The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Lin Zhao's curly face is clean, and his handwriting is strong and powerful, which has made great progress compared to the soft handwriting at the beginning.

And the most applauded by everyone is the answer he wrote.The test questions of this big test are the same as those of the imperial examination, which include poetry writing and policy theory.

Lin Zhao's poems and essays this time are better than those in previous exams. It can be seen that compared with the previous level, there has been an earth-shaking change, and the progress is quite obvious.

In the past, poetry and prose were his weak areas, so his overall grades would always be a little bit worse. This time, poetry and prose caught up, and his grades directly jumped to the first place.

And his strategy theory has always been well written, this time it is a stable performance, so it is normal to take the first place.

Shi Maocai also heard about this, and went to the bulletin board to read Lin Zhao's answer sheet. It was indeed perfect.Moreover, he wrote this policy very pragmatically. Although there is no gorgeous rhetoric, he is very organized in his exposition, which is very brilliant in the eyes of the masters of the academy.

Shi Maocai clenched his clenched fists, he sneered in his heart, if he had known the questions of the test paper in advance and prepared, then such a good essay would be nothing.

Because several of them jointly approached the head of the mountain before, the head of the mountain had to deal with the matter on the bright side, so he had Lin Zhao's answer sheet posted.

I hope that old students can reflect on why their answers are not good after seeing such an excellent answer sheet.Moreover, this answer sheet can explain a lot of problems, reflecting that Lin Zhao has a solid literary background, so that these old students should not just stare at a new student all day long, envious and jealous, and stop moving forward.

The head of the mountain is actually on Lin Zhao's side. He knows very well whether the test questions have been leaked this time, so he hopes that Shi Maocai and the others can stop clinging to this matter, and instead calm down and study hard.

However, Shi Maocai would not let it go. Although the matter was reported to the head of the mountain, he saw the answer to Lin Zhao's test paper posted in the afternoon, so he knew that the head of the mountain did not believe what they reported. himself.

……

Two days later, Lin Zhao found that while he was eating, someone was always pointing and pointing at him, their eyes averted, and he didn't know what they were talking about.

Chen Mian also found out that he usually likes to talk and has a lot of contacts, so he went out to inquire quietly, and when he came back he was very angry and slammed the door into the dormitory.

Seeing his angry look, Lin Zhao asked, "What's the matter, who messed with you again? Be so angry."

Chen Mian sat down and took a sip of tea to relax, "It's not me, it's you!"

"Me? I don't have anything to mess with you, do I?"

"Oh no, I mean it's you who has something to do!"

Lin Zhao didn't answer, but looked at him, apparently waiting for his next words.

"Don't you think the people around you look weird these two days? I went out to inquire just now, and I don't know which group of grandsons spread the word outside, saying that you got No.1 in the big test by cheating Yes, I also said that you answered the questions so well because you read the questions in advance. Those few people who have a good relationship with me usually speak in a more tactful way, and others may say what to say about you behind their backs!"

After listening to Chen Mian's words, Lin Zhao frowned and sat in front of the table, whether this matter was too big or too small.To put it mildly, this matter is just a gossip among the students of the academy, which cannot be made public.

When he grows up, he is a scholar, and the most important thing for a scholar is his reputation. Even if this story is false, three people can become tigers, spreading rumors, and those who don't know why will believe it after hearing too much.He still needs to study in the academy for two years, which is very bad for his interpersonal relationship.

"Can you find out who sent it?"

"No, anyway, it was spread like this all of a sudden, and no one knows who first spread it."

Yang Su said: "It's strange that we can't find the source. However, it's not certain that this incident was caused by someone who was jealous of the third brother who got the first place in the exam this time. This person may not be able to find it for a while. The most important thing now is to think about what to do, we can’t let them keep talking like this, the most important thing is to think about how to restore their reputation.”

Lin Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing. In fact, he already has someone he is suspicious of. They are all classmates in the same academy. He has only been here for more than a month. If there is no grudge against him, then this jealousy is too much Stronger.But if Shi Mao is talented, then everything makes sense.

Shi Maocai, judging from his dealings with him, is extremely small-minded and narrow-minded. Besides, he was humiliated so much last time, so he must be extremely resentful towards him.

"Third brother, you are so smart, hurry up and think of a way to make these rumors disappear quickly!"

