Later, Lin Daguan ruled out the cause of the butterfly effect, because he only traveled through time for a year, and the time that affected Zheng Guotai was even shorter.
No matter how good the butterfly effect is, it is impossible for a person to evolve into a top shooter in a short period of time.
Therefore, Lin Tailai believes that the most likely possibility is that Zheng Guotai cheated.
If it is a literary exam, there are many ways to cheat, including missing questions, entrainment, changing papers, taking exams for exams, etc. It is very diverse.
However, the methods of cheating in the martial arts exam cannot be as diverse as those in the literary exam. Thousands of people are watching at the scene to see how many arrows were hit on the target. It is impossible to tell lies with open eyes.
Therefore, there is basically only one way to cheat in the martial arts exam, and that is to take the exam as a substitute.
In the end, Lin Daguan combined the historical data with the on-site situation and concluded that the person who hit all six arrows in the examination room was not Zheng Guotai himself, but was taking the examination in Zheng Guotai's identity.
As the saying goes, forces change and water changes. Faced with this newly discovered situation, Lin Daguan immediately revised the original plan after thinking about it for a while.
Then Mr. Lin left the physical strength test site and headed to the archery range on the other side of the school field.
At this time, hundreds of people were still cheering around. After all, the wonderful scene of hitting all six arrows while riding is so rare that even other candidates couldn't help but cheer.
Lin Tailai parted his arms, and a passage appeared in the crowd, allowing Lin Daguan to enter the inner circle smoothly.
Then I saw a man in his twenties wearing a gorgeous uniform with arrow sleeves standing on the sidelines, talking to several military attachés who were supervising the shooting.
Lin Daguan's tongue was like spring thunder, and he shouted: "Zheng Guotai!"
The man in the gorgeous uniform with arrow sleeves turned his head and asked unhappily: "Who are you?"
Confirm the target! Lin Tailai strode forward, pointed at a circle of candidates around him, and said to Zheng Guotai:
"We have all worked our way up one level at a time, and we have tried our best just to gain fame!
And you are a relative of the emperor, and the emperor is very kind to your family. Your sister is already a noble concubine, and your father has been named the commander of the second rank!
You can obviously enjoy the glory, but you still have to compete with those of us who come from a miserable background!"
After hearing Lin Tailai's words, the candidates who had cheered for Zheng Guotai just now suddenly felt a little unhappy.
In fact, most of the candidates did not know Zheng Guotai's status as a royal relative. In the examination room, they only reported their names but not their identities.
Besides, the Zheng family only came into being in the past two years. Zheng Guotai has not yet been granted a title, and he has few opportunities to appear in public.
But Zheng Guotai didn't care whether others were happy or not, it didn't affect him at all, so he replied:
"In the examination room, everyone depends on their ability. Those who are more capable come first. What does it have to do with their origins?"
Lin Daguan was even closer to Zheng Guotai, his majestic figure was full of oppression.
He stretched out his finger again, poked Zheng Guotai's chest contemptuously, and said harshly:
"I told you before that Lin Tai came to claim the top spot in this martial arts test, and no one dared to object.
But you suddenly signed up for reference and dared to show off here, just to deliberately antagonize me, Lin Tai!"
Lin Daguan's words and deeds were very arrogant and arrogant. In the eyes of other candidates, he looked a bit like the villain in storytelling novels, or he was the true character of a villain.
But Zheng Guotai is not a retired official, and his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine. How could he be frightened by Lin Tailai?
He immediately sneered and counterattacked: "The title of No. 1 in the martial arts test is open to everyone, why can't I sign up?
The purpose of the martial arts test is to select talents for the country. Are you, Lin Tai, allowed to serve the country while I can only stand by and watch?
You're just relying on your stupid strength, and you're just bluffing because you're afraid you're not as good as others?"
Although Zheng Guojiu's words are well-founded and completely correct, compared with Lin Daguan's arrogance and arrogance, they seem to be missing something.
The other candidates around them were in a daze and had some misunderstandings. Who is the uncle?
Why does Lin Tailai look more like an arrogant royal relative than Zheng Guotai?
However, Lin Daguan is more confident in his heart. You will know if it is true or false once you try it!
Such a cowardly beloved brother must be a fake, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes.
At this moment, Lin Daguan seemed to be irritated because he couldn't reason with him. He grabbed Zheng Guotai's collar with his hand and waved his other fist.
The examiner next to me screamed: "Stop! Don't disturb the examination room!"
Another examiner who seemed to have heard of Mr. Lin’s deeds in the examination room shouted: “Lin Tailai! This is not Suzhou or Nanjing!”
The domineering Lin Daguan was severely warned, and then he let go of his hand angrily.
The other candidates looked a little doubtful of life, and once again murmured in their hearts, did Lin Tailai and Zheng Guoshu get the script wrong?
Lin Tailai strikes hard, but Zheng Guoshu is obedient. Who is the candidate who should be the villain and is the royal relative's privileged candidate?
