Wei Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but the students should still be able to make it in time."

"Oh?"

Under the doubtful gaze of his instructor, Wei Chen slowly took out two papers full of words from the bag on the side.

"Just now, I was afraid that the rain would splash and wet the paper, so I put the transcribed main volume into my book bag early. As for the stains on the table, most of them were scrapped manuscripts. At the moment, there is only one question from the Five Classics that needs to be transcribed again."

This sudden turn of events caused all the candidates in the room to look over in surprise.

The instructor also glanced at Wei Chen in surprise, and then praised sincerely: "Wei Chen, you are meticulous and thoughtful in your work. No wonder Lu Jiaoyu is full of praise for you."

Guo Lei's face changed color when he heard this. He felt Wei Chen's gaze looking over and smiled to himself: "This is really the best, I can rest assured."

The instructor glanced at Guo Lei and said solemnly: "Hand in the paper, you can go."

"Yes." Guo Lei hurriedly handed in the paper as instructed, and then left the examination room without looking back.

Wei Chen glanced at Guo Lei's hurried away figure, thoughtfully, and then looked away again, picked up the Five Classics question paper, and calmly started transcribing it again.

After all the transcriptions were completed, Wei Chen handed in the paper one step ahead of schedule. This scene was like a slap in the face of those growths who were gloating about their misfortune.

After returning home, Wei Chen talked about this matter with Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng. After hearing what happened to Wei Chen, they both became angry. Sheng Changfeng slapped the table and said: "Brother, it's obvious that Guo Lei is trying to frame you. Why don't you let me Find some people to catch him, put him in a sack, and throw him into the river to feed the fish!"

"You're so reckless, what do you look like!"

Sheng Changbai rebuked his younger brother and turned to look at Wei Chen: "I have met Guo Lei in the government school. He has always kept a low profile and has no courage to target you Xingyun. It is clear that someone is behind this matter."

Sheng Changbai paused, and then said: "Xingyun won the championship three times last year. He became a junior student in the academy at a young age. I don't know how many people were jealous. Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other. There are many jealous people in the academy. .”

"Ze Cheng is right, that's exactly what I think." Wei Chen nodded and said softly, "It's just that I don't have a clue who is behind it."

Sheng Changbai pondered for a moment and came up with an idea: "It's better to send someone to keep an eye on Guo Lei and follow the clues to find out who is behind it."

"Leave this matter to me!" Sheng Changfeng became interested after hearing this and hurriedly recommended himself.

"you?"

Sensing the suspicion in the tone of his two brothers, Sheng Changfeng's face became hot and he said with a guilty conscience: "I'm not the only one. In the worst case, I'll ask cousin Changwu for help. He's a local snake. It's not easy to just keep an eye on him. !”

"Changwu..."

Sheng Changbai thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, that's it."

Wei Chen has a close relationship with the Sheng family, so naturally he has heard of Sheng Chang.

Wu's name was just that Sheng Changwu liked to dance with guns and sticks and was away from home all day long. Wei Chen and him were only familiar with each other, and they didn't even exchange a few words.

However, since Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng offered to ask Sheng Changwu for help, Wei Chen naturally would not refuse, just in time to see what Sheng Changwu was capable of.

Two days later, the results of the annual examination will be announced.

More than [-] students from Fuxue and County Schools gathered in the Fuxue Academy. Jiangnan Academic Affairs Walrus Gan personally lectured in the hall: "This year's annual examination has disappointed me to the extreme. I have made up my mind to strictly control the situation." Style of study.”

Hearing what Walrus said, all the sentient beings present were shocked in their hearts, and they didn't know what kind of strict law this was.

Just listen to Walrus Gan's deep voice as he continues to announce: "For those who take the first-class examination at the age of [-], the epiphytes will supplement the growth, and the growth will supplement the lining. Those who are second- and third-class will not rise or fall. If the lings are below the second class, the rice supply will be stopped." ; Those of the fourth class will ask questions and issue orders, and they will be posted in the county academy."

Having said this, Walrus paused for a moment, glanced at the fearful students below, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a more serious tone: "Those who take the fifth-level examination at the age of [-] will change their t-shirts to green ones. Students; as for those in the sixth class, there is no need to stay in the academy anymore. They should be stripped of their reputation as scholars and go home!"

When the members of the public heard such severe punishment measures, they were all sweating profusely. They had long heard that Hai Xue was rigorous in politics, and it was indeed well-deserved.

That’s it for the rest. If you pass the sixth grade, you will really have finished it all, and the ten years of hard work will be in vain.

As for taking the boy's exam again?

Most people don't have that courage.

Wei Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart. If his roll was stained by ink, with Walrus Gan's upright character, he would definitely not give himself any special treatment and would be directly punished as a lower class.

