"Brother Zhou Zhixian, congratulations to your brother on the head of your high school case!" Fan Jin first said happily. Then Lu Xingchuan, Che Lang, Wei Haogu and others excitedly congratulated Zhou, and they were happy for Zhou from the bottom of their hearts.

Feeling everyone's sincere and sincere congratulations, Zhou Zhi's heart quickly settled down, and finally got his wish and achieved his goal. However, Zhou Zhi knows that this is the beginning of the vast imperial examination, and there will be government examinations and Taoist examinations soon in the future, and after passing the Xiucai examination, there will be township examinations with a more cruel elimination rate, as well as later examinations, and even palace examinations, which will be more difficult each time.

The road ahead is long and thorny, and only by continuing to make unremitting efforts can we achieve success.

This time he won the first case in the county examination, which undoubtedly shows that Chen Guangyao, the county teacher, read the case impartially, and he did not avoid suspicion. It can be seen that the county teacher has a righteous spirit and was not frightened by the gossip before the exam.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but have a heartfelt respect for the teacher in Zhixian.

Fan Jin is still a careful person, although he heard Yang Jinshan say that Zhou Zhi is the head of the case, he still went to the list to read it carefully, and made sure that Zhou Zhi was the head of the case, so he completely relieved himself.

Zhou Zhi smiled at everyone and said, "Zhou Zhi was able to pass the county exam today, thanks to the careful advice of your brothers, without the brothers' unconcealed allocation, and without the literary club we formed, the younger brother would be difficult to pass the exam." ”

Although Zhou Zhi is a humble word, it is very useful to listen to the ears of everyone. Although Zhou Zhi was at the head of the case, he was not arrogant at all, and his open-mindedness alone was admirable. At the same time, they secretly thought that there would be something great to do in the future, and it would be a great blessing in life to make friends with such people and become close friends.

Zhou Zhi then said, "This evening, the younger brother will be the east, let Brother Fan find a good restaurant in Qingdu County, and I will wait for my brother to come and get drunk!" ”

"Yes, don't get drunk!" Qiu Haolan was the first to respond.

Although Qiu Haolan usually doesn't like to drink, she is really happy about Zhou Zhi's things today, and she can't help but have the idea of drinking happily at this time.

Qiu Haolan's words just fell, but he heard an angry voice suddenly say in the crowd around the list, "You may not know who this Zhou Zhi is, right?" ”

The head of the county test was naturally the object of attention, and someone immediately responded, "Yes, I have never heard of this person before, does this brother know about him?" ”

The man raised his head and said angrily, "Of course I know, Zhou Zhi is a country boy in Baiyue Village, and he hasn't read much at all, as far as I know, he only started reading last year." ”

"It's amazing that a country boy can take the first case exam after only one year of study! I have been studying hard for ten years, but I am still famous! ”

The man seemed to be waiting for everyone's words, and immediately scolded, "What a fart!" You don't know yet, he is a student of the county magistrate, if you are a student of the county, you will definitely be the first to come out of the case. Hum! ”

Everyone didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, and they were silent for a while, and then someone reacted and said, "What does this brother mean that the county magistrate revealed the exam questions to Zhou Zhi in advance?" This brother, you can't talk nonsense like this. ”

"Nonsense? Isn't this something that lice on bald heads are a matter of? If the county magistrate didn't reveal the question to him in advance, how could he win the case. Hum! Speaking of which, the county magistrate is rectifying the style this time, but the whole people are those who have no power and no money.

This world, this county, alas! It's so sad! The man sighed loudly and scolded for a while, seeing that everyone's anger was ** up by him, but he quietly shrunk his neck, slowly withdrew from the crowd, and disappeared without a trace.

This person's name is Li Dong, he is a gangster in Qingdu County, he has never read at all, let alone participated in this county examination, the reason why he came here was completely because he was instructed by the county Cheng Yang Tong.

Yang Tong had already promised him, but if he released these words in front of all the candidates, he would give him a reward of ten taels of silver.

At this time, Li Dong was excited and hurriedly went to the county mansion to receive the reward.

The last time the county Cheng Yang Tong was put on a hard beat by the county magistrate Chen Guangyao in Baiyue Village, he has always held a grudge. Moreover, he had already disobeyed Chen Guangyao, and wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he had long been thinking about attacking Chen Guangyao in the county examination, how could he let go of such a great opportunity to make Chen Guangyao lose face and even lose his official position.

Among the onlookers who watched the list, there were naturally those who were bold, and they were furious for a while, and scolded bitterly, "What a magistrate, dog official!" Is it still natural to shield his students like this? ”

"Without heavenly principles, this world simply makes it impossible for people to live. Ten years of cold windows, in the end it is still not hit, if it is based on real talent and real learning, it is easy to say, but it is such a perverted law, go! Let's go to the magistrate to reason! See what this dog officer has to say? ”

The county test in Qingdu County has always been relatively dark, and many of them used to pass the test by going through the back door and finding their way. The candidates have long been angry in their hearts and have been indignant. But in the end, no one stood up to pick the head, just whined behind their backs and scolded for a while.

But this year is different, I thought that the county would clean up the exam, but I didn't think it would be such a result, and even this kind of backdoor relationship is even more powerful than before. Since the magistrate doesn't want to completely correct the examination style, why should he release the stinky fart that wants to take the exam seriously in advance?

This kind of person who stands on the surface and is actually a bitch in secret is the most annoying.

The breathlessness and anger that had been pressed in the hearts of the candidates for a long time finally broke out at this time, and for a while everyone was bustling, clamoring to block the entrance of the county office, shouting loudly, "Lord Zhixian, you have to give us an explanation, hum!" What bullshit Zhixian! ”

The dozens of officials who came out at the time of the posting had already returned to the county government at this time, and there was no government office outside, which made these candidates act arbitrarily and insult and humiliate Chen Guangyao, the county magistrate.

Zhou Zhi and the others chatted and laughed and didn't walk a few steps away when they heard the angry scolding of the candidates, and then surrounded the entrance of the county office.

Zhou Zhi heard clearly that his head of the case had been questioned, and he stopped for a while. Fan Jin and the others also stopped, and everyone hesitated slightly, and then walked towards the gate of the county government with Zhou Zhi.

Yue Shuzhen and his father Yue Shunde also wanted to leave, but seeing the candidates making trouble, knowing that they were dissatisfied with the head of the case, Yue Shuzhen couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, if he really made Zhou Zhi the head of the case, hehe! The head of the case is not my Yue Shuzhen.

In fact, in his heart, it is not the same as everyone's thoughts, Zhou Zhi, a kid who has only been studying for one year, can be admitted to the first case, although Zhou Zhi is smart, but how can he say that he will not have such a great ability, right? If you can't say it, you're tired.

Thinking like this, Yue Shuzhen quickly came to the door of the county office.

Zhou Zhi and the others stood on the outermost periphery, and at this time they understood the reason even more, Zhou Zhi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he said secretly, this is obviously someone with ulterior motives deliberately instigating and provoking trouble. I'm not afraid of shadows, but I want to see what they can do to me, and what can they do to Chen Guangyao, the county teacher?
