Chapter 551: Joy in the heart, sorrow like a cloud
"Qiu Yan first, Wen Gongzi third?"
"Qiu Yan really won the first place?"
"Qiu Gongzi took Huiyuan?"
As soon as the man's voice fell, Xu Ran, Qi Jiulian, and Song Qian each stood up from their seats, all showing surprised expressions, and the words they said were different, but the meanings revealed were similar.
This news is really a bit unexpected!
"Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan......"
Boom!
Wen Zhizhen muttered the name, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the chair with a cloudy face.
"I lost?"
In the muttering to himself, his expression suddenly changed violently, his eyes showed strong unwillingness, his whole body was agitated, he inhaled and exhaled violently, and then gritted his teeth, got up and left, at a fast speed.
"Wen Gongzi ......" Looking at Wen Zhizhen's hurried background, Xu Ran was a little caught off guard, looked at Pang Qianru, and stomped his feet angrily: "It's all your fault!"
Pang Qianru spread her hands out, revealing an innocent look: "I just asked people to inquire about the news, how can you blame me? Didn't Gongzi Wen say just now, what rankings are decided in the examination room, not changed when the list is posted afterwards, and it will not change because of the people from Pang Mansion who inquired in the past." ”
"You!" Xu Ran couldn't refute, recalling Wen Zhizhen's expression, feeling pity, and didn't care about anything else, he just walked away, it seemed that he wanted to catch up with Wen Zhizhen.
It's just that Wen Zhizhen is a man, running wildly, and has long disappeared into the crowd, Xu Ran walked out of the tavern, looked left and right, but where could he still find Wen Zhizhen's figure, and in the end he could only rely on his memory to look in the direction of his departure.
There is exactly where the Guozijian is located, with a large number of people, as far as the eye can see, and the crowds are crowded.
Behind. Qi Jiulian's voice came-
"That Wen Zhizhen is too good at pretending, what did you say just now, 'I am lucky, I lost my life', why is he so eager to turn his face?
He had just recovered from the shock at this time, and although it was a little hard to believe that Qiu Yan had taken Huiyuan, he knew that the Dao Pang Mansion would not cheat on such a thing.
Then, when he thought of the agreement he had with Wen Zhizhen, a burst of ecstasy welled up in his heart.
Let's be honest. Since that day, every time he sees Wen Zhizhen and feels the other party's indifferent, dissipated, and calm temperament, Qi Jiulian has a feeling of being stuck in his throat, and the specific reason is indescribable. But the bad feeling for Wen Zhizhen is getting better and better every day.
In the depths of his heart, he defeated Wen Zhizhen against Qiu Yan. There is still a glimmer of expectation. But as Qiu Yan acted in a low-key manner, Wen Zhizhen caused a storm in the city, and his reputation gradually became famous, and Qi Jiulian couldn't help but feel worried.
I was invited by Pang Qianru to watch the list today, mainly because I wanted to meet Qiu Yan, since the dinner that day. In the past 20 days, Qi Jiulian, Song Qian, Ji Zheng and others have been in contact with Qiu Yan and have conversations, but they can see it. Qiu Yan seems to be caught in a state of exploration and contemplation, even if he talks to people, he gives people a sense of dual-mindedness.
In this case, even if there is an important matter to discuss, it is inevitable that you will not be able to speak out because of various concerns.
On the other hand, Qiu Yan's performance also made Qi Jiulian wonder if the other party had no confidence in the test, and he became more and more worried when he thought that Qiu Yan came out too early that day.
All this, after Qi Jiulian came here today, facing Wen Zhizhen, he didn't even have the confidence to speak loudly, but he didn't expect such a news to come now, which can be described as a huge contrast.
Qiu Yan took Huiyuan, but Wen Zhizhen not only didn't get the first place, but was overwhelmed by Qiu Yan, and he didn't even get the second place!
At this time, Qi Jiulian had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but say the words in his heart.
But as soon as the words fell, he was glared at by Xu Ran angrily, Qi Jiulian couldn't help but be embarrassed, but Pang Qianru said: "Sister of the Xu family, don't be angry, what the kid of the Qi family said is also the truth, but you can't change it with a glance." ”
Xu Ran heard this, and finally broke out: "Pang Qianru, don't you like Gongzi Wen, why do you want to slander him again!" The words fell, and without waiting for a reply, he turned around and left, and his figure disappeared into the crowd.
Pang Qianru shook her head: "In the end, she is a girl who has never been in the world, she has been strictly disciplined since she was a child, but it is precisely because there are too few men in contact with her that she is easily confused by the stories of talented and beautiful women." ”
She glanced at the others, and said: "Okay, Xu Ran came out this time, without a guard, and now rushing into the crowd, there are still hidden dangers, I can't help but ask, let's hurry up and follow, besides, this time the test is extremely interesting, there is a vision in the sky, and the ranking is also intriguing, you can't miss it!"
After saying this, she walked straight out of the tavern and walked towards Guozijian, and soon someone followed, it was actually that Ji Zheng, when she came over, she spit out a sentence lightly: "You have long expected that Wen Zhizhen will lose to Qiu Gongzi, so you sent someone over to investigate?"
