Mr. Donglai was indeed so happy that he was speechless.

He always knew that his little apprentice was very talented.

It really made the apprentice completely low-key, and it seemed... quite difficult for him.

But, there is no need to be the top candidate in the county at the age of nine!

Oh my god!

Is there no one who questions such a young county champion?

Mr. Dong Lai's thoughts were in turmoil and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He unconsciously muttered the questions in his heart.

Hearing this, Old Cui became even more proud: "Of course not. When the county government announced the results that day, thousands of candidates stood up to question Brother Xian, saying that he cheated!"

"Guess what happened?"

Facing Old Cui's smug expression, Mr. Dong Lai felt a little tingling for some reason, and asked cautiously, "...What's going on?"

Old Cui's expression was so delighted that she said excitedly, "As a result, thousands of candidates asked questions on the spot, and Brother Xian solved them on the spot."

"He solved more than a hundred questions in a row, and no one found a wrong answer to any of them. In the end, the thousands of examinees no longer dared to doubt Xian'er's ability!"

"Now everyone in Nanyang City knows about the story of the nine-year-old county champion who solved 100 questions on the spot! There are even scholars who want to buy the answers to the questions that Xian Ge'er solved."

"I'm planning to print a book called 'Nine-year-old County First Place Cui Xian Solved 100 Eight-legged Essay Questions' and sell it!"

"...Old man, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy?"

Mr. Dong Lai forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Happy, I am really very happy!"

It turns out that the nine-year-old county case leader is not the most high-profile one.

The most high-profile case was when the nine-year-old county case leader confronted thousands of examinees on the spot and solved hundreds of eight-part essay questions in a row!

This... is a real-life example of a 'good story spread' that will cause a huge sensation!

Mr. Dong Lai's heart finally settled down.

At this time, Cui Xian, knowing that he had caused trouble, came over, forced an awkward smile towards the teacher, and was about to apologize.

Mr. Dong Lai waved his hand: "I know, I don't blame you. You are just too good, what's wrong with you?"

"By the way, what was the topic of this county exam, and how did you answer it?"

Cui Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are two questions in this county exam, namely: King Wu, King Tai, King Ji, and King Wen's thread."

"Today's husband."

Hearing these two familiar questions, Mr. Dong Lai was shocked.

Then, when the young apprentice recited the contents of the answer sheet, Mr. Dong Lai was very excited.

Those two brilliant eight-part essays that the education official handed to him that day in Kaifeng turned out to be written by his own little apprentice?

And the one who topped the county case was actually chosen by him personally for his apprentice!

Thinking like this.

Mr. Dong Lai stood up suddenly and looked at his apprentice with a look of satisfaction and admiration, completely changing his previous expression of "the sky is falling".

The old gentleman said confidently: "My dear disciple, don't be afraid! You are not wrong! This county first place should be yours! If Ye Huaifeng doesn't give you the county first place, I will rush into the county government to settle accounts with him!"

"It's okay. It's okay."

"But as for your master... well, he will forgive us. Uh, no, he may only forgive you, but it doesn't matter! Your disciple is so outstanding, he got such a good disciple for nothing, so what's wrong with him being wronged a little?"

"He's so happy to win, let him be happy!"

After hearing what the teacher said, Cui Xian felt a little embarrassed and looked a little strange.

This time... could he really have betrayed his master?

As it turns out, yes!

The memorial from the Inspector of Education was sent to the Ministry of Rites.

The Minister of Rites didn't get along with Zheng Ge Lao, so naturally he didn't inform him in advance. Instead, he secretly sent this memorial to several censors and trolls in the Censorate and the Inspectorate overnight.

So, the court was held early the next day.

Without any warning, Lord Zheng was criticized like a sieve.

At that time, the emperor had just sat down on the dragon throne.

All officials saluted His Majesty as usual.

Both sides were in a happy mood, and both the emperor and his subjects were enjoying themselves.

After the eunuch in charge of writing gave the order, all the ministers were asked to submit memorials and discuss the matter.

Three censors stood up one after another and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to report! I want to impeach Zheng Ci Fu!"

For a moment, all the officials in front of the palace looked sideways, with expressions of enjoying the show.

To be honest, the censors have a lot of trouble. Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, which one has not been criticized or impeached?

Lord Zheng has been in power for so many years, and he is very receptive to such things.

Almost at the moment of being impeached, Zheng Ge Lao took two steps forward with a panicked expression: "I am terrified!"

While speaking, Lord Zheng was actually wondering in his heart, what the hell was going on this time?

I didn't hear any news.

But it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, only two or three censors stood up.

As a result, the next moment, Lord Zheng was really "panic".

With the emperor's permission.

A censor shouted, "I want to impeach Zheng Ge Lao for interfering in the imperial examination and helping his disciples to cheat! I have received news that Zheng Ge Lao's disciple, nine-year-old Cui Xian, won the first place in the Nanyang County case!"

"This must be the Nanyang County Magistrate, who wanted to curry favor with Lord Zheng, so he was so absurd as to nominate a 19-year-old child as the first in the county case!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.

I never expected that such a big thing would happen as soon as I went to court today!

Cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime!

And Lord Zheng himself was also dumbfounded.

"I never thought that the imperial examination in Daliang was to select talents for Lord Zheng. It's really ridiculous!"

"I beg your Majesty to purge the court of treacherous officials!"

The three censors spoke passionately one after another.