Chen Mian looked anxious, but he had already realized something in his heart.He was very happy after the exam before, and he mentioned it to others, saying that it was thanks to Lin Zhao who bet on the questions for him, and maybe this matter was to damage it.It's all his fault for talking too much, saying something is not good, but insisting on saying this, now it's better, and the roommate who caused it was slandered.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty, and finally said aggrievedly: "Third brother, there is something I want to tell you."

Lin Zhao was thinking about something, when he heard him say this, he looked up at him, "What's the matter?"

"That's, when we just finished the big test, didn't you bet on me a lot of questions? I got carried away for a while, so I mentioned it to someone in the same test room. Maybe, maybe it was rumored that you The leaking and cheating is because of this..."

"Third brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know that things would develop like this. I really just said something casually at the time, but now you are said to be like this..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter is none of your business. I probably know who did it. Even if you didn't say so, he would find him." You don’t have to take anything else to heart when you point me at me.”

Chen Mian was surprised, "Huh? Do you know who did it?"

Yang Su didn't speak just now, he was also thinking about this issue just now, and now he said: "The third brother has always been diligent, polite to others, and has a certain degree of advance and retreat. Think about it carefully, the only person in the academy who has a problem with him is Shi Maocai. .”

"It's him again? This son of a bitch, didn't he have a long memory when he lost to you last time? How long has it been since then and another moth has appeared?"

This was said to Lin Zhao, and when he learned that it was Shi Mao's good deed, Chen Mian felt a lot less ashamed and relieved a lot.But after thinking about it, didn't my words give the other party a handle, and I started to worry again.

"Third brother, what are you going to do now? Hurry up and think of a way to let this bitch get a good memory!"

Yang Su said: "If you can't, tell the masters, let the masters find out this matter, and return your innocence."

Lin Zhao shook his head, "No way. We don't have any evidence to prove that those rumors were released by Shi Maocai. If we rush to find Master, we may not be able to find anything, and we will let it go."

"It's true." Chen Mian looked at Lin Zhao, wanting to hear what he could do.

"Don't worry about him, just wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for him to jump out on his own initiative."

"What do you mean? As for that guy Shi Maocai, he will take the initiative to admit that he did it?"

"Of course not. But the rumors he released must not only be as simple as slandering my reputation, this level can't satisfy him at all. Let's not intervene in this matter, wait and see what happens. This rumor has been spread for a few times. Damn, he shouldn't be able to sit still."

Seeing Lin Zhao's calmness, Chen Mian really admired him from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know whether to say he was steady or big-hearted.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But if necessary, brother Yang and I will be at your command anytime."

"Okay, thank you."

Just as Lin Zhao thought, just spreading rumors was not Shi Maocai's ultimate goal at all.

This morning, it was supposed to be the time for the morning class, but only a few people came to the class.

The masters went out to see, it turned out that Shi Maocai led a group of old students to strike.

At this time, outside the room where the masters used to work, a group of people held signs to denounce, and the leader was Shi Maocai.

"Shi Maocai, what are you doing? Are you bringing the students together to make trouble? Why don't you hurry back to class!" one of the masters reprimanded.

Shi Maocai wouldn't listen to him, he crossed his arms and said: "Master Zeng, don't say that, we are not gathering a crowd to make trouble, don't give us a high hat, we are obviously seeking justice. Everyone said is not it?"

The students around immediately responded, "That's it!"

A few brave ones even said a few more words, "Master, we just want a fair and just, don't say it so seriously."

"Isn't that right? Some people won the first place by cheating, but the head of the mountain didn't care about it. We can only seek justice in this way."

Mrs. Zeng was getting old, and after hearing what these people said, his beard trembled three times, "You, what are you talking about! What kind of cheating? You are envious and jealous when you get the first place? Why don't you think carefully if you have this skill? Thinking about writing poems, essays, scriptures, and policy theories? Spending more time on learning is more useful than anything else!"

"Master, that's not what you said. You've exhausted all the good things, so we can only follow our own way! You can't control this matter, please ask the head of the mountain to come over!"

All the old students who followed Shi Maocai on strike were old students. After a few days, the rumors became more and more intense, especially among the old students, which had aroused an invisible anger.

Shi Maocai saw that the heat was almost ready, so he proposed to seek justice from the head of the mountain, and not let this kind of atmosphere of leaking questions and cheating be encouraged.

With the rumors of rumors in the past few days, many people agreed to come with him after he said so, which is why today's class strike happened.

He had planned everything. As long as they killed Lin Zhao for cheating, the masters would have nothing to do, and Lin Zhao would have no way of proving that he hadn't cheated.How could one mouth of his be better than dozens or hundreds of mouths? The bigger this incident became, the worse Lin Zhao's reputation would be.

