Chapter 85
At this moment, there was a sea of ​​people in the central square of Xudu City. The octagonal white cloth platform was set up in the middle and colorful flags were flying high. There were four desks in the southeast and northwest corners, with corresponding benches. Writing something quickly with a pen, his face is all solemn.

People from ten miles and eight villages surrounded this place to see the annual selection contest.

Of course, this trial is a local system, and it is just a way for Xu Duzhi to select talents within the prefecture.

Today is the third day, and these four teenagers have stood out from the competition of the previous few days.

Today, the comparison is to write an article, the title is "Etiquette and Benevolence".

In the small pavilion on the upper right side of the high platform, there are two people sitting by the window, looking towards this side.

Yun Ziluo looked helpless, looking at the handsome young man in Dongjiao, she really wanted to pull him over.

That was actually Yun Hao.

But for some reason, it was not in line with their speculation to show up in public on such an occasion. Didn't Wu Da take him away?

At this time, I saw a thin middle-aged man walking out on the stage. He was wearing the costume of the proctor of the prefecture government. As soon as he came up, a loud voice spread: "The last game of this competition is over! Go on!" It's time for review and review, and the top three will be selected."

After the four teenagers handed in their papers, they waited calmly aside.

Several invigilators held four pieces of rice paper and whispered to each other.

Suddenly, with a sound of "ah", an invigilator knocked over the inkstone next to his shoulder, and the ink spilled all over the table, wetting the paper he was looking at in his hand.

With this sudden change, the other invigilators on the stage did not react, and together with the people below, the sound of gasping for air permeated.

The casual eyes of Yun Ziluo and the regent were also instantly attracted.

Several invigilators frantically lifted the inkstone, and when they looked back at the scroll, it was covered with ink and was useless.

The four reference teenagers also came up, and the invigilator who spoke just now said: "This test paper is invalid, please ask Mr. Yun to write a new one."

This test paper that was splashed with ink was actually Yun Hao's, and he was flustered for a moment when he heard it.

Until the invigilator rearranged the small table for him, the little boy spread paper for him.

And here, the invigilator has already read the articles of the other three people aloud.

"The husband's rites are the great cause of the country, since the beginning of the Hun Yuan Dynasty..."

When Yun Hao heard the first sentence, his whole body shook, and the pen in his hand lost its weight, and fell directly on the white rice paper, stained with ink.

The further he listened, the paler his face became.

After reading the entire article, the invigilator praised: "Young Master Qian Youliang really has poetry and books in his stomach, and is full of talent. The whole article is written in one go, and the writing style is magnificent. It is the first name this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the common people in the audience cheered after they had just reacted from this beautifully worded article.

"My lord, who do you think wrote this?" An indignant voice came out of the laughter.

On the high platform, Yun Hao threw Langhao and walked up to the invigilator in a few steps, with an excited expression on his face.

"This is the masterpiece of Qian Youliang's student. Why, do you have an opinion?" the invigilator asked with a smile.

"He's plagiarizing! I wrote it!" Yun Hao said loudly.

The audience was a little quiet.

Several invigilators looked at each other, and the man in the middle who could speak patted Yunhao on the shoulder: "Young man, we know that you are eager for fame, but you can't plagiarize other people's works like this. Official career is important, and character is even more important." .”

"You're talking nonsense! It's obviously written by me, every word is my own original, how could it become his?"

Yun Hao was angry and impatient, his eyes were already blood red, he stretched out his arm and took the test paper he just had into his hand.

"I clearly wrote it before—" the voice stuck in his throat, looking at the paper full of ink, unable to find a single word in the test paper, Yun Hao was dumbfounded.

At the same time, his heart suddenly brightened.It turned out that this is the case!
He looked at the supervisor in front of him in a blink of an eye, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

Overturning the ink, he thought it was a big deal, but unexpectedly it was already a trap.

Qian Youliang, he must have seen his manuscript when he was eating and playing in his yard last night. Although some words in the article have been changed, most of them are exactly the same as his.

These proctors must have been bought by him.Thinking of this, his heart was chilled.

I still remember that when we first met Qian Youliang, he said that his father was the master of Xu Duzhi's prefecture. .

Thinking of the blue veins on his forehead, Yun Hao clenched his fists tightly. He looked away from the invigilator with hatred and anger, and stared angrily at the thin-lipped boy in a blue shirt with a straight collar. Yun Hao smiled, possessing an evil charm that is rare at this age.

"Qian Youliang, you are despicable!"

