Regarding Lu Zheng's failure to make the list, this matter was handled by Zhang Chengxi himself, and the exam papers were changed by him personally, and it is impossible for anything to go wrong.

This matter is strictly confidential, and in addition to the parties concerned, only two people know, Zhang Mu and Mrs. Su.

However, Zhang Chengxi secretly has a very obvious hint to the juniors of the Zhang family, and this hint is actually very simple, as long as the juniors know that he is in control of everything.

Since Zhang Chengxi is in control of everything, Lu Zheng's fate is naturally in his control, standing in his position, how can Lu Zheng be allowed to come out?

This is also the reason why the descendants of the Zhang family are all jubilant today, but no one mentions Lu Zheng, Zhang Chengxi must have done something in the county examination, but so what? The winner is defeated, on the day of today's release, everyone will only remember the winner, and will only cheer for the winner, Lu Zheng is the loser, who will pay attention to him?

Zhang Jing jumped out to complain for Lu Zheng is just a small episode, and it will not affect the overall situation today.

Besides, Zhang Jing's current status in the Zhang family is only a little higher than Lu Zheng's, and in the eyes of the old lady, Zhang Jing's grandson doesn't really matter much if he is not there.

Zhang Jing was ignored, and the atmosphere became warm again, Tian Zepeng is the son-in-law of the Zhang family! This time, the two children of the Zhang family are on the list, and Tian Zepeng won the first place, it can be said that this time the first show of the boy's test is in the Zhang family, where can the atmosphere not be warm?

Zhang Chengxi also thought that there were fewer firecrackers, so let people prepare more firecrackers, Zhang Jing and Hua Hanyun were invited to the front, and the people who reported the good news arrived later, and they were responsible for giving the silver reward!

The old lady said: "The reward will be doubled!" Before, the old lady gave a reward of ten taels of silver per person, doubling it was twenty taels of silver per person, if four or five people came to report the good news, Zhang Jing would be one hundred taels of silver!

Zhang Jing's face was ugly, he was uncomfortable buying one for one hundred taels of silver, he was not in a good mood when he bought one, and he was not happy to change anyone. But he was not happy and didn't care about anything else, and the people around him were all around him!

In this cheerful atmosphere, the sound of gongs came from the street outside.

"Coming, coming, coming this way, the good news is coming!" The little guy at the gate of the courtyard shouted loudly.

From the main gate of the Zhang family to the courtyard of the old lady, there were people standing, so that from the outermost level to the courtyard of the Zhang family, the atmosphere in the courtyard reached the climax.

"Hurry up and prepare, everyone is in place, listen to it, and when the good news arrives, as soon as the gong sounds, the firecrackers will sound! Don't be too late! Zhang Chengxi personally arranged it.

Those who set off firecrackers, those who wore saffron, and those who gave silver rewards were all in place, and then everyone waited eagerly, waiting for the good news to come.

Generally, the good news is three to five people, and the first of the good news is more than five people, in fact, this is not fixed, generally speaking, the larger the team, the greater the joy, which is accurate.

The team of the annunciation had just entered from the main entrance, and everyone listened attentively, and at first glance there were as many as seven or eight gongs.

"Yes, yes, yes! There are seven or eight gongs! The girl beside the old lady said incense.

The old lady nodded slightly, unable to sit still, and slowly stood up, she held the dragon's head cane in her hand, her waist was straight, and her eyes were looking out.

The people who reported the good news came quickly, and countless servants of the Zhang family surrounded them together.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! "The sound of the gong is getting closer and closer, and it has reached the gate of the courtyard.

Someone outside shouted: "Good news, good news, good news, great joy, great joy!" ”

Then, several people who struck the gong rushed directly into the old lady's courtyard, and now everyone saw clearly, there were ten gongs!

"Coax!" The audience applauded, everyone was ready, and the followers around Tian Zepeng had already pushed him to the front, and the big red flower was already hanging around his neck.

Ten gongs arrived, and a few rounds were struck in the open space, and the leader was about thirty years old, five short in stature, but born with a strong physique, full of energy.

He shouted loudly: "Good news, great joy, the son of Lu Zheng of Zhangfu has won the first place in the county test, and the county respects the relatives as the first in the county test!" ”

"Okay!"

The cheers rang out immediately, and the old lady raised her crutches, and suddenly one arm froze in mid-air as if she had been bitten by a snake.

Then Zhang Chengxi was originally full of smiles, but suddenly it seemed to be frozen in an instant, and it all froze on his face. Tian Zepeng's followers had already lifted Tian Zepeng up, ready to throw it into the air to celebrate, but suddenly heard the word "Lu Zheng", and they were all dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Do some ......"

Zhang Haoran was the first to rush out for verification, he grabbed the placket of the leader with one hand, his face was blue, and he was about to speak loudly, at this time, "bang"! "Bang!" ……

Dare to love the firecrackers outside, good guys, firecrackers plus firecrackers, there are seven or eight small houses with firecrackers alone, and firecrackers outside are spread all over the compound.

This explosion caused the entire yard to be wrapped in smoke, and the loud noise made it difficult to hear what the other party was saying when shouting heart-rending between people in the yard.

When several people who reported the good news saw this kind of battle, they did not suspect him, but they only felt that the master's family was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to ask for good money.

