Chapter 341 Will you serve as an official in the court?

Meng Yongyuan suddenly asked, "Han Xing, if you pass the examination, will you go to the capital to participate in this year's autumn examination?"

Chen Hanxing turned to look at him and nodded gently: "Yes."

Lei Jiayang looked at him and asked, "Will you serve as an official in the court?"

"Won't."

Several people looked at him in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"I have more important things to do."

Song Yi looked at Lei Jiayang and the two Meng brothers and asked, "Are you planning to take part in the Autumn Examination?"

Lei Jiayang leaned back, supporting himself with his hands behind his back. "I had never thought about it before. I felt that being an official was too tiring. But after what happened today, I felt the despair of the people. I understand my father a little bit. He could have stayed in Beijing, so why did he have to come here to be a county magistrate?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "I want to enter the court. I want to make life better for the people."

Meng Yongyuan looked at his brother, and saw a rare determination in his eyes: "Let's work together. My target is the Ministry of Justice. I want to make them feel fear."

Meng Yongchun smiled and said, "I will first ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Wen Zhenyi smiled at them and said, "Remember what you said today. Don't forget your original intention. If evil is not eradicated, you and your family might be the ones who suffer over there."

"We are afraid that if we go against our original intention one day, you will punish us just like you punished these evil people today."

Wen Zhenyi shrugged his shoulders: "It's hard to say. If I wasn't afraid of scaring you today, I might have held back."

Lei Yingying was confused: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"A secret between us."

Lei Yingying turned to look at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, tell me."

"It's a secret, how could I possibly tell you?"

Lei Yingying was a little depressed and simply ignored them out of spite.

They were all silent, listening to the cries of the people outside and the busy people in the yamen.

There was nothing they could do now, all they could do was wait.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, County Magistrate Lei and Town Mayor Meng dragged their tired bodies back to the yamen.

Several people stood up and looked at them: "How is it?"

County Magistrate Lei smiled and said, "We caught up with them and rescued them."

Lei Jiayang and the others hugged each other happily: "That's great, that's great."

Lei Yingying also cried happily and wiped the tears from her face with her hands.

When Wen Zhenyi and his companions walked out of the yamen, they saw the people crying like tearful people while holding their lost and found children.

Lei Jiayang looked at the scene in front of him and smiled: "That's great."

Wen Zhenyi poured a basin of cold water on them: "If we find them back in two days, the fate of these girls will not be good." After that, she walked through the crowd and went forward.

The others also understood what she meant. Once a woman here was kidnapped and spent a night outside, it didn't matter whether anything happened or not.

They are destined to become tragedies and be abandoned.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted because of her words.

After Shen Hanxing said goodbye to a few people, he also caught up with Wen Zhenyi: “Are you in a bad mood today?”

"Not really, it just feels like this kind of thing has never stopped."

"Never stopped?"

Wen Zhenyi stopped and turned to look at him: "Remember I told you that I went to a magical place?"

"Remember."

"Over there, communications and transportation are more developed than here, but they still can't stop the occurrence of beacon shootings, and the children and women who were taken away still can't be found."

"Nowhere?"

"Yes, many children and women go missing every day."

“Is it also greed and poverty?”

"Yes, some couples who have been married for many years have no children, and these abducted children become their children. In some poor areas, there is no money to marry a daughter-in-law, so these abducted women become their daughters-in-law."

"Don't they have money?"

"Because of poverty, women were unwilling to marry into poor families. It's not much different from today. Another thing is that the ratio of girls to boys is unbalanced."

"More boys than girls?"

"Yes, that's why many people can't get married because of the preference for boys over girls."

Wen Zhenyi told him some modern things and the miserable lives of some abducted women and children.

Chen Hanxing originally thought that what happened here would not exist in the world she was talking about, but he thought too simply. It turned out that these things had never stopped.

No matter if it’s one year, ten years, or a hundred years later, they will still exist. Human greed is truly terrifying.

When they returned home, their family had been waiting for them all night and were relieved to see them return safely.

Ma Can also took the time to come back and briefly explain the situation, and also told them that Shen Hanxing and the others were in the yamen.

Even so, you were still worried about your family and couldn't sleep all night.

Old Lady Wen looked at the two of them and said, "You've been tired all day. Go take a shower and have a good sleep."

Shen Xiucai said nothing, but nodded when he saw Shen Hanxing and the others returned safely.

After what happened last night, security patrols in An County have become more stringent.

The seventeenth day is when the college entrance examination begins.

After two days of rest, Shen Hanxing has almost recovered.

Everyone went to see him off to the examination room.

Before dawn, there was already a long queue outside the examination hall, with candidates holding their admission tickets, all of which had portraits on them.

There are portraits on them, as well as descriptions of body shape and facial features.

If he wants to take the exam, he needs his neighbors to act as guarantors. If the candidates are from the same hometown, they also need to act as guarantors and be held responsible together.

In addition to the admission ticket, they also need to bring stationery and daily necessities. After all, the conditions in a two or three square meter space are very poor.

Food and clothing are essential. If you are unlucky enough to be assigned to the examination room next to the toilet at the end, you will really suffer.

There are no flush toilets here, and people don’t flush them frequently, so you have to prepare things like sachets or scented tablets.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the candidates who came to take the exam. They all had large and small bags, and some even brought pots, pans, and utensils. They all hoped to eat better.

Chen Hanxing brought relatively few things, and because the climate here is not too cold, there is no need to prepare too many clothes.

If it were somewhere else, it would probably still be very cold at this time.

Wen Zhenyi and the others stood outside, watching the candidates verify their identities one by one, and then open their luggage for inspection one by one.

When Chen Hanxing came, the soldiers were checking him. When they saw the instant noodles he brought, they just asked a few questions and didn't say anything more.

After entering, they also need to take off their clothes and check their clothes to eliminate all possibilities of cheating.
