Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 201
When handing in the papers this time, the candidates obviously lost the joy of yesterday, and they walked out one by one with heavy faces. Today's countermeasure questions were too remote, which really exceeded the expectations of the candidates.

But if it is said to be remote, it is also a little unfair. This question is very down-to-earth, and it is almost a conflict that is often encountered in the village. It is easy to solve this contradiction reasonably, but it is necessary to use the law to solve it, but it has caused countless candidates to be confused. up.

If you haven't memorized "Song Xingtong", candidates will not know the corresponding legal provisions.

The candidates waiting outside the gate no longer laughed, and each of them looked dignified. At this moment, Su Liang hurried out.

He tried his best to conceal his inner excitement, and acted as dignified as other candidates.

But his actions betrayed his feelings. When he saw Fan Ning, he couldn't bear it anymore and gave Fan Ning an excited hug.

Fan Ning pushed him away with a look of disgust, "Go away, it's so disgusting, hugging me makes goose bumps all over my body."

Su Liang didn't care, grabbed his arm and asked excitedly: "Tell me the truth, how did you know that you have to take the "Song Xingtong" exam?"

Su Liang already firmly believed that Fan Ning knew the exam questions in advance, otherwise he would not have forced himself to memorize "Song Xingtong" so hard, and what he memorized were all clauses related to property and contracts.

This time he can't lie to himself again.

Fan Ning smiled lightly, "It looks like you did well in the exam!"

Su Liangliang nodded, "I have memorized all relevant legal provisions."

"Then let me ask you, how did you answer the county magistrate's judgment?"

"Of course it is unreasonable and illegal. The forest land has been reclaimed for more than ten years. It is clearly stipulated in the "Song Xingtong" that the ownership belongs to Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng can transfer it. As for the rural contract, it is not clear whether there is an intermediary. It doesn't matter, as long as it is true and effective, so I deny the county magistrate's judgment."

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "I am the same. I think the county magistrate's judgment was wrong. Let's answer the same thing. Let's have a drink."

"Wait, don't interrupt me, you haven't answered the question I just asked?"

"This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the city and talk about it."

The two squeezed into an ox cart going back to the city, and came to Zhulou again. As soon as they entered the gate, the shopkeeper came out to greet him, and said with a smile, "I guessed that Fan Xiaoguan was coming, so I reserved a special room on the second floor." A table by the window."

Fan Ning saw that the lobby was full of diners, all of whom were scholars rushing back to the city. He was moved and quickly saluted the shopkeeper, "Thank you for the arrangement!"

"You're welcome, little official please!"

Fan Ning and Su Liang went up to the second floor, and there was indeed a vacant seat in the corner.

"Sir, please sit here!"

The shopkeeper invited Fan Ning to sit down, arranged for a bartender to come forward to order, and then hurried downstairs. He was too busy to stop for a moment.

Fan Ning wanted to ask him about yesterday's situation, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper left, so he had to swallow his questions.

Su Dian ordered five or six dishes, and ordered another pot of sake. When the bartender served tea, he asked eagerly in a low voice: "What's going on? How do you know the topic?"

Fan Ning wanted to cut this guy's neck off, since he took advantage of it, he stopped asking, and insisted on asking.

In fact, Fan Ning is also very aware of the consequences of leaking the imperial examination questions. He has always wanted to use a very secret method to achieve it. For example, he designed a review plan for several juniors. They will feel very familiar with the imperial examination questions, but they will never think that they have broken up the content of the imperial examination questions into the review plan.

It's just that Su Liang was too hasty, and he had to force him to review "Song Xingtong" clearly, which led him to guess that he knew the imperial examination questions.

This question is too difficult, Fan Ning pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Actually, the emperor himself leaked it to me."

Su Liang's eyes widened all of a sudden, he was confused when he heard it, and the emperor himself revealed it, what's going on?

However, Fan Ning didn't seem to be joking, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't Feng Jing tell you yesterday? Three years ago, I had a fight with Zhang Yaozuo's grandson in Pang Ji's mansion, right in front of the emperor."

Su Liangliang nodded, "He said it, but he didn't say it in front of the emperor."

"It was the Son of Heaven who put up a test to test me and Zhang Chun. In the end, I beat Zhang Chun. The Son of Heaven was in a good mood. He asked me if I would take the Tongzi test in three years. I said I would definitely participate, and he asked me to read more "Song Xingtong" ", it will be beneficial during the imperial examination."

