"You deserve it too!"

The county lord was so troubled by the quarrel between the two of them, and when he turned his head again, Shen Hong, who usually looked like a poor student with a bright wind and moon, now his face turned cold, and his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he couldn't see that his emotions were falling on Wang Tongsheng.

Lin Piao saw that Shen Hong's expression was not good, and quietly grabbed his wrist under his sleeve and shook it through the cuff, at this time he was absolutely not able to make a sound, otherwise he was caught on the spot with the handle of disrespecting the teacher, and a child who was studying was not qualified to quarrel with the ancestor who taught, which was a great disrespect.

Shen Hong's eyes moved slightly to look at him, indicating that he knew, that he knew what his sister-in-law was worried about, and that he would not do irrational things at this time.

"Okay, don't quarrel, since you want to come to me to sue Shen Hong and ask me to cancel his qualification for the county examination, now that Shen Hong is also here, you can tell the reason for the matter."

The county lord glanced at Shen Hong with his eyes, he originally just wanted to go through the motions, after all, Wang Xiucai and Wang Tongsheng are both famous, Wang Xiucai is still a student, teaching in Qingfeng Academy, and has countless protégés, because he teaches strictly, dedicates himself to his duties, and treats students like children, he still has some prestige in the county government.

He first introduced the people: "This is Wang Tongsheng, you must all know each other, this is Wang Xiucai, a student in the county government, and an ancestor of Qingfeng Academy." ”

Wang Tongsheng immediately complained about Shen Hong's various things, disrespecting his teacher, making many provocations, and being motivated by profit, so he opened his own private school in the village at a young age.

You must know that the most important thing for a scholar is to have a clean reputation, and the desire for profit is bad enough to hear, and it is even more a great sin to disrespect the teacher.

Wang Tongsheng said sadly: "When I heard that his brother had been lost at home, and he had not come back for a long time, he wanted to go and see him, but who knew that he would not even let me in the door, and immediately drove me out. ”

Lin Piao interrupted him: "You don't have to be a fool, who knows who you have offended, you go and ask the people in the village, after you leave, we are all in the village, and if you don't say that you were beaten, I really don't know about it." ”

When the county magistrate heard that Wang Tongsheng had been beaten, he was very curious to ask about the details, and Wang Tongsheng made up nonsense, saying that he heard the voice, and at the same time saying that he could vaguely see Lin Piao's face, and of course Lin Piao knew that he was talking nonsense, and the current situation of the two of them was at the peak of the decisive battle of nonsense.

The county lord looked at Lin Piao again: "You said that he offended people, but isn't it the first time he has come to your village, how can he offend people?" ”

When I first met him, I didn't know how thin a handful of bones were, and now I have just raised my appearance, and when I saw him come to the door, I naturally didn't feel angry, and I thought that the teacher really had no conscience, so I decided that Shen Hong would not go to a private school and read books at home to prepare for the examAt that time, the neighbors in the neighborhood heard it, and they were illiterate, and their faces changed, and who knew that they would not hold a grudge in their hearts, and chased them out to relieve their anger. ”

After all, Wang Tongsheng first treated Shen Hong badly, and then went to other people's villages to make a lot of nonsense, and it was not uncommon for him to be hated, he looked at Shen Hong, and nodded beside him, confirming that what Lin Piao said was true, he had heard a little bit about why Shen Hong didn't take the Tongsheng test, and it seemed that he was held in by the teacher, but Shen Hong didn't like to complain, and he didn't talk about it carefully.

Wang Xiucai saw that the attitude of the county lord was so biased towards Shen Hong's side, and immediately said: "But this is not the reason why he disrespects the teacher, he can clearly say goodbye to the teacher and go home, how can he make such an ugly fuss, he does not respect the teacher at all, and directly locks my cousin out of the door, and does not even enter the door to drink tea, if they don't do things so first, my cousin will be noisy at the door without seeing it, it is clear that this crime is caused by Shen Hong, how can I blame my cousin." ”

Lin Piao thought to himself that this level was not a loss.

"All in all, if the county lord allowed him to take the county examination, the disciples would not have to respect the ancestors in the future, and the words "Heaven and Earth Monarch and Prince" would not have to be spoken.

Of course, he knew Shen Hong's difficulties, but it was false to say that Wang Xiucai's words were not bluffing.

