Young master, young master! Young Master Jiang is back! ”

Just when everyone was anxious outside the Gongyuan, Jiangzhou took a small sedan chair, which was carried over by the sedan chair driver of the prefect's yamen.

Lifting the sedan curtain, he got off the sedan chair a little weakly, his steps were vain, and his face was pale.

Qiao Rong immediately went to help, and said eagerly: "What's the matter, is it possible to return the punishment, and the punishment is not up to the sergeant, this prefect Yu Youlong is dizzy?" ”

Jiang Zhou waved his hand, his lips were dry and white, and he said hoarsely: "I'm fine, just find a place to rest, but I'm a little tired......

Luo Shi immediately said: "It's good for people to come back, let's go back to the hall first, let him rest for a while and then talk slowly!" ”

"Good!"

*

It was dark.

On the way back to the guild hall, Jiang Zhou squinted for a while, and when he arrived at the guild hall, his spirit was slightly better.

After drinking three bowls of tea, Jiang Zhou raised his eyes, swept the people around him, and said unhurriedly: "There is still a test tomorrow, what are you doing around me, hurry up and eat and rest."

Luo Shi was busy in the stove room, came in with plain noodles, rested on the table and said:

"They have eaten, everyone cares about you, I will see you come out with the examiner outside the gate of Gongyuan in the morning, I shouldn't talk to you, I am in a hurry!"

He glanced at her and smiled:

"I'm worried about you, but the situation was urgent, I don't dare to guarantee that I have the certainty of retreating, I don't dare to burden you, it's better to pretend not to know"

Luo Shi handed him the dishes and chopsticks: "Let's eat a little first, you are so weak, we all thought that you were tortured and questioned."

Jiang Zhou smiled: "It was I who took the initiative to report and ask for the suspension of the exam, why do you still need to be tortured?" ”

"So, what the hell is going on?"

Hearing Luo Shi's question, Qiao Rong also nodded violently, and Qi Qi turned his gaze to Jiang Zhou.

"Lord Yu of the prefect acts according to the law, if I can't prove that the exam questions are leaked, then the exam will have to continue" Jiang Zhou paused, and said helplessly: "So it took me four hours to write down all the chapters on that booklet."

Now it was Luo Shi's turn to be surprised, he, he just took a look!

Qiao Rong was very embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "What about me, what about me in the inkstone...... You took it too? ”

Jiang Zhou chuckled and nodded, without a trace of contempt and contempt: "I'm afraid that your mistake will ruin your future, and it will be impossible to dissuade you from bringing an inkstone, so I can only help you take out the manuscript to prevent future troubles."

"So, you just write down the full text silently, and then ask Lord Yu to take the copy you put in the guild hall, and compare the two to prove that the exam questions have been leaked, and the gunman has already answered the questions, and then sell the entire manuscript of the article?"

Listening to Luo Shi asking on the side, Jiang Zhou said indifferently:

"Yes, word for word, so Yu Youlong believed, postponed the exam, and now the Xuezheng Yamen must be busy, to re-issue the questions, reprint the exam papers, and I don't know if it will be too late tomorrow"

Luo Shi almost knelt down for him, it turned out that there were ten lines at a glance, and there were really people who never forgot it?

Huang Laoxi's wife deceived Zhou Botong into the Nine Yin True Scripture, and she also wrote it down in shorthand, so that she could write it silently, but this kind of ability is afraid that it will take a lot of energy, otherwise she would not be able to write it silently for the second time, and the oil will run out and the lamp will dry up, and the person will die......

Looking at Jiangzhou's state at that time, Luo Shi was worried about whether he could cope with tomorrow's exam.

Compared to Luo Shi's concern about Jiangzhou's physical condition, the other people's concerns are different - they are indignant and spurn the people who sell exam questions! They think that this is an insult to the learning of the saints and the source of the evil of usurping the country!

