Li Yanqing lowered his head in frustration, but he didn't expect that he would fall short in the end, and was heard by Master Yao Ding, Master! Master! Why are you so stubborn? Do you have to go against your own apprentice and pretend not to hear?

At this time, the county Cheng Ma Fu seized the opportunity and roared angrily, "You are so bold! ”

As soon as Li Yanqing looked up, he saw Ma Fu's hideous and ugly face, a pair of triangular eyes burning with hatred, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered his father, not only his bright future was ruined, but he was also poor for so many years, and his mother died because of this, and the root cause of their family's misfortune was this county.

Li Yanqing's heart also burned with anger, he simply let go, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Master can't be present during the examination, please be sure to prevent him from entering." ”

Liu Zhixian nodded, and instructed Xuezheng Yao Wannian to say: "Yao Ding roared for no reason, disrupted the debate, and drove him out of the county school!" ”

Wang Gui and Tang Huai's faces turned white with fright, Brother Qing actually wanted to drive the master out, and they had to be cramped and skinned by the master when they went back.

Although Yao Ding was extremely angry, he was persuaded out of the county school by Yao Wannian with several practitioners.

But the county Cheng Ma Fu refused to let go of Li Yanqing, he said viciously: "You dare to change the topic and cheat, destroy the Boys' Club, what a big dog, say!" Who did the good deeds? ”

Li Yanqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I came up with this question, but it is absolutely impossible to talk about the word fraud, and we have not violated the rules." ”

"You dare to talk back!"

Ma Fu slapped the table and roared, "Come on, drive them out!" ”

Several engaged in walking forward quickly to drive them away, and the three old scholars were helpless, so they could only look at them sympathetically, but the students of Tangbei Township on the opposite side were secretly happy, they were actually about to turn the tables and win.

At this moment, Liu Zhen, the magistrate of the county, suddenly waved his hand, "Wait!" ”

Several people stopped, Ma Fu was stunned for a moment, and said very dissatisfied: "Liu Zhixian won't be trying to shield them!" ”

Liu Zhen said lightly: "You were asking him just now, he answered truthfully, but you scolded him for talking back, if he didn't answer, do you want to say that he despises the Venerable?" ”

Ma Fu was pushed back all of a sudden, and after a while, he said hatefully: "But they are cheating, there is nothing wrong with this!" ”

"There is justice on the merits, and you should listen to their statements."

Liu Zhen said to Li Yanqing again: "Give you a chance to explain, say it!" ”

Li Yanqing bowed deeply, "Thank you to the county for giving the student the opportunity to make a statement, this question is indeed made by the student, according to Article 5 of the re-examination rules, the two schools will make their own questions, but there is no provision that the questions must be made by the master, the students are also a member of the school, and the students' questions are completely in line with the rules."

As for the master's reprimand just now, it was because the student did not communicate with the master in advance, but this is just an internal contradiction between the master and the apprentice, and it has nothing to do with the competition. ”

Liu Zhen nodded, "The rules of the Boys' Club were formulated by me, and when the rules were formulated, I didn't think that the master had to make the questions, but because the students had limited knowledge, they formed the practice of the master to ask questions, but the conventions are not rules, and the county feels that Li Xue's questions are not in violation of the rules." ”

He asked the three old pedants, "What do the three think?" ”

The three old scholars discussed, and the chief judge said: "Frankly speaking, this question is very clever, maybe I have too little knowledge, this is the most wonderful Shanglian I have seen so far, even I may not have thought of it, we feel that since the Boys' Association is for the selection of talents, then punishing Li Xuexue is contrary to the original intention." ”

The three old scholars didn't want to offend the county, so they expressed their opinions from the couplet itself, implicitly supporting the county.

"You don't think you should be punished, do you?" Liu Zhen is in hot pursuit, and they must show their attitude.

The three of them had to make it clear: "It really shouldn't be punished!" ”

Liu Zhen asked Yao Wannian again, "What about the attitude of learning?" ”

Yao Wannian did not evade, and said frankly: "In terms of rules alone, they did not violate the rules. ”

Ma Fu's face was red and white, Liu Zhen was obviously using the topic to play against himself, he restrained his anger, and said coldly: "Since Liu Zhixian thinks that they have not committed a foul, then I can't review it anymore, and I will quit this year's Boys' Club!" ”

He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away, leaving everyone stunned, the county and the county were stiff, and the county withdrew from the game, this kind of thing happened for the first time.

