Wang Xueqin turned his head to look at him, and said with a stern face: "I am not stingy with silver, but stingy with my own bottom line, if I give him the silver, then what will I take the exam? What is the big examination held by the Great Yan Kingdom? Such a despicable means, we, the children who read the books of the sages, do not stop it, but help it to be prestigious, where is the heavenly reason? Where is the justice?"

The exam book was also kind enough to mention a few words, but Wang Xueqin's face was flushed, and he was ashamed, and he couldn't say a word when he boarded.

Sitting on the examination room, Wang Xueqin took a deep breath, expelled the resentment in his chest, and secretly thought in his heart that once he was admitted, he must meet the emperor and explain the atmosphere of the examination room.

Ten days is not short, not long, when Wang Xueqin came out of it, he felt that his waist was really stiff, he stretched his waist, strode towards the door, his eyes were bright, his expression was firm, he was more complacent than when he first entered the examination room, and he was confident that the papers he handed in would not be out of the top three!

There is half a month before the release of the list, Wang Xueqin used this half month to visit many scenic spots around the imperial city, and made several friends, occasionally gathering to chant poetry, occasionally traveling together, and living a happy life.

Half a month passed quickly.

The list of yellow, orange and orange is plastered all over a city wall, and a total of 300 jinshi are collected this time.

Wang Xueqin came very early, he is very confident in himself, even if he can't get the top spot, he thinks that he will never be in the top three.

However, Wang Xueqin looked at the first line of the first list, and he didn't find his name until he looked at the whole list.

Did I miss it?

Wang Xueqin's excited mood cooled down a little bit, and he looked at the first list again with a somewhat serious face, feeling that his beating heart was a little cold, and a bad premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Am I overconfident? Why don't I have my name?

Wang Xueqin's two dark eyebrows frowned in the middle, he pursed his lips and continued to look at the list behind, the second list did not have his own name, and the third did not ......

Until he finished reading all five lists, Wang Xueqin's eyes hurt and his head was dizzy, and he still didn't see his name.

Am I out of the list?

Wang Xueqin stood in front of the list of people, and the noisy and noisy voices in his ears gradually died down, and the whole world seemed to collapse in his head.

Impossible, impossible......

Wang Xueqin had been squeezed out of the list by the scholars, he came back to his senses, pulled the others like crazy, and squeezed in from the crowd, he stood in front of the huge city wall, his fingers were a little trembling and he skipped over each name, and his face was pale like a ghost.

Still no, still no my name!

Wang Xueqin stood in front of the emperor list in despair, and muttered and repeated: "How is it possible, how is it possible......"

Many people saw Wang Xueqin, who was emotionally out of control, ridicule, ridicule, and angry scolding one after another, and more people looked at him half indifferently and half sympathetically, as if to say, look, there is a poor worm who can't stand the blow after falling off the list.

As soon as Wang Xueqin looked up, he was greeted by the cold and mocking gazes of everyone, he was seized by great disappointment, a large blank space in his mind, his hands and feet were cold, and he was full of fear, as if he had stepped into the endless black abyss and never saw the sun again.

"Qing Xuan Gongzi, congratulations to the high school champion!"

"Let's charter this restaurant! Congratulations to Qingxuan Gongzi for the first place in high school, and he will definitely be able to soar in the future!"

"Hahahahaha......"

A large group of scholars poured into the most generous restaurant in the imperial city, and they talked loudly and were full of spirit, and they couldn't wait for everyone in the world to know themselves!

Wang Xueqin didn't know how he left in front of the emperor's list, and when his mind cleared up again, his table was already full of wine bottles, the smell of wine was smoky, the noise around him reached the sky, and the people at the same table were talking happily.

"Is your news accurate? Then how can the examiner be so bold? Aren't you afraid of being reported?"

Someone lowered his voice and said, "Those examiners are complicit, who will report it? And who of us can really see the emperor to state his grievances?"

"So according to that, isn't the best article to be Zhuangyuanlang?"

"Of course not! The father of a good friend of mine is one of the chief examiners! Among the papers he reviewed, there was a man named Wang Xueqin, and several examiners who were brilliant in his writing were full of praise, and said that he was the best talent!"

"Then how did you get ......" Speaking of this, the scholar lowered his voice and pointed to the Qingxuan Gongzi who was holding a banquet upstairs, "Why was he replaced?"

"I heard that the Qing Xuan Gongzi is famous, in fact, there is a straw bag inside, but people gave gifts to all the examiners before the exam, especially the three chief examiners, tsk, the silver was sent into their pockets like flowing water, and ah, the Qing Xuan Gongzi has a prominent family background, and many people are big officials in the court!"

"That's no wonder......"

"It's a pity that Wang Xueqin......"

"What is a pity? I heard that guy didn't give a gift to the examiner before the exam! The examiners are standing in front of him, and he dares to give the examiner a cold face, how can he not be yin!"

"Tut-tut......"

In a sigh, Wang Xueqin, who was originally depressed, was stunned, he stood up from the chair suddenly, and asked with red eyes: "What you said is true?!"

Whoa!

Wang Xueqin's movement was so big that he hit the table, and the pots and pots spilled all over the ground, making a huge noise.

The scholars who were originally talking about those rumors in a low voice were startled and jumped up from the table, and several people were inevitably poured with soup, and they were angry: "What are you crazy about drunk?!"