"You are very good at taking advantage of the situation, you said that the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher, and you have added light to your face in a plain way, as if Shen Hong's exam is not respecting heaven and earth, not respecting the present, not respecting his parents, you know that his parents died at a young age, and the young man lost his brother, but you said these words to bluff people, you are not Shen Hong's ancestor, and Wang Tongsheng did not do anything wrong, why is it all on you now, as if Shen Hong is not sorry for you and the entire Qingfeng Academy?"

Lin Piao held back his anger and didn't say anything too harshly, for at this moment of quarrel, the person who judged it was the county magistrate, and it would be counterproductive if he said it too badly.

As soon as the county lord heard him say this, after Lin Piao reminded Shen Hong of his life experience, he felt more and more pity for Shen Hong in his heart, and when he looked at Wang Xiucai again, he was not happy, no one likes to be pressed by people with some bluffing words, and the more he was bluffed at first, he only felt unhappy after reacting.

"Okay, you don't have to say it again, I have my own judgment on Shen Hong's affairs, since you are an ancestor in Qingfeng Academy, you naturally need to know the truth of cherishing talents and loving talents, how can there be a reason to cut off the future of a young man in the cold window, how can you tell their family to live in the future?" He thought in his heart that several people who had studied together had missed the opportunity because they had failed the exam, or because they had lost their chances, or because they had bad luck, they had all ended up depressed at a young age or had hanged themselves if they couldn't think of it.

As soon as Wang Xiucai heard the county lord scold him for not loving talent, he knew that the county lord had already made a decision in his heart.

"The talented people in the world are like carp crossing the river, and they must cherish their talents and the other party is worthy of them. He bowed, turned and left.

Lin Piao thought to himself that it was really awesome to have a fame, this was a showman, and he felt that he was already flying a fighter jet, and he was not polite to Lord Xiancheng at all.

After the people left, the county Cheng Da breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, he said that there is no reason why people should not even go to the examination room." He reassured.

Lin Piao nodded, thinking of Wang Xiucai's majestic appearance, he always felt that the matter would not end so simply, and when he returned to his courtyard, he immediately mobilized the students, one of whom gave them a few pennies, and asked them to go out to find out the news.

Lin Piao sent his students out to inquire, and sure enough, his sixth sense was not wrong, and he didn't know how many people came out of nowhere, sitting in various inns and restaurants to spread gossip, specifically slandering Shen Hong, saying that he did not respect his teachers and should not take the exam.

Lin Piao thought to himself that this should not be Wang Xiucai's method, because he is such a majestic and high-spirited person, such a method is very low-rate.

However, Lin Piao didn't have time to think about it, so he had to hurry through the current crisis, isn't it just that the public opinion war wants everyone to leave the impression that Shen Hong is not right?

Lin Piao immediately separated from the two dog soldiers and began their spreading.

Originally, the gossip listeners didn't think much about it, but they only heard that Shen Hong did not respect his teacher, and since he did not respect his teacher, and since his morality was flawed, he should not be allowed to participate in the county examination.

Everyone immediately nodded their heads one after another, they didn't know whether it was true or not, and each side said their own thing, but one thing could not be wrong, Lin Piao and Shen Hong had a good conscience, and they also taught the county government how to save people!

Speaking of which, everyone remembered that when they came to the lawsuit in the summer, it was Shen Hong who was pushed into the water, and Lin Piao rescued the person, and they felt that this child had a bad fate.

Speaking of Wang Tongsheng's abuse of Shen Hong, one by one they were even more indignant, no matter how much the students should respect the master, adults can't bully children, right?

"It's not a thing! Don't be embarrassed, a teenager is a little bit of a teenager. ”

"That's it, I think he was afraid that people would be admitted to Tongsheng and crush him!"

Shen Hong's appearance and experience have successfully aroused the hearts of most people's aunts and uncles, and they only hate that there is such a child from someone else's family in their own family.

Later, when someone said that Shen Hong was not good, they would go up and say that Shen Hong was a poor child, and there was no need to force a poor child to death, so why bother to be such a troubled child, and they did not want to listen to those who said that Shen Hong was not good and that Shen Hong should not be allowed to take the exam.

Wang Xiucai waited in the academy for three days, waiting for public opinion to ferment and then asked Wang Tongsheng to beat the drum and complain to Shen Hong.

