After the general examination, the examiners dispatched from all over the country started the all-night marking schedule. The hall of the Ministry of Rites was brightly lit almost every night, and there were constant traffic.

First, there is the primary election. This round is very fast, and most of the low-level officials are conducting it. They have to screen all the test papers in general. Those with stains, unsealed names and seat numbers, and damaged test papers will be thrown away directly. It's in the waste roll basket, but it can't be thrown away, in case there is something to check.

After this round, there are still some test papers that have been thrown away. Every time they see such discarded test papers, the officials will sigh and shake their heads. There are many good articles in these papers. It is a pity to throw them away. If you can't be careful, you deserve to be thrown away.

The remaining test papers were randomly divided into several groups and handed over to the marking officers of each group. Each group had multiple marking officers, and some excellent test papers would be selected in the end, and then handed over to higher-level marking officers for selection , and finally, the Minister of Rites will hand over the top ten papers to the emperor, and the final ranking will be determined by the emperor.

Emperor Chengwen looked at the ten papers in front of him with great interest, and asked Eunuch Yao: "Do you think there are any papers for my little brother?"

Eunuch Yao folded his hands and said with a smile, "I think there must be some."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was startled, when did His Majesty have a younger brother, and he even took the exam?If I knew it earlier, I would ask people to inquire more and pay more attention. If this is not successful, His Majesty may be angry.

Emperor Chengwen raised his eyelids to look at the Minister of Rites, then lowered his eyelids and said, "I won't read it, I have to avoid suspicion, you can take it away."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"I know what you're thinking, nonsense, the scientific examination is an important way to select talents for our dynasty, if this matter can be favoritism, how can we ensure that we select real talents, once the quality of the official team declines , our country is not far from extinction."

"The minister is at fault, and the minister is guilty!" The Minister of Rites hastily kowtowed and knelt down to plead guilty.

But the emperor didn't blame him, he just waved his hand and let him go down to do things.

Three days later, the ranking day.

This is probably the most exciting day in the entire capital except for the Chinese New Year. All candidates and common people will gather at the place where the Ministry of Rites releases the rankings. There is a huge group of people. It is almost impossible for those behind to see the imperial rankings. Sing loudly before the chart.

The person who sings the list starts from the last, and every time a name is called, there will be a scream in the crowd, and then there will be a small area of ​​cheering.

Tang Yi and the others waited anxiously behind. There were too many people this time, even if he was tall, he couldn't see his head.

Fortunately, the lung capacity of the people who sing the list is impressive, and every name and seat number can be pronounced clearly.After waiting for No.20, the first name they were waiting for appeared - Fu Zhongxing.

"Congratulations, brother Fu!" Friends congratulated Fu Zhongxing one after another, and Fu Zhongxing jumped up excitedly. This is No. 20 in the national ranking, how about Guangzong Yaozu!

Immediately after—

"No. 17 - Cui Zhong, seat No. 76 of the B-word examination room!"

"Congratulations Brother Cui!"

Cui Zhong let out a long breath, tears rolled in his eyes, his life was considered complete.

"No.5——Duan Yunfei, seat No. 21 of the examination room C!"

"Damn Duan, you're so fucking awesome!" Guo Chuxin screamed from the side.

"Yeah, how old are you this year, come and count..."

Everyone booed, Duan Yunfei staggered and almost fell, and the people around him cast envious glances. He is only fourteen or five years old, but he has already achieved such achievements, he can be called a child prodigy.

Then everyone was anxiously waiting for the last name, Tang Yi...

"No.1, Tang Yi, No. 32, examination room No. B!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Brother Tang!!!!!! Brother Tang!!!"

"No.1! No.1!"

Several friends uttered groundhog calls in unison, surrounded Tang Yi at the same time, lifted him up and abandoned him.

Tang Yi was also shocked and excited. He didn't expect that a dandy in this time and space would still have the experience of being the first in the country, and he still got the result in the civil service exam!

At a time like this, I really want to hug Wen Yan and kiss her——

But Wen Yan was caught in the wind a few nights ago and contracted the cold, and he hasn't fully recovered yet, so Tang Yi didn't let him come with him today.

At this point, the singing list was completely over. Those who passed the exam cheered and celebrated, while those who failed the exam were depressed and sad. Some even knelt down and cried, each with their own expressions.

As soon as the officials who sang the list left, Tang Yi and others immediately noticed a strange phenomenon. Many people ran away without knowing where they were going. Most of these people were candidates who had read their names before and were selected.

Guo Chuixin asked strangely: "Huh? Why are they going here?"

"Probably went home to announce the good news?" Fu Zhongxing scratched his head.

