"Hurry... look! The 20th place is me... it is me... Zeng Qingkang! I passed the exam for the Tongsheng!"

"I won! I won! No. 15!"

"That's me... tenth place!"

...

The magistrate Xu held the Holy Book Order, and the golden curtain in the air flashed from the 20th place in turn. The county examination only took the top 20th place as Tong Sheng, so every time a new name appeared, the candidates cheered and cheered.

It is not easy to stand out from more than a thousand people. The candidates who passed the exam cried out in ecstasy and their families were also smiling and full of relief.

"Haha! Uncle, look at these Confucian scholars in Fengle County, they just passed the exam for a child! They were so proud that they would be able to stay in the Juren's position in the future."

Looking at these so-called classmates around him who were happy or sad, Zhao Shuang said to his uncle Zhao Zhi with disdain, "Uncle, I heard that ordinary children can only get a gift of one sacred power in the Great Wall, but the first person in each county can get two sacred powers to reward him?"

"The first in the county examination is the first in the county examination. Whether it is prosecuting scriptures or poetry, it must be outstanding and stand out from the group of candidates. Naturally, when I was granted a literary position in Tongsheng, I could receive a more holy power than an ordinary child. Alas! If I were not young and frivolous, I would not obey my father's arrangement to come to Fengle County, and I had to compete with the great scholar Li Yuncong, who was wise in Jianzhou Prefecture. How could I still not be promoted to the Grand Secretary's literary position?

Zhao Zhi sighed and encouraged Zhao Shuang, "Nephew Zhao Shuang, don't underestimate the more rewards of this case. Tongsheng is the introductory literary position obtained by Confucian scholars. Youdao is the first step at one step. You will get twice as much sacred brick power as others in Tongsheng's literary position. As long as you study hard and study Confucianism, your future achievements will be limitless."

"My nephew understands! Please rest assured, my nephew will definitely fight for this tone for our Zhao family. The position of the chief of the case is mine."

Zhao Shuang was full of confidence. Now the ranking on the gold list has reached fifth place. His name has not appeared yet, but he is not in a hurry at all. In his expectation, his name should appear at the top of the gold list and the first place at the top of the case.

However, for other candidates participating in the county examination, the number of unannounced rankings means that their hopes for the students to pass the exam are getting smaller and smaller. As for the last five, most of the candidates who failed are already desperate and have no expectations to enter the top five.

"Brother, there are only five places left..."

Su Ru grabbed Su Lin's arm nervously, and Su Lin was also a little dry-mouthed, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest. Supporting the future fate depends on whether the county can win the case.

"Don't worry! Ru'er, the head of the case must be mine." Su Lin said softly, not knowing whether he was comforting his sister Su Ru or giving himself confidence.

"Third place! Qi Tianfang..."

When the third place was announced, the entire county government office was in an uproar, and the entire report had reached its final climax.

"Qi Tianfang actually has only third place! He is the most powerful contender in the battle with Master Zhao this time?"

"The position of the chief of the case must be Mr. Zhao, but there are still people who are higher than Qi Tianfang? Who is it? It seems that the ranking of powerful candidates has already come out?"

...

"I am just the third place? I... I clearly wrote a poem that is almost out of the county!" Qi Tianfang, who was present, was stunned when he saw his ranking. He answered the forty-six ways correctly. The poem is a poem that is infinitely close to the county. Such a result can only be ranked third.

"Interesting! Interesting! Uncle, look at Qi Tianfang, a legitimate son of a juren in Fengle County, and the Grand Secretary's Word Kaizhi. Last year, I accidentally wrote a poem about leaving the county, which is the biggest threat to me among the Fengle County candidates. However, he is still the third place. I really want to see who among the Fengle County candidates has the ability to win the second place!"

Seeing that Qi Tianfang was only third place, Zhao Shuang did not feel that he was threatened. The second place was about to be announced. He looked up with Zhao Zhi with interest and looked at the golden screen in the sky.

However, when Zhao Shuang saw the second place name, the smile on her face froze. The relaxed and freehand style of the light-study style just now also stopped. She widened her eyes and looked at the golden screen hard, shouting loudly: "Impossible! How could I be the second place? I should be the first place leader! Impossible! Impossible..."

That's right, the second place announced on the golden screen is nothing but someone else, Zhao Daru's grandson, Zhao Shuang, the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Not only Zhao Shuang, but everyone except Su Lin and his sister were stunned and shocked. Zhao Shuang, the eight major scholars of the Wu Kingdom, the eldest son of the Zhao family, and the Hanlin-based wise man, could only rank second. Almost everyone in the county already felt that he was the first leader in the case.

"Mr. Xu County! Are you trying to evade the test papers by force and abuse? Otherwise, how could I not be the first place?"

