The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

At this time, Lin Zhao was in class A, but a quarter of an hour had passed since the start of class, and the old students in the class still hadn't arrived. The teacher didn't wait for them any longer, but started class.

These lessons are about scriptures and some skills in answering questions in the imperial examination.

There were only seven or eight people in the class, and no one else came.After speaking for a while, the master sent out a question for me to practice.

The whole room suddenly fell silent, but after a while, a scholar-like person hurried over.

Lin Zhao glanced at the door. He recognized this person. When he came to the academy to report on the first day, this person told them the rules of the academy and the daily classes and living habits.

Otherwise, if you talk to that person at the door, that person will leave and pass on the message to the next master.The master frowned, walked to Lin Zhao and said, "Lin Zhao, the head of the mountain told you to go there, hurry up."

"In addition, I was notified just now that today is a day off. Go back and rest. Remember to review what you learned today. Next time I will conduct random checks."

The students in the class were not very excited when they heard the master said that today was a day off, but they were very surprised.

After all, rumors of Lin Zhao cheating on the exams in the academy were widely circulated in private, and everyone speculated whether today's day off had something to do with it?

And just now the master said that the head of the mountain asked Lin Zhao to go there, which is already obvious, and maybe he will be questioned face to face about cheating.

Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and it happened that today was a holiday, and someone suggested, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

"Where should I go?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't the master just say that? Tell Lin Zhao to go to the head of the mountain, obviously to the head of the mountain!"

Although the few people spoke very quietly, there were not many people in the room, and both Chen Mian and Yang Su heard them.

Chen Mian said: "Third Brother, don't worry, Brother Yang and I will go with you."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Class A is a little far away from Shanzhang's house. On the way, they saw many students running towards Shanzhang in a hurry.

Chen Mian grabbed a person and asked, "This classmate, what's going on? Why are everyone going to the head of the mountain?"

The classmate who was held back didn't see Lin Zhao, who was a little behind, and hurriedly explained: "So you don't know, a group of people went to the head of the mountain today, saying that Lin Zhao cheated in the exam, and they wanted to let the head of the mountain Give me justice. Everyone ran to watch the excitement, oops, I can’t tell you, I won’t be able to get a good seat any later!”

After saying this, he shook off Lin Zhao's hand and ran forward quickly.

After hearing this, Chen Mian didn't get angry, "Shi Maocai is really a disgusting son of a bitch. Not only did he fabricate things that were not true, but now he is openly provoking him. He just wants to make this matter big and make the mountain grow up. I will not punish you for your crime!"

Lin Zhao glanced at him and asked back, "Care me? What crime do I have? I didn't steal or rob. The exam depends on my real ability. Why should he punish me? Let's go and see." Look, some people may not know what it means to steal chickens without losing money."

"Third brother, your attitude is really calm enough, I appreciate it!"

"Brother was joking, let's go."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Zhao and the others came to Shanchang's house. A group of people had already surrounded the outside, the innermost ones were Shi Maocai and the others, and the outer ones were some students who had just arrived, including many freshmen, all of whom were here. Watch the fun.

Seeing that Lin Zhao had arrived, the head of the mountain waved at him, signaling him to come forward.

Lin Zhao stepped forward, only to hear the head of the mountain say: "I have heard all the rumors circulating in the academy these days, and I didn't plan to deal with it in this way, but since some people came to me to raise objections today, let's Just settle this matter right here. I don’t want this matter to affect any student in the academy, after all, you are here to study for the imperial examination, not to do some messy things.”

After saying this, the head of the mountain looked at Lin Zhao, and said to him: "Lin Zhao, you must have heard of the rumors that have been circulating in the past few days. Today Shi Maocai and many students came to expose me, saying that you Did you admit to cheating in the big quiz not long ago?"

Lin Zhao saluted with his left hand on his right, and then said to all the students: "The pure will be pure, and the turbid will be turbid. I, Lin Zhao, will not admit what I have not done. What happened today, What is the head of the mountain going to do?"

