Pei Yingjie didn't know that this was Wei Zhongxian, he was a gentleman, he was used to running rampant in Huguang, and his temper was quite violent, so he replied immediately: "Do you need to take care of it?" I've got something important, get out of the way! ”

Speaking like this is already his most polite remark, for no other reason, mainly because there are too many people on the other side.

"Oh, monkey cub! That's a cross! What's the big deal? Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh when he met someone who dared to talk to him like this since he was the commander of Dongchang.

"I came to Huguang to go to Beijing to catch the exam, if I can't enter the exam room late, won't I be delayed in the top three?" Pei Yingjie said unashamedly. Dare to say that, this kid also has a dependence, he has always relied on cheating to take exams, and this time is no exception. In addition to Liu Banxian in the capital, there are many great immortals and gods who are selling exam questions, and Pei Yingjie is of course not stingy with money in order to seek fame. After buying the exam questions, I paid someone to help answer them, and now the cheat sheet is hidden in the compartment of the boot under my feet.

"You know you're going to be in the top three?" Wei Zhongxian laughed louder, as a eunuch with a pen, he naturally knew how difficult the imperial examination was, and how easy it was to get the top three, not only to have real talent and learning, but also to have a certain amount of luck.

"Hah! I'm not sure who's going to be here! Pei Yingjie said with a grin.

"Now that the exam room is closed, you can't get in!" Wei Zhongxian said deliberately.

"Won't I slam the door if I can't get in?" This Pei Yingjie is still acting upright.

"Hahahaha......" Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing. went to smash the door of the Gongyuan, it was the first time in his life that he had heard that he had to be beaten up after smashing. But after thinking about it, "This kid is so ashamed, does he have real talent and real learning?" "Don't look at Grandpa Wei's cultural level is not very high, but he still loves talents. Then he said, "Come on! Take me a piece and send him to the exam room. "Wei Zhongxian wants to see how his knowledge is. If it works, it's not bad to take it for your own use.

"Yes, Governor." A cronie said yes, stepped forward and said, "You're lucky, come with me." ”

*************************************************

After a while, the two came to the gate of the tribute courtyard. Now that the gate of the Gongyuan has been closed, Fanzi stepped forward to "pop" and slammed the door several times.

After a while, one of the soldiers opened the door and shouted very unhappily: "What smash, don't you know what this place is?" Looking for death? ”

"Who the are you looking for death!" Fanzi saw that the other party was quite horizontal, and his performance was even more horizontal, he raised his hand and slapped him, then took out the Dongchang waist card, and shouted: "Do you know this!" ”

The janitor Ding was slapped inexplicably, and was about to shout loudly, but he saw the waist card raised by Fanzi. When he looked at the inscription on it, he was startled and said tremblingly: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he still hopes that the adult will atone for ......his sins."

In the whole Yanjing City, who doesn't know that offending Dongchang is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with one foot. Na Fanzi was accustomed to the performance of the soldiers, and shouted: "Who is the chief examiner of your subject? ”

"It's Lord Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of Rites." The soldier replied truthfully.

Dongchang Fanzi knows almost everything about the big and small things in the Jingshi, and the main examiner of this subject is Sun Shenxing, and he also knows it, so he just asked casually. But he didn't dare to find Sun Shenxing, he was a member of the Donglin Party, and he usually didn't even give Wei's father-in-law face, not to mention that you were an errand runner. So he asked, "Who is the deputy examiner?" ”

"The deputy chief examiner is Lord Lang Wang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Jiuhai, the priest of the country." The soldier replied cautiously.

As soon as the fan was summed up, the Guozi priest Jiu Haimo was quite upright, and there was no certainty in going to him, only the relationship between Wang Chuanxiao, the left servant, and the governor were relatively close. He said, "Invite Lord Wang out." ”

"Yes, yes......" The soldier agreed, and hurriedly ran in.

The three principal and deputy examiners all live in the Gongyuan during the examination, and in the evening, they also have their own duty rooms. The soldiers found Wang Chuanxiao and told him about the visit of Dongchang Fanzi, and Wang Chuanxiao immediately ran out to greet him.