At that time, Wei Chen was a little Sanyuan, and he was expelled from his academic title in his second year of school. If word spread, he would probably be laughed out of his mouth.

"Who wants to harm me?"

Wei Chen was puzzled. He didn't stay in the government school for more than a few days, so how could he make a grudge with others?

Is it true that someone who has never met him would do something like this that would ruin someone's future because of jealousy?

While Wei Chen was thinking wildly, Walrus Qian had already announced the list of three students who had passed the sixth grade exam. The three students immediately cried for their parents and begged Walrus Qian for forgiveness.

Walrus Gan was unmoved at all, and without saying a word, he had people pull them out.

Immediately afterwards, the students who had passed the fifth-level examination were stripped of their robes representing their distinguished status on the spot, and their faces were disgraced in front of everyone.

The other fourth-grade students and above saw this, and although they breathed a sigh of relief, they also broke into a cold sweat and secretly thought that they should not relax during the next annual exam, otherwise they would end up like this.

Walrus's efforts to scare the monkeys have already paid off.

Next, Walrus Gan read out the list of fourth-class students again, and Wei Chen's former classmate Chen Jun was among them.

Chen Jun's talent is much lower than that of Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai and others. In addition to Wei Chen's influence, Chen Jun's ability to pass the exam is also due to luck. Moreover, he just entered Youyang County School and could not pass the exam of those old students. This is also normal.

When Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai heard that Chen Jun was ranked fourth and was about to be announced, they both sighed: "I hope Brother Chen will not be discouraged and keep up the good work."

Their team was too far away from the team from Youyang County School, and they couldn't say hello to each other. They had to wait until after the game was over before they could get together again.

Next, the lists of third class, second class, and first class were read out from Walrus Gan's mouth in turn. There were only 36 people who passed the first class.

Wei Chen also heard the names of more acquaintances: Tao Dazhi was second class, Wang Yaochen, Weng Dingfan, and Tang Henian were all first class.

As for Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai, their stable performance this time is naturally first-rate.

Sheng Changbai took advantage of this opportunity to take the annual exam and got what he wanted. He was successfully promoted to a junior college student and could finally feel proud in front of his younger brother.

However, in this long list, Wei Chen also heard a name that was almost sealed in his memory.

"Sun Zhigao, can he also pass the third class?"

Chapter 112 surfaced

Wei Chen's first reaction when he heard that Sun Zhigao also passed the third-class exam was surprise. After all, in Wei Chen's mind, Sun Zhigao had always been an image of someone who was not doing his job properly and was just doing nothing.

But after thinking about it, Wei Chen was relieved. Sun Zhigao was already an old student after all. If he didn't even have this ability, he would have been deprived of his fame long ago, and he would not be able to stay in You safely until now. Yangxian County School.

Speaking of which, Sun Zhigao even gave Wei Chen a half-day lecture, but Wei Chen never paid him a homage and never regarded him as his teacher.

Ever since Sun Zhigao was dismissed from Shengshi Yixue, Wei Chen has never had any interaction with him.

If he hadn't heard his name from Walrus Gan's mouth this time, Wei Chen might have almost forgotten that there was such a famous person.

After the results of the annual examination were announced, the academic walruses left first, and more than [-] prefecture and county students also dispersed.

After coming out of Fuxue Academy, Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai met up with old friends such as Chen Jun and Tao Dazhi for a reunion.

Wei Chen, Chen Jun and Tao Dazhi were all old classmates of Sheng's Free School. Naturally, during the dinner, they couldn't help but talk about their time studying at Sheng's Free School.

Last year in the boy's examination, among the dozen candidates who came from Sheng's free school, three talents were selected at one go, and Wei Chen, a junior Sanyuan from Jiangning Prefecture who only got one in 50 years. Such an astonishing success rate made Sheng's Yi Xue became famous in Jiangning Mansion.

There was an endless stream of students who came to Sheng's Volunteer School to study. The threshold of Sheng's Volunteer School was almost broken. In the end, they had to raise the admission standards to barely survive this wave of registration.

Even so, the number of students enrolled at the end of last year was several times that of previous years, and the quality has also improved a lot. Of course, with it, there is also a shortage of teachers.

Originally, there was only one tutor, Lin Yan, and two sitting boys in the free school. Moreover, the level of these two sitting boys was not high enough. At most, they could only give Lin Yan a beating.

Although Lin Yan was a rare master, he was unable to cope with the more than [-] newly enrolled students and urgently needed someone to share the pressure for him.

It happened that Chen Jun was selected as a scholar and returned to Youyang to study. Sheng Wei set his sights on this outstanding alumnus and hired him with a large sum of money to serve as a tutor at Sheng's free school.

