Chapter VI: Disputes over the Head of the Case

"Lu Ming's song "Yuan Ri" has the talent of Mingzhou? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!"

"If this song "Yuan Ri" really has Mingzhou's talent, then why can't Lu Ming be on the gold list? Could it be that Chief Judge Yan and Luo County's order deceived the saint and didn't let Lu Ming go to high school?"

"In other words, isn't it possible for Luo Xianling to let anyone go to high school as he wants, and also to make anyone fall off the list?", someone said with an ugly face.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't they be able to cover the sky with one hand? This kind of person really deserves to be killed! Damn it!"

"It's just ridiculous! That's impossible! Even if Luo Xianling has great ability, he will never dare to do this!"

"Quiet!"

Yang Xiuyuan's voice was like a bell, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky sounding in the crowd, and the sound of discussion suddenly stopped.

"Don't discuss topics that have nothing to do with the cultural meeting, there is no point!", Yang Xiuyuan said.

"Yes!", everyone had to reply.

Yan Weiqing forcibly calmed down his mood and said slowly: "Scholar Yang, you said that Lu Ming's poem can also be Mingzhou? This sentence is a little appalling, Lu Ming is just a mere scholar, and it is already very good to be able to write one Mingzhou poem, how can he write two Mingzhou poems?"

Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I will never be wrong, this poem is absolutely Mingzhou, if you don't believe it, let Lu Ming write down this poem!"

"Students obey!"

Lu Ming bowed his hand slightly, then picked up the pen to write "Yuan Ri" on the paper, and after writing, a wave of talent immediately came out, gathering but not dispersing.

Now that Lu Ming has obtained a literary position, he also has some talents, and the image of Mingzhou is very obvious.

"Narushu!, it's really Naru!", one of them exclaimed.

"Lu Ming really published two poems of Mingzhou in a row, which ...... If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe it!"

"Haha...... If it is compared to Yan Weiqing's Dafu poems, he is not worth mentioning at all!"

Chen Jun laughed and said: "Yan Weiqing can be the head of the case by writing one or two Dafu poems, and I think this head of the case is not worthy of the name!"

"Chen Jun, you are bold!"

Yan Weiqing slapped the table and said loudly: "The name of my case leader is screened by the counties of the Great Liang Kingdom, and then it can only be obtained by the affirmation of the Holy Court, how do you think it came about? I got it by relying on the Luo County Order? It's really funny! He doesn't have that ability yet!"

Chen Jun sneered and said: "If it weren't for Luo County's order to make Lu Ming fall off the list, would it be your turn to be the head of the case? Do you dare to take out your exam papers and compare them with Lu Ming's exam papers? If you really beat Lu Ming, I will get out of here immediately, if you can't win, you get out, do you dare to make this bet?"

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about!", Yan Weiqing's face turned pale with fright.

Yang Xiuyuan smiled and said: "He is right, I think this year's top case should indeed be re-examined, I will report to the Holy Academy, and re-examine Lu Ming's test papers!"

Lu Ming was immediately overjoyed, and saluted and said, "Thank you for the justice, the students are grateful!"

"In addition, in order to avoid a similar situation, the test papers of all candidates in this county must be re-examined overnight.

Yang Xiuyuan lowered his gaze to Wang Yuanjun again, and snorted coldly: "As the monarch of this county, you serve as a county-level file review official, and you can't get out of it!"

Wang Yuanjun immediately knelt down and said, "The lower official is guilty, please spare your life!"

"The old man knows that although you are the county court, you are oppressed by the Luo County Order and the Yan family, on the surface you are the court king, but in fact, the Yan chief judge has the final say, the old man will spare you, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, if there is a little bit of speculation, be careful to cut off all the doors!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Wang Yuanjun was so frightened that his back was cold, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and at this time, Lu Ming could see that his legs were still shaking uncontrollably, and he felt a burst of amusement.

Yang Xiuyuan continued: "In this literary meeting, Lu Ming won the top spot by fighting all the scholars in this county, do you have any objections?"

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, some looked as usual, some looked angry, and some turned blue with fear.

Although Yang Xiuyuan announced that Lu Ming won the championship, he actually conveyed an important news to everyone, that is, he guaranteed Lu Ming, no matter what the result is, he will be on the gold list of high schools, and compete for the name of Yan Weiqing's case.

"I have no opinion!", Chen Jun said first.

"I didn't!"

"Neither do we!"

Others also said one after another, and at this time, Yan Weiqing's face was already indescribable, and a pair of eyes stared at Lu Ming fiercely, as if countless sharp swords had burst out.

Yan Weiqing clenched his fists and thought to himself: "Lu Ming, I won't just be trampled under your feet and want to take away my case? Hmph! Don't think about it! Tomorrow the gold list will be replayed, and it will also be the day when the holy temple will be opened, and when the time comes, I will take away all your talents, so that you can't open up the literary platform and become a waste scholar with the least talent!"

"Since you all have no opinions, then it's settled!"

