As usual, there are only facts of the case in the two examination papers, and there is no A and B, and the candidates will write the judgment according to the law. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Daming is currently illiterate in the law, and they themselves enjoy preferential treatment as scholars, so they don't have to worry about breaking the law, so there is less demand for learning the law. Yu Daming Law has not studied much, at most he has read a few articles, and it is impossible to judge the case if he can't talk about reading it through. Moreover, after passing the first exam, they were busy relaxing, even if they didn't invite an opera troupe like Zhang Shilu, or drink flower wine, they had to sleep at home, and they had no intention of studying, so they were mentally slack off first.

Some veteran candidates who have experienced a hundred battles know that they don't read the two exam papers at all, and they are very coping with writing, and there are no typos in the text and no scribbling, and the writing is not visible at all, and it is perfunctory at a glance.

When Pang Feng came to Cui Shan's room, he was looking for a manuscript with an ink pen and a recommendation, and when he saw Pang and Wu, he immediately handed over the volume. The first of the two cases was a case involving marriage. Since the case file does not write A and B, the parties only refer to their identities:

The daughter of a wealthy man and the teacher of the private school are in love with each other, and they are privately engaged for life. After the matchmaker agreed, the marriage was promised by the rich man. But a rich son coveted the beauty of the young lady, bribed the young lady's maidservant to provoke it, and asked the media to lobby the rich man. The rich man coveted his son's money, broke the marriage contract, and gave his daughter another marriage to him. On the day of the wedding, the young lady refused to get on the sedan chair and was forcibly dragged away. When worshipping heaven and earth, the young lady took advantage of the unpreparedness, stabbed the son with the scissors hidden in advance in her sleeve, and took advantage of the chaos at the scene to escape from his house, and ran to the county government to sue the son for robbing the people's daughter; The tutor also sued the county government because the rich man repented of his marriage, and the son also sued the young lady for stabbing her husband.

The examination requires that the candidate draw up a judgment based on the facts of the case and write a judgment. To be honest, this kind of complicated case seems to be a bit of a headache even for the examiner. After all, the examiners of the township examination are all academic officials, and they have not experienced judicial practice, so they don't even know how to start handling this kind of case. It is even more difficult for candidates to do it. I don't know how many candidates privately greeted the ancestors of the questioners, and the answers are also varied, but Cui Shan picked out this one, but it stands out from the crowd and rarely has good products:

"Guan Sui" sings about good things, and "Zhou Li" remarries the ceremony. Men and women are happy, which is originally a constant love; The husband sings and the wife follows, and he is called a good couple. The teacher is good at carving dragons and horses; Miss bard, willow catkins, and the needle god. At the beginning, the love was simple and simple, and the book of words was frequently asked; Then he dreamed of stabilizing Wushan and became a guest stealing incense. The guests of the west seat will be the quick son-in-law of the east bed. Fang said that love is not old, and the piano is harmonious; Who knows that the sea of evil is boundless, and the storm suddenly arises. The son of his son is stubborn and shameless, and he is a lascivious disciple. The power of wealth and power is a combination of karma. The handmaiden is ignorant and cunning; The rich businessman was so deaf that he listened to slander. Then he followed the crow with the colorful phoenix, and made Zhang Guan and Li Dai. The young lady kept her chastity until she died. Swinging blood to splash the murderer, how can the ambition be taken? It is difficult to exclude the public and appeal to the long, and it is difficult to be wise. It is still advisable to restore the former alliance and fulfill your wishes. The bright moon is three or five, which can be harmonious and long-cherished; A pair of flowers and candles will always be good for a hundred years. Rich businessmen are greedy for the rich and dislike the poor, and they are ugly if they abandon the good. The desire for profit smoked his conscience, and his daughter turned out to be a strange commodity. It should be known that Ling A is selfless and should be punished; Gu Nianti wept and please, temporarily exempt from the cane. The son is slippery, and the market is a silver apprentice. Breaking people's flesh and bones, ruining people's husbands and wives, their feelings can be punished, and their sins are unforgivable. He should be reprimanded with a rod and set an example for him. This verdict. ”

Pang Feng, as the main examiner, doesn't know how many papers he has read, generally speaking, no matter how good the papers are, he has only seen them in his hands, and then he said that he knew it. But when he saw this volume, he read it several times, and then looked at Cui Shan, and there was a little more praise in his eyes.

