After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the county examination. Mingjia had asked Mrs. Yan to stew the chicken soup early and put it in a crock pot to warm. Optimizing the time, Mingjia and Li Hansheng took a carriage to meet his brother at the gate of Gongyuan.

Although Ming Jun stayed in the Gongyuan for three days, he still seemed to be in good condition. Mainly because of contrast, most of the other candidates around me described themselves as haggard and listless. Compared with Mingjun like this, he is simply full of energy.

Mingjun knew that his sister would be waiting for him at the gate of Gongyuan. When he heard the gong sounding to let him out, Mingjun picked up his bamboo basket and walked out quickly.

The weather in June is already very hot. The candidates in Gongyuan are afraid of water getting their exam papers wet. They go to a fixed venue every day to get some water for washing their faces and hands, but only for washing their faces and hands.

This made Mingjun, who was used to bathing every day, very uncomfortable. Moreover, the space in the Gongyuan was narrow, and Mingjun was surrounded by scholars, and the smell on everyone's body was very unpleasant.

At this time, Mingjun was very lucky that his exam room location was not next to the so-called bad number.

When Li Hansheng and Ming Jia arrived at the Gongyuan, Aman and Shisan were already waiting at the gate of the Gongyuan. They were very surprised to see the Duke of Guo and Master Mingjia coming together, but they also felt a sense of relief.

There are so many people coming to pick up candidates at the gate of Gongyuan. There are all kinds of transportation, including horse-drawn carriages, bullock carts, donkey carts, and even flatbed trucks. Many people are worried about their children because they will lose strength during the three-day exam. Indeed, many scholars were helped out by government officials.

Mingjia felt that his carriage should not go too far in, otherwise it would be inconvenient to get out. And Mingjia felt that her brother's physical condition should not be so bad.

Even if my brother is a little weak, he can just ask Aman or Uncle Thirteen to help him.

Mingjun walked out and glanced around the crowd. The first thing he saw was the tall Li Hansheng. He was stunned for a moment and repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed Uncle Li.

Then Mingjun discovered that there was a small figure beside Uncle Li that was somewhat obscured. Mingjun didn't need to see clearly to confirm that it was his sister Mingjia.

Mingjun ran in that direction quickly and even trotted, and Li Hansheng also spotted Mingjun immediately. Li Hansheng stretched out his hand to point out the direction to Thirteen and Fourteen. Thirteen immediately ran over and took Mingjun's bamboo basket.

After getting on the carriage, Mingjia fed Granny Yan chicken soup for several hours in advance, and quickly poured a bowl for her brother, so that he could drink a bowl quickly to replenish his strength.

On the way back to the village, everyone was chatting about other things in a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned Mingjun's county examination situation. Both Li Hansheng and Ming Jia felt that since the exam had been completed, there was no need to add psychological pressure to Mingjun.

In the end, it was Mingjun who couldn't help but mention the county examination first. Mingjun looked at Uncle Li, then at his sister, and finally spoke with some difficulty.

"I looked at the questions and felt that I would have no problem passing the exam, so I did something big."

Li Hansheng didn't understand Mingjun's meaning for a while, but Mingjia suddenly figured it out and looked at his brother with wide eyes, "Brother! Are you controlling your points?"

Although this was the first time Ming Jun heard the word "control points", he understood what it meant after a little thought. Mingjun replied to Mingjia with a "Sure enough, my sister understands me" expression.

"Since Xie Jin has been paying so much attention to Qingyun County and the Xiao family, if I rank very high in the exam, someone will definitely spread the word. I don't need the title of genius or prodigy. I just need to pass the county exam. That’s fine.”

Ming Jia has only one thought in her mind right now, "Sure enough, top academics are not scary. What is scary are top academics who know how to control their scores."

Li Hansheng was not a liberal arts student and had never taken an imperial examination, but he also knew the importance of each imperial examination score to a scholar. Every autumn in the capital, there were gambling games, and there were many small Sanyuan from various states who were able to get on the gambling table.

But now, at such a young age, Mingjun actually lowered his grades to avoid some risks. Li Hansheng reached out and patted Mingjun on the shoulder to comfort Mingjun.

"Mingjun, don't worry, Uncle Li will definitely catch this bastard like Xie Jin before you take the provincial examination." When he said this, Li Hansheng's whole aura changed instantly.

In fact, Mingjun didn't think this was a very important loss. Mingjun's mentality had always been influenced by his sister Mingjia. There were quotas for the imperial examination, so he could just pass it.

Seeing how angry Uncle Li was, Ming Jun instead spoke out to comfort Uncle Li: "Anyway, I am only thirteen years old. I will go back to Sichuan to continue studying with my master for the college entrance examination. I will not take the imperial examination in the next few years."

In recent years, child prodigies have appeared in many places. It is nothing new for a thirteen-year-old child to be born in Daliang. There are also scholars who are thirteen or fourteen years old, and I even heard that the head of the Ganzhou Academy Examination was a fourteen-year-old boy.

However, the performance of these prodigies in subsequent imperial examinations was unsatisfactory. Therefore, Mingjun has no psychological burden at all for hiding his clumsiness this time.

On the contrary, if Ming Jun had taken the imperial examination when he was young, even if his grades were slightly worse, it would not have much impact on his future imperial examinations, and after all, his master was Xie Boyuan.

Mingjia was really looking forward to her brother's ranking, but her brother decided to hide his weakness and it was wise not to attract attention.

Mingjia noticed that the carriage was suddenly quiet and quickly changed the subject, "Brother, are you going to give some lessons to the children in the village school tomorrow?"

Mingjia changed the topic very successfully, and several people in the carriage turned their attention to the village school in Tianjiacun and the children who studied in the village school over the years.

Li Hansheng asked Emperor Liang for a total of fifteen days of leave, and it took five days on the way to Qingyun County. He also had to reserve time to return to Beijing, so he could not stay in Qingyun County for a few days.

Mingjun went to teach the children in the village school, and Mingjia followed him out of curiosity.

Li Hansheng took advantage of this time to quickly meet the people he left behind and also meet the people under Lao Lu. Li Hansheng needs to sort out everything now, and then give some guidance on the direction of the investigation and bring some evidence back to the capital.

Li Hansheng and Mingjia talked about this matter. Faced with such a big matter, Mingjia couldn't pretend to know anything. Mingjia's speculation itself vaguely pointed to some team problems before the founding of the dynasty.

Mingjia is just guessing and imagining these things! But to Li Hansheng, it was completely different. Xie Boyuan had talked about many things with Li Hansheng. Xie Boyuan had already made speculations, but Xie Boyuan could not find any evidence.

If this matter is really as Ming Jia guessed, then the Xie family must prepare for the separation immediately. Now I can't wait for Xie Boyuan to receive the letter and then write to the head of the Xie family.

Li Hansheng decided to return to the capital with the evidence and directly knock on the door of the Xie family.