Before the first place was announced, Zhao Shuang couldn't help but jump out and pointed at Xu Wenliang, who was holding the Holy Book Order in front of the county government office, shouting.

"Rareless! Zhao Shuang, the county test paper evaluation, is supervised by Confucius' statues. It is impossible for the magistrate of Xu to be favored. You are not as good as others. What are you not convinced? Xu County Magistrate Jinshi and a seventh-rank official. How can you, a yellow-haired child, make a provocation? Retreat quickly!"

Zhao Shuang just jumped up to accuse the magistrate Xu. Before Xu's magistrate Xu could speak, Zhao Zhi frowned, his mind was filled with holy power, and the four words "quickly retreat" said the method, forming a golden holy power tie rope, pulling Zhao Shuang back, bowed and apologized to Xu Wenliang:

"Mr. Xu County, Zhao Shuang is young and ignorant, and she makes a fuss. I hope she will forgive him for my sake."

"Hmph! But I wrote a poem about leaving the county, so arrogant. How could I know that half-saint Xunzi once said that learning is endless, and there is still a mountain high? Can't I have the talent of Fengle County be produced by my genius?"

County Magistrate Xu actually had no good feelings for the arrogant Zhao Shuang. Now Su Lin has emerged and seized the head of Zhao Shuang's case. He was very happy and then threw the entire Shengshu Ling into the air with a big move. On the huge golden screen, he finally showed the first place in the high school case "Su Lin".

"The first case in Fengle County test, Su Lin!"

The holy power surged in the wisdom and blessed the majestic announcement of the Magistrate Xu County. The sound waves covered it, and most of the sky above Fengle County was ringing.

"What? The first case leader turned out to be Su Mutou of the Su family?"

"Didn't he say he hasn't been enlightened for fifteen years? He has just become enlightened, and he is even better than Master Zhao?"

"No wonder this Sumutou County dared to bet on the ranking with Mr. Zhao before the test. It turned out that it was already clear!"

"Oh! How could I miss the great opportunity to get rich! Do you know? The Zhao family money shop bets on the head of Su Linzhong's case, but one hundred yuan will bet! One or two silver patterns will bet on a blink of an eye!"

...

The county people who were watching the fun in front of the county government started to get lively in an instant, and they criticized everyone and said everything. However, Zhao Shuang stared at the huge word "Su Lin" on the golden screen. Zhiqiao showed signs of being blocked and muttered: "Impossible! Impossible! How could I...I am not as good as Su Mutou..."

"No! This is a severity. Zhao Shuang's nephew, quickly return to Qingming Festival! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Zhao Zhi focused on his mind and saw that there was sign of closing the wisdom key between Zhao Shuang's eyebrows. He immediately poured his voice into his ears. The power of the Jinshi forced himself into Zhao Shuang's wisdom key. The word "awake" like thunder shocked the dull Zhao Shuang in an instant.

"Uncle, I..."

Zhao Shuang, who returned to Qingming, looked decadent and looked listless. She had no trace of spiritual energy on her body. He looked at the eyes around him, and felt that he was making fun of himself. Seeing what he had digested, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Don't say anything. Your defeat in the battle for the first time is a huge blow. You must stay in seclusion for half a year, recite the meaning of the sages and cleanse your soul." Zhao Zhi said.

"No! Uncle, I don't believe that I will lose to a 15-year-old Mutou. My uncle is a compiler of the Hanlin Academy. I ask my uncle to uphold justice for me."

Zhao Shuang shouted unwillingly with a vicious look on her face. At the same time, she rushed to the Su Lin brothers and sisters who were also at the scene, pointed at Su Lin's nose and shouted: "Su Lin, how could you be the head of the case? Impossible! Impossible!"

"Hmph! I said, Master Zhao, now the results of the county trial have been announced, and the first person in the case is Su Lin. I wonder if we have made our previous bet with you and the Zhao family behind you, can you keep your promise?"

Looking at Zhao Shuang who was crazy and lost his mind, Su Lin took out the bet, threw it in front of Zhao Shuang, pointed at his sister Su Ru and said, "According to the bet, I won, you must apologize like my sister Ru'er, and compensate me for one thousand taels of silver."

"You... Su Lin, it's impossible! I will never apologize like a stinky girl!" Zhao Zhi widened his eyes and refused without thinking.

"Oh? The bet on that day was decided in public. If Master Zhao wanted to break the contract, I'm afraid I could only sue the magistrate Xu." Su Lin sneered and shouted, "Apologize to my sister Su Ru immediately!"

"Apology! Apologize!"

"Apologize……"

"Apology! Apologize..."

With Su Lin's voice, the villagers around him also made a fuss. On weekdays, the Zhao family is always arrogant and blessed. Master Zhao is not a kind person. On the surface, he is a humble young man, but in fact he is arrogant and bullies his neighbors a lot.
