During the road test, the fifth watch day entered, and when it came to the township test, before the fourth watch, it was necessary to gather in front of the dragon gate with pen, ink and inkstone and other examination tools.

Whether you can jump over the dragon gate depends on their own abilities and creation.

The entrance door is divided into three gates, the inspector points to the middle door, and the remaining two doors are handled by the rest of the officials.

However, at this time, even if Zhang Panbo's own son comes, he can't come forward casually, after all, there are many people, and the talents who take the exam in a province are gathered here, and it is easy to make trouble.

In order to avoid crowding and confusion, each prefecture came separately to enter the venue. Different from the children's test, the children's test is lit with a tall lamp as a conspicuous indication of the county, while the township test is indicated by a long lamp, and the name of each county is pasted on the long lamp, and the candidates in that county will light the lamp to indicate which county when it is their turn to enter.

In the light and darkness, the mind was raised.

The number of officers and soldiers in front of the Gongyuan was also quite large, and most of the candidates were quiet, and if they spoke, they were whispering.

But there were screams from time to time in front of the dragon gate, and Cui Zhi suddenly remembered what Wei Ming told him about the "revenge, revenge, revenge" plaque in front of the god's face, and the sound of blowing horns and shouting from time to time.

Cui Zhichao asked Wei Ming in a low voice, "Lord Wei, did the howling in front of the Dragon Gate just now all carry a cheat sheet?" ”

The search of the township test is much stricter than the children's test, don't look at the dark sky, but the front of the dragon gate is as bright as day, the people who search the body have a pair of fiery eyes, there was a candidate just now, the insoles were entrained on the reverse side of the cheat sheet, and they were all searched, and the searcher sneered, "One insole is salty and smelly, and the other is clean, are you blinded when I have a nose?!" Pull it down! ”

Wei Ming told Cui Zhi, "It's the person who is entrained, this night, there are more!" ”

"It's so strict, why are so many people risking their lives?!"

Wei Ming smiled, "Because there are more people who can fool the past." ”

This is amazing, after all, ancient times are not modern, there is no special thing for body searches, and there is no camera supervision, but Cui Zhi just doesn't understand, "What is the township test, they don't know, what's the use of cheat sheets?" ”

"They are all people who have pressed the questions, and they have prepared several articles written by others, and if they encounter similar questions, they can make up for them."

Cui Zhi admired, and remembered the time when Wu Tao tried to frame Wei Ming, she turned Wei Ming's examination tools one by one, and reminded Ge Qing that they should turn them over, so as not to make someone bad. After she was busy here, she saw that Yidu County, which was in front of her, was ready, so she went to Yidu County to take a look at the team first.

Meng Zhongting and Wu Li are both from Yidu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, including the Meng family and the Wu family, all of them, and they are much stronger than the Anqiu County team.

Wu Li didn't know where to pick a leaf and chew it in his mouth, Cui Zhi asked, it turned out to be mint, Wu Li said, "I'm sleepy here, Songyan gave it to me." Cui Zhi instructed him not to forget to check the test kits, and squeezed behind Meng Zhongting again.

Meng Zhongting didn't chew the mint leaves, because the child was nervous enough, and there was flickering sweat on his head, Cui Zhi called him and handed him a handkerchief, "Did you hear that there was a cheat sheet in someone's insole?" ”

Meng Zhongting shook his head, and Cui Zhi told him, "...... The investigator is really strange and pitiful, this night has passed, and I don't know how many smelly insoles I smelled! After smelling it, I guess I don't want to eat for three days! ”

Songyan burst out laughing first, and the fifth elder of the Meng family, who was standing in front of Meng Zhongting, also laughed, he only asked Meng Zhongting, "Who is this, it's so fun to talk?!" ”

"It's my sister who is the same as Zhen." Meng Zhongting hurriedly explained, what else did the fifth child of the Meng family ask, the long card light in Yidu County suddenly turned on, and someone greeted in front, "Yidu County, enter the field!" ”

It was too late to speak, Cui Zhi patted Meng Zhongting, "Don't ask about the side things, just do your article, and when you finish the exam, let's eat the pot together!" ”

Before the pot could be eaten in his mouth, Meng Zhongting had already warmed his heart and lungs, and he nodded sharply, "Okay." ”

The people from Yidu County entered the examination room, and Anqiu was almost there, Cui Zhi trotted back to Wei Ming's side, and saw Wei Ming looking at the middle gate, Cui Zhi also looked over, "Peng Jiufei?" ”

Cui Zhi couldn't help muttering, "I look at his unlearned appearance, and I thought he was going to find someone to take the exam for him?" Either someone leaked the question to him, otherwise how did he pass the test? ”

Wei Ming didn't care too much about what Cui Zhi said, but saw that Peng Jiufei standing in front of Zhang Panbo's face, waiting to be searched, he grinned and smiled at Zhang Panbo, Zhang Panbo's expression Wei Ming couldn't see clearly, but quickly nodded to Peng Jiufei.

No wonder Meng Zhongting failed to find Zhang Panbo's blessing, it turned out that Zhang Panbo still wanted to climb the boat of the Peng family.

Wei Ming couldn't help but recall his previous life, after the fall of the Meng family, the Peng family was not much better, Zhang Panbo was affected by the Meng family, but like a tumbler, he was silent for two years and bounced again. Is it the Peng family's hand by his side? Could it be because of this that there are those difficult things in Meng Zhongting?

While thinking about it, the long card light in Anqiu County turned on.

Wei Ming stepped forward and waited for the search, he asked Cui Zhi to go back to sleep, "Be careful, there are many people, don't get separated from Su Ling!" ”

Cui Zhi nodded in response, and Wei Ming followed the team towards the Tribute Courtyard.

Since the last time, he went to Gongyuan Township to test, and after dozens of years, he couldn't tell clearly.

The long card lights alternated between light and dark, and Wei Ming underwent a strict search in front of the east gate, and even his nostrils had to be searched before he was allowed to enter the tribute courtyard.

Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate.

Wei Ming took the Xuanzi No. 20 test, he walked all the way over, and unfortunately found that Peng Jiufei was in the Xuanzi No. 16.

The two of them had taken a photo, and secretly made a move, Peng Jiufei also saw Wei Ming, he squinted, stared at Wei Ming from left to right, and shot a breath of "don't look for trouble" along his eyes to Wei Ming, Wei Ming only couldn't do it, and his face was expressionless.

Peng Jiufei couldn't help jumping a few times in his heart, the more he didn't want people to recognize him, the more he ran into someone who didn't know the details!

He spent nearly a thousand taels of silver to buy a substitute exam, this person must not spoil his business, otherwise......

Peng Jiufei clenched his fists, Wei Ming didn't know what he was thinking.

Wei Ming recalled the rules of the previous exams, nailed the oilcloth to prevent the rain, guarded the twelve grass rolls and the main scrolls, took advantage of the light of the candles, wrote the name, hometown, three generations and other information, and then put away the test papers and started the first job - blowing out the candles and sleeping.

In the end, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and no one could stand the test for a day with this spirit. Therefore, the township examination was officially issued at dawn, and the candidates took the opportunity to make up for a nap, which is a very important thing!