At first, he was relentless, but unfortunately since he didn't eat the soft ones, he came to the hard ones.

Wang Xiucai sat in front of the desk, and he looked at the young man on the side with pity.

He was one year younger than Shen Hong, and he was going to take the county exam this year, and he was also known as a little prodigy.

In fact, he always had an idea in his heart, this student is so smart, he has been taught since he was a child, and he is about to go to the county exam, how can he be enough for only one child? If he was the head of the county, he deserved to be so smart, and it was also what his ancestors deserved for many years, and his students would have overwhelmed the people of Ludong Academy.

He is so smart, it is not difficult for the county to be the head of the case, but Shen Hong is famous, and he is appreciated by the master of Ludong Academy, and the only opponent is him.

Shen Hong disrespected his cousin's moral failures, and blocked the path of his most beloved student, so he had no reason to let him go.

Wang Xiucai waited and waited, and heard the students come to report to him that his father had sent a servant out to spread the news, but in the end, no one rushed up in anger, thinking that Shen Hong should not take the county examination.

waited until the county test began, what did they do, Lin Piao's side was wandering around the major restaurants all day long, and the solution was faster than the move, and it didn't shake Shen Hong and his party, so angry that Wang Xiucai slapped the table.

Chapter 58

On the day of the exam, Lin Piao sent them to the door of the examination center, looking at the students who were so nervous that they seemed to be out of breath, their hands were tightly clenched in front of them, only Shen Hong looked relatively bland, and even Ergou, a person who usually had a hippie smile, couldn't laugh at this time.

"Don't be too nervous, just do it calmly, leave the rest to fate, anyway, you have worked hard enough, just do the best you can." Lin Piao comforted them, and then watched into the examination hall, until their backs disappeared from sight, and Lin Piao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh mom, I'm tired, how can this test be more tiring than the exam." Lin Piao wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was all up to them to go, and Lin Piao didn't know what would happen inside, but in short, he did everything he had to do.

Uncle Qiu smiled beside him: "How many inns and restaurants have you run in the past few days, your legs are going to be thin." ”

"Speaking of this, I'm angry, and I'm a ninth-rate method." Lin Piao thought to himself that this was not an ancient marketing method, and thought that he would not be able to see it until at least after Shen Hongjinshi, but he didn't expect to see such a thing before he was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination.

"Okay, let's go to the inn and rest."

The two of them walked for a while, and when they arrived at the inn they had set before, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted them as soon as they saw that they were coming: "You two are here?" Come, upstairs please! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned a fellow to lead them upstairs.

Lin Piao and Zheng Qiu went upstairs, their rooms were all set according to the sky, and now there are only two rooms, but when they got upstairs, after the guy took them to the door of the room, Lin Piao looked left and right: "Didn't you talk about the one over there?" ”

"Someone over there asked for it, and they all lived in it anyway, and this room was the same as that one."

Lin Piao nodded, thinking that maybe the scenery was better, but he didn't come to see the scenery, and he didn't have the strength to reason about it again: "Okay." ”

Saying that, the two of them entered the room, after all, the inn was professional, although it was not as warm as the earth dragon and the earth kang, but there was a large fluffy quilt, Lin Piao fell on the bed, thinking that he could finally rest.

He was dazed and fell asleep after lying down for a while, until Uncle Qiu came to call him and did not react that he had fallen asleep on his own.

Uncle Qiu woke him up for lunch, and then the two went back to their rooms to continue their respective rests, while Lin Piao continued to fall asleep, and only in the afternoon did he finally ease up, rubbing his eyes in a daze, and sat up from the quilt, feeling that the world in front of him was clear.

After lunch, the two walked outside along the street, but it was too cold, so they walked symbolically and hurried back to their homes to lie down on the bed.

Uncle Qiu sat in his room for a while, very worried about the students' condition: "It's so cold now, I don't know how they are doing in the examination hall, I don't know if the food is good or not, what they eat, and we are not allowed to deliver food, so they are locked up in a small room like this for five days, and I don't know how to get through." ”

Lin Piao also felt embarrassed when he thought about it, they still had warm quilts to lie on, but Shen Hong and the students didn't know what kind of life they were living in the examination hall.

