Du Jinning wants to use Yao Shuqi, so naturally he can't help but explain the reason for this. She told Zhou Dongping's embarrassment in the two exams and Zhou Dongping's grievances with Guan Lehe.

Yao Shuqi heard that Zhou Dongping repeatedly embarrassed Du Jinning in the examination room, and immediately hated itchy, and asked Du Jinning: "Young master, what are you going to do, just give orders." As long as I can do it, a definition is not to be given. ”

"You are so, so......" Du Jinning leaned closer, lowered his voice and explained the matter.

The more Yao Shuqi listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally bowed respectfully: "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”

"There's no hurry. You find a good person in front of you and lay the groundwork. I heard that the students were going to come during the third exam, and I would wait until the students came. ”

"The villain remembered." Yao Shuqi said.

There are only 300 candidates in the second exam, and the answers to the arithmetic questions are dead, and the master and the disciples can help to correct them, and Zhou Dongping only needs to correct two test poems, so the speed of revising the paper is very fast. On the third day, the list has been posted.

Du Jinning is unsurprisingly the first place again.

Huang Chengming's heart finally relaxed, and said to Du Jinning: "Okay, no matter how dissatisfied he is, the head of this mansion is also yours." ”

The rules of the imperial examination are that the first exam is the most important, and the results of the last exam are only for reference. Du Jinning was the first in the first and second games, and as long as there was no accident in the third game, the head of the government was secure.

"Is the Shosei here?" Du Jinning asked.

Huang Chengming nodded: "I heard that it will be noon." Saying that, he added, "Master Xuezheng Zhao used to be a student of Mr. Qi, and this time he deliberately put Gui Province in the back to inspect it, just to stay here for a while." ”

I see.

Du Jinning couldn't figure it out at first, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province and Guangdong Province are in a straight line, and Lord Zhao patrolled in this order, which was the correct way to go. Why don't you skip Gui Province halfway, but go to Guangdong Province first? It turns out that the reason is here.

"Lord Zhao, but you are the advocate of the Baguwen?" She asked.

She had to find out if Lord Zhao and Zhou Dongping were together. If it was a gang, she wouldn't make it that big. After all, there will be opportunities in the future, and there is no need to risk being discovered and beat Zhou Dongping to death with a stick.

Although Huang Chengming is not from a high background, he stops at making a name for himself, and he still lives in that small place in Lishui County, but he is surrounded by people who are closely related to the court, such as Lehe and Yan Songtao, and this time he led the team to participate in the government examination, so he naturally had to inquire about the affairs of Lord Zhao and Zhou Dongping.

He shook his head and said: "Do you know, in order to avoid the occurrence of cheating, the school administration of the inspection and the prefects of the three provinces presiding over the government examination cannot be in the same political camp, so as to achieve the role of supervision." Otherwise, the prefect will be cheating and the academic government will cover up, and the candidates will have no way to appeal, and the consequences will be very serious. ”

"Then Lord Zhao and Lord Zhou are in the hostile camp?" Du Jinning asked hopefully.

Huang Chengming shook his head again: "Hunan Province is a major province for scientific research, and the inspectors mainly supervise Hunan Province. ”

Du Jinning nodded: Understood.

She stood up: "Sir, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

"Go, with Master Xuezheng here, Zhou Dongping won't embarrass you anymore." Huang Chengming also comforted her.

Du Jinning smiled and saluted.

When she went out, she said to Lu Xiaobei: "You go to the shopkeeper Yao and tell him that you can do things." ”

Lu Xiaobei nodded, watched Du Jinning get into Wang Fulai's car, and went to the bookstore by himself. When it got dark, he came back and said to Du Jinning: "Young master, don't worry, Shopkeeper Yao said that everything is done." After speaking, he said, "He's keeping an eye on the development of the situation, so he won't come to disturb the young master." He asked me to tell the young master that he could rest assured that he would take the exam. ”

Du Jinning nodded: "Okay." ”

Yao Shuqi, Lu Xiaobei, and Qin Laoliu are doing things, and she is very relieved. Probably because they have been at the bottom of the society for a long time, they are very careful in doing this kind of thing, lest others find their heads, so they are very clean from beginning to end. This time the matter is relatively big, she hasn't stopped in the past two days, she has asked about everything in detail, knowing that Yao Shuqi and Lu Xiaobei have laid out very carefully, and they have made several turns to stir up trouble, and no one will know that she is the mastermind, so she is relieved.

She slept peacefully, got up the next day, had dinner and went to the examination room.

In the second exam, a group of people were screened out, and in the third exam, there were 200 people left, and the entrance was more relaxed, and the inspection was not as strict as the first two. The errand officer knew that Du Jinning was the first place in the first two games, so he routinely touched her pocket and let her go.

Although he is the mastermind of the matter, maybe the Zhou Mansion has made trouble now, but Du Jinning is a very calm person, and he can't see anything different from her usual at all, she still talked and laughed with Liang Xiankuan, Fang Shaohua and others, and entered the examination room together.

It is still the same examination room, and it is still the exam number in the middle of the first row, Du Jinning walked in and put down the horizontal board and sat down, looking forward to Zhou Dongping's arrival.

Soon, all the candidates entered the field, and the officers also stood there in their places, according to the usual practice, Zhou Dongping should be in place at this time, but he was not seen for a long time. It was a man in his fifties who led a group of people in. Looking at the color of the official uniform and the pattern of the complement, this is still a third-grade official, and there is no doubt that it should be Lord Zhao.

He came in with a thin rage, and the people who accompanied him were all cautious on their faces. Lord Zhao glanced into the examination room and said to a fat old man beside him: "The imperial examination, a major event in the DPRK and China, there must be no delay." Now that the hour has come, and the old man is here, let's start the exam on time. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official will ask someone to knock on the cloud board." The fat old man thought that he should be a fellow acquaintance of the government office, wiped his sweat when he heard this, and ran out to inform him in person.

After a while, the cloud board sounded, and the shouts of "the exam has started" came and went.

Lord Zhao sat in the position of the chief examiner, ready to wait for the shouting to stop, and then opened his mouth to speak, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, Zhou Dongping ran in quickly, and Li and two officials followed closely behind.

When he entered the door, he saw Lord Zhao who was sitting in the examiner's position looking at him with a cold face, Zhou Dongping's breathing stagnated, and his knees almost softened.

"Zhao, Lord Zhao, Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......" Zhou Dongping wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

In front of the candidates, Lord Zhao had to pull a fig leaf for the court officials if he was angry, so as not to embarrass all the officials with Zhou Dongping. He just waited for the autumn to settle the score.

He said coldly: "Lord Zhou, I know that in addition to scientific research, you are also in charge of many government affairs. As a student politician, it is necessary for me to remind you that no matter how busy the government affairs are, the imperial examination will not be affected. ”
