Mom——

【Oh no! The off-field brain is going to be sealed. 】

Xu Yanmiao ate the melon with a clatter, very leisurely.

【So I said, it is always better to rely on yourself than on others. If you rely on the off-field brain, what if the off-field brain is gone, you will be at a loss. 】

【Also, the old emperor and Minister Bing came so quickly. Could it be that the blood can sense each other? The legendary suppression from the power of blood? 】

"Ah? Is there still this thing?"

Minister Bing muttered, and looked down at his child prodigy who was put back on the ground.

After the child landed, he carefully adjusted his collar, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, turned around and bowed politely: "Son greets adults."

Minister Bing suddenly had a toothache.

Xiao Bai Ze is talking nonsense! There is no such thing as bloodline suppression. His son has his own ideas, and even he, as a father, can't control him - like now.

"Go back first!" Minister Bing said unhappily, "Look at what you are doing. You are handing over a small note. Is the court a place for you to play around?"

The little prodigy blinked his dark eyes, "Sir, I am not playing around. The person who filed the complaint can ask for a lawyer. I am the lawyer of that lady."

Minister Bing laughed, "Then why don't you stand in the court?"

Bing Yan analyzed seriously, "I am too young. When Jingzhao Yin sees me, he will despise what I say. I have to use several times more strength to make him look at me. It is better to hide behind the scenes. Moreover, I am too young. If I lose the lawsuit, everyone will deny me and accuse me of making a fuss. However, it is clear that any lawyer cannot guarantee victory in the first dispute. But if the elder loses the lawsuit, others may just say: It’s no wonder that he is a novice lawyer and it’s his first time to argue. "

Bing Yan: "To sum up, sir, I think I can best display my value by hiding behind the scenes, which is more suitable for my purpose of practicing." Bing

Shangshu: "Well, it’s very thoughtful."

Bing Shangshu: "But you still have to go back with me."

Bing Yan was stunned for a moment: "Sir, why?"

Bing Shangshu: "I can probably guess what you are thinking. You think that you can practice by picking villains to argue for him, and it doesn’t matter if you lose the lawsuit."

Xu Yanmiao exclaimed in his heart: [All right! Is this the connection between father and son?]

Bing Shangshu glanced at his son’s surprised expression, coughed lightly, and was greatly satisfied psychologically.

However, he did not tell his son that his guess was copied from homework.

"But." Minister Bing bent down and knocked on his son's forehead, smiling: "What are you sure that the person you found is a bad person?"

"I have investigated..."

"Have you investigated the family that abused each other? Have you asked about the woman's abuse of her previous husband? What if the previous husband beat her first, and she fought back desperately, but outsiders said she was a fierce woman, and when she got married for the second time, she met a husband who would beat her, and she fought back in anger?"

Bing Yan heard this, his eyes slightly widened, but he was not discouraged, and asked: "Sir, since you mentioned this, is it really..."

Minister Bing: "No, your investigation is correct."

Bing Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Minister Bing: "But can you guarantee that you will never mistake the victim for a villain? You think you are practicing on the villain, which is justifiable, or even punishing the evil and promoting the good. Isn't this arrogance?"

Facts have proved that your father is still your father.

Bing Yan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

Minister Bing patted his shoulder and said, "Go back first. We'll discuss your practice when we get back."

Bing Yan was about to agree, but immediately shook his head, "No, sir, I think..."

Minister Bing: "Don't think about it. The girl who just played against you was taken away by her elders."

Bing Yan: "...Oh."

*

It was a bit difficult for Minister Bing to carry away the child at home, but the old emperor really suppressed his granddaughter by blood - even though they were not related by blood. The old emperor just picked her up and left. The eight-year-old girl knew what it meant to be a wise man who knew the current affairs. After she found out that she was caught, she was so well-behaved and sensible that she didn't even struggle.

Seeing her like this, the old emperor felt a stomachache.

Like! Too much like! It's very much like Xiangyang's positive confession and refusal to change.

Is this because the niece looks like the aunt? But they are not real aunt and niece!

However, in short, the two substitutes were taken away, and the domestic violence team was confused.

Without an external brain, they didn't know how to continue and what they should do to each other.

For a moment, the government office fell into a weird silence.

After a dozen breaths, Jingzhao Yin was sure that the two little ancestors had left, so he slowly said: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The domestic violence couple swallowed their saliva together, and suddenly said in unison: "No! We won't sue! This is our family matter, so don't bother the high official!"

Jingzhao Yin said "Oh?" and asked: "But didn't you say that the other party cheated?"

The domestic violence couple said in unison again: "No, no, we found that this might be a misunderstanding."

"Oh! So that's it." Jingzhao Yin said meaningfully: "Then you can't do this in the future. What obstacles can't be overcome between husband and wife? What kind of people are going to court all the time? Live a good life in the future, and don't rush to get a divorce. It's normal for husband and wife to have some little quarrels."

