Chapter 9 The anger

There was plenty of time for the county examination, and the academic officials once sang about the relevant precautions, and arranged the four treasures of the study, so Su Ziji sat with his eyes closed and rested.

Until the front, back, left, and right seats are filled with people in turn, the yamen servants will patrol the venue with sign lights, which means that the exam has officially started.

Since there was only one exam in the county exam, Su Ziji was not in a hurry, and slowly thought about answering the questions.

The first volume is Paste Sutra and Mo Yi. Paste Sutra is to paste a few words from the scriptures and ask them to fill them in. Mo Yi is to ask questions in Chinese on the upper and lower sentences of the scriptures, or to ask them to answer in regular script.

"It turned out to be the scriptures in the Analects of Confucius. The first volume seems to be the basis for assessing students? It doesn't look difficult." After carefully writing the blank content, Su Ziji looked at Mo Yi's assessment again.

"The benevolent person uses what he loves and what he doesn't love; the unkind person uses what he doesn't love and what he loves."

"Sure enough, as I thought, the first volume is all about the basics."

Basically, Su Ziji didn't need to think too much about these contents, they were all basic contents, and they were quickly written on the draft and carefully copied on the volume.

The second volume is the teaching of the oracle, and the specified paragraphs need to be written silently.

The teachings of the imperial edicts are actually the ideological education of students promulgated in the form of imperial decrees. There are [-] words.

But for Su Ziji, the content that has been learned and needs to be written silently is extremely easy and effortless.

Write it on the draft and copy it on the paper. Since the final question is not on the examination paper, the scholar has to sing the question, so Su Ziji has time to check it again, and he can't help thinking about the things that the wild Taoist said to the girl he met by chance. .

"I'm already level 5. The county test should be fine, but I don't know if there will be twists and turns if Feng Shui is destroyed."

Thinking of the strange things he encountered in the shrine, Su Ziji couldn't help recalling what happened when he came to this world because he had a new understanding of ghosts and gods.

"I'm afraid it is unlikely that I want to return to my own world. I need to live well in this world."

"Since there are really ghosts and gods, we need to pay more attention in the future."

"Hey, it's really difficult to guard against evil people and respect ghosts and gods at a distance."

"However, I have a clear conscience in everything. If there is righteousness in my heart, even if there are ghosts and gods, there is no need to be afraid."

Thinking like this, the academic official came over and began to sing the question: "Look at the paper for the first question, and the sticking board for the final question."

Examination questions were displayed on the board. At this time, the display was the content of the final exam. Su Ziji had good eyesight. After reading it carefully twice, he recorded it on the draft paper, and he was relieved.

"Two chapters of scriptures and one poem in five-character essays."

"Tiejing and Moyi are only available in county examinations, and Jingyi is actually the focus of government examinations, provincial examinations, and even general examinations. This is the most important examination question."

"In the previous notes, there are scriptures and meanings."

"If such notes are more helpful for the exam, the two chapters of classics and righteousness, Mr. Zhang, the magistrate of the county, should not be pedantic, so you don't have to force yourself."

"Fortunately, there are not so many requirements for drafts in the county examination in this dynasty. If it was like that in the previous dynasty, it would be more stringent."

At the same time, Su Ziji also rejoiced that he was not short-sighted. To have short-sightedness in this age would be really miserable. Not to mention anything else, it would be difficult even to read the exam question board, let alone take the exam.

"It seems that protecting the eyes cannot be ignored."

The snow and rain gradually stopped, but the snow melted, making it even colder. The sound of wolves howling in the distant mountains and forests made one's heart tremble, but everyone in the group was sweating.

In front of everyone, there were two floating corpses, but a little farther away, a few people rushed to them, and they seemed to have a little prestige, so the group became quiet, and just said: "Brother Zhang is here."

Boss Zhang was wearing a cloak and a leather hat, and his red face was expressionless. When he saw the corpse, the muscles on his cheeks twitched visibly, showing a ferocious look.

Seeing the unmoving expression of the corpse and the obvious wounds on the corpse, Boss Zhang didn't say a word for half a bag of cigarettes, and asked after a long time, "How did you find out?"

"Boss, it's me!" It was Lao Zhuang who came up.

This person is nicknamed "Bao Inquiring", while others "make big things into small things, and small things into nothing". On the contrary, he specializes in "much ado about nothing", but he does have a way of inquiring about news.

At this time, Lao Zhuang didn't smile at all, and said solemnly: "Boss, you asked me to check on Second Brother Xia Yan, why didn't you come back yesterday, I sent someone to check."

"It snowed and rained all night yesterday, and I couldn't find any traces, so I sent people to search for nearby gambling stalls, hotels, and painting boats, but there were none."

"Unfortunately, when someone caught a fish, the fish was not caught, but the person was caught, and the person ran away in fright, and did not dare to report to the authorities."

"I heard the news and salvaged them immediately, only to find the bodies of Brother Yan and Liushu Yan."

"I checked, and they were stabbed with spears or swords, not drowned."

"God is sorry, if it weren't for the net fish, the corpses would be eaten up by the fish when the weather warmed up, and I couldn't find them no matter how hard I looked."

After hearing the words, Boss Zhang nodded heavily after a long time: "Who did it?"

Lao Zhuang said in a low voice: "Boss, it's different now than before. Even if it's fighting for territory, it won't kill people."

"I have asked the Raft Gang and Zengcai Society, and no one has conflicted with us."

Boss Zhang was stunned for a long time, then slowly said: "Please take the two brothers back to bury them first, I will dig three feet to avenge the brothers."

Having said that, he frowned again and asked, "The county test is taking place?"

"Yes, the exam is almost over."

"Then let's go back and find trouble with this kid first." Boss Zhang said coldly: "No matter what, Second Brother Zhang died because of this kid, so let him be used as interest first!"

"Yes!" This was obviously an expression of anger, but the group had no objection. They moved the corpse to the bullock cart and rolled away to the county together.

County government office test shed

"When the time is up, students are not allowed to make noise when they leave the examination room." The official shouted loudly: "Students who haven't finished their writing can be allowed to light a piece of wax."

Su Zi is restrained and has a proud personality, even if he has learned tact, when he writes, it will occasionally show up.

The two scriptures are the simplest introductory subjects, and it is not too difficult for Su Ziji who has reached level 5.

Five-character test post poems, because of skill learning, can also make a medium-level poem, not to mention the county test, or the government test, or it is enough.

No matter how much time there is, the time has come when Su Ziji checks for the third time.

The yamen servant collected the papers, and Su Ziji handed in the papers. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. When he went out, the inspection was not strict. He put the four treasures of the study and the drafts into the basket, and before he left the corridor, he slapped the paper with one hand. shoulder.

"Zi Ji, do you think you are sure this time?" The owner of the hand was Zhang Sheng, he asked in a low voice.
