Chapter 12: Liwei
"Two, dare to ask if our new county Zun Mo is a single name?" Cheng Zhong asked with a little excitement.
Zheng Weihan glanced at Cheng Zhong reproachfully, and when he saw that he was poorly dressed, he snorted rather coldly and did not answer. Chang Lianshun said with a smile: "Exactly." "
The name of the county is not a secret among the children who are taking the exam, Chang Lianshun is a little strange, why does this slightly younger candidate seem to have heard of it for the first time?
It's really him, it's really him!
Cheng Zhong couldn't help but get excited, he still knew something about Hai Rui, this old boy can be said to be honest and famous in history. Now that he is not well-known, and he is a new recruit, if he can do what he likes, maybe he can increase his hope.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened, and there were fewer and fewer Tong Meng in front of Cheng Zhong.
"Cheng Zhong!" Hai Rui shouted.
Cheng Zhong had already waited many times, but he still replied with a little excitement: "Yes-guarantee Cheng Xueyi!" β
After speaking, he looked at the group of people next to him, and sure enough, he heard a slightly hoarse familiar voice: "Cheng Xueyi protects Cheng Zhong!" β
Following the voice, Cheng Zhong saw Cheng Xueyi's thin figure, and he really came.
Seeing Cheng Zhong's eyes, Cheng Xueyi nodded, as if with some encouragement, which made Cheng Zhong's heart warm.
"Huh! There are strange things every year, especially this year, is there no one in Guangfulin City or what's wrong, and let a fool come to participate in the county exam indiscriminately, isn't it a holy place for scholars? Zheng Weihan said with a smile.
His family lives near the left side of Guangfulin City, and he has also heard of Cheng Zhong's stupid name. At this time, when I heard Cheng Zhong's name, I thought it was a duplicate name, but when I heard that the guarantor was Cheng Xueyi, I confirmed it, and I couldn't help laughing.
His words drew a burst of laughter.
Hai Rui glanced at Cheng Zhong, but was surprised that in the face of such an insult, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old child didn't even have the slightest anger.
Cheng Zhong's silence made Zheng Weihan feel like he was punching the air, and he felt quite uncomfortable.
"You are not angry that he insulted you like this?" Hai Rui asked.
"If you go back to the county lord, if the dog bites someone, will the person still have to bite back?" Cheng Zhong bowed slightly and said, I don't know how many times the understatement during this period is better than Zheng Weihan.
In a word, Zheng Weihan's face turned blue and red for a while. was scolded as a dog by Cheng Zhong, a fool, and he would have been furious in ordinary times, but now it was the county lord who was asking, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"That's a good point." Hai Rui nodded, then turned to Zheng Weihan and asked, "What's your name?" β
"If you go back to the county, student Zheng Weihan." Zheng Weihan said.
"You're Zheng Weihan?" Hai Jui seems to have heard the name. This made other candidates somewhat envious.
Cheng Zhong was sighing for him, from the moment he knew that the new county order was Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong knew that this Zheng Weihan, who thought he was going through the back door, was finished.
"Yes, the student isβ" Zheng Weihan was about to reply.
Hai Rui interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Okay." I, a poor county magistrate, can't afford to be your teacher, and you don't want to call yourself a student. β
Zheng Weihan was stunned, what's going on? Originally, he was not admitted to Xiucai, and he couldn't enter the county school, so he really couldn't call the county order a teacher. But Zheng Weihan relied on the fact that he had asked someone to give Hai Rui a gift, and he wanted to be close, so he regarded himself as a student with a shy face.
originally thought that even if Hai Rui would not show obvious closeness, he would not refuse him. But I didn't expect Hai Rui to be so cold, what's going on?
Before he came back to his senses, Hai Rui said again: "Come on, fork out this candidate who roared at the test institute, bribed the examiner, and insulted Sven." "
Immediately, the two test errands rushed over and carried Zheng Weihan out like a wolf.
Haixian Ling cancelled the qualification of a candidate between two sentences, and instantly calmed all the candidates.
"Got the stuff on." Hai Rui said again.
A trial and error placed a very elegant-looking wooden box on the table in front of Hai Rui.
