Chapter 19: The Case!
"Quick...... Look, the twentieth place, it's me...... It's me...... Zeng Qingkang: I was admitted to the middle school and was born as a child!"
"I've won! I've won! Fifteenth!"
"That's me...... 10th place!"
......
Xu Xian Ling held the holy book order, and the golden curtain in mid-air flashed the names of the candidates one after another from the twentieth place. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Only the top 20 students in the county exam were children, so every time a new name appeared, some candidates cheered.
Standing out from more than a thousand people is not an easy task. The candidates who were in the middle of the examination screamed with joy, and the family members around them also smiled and were full of relief.
"Hehe! Uncle, look at these Confucian students in Fengle County, they are just a child in the examination! ”
Looking at these so-called classmates around him, who were happy or sad, Zhao Shuang said to his uncle Zhao Zhi with disdain.
"Uncle, I heard that ordinary children can only get a brick of holy power from the Great Wall when they are promoted to a literary position, but the first person in each county can get two bricks of holy power as a reward?"
"As the first place in the county examination, whether it is a scripture or a poem, he must be outstanding and stand out from the crowd of candidates.
Naturally, when obtaining a child's degree, he can be given an extra brick of holy power than an ordinary child.
If I hadn't been young and frivolous and refused to follow my father's arrangement to come to Fengle County, I would have had to fight with Li Yuncong, who was wise and enlightened in the words of Confucianism, in Jianzhou Mansion. How can you still not be promoted to the university scholar's degree?"
Zhao Zhi sighed, and encouraged Zhao Shuang again, "Zhao Shuang's nephew, don't underestimate the extra brick of holy power rewarded by the head of this case.
Tongsheng is the entry level obtained by Confucianism, there is a way is one step first, you have obtained twice the blessing of the power of the holy brick than others in the Tongsheng degree, as long as you study hard and specialize in Confucianism, your future achievements will be unlimited. ”
"Nephew understands! Please rest assured uncle, nephew will definitely fight for my uncle and our Zhao family. The position of the head of the case is none other than me. ”
Zhao Shuang is full of confidence, and now his ranking on the gold list has reached fifth, and his name has not yet appeared.
But he was not in a hurry at all, in his expectation, his name should appear at the top of the gold list, the first place in the first place.
However, for other candidates participating in the county examination, there are fewer and fewer unannounced rankings, which means that their hope of being a child in the examination is getting smaller and smaller.
As for the last top five, the vast majority of candidates who did not make it were already desperate and had no expectation of being in the top five.
"Brother, there are only five places left......"
Su Ru grabbed Su Lin's arm a little nervously, and Su Lin was also a little dry-mouthed, his heart was beating wildly in his chest, and he supported the future fate of where it went, it depended on whether the county test could be successful.
"Don't worry, Ru'er, the head of the case, it must be mine. Su Lin said softly, and he didn't know if he was appeasing his sister Su Ru or giving himself confidence.
"Third place......!
When the third place was announced, there was an uproar in front of the entire county government, and the entire list had reached its final climax.
"Qi Tianfang is only in third place! he is the most powerful contender for the first place in the battle with Zhao Dagongzi this time?"
"The position at the head of the case must be that of Zhao Dagongzi, but there is still someone with a higher ranking than Qi Tianfang? Who is it? The ranking of powerful candidates seems to have come out?"
......
"I'm only number three......? I obviously wrote a poem that was almost out of the county!" Qi Tianfang, who was present, was also stunned when he saw his ranking.
He answered forty-six questions correctly, and the poem is a poem that is infinitely close to the county, and such a result can only be ranked third.
"Interesting! Interesting! Uncle, look at that Qi Tianfang, a sister-in-law of a wealthy family in Fengle County, a scholar with the words of a scholar.
Last year, I inadvertently wrote a poem out of the county, which is the biggest threat to me among the candidates in Fengle County.
However, he is only in third place, and I really want to see who else in this Fengle County candidate has the ability to win the second place!"
Seeing that Qi Tianfang was only the third place, Zhao Shuang didn't feel that he was threatened, and the second place was about to be announced, he raised his head with Zhao Zhi with great interest and looked at the golden curtain in the sky.
However, when Zhao Shuang saw the name of the second place, the smile on his whole face froze, and Fang Cai's relaxed and freehand scholarly temperament came to an abrupt end.
His eyes widened, and he looked vigorously at the golden curtain, and cried out loudly: "Impossible! How can I be the second? I should be the first to be the first! Impossible! It is impossible to ......."
That's right, the second place announced on the golden screen is none other than Zhao Daru's grandson, Zhao Shuang, the eldest son of the Zhao family.
Not only Zhao Shuang, but everyone except the Su Lin brothers and sisters were stunned and shocked.
The eight Confucian grandsons of Wu State, the eldest son of the Zhao family, and Zhao Shuang, who is open-minded in Hanlin, can only be ranked second, and almost everyone in the county already thinks that he is the first person in the case.
"Xu County Order! Is it that you bend the law for personal gain and arbitrarily evaluate the test papers! Otherwise, how can I not be the first?"
Before the first place was announced, Zhao Shuang couldn't help but jump out, pointing at Xu Wenliang, who was holding the holy book order in front of the county government, and shouted.
