The next day.
Early in the morning, Kong Wenbo took the top three to the Imperial College in the capital.
Although the grievances in the hearts of the scholars in the city have not dissipated, they all left the city to see each other off.
But after Kong Wenbo left, these scholars immediately vented their dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Kong's selection this time was too hasty! He actually let those three idiots get the top three places. What kind of look is that!"
"I'm afraid Mr. Kong is old and his eyesight is dim."
"The most regrettable thing at this time is Mr. Chen Fan. With his talent, how could he be the last one?"
"I feel so sorry for Mr. Chen Fan!"
…
At this time, people went from being dissatisfied with Kong Wenbo to feeling sorry for Chen Fan.
This regretful mood quickly infected the people in the city from among the scholars.
The people in Dongyang County felt sorry for Chen Fan.
At this time, Chen Fan was sitting in the courtyard, looking thoughtful.
No one knows what he is thinking.
"Ms. sir, the people in the city don't deserve it for you! Why aren't you angry at all?"
The two sisters said to Chen Fan.
But at this time, Chen Fan seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and was still looking thoughtful.
This made the two sisters confused, because Chen Fan had always been lively and cheerful in front of them, and looked unruly.
Why are you so silent today?
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? You've been here since morning. What's wrong with you?"
Yingchun asked with concern.
"Yes, sir, you haven't teased me or my sister since morning. What's wrong?"
Ying Xia, who was belatedly aware of this, also asked with a concerned look on her face.
At this time, Chen Fan suddenly sat upright and showed a serious look.
"I have something to tell you."
Chen Fan said with a serious face.
This was the first time the two sisters had seen Chen Fan look so serious.
Combined with Chen Fan's abnormality today, the two sisters knew that what Chen Fan was going to say next was definitely not simple.
The two sisters immediately became serious.
At noon, a piece of news suddenly came, making the people of Dongyang County uneasy.
"Mr. Kong encountered bandits in Qianlin Mountain, and his life or death is uncertain now."
Qianlin Mountain is not far from Dongyang County. There is indeed a group of gangsters who dominate the mountain and often block roads and rob.
The government sent out several raids, but all failed.
Unexpectedly, these bandits were so bold this time and dared to attack Kong Wenbo.
You must know that Kong Wenbo represents the Kong family!
And everyone knows that the bandits in Qianlin Mountain are very vicious. Even if they steal money, they will kill everyone.
This time Kong Wenbo may be in danger.
For a time, the people in the city felt scared.
These bandits dare to attack even members of the Kong family, so will they come into the city to burn, kill and rob?
An uneasy mood instantly enveloped everyone in Dongyang County.
Just when people were uneasy, they suddenly saw Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da leading a group of officers and soldiers hurriedly out of the city.
"The bold bandits dare to cause trouble in the territory under my jurisdiction. I will never come back until I kill this bandit this time."
Before leaving, Ding Mingcheng suddenly shouted loudly.
"Master Ding is brave. Today I will follow Master Ding to the death."
As soon as Ding Mingcheng finished speaking, Zhao Daye said loudly.
The people in the city heard this and looked at their actions.
The original dissatisfaction with Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da in his heart dissipated in an instant.
Instead, there was a look of admiration.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, these two corrupt officials in their eyes turned out to be so brave.
Although Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da seemed brave, the people in the city were still very worried.
After all, the bandits in Qianlin Mountain were notoriously ferocious, and the government's several encirclement and suppression campaigns failed, and instead they suffered heavy losses.
Everyone felt that Ding Mingcheng and the others were in trouble this time.
However, the spirit of Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da, who knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the mountains with tigers, still moved the people very much.
Just when everyone was praying for Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da, a piece of good news came.
"A small team of the Jicheng Army happened to pass by Qianlin Mountain while changing defense. They have already joined the battle."
As soon as the news came, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
The Jicheng Army is a border garrison with very strong combat effectiveness.
If they take action, the bandits will definitely not get any favors.
Soon, another good news came.
"With the joint efforts of the Jicheng army and the officials, the bandits were wiped out."
When the people in the city heard the news, they immediately cheered.
The common people in the city began to spontaneously go outside the city, planning to meet the heroes who suppressed the bandits.
At this time, all the scholars had an idea in mind.
That is, Kong Wenbo was rescued, and the top three were all killed.
This way they have another chance.
Everyone looked out of the city with a look of expectation in their eyes.
Soon, Ding Mingcheng and others appeared in front of them, followed by a large group of soldiers wearing armor.
At this time, Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da were covered in blood, and even their faces were stained with blood.
They didn't know if it was their own blood or the enemy's blood.
But when everyone saw this, they could also imagine how brave the two of them were just now.
For a time, the people in the city were moved to tears.
"Why……"
But at this time, the crowd of scholars let out sighs of disappointment.
Because they saw Kong Wenbo, and the top three were among them.
Are they okay?
This is the most disappointing thing for readers.
"Master Ding, thank you for your hard work, Master Zhao."
"You are all good officials! We misunderstood you before."
…
All the people looked at Ding Mingcheng and Zhao Da with admiration and said.
"You must not say this. These are what we should do."
Ding Mingcheng said modestly.
"Mr. Kong, are you okay?"
"Mr. Kong, those gangsters didn't hurt you, right?"
…
At this time, the readers asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenbo waved his hands indifferently.
"Thanks to Master Ding who went deep into the gangster's den and killed the leader of the gangsters with his own hands, I was able to escape!"
Kong Wenbo glanced at Ding Mingcheng and said.
When everyone present heard that Ding Mingcheng went deep into the gangster's den and killed the leader of the gangster with his own hands.
Everyone showed admiration.
I didn't expect Ding Mingcheng to be so powerful.
"These are what I should do, but although the leader of the gang is dead, his accomplices are still in the city."
"I will never let go of any of his accomplices."
Ding Mingcheng said righteously.
When they heard Ding Mingcheng's words, everyone present also showed anger.
Unexpectedly, the bandits actually have accomplices in the city.
"Let's go together and find the accomplice."
"You must not let such a cruel person go, or he will harm us in the future."
"Let's beat that beast to death together."
…
Everyone said indignantly as they followed Ding Mingcheng back to the city.
Ding Mingcheng finally stopped outside Chen Fan's house.
This made everyone present look puzzled.
Aren't you looking for an accomplice?
Why did you stop at Chen Fan's house?
Could it be that Chen Fan is an accomplice?
