Chapter 284 Its more fun to be a brainless villain!
Again, if you haven’t been in contact with someone like Lin Daguan, you don’t know how difficult Lin Daguan is.
As the saying goes, no one can stop a gangster who knows martial arts, but Lin Daguan is even more extreme. He is a scholar who knows martial arts.
Fang Yushi knew that Lin Tailai did not dare to do anything to him on this occasion, but he was still speechless and had nothing to say.
But several of their comrades were humiliated by Lin Tailai, and they would really be unwilling to retaliate.
While Fang Yushi was silent, Lin Tailai muttered loudly:
"Only professionals can understand such a professional thing as martial arts. Although you are a royal censor, if you don't understand, speak less to avoid being laughed at."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
The other party is the censor responsible for inspection and supervision. No matter what your background is, Lin Tailai is just a candidate here!
No matter how you analyze it, for you, Lin Tailai, the best policy is to put people to rest.
As a result, after Lin Tailai got the upper hand, he didn't hurry up and found his way to the bottom of the steps, but kept making excuses here. Is this because he was afraid that his exam would be too stable?
Indeed, as everyone expected, Fang Yushi was completely angered. Let alone Fang Yushi, anyone else would not be able to suppress his anger when encountering such a candidate.
Looking around, Fang Yushi announced loudly: "I have been ordered to inspect the martial arts examination room and investigate Lin Tailai's illegal activities!
If you have any clues, you can report the truth now so that I can report back to Your Majesty!"
Lin Daguanren, who was condescending due to his physical advantage, also looked around and shouted with a louder voice:
"Let me see who is tired of living and dares to report me, Lin Tailai?"
Everyone: "."
Lin Tailai's performance is that of a pure villain, but other than the word "brainless", he can't be described.
They have indeed seen villains in real life, but they have never seen such a stupid one.
Logically speaking, such a brain-dead villain only exists in novels and novels, not in reality. But I didn't expect to see a real person today.
If nothing else, making hundreds of people present feel unhappy, what good will it do to you, Lin Tailai?
It may be because it arouses public outrage, or it may be due to other reasons. There will never be a shortage of people in this world who have the courage to place bets.
Immediately, a candidate stood up and said righteously: "I am Yu Kai, the general bannerman of Xuanfu Town. If there is any situation, I will report it to the superior!"
Fang Yushi encouraged: "Speak boldly! I will protect you fully!"
Yu Kai then reported: "In the martial arts performance just now, Lin Tailai is obviously not as skilled as Zheng Guotai, but the two are at the same level!
Therefore, there must be something unfair in the assessment, either Zheng Guotai was deliberately lowered, or Lin Tailai was deliberately raised!"
Fang Yushi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect such a gain. There was unfairness in the artificial scoring process.
He really didn't understand martial arts, so just now he couldn't understand the way at all and didn't feel it deeply. But he didn't expect that he almost let the opportunity slip under his nose.
But just saying it alone is not solid enough. Things must be solidified.
Before Fang Yushi could react, he suddenly heard Lin Tailai shouting: "The traitor is looking for death!"
Immediately, he saw a majestic body rising up and charging towards Yu Kai with great visual impact.
At this time, Yu Kai was talking to the censor directly, with his back to Lin Tailai, completely defenseless.
As a result, Lin Daguan punched him in the face from the side and behind, causing him to almost fall sideways.
But when he was about to fall but didn't fall down, Lin Daguanren quickly added a strong kick, causing Yu Kai to fly sideways for more than ten feet before landing. He was unconscious on the spot and no one knew what was going on.
The brainless villain succeeded in losing popularity and angered the righteous people. Immediately, someone else stood up. The other party's censor said:
"Qianhu Zhao Shi, the martial arts instructor at Xia Jingying, was ordered to conduct an assessment today and is willing to support what Yu Kai said!
During the martial arts performance evaluation just now, the examiner favored Lin Tailai and was unfair to Zheng Guotai!"
If it weren't for the inappropriate environment, Fang Yushi would really want to laugh three times!
It is said that if a person is crazy, he will be in trouble, and if he does not do something, he will not die. Just look at Lin Tailai!
Of course, Lin Daguan also wanted to laugh three times. He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly and that the fake Zheng Guotai could continue to maintain his identity.
After generating speculations and going through various tests, it was confirmed that the Zheng Guotai in front of him was indeed a substitute for the exam. Lin Daguan began to think about how to use this information.
When normal people encounter this kind of thing, what they want to do is to quickly expose the fact that the other party is pretending to take the exam, and then directly profit.
But Lin Daguan is obviously not a normal person. What he is thinking about is how to keep things escalating, and at the same time, the fake Zheng Guotai will not be exposed, and even continue to play.
I have to say, it’s quite fun to be a brainless villain, much more fun than being a brilliant protagonist.
At this time, I heard Fang Yushi announce: "Regardless of the civil and military examinations, there is no reason to announce the rankings on the spot. The same is true today, there is no need to rush to announce the rankings!"
He also said to Zheng Guotai: "If you encounter injustice, after my investigation is completed, I will definitely report to the court to give you justice!"
Several people shouted: "We are willing to support the pursuit of justice!"
Zheng Guotai was speechless. What is injustice? His status is the greatest injustice!
He is simply not suitable for being high-profile and high-profile. Ending the exam in a low-key manner is the way to go!
But why can’t we help ourselves? What’s the problem?
