Before leaving, his mother took out an ancestral jade unicorn to hang, put it on Wang Weixue's neck, and prayed and said: "The jade unicorn blesses my son all the way safely, and the title of the gold list." ”

Along the way, Wang Wei studied and slept in the open air, day and night, and arrived at the town of Monan, a small town at the foot of the original town of Python Mountain, which is only two days away from the capital, and is the only way to the capital, so most of the pedestrians on the road are candidates who enter Beijing to take the exam. Wang Weixue had just arrived here, and suddenly, it was pouring rain, and he hurriedly took three steps and two steps, and rushed to an inn.

After dinner, Wang Weixue lay down on the bed early to rest. He actually came to the gate of the Gongyuan in the capital, and saw many candidates gathered together, scrambling to see the imperial list posted on the wall.

Wang Weixue entered the Beijing exam this time, he didn't dare to think about the top prize, he only looked forward to being able to be named on the gold list, and not in vain his ten years of hard work in the cold window, and now, seeing the announcement of the imperial list, he eagerly squeezed into the crowd and looked for his name on the imperial list. Soon, he saw the words "Wang Weixue" in the eighteenth place in the second grade, and he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "I passed the test!

Li Jianmin, a candidate who lived in the same room as Wang Weixue, was awakened by the shouting and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wang, what did you pass the test?"

Wang Weixue rubbed his eyes, then realized that he had a dream, and said embarrassedly: "Just now, I had a dream that I won the eighteenth place in the second class. ”

When Li Jianmin heard this, he said in a loud voice: "Brother Wang, this is a good omen, an auspicious omen!"

The next day, the heavy rain was still non-stop, and seeing that the exam date was approaching, Wang Weixue and more than a dozen other candidates in the inn were all anxious and helpless.

It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and on the morning of the fourth day, it cleared up. After breakfast, Wang Weixue and the candidates didn't care about the muddy road, and hurriedly got on the road.

Not far from the town of Monan, through a pine forest, everyone came to the side of the Python River, and was about to urge the bridge immediately, in the pine forest, suddenly a little girl's anxious crying voice came out: "Come quickly, help, help!"

Wang Weixue hurriedly reined in the horse's head and said to the other candidates: "In the woods, someone is in danger, let's hurry over and save people!"

Li Jianmin glanced at Wang Weixue and said, "Brother Wang, there are only two days left before the exam date, although it is important to save people, but the exam cannot be delayed!"

The other candidates, hearing this, slapped their horses forward one by one and rushed towards the direction of the capital.

Li Jianmin also turned around and shouted as he ran: "Brother Wang, don't be stupid, hurry up and go, time waits for no one!"

Looking at Li Jianmin's backs as they went away, Wang Weixue hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his horse's head and ran into the pine forest.

Entering the forest, Wang Weixue saw a young woman standing on a rock, holding a rope hanging from a branch with both hands, and at her feet, there was a little girl of six or seven years old, holding her legs and crying loudly.

It was too late, it was too late, Wang Weixue hurriedly flew off the horse, rushed up with an arrow, pulled the young woman down, and asked eagerly: "This sister-in-law, what can't you think about, you have to go to a dead end?"

The young woman, who was immersed in grief, glanced at Wang Weichengxue, shook her head, and said nothing, but tears flowed.

The little girl cried beside her and said: "Uncle, my father died of illness a few days ago, and there is no food at home, and my mother can't think about it for a while, so she ......" Before the words were finished, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Wang Weicheng's family, orphans and widows, is not very wealthy, this time to go to Beijing to catch the exam, it was not easy to scrape together more than 20 taels of silver for the travel expenses. Along the way, he was frugal, and a penny was broken in half to spend. Seeing that this poor woman committed suicide because she had no money, Wang Weixue couldn't help but feel sad for a while, he didn't think much about it, and immediately took out a few taels of broken silver from his arms, handed them to the young woman, and said: "Sister-in-law, you must not leave your daughter alone! I don't have much silver on me, you can take these broken silver, you can take it home and use it with your children." ”

The young woman waved her hand and said, "It seems that you are a lifter who went to Beijing to take the exam, and there are still many places to spend money along the way, how can I ask for your silver?"

Wang Weixue forced the silver into the woman's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, go home with your daughter." ”

Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly took the woman's hand and said, "Thank you, uncle, mother, let's go home quickly!"

The young woman pulled her daughter, knelt in front of Wang Weixue together, and said, "Benefactor, you are a good person, you will definitely be able to go to high school this time when you enter Beijing to take the exam!"

The little girl kowtowed to Wang Weixue.

Seeing this, Wang Weixue hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up.

Wang Weixue was not at ease, and sent the mother and daughter back home, and then hurriedly boarded the journey and hurried towards the direction of the capital. Fortunately, he didn't delay too much time, arrived in the capital before the exam, and participated in the scientific examination on time.

Waiting for the days of the release of the list is anxious.

On this morning, in front of the inn, a notice was suddenly posted, saying that there was a recent murder in the capital, and at the scene of the murder, there was a piece of jade unicorn left by the murderer.

There were two officials standing in front of the notice, and one of them had a jade unicorn in his hand for everyone to identify.

"Jade unicorn?" Wang Weichengxue, who saw the notice, moved in his heart, and subconsciously reached out to touch his neck, only to find that the jade unicorn on his neck had long since disappeared. He raised his head and looked carefully at the jade unicorn in the official's hand, and was surprised: it was indeed the jade unicorn that was inherited from his family's ancestors!

What should I do? Acknowledging that the jade unicorn is his own, it is very likely that he will be involved in a lawsuit; although he is not a murderer, he is very likely to miss the opportunity to be named on the gold list; if he does not admit it, he will always be honest and will always bear a debt of conscience! In the end, Wang Weixue came to the side of the official messenger and bravely admitted that the jade unicorn was his, and several official messengers immediately stepped forward and took him away!

A few days later, everyone heard such a news, and the top champion turned out to be "Wang Weixue". What's going on here?

It turned out that before this scientific examination, Emperor Tong Qing (clone) had a whim, and every year in the imperial court, the scholars in high school were indeed outstanding in literature, but what about their moral character? There are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world, and more attention should be paid to the virtues of the scholars. So, Emperor Tong Qing (doppelganger) ordered people to set up a plan on the way to Beijing to test the candidates' moral conduct.

Wang Weixue left in a hurry after saving the young woman, and the young woman forgot to ask Wang Weixue's name in a hurry, only to pick up the jade unicorn he left behind in his hurry. After Emperor Tong Qing (doppelganger) found out, in order to find this candidate with noble character, he deliberately posted the emperor's list, saying that this jade unicorn was related to a murder case, the purpose was to see if this candidate who saved people dared to boldly admit that the jade unicorn was his own after knowing that the jade unicorn was related to the murder.

As a result, Wang Weixue withstood all the tests, and Emperor Tongqing (doppelganger) Zhu Bi appointed him as the new champion.
