After scaring the two of them.

Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "If you are dishonest, I will not only take back that jade pendant, but before I take it back, I will make sure you experience what it means to be struck by five thunders."

"Don't, don't", Xue Pan hurriedly shook his head, saying that if he was hit by five thunders, even if he didn't die, he would still have to shed his skin.

Moreover, with such a worldly expert as his brother-in-law, only a fool would offend him.

He begged for mercy, "Don't worry, brother. I promise to be honest from now on. No, if you say go west, will you go east?"

Shi Zhongkui laughed and glanced at Jia Lian, who immediately trembled a few times.

Gan smiled and said, "Brother Xian doesn't know how to be a brother. Apart from drinking flower wine, I don't have any other bad hobbies."

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be true.

Jia Lian has a lot of shortcomings, one could even call him ruthless and unjust.

But it is true that he has never committed any crime or taken the initiative to kill anyone.

Or maybe I don’t have the guts to do it.

"You two had better be strict with your mouth, even my mother-in-law and second sister-in-law. Otherwise, one will know and the other will know. Will the benefit be given to you or to others?"

Jia Lian nodded immediately, this was too easy to understand, and he also thought that if he could learn one and a half moves in the future, he might be able to regain his glory and suppress Wang Xifeng.

Xue Pan hesitated for a few seconds, "Can't you even tell my sister?"

"idiot."

Shi Zhongkui slapped Xue Pan on the head, "If you weren't causing trouble every day, I would just give you a jade pendant or amulet for you to wear.

Not only the effect is the same, but there is no need to tell you the truth."

Xue Pan, when Jia Lian thought about it, it seemed that that was really the case.

The two cousins ​​chuckled, feeling thankful that Xue Pan was so reckless, otherwise he would not know anything about the Taoist Immortal by his side.

When the people outside the Gongyuan were almost gone in, Shi Zhongkui gave Xue Pan and Jia Lian another warning look with his eyes.

Under the eyes of the two people with assurances, he walked in carrying a book box.

Passing by the first search checkpoint, everything was quite normal, but when he arrived at the inner room where he needed to strip down for inspection, Shi Zhongkui felt a gaze staring at him with some malice as soon as he entered.

I sneered in my heart, it's not that easy to cheat on me.

When taking the government examination, college examination and rural examination, Shi Zhongkui came three times because Shuntian Mansion always used the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites.

I don’t know everything about Gongyuan, but I remember clearly the places I walked through along the way.

He raised his hands and saluted the curtain officer in charge of the inspection, "The student would like to pay homage to the Shinto official enshrined in Gongyuan first, so as not to hinder the priest's eyes by taking off his clothes."

This request is a bit special, but it is not excessive.

And it was just a matter of putting on the incense sticks, so this bit of face should still be given to Mr. Jie Yuangong, who won four yuan in a row.

After receiving permission, Shi Zhongkui did not delay, took the incense handed by a servant, lit it on the incense candle, and bowed to the priest enshrined in Gongyuan.

He immediately made the priest tremble a few times and hurriedly used his thoughts to convey his voice, "Good people, please don't pray again. If you have anything to do, please tell me."

Shi Zhongkui smiled, held up the incense, and said silently in his mind, "The priest is kind, the student is really helpless, I just ask the priest to give me a convenience, and protect the student from being plotted by villains.

As for the scientific examination, it all depends on the students’ own ability.”

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui just wanted to avoid being framed, the priest hurriedly replied, "That's right."

After saying that, he waved his hand and the officer who had a note hidden on his body and planned to frame him secretly suddenly felt dizzy.

Within three seconds, he staggered and fainted.

Of course, the priest did not help Shi Zhongkui expose the secret calculations of the servants. After all, the favor was only for the sake of Shi Zhongkui's meritorious service and there was no need to interfere with the fairness of the imperial examination.

As for what will happen to this Yamen servant in the future, that has nothing to do with him.

Shi Zhongkui didn't force it. After the trial, he would have plenty of ways to take revenge.

Moreover, by letting the Golden Mouse keep an eye on him, he will definitely be able to investigate all the way up, and finally find out who else wants to plot against him besides King Anle who plotted against him before something happened.

Someone fainted, and the curtain roller was startled at first.

Immediately, I became furious. This matter must be reported to the chief examiner and other deputy examiners, and files will definitely be left.

He waved his hand and asked someone to take the officer out.

Even if this person faints, he can't get out of the gate of Gongyuan.

I can only wait until the end of the trial.

If you die in the Gongyuan, make sure no one will attack the curtain officer.

Of course, it is still necessary to let a doctor take a look.

Lest anyone say he has no regard for human life.

With Shi Zhongkui's inexplicable request to worship a priest this time, everyone present could not help but become suspicious.

But there is no reason to explain this matter, so I can only keep my doubts in my heart.

On the other hand, the curtain rolling officer unexpectedly asked to check his clothes again and again, but this time it was not the yamen officers who came to check, but he himself and three officials with official status to check it in person.

And of course the result is no problem.

But what Shi Zhongkui didn't expect was that his prison cell would be arranged directly opposite the latrine.

He was so angry that he almost jumped.

Having passed the test four times, I certainly understood how powerful the poisonous gas was, and I was thankful that I was lucky at the time.

But now, it's clear that someone deliberately arranged themselves here.

The eighth-rank clerk of the Ministry of Rites, who brought him to the prison cell, looked at him with pity and urged him a few words. When he saw that he entered the prison cell conscientiously, he shook his head and left.

Then I took it as a joke and told the chief and deputy examiners and other colleagues.

All the officials were stunned when they heard this. Either this was extremely bad luck, or they were being targeted.

But this kind of trick will not work even if the emperor comes.

Fortunately, it is February and the weather is still very cold, so that can be considered comforting.

The Dazhou Examination is quite humane, with one day of exam and one day of rest. Moreover, at this moment, the candidates all know in their hearts that if they can avoid going to the hut, then they will definitely not go.

Otherwise, if someone goes there, the invigilator will leave a mark on the paper, which is equivalent to telling the principal and deputy examiner that this guy is suspected of cheating.

Therefore, it is true that the ancient imperial examinations were not based on knowledge alone.

Fortunately, even so, Shi Zhongkui is still confident in the policy he wrote.

The only trouble is that in order to change the target, the poems I wrote this time can only be said to be average.

Nine days and eight nights passed unknowingly. Shi Zhongkui walked out of the Gongyuan and felt that his whole body was rotten. He had no intention of talking to Xue Pan, Jia Lian and the many servants.

He saluted Yu Honggao, who had asked for leave to pick up Yu Tongfu, and apologized to Yu Honggao, who looked at him with a smile.

Yu Tongfu was full of gratitude, but he couldn't bear to express his gratitude directly in his eyes, so he hurriedly got into the carriage and went home directly.

However, he still remembered to let the golden-haired rat keep an eye on people.

When I got home, I washed myself inside and out, soaked in the big round tub for half an hour, put on my clothes and went out to breathe in the fresh air, and then I felt like I had come to life.

Then he saw Xue Pan and Jia Lian standing in the yard, waiting for him expectantly and anxiously.
