After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 171 Countermeasures
Li Hong made such a commotion, there was a lot of movement, Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing could hear it clearly.

Now that the time for answering the exam has passed halfway, and the time for re-answering the paper is very tight, they can't help but sweat for Zhao Shun.

It was noon, the exam was over, and many candidates walked out of the Tribute Academy one after another.

Some people were full of ambition, while others were downcast. Zhao Shun followed the flow of people out of the gate with a calm expression.

But Yan Chongluan and Liu Qing were worried and caught up in a panic.

"Brother Zhao, how did you do in the exam? Is there enough time?"

Zhao Shun nodded calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both for your concern. Although the time is a bit tight, I finished the writing smoothly, but..."

"But?" Liu Qing thought about it, worried that Zhao Shun might have missed something in his answer.

Yan Chongluan's thoughts turned quickly, and he probably guessed what Zhao Shun was going to say, so he quickly interrupted Liu Qing's questioning.

"Brother Liu, this is not a place to talk, let's find a secluded place to talk."

"Alright, alright."

In an elegant teahouse in the state capital, refreshing incense was lit, and a cup of Longjing tea was brewed, and the three of Zhao and Shun took their seats one after another.

Yan Chongluan was the first to ask, "Brother Zhao, why did the fraud happen today?"

"I don't know either." Zhao Shun frowned and shook his head, "Examiner Li and I just met once, but he intends to target him today, and he clearly arranged the fraudulent cheat sheet."

"Then it's weird." Yan Chongluan lowered his head in thought, and murmured: "Since there is no grievance or enmity, why are you targeting it like this?"

Liu Qing looked worried, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhao, if the examiner really makes things difficult for you, even if you give perfect answers, he won't let you live."

One word awakened the dreamer, Zhao Shun and Yan Chongluan looked at each other, both showing worried expressions.

Yan Chongluan immediately said: "Brother Zhao, let me help you with this matter, it's just a matter of spending some money."

Zhao Shun remained silent, and had other guesses in his mind. It was obviously not a coincidence that Li Hong targeted him so much. Could it be that he knew his identity?

But if this is the case, why did Li Hong go to all the troubles and report directly to the capital? Wouldn't everything be fine?

Zhao Shun was full of doubts, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yan, there is no rush right now, there are still seven days before the rankings are released, let me discuss the countermeasures with my wife at night."

At this time, Shen Xian was still in the mahjong parlor to "kill all directions", and had already broken through to the fifth floor, but the more he worked hard, the more luck he got, the more luck he had with the cards, and it was even more difficult to meet an opponent.

Qin Buhui stood on the attic, looked at Shen Xian from a distance, and showed an inexplicable smile.

"Has this person's identity and background been checked?"

The master beside him clasped his hands and replied: "My lord, this girl is from Changle Village, her father is a Qianhu under General Xiao, her mother's identity is unknown, she seems to have disappeared many years ago."

Hearing that Shen Xian's father was working under Xiao Xuangu, Qin Buhui felt relieved, he said lightly: "This girl is talented and intelligent, she can research such things as perfume, but she is so playful, she hangs around in the mahjong parlor, not Count as a good wife."

After making a brief evaluation, Qin Buhui got into the carriage and returned to the government office.

At this time, Li Hong was already waiting in the study room, and on the desk was Zhao Shun's answer sheet.

Qin Buhui nodded as a signal, then picked up the answer sheet and read it carefully.

"That's right. As expected of a student handed over by Scholar Jiang, this answer sheet really hits the nail on the head."

Putting the answer sheet aside, Qin Buhui asked with a smile, "How is your son doing today?"

Li Hong smiled relievedly, and said slowly: "Calmly and clearly organized, we found a solution in an instant."

Qin Buhui nodded in satisfaction. In his opinion, as the grandson of the Grand Tutor, he should behave like this to be reasonable.

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Qin, is it necessary to continue?"

"That's natural." Qin Buhui said without hesitation: "He is still in the game now, and he will move according to our expectations. When he jumps out of the game, it will be considered a formal break."

Li Hong nodded silently, Qin Buhui was so pressing, obviously he had great expectations for Zhao Shun.

On the willow branches on the moon, the streets are feasting and feasting.

Shen Xian stretched his stiff waist, came out of the mahjong parlor, and returned to the inn humming a cheerful tune.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhao Shun standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Shen Xian walked forward, put his arms around Zhao Shun's waist lightly and asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Shun told Shen Xian what happened today.

Shen Xian said indignantly: "This examiner is too unkind, he still does things like this after collecting money."

"I don't know what this person's purpose is, but I have to pass the exam, lady, I plan to do something to him, what do you think?"

The reason why Zhao Shun wanted to ask Shen Xian's opinion was because he knew that his little daughter-in-law was extremely capable in planning, and her help would be indispensable if this matter was to be successfully completed.

Hearing this, Shen Xian's expression gradually became solemn, and he must have a perfect plan for the actions of officials, otherwise he will be killed.

"Master, when will the Tribute Court release the list?"

"Seven days later."

For seven days, Shen Xian's mind changed sharply. If he wanted Zhao Shun to pass the exam smoothly, he had to bring the matter of the examiner's bribery to light within seven days.

As long as the examiner stepped down, the Tribute Academy would naturally send someone to re-examine the test papers, and the trouble would be solved by then.

"Sir, I have a solution for this matter."

Zhao Shun looked at Shen Xian in surprise, had an idea so soon?
Shen Xian was very dissatisfied with his eyes, and hummed: "What kind of eyes are you, are you questioning my intelligence?"

Zhao Shun smiled lightly, and quickly coaxed: "How can it be, lady, you are the smartest, and you are willing to bow down to your husband."

"That's about the same." Shen Xian raised his chin triumphantly, "But if we want to accomplish this, we need Mr. Yan's help."

"Oh? What's the lady going to do?"

"Three days later, it will be the Yuhua Prefecture's business meeting. At that time, all the Yuhua Prefecture's commercial firms, including Mr. Qin Buhui, will be present. At that time, we only need to raise this issue in public, and use the name of the Yan family to exert pressure. , not afraid of their officials protecting each other."

The corners of Shen Xian's mouth curled up slightly, smiling like a cunning little devil.

Zhao Shun couldn't help being a little worried when he heard the words, "Lady, if the Yan family comes forward in this matter, wouldn't they be pushed to the forefront of the storm, wouldn't it be bad?"

"Don't worry." Shen Xian put on a playful grimace and said, "All major commercial firms and Qin Buhui are asking Yan's for perfume. Although we have already made a plan, we still cannot be polite when it is time to bargain."

Zhao Shun didn't know what was going on with the business meeting, but seeing Shen Xian's self-confidence, he believed her completely in his heart.

"Having said that, let's visit the Yan family together tomorrow."

"Yeah, I think so too. Now that your exam is over, I should fulfill my promise to Mrs. Yan."
