Is it not destined by God that I, Yang, will be the number one scholar?
Yang Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
As for stealing questions, ahem, scholars, can that be called stealing?
So, he quickly went to meet Zhang Wenlong.
Zhang Mansion.
Located in Dongcheng, this place has always been the residence of officials. The Zhang Mansion occupies a small area and is only a second-entry mansion. However, the environment is quite elegant, showing a sense of simplicity.
In the study room.
Zhang Wenlong is sitting in the study, studying an ancient book. He has a square face, bright eyes, and looks elegant and elegant. He is obviously a well-educated man.
As the saying goes, Zhang Wenlong is such a person.
At this time, a beautiful woman dressed elegantly came in from outside. Seeing Zhang Wenlong who was still reading, she stood aside silently.
"Madam, why are you here?"
The beautiful woman stood for a while, and Zhang Wenlong woke up from the book, put the ancient book away, then stood up and walked to the beautiful woman's side.
The beautiful woman's eyes flashed, and she hesitated to say: "Sir, someone from Hantu Academy has come to visit you again..."
When Zhang Wenlong heard this, his majestic expression suddenly sank.
The whole study felt an almost unbearable pressure for no reason.
"They also have the nerve to come?"
Zhang Wenlong looked displeased: "Look at their students, who enjoy themselves with prostitutes all day long and don't seek to make progress. What's the use of visiting me now! Do they want me to help them cheat?"
"Officials, please calm down."
The beautiful woman said quickly.
Zhang Wenlong shook his head: "Enke is of great importance. Thanks to your majesty's trust, I have been appointed as the examiner of Enke. I must select a group of talents for the country! How can I be like a dog with that group of people?"
"Next time they dare to come, they'll be kicked out of the house!"
"Yes, officer."
The beautiful woman already knew Zhang Wenlong's temperament and immediately said nothing more.
The reason why she came here was because she couldn't bear the repeated pleas from some relatives and friends at Hantu College.
Although Zhang Wenlong was not asked to reveal the topic, as long as he got a few words, it was enough to send those people away.
After all, the previous imperial examinations were all like this.
If they are on the gold list, the examiner is their nominal teacher.
With this teacher-student friendship, it plays a big role for the teacher, whether it is the spread of his own knowledge or the expansion of his influence.
"Well, there are already many factions and factions in the literary world, and academic factions are rampant. With the unsociable and upright temperament of the officials, I am afraid that they will not be able to become a great scholar. How can they pass down their poems and books to the family in the future?"
The beautiful woman thought with some distress.
She glanced at the wax-sealed file on the desk and sighed softly.
At this moment, a servant came from outside to deliver a message: "Sir, Deacon Yang from Dongchang is here."
"Well, I understand."
Zhang Wenlong nodded, glanced at the slightly nervous beautiful woman, and said, "Madam, you go to rest first. The other party must be here because of Enke."
"oh."
The beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Dongchang's reputation was so fierce that anyone who heard that they were coming couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
"Invite him to meet me in the study."
Zhang Wenlong gave the order and the servant went down.
After a while, Yang Fan came to Zhang Wenlong's study.
"I've met Mr. Zhang."
As soon as Yang Fan came in, he started to look around.
Zhang Wenlong's elegant scholar's aura was particularly eye-catching. In Yang Fan's eyes, the poems and books in his belly had already contained literary aura, vaguely forming the appearance of a blue volume.
"You are about to become a great scholar?"
Yang Fan thought of the two great scholars he had met before and made a judgment in his mind.
Moving his eyes, Yang Fan naturally noticed the densely packed volumes behind Zhang Wenlong, which almost occupied most of the space in the study, making people dizzy just looking at them.
Zhang Wenlong greeted Yang Fan and then asked: "Deacon Yang, please sit down. I heard that the deacon is responsible for supervising Enke this time?"
As the examiner, he is responsible for setting the questions, invigilating the examination, and marking the examination papers, but the examination papers are kept by a dedicated person.
The person responsible for keeping the examination questions this time was Dongchang Yamen.
"good."
Yang Fan nodded, "Enkozi has a big deal. Now he comes to visit Mr. Zhang. Enke will be here soon. Are the test questions ready?"
"It can be completed today! Tomorrow, I will submit it to His Majesty for a preview, and then send it to you for safekeeping."
Zhang Wenlong saw that Yang Fan was young, so he explained a little more.
Yang Fan nodded.
"Then I'll bother Mr. Zhang."
After the two were polite, Yang Fan left. Before leaving, he naturally noticed the wax-sealed file on Zhang Wenlong's table.
"That's the test question?"
His heart moved.
Coming out of the study, Yang Fan noticed a beautiful woman looking in the distance, and asked the servant casually: "Who is that?"
The servant quickly said: "That is my wife."
"oh."
Yang Fan nodded, didn't care, and went straight out of the house.
After leaving Zhang's Mansion, he didn't go far, so he found a restaurant nearby and ordered a private room to rest.
The exam questions will be completed today, and Zhang Wenlong will submit them to His Majesty tomorrow. If you want to do some tricks, tonight is the best time.
The private room of the restaurant can just see the Zhang Mansion from a distance.
It's night time.
Yang Fan took action and approached Zhang Mansion quietly.
As soon as he got closer, he felt something strange.
There is actually a magic circle set up here, presumably to protect Zhang's house and guard against the existence of people like him.
However, for Yang Fan, the Baifu Knot easily covered his aura, and he passed through the magic circle in a flash and sneaked into Zhang Mansion.
At this time, everyone in Zhang Mansion had already gone to bed.
He came to Zhang Wenlong's study by familiar means.
"Um?"
However, when he was about to enter, he suddenly felt that there was someone in the study!
With a sweep of his magical power, he turned out to be the beautiful woman he saw during the day, Zhang Wenlong's wife.
At this time, she was holding the file with the test questions in her hand, with a look of struggle on her face, and she was obviously full of tangles in her heart.
Yang Fan could see the other party's plan at a glance.
The other party actually wants to steal the test questions!
It is simply unbearable!
Where does she put herself?
In the study room.
The beautiful woman bit her lips lightly with her scallop-like jade teeth, secretly saying to herself.
"Officials, don't blame me. I won't reveal the question to them, just a few words from it."
"You are an upright person and disdain this, but I have to consider the lintel of the family. As long as you take this opportunity to win over those academics, then there will no longer be any obstacles on your path to becoming a great Confucian..."
"Once you become a great Confucian and pass down your poems and books to your family, your family will inevitably be upgraded and become a scholarly family, and you will no longer be trapped in a poor family."
"Just think it's for Wen'er and Heping'er..."
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and calmed down.
Just when she was about to open the file, a scornful voice suddenly came from the dark study room.
"If I were you, I wouldn't open that file!"
"who!"
The beautiful woman's face turned pale and she suddenly looked behind her.
Yang Fan, who was wearing Dongchang's deacon's uniform, was seen walking slowly from the darkness. He approached the beautiful woman expressionlessly, his eyes fell on her face, and he whispered condescendingly:
"Madam, you don't want your husband-in-law to lose his official position, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the beautiful woman's heart trembled!