Chen Jun comes from a poor family and has no subsidy for junior students. Being admitted as a student member did not improve his life much. Naturally, he would be happy to get an extra salary as a teacher.

What's more, the pride of returning to the place where I studied to be a teacher is unparalleled.

Therefore, Chen Jun readily accepted Sheng Wei's invitation. Before coming to Jiangning Mansion to take the annual exam, Chen Jun had already attended free classes for more than a month. It was said that he was very popular among students. Even Lin Yan was impressed by Chen Jun's teachings. The teaching level is full of praise.

At the banquet, Wei Chen and others looked at Chen Jun, who was in high spirits when the matter was mentioned, and were filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, Chen Jun was still an introverted student who was too nervous to speak in front of academic administration, but now he has transformed into a teacher who can speak eloquently in front of dozens or hundreds of students.

Chen Jun drank a few glasses of wine, and the conversation became more and more intense. He talked about what he had learned in Youyang County, and as he talked, he talked about his former teacher Sun Zhigao.

Wei Chen enters Sheng

Before joining the Yi School, Chen Jun had already stayed in the Yi School for a year. At that time, Sun Zhigao was still the teacher of the Yi School. Therefore, Chen Jun had always treated him as a teacher.

After Chen Jun entered school, he studied with Sun Zhigao in Youyang County, and the two became classmates since then.

At the end of last year, Sun Zhigao heard from somewhere that Chen Jun was invited to be a tutor at Sheng's Free School, and then he began to target Chen Jun everywhere in the county school.

Relying on his status as a former teacher, he yelled at Chen Jun, almost treating Chen Jun as a domestic servant, which made Chen Jun lose face in front of other classmates.

Due to etiquette and law, Chen Jun could not argue with Sun Zhigao, so he had to hide and avoid whenever he could. If he couldn't avoid it, he could only swallow his anger and let Sun Zhigao drive him.

Therefore, Chen Jun had been holding back his anger for a long time and was depressed. This time, it was at a gathering of old friends that he finally vented his anger with the help of alcohol.

After hearing what happened to Chen Jun, the other people at the table were all very angry: "This Sun Zhigao's books have been read into the dog's belly. He is simply not a human teacher!"

Wei Chen also shook his head: "That's the extent of this person's mind and magnanimity."

Wei Chen suddenly thought of a question.

"Chen Jun had more or less a teacher-student relationship with Sun Zhigao. Sun Zhigao was too noble to tolerate him. I was the culprit who caused Sun Zhigao to be dismissed from the free school. Will Sun Zhigao bear grudges against me?"

Thinking of this and recalling the fact that someone instigated Guo Lei to frame him during the annual examination, Wei Chen felt more and more that Sun Zhigao was deeply suspicious.

At the banquet, several old friends had a hearty chat and left happily. When Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai returned home, they saw Sheng Changfeng running over happily, followed by his cousin Sheng Changwu.

Both are martial arts practitioners. Although Gu Tingye has a strong body, his steps are still light and agile.And Sheng Changwu may be a poor teacher, and he doesn't practice properly, and he has a tendency to develop into a fool. Sheng Changfeng stood next to his cousin, like a little chicken.

However, since Sheng Changwu can appear here, it means that there should be some clues about the tracking.

As Wei Chen expected, as soon as Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai entered the door, Sheng Changfeng said excitedly: "Two brothers, cousin Changwu and I have found clues about Guo Lei!"

When Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai heard this, they both turned their attention to Sheng Changwu who was not far away.

Sheng Changwu spoke and acted in a martial style, without any hesitation. After bowing his hands to the two of them, he went straight to the point:

"My people found out that Guo Lei's wife was seriously ill. In order to save her, Guo Lei borrowed usury money from Bai Deyan, the owner of Yulong Pawn Shop, with a principal of 20 taels, for a term of three months, and a monthly interest of five cents."

Sheng Changbai sighed and said: "This is as cruel as the pawn shop's nine out of ten returns. It shows that Guo Lei is also forced by life and has no choice."

Wei Chen said calmly: "Ze Cheng is right. This Guo Lei has extenuating circumstances, and a small punishment or a big warning is all. The person behind the scenes is the real culprit, and I will never let him go. "

After saying that, Wei Chen turned to look at Sheng Changwu and asked slowly: "What is the background of Bai Deyan, the owner of Yulong Pawn Shop?"

"Actually, this Yulong Pawnshop is the property of my Sheng family." Sheng Changwu mentioned this with a somewhat unnatural look on his face: "But when my eldest sister married into the Sun family, this pawnshop also came with her, and now the shopkeeper is in charge Bai Deyan is that grandma's nephew."

Sheng Changwu’s eldest sister?
