Several people were slightly stunned, and after looking at each other, they all sneered. Bai Yong slapped his thigh in an exaggerated manner, "Why didn't I think of this method? You are worthy of being a young master."

The imperial court severely punished those who cheated in the imperial examinations. Those who committed serious cheating would be punished with forty strokes of the cane and the words "烟瘴改发" would be tattooed on their faces and they would be exiled.

If this punishment could really be used, it would directly destroy a person.

Candidates who cheat will be punished according to the law. This is a fair and just judgment and no one can find fault with it.

Bai Yong knew very well that neither the Han family nor the Prime Minister wanted to have a reputation of retaliating against a lowly servant. The gap in status was too great and it was simply not worth it. They could only start from a "legal" means.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bai Yong smiled and said, "As long as he enters the examination room, I have the final say. If I say he cheated in the imperial examination, then he cheated in the imperial examination."

"It would be best if we could catch him red-handed and leave him speechless to prevent the female commander from speaking up for him." Song Ming said coldly, "We must convict him of cheating, have him tattooed on the face, and send him into exile!"

Song Ming was no longer worried that his father would recognize Song Chi.

He didn't recognize him when he just came back, and he couldn't recognize him now, otherwise his image would collapse. Song Ming knew that his father valued his reputation the most and there would be no stain on it, and Song Chi was this stain.

The heavier the stigma and the more bad deeds Song Chi had, the more his father hated him.

Of course, the premise is that his inhumane deeds are not known.

"Please rest assured. I am about to leave Ji County. This is the last county examination I will preside over. As long as the new county magistrate has not arrived, my words will prevail and I will make sure it is done well."

Bai Yong patted his chest. He entered the officialdom as a juren, and was promoted to county magistrate after only two years. It was really amazingly fast. He knew very well that he got to where he is now thanks to the care of the Prime Minister, so naturally he would follow the lead of the Song family.

"The new magistrate is still in the provincial capital at this time, he can't come." Song Ming obviously knew some gossip.

Hearing this, Bai Yong smiled and said, "That's even more of a no problem."

"besides......"

Song Ming pressed his aching chest and said in a low voice, "Zhixian Bai is about to leave his post, and the new magistrate is from Deputy Assistant Lu Taiyuan. He must be here with a mission, so some things need to be explained clearly in advance..."

Everyone's expressions became more serious. They looked at Song Ming and did not dare to be negligent, as if they were facing the Prime Minister.

In fact, Song Ming was privately called "Little Cabinet Minister".

My dear brother, what can you use to fight me?

Those present were the chief officials of Ning'an Prefecture and the two counties, as well as local dignitaries and influential people. They all sat upright and listened to my instructions and arrangements.

In the county examination, you will be exiled for cheating in the imperial examination, and then you will be killed without a burial place.

And Liang Qingwu, you bitch, we will have to settle the score with you slowly.

......

Ning'an Prefecture, inside the official post station.

Liang Qingwu sat at the table, holding a military book in her hands and reading it. She was still wearing a neutral robe, and her face was delicate and flawless without any makeup.

"Bang!"

She put the military book down heavily. For some reason, she felt a sense of irritation in her heart, which made her unable to calm down at all. She couldn't concentrate on reading the military book. The scene after she was drugged last night appeared uncontrollably in her mind.

Damn it.

How could my innocence and body be taken away by that boy?

She murmured and cursed, and she didn't know what she remembered, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Someone come here!" Liang Qingwu shouted.

The door was pushed open and a burly soldier walked in.

"Madam Commander, what are your instructions?"

Liang Qingwu said calmly, "The new magistrate of Ji County, Feng Yuan, should have arrived at the provincial capital by now. You should immediately take your men and rush there as fast as you can. Be sure to bring him here before the county exam begins. Just tell him that Bai Yong insisted on holding the county exam before leaving office, and he will understand."

"yes!"

The burly soldier took the order and left. Liang Qingwu picked up the military book again, with a slight sneer on her lips.

The county examination is presided over by the county magistrate, who is also the examinee's teacher. If a candidate is admitted by him, then this status and friendship will be even more extraordinary. Education is an important performance evaluation for local officials, and the county examination is the most important one. It is extremely important to the county magistrate.

The county examination is usually held in February. Even if it is postponed for half a month or a month, it doesn't matter as long as it does not conflict with the prefectural examination in April. According to convention, if the outgoing county magistrate encounters this situation, the county examination time will be postponed and let the successor preside over it.

Firstly, it is to accumulate educational achievements for them, and secondly, it is to establish teacher-student relationships with local candidates to facilitate governance.

Therefore, it is very important for successors and helps them to carry out work quickly.

The county examination is held twice every three years. It has been held twice in the two years since Bai Yong took office, which means that it cannot be held next year. The emperor requires special examinations when he establishes a country, and county officials require special examinations when they take office. Bai Yong does not give his successor any face at all, and he even wants to blame others.

How could Feng Yuan not be angry when he found out?

He will surely come as fast as he can and compete for the position of chief examiner of the county examination in the name of the new county magistrate, and then Bai Yong's plan will fail.

Well, I'm not helping you, I just can't stand the way the "Literary Party" people act.

Liang Qingwu murmured, and finally she could concentrate on reading the military book.

......

Two days passed in a flash. During this time, Song Chi did not return to his uncle's house, but studied hard in the marquis' mansion to prepare for the exam.

Even though I have traveled through time, I still cannot escape the exam-oriented education.

Others who traveled through time were either princes or prodigal sons, but he was an abandoned child who was abandoned by his scumbag father.

However, Song Chi was not discouraged. He would not be abandoned, he would be a rebellious son, overthrow his scumbag father and become the Prime Minister. He would start with this county exam...

Ning'an Prefecture was a prosperous place for imperial examinations due to its developed commerce and prosperous economy.

Ji County, as one of the subordinate counties, is also a major county for the imperial examination. As the county examination approaches, many discussions have begun. At the same time, fierce public opinion has swept Ning'an Prefecture.

What happened at the female general's homecoming banquet inevitably spread.

At the banquet, Song Chi defeated the son of the Prime Minister in both military exercises and poetry presentation, and won the bet, allowing Han Yuanzheng, the eldest son of the Han family, to become a worship teacher... When the news of this incident spread, it immediately ignited public opinion and caused a lot of discussion.

The son of the Prime Minister became famous at a young age, and his reputation spread throughout the Great Zhou and was known to everyone. However, it is hard to believe that he lost to a useless book boy in both civil and martial arts.

The name Song Chi quickly became known to everyone. What was surprising was that it was similar to the name of the son of the Prime Minister, and they were from the same hometown.

But everyone thought it was just a coincidence, and no one would think that he had any relationship with the Prime Minister. After all, the Prime Minister is now in Ning'an. If they really had a relationship, why would they not recognize each other?

But no one could have imagined that the prime minister of the time really did not recognize his own son.

After winning two games in a row against the son of the Prime Minister and having the eldest son of the Han family worship him as his teacher, Song Chi became famous overnight.
