Hu Anguo is also worried about this matter, if Zhao Gou is placed in the first place in the first department, it will be "Xie Yuan", and he will definitely be famous. Locally, Zhao Gou's name will be well known, and his deeds will also be widely circulated.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the later things will be more serious. After all, Zhao Gou's exam only took half of the time of ordinary people, so it would be really bad if others followed suit. However, they forgot how ordinary people could answer so quickly.

Originally, Mr. Zhang wanted to put Zhao Gou in third place, but he just remembered the article he wrote, and the talent he showed was difficult to hide. I had to find such a reason and press it well, also to warn Zhao Gou, but more often than not, he hated that he, the examiner, had never enjoyed the authority that the examiner should have in front of Zhao Gou, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The other examiners thought about it and felt that what Master Zhang said was reasonable, so they nodded in agreement. As a result, Zhao Weiguo ranked second in the first department, that is, "Yayuan". As for the list, it will be announced tomorrow, and then the candidates will know everything.

After several days of struggle, Hu Anguo asked everyone to go back to their homes to rest. After today, everyone does not have to go back to the Tribute Courtyard, but can recuperate at home. Since Hu Anguo and Wang Huai were both sent by the imperial court, they could stay in the tribute courtyard to rest.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow slipped out of the room, and then walked softly towards the answer room. This person is Hu Anguo, he has never done such a thing, this is the first time he has used his power for personal gain, and his heart is full of guilt.

However, he was not the one who stole Zhao's answer sheet, he only needed to open the door in the answer room. Steward Wang sneaked in quietly, found Hu Anguo, went with him again, and then put himself indoors, directly found Zhao Gou's answer sheet, then rolled it up, hid it in his arms, and came out.

"Thank you!" Steward Wang thanked him solemnly, and then took his leave and left.

Hu Anguo looked at the figure of Steward Wang's Jian Jian and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I, Hu, would have today, I am really helpless!" ”

Originally, Hu Anguo looked down on those who used power for personal gain, but he didn't expect that he would embark on this road by himself today. Even if he knew that this matter was related to the emperor, he still couldn't get through the checkpoint in his heart, and because of this, Hu Anguo completely dispelled the idea of owing favors, and favors were the most difficult to repay; never mentioned the matter of being an official, even if it was the imperial examination, he did not participate in it, and he fulfilled his ambition wholeheartedly.

When Steward Wang left the Tribute Courtyard, he found a secluded place, then repacked Zhao Gou's answer sheet, sealed it again, and left again and came to the town; Then he found another blacksmith shop, knocked softly, and whispered, "Send this out!" ”

The man did not ask what it was, nor where or to whom. Just because he is also a person from the villa, he doesn't have to think about it to be sent back to the villa and handed over to the owner. It is not Zhao Yougong, but it is handed over to Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Yougong is just a temporary generation, not the owner.

Zhao Gou is the current owner, and he is in Xiangzhou Mansion, and Steward Wang is with him, and in the end it can only be Zhao Xiang. However, neither Steward Wang nor the man knew what they were doing, but they were all seen by one person, but he did not intervene to stop them.

This person is Zhao Gou, and he chose to follow behind Steward Wang, just because he figured out some things and wanted to verify them. Sure enough, as he guessed, Steward Wang came out late at night to visit the Gongyuan and met Hu Anguo again, the two of them did know each other, and all this was more like an arrangement.

In addition to the things in the academy, stepping into the territory of Ye County, Zhao Gou always felt a feeling of being supervised, as if everything was arranged. This made him feel like he couldn't speak, and in addition, Zhao Gou discovered the abnormality of Steward Wang.

So, Zhao Gou paid attention to the observation and really found some clues. It's just that he didn't show his face, just waiting for the opportunity to find out.

