Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 204
Tao Zhili secretly wondered why he suddenly said what was in his heart, but he couldn't take it back after he had said it. After thinking about it, Tao Zhili simply said to the other county magistrate: "My lord, because the student is a little dissatisfied, I will not take it back. The confirmed news got out, it was the student who was wrong, but the student also had doubts, how could a student who has only been in government school for two or three months, even if he didn’t even finish reading the Thousand Characters, be able to take the county examination?”

As soon as Tao Zhili said this, the people watching outside the court also whispered, and some who were studying in the school also said: "It is for this reason that it is not bad to be able to read the thousand-character essay in two months. It is absolutely impossible to take the county test at the level of the county."

Those around echoed: "Oh, this is not acceptable, it would be unfair to other candidates."

Magistrate Fang patted the gavel again, and the scene became quiet, and Magistrate Fang asked Tao Hechen, "Tao Hechen, what do you say about this matter?"

In this regard, Tao Hechen was confident, and he bowed to Fang County Magistrate and said: "My lord, although the student has only attended official school for two months, before going to official school, the three-character scriptures, the hundred surnames, and the thousand-character script I have already read it well, even the Analects of Confucius and Mencius have dabbled in it. It has been more than four months since I went to the official school, and I have finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics. It’s still solid, so letting students come to take the county test can be regarded as a practical experience.”

County magistrate Fang was shocked when he heard this, but in just a few months, he has read so many books, but, can he understand the book so quickly?If you can really understand it, you can be regarded as an extraordinary talent, and you are born to read!
Thinking about it again, Zhou Muwen is not some kind of vainglorious person, if he is willing to let Tao Hechen take the county examination, it must be that Tao Hechen's qualifications are enough.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Fang nodded: "If that's the case, you can definitely take the county examination."

After hearing this, Tao Zhili hurriedly said: "My lord, how could he have read so many books in just a few months, and even if he has read them, how can he understand them thoroughly?"

Tao Zhili didn't want to admit, let alone admit, that Tao Hechen was a natural genius for reading. If that was the case, he would be slandering him properly. Although he wouldn't go to jail or take away his status as a scholar, even if he was only fined to compensate him for silver taels, A public apology is enough to affect his reputation. If so, even if he becomes an official in the future, his official career will be affected by his reputation.

"What?" County Magistrate Fang's expression turned serious, and he asked Tao Zhili, "Are you questioning Zhou Xuesi?"

"Students don't dare." Tao Zhili said hurriedly. He was upset with Zhou Muwen, but he definitely didn't dare to say it so blatantly.

At this time, A Tao said: "My lord, Tao Zhili is just dissatisfied with Zhou Xuesi, and feels that he has given Tao Hechen a way."

A Tao is also shrewd. Now that he has turned himself in and dragged out Tao Zhili, he knows that it is impossible for him and Tao Zhili to be friends anymore, so he simply sells Tao Zhili out.

"You..." Tao Zhili was so angry in his heart: "When will I be dissatisfied with Zhou Xuesi, don't you want to swear."

"You're just dissatisfied with Zhou Xuesi!" A Tao said to Tao Zhili with his neck stuck.

"You!" The regret in Tao Zhili's heart, if he knew this before, he shouldn't have found this A Tao, and now he is in a dilemma, it is actually a dilemma.

"Since you think I'm partial to my students, give them a way." Sitting in the side hall, Zhou Muwen listened to the words in the courtroom, knowing that if he didn't help Tao Hechen suppress these doubts today, he would not be able to treat Tao Hechen in the future. It would definitely have an impact, so he came out and said, "Why don't we take Tao Hechen's test on the spot, and let everyone see whether my students have real talents or not?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Muwen asked Tao Hechen: "Ah Chen, are you afraid of being tested in class?"

"Students are not afraid." Tao Hechen cupped his hands and said, "Since there are doubts, students are willing to accept the test to prove their innocence."

"Ah, it's Zhou Xuesi!"

"It's really Zhou Xuesi!"

The students of the onlookers were a little excited when they saw Zhou Muwen. This is a great Confucian, and you can't easily see it on weekdays.

The people who were watching were still talking about it, thinking that what Tao Zhili said made sense. It is understandable to question Zhou Muwen in such a situation. After all, who can read all the four books and five classics in a few months, let alone history books and philosophers. I even felt that Tao Hechen was talking big.

But Zhou Muwen suddenly showed up and said that he wanted to take an on-site knowledge test, and seeing that Tao Hechen agreed without fear, he felt that he might really have real talents and learning.

For a while, I didn't know which side to support.

Seeing Zhou Muwen coming out, County Magistrate Fang hurriedly stood up to salute, and ordered someone to move a chair for Zhou Muwen, so he said to Zhou Muwen, "Zhou Xuesi, are you sure you want to take the on-the-spot assessment?"

"I'm sure." Zhou Muwen gave Tao Zhili a cold look: "I can't let my students and I be insulted for nothing. I, Zhou Muwen, hate things like favoritism and fraud the most in my life. Now that there are people who have doubts, I naturally want to prove it." Innocent, even my students can't be questioned and framed inexplicably."

"Yes." Seeing Zhou Muwen's insistence, County Magistrate Fang hurriedly agreed.

Then I heard Zhou Muwen say again: "I am Tao Hechen's teacher. I will not participate in the questioning. You should find someone to make the question on the spot again, so that no one will say that I am favoritism."

When Tao Zhili heard this, he couldn't help sweating, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. The look Zhou Muwen gave him just now made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At this moment, he regretted it a bit. do this.

However, it was obvious that nothing would go wrong, so why did he involve himself in it.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhili gave A Tao a bitter look. It was this person who turned himself in and dragged him out, otherwise...

Tao Zhili hated secretly, but there was nothing he could do. The matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

Soon, County Magistrate Fang asked the two deputy examiners who were in charge of the county examination to be brought in. In front of everyone present, they randomly asked Tao Hechen to answer the questions on the spot.

Tao Hechen was not afraid in the slightest. Although the questions given by the examiner were not perfectly answered, they were still well-organized and quoted from the classics.

Such a level is already extremely rare for a student taking the county examination. After hearing Tao Hechen's answer, County Magistrate Fang and the two deputy examiners showed satisfaction on their faces.

Zhou Muwen sat at the side smiling and said nothing, this direct test on the spot is enough to explain everything.

Tao Zhili, on the other hand, looked at Tao Hechen dumbfounded. After all, he had read books for so many years. Of course he knew whether Tao Hechen answered well, but this made Tao Zhili feel even more unbalanced.
