Chapter 38 The villain’s cannon fodder
The sky was getting slightly dark, and the door of the examination room was finally opened. The students who had been taking the exam all day were already exhausted and walked to their families who had been waiting for a long time, or went back to the inn alone.
A group of people poured out of the examination booth, including Xu Mingcheng and Gu Wensong. They quickened their pace and walked to Lin Wan and others.
"Go home." Lin Wan patted Xu Mingcheng's shoulder and sat on the carriage before saying, "Did nothing happen?"
It wasn't that she was unfounded, but that something was wrong with Xu Yan's performance. She always felt that he would definitely do something, maybe do something to Xu Mingcheng who was taking the exam.
But if this was done, Xu Yan would be ruined. After all, no one would offend her for a nobody like him, and since he had no money, no one would be willing to do it. He could only do it himself.
She was worried that Xu Yanzhi would jump over the wall and ruin Xu Mingcheng.
Although the Xu family was not living in poverty these past few days, and was even living a relatively good life compared to others, Lin Wan did not kill them all, but she couldn't hold back the people's hearts.
"No, I didn't meet him." They were not far away, but there was no need to worry Mom, he could handle it.
"That's good. Safety is the most important thing anyway. Let's wait until the exam is over before we talk about anything else." Lin Wan was still worried, but she didn't show it anymore.
But I was afraid of what would happen. The next afternoon, the door of the examination room was opened a quarter of an hour longer than last night. The people waiting outside were a little anxious. Could something have happened? I had never heard of it before.
The opening time of the examination shed will be delayed for no reason.
The sky was already slightly dark, and the door of the examination room was slowly opened, and students came out one after another. After more than half of them had gone, Xu Mingcheng and Gu Wensong were still not seen.
Lin Wan and the Gu family couldn't help but look at the crowd, and finally saw them approaching, and they seemed a little embarrassed.
"What's going on?" A group of people hurriedly came over. "Didn't you go to take the exam? Why did it look like you had a fight with someone else? Are you hurt anywhere?" Mrs. Gu said anxiously.
It's not that Mrs. Gu is anxious, but that Gu Wensong looks in such a miserable state, his clothes are messy, and the hair crown on his head is crooked, and there are even a few strands of hair falling down, which makes him look miserable.
"Mom, I'm fine." Gu Wensong grinned, and then told what happened inside. It turned out that Xu Yan rushed out when he was handing in the paper and wanted to tear up Xu Mingcheng's paper. Gu Wensong protected him as soon as he saw it.
, Fortunately, Xu Mingcheng often practiced martial arts with Zhou Lin, and he subconsciously put away the papers the moment Xu Yan rushed up.
"He was protecting the paper, and Gu Wensong was protecting him and Xu Yan was torn together. Gu Wensong was angry but he didn't attack lightly. Xu Yan knew that he had no hope of participating anymore, and the resentment in his heart reached the extreme. He was merciless when he attacked, so Gu Wensong
That’s what it became.”
The rules of the imperial examination are strict.
In order to prevent candidates from cheating, the imperial examinations were more strictly controlled.
Even the students' names are blurred on the examination papers to prevent anyone from bribery of officials. There are also yamen officers who often patrol during the examination to prevent anyone from bringing in things that do not belong to the examination room and cheating.
Even as the papers were being collected, two government officials with knives stood by to intimidate them.
But I didn't expect that Xu Yan would take a risk and put his own future on the line in order to destroy Xu Mingcheng. Even if Xu Mingcheng really missed out because of him this time, Xu Mingcheng could still continue next year, but he had no chance.
Not to mention that Xu Mingcheng was not affected at all, and he handed in the papers well, and he would also be punished for disturbing the examination room. If it was more serious, he would be punished for practicing favoritism and would be punished with a rod and exiled for three thousand miles and nine years for nine years.
When I came back later, I couldn't take the imperial examination.
It can be said that Xu Yan, who was cultivated by the entire Xu family, was ruined.
"Aunt Bai, it's because of me, Wen Song..." Mrs. Gu stopped him from continuing, "Wen Song did the right thing. If he watched your paper being destroyed and remained indifferent, then Aunt Bai would want to fight.
As for him, and he’s thick-skinned and thick-skinned, he’ll be fine even if he’s beaten.”
Gu Wensong's expression was hard to describe. He just said that he was not his mother's biological child. Look, he looked distressed just now. Now that he knew it was related to Ming Cheng, his expression changed again. He suspected that his mother was a changer in her previous life. Otherwise, how could she have done it?
He became so fast and so skilled.
But even if he did it again, he would do it again. He didn't regret it. Like his mother said, if he really watched Ming Cheng's paper being destroyed and still sat idly by, then he would really regret it.
"Aunt Lin will prepare delicious food for you when you go back." Lin Wan smiled, feeling grateful.
Gu Wensong immediately laughed and said, "I know that my Aunt Lin is the best, unlike some people who don't know how to care about their own sons." This was a slap in the face.
Is she someone?
Mrs. Gu narrowed her eyes slightly and gritted her teeth. She endured it. If she hadn't seen this brat in such a mess, she would have wanted him to feel the power of maternal love.
The group of people walked to Lin Wan's Baiweixiang hotpot restaurant. Now Baiweixiang has already accumulated a large number of loyal old customers. In addition to the county examination in the past few days, Lin Wan directly gave them a 50% discount, so that Baiweilou
The seats were packed, but Lin Wan had already asked to reserve a box.
Lin Wan had someone bring up the food she had already prepared, which she had prepared when she came back when the examination room was about to open, and then had someone warm it before rushing back to wait for them.
However, what she cooked was relatively light. She was afraid that something might happen during the exam, so she would reward them with a meal after the exam.
The third, fourth, and fifth games all passed without incident, but the next day Xu Yan's disturbance in the examination room was still publicized, and for a while, there was an uproar in Yunyang County.
After the exam, Lin Wan put away all Xu Mingcheng's books and asked Gu Wensong to take him out to relax.
Five days later, the county test results will be released.
Although everyone has confidence in them during these five days, it is inevitable that they will be nervous. After all, they are competing with hundreds of students, and there are countless more students who have been studying for longer than them.
Among these people, only Lin Wan was the calmest. After all, he knew that Xu Mingcheng would be the number one scholar in the future, so for him, it would be shocking if he failed this kind of exam.
But other people didn't know that they were all excited. They went to the entrance of the examination room early in the morning and stared at the plaque, waiting for the officials to release the results.
