It's April in the blink of an eye, and the day of the college entrance examination has arrived. Under normal circumstances, the whole family should be preparing wholeheartedly for Wang Xian to enter the examination room, and then Dad will say a few more words, "If you don't succeed, you will be successful," etc.
Encourage the son who will rewrite history for the Wang family.
But now, Wang Xingye and Aunt Wang don't want Wang Xian to go out for the exam. The old lady showed a rare weakness and said: "Xiao Er, the scholar's life is not important. It is too dangerous outside, so we should stay at home."
"I heard that the Yamen and Jin Yiwei are having a huge quarrel over you. At this juncture, you should not show your face so as not to cause trouble to Zhou Zhengtai..." Wang Xingye also said with a frown. These days, he was ordered by the prefect
The adults gave special permission for not going to work, and even Wang Gui's family was recruited to stay in Hangzhou temporarily, so that the Jin Yiwei could not catch Wang Xian and take it out on them. The whole Wang family is now in a state of turmoil, and family members cannot leave the front door or the second door.
Gui Wangxian's cheap sons were afraid of causing harm to Chi Yu. They wished they had changed their surnames, so naturally they had not dared to visit him for a long time.
But Wang Xian went anyway. It's not his style to be shy. Besides, he had a deal with Zhou Xin first, so he had to take this test.
The academic examination is the examination that really determines the qualifications of the students. It is presided over by the Tixue Dao of each province. Although the examination of scholars is based on counties, if the Tixue adults take the examination county by county, then there will be more than 100 counties in one province.
It was trivial and delayed too much, so they all took the exam in various prefectures and cities. Wang Xian was a student in Fuyang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, so he naturally took the exam in Hangzhou City. Since Hangzhou is the provincial capital, he was the first in the province to take the exam.
After the prefecture exams are over, Mr. Tixue will spend several months visiting all the prefectures and cities in Zhejiang to select the talents from each prefecture and county, but that has nothing to do with Wang Xian.
The academic examination is more formal than the previous county examination and prefecture examination. It is taken in a specially built examination shed. The examination shed is the common name, and the official name is "chang". The reputation of the examination room is directly related to the rich and poor of the prefecture.
, Hangzhou is one of the richest places in the world. The examination shed built there is of natural style - it occupies the entire examination room street, with the East and West Gates at the far south, and the first courtyard of the National Secondary School. During exams, this courtyard will be crowded with people waiting anxiously.
There were many family members and many snack sellers among them, hawking and shouting, making it very noisy.
There is a gate to the north of the courtyard, called Gongmen, which is also known as "Dragon Gate" as the saying goes. There is another large courtyard inside the Dragon Gate. More than 600 examination-taking students from all over the government are waiting here for the roll call. No other people are allowed to enter.
At this time, the sky is still dark, and the east is slightly white, and the courtyard in Longmen is already full of children waiting. When the candidates from a certain county are called, a big paper sign will be placed in the courtyard, and the name of the county will be written on it.
, there are lights in the cards, so you can see them clearly. Furthermore, because of the large number of people, the candidates in each county are arranged in advance. There are fifty people in each row. You know which card you are in, and you can move forward when your card is about to be called.
, it’s not too late yet, so although there are many people, it’s not crowded.
Further north are three halls, with the auditorium in the middle. Tixue sits in the west, and faces the east for roll call. When a certain county is called, as a rule, the county instructor and the guarantor of the students will come forward and stand behind Tixue.
, and then Fang called the candidates' names. But today, there were several guards wearing flying fish uniforms standing beside the exam hall, staring unkindly at the candidates who were being examined.
Especially when they arrived in Fuyang County, the Jinyi guards opened their eyes even more and scanned every child's face. However, after checking each of the sixty people one by one, they still didn't see the person they were looking for.
Grabbing the roster from the deacon's hand, the Jinyiwei quickly scanned it with a dark face. Sure enough, Wang Xian's column was empty, and no one came to call his name.
"Damn it, I'm too scared to come here," Jin Yiwei spat, "Master Baihu, what should I do?"
"Wait and see." Du Baihu was still sitting. Usually he could sit without standing. At this time, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking... In fact, this Wang Xian had no enmity with him or Xu Qianhu.
But Mr. Liu said that this kid killed one of his men, and he must pay for it with blood, leaving his family ruined.
The trouble is that Master Six is not allowed to ask about the murder case and wants them to kill Wang Xian on other charges, saying that it is to save Master Jiu's face, because Master Jiu has already closed the case under Hu Wei's pressure. Du Bai
But Hu is not easy to fool. He secretly checked and found that the crux of the problem was not Master Jiu. On the contrary, Master Zhu Jiu was wiping Master Liu's ass.
It turns out that the dead Xiaoqi Changzai was a death row prisoner saved by Zhu Liuye and Li Daitao. At that time, because of his friendship with Changzai's father, Zhu Liuye used a dead beggar to kill him on a whim.
He was exchanged from death row, then reported to death, and learned about the case.
Jin Yiwei has done too many things like playing with national laws. Even Du Baihu himself once paid money to do this kind of thing for several big families. It was originally unremarkable, but Mr. Liu really shouldn't have done that all at once.
Being transformed into a royal guard made him want revenge. As a result, he returned to Fuyang County in a rage, but was hit and killed by his own ship...