Yang Xiuyuan nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said, "This is the end of this cultural exchange, Lu Ming, you can also sit down and enjoy this lunch together!"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he immediately sat down beside Chen Jun, and stood there for a long time, even his legs were about to weaken, but he was just forcibly supported.

The person next to him immediately raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Lu Shusheng for getting a heaven-given position!"

"Lu Poor Sour...... Brother Lu, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I dare to offend in the past, I salute you with this glass of wine, please don't be surprised!"

"Brother Lu Ming, today you are fighting in this county, you will definitely be famous, known far and near, if you fight for the head of Yan Weiqing's case, you will have to take care of a few more brothers!"

Chen Jun snorted coldly when he saw this, he had long been used to seeing these people, although he was disgusted in his heart, he didn't say much.

At this time, Lu Ming had a sad face, rubbed his thighs with both hands, and whispered: "My legs are so sore......"

"Hehe......", the others laughed when they saw this.

The crowd continued to drink and talk freely, and the lively atmosphere was restored.

But Yan Weiqing still kept a straight face, and it was difficult to smile again, even if he could smile, I am afraid it would be very ugly.

After the banquet was over, Lu Ming and Chen Jun swaggered out of the restaurant, and at the same time, the eyes of many people outside shifted to this side, but Lu Ming and Chen Jun turned a blind eye.

Yang Xiuyuan came to the Jiangxian Yamen on a flying horse, and issued three announcements as the king of the State Academy of Literature, the first announcement was that Luo County Ling and Yan presided over the trial to deceive the saints, covered the sky with one hand, and harmed the students of the poor family, and was beheaded in public at the literary meeting.

The second is that Yang Xiuyuan has conveyed the information to the Holy Academy through the official seal of his pocket and has been approved, and all the test papers of all candidates in Jiang County have been re-examined.

The third announcement is that tomorrow morning his student "Han Xiao" will rush to Jiang County to succeed the county commander of the county to preside over tomorrow's temple worship ceremony.

After the announcement was released, Jiang County suddenly set off a storm, some people applauded, some people became very frightened, and the discussion in private was like a stormy wave.

That night, Yang Xiuyuan was supervising the officials in the examination paper room to review the papers, and suddenly his face changed, and he took out his official seal, and a ray of light emerged, becoming a sealed book.

After Yang Xiuyuan read it, his face suddenly sank, this is the thousand-mile biography of Yan Kun, the chief of the capital, which is written very politely on the surface and has no mistakes, but it conveys a message between the lines, asking Yang Xiuyuan to protect Yan Weiqing's head case, otherwise Lu Ming's life will not be guaranteed.

"This Yan Kun, in order to save the face of the Yan family, actually sent a message in person, how can this be good?"

After a long time, Yang Xiuyuan suddenly smiled slightly: "Although Lu Ming is qualified to compete for the head of the case, after all, he is from a poor family, once he wins the first place, I am afraid that the officials under Yan Kun's sect will be eyeing him, no matter what, since they are so pursuing a good reputation, what if they let Yan Weiqing go?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Xiuyuan still replied with a letter of rejection, and after a while, his official seal shook continuously, and dozens of senior officials launched a letter to him.

"Scholar Yang, if Yan Weiqing loses his first name, we can't guarantee the safety of Lu Ming's kid!"

"Scholar Yang, we are also for Lu Ming's good, let an unknown kid win the first place, don't say that we are not convinced, I'm afraid that people from other counties and states are not convinced, right?"

"Let me ask you, Luo County Ling and Yan presiding over the trial deceived the Holy Hearing, do you have any evidence?

Seeing this, Scholar Yang immediately posted Lu Ming's two poems to Liang Guo's literary list, which immediately attracted the attention of many officials, and they commented and praised one after another, making the officials under Yan Kun's sect so angry that they had nothing to say.

Yan Shoufu passed the book thousands of miles again, secretly arguing with each other, and finally persuaded Yang Xiuyuan to keep Yan Weiqing's top case, but the price was to give Lu Ming a false name of "Jiangxian University Talent".

Scholars call themselves "students" in front of their elders, and this "university talent" is the honorific title of others for Lu Ming, not a literary position or an official name.

And Yang Xiuyuan is also a "scholar of Zhenzhou University", which indirectly revealed a message, that is, if anyone dares to move Lu Ming, he has to ask him if he agrees.

With the name of this "university talent", it is equivalent to giving Lu Ming a "talisman", and no one is allowed to touch him at will.

With this name, plus those two poems, Lu Ming can more or less accumulate a little "literary name".

Some officials smiled bitterly: "This old mistake of a university scholar has been committed again, he regards talent as his life, and he is eager to seek talents, and he actually shouts for a kid and Lord Shoufu!"

"Hey, there's no way, who let Lord Shoufu die to save face? Yan Weiqing is a branch of their Great Yan family, if it is rumored that Yan Weiqing's first place is fought for by Lu Ming, his reputation in the court will be reduced!"

"Hmph! Cheap that Lu Ming!", an official shook his head helplessly and sighed.
