Xu Jin and others arrived at the county office, and the climax of watching the list had passed at this time, but there were still nearly 100 people in front of the bulletin board.

"Hey, isn't that the head of the case, Xu Jin?"

"Look, the head of the case Xu is here, look at the demeanor of the people, it really deserves to be the head of the case."

As soon as Xu Jin appeared, he immediately attracted attention, and his classmates from Xinjiang Academy gathered around to say congratulations: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for winning the first place in the county trial." ”

Xu Jin responded all the way.

Han Chuang laughed and said, "It seems that this puffer fish banquet can't run away." ”

Xu Jinxing looked up in front of the bulletin board, and sure enough, he saw that his name was written at the top of the list, and the county test case was in the bag.

Nearly 1,000 people in the county referred to the county test, and they actually won the first place.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Xu for winning the first place in the case and going straight through the hospital exam!" Wei Yang congratulated with a smile.

Fei Maozhong laughed and said: "Then the college exam in August this year will be lively." ”

The college examination is the last level of the children's examination, and after passing the college examination, you can obtain the fame of talent and become a formal student. The college examination is held twice every three years, and is divided into two types: annual examination and subject examination.

For students who have already achieved the fame of Xiucai, the annual examination is just an ordinary annual assessment and has nothing to do with fame, but the scientific examination is different, and the results of the scientific examination determine whether they are eligible to participate in the township examination held in the second year.

And this year's college examination happens to be a scientific examination, so Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang are also going to participate, plus Fei Maoxian is also going to participate in the college examination to test Xiucai, so the five people present, except for Han Chuang, the other four are eligible to participate in the college examination in August.

If Han Chuang wants to participate in the college examination in August, he must first pass the government examination to be held in April. Needless to say, Xu Jin is the head of the county examination, and the government examination is a must, so it is equivalent to having obtained the qualification for the hospital examination.

"Congratulations to Case Chief Xu!"

At this time, Cai Yue and Li Yingjun squeezed over from the crowd to say hello to Xu Jin, but the former was a little depressed, and it was estimated that he had fallen off the list.

Xu Jin arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Ziyu, I am happy!" ”

Li Yingjun ranked last in the first round case, and the ups and downs in the next few games, and the final overall score ranking continued to be the tail of the crane, and he narrowly passed the county test, but he was a lucky one, so he was in a very good mood at the moment.

Han Chuang patted Cai Yue on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yuanhao, why should you be frustrated, who didn't take the county exam a few times, I also took the exam twice back then, oh, Xu insisted that this demon was an exception." Let's go, Linjiang Lou will eat puffer fish, and Xu will be the first to treat! ”

Cai Yue smiled when he heard this: "The first guest of the Xu case is invited, so you must be cheered!" ”

Everyone was about to leave, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Impossible, there is definitely a shady scene, Xu Jin cannot be the head of the case." ”

Everyone followed the prestige in unison, only to see Li Chen standing in front of the list and shouting like crazy, and tried to step forward to tear off the red list, but was stopped by two yacha, and the people around him retreated one after another.

"Ouch, isn't this the one who claimed before the exam that he was the one who was the case? Now that I've only got the fourth, I'm angry! Cai Yuexian failed the test, because he was in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but ridicule when he saw this.

Li Chen snorted and sneered: "Cai Yuanhao, you haven't even passed the county test, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me, go aside!" ”

Cai Yue's face suddenly turned red, and Li Yingjun saw that his friend was insulted, so he hurriedly helped: "Li Chen, Xu Jin is the head of the county's family, you shouted that there is a shady scene, so do you mean that the county lord is favoritism?" ”

Li Chen sneered: "Li Yingjun, this is what you said yourself, in short, with the level of Xu Jin's article, it is impossible to be the head of the case." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help frowning!

Fei Maozhong said angrily: "Li Chen, it's not interesting to mess around, this is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Wei Yang nodded and said: "Evening Zhao, Senior Brother Xu's talent and learning are well known, the first two routine examinations are in the forefront of my Xinjiang Academy, and it is well deserved to take the first place in the county examination." ”

Han Chuang said with a smile: "Some people said before the county test that they would take the case, but unfortunately they only got the fourth, so they were annoyed and embarrassed, which is understandable!" ”

Li Chen's face turned red and white for a while when he was ridiculed, and said angrily: "Han Shoucheng, you fart, whoever wins the case can't be Xu Jin, everyone knows that he only entered the school last year, how can he win the case first, besides, in the previous routine examinations of the academy, Xu Jin's ranking is below me." He took off the head of the case, and I, Li Chen, were not convinced! ”

As soon as these words came out, the scholars around them all showed a look of deep thought, and at this time, one of them came out with a folding fan and said: "What Brother Wanzhao said is very true, I think that at the cold meeting of Xinjiang Academy that day, the mountain chief once made it clear in public that he asked the county lord to point Xu Jin as the head of the case, and everyone knows about it!" ”

This bag shaking a folding fan is Guo Wencai's goods, and he looked at this side with a proud face at this time.

Xu Jin's face couldn't help but sink, the mountain chief did say this at the cold meeting that day, although everyone knew that this was just a joke, but after all, it was said, and it was indeed very unfavorable to himself.