"Cui Xuebo, I want to congratulate you. In your room, you're going to be the best. ”

The top five names in the people are the five classics, and the students selected by each room must worship the teacher of this room as their own room teacher, and the chief examiner is the seat teacher. The relationship between teachers and students is not as solid as the examination, but after all, there is a root bond, and if there is something to ask the disciples in the future, the disciple will not refuse. The little master who can be the leader of the Five Classics will naturally get enough rewards from his disciples in the future.

Pang Feng's identity is special, and he will not say anything, Cui Shan was surprised and delighted: "This ...... Can this article really be? ”

"Of course, if this article is not possible, there is no article to be won. Just looking at the judgment in the first paragraph, it is enough to be Chinese. Brother Wu, please. ”

Wu Lian, the deputy chief examiner, hurriedly ran back to the room to take pen and ink, first wrote a word on the paper, and then handed the volume to Pang Feng, who added another Chinese character, and the article was officially finalized. When he returned to the room, Wu Lian asked, "Brother Pang, why is it familiar to me when I look at that sentence?" ”

"How is it uncooked? This is a case that happened in Guangxi half a year ago, and Ling Zhijun used this case to test his staff Fan Jin, and Fan Jin's verdict was like this. Because this word is well written, it was taken by Ling Zhijun and said it several times at the banquet of Guangdong officialdom. This time, let's come up with the question, Liu Fangbo used this case again, and then look at this judgment, why don't you understand? ”

"This ...... Will there be any trouble, after all, the sea is ......"

"Haigangfeng is just a filial piety, are you really afraid of this living saint? This lawsuit is not to be afraid of the royal front, the two of us are foreigners, who knows that when Liu Fangbo was eating, he deliberately read this judgment to us? At that time, just the three of you and I were present, could it be that Brother Wu would go to the first place? If there is no evidence to check, what is there to fear? Don't forget, this is Yuan Weng's explanation, although the imperial examination is important now, but the new law is even more important. I heard that Fan Jin is a cadre who is in favor of the new law, such a person is not hit, beware of Jiangling taking us as a stumbling block to hinder the new law, and cut down the sacrificial flag with one sword! ”

Thinking of Zhang Juzheng's strength, Wu Lian didn't say much, but said: "What about the manuscript of the transfer room the day before yesterday?" In an article, I did 23 questions, and I admire this talent. When today's academic style is impetuous, it is not easy to find those who can step down on the heart to cure the One Classic, and those who really understand the Five Classics and can speak of things can only be said to be the genius of heaven. If such a person does not win the solution, I will not be at ease in my heart. ”

Pang Feng twisted his beard and muttered, "That article is really good, but his second title judgment is not as good as this one, which is also true." This ranking thing, and let me think about it......"

The township test list was issued after August 20, and the non-Chen day was the Yin day, and the Chen Dragon Yinhu was called the Dragon and Tiger List with the list of the township test, and because the osmanthus had bloomed at this time, it was also called the Dragon and Tiger List.

Since the end of the examination on 15 August, the candidates have been like wild horses on the loose, and there are endless banquets at the Wenhui Banquet, no one can cure picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and even some families that do not have deep houses and courtyards and no servants have painted their female dependents with black faces and are not allowed to see outsiders. Rao is like this, the salted fish jerky hanging outside is also inevitably gone, and some small jasper unmarried and pregnant people are inevitable.

Fortunately, everything has an end, and when the list is released, the people of Hecheng and the yamen will be able to get out of the sea of suffering, no matter what the outcome is, this township test will be over.

