Wang Xueqin turned his head and looked at him, and said with a dignified face: "I am not stingy with money, but my bottom line. If I give him the money, what exactly did I take the exam? What was the grand examination held by the Dayan Kingdom? Such a despicable method, we children who read the saints will not stop it, but will help them to be majestic. What is the law of nature? What is justice?"

The exam book was kind enough to mention a few words, but Wang Xueqin's face turned red and he was ashamed, and he couldn't say a word.

Sitting in the examination room, Wang Xueqin took a deep breath, expelled the anger in his heart, and thought to himself that once he passed the exam, he must meet the emperor and report the issue of the atmosphere in the examination room.

Ten days are not short, but not long. When Wang Xueqin walked out of it, he felt that his waist was really stiff. He stretched his waist and walked out the door with big strides. His eyes were bright and his expression was firm. He was more proud than when he first entered the exam room. He was confident that the papers he handed in would not exceed the top three!

Half a month left before the date of the announcement, Wang Xueqin used this half month to visit many scenic spots around the imperial city, and even made several friends, occasionally gathered to recite poems, and occasionally traveled with each other, making them happy.

Half a month passed quickly.

Huang Chengcheng's list was covered with a wall, and this time he received a total of 300 Jinshi.

Wang Xueqin came very early. He was very confident in himself. Even if he couldn't win the top scorer, he thought he would never go to the top three.

However, Wang Xueqin started from the first line of the first list and kept reading the complete list but didn't find his name.

Did I miss it?

Wang Xueqin's excitement cooled down a little bit. He looked at the first list again with a serious expression on his face. He felt that his beating heart was a little cold, and bad premonitions emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that I am too confident? Why don’t I have my name?

Wang Xueqin frowned in the middle with two black eyebrows. He pursed his lips and then looked at the list behind. The second list did not have his own name, and the third one did not...

Until he finished reading all five lists, Wang Xueqin felt his eyes hurt and his dizzy, but he still couldn't see his name.

I failed the exam?

Wang Xueqin stood in front of the crowded list, and the noisy sounds in his ears gradually faded, and the whole world seemed to be shaking in his mind.

Impossible, impossible...

Wang Xueqin had been squeezed out of the list by the scholars. He came to his senses and pulled others like crazy, and forced himself into the crowd. He stood in front of the huge city wall, his fingers trembled and passed each name, his face pale like a ghost.

Still no, still no my name!

Wang Xueqin stood in front of the imperial list in a daze, murmured and said, "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

Many people saw Wang Xueqin who was out of control, with sarcasm, ridicule, and scolding one after another. More people looked at him half indifferent and half sympathetic, and his eyes seemed to be saying, Look, there is a poor man who can't stand the blow after failing the exam.

When Wang Xueqin looked up, everyone's cold and sarcastic gazes were seen. He was caught by the huge disappointment. His mind was blank. His hands and feet were cold and his heart was full of panic. He seemed to have stepped into the endless black abyss in one step and no longer saw the sunshine.

"Young Master Xuan of Qing, congratulations to the top scorer in high school!"

"We have booked this restaurant! Congratulations to Mr. Xuan of Qing for his first high school title. He will surely make a bright future!"

“Hahahahahahahahaha…”

A large group of scholars rushed in from the most spacious restaurant in the imperial city. They talked loudly and were full of energy, wishing that everyone in the world would know them!

Wang Xueqin didn't know how he left the emperor's list. When his mind was awake again, his table was filled with bottles of wine. The wine was soaked, and the noise around him went straight into the sky. The people at the deskmate talked happily.

"Is your news accurate? How come the examiner has such courage? Aren't you afraid of being reported?"

Someone lowered his voice and said, "Those examiners are in a mess, who will report it? And who can really see the emperor expressing his grievances?"

"So, as stated, isn't the best scholar in the article the best?"

"Of course not! The father of a friend of mine is one of the examiners! There is a person named Wang Xueqin in the paper he reviewed. Several examiners who read the literary talent were praised and said they were the top scholar!"

"How come..." Speaking of this, the scholar lowered his voice and pointed to Young Master Xuan of Qing who was holding a banquet upstairs, "Why were he replaced?"

"I heard that Mr. Xuan of Qing was very famous. In fact, he was a fool. But before the exam started, he gave gifts to all the examiners, especially the three chief examiners. Tsk, the money was sent into their pockets like flowing water. Moreover, Mr. Xuan of Qing had a prominent family background, and many people were high-ranking officials in the court!"

"That's a big wonder..."

"What a pity that Wang Xueqin..."

"What a pity? I heard that guy didn't give gifts to the examiner before the exam started! The examiner was standing in front of him, and he dared to give the examiner a cold face. How could he not be humiliated!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Amid the sighs, Wang Xueqin, who was originally depressed, was stunned for a moment. He suddenly stood up from the chair, and his eyes were red, asking, "What are you talking about?!"

Hurry!

Wang Xueqin was too strong to hit the table, and pots spilled all over the floor, making a loud noise.

The scholars who were originally talking about those rumors in a low voice were startled and jumped up from the table. Several people were still filled with soup and immediately became angry: "What are you crazy, you drunkard?!"

