"Su Yong, which family is the one who spoke later?"
There was a person in the back chattering and provoking all kinds of things, and then Su Qian spoke.
Su Yong replied respectfully, "It's the Zhou family, the Xizhou City family is ranked sixth."
"What about the Zhou family? When the imperial examination is over, it looks like I'm going to pay a visit."
As soon as these words came out, his expression changed as he had shown all kinds of disdain for the Zhou family, but he was a member of the aristocratic family after all.
Still having a tough attitude, he said to Su Qi'an, "Well, I have long heard about Earl Su's arrogance. Now that the boudoir is over, I want to see what Earl Su is capable of!"
"If I remember correctly, the Zhou family's property seems to be widely distributed. I ordered Su Ji Trading Company to eat it directly without being polite."
Su Qi'an said it in an understatement, and it seemed like he was bragging, but knowing Su Ji Trading Company, everyone's expressions changed.
Despite the layout of Su Ji Trading Company, which is only within one county, with Su Qi'an's own reputation rising.
The Suji Trading Company under him not only controls all the industries in Sichuandu County, but also continues to expand business outside.
This kind of development naturally aroused dissatisfaction among local powerful people, and they all joined forces to fight against Su Kee Trading Company.
But the final result was that all the local powerful people were defeated without exception. Later, they even chose to cooperate with Suji Trading Company.
The current Suji Trading Company is well-known in the entire Xizhou. It is not to mention number one, but it is more than enough to be in the top ten.
Such a large property would naturally be coveted by other powerful families, if it hadn't been for Su Qi'an's banquet a few days ago.
Su Ji Trading Company has long been targeted by some aristocratic families, preparing to seize it, but now, the leader of Su Ji Trading Company, Su Qi'an, is a person who must not be provoked unless absolutely necessary.
Now, because of a few sarcastic remarks from the young master of the Zhou family, Su Qi'an had a direct reason to officially start a war on the Zhou family's subordinate industries.
The other children of the aristocratic families at the VIP table all looked gloating at the misfortune.
The Zhou family is very strong, but compared to the recently emerging Suji Trading Company, it is indeed inferior.
The original intention was to test the situation, but Su Qi'an suddenly announced a war on the Zhou family's property.
This kind of price is really not worth it.
At this time, the face of the young master of the Zhou family changed. It turned out that he was testing someone for someone. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to regain his face.
If he could regain his position, he could not only suppress Su Qi'an, but also gain a favor.
The young master of the Zhou family knew Su Qi'an well, but he thought that with his family status, even if Su Qi'an came forward, would he still dare to attack him?
He was right. Su Qi'an did not dare to try in Chungui Prefecture and attack him. Instead, he directly attacked the property owned by his family.
This is worse than beating him.
The young master of the Zhou family kept changing his expression, looking at someone above him with a vague gaze, but the final response he got was indifferent.
At this time, Su Qian'an continued, "Young master of the Zhou family, you are also an adult. Whatever you do, you have to bear the corresponding price. No matter who you ask, Su will accompany you."
"Now, Young Master of the Zhou family, you should think about it carefully. How much of the property in your name can be saved after Chungui ends the dog?"
At this time, the young master of the Zhou family, even if he is still as tough as before, if the Zhou family's property is really targeted by Suji Trading Company, he may not be able to afford it after he returns home.
He stood up directly, walked to Su Qi'an, changed his toughness just now, and apologized repeatedly.
That look is so funny.
Everyone in the VIP seats above looked at this scene and sighed. No one can stop Su Qian's rise now.
Tang Feng, who was sitting at the top, looked at the young master of the Zhou family who was apologizing, and turned his eyes to Gongsun Bodao beside him.
"Haha, Brother Gongsun's power to show off his power is not very effective."
"Lord Zhou Mu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with me." Gongsun Bo looked indifferent.
"Haha, that's right. I'm just thinking too much.
After all, it is a matter for the juniors. Let’s see how many good talents we can get in this state examination. We must not let another cheating scandal happen like last time. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the three of us to explain ourselves. "
Xue Muxiu beside him nodded, "Don't worry, Master Zhou Mu, for this Spring Boudoir State Examination, the number of invigilators has not only been increased to three, but also three more scholars have been added to accompany the invigilators. There are a total of twenty inspectors in the examination room. This time It’s absolutely foolproof for the state exam.”
Tang Feng nodded and said softly, "I hope so."
As the 500 candidates for the Juren Examination entered the venue, the Chungui Prefectural Examination officially began with the sound of gongs and drums.
And the young master of the Zhou family, who kept begging Su Qi'an for forgiveness and looked like a pug, stayed by his side for about ten minutes, and then turned around and left. Although he didn't know what the two said, the young master of the Zhou family obviously looked a little more sad. easy.
Su Qian's face was calm, his eyes flickering, looking at the many students holding pens in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed by minute by second. Although the weather was a little hot, it could not stop the mood of the people watching the state examination.
The time for the Chungui Prefectural Examination is different from that of the County Examination, which usually lasts only half a day.