It seemed that because he could not take action, his emotions could not be vented. Lin Daguan shouted provocatively:
"I heard that the admission principle for martial arts is to decide whether to stay or not based on policy, and to determine who is better based on martial arts!
In the first policy discussion, I wrote more than 7,000 words in two articles! May I ask Uncle Guo how much you wrote?"
Zheng Guotai did not respond. This cannot be explained in detail, nor can it be explained in detail.
Amid the surprised uproar around him, Lin Tailai said proudly:
"Zheng Guotai! Don't think that you can get whatever you ask for in the martial arts test just because you have found help in the court. If you have an official to wave the flag and shout for you!"
Zheng Guotai was stunned and speechless. What the hell is Yan Guan?
He didn't know how to answer this question at all, and he didn't know if there was such a thing.
Moreover, I had never expected that I would encounter someone like Lin Tailai in the examination room who dared to humiliate my uncle all the time, and I had no plan to deal with it.
Most people present were dubious, but that didn't matter. Mr. Lin didn't need others to believe him.
Lin Tailai slapped Zheng Guotai's face insultingly and threatened: "The martial arts test is not over yet, please take care of yourself. I hope you can walk out of the examination room intact."
Three days later, there will be a third test. The test items are weapons such as swords and guns.
Everyone can't help but be stunned. Even the villain is not so arrogant to the point of being mentally retarded, right?
After saying the cruel words, Lin Daguan left in a swaggering manner.
No one is allowed inside the examination room, so the servants and attendants can only wait outside.
As soon as Mr. Lin left the examination room, his subordinates immediately gathered around him.
He looked up at the sun and saw that it was only afternoon. Official Lin ordered: "There is still time today, so act quickly!"
Immediately, a group of people got on their horses and returned to the West City from the East City where the martial arts examination venue was located in the shortest possible time.
Since I had already inquired about the location in advance, I rushed to the door of Yushi Fang Wanshan's house without hesitation.
Before Official Lin got off his horse, he shouted to his disciples: "I am Lin Tailai! I want to see Yushi Fang!"
Menzi responded in horror: "My master doesn't see visitors!"
Without saying a word, Lin Tailai got off his horse, rushed forward, grabbed the door, and dragged him out to the street.
All the guys rushed forward, punching and kicking him.
A waiter asked in confusion: "You still have to go so far? What's the point of doing this?"
Lin Daguanren explained: "This time we are not being reasonable, and we have no right to fight each other, so rushing into someone else's house is a felony, so we can only pull them out and beat them outside."
While they were talking, there were two other servants who might have wanted to come out to save people, but they were also dragged to the street to teach them a lesson.
Officer Lin returned to the door and kicked it several times. Half of the door panel fell off, and was then lifted up and smashed into pieces.
After three strikes, five divided by two, the gate was almost completely destroyed. Then Lin Daguan stabbed the plaque down again, threw it on the ground and trampled it to pieces.
In all his actions, Mr. Lin strictly abided by the law and never crossed the threshold.
This humiliation was so humiliating that Fang Yushi finally couldn't bear it and rushed out. He stood under the screen wall and yelled at Lin Tailai.
But it was useless even if he only knew how to curse. Fang Yushi still watched helplessly as Lin Tailai demolished the door of his house. He was so angry that he was trembling with anger and could no longer curse.
Lin Tailai saw that there were many "audiences" on the street, and then it was his turn to speak. He pointed at Fang Yushi and shouted loudly:
"Don't think that I, Lin Tailai, am participating in the martial arts test and am afraid of affecting the results of the martial arts test, so I will tolerate you, Fang Wanshan, to do whatever you want and criticize Wang Shao Situ at will!
Don't think that threatening me by ruining my first place in the martial arts test will stop me from taking action!
Don’t think that I don’t know who is behind you, be it Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites or Xin Zongxian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I, Lin Tailai, will never be threatened by you people, and the Wang family will never be threatened by you people. threaten!"
You know, the southwest of the imperial city is full of official residences, and the people passing by are either officials or their family members and servants.
The audience can understand everything Mr. Lin said.
After finishing the scolding, Lin Daguan took out two more silver coins, smashed them hard on Fang Yushi, and shouted:
"This is money to pay for your front door! Don't say that I, Lin Tailai, am careless in my work!
I heard that officials like you don't like to discuss matters, but you like to impeach people the most. If you have the guts, go and impeach me!
If you don’t have the courage, don’t blame me, Lin Tai, for looking down on you!”
Fang Yushi was so angry that he couldn't stand firmly. He was helped by an old servant to keep him from falling.
"Impeach! Must be impeached! Contact your comrades to impeach! Even Wang Zhiyuan to impeach!"
Fang Yushi roared at Official Lin's retreating back, and mentioned four impeachments in a row.
"The imperial court prioritizes moral character in recruiting people. How can such a person with no virtue or conduct be admitted?"
