Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 76 The Final Four
The situation on the court suddenly became complicated. The affiliated school of the county school was already out of the game, and the Evergreen School finally scored up and down. The total score was half a point lower than that of Yu Qing School, and they were also out.

Now there is only Yanying Academy left. If Yanying Academy scores higher, then Yanying Academy will finally win the county official selection competition.

If the score of Yanying Academy is in the middle, it will be the same as that of Yuqing Academy, and the two schools will have an extra match to determine the final No.1.

At this time, Qi Yong raised his head and looked at Cheng Zhuo intentionally or unintentionally, and the two exchanged glances quietly.

Xu Zhong repeatedly explained to them that Fan Ning's final questions are very strong, the game cannot be dragged to the extra stage, and the winner must be determined within five questions.

Cheng Zhu winked at Qi Yong, that's what he meant.

They thought that this wink was extremely concealed, but they didn't know that Zhu Pei had been staring at the examiner Qi Yong, and the scene of Qi Yong and Cheng's exchange of winks was seen by Zhu Pei.

She immediately stood up and said loudly: "Zhao Xuezheng, for the sake of fairness, can the professor of the county school be invited to participate in the scoring?"

Zhao Xiuwen was startled, "Why do you say that?"

Zhu Pei said coldly: "I saw the chief examiner flirting with President Cheng, I don't know what they are implying?"

"Nonsense!" Qi Yong scolded angrily, "There is no such thing at all."

He was amazed in his heart, "This little lady's eyes are really poisonous!"

Zhao Xiuwen waved his hand, "The rules can't be changed casually, please sit down!"

Dean Liu also expressed his opinion: "Zhu Pei, don't interfere with the examiner's grading at will."

Fanning grabbed her wrist and sat her down with a smile, "Don't worry!"

"What do you mean don't worry!"

Zhu Pei vented all her dissatisfaction on Fan Ning, and she glared at Fan Ning and said, "Believe it or not, they will score your poem at most."

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I have already dug a trap for these bastards by writing this poem."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Pei was a little surprised. Could it be that Fan Ning had something else to hide from him?

Fanning smiled, "Just wait and see!"

"you--"

Zhu Pei was so angry that he couldn't speak. For him to win the first place in the county magistrate selection competition, he went all out to help him, and even turned against his aunt. Own.

Zhu Pei kicked him quietly again, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "If you don't talk about it today, don't let me help you again in the future!"

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Fanning smiled and whispered something in her ear.

Zhu Pei covered his mouth and looked at Bao Zheng in astonishment. It turned out that the stinky boy and this Master Bao. ． ． ． ．

"What if he refuses to stand up for you?"

Fan Ning smiled lightly, "Don't worry! If he doesn't stand up, he won't be Bao Zheng."

Having said that, Fanning still has a little bit of worry.

The last score is the Yanying Academy. Their test question is to write a seven-character poem, which describes the outline of a city or a cottage.

The examiner Qi Yong opened Fan Ning's poem and was stunned for a long time. This poem is well written!
'Mountain darkly, vista. 'It can be called a quatrain.

Qi Yong was in a bit of a dilemma, this poem was scored too low, it was a bit too obvious.

If the score is high, Yuqing Academy will have to go down, which is not in line with their plan.

Qi Yong rolled his eyes, he has a solution, anyway, the final score is based on the majority, as long as the total score of Yanying Academy is finally pulled down.

He distributed the poems to everyone and said with a smile, "I'm really exhausted today. After scoring this score, we can go back and rest!"

This is implying to the examiners that there cannot be a tie.

The examiners comprehended and gave out their own scores, and the final scores were as shown: three top and bottom, one middle, one top middle, and one top top.

Zhao Xiuwen played top and top, if combined, the final score is top and bottom.

This result immediately cheered Yu Qing Academy.

Just when the chief examiner was about to make an announcement, Bao Zheng couldn't stand Fan Ning's contemptuous gaze, so he stood up and said, "Please wait a moment!"

Bao Zheng originally didn't want to interfere with the selection of county officials in Wu County, he was only a spectator.

But such obvious favoritism is related to the fairness of the imperial examination. If he really turned a blind eye to it, then he would not be Bao Zheng.

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng together, "What advice does the transfer envoy have?" Li Yun asked with a smile.

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "I'm just a little curious. The same poem was given up by some people, but not by others. The difference is so huge that I became interested in this poem."

Li Yun immediately asked Zhao Xuezheng to hand over the poem to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng read it once and couldn't help being startled. Isn't this the poem in Pang Ji's mansion?
After thinking about it for a while, he understood Fan Ning's intentions, and he suddenly smiled wryly, this brat is digging a hole for himself!
He handed the poem to Li Yun, "Let's take a look at the county magistrate too!"

Li Yun read it once and exclaimed, "This poem is well written!"

Bao Zheng smiled and shook his head, "Not only is it very good, even the emperor is full of praise for this poem."

Li Yun was taken aback. Even the emperor praised him because he only got one score in Wu county. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?

He immediately called Zhao Xiuwen up, slapped the table, and said with a cold face: "Why is this poem divided up and down?"

"The lower official gave this poem a top score."

Annoyed, Li Yun poked his finger on the table and said, "You are confused! You are in charge of the entire county selection competition, not representing yourself. In the end, this poem scored up and down and passed it on. You want scholars all over the world to poke our spines Scold?"

Zhao Xiuwen broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "I know my mistake, I will correct it now!"

