Chapter 44: The Puzzle

When for the second!

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar among many unsuccessful scholars.

In their original guess, Lin Haoran was the person with the best chance of winning the case in the five counties, after all, his talent was fully proven in the Pan Xian Poetry Society. It's just that who would have thought that the Tang Governor's Mansion would set him as the second, and announced in advance that he would not be the first to take the government test.

If this is the case, then it is already a sure thing for Maoming students to win the first place, although the Fuzun has reduced the number of children in Maoming students, but it is still giving preferential treatment to Maoming students.

"No, that's not fair!"

"We demand fair treatment!"

"The mansion is so partial, let's go to the mansion to denounce!"

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the son, let's go together! ”

……

The scholars of this era seemed to have infinite combat effectiveness, and as soon as the news came out, they began to organize people in the city and decided to protest together in front of the government office.

From initiation to organization, it only took half a pillar of incense, which is really incredible. "Xiucai rebelled, and it won't be achieved in three years" seems to have been ineffective in them.

As soon as the blood of the remnant sun faded, twilight soaked the ancient city.

Lin Haoran only learned about this on the way back, but it was acceptable to rank second. After all, Governor Tang has a stake in Gaosheng Gambling House, which he didn't expect beforehand.

This Tang prefect seems to be mediocre and incompetent, but in fact he is an old fox. Over the years, I am afraid that I have deliberately come up with some simple questions, and then take care of the students in Maoming, and it is difficult for anyone to find faults.

The same is true for today's policy topics, where the topic of the Wako is easily bet on, and the other topics are also very popular. It's just that it's difficult for everyone to shine, and in the end, it's up to him to decide who is the head of the case.

At this point, he can't do anything, and now that the government test is over, he is also a little homesick, thinking about the cute little girl at home. These days, when he is idle on the street, he doesn't buy a lot of things, and he just wants to bring a little surprise to that little girl.

After returning to the inn, he made sure that Jiang Ronghua returned to Jiangcun after the list, and told him to remember to bring himself that day, and then prepared to go back to the room to rest.

"What about those stupid people still yelling at you? Isn't it appropriate for you not to take a look? Zheng Shijie sat in the lobby and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"You seem to be rejoicing too soon, don't you?" Lin Haoran tilted his neck and looked at him and said.

"Aren't you still giving up? Thanks to your twenty taels of silver, I have a nail in the coffin for this case! Zheng Shijie smiled and took a sip of water and wine, and said proudly to him.

Lin Haoran was shocked: "You don't have to be complacent!" If this continues, Fuzun will naturally not point to me, but it will definitely not point to you, but to the one next to you! ”

After Zheng Shijie heard this, his color changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at his companion, who was still pondering Lin Haoran's words, but as if he suddenly understood, his face couldn't help but show ecstasy.

Fuzun will naturally let Gaosheng Gambling House lose, but in order to appease the resentment of the scholars, or for more benefits, it is very likely that someone else will be selected from the students in Maoming County to be the head of the case.

Burst!

Zheng Shijie looked at his companion's overjoyed appearance, and almost vomited blood, this product really thought that it could be compared with himself. When the wine in the cup was about to be spilled, the scholar was no longer cowardly, and even when he scuffled with him.

Lin Haoran watched the two fight together, whistled, and walked back to the room proudly.

It's just that after putting things away, I sighed deeply, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It's not that I care about the position of the head of the case, but it's a pity that the twenty taels of silver.

What to do?

Lin Haoran knew that the Tang Governor's Mansion was definitely not a good official, and he was still an old fox, so it would undoubtedly be difficult for him to make himself the head of the case. It's just that he also found a weakness of this prefect, that is, he cherishes his current status.

In order to cater to the wishes of the above, he chose the unlucky day of the fourth day of the fourth month of April to start the exam; In order not to find fault with people, there are never interception questions; In order to prevent the candidates from mutiny, the second session knocked down the papers of many Maoming candidates...... This all proves that the Tang Governor is a cautious person.

The square in front of the Yamen of Gaozhou Mansion has been infected by night, but the two red lanterns hanging high in front of the mansion are brightly illuminated, and nearly 100 candidates gather there.

"Case Chief Lin, you're finally here, great!"

"Case Chief Lin, I know you have been wronged, we support you!"

"Case Chief Lin, please lead us, as long as you ascend to the heights, the students of the five counties will definitely respond!"

……

When everyone saw Lin Haoran appear, it was like being beaten with chicken blood, some people felt excited, some people comforted him, and some people encouraged him to be the leader.

This person was organized, but they found out that there was no leader in a team, which was undoubtedly a general loose sand. Now looking at Lin Haoran coming over, it is like finding the backbone.

It's just that Lin Haoran, the backbone, reacted calmly, arched his hand indifferently towards everyone, and then walked to the wall of the mansion.

"Case Chief Lin, are you afraid of affecting your future?"

"Case Chief Lin, you don't have the style of a literati, I misjudged you!"

"Case Chief Lin, I'm waiting for you to come out, but you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?"

……

Some people saw that Lin Haoran didn't have chicken blood, so they spoke out again, just hoping that this person could raise his arms and shout, and then lead everyone to capture the government and promote the prestige of the literati.

Lin Haoran smiled helplessly at these words. Although he felt sorry for the twenty taels, he would not be so irrational, so he took a brush from Zhao Dongcheng's hand and wrote four lines of words on it.

Bamboo and Stone

Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks.

Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south.

……

This is a poem that uses things to metaphorize people and support things, and it is also a poem of things.

This poem focuses on the tenacious and persistent quality of bamboo, the tenacity and tenacity of Tuoyan bamboo, and the backbone of his uprightness, integrity and unyieldingness.

It's just put here, but it's an interpretation.

In the face of "unfair treatment", Lin Haoran did not have any negativity, but stuck to his original heart - rooted in the broken rock. What if you don't point me as the head of the case, I am still strong after thousands of blows, and I still stand proudly like bamboo.

"Thank you for your love, but I'm really fine, please let everyone go!"

Lin Haoran bowed his hand to everyone, and then turned to leave, a literati's iron backbone.

"I suddenly want to cry!"

"A role model for our generation!"

"That's it, as Lin said, let's disperse! …… Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

……

All the candidates looked at Lin Haoran, who was leaving proudly, and there was a deep feeling of worship. This person is not only a talented learner, but also has such resilience, which is comparable to Zheng Shijie and others.

As Lin Haoran left, the candidates gathered in front of the government dispersed one after another, but the resentment in his heart did not dissipate, but followed the poem, and he was rooted in the broken rock.

That night, the lights of the Gaozhou Mansion were turned on until late at night, and a scribe came out to copy the poem, and then hurried back to the palace, and a sigh soon came from the signing room of the government.

The turmoil has stopped, and these students will not come back tomorrow, but they are facing bigger problems.

He didn't dare to suppress Jiang Yuebai, that was because Jiang Yuebai was a well-known talent in the entire Guangdong Province, but if he attacked Lin Haoran, there would really be no adverse consequences?
