Part-time female officer of the rebirth spiritualist

Chapter 41
With an order, the heavy door of the examination room was opened.

Candidates lined up and were searched one by one to see if there was any entrainment.Braids are untied, clothes are stripped, shoes and socks, test baskets, etc., and everything on the body will be thoroughly checked, which can be described as gentle and sweeping.

However, some examinees from family backgrounds will get some money, and the soldiers in charge of the search will also save some face for these scholars.In case someone among the candidates soars into the sky and enters the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, they will not offend him too much.

After four or five checks, it was confirmed that the candidates who were not entrained were put into the examination room.Those found entrained will be dragged away by the soldiers directly, their trousers will be stripped, and they will be marked with [-] boards. During the county examination, they will have to wear a shackle to show the public, and they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life.

The punishment is harsh, but once successful, fame and fortune are at your fingertips.Therefore, every time an exam is taken, there are still many candidates who take huge risks, take chances, and cheat.The children's test questions are simple, and there are not many entrainment, but it is not without.

A candidate in front of Zhao Qi and the others was checked out by the soldiers and dragged out with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, magistrate, please, please forgive me this time!" His temples had already been stained with a little hoarfrost, and the soldiers held their arms, struggling and crying bitterly.The sadness in the words can make you cry even more.

Magistrate Zhang frowned, and ordered in a cold voice: "Drag on."

"Yes." The soldier replied respectfully, and dragged the examinee mercilessly to an open space.One person pressed the examinee on the bench, and the other lifted the board high and lowered it, slap, slap, slap, once, as if hitting someone's heart.

For a moment, the examinee wailed and the board was loud, causing the examinees who were still waiting for the examination to shrink their necks in subconscious fear.

County magistrate Zhang stood on the stage, with a cold face, looking around at the candidates, "Fame depends on real talents and practical learning. If you try to be lucky, you will never be successful if you want to engage in sneaky people! Scholars? Read so many sage books Where did you go? Even the most basic etiquette, righteousness, and shame have been forgotten, and the court still counts on you to benefit the common people? I feel ashamed for you! Besides, this is a county examination, not a formal imperial examination! If even this depends on You can only pass by cheating, so I still advise you to give up the imperial examination as soon as possible, and go home to farm directly!"

The candidates below were scolded by the county magistrate and looked at each other in dismay.But there are also some, with flickering eyes, they take out notes and booklets from hidden places on their bodies, throw them on the ground without a trace, and quickly follow the people in front with their heads buried.

"The magistrate's words awakened many people." Lu Fengan glanced around, looked away, and smiled.

Song Junhe shook his head and sighed, "That man must have studied hard for many years with his temples stained with hoarfrost. If he becomes confused for a moment, his future will be ruined. It's sad, sad."

Lu Fengan sneered, and retorted: "After studying hard for many years but failing to pass the county exam, he is not a student. If he is clear-headed, it would be wise to get away early and find another way. What he is doing now is nothing but obsession! "

Hearing what he said, several people had different reactions.

Zhao Qi glanced at him unexpectedly, and remained silent.Zhao Lin agreed with his face, he was never a pedantic scholar.And Jiang Bicheng's lips curled up, with some disapproval in his expression.

Song Junhe, who knew Lu Fengan best, shook his head and laughed: "Fengan, you are still calm and reserved as always." After speaking, he walked into the aisle with the test basket and accepted the test.

An hour later, the sky was bright, and people who passed by 'Souzi', 'Singbao', and Zhao Qi followed the flow and entered the venue and sat down.

The yamen servants held the examination question boards and walked around the venue. After the examinees saw the questions clearly, they began to write their answers.

The county examination is held every day, and the first one is the main one. The admission is relatively wide, and those who can write fluently can be admitted.Therefore, the exam questions are not difficult.The two brothers of the Zhao family, Lu Fengan and the others are all talented and learned, and it is very easy to answer the questions.

Soon, three or four hours passed, and some candidates finished the papers ahead of time, so they packed up their things and waited aside. After a certain number of people were reached, the yamen servants would open the dragon gate to let the candidates come out.

Zhao Qi and others were among the first batch of people who handed in the test paper.Looking at each other, they both knew that the other party answered well.After waiting in silence for a while, the dragon gate opened, and the group quietly left the examination room.

As everyone knows, the magistrate is sitting on a high place, staring at their backs, frowning in thought.

The sky was dark, and the last candidate had successfully handed in the paper, and the first round of the county examination was over.County Magistrate Zhang ordered people to send all the examination papers to the yamen, and only then recruited his confidants on the side, and said softly: "Send someone to check the background of the other three candidates who walked with Song Junhe and Lu Fengan earlier."

"I understand." The confidant took the order and left quickly.

Two days later, the results of the first match were announced. Zhao Qi and Zhao Lin were impressively ranked, and their rankings were still very high.Lu Fengan and Song Junhe were also easily shortlisted, and Song Junhe even ranked first.However, the second exam was about to start soon, and the shortlisted candidates were all concentrating on preparing for the next exam instead of congratulating.

And those who were dismissed in the first game can only wait for next year to come back.

Here, the brothers of the Zhao family took the exam with all their might, and in Banglan Village, Zhao Yun had a happy life.Because of the entrustment of the two brothers, she eats three meals a day at Zhou's house, kindly helps Aunt Zhou with some housework, and is even sent to play with Zhou Lanxin.

So, she inspected the flower seedlings every morning, noon and evening, and learned how to sew, so she had nothing to do—because of the agreement with Zhao Qi, she changed her practice to night.

"Yunyun, don't guard your flower seedlings anymore, let's go pick bracken in the back mountain? At this time, the bracken is the freshest and most delicious." Zhou Lanxin saw Zhao Yun carefully watering the flower seedlings, pouted, and suggested road.

Fengle County is located in the south of Jin Country, and the weather will warm up as soon as the first lunar month passes.The chubby bracken emerges from the soil, the water is tender and tender, which is very gratifying.

"The weather is getting warmer, and there are many snakes and insects on the mountain. Aunt Zhou said she won't let them go." Without turning her head, Zhao Yun stared at the thriving brocade flower seedlings, smiling all over her face.Although Yun Jin is delicate, she has the same spirituality as Xiuluo, and the market price is also high. Now she pays a little patience, and what she reaps is spiritual power and money.No matter how you think about it, it's a good deal!

Not knowing the joy in Zhao Yun's heart, Zhou Lan thought of a way when she rolled her eyes.He leaned his head in front of Zhao Yun and stared at her with innocent eyes: "It's fine to ask the second brother to go with him, he happens to be at home today."

Zhao Yun had no choice but to agree to go once. I'm afraid Zhou Lan would not give up, so she let go after thinking about it, "Okay, but I have to say hello to Aunt Zhou."

"Hey, I know! I'll go back and call my second brother! Come here quickly, Yunyun!" Zhou Lanxin burst into a smile and ran away in a hurry.
