Chapter 3 Official Investigation

After looking inside, there was another cyclone in the Wen Palace, which was the same size as the previous [Siping and Bastable], with a diameter of about an inch.

According to Qin Mo's inherited memories, the air flow vortex was divided into three levels: low, medium, and high, which were distinguished by size, with one inch being low, three inches being intermediate, and one foot being high.

As a local in body, but he is definitely a foreigner in his heart, he doesn't know what the nascent cyclone represents, but judging from the handwriting on the stone slab, it should be one of the [Small Outcrops] or [Little Dew Edge].

If you go to the gentleman in the public school, you will get the answer, but he is not going to do it, there has been a [Four Levels and Eight Stability] vortex in the morning, and there will be another one after a while, and it is inevitable that people will be jealous.

As a person who has just begun to understand the world, calmness is far more important than publicity.

With three cyclones, the chances of passing the exam are much greater.

But even so, no one dares to guarantee that they will pass the county exam, because the content of each exam is different, and the acceptance rate is about ten to one.

Time passed quickly, and by the afternoon of the third day, thirty-four students had gathered at the town public school on time and went to the county seat of Xiayi in six carriages.

Muyang Town belongs to Xiayi County, Nanjing Mansion was originally called Songzhou, Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe before the body, once served as the envoy of Songzhou Jiedu, plus this place is the birthplace of the surname Zhao, as early as more than 100 years ago, Song Zhenzong first renamed Songzhou Yingtianfu, seven years later directly upgraded to Nanjing, as the capital of Tokyo Bianliang.

Xiayi County has been stained with the light of Nanjing's promotion, and has been promoted from the most ordinary Xia County to Chi County.

Muyang Town is only 60 miles away from the county seat, the convoy arrived at the inn in the evening, after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms, or directly rested, or seized the time to practice calligraphy.

Qin Mo took out his study utensils and stood in front of the table facing the window, ready to start practicing calligraphy.

At this time, the voice of two people talking sounded in the room opposite the corridor: "Have you heard, the several killings a few days ago were because of the arrival of the Holy Dao Star. ”

"Doesn't that mean that the Star of the Holy Dao dared to come into the world, and was killed by thieves?"

"Yes, the Star of the Holy Dao, Wenqu Xing, and Wuqu Xing are called the three major gods, and they finally came to us here, and they will definitely be able to become a capable person in the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty in the future, it's a pity. ”

"Who is so cruel that he refuses to let go even a baby child, is it out of jealousy, or is it a conspiracy of the enemy country?"

"It's all possible, it's too early to tell. ”

Qin Mo frowned slightly when he heard this, and when he was having dinner, he heard the diners talking about this matter.

He held the brush and kept his previous movements, thinking to himself if he was the legendary Star of the Holy Path?

Because there was a star named the Holy Dao in his palace, with doubts, he tossed and turned this night and couldn't sleep for a long time.

The next morning, he led the students to the examination room.

Thousands of people gathered outside the gate of the examination room, and after a special person searched their bodies, they made sure that there were no prohibited items on the candidates before they were released into the gate.

In the Wendao County Examination Examination, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were carried out in different examination rooms, and Qin Mo followed everyone to the calligraphy examination room.

More than 200 candidates came to the courtyard in the north, lined up in six horizontal lines, and the examiner walked in with five students from the county, holding a roster and starting to roll call.

Candidates who call their names need to respond, and the corresponding students will guarantee the candidates' innocence and that there is no substitute test or something that violates the rules of the examination room.

If there is no student as a guarantee, the candidate will not be able to take the examination, and the candidate will be convicted of trespassing in the examination room and will be served in prison.

The examiners named them one by one, and soon it was the turn of the candidates from Muyang Town Public School.

"Li Cheng!"

"Student Li Cheng, here!"

"Candidate Li Cheng confirmed that it was correct, and Song Xi was insured. ”

The public school came forward to contact the students and asked them to come forward to provide insurance for the candidates of the school, but in fact, the candidates and the students did not know each other.

"Qin Mo!"

"Student Qin Mo, here. Qin Mo responded angrily.

However, none of the five students responded, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Qin Mo looked up at Song Xi, according to the arrangement, the thirty-four candidates of Muyang Town Public School were all guaranteed by him, but he made a look that he had nothing to do with himself.

The examiner raised his head and asked, "Song Xi, isn't this person your guarantee?"

Song Xi was in his early twenties, he was wearing a Xiucai suit, a Dongpo scarf on his head, his hands were behind his back, his face was proud of being a young man, his eyes were flickering, he shook his head and said: "This person's origin is unknown, his background is unclear, and he can't be guaranteed by his own life." ”

Qin Mo's face changed greatly, and the inherited memory told him that there must be an article, this guy named Song Xi was a distant relative of Qin Yue.

The examiner said angrily: "Since there is a problem with his identity, blast him out for me and bring him to the public for three days!"

This is a very heavy criminal law, it will be recorded, and don't even think about taking the county examination in the future, which is equivalent to cutting off a person's road to the cultural and Taoist imperial examination.

Two officials dressed in soap-colored coats walked over, carrying thirty pounds of cypress flail in their hands.

Such a heavy wooden flail is worn around the neck, and it can crush a person's collarbone in less than three days, resulting in lifelong disability.