Wang Xueqin rushed towards this man: "I ask you! Are you saying true?! I was replaced by someone, right?! Those dog officials not only accepted bribes and abused the law, but they also dared to do such despicable things under the will of the world!"

Wang Xueqin was swept over his reason by the huge anger, and he was so drunk that he dared to say anything. He roared angrily, and he roared out of the person!

"Is this Wang Xueqin?"

"It's over, let's go!"

The scholars realized that the drunken drunkard beside them was actually Wang Xueqin, who was in a dark corner. In a shock, they winked each other, broke free from Wang Xueqin's shackles, and hurried out to the restaurant.

"Don't leave, stop! I'm going to go to court with you! I'm going to meet the emperor!" Wang Xueqin drank too much wine. Even though he felt angry in his heart, his body staggered, unable to control those people at all, and watched them run away.

Thinking of the group of dog officials and top scholars above the restaurant, Wang Xueqin's eyes were full of anger, and he walked upstairs drunk: "Dog official, please give me my articles, you group of beasts who are in love with me, I want to seek justice!"

"Stop! Who are you? You dare to act wildly at the banquet of the top scholar?" Someone guarded the stairs on the second floor, and pressed down Wang Xueqin who was about to rush up.

Wang Xueqin raised his head, his hair scattered on his forehead and cheeks, his eyes became more and more terrifying by the smell of anger and alcohol. He heard himself say, "I want to meet the examiner, I want...I want to congratulate the top scholar!"

"Forget it, you drunkard, go away, don't ruin the interest of the adults!" The officers and soldiers refused to give in, and even began to push Wang Xueqin, wanting to pull him away from this position.

"Let me go! I want to meet the examiner! I have something to ask him!" Wang Xueqin grabbed the railing tightly, and he broke free from the hands of the officers and soldiers and climbed to the second floor.

"A stinky crazy man! Is it shameless?!"

Many people watched Wang Xueqin's trouble, and the officers and soldiers were afraid of taking responsibility, so they started to take action more and more.

"What's the matter?" The group walked downstairs with laughter, one more prouder than the other.

Wang Xueqin looked up suddenly. The examiner Chen Weimin, whom he had seen, was right in front of the group. A young man in his early twenties was by his side. He had a fair face and a arrogant expression. His eyes looked at Wang Xueqin with a hint of sarcasm.

"It's you!" Wang Xueqin gritted his teeth and shouted at the examiner Chen Weimin, "You are such an official? You accept bribes and be corrupt and abuse the law! The emperor asked you to select talents for the country, but you are just seeking benefits for yourself! And you!"

Wang Xueqin looked straight at the young man: "It is a waste of money to steal fame! Everyone can kill the worms of your country!"

Wang Xueqin's voice was loud and his words were all gems. Everyone in the restaurant heard it clearly. The examiner, Qing Xuan and others who spoke blushed!

The officers and soldiers were scared and kept stopping and not letting them say anything, but they didn't know where the scholar got such great strength. They broke free from their blocking several times, and even almost rushed up!

"Absurd, absurd! Slandering the imperial officials so much, drag him down and beat him hard!" The examiner Chen Weimin was so angry that his whole body shivered and said to the servants beside him, "Are you all deaf? Go and beat me!"

Bang bang bang bang!

After several punches and feet, Wang Xueqin finally couldn't grasp the railing beside him. He snorted and was dragged out. He looked fierce and still cursed: "People are doing things and God is watching! You group of worms that harm the country and the people, give me justice!"

"Blow me hard!" Chen Weimin's face turned red, and his eyes looked particularly scary when he looked at Wang Xueqin.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry about a madman drunkard. I think he was hit hard after the exam and was not clear about his mind. Let's not be damaged. Let's go, Miss Liu has already held a banquet in Qingfang Pavilion to wait for us. Don't let the beauty wait."

"Yes, yes, why should you be angry at this ridiculous accusation? The pure one will be clear!"

"We believe in Lord!"

Chen Weimin's face was gloomy, but he didn't want to get angry in front of so many scholars, so he could only pretend to be perfunctory. When he left the door, he winked at the people who were following him. The man saw the murderous intent in Chen Weimin's eyes, nodded, and left with the person who was dragging Wang Xueqin.

...

Wang Xueqin was dragged into an alley far away from the restaurant, and fisted and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. His body was broken, his body was blue and purple, and there was no place intact. He gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but he made a little move and beat him again!

The night was smooth, and the streets not far away were brightly lit. Countless pedestrians walked by. They saw everything that happened in the alley, but no one dared to come forward and say justice. The dizzy lights came in from the entrance of the alley, illuminating Wang Xueqin's dirty body.

"stop!"

A crisp female voice came, and the four officers and soldiers who were excited by Wang Xueqin were stunned and turned to look.

An exquisite carriage slowly drove into the narrow alley, and barely stopped in front of everyone, covering up the light coming from outside, and the quiet fragrance instantly lingered in the tip of his nose.

"It seems to be Liu Huagu's car." A sharp-eyed officer and soldier saw the marks on the carriage and said hesitantly.

"Aren't the adults going to go to the venue to celebrate the courtesans of Willow tonight? Why is she here?"
