章 137: Chapter 76 Little Girl Tong_1

The autumn imperial examinations of the Liang Dynasty had ended just one day ago, yet the lawsuit over the death at the Tribute Court had already spread through every street and alley.

It was said that there was a poor scholar who, having lost his father in his early years, had depended on his mother for support. His mother made a living by killing fish in the fresh fish market, supporting her son's pursuit of fame and fortune through the imperial exams. The son had a photographic memory and a talent for writing; he was originally seen as a potential top-scorer, yet even after more than ten years of examinations, he failed to place. It wasn't until after his mother passed away that the son learned the truth. Apparently, for years, the examination results in Shengjing had been prearranged by the Ministry of Rites Examiners in collusion with wealthy families, and his rightful place had been unjustly delayed!
