Busy preparing for the palace exam, before I knew it, a month had passed, and the August temple exam was coming.

Xie Shiyun received the list of reference personnel in advance, she didn't open it first, and ran to find Shen Sijun with her excerpt, she was very confident in the two of them.

Found Shen Sijun in the side hall, Xie Shiyun took a few steps up the steps with the fold and squeezed Xie Wen on one side to the other side, and then sat in the position where Xie Wen was originally sitting, and put the fold on the table solemnly.

The black characters are gilded on a red background, and it looks very solemn.

It's just that Xie Wen can't react a little, why does Xie Shiyun have to squeeze himself aside when he comes? But he was not qualified to resist, so he had to watch the fold from the sidelines.

"The list of palace examiners is out?"

Shen Sijun glanced at the fold and put down the pen in his hand.

Xie Shiyun nodded and looked at Xie Wen again.

"I got this fold for the first time, and I didn't open it myself, and I came to you as soon as I slipped through the smoke, and I didn't feel moved!"

"Moved and moved, open it and take a look."

Xie Wen couldn't stand it a little, compared to listening to Xie Shiyun's chatter, he still preferred to look at the palace examination list.

Xie Shiyun didn't care about this, just opened the excerpt, the number of people in the palace examination was not large, but the excerpt was quite long, with a handwritten edict that he had drawn up before, followed by a list.

Looking from right to left and from top to bottom, Xie Shiyun saw the names of Shen Si and Shen Jun at the top, which was not surprising, after all, the volume was changed by himself.

But the further back Xie Shiyun's face became, and the whole face darkened in the back.

"No Marco."

No Marco? How is it possible, with Ma Ke's point score, he can be promoted to the palace exam, not to mention the July evaluation of character, this is always impossible, but what is the matter without his name?

Shen Sijun was also surprised that he didn't see the name, and he thought about it similar to Xie Shiyun, but he suspected that something was wrong, and he was stopped from below and didn't let him come up.

Without Ma Ke's palace test, it would be meaningless, go through the process again, listen carefully to the answers of eighteen people, eighteen answers to one question, so that Xie Shiyun has a headache when he listens, the more this kind of question is in the front, the better, and the back will be auditory fatigue, which is not conducive to himself.

Originally, there were twenty people, but one person was taking an exam, and one person was in the palace to deal with affairs, so there were only eighteen people left.

After the palace exam, Xie Shiyun decided to go to Lijiang City to see Ma Ke, she was a little worried that she didn't participate in the palace exam this time, and she was afraid that something would happen, and she said that she would see her in the palace exam, and Ma Ke should not miss the appointment.

After explaining to Xie Wen, Shen Sijun and Xie Shiyun went to Lijiang City.

There are seven days of rest after the palace examination, which is enough for the two of them to go to Lijiang City.

They may have been a little abrupt if they hadn't talked to Marco in advance, but they couldn't have said it in advance if they hadn't seen anyone.

After entering the city, the two went straight to Marco's house, stopped in front of the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and knocked on the wooden door.

After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps, but one light and one heavy, which made Xie Shiyun frown, this is not the sound of a normal person walking, if the person who opens the door is Ma Ke......

The door opened, it was Ma Ke, Xie Shiyun subconsciously looked at Ma Ke's legs, which were blocked by clothes, and he couldn't see anything standing here.

Marco didn't expect the two to come back, but he was a little surprised, and then invited the two into the house.

"The temple test...... Don't be angry that I broke my appointment. ”

Ma Ke smiled when he said this, Xie Shiyun heard that it was a wry smile, when Ma Ke was walking just now, Xie Shiyun paid attention to it, and limped, could it be that something happened to his leg?

"Are you, what's wrong?"

Ma Ke was stunned, but he didn't expect Xie Shiyun to ask like this when he saw it.

"No, no."

"And what's going on with your legs?"

Xie Shiyun is not so easy to fool, and she doesn't plan to let Ma Ke go like this, she wants to figure out the situation.

Marco only sighed softly when he saw that he couldn't get back.

"It's really nothing, it's just that it rained heavily two days ago, and when I came home, I accidentally fell off the bridge and rolled down, that's it, and I blame me for not seeing my feet clearly, there was too much moss, and I stepped on it directly."

This kind of reason is okay for others, but it is not okay to deal with Xie Shiyun.

Seeing that Ma Ke insisted on not saying it, Xie Shiyun had no choice, so he couldn't force people to say it, just chatted for a while and left.

When Ma Ke closed the door, the smile on Xie Shiyun's face dissipated, and she felt that things were not so simple.

The biggest reason why Marco just said that he didn't want to drag us down, it must have been something that happened.

"Let's stay in Lijiang City for a while, just a few days, and find out the situation of Ma Ke."

Shen Sijun nodded, it's okay like this, so as not to go back and come back again.

After sending the two away, Marco stared at the door panel for a moment before walking back into the house.

He is not reconciled, but he does not regret or resent.

...... day

Marco was walking down the street, running out of things at home and needing to buy new ones.

Walking on the road, I saw a bunch of people in front of me, pointing at the people in the circle, with more expressions of watching the play on their faces, and some old ladies showed some pity.

Ma Ke felt that things were not very good, and walked to the side of the crowd, and saw that it was indeed a granddaughter who was robbing a person's family, and the granddaughter and the old woman depended on each other, Ma Ke finally couldn't hold back and stood up.

Coming out of the memory, Marco looked at his legs, laughed at himself, and went back to the house.

Ma Ke's matter was investigated, and the secret guard told Shen Sijun the news he had gotten, and Shen Sijun then relayed it to Xie Shiyun.

The secret guard said that at that time, it was because the son of a wealthy man in Lijiang City forcibly seized it, and Ma Ke couldn't see it, and as a result, his leg was broken. The rich man is not called in vain, since he is rich, money can make the ghost grind, that night I found someone to check the news of Ma Ke, the next morning I learned that Ma Ke passed the retest, he didn't want to go out directly to buy gifts, and then entered the money village, after coming out, he went straight to the Lijiang City Management character assessment of the official's house, and gave people a lot of gifts, you and I understand, go to the relationship, and finally Ma Ke fell off the list in terms of character, it is estimated that he didn't look at it, and he directly crossed out his name when he received the money. ”

Xie Shiyun didn't think of this situation, but she didn't dare to think about it, two days ago, she repeatedly emphasized the forbidden things in the morning, and someone dared to turn over some anger all of a sudden, and almost didn't ease up.

Sure enough, there are pests everywhere, there are many everywhere, even the Lijiang City near the capital, maybe there are any in the capital, how can this exam be done fairly.

"That official is also bold, you know, I'm investigating this now, and I dare to break ground under my nose, I really can't notice him."
