Chapter 43 Jin Cheng's Ugly Name

This was the first time that Zong Wenxiu encountered such an unfair thing. If it were him, he would have just gritted his teeth and endured it. But it was different for his younger brother. How could his proud grandson endure such injustice?

But he didn't expect that unlike himself who mustered up the courage to ask his wife for help, the little devil himself directly overturned the stall!

Zong Jincheng has been dominating the capital for many years. No playboy dared to call himself the boss when he met him. He was willful and reckless in character. He was not afraid of offending anyone and would start to mess things up with a bench.

Zhang Zhi came out clapping his hands when he saw this, and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this the guy who was bragging the day before yesterday? If you can't pass the exam, you'll start tearing up the list. You can't afford to lose, right?"

Wu Shusen also stood beside him. Although he ranked one place lower than Zong Jincheng, his brother won after all. He looked up and sneered, "I think he couldn't pass the exam either. He was angry out of shame. Otherwise, why would he go crazy in the academy?"

Zong Jincheng said angrily, "Who can beat you in the exam? With your grades, how could you get second place? You must have cheated! And you, the last one, what do you call yourself?"

Zhang Zhi rebuked: "What nonsense are you talking about! I answered all the questions in the exam one by one!"

Wu Shusen also retorted: "So what if I'm the last one? How dare you, the second to last one, laugh at me?"

Zong Jincheng snorted coldly, "Answer your questions, your test paper is so easy. If you hadn't cheated, how could I have ranked so low?"

Zhang Zhi laughed angrily: "You little brat, do you know what cheating is? Cheating is falsifying your own test paper. What does it have to do with your poor performance? Could it be that someone is controlling you to fail the test?"

The two argued endlessly, from not doing well on the exam to the fairness of the exam.

The students who were watching the scene finally reacted and hurriedly called for someone to take care of the situation.

After Zong Jincheng and Zong Wenxiu ran over to check the grades, Xu Wan went straight to the dean's courtyard. She wanted to take a look at the test papers of the two children so that she could determine the direction of their future education based on the number of wrong questions.

But before he could find the test paper, he heard a student stumbling in from outside, gasping for breath, "Dean...Dean, something terrible has happened! A student didn't do well on the test, tore up the list, and is now smashing the table!"

Xu Wan wasn't sure if she was too sensitive. When she heard about such an arrogant student, she immediately thought of the little devil.

"What?" The dean stood up and didn't bother to find the test paper for Xu Wan. He followed the students out and asked as he walked, "Tell me what's going on?"

Xu Wan followed closely.

When we got there, we saw that the little devil was indeed arguing with someone. If Zong Wenxiu hadn't been there to hold him back, the brat would have been ready to start fighting.

When the dean saw Zong Jincheng, he realized who the troublesome student was.

Sure enough, it was the notorious devil in the capital.

He knew that this day would come when Zong Jincheng would be admitted to the academy, but there was nothing he could do as the Marquisate had given him too much.

No one can refuse...

The dean, with tears in his eyes, pulled the three quarreling people apart, and then said to Zong Jincheng, "Master Zong, is there any misunderstanding?"

Zong Jincheng snorted, clasped his fists across his chest, and became even more arrogant.

Zhang Zhi howled, "Dean, he can't afford to lose! He got last on the test, so he tore up the list, so we can't even see the results!"

Wu Shusen also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Dean, we just stepped forward to stop him, and he started arguing with us. How can such a bold and reckless student be worthy of staying in our college?"

Seeing that they only said things that were beneficial to them, Zong Wenxiu quickly spoke up to explain for his brother, "No, ma'am, it was because I suspected that their grades were fake that my brother impulsively tore up the list."

"Falsifying grades?" Xu Wan roughly knew what had happened without Zong Wenxiu's help in explaining.

The little devil must have received a very bad ranking.

But it does not match his strength.

Others may not know Zong Jincheng's true level, but she and Zong Wenxiu knew it. Thinking of this, she said to the dean, "Dean, why don't you check the two children's test papers first? I just want to see how Jincheng answered."

The dean nodded and said, "Okay, then come with me to check the test papers."

Several people followed him and found Zong Wenxiu's test paper first.

Xu Wan took it and heard the dean say, "Wen Xiu's test paper was actually pretty good. He answered all the questions correctly. I think he's just not keeping up with his studies."

Xu Wan nodded while holding the test paper: "Yes, the dean still has a keen eye."

The dean found Zong Jincheng's test paper and said, "Jincheng answered the questions well. Although his grasp of the translation is not very good, his handwriting is very beautiful."

As soon as he said this, Xu Wan and Zong Wenxiu looked over at the same time.

The little devil’s handwriting is good?

This is a compliment that Zong Jincheng himself should be able to accept with a thick face, right?

Zong Wenxiu signaled to Xu Wan with his eyes, look, there is indeed a problem with the test paper.

My younger brother has only been learning to write for a short time. No matter how talented he is, his handwriting has never been very good. But now he is being praised by the dean for his handwriting. This is really abnormal.

Xu Wan took the test paper and looked at it, and found that it was indeed written in unfamiliar handwriting.

The little devil's test paper was swapped.

At this time, Zong Wenxiu whispered to Xu Wan again: "Madam, Zhang Zhi ranked second this time. I think it's abnormal."

Xu Wan understood everything immediately and said to the dean, "Please take out Zhang Zhi's test paper and let me have a look at it."

"Why are you looking at my test paper?" Zhang Zhi was so nervous that he stuttered.

The dean also looked over in confusion.

Xu Wan smiled and replied, "Because I suspect that you stole Jin Cheng's grades."

Dean: “!!!”

God damn! How is this possible!!

He treated the people from Yuanyang Marquis' Mansion so carefully, but someone in the academy was actually holding him back?

Zhang Zhi yelled, "Why do you have the right to look at my test paper? It's mine, I don't allow anyone else to look at it!"

Xu Wan asked him, "Are you feeling guilty?"

Zhang Zhi blushed all the way to his neck, and he yelled, "Who is guilty? I am protecting my privacy!"

Xu Wan said, "The pens and ink used in the monthly exams are from the academy. Even the paper is from the academy. The dean has the right to check the grades of any student."

"Then... then only the dean can see it!"

"Okay," Xu Wan said to Zong Wenxiu with a smile, "Wenxiu, take Jincheng over there and have him write a few words for the dean to compare with."

She did not arrange for Jincheng to write directly, because based on the boy's rebellious mentality towards her, he would most likely not give her face.

However, with Zong Wenxiu in the middle, Zong Jincheng, although reluctant, still went over and casually wrote a few sentences of the first two sentences of The Strategies of the Warring States.

Zong Wenxiu took the handwriting and Xu Wan handed it to the dean to compare with the second-to-last test paper in his hand.

The dean's mouth twitched when he saw it.

The handwriting is really ugly.

Almost every word was twice as big as normal, and the entire paper was filled with large characters. Compared with the beautiful small characters on the test paper, the contrast was quite terrible.