The head of the mountain smiled, and said again what he said before, "Since someone pointed out that you leaked the test and cheated, and you firmly believe that you are innocent, I plan to ask the masters to jointly formulate the test and let you stand in class." In the test, you will know what is right and what is wrong. If Lin Zhao is proved to have cheated, then the academy will not tolerate it."

This is indeed a good way. It has to be said that the head of the mountain is very considerate of the students. This method did not refute the students who questioned Shi Maocai, nor did it allow others to slander Lin Zhao.

"Do you have any objections to the method I mentioned?" Shan Zhang asked.

"No!" Basically, all the people present were either silent or answered no, and they all agreed with Shanzhang's approach.

However, among the "no" voices, there was a very special voice. When the other voices stopped, what he said was clearly heard from the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads to see who said that there was an objection, but they were very surprised when they saw it, because it was Lin Zhao who said that there was an objection.

Before Lin Zhao could explain, someone jumped out from below and said sarcastic remarks, "Lin Zhao, no one else has an opinion, but you have an opinion, what? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of revealing your secrets? Otherwise, you can just admit that you Cheating, it’s not a big deal, it’ll save you being even more embarrassing if you find out!”

Shi Maocai came out suddenly, and said sarcastically, "Lin Zhao, if you want people to be ignorant, you have to do nothing. If you admit it, then this person is responsible for everything. We will plead with the head of the mountain and will not pursue those classmates who were implicated by you. of."

When he said the last sentence, he took a special look at Chen Mian behind Lin Zhao meaningfully. The meaning was self-evident. It meant that Lin Zhao not only cheated by reading the questions in advance, but also revealed the questions to other students. people.

Lin Zhao was unmoved by his words, but Chen Mian couldn't stand when he heard this, rushed out from behind, pointed at Shi Maocai's nose and cursed: "Shi Maocai farted your mother! What nonsense, I think people like you should eat some pickles and wash your mouth, otherwise you will spray feces when you open your mouth!"

Chen Mian is a scholar after all, so he wouldn't have said such vulgar words if he hadn't been in a hurry.

Lin Zhao quickly grabbed his arm and patted him twice to make him believe in himself.

The crowd finally calmed down again, and then the head of the mountain found a gap and asked: "If you have any objections, you can talk about it and we can discuss it."

Lin Zhao paused, and said, "Shan Zhang, I don't disagree with the method you mentioned, but I have a question to ask you."

"You said."

"I want to ask you, if it turns out that I was wronged, then Shi Maocai and the group of students who took the lead in spreading rumors that I leaked questions and cheated, how will you punish them?"

"This is easy to handle. If it turns out that you have been wronged, the academy will cancel all their academy benefits for the next year, and they will be punished for copying the scriptures a hundred times and contemplating behind closed doors for seven days."

This punishment is considered severe in the academy, but Lin Zhao disagrees.

Canceling all kinds of benefits in the academy for the next year is a good thing to say. Many of us have relatively wealthy families. Without the benefits of the academy, it is no pain to them to fill up the money by themselves.

"Dare to ask the head of the mountain, what if it proves that I cheated?"

Before the head of the mountain answered, someone from below said loudly: "Of course you will be expelled! People like you who cheat on exams are a stain on the academy. How could you pollute the atmosphere of the academy here!"

The head of the mountain looked a little more serious, and said: "If it is really proved that you cheated, the academy will deal with it fairly in accordance with the rules of the academy."

And everyone knows that there are clear regulations in the school rules, if someone cheats in the exam, they will be expelled from the academy after being caught, and they are not allowed to accept it again.

Lin Zhao sneered, took a look at Shi Maocai, and said to Shanzhang: "Shanzhang, I don't think it's fair. Why do they just confiscate some insignificant things and copy scriptures when they lose? It doesn't hurt at all. It doesn't itch.

Besides, I was innocent.But these people, all rely on their mouths to spread rumors, and I spread the rumors, but I was too late to refute the rumors.Why am I wronged in the end?Why?Can you tell me what kind of reasoning is this?Is this what the sage books teach us?

