Chapter 338 Zhang Xinzhi's Advantage
Zhaoyang County City, South Camp.

In the main tent of the army, Xue Ying, the captain of Xue Xiong's personal guard, walked in carelessly.This man has a short stature, but he develops horizontally. He is full of tendons, and his neck is hugged by muscles.

As soon as this person entered the big tent, he kept smiling at Xue Xiong, causing Xue Xiong to scold him impatiently before he stopped.

"What are you laughing at, kid? Is Bai Huan gone?"

"What are you going for?" Xue Ying pursed his mouth, "A little one with seventh-rank experience really considers himself a person, and he must meet Mr. Lang."

Xue Xiong smiled: "He is in a hurry, and I don't know how much money he got from Fang's family? In the past half a year, a lot has happened in his family. An accident happened to Fang's family, and he was appointed to implicate him. I want to use my prestige to show Zhang Xinzhi."

Xue Ying hesitantly took a sip.

"If it weren't for the fact that he belongs to Da Langjun, I would have slapped him so much! He actually wanted to use the name of Lang Jun to ask soldiers to stop the guards from the palace from leaving the city! Even if Da Lang knew it, he would fight him immediately Break his leg. Adding trouble to Ba Ye in Ba Ye's fief, is he rushing to put eye drops on the crown prince?"

"I know you don't like him," Xue Xiong lightly kicked Xue Ying, "but at any rate, our Xue family is from a family, so please keep some virtue in your mouth! Why do you want to make his whole family pay for the prince?" go in?"

Xue Ying said hesitantly: "How can we, who are we, Mr. Lang still doesn't know me?"

"Hey!" Xue Xiong glared at Xue Ying, "The news of Zhang Xinzhi's appointment as Zhaoyang came a few days ago, who among you told Bai Huan about Zhang Xinzhi and my Xue family? Bai Huan messed with someone surnamed Zhang, and then asked Zhang Xinzhi to put him and Fang together!"

"It's Bai who committed suicide!" Xue Ying sneered, "Relying on the power of the uncle, he colluded with outsiders in our field to get money from his own family. How many businesses can't be done by our Xue family? It's obviously him My heart is getting bigger, and I want to hide the master's family's private property. A few days ago, I dared to put my idea on the military resources, and I didn't kill him on the spot, so I did it to the uncle!"

"We thought about it for a while. If our grandpa moved this guy because of these things, the uncle would have to be suspicious. But if it was put on Zhang Xinzhi, the family also knew that the relationship between Langjun and this person was not good enough. No. It was Bai who stretched out his hand to Zhang Xinzhi's territory, and the gentleman dealt with him smoothly, and the family would not blame him, and he happened to pay back the favor, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"It's a bit of a waste of time, but you still have the nerve to show off in front of me?" Xue Xiong sneered, "Go, bring him in! In the end, I will be the villain."

Xue Yingnuo turned around and went back, and not long after, he led a person into the big tent.

This person was in his early thirties, and his face was full of anxiety.After seeing Xue Xiong, he hurriedly knelt down: "Third Master, that Zhang Xinzhi sent the palace guards out of the city. He really didn't pay attention to my Xue family! Who doesn't know that Zhaoyang is under the military control of the third master, with hundreds of cavalry He was dispatched without going through the Chinese army, he is going to rebel!"

Bai Huan was so anxious that he almost lost his mind.

He knew that Fang Chaoli and other officials in the county welcomed Zhang Xinzhi, and he also knew that the officials were summoned by Zhang Xinzhi to Xiushan.But as soon as the officials left, Zhang Xinzhi mobilized the guards of the palace, and Bai Huan knew who Zhang Xinzhi was going to punish with his knees.

Zhang Xinzhi took care of Fang's house, and even Bai Huan couldn't escape death!Six thousand acres of fertile land and 2 taels of silver, in the court and Xue's family, he only had one dead word.

