Chapter 488 Results Announcement Day
"The Fourth Prince is looking for me?"
Song Zichuan put down the wine glass in his hand and apologized to the others,
"I have something important to do today, I am rude, I will apologize to you all another day."
"No, Brother Song is too polite, of course business is more important."
"We will definitely have many opportunities to meet in the future, Brother Song, please." As soon as
the imperial examination was over, many students heard that Song Zichuan was a hot candidate, and they were all eager to make friends with Song Zichuan.
Now they see that Song Zichuan actually has contacts with the dignified Fourth Prince. His rapid success is
just around the corner. Like Song Zichuan, he is both talented and has the support of nobles. He is basically a winner in life, which is so enviable.
It would be great if I could have the same luck as Song Zichuan.
Song Zichuan was happy when he was called away. Could it be that the Fourth Prince knew the list of successful candidates in advance, so he called him to share the good news with him?
But when Song Zichuan arrived in front of the Fourth Prince and heard what he said, he was shocked at first, and then calmed down:
"Such a thing actually happened?"
Haha, it seems that he overestimated those poor scholars. In order to get a place on the list of successful candidates, they were willing to take such a big risk to plagiarize articles. They really don't know how to live or die!
Why did the idiot who wrote the same article as himself think that he couldn't use this article?
Also, when he suddenly encountered such a good thing, didn't the idiot consider that if he dared to use it, would other people who knew this article dare to use it?
As long as this matter gets out of hand, the emperor will know about it.
At that time, who was the real owner of this article, and who could have kept it secret?
Since he came to the capital, he had found so many witnesses to prove that he was the first person to write this article!
Not anyone else!
"Song Zichuan, can you explain to this prince why such a thing happened?"
The fourth prince did not want to doubt Song Zichuan, but this matter would definitely not end well, and it would definitely be reported to the emperor. The
fourth prince did not dare to protect Song Zichuan easily because he could not figure out all the circumstances in advance.
He asked Song Zichuan to come here to ask Song Zichuan to lend a helping hand, not to let Song Zichuan hold him back.
Now Song Zichuan only has the opportunity to help him by taking the imperial examination.
If Song Zichuan does not take this path well, then the fourth prince will definitely not keep Song Zichuan.
Hearing the Fourth Prince's impatience, Song Zichuan hurriedly explained:
"Speaking of this matter, it was all because I was not careful enough and thought too highly of human nature. I felt that scholars must have their own integrity and pride, and would not plagiarize."
"When I first arrived in the capital, I discussed academic matters with other students and mentioned this article."
"At that time, everyone admired my talent very much, and we got along well, so I said a few more words."
"I never expected that there would be such a villain who stole my article and used it to participate in the imperial examination!"
"There is such a thing?"
The Fourth Prince's heart was lifted up, and he let go a little.
"So, as long as this prince is willing to help you, you will have many witnesses to prove that the article is yours and the other person stole it?"
Song Zichuan nodded: "That's right."
The fourth prince's face eased: "That's good."
"Thank you, fourth prince, for trusting me and giving me opportunities again and again. I must repay you and be willing to work hard for you."
Song Zichuan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the fourth prince's attitude, Song Zichuan knew that the fourth prince believed what he said. He finally passed this level.
As long as the fourth prince was willing to believe him, he would naturally become the only owner of the article.
"Just remember that those people in the Gongyuan will definitely hand these two articles to the emperor, and he will decide."
"If the emperor asks, I will explain it to him on your behalf and will never let others damage your reputation."
"Thank you, Fourth Prince!"
This kneeling and kowtow were the most willing things Song Zichuan did.
After his own crisis was resolved, Song Zichuan became curious about who that idiot was.
Before copying his article, that person did not even consider whether he was the Fourth Prince's man? He
was really stupid and deserved to die.
"Fourth Prince, I have a question for you. Who is the person who wrote the same article as mine?"
"Such a shameless person who cheated his teacher and stole his reputation. I will stay away from him and never have any communication with him again." "
It seems that his surname is Feng..."
Song Zichuan asked this, and the fourth prince didn't mind letting Song Zichuan know more about the inside story.
Song Zichuan, who was just smiling smugly, froze: "Surname... Feng?"
Is it such a coincidence?
It can't be...
Impossible. According to Feng Nantian's situation, he wants to come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination. It will take at least three years.
What's more, he found someone to get rid of Feng Nantian last year.
The other party sent him accurate information that Feng Nantian was dead and not even his bones were left, so he just rest assured.
It was also because Song Zichuan was not as knowledgeable as him, and the real owner Feng Nantian was already dead, that he was so reckless and not afraid of anyone.
But at this moment, when he touched a surname like Feng Nantian, the guilty Song Zichuan was a little panicked:
"Does the fourth prince know the name of that scholar?"
"What's the matter?"
The fourth prince didn't understand why Song Zichuan asked so specifically,
"Do you want to settle accounts with him?"
"Actually, there is no need for that. When I prove your innocence to the emperor, the emperor will not let such a fake person go and will remove his fame."
"So you don't have to do anything now, just wait and see what happens to that person."
"Otherwise, it would be a pity to lose face for the sake of momentary pleasure."
He would definitely help Song Zichuan to avenge this grudge. Song Zichuan should be quiet and not do it himself, otherwise he would be ridiculed and it would be a loss of face.
"I didn't mean that..."
After hearing what the fourth prince said later, Song Zichuan not only did not feel proud of it, but began to sweat coldly.
The worse the fate of the plagiarist, the more sweat Song Zichuan had on his body.
"I just want to know. As far as I remember, I have no dealings with such a scholar named Feng, so I am curious about how he knew the article I wrote."
He must confirm that this scholar named Feng has nothing to do with Feng Nantian. It's just a coincidence that they both have the surname of this annoying Feng.
Otherwise...
Song Zichuan knew that from this moment on, as long as he didn't know the scholar's specific name, he would be restless and unable to laugh anymore, waiting for everything to settle down and whether he would rise to prominence or fall to the bottom of the mud.
"It seems to be called Feng, Feng what Tian? Feng Nantian, yes, that's the name."
