Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

After the student yelled, the others came to their senses, hurriedly dodged a few steps away, and hurriedly opened the test box to check.

In fact, you don't need to look carefully to know that the situation in the test box is extremely bad!They themselves were splashed like rats, and the test boxes they carried on their backs or in their hands knew that they would not be able to escape being splashed with water.

In order to prevent rain during the exam, the students brought a whole piece of rain cloth in the exam box.But their raincloths were only gathered on one side of the luggage, and they were not spread out.

There is a student from an even more average family, and it is not easy to prepare things, including dry food, which is equivalent to being squeezed out of the mouth.

When the student saw the wet and smelly dry food in the test box, his eyes were red in an instant, and he was so angry that he pushed his sleeves, as if he was about to climb over the wall.

"You're blind! Someone is throwing water indiscriminately, I'll break your leg!" Jumping onto the wall, he scolded.The gentle scholar was forced to become a reckless man.

One person took the lead, and the others also raised the corners of their robes and turned towards the wall.

On the other side of the wall, the men who were splashing water threw away the dirty buckets and ran towards the other wall, trying to escape.

The bookish man in the lead blushed. He took off his shoes, threw the cloth shoes covered with mud at the few people inside the wall, and shouted angrily: "Don't run! What are you thieves doing splashing water in the middle of the night? Don’t even try to run away today!”

"That's right! Everything in our test box was splashed wet by you, and our whole body was also wet. We can't enter the Gongyuan, so don't try to run away!"

When the rules in the Tribute Court are strict, if the examiners see them rushing for the exam wet, they don't know whether they will be marked with the "disgraceful, poor" evaluation, and directly refute their right to send their exam papers into the exam room .

No matter how well the test papers are done and how brilliant the writing skills are, what is the use if they can't even send the papers to the examiners?

After ten years of studying hard in the cold window, once they were ruined by a few buckets of water, how could they not be angry?Not angry?

But they climbed over the wall and chased them, but those people tried their best to escape. Even because they were familiar with the terrain and often did physical work, these people ran fast without looking back, leaving only the desperate backs of the furious scholars!

As soon as the scholars climbed over the wall, a man from the owner's house ran out of the house holding a stick and questioned the scholars who broke into the yard in a mess.

"Hey! What are you guys doing? Running and making noise at my house at night!"

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, the poor student who was the first to climb up the wall sniffed and didn't answer the host's question. He lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I can't catch up with those splashing water..."

As he spoke, he rubbed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, obviously crying out of anger.But there was no other way but to wipe away the tears.

With the sound of sniffling forbearance, the friends of the poor scholar also felt gloomy, thinking that this is really unlucky, they might as well find a piece of tofu and kill them.

But as soon as the crying came out, it stopped immediately. The poor scholar's eyes widened, looking at the men who were rushing back.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, apparently unable to figure out why these people who had apparently run away came back again?But he couldn't care so much at the moment, he just gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

"Dare to come back? Even if I risk my life, I will catch a few and send you to prison!"

The scholars rushed up again in a swarm, surrounded them with Wang Zhuang and others who formed a siege, and caught five splashers.

The owner of the yard was dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of feng shui is in his yard today, and why such a thing happened.

Wu Di Nong was the first to be caught. He is no longer young, and he can't run away from the gangsters he specially recruited.After he was caught, he felt uneasy, a little afraid that the bastards would confess him.

He thought to himself, why is the matter different from what Xingniang said, she clearly said that she would run away after splashing the water, even if the man surnamed Jing brought two servants, he couldn't catch up.

But now there are nine or ten people gathered around, including those scholars!He remembered that when he went out, Jing only brought one servant with him!

Also, it's really weird that I escaped just now, but I was chased and couldn't run back.

Could it be that the other party...had already guessed that they would attack, so they prepared a second move?

Wu Di Nong's not-so-bright head turned his head quickly, but now his brain is useless no matter how fast he is.He was beaten and kicked by the furious scholars to vent their hatred.

Jing Xingzhi helped to catch someone, and with his wet hair under his eyes, he gave way to a few students.

Jing Xingzhi retreated two steps from the crowd, Wang Zhuang walked up to him, and whispered, "Mr. Xiaojing, everyone has rushed back."

"Play by ear." Jing Xingzhi nodded and quickly replied softly.

After Jing Xingzhi finished speaking, he bent down and opened his examination box to take a look.His test box was more carefully arranged, everything was tightly wrapped with cut oilcloth and oiled paper, and only water droplets accumulated at the bottom of the test box.

When Jing Xingzhi looked up again, the dark alley was already brightly lit and crowded with people.

The movement of arresting and beating people was so loud that all the servants from the Gongyuan ran over, not to mention that the students passing by here were all blocking the intersection, making it very lively.

After learning that Jing Xingzhi and others were killed by misfortune, the owner of the courtyard testified to the scholars—to prove that Jing Xingzhi and others were murdered in front of the yamen servants.

The problem of grooming can be solved, but the problem of things being spoiled in the test box is still there.

The dry food that was not wrapped tightly in oiled paper could not be eaten, and the changed clothes could not be used, the ink stick and pen tube were bumped, and the lamp oil in a student's test box sloshed out, and there was a smell in the test box...

The examinee from a poor family took a few dirty pancakes, and said heartbrokenly: "The pancakes my mother made for me were put on top, and the oiled paper was opened before I ate them before departure, and the oil paper was not sealed tightly. , I can't even eat it now..."

The friend beside him sighed and persuaded him: "Brother Gu, the lamp oil in my examination box has poured out, it's even worse. Let's go find any shops that still sell things, and make up for the broken and unusable things. Maybe we can catch up!"