Zhu Jiuye couldn't explain why the warship appeared in the Fuchun River in the middle of the night, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb. But Liu Ye in the capital was very angry, although there was no evidence that He Chang was killed.
, but when did Jin Yiwei talk about the evidence when handling the case? He determined that Wang Xian had done something to kill Chang Zai, but Jiu Ye closed the case, so he could not have a seizure.
Originally, this little thing was forgotten in the past, but the widowed wife who was always there would go to Zhenfusi every three days to cry, which made Mr. Liu extremely upset, so naturally he couldn't forget it. This time, Qianhu in Zhejiang Province
After it was established, he took the opportunity to let them handle the matter.
At first, Xu Qianhu and Du Baihu thought that this was just a piece of cake. Who would have expected that the Sesame Official was actually protected by the Wudang Sect and the Zhejiang Ancha Division, preventing them from doing anything. The Wudang Sect’s Sun Zhenren’s grandchildren live directly in his house.
At home, Zhou Xin, the Zhejiang Procuratorate, insisted on a joint public trial by the Procuratorial Division and the Zhenfu Division... The original charge was "collusion," a trumped-up charge. Wouldn't a public trial exonerate that kid?
Is it because Xu Qianhu has been refusing to agree, or is he insisting on arresting people, taking them back to Qianhu Station, and not disposing of them as he pleases?
But that guy even gave up on taking the college entrance examination, and devoted himself to becoming a coward, with the ability to penetrate heaven and earth, and there was really nothing he could do.
When it was daylight, the last candidate also went in, but there was still no sign of Wang Xian. Du Baihu slapped the chair, stood up with a dark face and said: "Go in and search again."
"Wait a minute." Xu Tixue, who had been suppressing his anger, stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "The examination room is locked and no one is allowed in or out. This is the law of our ancestors."
"We have a serious criminal." Du Baihu said with a dark face: "If you let him sneak into the examination room and become a scholar, your face will not look good, sir."
Ti Xuedao was an imperial envoy of the emperor, and could sit on an equal footing with the chief envoys and inspectors. Xu Tixue was born in the Imperial Academy and had a lot of arrogance in his chest. How could he be intimidated by a small household? He said with a straight face and suppressed his anger:
"Outside the examination room, you Jin Yiwei can arrest people at will, but inside the examination room, you just can't do it."
"Master Xu, you have to think clearly about the consequences," Du Baihu said in a low voice, "You don't have to offend our commanding officer for this little thing."
"You..." When Ji Gang was mentioned, Xu Tixue was naturally afraid, but a warrior like Du Baihu obviously didn't understand the psychology of scholars. If Xu Tixue was frightened like this, how could he have the nerve to hang around in Shilin?
? Sure enough, I saw his old face turned red, standing straight at the door, and said angrily: "If you step into the examination room, this exam will be canceled. I will go to Beijing immediately, complain to the emperor, and see Commander Ji.
"Knowing or not"
"You..." Du Baihu really didn't dare to push through. Although it was just a scholar examination, it was a serious ceremony for the country to recruit talents. It was related to the national body. No one could protect him if something happened. He wanted to understand the power of the
Neng said harshly: "You are cruel" and then angrily led the person away.
In the room, Xu Tixue also breathed a sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and silently recited a few words, "No, it's not correct," then turned around and went in to give the exam questions to the Hangzhou candidates.
In the main hall of the examination hall, the five northernmost halls are used for the office work of people who ask questions, collect and read papers, etc.; there are two large open sheds on the east and west sides, each with more than ten rooms, more than ten feet in the north and south, and the shed is two to three feet deep.
There is a plaque hanging under each corridor, that is, the shed number, which is like the sky and the ground. There are tables and chairs neatly arranged facing north. At this time, it is full of candidates waiting for the test.
In the examination booth of Dizihao, Wang Jin and others were shocked when they saw Wang Xian sitting there... At first, when the roll call was called outside, they didn't see Wang Xian, thinking that this cheap dad didn't dare to come, but who knew
As soon as they came in, they saw that he had arrived a long time ago and was sitting leisurely at the table, looking at them with a smile.
None of them dared to look at him. They were worried that they would be harmed. They had never been to the Wang family. They really didn't deserve to be a son of a man. They each sat down in their seats in shame. When the master removed the questions, they started thinking hard.
Solve the problem and don't care about anything else...
When Wang Xian saw the topics posted, and saw that Mr. Ti Xue had indeed not tricked him, and that the three topics all had hints of the Chinese New Year, he calmly polished off his ink, picked up his pen, and slowly wrote out the draft.
In fact, he had already written essays for Wang and Jin, but he was just worried that they would be loudmouthed, so he planned to give them to them before the exam. Who would have expected that as soon as something happened to him, these three bastards would hide as far away as possible and never come to his door again?
No matter how despicable Wang Xian is, he will never reveal it to them again. He should simply burn those articles and let them seek their own happiness.
There are more than a dozen prefectures to take exams for, so the college exam process is simpler than the county exam. There is only one main exam to decide the quota. Of course, to show solemnity, there is also a symbolic re-examination, but it does not affect the results.
.So on the day of the exam, I already knew whether I was a scholar or not.
At noon, when more than a dozen candidates had finished answering their papers, Wang Xian also presented the papers, which he had written stroke by stroke, to the master.
Xu Tixue only glanced at the scroll and drew a circle on it to indicate that he had hit the mark.
