In the hall of the inner hall of the county commander's yamen, the county commander Gongsun Fu and Wen Peng Zhu Yu were correcting the official documents, and they annotated them all day until the sky was white, and there were small officials with palm lamps to light the branch lampstand with six hangs and six arms.

The lantern keeper was very careful, adding tung oil to each lamp, and twisting off the blackened candle with a knife, and then lighting the fire with flint.

The snapping sound was rhythmic, and the flickering lights also woke up Wen Peng Zhu Yu's mind.

"Restless!" Zhu Yu sighed, inserted the carving into the soft paulownia wood, and looked at the door of the inner hall with some stagnant eyes.

This year, there are eighteen people participating in the assessment of the officials, and according to the rules, Su Ang's exception will be put last, but despite this, at this time, it should be Su Ang's turn.

He smiled bitterly, bowed his hand to the head of the case, and sighed: "Lord Shangguan, why are you still in the mood to review the official documents?"

"This order has been tested for apprentices, and the questions and answers of the law are all correct. Gongsun didn't lift his head.

However, at this time, Wen Peng Zhu Wei sighed: "Xia Guan is not worried about Su Jiazi's law questions and answers, when you take the exam for him, Xia Guan is watching from the side." But the lower officials are worried about the fifty-nine practical questions, it is said that the main official Peng Nan Pingze (ze) called the corpse of the prison Peng Lao'er, and the other lower officials do not know, just the hanged woman, Su Ang will not be able to answer correctly. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Fu's hand also trembled.

He knew that this was a case in the winter of last year, which had been characterized as suicide by hanging beams, and the body was retained and was ready for this year's official assessment.

However, the assessment will not give results, and will ask various questions from the circumstances of death, the judgment of the cause of death, and the demeanor of witnesses, and give the wrong situation for the officials to analyze on their own.

In the simplest circumstances of death, it is necessary to write about the surrounding situation, head symptoms, and physical symptoms.

And for a head symptom, you must at least write the thickness of the hemp rope, the binding place, the knotting technique, the size of the top of the head from the eaves, whether the back of the head is against the wall, and the specific length of the tongue spit out.

Therefore, no one has ever been able to answer half of the 59 questions correctly, and even among the alternate officials, there are many who have answered all of them incorrectly.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Fu smiled wryly.

It's not that he doesn't want to help his disciples, but the person in charge of the assessment of the officials is the chief official Peng Nan Pingze, the so-called chief official Peng, the management is the selection and transfer of the officials, after these processes, when the officials are promoted, it is his turn to be responsible for the county order.

Wen Peng Zhu Yu stood up, paced back and forth, suddenly arched his hand, and said to Gongsun Fu: "Qiqi Shangguan, Xiaguan wants to go and see, after all, Su Ang can't be defeated." If he loses the election, it will not only be your face, but also if he is made big by those people in the capital, you can't say that you will be demoted again, and you will be demoted to the position of lower official. ”

"Oh, I'm afraid that this order will rob you of your job?"

was laughed at for no reason, and Wen Peng Zhu Yu's old face was bitter. Of course, he was not afraid of this, but admired Gongsun Fu, and didn't want Gongsun Fu to be demoted again, so he paced a few more times, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and went to the yafang over there.

But at this moment, an official rushed into the hall door and ran quickly with repeated exclamations.

Zhu Yu, who was walking out, almost collided with someone who came, and hurriedly dodged it, and couldn't help but scold: "What are you doing recklessly?"

The voice stopped suddenly, Wen Peng Zhu Yu saw the person clearly, and recognized it as a small official under the main official Peng, and the selection and transfer of the chief official Peng's supervisor was unusually quiet on weekdays, what happened today?

"Congratulations to the county commander, congratulations to Lord Wen Peng, great joy, great joy!"

Ignoring Lord Wen Peng's scolding, the official was full of excitement and said happily: "I said that today, Lord Peng, the chief official, opened the hall to assess the alternate officials, and one person was selected exceptionally, surnamed Su Mingang, who was the leader of the county examination. The presiding officer Peng conducted forty questions about the law, and took eight corpses from Lord Peng to practice nine out of fifty questions. He got all the questions right, and the answers to each question were concise and scratchy, which can be described as a broken sentence and extremely incisive!"

Ninety-nine questions are all right?

Wen Peng Zhu Yu's old face was stupid, and he looked at the county commander Gongsun Fu in amazement.

Gongsun Fu's face was as usual, and he waved his hand and said to the officials: "This order is already known, you go down." After that, he buried himself in the official documents.

Just as Zhu Yu secretly praised Shangguan for 'not being shocked', Gongsun Fu's chest moved, and he laughed sullenly......

There are six steps at the door, indicating that there are officials at the level of 'Peng' in the door.

Chen Zizai, who walked the horse, hid in the inner room, sipping wine leisurely, and the spring breeze and green water outside the window were comfortable.

He looked at the old butler and asked with a smile, "Is the snake girl still waiting in the lobby?"