"Third Master! You are the head of this county. You didn't come to see him at the beginning of the letter. He is also a noble concubine and a member of the eighth county king. I am afraid that the person who came is not kind! Third Master, please send troops to reprimand the guards of the palace. And come back, don't lose the face of our Xue family."

Xue Xiong was amused.

"What's the face of cooperating with my Xue family? I, the third master, don't count what I say, but I want you to give me advice?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Huan hurriedly defended himself, and he also knew that he had said something wrong in a hurry.

But Xue Xiong was not interested in listening at all.

"You don't have to rush to rescue the Fang family. My elder brother will deal with your messes. I don't bother with the third master. This Zhaoyang County is originally the fief of the county king, and Zhang Xinzhi is the Lanxiu Palace. Shi, he holds the order of the county king to mobilize the guards of the palace, and no one can say anything wrong. Our Xue family has a deep relationship with the prince. It is very easy for me to send troops to block the palace. You are not afraid that your majesty will blame the prince for this matter. on my father's body?"

As soon as Bai Huan heard the words "your nonsense", his body began to weaken, and he and the third master already knew everything.In addition to being concerned about the reputation of the prince, Xue Xiong clearly stated that he would not help the Fang family at all.This made Bai Huan momentarily bewildered!
"Third master, save the little one! The little one is willing to lead the horse and stirrup for the third master, and be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life. All the wealth that the young one gets is willing to dedicate to the third master. I just ask the third master to stop that Zhang Xinzhi I believe that this person has no real evidence in his hands, if Fang Chaoli is tortured into a trick, the court will hold him accountable in the future, and you will also be implicated, San Ye~!"

Bai Huan took a few steps on his knees and hugged Xue Xiong's calf, his whole body trembling like a stroke.

"Hey~~," Xue Xiong sighed deliberately, "Bai Huan, you came from my elder brother's servant, and you have been in love with my family for several lifetimes. If someone else was doing this, three I'll play tricks for you, sir, and that's okay. But this person is Zhang Xinzhi. Lao Bai, do you know why His Majesty chose me, the third master, to guard Zhaoyang, a place that must be contested?"

Bai Huan was very clear about this point, so he just opened his mouth.

"The third master withstood the night attack of Wu's No.1 general Chen Shanyao in the Jiang'an camp, and severely injured him. The prestige of the third master made all the people of Wu fearful. With the third master in Zhaoyang, it is inevitable for the Wu people to attack Will think twice."

Xue Xiong gently patted Bai Huan on the shoulder: "You came to work with me after the third master entered Zhaoyang last year, and the soldiers and horses in the county are not the same group as I was in the Jiang'an camp, so you are probably I don't know, the third master, I was able to defend the Jiang'an camp because of the help of Zhang Xinzhi. The third master's achievement happened to be indebted to others. Moreover, everyone in the Jiang'an camp knows this favor. The generals know it, and so do His Majesty and the crown prince. If the third master and I turn against Zhang Xinzhi at this time, how do you think your majesty and the crown prince will treat our Xue family?"

"This, this, since the third master has friendship, why not..."

Xue Xiong sneered in his heart, since he opened his mouth, he didn't intend to let Bai Huan continue to live, the eldest brother sent this person to disgust him, how could he let Bai Huan have the possibility of turning things around.

"Magistrate Yue's death must have been caused by Fang Chaoli!?"

Bai Huan defended with snot and tears: "I didn't expect the Fang family to be so bold, I really don't know anything about this fact!"

Xue Xiong didn't bother to argue with him any longer, and directly said Zhu Xin's words: "Zhaoyang is the territory of the Eighth Prince, and the Fang family is just something left for the Eighth Prince to test his sword. And this letter is actually sent by the Eighth Prince He wants to use Fang's family to avenge his friend, how can our Xue family stop? Our Xue family's capital in the army is not the prince, nor the soldiers in his hand, but the friends we have made for several lifetimes And Paoze's help. Zhang Xinzhi risked his life to save my Jiang'an camp. Third master, I turned around and treated him like this. If this matter spreads to the north, those children of my Xue family in the northern army will go to the battlefield. If they are in danger , who else will come to rescue? After a few years like this, our Xue family will be completely defeated."

