Chapter 74: Scratching

"Xiao Qi, don't panic, tell me in detail."

About two minutes later, some people began to attack the unfairness of the examination in front of the list, saying that the examination has always been a theory of governing the country, but the current subject suddenly became an economic theory, and there must be something strange in it. At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so people coaxing, and it didn't take long for the nameless candidates on the list to make noise, shouting for the court to give an explanation, and there was chaos in front of the Gongyuan, and then the Lai'an Mansion sent a large number of officials to maintain order, for some reason, the two sides quarreled, and then they started to move, and those officials also detained several people, which caused even more disgust among the candidates, and surrounded the officials, and the two sides were at a stalemate. ”

Wen Tianxiang and I glanced at each other and said, "Song Rui, you take the three of you to the Qiongyuan banquet." Xiao Qi, call Mr. Shang, I will take a look. ”

"Yes, the minister will go to Qiongyuan."

"Wait, immediately notify He Ji Ma Tingluan to go to the Tribute Courtyard."

Xiao Qi saw me change my clothes and said, "Official, do you want to call all of them Lan Yu?" ”

"Let's go, no need, I'm not going to fight."

The crowd in front of the Gongyuan has not yet dispersed, and a large number of officials are standing at the door and confronting the candidates. Yuan Xiaoqi and I were caught in the crowd of onlookers and looked towards the door.

Weng Yinglong, the deputy chief examiner, stood in front and shouted loudly to the candidates: "Ladies and gentlemen, the questions of the previous palace examinations are all hand-picked by the emperor, our dynasty needs Zhongxing, and the economy must go ahead. You are all gone, the scholars should be conscious, and work hard after you go back, and strive to be on the high school list next time. ”

As soon as Weng Yinglong finished speaking, he heard a loud voice in the crowd say: "This lord, we know you, you are one of the chief examiners of this imperial examination, we want to have a fair dialogue with the adults, but before that, please let these officials leave." ”

Weng Yinglong's face sank and said: "It is the duty of the Lin'an Mansion to maintain order, and this lord has no right to prohibit it. ”

The voice continued: "Fellow students, we are not willing to talk in the midst of the officials, do you also agree? ”

"Yes, yes." Only a handful of people started to respond, but they quickly got a response from the majority: "We agree, we want to be fair." ”

Weng Yinglong was a little annoyed and said: "If you are unreasonable again, then the official will be powerless." ”

"My lord, why are we being vexatious? We just want to know the truth of the matter. ”

"yes, we're not making a fuss." More and more candidates are responding to the path.

I frowned when I heard this, and said in my heart, how can this Weng Yinglong still be full of official authority at this time.

Weng Yinglong made a silent movement with both hands: "Everyone, this official knows what you think in your heart, but the state has national laws, you leave first, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow you to gather casually to make trouble." Listen to the words of the official and leave quickly, otherwise, the official will not be able to protect you according to the rules. ”

This time, the candidates were even more angry, they had just gone online, and gathering crowds to make trouble had violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and many impulsive students had friction with the surrounding officials, and the situation was chaotic again.

In the tearing, the officials were able to tolerate it in the early stage, but gradually some of the officials were hurt, and these officials were proud of their might, and they refused to suffer, and they raised their sticks and instruments one after another, and fought with the candidates in groups. Most of the candidates were weak, and they were the opponents of the officials, and after a while, many of them were beaten to the ground, but fortunately, the officials did not dare to use their strength, and it was no big deal.

"The official has beaten someone, come and see." The loud voice didn't know where to hide and started screaming again.

"The official sent someone to beat someone." Several voices chimed in.

All of a sudden, there was chaos in the square.

Suddenly, Yuan Jian whispered in my ear: "The candidates who started in the early stage know martial arts. ”

My heart moved, and I said to Xiao Qi: "Go check that voice and see who it is?" ”

At this time, the chief examiners He Ji and Ma Tingluan, who heard the news, also came to the door of the Gongyuan.