Fanzi saw the ceremony, took out Wei Zhongxian's name card, handed it to Wang Chuanxiao, and said: "This is the film of the governor, and the governor ordered that he should be sent in to participate in the examination." This man claimed to be a talented person, and the Governor wanted to see if he really had this ability. ”

"Yes, yes......" Wang Chuanxiao agreed, glanced at Pei Yingjie behind Fanzi, and asked, "Can you bring the local document approval and come to the Gongyuan to mark your arrival?" This document is equivalent to a local certificate and an admission ticket. asked him if he reported to the Tribute Academy, and it was also said that there were so many people in the world, and the country didn't know how many people would come to take the exam this year, so they had to go to the Tribute Academy in advance to indicate that they could arrange the examination shed in advance.

"Student Pei Yingjie, it has been named, this is the ...... of the text approval" Pei Yingjie hurriedly took out the document approval and stepped forward to submit it.

Wang Chuanxiao took the text and looked at it, and said, "Come in with me." After that, he said a few words politely to Fanzi and led Pei Yingjie to the tribute courtyard.

The examination shed of the Gongyuan is divided by head, although Pei Yingjie did not come during the day, the examination shed has already been set up in advance. Wang Chuanxiao arranged for him to go in, and without saying much, he returned to the duty room by himself.

After going back, this guy thought about it in a hurry, "This person was sent by Father-in-law Wei, and he has a very shallow relationship with his father-in-law, and he also said that he is a first-class talent. As for getting into the top three, that's not what I'm talking about, it depends on the palace exam. Thinking about it, at that time, Gonggong Wei would definitely secretly support him, and he didn't need me to worry about it. Just do your part. ”

And when Pei Yingjie entered the examination booth, as soon as the outside door was locked, he became busy. Take off your boots, open the dark layer, and take out the cheat sheet that you have prepared long ago. But when he was about to copy it, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that the exam questions in this section were not at all the same as the exam questions he bought, they were simply two subjects.

Seeing this, Pei Yingjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a mistake to destroy businessmen.

But now that the matter is coming, I can't hand in the blank papers, and in desperation, I still copy the prepared cheat sheet as it is.

A few days later, the exam is over, and the examiners are handed over to the three examiners, and then they are assigned to a group of examiners for marking and review. Wang Chuanxiao naturally also got a lot of papers.

Wang Chuanxiao slowly reviewed, in the evening, approved a volume, this volume is gorgeous, the text is beautiful, an eight-strand text is done is flat and stable, sprinkled, and has everyone's demeanor. Wang Chuanxiao looked at it, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, this person must be the top talent in today's department.

Subsequently, Wang Chuanxiao couldn't help but think of Pei Yingjie, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid doesn't know how to do in the test?" In case I don't get it when I try, let me talk to Wei Gong on behalf of the bus. ”

At this time, it was already dinner time, and the examiners in the room went out to eat one after another, leaving only Wang Chuanxiao and an examiner surnamed Lu. Suddenly, I only heard the examiner surnamed Lu scolding: "Which bullshit candidate wrote this." ”

Wang Chuanxiao was curious and asked, "Master Lu, what's wrong?" ”

Master Lu said angrily: "I don't know where the candidate is, the answer is that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth." The undergraduate topic is obviously "The Virtue of Ghosts and Gods" in "Chapter 15 of the Mean Right", and this guy can actually answer according to "I say three provinces and my body" in "Analects of Linguistics". ”

"Huh?" Wang Chuanxiao became even more curious, got up and walked over, "Let me see." ”

Master Lu handed the paper to Wang Chuanxiao, Wang Chuanxiao took it, and couldn't help but catch fire, and scolded: "Which blind candidate is this!" I guess I must have bought the exam questions from a scammer on the street, this person really doesn't know how to learn, and this paper is just scrapped! With that, he tore open the seal covering his name.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Wang Chuanxiao was completely dumbfounded, the brother who did this was none other than Pei Yingjie, who he brought in. Seeing Pei Yingjie's name, Wang Chuanxiao's face was blue and white. His expression changed, and naturally he couldn't escape Lord Lu's eyes, and Lord Lu asked, "Lord Wang, do you know this candidate?" ”

"How could I know such a scoundrel!" Wang Chuanxiao scolded, then tore the exam paper to shreds, and said: "This kind of paper, after reading it, it is simply dirty eyes." ”

After that, he threw the torn roll into the paper basket, but the small piece of paper with Pei Yingjie's name was still hidden in Wang Chuanxiao's hand, and Lord Lu didn't pay attention. The paper basket is specially designed to hold some nonsense waste rolls, like the rolls in front of you, and it is understandable to tear them up and throw them away. Lord Lu naturally didn't doubt it.