Fan Ning talked nonsense with half truth and half lie, but this kind of lie couldn't be exposed, but he still gave Su Liang an answer, and he didn't care whether Su Liang could accept it or not.

Su Liang opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it. He felt incredible.

"Is that true? The emperor prepared the exam questions three years ago?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "He is the Son of Heaven, a dragon among men. We cannot understand his thinking. We only think about today or tomorrow, but he is thinking about a hundred years after the Song Dynasty. The imperial examination questions are one of his thoughts on governing the country. It means that maybe he has already thought about the imperial examination questions 20 years later."

It makes sense for Su Liang to think about it. Perhaps the emperor wanted to implement the "Song Xingtong" among the county magistrates, so there are today's imperial examination questions. This is a manifestation of his ruling thinking.

Su Liang lowered his voice and said again: "It's unbelievable that the emperor leaked the imperial examination questions to you three years ago."

"Then tell me, besides this, what other channels do I have to know about the imperial examination questions?"

"That's right. I wondered if senior Ouyang leaked it to you. After thinking about it, he only knew the title this morning. Except for the Son of Heaven, no one really knew in advance."

Seeing that the trick was successful, Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "Actually, I'm not sure, but what if it's true? So I'd rather work harder than lose this opportunity."

Su Liang was thoughtful, "It makes sense, don't be afraid of [-], just in case!"

Fan Ning lowered his voice again, "Only you and I know about this matter, and it must not be spread."

Su Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not a fool, but I'm a little worried about Li Dashou. Didn't you ask him to review "Song Xingtong" too?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "He didn't read the book I asked him to read at all, and there was no trace of turning over "Song Xingtong", so I didn't tell him some details, which he couldn't think of."

"What details haven't been told to Li Dashou?" A familiar girl's voice suddenly came from behind.

Fan Ning hurriedly turned around, only to see a young scholar standing beside him, wearing a square gauze cap, a white scholar's uniform, a brocade belt around his waist, and leather boots on his feet. , it was Jupe.

It was the first time for Fanning to see the grown-up Zhu Pei in men's clothing, and he froze for a moment.

Zhu Pei suddenly felt a little unhappy and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, so you don't know me anymore?"

"No! No! I haven't seen you in men's clothing for a long time."

"That's right!"

Zhu Pei thought that she rarely wore men's clothes in the past two years, and it was normal for Fan Ning to be in a daze for a while. She turned her anger into joy, and dragged a chair to sit down. Fan Ning got up quickly and gave her the seat by the window. Sit down by yourself.

This considerate move made Zhu Pei smile. She picked up the jug and filled Fan Ning's glass of wine. Su Liang couldn't help but said, "Jupei, my wine glass is also empty."

But Zhu Pei pushed the jug to him, and said bluntly: "There are only two people who can serve wine in this yamen, and you are not among them for the time being."

"Humph!"

Su Liang had no choice but to pour himself a drink, and he asked curiously, "Who is the other one?"

"Of course it's my grandfather. As for Fan Ah-Dai, he made this yamen servant a fortune, so for the sake of the money, I'll pour wine for him!"

Zhu Pei spoke triumphantly, but Fan Ning rolled her eyes when she heard it, saying that what a philistine does, all the good things are destroyed by her.

"Where's Miss Jian?"

Fan Ning didn't want to listen any more, he turned his head quickly and saw Jian Meizi sitting on a seat near the stairs, and several scholars at the same table who were happy at first, but now they were all silent, and from time to time they secretly looked at the girl on the table. A big sword with a length of one meter looked over.

"Forget it, this yamen doesn't say spoiling things, just talk about the topic, how did you do in the exam?" Zhu Pei stared at Fan Ning with a pair of pretty eyes.

"feel good!"

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said, "It is estimated that [-] of the [-] candidates feel that they have done well in the exam."

"not necessarily!"

Su Liang muttered softly at the side, "Yesterday was about the same. After today's exam, most of the candidates came out with a sad face. Few of them dared to say that they did well in the exam."

"It seems that you did well in the exam. I read today's countermeasure questions. It's really not easy to answer this question well. Unless you get the questions in advance and memorize "Song Xingtong", it's hard to say that you did well in the exam. "

Zhu Pei was extremely clever, and pointed out Fanning's details straight to the point.