"That, that, little one!"

Xue Xiong's smile began to fade: "You are a smart person and know what to do. The Xue family doesn't want you to be thrown into prison by Zhang Xinzhi, because in that case, people who are not friends with our Xue family will put you in jail." The idea is coming to you. Don't you think so?"

Bai Huan stared at the rough-looking third master with wide eyes, forcing him to die himself!

"Or third master, I will take the deputy prison van and take you to my elder brother before Zhang Xinzhi?"

These words completely shattered all of Bai Huan's luck.

Why go to the uncle?That was obviously to force the uncle to personally kill his family to prove that the uncle had nothing to do with him.

Xue Xiong ignored Bai Huan who was completely limp on the ground, but got up and walked out of the big tent.

Xue Ying, who was following behind him, suddenly asked him: "Your Majesty, can that Zhang Xiucai really win the court ceremony? I just received the news that the county's money and grain accounts have just been done, and the government's case files are also being sorted out continuously. After several nights, even if Zhang Xinzhi is capable enough, it will take the hundred and ten people two months to find out something, so is he going to take another risk?"

Xue Xiong smiled: "Don't you think that this scholar dares to surround Wu's giant fleet with only a few small boats in his hands; he dares to frighten Wu's No. 1 general with five hundred beggars in the field. It seems bold, In fact, they are all forced to take risks. When he really does things, he has the shadow of calculating everything. You can see that he is good at predicting the enemy when he calculates Chen Shanyao's second attack on the camp. Since he If you dare to fight in Xiushan, you must be [-]% sure!"

Zhang Zhe believed with great confidence at this moment that the government examination presided over by Fang Chaoli was very tricky.

It wasn't because Fang Chaoli lost his composure and knocked over the teacup just now, but because of the shivering scholars standing in front of him.

Zhang Zhe asked the palace guard Pegasus to "catch" the top ten candidates from last year's government examination from various counties. These people just came to the court and provoked all kinds of cynicism from the scholars of Xiushan County.

In the last government examination, because of Yue Tang's dismounting, Fang Chaoli failed to win even a scholar from Xiushan!
Wu Guoben was from a noble family, and all the places in the county examination were divided up by powerful families in the county every year. Scholars from poor and poor families had no chance to succeed at all.Therefore, after Zhaoyang belonged to the state of Zheng, poor people from poor families in Zhaoyang celebrated with each other, and hundreds of scholars participated in the first county examination held by Yue Tang.Xiushan County School has been doing very well in the past few years, but none of Xiushan's scholars who participated in the government examination passed!This undoubtedly cut off the spark of hope for the scholars of Xiushan again.

Cutting off one's future is like killing one's parents!
All the students in Xiushan already hated Fang Chaoli to the core, seeing the top ten that Fang Chaoli had selected, some young and vigorous people couldn't keep their mouths shut.

In fact, the Xiushan scholars who gathered here today were the ones Zhang Zhe set up to win the court ceremony.

After hearing that Lord Tongzhi asked them to compose poems and essays in honor of Lord Yue, the expressions of the top ten in the government examination were different for a while.

Among the ten people, only three or four looked quite calm, while the others showed signs of trembling.

How can Zhang Zhe not understand at this moment, among the ten people, there are not a few who are tricky.

He had already expected that Fang Chaoli had already tampered with government files, case files, and accounts. Even if he found out something, Fang Chaoli would use various reasons to prevaricate him.For example, the sentence "I'm afraid I don't know the real situation in the local area when I come to the local area for the first time", can play a great role.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can win a hundred battles!
Zhang Zhe didn't intend to tangle with Fang Chaoli on the battlefield that he had set up from the beginning, and he just happened to have a field of advantage that was almost unsolvable.

Imperial Examinations and Talents!
In this field, as the Banished Immortal who swept the scholars of the six countries and the newly released Lianzhong Wuyuan, what Zhang Zhe said, even the current emperor could not directly object.At this moment, he is the uncrowned leader of Dazheng scholars and the face of Dazheng's most talented scholars.