When Li Chen saw that someone supported him, he suddenly became even more emboldened, and said loudly: "Everyone present has heard that Xu Jin is only good at writing poems and has some skills for pairs, but the article is a mess, and it is impossible to win the first case." ”

Fei Maozhong sneered: "Li Chen, you say so much just to say that the county lord is favoritism, if you are a gentleman, you will say it bluntly, why insinuate, if you have the guts, you can ask the county lord to publish the test paper for review, instead of inciting here with ulterior motives." ”

"That's right, if it's a man, he will ask for a review and publish the top ten case files, which is better and which is worse, at a glance!"

The students around all shouted one after another, some people really couldn't get used to Li Chen's nonsense, and more people were suspicious, of course, some people harbored evil intentions, because no matter what the results of the investigation afterwards were, either Li Chen's grades were invalid, or Xu Jin's grades were invalid, which was equivalent to vacating a place, and if the quota was vacant, wouldn't the people behind have a chance to make up for it?

Under the sneers of the people around him, Li Chen's face became more and more swollen and redder, he just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, but at this time, he was stimulated by everyone, and his blood suddenly surged, but finally he still retained a trace of reason, and it is very serious to question the county respect's favoritism, if it is verified that Xu Jin's results are indeed the head of the case, then he will be recoiled, and at the same time that the county test results are invalid, I am afraid that he will be punished with a cane, and the key is to offend the county honor, and it will be difficult to think about the county test in the future.

"Brother Li, Xu Jin's results in the previous routine exams are not as good as yours, and even you only got fourth, how could he take the top of the case, there is definitely a shady scene!" Guo Wencai continued to fan the flames.

Li Chen gritted his teeth, and actually walked to the county office, picked up the drumstick, and vigorously knocked the drum in front of the door.

Knock knock knock......

As soon as the drum sounded, the scene suddenly boiled.

In the county yazhongtang, after Liu Qingyuan, the magistrate of the county, sat on the case in an official uniform, he said with a cold face: "Li Chen, this county test is based on a vague name system, and you really decided to appeal and review." ”

Rao is Liu Qingyuan is an official and upright, but he is suspected of favoritism, and no one will have a good face, not to mention that this county test adopts a vague name system, and no one knows who the paper is when marking the papers.

Li Chen knelt in front of the hall, facing the pressure of the magistrate, he already regretted it a little, but if he retreated at this time, he would not want to raise his head in front of his classmates in the future, and his reputation would be discredited, which would have an extremely unfavorable impact on his future taxi career.

"The students don't believe that Xu Jin's talent level can take the lead in the case, please ask the county lord to review and publish the top ten test papers!" Li Chen gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Qingyuan nodded and said lightly: "Then it will be as you wish!" ”

All the candidates' papers, as well as the used scratch paper, are uniformly sealed in the Confucian Department, just for the convenience of future reference, so after Liu Qingyuan signed, soon there were Confucian officials to call out the top ten test papers of the county examination, and the test papers of each session were placed in different categories, and everyone present could read them.

Li Chen couldn't wait to find a comparison between his test paper and Xu Jin's test paper, and he was still unconvinced at first, but after reading Xu Jin's article, he was silent, and in the end, his face began to turn pale.

"The article on the first game of the first county trial of the Xu case is really wonderful, and the next four games are also remarkable, and it deserves to be the first!"

"Yes, in this comparison, Li Chen's article is indeed a lot inferior, at least the second place is better than him, I think this ranking is very fair!"

"Hey, this time Li Chen is miserable, falsely accused and slandered, and his crime is reversed!"

After reading the volume, the scholars began to talk about it!

Liu Qingyuan said coldly: "Li Chen, do you have any objections after reading the test paper?" ”

Li Chen's face turned pale, and he fell to his knees: "The student is reckless, there is no objection!" ”

Liu Qingyuan nodded and said: "People come, Li Chen despises his own officials, falsely accuses his classmates, beats him with thirty sticks in front of the court, cancels the results of this county examination, and is not allowed to participate in the county examination within two years!" ”

This severe punishment suddenly made the four people shudder!

It's not that Liu Qingyuan has a personal vendetta, it's really that this trend can't last, if it is not severely punished, if everyone asks for a review at will like Li Chen in the future, then what authority does the chief examiner have.

Li Chen was pressed down by the officials on the spot, and thirty sticks went down, and the skin and flesh were rotten in an instant, and the chrysanthemums were bloody!

Guo Wencai originally wanted to sneak away, but as soon as he retreated, he was stopped by the officials, because the goods were lit by the wind before, and the gossip confused the public, and he was also ordered by the county to punish the twenty sticks, so the screams like killing pigs came and went.

……

……

"Haha, it's really happy, Li Chen and Guo Wencai screamed again and again, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of bed for half a month. When the big white floats, the second smaller, serve two pots of wine first!"

Xu Jin and the others arrived at Linjiang Building and asked for a seat on the second floor, Cai Yue was still unsatisfied, and shouted loudly for the store to serve wine.

It's no wonder Cai Yuanhao is so excited, because Li Chen's county test results were canceled, and the following ones were made up in turn, coincidentally, Cai Yue happened to be the fifty-first, and the result was the fiftieth.
