Outside the gate of the examination room.

Many candidates have already left the examination room, and they are in groups here, talking about today's exam questions.

They may be excited, or shake their heads and sigh, or suffer from gains and losses, and so on.

Chu Wangqiu had also come out at this time, and was waiting with Wei Xiao on the side, chatting from time to time.

Wei Xiao's eyes have been on the gate of the examination room, the most sharp-eyed, when Zhao Yu walked out of the door, he immediately saw it.

"Young master, have you finished the exam?"

Stepping forward quickly, Wei Xiao showed anticipation to Zhao Yu.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Yu nodded, and then looked at Chu Wangqiu who was walking behind Wei Xiao with a smile.

"Haha! Brother Zhao, how did you do in the exam? ”

Chu Wangqiu walked over with a big smile, looking at Zhao Yu with blazing eyes.

"The question is done, as for whether it is good or not, it can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven!"

Zhao Yu smiled, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Wangqiu's handsome face full of smiles, and said with a smile:

"Look at Brother Chu's red face, but is it in your chest?"

"Hey, hey!"

Chu Wangqiu laughed, approached Zhao Yu's ear, and laughed softly:

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, I happened to write something similar to this eight-strand essay on the first question before!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he congratulated Chu Wangqiu:

"In that case, the little brother is here to congratulate in advance!"

"He, it's too early to say this!"

Chu Wangqiu straightened his body, waved his hand very arrogantly, and then smiled with interest:

"Brother Zhao, let's not talk about this! Now that the first exam is over, and there are still a few days left for the release of the list, should we find a place to have a banquet and relax? ”

"Forget about the banquet, the government exam is not over yet, and the younger brother is ready to go back to review his homework!"

Zhao Yu shook his head.

"Huh?"

When Chu Wangqiu heard this, he sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Yu, and said suspiciously:

"After the first test of the government examination, the second test will be held only after the release of the list, and only those who are on the list will be eligible for the next one! Brother Zhao went back to review his homework and prepare for the next game at this time, but he was sure that he had passed this first game? ”

"Didn't you just say that you will do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!"

Zhao Yu smiled implicitly and explained:

"Go back and review your homework, if this first one is over, then it's just right, and we are ready for the next exam; If you haven't, it doesn't matter, just learn more! Anyway, all the preparations, don't you? ”

"Tsk! A hard-working person like Brother Zhao, if he doesn't go to high school, heaven will not tolerate it! ”

Chu Wangqiu admired it, solemnly arched his hand towards Zhao Yu, and then pulled Zhao Yu up and left:

"Brother Zhao, let's go back to the inn, and I'll review my homework with you!"

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and let Chu Wangqiu pull him away.

Behind, Wei Xiao followed silently.

......

Outside the Spring Creek Inn.

After Zhao Yu and the three returned to the inn, they walked straight in from the door of the store.

However, their group was also looked at by the caring people in a teahouse opposite.

"That's him! It's the young student who just walked into the inn! ”

In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, the thin monkey man pointed to the door of the Chunxi Inn opposite the window, and turned his head to look at the thin middle-aged and fierce young man beside him.

When the fierce young man heard this, he pointed out the window, glared at the thin middle-aged man, and said with anger:

"Master Zhang, do you think that person's style looks like a son of a family who came out with many guards to catch the exam? We have been here for so many days, and this person did not leave the inn until today's house test, have you ever seen such a family son who studied hard behind closed doors? ”

"It's not like that......"

The thin middle-aged man frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "In addition to his appearance and temperament, this person really doesn't look like a family son, and I didn't see the master guards we guessed, and the servant behind him, looking at his hands and appearance, doesn't look like a practitioner, am I guessing wrong, he is not a family child?" The big boss was not killed by his guards, but someone else? ”

"Humph! Whether it was or not, he was the one who was present at the time, and after taking him, he would naturally be able to ask about the things at that time! ”

The fierce young man snorted coldly, glared at the Chunxi Inn opposite, and said coldly:

"Since he doesn't have a so-called master guard by his side, it's easy to do! One of them is a weak little scholar, the other is an ordinary servant, just these two people, we can easily take it down! I'll arrange for someone now, and we'll sneak into the inn and kidnap him out at night!" ”

With that, the fierce young man raised his feet and walked towards the door.

