When it came to buying grain from those grain merchants who had been waiting for a long time, Wang Fulin said hello to Cheng Naixuan and Ye Qinglong, but he became the shopkeeper. But he didn't dare to be sloppy with the news revealed by Jinbao and Qiu Feng, but Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang didn't come back that night! Even if his mind is full of black lines and all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he can only hold it for the time being, and it doesn't become a matter of satisfying his doubts and making people look for people all over the world, right?

When Wang Fulin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, Duan Chaozong was reading at night. It's just that he is not alone, and there is also Mr. Qin, who is reading the papers with him. Wang Fulin didn't know such a person before, because like the original Airborne Master Li, Master Qin also recommended himself at the end of last year and became Duan Chaozong's Xixi and Duan Gongzi's teacher. It's just that he is just a showman, not a person, his knowledge is stable, and his articles are quite solid, and he doesn't care about human feelings, and he doesn't care about government affairs, Duan Chaozong is quite satisfied with people.

When reading the papers, Master Qin took a cursory glance and was able to pick out all those papers with excellent literature and science and put them in front of him, which saved Duan Chaozong's rough comments. As for judging the rankings, this is completely Duan Chaozong's own business, and he will not let a master overstep his bounds. Therefore, he saw the third watch all the time that night, and after the morning hall the next day, the afternoon hall and the evening hall Duan Chaozong were all temporarily exempted, and all his energy was put on his last government test in Huizhou. Even so, he still summoned Professor Luo from the Fuxue, and the two of them spent a little more effort searching for the scrolls. This was tossed until the afternoon of the third day, and all the papers that had been ranked on the first list were lined up on the desk.

Like the top ten in the county, this is the top ten in the government!

"Break the seal!"

Professor Fu Xueluo and Tongzhi Tongju supervised on the side. Several of the officials stepped forward and moved quickly. But. The little official who opened the head of the mansion suddenly exclaimed. I saw that the sharp eyes were all focused on himself. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered: "Fuzun, the little one is guilty, and the little one shouldn't shout, but this is the first ...... It's Wang Jinbao! ”

Who are the scholars who took the exam, Duan Chaozong really can't name a few people, but the three words Wang Jinbao are too familiar. Because thanks to the fact that he has the most famous adoptive father! Although even the Great Grandmaster of Tixue had a lot of importance for Wang Jinbao, at this moment, he couldn't help but stand up and take the sealed scroll in his hand, thinking that he was only nine years old. At this time, knowing who the person was, he realized that although the handwriting was neat, it was still not as good as the older one, and he felt a little immature. But the article was different, the atmosphere was meticulous, and he didn't expect it to be written by a nine-year-old boy before!

"Fu Zun ......" This time, it was Guo Tongzhi who spoke cautiously. Do you want to press Wang Jinbao's ranking in order to avoid suspicion? For example, put it in the second or third place in the first list? ”

Duan Chaozong suddenly glanced sideways at Guo Tongzhi. Seeing that he hurriedly shut up, as if he was afraid of committing his own taboo, he pinched the paper, and he didn't know what to do. According to the rules, the top ten in the county had to be mentioned in the court during the government examination, and the seat they sat was very close to him, the prefect, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not patrol the field, so he didn't even notice how Jinbao's article was, so he almost took the head of the government case. At this moment, a thousand thoughts were rolling in his heart, and he even thought of Xie Tingjie's previous annual exam leak incident, but he did not see the question on paper this time, but directly swiped his pen on the day of the government exam, how could it be known?

Unless the man is a roundworm in his belly! How should the head of this government be determined?

Duan Chaozong was entangled, and Professor Luo was also entangled, although he couldn't participate in the reading of the papers, but when he searched for the papers, he also had a little selfishness, and before the opening of the seal, all the names could be seen, and some people said favors to him, a professor of Fuxue, and begged him to be among the top lists. But he opened his mouth several times, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.

You must know that the lessons of his predecessor, Professor Liu, are still there!

After a stalemate for a long time, Duan Chaozong ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, polish the ink, serve the pen and paper, and this mansion will personally write the list of today's cases!" ”

If the Shexian County Examination is just an annual event for young students in one county to compete in order to learn, then the Huizhou Government Examination is a grand event for students from six counties in one prefecture. Although over the years, Shexian County has won the most government heads, but Xiuning Wuyuan has always had talented people emerging, and the small Jixi also has talented people, although Qimen and Yixian are often slightly inferior, but it is not uncommon for a dark horse to suddenly appear. But on the whole, the head of the case is related to the competition in the literary circles of the six counties, and even involves various intricate power contests.