Zhang Jing also heard the words Lu Zheng, he grabbed the silver ticket in his hand, stuffed it into the hand of the guy who reported the good news, and shouted into his ear: "Did you just say that Lu Zheng was the first to be killed?" ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, and shouted at Zhang Jing: "Who else can it be if it's not Lu Zheng's son?" Our county Lu Zheng's son is the first in fame and the first in talent, and he deserves to be the first in the case! ”

Zhang Jing stomped his feet fiercely, took out all the silver tickets that had been prepared a long time ago, and shouted loudly: "Come one by one, there are rewards, and there are many rewards!" ”

Hua Hanyun was standing beside him, and when she heard another accurate confirmation, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.

"Oh my God, what's going on? What means did Brother Zheng use? Isn't everything under control for the second uncle?

Listening to the second uncle's tone, he must have done something on the test papers, or he must have bought someone to change the papers, otherwise how could he control the situation?

But now ...... Hua Hanyun's mind turned a hundred times, but he couldn't think of how Lu Zheng turned the tables.

However, looking at Zhang Jing's stuffed money for the good news, she also had a lot of silver in her purse, so she immediately drew a few casually, and without looking at the denomination on it, she stuffed it into a few of them.

The firecrackers outside exploded a little too much, and they couldn't stop for a while, and the people who reported the good news collected the money, and they were still in a hurry for the next one, so they turned around and ran.

Zhang Chengxi stood up and went to stop, he grabbed a person, the others didn't stop at all, a group of people beat the gong and rushed directly to the outside of Zhang's house, and when they got to the street, they finally shouted:

"The son of the Zhang family and Lu Zheng has won the first place in the county trial!"

On the street near Zhang's house, pedestrians stopped when they heard the shouting, and people who didn't know the inside story couldn't help muttering: "Oh, this is a bit interesting, shouldn't the Zhang family be Zhang Gongzi?" Why is it Lu Gongzi? Could it be that this surname Zhang and the surname Lu are mixed together? ”

"It's nothing unusual, the Zhang family's own disciples have never been good at studying, this Lu Gongzi is from Jiangning, he is from the family of the Three Princes, and he was born with Wenqu Xing, but I didn't expect the Zhang family to be stained with his light now, and there is one more talent in the portal!"

All kinds of discussions revolve around Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng is a well-known talent in Yangzhou, and there are many people who know him, and soon the news spread, and the news that Lu Zheng won the first place in the county trial spread all over the city.

And in the courtyard of the old lady of the Zhang family, the firecrackers outside the yard finally stopped, and the firecrackers put off a few teas, the firecrackers did not go off, and there was no sound in the yard.

Zhang Chengxi caught a person who reported the good news, and the other party saw Zhang Chengxi in an official uniform, a little confused, and didn't know what was going on.

He observed his words and looks, and saw that the expressions of everyone in the courtyard were a little abnormal, and he chuckled in his heart, thinking that it was a bad news?

"Dare to ask, doesn't Lu Zheng and Lu Gongzi live in Zhang's Mansion? Lu Gongzi topped the county exam list in high school, this is a great joy! The little young man who announces the good news said loudly.

Zhang Chengxi gasped and said angrily: "This ...... That's impossible! ”

This young man's sentence confirmed that the previous annunciation was not nonsense, but this sentence directly dealt Zhang Chengxi a fatal blow, and he couldn't believe it was true at all.

How is this possible? He has replaced all of Lu Zheng's test papers, and the test papers he replaced are bound to fail, how could Lu Zheng become the head of the case instead?

It was beyond his knowledge, and he couldn't believe it was true.

And the old lady was completely stunned, and Mrs. Su also opened her mouth wide, this is really incredible, why is this?

"Haha, good! Okay, Lu Zheng's son is young and talented, and he has long been well-known in Yangzhou, and today he can be personally appointed by the county lord as the head of the case, and he deserves it, and he deserves it! Wu Fu suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master Zhang, congratulations, you have a good nephew! Mrs. Zhang, congratulations, you also have a good nephew. I really didn't expect that the first show of our Xinhe County's children's test this year was in Zhangfu, which is a great joy! ”

Wu Fuqi is extraordinary, with a smile on his face, he has lived in officialdom for a long time, and his acting is definitely at the level of an actor, he knows that Zhang Chengxi is stunned now, but he does not hesitate to sprinkle a few more handfuls of salt on Zhang Chengxi's wound.

"Lord Zhang, don't be too happy, the little brother who reported the good news will make a fortune today by relying on this matter, and you can't keep others!" Wu Fudao.

Zhang Chengxi glared at Wu Fu fiercely, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, but reason told him that he must not do that, this is the Zhang family, the Zhang family is such a big wealthy family, everything can be lost, but it must not be decent.

But the surnamed Wu sprinkled salt on his wound, Zhang Chengxi was in pain!

"What can't you keep? Isn't it just delaying his happy money? Little brother, this is one hundred taels, as long as you promise to stay in my Zhang family today, this one hundred taels will be yours! To stay? Zhang Jing waved a hundred taels of silver and gave it to the little brother who reported the good news.

"Stay, stay! Don't say stay for a day, I'm willing to stay for a month! The little brother was overjoyed, accepted Zhang Jing's silver, and immediately decided not to leave.

"Poof!" Zhang Chengxi really squirted out a mouthful of old blood directly, is Zhang Jing really a pig?