Shanzhang, I am the second in this year's college examination, and I am also the first in this big test. Are you not afraid of chilling my heart? "

The last sentence actually has some threatening meaning in it.This is to tell the head of the mountain that he is very talented in reading and is very likely to pass the imperial examination in one fell swoop.If he is wronged today, the Academy will lose him as a talent.

The head of the mountain gradually became serious when he heard the words, and he said, "Then what's your suggestion? Let's hear it."

"I heard that Shi Maocai was the one who took the lead in reporting me and motivating so many people to come here. If this is the case, then if they are wrong this time, he will be solely responsible."

Lin Zhao looked at Shi Maocai, and he, who was always indifferent, became hardened. A sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Shi Maocai, just now you said that one person does things and one person should be responsible. Do you dare now?"

Shi Maocai blushed. He didn't expect Lin Zhao to ask him in front of so many people.Out of face, he couldn't be cowardly.

He stammered: "Who, who dare not!"

Lin Zhao smiled, "Then it's settled. It's fair and just. If I lose, I will leave. If you lose, you will leave."

He turned to the head of the mountain, "Okay, head of the mountain, as you can see, we have reached an agreement. If it is confirmed that I cheated, then I will leave the academy. If they are rumors, then he will leave the academy. Fair, no ?"

Shi Maocai is already stupid. When did he reach an agreement with Lin Zhao that it's either you or I?

But now riding a tiger is hard to get off, what should he say to get himself out of it?

The head of the mountain frowned, and he asked Shi Maocai again if he was sure of it.

Shi Maocai's nervous mood suddenly felt happy, fortunately, there is still room.He said: "Shan Zhang, I didn't say that, it was Lin Zhao's idea alone, and I didn't agree with it!"

"What? Do you want to go back on your word? But you just promised to take full responsibility in front of everyone. Now the responsibility I am talking about is fair and just punishment. If it is confirmed that you are spreading rumors, you will leave the academy. It is reasonable. Unless ..."

Shi Maocai couldn't wait to ask: "Unless what?"

"Unless someone among you stands up and admits that he instigated and spread this rumor, then naturally you don't need to bear this 'responsibility'."

"D-Of course I didn't instigate it. It was Zhao Ze, it was him. I just wanted to take over this matter for him out of loyalty."

When Zhao Ze heard this, his face was full of disbelief. He looked at Shi Maocai as if he didn't know this person.This matter was obviously instigated by Shi Maocai, he was just a follower from the beginning to the end, but now he was said to be the mastermind behind it.

"Shi Maocai, it's obviously you, how could you pour dirty water on me just to avoid responsibility?"

"Where did I splash dirty water, what I said was the truth."

Lin Zhao just said a few words, and they had an internal strife. Finally, the head of the mountain looked at the chaotic situation, and said: "Okay! I know who encouraged so many people to report and expose Lin Zhao's cheating today. That's it. Now, if it is proved that Lin Zhao cheated, then he will leave the academy, and if you guys spread rumors in private to slander his innocence, then one of you must leave the academy."

Chen Mian quietly gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up from below. This was the first time he saw Lin Zhao showing such a domineering aura.Although he is cold on weekdays, there has never been anything that can make him say so many words to refute a person.

Lin Zhao was indeed annoyed. If Shi Maocai was not completely resolved, he would definitely trouble him again and again in the future.Why not just let him leave the academy this time, once and for all.

As for his uncle who is a fellow acquaintance, it is estimated that Shi Mao will leave the academy in time, and he must have said all his bad things in front of his uncle.He could only remind his brother more when he turned around, and be more careful in business.

But just now the head of the mountain said that... I don't know if it was intentional.

Here, the head of the mountain flicked his sleeves and entered the room, where the masters who had already been called back were working together on the question.After so much commotion outside just now, more than half of this question has been solved.

Students outside who are willing to do the questions again will arrange a place to answer the questions again.The results of this answering question will only be counted as a quiz and will not determine the placement question.

This time the examination room was arranged at the big shooting range, which is where the Doushi Club was located before.

Tables and chairs were arranged at intervals according to the requirements of the number of people. There were two tables in the front, which were the seats of Lin Zhao and Shi Maocai.

