Chapter 461: Ridiculous First Test
"Wow" Shen Congyu was frightened and burst into tears.
Xue Xiang glared at him, and he was forced to retract his gaze and began to burp.
That little thing looks a bit pitiful.
Shen Congrong softened his heart all of a sudden, and hurriedly comforted him: “Don’t worry, brother, I’m here, I’ll take the exam with you.”
Shen Congyu hung his head listlessly, "Brother, can you practice martial arts with me?"
Shen Congrong shook his head regretfully, “I prefer studying to practicing martial arts.”
He also knows a little bit of martial arts, which is used to strengthen his body. He can't act like a bodyguard.
Shen Congyu became depressed again.
At this time, Shen Congrong secretly peeled a candy and stuffed it into Shen Congyu's mouth, and then quietly took out a tael of silver and gave it to him, coaxing him: "My mother gave it to me, you keep it well, are you happy now?"
When Shen Congyu saw the silver, he was not sad at all. He took the silver with a playful smile and returned to his heartless self.
Xue Xiang was very angry.
As he spoke, Liu Tiechui went up to the platform, struck the gong, and said loudly: "Now, all the candidates taking the preliminary examination, please listen carefully! This is the preliminary examination room, non-candidates are not allowed to leave outside the red line.
There are 500 seats in the examination room. Everyone takes turns to take the exam. Each exam lasts for one hour. Candidates must write down their detailed information on the test paper, such as which village they are from, their surname, and their parents' names. "
As soon as Liu Tiechui spoke, Su Tai heard many people around him cramming for exams.
"Village Chief, how do you write my parents' names?"
"Village Chief, what are the characters in the name of our village?"
"village head."
The more Su Tai listened, the more she wanted to laugh.
Seeing that it was still early, she was worried that it would be too hot when the sun came out, so she went over to discuss with Shen Ying and Su Changxi, and they decided that the children from the two villages would take the exam first.
Liu Tiechui obviously knew the situation, and he arranged for young children and older people to enter the first game.
Others watched from outside the red line.
Ma Yujie and Bai Rong came to join in the fun accompanied by their maids and guards.
Seeing those children, Ma Yujie curled her lips and said, "This is nonsense! Children are taking the exam too. If they pass, can they become officials?"
Bai Rong shook her head. "Who knows? I'll give it a try if I get a chance. This is normal. By the way, how are Xuan'er and Yuan'er preparing?"
Ma Yujie was still very confident in her two sons. She just smiled and said nothing.
The two chatted while watching those people answer.
Apart from anything else, it's interesting to see how seriously the child writes.
"It's better than I thought." Bai Rong said with a smile.
Ma Yujie didn't say anything, but she agreed in her heart.
An hour is neither long nor short, and just as everyone was chatting, the time was up.
Liu Tiechui struck the gong and shouted, "Stop writing, stand up, leave the examination room in an orderly manner, and wait for the papers to be collected!"
After the soldiers collected all the papers and locked them in the box, Liu Tiechui allowed the second wave of candidates to enter. He also asked those who had finished the first wave to leave immediately and not to stay in the town.
Liu Xuan, Liu Yuan and others were among the second wave to appear.
Liu Tiechui, who was sitting on the high platform, looked at the candidates answering the questions below and nodded uncontrollably, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, the candidates who registered are all reliable, and there are no people who try to take advantage of the situation."
As soon as he thought of this, he saw the people in the back row scratching their heads, and some were scribbling on the papers. What's worse is that they even peeked and copied other people's drawings. It was simply unbearable!
Liu Tiechui pointed in that direction angrily and yelled, "Answer me properly! If you peek again, I'll arrest you all!"
Those people became obedient instantly.
But they couldn't answer the questions. Sitting there for an hour was like being tortured. It was so unbearable that the candidates in the last few rows gave up and snored on the tables.
The onlookers pointed at them and laughed.
Liu Tiechui had a terrible headache.
After finally making it to the end of the second exam, those people didn't want to stay any longer and rushed out of the examination room and started complaining to their relatives and friends.
"I advise you who can't read a single word not to go in and embarrass yourself. You can't read it, and even if you do, you can't understand it. Even if you do understand it, you can't write it. That pen is deliberately against me! It's not as useful as a hoe!"
"I think you're destined to work hard all your life!"
Everyone started to make fun of it.
Some people actually took this to heart.
Of course, there are also those who don't believe in it and decide to go in and give it a try.
So the third exam began.
Liu Tiechui sat there and watched them answer carefully. The guy started messing around from the first person in the first row to the last one.
Forget it, he still wants to live a few more years, so just turn a blind eye!
However, even though he let those candidates off the hook, they still couldn't say a word. In the end, they even blatantly started to discuss things with the people around them. When they couldn't come to a conclusion, they asked the people in front and behind them, and some even asked for help outside the venue.
Liu Tiechui's expression was hard to describe.
Bai Rong and Ma Yujie didn't know what to say when they saw this.
Bai Rong said with sympathy, "Sister, I think you should go back and persuade your brother-in-law. He has been very angry these past few days."
It's really annoying! I spent so much effort on this preliminary examination, but it turned out to be a joke.
The preliminary exam, which was originally scheduled to last a whole day, ended up taking only half a day.
Liu Tiechui came down from the platform with a hoarse voice and asked several soldiers, "How do you plan to arrange these preliminary examination papers?"
The soldier clasped his fists and bowed, "According to the order of the county magistrate, these papers must be sent back to the county town to be reviewed by the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the imperial envoy first."
Liu Tiechui thought that Shen Yi would also see these things, and his heart suddenly balanced, "Thank you for your help, sir."
The soldiers returned to the county town carrying several boxes of papers.
Shen Yi, Lu Tong and Tang Yu reviewed the papers overnight.
The front hall of the county government was silent at first, but within half an hour, angry roars broke out one after another.
"Turtle! It's actually a turtle! Which bastard turtle drew this! Who told them to collect this kind of thing? There's more than one!" Lu Tong was so furious that he almost jumped up.
Tang Yu smiled bitterly and handed the stack of papers beside him to Lu Tong, "Master Lu, the turtle is still good. Look at these, I don't know what they are drawing! It looks like wind, fog, clouds and rain, forget it, I can't make it up anymore, it's just a bunch of scribblings, there's not even a signature, I feel choking if I burn it."
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "You think too highly of them! If they can write a signature for you, they won't scribble! Xiao Tai is really good. She screened out a wave of unreliable people in the initial test, so as not to anger His Highness."
Both of them agreed deeply.
That night, flames shot up into the sky from the front yard of the county government office, as if there was a fire.
The alarmed people came to put out the fire in their underwear and carrying buckets of water. When they asked, they found out that the fire was caused by burning paper rolls! Their expressions were so wonderful.
The next day, the incident spread like a joke.
The people who were fortunate enough to participate felt particularly honored and showed off their feats in the examination hall everywhere.