"Slowly, the student is innocent and there is no stain. Qin Mo said word by word: "The student asks for an official investigation!"

As soon as the last four words came out, everyone, including the examiner, was taken aback.

Official investigation refers to a way for candidates to ask local parents to use the official seal to open the power of the Holy Path and make a fair judgment when they are suspected.

Although this method is very fair, there is a fatal flaw, even if the candidate's life experience is not a problem, because of defects in personality, personality, etc., he will also be judged to fail the official investigation, and then the Wen Palace will be shattered and he will lose his qualification to be a child.

Nine out of ten people who apply for official investigation will end up with more than they can lose.

Therefore, no one will ask the official to investigate unless it is absolutely necessary, even if it is framed, it is a pity to lose the qualification for the exam, but at least it can keep the identity of Mengtong.

The corners of Song Xi's mouth rose, and the day before yesterday, his cousin Qin Yue came to visit and offered him a generous gift, asking him to use a little trick to make Qin Mo lose his qualification for the exam.

The examiner looked directly into Qin Mo's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Candidate Qin Mo, do you really ask for an official investigation?"

"That's right!" Qin Mo said categorically.

The examiner nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "Lord Qiyu County, Qin Mo, a calligraphy candidate, asks for an official investigation!"

At this moment, the crisp sound of copper bells sounded in the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on a stone road.

A luxurious carriage driven by two horses appeared in the eastern sky, and in the carriage sat a middle-aged man with a square face, wearing an official uniform from the sixth grade, wearing a black gauze hat, and a majestic expression.

The person who came was the county order Xu Hao, and generally the county orders of Chixian County were all positive seven grades, but because he was an official in the capacity of a regular official, his literary rank was higher than that of the seventh grade, and he was condescended to the position of the county order from the sixth grade.

It is precisely because he has a common literary position that he is qualified to ride the double horse Feiyu, and you must know that the county order of Zhengqipin can only take a four-person official sedan chair.

Feiyu uses Wenli to control it, and can travel at a very fast speed in the air, which is several times that of a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage remained very smooth and descended slowly from the air to the ground.

"Humble to meet the county lord. The examiner hurriedly saluted, and the candidates also bowed to the county order together: "Students meet the county lord." ”

Xu Hao waved his hand, walked straight to Qin Mo, and said, "Are you going to ask for an official investigation?"

"Song Xi slandered the student with an unknown origin and an unclear background, and wanted to cut off my path of literature and Taoism, but the student was not convinced and asked the official to investigate!"

Young people can be so neither humble nor arrogant, it is rare in a place like the county seat, Xu Hao's first impression of him was very good, he turned his head to look at Song Xi, and said, "You are a student?"

Song Xi put away his previous pride, and humbly hugged his fists and said: "Song Xi, meet the county lord." ”

Xu Hao frowned slightly, and said: "Since there is a problem with the Xuan Bao, if the candidate's situation is indeed as you said, his Wen Palace will be shattered, but if it is proved that he has no problem, it is you who have tarnished your reputation and will be deprived of the title of Xuan Sheng. ”

"Students are willing to gamble on their jobs. Song Xi put on a straight face, he didn't think he would lose.

Qin Mo's confidence came from the Star of the Holy Dao, and he said loudly: "No matter what the result is, the students will gladly accept it. ”

"Okay, then let's start!" Xu Hao flipped his palm, and an official seal with a beast button appeared in his palm, and he entered the official seal through his palm.

The official seal emitted a blue-white light, instantly enveloping Qin Mo's body.

Qin Mo behaved very calmly, in fact, he was gambling, betting on whether the star of the Holy Dao was as divine as rumored, although he had not yet integrated into the new environment, he also knew the importance of this exam, if he lost the qualification to participate in the exam, the consequences would be extremely serious.

After a few moments, the light fades until it disappears completely.

Qin Mo maintained his previous standing posture, and the sound of the Wen Palace shattering that Song Xi had been waiting for for a long time did not sound, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Xu Hao put away the official seal and gave the final answer: "There is no problem with the identity of candidate Qin Mo, you can take the exam." ”

Qin Mo let out a sigh of relief, the bet was won!

Song Xi was dumbfounded, didn't he say that the success rate was very low, why could a little-known kid pass smoothly?

Xu Hao glanced at him with disdain, as a student who shouldered the responsibility of guaranteeing the candidates for the county examination, but denied the innocence of the candidates in public, such a belly is not enough to say that he is a student, even if he is an ordinary talent.

"This official announced that Song Xi's title of Disheng would be removed and he would be deprived of his qualification to be re-made as Disheng. He said.

The examiner turned his head to look at Song Xi, who was stunned on the spot, and said in a cold tone: "Song Xi, this is not a place where ordinary shows can stay, leave quickly!"

Song Xi regretted it, in order to deal with a small candidate, he actually lost his qualifications, you must know that in order to get this name, the elders of the family saved money and donated two-thirds of their assets to the county Wendao College, and finally got their wish.

Looking at his lonely figure, Qin Mo sneered on his face, this is called self-destruction if you do too much injustice.

Xu Hao glanced at Qin Mo, since he was able to pass the official investigation, it showed that this son was a loyal and reliable person, and his impression of him deepened again.

After the examiner got Xu Hao's approval, he continued the unfinished roll call, and then walked the candidates into the examination room, and the county examination officially kicked off.
