Dao fruit.

"Qiu Yan is the first? Mr. Wen is the third?"

"Qiu Yanzhen won the first place?"

"Young Master Qiu took the Hui Yuan?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Xu Ran, Qi Jiulian, and Song Qian each stood up from their seats, all showing surprised expressions. The words they said were different, but the meanings revealed were similar.

This news is really unexpected!

"Qiu Yan? Qiu Yan! Qiu Yan..."

Bang!

Wen Zhizhen chanted this name, his body strength seemed to be taken away, and he sat down on the chair with a cloudy expression on his face.

"I lost?"

While muttering to himself, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes showed strong unwillingness, his whole body was agitated, he inhaled and exhaled violently, then he gritted his teeth, got up and left, at a high speed.

"Mr. Wen..." Looking at Wen Zhizhen's hurried background, Xu Ran was a little caught off guard, looked at Pang Qianru, and stomped angrily: "It's all your fault!"

Pang Qianru spread her hands, showing an innocent look: "I'm just asking people to inquire about the news, how can you blame me? Didn't Mr. Wen just say that some rankings are determined in the examination room, not after the fact. Not to mention that there will be no change just because people from my Pang family went to inquire about it."

"You!" Xu Ran couldn't refute. Recalling Wen Zhizhen's expression just now, she felt pity in her heart, and didn't care about anything else, and walked away, apparently wanting to catch up with Wen Zhizhen.

However, Wen Zhizhen is a man, he ran wildly and disappeared in the crowd long ago, Xu Ran went out of the tavern, looked left and right, but he couldn't find Wen Zhizhen anywhere, in the end he could only rely on his memory.He looked in the direction the person left.

That's where the Guozijian is located, and there are many people gathered there.As far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people.

Behind, Qi Jiulian's voice came over——

"Then Wen Zhizhen is too good at pretending. What did you say just now, 'I'm lucky, but I'm lost'. Why did you become so eager when you turned around? Probably because you know that losing to Qiu Yan is unbearable." ?”

He was just recovering from the shock.Although it was hard to believe that Qiu Yan took the Huiyuan, he knew that the family members of the Pang family would not cheat such things.

Then, when he thought of the agreement he had made with Wen Zhizhen, his heart burst into ecstasy.

To be honest, since that day, every time I see Wen Zhizhen, I feel the indifferent, dissipated, and calm temperament of the other party.Qi Jiulian has a feeling of a stick in his throat, the specific reason is hard to say, but his dislike for Wen Zhizhen is getting stronger day by day.

Deep down in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope for Qiu Yan's victory over Wen Zhizhen, but followed Qiu Yan to act in a low-key manner.However, Wen Zhizhen caused a storm in the city, and his reputation gradually became better, and Qi Jiulian couldn't help but feel uneasy.

I was invited by Pang Qianru to watch the list today, mainly because I wanted to meet Qiu Yan, after the dinner that day. For 20 days, Qi Jiulian, Song Qian, Ji Zheng and others have contacted Qiu Yan successively.There was a conversation, but they could see that Qiu Yan seemed to be in a state of exploration and thinking. Even when talking with people, it gave people a feeling of being dual-purpose.

Under such circumstances, even if there is an important matter to discuss, it is inevitable that they cannot speak out due to various concerns.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan's performance also made Qi Jiulian wonder if the other party had no confidence in the test, thinking that Qiu Yan came out too early that day, he became more worried.

All these things made Qi Jiulian lose the confidence to speak out loudly in front of Wen Zhizhen after he came here today. Unexpectedly, such news came now, which can be described as a huge contrast.

Qiu Yan took the Huiyuan, but Wen Zhizhen not only failed to get the first place, but was overwhelmed by Qiu Yan, and he didn't even get the No.2!

This time, Qi Jiulian felt elated, and couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

But as soon as the words fell, Xu Ran glared at her angrily, and Qi Jiulian couldn't help but shut up in embarrassment, but Pang Qianru said: "Sister Xu, don't be angry, the kid from the Qi family is telling the truth, it's not that you just stared at me, can change.”

After hearing this sentence, Xu Ran finally broke out: "Pang Qianru, don't you like Mr. Wen? Why do you want to slander him again!" After saying this, she turned around and left without waiting for a reply.

Pang Qianru shook her head: "After all, she is an inexperienced girl who was strictly disciplined since she was a child, but because she has too few contacts with men, she is easily confused by stories about gifted scholars and beautiful women."

She glanced at the others and said again: "Okay, Xu Ran came out this time without a guard, and there are still hidden dangers in rushing into the crowd now, so I have to ask, let's follow quickly, besides, this time I will The test is extremely interesting, there are visions in the sky, and the rankings are also intriguing, don't miss it!"

After saying this, she went straight out of the tavern and walked towards the Imperial College, and soon someone followed her, and it was Ji Zheng. When she came over, she said softly: "You expected that Wen Zhizhen would lose to Mr. Qiu!" , so send someone over to investigate?"

"That's not true, but I don't think that Qiu Yan will be that simple." Pang Qianru responded lightly, watching Ji Zheng leave.