The two of them hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, we will listen to the senior official! We will live a good life!"

[I wish they will be locked up and never flow into the market again! ]

Suddenly a sentence came out, and Jingzhao Yin was stunned: Xu Yanmiao, you haven't left yet? !

Sure enough, he saw a familiar head peeking out from the crowd. October was the beginning of winter and it was a bit cold. He was wearing a new cotton jacket and there was no sense of incongruity among the people.

[But from my impression, there seems to be a punishment for withdrawing a complaint halfway through? What is it?]

Before Xu Yanmiao could think hard about it, Jingzhao Yin slapped the wooden stick in the hall and offered help: "But going to court is not a joke. You can't just come and go as you please. You are injured now, so take ten sticks first, and the remaining twenty sticks. When you are healed, come to the yamen to make up for it."

【Wuhu! Well done!】

The couple didn’t think it was good.

For them, it would be better to beat them all at once! Otherwise, they would have to spend two months recovering from the bloody head and beatings. Even their iron bodies couldn’t stand it!

“Sir! Can we pay to avoid being beaten…”

There is indeed such a provision in the law, but… Jingzhao Yin smiled: “No. What you have done is more serious.”

【Ah? Really?】

Jingzhao Yin: It’s not true. But Jingzhao Yin can indeed refuse them to pay to avoid being beaten.

——Just like the law stipulates, the people can donate money to donate a deputy county magistrate, but if the local officials don’t accept your money, then you have no right.

The Jingzhao Yin waved his hand and said: "Men should take off their pants, but women don't need to take off their pants."

"Beat them!"

"Bang, bang, bang--"

"Ah!"

Inside the yamen, along with the sound of sticks hitting flesh, there were screams of pain from a man and a woman.

＊

"Hiss——" Lian Hang laughed: "The Jingzhao Yin is so malicious. He actually beat them separately. Were they really beaten with twenty sticks again after their injuries healed?"

"Yes, they were beaten!" Xu Yanmiao excitedly shared the new news of the past half month with his friends: "My butt was beaten with ten sticks. It was swollen, painful, and bleeding! Not long after, he was taken away and beaten with the remaining twenty sticks. You didn't see it. He was beaten to a bloody mess."

Lian Hang was shocked: "Did you see it?"

Xu Yanmiao: "No, I'm not interested in beatings."

- Although he supports the death penalty for domestic violence perpetrators, he will not go to see how they are tortured or how they die.

Lian Hang nodded, his eyes shining as he continued with the next piece of gossip: "So, the son of Minister Bing and the daughter of Princess Fangling, did they know each other's identities?"

Xu Yanmiao thought for a moment and said, "I feel like they didn't know at first, but I'm not sure whether they knew it later or not."

He didn't read any of the gossip about this.

Lian Hang rubbed his hands, full of anticipation: "I heard before that the child of Minister Bing's family signed up for the Child Prodigy Exam, and he may not have time recently - Xu Lang, I bet that after the Child Prodigy Exam is over, when Minister Bing's son has time, he will definitely find a way to compete with the little princess again. He looks like he is looking forward to competing with the little princess."

Xu Yanmiao: "Huh? There is no need to wait for the Child Prodigy Exam to be over, they can compete now."

Lian Hang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xu Lang, today is the day of the Child Prodigy Exam. It's impossible that Minister Bing's son will directly give up the Child Prodigy Exam in order to compete with the little princess."

Xu Yanmiao: "No, he and the little princess met at the Child Prodigy Exam."

"Puff——"

Lian Hang just lifted up the water cup and sprayed out a mouthful of warm boiled water, then touched his forehead and armpits: "It's not hot, and I don't have a cold, but why do I feel like I was hallucinating just now."

Xu Yanmiao: "No hallucination, the little princess went to participate in the child prodigy test."

Xu Yanmiao: "Surprised! I just saw - I mean, when I first knew about this, I was also surprised."

Lian Hang was completely confused: "How did she get into the child prodigy test if she is a woman?"

"Oh, she said at the time..."

＊

"Chief examiner, the child prodigy exam is also an imperial examination. I have read through the seven chapters, thirty volumes and four hundred and sixty articles of the Great Xia Code. There is no law that prohibits women from participating in the imperial examination, right?"

The little princess Yan Linghui did not dress up as a man. She stood at the gate of the tribute courtyard and shouted, "My behavior did not violate the law. Why can't you let me in?"

The chief examiner was the Xima of the Jingju of the Zuochunfang Division of the Prince's Office, also known as the Prince's Xima. His surname was Huo Guozuo.

Huo Xima was very tired: "Little princess, this is not the place for you to make trouble..."

"I'm not kidding." Yan Linghui said calmly and clearly, "Since there is no law prohibiting women from taking the imperial examination, then I can take the exam. Otherwise, isn't it true that things that are not stated in the law are not allowed by default?"

