The mansion examination ended like this, and the results will be released next. Yang Cong is a little looking forward to the results of the mansion examination this time.

However, he was not in a hurry to know whether he was on the list. He was still very sure of passing the imperial examination. What he cared about was the ranking of the imperial examination, because he had already won the county examination. If he got another imperial examination, he would be one step away from Xiao Sanyuan.

What scholars talk about these days is not official positions, but fame. At least most scholars are like this.

Because there are only so many scholars who can pass the imperial examination, and only so many scholars can become officials. At least 90% of scholars have no connection with the officialdom. What kind of officials have nothing to do with them? However, Jieyuan, Huiyuan, Zhuangyuan, Little Sanyuan, Big Sanyuan, etc. are the most highly praised by scholars. As for the reason, it is probably because things are rare and precious.

Like Jie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Top Principal can only be produced in three years. Small three yuan, big three yuan is even more amazing. One may not be produced in three or even thirty years. As for the peak of the imperial examination, it won six yuan in a row. There was only one in the Ming Dynasty and even since the imperial examination, and this one was Huang Guan, the top prize in the Xinwei examination in the 24th year of Hongwu.

Huang Guan is famous in history and will always be remembered. Although he stood in the wrong side in the Jingnan Battle and was killed by nine clans, he still cannot change his "successful six yuan in a row" as the most eternal one.

Yang Cong hadn't thought about becoming famous in history yet. He just wanted to gain fame as a little Sanyuan. Fame is a good thing these days, and scholars recognize it.

For example, Tang Bohu had a Jie Yuan, and his reputation was so great. If he hadn't been too arrogant, he would have probably ranked first and reached the top, which would have been better than anything else.

Of course, this reputation is not omnipotent. The key is whether you have the ability. It is naturally the best to be able to win the title of a small three-yuan. In the future, your journey to the imperial examinations and even the career will be much smoother. If you really don’t get it, it will not have much impact on him.

His idea at this moment was "I am lucky to get it, but I am lost to my life." He did not deliberately force it, nor did he go to see the list in person. He just asked Hou Zhitan to go to the palace school early on the morning of the release, and came back immediately to tell him that that's all.

After getting Yang Cong's instructions, Hou Zhitan naturally arrived at the place outside the official school to release the results early. He arrived just a moment before the time of Mao.

However, there are still quite a lot of people following the list of the examinations, and there are no less than a thousand relatives and friends of the candidates alone. Therefore, when he arrived at the post office, there were already hundreds of people there.

The chief examiner, the prefect Gu Kejiu, did not let everyone wait for a long time. Less than a quarter of an hour passed, several yamen runners came with paste and the list.

The prefecture test list is different from the county test list. There are no less than a hundred people on the list, and each candidate on the list must mark his or her rough hometown. Therefore, several yamen runners worked hard for a cup of tea to post all the lists.

However, Hou Zhitan didn't wait long because Yang Cong really took the first place again, and the first place was Yang Cong (Hui'an)!

This young master is really amazing. He was about to turn back to report the good news when a roar suddenly sounded in the crowd: "It's true, it's true. Yang Cong is the first place again. It's rumored that he bribed the examiner during the Hui'an County exam. He just went to the examination room to have a cold, so he got the first place. This time he happened to sit opposite me. I also stared at him for a long time. This guy just sat there to enjoy the cool air. He didn't do anything. Is he the first place again?"

Damn, who is this? Such a dark young master.

When Hou Zhitan saw the rush of his fist, he was Wu Tang roaring!

He specifically followed Yang Cong to recognize people, so he naturally knew this guy.

He knew very well that this guy must be spreading rumors. He had read a lot of articles made by the eldest young master. In his opinion, it is normal for his eldest young master to be the head of the palace and the capital to be the head of the court.

However, other candidates don’t think so!

Wu Tang's roar suddenly caused a huge response among the candidates who were looking at the list and the relatives and friends of the candidates, and many people showed their anger on their faces.

These naturally failed the exam. They didn’t know which onion Hui’an and Yang Cong were. They only knew that they failed the exam, but the guy who bribed the exam to cheat ranked first!

Wu Tang then raised his arm and shouted angrily: "How can we scholars let such shameless people succeed again? Wu really can't stand it anymore. I want to write a lawsuit to sue him. Is there a righteous man willing to go with Wu?"

"Go together, go together, and you must expose this shameless person."

As soon as Wu Tang turned around and rushed out of the crowd, a group of young people who failed the exam followed him and stood behind him. The crowd was angry and cursed.

Hou Zhi was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that this guy was going to falsely accuse the eldest master!

He hurriedly ran back to Chengtian Temple, and didn't care about the news, so he ran directly to the inner courtyard and panted to Yang Cong who was exercising: "Big Master, it's not good. Wu Tang's guy was making a fuss about cheating at the time of the announcement, and he probably had already brought a group of candidates to complain."

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong heard that he had no reaction at all.

Not only did Yang Cong fail to respond, but Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan all looked calm, but only Peng Fu showed a shocked expression.

The reason why Hou Zhitan and Peng Fu were so surprised was because Yang Cong did a good job of confidentiality. Chen Wenjie cheated him and he cheated Chen Wenjie. Except for a limited number of people including Xu Jie and Yu Dayou, everyone else was kept in the dark.

Seeing Hou Zhitan's anxious look, Yang Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Monkey, why are you doing so urgent? He sued him, let him sue. I am not afraid of the shadow slanting."

Hou Zhitan fainted when he heard this.

He vaguely knew that Yang Cong had seen through Chen Wenjie and Wu Tang's conspiracy, but did Yang Cong tell him the complete plan? He didn't even know that Yang Cong was ready to fight back.

He was about to persuade Yang Cong to prepare early, but Hong Tiezhu suddenly ran in and said hurriedly: "Report, the eldest young master, Wu Tang's guy held a complaint and took a group of people to Song Yingkui to complain."

When Yang Cong heard this, he finally showed a surprised expression. However, he was not surprised that Wu Tang complained, but was surprised at the shamelessness of these people.

Wu Tang, are you a candidate from Quanzhou Prefecture. When he found out that the imperial examination was cheating, he did not go to the chief examiner, that is, Gu Kejiu, the prefect of the county, to complain, but instead went to the supervisor of the provincial capital, Song Yingkui, who came from the provincial capital. Isn’t this obvious that I don’t believe in the prefect?

Of course, this idea was definitely not made by Wu Tang, because he was just a chess piece, and this idea should have been made by Chen Wenjie or Song Yingkui.

These two guys were not originally from Quanzhou Prefecture, and it is understandable that Gu Kejiu's feelings were not considered. They may have also avoided the trouble. After all, Gu Kejiu never showed any bias. He was as disgusted with the wealthy maritime businessmen as Zhao Yan, so it was indeed a bit inappropriate to ask him to sue.

To be honest, their plan to catch the thief is really good. If Yang Cong is kept in the dark and knows nothing, he will definitely be able to tell them.