"Uncle Qiu, don't worry, anyway, it's just the matter of the past five days, this trip will always be a crime, and when they come out, let's order two good dishes and make up for them."

Zheng Qiu nodded, but he was still very worried, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that this weather would freeze people.

"I don't know if the examination institute will give charcoal, and if you can't burn some firewood!"

Lin Piao nodded, feeling that this was indeed the case.

The two got together and worried for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it was useless to think so much, so it was better to sleep well.

Zheng Qiu returned to his room, and Lin Piao lay back on the quilt again.

Lin Piao slept extremely refreshed during the day, but at night it showed its drawbacks, lying in the warm quilt was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, holding the quilt flat, lying on his side, lying on his stomach, but he didn't feel sleepy.

In the end, Lin Piao simply gave up struggling, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so it was better to think about things and think about the future.

He thought of Shen Hong, thought of Ludong Academy, thought of money, thought of many, many things, and finally thought about the present.

For example, when two shops selling the same thing, it is easy for one of them to slander and spread rumors about the other store, or deliberately add something to the other party's dish to destroy the reputation of the other party, which is a typical malicious bad review.

With Wang Xiucai's iron-clad appearance, although he is hypocritical, he may believe it himself if he pretends to be too much, and this method may not have been thought up by him.

Regardless of who came up with the idea, there are always people who are carrying it out, and judging from the results of his guerrilla warfare in the major restaurants and inns in the past few days, there is definitely more than one person who is acting as a communicator.

As long as you can find out the identities of these people, and then find out the common ground from their identities, it is easy to find Wang Xiucai's collaborator, even if this person is not aimed at Shen Hong, it is definitely Wang Xiucai's thigh, and if you want to target Wang Xiucai, you must first find out his connections.

The more Lin Piao thought about it, the clearer his mind became, and he couldn't wait to get up directly to inquire about the news, but he could only be trapped in bed and sigh late at night.

Alas, can't sleep.

Lin Piao lay down, and began to think about Shen Hong again, once in February, after the county examination, and again in April, and when Shen Hong was a child, he would go to Ludong Academy, this kind of large academy can basically be sent, not to mention the academy that is still open on the mountain, whether it is logically or from the heart, Lin Piao wants to live in the county government.

But the thought of having to spend a lot of money to live in the county government is a bit painful.

But after thinking about it, you shouldn't feel sorry for any money, and the quality of life after living in the county government can definitely be improved to a lower level.

Lin Piao's head was thinking about beating Wang Tongsheng for a while, being drunk and drunk, and thinking about drowsiness when he came quietly, and he lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Lin Piao woke up early the next morning, looked at the light coming through the window, and there seemed to be a little sun today, which made Lin Piao feel very good, and after lying on the bed for a while, he got up and put on his clothes one by one, and then knocked on Uncle Qiu's door.

Zheng Qiu had already woken up, but Lin Piao hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know what Lin Piao's arrangements were for today, so he went to a pancake shop where they had eaten before and bought two pancakes, ate one for himself, and left one for Lin Piao.

As soon as Lin Piao knocked on the door, he liked to mention a fragrant, crispy and fluffy oil cake, and ate the still warm oil cake with hot water, Lin Piao said: "I am going out today to find out the news, and I have to find out the mastermind behind the student examination in the past few days." ”

"You're going to a restaurant?"

"Of course I have to go."

Zheng Qiu thought for a while: "But isn't the person behind the troublemaker Wang Xiucai?" ”

"Anyway, we have to look more carefully, I think there is a mystery in this matter, the clearer we know, the better."

Zheng Qiu nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll go with you, it's not safe for you to run to the restaurant alone." ”

Zheng Qiu had followed Lin Piao to the restaurant a few times before, although it was said to be a serious place, but there were more men and fewer women eating inside, Lin Piao swayed back and forth inside, I don't know how many eyes fell on him, and then those people all helped Shen Hong speak, not necessarily there was no reason for Lin Piao, after all, as long as Lin Piao spoke, everyone who saw the attraction liked it.

The two of them simply ate breakfast and went out to start today's business, Lin Piao went to the most diligent restaurant they went to in the past few days, Guangju Building.

Guangju Lou is one of the largest restaurants in the county government, it is one of the most affordable, cost-effective, and the business philosophy is relatively the most pursuit of small profits and quick turnover.