Dawei attaches great importance to the character of scholars, no matter how good you are in reading, if someone reports and proves that you have a problem with your character, you will still fail the ranking.

Shi Maocai's plan was very good, he finally caught such an opportunity, he must firmly grasp it.Besides, Chen Mian said that Lin Zhao had bet [-]% of the questions for him. Isn't this a leak?In Shi Maocai's mind, this is where he has the most confidence, because he firmly believes that Lin Zhao must have read the questions in advance, otherwise it would be impossible to bet so accurately.

The students are the most indignant about things like leaking questions.Some old students who didn't know the truth came along after hearing what they said.Just a little encouragement like this, but Shi Maocai encouraged many people.

Mrs. Zeng can't help it, what he said doesn't work at all, in this case, the only way is to ask the head of the mountain to come forward.

Faced with such a large student protest, Shan Chang rushed over as soon as he received the news.

After all, the head of the mountain is a person who has experienced things, and his attitude is not very strict. He has already heard about the reason for the trouble on the way here. After all, they are old students who suspect that Lin Zhao cheated on the questions. up.

In fact, he has heard some gossips in the academy these two days, but they are all speculations without real evidence, and the students are secretly talking about it. He just warned a few words in class, to the effect that the scholars You should not gossip like a gossip, but be diligent and diligent in learning.

But looking at the situation today, I'm afraid these students didn't pay attention to what he said, but just ignored it. .

Seeing the head of the mountain came, the old students below suddenly became lively and said: "Head of the mountain, you can't be biased. Since some people say that Lin Zhao cheated on the test, it must be groundless. You should find out and give us justice. , and give justice to others!"

"Yes, Master Shan, if this matter is true, you should drive him out of the academy immediately, lest he spoil the style of study in our academy!"

"Exactly! Drive out of the academy, drive out of the academy, drive out of the academy..."

The people below didn't know who took the lead in shouting, and there were bursts of noise for a while.

The head of the mountain raised his hand and said, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

The bustling noise below gradually died down, and after the uneven voices were lowered, they slowly quieted down.

The head of the mountain said: "Okay, since you have doubts in your heart, let's invite Lin Zhao to come over and prove to everyone whether he has cheated or not."

"how to prove?"

"I've heard all about it just now. You think he saw the questions in advance, so he got the first place because of the preparations in advance. Well, this time, I will invite a few masters to present the questions on the spot, and you will answer them on the spot. Let's see How is the result?"

"This……"

"With so many people watching, it's impossible for him to see the questions in advance, right? If a person has real talents, he can answer well no matter what set of test questions it is. Why, dare not? Are you guilty? "

When the head of the mountain was so excited, the old students below said without waiting for Shi Maocai, the initiator, to express his opinion: "There is nothing to be afraid of, just do as the head of the mountain said! If he can still answer so well, it means that we have been wronged." Him! We will apologize to him!"

The head of the mountain nodded, "Okay, then it's settled. Mr. Zeng, now you call all the masters in the class to come back to write the questions. The difficulty of the questions is comparable to that of the big test. Let the news go, the academy will release the test today. One day off. In addition, send someone to call Lin Zhao over."

The students below agreed very quickly, and Shi Maocai had no time to stop him. His eyebrows twitched, and he always had a bad feeling that things had deviated from the track he expected in advance.

He originally wanted to use this matter to put pressure on the head of the mountain. The head of the mountain usually smiles and is the best at being gentle. For his uncle's sake, he said a few words to calm down everyone's emotions. It's over.This also confirmed the fact that Lin Zhao cheated on the exam.

Unexpectedly, the old man's approach was unexpected. He figured out a way to re-create the question and answer it on the spot. He would rather spend so much trouble than stand on his side and say a few words towards him.

The most important thing is that these people he encouraged all agreed to the proposal of the head of the mountain.

However, Shi Maocai didn't think about it at all. If the head of the mountain was willing to give his uncle face, he wouldn't have turned a blind eye the first time he asked the head of the mountain to report Lin Zhao for cheating.It was only because he didn't want to meddle in other people's business and wanted to settle things down early that he didn't deal with Lin Zhao's cheating.

The person who sent the message is the assistant around the masters, and usually manages some chores.After getting the order from the head of the mountain, hurry down to pass on the message.

Most of the students were very happy when the academy suddenly had a day off. For them, as long as they didn't go to class, they would be happy no matter what.
