At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

"I...I really can't do it." The boy in blue said bravely.

"What about Liang Jiang? He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of six. He must be the leader of this county case!"

Zhen Youqian took off a gold ring with pearls and auspicious animal patterns from his hand. road:

"How about we make a bet on who can win the county examination in one fell swoop? I'll bet on Marquis Xie Ting!"

Even if he misses, today's support for Marquis Xie Ting will be spread to the ears of the Xie family. If you lose, you will only pay some money, but if you win, you will not lose anything.

Such a good deal, there is no shop like this when passing by this village.

"I bet on Liang Jiang!"

"I also bet on Liang Jiang."

......

The scene was in full swing for a while, with most people betting on the head of the case in Liangjiang County, and some betting on others.

Xu's Tea House, second floor.

Xu Lu folded his arms and watched the farce below, broadcasting the report in real time: "Xiao Si of the Liang family also went to place bets."

Xie Yuheng smiled and took out two hundred-tael silver notes and said, "Chang He, you go too."

If she hadn't been afraid that they had no money and couldn't afford to lose, she would have just taken out a thousand-tael banknote.

"There's me, there's me. I'll pay fifty taels." Xie Mingcheng hurriedly dug out a silver note from the sole of his shoe, which was the New Year's money given by his mother.

Chang He, whose face looked like a bitter melon, took the banknote and went downstairs with a glare.

Si Yuandao put down the flower porcelain tea cup and joked: "Xiao Yuheng, you are so confident in yourself."

Xie Yuheng picked up the small teapot and filled Si Yuandao's cup again.

Then he said: "Hey, sir, what are you talking about? This disciple is confident in you."

The main reason was that he briefly came into contact with Liang Jiang in the Gongyuan that day, and he seemed not very clear-headed.

If this person could become the leader of the case, she would have to be proud that she had no rivals in Jiangling.

"Little monkey." Si Yuandao cursed with a smile, carefully picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Xie Yuheng is a very good disciple. If you don't understand anything, just teach him once and you will be able to draw inferences the next day.

Could it be that I think about it every day and dream about it at night... and study hard in my dreams?

Thinking about it this way, Chi Bai is too ignorant.

He eats up his stomach and makes a fool of himself in public. But he took his revenge on Xiao Yuheng and ordered people to poison him all the way.

It still unknowingly drags down people's bodies, and the evil behind the house is secretive.

Hum, the little old man angrily put the tea cup back on the table.

Xie Yuheng's eyes moved slightly, guessing that the gentleman must have thought about poisoning.

Alas, I guess someone discovered that he was dying.

She is really kind-hearted...she has the beauty of an adult, why doesn't Chi Bai appreciate her?

The Chi family can't move for the time being. Let's see how much blood the Chi family will shed this time to save their eldest grandson.

The tea lid floats across the water, and when it slides left and right, the excess tea flows along the tea cup into the tea boat.

......

Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs. I looked sideways and saw that some government officials were going to post a list on the west wall.

The bet has been placed, so there is no need to send anyone to take a look. Someone will come back after reading the list and call out the names loudly.

After finishing a cup of tea, he saw the boy in blue squeezing towards his young master holding a roll of copied lists.

The young man in blue shook his folding fan, raised his chin slightly and said, "Zhen Youqian, just wait until you sell that ready-to-wear store in the south of the city and pay for it, hahahaha."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to everyone to stand aside and make way for his servant.

The boy in blue threw the folding fan to the boy and reached out to take the list.

When he unfolded it and took a look, his body stiffened instantly and his eyes were filled with shock.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Zhen Youqian stood on tiptoe and glanced, then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, I'm sorry everyone, he is the county chief of the case of Xie Tinghou."

"Process, concession." Zhen Youqian bowed his hands to the crowd, of course, mainly to the gamblers who bet on Liangjiang.

On the surface, he is polite, but in reality he is showing off.

The person who betted that Liang Jiang was the leader of the crime seemed to have swallowed a big green-eyed fly. It was disgusting! Uncomfortable!

