According to the regulations, two days before the exam, the examination room number map will be announced outside the gate of the Gongyuan Academy, so that candidates can know their exam location in advance.

The so-called Gongyuan number house refers to thousands of small cubicles, surrounded by three walls, each room is only three feet wide and four feet deep, which is very narrow.

Each candidate will be assigned to a dormitory, and all candidates will have to sit in their own dormitory to answer questions during the exam.

In the two days after the announcement of the Shetu, most of the candidates will go to the gate of the Gongyuan once, and it is also to familiarize themselves with the roads along the way, and Lin Tailai is no exception.

The Gongyuan is located in the easternmost part of the capital at this time, and it is about near the Jianguo Gate in later generations.

At this time, there was a crowd of people outside the gate of Gongyuan, and Lin Tailai and a few friends squeezed in front of the number of thugs surrounded by dozens of thugs.

Rows of sweeps over, Lin Daguan finally saw the number house assigned to him on the wall - Dongxing 49 Lin Tailai.

The Gongyuan in the capital is divided into two areas, east and west, so "east" means east area.

The number house is arranged in a thousand-character text, and each row of number houses uses one word, so the meaning of "star" is the star word row.

As for the meaning of "49", it is the 49th room in this row.

Therefore, the meaning of Dongxing 49 Lin Tailai is that the number assigned to candidates Lin Tailai is located in the east area of Gongyuan, Xingzi Pai, and Room 49.

Staring at the name of his house, Lin Daguan felt that he had been insulted, but there was no evidence.

Dongxing is just that, what kind of garbage identity is Sijiu?

How can his status be 426 and 489, ah no, 489 is Lu Da's leader.

"There is a villain who wants to deliberately target me in the exam!" Lin Tailai pointed to "Dongxing 49 Lin Tailai" and said loudly.

"What's wrong?" Dong Qichang, who was crowded next to him, asked.

Lin Tailai replied indignantly: "There is no East Star Fifty behind East Star 49, which means that 49 is the last room in this row!"

You should know that there is a latrine in each row of the Gongyuan Building, and it must be next to the last one!

In other words, my house is located next to the latrine! ”

Another person next to him, Wang Yusheng, questioned Lin Tailai and said, "Your persecution delusions have flare up again?"

I think it's just a coincidence, someone has to sit in the last room. ”

Lin Daguan is notoriously suspicious and wary, "I don't believe in coincidences!"

All the examination work was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and it must be the officials of the Ministry of Rites who wanted to deliberately rectify me!

After all, I have always had an old grudge with Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Shangshu asked to deprive me of my fame a few years ago! ”

Wang Yusheng said again: "I heard that Shen Shangshu is a good person, how can he be so ghostly?"

Besides, didn't you and Shen Shangshu reach a settlement? Shen Shangshu is not a capricious person, right? ”

Lin Tailai still insisted: "As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult!"

Even if Shen Shangshu doesn't care about me, it is inevitable that the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette will secretly admit their intentions and make trouble with power! ”

Dong Qichang seemed to be a little scared, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Lin Daguan, and said in a loud voice: "No, no!" Brother Lin, don't talk about it! ”

Lin Daguan became louder and louder, and responded: "Why not? Shen Li has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for four or five consecutive years, and the Ministry of Rites is the base camp of Shen Li!

Now that most of the people in the Ministry of Rites are Shen Li's henchmen, what is so strange about these people taking the opportunity to frame me by handling the examination affairs? ”

Hearing Lin Daguan's words, everyone around couldn't help but look sideways.

This is the exam room, and the exam is about to begin, so is it okay to spray the rites like this?

Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not responsible for judging the papers, they are involved in the examination after all, and there may be something that can affect the results of the examination.

Dong Qichang didn't dare to continue answering, and hurriedly pointed behind Lin Tailai.

Lin Daguan turned his head and saw a director of the Sixth Rank Rite Department standing behind him, looking at him with a pale face.