"It's not, it's just that I don't think that Qiu Yan will be that simple. Pang Qianru responded lightly and watched Ji Zheng leave.
Song Qian wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Pang Qianru: "Ji Zheng and Xu Ran have a good relationship, let's go first, there is no need to ask more." ”
Following, the group slowly moved forward along the flow of people, and the more they walked, the more they felt that the atmosphere was urgent and weird, and there was a sense of wind and rain coming.
"How do I feel, the atmosphere is not right. Qi Jiulian frowned and muttered.
There are Pan Fu guards in front of the operation of the clever opening of the road, they are unimpeded on the way, not blocked by the crowd, not long after coming to the periphery of the Guozi Prison, from a distance to see a group of candidates standing in front of the door, actually confronting people, shouting, there are people behind them.
The crowd is excited!
There were several officials standing at the gate of Guozijian, wearing official uniforms, but they did not have a trace of official authority, but talked to those candidates with sweaty faces, looking quite bitter, as if they were comforting.
"What's going on? What are they talking about? Are these Confucian students still trying to make trouble?" Pang Qianru looked at the scene in front of her with interest, and then turned her head and asked.
The Tsing Yi family who came to explore the list just now replied: "Someone is fishing in troubled waters here, and when my subordinates just investigated, I heard someone say that someone would try to cheat, which caused confusion among the masses, but I didn't expect that it hadn't been long before it became like this, and the people who fell off the list seemed to have been grouped." ”
"Oh, this is someone trying to play on the topic, I want to see how this person ends. When Pang Qianru spoke, she glanced up at the sky, and noticed that the vision was changing, it was a ray of light that went straight into the sky, but now the light showed signs of dissipating, and the clouds in the sky were dyed with a slight halo.
However, such a change, even if it can attract the attention of the people in the city, it can no longer attract the attention of the candidates, who are now bent on cheating and even confronting the officials!
It's about spelling out a future!
However, after all, they all have the status of lifters, and they also know the consequences of making trouble, so they are still restrained, but the thoughts in their hearts are becoming more and more inflated, and their thoughts are about to get out of control.
Those officials were anxious in their hearts, knowing that if they didn't handle it well, it was very likely that there would be an incident, and the foot of the imperial city was the most taboo to gather people to be chaotic, not to mention that there was a situation in the ceremony?
This is a matter that swept the face of the imperial court, no one dared to treat it easily, so they didn't dare to take it lightly, but secretly wrote down a few scholars who took the lead, and then settled the account afterwards, and now they can only be appeased.
Among the people who took the lead in making trouble, there was Cao Hanqi's figure, just now, he and Qiu Yan and others finally squeezed to the front, and at a glance, the first thing that caught their eyes was Qiu Yan's name.
In this way, people who know each other will inevitably congratulate themselves, but to be honest, how many people can calmly congratulate others at this time? What they really care about is their own achievements.
swept it down at a glance, didn't see his name, confirmed it several times, and finally despaired, Cao Hanqi's face was like ashes at that time, recalling the hard work of the past few years, only to feel sadness from his heart, and tears were about to drop.
At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, and the candidates shouted "unfair", and then the news came, saying that among the candidates, many people were on the list through cheating!
This is the terrible thing about false rumors, the rumors at the beginning are just an introduction, and those who hear it will exaggerate a little according to their own needs, and when there are more people, the news will be unrecognizable.
"The emotions of the crowd seem to be secretly mobilized, and it is difficult to calm them down in a short period of time. ”
Under the list, Qiu Yanyou looked around, shook his head, his eyes seemed to carry a city, and when he turned his eyes, he could see the gloomy aura hovering above everyone's heads, like a cloud, this is the people's hearts are controlled by rumors, and the people's wishes are kidnapped by desire, combined with the power formed by emotions, which can invade people's hearts and infect others.
"Keep going, maybe there will be a demon in your heart!"
Having said that, Qiu Yan did not intend to intervene, but waited quietly.
Next to him, Zhou Guan was talking to Luo Jiayun, both of them looked at the list, but their expressions were very different, although Zhou Guan deliberately suppressed it, he could still see the joy from between his eyebrows, while Luo Jiayun was gloomy.
At the time of the examination, the elites of Darui gathered in one place, and only a few could stand out, and there were only a dozen people who could be on the list in the entire Jiannan Dao.
also relieved Luo Jiayun a few words, Qiu Yan's heart moved, looked up, his mind extended to the past, and felt the changes in the clouds.
There, the vision that originated from the examination paper was in harmony with the idea of the city that carried Qiu Yan's thoughts.
That's when it happened.
Collapse! Collapse!
In a few pushes of the door, the gate of Guozijian was smashed by a candidate who practiced martial arts, and then he waved his arm, and the crowd suddenly rose in momentum.
"What are you talking about! Rumors have spread?"
Tian Fu, Tian Youqing, who had just received the news, was as pale as paper!
"This ...... How is this good? This shouldn't be, haven't you already sent someone to rush there?" he muttered to himself, slammed the table and gritted his teeth, "Lai San! Lai San! You ......"
In the midst of the scolding, Tian Youqing's pale face swelled up with an abnormal flush, and then his eyes rolled and he looked up! (To be continued......)