If Zhang Xinzhi said that you cheated, who in the seven countries would not believe it?

Zhang Zhe's purpose today is to get Fang Chaoli into trouble by assessing these ten people.Even if Fang Chaoli did not cheat for personal gain in the government examination, no one would think there was a problem with Zhang Xinzhi's assessment of local scholars.

It is the honor of a literati to be assessed by Zhang Xinzhi!

"You are all one of the best talents in the county. I invite you here today just to pay tribute to my friend, Mr. Yue! Mr. Yue loved articles and poems the most during his lifetime. You can write poems for me to read. I don't hesitate to mention them. Make a note of the pen to make the name of all students!"

Except for one or two of these ten people, the rest of them all lowered their heads.From the corner of his eye, Zhang Zhe saw that Lian Yun, who was the first in the government examination, was secretly making eye contact with Fang Chaoli.

"Responding to your lord's words," the first person who came out to answer was indeed the top of the list, "Your lord's reputation as an immortal is spread all over the world, and a certain post-school student Mo Jin'an dared to compose poems and sentences in front of your lord. Dare! What's more, the officials are as powerful as torches, and the literary names are fierce, and the students are afraid that they will not be able to write good poems."

Zhang Zhe was not angry at all, but the Xiushan scholars outside the hall almost exploded with anger.

As far as these things are concerned, let alone facing Zhang Xinzhi, what kind of poems and essays can they make when facing an old cow?Immediately, someone petitioned outside the hall.

"Students are so bold that they are willing to try to compose poems and essays for their old parents. Please allow me!"

Du Bian was about to stand up and retreat, but Zhang Zhe agreed casually when he heard Zhang Zhe in the hall.

"Your filial piety is very good, naturally there is nothing to do, just do it."

Lian Yun and the others were a little flustered, as a member of the scholar group, how could he not know the level of the students in Xiushan?According to the analysis before the exam, with the strength of all the students in Xiushan, they should occupy more than [-]% of the pilot list!

But the next moment, Master Tongzhi comforted them a few words, and said: "When you come from afar, you may feel restless. This is easy to handle. Since the papers of the students are excellent, how about the time of the exam?" The most brilliant article has been silently written, and I will read it to Brother Yue in person."

As soon as this remark came out, eleven of the ten people were stunned on the spot, and the other one was Fang Chaoli.

These ten are all children from rich families who Fang Chaoli sold the test questions earlier, and made it convenient on the spot, and gave him all the discounts when grading the papers at the end.Fang Chaoli's business this time is really perfect, and he is innocent.

Among these ten people, there are probably four or five who don't remember what the title of their article is?There are others who take the exam for him, so why does he memorize the articles himself!
Seeing that no one made a sound for a long time, Fang Chaoli hurriedly got up to speak, he also regretted in his heart that he underestimated last year's government examination after so many calculations.

Zhang Zhe was the first to ask him with a smile: "Master Fang, have you prepared the poem?"

"Where are the lower officials so talented? It's just that the lower officials are not effective in supervising their studies. These scholars are all absurd and uninhibited after the exam. After a few months of confusion, I'm afraid I don't remember last year's articles."

"It's okay. The official has already asked people to fetch all their test papers. Now they are placed in the back of the hall. Let them go in one by one to find their own papers, and then copy a copy. It's just the test papers and questions. If the name is blurred, surely all students will not be able to find their own papers?"

Fang Chaoli's smile finally couldn't last.

Among the ten people, three took the exam on their behalf, and the other two were cheat sheets brought on-site. I am afraid that several of them have been exposed in this step.

But until now, although Fang Chaoli was very nervous, he also thought that the matter was not too big.He thought to himself: Even if a few were found, it would be said that these people had colluded with the officials in the examination room to cheat, and he could only be responsible for negligence.Anyway, not everyone can't recognize their own test papers.
