"The top picks in the past were either appreciated by the examiners or favored by the saints, so they can get the top spot. However, this year's Enke is different from previous years. He is the most special."
"Please sir, please help me clarify my doubts!"
After hearing these words, Judge Wen felt more confused and couldn't help but respectfully said.
"Have you ever heard of Cangjiang?"
Yongning City God did not answer, but asked a question that sounded irrelevant.
"Cangjiang? Is it the big river in the southeast of Gyeongsang Province? Its widest point is hundreds of miles wide, and you can't see the edge at a glance!"
After Judge Wen thought for a moment, he raised his head and answered.
"Mr. An is serious about blogging!"
"Your Excellency may praise you so much, but that river is quite famous. When Xiaguan was rushing to take exams before his death, he also passed by this river and wrote poems by the river."
The judge replied rather humbly.
"Master An is really elegant when he writes poems by the river. It's just that in the more than 100 years since Master An has served under me, I have never seen Master An write poetry!"
"The years have been wasted. I entered the officialdom, and now I am a judge. How can I still have the spirit and leisure of the past?"
Judge Wen smiled bitterly.
"That's true, time makes people grow old! Since Mr. An knows Cangjiang, then do you know who is in charge of Cangjiang?"
After Yongning City God sighed, he returned to the original topic.
"The lower official heard that he is a dragon king. I heard that his heels are quite profound and his origins are extremely extraordinary!"
Although he was a little confused about the topic Yongning City God was talking about with him, the judge still racked his brains and answered.
Although he is a ghost and god, he is just a small judge of a county. The Cangjiang Water God is an existence that he cannot even look up to. He has no idea about the origin of his feet.
But its background must be extremely amazing. Otherwise, why would he be in charge of a large river near Gyeonggi Province?
"What Dragon Lord? It's just an evil dragon that relies on the power of his father to seize the throne of God!"
Yongning City God said rather disdainfully.
"grown ups!"
The judge looked at the city god in shock.
Although a county town god is not bad, it is nothing compared to the dragon god of the river. Even if the dragon king is away from the river, he still has the overwhelming power to turn the clouds and seas.
It's nothing to talk about one or two things, but if you criticize it like this, you may suffer disaster!
"Don't panic, that evil dragon has been beheaded and has no power to cause trouble to you or me again!"
Seeing this official with a hurried look on his face, Yong'an City God immediately smiled and comforted him.
"Cangjiang Longjun died?"
Wenjian was extremely shocked. This was a major event that could shock the world of ghosts and gods in the Jin Dynasty, but it was calm. He had never heard of it. He only found out today. It was probably because his level was too low and he could not reach that level.
"Beheaded by someone with a sword, his death was quite tragic. For a majestic river god to be reduced to such a situation, he really deserves to die."
Yongning City God smiled happily.
"The official has only heard the name of Cangjiang Dragon Lord and doesn't know much about him. What kind of evil deeds has this god done? It makes you so disgusted. And what is the reason for this dragon Lord to suffer such a disaster?"
The literary judgment voice respectfully asks for advice.
"I don't know much about him, but I know that he comes from overseas and is rumored to be the heir of a true dragon."
"I see!"
The literary judge suddenly realized that if this rumor was true, it would be understandable that this Dragon Lord could take charge of the position of Cangjiang Water God.
"As for the evil deeds this animal has done, I have witnessed it with my own eyes!"
At this moment, the Yongning City God made no secret of his dislike for the Dragon Lord and his joy at his being robbed.
"This beast has a habit. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will search for ten beautiful women on both sides of the Cangjiang River, force them to write letters of betrothal, and on the second day of the second lunar month, they will marry them into the Dragon Palace!"
"This is the nature of dragons!"
The literary judge responded that he didn't think it was anything. After all, that person was the Dragon God of the River. Whether it was the ordinary person he fell in love with or the woman he married, he was destined to be immortal.
"Do you think it is acceptable for this beast to abide by the etiquette of our human race and take ten women from good families every year?"
"Sir, this..."
Wen Juan wanted to speak but stopped.
"You don't have to explain it to me. I know what you think. But if this is really the case, I don't think this animal should be killed. But do you know that the woman who was taken into the Dragon Palace by this animal has never been seen again?"
Always, without exception!"
"Those women were..."
Judge Wen suddenly had a guess in his mind, and his eyes widened a bit.
"It is rumored that this animal has a cannibalism!"
Yongning City God said coldly.
"Why is this so? Are all the princes above the court indifferent to this? Does your Majesty also turn a blind eye to this? Doesn't the King of the Capital also care?"
Wenjian said in disbelief, feeling that some belief in his heart had been impacted.
"It's just a rumor. There is no conclusive evidence. Whether it is His Majesty or the noble prince, who would suggest taking action against Yijiang Dragon God? Even if the Dragon Lord is killed, who will bear the wrath of the overseas real dragon?"
Yongning City God asked back, and then laughed again.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if this matter is true. There are only ten women every year. In the eyes of some people, it is a good deal to get a river of dragon kings to keep their peace and order!"
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
"It's really ridiculous, so this evil dragon suffered a disaster!"
"Is he the top pick in Enke this year?"
At this point, Judge Wen couldn't help but blurt out. It would be too slow if he didn't react at this point. But after the words came out, he felt that this matter was too unbelievable and went against common sense.
"At the end of the first lunar month of this year, a one-year junior candidate stayed at a villager's house, and that villager had a girl who was rumored to be extremely beautiful. She happened to be spotted by an evil dragon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, and she forcibly signed a letter of appointment, which became known to the candidate.
"
"On the first day of the second lunar month, the City God of Chongshan Prefecture and all the ghosts and gods under his command witnessed with their own eyes a young man wielding a three-foot green sword to slay a dragon on the bank of the Cangjiang River. When the sword moved, a mighty righteous energy washed over the surrounding areas, filling the heaven and earth, and the water of the Cangjiang River.
God is absent from now on!"
Yongning City God said slowly, with a look of leisurely fascination in his eyes.
This is what he wanted to do thousands of times in his dreams during his lifetime. Unfortunately, even if he was named a ghost and god after his death, he still could not shake even one scale of that evil god. Now there is a young man who is not even in his prime.
He accomplished what he wanted to do and fulfilled his lifelong wish.
"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang, for clarifying my doubts!"
Wenjian, who recovered from the shock of knowing that the young man had killed the dragon, quickly bowed his head.
At this moment, he also understood why Lord Cheng Huang said that this year's No. 1 Scholar was different from previous No. 1 Scholars. He also knew how the No. 1 Scholar got his sixth rank.
The political opinions of the examiner? His preferences? What is the profound meaning of the test questions? These are not important to this champion. He only needs to participate and answer the questions.
If there are errors, it must be that there is something wrong with the examiner, there is something wrong with the questions, and there are serious flaws in the political views.
As for the emperor's favor in the palace examination? Oh, to be disrespectful, even a monkey sitting on the dragon's throne should know who the number one scholar should be!