Ji Song was arrogant, he slapped the table and said angrily:

"Isn't this a matter of being investigated? Could it be that the exam questions that came out tonight must be fair and no longer leaked? ”

Qiao Cheng nodded:

"Heh, I'll give up the exam tomorrow, I'll invite the God of Wealth of the City God Temple to the Tribute Courtyard, what a saint's image, it's not as good as the grandfather of Kong Fang!"

Jiang Zhou's eyes turned cold, and he admonished: "Yu Youlong promised me that after the exam, I will thoroughly investigate the leaking case, do you know who the spearhead is pointing at now?" If you don't know the depths, you don't have to lose your future! ”

Ji Song said disdainfully: "No matter who it is, all the students in the world will never let go of such shameless people!" ”

Luo Shi is an outsider, a little calmer than them, she made a round and said:

"You study hard in the cold window, just for the right path of your career, why should you sacrifice for a senseless struggle? The wind and bones are easy to break, and the strong man breaks his wrist, all of which have to be used at critical moments, and you don't even know the enemy now, what is the use of carrying the God of Wealth? ”

Ji Song flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Don't talk about big things with women"

Luo Shi'er also came up, and pushed back mercilessly: "Women know how to endure for a while, but you are a big man who is confused, where have you read the books!" ”

Ji Song gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, but he couldn't refute Luo Shi, and while he was ashamed, he fled and went back to his room to rest.

Most of the rest of the people dispersed, and for a while, Luo Xi and Jiang Zhou were left in the kung fu teahouse.

"Do you know who leaked the leak is?" Rashi asked.

Jiang Zhou glanced at Luo Shi, smiled silently, and nodded:

"I asked Yu Youlong to come up with two exam questions, both of which are taken from the four books, which can be punctuated and teased in different places, different sentences, and different meanings, one is published normally, and the other is leaked to Dongfang Tan's henchmen who are planted in the school and political yamen."

Luo Shi's eyes lit up, and he followed his words: "Those candidates who buy questions will only glance at the questions, and the text content is consistent with the test questions they bought, so they will not delve into the punctuation and break sentences, and happily write the prepared articles silently, and they will fall into your trap. ”

Jiang Zhou nodded appreciatively: "That's right"

Is it really Dongfang Sandalwood? If it was him, then his power was so terrifying, how could a prefect who was promoted to a county be able to help him?

As if seeing Luo Shi's worries, Jiangzhou was relieved:

"The rest of the matter, it's not for you and me to worry about, since Dongfang Tan has taken the position of the garrison general, then Yu Youlong of the prefect's yamen is by no means an accidental arrangement, I think the Liang family's forces in the secret of Tongzhou City will help him"

Hearing the words of the Liang family, it was inevitable to think of Uncle Liang, her heart was astringent and painful, and she lowered her eyes and said lightly:

"Then you should rest early, I will stew some ginseng soup tomorrow to replenish your essence, write silently today, it must be very hard"

Jiang Zhou smiled gratefully, his eyes were calm and waveless, and the emotions that were floating and sinking, he hid them very well:

"Okay, thank you"

*

The next day, there was a tired atmosphere outside the Gongyuan. After yesterday's events, candidates will inevitably be impetuous, and they will have a lot of ideas.

And today's inventory of entrainment manuscripts is more strict, and everyone complains that it is not enough to strip clothes, and they simply have to use a steel brush to put a layer of leather brush down before giving up - indeed a few entrainment cheaters were found, and one of them copied the small characters of the fly's head on the inner thigh, in a vain attempt to cover it with a large pants, and was ruthlessly caught.

The first exam lasted three days, and by the time all three were finished, everyone was exhausted.

The examination papers were sealed and nailed, and batch after batch were sent to the school government and yamen to wait for the papers.

The seven sons of Qionglin slept in the hall for three days before dragging their tired bodies to the dining room to forage for food with panda eyes.

Luo Shi was prepared early, all of them were medicinal foods that nourished vitality, and after everyone had eaten, they went to the teahouse together to wait for the news of the list.

The teahouse in Jiangzhou is not far from the place where the list is released, and the messenger who reported the news received the ranking from the Xuezheng Yamen in Beicheng, and sang while running, all the way around from Beicheng to Nancheng, and he had to run through the entire Nantou Street to get it.