"Back to the master, it's still there. ”

The old housekeeper had white hair and looked like a kind person, and reminded: "Master Qiqi, the Su family used to be prosperous, but now it is in decline, but there is also a county exam leader who wants to be a official." Our house only owes his family fifty stone polished rice, which is less than twenty gold, so he can't hang the Su family's sister-in-law. ”

"Hang it, of course you have to hang her! Master Ben likes her tight!"

Knocking the flask, Chen Zizi laughed.

He looked to be no more than thirty years old, and he was slender and long, and when he stood up, his eyes looked down like an eagle from above.

The Su family has declined, and he is happy;

If he owes the Su family rice grain, he has to owe it!

I want to take the county exam that year, he and Su Jia Su Er are still classmates, how do you know that Su Er is the leader, he is the second leader and is suppressed; Su Er left Chen'an County, he is still in Chen'an County; Su Er became a lifter and came back, he is still a show talent.

But what does it matter?

Suer is already a wasted person, Suang only started reading the law three days ago, is it easy to pass the exam?

You Sur is abolished, and neither can your third brother of Suer, but I, Chen Zizai, lit sixty-six simmers, and I am a Xiucai who is smelting Wenshan! I also worshipped the master Peng as my father-in-law, and you have one uncle Su Ang left who just didn't stay, what is it worth?

Thinking of this, Chen Zizai stretched out his hand, laughed loudly, 'wine', took the wine jug handed by the old butler, and drank it in a big gulp.

Happy, very happy!

When he was happiest, Su Er dragged his broken body back to Chen'an County, followed by hanging the snake girl who came to ask for debts. And the snake girl's charming face and bumpy figure always made him salivate.

Opening a trace of the window, Chen Zizai peeped at the seductive figure of his sister-in-law in the hall, and only felt a hot lower abdomen, but at this time, a snow-white kite shot through the air, pierced through the window, and manifested a line of snow-white characters in front of his eyes:

Su Jiazi, ninety-nine questions are all right!

This is a talent that can only be used by lifting people, Chen Zizai has seen it many times, but this content frightened him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Su Jiazi, Su Ang, ninety-nine questions are all right?

As a talented man, he understands very well what these represent. Ninety-nine officials who are all right are rare in the country, and once they appear, they will be rewarded from the chief official in charge of auditing downwards.

Su Ang is Wen Peng Zhu Yu as a guarantor, and the county commander Gongsun Fu nodded, and the above will also indicate that this has greatly increased the face of the two adults, Su Ang has a bright future in being an official, and even as an official in the future!

Chen Zizi felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, and the hot place suddenly seemed to fall into an ice cave, he threw away the wine jug, bent over and rushed to the hall where he was entertaining.

What are you still doing?

Chen Zizi rushed to Zhong Sister-in-law's side, ensuring all etiquette, and his waist and limbs were arched, like a long hemp shrimp.

"Chen Zizai, you're not very comfortable now, are you?"

Noticing his attitude, above the sky, the beautiful girl who had long known that Chen Zizai had bad intentions for the snake girl smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes were slightly reduced, and she said with some self-pity: "You are jealous of Su Er, and you also underestimate Su Lang, but the slave family myself, don't you also underestimate Su Lang, so that you can't regret it?"

Syllable!

The slender jade hand slapped on his face, and Guangliang felt that his face was hot, and it was also Xia Fei's cheeks.

This is to laugh at Chen Zizai, but he also laughed at himself, and now Su Ang Jiujiu is right, he can be called the first person in Chen'an County, and Guangteng has no future as he has.

The matter has come to this, what is she going to say about Jinshan Beauty?

The only thing he relied on was this beauty, this figure, and Su Ang's stupid infatuation with him before.

"Suang, Sulang. ”

Guangliang muttered twice, and suddenly turned into green smoke and drifted away.

In the past, the deceived man was not a good person, but in an instant, the dream was not true;

The sea is difficult to wash the slaves and hate, how can you talk about Lang being a dream person?

It was really surprising that the weak woman's Guangliang could fly, but Su Ang couldn't see it, at this time he had a smile on his face, his footsteps were loud, and he walked out of the assessment hall step by step.

From the main officer Peng assessment hall to the candidate's hut, a corridor is ninety-nine zhang long, and every time he steps down, a torch is lit when he lands, and the fire lights up the way ahead.

When he stepped out of the corridor, the ninety-nine flames suddenly exploded, and there was a red fire behind him, cheering for the ninety-nine questions!

go without saying

No need to ask,

Just looking at this blazing flame, Ji Ran understood, and understood, this was the signboard that the master had given to Su Ang when the ninety-nine questions were all right. There is not as much pomp and circumstance as when the county examination is the leader, and there are not so many spectators, but this flame is ignited, symbolizing that the officials of Chen'an County are willing to lean over to collect firewood and light the spark.

One person is not prosperous when he collects firewood, and everyone carries firewood and the flame is high.

The officials of Chen'an County are willing to carry firewood to light the fire, and in the raging flames, Su Ang, a new star of officials, will rise!
