Yuan Fang was furious in her heart, but when she thought of her father's identity, she glanced at the examinees and patrolling officials in the ceremony room again, and could only suppress her anger, lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, Yuan's family relies on the judgment Live as an adult."

Then Ou Dunyi let out a cold snort and flung his sleeves away.

Yuan Fang looked at his back with cold eyes, and sneered in her heart, what an idiot, he believed whatever he said?

Every time he speaks, he is in front of everyone, and there is nothing wrong with it, even if Ou Dunyi knows that he is teasing him, so what?

He mentioned a few strange things, but he didn't let Ou Dunyi do it.

Such an idiot can actually go all the way to Jurenlai. After entering the examination room, he still doesn't restrain his mind and prepare to answer the questions.

Yuan Fang looked down on Ou Dunyi in her heart, but she didn't know that she had been thinking about it for too long and was also affected.

In the end, his father was just an aide of Tongsan, and he had to rely on Ou Tongsan to make a living. Although he thought he was well educated, he didn't dare to fall out with the Ou family before he was in high school.

Yuan Fang looked for an empty room with a gloomy face, only to find that the room above her head had a ray of sunlight when she sat down. When she looked up, her expression changed drastically. She only hoped that the weather in Guangzhou would be fine these days, so don’t leave rain.

Yuan Fang prayed like this, but it didn't take long before he wished it rained.

It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather was still hot. Everyone was sitting in the cramped numbered room, sweating profusely. Yuan Fang kept wiping the sweat with her sleeves, feeling a little dizzy, and went to find a teapot to pour water. Boiled water, he had to boil it himself if he wanted to drink it.

And there is a wooden bucket filled with clear water outside the number room, and candidates can take it at will.

Yuan Fang looked at the teapot, then raised her head to look at the big sun, wondering if it was more bitter to boil without drinking water, or it was more bitter to make a fire to boil water in such a hot day.

Gu Jingyun, who was not far away, washed the pot and boiled water when he entered the number room. Zhao Ning originally wanted to sit and get acquainted with the number room, but when he saw Gu Jingyun's movements, he hurriedly followed.

So when many people's mouths were so dry that they were about to smoke, Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning had already drank cool boiled water.

As soon as the time came, the bell of the ceremony room rang, and the door of the ceremony room was slowly closed, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave.

And many yamen servants poured into the number room, occupying one room every other room. The invigilators took the test basket and divided them into three teams. Two people in one team distributed the test questions, answer sheets and draft paper, and one person distributed the other to supervise.

After the examination papers are distributed and it is noon, everyone can glance at the examination papers and then prepare lunch.

Of course, some excitedly skipped lunch, but stared at the test paper with piercing eyes, planning to do the easy questions first when they just entered the examination room.

Gu Jingyun also glanced at the test questions, checked the answer sheet and the draft, put them aside after checking that there were no problems, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.

He got up too early this morning, and it's too hot now, so he has to meditate first to practice internal strength to cool down, cook some porridge when he feels better, take a nap when he's full, and start doing problems in the afternoon when the weather is cooler.

Gu Jingyun arranged his itinerary in his heart and sat cross-legged on the bed without moving.

Zhao Ning looked up at him, weighed his and Gu Jingyun's strengths in his mind, and felt that he couldn't match Gu Jingyun's in answering the question.

Gu Jingyun can write a theory in an hour, but it takes him a day or two to conceive before writing, so he still has to arrange his own time.

Thinking of this, he dismissed Gu Jingyun, washed his hands and dried them, took the test questions and began to think seriously.

Gu Jingyun was quiet in the No. 1 room, but Li Baolu was hot and bustling outside.

The crowd of onlookers helped to escort these people to the government office, the magistrate took a long time to rush back from the ceremony room, and when he came back, he went up to the hall for interrogation with a frosty face.

Destroying the rural examination is a serious crime, even Zhou Yi dare not let such a thing happen under his rule.

So as soon as he came up, he stared at the plaintiff displeasedly, slapped the gavel hard, and asked: "Who is in the hall, why are you disturbing the government office?"

Li Baolu knelt down slightly, kowtowed her head and said, "My lord, Gu Lishi, the daughter of the people, the husband of the daughter of the people is a candidate for the provincial examination in Jinke, and his family is poor, so only the daughter of the people came to take the exam with her husband."

Everyone looked at Li Baolu, who was still childish but serious, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but they were very curious. That talented gentleman is also very vulgar, and he can afford to marry such a young daughter-in-law. mouth?

Zhou Yi also frowned, and asked, "Then where is your husband? Why are you the one in charge?"

"My husband is here for reference, so I went into the examination room naturally." Seeing that Zhou Yi was going to get angry, Li Baolu immediately said, "We knew that someone was going to target us, so we didn't dare to sleep all night, so we slipped out of the house early and copied other lanes Go to the ceremony room, and let the Shutong, the friend of Mr. Zhao, drive the horse-drawn carriage to lure away those people with bad intentions, and then reach the examination room smoothly. Otherwise, if we really go to the examination room in a horse-drawn carriage, I am afraid that we will miss the exam today .”

