Chapter 33: County Examination Leader (Please collect and read)
Listen to this.
Wei Tu felt helpless.
If others bribe you, but you don’t, your ranking on the list will inevitably drop.
One sentence.
This is the way the world is.
"However, next time I make such a decision, I hope my uncle will tell my nephew, otherwise..." Wei Tu said solemnly.
This time the Huang family helped him, but he didn't think that Mr. Huang did it entirely for him.
Master Huang used imperial examination fraud to make him the military leader of Jinke County Examination. There are two things that are beneficial to the Huang family.
One, let him owe a favor.
Both of them, after becoming the leader of the county martial arts examination, the incident of imperial examination fraud naturally became a stain and a handle against him.
“This is natural.” Mr. Huang tensed up, smiled, and replied.
At this moment.
He realized that he seemed to have underestimated Wei Tu. After knowing that the leader of Wu was decided, he was not happy, but warned him.
—From the beginning to the end, Wei Tu's face was always calm, and there was no trace of anger on his face.
The voice fell.
At this time, we also arrived at the door of Li's house.
Wei Tu opened the curtain of the carriage and stepped down from the shaft. He took the reins of the green horse from the servant of the Huang family, then walked to the side door of Li's house and knocked on the door several times.
“Let’s go back to the house…”
Mr. Huang in the carriage stared at Wei Tu's back for a while, then lowered the curtain and said to the carriage driver.
However, after the carriage galloped for a while, Mr. Huang sneezed several times in succession. He mistakenly thought it was a cold night, so he spread the soft blanket in the car on his legs to avoid the cold.
…
The next day.
Wuju military strategy examination.
The location of this exam was not in the square of the City God's Temple, but in the examination booth for the Civil Service Examination.
The question is very simple.
Three questions about "Ji Xiao".
And a policy topic about the "Battle of Yanran" between Zheng Guo and Jing Guo a hundred years ago.
With Mr. Huang’s bribe, Wei Tu had already obtained the questions before entering the examination room, so he answered the three Tijing questions smoothly.
As for the last strategy question, Wei Tu organized his thoughts and answered them one by one according to the strategies taught by Shan Wuju.
soon.
He finished answering the test paper.
However, when it came time to hand in the paper at the end, Wei Tu lagged behind and handed in the paper fourth from the last.
…
Two days later.
The results of the county martial arts examination are released.
“Brother Wei, you are the military leader of the county examination...”
There was a huge crowd in front of the county government office. Xinghua, who had asked for leave, took Wei Tu to grab a good seat at the county government office gate early in the morning to read the rankings.
Therefore, after she saw the yamen clerk releasing the rankings, she immediately saw Wei Tu’s ranking.
It is the first in martial arts—the leader of martial arts!
“When the Taoist examination is over, you gain fame, and you have money after being appointed as an official..., I will go back to Li’s house to redeem you...”
Wei Tu waited for Xinghua to be overjoyed, and then left the Yamen with Xinghua. On the way back to Li's house, he made a promise to Xinghua.
Even though he won the first place in the martial arts examination this time, he was not happy at the bottom of his heart, far from being as ecstatic as Xinghua.
After all...his military leader was obtained by the Huang family through dishonorable means.
“Tao test…”
“The Huang family will have no room to intervene, and the results achieved by then will be upright..."
Weitu clenched his fists.
"Hmm." Xinghua's cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and nodded, saying "Hmm" without noticing Wei Tu's abnormal behavior.
…
After the results were released, Wei Tu did not stay long in Qingshan County. After thanking Li Zhai for allowing him to stay overnight, he mounted his green horse and rushed to the capital of Qingfeng Prefecture.
Waiting for the government examination in April.
“Brother Yan Gong.”
As soon as he arrived in Fucheng, Wei Tu went straight to Shan Yanggong's residence in Fucheng based on the address provided by Shan Yangong. "Brother Wei, long time no see." Shan Yangong said with a sigh on his face.
Two months ago, when he left Sanyuan Township, Wei Tu was just a disciple of his father and his reputation was not yet apparent.
But two months later, Wei Tu was already the military leader of Qingshan County.
