There was silence in the examination booth at the moment.

Taken in the majesty of Zhouzhi County, everyone did not dare to raise their heads.

Those who have already seen things know from the beginning that the so-called openness and honesty of Zhou Zhixian are actually for fishing. Poor Zhao Zhiyuan thought that he had bitten the bait, and he was stupidly hooked. The majesty of a county, how can it allow provocation, if the lawsuit is successful, where is the prestige of a dignified county.

Privately creating public opinion and trying to influence the county's trial recruitment is already ambiguous and challenging the bottom line of Zhouzhi County. If the matter hadn't gotten out, Zhou Zhixian might have worried about it, and would drop Lin Yanchao's ranking and calm it down. But when the matter gets bigger, it becomes a provocation of the magistrate's power and a vain attempt to kidnap public opinion.

It was only then that the county knew that Lin Yanchao's participation in the government examination was a signal. Didn't you say he attacked the article? But the official chose him as the top ten, and then tried to create public opinion and coerce the official! See who says in the end.

The people who were reading at the scene, their brains turned quickly, and they all figured this out, and they couldn't help but be fortunate that they didn't stand up.

Zhou Zhixian said with a cold expression: "You said that Lin Yanchao attacked the article, did he tell you, or did you guess it yourself?" This county trial has not been released, you don't have real evidence, and you also went to the government to post a complaint? ‘

'I really didn't have a late life. Zhao Zhiyuan said with a sad face.

"It's not you, it's also the other people present who do it, the ranking is not good, and you don't ask for yourself, but you want to pull others off the horse, this is the ambition of you and other scholars?"

Zhou Zhixian's eyes swept over the candidates in the hall, and everyone knew that Zhou Zhixian was going to take advantage of this matter this time.

When Zhou Zhixian's eyes swept to Yin Siyuan, he was slightly cold.

Yin Siyuan touched the other party's eyes, and was intimidated by the official authority of Zhou Zhixian, and his legs suddenly weakened with fright.

Yin Siyuan knelt down with a puff, and said bitterly: "Master Hui County, I don't know anything about this matter in my later life." We're just talking about it in private, and if we really want to sue, we won't go later, and it's not a big grudge. It's Zhao Zhiyuan, this time it was he who stirred up public opinion among the candidates and walked around to make a statement. He must have done the anonymous posting. ”

Yin Siyuan spoke with resentment, if I hadn't listened to your provocation beforehand, would I have been on the boat? It's all up to you for now.

Zhao Zhiyuan also knelt on the ground and cried: "Old parents, give a hundred guts to the late life, and the late life will not dare to go up and say that you are not." There must be other details on this matter! ”

Zhao Zhiyuan said as he said, his body trembled and said in his heart, which candidate who was as jealous of Lin Yanchao as himself would do this. It's stupid. It's not so harmful, it's just too unprofessional.

At this time, a candidate stood up and said: "I still said no, I saw with my own eyes that day in the restaurant, you threatened Brother Han like this, saying that if he didn't withdraw from the county exam, you would go to the government office and post the Dao." And now it's clean? ”

Zhao Zhiyuan recognized that the name of the candidate who stood up and accused him was Zhou Zongcheng. Others privately guessed that this person was a relative of Zhou Zhi County. That day, this person was helping himself. dealt with the scholar surnamed Han, but today he came to the well.

Zhou Zhixian asked knowingly: "Who is this Brother Han?" ”

Zhou Zongcheng sang and said: "This Brother Han was just lucky to be in the county test for a four-book question, and accidentally said it in the restaurant. As a result, Zhao Zhiyuan was jealous, saying that this person did not want to make progress, and only knew how to attack the article. also went to the government office to mention the Tao and put on the post. Brother Han was iron-clad, but he couldn't get angry about it, so he withdrew from the county test. ”

"It's obviously not like this......" Zhao Zhiyuan just wanted to speak.

Zhou Zhixian said: "I see, I thought that this person gave up the exam halfway, it turned out to be this reason." Ben was almost kept in the dark. ”

Zhao Zhiyuan cried and said with a sad face: "I didn't, I just said it casually, scared and scared him, I really didn't post it." ”

Zhou Zhixian said at this time: "It doesn't matter if you post or not." But you threatened the candidates and made them withdraw from the exam, but they didn't expect that there would be such a vicious person as you among the candidates. ”

Zhou Zhixian stopped drinking, and the candidates were silent. Everyone is a reader who knows the meaning of the string, and knows that this sentence must be understood in reverse.

It is crucial to post or not, and it doesn't matter if you threaten the candidate and make him withdraw from the exam. There are such people among the candidates, don't blame the official for being vicious.

Zhou Zhixian's voice was fierce, and Zhao Zhiyuan lay on the ground and couldn't say a word.

"Someone will cut this vicious candidate and beat him with ten rods to set an example, and this exam will be invalidated, and he will not be allowed to go to the county for three years."

Zhou Zhixian gave an order, and the two fierce officials, one on the left and one on the right, were like chickens, and lifted Zhao Zhiyuan's whole person from the ground.

"Old parents, you can't beat me, you can't beat me, I'm a scholar, you are insulting like this!" Zhao Zhiyuan said while struggling.