Huo Xima smiled bitterly, "Since ancient times..."

Yan Linghui interrupted him, "No, there is a precedent in the previous dynasty. A nine-year-old girl named Lin Youyu passed the boy's examination and was specially awarded the title of Ruren. Forty years later, another eight-year-old girl named Lin Youyu passed the boy's examination and was awarded the title of Ruren. The girl Wu Zhiduan passed the boy's examination, but was blamed for being in the limelight and damaging morals, and was only awarded a bundle of silk as a reward. "

Yan Linghui clearly stated her central idea: "In any case, the previous dynasty never stopped girls from taking the imperial examination. Are you saying that this dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasty?"

Huo Xima's face twitched, and he said dryly: "That's not the case, but..."

He knew that it was unreasonable for him to stop people - because Yan Linghui was right, the law did not say that it was not allowed, then it was allowed. Whether or not to give fame after the examination is another matter, but there is indeed no law prohibiting women from participating in the imperial examination.

However, Huo Xima did not want to let the other party go out out of his own malice.

No one knew that he hated geniuses. He didn't pass the imperial examination until he was sixty years old. There were no outstanding policies in the process. It was all

because of his seniority and old age that the emperor, out of pity, promoted him to the position of Prince's Groom this year, allowing him to experience the urge of being a fifth-rank official before his death at the age of seventy-five. Therefore, he almost hated those who were successful and famous at a young age from the bottom of his heart.

Especially this child prodigy test - a group of little kids, six years old? Seven years old? Nine years old? Twelve years old? They don't need to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, they don't need to write policy essays, they just need to read the classics, history, and write a few articles or poems, and they can be granted the same status as Jinshi, enter the Hanlin Academy, and be directly granted an official position after they pass the imperial examination.

What is the basis for!

He didn't dare to ruin the prodigy's test, but he had no problem stopping the girl from entering the examination room.

So what if it was a prodigy? Now he was helpless, wasn't

he? Huo Xima was uneasy and cleared his throat: "My little princess, I'm really not trying to embarrass you on purpose. What you said... is reasonable, but it's against the rules for a girl to enter the examination room. Please don't embarrass me, princess."

Yan Linghui: "Where are the rules? Which law, which volume, which chapter, which article?"

Huo Xima smiled slightly: "It's the rules in the eyes of the world."

Yan Linghui said "Oh", and suddenly lowered her head to wipe her tears, sobbing: "But, but my mother has been very strong all her life. She regrets most that she could not become a court lady. She is usually unhappy and has no appetite. As a child, I saw it with my own eyes. How could I bear to see my mother suffer? I just came all the way from Liaoning to the capital alone."

"Chief examiner, if you don't let me go in, I'm afraid my mother will be even more heartbroken if she knows."

"Mom..."

The scholars who came to watch the child prodigy exam originally thought that Yan Linghui, a little girl, had to go in to take the imperial examination, which was somewhat ignorant. But when they heard that she was taking the imperial examination for her mother, and that she was so young and took a few servants to the capital alone in a carriage from Liaoning, they immediately liked her more.

Several scholars have already expressed their support: "Since she was able to enter the previous dynasty, she can also enter this dynasty, so let her take the exam."

Yes, filial piety is the biggest golden ticket to avoid death, and it can be given the green light.

Even if a person is a murderer, as long as this person kills for his parents, he will most likely be given a light sentence at the discretion of the court.

Huo Xima never thought that Yan Linghui would use filial piety to suppress him.

He even thought of the other party using the status of a princess to suppress him, and even wanted to take advantage of the situation to show that he was not afraid of power, but... why would he use filial piety? !

Seeing that the voices supporting Yan Linghui were getting louder and louder (mainly because they were not supporting her to become an official, but just supporting her to enter the examination room), Huo Xima's forehead was sweating more and more.

[Oh! I'm catching up with the excitement! ]

Huo Xima's pupils shrank and he sweated more.

Why did Xu Yanmiao come here? !

Xu Yanmiao didn't pay any attention to Huo Xima's predicament at all. He was talking to himself there, enjoying himself: [Otherwise, how could I be a child prodigy? This brain is not rigid at all, but flexible. ]

Huo Xima felt that Xu Yanmiao was secretly mocking his stubbornness, and he couldn't help but get angry.

He also felt that he and Xu Yanmiao had no grudges, and he had never even targeted each other, so why was he mocking others like this.

Xu Yanmiao was confused: [Huh? What are you looking at me for, Huo Xima? Go look at the little princess, who has already started sobbing and asking: Which is more important, filial piety or rules. ]

[Oh! ]

Xu Yanmiao suddenly had an idea.

If the old emperor were present, he would definitely try to stop this "smart" brain from running wild.

However, Huo Xima was inexperienced -

[Does he want me to help him out? ]

[After all, a person who outsources his filial piety may really not know how to answer this question? ]

The officials watching the child prodigy test: "?"