With his demonstrated strength, it is a sure thing that he will become a martial arts scholar in the Taoist examination.
After chatting for a while, Shan Yangong led Wei Tu into the inner house, met with Shan Min, and introduced his wife to Wei Tu.
“I am frail, and I have always had a grudge against my younger sister, so in order not to offend others, I wrote to my father during the Chinese New Year and stayed at home to take care of the housework…”
Single Yan Gong Dao.
Listen to this.
Wei Tu nodded. Shan Fang's character was indeed unpleasant. She had recruited a son-in-law and had the power to compete with Shan Yangong for family property. As time went by, the two sisters-in-law would naturally not be too harmonious.
After introducing his family members, Shan Yangong led Wei Tu to the other courtyard of his home, and assigned a maid and a servant to be responsible for Wei Tu's life during this period.
night.
Shan Yanggong held a banquet,
Let Wei Tu receive the wind and wash away the dust.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shan Yangong asked curiously: "I'm talking...after Brother Wei won the title of Military Chief of Qingshan County, Brother Wei...why are you not happy?"
He looked surprised.
What he said about Wei Tu being "not very happy" was not that Wei Tu was "unhappy", but that Wei Tu did not show any joy and pride in winning the title of Chief Wu.
Shan Yanggong thought to himself that even if Wei Tu was young and mature, he would not be like this.
Listen to this.
Wei Tu thought for a while and then told Shan Yanggong Huang Zhaidong's method.
Shan Wuju is his master, and Shan Yangong is Shan Wuju's biological son. He and Shan Yangong are almost both honored and humiliated.
Speak more bluntly.
If the Zheng court investigates this imperial examination fraud case, Shan Wuju and Shan Yangong will definitely be implicated. At the most, they will be deposed from their titles, at most, they will be imprisoned, and their entire family will be reduced to official slaves.
therefore.
Weitu was not worried at all that Shan Yangong would leak this matter.
“Master Huang, he is indeed a businessman, he is too treacherous.” After hearing this, Shan Yanggong sighed and said.
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
Wei Tu and Mr. Huang are acquainted. Things done by this relative will naturally implicate Wei Tu personally, not to mention the method used by Mr. Huang to cheat Wei Tu.
“But brother Wei, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you do well in the Taoist examination, even if there is fraud in the imperial examination, others will only think it is a joke..."
Shan Yangong comforted him.
The "comparison test" of the Dao test was more than ten times more brutal than the county test. At that time, the ranking could only depend on one's own martial arts strength.
“I don’t have to worry about this.” Wei Tu nodded heavily.
He also wanted to avenge his previous humiliation in the martial arts competition.
…
time flies.
in a blink.
It’s June when the Taoist examination is about to start.
In the past four months, Wei Tu easily passed the government examination by virtue of his status as the leader of the military force, and achieved a good result of sixth place in the government examination.
“It’s a pity that the health-preserving skills have not been perfected for a long time, and I have entered the state of feeling Qi.”
“Otherwise, if we compete in the government trials, we can win the title of military leader in the government trials with less talk.”
In a single house in Fucheng, after Wei Tu had practiced the health-preserving exercises more than ten times, he wiped his sweat and immersed himself in his own mind, taking a look at his destiny of "Late Bloomer".
“Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong (91/100): practice nine times a day, and it will be completed in five years.”
“Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist (33/100): practice seven times a day and complete it in three years.”
“But fortunately, I have made a small breakthrough with the Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist, and my sword skills have also improved, which has made up for my last shortcoming.”
Wei Tu thought.
The county examination is held in February and the prefectural examination is held in April.
He had two months to improve his sword skills.
Therefore, before the government examination started, after his unremitting efforts, [Tiger and Crane Double Form Fist] finally broke through to the level of Xiaocheng.
Hong Kong breakthrough.
The sword technique also broke through.
Benefiting from this, he achieved first-class results in both the "Dance of the Knife" subject and the "Competition Examination" subject of the prefectural examination.
PS: Part of the progress has been accelerated. After the county examination is written in detail, the government examination and road examination will not be written in detail.