As the chief examiner, He Ji saw that the situation was out of control, hurriedly walked to the bottom of the red list, and knocked on a gong and drum in front of the door, only to hear two sudden loud noises of "bang, bang", which calmed down the two sides of the battle.

He Ji walked in front of Weng Yinglong, waved his hands lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, these candidates all knew He Ji and knew that he was the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and this white-haired He Ji He had a good reputation in the hearts of students all over the world, and when he saw He Ji come forward, he gradually calmed down. He Ji looked at the students in the square and said: "Everyone, old man He Ji, as the chief examiner of this scientific examination, today is the release of the list, it should be celebrated together, although most of you have not been able to make the list, but now the Emperor has increased the number of people on the list from forty to sixty in the previous session, and the emperor's move is to hope that more candidates can be on the high school red list." As for the doubts in your minds, or any other thoughts, they can be reflected from the normal channels, and you must not take such extreme methods, think for yourself, what problems can be solved in this way? In addition, the official will play the emperor, and the emperor will send a messenger to accept all the candidates' questions in the Gongyuan in the afternoon of tomorrow, and the official will guarantee that no official will appear, and give everyone a chance for fair dialogue. ”

After listening to He Ji's words, the candidates whispered one after another, in fact, most of these candidates were frustrated because they were not on the list, and some people were instigated, hot-headed, and momentarily gaffe, so they participated in it, not because they had any doubts in their hearts.

The topic of the temple examination is on the economy of the country, although it is rare, but it is not impossible.

Historically, the IQ of scholars has been very high, but the EQ was relatively low before he joined the WTO.

He Ji saw that the crowd in the square had calmed down a little, and said to Ma Tingluan: "Master Ma, let's remove these servants first." ”

Ma Tingluan nodded and said, "That's fine, Lord He continues, I'll go and inform the head of the officials." ”

Although the official was sent by the Lin'an Mansion, he did not dare not evacuate in front of Master Shangshuma of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time released several candidates who were detained.

He Ji continued to the candidates: "The old man is seventy and seven this year, and after several scientific examinations, he understands your mood very well. Everyone, let's disperse, go back and think about what questions you have, tomorrow afternoon the old man will also accompany Qin Cha here to communicate with you, and the old man hopes to see you again in the next imperial examination. ”

As soon as the heat of the candidates in the square passed, they calmed down. Among them, a few people were the second disciples of He Ji or Ma Tingluan, and there were also many candidates who followed He Ji's teachings very much and admired him as a person, so these people began to take the lead in leaving.

It just so happened that the surrounding officials gradually dispersed, and seeing this situation, most of the candidates left one after another. The loud voice didn't make a sound again, so it must have been quietly left in the crowd.

I had just returned to Ningqian Palace, and Xiao Qi then came back panting.

"Xiao Qi, speak slowly."

"Official, there are several people, after leaving the Gongyuan Square, they ran to the northwest, and the speed was very fast, the small ones saw the difference, desperately chased after them, one of them fell behind, chased to a corner, and could catch this person when they saw it, I never thought that a masked man suddenly appeared, and took that person away, this masked man was too fast, I couldn't react at all, and it was a moment of effort to lose a trace, and the few people in front of him also did not know where to go."

"Mr. is right, these people are full of martial arts, but fortunately, the respected He Ji arrived in time, so there were no major problems."

Xiao Qidao: "Official, listening to the accents of those people is not from Lin'an." ”

I smiled and said, "Candidates come from all over the world and have different accents, but these people may not be candidates." ”

Yuan Jian also said: "Yes, the minister also feels that he is not like a student who takes the exam." ”

Xiao Qi sighed: "Alas, it's all because of Xiao's incompetence and failure to catch it." ”

Yuan Jian said: "Xiao Qi doesn't have to blame himself, think about it, since practicing the third section of Taizu Changquan, you have made great progress in speed, and those people are still much faster than you, which shows that the martial arts of those people are not low, not to mention the masked people who appeared at that moment." ”

I agreed, "Yes, the masked man seems to be a big man, and he naturally wants to hide the identity of these people, but who could have done it?" What is its purpose? ”