"Presumptuous! Zhao Shuang, the county test paper evaluation, all of them are supervised by the Confucius statue, and it is impossible for Xu County to show favoritism.
You are not as good as a person, what is there to be unconvinced, Xu County ordered Jinshi to be a scholar, and you are a seventh-grade official, how can you be a yellow-haired child who can speak provocatively? Quickly retreat!"
As soon as Zhao Shuang jumped forward to accuse Xu County, before Xu Countyling could speak, Zhao Zhi frowned, and his eyebrows and wisdom surged with holy power.
The four words "quickly retreat" were followed, forming a golden holy power bundle, pulling Zhao Shuang back, and bowing his hand to Xu Wenliang and saying:
"Xu County Order, Zhao Shuang is young and ignorant, and he is angry, and he still wants to see my face, and I have the right to forgive him this time. ”
"Hmph! But I made a poem out of the county, and I was so arrogant. Do you know that the half-saint Xunzi once said that there is no end to learning, and there is a mountain and a mountain high?
Xu Xian Ling has always had no good impression of the arrogant Zhao Shuang, and now that Su Lin has come out of nowhere and snatched Zhao Shuang's case, he was very happy, so he made a big move.
In the end, the entire Holy Book Order was thrown into the air, and on top of the huge golden screen, the first place in the high school case was finally revealed, "Surin".
"The first place in the Fengle County test this time, Su Lin!"
The holy power surging in the wisdom, blessed in the majestic announcement of the Xu County Order, the sound waves covered out, and most of the sky above Fengle County resounded.
"What? The first person in charge of the case turned out to be Su Mutou of the Su family?"
"Didn't you say that he hadn't opened his mind for fifteen years? he had just opened his mind, and he was even more powerful than Zhao Dagongzi?"
"No wonder this Sumutou County dared to bet with Zhao Dagongzi before the test, it turned out that he had already made a bamboo in his chest!"
"Oh! How could I miss a great opportunity to make a fortune! Do you know? The Zhao family money bank bet on Su Linzhong's case, but one hundred will be lost! A bet on one or two lines of silver is a hundred taels in a blink of an eye!"
......
The county citizens who gathered in front of the county government to watch the excitement became lively in an instant, and everyone criticized it, saying everything.
But Zhao Shuang looked at the huge word "Su Lin" on the Golden Curtain List in a daze, and his wisdom was faintly blocked, and he muttered: "Impossible! Impossible! I ...... How could I be inferior to Su Mutou......"
"It's not good! This is a heart barrier, Zhao Shuang's nephew, quickly return to Qingming! Wake up! Wake up!"
Zhao Zhi condensed his mind and looked at Zhao Shuang's eyebrows, there were signs of closing, and immediately the holy sound poured into his ears, and the power of Jinshi forcibly rushed into Zhao Shuang's wisdom, and the word "wake up" like thunder shook the sluggish Zhao Shuang back in an instant.
"Uncle, I ......"
Zhao Shuang, who returned to Qingming, had a decadent face, a depressed expression, and there was no trace of aura on the whole person's body, he looked at the eyes around him who looked at him, and they all felt that he was making fun of himself, looking at his jokes, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Don't say anything. You have lost the battle for the top of the case this time, and you have to retreat for half a year, recite the scriptures of the sages, and cleanse your soul. Zhao Zhidao.
"No, uncle, I don't believe I'm going to lose to a fifteen-year-old woodman. My uncle is a cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, and I ask my uncle to administer justice for me. ”
Zhao Shuang looked vicious and shouted unwillingly.
At the same time, he rushed to the Su Lin brothers and sisters who were also at the scene, pointed at Su Lin's nose and shouted: "Su Lin, you wood, how can you be the head of the case? Impossible! Impossible!"
"Hmph! I said Zhao Dagongzi, now that the results of the county examination have been announced, the first person in the case is none other than me Su Lin. I don't know if we can keep our promise with you and the Zhao family behind you?"
Looking at Zhao Shuang, who was crazy and lost his mind, Su Lin took out the gambling contract, threw it in front of Zhao Shuang, and pointed to his sister Su Ru and said:
"According to the bet, I won, and you must apologize to my sister Ru'er and compensate me with a thousand taels of silver. ”
"You...... Su Lin, it's impossible! I definitely won't apologize like a stinky girl!" Zhao Zhi's eyes widened, and he refused without thinking.
"Oh, the bet of the day, but it was made in full view of everyone. If Zhao Dagongzi wants to break the contract, I'm afraid I can only sue Xu County Order. ”
Su Lin sneered and shouted, "Apologize to my sister Su Ru immediately!"
"Apologize!
"Apologies ......"
"Apologize! Apologize......"
With Su Lin's voice, the surrounding villagers also coaxed, on weekdays, the Zhao family is all powerful, and Zhao Dagongzi is not a good person, on the surface he is a humble son, but in fact, he is arrogant and does not bully his neighbors.
"Zhao Shuang, apologize! I am willing to lose the bet, my Zhao family is a great Confucian family, how can I do something that is not trustworthy?"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhi didn't want to make a big deal about it and affect the reputation of the entire Zhao family, so he could only take out a thousand taels of silver tickets and hand them to Su Lin, and then ordered Zhao Shuang to apologize.
