Chapter 282 You can take care of yourself
In order to maintain the dignity of several scholars, Lord Lin granted them the right to be caned without having to take off their pants, and to carry out the execution in the backyard.
Those people had already dispersed and ran to the list to look at Jiang Youzhen's paper.
"Junior brother! You are too impulsive. The county magistrate is right. There is no first place in literature. If you really lose, not only will your reputation be damaged, but even the county magistrate will be criticized for it."
As soon as Wen Ruyu saw Jiang Youzhen coming out, he hurried forward and said.
Mr. Jiang also sighed. He was young and full of vigor. He had been worried that Jiang Youzhen would think highly of himself, but he didn't expect that he would really get into trouble this time.
"Brother, don't panic! You also said that there is no first place in literature! Even if I lose, it doesn't mean that I don't have the ability. Everyone has different preferences. Can anyone guarantee that whoever wins the first place will be the best in the world? It just happened to be the preference of the examiner!"
Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly and looked very calm.
But was she really calm? Actually, she wasn't that calm. She was cursing the system in her heart until she became autistic.
"You, Master, are you really going to set a trap for me, your host? Do you think this task is easy? I'm facing so many candidates, and they are not all outstanding, but there are also many talented people!
Jiang Youzhen was furious. If the system hadn't suddenly released a task that triggered an event and asked her to challenge so many candidates, how could she be so high-profile?
Originally, she didn't have to feel guilty. As long as the test papers were posted, even if there were still some sour remarks left, at least the matter was over.
She had achieved her goal of becoming famous, and this was a very safe approach, but who knew that the system would suddenly go awry and actually start a new task.
"If I really lose this time, not only will I become a laughing stock, but the county magistrate will also be dissatisfied with me. Wouldn't that be a slap in his face?"
[Host! As a lucky person who has a system, you are the darling of heaven! You are the only one in this world who has a system. Tell me, shouldn’t you work harder and become a better person so that you can match my excellent system? ]
"What? You are such a shameless bastard. Can you call it excellent? How come you can't make money with such excellent skills?"
[Dear host, please don't talk about money all the time. It hurts our feelings. Besides, the system task is just to sense that many people are dissatisfied with the host, and the negative emotion value is too high.
You are the chosen one by the system, how can you be looked down upon by so many people? Be brave and become a better version of yourself, the ring match is nothing but a piece of cake! 】
"You really don't have any waist pain when you talk while standing! Oh! No, do you have a waist?" Jiang Youzhen was speechless.
"Huh? That's not right! Aren't you a sign-in system? Where does this trigger task come from?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of this.
[Dear host, this is only an occasional task. It is within the system rules and does not violate the rules. In addition, the reward for this task is very generous, so please look forward to it! ]
It's another day that I'm teased by the system. Just keep making big promises every day! Humph!
Wen Ruyu was speechless for a long while. He found that Jiang Youzhen sometimes thought differently from normal people. Perhaps this was the uniqueness of genius? He really couldn't understand it.
"Hey! You can do whatever you want!" Wen Ruyu shook his head. He walked forward with big strides, and turned back after a moment and said, "Come on! Let's go back and discuss it. It's better to sharpen your weapons before the battle, even if it's quick!"
Master Jiang sighed repeatedly, this boy is indeed not an ordinary person.
Tong Huaian came to the backyard of the county government office with a livid face. When he saw Lin Jiuan rushing over in official attire, his face became even colder.
"Lord Lin!" He stood up and bowed. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he would never be impolite.
"Mr. Tong, why are you looking for me so anxiously? What's the important matter?" Lin Jiuan asked immediately.
"Lord Lin, was it Lord Lin who instigated today's incident behind the scenes? Or was it Lord Lin who did it?" Tong Huaian was very angry, so there was inevitably some hint of anger in his tone.
Lin Jiuan was about to sit down when he paused. "To be honest, this was indeed done by me. But I also had good intentions, in order to make Jiang Youzhen famous as soon as possible.
Master Tong has already known that the court has sent people to copy the essays of the top ten candidates, right? If he can be appreciated by the higher-ups and become famous, it will be a hundred benefits to Master Jiang!"
Lin Jiuan felt that he had done nothing wrong in this matter. The emergence of such a genius in Wen County was beneficial to his political achievements, and it was a win-win for both sides.
"But Lord Lin forgot that this girl cannot be judged by common sense. She is a smart person, and it may not take long for her to guess that you are the mastermind behind it, and then she will have a rift with the Fourth Master.
Besides, this matter is gradually out of Lord Lin's control. For example, if Jiang Youzhen loses, the Fourth Master will not be happy."
Tong Huaian was annoyed at Lin Jiuan's self-assertion, but although he was of a high status, he currently had no rank, so it was not appropriate for him to go too far.
Lin Jiuan secretly complained, but he was just using the Fourth Master as a shield. Who doesn't know that you and Jiang Youzhen are good friends? Aren't you just worried that Jiang Youzhen will lose?
"This kid is indeed impulsive. Originally, I meant to wait until it was almost done, and then post the test paper to silence the people, even if there are still some rumors.
Who would have thought that Jiang Youzhen would actually bring up a literary duel? He is still too young and doesn’t know his place.”
Tong Huaian immediately looked at Lin Jiuan with cold eyes, "Lord Lin may not know that Jiang Youzhen met the Fourth Master yesterday, and the Fourth Master admired him very much. He repeatedly told me to win over Jiang Youzhen."
Lin Jiuan was very surprised. This kid was indeed talented, but the Fourth Master shouldn't think so highly of him, right? Was there something he didn't know?
"The court will implement new reforms soon, and this has a lot to do with Jiang Youzhen. If the Fourth Master can get the credit for this, it's all because of Jiang Youzhen. If Jiang Youzhen loses his reputation this time and it's not good for his career, you'll completely ruin the Fourth Master's plan."
Tong Huaian stood by the window. He disliked Lin Jiuan very much because he was disobedient and liked to act on his own.
Lin Jiuan was shocked when he heard this. New policy reform? And it was related to Jiang Youzhen. He immediately asked, "Could it be that Jiang Youzhen proposed this?"
Tong Huaian sneered, "You'd better take care of yourself!"
He said as he strode away, but countless thoughts were running through his mind. This time he could really test Jiang Youzhen's ability. It would be great if she succeeded, after all, it was her ability that the Fourth Master valued.
If she loses, it will be a good blow to that kid to prevent her from getting too proud.
Lin Jiuan was feeling anxious in the study. He really didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be working for the Fourth Prince. He acted on his own this time, and Tong Huaian would definitely tell the Fourth Prince. For a moment, he was a little panicked.
A large group of people gathered in front of the list, crowded together, and some people had already started reading Jiang Youzhen's article aloud.
"If you put the people first, then the people are more important than the king. If you control the people's production, then you can protect the people and become the king!"
The man shook his head and read out the solution to the first question. However, just this one sentence caused an uproar in the audience.
"This boy is really arrogant. How dare he criticize the king?"
"Oh my! This is really crazy. Is this kid borrowing courage from God?"