"Open." Hai Rui commanded again.
I didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the box, and suddenly two rows of shiny silver ingots came into everyone's eyes, estimated to be more than one hundred taels.
Hai Rui smiled and said: "The county's annual income is only forty or fifty taels of silver, and for the sake of Xiucai's fame, Zheng Weihan actually sent one hundred and twenty taels of silver." Hehe, I have read the books of sages for so many years! Hai Rui said, and then his tone suddenly changed to stern: "In the future, if anyone dares to do such a dirty thing in this county, it will ruin my innocence, and I will blame this county for turning its face ruthlessly, and it is unpredictable!" β
Cheng Zhong can understand that Hai Rui wants to take the opportunity of the county test to Liwei.
"Speaking of which, I saved his life by doing so."
The candidates were suddenly confused, and they canceled their qualifications for the exam, which was equivalent to cutting off their way out, how could it become a life-saving event?
"Do you understand?" Hai Rui suddenly asked Cheng Zhong.
"Cheng Zhong doesn't understand." Cheng Zhong shook his head and said. In fact, he had already guessed a few points of Hai Rui's thoughts, but at this moment, he still felt that it was better to pretend to be stupid.
Although Hai Rui is only from a human background, and now it is only a small county order, Cheng Zhong knows that although Hai Rui's road ahead is bumpy, the future is limitless, and if he can climb him, it will be equivalent to climbing a big tree.
However, since ancient times, there have been many honest officials, but only a few people such as Hai Rui have gone down in history, and it is absolutely impossible if they do not have considerable skill and scheming. The disqualification of Zheng Weihan, who had just given a gift in public, was a good self-proclaimed publicity! For such a person, if he stalks or is subservient, not only will he not be able to get his wish, but he will make Hai Rui look down on him and it will be counterproductive, so we must pay attention to strategy.
When Hai Rui asked Cheng Zhong this sentence, it was clearly a bit of a school exam, Cheng Zhong's head was hot, and he almost said his thoughts, but fortunately he contained it in time.
You must know that his current age is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and if he is too mature, it will obviously leave a deep impression on Hai Rui, which is not good.
Cheng Zhong's answer was obviously expected by Hai Rui. Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.
"This son is impetuous, and he must be shallow in learning. If you can't get the middle, it's okay, if one day, you really let it go to the gold list high school and enter the official career, you will definitely make enemies everywhere, if you provoke a powerful opponent, I'm afraid you won't understand what happened until you die! In this case, I saved his life. Am I right? "
Hai Rui glanced at Cheng Zhong meaningfully. Cheng Zhong's heart was cold, history said that Hai Rui was as incorruptible as water, and it was even a little excessive, which made Cheng Zhong unconsciously think that Hai Rui was pedantic, stubborn, and tenacious.
But now it seems that this thinking is clearly wrong. Hai Rui is not only not a tendon, but also has eyes like a torch, insight into people's hearts, and can mix in officialdom, and sure enough, none of them are simple roles.
Follow the test to the gate of the test institute, and look from afar, the word "Dragon Gate" is written on the banner of the second gate. After entering the dragon gate, it is officially entered the examination shed. Cheng Zhong found his seat according to the serial number arranged in advance according to the heavenly and earthly branches. The exam papers have been placed on the table, and there is a floating sign pasted on the examination paper, and Cheng Zhong's name is written on the floating lot, and the floating lot must be torn off when the paper is handed in.
Cheng Zhong knew that there was a seal number in the other corner of the examination paper, and he could only open the seal when he was admitted to avoid fraud.
There was no clock, and Cheng Zhong didn't know how long he had been waiting. Suddenly, there was a shout, and the door of the test house closed. Later candidates will not be allowed to re-enter.
A test runner walked in with a lantern in his hand, and a white slip with big black letters written on it was the exam question. Candles are lit in the lanterns, which can be seen clearly from a distance. The lantern bearer holds the lantern high and walks back and forth several times on the corridor between the examination booths so that the candidates do not read the questions incorrectly.
Seeing the exam questions, Cheng Zhong knew that his opportunity had come.