Lin Tailai still had an arrogant smile on his face, and things were getting more and more interesting.
At this time, the nominal examiner, Chief Sima of the Ministry of War, Zhang Jiayin, arrived late.
As the chief examiner, I have only arrived at the examination room now, so it is evident that the senior civil servants have a disdainful attitude towards the martial arts examination.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are other reasons. After all, the Minister of War, who is at a high level, always knows a little more information than ordinary people.
"Da Sima! Don't forget what you promised!" Lin Tailai shouted directly.
Zhang Jiayin: "."
Can you just shout it out like this? Besides, the condition I clearly agreed to you at the beginning is that it will not prevent you from passing the martial arts examination, no more!
The way other people looked at Mr. Lin became more and more like he was mentally retarded. Is there anyone like you who openly greets everyone about everything?
Fang Yushi seemed to have caught a new clue, and sneered: "No wonder the assessment in the examination room is unfair! It turns out that Lin Tailai colluded with you, Zhang Dashima!"
Zhang Jiayin: "???"
I wasn't there just now, what happened?
As the examiner, maybe I shouldn’t come to the examination room today?
After the third exam, the candidates left the martial arts school and dispersed in twos and threes.
Now that all the examination items have been completed, who can be the first in the end depends on the high-level game, and the rest of the love will be as it is.
Many candidates find it strange that this year is really weird. The usual martial arts exams are completely ignored by the outside world, but this time they actually broke out of the circle and started a high-level battle.
The fake Zheng Guotai who took the exam returned to the Zheng Mansion and told about today's situation, which immediately alerted Zheng Chengxian and the real Zheng Guotai and his son.
But he said that there was a reason why Zheng Guotai went to take the exam and was not found to be his replacement. The main reason was that everyone was not familiar with the Zheng family.
Anyone who is familiar with the system of the Ming Dynasty knows that the selection for the emperor's harem was from small households and common people, and Concubine Zheng's was no exception.
The Zheng family was originally a common people on the outskirts of the capital, and they were in completely different worlds from the circle of upper-class officials and elites, and had never had any contact with each other.
In the eleventh year of Wanli, Concubine Zheng was named a concubine. Zheng's father made an exception and was promoted to the third rank, and later he was promoted to the second rank.
However, it has only been three years since the "rise" of the Zheng family, and the contacts between this small upstart without real power and other officials and powerful people are still limited.
Besides, the most indispensable thing in the capital is noble military officers. Although the rewards received by the Zheng family exceed the treatment that a noble family should receive, it is still not too conspicuous in a capital where there are 180 Dukes and Dukes alone.
The above is the first aspect. The second aspect is that the only official in the Zheng family is Zheng's father, while Zheng Guotai has no official position.
Therefore, in some ceremonial occasions, it was Zheng's father who stood up and took the stand. When he was canonized, it was Zheng's father who came forward to receive orders. Zheng Guotai, who had no official position and no position, never appeared in public.
The third aspect is that although Concubine Zheng was favored, Emperor Wanli's intention to establish the third son of Concubine Zheng as the Eastern Palace has not been exposed at this time.
Therefore, the Zheng family did not attract as much attention as it did later, and not so many people paid attention to the Zheng family and its members.
Among the officials and dignitaries in the capital, Zheng Guotai currently has no sense of existence. Not many people have met Zheng Guotai, and even fewer are familiar with Zheng Guotai.
At this time, a member of the Zheng family who was a hunter in the mountains to the west came over.
This person has been familiar with bows and arrows since he was a child, has outstanding talent as an archer, and also learned a set of sword skills from a deserted soldier.
What's more important is that this tribesman looks somewhat similar to Zheng Guotai. As long as he slightly modifies his face and puts it in front of unfamiliar people, he can almost get away with it.
Then Zheng Guotai came up with the idea of letting this tribe take the exam for him and get a martial arts champion.
Although it is the icing on the cake for the Zheng family, what the Zheng family, who was born as a commoner, lacks is this flower that can decorate the lintel.
Of course, Zheng Guotai is not a fool. His plan is to hide his identity, take the test in a low-key manner, and get the first place in the martial arts test without making any publicity.
No matter what means the Zheng family uses, the emperor will admit it in the end. This is the Zheng family's greatest confidence!
Unexpectedly, the fake Zheng Guotai met Lin Tailai, an alternative in the examination room. This man surnamed Lin seemed to have a grudge against the Zheng family, and he would not let go, constantly provoking the fake Zheng Guotai.
As a result, now, the Zheng family has become more and more high-profile.
"How about forget it?" Concubine Zheng's biological father, Zheng Chengxian, the commanding officer of the second rank and salary department, said a little scared.
He was originally an ordinary folk father-in-law. In the past few years, he suddenly became prominent. He suddenly touched the ceiling and felt very uneasy.
The real Zheng Guotai has been hiding at home for more than a month. He said a little irritably: "Now that I am already riding a tiger, how can I give up?"
Mr. Zheng sighed and said: "If this continues, it will become increasingly difficult to cover up, so what should I do?"
But Zheng Guotai still insisted on continuing, "I have no fame or awards to begin with. Even if the matter is exposed, what can I lose?
Then Shen Shoufu's son still cheated in the provincial examination. In the end, he was just stripped of all his honors and ordered to live at home!
Since there is not much risk and there is a chance to win the top prize in martial arts, why not continue?"
Even last night, there were three chapters in total. Don’t say I’m not keeping my word!
