As time passed, Shen Ren's voice became hoarser and hoarser. The faces of the Minister of the Left's party became more and more unsightly.
Fang Yun didn't make any mistakes.
Everyone present knew how to answer the following questions, but it was difficult to finish in a short time. Therefore, they didn't need Notre-Dame's answer to judge whether it was right or wrong.
When Shen Ming finished reading the last question, the scene was silent.
Ao Huang laughed and said, "A group of rotten fish and shrimps. Do you think you can beat Fang Yun on a question with more than ten people against one? You're dreaming! Half an hour, yes, Quanjia. What else do you have to say? "
Yu Ba Chi sneered and said, "Thank you, Registrar Shen, for helping Fang Xusheng become famous and solidifying Fang Quanjia's Literary Name!"
"He is Fang Quanjia. It would be strange if he couldn't do it," Shen Ming said stubbornly.
Shen Ren said so on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. If Fang Yun answered a question incorrectly today, everyone would be able to continue to build momentum. When the news came out on March 17th, the effect would be doubled!
Ao Huang looked at Shen Ren contemptuously and said, "Registrar Shen, do you want to have another competition? After that, let's have a competition of poetry. "
Shen Ming said, "County Magistrate Fang is the ancestor of poetry. It's fine if we don't compete in poetry."
"You know your place! Bah! "Ao Huang spat at Shen Ming.
Everyone was stunned. Ao Huang was too bold. If a human scholar did this in the county examination, he would be punished by the Hall of Rites.
Shen Ren hurriedly dodged and glared at Ao Huang. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, I accidentally sneezed." Ao Huang turned his head. He looked at the sky.
Shen Ming said angrily, "Prince Huang, after the county examination, I will definitely report you!"
"Whatever! Fang Yun wants face. I don't want it. "Ao Huang actually hummed a tune and wagged his tail happily.
The group of officials felt a headache coming on. If Fang Yun were to do such a thing, they had countless methods to make Fang Yun's reputation suffer greatly. But facing Ao Huang, they had power but could not use it. A real dragon didn't need a Literary Name. Even if they reported him to the Hall of Rites, they couldn't do anything. At most, they could send a document to reprimand him...
Shen Ren turned to look at Fang and shouted, "County Magistrate Fang, he did such a rude thing. It's your fault for not being strict with your subordinates! "
Fang Yun glanced at Shen Ren indifferently and said, "Mr. Shen, you seem to have forgotten that I'm just a little county magistrate. I can't even use my power as a Duke-guarding Duke. How can I manage a prince? As a county registrar, he didn't know how to communicate with Ao Huang calmly. Instead, he yelled and screamed at the slightest insult. . read books.. is! "....
"You …".
Tao Dingnian said, "Don't be angry, Magistrate Shen. This is the county examination. We can talk about other things later."
Shen Ren shut his mouth resentfully. As a relative of the Prime Minister, he was used to being domineering in Ning An County. Since Fang Yun came, he wanted to use Ji Zhibai's plan to attack Fang Yun. If he succeeded, he could take credit for it. He would be promoted as a scholar and be conferred a low noble title.
Unfortunately. He failed every time. He even harmed Ji Zhibai once, making Ji Zhibai the laughingstock of the country to the laughingstock of the entire human race.
. Fang Yun stood up and said, "I'm going to inspect the examination."
After he finished speaking, Fang Yun left with Ao Huang and a few other officials.
Time passed slowly. It was noon. Fang Yun had a simple lunch with the officials and continued to invigilate the examination.
In the morning, most of the examinees were answering questions about the Holy Words. In the afternoon, they were answering questions about poems and songs.
At the beginning, the examination hall was calm. Starting from four in the afternoon, there was a continuous stream of talent aura.
Before the display ended, a total of five streams of talent qi appeared, and each of them was at the level of leaving the county.
Fang Yun sighed in his heart. Ning An County was indeed a big county. There were five county level poems in a very ordinary county examination. In contrast, in his hometown, Ji County, there might not even be a county level examination in two or three years.
When the time came, the bell rang. A strange force was released from outside the temple, preventing the examinees from answering.
"Wah …"
There were cries in the examination hall. Fang Yun shook his head. Many of the examinees were not even ten years old. It was not easy for them to finish the examination. If they felt that they did not answer well, it was normal for them to cry.
Tens of thousands of examinees got up from the examination room and appeared from all directions.
Most of the examinees did not look good. A few had tears on their faces. Only a few were calm and even had smiles on their faces.
After the examinees left, the officials began to collect the papers.
After dinner, everyone followed Fang Yun to the examination room.
When they reached the door, Fang Yun took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The examination room was very spacious. It was inlaid with night pearls. There were many tables neatly arranged with thick stacks of examination papers.
Smelling the rich ink, Fang Yun led the examinees to the statue of Confucius in the examination room. He stopped for a moment and bowed to the statue.
"We respectfully request the Holy Judgment!" Fang Yun said.
"We respectfully request the Holy Judgment!" Everyone else followed suit.
An invisible force swept past and orange colored talent aura appeared on all the examination papers.
Fang Yun quickly scanned and found that there were five papers with talent aura of one foot. The highest was one foot and three inches. There were more than a thousand papers with talent aura ranging from five inches to one foot.
Fang Yun nodded. This was the atmosphere of a big county. It was not something that Ji County could compare to.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew and a large number of papers were blown away. Only a small number of papers remained motionless in the wind.
Soon, a thousand papers were left on the table.
Fang Yun and the examiners had to rank the papers and admit the top 230 people.
They were judged by their talent and ranked by their literary works.
These thousand papers were determined by the talent aura formed by their poems. The ranking of the papers was determined by the grade of the Holy Speech.
If a person's poem was good enough to leave the county, but the Holy Speech was grade D, then he would be ranked outside the top 230 and would not be able to become a scholar.
As it was his first time being an examiner, Fang Yun was very careful. He reviewed the papers repeatedly and did not sleep at all.
On the morning of the 16th of March, the county examination results were released and the whole county was jubilant.
At night, Fang Yun invited the top 20 scholars and the local scholars to a banquet. No one dared to be rash. Instead, they were very careful and the banquet passed peacefully.
During the banquet, the scholars asked many questions and Fang Yun answered them one by one.
On the morning of the 17th of March, Fang Yun woke up as usual.
However, Ao Huang was very excited. Ever since Fang Yun woke up, she had been nagging beside Fang Yun.
This was because Fang Yun was going to give a lecture at the County Literature Institute to guide the scholars of Ning An County.
Fang Yun washed up as usual, ate as usual, and rested as usual.
Just as Fang Yun was about to leave the county yamen and head to the County Literature Institute, he received an urgent message from Fang Yingwu.
"Bad news! All the grain stores in Ning An County suddenly raised their prices today. They are two and a half times the normal price! "
Fang Yun was stunned. Just yesterday, the price of grain was 1.7 times the normal price. It was a very reasonable price. He did not expect it to rise so high this morning.
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the capital.
"I see. You have been preparing for this day for a long time! However, I don't believe that there are no loopholes! "
