Qian. Since Yan Song can't be moved, he has to deal with He Qian, otherwise they will really think that they are easy to bully.

Thinking of this, he asked seriously: "Brother Zhang, do you know what shameful things He Qian has?"

This means, do you want to deal with He Qian?

Zhang Ping was stunned when he heard this. He Qian was indeed not a person. If he wanted to do something about him, this guy would be very jealous and very dark.

As a yamen runner, he naturally did not dare to think of the head of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Rites, because to put it bluntly, they depend on officials at all levels. If they dare to backfire their masters, then he would be overwhelmed.

Therefore, although he was very disgusted with He Qian before, he never thought about dealing with this guy. However, if Yang Cong took action, his nature would be different. It was an internal strife between their officials and it had nothing to do with him.

Is this a favor?

He thought for a while before he said cautiously: "If you want to talk about shameful activities, there are naturally some. It is rare for officials who are truly honest and honest these days. However, if you start from this aspect, you will definitely involve many people. To put it bluntly, villains may also be involved. So, Mr. Yang, please think twice about this matter."

He still dared not touch He Qian, because there are many potential rules in the officialdom at this moment. Almost all people in the officialdom, including the yamen runners, are all involved in these invisible rules. Once one of them is moved, it is likely to involve a large number of people. To put it vividly, it is an earthquake in the officialdom.

He didn't want to cause an earthquake in the officialdom, because the officials above could more or less escape or reduce their crimes by relying on their relationship, and the yamen runners could only be used as cannon fodder. Once the earthquake in the officialdom was caused, He Qian might not die. He was a cannon fodder who was very involved.

When Yang Cong heard this, he glanced at him with a little deeper meaning, and then frowned and began to ponder.

This guy seems to not want to be implicated, what should I do?

He thought about it, and then tentatively said, "Does he have any bad habits?"

These days, all corrupt officials will have more or less "bad habits", such as, uh, cannot be described, and omitted here.

In fact, everyone is used to these "bad habits". It doesn't matter if they don't pursue them seriously. However, once someone pursues them seriously, it will be more serious.

Yang Cong never thought about defeating He Qian. He just wanted to mess with this guy and let this guy suffer some losses. It was barely enough to use his personal "bad habits" to deal with this guy.

When Zhang Ping heard this, he thought for a moment and said excitedly: "There is something that may make him look dirty."

This is not surprising. It would be strange to ask corrupt officials to have no "bad habits". Yang Cong asked with interest: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Zhang Ping quickly explained in detail: "It's like this. The villain heard that Lord He was not from a good background. Before he passed the imperial examination, he was still poor. However, after he passed the imperial examination, he was attracted by the local gentry. It seemed that Lord He's wife was a famous local gentry. It was rumored that Lord He was quite afraid that after he moved to Nanzhili to serve as his wife and son, he took a fairy woman as a concubine. This time, shortly after Mr. He came to Jinling for the exam, Mrs. He also came with him. Lord He seemed to be afraid that their mother and son would know about the concubine. Before Mr. He arrived, he hid the concubine. The villain felt that this matter could be used for essays. Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