Once the half-day is up, it’s over.
Moreover, the answer scrolls in the examination room are also different. They are divided into three volumes. Only after answering one volume can you receive the next volume of examination questions. This is also to prevent the possibility of cheating by leaking questions.
In this state examination, there were twenty inspectors present, and it was very difficult to cheat in front of them.
In the last Autumn State Examination, there were too few inspectors, which led to some people bringing in questions and eventually being reported.
The cheater was Qin Huai. Although it was finally confirmed that Qin Huai was framed, it was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional in this state examination.
In front of Qin Huai, inspectors passed back and forth every few minutes, as if they regarded Qin Huai as a key suspect.
Qin Huai was sitting in the bamboo house with a calm expression on his face, turning a blind eye to the inspector pacing back and forth in front of him.
He held a pen and kept answering questions on the exam paper in front of him. The movements from the outside world had no effect on him at all.
About an hour later, one after another, people present raised their hands to hand in their papers and prepare to receive the next exam paper.
Roll up the completed test paper and put it in a wooden box to seal it. The inspector comes forward, takes back the wooden box, and gives the next test paper.
This method can protect the students' scrolls from being leaked to the greatest extent and prevent personal relationships from affecting the invigilator's judgment.
Many students handed in their papers and received the next exam paper. Xue Muxiu, who was at the VIP table, looked at this scene and said softly.
"Compared with previous exams, the first test paper is scheduled to be taken much earlier. Maybe we will be able to produce some good articles in this state exam."
Submitting the papers in advance, on the one hand, shows that the quality of the candidates this time has improved a lot compared to before.
The extra time can be used to fully cope with the second and third examination papers. After all, many students in the past years should have wasted too much time on the first examination paper, which led to their abnormal performance in order to grab time later, and thus they failed.
"Well, I'm really looking forward to it." Tang Feng nodded.
Everyone glanced around and looked at the many students answering the questions. Suddenly, one of the candidates raised his hand.
The inspector stepped forward, thinking that this person was going to hand in the paper, but he didn't expect it. The examinee stood up directly and said something to the inspector.
The inspector's face changed instantly. He checked with the candidates several times, then turned around and said loudly to the people in the VIP seats in front.
"My lords, I have something to report to my superiors."
Tang Feng looked indifferent and nodded.
"Let me report to you, my lords, a cheating student was found in this Chungui State Examination."
In an instant, many students who had been struggling to answer questions just now stopped their brushes and looked up in shock.
Not only them, but also the many people watching were shocked, with many comments and whispers.
"Let me go, what kind of situation is this? Cheating again? This is going to slap Mr. Zhou Mu in the face."
"Shhh, keep your voice down, you are risking your life. If you dare to talk about Mr. Zhou Mu, you are seeking death."
have
People reminded them, and soon these whispers fell silent.
But the atmosphere at the VIP table became obviously tense. Tang Feng, Gongsun Bo, and Xue Muxiu sat upright.
In the end, Zhou Feng spoke, "Quickly tell me the cause and effect, and catch the cheating student immediately."
The inspector nodded, and soon, the student who reported the news just now signaled to come forward. Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers rushed into the examination room. The direction they went to was none other than Qin Huai.
Looking at the many soldiers surrounding him, Qin Huai's face was calm and not at all panicked.
Putting down the brush in his hand, he stood up and was surrounded by a group of soldiers and brought to an open space in front of the VIP table.
Qin Huai's capture made everyone present take a breath. In some respects, Qin Huai's reputation was even greater than that of Su Qi'an.
After all, they were deeply impressed by the cheating scandal in the last autumn state examination.
Even if Qin Huai is cleared, he will still be stained with cheating and will inevitably be discussed and paid attention to.
This time Qin Huai was arrested again, which attracted huge attention. Everyone's eyes were on Qin Huai, waiting for the development of the situation.
When the two students arrived, the inspector spoke, "Replying to my lords, according to the report of this student Zhao Qin, Qin Huai found him before the state examination and invited him to cheat together and bring the answer text to the entrance, but Zhao Qinxin refused decisively. And because I was coerced by Qin Huai, I didn't dare to tell the matter, so I had no choice but to expose Qin Huai's cheating in the examination room."
When the inspector opened his mouth, countless people showed playful expressions on their faces.
On the surface, this time it refers to Qin Huai cheating, but in the second half of the sentence, being intimidated can give Qin Huai the ability to coerce others, which does not mean that there is someone behind him.
Who else can support Qin Huai these days? This direction was so obvious that many people's eyes were looking at Su Qi'an under the VIP table.
But Su Qian's face was calm. Even if the person standing below was his brother-in-law, this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Zhao Qin, are you serious about what you said? If you are found to be falsely accused, you should know what the consequences will be." Tang Feng whispered.
Zhao Qin, who was below, repeatedly held up his hands and said seriously, "My lords, even if you lend me a few hundred courages, I would not dare to make up lies and deceive your lords."
"If you don't believe me, you can open Qin Huai's first examination paper on the spot. As long as you check it, you will know whether it is true or false."
