The next day's Bianjing City was not peaceful.

Last night, the Imperial City Division dispatched overnight, not only blocking the Tribute Courtyard, but also raiding a number of inns and taking away many scholars.

Combined with all kinds of signs, people with a little insight are speculating whether there was fraud in this township test?

The candidates are also panicking, and they are worried that the results of this township examination may be invalidated, and they will have to take the test again and go through the ordeal of nine days and six nights again.

The most anxious person in his heart is Gu Tingye, he is most familiar with the scholars of Yuzhou, but after a little careful investigation, he knows that the scholars who were taken away are all from Yuzhou.

Moreover, the residences of these scholars were turned upside down, and the guards of the Imperial City Division were guarding the door.

Now that the city has been cheating in the township, and Yuzhou Shizi has also been implicated, which is not a good sign!

However, even if Gu Tingye was anxious, before the situation became clear, he did not act rashly, but just found Sheng Changbai to inquire about the situation.

It's a pity that although Sheng Changbai is an official in the court, the news is not much better than Gu Tingye's, and the two of them can only be anxious at home.

However, the people from the Imperial City Division soon came to the door and not only took Gu Tingye away for questioning, but even Qi Heng and Sheng Changfeng were not spared.

They all have the "Records of Conversations" in their hands.

For a while, the Sheng family, the Duke of Qi, and the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion were all stirred, and even Gu Yankai pulled down his face and asked people everywhere to find out what his son had done.

Fortunately, in the afternoon of the same day, Gu Tingye and the three of them went home, and after that, Guo Jin and other Yuzhou scholars were also released one after another.

Guo Jin and others, who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, came out to see the blue sky outside, quite like a world away, they greedily breathed the fresh air outside, and as soon as they returned home, they fell asleep.

Although the people of the Imperial City Division did not torture them, just one day and one night of high-pressure interrogation was enough to become the dream demon of the life of these powerless scholars.

Anyway, in their lives, they will never want to go back to that dark and cramped cell.

It's horrible!

When Gu Tingye and the three of them returned home, they naturally had to be interrogated by relatives and friends, and everyone knew that everything was because of the "Talking Records".

Thankfully, people have returned.

The frightened Pingning County Lord and Qi Guogong hugged their baby son Qi Heng for a long time, and asked for warmth, it was a big deal to take the test again.

Sheng Hong was also relieved, and told Sheng Changfeng to tell him not to go out and walk around during this time, and to recuperate at home.

As for Gu Tingye, it was natural that he was beaten by Lao Tzu again, ran away again, and returned to his small courtyard to recuperate.

On the day of the release of the list, everything went according to plan, and all kinds of rumors finally lost their vitality.

Candidates who had been worried that they might face a retake finally put their hearts back in their stomachs and went out to look at the results with great anticipation.

Early in the morning, outside the Gongyuan, there was a lot of traffic, and countless people flocked to the front of the wall, waiting for the list to be released.

Guo Jin also came to the bottom of the list early, and many Yuzhou scholars recognized Guo Jin and greeted each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, with the blessing of "Tan Wenlu", they still had a lot of confidence in Jinke, but since they were taken into the cell of the Imperial City Division that night and experienced an aggressive interrogation, this confidence has been completely shattered.

Even if they get out safely in the end, after encountering this kind of change, most people are only depressed and confused in their hearts.

The Imperial City Division just released them, but there was no mention of the results of their disposal, and no one knew what kind of impact this incident would have on their township test results.

Or simply no grades?

Guo Jin stood at the bottom of the list, and countless noisy voices came out around him, which made him more and more irritable in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: If he doesn't win this time, he will return to his hometown with peace of mind and become a teacher in Shenyuan Town......

He stood there blankly, thinking wildly in his mind, as if he was stupid, vaguely as if he saw Gu Tingye standing in the distance and arching his hand towards him, and by the time he came back to his senses and wanted to return the salute, Gu Tingye's figure had long since disappeared.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "The list is here......"

I saw that the Gongyuan finally opened the door, and the scribe carefully held the sealed yellow list, opened the first list, and posted it on the wall.

"I'm in, I'm in!"

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.

More people have stopped breathing, staring at the list that has not yet been posted.

The first is the sub-list, which has little practical significance, and it is not worth being happy to win, and being on the main list is the real lifter.

After the sub-list was posted, it was finally the turn of the main list.

The crowd of people is like a wave, and countless people lead forward.

Two positive lists were posted one after another, and Guo Jin found the names of several acquaintances in them.

Shen Changyu, Zhang Zhijun, Wu Zhang.

These three people are all scholars from Yuzhou, and after coming to Bianjing, everyone often gathers as fellow villagers, so Guo Jin knows them all.

However, I just couldn't find my name.

Guo Jin gradually became disheartened.

He couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Even if there was hope, it was ruthlessly extinguished.

After half a lifetime of hard study, it was a void after all, and now, it's time to accept fate......

It's just that when the last three main lists were posted, Guo Jin couldn't help but look up, starting from the bottom of the list.

No, still no......

Guo Jin's gaze gradually became a lake of tears.

Finally, he saw a familiar name again, Han Ping.

Han Ping is also a native of Mi County, and he studied at the county school with Guo Jin, and the two were quite compatible.

Guo Jin sighed and continued to look up.

Hu Zongxu.

Yuzhou again?

Guo Jin's eyelids couldn't help jumping.

He suddenly realized that there seemed to be too many Yuzhou candidates in this subject.

Could it be that what happened before had no impact on the results of the township examination?

Guo Jin couldn't help but gasp, lifted his spirits, and continued to look all the way up.

Zhu Qian, Tang Xiaoyao, Ren Hongye, Xu Kaiji, Zhang Mengjian, Li Anmin, Lin Lingxu......

There are so many Yuzhou scholars!

Guo Jin was completely stunned.

Eleventh place, Kaifeng Gu Tingye.

……

Sixth place, auspicious charm Qi Heng.

Only the last of the Five Classics is left.

Guo Jin suddenly had an idea in his heart that he thought was incredible.

Fifth place, Kaifeng Sheng Changfeng.

Fourth place, Xinzheng Hucheng.

third place, Yangwu Liu Qin.

second place, Zhongmu Fu Qixian.

Guo Jin held his breath and moved his gaze to the top and most conspicuous position of the Five Classics Leaderboard, only to see that it was written: Mi County, Guo Jin.

The first place on the list, Henan Township tried to solve the yuan, it turned out to be me Guo Jin?

Guo Jin looked at his name on the list, he was completely silent, his whole body lost control, froze in place, and couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Fortunately, the front of the list was already dancing with demons at this time, and Guo Jin's performance was not abrupt.

Many people's attention was attracted by a voice: "Mixian, Xinzheng, if I'm not mistaken, these are all counties under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou, right?" Why is there a few candidates from Yuzhou on the list? ”

Someone finally found out the oddity.

Adding up the number of people in Mi County and Xinzheng, the harvest of Yuzhou's township test is almost comparable to that of Kaifeng Mansion.

Even Xie Yuan is actually from Yuzhou......