Obviously, Lin Daguan's remarks just now were all heard by the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Today is the day when the candidate's number is released, and it is normal to have an official from the Ministry of Rites in charge of the scene.

There were many candidates around who were afraid of causing trouble, and they immediately stayed away from Lin Tailai a few steps away, lest they be harmed by the pond fish.

But Lin Daguan didn't care, but pointed to the nose of the head of the Ministry of Rites and shouted arrogantly:

"What do you see? Presumably you are the deacon officer in charge of arranging the barnage?

You officials of the Ministry of Rites have done a shameful thing and deliberately repaired me, and you are afraid that I will be told about it? ”

Director of the Ministry of Rites: "."

All of them were seeing candidates for the first time, pointing at the examiners before the exam.

At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng was in power and the opposition, and when his son took the exam, he was not arrogant to this extent.

The head of the Ministry of Rites was stunned, and then scolded unbearably: "You bastard who should be killed."

But only half of the scolding, suddenly Lin Daguan rushed up and slapped him!

didn't slap his face, but he hit the side of the forehead of the head of the Ministry of Rites, and directly knocked his black gauze hat away.

The surrounding candidates were even more shocked! This Lin Sheng not only dared to reprimand, but also dared to do it!

I heard Lin Tailai snort angrily: "I am also Xie Yuanju's identity, and I can fight against you in terms of etiquette!"

Now I have questions about the arrangement of the dormitory, as an examination official, not only did not patiently explain, but instead abused me, which is simply unreasonable!

I have the courage to bring the lawsuit to Shen Shangshu, I want to see how Shen Shangshu disciplines his subordinates on weekdays! ”

The head of the Ministry of Rites was stunned, and subconsciously touched his head, feeling ashamed and angry.

I can't beat it with my hands, but I don't know what to say.

Lin Tailai took the opportunity to say to the left and right: "For me Lin Tailai, the exam is like cultivating immortals, what I do is to go against the sky!"

A group of ghosts and spirits in the Ministry of Rites must be an obstacle on the road to cultivating immortals, but what am I afraid of Lin Tailai! ”

The other lifters around me really felt that it was an eye-opener today, and I really hadn't seen a candidate who shouted loudly before the exam, saying that he was destined to be persecuted.

During the examination stage, all the gates inside and outside the Gongyuan were guarded by the Jinyi Guard Official School, called the prison officer.

There was a clash outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and immediately more than a dozen official schools rushed over.

Seeing this, the head of the Ministry of Rites habitually said: "Take down the candidates who are making trouble!" ”

Lin Tailai shouted sharply towards the Jinyi Guard Academy: "I, Lin Tailai, have been attacked and besieged by your Jinyi Guard Official Academy three times and twice, and this time I went to Beijing, and I was ambushed by your official school outside the city gate!"

I take the exam as the priority, and I don't care about you, I didn't expect you to dare to come to revenge!

Could it be that your Jinyi Guard Academy still wants to interfere in the exam and expel me Lin Tailai directly from the exam? ”

Dozens of family members also surrounded again, putting on a full-scale battle without saying a word.

Those government schools knew that they had encountered real hard stubble this time, and they began to hesitate and hurt. The water seems to be a little deep, and Lin Tailai also has Shousuke behind him.

Lin Tailai continued to ask: "Are you officials really afraid of making things bigger?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites made a game in the arrangement of the number house, and then deliberately appeared in front of me and provoked me, and then you Jinyi Wei official school came forward to cooperate!

How can I, Lin Tailai, be targeted by you like this? ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Tailai did not continue to stay, and left the gate of the Gongyuan surrounded by dozens of thugs.

The head of the Ministry of Rites wanted to say something, but Lin Tailai couldn't hear it anymore.

Those Jinyi Guard official schools who came to maintain order watched Lin Tailai leave, and they didn't stop him.