Late at night, all the examiners went back to the duty room to sleep, and Wang Chuanxiao began to get busy. He took out the volume that he thought he could be Zhonghuiyuan, changed the pavilion style and copied it, wrote the name on it as Pei Yingjie, sealed the name, and reinserted it into the file. As for the owner of the exam paper, he just glanced at the name - Yang Yishan.

"Boy, I'm sorry, you're so talented, I hope you can go to high school." Wang Chuanxiao folded Yang Yishan's original scroll and carefully put it into his arms.

However, Wang Chuanxiao was not the only one who was busy at night in the Gongyuan, in the duty room of the chief examiner Sun Shenxing, there were two examiners who were busy marking the papers. The method of marking these two is very different, not to read the content of the paper at all, but to find something on the paper. Take a look at the opening and ending and then divide into categories. Such grading, of course, is fast, and it didn't take long for more than 30 test papers to stand out.

Sun Shenxing, who was sitting at the top, saw that the two of them were done, so he said, "How about it, our people have all been singled out?" ”

"Lord Hui, there are a total of thirty-three people here, and I heard from the guild hall that there are sixty-one people who are taking the exam this year." An examiner said.

"That's on someone else's side, it doesn't matter, the day after tomorrow will be passed on, just remember to pick people out. Our people don't have to be too public, Huiyuan and the top ten will be given to those who have real talent and real learning, and the time to really look at the ability is the palace test, and it is not too late to use any real chapters at that time. But we also have to remember that none of our people can fall off the list, and if you get a tribute, even if you don't do well in the palace exam, you can also fall into the same jinshi after the exam. ”

The Donglin Party also has a tacit understanding, for them, the "non-my race" will have different hearts, since they are in charge of the main examination, then the people in the same way naturally have to support more. All scholars who come out of Donglin Academy must be taken care of.

Everything was done unconsciously, and on the day of the release of the list, Pei Yingjie was in high school, and all the fellow people who were promoted by Sun Shenxing also won the tribute, and waited for a few days to participate in the palace examination ranking. And Yang Yishan, of course, is named Sun Shan.

****************************************************

On the day of the trial release, some people were happy and some were worried, but these had nothing to do with Yue Su and others. That night, Li Zhong proposed to invite everyone to drink.

Li Zhong has been living in Shuntian Mansion since he was unhappy in the restaurant, he and Jin Chan are brothers, and Yin Zhu is a friend who grew up since childhood.

Everyone once asked why Li Zhong was not properly protected and ran to the capital, Li Zhong was really silent and had tears in his eyes, and he remembered the past in his heart.

It turned out that he had done a good job in this place, and a friend on the rivers and lakes came to him and said that he had opened a tiger dart game and wanted to ask him to go out of the mountain to help. Originally, Li Zhong had many friends on the Green Forest Road, and with him coming forward, he could win over many people. Li Zhong couldn't help it, so he had to quit his errand as a local security officer, went to the Jiangxi Dart Bureau to help, and became a deputy general dart leader. A year ago, he received a heavy dart of 50,000 taels of silver, because the number was too large, Li Zhong personally went out and took 20 dart masters and 20 executioners to Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Who knew that when they arrived in Henan, they were robbed by a group of people, the other party was numerous, and there were many good players, Li Zhong and them, together with dozens of coachmen, were killed to the ground, and Li Zhong and a few good kung fu dart masters escaped by luck and survived.

After this battle, the Tiger Dart Game suffered heavy losses, because the owner was compensated for the loss, and the entire Dart Game was sold and lost. And Li Zhong was completely unemployed. I wanted to go back to Mengshan County, but I didn't have that face, and I thought that I had a few friends here in Yanjing, so I went all the way north and came to defect. It was said that he had just entered Beijing, and he wanted to have a meal in the restaurant and visit his friends again, but who knew that when he encountered this incident, he also ran into Jin Chan and them.

Yue Su is also a person who loves talents, so he made a statement to keep him that night, so Li Zhong lived in Shuntian Mansion and temporarily became Yue Su's personal entourage.

Li Zhong is a bold person, and he always eats here in Yuesu, and he is also a little embarrassed, so this night, he must be the east and forcibly drag everyone outside for a meal.
