At the provincial examination site, many people scratched their heads after seeing the questions.
Obviously, not everyone is as knowledgeable as Zhang Han.
Unlike Li Long, who was surprisingly lucky and happened to have done similar questions before the exam.
Therefore, all I can do is stare and scratch my head.
Some people are holding on, breaking down and crying, feeling that after more than ten years of hard work, today they are afraid that they will be ruined.
There were also people who were holding on, and lightning flashed across their minds, revealing their original expressions.
But immediately after, he was sweating profusely. Because it took more than half an hour just to solve the problem.
I don’t know if the remaining time is enough to make a fuss.
Seeing that all the candidates in the hall were like this, Zhang Zifang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed slightly.
He is the examiner, so naturally he is the one who asked this question.
It's difficult to say, but it's indeed difficult if you can't see the clues.
But if you can see the clues, it’s actually very simple!
After solving the topic, whether it is the previous sentence or the next sentence, you can open up a broad discussion, and there is a lot that can be written.
But unfortunately, some candidates just can't even solve the questions.
"It seems that my career in the literary world has been declining day by day over the past few years. It is getting worse every year."
"On the contrary, the literary circles of Liang and Chen in the south are booming and have produced many talents."
"If this continues, it's not a good sign."
"I'm afraid I need to think of a way to get me involved in the literary world, so that I can be more active and have more talents."
Zhang Zifang thought so, but these are things for later.
The most important thing at the moment is to complete the rural examination first.
…
Before I knew it, several hours passed.
The rural examination is over.
The moment they walked out of the examination room, some people were in a state of despair, like zombies, driving their bodies forward like a zombie, even if they bumped into people, they ignored them.
There are also people who are smiling happily and walking briskly, like Feng Xu riding the wind, looking very happy.
There were also people scratching their heads and scratching their heads, but they were neither disappointed nor overjoyed.
Most of these people don't even know how they did in the exam.
There are still many people who care about this provincial examination.
The most important thing is that before this, the Li Long incident caused a lot of commotion.
As a result, after the provincial examination, everyone wanted to see whether Li Long, who had changed his family, did better in the examination, or whether the children under Lu Heng's name did better.
If it's the former, I'm afraid the situation will not be good.
If it is the latter, it proves that they were right!
The provincial examination is much simpler than the general examination.
Grading is relatively easy, but even so, it will take about ten and a half days after the exam is completed before the gold list is posted and the results are announced.
During these ten days and a half, Li Changkong took advantage of the fact that these scholars were still worried about their grades and threw out all the cards in his hand.
Soon, the true rumors that Lu Heng had forced Li Long away were spread in the streets and alleys of Qiandu City.
But this rumor is naturally becoming more and more outrageous as it spreads.
Even if the version is correct at the beginning, it will inevitably be... a little biased when it is passed on later.
At this time, in a teahouse, a scholar in Confucian robes looked around and saw no one around him, so he whispered to his companion: "Brother Zhang, have you heard about the story about Lu Heng, Minister Lu?" rumor?"
"Brother Li, this rumor is very popular, how could I not have heard of it?"
"Oh, this Minister Lu seems to be an upright person. I didn't expect him to be like this. He only asked for bribes from students, but he even forced Li Long's father to death."
"What are you talking about? I heard that Shilang Lu also seized Li Long's mother and locked her up in the mansion. She hides her beauty in a golden house and plays songs every night!"
"Ah? There is such a thing! Mr. Lu is actually as good as a wife!"
"I don't know about it, but since this matter has been spread so widely, and there are noses and eyes, I'm afraid it's not groundless!"
"Oh, no wonder Li Long wants to change his family."
"If it were me, I would not only change the court, but I might even destroy the Lu Mansion!"
"That's right! The Lord of Heaven and Earth kisses his master, and this kiss is before the master. Insulting your parents is a life-threatening act!"
"Where did you hear the rumors? How dare you slander the master behind his back? You are really brave!" Several figures at the next table stood up with a cry and glared angrily.
Surprisingly, they were a group of Lu Heng's disciples.
The leader, Lu Junda, glared angrily, stepped forward and grabbed the Confucian robe around the neck of one of them, and roared: "You are making such nonsense, do you believe I will send you to see an official?"
"Meet an official? Huh! If you don't want others to know you, you have to do it yourself!"
"If Mr. Lu is really innocent, why are you afraid of us spreading rumors?"
"What is pure will become pure by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself. Are you so excited? Could it be that you really got what I said?"
The Confucian scholar didn't give in. He straightened up and scolded Lu Junda angrily.
Lu Junda was so angry that he raised his fist and was about to hit the person in the face.
He has always been prone to anger.
When the Confucian scholar saw this, instead of resisting, a smile appeared on his lips.
His companions even louder and louder: "Everyone come and see! Master Lu's students are going to beat someone up!"
When Lu Junda saw this, no matter how angry he was, he knew that he couldn't be beaten.
Otherwise, public opinion will become even more serious, and when the time comes, they will have to face Lu Heng's wrath.
"Wait for me!" Lu Junda snorted coldly, said a harsh word, turned around and left.
When the Confucian scholar saw this, he was a little annoyed and said to himself: "Don't even think about five hundred taels. We only end up with three hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels is not bad. If you really get a beating, it will cost dozens of taels for treatment."
"Isn't there still something to be gained?"
That's right, these two people are trustworthy!
To be precise, it was the navy hired by Li Changkong!
Just kidding, you want to play a public opinion war, right?
As a great young man of the new century who has been baptized by the fandom culture of his previous life, Li Changkong has no fear at all.
If he can't defeat these old antiques from the feudal dynasty in the public opinion war, he will just dig his own grave!
The reason why I didn't take action before was just to wait for an opportunity.
Now that the time has come, the counterattack is naturally as fast as thunder.
…
Lu Mansion.
Lu Heng paced back and forth, feeling restless.
He really didn't expect that public opinion could reverse so quickly in just a few days.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Lu Junda asked.
"What else can I do? Of course, just like before, take the money and go find more people to scold Li Long and Li Changkong!"
"You can gain fame and fortune just by moving your lips. Such good things will never be in short supply."
Although public opinion has reversed rapidly in the past few days, overall, they still have the upper hand.
As long as you spend more money, you won't be able to suppress Li Changkong and the others.
After all, most of the points raised by Li Changkong were false.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Li Long gave him the so-called writing fee.
But even so, there is no evidence!
As for the death of Li Long's father, he never did anything.
Very clean!
On Li Changkong's side, Li Long's rebellion was real and everyone knew it.
With such obvious evidence, the world is not blind, and naturally knows which side to support.
"Don't panic. Play steadily. This time, I have the advantage!" Lu Heng said confidently.