"Bold!" The chief examiner shouted immediately, "Is this a place where you can be unrestrained!"

Yun Hao was so forced by his eyes that he didn't dare to look back, he glanced at everyone angrily, turned around, and was about to walk down the stage.

A clear laughter swayed through the crowd at an extremely fast speed. At first it sounded at the other end of the crowd, but when it was heard again, it was already on the steps.

No one saw clearly how she came up, this woman in a long purple dress appeared in front of people holding a fiery red fox.

"What a brilliant plan." Yun Ziluo smiled with her lips curled up.

"Who is the girl?" The chief examiner was a little puzzled. Seeing that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, she did not seem to be Xiaojiabiyu, so he did not dare to neglect her.

Yun Ziluo's smile didn't change, and she continued to talk about herself in her clear and sweet voice: "I don't know how much money my lord took from this money to let him be on No.1?"

The faces of several invigilators changed drastically.

Yun Ziluo's voice was tinged with a trace of coldness, and he turned his head and said to the common people below: "My friends, I would like to say that since Mr. Yun insists that this article was written by him, then this possibility exists. Just think about it, if it’s really not tricky, why did the ink spill over just now?”

"Second Sister!" Seeing Yun Ziluo's sudden appearance, Yun Hao was overjoyed, and ran over to hold her hand.

"It's all nonsense. It was just an accident to overturn the ink, but the article just now was really written by Mr. Qian. Miss Yun, you are too arbitrary!" The chief examiner frowned deeply, but his eyes were full of disgust .

"Really? I'm arbitrary?" Yun Ziluo asked indifferently, with a hint of amusement in her almond eyes, she slowly looked at Qian Youliang and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Qian wrote this masterpiece on the spot?"

Mr. Qian Youliang stood aside, his face turned upside down with pride, at this moment he glanced at her veiled face, opened his thin lips, and said, "Of course not, I still have the first draft in my hand. I accidentally saw it when I was playing at home, so I recited it, and I am here to make noise today!"

Behind him, Yun Hao's face was so red and purple, his fists were creaking, he was so angry that he was about to explode.

Obviously he was the one who read his first draft and memorized it, but now it's good, and it's the other way around!
"Qian Youliang, why do I have you as a friend?" Yun Hao's voice trembled, and he pointed at Qian Youliang.

Qian Youliang chuckled, and said, "Friend? Mr. Yun, ever since you plagiarized Qian's article, Qian has been ashamed of having a friend like you!"

The common people below were criticizing Yun Hao, but now seeing Yun Ziluo's very orderly question, they also became suspicious.

Yun Ziluo continued to ask: "Then why did you write this article?"

Qian Youliang was startled, he didn't expect her to ask such a question, he thought for a while and replied, "A month ago."

Yun Ziluo raised her red lips, her brows and eyes crooked with a smile, she pulled Yun Hao with one hand, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "That's it, Hao'er, second sister, let me ask you, when did you write this article? "

At this time, after several invigilators had a small conversation, the chief invigilator stepped forward and said with a gloomy face: "Girl, please take your brother and leave the examination room quickly, you will be caught if you deliberately violate the discipline of the examination room." firmly!"

Looking at that face, Yun Ziluo became angry, and really wanted to slap him, to make him understand that he was investigating the truth and not breaking discipline!
Thinking so, she did the same, raised her plain hand, and there was a "pop", the sound was crisp, but not too loud, it was nothing in such a noisy environment.But when she raised her hand, the chief examiner's body flew out, which shocked hundreds of meters around!
The entire big square was so silent that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

"Alas!" The chief examiner's muffled groan broke the eerie silence.

After the sound of continuous weapons twitching, a group of guard-like people surrounded the high platform, and the common people all retreated, crowding and stomping, and there was a sound of wailing from the crowd.

And these guards all had cold faces, holding long guns, and the copper guns reflected Yu Yu's light in the sun, cold and ruthless.

"Hehe, wait until I finish asking about this."

Yun Ziluo lifted the body of the chief examiner first, and grabbed his throat with one hand. As long as he exerted force with his hand, this person would be invalid.

Where does the chief examiner dare to move?The guards below did not dare to move.

In the process of being stunned, Yun Hao suddenly felt a cold touch on his cheek, he was startled, and only then regained his attention.

Yun Ziluo pulled back Yun Hao's dazed cheeks, and asked with a smile, "Huh? Hao'er, when did you write this?"

