Chapter 199 Rumors are Flying in Taoyuan County

The case was temporarily concluded, and the county magistrate Fang ordered someone to close the gate of the court to cut off the sight of all the people. Then he said to Tao Hechen with a smile: "Nephew Tao Xian, the topic of the county examination this time is very interesting. smoothly?"

Tao Hechen was a little flattered to hear Fang County Magistrate call himself so: "My lord, the grassroots are no more than a mere student, so I shouldn't be called by an adult like that."

"Where." County Magistrate Fang said with a smile: "You are a student of Zhou Xuesi, so you deserve that title. Don't belittle yourself."

Among other things, among Zhou Muwen's students, which one is not a pillar of the court today?
Zhou Muyuan is a third-rank official, and in the eyes of the common people, he is already a very big official, but in the capital, a third-rank official is actually nothing, but Zhou Muyuan is like a fish in water in the capital, even if the official rank is higher than him, he is also a big official. Polite.

why?
It's not because Zhou Muwen's students are so powerful now.

In the same way, Tao Hechen, who is also a student of Zhou Muwen, will be worse in the future?He had heard that this Tao Hechen was valued by Zhou Muwen.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Tao Hechen was a little embarrassed.

It was only then that Qian Lian understood, she just said it, she always felt weird, she felt that the county magistrate Fang seemed to be showing favor to their family intentionally or unintentionally, but it turned out that it was for Zhou Xuesi's sake.

Well, let's send Zhou Xuesi some snacks made of spiritual spring water later to express my gratitude.

County magistrate Fang smiled and said something to Tao Hechen again, encouraging Tao Hechen to take the county examination well, and then told him to turn around and say hello to Zhou Muwen for him, and then let Qianlian's family leave the county office.

Tao Changtian and the others waited outside the county government office. Seeing Qian Lian's family come out, Tao Changtian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Although Village Chief Tao heard that Fang County Magistrate is diligent and caring for the people, he is an official after all, and they are ordinary people. What if the county magistrate embarrasses Qianlian's family in private? but.

Therefore, Tao Changtian and Lin Dazhuang were quite worried when the county magistrate left Qianlian's family alone for such a long time.

Tao Hechen responded with a smile, "Thank you, grandpa, the village chief. Everything went well. I'll just come to the county government when I catch other people."

Seeing that things had not changed, Tao Changtian and Lin Dazhuang were relieved.

Thinking of what he just heard, Lin Dazhuang frowned, and whispered to Tao Hechen, "Hechen, who did you offend?"

Tao Hechen froze for a moment, then said, "No."

Qianlian asked curiously, "Uncle Lin, what happened?"

Lin Dazhuang frowned and said: "When I was waiting for you just now, I went to the teahouse over there to buy a pot of tea. I heard something in that teahouse, saying that He Chen came to participate in the county examination this time because he had gone through the wrong way. of."

"What!" When Duan heard this, she hurriedly said, "Why, my family, Chen, reads until late every day. He took the exam with his own efforts. Besides, Zhou Xuesi said that Chen is very good at reading. talent."

Lin Dazhuang said angrily: "That's right, but those people said that Hechen relied on Zhou Xuesi's connection, and came to take the county examination after only two months of official school, saying that he didn't even read all the books, so he had to rely on Zhou Xuesi's connections. Zhou Xuesi's name took a shortcut."

Just now Lin Dazhuang was so angry that he quarreled with those gossipers, scolded them so much that they dared not speak up, and then he came back, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, these people didn't know He Chen, so they talked about him inexplicably Bad words, Lin Dazhuang watched Tao Hechen grow up, how could he be wronged like this.

"It's too much!" Duan's face turned red with anger: "These people are simply trying to tarnish the reputation of Chen and Zhou Xuesi."

"That's right." Tao Changtian also frowned and said, "He Chen doesn't know anyone in this county, how could someone say that about him? I think someone must be jealous of He Chen and spread these rumors."

Qianlian and Aman looked at each other, and thought of Tao Zhili at the same time.

But regardless of whether these rumors were created by Tao Zhili or not, the most urgent task is to stop these rumors first, otherwise if these rumors are not stopped and let the rumors continue, it will have an impact on Tao Hechen's reputation. After all, people who want to be officials Well, good reputation is very important, if someone suspects cheating in exams and taking advantage of others, his future official career will be greatly affected.

I only heard Tao Hechen say: "The one who is clear is self-clearing. If someone really doubts my knowledge, at worst, let the examiner give me a question on the spot. As long as I prove that I have real talents and learning, those rumors will be self-defeating."

For his knowledge, Tao Hechen is still very confident.

This is naturally a good way, but the main messenger behind the rumors still needs to be found out, otherwise let that person make trouble secretly like a mouse in the gutter. Although he is not afraid of him, it is also disgusting.

Qian Lian then said: "Brother, just pretend you don't know about this matter, take the exam at ease, and leave the other matters to me and Aman."

"There's me, there's me." The old pine spirit said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, you can just take the exam with peace of mind. With us, don't be distracted by this matter."

"Well, don't worry, it won't affect me." Tao Hechen also knows that the most important thing now is to take the exam first, and everything else will be discussed after the exam.

Tao Changtian and Lin Dazhuang were not at ease, so they wanted to stay and help, so Qianlian persuaded them to go back to Taoshan Village. She, Aman and the old pine spirit were enough for this matter. Can't make up the words?

Seeing this, Tao Changtian and Lin Dazhuang had no choice but to go back to Taoshan Village first, and told Qianlian that if there was anything that needed their help, just ask someone to call them.

After sending Tao Changtian and his party out of the scene, Qian Lian and the others returned home. Not long after arriving home, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Opening the door, it was Zhou Ying.

Today Tao Hechen took the exam, Zhou Ying couldn't wait outside the county government office, so she planned to come to Tao's house in the afternoon, but she knew that Qian Lian's family had gone to the county government office in the afternoon, she was worried about something, so she hurriedly asked People went to inquire about the situation, and learned that it was Qianlian's family who sent a thief to the county government, so they were relieved, but they didn't know that they heard rumors about Tao Hechen participating in the county trial and leaving the back door.

This made Zhou Ying furious, so she sent someone back to Taohua Town to tell Zhou Muwen about the incident, and then came to Qianlian's house.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Ying whispered to Qianlian: "Qianlian, there are rumors about Hechen outside now, if you know, please don't tell Hechen, so as not to affect his next exam, I have sent him Someone went to tell the second uncle, it is estimated that the second uncle will come tomorrow."

As soon as Qian Lian heard it, she knew that Zhou Ying also knew about the rumor, so she smiled: "You are too late, my brother already knows about the rumor."

Zhou Ying became anxious when she heard it: "Will that affect his exam?"
