It was nearly noon, and there were more people outside the yamen. The Confucian children who participated in this provincial examination, as well as the relatives and friends of the Confucian children, all came here to wait to see the list. If you pass the government exam, you will have the identity of a child.

Although Tong Sheng is the lowest level among scholars, he also has a certain status. Especially in remote and small counties like the north, such as Wanxian, Qingdu, Boye and Tang counties, Tongsheng is even more respected.

Zhou Zhi, Kou Peihan and Qi Yanwu were mixed in the crowd, and they were infected by all kinds of people around them, and their mood became more and more restless. But fortunately, soon, I saw that the two gates of the county government were slowly opened, followed by dozens of subordinates who ran out briskly from the inside.

Then a few gongs sounded, and several officials strode out with yellow paper in their hands. Choose a vast place, and several officials will post the long list on the wall.

Then the officials withdrew in unison, and the crowd poured into the list like a tide.

Qi Yanwu's actions were the most neat, but he didn't know how to read, but with him opening the way in front, Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan quickly squeezed to the front of the list.

Zhou Zhi stood still, tried his best to calm down, and revealed, yes or no, on this list. It is no exaggeration to say that this list decided its own fate.

The government examination list is not like a circle during the county examination, but directly pulls out the list, from left to right, with names and names written respectively.

When I looked up, I saw my name at a glance, and the first one was Zhou Zhi.

After reading it carefully a few times and confirming that it was correct, Zhou Zhi's hanging heart fell to the ground in an instant.

It was done, and the purpose of the first case of this government examination was achieved.

As for how many Liu Long took the exam, Zhou Zhi didn't care, and he didn't want to care, he took the first exam, so Liu Long lost the government exam. Regardless of the Dao test in a month, at least the reputation of Liu Yu and Liu Daru can be preserved.

Besides, if you take the first case in your own government examination, according to the past practice, you will definitely pass the Taoist examination. After such a month, he has undoubtedly become a showman.

"Tsk! Zhou Zhi, there is really yours, you are the head of the case! Kou Peihan saw the list clearly, and immediately shouted excitedly.

Although she didn't know much about writing, she knew Zhou Zhi's name as she said.

Zhou Zhi tilted his head lightly and said in Kou Peihan's ear, "Peihan, don't be quiet, be low-key." ”

Although Zhou Zhi played a high-profile exit during the exam, the ranking was out at this time, and if it was high-profile, it would be too arrogant and arrogant.

In fact, many people have already seen that the head of the case is Zhou Zhi, but everyone doesn't know Zhou Zhi, and at this time, Kou Peihan exclaimed, and suddenly many people's eyes turned to Zhou Zhi.

The handsome, tall, and slightly thin young man in front of him is thoughtful! What a privilege and what a glory this is?

Especially those candidates who also found their names on the list, in addition to being excited at this time, they also focused more on Zhou Zhi, their eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, but the most was envy.

And those who have seen the list several times, but have never found their names, shook their heads and sighed, looking in a trance, and some couldn't control their emotions anymore, and cried loudly.

There were more and more onlookers at the scene, and they became more and more agitated. Zhou Zhi, Kou Peihan, and Qi Yanwu turned around and slowly squeezed towards the back of the crowd.

"Liu Gongzi, what is this? If you don't get the first place in the exam, you won't have it, although you lost to Zhou Zhi this time, but there are still miles to go in the future. I believe that Liu Gongzi will one day find today's field. The voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Zhi's ears.

didn't have to look at the speaker's face clearly, Zhou Zhi judged that this person was the talented Gao Gongjia who accompanied Liu Long to find trouble for himself at the Boye Inn.

At this time, Gao Gongjia was standing beside Zhou Zhi, and Gao Gongjia's side was Liu Long, and behind Liu Long was the extremely poor-looking Xiucai Xiao Fu.

Zhou Zhi's starry eyes glanced at the three of them, and saw that Liu Long's eyes were dim at this time, and the whole person was like a wood carving clay sculpture, standing there in despair.

Although Zhou Zhi passed the government test, it is obviously too early to say that he won Liu Long in a bet. Because the gambling contract with Liu Long is the first case of the government test and the road test. At this time, he could only say that he would not lose to Liu Long.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Long and the others today, so he quickly looked away and continued to squeeze behind with Kou Peihan and Qi Yanwu.

The crowd was very thick, and it was difficult to squeeze out a few steps forward, but Liu Long, who was behind him, suddenly shouted, "It's over, I didn't expect that I, Liu Long, would be defeated at the hands of a poor child who is not well known." It's unfair, it's unfair! ”

If many people at the scene didn't notice Liu Long and didn't know Liu Long, Liu Long's lament immediately made everyone's eyes focus on him.

He is Boye's Liu Long! Boye's Liu family is a family of scholars, this Liu Long has been smart since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he didn't get the first place in the exam today.

There were people in the crowd who knew about Liu Long and Zhou Zhi's gambling contract, and at this time, they couldn't help but talk to the people around them about their gambling contract. For a while, everyone present knew that Liu Long and Zhou Zhi had a gambling contract.

"Huh! This Liu Long is too arrogant, and he deserves to be second in the exam. As for that Zhou Zhima, although I don't know him, I think that person must be a person who keeps his duty. In the future, you must ask Zhou Zhi for a lesson or two, people are talented! ”

"Yes, look at that Liu Long, now it's like a defeated chicken, he took the second place in the government exam, if he can get the first place in the Dao exam, or if he ranks higher than Zhou Zhi, wouldn't he have regained face?

Hum! This kind of person is a person who can't stand any blows and has no future! See, the one who walks outside is Zhou Zhi, look at the people's Zhou Zhi, silent, so calm. ”

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and there were people who said anything.

However, more and more people focused on Zhou Zhi, they firmly remembered Zhou Zhi's name, saw Zhou Zhi's appearance clearly, and thought that one day they could make friends with Zhou Zhi.

"Oops! Zhou's case, congratulations to Zhou's case, congratulations to Zhou's case! Zhang Jian and Wang Tingxiang suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Zhi and hurriedly bowed their hands to Zhou Zhi.

Although this government test is none of their business, but after all, the government test is a major event in Wanxian, and the two of them are also very concerned, so they came to watch, but unfortunately not long after arriving here, they heard that Zhou Zhi was the head of this government test, and they soon saw Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi and the other three are now outside the crowd, Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently and arched his hand, "The two elder brothers are serious, Zhou Zhi is just a fluke." ”

"Huh! Brother Zhou Zhixian is too humble, how can it be said that it is a fluke? Brother Zhou Zhixian's brother can beat Liu Long of the Boye Liu family and won the first test, and he will soon become famous! Zhang Jian then said aloud.