Zhou Yi paused angrily, looked at the group of men kneeling below, and frowned. He always felt that the kneeling people below looked a little familiar.

He slapped the gavel and asked in a cold voice: "How do you, a woman, judge that they are trying to make your husband fail the provincial examination? Don't sue on speculation. If you don't tell the truth, you will be charged with defamation. If you are responsible, you will be imprisoned.”

Li Baolu ignored his insulting words to the woman, and didn't mind his threats, she still followed her own plan and said, "My lord, this matter will start five days ago. Five days ago, the maid at home went out to buy some vegetables. I bought some fermented soy beans and came back, but there were crotons in the fermented soy beans. Because the girl read some medical books and ate them first, I found out. Crotons can only be bought in drugstores, and they are much more valuable than soybeans. Who knows? Do you use crotons instead of soybeans when making tempeh?"

"On the second day, I accompanied my husband to the bookstore. When I passed by Piaoxiang Building, a window on the third floor suddenly fell down. Fortunately, the girl pushed her husband away quickly, otherwise he would be injured. Later, the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Building We came out to apologize, and we went up to the third floor with him to have a look, and found that the window was from a private room, but it did not fall off naturally, but was sawed off and left behind. It’s just because the box was not occupied at the time, so the culprit was not found out.”

Zhou Yi looked at the master, the master nodded at the secretary below, and the secretary hurriedly stepped back to check.

Li Baolu paused for a moment and continued: "If it was just like this, my husband and I would not have suspected that someone was targeting us, but on the second day, when my husband and I walked out onto the street, a burly man rushed towards us. He bumped into my husband without even looking, and I had no choice but to take my husband and jump over his head. The burly man couldn't hold his feet, and hit the wall behind us with his head, directly hitting a hole in his head Passed out."

"Fortunately, there were many people on the street at that time, and the villagers were willing to testify for us, proving that he ran over by himself and had nothing to do with us, so the yamen guards only took him away and did not arrest us. But the next day, That is, the day before yesterday, my husband went to the inn to give last encouragement to the same year people from last year, and another accident happened."

Everyone: ...One accident a day, it's a miracle that the scholar can escape it all the time.

"We all know the clerks at the inn. Not only my husband, but I also go to the inn every now and then. But that day, a young clerk was replaced. There was no accident when serving others, but when it was my husband's turn to serve tea, he went on a rampage. Seeing that the teapot was about to pour tea before it touched the table, I felt panic and pulled my husband to the side, the teapot tipped over, and all the boiling water in it was poured on my husband’s seat, steaming On the other hand, it was just boiled water, luckily I pulled my husband away, otherwise the boiling water poured down from the top of my head..."

Li Baolu didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

This is what annoys her the most.

If she hadn't been by Gu Jingyun's side all the time, she might have really been plotted against.

It was scalding boiling water, and even a drop of it splashed on her would make her heart ache to death.

"There are often rumors that some jealous villains kill those candidates who are likely to be among the best in advance in order to get a ranking, so that there will be less competition." Li Baolu looked up at Zhou Yi with a serious face, "My lord Well, it’s okay for such a villain to fail the exam. If he passes the exam and seeks an official position, isn’t it the common people who will suffer in the end? And my husband is only fourteen years old. Although he is known as a genius, he is still young. The daughters of the people feel that they are dangerous. It is definitely not possible to only harm my husband, but please be aware, sir, there may be other candidates who were harmed."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and looked at Zhou Yi in the lobby with piercing eyes.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but turn cold. He naturally had rumors of such a thing, but he never thought it would happen to him.

If there are really outstanding candidates who are murdered and are not allowed to refer to them, will they be convinced after they are found out?

The township examination is only once every three years, and there are 1,095 days and nights in three years. Zhou Yi feels chills all over his body just thinking about it. He attaches the most importance to education.

For a moment, Zhou Yi was annoyed at Li Baolu's nonsense nonsense, and hated the person behind him for being too vicious and trying to make trouble for him.

He glanced at the master.

The master stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, this matter has already been reported. If there are no other victims, let's go. If there are, if your lord does not investigate thoroughly, those students will be disappointed. If they are not convinced by then, they will report..."

Zhou Yi could only stare at Li Baolu, slapped the gavel hard and asked, "Who is your husband and where does he live? The maid who bought the tempeh was still there. I want to summon you one by one to ask questions." .”

Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Yi is really not a very good person, his weakness is timidity, but his strengths are also timidity.

"My daughter's husband is surnamed Gu and named Jingyun. He is from Qiongzhou. Last year, the trial case was the first..."

Last year's case was personally ordered by Zhou Yi. He still remembered Gu Jingyun, a talented but proud young man. Zhou Yi wanted to cultivate him at the beginning, but he was too arrogant, so he lost the desire to see him. I didn't expect this matter to be related to him.

Only then did the onlookers understand why the murderer targeted the young couple. Isn't the young genius a strong competitor?

No wonder there is an accident every day, it is so miserable and so lucky.
