Zheng Chongsen, is the best friend of Qiu Yan's predecessor, the two have a good relationship, after the incident in Zuoqu Village, Qiu Yan's life and death are unknown, and this Zheng Chongsen has also hung in the air.

Two years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne, opened Enke, Zheng Chongsen packed up, and also came to Jiannan City to participate in the township test, but after that, he disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news.

I didn't expect it to appear in front of me so suddenly at this time.

Qiu Yan looked at the other party, while sighing and doubting, he caught a trace of panic in the other party's eyes, and vented a little demonic anger on the other party.

Compared with two years ago, although Zheng Chongsen is calm and calm, his face is pale, and his cheekbones are bulging, which is much thinner than before.

Qiu Yan's heart moved, his perception extended to the past, and he probed carefully, and immediately found that Zheng Chongsen's emotions and thoughts were scattered, his qi and blood vitality were lost, and his yang qi was weakened.

Squinting his eyes, he realized that the other party was afraid that he had experienced a lot of changes, but since Zheng Chongsen was unwilling to say, he didn't open his mouth to ask, but said: "You and I are friends, if there is anything you need to help, just say it." ”

Zheng Chongsen nodded: "Actually, I want to ......"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd not far away suddenly boiled.

With a cry of "release the list", the crowd was surging, and the rolling people's wishes almost exploded, whistling and sweeping like a storm, even Qiu Yan was shaken.

"What a violent wish!

This is the scribe in the tribute courtyard is about to start posting the list!

All around, there was a sudden sound of life, Qiu Yan followed the sound and found that a large number of soldiers were rushing over, and the sound was made when the military boots stepped on the ground.

It is not a trivial matter to release the list, and it naturally needs to be guarded by soldiers to maintain order, front and back. Inside and out, there are more than 200 people.

Even Zheng Chongsen also stopped talking, and looked in the direction of the tribute courtyard with a longing face, and his body trembled slightly.

This movement fell into Qiu Yan's eyes, and the latter sighed slightly, and then said, "Since Brother Zheng is still interested in the imperial examination, why don't you give it a try?"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Chongsen listened, but shook his head with a wry smile. Said: "I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and all I have done is to make it to the dragon and tiger list, how can I easily put it down? It's just that I can't help myself now...... Alas. ”

While the two were talking, someone in the Gongyuan opposite had already begun to shout their names.

The name was first shouted by the scribe on the side of the list, and then repeated by the loud official, and as soon as he spoke, there was a sudden silence around him, and the previous noise was gone. There are too many people here, and those who are far away can't see the names of the list at all, so of course they can only rely on listening.

This is quiet. When the words are shouted, it is clear that it is the name of the person who ranks and is in the middle of the lift.

Listen to the names popping out of the scribe's mouth, and the quiet crowd gradually boiled again, and from time to time someone yelled, "I'm hit, I'm hit!" and danced.

Among them, there are many elderly people. After hearing the name, the memories flowed, thinking of the hard work of half a lifetime and gray hair. Suddenly he had mixed feelings, he couldn't breathe, and he passed out directly, which caused chaos in the crowd.

Qiu Yan stood far away, his eyesight was good, and he took these various scenes into his eyes, not only that, but in his perception, he could clearly sense the human thoughts above the crowd, and the tumbling changes were undergoing drastic changes.

Most of them, tense, solidified, brewing, and apprehensive, were obviously waiting for the results, but with the singing of the official errands, a few people rushed into the sky, bursting out with strong joy, faintly connected with the dragon qi of the dynasty!

Among them, there are even more explosive transitions, almost overdrawn, such as the old Xiucai who passed out, is one of them.

"A list is like a mirror, reflecting the various states of the world, no, people's hearts are ...... a hundred turns"

When Qiu Yan turned his mind, the scribe still read his name, but the further he went, the more irritated the crowd became, and the voice became louder and louder, and gradually his voice was overshadowed.

"Fourteenth, Yuanning Fang Ziyan!"

At this time, a name popped out of his mouth, and when he heard this ranking, Qiu Yan was slightly stunned.

Of course, Fang Ziyan is no stranger, and he has long been aware of the other party's hostility, but after all, he is not an enemy of life and death, and it does not involve a battle for his life, so he didn't take it to heart, however, he still knows this person's talent, although it is a little vain, but the foundation is very good, when he was in Wuxin City, he has done poetry, the articles are full of flowers, and the idea is superior, and the name of the talented man is true.

Moreover, looking at his momentum and shelf before the exam, he obviously has the momentum and idea of competing for Xie Yuan, such a person, even if he performs abnormally in the examination room, it is impossible to be outside the top ten.

Qiu Yan is not the only one who has similar thoughts.

As soon as this ranking came out, many people were stunned, looking for Fang Ziyan's figure in the crowd, but he didn't come, and he couldn't find anyone, so he had to give up.

It was just an episode, and the crowd quickly regained their patience in waiting.

It didn't take long for Zhou Guan and Luo Jiayun to squeeze out of the crowd, their faces were happy, a little difficult to hold themselves, and they muttered to themselves, nothing more than the word "hit", but compared to others, they were much better and slightly calmer.