Wang Xueqin pounced on this person: "Let me ask you! Is what you said true? ! I was replaced, right? That group of dog officials not only accepted bribes and bent the law for personal gain, but even dared to do such despicable things under the condition of Lang Lang Qianming!"

Wang Xueqin was swept away by the huge anger, and he was drunk, and he dared to say anything, he roared angrily, and directly stunned people!

"Is this Wang Xueqin?"

"It's over, let's go!"

Only then did the scholars understand that the drunken drunkard beside them turned out to be Wang Xueqin, who had been shady, and in shock, they looked at each other, broke free from Wang Xueqin's shackles, and hurriedly walked outside the restaurant.

"Don't go, stop! I'm going to go to court with you! I'm going to meet the saint!" Wang Xueqin drank too much wine, and even though he had monstrous anger in his heart, his body staggered, and he couldn't control those people at all, and watched them run away.

Thinking of the group of dog officials and Zhuang Yuanlang above the restaurant, Wang Xueqin's eyes were angry, and he walked upstairs drunk: "Dog officials, you return my article, you embarrassed beasts, I want justice!"

"Stop! Who are you, dare to go wild at the banquet of Zhuang Yuanlang?" There was a guard at the staircase on the second floor, and he held down Wang Xueqin, who was about to rush up.

Wang Xueqin raised his head, his hair was messy and scattered on his forehead and cheeks, and his eyes became more and more terrifying after being stained by anger and wine, and he heard himself say, "I want to see the examiner, I want to ...... I want to congratulate the champion!"

"Forget it, you drunkard, go away, don't spoil the interest of a few adults!" The officers and soldiers did not give an inch, and even began to push Wang Xueqin to pull him away from this position.

"Let go of me! I want to see the examiner! I have something to ask him!" Wang Xueqin clung to the railing, and he broke free from the hands of the officers and soldiers and climbed to the second floor.

"Stinky maniac! Shameless huh?!"

was so troubled by Wang Xueqin, many people looked at it, and the officers and soldiers were afraid of taking responsibility, so they became more and more serious.

"What's the trouble?" the group walked down the stairs with a smile, each more smug than the other.

Wang Xueqin raised his head suddenly, and the chief examiner Shen Weimin, whom he had seen, was at the front of this line, and there was a young man in his early twenties beside him, with a fair face and an arrogant expression, looking at Wang Xueqin with a touch of sarcasm.

"It's you!" Wang Xueqin gritted his teeth and shouted angrily at the chief examiner, Shen Weimin, "That's how you are an official? Accepting bribes and perverting the law! The emperor asked you to select talents for the country, but you only filled your own pockets for your own interests! And you!"

Wang Xueqin looked straight at the young man: "Deceive the world and steal your name, and become a scholar in vain! You people who are moths of the country can be punished by everyone!"

Wang Xueqin's voice was loud, and the words he said were even more exquisite, and the people in the entire restaurant heard it clearly, and the examiner and Qingxuan and others were red-faced!

The officers and soldiers were frightened and kept blocking them, but they didn't know where this scholar came from with such great strength, and he broke free from them several times, and even almost rushed forward!

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Slander the court officials like this, drag him down and beat him hard!" The chief examiner, Shen Weimin, trembled with anger, and said to the subordinates around him, "Are you all deaf? Go and beat me!"

Bang bang bang!

Several pairs of fists and feet fell, Wang Xueqin finally couldn't grasp the railing next to him, and was dragged out with a snort, his expression was fierce, and he still scolded himself: "People are watching the sky! You moths that have brought disaster to the country and the people, give me justice!"

"Hit, hit me hard!" Shen Weimin's face turned red, and his gaze at Wang Xueqin was particularly terrifying.

"Adults don't need to be angry with a madman and drunkard, I think he was hit too hard after failing the exam, and his mind is not clear, let's not be ruined, let's go, Miss Liu is already waiting for us at a banquet in Qingfang Pavilion, don't let the beauty wait. ”

"Yes, yes, why should you be angry at this ridiculous accusation, the pure will clear itself!"

"We believe in your lordship!"

Shen Weimin's face was gloomy, but in front of so many scholars, he couldn't get angry, so he could only pretend to be perfunctory, and when he went out, he glanced at the person who was following him, and the person saw the killing intent in Shen Weimin's eyes, nodded, and left with the person dragging Wang Xueqin.

......

Wang Xueqin was dragged to the alley far away from the restaurant, punched and kicked, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, two ribs were broken on his body, his whole body was bruised, there was no good place, the pain was repeated, he gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but he moved a little, and he was beaten again!

The night dissolved, the street not far away was brightly lit, countless pedestrians walked by, they saw everything that happened in the alley, but no one dared to step forward to say a word of justice, the faint yellow light came in from the mouth of the alley, shining Wang Xueqin's dirt.

"Stop!"

A crisp female voice came, and the four officers and soldiers who were kicking and beating Wang Xueqin were stunned for a moment and turned their heads to look.

A delicate carriage slowly drove into the narrow alley, and Kankan stopped in front of everyone, obscuring the light coming in from outside, and the quiet aroma instantly lingered on the tip of the nose.

"It looks like Yakudan's car. The sharp-eyed officers and soldiers saw the markings on the carriage and said hesitantly.

"Aren't the adults going to the field tonight to hold the Oiran, why is she here?"

"I don't know. ”
