Chapter 69: Well Deserved

Oh, damn old man, you didn't see my brother standing next to you, and you still refuted my face. I really see through you. The hat on your head is not even as high as the ninth grade, but you still have the nerve to say it's a black gauze, and you're not afraid of people laughing at you?

Being rejected in public made everyone feel uncomfortable. However, after hearing prison chief Zhang say that the death order was given by his superiors, it must be the Ma family brothers who were playing tricks behind his back. He did not embarrass prison chief Zhang, but Mr. Chai still pushed him over in a affectionate manner.

A lot of money, "With Brother Zhang taking care of me, I feel relieved. We will deal with this matter as soon as possible. Please bear with me these days, and I will thank you very much in the future."

Everyone knows that the food in Dilao is not that delicious, there is no good greeting, and there is nothing useful. With Xue Rengui's fiery temper, he will naturally have his good fruits. Mr. Chai is an expert in handling this kind of thing, and he knows when to leave

What procedure? Use a piece of silver and it will be effective immediately. Zhang Laotou said you're welcome, but he took the silver and put it in his arms. "Brother Chai can't believe me, right? I'm in the prison, I guarantee you won't

Something happened."

On the contrary, the people in the prison who specialize in doing evil things are the yamen like them. Mr. Chai felt more at ease after Zhang Lao's first words. Without further interruption, he knew that the matter of rescuing Xue Rengui was a bit tricky. Maybe the Ma family brothers were with Xue Rengui.

There was still work to be done on the body, so Mr. Chai asked Meng Xinghe to go back first and discuss it further.

The prisoner said hello, and the matter of rescuing Xue Rengui cannot be rushed. Meng Xinghe, who was still patting his chest on the promise, immediately realized that the matter was not as simple as he thought. Logically speaking, the Ma family brothers and Xue Rengui did not have any deep hatred.

How could you make things so difficult for him?

I can't figure out the key, and I always feel that this matter is a bit strange, but I can't figure out what the problem is. Even if the Ma brothers want to molest Xue Shiyu, Xue Rengui fights and hurts someone. The worst case scenario is that they will stay in jail for a few days and pay for some soup and medicine.

That's fine, there's no need to risk death.

Forget it, thinking too much is in vain. Looking at Xue Shiyu's tearful face next to him, Meng Xinghe comforted him: "Miss Shi Yu, don't worry, Xiaoli will come out safely."

Nothing else can guarantee that Xue Rengui's safety will not go wrong. The future Tang Dynasty will still rely on Xue Rengui to support it. If even Emperor Taizong's Ying Meng Xianchen had died, the Tang Dynasty would have been defeated by the people from the north.

Trampled to pieces by Turkic cavalry...

With a little comfort, after all, she is a weak little girl. Seeing that her biological brother cannot be rescued now, a kind of flesh-and-blood affection bites in her heart. How can it not hurt? Meng Xinghe can only comfort silently, hoping to give Xue Shiyu

A little confidence.

Well, Xue Shiyu tried hard not to cry. The white silk handkerchief covered her tall nose, and the sound of crying could be faintly heard. There was no blood on the originally fair face, and the whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

I suddenly felt quite haggard.

After sending Xue Shiyu back to Chunxiang Tower and comforting him, Meng Xinghe went directly back to Cuiweiju to find Mr. Chai to discuss the matter. He always felt that Xue Rengui's matter was not as simple as they thought. There might be many traps arranged, but it was just a guess.

I don’t understand. What exactly are the Ma brothers going to do with Xue Rengui? This is the most important starting point.

"######"

In the Taoyuan County Courthouse, the top ten candidates for this year's township examination have been judged. An examiner handed ten different test papers to the examiner, Mr. Meng, to do the final marking and determine the candidates' rankings.

After receiving the examination paper from the official below, Mr. Meng solemnly opened it and read it one by one. The official below reported by the way: "Mr. Meng, looking at this year's provincial examination, there is only one article that is very well written, with no pauses in the writing.

, it’s almost done in one go. The writing, writing, writing, and ink can all stand out in their own way, and it can be regarded as a good piece of writing in the examination room.”

