The man asked him if he was dissatisfied with the result of Xianwen, and Zeng Zhui nodded immediately.
Of course he was dissatisfied with being fooled and deceived. Any man with a backbone would not compromise in this matter.
When Zeng Zhui saw him, it was as if he had suddenly found a pillar of support and poured out all his grievances.
After listening to this, the man suggested to hold another public evaluation.
But Zhou Shancai was guilty and tried to cover it up, and even slandered Zeng Zhui for being jealous because he was not selected.
What was he jealous of? How those idiots could combine the words they knew into a nonsense gibberish?
Zeng Zhui was so furious that he spat out all the election articles he had just read without missing a word, and slammed them in the faces of those idiots, making their faces red and they didn't dare to fart.
Seeing this, Zhou Shancai wanted to drag Zeng Zhui away by force, but was stopped by several gentlemen who came with the man.
Seeing the gentlemen defending themselves and arguing for their injustice, Zeng Zhui finally realized that not everyone in the capital was a servile and despicable person. He was moved and aggrieved, and almost burst into tears. Fortunately, he held it in and did not lose his composure and make a fool of himself by his enemies.
At this time, several gentlemen seconded the proposal and requested that all the poems and essays entered into the competition be publicly evaluated again.
Perhaps because of the extraordinary identities of these people, Zhou Shanshou could not cover up everything, so he had to agree to re-evaluate all the articles publicly.
As expected, Zeng Zhui won first place.
Zeng Zhui was not happy, he just felt humiliated.
If I had known this would happen, I should not have participated in this crappy Shiwen Ya Ji, which insulted my own articles in vain.
Thinking that it was Feng Miao who asked him to participate, he looked around but could not find Feng Miao.
I don’t know whether this person did it on purpose.
Zeng Zhui's first place win was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Zhou Shancai, the judges and all the candidates.
In order to clean up the mess and restore his reputation, Zhou Shancai had no choice but to follow the regulations and let Zeng Zhui sell the article to him.
Zeng Zhui naturally refused to obey. Even if his articles rotted in his hands, they would not be touched by these dirty people.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shancai blatantly threatened him, saying that if he did not sell his articles to Jisheng Bookstore, no one in the capital would dare to publish his articles from then on.
If he doesn't want to publish it, then don't publish it. He would rather his articles remain unknown than hand them over to such people.
At this moment, a loud and powerful voice interrupted and shattered the smugness on Zhou Shancai's face.
"The boss is quite arrogant."
I followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a woman.
The woman said, "As long as Zhanchun Bookstore and I, Xu Jiang, remain in the capital, his writings will never become waste paper!"
This remarkable woman named Xu Jiang engaged in a heated exchange of words with Zhou Shancai, and she was not at all at a disadvantage.
Zeng Zhui looked at her with admiration.
She is eloquent and fearless of power. She is truly a heroine!
I never thought there would be such a person in the capital!
Although he missed the chance to become famous and even got beaten up during this trip to Shiwen Yaji, it was not a wasted trip because he got to know these people with a sense of justice!