Didn't Shi Maocai take the lead in accusing him of cheating?This question just let him do it too, to feel the difficulty.In this way, he could not force Lin Zhao to cheat on the grounds that the test questions were simple.

It has been an hour since the person in charge came up with a good question.When it was time for dinner, everyone didn't go to eat, and they all waited outside.

This time, many people raised their hands to sign up for this quiz. First, they want to verify their abilities again, and second, they want to consolidate the knowledge they have learned.

Lin Zhao answered quickly. In his opinion, the question types were similar.And in order to convince the people present, he specially slowed down the speed of doing the questions, and the handwriting was more correct and beautiful.

While others were still scratching their heads and thinking about the answer, he had stopped writing, waited for the ink marks to dry, got up and handed in the paper.

The speed of answering questions like this is staggering, and some people have gradually begun to believe that Lin Zhao was wronged.

The teachers did not sit in the room, but invigilated the test on the spot. They also wanted to see what Lin Zhao's answer sheet would look like.They didn't see the answering process last time, but this time they watched the whole process.

When Lin Zhao's answer sheet was handed in, the masters gathered together to read it, and the handwriting was more correct than last time.The curly noodles were clean and tidy. Master Zeng came out and scanned them. He stroked the mustache on his chin, squinted his eyes and nodded with a smile, looking very satisfied.

Soon a few more students handed in their answer sheets, but none of them left, but were all waiting for the teachers to correct the answer sheets.

This time they did not take it inside the house to be corrected, but corrected on the spot, everything was transparent and fair, and no one was caught and gossiped.

Shi Maocai's answer sheet was also handed in, but Lin Zhao's answer sheet was the first to be corrected by the masters, and his answer sheet is the focus today.

The masters corrected on the assembly line, each of them corrected a question type, and quickly corrected a stack of answer sheets.

Master Zeng handed Lin Zhao's answer sheet to the head of the mountain, and the head of the mountain smiled after reading it. It really is a material for reading. The answer sheet is written like a template, and the accuracy rate is extremely high.

On the contrary, Shi Maocai did not answer the test questions very well this time.It may be due to the influence of his mentality that he couldn't stop answering the questions this time, which resulted in him being able to take the second and third places on weekdays, but this time he was suddenly outside the top [-].

In the end, the head of the mountain announced the result. Lin Zhao was wronged. He didn't cheat. He just had a talent for reading.After finishing speaking, he praised him, and then asked his answer sheet to be circulated directly among the students.

When the head of the mountain announced that Lin Zhao hadn't cheated, Shi Maocai's legs went limp and his head went into a daze.

Is he leaving the academy?

No, no, how could he leave the academy!He still has a year to study in the academy.

Yes, the head of the mountain just said that one of the troublemakers among them was going to leave the academy, but he didn't name him to let him go!

Thinking of this, Shi Maocai had an idea in his mind, and calmed down the flustered mind just now.

Lin Zhao walked up to Shi Maocai and said, "I hope you will keep your promise, and I will wait to see you leave."

"Then just wait."

This matter finally came to an end, and the students who had heard the rumors and slandered Lin Zhao for cheating all apologized to Lin Zhao with a good attitude.

Only Shi Maocai remained silent, and there was no news of him leaving the academy.

However, after a few days, Chen Mian learned that a student who used to be with Shi Maocai had left the academy, and took all the responsibility for the rumors.

Chen Mian couldn't help but contemptuously said: "This person is really shameless, even looking for a scapegoat!"

Lin Zhao put down the book in his hand, looked up out of the window, squinted his eyes, picked up the book from the table again, and said, "It's expected." When he learned that Shi Maocai had no plans to leave the academy these days, It confirmed his conjecture.

How could the head of the mountain allow him to place such a big bet in front of him.So he said that on purpose. If it is confirmed that it is a rumor, someone from Shi Maocai's group must stand up and take responsibility.But he didn't specify who it was, so scapegoating or something was a way out.

While the head of the mountain was reluctant to bear Lin Zhao, a good student who studied, he also hated Shi Maocai, a good student who studied.