Yun Hao's eyes swept over the faces of the proctors, Qian Youliang and other three teenagers with expressive expressions. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "It was last summer, second sister, don't you remember? "

Yun Ziluo rolled his eyes at him.

Of course she remembered it, and it was precisely because she remembered that she asked him to say it in person!

"Master Yun, just tell me, when did you write this article."

Qian Youliang's face was full of disdain. He didn't think that Yun Hao's telling the time would prove that it was written by him, not himself.

Yunhao let out a "hmm", looked at Qian Youliang and said, "Last summer, I wrote it in Yun——I wrote it in my second sister's Liyuan. My brother-in-law asked me to write it. He also said that I wrote it well. But he also changed a few points for me, and he asked me to write the exquisite sentences in the middle."

Yun Ziluo was startled for a moment, then her face turned red, and the little hands under her sleeves couldn't help but grabbed Yun Hao's face again.

This little guy actually called "brother-in-law" in front of so many people, he, he, he, he -- did he intend to piss her off!
Little did they know, a pair of eyes under the stage immediately lit up.

Yun Ziluo was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, and how to explain this problem later, Qian Youliang already laughed.

"Your brother-in-law? Listen—" he pointed at the people in the audience, "He said his brother-in-law can prove it to him. Isn't his brother-in-law from his family?"

Looking at Yunhao again: "You said that your brother-in-law can prove that you wrote this article if he knows it? Then my whole family is watching me write this article!"

As he spoke, he gathered the test paper in his hand, and raised his head arrogantly: "The first name is mine, and it's not something you can just grab if you want."

Yun Ziluo was speechless immediately.

How could there be such a brazen person in this world!
If she didn't know the real situation and saw through the tricks of the invigilators, she would really think that he wrote this article!
Yun Hao's face immediately turned red, and his voice couldn't help but grow louder: "Of course my brother-in-law can prove it! He said that I can write well, so I can directly enter the court to be an official."

"Hahahaha!" Qian Youliang bent down laughing, and the other two teenagers also laughed, except for the chief examiner who was pinched by Yun Ziluo, the other examiners couldn't help laughing, with a few twitches in their eyes. Wipe the sarcasm.

"It's really whimsical to go directly to the court to be an official!"

"This is the funniest thing I've heard this year. His brother-in-law, hey, he called this woman's sister, could it be her husband-in-law?"

Seeing these people laughing, Yun Ziluo looked indifferent.

"Have you laughed enough?" An ice-soaked voice suddenly sounded on the high platform. The baritone voice was thick and magnetic, revealing a strong internal force, which shocked everyone's eardrums with a "buzz", as if they were exploding.

Surrounded by many guards, this man somehow managed to get up.

The cold black robe was blown away by the wind, and the sky was black, falling down. The man's figure was straight, his face was handsome and handsome, his pair of deep phoenix eyes concealed the silence before the storm, like two deep pools.

The hands behind his back, and the golden color on the cuffs, are the colors that only the emperor dares to use, showing the noble status of a man.

Silence, the audience was silent.

"You, who are you?" Qian Youliang's horrified face cracked a little, and he asked calmly.

Intuition told him that this man is not simple!
Although Xu is the accompanying capital of Yuanjing, it is not good after all. The regent and several princes rarely come here in public, and their whereabouts are mostly mysterious.

These invigilators all had a certain status in the prefecture, and naturally they had met the regent, but because of this, they were a little foolishly frightened, not sure and believed.

Qian Youliang looked at him with unconcealed surprise, even Yunhao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the regent to fall from the sky.

The man had strode into the middle of several people. When the examiner saw him, his pupils shrank sharply, and he spit out a few vague syllables. His legs softened, and he knelt down.

Yun Ziluo let go of his hand, and he lay powerlessly on the ground with a trembling voice: "Regent, regent, thousands of years old!"

Those invigilators also knelt down immediately, tilted their heads to the ground, and shouted in unison: "The regent is a thousand years old!"

Qian Youliang's expression changed, oh my god, is this man in front of him the regent?He quickly knelt down too.

In the huge square, after a moment of silence, a thunderous voice resounded: "The regent is a thousand years old!" Everyone fell to their knees.

"Get up." He turned around and said lightly, pouring some internal energy, the voice didn't sound loud, but it really reached everyone's ears.

After everyone got up, Qian Youliang's mind was spinning rapidly, how to seize this opportunity to meet the regent.

Yun Hao smiled restrainedly and called out, "Brother-in-law."

With a single exit, Yun Ziluo was in a mess in the wind.

Please, if you want to call, you don't need to be in front of so many people, right?