Song Qian wanted to greet her, but was stopped by Pang Qianru: "Ji Zheng and Xu Ran have a good relationship, let's go first, there is no need to ask more."

Then, a group of people walked slowly along the flow of people. The more they walked, the more tense and weird the atmosphere became, as if a storm was about to come.

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere is not right." Qi Jiulian frowned and muttered.

With the guards of Pan's residence working in front to open the way skillfully, they were able to pass unimpeded along the way without being blocked by the crowd. It didn't take long before they arrived at the outer edge of the Imperial College. From a distance, they saw a group of candidates standing in front of the gate, actually confronting others. Shouting in the mouth, there are even more people behind him responding.

Excited!

A few officials stood at the gate of the Imperial College, wearing official uniforms, but without a trace of official prestige. Instead, they were talking to the examinees profusely, with a bit of earnestness, as if they were trying to comfort them.

"What's going on here? What are they talking about? These Confucian scholars, do they still want to make trouble?" Pang Qianru looked at the scene in front of her with interest, and then turned her head to ask another question.

The Tsing Yi servant who came to check the list just now replied: "Someone is fishing in troubled waters here. When my subordinates just inquired, I heard someone said that they would try someone to cheat, which caused confusion among the crowd. It has become like this, those who failed the ranking seem to have joined together."

"Oh? This is someone trying to make use of it. I want to see how this person ends up." When Pang Qianru was speaking, she looked up at the sky and noticed that the vision was changing. It was originally a ray of light piercing into the sky. , now the light showed signs of dissipating, but the clouds in the sky were a little haloed.

However, even though such a change could attract the attention of the common people in the city, it could no longer attract the attention of the examinees. These examinees are now single-mindedly insisting on the matter of fraud, even confronting the officials!

This is to spell out a future!

However, after all, they all have the status of Juzi, and they also know the consequences of causing trouble, so they are still restrained, but the thoughts in their hearts are getting more and more inflated, and their thoughts are about to lose control.

Those officials were anxious, knowing that if they didn't handle it well, there might be troubles. Gathering crowds and chaos is the most taboo at the foot of the imperial city, let alone something wrong with the grand ceremony?

This was a matter of embarrassment to the imperial court, and no one dared to take it lightly, so they dared not make excuses, but secretly wrote down the few scholars who took the lead, and settled the score later, and now they can only appease.

Among the people who took the lead in making trouble, there was Cao Hanqi. Just now, he, Qiu Yan and others finally squeezed to the front. At a glance, the first thing that caught sight was Qiu Yan's name.

In this way, it is inevitable for people you know to congratulate, but to be honest, how many people can calmly congratulate others at this time?What I really miss is my grades.

After a quick scan, he didn't see his name. After repeated confirmation several times, he finally despaired. At that time, Cao Hanqi's face was ashen. Looking back on the hard work of the past few years, he felt sadness coming from his heart, and tears were about to fall.

Just at this moment, the crowd was commotion, and the candidates yelled "it's not fair", and then the news came that many of the candidates got into the list through cheating!

This is the terrible thing about spreading false rumors. The first rumor is just an introduction. People who hear it will exaggerate a little according to their own needs. When there are more people spreading the news, the news will be completely different.

"The mood of the crowd seems to be mobilized secretly, and it is difficult to calm down in a short time."

Under the list, Qiu Yan looked around and shook his head. His eyes seemed to hold a city. When he turned his eyes, he could see the dark aura lingering above everyone's heads, like clouds. This is because people's hearts are being controlled by rumors. Kidnapped by desire, combined with the power formed by emotions, can invade people's hearts and infect others.

"Continue, maybe there will be a heart demon born!"

Having said that, Qiu Yan did not plan to intervene, but waited quietly.

Beside him, Zhou Guan was talking to Luo Jiayun. They both looked at the list, but their expressions were very different. Although Zhou Guan deliberately suppressed it, he could still see joy from his brows, while Luo Jiayun's expression was gloomy.

At the time of the test, the elites of Darui gathered in one place, and only a few stood out. In the entire Jiannan Road, there were only a dozen people who could make the list. Some people were happy, but some were frustrated.

Also comforting Luo Jiayun a few words, Qiu Yan's heart moved, he looked up, his thoughts stretched over, feeling the changes in the clouds.

There, the vision originating from the examination paper is matching with the idea of ​​the city with Qiu Yan's thoughts.

at this time.

collapse!collapse!collapse!

With the sound of pushing the door, the gate of the Imperial College was smashed by a martial arts examinee. Then he waved his arm, and the momentum of the crowd suddenly rose. Under the urging of the crowd, the thin scholar also howled forward, blocking the way. His soldiers were overthrown and trampled by everyone!

"What did you say! Rumors have spread?"

Tian Mansion, Tian Youqing, who just received the news, is as pale as paper!

"This...what should I do? This shouldn't be, isn't it already dispatched?" He muttered to himself, and finally slapped the table violently, gnashing his teeth, "Lai San! Lai San! You..."

Amidst the scolding, Tian Youqing's pale face suddenly flushed abnormally, and then he rolled his eyes and fell down!
