I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

Suddenly, the backyard of the Governor's Mansion was dead silent.

Shen Wuque and Fu Tieyi tied for first place?

How is this possible?

What a joke?

Is there anything more absurd in this world?

After a brief silence, dozens of officials present shouted: "There must be a trick here. Even if the sun rises in the west, Shen Wuque can't tie for first place with Master Fu Tieyi."

"Don't I know that Shen Wuque is a prodigal? He is uneducated and unskilled. It's amazing that he didn't get the last place in the exam."

"There are still seven or eight hours before the results are announced. How can it be announced now? Someone must be playing a prank."

Not only did the officials present think it was impossible, but even Fu Tieyi thought it was extremely absurd.

Shen Wuque tied for first place with himself?

Is there a more absurd fairy tale in this world?

Is it a trick?

Even with Fu Tieyi's talent, Luo Mengshu in the arithmetic department can only arrange sixteen rows in more than two hours.

He knew the answer in advance, so he solved eighteen rows.

Shen Wuque didn't know the test questions in advance, how could he solve this question?

And the policy essay?

Shen Wuque knew the policy essay topic in advance, and Mi Daoyuan wrote the policy essay himself. How well did he know the highest will of Sky Book City?

What does Shen Wuque know about high-level politics? Does he understand the defeat of Sky Book City in the Dongyi Empire?

Without knowing this, how can Shen Wuque solve the questions? How to write a good policy essay?

As for the alchemy subject, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let's not talk about it. The key is the martial arts subject.

Shen Wuque is an eighth-grade middle-level martial artist, and at most he can only get 10 points.

With such a score, he is at least 100 points behind Shen Wuque.

In this academic city exam, it is amazing for Shen Wuque to be on the list, and it is impossible for him to be in the top 100.

Want to tie with him, Fu Tieyi, for first place?

Is he talking in his sleep?

He, Fu Tieyi, is the only one who seeks to defeat the enemy. No one can see his back. This is an ironclad fact.

At this moment, he could no longer hold back and said in a cold voice: "Sky Book City, will you let them do this? This person who posted the red list randomly must be arrested and punished."

"Yes, yes, yes, arrest him." The official present said: "If Grandmaster Yuan Hu does not send the city warriors to arrest people, let the city guards arrest people, or the Governor's Office arrest people."

"Do you want to make the three southern provinces' exams a laughing stock by making such a joke?"

Everyone in the audience thought it was a prank.

And at this moment, a middle-aged man rushed in quickly.

"Governor, Mr. Fu, the headmaster wants you to go over there as fast as possible. Don't take a sedan chair, ride a horse directly."

This person is Mi Daoyuan's confidant.

Fu Jianzhi and Fu Tieyi nodded, and the two immediately walked out of the Governor's Office, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards Tianshui Academy.

………………………………………………

In the Wuxiang Pavilion of Tianshui Academy.

Mi Daoyuan, Hua Canglang and others are all there.

There is another young man, Mi Qi, who is the youngest brother of Mi Jun and is named Marquis of Mount Li.

The Mi family has kings, dukes, and marquises.

A true top dignitary.

This Marquis of Mount Li has dishevelled hair and wears a red robe with his chest slightly open.

His lips are painted red and he has long nails.

He looks a bit coquettish.

His manner is uninhibited.

"Hello, Marquis of Mount Li!" Fu Jianzhi and Fu Tieyi bowed.

Marquis of Mount Li Mi Qi returned the greeting gracefully.

Mi Daoyuan said: "Two things, the first one, let Mi Qi tell you."

Lishan Marquis Mi Qi took out a piece of paper and read slowly: "After separation, I recall the times we met, and we had the same aspirations. Tenderness is like water, and good times are like dreams. If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night? When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world."

After listening to it, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Mi Qi, the Marquis of Mount Li, said, "How is it written? I think it's great. I have asked my men to compose the music and prepare to sing it everywhere. The lyrics are really beautiful."

Fu Jianzhi said, "It is indeed very well written. Is this the new work of the Marquis of Mount Li?"