I don’t know who became the lucky one among the examiners to be so optimistic. Mr. Meng was also moved when he heard it. He picked up the first of the ten examination papers. Based on past experience, he knew that the ones placed in the front were usually rare in the examination room.

As soon as he saw the masterpiece, Mr. Meng read it carefully.

After turning it over and over and reading it carefully several times, Mr. Meng immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "This book deserves to be ranked among the top three! There is no criticism in the writing, and the knowledge and insights are also beyond the reach of others. It is an excellent work, the best work." Mr. Meng got it.

After the praise, the officials below respectfully removed the red cloth sealing the candidate's name, and the three characters "Ma Wencai" appeared in front of Mr. Meng's eyes.

He took a look and seemed a little disappointed. Just now, the marking officer below praised him that Ma Wencai's article was probably the best among the ten papers.

It was not the person he expected, so Mr. Meng continued to look down.

Another excellent article. Holding a copy of the examination paper, Mr. Meng was ecstatic. This article is comparable to Ma Wencai's. The diction is full of talent, and the writing is as smooth as flowing clouds.

With insights, insightful and practical, he should be ranked among the top three.

Another candidate among the top three candidates was identified. He opened the red cloth and saw that the three characters "Zhao Haoran" were written vigorously and powerfully. Mr. Meng nodded with satisfaction this time.

However, Mr. Meng was still not satisfied. He always felt that he did not have the articles he wanted to read today. He was still not satisfied and picked up the examination papers below. When he got the last one, Mr. Meng opened it with disappointment and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The beautiful cursive fonts, round and fluent style, seem to have a bit of the style of the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This good calligraphy alone brought a visual impact to Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng's eyes followed the trend, and he wrote in one breath.

After reading the contents of the examination paper, he said with a serious expression: "Who read this examination paper?"

A tone that did not allow others to question made the marking officers below feel a sense of majesty and domineering. A short old man ran forward with a bow and whispered: "The next three examination papers will be reviewed by the following officers.

, whichever one is the best is recommended for your Lordship’s review.”

"Then read this article to me and see what are the shortcomings." Without hesitation, he threw the examination paper in front of the marking officer, and Mr. Meng suddenly became furious.

The marking officer held the examination paper with trembling hands and read out the examination paper in his hand with a buzzing sound.

"A wise man will always make a mistake after a thousand worries, and a fool will always gain something after a thousand worries. There is only one problem in reading, and there is a problem in not knowing the meaning. If you are not enough, you will not learn, and if you have learned, you will not be able to do it..."

The marking officer read out this article in a cold sweat, and his head was as wet as a heavy rain. Mr. Meng cursed angrily: "Such a good article, but it is placed at the end. If I am old-sighted and mark it indiscriminately, I will definitely end up with it."

We, the Tang Dynasty, missed a peerless talent, and such a sin of negligence, if it leads to the loss of talents, won’t the Tang Dynasty be disrupted by you and the world."

After reprimanding the people below him in a strong tone, Mr. Meng personally took the exam paper back into his hands and began to carefully consider the words and sentences. It looked like he was devotedly studying an extremely profound article, sometimes showing approval, sometimes showing approval.

He frowned deeply, as if he couldn't understand the exquisite sentences in it, but he had to admire them.

After watching for nearly an hour, the officials below were so frightened that they huddled together in silence. When a situation like this occurs in the scientific examination, anyone with a discerning eye will know that someone is cheating and suppressing the good articles of some officials.

After understanding all the contents of the article, Mr. Meng's face was filled with a feeling of satisfaction. The more exquisite the article, the spiritual food for great Confucians like them. Reading it once is not enough. You cannot understand an article until you really understand it.

The essence of.

Opening the red cloth on the examination paper with his hands, Mr. Meng finally smiled when he saw three signatures that looked like flying dragons and flying phoenixes. Then he took the red list beside him and added his name directly under Jie Yuan.

"Such a good article, even I can't write it, I deserve the first place." In front of all the grading officials, Mr. Meng gave everyone a positive answer. Then after seeing him think about it for a while, the top ten in this year's Taoyuan Township Examination were settled.

I’m determined and I’m just waiting to announce it to all the students on the day when the results are released.