In the crowd, the singing list is still -

"Third place, Yuanning Gu Yanzhi ......"

"Second place, Xingyuan Gaojing ......"

Zhou Guan swept his eyes and saw Qiu Yan, and immediately ran over with a happy face: "Brother Qiu, you are also hit, and it is ......."

At the moment when he ran over, the official who sang the list also read the name of zuihou-

"First place, Yuanning Qiu Yan!"

The first place in the township test is Xie Yuan!

This is a great achievement, don't think that there is only Jinshi scenery in the imperial examination, the champion is famous, and Xie Yuan is not simple, the whole Da Rui is divided into ten ways, each imperial examination, only the first place in each way, is Xie Yuan, ten people in three years!

Ten people!

How vast is the country?

How many cities are there in the world?

Ten of the hundreds of millions of Li people, such achievements are enough to make people respect!

However, Qiu Yan seemed to have guessed the result a long time ago, and there was not much emotional fluctuation, and it was also said that his military strategy was not a simple application essay in the examination room, but was invited out by the observation envoy and circulated to the officials. According to this, a counteroffensive strategy was formulated to pacify the turmoil in the southwest, and if such an article does not take Xie Yuan, it will be disclosed in the future, and the officialdom of the entire Jiannan Province, along with many examiners and graders, will be implicated!

Thinking about it like this, Qiu Yan knew that a Xie Yuan couldn't run, and no matter what others said, it would be difficult to shake it.

The moment Xie Yuan was announced. The singing list ended, and in the crowd, countless candidates changed their moods, a few were overjoyed, the rest were gloomy, and some desperate people sank into the abyss.

Above, the rising human thoughts also changed violently, and a few dozen of them soared into the sky, merging with the dragon qi. The rest is slowly sinking, and there are several negative emotions in them, and there are signs of exploding.

"Well, these people seem to have premeditated. ”

The change of human thinking is the focus of the scholar's clone. In order to understand humanity, it is easy to find the greasy inside.

At this moment, a solemn voice came from behind Qiu Yan-

"This is not the time to speak, I will pick a time to visit the inn where the virtuous brother is staying. Don't bother for now, congratulations, congratulations......" solemnly hugged his fists and congratulated. His voice was a little dry, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and then turned to leave.

"Huh?" Qiu Yan reacted here, and next to him, Zhou Guan and Luo Jiayun's congratulatory voices also arrived, so he had to turn around and talk to the two friends.

Just said a few words, and the human mind suddenly rolled over.

Qiu Yan immediately realized what had happened, and at the same time remembered something, so he asked out loud, "What's wrong with Brother Zhang?"

When singing, he didn't hear Zhang Zhen's name.

As soon as Zhang Zhen was mentioned here, Zhang Zhen's voice came from the side, and his voice trembled a little, revealing that the heart of the owner of the voice was not calm, but he was trying his best to maintain it.

"Shenzhi, Brother Luo, Brother Zhou, congratulations to the three of you. Zhang Zhen had a smile on his face, but there was a look of loss in his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, the other three people still laughed, and they all had to say comfort.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhen lowered his voice: "Be cautious, you leave here first, after Zhang Bang, people's hearts are fluctuating, many people are unwilling, lucky, and most likely to be provoked, when I came here just now, someone was spreading rumors that were unfavorable to you, continue to stay here, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

As if to confirm his words, someone suddenly yelled among the candidates who failed to make the list-

"That's right! When I was taking the exam, the three examiners, together with the chief examiner, all went to Qiu Yan's side, and they must have given him guidance!"

"Not only that, I heard that even the Observer is behind the scenes!"

"It's not fair! Maybe it's because of this person that my quota is squeezed out!"

......

Some people get up, others suddenly come to the heart, and they don't care whether the matter is true or not, they just want to make a fuss, after all, they are lucky, fantasizing that things are big and can have a turnaround, where can they care about whether they are being used by others.

If someone instigates it, it will immediately cause a lot of turmoil, and there are many precedents in history, so when the list is released, the government will send so many soldiers, not only to maintain order, but also to prevent crowds from making trouble.

At this time, as soon as they saw that there were signs of riots in the crowd, the soldiers around them immediately stepped forward to suppress and scolded loudly.

There is a way to show that only when you meet soldiers, you can't explain reasonably, many candidates are not stupid, and they have no intention of clashing with officers and soldiers, but they open their mouths and close their mouths, they are all questioning, speculating, and cooperating with each other, and there is a great tendency to sit on the rumors.

For a time, there was an artistic conception of boiling public resentment.

When Zhang Zhen and the others saw it, they were uneasy and persuaded Qiu Yan to leave.

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, my Xie Yuan is a real test, can it be that if someone else says and stares at it, he can fly? ”

Zhang Zhen and the others looked at each other, puzzled by what Qiu Yan said, and in the boiling crowd, there were also a few people who looked at Qiu Yan who was calm and composed, thoughtful.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and before the horses arrived, the sound came first.

"The oracle has arrived!" (to be continued......)
