"Don't worry, sir, I'll do it now. As long as Mr. Su is in Lingbei County for a day, my subordinates will risk their lives to protect Mr. Su." Captain Wang said seriously.
"Well, let's all go. This county is really looking forward to this county examination."
In a wing room two or three rooms away, Xie Cang's laughter rang out.
In the room, Xie Cang carefully looked at the verses copied in his hand. Compared to the four lines of "Wang Yue" that everyone regarded as stunning quatrains, Xie Cang preferred the six lines of youthful spirit written by Su Qi'an before.
At first glance, these six lines are not a complete poem at all. On the contrary, they seem to be chanted casually.
But it was these six lines casually chanted that made the Marquis' heart surge with passion.
Especially the sentence, "Look up to the sky and go out laughing. How can we be from Penghao?" That kind of free and easy is exactly what Xie Cang wants.
As soon as the "Six Sentences of Youthful Spirit" and the "Four Sentences of Watching the Moon" came out, Su Qi'an's reputation completely resounded throughout Lingbei County.
There is no one on the streets who does not discuss Su Qi'an, a great talent. It is said that one of Su Qi'an's poems written at Wangyue Tower can be sold for hundreds of taels.
In particular, the four-sentence manuscript of Wangyue, which was enshrined as a god, has been sold for one thousand taels on the black market in Lingbei County. Su Qi'an did not know about this. If he really found out, he would probably be shocked.
Xie Cang laughed and said, "Haha, this Su Qi'an has brought us so many surprises. I have found a treasure this time. Tong Zhan, tell me, after the incident at Wangyue Tower, how many people has this Su Qi'an offended?"
"The others are fine. The biggest threats are Wei Yun and Song Wen. The rich and powerful people headed by these two will probably not let Mr. Su go."
"Haha, if you offend me, you will be offended. If I had Su Qi'an's talent, I would probably act even more arrogantly."
"Then what should we do next, Lord Marquis?"
"We'll wait and see what happens. It's not my turn to take action now. I'm afraid Fang Jingzhi should send someone to protect Su Qi'an at this time."
"With Fang Jingzhi's strength, Su Qian's life is at least safe. We can just wait for the results of the next county examination."
…
When the whole county was talking about Su Qi'an, at the other end of the main road, there was a luxurious inn that hosted officials.
Wei Yun's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he shouted at a middle-aged man wearing a blue official robe sitting behind the desk.
Almost every third sentence, he left Su Qi'an. Looking at Wei Yun's look, you could feel his anger.
But the middle-aged man sitting in front of him had an indifferent expression and also had a copy of the poem in his hand.
It was as if he didn't hear Wei Yun's complaints.
Wei Yun had been talking for almost half an hour, and the middle-aged man who had been silent said softly.
"When it comes to poetry, Wei Yun, you are indeed not as good as Su Qi'an. The weight of this poetry is such that even if you look across the prefectures and counties, it would be difficult to find a student who is higher than Su Qi'an."
"I have to say that this Su Qian is indeed a great talent."
Hearing the middle-aged man's comments, Wei Yun's expression changed and he said quickly.
"No, uncle, even though this Su Qian is talented, he has an unruly temperament and doesn't take the Wei family seriously in Wangyue Tower. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, where will the Wei family's face go?"
Wei Zhentang raised his eyelids and glanced at Wei Yun, and said coldly, "Xiaoyun, don't do those tricks in front of your uncle. What happens in Wangyue Tower cannot be hidden from your uncle."
When Wei Zhentang said this, Wei Yun, who was arrogant outside, was like a mouse meeting a cat. He immediately shut up and became as cold as a whistle.
Although Wei Zhentang is his biological uncle, he is the county magistrate of Sichuandu County. He has great power over the government affairs of the county and is a genuine sixth-grade official.
In the Wei family, the weight of speech is quite important. He has been an official for more than 20 years and has accumulated a strong aura as a superior person over a long period of time.
To be honest, Wei Yun was still very afraid of his uncle.
Wei Zhentang looked away, put the poem in his hand aside, remained silent for a while, and then continued.
"Su Qi'an is extremely talented and should have been the one to win over, but looking at the trouble between you and him, it's probably impossible for him to join the Wei family."
"Xiaoyun, don't ask anything about Su Qian'an. Just prepare for the county exam in three days. Leave this matter to your uncle, who will handle it appropriately."
Wei Yun, who had a slumped face, was very excited when he heard this. He thought that his uncle, the invigilator, would really let Su Qian go because he cherished his talent.
But what Wei Zhentang said to Wei Yun was a strong hint. With these words, Wei Yun seemed to feel reassured.
He said a few words to Wei Zhentang and then left wisely.
The door was closed, Wei Zhentang's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something, and then he seemed to make up his mind and quickly wrote something on the paper.
After a while, the paper was put into the envelope, he clapped his hands, and a dark figure suddenly appeared.
Wei Zhentang waved his hand, and the black shadow signaled to take the envelope away, and disappeared from the room in a few breaths, as fast as if he had never appeared before.
After doing all this, Wei Zhentang leaned back, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and murmured softly, "Since my Wei family cannot get this great talent, then no one can get it. If you offend the Wei family, it will not be easy to get over it." !”
