Chapter 97 Failed

After getting off the carriage, looking around, there are people everywhere, as lively as a temple fair.

"Teacher, there are too many people on the list wall, let's not go there first."

Lao Zhang climbed back into the carriage again and stood up. "Let me see where Junior Brother Su is."

"Lao Zhang, have you seen it?"

"No, there are too many people, wait for a while." Lao Zhang jumped off the carriage, and several people stood in the crowd.

People kept walking past and discussing.

"I passed the exam and I'm going to tell my father the good news." A young man said with a happy face.

"The young master is really powerful, the young master is mighty."

"It's not right for you to say that. Our young master is a dragon and a phoenix in the first place, and he will be able to pass the entrance examination in the future." The two servants followed behind and flattered.

Two more people walked over. "I heard that the head of the case is the son of the new county magistrate."

Mr. Qin Zhi's calm expression suddenly widened his eyes, and he looked at the two young people walking past.

The other senior brothers all showed expressions of disbelief, isn't the chief of the case Junior Brother Su? ? ?

Wang Qian walked up quickly. "Brother stay behind."

The two young men turned their heads, looked at Qin Zhi and his party, and asked Wang Qian, "What's the matter, brother?"

Wang Qian glanced at Mr. Qin Zhi before asking seriously. "Dare to ask, who is the leader of this case?"

"Oh? This one, it's Li Xu. I heard that he is the son of Mr. Xinxian Cheng." The two young people laughed and said, "Brother, you are just here, hurry in and have a look, maybe there is one on the list. what is your name."

"Thank you, but I heard that Master Su is very talented, so he should be at the top of the list."

The two young men suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, you don't know that, Mr. Su's name is not on the list at all, so maybe he failed the list again!"

"teacher!"

Qin Zhi suddenly ran towards the crowd.

"Thank you!" Wang Qian bowed to the two young men and hurried after them.

All the students chased after them with serious expressions.

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "It is impossible for Mr. Su to be unnamed on the list. There must be something tricky in this exam."

"Correct."

"Just kidding, the imperial examinations are always fair and just, Mr. Su's failure is tricky, why can't Mr. Su fail when others fail?"

Someone in the crowd started arguing, Mr. Qin Zhi's expression became more serious, and he became more certain that Su Huan failed the ranking.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Mr. Qin Zhi has martial arts, although he is a little old, he is very strong.

He squeezed all the way to the bottom of the list and looked at the first name on the red paper: Li Xu.

With a quick glance, he quickly read through a hundred names, and Mr. Qin Zhi's face became darker and darker.

He personally taught Su Huan's articles, how is the quality?Wouldn't the teacher who taught him a minister of the official department and dozens of Jinshi not understand?
Su Huan is also considered hardworking. In the past few months, he has worked very hard to write articles, tens of thousands of articles. He has basically written all the possible examination questions in the Four Books and Five Classics. Can you make it to the list?
This is an insult to Huai Zhi Academy, an insult to me, and an insult to Su Xiaozi's knowledge.

The first thought that popped up in Mr. Qin Zhi's mind was that this Tong Sheng Exam was tricky, otherwise Su Huan would not be on the list.

"Teacher, how are you?" Wang Qian and the others squeezed to Mr. Qin Zhi's side.

Mr. Qin Zhi didn't speak, and a few people scanned the list, but there was no name of Junior Brother Su.

Several people walked out of the crowd with dark faces.

"Teacher, what should we do now? Go back to the academy?"

"Go back to that damn academy and don't need any more stew." Mr. Qin Zhi sneered, staring at the gate of the county government office.

Wang Qian asked weakly: "Then what shall we do now?"

"Go to the county government office and go in to see the situation."

"Let it go, let it go!" Old Liu came out of the county office again, copying the candidate's answer sheet in his hand.

After a while, the top ten answer sheets were all posted on the wall of the list.

"Let's go and have a look. I really don't believe in evil anymore." Mr. Qin Zhi once again led Wang Qian and others to the bottom of the list.

The titles and formats of each article are very standardized.

"Teacher, although Li Xu's article is good, it's not as good as it should be." Brother Youtu said.

Lao Zhang and others also noticed that although Li Xu's articles were good, they were compared with others and were still far behind Su Huan's average performance.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Mr. Qin Zhi said.

……

Hangzhou government office.

A 40-year-old middle-aged man brushed his sleeve with one hand and held a pen in the other. On the table was a two-meter-long landscape painting.

He is the prefect Meng Xiang. He recently encountered a scientific examination and the government office had nothing to do. He finally had time to continue cultivating his sentiments.

"My lord!" A servant came in.

It took Meng Xiang a while to pick up the pen, and after putting it on the inkstone, he turned his head. "How about it, is the list posted?"

"My lord, it's posted." Knowing that Meng Xiang and Su Huan have a personal relationship, Yacha asked boldly, "I wonder if my lord has read the list before the list is released?"

As soon as Meng Xiang picked up his pen, he turned his head. "no, what happened?"

"My lord, the case is headed by Li Xu, the son of the magistrate of Lin'an County."

As expected, Meng Xiang looked a little surprised, and asked while wiping the tip of his pen on the inkstone. "What about Su Huan?"

"Return to my lord, no, Lord Su failed the ranking."

"Ah??" Meng Xiang turned his head. This result was indeed beyond his expectation.

"My lord, this is the list." The Yacha stepped forward, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Meng Xiang put down his pen, took the list, opened it, glanced at it, and then murmured to himself after a while. "Interesting, interesting, Xuezheng is crazy."

"My lord, Mr. Xuezheng is in Lin'an County now." Yachai said.

"Let's go to Lin'an County. I can't finish this." Meng Xiang put the paper in his arms. When he walked out of the room, he turned to the government official guarding the door: "Until I come back, no one can be allowed in the public house. .”

After saying that, Meng Xiang left. The yamen who followed him specially warned the two young yamen who were looking after the public house: "Watch carefully, be careful that your paintings are stained by cats and dogs."

"Yes, yes, the humble official must take a good look at it, and will not leave even a single step." The little yamen official cupped his hands.

A horse-drawn carriage drove out from the Hangzhou government office and headed towards Lin'an County.

Halfway through, Meng Xiang opened the curtains and saw more than ten people sitting in a tea shack on the roadside, with their legs crossed and grass in their mouths. At first glance, they did not look like good people.

Meng Xiang asked, "Who are these people?"

"My lord, this is within the range of Yinhu Mountain. These are bandits from Yinhu Mountain. They have been active recently."

Meng Xiang put down the curtains, Yinhu Mountain, which claims to have 3000 people, is a very famous bandit in Hangzhou Prefecture, it seems that it has become a trend, and they dare to come out to hang out in a fair and honest manner.

"Hey, stop!"

Several people from the tea shed walked over and stopped Meng Xiang's car aggressively.

The coachman was frightened, and the Yacha quickly poked his head out. "do what?"

"Tolls, ten copper coins for carriages."

Yacha was furious, wool, do you know who we are?Sitting in the car is the local magistrate, asking the magistrate to pay you tolls is absurd, and the yamen servant was about to get angry when Meng Xiang's voice came out. "give them."

Yacha could only suppress his anger and took out copper coins from his pocket.

The thieves from Yinhu Mountain came up, took the copper coins, and counted them. "Pass!"

The carriage drove away slowly, Meng Xiang raised the curtains, and those people sat back in the tea shed again.

"My lord, when we go back to the mansion, I will lead people to arrest these people."

Meng Xiang was expressionless and his voice was flat. "Don't wait, send someone to find out the news, what the hell are the people in Yinhu Mountain doing, and why are they so bold."