The day of the dragon in this section is August 21, and the day of writing is August 20. At the time of Shen, outside the Yamen of the Chief Minister, there were already students gathering. Looking at the black and oppressive Quartet Scarf, the messengers and patrolmen also began to be on guard, and someone muttered in a low voice, "If they don't hit later, will they rush to the yamen?" Why don't you turn a shotgun? ”

Ma Hongyin also mixed in the crowd, twisting his hair with one hand and shaking a fan with the other, looking extremely chic. Zhang Shilu and others were beside him, whispering about things like writing lists and publishing lists, while Ma Hongyin took out a pair of pointing out the country, and pointed to the well-dressed overlord in front of him:

"The list is divided into two batches. One group was ambushed outside the tribute courtyard, waiting for the horses, and the other group was guarding here. Some laymen said that they would have to wait for the list to be released, that is, they would not understand the market, and the color pavilion for the dragon and tiger list would not come until tomorrow. Now the only thing to wait for is to report the horse. It's a pity that I can't go to the Gongyuan to see it, the whole township exam is the best now, and it's much more interesting than the previous exam. ”

At this time, the internal and external customs have been withdrawn, and the chief exam, room examination, invigilator, school, and internal and external curtain officials are all available, all of whom must be dressed in public uniforms, and sit in the "public court", unsealing the seal on one side, and facing the ink scroll on the other. Start reading by the reading officer, and once Zhu Mo meets, he will start filling in the list according to his name. Tear one apart, write one. The name slip is stuffed out of the crack in the door, and the "newspaper room" is prepared in advance, and when you look at the name, you will know where to report the victory. ”

"The list is divided into the main and secondary, and the sub-list is actually a good sound, and it is not useful. In addition to the main list and the sub-list, there is also a separate preparation volume. Specially prepared for the inconsistency of Zhu Mo. If it is found that Zhu Mo does not match at this time, he will be deposed on the spot, and he will be put on top of the preparation volume. In fact, at this point, how could Zhu Mo not match? If it really doesn't match, who is responsible? Therefore, the character also has to be a match, and the non-match has to be a match, and the reading is just a passing scene. Those nominated on the main list are called Langzhang, and those nominated on the secondary list are called Rongwa. ”

Zhang Shilu smiled: "Huh? It's funny, it sounds like a woman giving birth. ”

"It's about having a baby. The name of the preparation paper is more interesting, it is called the fetus. ”

Fan Jin couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, and said in his heart: This is called a fetus, it might as well be called a spare tire, but there is no goddess and forgiveness hat.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves had already sounded, and the students began to commotion, and someone shouted: "The one who announces the good news, the one who announces the good news is coming." It must be the official of the newspaper! ”

Zhang Shilu and Chen Shaodian didn't believe that their rankings were so high, and they didn't think that the official who came at this time had something to do with them. But there is a glimmer of hope in my heart, in case there is no paper in the field, in case the scholar has no eyes, or the ancestral tomb smokes...... I couldn't help but raise my feet and look into the distance.

Ma Hongyin shook his head and said, "What's the hurry?" Decent! Decency for reading people! Even if you win, don't be in a hurry at this time. Besides, in my opinion, it may not be a real estate report. ”

The sound of horses' hooves approached, but I heard a loud voice shouting: "I am Fu Liang, the general of the Governor Battalion, and I have come to Xiao'er to learn about the order of the peak." If you read the book of Confucius and Mencius, you should know the etiquette of the Duke of Zhou, and you should not act in a reckless manner to despise the law. Fang had just reported to the house and reported to the errand officer, and was forcibly stopped by Er and others to ask for his name, and the person had been dragged into the ditch and injured himself, and could not go. If there is another offender, it must be done by the official law! ”

The scholars were stunned at first, and then someone scolded, "Get out!" We want to listen to the newspapers, who cares who you are in the Chinese army. If you don't leave, even you will fight together! ”

"That's right, hurry up and get out of the way, don't stop the master from explaining!"