Therefore, make a pot of tea in the teahouse and wait slowly, if you are lifted, you will be able to hear your name with your own ears.

The café by the window was sold at a high price, and Maodouer had the heart to stop it, but she couldn't stand the menacing scalpers, and she didn't even keep her young master's table.

Jiang Zhou saw that Maodou'er's face was full of shame, and waved his hand: "It's okay, where to sit is not to sit, let's go to the private room."

"But young master, there are people in the private room and the private room......

Luo Shi knocked on the door of Maodou'er's head and teased: "Catch ants and boil oil, bed bugs scrape paint, you are not afraid of wealth, where do you tell your young master to sit?" ”

Mao Dou'er was very wronged, he wrinkled his brows and said: "Young master, it is Xie Yuanlang Dongfang Xun, how dare I not let him in?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? hasn't sung the list yet, where did Xie Yuanlang come from? ”

"Miss Rossy, don't you know better than I do? On that day, the examination questions of the Gongyuan were leaked, but I didn't see the prefect punish the culprit, and the people who bought the questions still bought the questions, which shows the origin behind the people who leaked the questions, and everyone said that this time the first name must be Dongfang Xun! ”

There was another sentence in the back that he was embarrassed to say in his throat, the young master was so bold that he exposed the leakage of the exam questions in public, I am afraid that he will not even be able to make the laurel list, let alone the position of Xie Yuan.

Luo Shi was almost not angry with him, how could there be such a guy with his elbow turned out?

was about to educate him well, when suddenly, a sentence floated out of the private room next to him:

"Of course, too, if you look at the betting list, Jiang Yueyan's name has long been gone, and the only popular one is Brother Dongfang."

Luo Shi turned his head to look and saw two people coming out of the private room, one was an anonymous sour scholar who spoke, and the other was Dongfang Xun on the cusp.

Luo Shi saw Dongfang Xun again, and almost didn't recognize him.

In the past, although he was pedantic and rigid, he was diligent and honest, but now he has unbridled frivolity in his eyes.

He carried a folding fan in his hand, a new brocade gown, spun silk gowns, white bamboo socks, and a pair of black satin double-beam shoes.

Seeing Luo Shi, he arched his fan and said politely: "Long time no see, is the girl okay?" I heard that you are a lifelong partner with an unknown person, Xiaosheng is very sorry, and after a while, the laurel list will be famous, and the girl will regret it later."

Without waiting for Jiangzhou to speak, Luo Shi had already taken the lead:

"What you said is wrong, his surname is Jiang Mingzhou, the word Yueyan, Tongzhou's family, in terms of appearance and knowledge, you are less than one ten-thousandth of him. I believe that the sky has eyes, the school list is fair, who is the winner of the laurel list, I'm afraid you are too happy, right? ”

Dongfang Xun didn't expect that she not only regretted it, but also spoke sharply, and did not give him any face.

The inferiority complex in his bones can't be hidden by any splendor, he was so angry that he shook his sleeves, clicked the name on the betting list, and said hatefully:

"The trend of the times, I am what everyone expects, the woman has long hair and short knowledge, what do you know?"

"Heh, the ranking on the betting list is the trend of the times?" Rassi actually felt a little sympathy for his blind arrogance.

"yes, who's going to joke with real money?"

"Okay, I'll accompany you for this joke!"

After saying that, Luo Shi took out a silver ticket of three hundred taels from his arms, threw it into Maodou'er's hand, and said in a loud voice:

"I bet on the first name of Jiangzhou Zhongjie Yuan, three hundred taels!"

"You!"

Dongfang Xun was so angry that his fingers trembled, he likes to sell his reputation and reputation, he is high, others bet on him to be on the list, he is disdainful on the surface, but he is happy in his heart, how do you know that Luo Shi dares to call him with real money, which makes him not angry!

"Good...... Okay, after a while, the list will be released, and three hundred taels will be lost, and you will cry! ”

Luo Shi smiled and said, "Let's see~"