Mi Qi said, "No, this is the new work of Fairy Caiwei."

Fu Jianzhi was stunned, then smiled and said, "This is my daughter's work, how come I don't know? She is busy with affairs now, so she shouldn't be reciting poems and composing fu."

Mi Qi said, "This is written by Caiwei to Shen Wuque, and Shen Wuque sent someone to deliver it to our house."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Jianzhi's face changed drastically.

Fu Caiwei has already married Mi Shaojun, but she wrote such an ambiguous love poem to Shen Wuque. This is not a good wife.

You know, the Mi family is a top noble, how can they bear such humiliation?

Fu Jianzhi stretched out his hand and said, "Can I take a look?"

Mi Qi handed it over.

Fu Jianzhi read it carefully several times, and then carefully identified the handwriting.

It was indeed Fu Caiwei's handwriting, but there was something wrong.

"The last few sentences were definitely not written by my daughter. Although the handwriting is very similar, the ink is different. Moreover, my daughter Fu Caiwei is very good at martial arts, and the force of the words penetrating into the paper is also different." Fu Jianzhi said.

Mi Qi said: "Yes, after separation, remembering the reunion, and several times with the same aspirations as you wrote these three sentences Caiwei wrote, and the last few sentences were added by Shen Wuque. Because the artistic conception is completely different, it feels quite disconnected. But Caiwei shouldn't have written the first three sentences."

Is this a culprit?

Fu Jianzhi pondered for a moment, laughed and said: "My daughter is not bound by rules, she is not an ordinary child. Mi Shaojun is not an ordinary man, we can't judge him by ordinary people."

His attitude was a bit tough. In short, he would never admit that he was unfaithful to his wife.

He, Fu Jianzhi, would not admit his daughter's fault.

Lishan Marquis Mi Qi lay down lazily and said lightly: "Whatever the governor said, that's it. But I want to tell the governor that some rifts are difficult to mend once they are formed. The princess has read this letter and is very unhappy."

Then, Mi Qi said: "By the way, I heard that Lord Fu Jianzhi will be promoted to the governor of the four southern provinces of the empire. Congratulations."

The empire has developed maritime transportation, and 70% of maritime trade is in the four southern provinces, so the governor of the four provinces is almost the richest governor in the world.

Moreover, this position is not only in charge of maritime trade, but also in charge of the empire's southern navy, which is more important than the governor of Tiannan Province.

Fu Jianzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Of course, he also knew this news, but... the most important thing now is another thing.

He wants to confirm whether what is said in the secret letter is true?

Wasn't it true that Shen Wuque and Fu Tieyi were tied for first place?

The political interests involved in this matter are too scary.

It can be said that once Shen Wuque really won the first place in the city school exam, his position as the governor of the four provinces' maritime affairs would be in jeopardy.

This is not just about the ranking of the city school exam, but involves huge interests.

If Fu Tieyi loses, he, as a father, will naturally have to pay off his son's debt.

Fu Jianzhi immediately said, "Shanshi Mi Daoyuan, Du Wenlong wrote me a secret letter, saying whether the exam results are true or false?"

Fu Tieyi asked, "Shanshi, who is so malicious? Arrest them, including the person behind the scenes."

"There are still seven or eight hours before the results are announced, and someone posted the list, just to disrupt the right and wrong and add fuel to the flames. They must be caught in one fell swoop."

Mi Daoyuan glanced at Fu Tieyi indifferently, and said slowly, "No, this is true. Shen Wuque and you are indeed tied for first place. Not only that, he scored full marks in all three main subjects, and only five points were deducted from the alchemy subject, and those five points were fished by Sky Book City to fish out the undercover of the Western Church in the East."

As soon as these words came out, Fu Jianzhi and Fu Tieyi's faces changed drastically.

Especially Fu Tieyi, who felt like he was struck by lightning.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He felt that his thinking was completely overturned.

In the three main subjects, Fu Tieyi should have scored full marks. It was great that Shen Wuque passed the exam, how could he have scored full marks?