He hurried back and said to the examiner: "This poem is not scored correctly, please re-score!"

Qi Yong knew in his heart that he had fallen short, so he was a little annoyed. He straightened his neck and shouted: "How is it unfair for us to score? We don't like this poem, so what's wrong with giving it a low score?"

"You know whether it's fair or not!"

Zhao Xiuwen is not a fool, how could he not see that the professor of Fu Xue is favoring Yu Qing Academy, but he doesn't want to break up the relationship.

But these professors from the prefectural school really went too far, too blatantly.

Zhao Xiuwen finally couldn't bear it anymore, glared at Qi Yong and said, "I invite you to be the examiners because I respect your knowledge, but I didn't expect you to be disappointing. The Wu County Boys' Examination has always been a fair and just place, not some people's private trading place."

The five examiners were stunned by the scolding, and they couldn't get off the stage. For a while, their faces were all flushed.

Qi Yong waved his hands and said coldly: "Since Zhao Xuezheng doesn't believe us, then please hire someone else! We won't accompany you."

He turned to the other examiners and said, "Let's go!"

The four examiners left their seats one after another, followed Qi Yong, and several professors walked away without looking back.

Zhao Xiuwen didn't stop them, and let them go away. It was a bit of a mistake to invite the professor of the prefectural school to be the examiner.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xiuwen gave Fan Ning's poem to the four directors for scoring. Everyone praised it unanimously and gave high marks one after another. Even Cheng Zhuo, who was unwilling in his heart, had to admit that this poem was far superior to that of his students. , he also gave a top score.

Zhao Xiuwen announced loudly: "After the unanimous evaluation, the fifth question of Yanying Academy has scored higher!"

There was a burst of warm applause in the lobby.

Dean Liu suddenly clenched his fists excitedly and closed his eyes. After 15 years, Yanying Academy won the championship again.

"A Dai, we won!"

Zhu Pei's face was flushed with excitement, and his big eyes were particularly shining.

Fan Ning was also excited in his heart, and opened his arms to Zhu Pei with a smile, "Come! Let's hug and celebrate the victory!"

Ju Pei took a few steps back in fright, and glared at Fan Ning, "Warning you, don't touch me, or I'll make you look good!"

At this time, Bao Zheng came over and happened to see this scene, he couldn't help being angry and funny, and knocked Fan Ning on the head, "You brat is really promising, okay, what are you going to do with this little lady?"

Fan Ning scratched his head and laughed, "It's just a joke, I don't really want to hug her!"

The county magistrate Li Yun stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over and said, "Miss Zhu dressed up as a petty official. I guess Fan Ning was so excited about winning that he forgot that she was a little lady."

Zhu Pei gave Fan Ning a hard look. If he didn't dodge, he would definitely be hugged by this brat celebrating his victory.

He just forgot about that day, but he found a reason to bully him.

Zhu Pei suddenly thought of something, covered his mouth and snickered, "Dumb, there are a large group of father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting for you outside! I won't delay your lifelong event, let's go first."

Everyone laughed, and Zhu Pei fled away gloatingly.

Fan Ning was secretly glad that he did not tell her about the Wu family's blind date, otherwise he would have been ridiculed by her.

At this time, Headmaster Liu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Tonight, I'm going to hold a celebration wine in Juxian Tower, and I implore the transfer envoy, county magistrate and Xuezheng to attend together!"

Bao Zheng chuckled, "I'm on official business, I must go to Hangzhou immediately to take up the post, next time!"

Li Yun was secretly happy that Bao Zheng was finally leaving.

At this time, Bao Zheng pulled Fan Ning aside again, and said to him solemnly: "Fan Gong heard that I came to Liangzhe Road to work, and he wrote to me specially, asking me to take care of you more. Fan Gong cares about you very much. I have pinned hope on you, so don't let him down."

Fanning nodded silently.

Bao Zheng patted the back of his head again and said with a smile: "You are smart enough, I hope you can use it on the right path. If you have any difficulties, you can write to me, and I will try my best to help you."

Fan Ning bowed to thank, "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for your great love for the younger generation!"

Bao Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Seeing you win the county official selection contest with my own eyes, I can give Lao Fan an explanation, and write to him later, take care!"

"I wish Mr. Bao a smooth journey!"

Bao Zheng laughed, turned and left, and the officials sent him out of the county school one after another.

Dean Liu stepped forward and said to Fan Ning: "Don't participate in the celebration banquet tonight, take a good rest, and prepare for the individual competition in the selection competition tomorrow. You have a great advantage now. As long as you can perform normally tomorrow, you should be able to win the championship." .”

. . . . . .
Fan Ning won the first place in the county team competition, which gave him an advantage in the individual competition, and his basic score was high, while the students from the other three schools in the semi-finals scored high.

In the contest of top masters, a difference of half a point often means that the victory or defeat has been divided.

The next day, the individual competition held a whole day of written tests, and a total of [-] students participated in the final competition.

The result is not surprising. Fan Ning scored top in basics, top in poetry, top in silent scriptures, top in miscellaneous items, and top in calligraphy.

With a huge advantage of being two points ahead of No.2, he won the leader of the Wu County County Shishi Selection Competition in the eighth year of Qingli in one fell swoop.

He is also the youngest county magistrate leader in the 15 years since the county magistrate selection contest was held.

The county rewarded him with a one-time [-] guan money as a student bonus for the boy's examination, and together with nine other county magistrates, he was officially admitted to the county school and began a three-year training, preparing to take the boy's examination three years later.