"It's possible, regardless of them, I want to see the imperial list with my own eyes, let's go." Tang Yi said excitedly, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't restrain his emotions at this time.

"Yes, yes, let's go, there are a lot of people scattered at the moment, let's take a look!" Several friends crowded Tang Yi to Huangbang.

Little did he know that he was being watched.

The people in front of the imperial list have almost dispersed. Tang Yi and the others found their names. They were talking happily when suddenly there was a scream not far from them. When they turned around, they saw a few people dressed as servants carrying He ran away with a big sack, and there were signs of violent struggle in the sack, which obviously contained a person!

"This...the blue sky and the white sun, under the emperor's list..." Guo Chuixin was half shocked and suddenly discovered something even weirder. The people around saw this situation not only did not shout to the police, but Whispering, even laughing.

"What's going on?" Several people looked at me and you, and they all felt incredible.

When they were wondering, suddenly a sack was placed under the hood, Tang Yi's eyes were dark, and he instinctively yelled to resist, and several friends panicked, and hurried to snatch them away, but before they could yell, one after another Under a sack, except for Guo Chuxin and Duan Yunfei, everyone was carried away!

Guo Chuixin yelled: "Tang Wen, go and tell your husband! I'll follow! Yunfei, report to the police!"

Tang Wen ran away as fast as he could, which was ruined, the master was kidnapped!

Duan Yunfei also hurried to Jingzhao Yin's residence.

Tang Yi felt baffled. He was still able to get away on the battlefield. Why was he tied up in a sack today? He was tall and strong, struggling hard, but there were about seven or eight people carrying him outside. All of them were very burly and couldn't move at all.

He also heard those people talking...

"This is really strong, the master must be satisfied!"

"It doesn't matter whether the master is satisfied or not. The key is that the young lady is satisfied. My young lady, she really despises ordinary scholars who dance with knives and guns all day long!"

"Don't say hey, this strength is great, and he is still so energetic after struggling all the way, why don't you hit him on the head?"

"You are crazy, what should you do if you are stupid, can it still work!"

"That's right, that's right..."

Tang Yi: "???"

Why do you feel like you're going to be kidnapped by a female bandit to be your husband?

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many turns, Tang Yi finally felt that he was let go.

Swish - the mouth of the sack was opened, Tang Yi narrowed his eyes, and looked around vigilantly.

Surrounding him were eight smiling burly men, all muscular and looking very difficult to deal with.

He is now in a well-decorated flower hall, and the air is filled with the scent of wood and ink, which is very refreshing.

Tang Yi asked, "Who are you, and what's wrong with me?"

A few big guys looked at me and I looked at you, inexplicably shaking their heads.

"Since there is no festival, why kidnap in the street?"

The big men stared wide-eyed and said, "Kidnapping? How can this be called kidnapping? It's stealing people!"

Tang Yi: "..."

Is the kidnapper out of his mind?

At this time, a person walked in from the door on the side, and a man who looked like a housekeeper lifted the curtain for a middle-aged man and said, "Sir, slow down, there are people inside."

Tang Yi turned his head, and when he saw the person, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Lu...Scholar Lu?"

Lu Chengjian slowed down and asked strangely, "You recognize me?"

Tang Yi nodded: "You will be the examiner for the student's rural examination."

Lu Chengjian grumbled and said, "You see, we are destined to be together, we should be a family!"

Tang Yi: "???"

Since the visitor is not a gangster, he can sit down and have a good talk. Only then did Tang Yi know that the Sheng Dynasty had the custom of catching son-in-law under the list. Keep staring, just wait until you see the candidate you like, and take him home with a sack to be a son-in-law!

Tang Yi: "..." Suddenly I knew why those candidates ran away after listening to the list...

Lu Chengjian sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, the girl in my family is already 23 years old. She has not been married yet. She is an old girl. It's not that she has any problems, but she is just like dancing with knives and guns, and also likes those things The general, said that the scholar is too weak, afraid of being accidentally strangled to death, I quarreled with her a few days ago, and I said in a fit of anger that if I can find a burly man and scholar, you will marry or not, she will immediately say yes!"

"I know she is angry, but I don't care, since she agrees, she has to marry!"

Tang Yi: "..."

"I'll call her out for a chat, don't worry, she's pretty good-looking." Lu Chengjian was about to call someone, but Tang Yi hurriedly stopped her.

"Stop, stop, Mr. Lu, I already have a family..."

"What?!" Lu Chengjian raised his voice twice: "Then why don't you run away after listening to the list!"

Tang Yi: "..."

I didn't know you would have such a custom, kidnapping people is against the law in our country, okay?

The two were staring at each other when they suddenly heard someone tell from outside the door: "My lord, there is a little brother outside who said that his husband was kidnapped and came looking for someone."
