After the case ended, registration continued and lasted for two days before entering the formal examination stage.
The two knew that although the forces headed by Lei Liquan had suffered a blow, they would not easily give up positions such as chief clerk.
Therefore, the two of them never let down their guard and remained wary of Lu Fengyu, who seemed to be on their side.
Therefore, in this exam, the two have always used their trustworthy subordinates from Ruihe Town and Hegu Township.
The previous incident in the Lin Mansion where a spy sold information to the men in black was actually done deliberately by the two of them. They asked the housekeeper Old Wu to find his most trusted servant to handle the matter.
As for the servants of the Lin Mansion, the first thing the two men did when they came in was to improve their treatment and remind them that they were one with them, and that they would prosper together and suffer together.
Therefore, there are almost no spies in the Lin Mansion.
In this way, the two of them had a reliable force to rely on, and could save their energy to prepare for the exam.
There were quite a few people who signed up for this exam. Through Xiaojiu's information, Lin Tongxi knew that most of these people were just unqualified people who came to get Lei Liquan's money.
Even so, the two of them still invited him to live in the Lin Mansion for the purpose of publicity!
Even so, with so many people signing up, it still created a lot of obstacles for the two of them to compile the exam content.
After much deliberation, Lin Tongxi decided to use a surprise attack and not be led by Lei Liquan's trick.
"Have you found out the content of the exam?" Lei Liquan asked Pan Yue.
Pan Yue shook his head and said that he had sent people to observe Lin Tongxi and others for a long time and found that they had not made any move to compile the test papers.
"That's really strange. Could it be that Lin Tongxi plans to use an oral exam?" Lei Liquan was becoming increasingly unable to understand Lin Tongxi.
Before, Lei Liquan thought he was just an ordinary country boy who helped Chen Yunxuan become the county magistrate by luck.
After seeing Lin Tongxi's methods, Lei Liquan also changed his opinion of this person.
"Hmph! Let's see what tricks this kid comes up with!" Lei Liquan decided to wait and see for a while. After all, the exam had just begun and he didn't have much information yet.
If Lin Tongxi was perfunctory and favored others, Lei Liquan would definitely unite with the local gentry to make trouble.
On the morning of the first day of the exam, the candidates walked into the yard and sat in their seats.
"Tie your eyes! Plug your ears!" Lin Tongxi, the chief examiner, immediately gave the order.
The candidates looked at each other in confusion. What was Lin Tongxi trying to do?
Although Ye Moqing and other candidates were confused, they obeyed Lin Tongxi's orders and took the initiative to reduce their vision and hearing.
Lei Liquan wanted to speak, but was glared at by Chen Yunxuan.
Lu Fengyu, who was watching the fun on the side, drank his tea calmly, looking forward to the next exam content.
Afterwards, Lin Tongxi began the first round of examination content: reading!
Zhu Li walked up to candidate number one, untied his restraints, and started asking questions. Lin Tongxi watched from the side, Chen Yunxuan was in charge of command, and Yue Lingyun was responsible for maintaining order.
"Read this sentence." Zhu Li gave the order.
"Uh...official...government..." Candidate No. 1 stammered, obviously not familiar with the words in the book.
"Explain what it means." Zhu Li continued to ask, but the other party couldn't even understand it, so how could he answer it!
As a result, candidate number one was quickly eliminated.
Zhu Li confiscated the registration form, and then signed and fingerprinted the eliminated candidates.
The candidate thought that this agonizing process was about to end, but Zhu Li took him before three county officials and repeated the questions.
When Lei Liquan saw that candidate number one couldn't even recognize such a simple word, his face turned green.
"Sir, please sign here and press your fingerprint." Zhu Li reminded Lei Liquan.
Damn it, Lei Liquan didn’t expect Lin Tongxi to have this trick!
If I sign and declare like this, it will be difficult for me to join forces with the gentry to cause trouble for him in the future!
"Master Lei, what's wrong?" Chen Yunxuan urged Lei Liquan when he saw that he was reluctant to start writing.
"Although this candidate can hardly read, perhaps Lord Lei admires him very much and wants to recruit him." Lu Fengyu crossed his arms and joked as if he was watching a show.
"...Lord Lu is such a joker. I always obey the county magistrate and recruit people based on their talents. How could I accept such a mediocre person?" After saying that, Lei Liquan signed reluctantly and pressed his fingerprints.
"Lord Lu, please come in." Zhu Li took it, and Lu Fengyu did as he was told readily.
Only after Chen Yunxuan drew a big cross on the registration form, signed and pressed his fingerprint, was this candidate officially eliminated.
Jiang Jiadao took it, saved it, and recorded the failed candidates in the registration book.
While Zhu Li was filling out the registration form, Su Ruoxue took over his job and asked candidate number two, while Lin Tongxi supervised from the side.
Candidate No. 2 was relatively lucky and managed to make it to the third question, which was to summarize the original meaning of the document and write down the key points.
Lin Tongxi and Su Ruoxue looked at each other, nodded, and then took it to the three county magistrates for confirmation.
...After this round, most of the candidates were eliminated, leaving only thirty people.
It only took one hour to eliminate so many people. Lei Liquan was stunned.
Lei Liquan didn't expect that the difficult problem he posed to the two of them could be solved so easily and quickly, and even turned the tables on him, Lei Liquan.
Just as the second round of exams was about to begin, Lei Liquan suddenly interrupted the test: "Sir, I feel unwell and would like to return to my residence to rest."
After all, Lei Liquan is an old fox who has been in Guangyang County for many years. How could he be dragged away by these two young brats!