At this moment, it is almost dusk, and the reason why the case was chosen at this time is naturally to uphold the purpose of the sooner the better, and everyone can rest assured. The capital of the six counties faintly formed a small circle, such as Wu Tianluo, the head of the county case of Shexian County, stood with the second place Xu Shan and Jinbao Qiufeng, they were the top four in the county examination, and the oldest was thirteen or fourteen, although the young Jinbao was only nine years old, naturally he had no common language with those who were older. For the head of the government, Wu Tianluo and Xu Shan don't have much extravagance, in their words of pretending to be little adults, the Taoist test is the top priority, and the county test is just a small test.

Of course, everyone knows that Wu Tianluo, who is the head of the county trial, is almost equivalent to having already booked the talent spot, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

But Jinbao and Qiu Feng were not so calm, and the two of them told Wang Fulin that Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke might have bet on the question a long time ago, but Wang Fulin actually knew that even after that, he was not comforted or explained, and they were still in a mess in their hearts until now. Qiu Feng, who has always been more worried, even muttered to Jin Bao in a low voice: "If this is really smashed in the sky, will it cause trouble for the petty officials?" Trouble for Duan Fuzun? Look at the time when the petty officials took the annual exam, they made such a big fuss......"

"And Daddy didn't come today." Jinbao muttered as he glanced at the people around him, and asked in a low voice, "Qiu Feng, where do you think the two of us will be?" ”

Qiu Feng himself was entangled. He had just asked Wu Tianqi and Xu Shan's strategy, for him, who had been bombarded indiscriminately by various articles about the head of the case for most of the past six months, these two were really a little hot, but he really couldn't say the ranking of himself and Jinbao. Just then, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him.

"Yo, this is Shexian County's first list this year? None of the hairs have grown yet! When Ye Xianzun took the ranking, was it the age when he didn't read the article and looked at it directly? ”

"Brother Nian, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as Qiu Feng and Jin Bao turned their heads, they saw that the young man with a rebellious face was dragged away from behind, followed by even covering his mouth, and of course there were no words of ridicule. Looking in other directions, they saw that many of the piles of people were looking at them with different looks, and the most of them were envy, jealousy, and hatred. At this time, even Qiu Feng was a little hairy, pulled Wu Tianluo's sleeve, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Wu, Brother Xu, why don't we stay here to watch the case, go farther, and wait for someone to report to us?" ”

Wu Tianluo and Jinbao Qiufeng are familiar with each other, that is, the county test and after the county test, at this moment, he himself felt that those eyes were a little stinging, or rather stingy, so he hesitated for a moment to agree, and Xu Shan was also hesitating. Who knew that at this moment, he only heard a cannon not far away, and it was actually the case that had come over! At this time, there was no way to hide, no way to hide, Wu Tianluo could only cheer up and say: "It's okay, we'll leave after reading the case!" ”

The government examination is also the first and second list, even if the second list hangs at the end, even if a child is in hand, even if he is not exempt from servitude, he has no privileges, at least he has the qualifications to go to participate in the Taoist examination, so when the list of the second list is posted, I don't know how many people flocked to it, intending to take a closer look. Jin Bao and Qiu Feng were short in stature, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, so they could only distinguish one or two from the gossip of the crowd, but they regretted that as soon as Wu Tianluo and Xu Shan came to the door today, they came out with them, and forgot to bring two more people to help.

"It seems that I am not very lucky, although I am third on the second list, but I have fallen out of the top ten after all!"

Xu Shan was thin but flexible, and at this time he had already squeezed out from the front, and then looked at the three young men in front of him and said, "The three names are not on the B list, it seems that there are shares in the top ten!" ”

Not only Xu Shan, but also many scholars who watched the list, all their eyes fell on Wu Tianluo and Jinbao Qiufeng. Wu Tianluo was the oldest, and instinctively blocked most of his vision with his body, but he was about to say something, but he didn't want a voice to come from behind him: "Jinbao, Qiu Feng, I'm also here to see the case!" ”

With this voice, Ye Xiaopang didn't know where it came from. There were two big-shouldered and round-waisted men behind him, which immediately shocked some ill-intentioned people. He glanced at the others triumphantly, and then coughed lightly: "It's a pity that I couldn't go to the government exam with you, otherwise maybe I would be a child." Dad said, let me go back to Ningbo next year to take the ......"

Ye Xiaopang chattered, and the originally stiff atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. Soon, people found out that the first list, which should be posted immediately after the B list, has not come out yet!

"Why hasn't the first list come out yet?"

As soon as someone came out of the voice, it came and went. Finally, people didn't wait too long, only to see a commotion erupted from the people at the front: "Duan Fuzun has come out in person!" (To be continued......)