If it weren't for the fact that there were more answers, Steward Wang would not come rashly, and would only use carrier pigeons to deliver the news. Unexpectedly, this time alone, it was completely exposed. When Steward Wang turned to go back, he happened to see Zhao Gou looking at him with a smile and said, "Brother Wang is so interested, he doesn't sleep late at night, he is so busy, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Less...... Young Lord! Steward Wang looked at Zhao Gou with a smile on his face in horror, only to feel goosebumps all over his body, and the whole person was uncomfortable, in addition, what he did by himself made him a little weak, and he was caught by Zhao Gou, so he was even more frightened.

Steward Wang saw that Zhao Gou had found out, and he didn't plan to hide anything, he had thought about it before, but the timing was wrong, so he didn't say much. Now, Zhao Gou has found out that the evidence is conclusive, so he said directly: "The subordinates are guilty, please punish the young master!" ”

"This is not the place to talk, come with me!" Zhao Gou smiled lightly, which made Steward Wang even more afraid.

What he is afraid of is not Zhao Gou's punishment, but that he cannot continue to serve Zhao Gou. If it is said that Shi dies for his confidant, as long as Zhao Gou gives an order, Steward Wang will definitely not say a word, and he will not frown a single brow. It's just that he did this, and he was ashamed of Zhao Gou's trust in his heart.

Seeing his drooping face and lifeless appearance, Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "There is no need to do this, I already know what you have done, and you don't have to blame yourself for this matter." I just want to ask you, whose idea was this? ”

"......" Steward Wang didn't answer, he couldn't afford to offend here, and Zhao seemed to be hard to say there, so he had to be silent.

"Was it Uncle Wang's idea?" Zhao Gou looked at Steward Wang and raised his head suddenly, affirmed his conjecture, and said helplessly: "Is Uncle Thirteen Wang so worried about me?" Arrange everything for me, when did you contact Uncle Wang? ”

"The subordinates follow the young master, although there is the meaning of the king of Chu, but it is more the meaning of the owner. He was worried about the danger of the young master being out alone, so he asked me to come. In addition......" Steward Wang paused, and then said: "In addition, this is also what the emperor meant!" ”

Zhao Gou thought that there were only thirteen uncles, but he didn't expect that his father was also worried about him, but now he understands the hardships of Steward Wang. However, he also knew that Steward Wang was loyal and would not betray himself at all, the only thing was to tell his whereabouts, which was nothing, and when he passed the township examination, he would enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and he would naturally see him at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou also felt that it was nothing. However, Steward Wang still felt guilty, lowered his head, and did not dare to raise it. Zhao Gou asked him to explain everything clearly, and even guessed whether Hu Anguo knew him or not; Steward Wang knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told everything about it.

not only what happened in front, but also what happened later, even what he said about his acquaintance with Hu Anguo and other 1510 to Zhao Gou, there was nothing to hide, and even the things that he wanted to say a few days ago but didn't say it for some reason.

After Zhao Gou heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, originally he wanted to be alone, but the final result was arranged by his father and uncle. However, Steward Wang deliberately emphasized that they didn't help anything, everything was obtained by Zhao Gou's own ability, which made him feel better.

"Forget about this matter, the past is not to blame!" After Zhao Gou listened, he knew in his heart that Steward Wang was thinking about himself, so he would not pursue this matter. However, he still solemnly reminded: "Since you are no longer from the villa, you don't have to obey anyone's orders, if there is a next time, you will definitely be responsible!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Steward Wang replied categorically.

Originally, Steward Wang had the idea of telling the plate, and it would be better to take this opportunity to say it all. In addition, he also understood the meaning of Zhao Gou's words. Since he is not from Amber Villa, he has completely cut off contact with the villa, no matter whose orders he is, he no longer has to listen to them, he only needs to obey Zhao Gou's orders.

It's not just an admonition, it's a warning. If it is a recidivist, it will be difficult to escape punishment, no one wants to have someone around him who bites him at any time, these Wang stewards all understand that from now on, they will only obey Zhao Gou's orders, and no one will obey them anymore, even the emperor and the prince will not be able to order, only Zhao Gou has this power.