The other onlookers watched Lin Daguan go away, and they could only sigh, what kind of candidate is this who is the enemy of the world? There are enemies everywhere inside and outside the exam room, and you dare to come to the exam?

On the way back, Dong Qichang asked curiously: "Is the situation really like you said?" That head of the Ministry of Rites wants to frame you? ”

Lin Daguan replied: "I don't know if he has done a game, but if I were in his position, I would probably do a game, and then I will prevent it according to my assumption." ”

Dong Qichang was speechless, what kind of abstract answer is this? You yourself come up with a conspiracy, and then defend yourself?

Lin Daguan replied again: "I don't know if there is a conspiracy in the exam, but I will treat it according to the situation that there must be a conspiracy in every link!" ”

Wang Yusheng asked again: "Didn't you negotiate with Shen Shangshu before?" Shen Shangshu should have promised you some conditions, what are you still anxious about? ”

Lin Tai said: "What Shen Shangshu promised is that he will not dispute my grades, but what if I don't have grades?

After the test paper is on the case of the inner curtain examiner, of course, it is not a big problem.

But what if the test paper goes wrong in other links before it enters the inner curtain?

In Vanity Fair, never base the probability of success on the promise of the other person. ”

In such a large-scale examination, a large number of officials participated, and it was not only the chief examiner and fellow examiner who were familiar to the general public.

It can be roughly divided into the inner curtain officer and the outer curtain officer, and the inner curtain officer is only responsible for judging the papers, which is the examiner that the general person is familiar with.

The outer curtain officer is responsible for examination affairs and other links, and there are more of them.

In the examination process, after the candidate submits the paper, it will go through four links: acceptance, sealing, transcription, and reading, and then it will be sent to the examiner's case.

A number of officials will be set up in each link to be responsible, and this part belongs to the external curtain officer.

The part that Lin Daguan has determined so far is actually the part of the inner curtain official, and there will definitely be no problem after the test paper is sent to the examiner.

But what is the situation of the external curtain officials led by the Ministry of Rites, Lin Daguan does not dare to take it lightly.

On the day of the exam, at the fourth watch in the morning, the dragon gate of the Gongyuan began to roll call and enter.

According to the usual practice, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites served as the chief promotion and the official of the tribute, and the chief of all examination affairs.

At the time of admission, the chief promoter also personally sat in Longmen, responsible for roll call and admission.

There is no need to worry about seeing people clearly because it is not dark, and there will be hundreds of officers holding torches to illuminate the scene.

Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sat on the public seat, looking at a candidate in a helmet and armor, and his face twitched.

Lin Daguan calmly reported: "I heard that the trial entrance will be named by the great uncle, and the Jinyi guard will be responsible for the search.

And there have always been old grudges with you, the great uncle, and the Jinyi Wei official school, so I have to guard against it.

Therefore, wear the royal armor to minimise the possibility of accidents during the search process. ”

Shen Shangshu reprimanded: "You are really worried! No one here wants to hurt you! ”

Lin Daguan asked eagerly, "Is there anything here?" So where is it? What is it that harms me?

Inside the barn? Or is it subject to volume? Or is it a sealing and transcription session? ”

Lin Daguan's tone was always serious, as if he was in a serious academic discussion.

The candidates queuing up in the back didn't even dare to breathe, and the buddy surnamed Lin in front was too brave.

"Get into the exam room!" Shen Shangshu suppressed the urge to expel Lin Tailai.

If Lin Tailai is expelled, he still has a reputation for raising people, and he can still go to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials, Hai Rui is from being a person to being a second-class royal history!

Not to mention that Lin Tailai still has a martial arts reputation, and he can still continue to be a military attaché.

Standing on Shen Shangshu's left and right, Yu Kong Jian said, "The great uncle doesn't have to."

Shen Shangshu interrupted Yu Kongjian, "You hate Lin Tailai, I can understand, but I don't want to know what you want to do!" ”