Xuezheng Yao Wannian was a little nervous and said: "County Jun, the county can't quit the Boys' Club, let his subordinates persuade him back!" ”

Liu Zhen snorted disdainfully, "Don't persuade him, let him go, tomorrow Li Guanren will come, and he promises to be more active than anyone else." ”

Liu Zhen waved his hand, "Go on!" Don't be affected. ”

Everyone sat down again, and the chief judge looked at Ji Shixiang, who was almost over, and asked, "Can Tang Beixiang come up with an answer?" ”

The four students in Tangbei Township were stunned for a while, making such a fuss, who still had the heart to do the question, the four of them discussed, even if they applied for an extension of time, it was not right, it was better to refuse to answer, let the other party solve the problem, maybe there was a glimmer of hope.

Li You got up and saluted: "Returning to the judges, we refuse to answer this question. ”

The presiding judge nodded, and said to Li Yanqing: "According to the rules, since the other party refuses to answer, you have to solve the question, if even you can't answer, or the answer is not up to standard, then the other party will score, please solve the question!" ”

Li Yanqing confidently wrote the following couplet and presented it.

Everyone hurriedly came up to look at the lower link, and saw that Li Yanqing was right about the lower link: Shulin Hanmo Hanlin Book.

Liu Zhen took the upper link again and read it twice:

Painted on the lotus monk painting,

The book is in the Hanmo Hanlin book.

"What a wonderful couplet!"

Everyone praised together, and Liu Zhen couldn't put it down, so he smiled at Li Yanqing and said, "Give me this couplet!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, "It is an honor for students to like it." ”

The presiding judge struck while the iron was hot, and immediately announced: "In the first debate of the second round, Lushan Town School won. ”

The four of them cheered and hugged each other excitedly, but the students of Tangbei Township looked gloomy, and for the first time in five years, they were defeated.

..........

Outside the door of the inn, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei knelt at the door and begged the master to calm his anger, Yao Ding did not beat them angrily, but closed the door and ignored them, they had been kneeling for two hours, and they didn't even eat dinner, Yao Ding just ignored it, and they didn't dare to get up, so they had to continue to kneel.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and I saw Tang Zhengzong walking in excitedly, and at a glance he saw the four students kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This.... What is this doing? ”

The four of them hurriedly begged him for help with their eyes, Tang Zhengzong suddenly understood, winked at them, and pretended to be angry: "You guys! The courage is too great, no wonder Master Yao is angry, if it were me, I would have to beat you up. ”

At this time, Yao Ding's voice came from the room, "Tang Langjun has something to say!" ”

Tang Zhengzong walked into the room and saw Yao Ding sitting at the table sulking, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why should Master Yao be angry with a group of children? Although they are smart, they are children after all, and they don't understand the world, and they beat the Tangbei Township School today, and it has spread in the county, and soon the fellow villagers in the county will come to the inn to congratulate them! ”

Yao Ding heard that his fellow villagers were coming to congratulate, so he had to sigh and said: "A few of them made me both happy and angry, it was really unexpected to defeat Tangbei Township School, but they secretly changed the topic and didn't say a word to me, obviously they didn't take me as a master in their eyes." ”

"Where do they dare to despise Master, in fact, they are afraid that Master Yao will not agree, they are usually people who respect Master, for the sake of them winning glory for Master, Master Yao will give them a lesson and let them remember."

Since Tang Zhengzong interceded, Yao Ding was not good at not giving him face, in fact, his anger was almost gone, he just needed to find a step, and it happened that Tang Zhengzong came.

"You four come in!"

The four of them got up and ran into the house, obediently bowed their heads and stood in front of the master, Yao Ding shouted, "Stretch out your hand." ”

The four of them stretched out their palms, and Yao Ding whipped them three times with a bamboo whip, especially five whips on Li Yanqing's palm, glaring at him fiercely.

Yao Ding angrily reprimanded them again: "Do you think that Master is an old-fashioned person who does not know how to be flexible? If the apprentice comes up with a good topic, will the master be unhappy? You're underestimating me! ”

Li Yanqing said ashamedly: "The student knows that he is wrong. ”

Yue Fei also hurriedly said, "Students shouldn't hide from Master. ”

Wang Gui and Tang Huai also bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, and Yao Ding said again: "I punish you because you disrespect the master, although it is not your intention, but you did it, I didn't teach you before, but today I want you to understand, do you remember?" ”

"We remember!"

"This time for the sake of your Uncle Tang, spare you once, and if you dare to commit it next time, I will expel you from the school and cut off the master-apprentice relationship, thank Uncle Tang quickly, go to dinner!"

Everyone thanked Tang Zhengzong and ran to the front yard to eat.

Tang Zhengzong looked at them and walked away, and then said to Yao Ding: "I just got a notice from the county government that tomorrow the governor Li Daguan will arrive, and the magistrate will go to greet them, and tomorrow will have a day off, and the finals will be held the day after tomorrow." ”
