From beginning to end, Chen Sanlang sat peacefully, talking and laughing, as if he had never had a conflict with Wei Liming. Zhou Hezhi secretly observed, and sighed in his heart: When he was young, he was a fearless and ignorant, and he ran into walls everywhere, and his head was bleeding......

The sage said: If you don't see righteousness, you don't have courage.

Chen Sanlang's "bravery" is by no means reckless, but a pearl of wisdom.

Zhou Hezhi was originally quite worried about Wei Mingqiu's accounting, but now, under the influence of Chen Sanlang, he has slowly become determined-

Burixiang tried to release the list, as long as Chen Sanlang was promoted, Wei was helpless.

When the time came, the painting boat rowed back to the dock and anchored, and the guests who did not spend the night on the boat went down and returned to Yangzhou City.

One night of wind and moon, this is over.

Chen Sanlang and the others got into the carriage and walked away.

On the painting, in the wing room, that Long Wu has already woken up and can move freely - Chen Sanlang's kung fu of intercepting the pulse and acupoints can only be said to be just getting started, and the person who is knocked down will automatically unravel after half an hour.

"My lord, why don't I go find some friends on the road, and if I don't do it, I won't stop ......."

Syllable!

Wei Liming felt frizzy in his heart when he heard this, and he slapped him directly and roared in a low voice: "Idiot, they are not ordinary scholars, if they can do this, I can't think of it?"

Long Wu was deflated, stood with his head bowed, and did not dare to say anything more.

Wei Liming put his hands behind his back, and his eyes were gloomy: Hmph, tonight's cheekiness will be left here for the time being; when he becomes the prefect of Nanyang Mansion, he will not only want to get his cheeks back, but also their lives!

......

In the days that followed, life was calm and homework was indispensable. Occasionally, he and Zhou Hezhi's ancient Linchuan went out to visit the ten scenes of Yangzhou - after the matter of Qinhuai, the two faintly thought that Chen Sanlang and Ma were looking forward.

this day. It is a big day for the township trial list. Early in the morning, in several inns near the test yard. The scholars who lived in it put on the latest and most festive clothes, burned incense and prayed, and waited for good news.

There is a procedure for the township test list, that is, after the results come out, people will first report to the inn, and all the reports will be completed, and then the complete list will be posted in the test institute and yamen.

This process is exactly the same as the following trials.

After Chen Sanlang got up, he finished freshening up. Downstairs, Zhou Hezhi, Gu Linchuan and others had already occupied a table, leaving a vacant seat waiting for him.

"Daoyuan sat back and relaxed, and definitely slept well last night. ”

Gu Linchuan quipped.

There were red threads in his and Zhou Hezhi's eyes, obviously concerned about the release of the list, tossing and turning, and not sleeping enough.

On the first floor of the inn, almost all the tables were full, and everyone had a look of anticipation and anxiety on their faces. It's not that they can't get home. It's that the results of this list are too important.

The dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall, only today.

In it, Chen Sanlang met Qin Yushu and his party. Sit on the other side. The eyes of the two met by chance, Qin Yushu snorted coldly, and turned his face away: Qin Huai painted the boat that night. He originally wanted to show himself well in front of Wei Liming and get a golden thigh hug. As a result, it was self-defeating, and he was slapped by Wei Ming. Later, I wanted to come to the door several times to ask for a meeting. were all turned away.

Qin Yushu understood in his heart that this was Wei Liming's anger at him because of Chen Sanlang.

It's all to blame on Chen Sanlang......

But as long as you win today, all the gloom will be swept away......

Thinking of this, he was in good spirits.

Today's time passed very slowly, and everyone waited left and right, as if a long time had passed, but only half of the hour had passed.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the corner of the street on the other side of the test yard.

The sound was like thunder in spring, deaf and deaf, and everyone's ears were pricked up at once.

Yangzhou is a prefecture and county, and its governance is very strict, and in the city, there are only a few situations in which a horse is allowed to run a horse - conveying the good news of the township trial is one of them.

Da-da-da-da!

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to strike on people's hearts, clear and powerful, and if it weren't for the etiquette, all the scholars couldn't help but rush out. But I was worried that the good news sent by this ride had nothing to do with me, and if I threw myself outside, I would attract the ridicule of others.

"The township test is a good report! Su Yanjin, the young master of He Yumen Mansion, won the nineteenth place in the Yangzhou township test......"