Looking at the outside world, ever since Su Qi'an became famous in Wangyue Tower, Su Qi'an has been discussed in the streets and alleys.
Even the old news about child prodigies from earlier years have been dug out.
However, the reviews of this discussion were all positive.
To say that Su Qi'an has been silent for so many years and now shows off his talent is because he did it deliberately, just to be silent and become a blockbuster.
Later, the news that was uncovered became even more outrageous. It was said that Su Qi'an's suicide by drowning before mathematics was valued by the Wenqu star in the sky. Then his pitiful and miserable experience was wiped into Su Qi'an's body, and he was the reincarnation of the Wenqu star in the world.
If such rumors were placed in Dongshan Village, Su Qi'an would not pay attention at all, but this is Lingbei County.
In addition to the students taking the exam, there are also examiners, county magistrates, various powerful and powerful families, and even hidden big shots.
With such a commotion, it was difficult for Su Qi'an to become famous, and this kind of popularity spread to other counties at almost the speed of the wind.
Gradually, a large number of admiring admirers gathered outside the inn where Su Qian was staying.
The fanaticism of those guys made Su Qian feel what it means to be crazy.
Just like the big stars in previous lives, they are followed by a large group of fanatical fans wherever they go.
Su Qi'an once tried it. As soon as he opened the window, he was met with overwhelming shouts. The sound was so strong that it almost overturned the inn where Su Qi'an was staying.
If Colonel Wang hadn't brought people in time to maintain order, these fanatical admirers might have rushed in directly.
Seeing this scene, Su Qi'an was stunned for a moment. "It seems that I can't be too public about my poetry in the future." Su Qi'an sighed.
Because of the large number of fanatic fans, Su Qi'an did not go downstairs for the next three days and stayed in the room.
Because of Fang Jingzhi's arrangement, Su Qi'an was not disturbed during the three days he stayed at the inn, even though there were noisy noises outside the window from time to time.
But closing the window has little effect.
In the past three days, Su Qi'an, in addition to taking the necessary time to review, Shouhou, who had been investigating outside, sent in the information he had collected.
Su Qi'an held the results of Shouhou's investigation in his hand, glanced at it for a while, put the letter aside, and his eyes flashed.
As he expected, Wei Yun had not been idle during the past three days. Except for the students from Lingbei County, Wei Yun had already issued a ban on Su Qi'an.
Students from the other six counties in Sichuan County will be contacted to launch an "encirclement and suppression" campaign against students from Lingbei County in tomorrow's county examination.
This encirclement and suppression is not a use of force, but with their strength, they are bound to exclude the students from Lingbei County one by one.
Wei Yun's tone is not small. If he can really achieve this, it can be considered that Wei Yun has some abilities.
Su Qi'an is not afraid of this kind of challenge. Although he carries modern ideas, he also accepts all the talents and learning of the client Su Qi'an.
He was able to pass the scholar examination more than ten years ago and was hailed as a prodigy. This title is not for nothing.
Whether it was overtly or covertly, Su Qi'an's security department followed suit. As a scholar, Su Qi'an also had the arrogance he should have.
With countless people looking forward to it, this time the seven-county examination of Sichuandu County has finally begun.
At dawn, there were a large number of people walking around on the street. Without exception, these people were all students taking exams.
As early as a few days ago, the main road on the street had been cleared, and countless government officials and soldiers were guarding it to prevent accidents and maintain order.
Su Qi'an also went downstairs early, greeted several students from Lingbei County beside him, and then blended into the crowd.
Because Wei Yun's banning order targeted not only Su Qi'an, but the entire Lingbei County students.
I wanted to use this tough stance to divide the students in Lingbei County and even arouse their hatred towards Su Qi'an. This was the best.
After all, with his Wei family's appeal, any student in Lingbei County who doesn't want to curry favor with the Wei family knows how to take sides at this time, as long as he is not a fool.
But in the end, Wei Yun's move not only did not divide the students, but instead united many students in Lingbei County.
Being able to make Lingbei County students not hesitate to completely offend the Wei family is thanks to two people.
One is Mr. Liu, a well-known literary leader in Lingbei County. With his appeal, he has considerable weight among poor families.
Among the rich and powerful, the one to thank is Qin Huai. Together, these two have at least 80% of the say in the wealthy and poor families in Lingbei County.
These two people let their words go, which naturally caused many students in Lingbei County to make their choices.
Of course, the two of them could do this thanks to Su Qi'an's talent and the help that gradually emerged from behind.
Captain Wang could be escorted to the examination room in person, and three days ago, the Lingbei County Government announced that anyone who dared to attack Su Qi'an was going against the Lingbei County Government.
With such a simple sentence, he directly pointed out the protector behind Su Qi'an.
To be able to let the county magistrate say such things shows how much face Su Qian has.
He is almost halfway into the official career. Even if he fails this time, he is destined to be a popular person in the eyes of the county magistrate.
In addition, what Wei Yun did was excessive, which naturally aroused the anger of the students in Lingbei County.
Although they really want to curry favor with the Wei family in their hearts, they also have a bottom line as a human being. This time, they stand with Su Qi'an to resist these wealthy and powerful people, for the sake of others and themselves.