Zhou Zhixian sneered: "If you are a talent, of course this official will have to ask and learn the Tao before he can punish you, but you are not even a child at the moment, and you are just a grass-headed common man under the rule of this official, and it is not insulting to beat you!" ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this Zhao Zhiyuan is really dizzy, under the stick, he is still messing around, he is really dead.

Zhou Zhiyuan wailed continuously, he was on the regimental case, and he had actually stepped into the door of the government test. But Zhou Zhixian deprived him of all his efforts for more than ten years.

Even if a scholar is full of wealth, he will not be able to get ahead without going through the imperial examination.

Zhou Zongcheng said solemnly on the side: "This kind of scum, I am really ashamed to be in the company, the county lord is really happy with this move!" ”

After Zhou Zongcheng said this, none of the other candidates on the side wanted to end up like Zhao Zhiyuan, and they also said: "That's right, why didn't I see that he was such a villain." ”

"This person is a black sheep and must be eliminated."

"I can't have such a scholar in Houguan County."

After a few candidates said, everyone scolded as if they had voted for their names, lest Zhou Zhixian regard themselves as Zhao Zhiyuan's comrades, and you must know that the person who posted anonymously has not yet been found.

Lin Yanchao listened to the sarcasm in his heart, but these people had to look at their own jokes. Unexpectedly, under Zhou Zhixian's rubbing and rubbing, his position became so fast, and he beat Zhao Zhiyuan, a water dog.

Yes!

The screams sounded from afar, and Zhao Zhiyuan was already eating the board.

At this moment, he was extremely remorseful in his heart, for Zhou Zhixian, Lin Yanchao's resentment in his heart was okay, what he really hated was the person who anonymously posted to the government to learn the Tao. If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Zhao Zhiyuan hated it in his heart, he could have passed the county test steadily.

Retracting his gaze from a distance, Zhou Zhixian looked at Yin Siyuan and Chen Daolin again. The two of them also trembled in their legs.

The two of them said together: 'Ignorant in his later life, he was bewitched by Zhao Zhiyuan, and his parents were gracious. ‘

Zhou Zhixian nodded and said: "The two of you, forget it, the board can be exempted, but the county must be a person with excellent character and learning, and the two of you have talent but no quality, so come back next year!" ”

Yin Siyuan, Chen Daolin didn't dare to say anything, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach: "Yes." ”

The candidates on the deputy list of this order were all overjoyed, it turned out that he only hoped that from the top fifty, only Lin Yanchao would be pulled down, and the two scholars surnamed Han would get off the horse, but this time Zhou Zhixian dropped three in one go.

In other words, for candidates on the sub-list, there are three more places. At present, the candidates who were still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Zhixian suddenly became grateful to Zhou Zhixian from the bottom of their hearts.

"The old parents are fair and strict!"

"This is really fair!"

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but praise, Zhou Zhixian did a good job, the grace and power were all out of his own, and he did not allow others to be involved in the slightest domineering above the power, this is a qualified official of the seal, at this point Zhou Zhixian did not let himself down, otherwise his previous layout would have become a joke.

Even if he doesn't like Zhou Zhixian, he still has to learn more from Zhou Zhixian in the way of being an official.

Walking out of the examination room, the candidates of the same subject who had been waiting for themselves to be mocking all left quietly. However, a few people asked themselves before, and they hadn't offended Lin Yanchao, and they came up to congratulate them.

'Brother Lin, I am glad to be recommended by the Osprey. ‘

"Brother Lin, as soon as I entered the examination room, I knew that you were not a thing in the pool. ‘

"Brother Lin, everyone will be in the same case in the future, and everyone will support each other." ‘

Lin Yanchao smiled and agreed, not losing a little courtesy. After everyone left, Zhang Haoyuan walked to Lin Yanchao, and couldn't help laughing and mocking: "Yanchao, these people originally wanted to see your jokes, but now they are all here to congratulate you, it's really a hot and cold world." ‘

'The world is hot and cold, how to say it is also a way to protect oneself, this is the sorrow of others for the sword, and we for the fish and meat. Lin Yanchao sighed.

Zhang Haoyuan smiled and said: "You are really, the county has tried, and I don't see how happy you are, but I sigh here for what spring and autumn." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It is precisely because I have to sigh in the Spring and Autumn Period that I know how to go on the road, why do I wait for the county exam?" It's not the future that you will be able to cut meat with your own knife. ”

"Don't worry, Yanchao, you will eventually have a bitter daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law one day."

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "You are making fun of me, but no matter what, I finally passed the county test." ‘

Lin Yanchao raised his head and looked at the sky, but saw that the sunset covered the sky.

"Well, it's going to be a good day tomorrow."

"How do you know?"

"You don't even know that? The morning glow doesn't go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles! ”

"By the way, to the government office, mention the Taoist yamen, write an anonymous letter, it won't let people see the flaws!"

"Yanchao, you are too cautious, how many times have you asked this, and you have said that it reassures you."

"Heh, there's nothing wrong with being careful."

The county test came to an end three days later, and although there were three more places, Zhang Haoyuan finally stood out from the sub-list, won the top 50, and finally returned to Hongtang Township with Hou Zhongshu.

Huang Biyou barely passed the county exam with the results of the crane tail, and participated in the government exam a month later with Lin Yanchao. (To be continued......)