A loud voice came, and it traveled far and wide.

"I'm in, I'm in, I'm in......"

A man in his forties at the Longmen Inn couldn't be reserved any longer, squeezed through the crowd, stumbled out, and almost tripped and fell under his feet because of the rush. But no one laughed at his wolf bèi, and all the eyes that looked at him contained a deep envy.

After passing the exam, he became a master, and since then, he has been promoted to another level. It's like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, no matter how extraordinary.

The first to report was the nineteenth, in other words, only nineteen people were admitted to this year's Yangzhou Township Examination. This number of places is less than in previous years.

Yangzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, and the number of places in each state and county will change, Yangzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, and the number of places has always been the largest, but compared with hundreds of reference scholars, this selection ratio can be called cruel.

At the beginning of the Xia Yu Dynasty, everything was in ruins, the selection of scholars for the imperial examination was relatively relaxed, the number of admitted people was relatively large, and the procedures were very cumbersome. For example, after the file of the township examination is reviewed and scored, it has to be sent to Kyoto to be seen by the emperor and then decided.

In this way, the time for the release of the list is also relatively late.

However, as the affairs of the dynasty were on the right track, the country and the people were safe, and the officials gradually became bloated, and the tail was too big. The world is so big, the location is so much, a radish and a pit, it can't be arranged at all, so you can only feed on empty salary.

Over time, it becomes a big problem.

Seeing this, the previous emperor made up his mind to begin to streamline the administration and reduce the number of troops -- the source was the imperial examination system, and the most important thing was that the number of people admitted to each session was greatly reduced.

The implementation of the new policy caused an uproar in the government and the opposition at that time, and they were very dissatisfied, but they were all suppressed. In today's sainthood, there is no psychological politics, and the link of passing the township test has also been canceled, and the inner curtain can be directly approved and read through guò.

Su Jin, who was the first to learn about the promotion, was full of joy, and hurriedly took out the happy money from his pocket to give the person who reported the news, and his face was already smiling like a flower. He was originally dressed simply, even patched, and he was only one poor and sour showman, but after the middle lift, his whole body seemed to be emitting light, and he was full of wealth.

After this ride, after a while, the second rider came to report the news......

......

On this day, Nanyang Mansion sent away the old prefect Su Guancheng and ushered in the new prefect Wei Mingming.

Su Guancheng was promoted, jumped up, became a scholar and politician in Yangzhou, and the fourth-rank official was promoted to a third-rank official;

The new official took office with three fires, and the first fire, he began to investigate the situation about Chen Sanlang.

In the past, there were many stories around Chen Sanlang, so Fucheng had already been recorded and written in detail. Wei Mingming easily took the file and looked at it slowly.

After reading it, the case was shot: "Jiang Caoqi killed the official and escaped, and has not been arrested so far, in this big case, Chen Yuan, as Jiang Caoqi's brother-in-law, is very suspicious." At that time, how did the county magistrate of Jing County not arrest people for interrogation and investigation, and it was a dereliction of duty, which was really a dereliction of duty. ”

He felt very annoyed, but since he caught Chen Sanlang's sore foot, he was not afraid that he would fly away. According to the usual practice, the new prefect will go to the county towns to inspect the people's customs ten days after taking office, and when the time comes, ......

"When the time comes, I will let you know clearly what an adult is!"

......

"Township test success! Zhang Zhenyu, the young master of Hepingshan Mansion, won the sixth place in the Yangzhou township test......"

It was another flying newspaper, which attracted many long-awaited scholars to look sideways, and when they heard clearly that the name was not their own, they all sighed in unison.

It's noon, and I've already reported for sixth place. As time passed, as the number of places became smaller and smaller, a large number of people were left looking at each other, only to feel that the hope of winning the lift was getting slimmer and slimmer.

Zhou Hezhi's face has begun to be gloomy, his family knows his own affairs, if his title article can be lifted, it will only be quite backward, and there is no behind, which means that he has once again lost his name to Sun Shan.

This time, most likely, the last time......

"Hey......"

Although I was mentally prepared, when the cruel reality came, I still felt full of bitterness, an empty heart, and nowhere to rely on.

On that side, Qin Yu was calm on paper, but he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, like ants on a hot pot, but fortunately, Chen Sanlang and they didn't have good news. (To be continued......)
