"Calm down, calm down, find another way, don't be in a hurry......" Helian Longshan comforted himself, he knew that there was no chance of winning in the essay question, but he still did not want to give up, he was looking for an opportunity to catch up.

When handing in the papers, the old man who checked whether Helian Longshan was cheating looked at Helian Longshan with a strange look, which made him shudder. Helian Longshan also noticed that Fu Chang and Fu Jian's scrolls were neatly stacked on top of each other on the bookcase in the middle, and a charcoal basin was placed in front of the bookcase.

Helian Longshan put his exam papers on top of Fu Chang and Fu Jian, and hurried back to his seat, while a plan gradually formed in his mind.

There is a short break after the first question.

Despite the tea snack, watching others write articles is still a super boring thing, holding a stick of incense for a while, removing the restraints, and just saying a few words can experience the pleasure.

Huang Tai accompanied the emperor, the prime minister, and Qian Muqing to talk happily, as if there was no competition between them at all.

The three old men in the judgment seat also talked to each other, as if it had something to do with the matter of kicking over the charcoal basin.

The two brothers went outside to change their clothes.

No one's attention was paid to the three articles that the three candidates handed over to the judges' bench.

Helian Longshan leaned over the bookcase, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath. When he was young, a burst of light and shadow flickered, and a white screen appeared in his mind. He tried to visualize the three exam papers he had just seen, and a blurry light and shadow immediately appeared on the white screen, and then the image gradually became clearer, which was the exam paper handed in by the Fu Chang brothers and himself.

Helian Longshan's ideological test paper became smaller, and the bookcase and charcoal basin gradually entered the white screen. He thought that a hand appeared on the white screen, and he grabbed the exam paper on the bookcase and threw it into the charcoal basin in front of the bookcase.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" shouted someone else, and the whole hall suddenly went into chaos. Everyone was busy snatching the exam papers out of the carbon basin.

Looking at some of the scattered fragments of exam papers that were salvaged on the bookcase, everyone sighed.

The three old Confucian slammed their chests in remorse, knelt down in front of the emperor, confessed to the death penalty, and were willing to accept the punishment.

"Today is Huang Aiqing's attempt to hire a son-in-law, everything should be decided by him, how can a widow overstep his responsibilities. Fu Jian didn't seem to care too much about it. In his opinion, Fu Chang's victory is a sure thing, his nephew Fu Jian is still young, how can he compare his knowledge and talent to his son, that scar-faced young man, it is not worth mentioning, he is just a martial artist, and he can come to participate in the competition It is quite surprising to the emperor.

"Lord Huang, punish us. It was our negligence that caused this irreparable loss. The three old Confucians said this, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They knew that if the emperor was angry, his head would be gone, and Lord Huang was very unhappy, but he would not take his own life.

"This matter is very strange, how can I blame you all!" Huang Tai comforted the three colleagues.

"Lord Huang, Qian has a sentence that I don't know if to say or not?"

"Lord Qian has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"I don't think it's better to compete with the later projects first, and then make a decision after seeing the results of the competition!" Qian Muqing knew that writing articles was Helian Longshan's weakness, and compared with the Fu Chang brothers, it was almost inevitable that he would lose, and the only hope of winning was to win in the two projects of shooting and endorsement. He had already seen that burning the exam papers was a ghost behind the apprentice's back.

"What Master Qian said is extremely true, if the next two items can be determined to win or lose, what does it matter if there is a score in the essay question!" Huang Tai agreed with Qian Muqing's proposition and asked the emperor and the prime minister, both of whom nodded yes.

The trial continued.

The shooting game begins. With Huang Tai's command, the three servants each walked into the hall with a red lacquer tray and placed it on the long table placed in front of the three juvenile bookcases, on which a copper basin was buckled upside down.

Huang Tai preached the rules of the competition, and the candidates used divination techniques to shoot out the objects in the copper basin, write them on paper, and after handing in the answers, the copper basin was uncovered on the spot and checked, and the one who shot more won the game.

Fu Chang was in a hurry, and laid yarrow on the bookcase, and after the hexagram came out, he drew it on paper, and then wrote the name of the object that was ejected. This is repeated three times, and the answer sheet is handed over to the judges. His behavior was still acting, and Huang An had already told him the names and order of the objects that were shot.

Fu Jian was a little depressed, he wanted to show his talent in the article, and he won the honor in front of the nobles, but who knew that the article he had worked so hard to write was very unexpectedly burned. He wasn't very good at shooting and could only cope with handing in the answers.

Helian Longshan carried the white screen to see the divine skill, sniffed the copper basin with his nose, and the object he shot was clearly displayed on the white screen in his mind. From left to right, the objects under the copper basin are ropes, axes and steamed buns. Helian Longshan wrote down the three objects on a piece of paper and attached them with hexagrams to hide people's eyes, and when he was about to give the answer, he made a mistake in his heart: Even if I shoot all right, I can't guarantee that I win, and I must make sure that the Fu brothers can't shoot all right. Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea and an idea.

Helian Longshan used the white screen to see things, first cut the rope, then divided the steamed buns into two, and then changed the answer to two ropes, an axe and two steamed buns.

Under the auspices of the three old Confucians, the copper basin was uncovered, and the answers of the three candidates were read out one by one.

Helian Longshan's answer accurately describes what the copper basin covers, and the grade is first.

The answer is rope, axe and steamed bun, which is slightly inferior to B.

Fu Jian's answer is that the pen holder, spatula and grain are the farthest away from the real thing, and they are classified as C.

Everyone in the hall was surprised, especially Huang Tai, he couldn't figure out why the rope he put in was cut in two, but the steamed bun was broken into two, it was really unbelievable! But he was inconvenient to tell the truth, so he had to admit the facts, and thought to himself: He would never let Helian Longshan win! He was anxious but helpless.

Fu Chang and Fu Jian were also embarrassed. Fu Chang thought: Old father-in-law, when Huang An leaked the exam questions to him, he regarded Huang Tai as his old father-in-law, and said in his heart, "Old father-in-law, how can you fool me, obviously said that it was a rope, an axe and a steamed bun, why do you still make the tricks that appeared, cut the rope and cut the steamed buns, isn't this tricking me!" At present, there is no result in the article competition, and if the endorsement loses again, it will be really weak.

Fu Jian was able to accept losing to his eldest brother Fu Chang, but when Helian Longshan wanted to win, he was unwilling, and his desire to win burned again, and he mustered up a lot of energy to get good results in endorsement.
