Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 544 Awesome
Ji Shu, who belongs to the fifth prince's faction, is unwilling to stand out.Seeing that the faction of the four princes had come forward at this moment, he was naturally happy to give Du Jinning a favor, and hurriedly said: "I also think that Du Jinning can be a solution."

Wang Shibin opened his mouth, and before he could say a word, he was preempted by the people from the three factions.

At this time, the only one left besides him is Xiao Yi, a royalist who remains neutral.Xiao Yi will not sing against Pan Yiting and others.This is equivalent to saying that, except for himself, everyone here agrees that Du Jinning should take the top spot.

He closed his mouth dejectedly and stopped talking.

It's useless to say.

Fortunately, Xie Yuan was not taken by Qi Siyu, that's enough.

Thinking of this, Wang Shibin looked back at Pan Yiting with the eyes of a victor, with a half-smile on his face: "Master Pan, I also agree with this suggestion."

Pan Yiting still wanted to see Wang Shibin's dejected expression, but he didn't want the smile on his face to be unbearable when Wang Shibin did such a trick to him.

He didn't see Qi Siyu during the third exam, so he knew he had lost the fight with Wang Shibin this time.Just thinking about the idea Wen Mo gave him, he became proud after beating Wang Shibin just now.Now that he thought about it, he hadn't drawn Du Jinning into his camp yet, so don't be so complacent and show off his feet, lest Wang Shibin find out and take the lead.After all, Du Jinning is close to the Qi family, and it is much easier for Wang Shibin to win him over than himself.

He snorted, turned his face away, and stopped talking.

It was not the six examiners who copied the names, but the subordinate officials of the government office, and they were supervised by officers and soldiers.They are attacking each other with guns and sticks here, and a few people there have copied the top 25 neatly.

The originally transcribed list was only the list of the third exam.As for the final admission and who the top three are, it will have to be discussed and determined by Pan Yiting and others.But now Xie Yuan has been taken by Du Jinning, Qi Muyuan is in the top three in all three exams, no one can compete with him, even if Pan Yiting doesn't want to, he is definitely No.2.For the scientific examination at the level of the provincial examination, the only one who can get into the eyes of Pan Yiting and the others is Xie Yuan.Third, No.4 gave them this faction, and he didn't even bother to ask for it.

Pan Yiting lazily asked Bo Wangfeng, Governor of Guizhou Province, who transcribed the list: "Look, among these 25 candidates, is there anyone who is virtuous or deficient?"

This is why scholars pay attention to reputation.As soon as the admission list for the second round is posted, Wang Feng will summon the people who have sponsored them to ask the candidates about their style.Once there are unfilial, bullying, stealing and other evil deeds, even if he is the first in every test, he will be removed from the admission list.

Wang Feng is not the inner curtain official, he knows Qi Siyu's crimes clearly.

Hearing Pan Yiting's words, he looked through the list carefully, and found that Qi Siyu's name was not on it, he was relieved, shook his head and said: "My lord, there are no people with bad morals or bad reputation. "

Pan Yiting said, "Then make a list according to this list."

After the scribe made a copy of the list and handed it to Pan Yiting, Pan Yiting got up, said his hard work to everyone, and went back to sleep in the yard.

The third exam ended in the evening, and they corrected the papers after eating, and it was already late at night.

In fact, in the third round, because there were few candidates, Pan Yiting and others didn't have to stay up late to mark the papers. They would spend the morning correcting the papers the next day after sleeping, and posting the rankings in the afternoon, without affecting the progress of the scientific examination at all.

It's just that the imperial examination is too important, and if the test papers are left there and not reviewed, problems are extremely prone to occur.Either a fire broke out, or they were subcontracted... Once these things happen, Pan Yiting and others cannot escape the blame.Therefore, none of them dared to slack off in the slightest. They would rather work harder, correct the test papers in time, and go to bed after getting the admission list, rather than being lazy.

Now that the admission list came out, more than a dozen people present saw it, and the list was transcribed and stored in several places. Pan Yiting even held a copy in his hand, so he was not afraid even if there were any accidents in the test paper.

Pan Yiting was the chief examiner, and he was the oldest here. After he left first, the other five examiners also left one after another.

But after everyone left, the servant Wen Mo who followed Pan Yiting out turned back again.

Wang Feng is a local official and still needs to do a lot of finishing work, so he didn't leave.Seeing Wen Mo come back, he smiled politely: "But Mr. Pan left something here?"

Wen Mo said: "That's not true. One of my master's favorite teacups is left here, and he asked me to look for it." As he spoke, he picked up a teacup from somewhere on the table, gestured to Wang Feng, and cupped his hands Farewell, "Excuse me."

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, pretending to have a sudden idea, and asked curiously: "By the way, didn't the grandson of Mr. Qi Yuandao did well in the first two exams? Why didn't you see him in the third exam?" His name? Could it be that this person is a person who seeks fame and reputation, and has no real talent or learning?"

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and said with a smile: "That man has a lack of virtue. During the exam, he felt that he could not pass Xie Yuan Du Jinning, so he even sent someone to set fire to the courtyard where Du Jinning lived, and was caught by the police on the spot. At this moment, he Convicted and sent to prison."

Wen Mo was stunned.

He didn't expect such a big event to happen outside, let alone that Qi Siyu was so stupid.

"Thank you Master Wang for telling me." He said, hurried back to Pan Yiting's residence, and reported the matter to his master.

When Pan Yiting heard this, he was also stunned.

After a long while, Fang shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's a good thing we didn't choose him as Xie Yuan, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it will cause us in the future. Qi Yuandao is also an old fool, and he actually raised such a grandson."

After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes: "It seems that Du Jinning is not a simple person."

Wen Mo nodded in agreement at first, but he was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Master, what does this have to do with Du Jinning?"

"After being set on fire, he took the exam unscathed, and he did so well in the exam, which shows that this person has a very stable mind. This is already very powerful. If this Qi Siyu sent someone to set the fire, solved the case so quickly and was arrested, everything will be fine. If it's not a coincidence..."

Wen Mo also reacted: "The master is saying that Yang Yuntao is playing tricks behind his back to get Qi Siyu out of this scientific examination, so as to pave the way for Qi Muyuan?"

Pan Yiting shook his head: "Yang Yuntao doesn't have the guts to think about it. But it's still possible to take advantage of the opportunity and make trouble. That's why I said that Du Jinning is not easy."

Wen Mo opened his mouth, wanting to say it was impossible.After all, Du Jinning is only 14 years old.But thinking that Du Jinning passed the Juren examination at the age of 14, and even got the title of Jieyuan, which is better than all the gray-haired old men, and he can't say anything to refute.

"It seems that I have to pull Du Jinning to my side no matter what." Pan Yiting secretly made up his mind.