"It's in the middle of the night? Where are there any shops! In the early years, there were hawkers selling things near the Gongyuan, but after strict investigations of cheating, even the hawkers were banned!" The student surnamed Gu said, his eyes were red again, and he said bitterly He kicked Wu Dinong's ass which was moving slowly.

"If that wasn't the case, how could we lose our elegance?" His friend was dejected, and also looked at the backs of Wu Denong and others with hatred.

Listening to the words of these scholars, Wu Dinong, who was bleeding from the nose after being beaten, lowered his head and smiled silently.

I told you to hit me, but it’s not like I can’t take the exam!

Xingniang's idea is really good, and she knows so much about the rural examination.Wu Dinong wiped his bleeding nose, tried to move his body, trying to shrink himself between the two of them.

But Jing Xingzhi, who had never hit anyone, suddenly moved.

He walked towards the yamen servants of Hanbei Prefecture who came over to deal with the accident, and said to one of the yamen servants who was wearing the clothes of the team leader: "My lord, the student is Jing Xingzhi from Huanshui Academy. The water-splashing thieves caught by us and a few righteous men are right Splashing water on the test boxes of me and a few dear friends, intentionally preventing the students from taking the test! Must be strictly investigated!"

Several scholars heard the words and said in a trembling voice: "Students, please strictly investigate the thieves!"

Huang Bantou is an old senior who just dawdled around, and he thought Jing Xingzhi's name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a while.

He frowned and said in a perfunctory manner: "Okay, don't worry, the scholars, we will definitely investigate." After he finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him, "Come here! Take these people away and go back for trial."

Huang Bantou patted his chest and said strict investigation, but he didn't ask a single question, and his attitude and words had a strong sense of disharmony.

The few scholars were not familiar with the officialdom, so they let Huang Bantou's arresters take them away.

But Jing Xingzhi's heart tightened, and he realized Huang Bantou's perfunctory.When he was in Hannan Mansion, he was almost everyone's favorite living treasure. Although he was killed for the sake of touching his head, he also gained a lot of experience.For example, he is very familiar with this kind of official accent.

Jing Xing took a step forward and grabbed Huang Bantou's arm.

Huang Bantou turned his head unhappily at being held back, "What's the matter?"

Jing Xingzhi smiled at him, stuffed two taels of silver in his hand, and said with a smile: "The student suspects that these people have a lot of background.

They must have been dissatisfied with Lord Shen's decree banning peddlers during the imperial examination period, and intentionally splashed our test boxes, trying to lure the students to ask for orders! "

During the rural examination period, several streets of Gongyuan are prohibited from going out to buy and sell. This can provide a good examination environment for Gongyuan, and at the same time, it can also kill the trend of selling fake examination papers.

Although the township examination only lasted for less than half a month, it could earn a lot of quick money during this period.Shen Fang made such a move, but it will affect the interests of some people.

The veteran Huang team turned around and fell into Jing Xingzhi's pit, believing Jing Xingzhi's nonsense reasons.

There is a huge difference between splashing wet the test boxes of a few students and deliberately disobeying the government's orders.

Huang Bantou thought that he might be able to take advantage of this to please the masters of Futai, and it would be very beautiful to change to Wang Street to collect tax money.

Moreover, Master Shen that Jing Xingzhi talked about also reminded Bantou Huang of Jing Xingzhi's background.

The master of the Futai was called by the master and went to Huanshui to solve the case. The disciple of the master was named Jing Xingzhi!

Huang Bantou loosened his frown and smiled at Jing Xingzhi: "Mr. Jing, thank you for reminding me! I will take him back first and report to Mr. Shen. I will ask you about the case after you finish the exam. Matters. Don't worry, I will greet these people well."

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'll go to the exam first." Jing Xingzhi was very satisfied with the ease of use of "Shen Fang".

Huang Bantou memorized the names of the inns where some scholars lived, and then kindly left a few yamen servants to escort Jing Xingzhi and others, while he himself took Wu Dinong and others back to the government office quickly.

This one sent people to the prison, while Jing Xingzhi turned his head to look at the five disheartened scholars who were about to go back to the inn, and said sincerely: "Brothers, my husband rented a room on the side of the Gongyuan." In the yard, I have prepared a lot of extra luggage for the exam. Let's go quickly, just in time to take a shower!"

The poor student happily asked, "Is it true?"

"Naturally."

"Xing Zhifu is too virtuous! To be so careful, he really saved us!"

"At first, I was thinking about passing the test of appearance. I didn't have any bags at hand, so I might as well not take the test. I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to do it!"

Jing Xingzhi smiled when he heard these words, quickened his pace, and rushed to the Gongyuan with a few people.

The yard was prepared secretly for safety, and only he, Liu Fang, and Wang Zhuang knew about it.Those extra test boxes were due to Liu Fang's dissatisfaction with Madam Hou, so he prepared seven or eight of them, but unexpectedly they used them.

Because of being escorted by the yamen servants, several groups of people on the road looked around, but finally retracted their heads.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Gong Yuan rang the bell and called the students of the rural examination one by one.

Jing Xingzhi and the five scholars caught up on the tail of the bell.After going through a lot of twists and turns, several people showed a look of determination.

As soon as Xingniang sent people to the government office, she went up to the tall building on the side of the tribute courtyard, and saw Jing Xingzhi and the five people dressed in new clothes and entering the tribute courtyard cleanly.

Her eyes were wide open, and her heart was in a mess...

No, how can I explain this to my wife!