Lin Daguan looked like a diligent acupoint actor. He ran through the doors of four houses in two hours. They happened to be the same four officials who criticized Wang Zhiyuan a few days ago.
Even the acting routines are relatively similar, the lines are also very similar, and there are even signs that they are becoming more and more exaggerated and careless.
But the basic effect was achieved, and Mr. Lin was very satisfied with his performance.
The guys were running around, and they were really tired. After seeing four houses, they asked for instructions: "Can we call it a day?"
Lin Daguan mused: "Why don't you go to Gu Xiancheng's house for a walk? I'll grab the grass and hunt the rabbits. They're all here."
The guys looked at each other, they were a little too sincere towards Gu Xiancheng.
That night, Xin Zixiu, the censor of Zuodu, called Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng, two officials from the civil service department, over for a small meeting.
Zhao and Gu were both middle-level backbones installed by the Qingliu forces in the official department. They were certainly the most important consultants in this kind of personnel competition.
This impromptu meeting tonight is, of course, to discuss Lin Tailai's crazy behavior in the afternoon and discuss how to respond and counterattack.
After making a decision, give instructions to your dialect officer.
Gu Xiancheng said: "Actually, I sent people outside the martial arts examination room to inquire about various information."
General Xin was a little surprised and said, "Why are you wasting your energy trying to find out about the martial arts field?"
In the eyes of civil servants, especially senior civil servants, martial arts are looked down upon. Generally, people with martial arts backgrounds have no chance to appear in front of them.
Gu Xiancheng explained: "Although the martial arts test is not important, as long as it concerns Lin Tailai, it is definitely right to ask for more information."
Xin Zongxian: "."
Why do you, Gu Xiancheng, look like a frightened bird?
Then I heard Gu Xiancheng continue: "I really got some important news. I heard that Concubine Zheng's brother Zheng Guotai also participated in this martial arts test and had a conflict with Lin Tailai on the spot!
I also heard that Zheng Guotai is Lin Tailai's biggest opponent in winning the first place in the martial arts test."
Zhao Nanxing said impatiently: "Does this have anything to do with what we are discussing tonight?"
Gu Xiancheng quickly replied: "So we can determine Lin Tailai's true purpose!
The direct purpose of his seemingly crazy behavior is to lead us to attack him.
Then they will try to trick us into colluding with Zheng Guotai!"
Zhao Nanxing said a little confused: "If what Gu Jun said is true, then Lin Tailai is still seriously ill!
In the final analysis, Zheng Guotai is just an ordinary relative, and he has no sin himself.
Just to suppress Lin Tailai and to side with Zheng Guotai, what does that mean?
It’s not like he favored Zheng Guotai because he was a clean figure, that might be a handle.”
Gu Xiancheng said distressedly: "Although I can't understand Lin Tailai's motives, I am certain that Lin Tailai's idea is to tie us to Zheng Guotai."
Xin Zongxian encouraged: "Now that we have seen Lin Tailai's thinking, what should we do next?"
Gu Xiancheng suggested: "For security reasons, when we criticize Lin Tailai, we should also criticize Zheng Guotai, so that no one can frame us for colluding with Zheng Guotai."
"No!" Xin Zongxian said hurriedly and firmly rejected Gu Xiancheng's proposal.
Then Xin Zongxian added: "Don't create extraneous matters! Zheng Guotai has no fault in the first place, and arbitrary criticism is really nonsense.
The key is that Zheng Guotai is the elder brother of the beloved concubine in the palace. If he criticizes him without any reason, it will probably trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder.
If the emperor demotes all our officials and demotes them, who will continue to criticize the king's wall? Wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss?
Gu Bulang, please remember that our target this time is the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance after all, not Lin Tailai."
Gu Xiancheng wanted to say something else, but Xin Zongxian also gave his own analysis:
"The idea of framing our collusion with Zheng Guotai may be that Lin Tailai deliberately exposed it and let us know about it.
In fact, it is to guide us to criticize Zheng Guotai and anger the emperor, so that he can fish in troubled waters, or besiege Wei and save Zhao.
At that time, Yan Guan will still have the energy to attack Wang Zhiyuan."
Zhao Nanxing sincerely praised him and said: "Thank you, General Secretary! Tomorrow we will take advantage of the situation and launch a more violent attack as Lin Tailai wishes!"
This time, Gu Xiancheng was on the first floor and saw Lin Tailai's behavioral thoughts;
Xin Zongxian was on the second floor and saw through Lin Tailai's hidden motives.
All in all, as long as you don't criticize Zheng Guotai, you can solve Lin Tailai's puzzle!
Gu Xiancheng still wanted to say something, but Xin Zongxian was no longer interested in dwelling on Lin Tailai's issue, and began to think about how to arrange the spokesman to launch a new round of offensive.
In the end, Gu Xiancheng could only sigh deeply, hoping that his premonition was wrong.
