"Do you think the people in the Imperial Examination Hall are all fools or blind? There is a search before entering, and there are examiners checking back and forth during the exam. Why don't you copy one for me?

Your father, the Prime Minister, is not that kind of person. I remember that on the day you entered the Imperial Examination Hall, he said that you were the top scholar of the year.

It seems that your Jing family's attempt to use the backdoor failed, so you are so angry that you wrongly accuse others. You can't even hold a pen, and you can't read many characters. If you really get the top prize, then the examiner is blind. "Ye Xiaosha said every word without any mercy.

Ye Xingchen was very satisfied. He didn't expect that Fifth Brother was so good at arguing with others.

Jing Tianlai is the prime minister's only son, and people have always fawned on him. He has never been humiliated like this before.

"Ye Xiaosha, you dare to humiliate me, I'm going to beat you to death. Come here, beat you to death!" Jing Tianlai roared.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on!" Ye Xiaosha was about to fight with them.

The people around were terrified and retreated.

When the eldest and second eldest brothers of the Ye family saw this, they immediately rushed over and joined the battle.

"Why are they fighting out of the blue?" Ye's mother was very worried.

"This kid from the Jing family is such a bastard, he deserves a good beating." Ye's father agreed.

"Dad and mom, please step back. I'll go help Old Five." Ye Lao San was about to rush over. After all, this matter was caused by him.

But Ye Xingchen stopped him: "Third brother, you can't go. You just graduated from high school. If you fight now, it will definitely damage your reputation. If you anger His Majesty and are stripped of the title of top scholar, then all your efforts over the years will be in vain."

"But I can't just stand by and watch my fifth brother and eldest brother get beaten because of me?" Ye Lao San blamed himself.

"Who said they were beaten? You guys should just watch the show from the side." Ye Xingchen finished speaking and deliberately shouted, "Third brother, take mom and dad away quickly. Mom and dad are old, don't let them get hurt!"

The people nearby looked over.

"Since Xingchen said so, let's listen to her." Ye's mother pulled Ye's father and Ye Lao San aside.

"Dad, have you noticed that the Jing family members seem to be moving a lot slower?" Mother Ye could tell something was wrong at a glance.

Normally, a fight between two people would be a life-and-death one, but when she looked carefully, the Jing family members seemed to be a little slow, so Erlang of the Ye family beat them back severely.

"Don't say it, I saw it too. Let's keep our voice down and don't tell anyone." Father Ye was secretly happy.

Ye Laosan was suspicious, could this be the reason why his sister didn't let him participate?

When Ye Xingchen saw Jing Tianlai fighting with Ye Xiaosha, he rushed over and started punching and kicking Jing Tianlai without any mercy.

"I'll let you stir up trouble, I'll let you find fault, I'll let you hit my Ye family, I'll beat you to death!" Ye Xingchen was aggressive and used both fists and feet. His ferocious appearance scared away everyone.

Except for Ye Xiaosha, the other members of the Ye family did not know any martial arts at all. They were punched several times by the servants of the Jing family, but they found that their punches were too slow, so the Ye family members immediately fought back.

The waiting and screaming echoed throughout the street.

"Get out of the way, everyone. Who is fighting in the street and causing trouble?" The constable in charge of patrolling the streets of the capital came over immediately.

When he saw that it was Jing Tian, ​​​​he said respectfully: "It turns out to be Master Jing."

When Jing Tianlai saw that they recognized him, he was immediately proud: "You came at the right time. Ye Lao San cheated in the exam. The Ye family was unreasonable and dared to beat me. Arrest them all?"

Constable Chen Huai frowned: "What? Cheating in the exam? How can this be allowed? Arrest the person immediately?"

Ye Xingchen sneered: "The detective didn't ask any questions and arrested people without knowing the truth. Jingtian came and said that my third brother cheated, so please show me the evidence. If you can't show it, I will go to the government to sue you for slandering the current top scholar.

This is about the new number one scholar. I'm sure this matter must have alarmed His Majesty. If you dare to deceive His Majesty, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and your entire family would be executed. Even if your father is the prime minister, I'm afraid he can't protect you. You'd better think about the consequences before you speak."

Jing Tianlai shuddered with fear. He just couldn't stand Ye Laosan's high school and was talking nonsense on purpose.

Naturally, he didn't have the courage to lie in front of His Majesty. If he really implicated the Jing family, my father would skin me alive.

Jingtian was frightened when he thought about it, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Master Jing is using the backdoor. He is jealous of the other person's success and deliberately slanders the Third Master. He is the top scholar chosen by His Majesty. If he cheated, how could His Majesty, who is so wise and powerful, not find out?" Someone whispered.

The people who were watching the fun immediately agreed and all pointed fingers at Jingtian.

Jing Tianlai was in the wrong in the first place, and he didn't care about the people's accusations. He was just a little afraid of the fact that his entire family would be executed.

"I have other things to do today, so I won't bother with you. Let's go!" Jing Tianlai snorted angrily and left angrily.

All the servants who came with him left in disgrace.

No one is stupid. Jingtian's action undoubtedly proves that he is talking nonsense. Otherwise, with his rogue character, he will definitely not let him off.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, the third young master has been admitted to the imperial examination." The people complimented them one after another.

"Thank you all, my third child has passed the high school entrance examination, which is indeed a cause for celebration. My Ye family will hold a big banquet to celebrate, and everyone who doesn't mind can come and support us!" Ye's father said generously.

"We will definitely go and share in the good fortune." Everyone congratulated them.

"Sister, you are really awesome. You scared Jing Tianlai with just a few words." Ye Xiaosha said admiringly.

Ye Xingchen smiled calmly: "I'm just telling the truth."

When the Ye family returned home, they immediately asked people to prepare copper coins and a banquet as a reward. It was a huge joy that the third child passed the high school entrance examination, so naturally they had to celebrate it properly.

The people outside were beating gongs and drums. They were two officials who had come to announce the good news. Every year, the top three in the palace examination would beat gongs and drums to announce it to the whole city.

"The third son of the Ye family has become the top scorer in the imperial examination. Congratulations!"

"Thank you both gentlemen. You have worked hard." Ye's mother immediately handed each of the two men a silver note.

When the official who brought the good news saw that it was actually a silver note of 10,000 taels, he was shocked and said, "Mrs. Ye, this is unacceptable."

Every year when they announced the good news, everyone would give them rewards, ranging from a few dozen taels to a hundred taels. This was the first time someone gave them a reward of ten thousand taels.

The Ye family is indeed wealthy enough to rival a country, and they are so generous.

"It is a great honor for our Ye family that you two officials have come to announce the good news. Just consider it as inviting you two officials to have tea." Mother Ye directly handed it to the two of them.

The two men didn't want to refuse, so they became much more polite, explained a few more things, and then left.

At the gate of the Ye family, gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were blasting. Everyone was extremely happy and came to congratulate them.

Ye's mother had two tables set up and gave silver to everyone who came to congratulate her, one gold ingot per person. No other family in the whole capital could match her generosity.

Especially the beggars, refugees, etc., when they heard that the Ye family was giving out rewards, they all came to ask for them.

Mrs. Ye did not look down on them. She gave money to everyone who came. Everyone sighed that the Ye family was indeed generous and rich. No wonder they were able to pass the high school entrance examination.

Naturally, this matter reached Xia Lan's ears. At this moment, she twisted the handkerchief tightly with both hands, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, angry, annoyed, regretful, and self-blaming.

I can’t explain it, but I feel really bad.