In the teahouse diagonally opposite.

Liang Jiang was originally drinking tea in an elegant manner. When he heard the commotion downstairs, the celadon tea cup instantly fell into pieces.

He gritted his teeth and said: "How is it possible? It must be those academic and political officials who are attached to the dragon and the phoenix. Let me see if there are any answer sheets copied and pasted."

Xie Yuheng and his second brother raised their glasses at the same time in tacit understanding, "Fuck--"

A glass of toast to Liangjiang, a glass of toast to silver.

......

But he said, Gongyuan, under the Western Wall.

At this time, some of the students who had read the rankings had dispersed, and the rest were mostly just joining in the fun.

Wang Ermazi, who occupied the best position on the list, also looked shocked.

I'm a good boy, he knew that Xiao Yuheng was smart, but he didn't expect that he was the one responsible for the crime!

Looking from top to bottom, the first name is Xie Yuheng's, followed by Xie Mingli's.

Then there is the young master of the Liang family who they are talking about.

Wang Ermazi secretly thought that those who came back from Yangzhou were nothing more than this.

"Who is this Xie Mingli? How come I have never heard of him?" someone asked doubtfully.

"You are stupid. My surname is Xie. I must be from the Qinghe Tinghou family."

"Hey, according to what you say, then Xie Zhuqing, who is in fifth place, is also the same."

Someone with good intentions carefully searched the list and found that there were actually five students named Xie among the top twenty!

Apparently other people noticed it, and swarmed over to where the test papers were posted, wanting to take a look at the articles written by the Xie family's children.

Liang Jiang, who had finally squeezed in, was squeezed out and was stepped on several times.

An old man who was looking at the results for his children asked in confusion: "Why is there a picture next to the answer sheet of Marquis Xie Ting?"

"This is a painting turned into a poem, which is really unheard of."

"The dark fragrance fills the room, I suspect spring is coming. What a poem, what a poem." The old candidate with a gray beard praised.

Some people leaned on the wall and cried bitterly, "The four books are inscribed on the title, isn't it? Is it okay to praise the Holy One?"

It turned out that the student who missed the exam thought he had guessed the mind of the person who asked the question. Little did he know that such an important matter was so important, how could he give out points?

Fortunately, he is still young and can still end up in the next year.

Following his boy, Liang Jiang finally squeezed in again.

Liang Jiang's eyes were red after reading it. The Xie brothers' article was indeed remarkable, but it was not very good.

However, because he is a local snake in Jiangling, the academic and political officials are a bit thin-faced.

With a cold snort, he turned around and left with pretending to be calm and graceful.

There were two examinations at the government office and the court. In Linyuan, Wuling County, where Jingzhou was governed, Xiaotinghou could still let people let him go.

Some students who knew Liang Jiang curled their lips. Yangzhou and Jingzhou were both major imperial examination states, but Jingzhou had a larger population and its teachers were not as good as Yangzhou.

Why should you enhance the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?

They couldn't survive in Yangzhou, so they just wanted to go back to their ancestral home in Jingzhou to show off as heroes.

......

Meteors pass through water, and the moon moves retrograde through clouds.

"Brother, I don't want to go on a study tour." Xie Mingcheng lowered his head and picked at the dead skin on his fingers.

His results were in vain when he went to the government examination.

Among the top twenty in the county examination, Xie's family accounted for five. But the other... is Xie Xiu's brother Xie Lin.

He was ranked ninety-eighth. In the past, only about ten people in each county passed the college examination and passed the examination.

But it’s not all for nothing, study tours also cost money. Although their family is not in short supply now, they cannot afford to be lavish.

Xie Mingli seemed not to have heard anything, and still looked at the pages of the book in his hand.

Xie Mingcheng glanced at it quietly. There were some strange symbols on it.

After a long time, Xie Mingli sighed softly. Said: "Mingcheng, do you think our family's current financial situation is enough to hire a maid and a servant?"