In the arithmetic subject, he definitely scored full marks.

In the policy essay subject, he should also score full marks, because it was personally handled by Mi Daoyuan, and it was absolutely correct.

In the classics subject, he should have scored full marks.

Mi Daoyuan said: "The current situation is that Yuan Hu ordered two or three thousand warriors from the school city to completely surround the examination room. No examiner or examiner can leave the examination room."

"Fu Tieyi and Shen Wuque tied for first place. The two deputy examiners and 90% of the examiners felt that the candidates should be ranked according to their age, with Fu Tieyi first. The chief examiner Yuan Hu and 10% of the examiners felt that the candidates should be ranked according to their scores in the three main subjects, with Shen Wuque first."

"In order to support Shen Wuque, Yingzhou professor Gao Qi rebuked everyone for being unjust and wanted to kill himself in public, with his life or death uncertain."

"Yuan Hu suppressed all Some people want to put Shen Wuque first. But he couldn't suppress all the examiners, so he sent soldiers to block the examination room. "

"The current top ten list was posted by Yuan Hu."

Hua Canglang asked: "Does Yuan Hu want to die? Why is he so supportive of Shen Wuque?"

Mi Daoyuan said: "He is born righteous, and Wen Zhong has done him a favor."

Fu Tieyi said: "There is cheating here. Yuan Hu is also a reformist in secret. He colluded with Wen Daozi to cheat for Shen Wuque."

He felt that Shen Wuque was really a rat in the gutter, and he, Fu Tieyi, was an eagle in the sky.

The two cannot be compared.

Now Shen Wuque's grades are the same as his, or even slightly better. How can he accept this arrogant man?

Mi Daoyuan said slowly: "Cheating? How to cheat?"

"The test papers were specially delivered by the eagle rider half an hour before the test. The examiner Yuan Hu only knew the test questions when the test questions were opened. How to cheat?"

"So Shen Wuque's results are real. I don't know what he has experienced in these eight years, and he has undergone such a transformation. Maybe he is a genius, but he loved Fu Caiwei too much, so he completely abandoned his studies."

Mi Daoyuan said slowly: "But this is not important at all. The key is that we can't lose this battle, and we can't afford to lose."

"Once we lose, what will the price be? Everyone knows it."

"The reformists represented by Wen Daozi have revived. All the thirty large warships we have obtained, It's gone. My resignation as the dean of Tianshui Academy is the least of my worries."

"This is not just about warships, it also represents the right to trade at sea. To lose it again is the most fatal."

"Outside the examination room, we have all the initiative. Inside the examination room, Yuan Hu has all the initiative."

"We want to make Fu Tieyi the first, but we can't."

"Yuan Hu doesn't have the signatures and seals of the other two deputy examiners, so he can't make Shen Wuque the first."

"The two sides are deadlocked, and neither can win."

"There are still six hours before the results are announced at dawn, so we only have six hours left."

"There are only six hours left for Yuan Hu and Shen Wuque."

"We all need to break the deadlock!"

"We will turn the tide at all costs. Suppress Shen Wuque and let Fu Tieyi become the first."

"I will go to Sky Book City to ask for permission immediately. I will come back within six hours to decide the outcome in one fell swoop! During this time, you can not win, but you must not lose."

"The list will be opened on time after six hours. This is a rule that has been in place for hundreds of years. No one can violate the golden rule of Sky Book City!"

"We don't have much time left, and Shen Wuque and his team don't have much time left either. The decisive battle will begin soon. In order to win, no matter how much blood we shed or how many people die, I just want to win."

Accompanied by Mi Daoyuan's gloomy voice.

Under the night, a full 20,000 people surrounded the examination room like a dark tide.

The entire Yingzhou City was covered with dark clouds, and a storm was coming!

At the same time!

The Yingzhou Villa where Shen Wuque was.

A beautiful female figure floated over and said coldly: "Shen Wuque, can you come out and see me?"

If you don't have a monthly ticket, a recommendation ticket is also good. Can you give it to me?
