Chapter 217: Red Veil
The Teochew Hall also learned the truth.
This matter has to start with the fraud case, because the candidates who participated in the examination this time were involved in the case, so these people are not qualified to participate in the examination, so naturally they cannot obtain the fame of tribute.
For the sake of face, the imperial court naturally can't let these "criminals" be on the list, and at the same time, it can't let them occupy the quota.
It was precisely because of this that the Holy Lord made a decision, in order to prevent new fraud cases, only one decree was sent to enter the Tribute Yuan Caution Hall, and the inner curtain official selected four hundred tribute soldiers.
After the 400 test papers are released, the list will be revealed according to the previous process, but there is one more job, but all the candidates involved in the case will be removed from the list.
Since most of the candidates involved in the case are in the southern volume, the actual candidates in the southern volume are used as the benchmark, that is, accounting for 55% of the total number of admissions, and then the number of tributes in the northern volume and the middle volume is excluded accordingly.
After checking, there are a total of 22 candidates on the list in Fujian and Nanzhili who need to be eliminated, so the number of candidates recorded in the southern volume is 198, so a total of 360 candidates will be admitted in this Enke examination.
Adhering to the admission ratio of tribute students in the north and south volumes, both the northern and middle volumes need to be eliminated, so the number of students recorded in the north volume is reduced to 126, and the number of students in the middle volume is reduced to 36.
The solution formulated by the imperial court for fraud in the township examination is undoubtedly a great thing for the people who participated in the examination.
There are six more tributes in the middle volume, twenty-one more tributes in the north volume, and thirty-three more tributes in the southern volume. Since the people involved in the case are Fujian and Zhinanli of the southern volume, the candidates from Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong are undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries.
In particular, Guangdong has always been pressed by Fujian and Zhinanli, and now the new imperial examination people in these two places have been eliminated, and the number of places has increased by 33 for no reason.
It is precisely because of this that these 300 non-Japanese tribute students are effective, and they are the biggest "beneficiaries" of these township test fraud cases.
"If it weren't for the three mighty and unyielding, and helped us clear up the suspicion, not to mention the Gongshi this time, I'm afraid that I would lose my reputation like the students of Fujian and Nanzhili, so please accept it!"
After Zhang Yishan and the others learned the truth, they solemnly saluted Lin Haoran, Ning Jiang, and Yang Futian.
This time, they not only avoided a disaster, but also got a blessing and changed the fate of those who fell off the list. In particular, their strength is not strong, and they will not be able to win the tribute this time, and it is very likely that they will not be able to achieve this fame for the rest of their lives.
Now that they are lucky enough to encounter such a great good thing, how can they not be grateful to Lin Haoran and others?
Yang Futian stood up and pointed to his nose, and asked suspiciously, "Should I sit or worship?" ”
When everyone heard this, they laughed.
After entering the 300 people, the Chaozhou Hall suddenly stopped, at least the liveliness was weaker than that of the Jiangxi Hall, and the sound of fireworks there was obviously more frequent.
"Good news Guangdong Guangzhou master, Zhang Zhiwei, the one hundred and eighth tribute in the high school Wuwu branch examination, the saint of the Jinluan Palace!"
……
In the blink of an eye, it was almost a hundred.
Things can't be perfect, and all the thirty-nine people here can't be tributary. Seeing that Zhang Wei got the good news, and the list came to the top 100, some people were already completely dead.
The examination brings together the best readers in the country, how easy is it to squeeze into the top 100?
Many people who fell off the list were not too sad, after all, they had this speculation before, and their strength had long been placed here. This time I chose to go north to take the exam, but in fact, it was just to go through a general exam and give myself an explanation.
It was this idea that Wang Ziming embraced, a little disappointed, but not sad. And he has already decided that he will report to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow and be a lifting officer with peace of mind.
What made him feel relieved was that although he failed to get the jinshi this time, he got a friendship and formed a friendship with at least ten jinshi. Especially here, there is also a genius who is only seventeen years old, and he feels that this person is likely to become the leader of the Guangdong Township Party in the future.
"Good news Guangdong Chaozhou master, Ning Zhijiang, the forty-ninth tribute in the high school Wuwu branch examination, the saint above the Jinluan Palace!"
……
Another piece of good news came from afar, making Ning Jiang, who was so nervous that his palms were sweating, also let go of the big stone in his heart.
Without the arrogance of a young man, he thanked everyone present one by one. Since I met Lin Hao, this sullen boy has also suffered some blows, and he seems to be calmer.
With the best few lifters winning the tribute, the thirty-eight lifters in the lobby also looked at Lin Haoran. Because everyone already understands that all those who should have won have been selected, and those who have not been selected are destined to fall off the list, leaving only Lin Haoran's last good news.
Time passed second by second, and the fireworks at the Jiangxi Hall next door had already gone off for several rounds, and the latest news was that it had also been reported to the tenth place.
"It should be in the top five, right?"
Lin Haoran estimated the progress of the annunciation, and couldn't help but get nervous, and picked up the teacup and moistened his lips.
Although he is very confident in Zhongde Gongshi, it is just that now that the good news has been in the top ten for so long, there is still no movement. Who knows, will there be any changes in vain, he is actually a loser?
"Haha...... Brother Lin, I'm nervous! Yang Futian suddenly pointed at him and smiled.
"Who said I was nervous!" For the sake of face, Lin Haoran glared at him fiercely.
"Aren't you nervous? Then why do you serve my teacup? Yang Futian pointed to the teacup in his hand and sneered proudly.
Lin Haoran was stunned, looked down and saw that it was really the case.
"If I'm Brother Lin, I have to be nervous!"
"Every time the list is from low to high, it's really torture for a genius like Brother Lin!"
"Heaven descends on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... This is a person like Brother Lin! ”
……
Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to make fun of Lin Haoran, and anyone at this time will have this kind of reaction. This is not only a matter of middle and wrong, but also a world of difference between high school and failing to make the list.
But at this moment, the monkey who had been arranged to wait for news at the mouth of the alley ran back, pointed outside and complained loudly: "The stage has been erected, but the rope they pulled will seal the aisle." ”
"How can this be true? I'm going to reason with them! ”
Hearing the news, Yang Futian and the others immediately walked out together, but saw that the curtain on the stage had been pulled up, and long ropes were pulled from the upper left to the lower right to be fixed, and those ropes were blocked in the aisle like flying rainbows.
Laugh at! Laugh at!
But at this moment, a fast horse came from the opposite side, and a sharp blade cut the long rope. Each knife was so decisive and fierce, and as the long ropes were cut, the red curtains fell one after another, like a beautiful girl unveiling the red veil.
