Volume 1 Chapter 68 The thief shouted to catch the thief
The government test is over like this, and then we are waiting for the list to be released, this time Yang Cong has a little expectation for the results of the government test.
However, he is not in a hurry to know whether he is on the list or not, he is still very sure that he has passed the government test, what he cares about is the ranking of the government test, because he has already won the first county test, if he gets another government test head, it will be one step away from Xiao Sanyuan.
In these years, it is not the official position that the scholars are talking about, but the fame, at least most of the scholars are like this.
Because there are so many people who can be promoted in the exam, there are so many Jinshi, and there are so many people who can be officials, at least more than ninety percent of the scholars are not related to the officialdom, who is who has a fart relationship with them, but Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, Zhuangyuan, Small Sanyuan, Big Sanyuan or something are the most respected by readers, as for the reason, it is probably that things are scarce and expensive.
Like Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Zhuangyuan, these are all three years to produce one, small three yuan, big three yuan is even more terrible, three years or even thirty years may not be one, as for the peak of the imperial examination, even in the middle of the six yuan, there is a Ming Dynasty, and even since the imperial examination, there is a total of one, this is the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Xinwei Kedian tried the champion Huangguan.
This Huang Guan is also famous in history, forever remembered, although he stood on the wrong side in the later battle of Jingjing, and was punished by the nine clans, but still can not change his "Lianzhong Liuyuan" this is the most of the ages.
Yang Cong hasn't thought about going down in history at this time, he just wants to be famous, this year's fame is a good thing, and readers recognize this.
For example, Tang Bohu also got a Xie Yuan, that fame is simply heavenly, if he is not too arrogant, it is estimated that he will be ranked first, and it will not be difficult to rise to the top.
Of course, this fame is not omnipotent, the key depends on your own wood and ability, it is naturally best to be able to win a small three-yuan name, and in the future, your own imperial examination, and even your career will be much smoother, if you really don't get it, it won't have much impact on him.
His thoughts at this moment are "I am fortunate to be gained, and my life is lost." He didn't deliberately force it, and he didn't go to see the list in person, he just asked Hou Zhitan to wait outside the school early on the morning of the release of the list, and when he saw the ranking, he came back immediately and told him, that's all.
This Hou Zhitan got Yang Cong's explanation, so he naturally rushed to the place where the list was released outside the school, and he arrived at the end of the hour.
However, there are still a lot of people who pay attention to the list of this provincial exam, and there are no less than a thousand relatives and friends of the candidates, so when he rushed to the list place, there were already hundreds of people there.
The chief examiner, that is, the prefect Gu Kejiu, did not let everyone wait for a long time, and less than a quarter of an hour had passed, several officials came over with the paste and the list.
The government examination list is different from the county examination list, there are no less than 100 people on the list, and each candidate on the list must also mark the approximate place of origin, so several officials were busy with a cup of tea before all the lists were pasted.
However, Hou Zhitan didn't wait long, because Yang Cong really won the first case again, and the first place was Yang Cong (Hui'an)!
This young master, it's really amazing, he was about to turn his head back to report the good news, when a roar suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Sure enough, that's true, this Yang Cong is the first place again, it is rumored that he bought the examiner when he took the exam in Hui'an County, and he won the first place just by going to the examination room to take a cool, this time he happened to sit opposite me, and I also stared at him for a long time, this guy just sat there to enjoy the coolness, he didn't do anything, and he is the first place!" ”
, who the hell is this, such a black young master.
Hou Zhitan looked at it, and it was Wu Tang who raised his fist and roared!
He specially followed Yang Cong to recognize people, so he naturally knew this guy.
He knows very well that this guy must be spreading rumors, he has read a lot of articles made by the eldest young master, in his opinion, his eldest young master should not say that he has the first place to be the head of the court trial, and it is normal to have a court test case.
However, other candidates don't think so!
Wu Tang's roar immediately caused a huge repercussion among the candidates and their relatives and friends who watched the list, and many people showed anger on their faces.
These are naturally unsuccessful candidates, they don't know which onion Hui'an Yang Cong is, they only know that they are unsuccessful, and the guy who bought the examiner to cheat is at the top of the list!
Wu Tang then raised his arms and shouted angrily: "How can my generation of scholars let such a shameless person succeed again, Wu really can't stand it, I want to write a complaint to sue him, but there are righteous people who are willing to go with Wu?" ”
"Go together, go together, you must expose this shameless person."
As soon as Wu Tang turned around and ran out of the crowd, a bunch of stunned young people who had fallen off the list followed him and stood behind him, angry and scolding.
Hou Zhitan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this guy is going to falsely accuse the eldest young master!
He hurriedly followed his feet and ran all the way back to Chengtian Temple, and he didn't care about the communication, so he ran directly to the inner courtyard, panting and said to Yang Cong, who was exercising: "Big young master, it's not good, Wu Tang is making a lot of nonsense in the place where the list is released, slandering the big young master for cheating, and he probably has brought a group of candidates to sue at this time." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Cong listened to it, but he didn't react at all.
Not only did Yang Cong not react, Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, and Tang Kekuan all looked indifferent, and only Peng Fu showed a shocked expression.
The reason why Hou Zhitan and Peng Fu were so surprised was because Yang Cong's secrecy work was done too well, Chen Wenjie cheated him, he cheated Chen Wenjie, except for Xu Jie, Yu Dayou and a limited number of other people who knew the inside story, everyone else was kept in the dark.
Seeing Hou Zhitan's anxious look, Yang Cong couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Monkey, what are you doing in such a hurry, he sues, let him sue, this young master is not afraid of shadows." ”
When Hou Zhitan heard this, he fainted at the wrong point.
He vaguely knew that Yang Cong had seen through the conspiracy of Chen Wenjie and Wu Tang, but did Yang Cong tell him the whole plan, he didn't even know that Yang Cong was ready to fight back.
He was about to persuade Yang Cong to prepare early, when Hong Tiezhu suddenly ran in and hurriedly said, "Report, eldest young master, Wu Tang's guy held a figure and went to Song Yingkui with a group of people to complain." ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he finally showed a surprised expression, but he was not surprised by Wu Tang's complaint, but surprised by the shamelessness of these people.
Wu Tang, what the hell are you a candidate from Quanzhou Mansion, who found out that the imperial examination was cheating, did not go to the chief examiner, that is, Gu Kejiu, the prefect of the county, to complain, but went to the examiner Song Yingkui from the provincial capital, is this a brain caught by the door or kicked by a donkey, doesn't this make it clear that you don't believe the prefect!
Of course, this idea must not have come up with Wu Tang, because he was just a chess piece, and this idea should have been made by Chen Wenjie or Song Yingkui.
These two guys were not from Quanzhou Mansion in the first place, and it is understandable that they didn't take into account Gu Kejiu's feelings, and they may also be trying to avoid extraneous complications, after all, Gu Kejiu has never shown any bias, he wants to look down on the maritime giants like Zhao Yan, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to ask him to sue.
To tell the truth, their thief's plan to catch the thief is really good, and if Yang Cong is kept in the dark and knows nothing, he will definitely know their way.
Now, it's hard to say who is in whose way.