But the regent replied happily: "Yes, Hao'er, you are very good."

"Very good? He disappeared after playing with me, is he still good?" Yun Ziluo immediately retorted rudely.

Unexpectedly, Yun Hao's "brother-in-law" made everyone on the stage change their faces in shock, their bodies became stiff, and their brains lost control for a moment.

Especially when the regent answered. Looking at the familiar relationship between the three of them, Qian Youliang's face paled instantly.

Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law... He seemed to understand the meaning of what Yun Hao said just now.

Those words swayed through his mind like lightning again.

"My brother-in-law asked me to write it, and he said I wrote it well."

"Of course my brother-in-law can prove it! He also said that I can write well, so I can go directly to the court to be an official."

The more he thought about it, the more his heart sank, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his clenched fists were already glued together.

Qian Youliang unconsciously knelt down again, trembling all over.

A great fear gradually enveloped him.

The well-known King Regent of Qi Xia Kingdom is actually this brat's brother-in-law?
Then, this brat said that his brother-in-law could let him directly enter the imperial court to become an official, so it's definitely not just talk?Nature is more real than pearls.

It's just that he didn't expect at all that this little boy who was framed by his own design and sneered at him was actually the regent's brother-in-law!
This is difficult for him to accept for a while!I couldn't help scolding myself over and over again for my shit luck.

These invigilators were no better than him, all of them were so scared that they were so limp on the ground that they couldn't get up.

God, save them quickly!Even if they were beaten to death, they would never guess that this powerless young man has a huge backer!
Qian Youliang and his like are nowhere to be seen in front of him!

"Bring it here!" The regent said coldly without even raising his eyelids.

Qian Youliang shivered for a moment, then raised his head, the regent's phoenix eyes, as cold as ice, were locked on the thing in his hand.

The man's handsome but cold lips parted slightly, and as soon as he made a sound, Qian Youliang immediately offered the test paper up with both hands like a dog's legs.

"Prince Regent, here you are." His voice trembled to the point that he couldn't make a sound. How could he still be the handsome and suave young man just now?

The regent put two fingers in front of him, only glanced briefly, his eyes were already on Qian Youliang, he sneered, raised his hand to "swipe" a few times, and tore up the test paper.

"The "Rite and Benevolence" written by Hao Er, I personally read and reviewed it, you dare to steal it? You really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!"

The regent's face was ashen, and he closed his big hands, consciously or not, the test paper disappeared, turning into countless powder dust and falling from the fingers.

People in the distance may not be able to see it, but the invigilator and the reference boy on the high platform can see it clearly, and they are all scared to death.

"Regent, spare your life! Spare me! I, the untouchable, didn't do it on purpose!" Qian Youliang kowtowed desperately begging for mercy.

The invigilators beside them were even more frightened and incoherent.

This is no longer an issue of ownership of an article, but involves a series of crimes such as embezzlement and bribery, suppression of talented people, and so on.

Seeing what Qian Youliang said, Yun Hao couldn't help saying: "You didn't mean it? Then how could my article become yours? Didn't you just swear that you wrote it?"

Qian Youliang raised his pale and distorted face, and said in a vague voice, "No, it's my fault, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have stolen your text..."

At this moment, the common people down there were so clear-eyed in their hearts that they clamored one after another, condemning Qian Youliang every sentence.On the periphery, two conspicuous high sedan chairs were also hastily lifted in this direction.

"Liang'er!" With a call, the sedan chair came close, and a short-bearded man came down, middle-aged, wearing a white robe, very bookish.

"Father!" Qian Youliang called weakly, but he didn't dare to move a little.

In the other sedan chair, Cheng Yuyi ran over with a face full of panic, and was stopped by the regent when he saluted.

"Master Cheng, I will tell you the matter slowly, and take these people back to the state capital first."

When Master Qian saw that the standing man was the Prince Regent, his expression changed instantly.

This time, the regent visited Cheng's mansion unannounced, and his identity was not announced in the state government, so he didn't know about it.

"Come here, tie them all up!" Cheng Yuyi ordered, and the guards mobilized to tie up the examiner and everyone else.

In Zhizhou Mansion, there was a loud bang from the gavel, "Mighty..." The solemn atmosphere permeated the entire main hall, and the four-character plaque above it with "Mirror Hanging High" became more and more clear, and the people watching the hall surrounded the gate tightly.

Cheng Yuyi sat in the high hall with a serious face, interrogating the whole story of this matter, and it went very smoothly.
