The identity of a county probation chief is basically that of a scheduled student.
"Good for you."
"It's not like you've wasted so many days of hard work."
"As the leader of the case, you should also treat us to a meal..."
Bai Gui was very popular among his classmates. After hearing that he had become the head of the case, they all congratulated him. Although several people had mixed feelings in their hearts, they could not rise to the level of jealousy.
Some test-taking skills are also shared with everyone.
Several people were clamoring to go to a county restaurant to have a big meal and congratulate him.
"Okay, I'll treat you today."
Bai Gui nodded. The person in charge of the case should treat his classmates to a meal. During this time, he studied hard after lunch. Several classmates also helped bring lunch. For this favor, he never knew how to repay it.
Chances are good to reward one or two.
On the one hand, his identity as the leader of the case is due to his own hard study, and on the other hand, it is also inseparable from the teachings of several classmates in the village, senior fellow students in the academy, and the two teachers, Xu Xiucai and Mr. Zhu...
If a person is grateful, he will be repaid.
A few people were going to a mid-range restaurant with a good reputation.
But at this moment...
Suddenly on the street, a government officer holding an official title card cleared the way, and a band played. Two bearers, one behind the other, were carrying the sedan. In the sedan was a white chicken, about two or three months old, with two legs.
He was tied to the sedan and couldn't move.
This absurd scene appeared in front of the county government office.
"The whole body is like white jade, but it doesn't look like an ordinary domestic chicken. This...could this be the legendary white pheasant?"
All the Confucian scholars looked at the white-feathered chicken tied to the sedan in shock.
I couldn't help but get excited.
Seeing auspiciousness, even if you can get some light, is good.
"Well, I heard that there were rumors a few days ago that white pheasants appeared in Bailuyuan. I didn't expect that white pheasants actually appeared in the world. It seems that our Bailuyuan is really a blessed place for outstanding people and spirits..."
A few helpers walking among the crowd spread rumors and were very familiar with the situation.
"That's not good!"
"Last time we in Bailuyuan discovered a white deer in the Song Dynasty, four of the Lu family were admitted to the Jinshi. Now that we see this white pheasant, maybe our Zishui County will also produce a Jinshi..."
"Jinshi?"
Confucian scholars kept smacking their mouths with envy in their eyes.
The title of Jinshi can be said to be the real hometown of glory. Once you have the title of Jinshi, you will immediately be awarded an official position by the Ministry of Personnel, and the lowest is the county magistrate or county magistrate of a county.
"Where did this white pheasant appear?"
"Han Bangu said in "Bai Hu Tong Feng Chan Shu" that 'white pheasants descend, white deer see, and white crows descend.' Maybe I can try my luck."
A few interested passers-by asked and inquired.
While the music class was playing the flute, the ancient county magistrate came out of the main entrance of the county government office. His official uniform was a seventh-grade owl patch, with a small sapphire on the top of his crown, and he was walking in official steps, looking calm and confident.
"What's disturbing the announcement of the results?"
The ancient magistrate asked knowingly and stared at Master Liu, the leader on the street.
Master Liu came forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "Back to the county, I have found out that there is a white pheasant in Bailu Village, Bailu Town, under the jurisdiction of Zishui County, so we went to capture it. Unexpectedly, this white pheasant was raised by a family. I
I will buy one for twenty taels of silver and present it to the county magistrate..."
The auspicious auspiciousness descended from the sky was in recognition of the ancient county magistrate's merits in governing the country.
The ancient county magistrate's face was tense, and he said solemnly, "Which family raised you, and did you ever bully and rob you? You can't hide anything, otherwise I will not be lenient!"
He looks like a good official who makes decisions for the people.
When I heard about auspiciousness, I first didn't care about auspiciousness, but I was concerned about whether these subordinate officials were oppressing the people.
Many people on the street praised Magistrate Gu when they saw this, saying that Magistrate Gu was really a good official who cared for the people. Although many of them had been entrusted by Master Liu, there were also some people who were sincere...
Otherwise, if the official is really disreputable, others will look down upon him even if he is trusted.
"I can't wait!"
Master Liu and the government officials shook their heads repeatedly, "This household belongs to Bai Youde's family in Bailu Village. Bai Youde's son is still taking the county exam. If we bully and rob you, in the name of your official position, this person will definitely file a lawsuit!"
During the county examination, if a candidate actually files a complaint, it will definitely cause a sensation.
It can be said that most of the gentry in Zishui County are concentrated on the day of the county examination. Once a complaint is made, it is different from a complaint by a cunning citizen. It is a complaint by a Confucian scholar who is taking the scientific examination...
This behavior is no less than the modern college entrance examination, the first candidate to finish the exam said that I want to report so-and-so for bullying good people, which will immediately cause a sensation throughout the country.
The onlookers also nodded, this statement is reasonable and well-founded.
"He? Is it God's will?"
The ancient county magistrate was stunned. He murmured to himself: "He has just been appointed as the head of the county examination by my official, and now it is reported that he is raising white pheasants at home. Is this some auspicious blessing?"
In an instant, the ancient magistrate's words were like pouring water into hot oil.
What?
Is that Bai Gui from Bailu Academy the leader of the case?
Di-Ding Chen is he?
His family raised white pheasants, so he was blessed with auspiciousness and became the head of this session.
For a moment, there were some who were envious and some who were jealous. Some people immediately felt that it was not that they were not as talented as the chief of the case, but that their luck was not as good as that of the chief of the case. Others had doubts, whether it was the ancient county magistrate who had already
He knew the news about Xiangrui, so he named Ding Chen as the head of the case?
I came here specially to perform this scene.
This part of the question was not loud, but Magistrate Gu, who had prepared it in advance, smiled slightly and was confident. He motioned to the clerk next to him to post the test paper at the top of the case next to the list to show that he had judged the paper fairly.
Although this person's doubts are irrelevant, he can suppress them with his power.
But now that Bai Gui has real talent and practical knowledge, there is no need to do this. Instead, showing the test paper shows the auspicious effect.
"It's such a sophisticated article, every word of it is exquisite. He is the head of the case. I'm convinced..."
"Young people are sharp and enterprising, and people don't treat young people with arrogance. He is obviously a young man, but he just... alas..."
"I heard that his family is poor..."
"I see."
Seeing the exam papers posted on the wall, everyone was convinced.
There were even many Confucian scholars who saw this old-fashioned and conservative article. They were so radical that they immediately yelled, "Why are there such pedantic people?"
When I was a teenager from a poor family, I couldn't bear it anymore...
He is just a young man!
If he hadn't already experienced hardships in the world, who would be willing to stop moving forward.
Seeing this, County Magistrate Gu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was originally worried that although the suspicion of cheating would be dispelled after he exhibited the test papers, he was also a little worried about whether it would affect the reputation of the young man Bai Gui. This was something he couldn't bear, but
For the sake of his own future, he could only choose to sacrifice this part of his worries, but he never expected that Bai Gui's age and family background would make the world unable to bear harsh criticism.
"Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together..."