Someone picked up stones or garbage from the ground and threw them over, and Fu Liang, who was a ten-man enemy on the battlefield, did not dare to compete with these scholars, so he turned his horse and fled. After a long while, a weak voice floated from afar, "Which is Zhao Yinglin Zhao of Xinhui County?" Zhao Gong, the old man of good news, Yinglin, the sixth place in the Guangdong Township Examination in high school, Yayuan ......"

In the crowd, there was a loud laugh from a person: "I...... I'm Zhao Yinglin! I'm Zhao Yinglin. I hit, I really hit! Haha, I really hit it! I'm going to post it now, sixth place. ”

A scholar rushed out of the crowd and ran into the distance. The poor man who was not good at his legs and feet suddenly became like a fly, and chased after him closely, saying while chasing: "Reward!" Lord, reward money! ”

Ma Hongyin sneered: "This surnamed Zhao has no money at first glance, if he has money, the second report and the third report have already arrived at this time." He had no money, and his home was in the countryside, so he had to ask for a reward. This poor person is also unlucky, and he deserves to be unlucky to share such a person to report. ”

Chen Shaodian asked, "Sixth place?" How to report the sixth place first, where did the top few go? ”

"Because the sixth place was the first to be written, naturally I will report him first." Ma Hongyin shook the folding fan and pointed out: "The township test fills in the list, starting from the sixth place." The first one to write is the sixth. In fact, the sixth place is not qualified to be called Yayuan, but in order to ask for a mouthful, I went with him. Xie Yuan must be scored by the main examiner, and Yakui is scored by the deputy examiner, which accounts for two, and the rest is filled in according to the number of rooms. For example, there are a total of eighteen rooms for the examiners of this Guangdong judging paper, and they must first fill in to twenty, and from the third place to the twenty can be called Yayuan, in fact, in the officialdom, they should be called Fang Yuan. I started to write from the sixth place, and it was not until the first list was filled in that I began to fill in the five classics. So the top five are actually the last ones written......"

The horses came one after another, Xu learned the lessons of the front, and the horses behind rode well, and no one dared to stop them casually on the road, so as not to be dragged into the ditch and injured again. One after another, the names were shouted, Chen Wang was the thirty-ninth, Zhang Shilu was the sixty-fifth, Chen Shaodian was the eightieth, and Wei Haogu was at the bottom, ninety-seventh, and there was also a good name called Suo Yuan.

Some scholars left happily, some shouted injustice outside the government secretary's yamen, and some were already leaving. As the sky got late, there were not too many scholars outside the Yamen of the Political Secretary. Basically, they are all on the list, waiting for the official release of the list, and some are looking forward to a miracle.

Fan Jin's name was never called, but instead of being contemptuous, everyone looked at him with a little more reverence. No one would be stupid enough to think that Fan Jin might fall off the list, and now there is only one possibility that his name does not appear, that is, he is among the top of the Five Classics, and there is even hope that he is Xie Yuan.

Those who gambled on Xie Yuan had already focused their attention here, and Ma Hongyin also said: "Retreat, don't worry. The so-called backwards are written backwards, and the township meeting test is the same. The first place to write is the fifth, and it is best not to have your name at this time. Besides, we have to wait for a while, now the Gongyuan is lively, and Wukui is making trouble. First of all, I ordered a pair of butter and red wax with thick arms, and where the five Kui were out, they put the candle in front of the room master to congratulate, and the roll call wanted to tear open their necks and shout, which looked festive. Everyone wants to dance and make a fuss, so they are called Wukui, and even the candle clerks have to grab it, in order to be happy. Wait until the trouble is over, and then write the list. After writing the list, the examiner has to kneel down the list, which is called the teacher and protégé. In fact, it's because this list is going to be released from the Great Interior, and it will be viewed by His Majesty, which is a long live worship......"

In the Gong Courtyard, the trouble has ended, the names of the five kui in the Bingzike Township Examination have been revealed, and Wu Lian, the deputy chief examiner, gently unsealed the seal. He looked at Pang Feng, Pan Feng nodded, and the roll call sang loudly: "Second place, Yakui: Nanhai Fan Jin Fan retreats!" ”