"Never!"

The thin middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed the fierce young man and said cautiously:

"Now that it is the government examination, the government is strict with guards everywhere in the city, and there is a lot of protection for these reference students, once there is a student being taken captive, it will definitely cause an uproar, and it is difficult to say whether we can get out of the city safely! So we still follow the original plan, wait for this person to finish the government exam, leave the city of Fucheng, and then do it! ”

"Master Zhang, you're too cautious, aren't you?"

The fierce young man was reluctant and looked gloomily at the thin middle-aged.

The thin middle-aged man shook his head:

"There's nothing wrong with being careful! The big boss suffered this disaster because he was careless, if something happens to us again, who will avenge the big boss? ”

Hearing this, seeing that the thin middle-aged man was pulling his father, the fierce young man was furious, but he still had a lot of things to rely on the thin middle-aged, so he looked out the window after a cold snort, and didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescing to the thin middle-aged opinion.

The thin monkey man stood aside and didn't speak, just looked at the two people in the room.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

......

Outside.

After Zhao Yu returned to the inn, he locked himself in his room as before, and began to review his homework to prepare for the next two exams.

And many other students, except for a few people like Zhao Yu, the vast majority of them have begun to feast on the wreckage.

This first exam is the most important, and only after passing it can you be eligible for the next exam.

So after this exam, many candidates seemed to let go of their burdens and began to have fun as if they were free.

This also made the next few days in Defu City particularly lively, even more lively than before the start of the prefectural examination, and many students were drinking and feasting while waiting for the results of the first exam.

While many students are waiting like this, the government is also nervously grading.

......

Hengzhou prefect yamen.

In a public room in the back hall, the door is closed, and in the middle of the room is a long table made up of several tables, on which are stacks of examination papers, and on either side of the long table are sitting one after another marking people, who are burying their heads in grading.

The chief examiner of the government examination is the prefect, and he is also the examiner and the final decision on the admission list, but there are more than 1,000 examination papers for the government examination, and if you want to read them all in a few days, the prefect alone can't do it at all, so you need these marking personnel to help mark the papers.

These people choose their favorite examination papers from one examination paper, and then submit them to the prefect to read the papers and decide whether to pass or not.

In this public house, there is also an inner room, where there is also a long table, and behind the table sits a thin old man, this person is the prefect of Hengzhou, Li Yanfu!

Li Yanfu was holding an exam paper at this time and looked at it meticulously.

After reading it, Li Yanfu shook his head, put the exam paper on the side of the table, and then picked up another exam paper on the table and looked at it.

It's just that after reading seven or eight exam papers in a row, Li Yanfu shook his head.

At this time, Li Yanfu's brows were already wrinkled, shaking his beard, and he said solemnly to the group of people outside the door:

"We must carefully review the papers, don't miss a good paper, and be worthy of the students, and worthy of Your Majesty!"

"Yes, sir! I'm going to review the papers carefully! ”

A group of marking personnel outside responded one after another.

Seeing this, Li Yanfu nodded and slowly withdrew his gaze.

However, just as he was retracting his gaze, Li Yanfu saw an elegant scribe sitting at the end of the long table outside, looking at an exam paper with great interest.

Seeing this, Li Yanfu couldn't help but speak:

"Respectfully, but you've reviewed the good paper again?"

The elegant scribe sitting there was none other than Professor Fuxue, Wang Jingzhi.

Hearing Li Yanfu's words, Wang Jingzhi stood up and walked over with a smile with the exam paper in his hand:

"Lord Huifutai, my subordinates have indeed seen another good article here."
