Fan Jin looked at Zhang Shilu and heard his vicious thoughts. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes slowly turned cold.
Now Fan Jin understood.
It was no wonder that the Nefarious Academy had threatened him with his cousin.
It seemed that he was up to no good by asking him to go to the Academy.
The Zhang family had their eyes on the position of the county chief.
He had to eliminate all possible variables.
Fan Jin was famous for his poems and had already gained some fame in the literati circles of Nanhai and Guangdong.
At the Wei family's cultural meeting, he asked the county magistrate to be present.
Fan Jin wrote a poem and consolidated his reputation.
When the time came, the county magistrate would take Fan Jin as the head of the county examination, which was also the first place. It was a logical matter.
The unwritten rule of the imperial examination was that the county chief must pass the government examination.
As long as he got the county case, Tong Sheng was a sure thing.
No wonder Zhang Shilu did not care about his dignity and suppressed him in front of the county head.
He used the power of the Zhang family to directly suppress Fan Jin.
It was all for the sake of this county chief.
It seemed like Zhang Shilu was determined to win the county examination.
But…
Was Zhang Shilu that ruthless?
No wonder when we arrived at Gaoyao County, you taught Tang Feng to pile the beef on the cangue, causing him to die.
When you were an official, you also used such vicious methods to kill many people, right?
You're here to target me, ruin my reputation, and ruin my future?
Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?
……
Although Wei Wenqing wasn't afraid of the Zhang Clan and Zhang Shilu, he didn't want to argue with Zhang Shilu.
However, he could not allow Zhang Shilu to humiliate his guest.
"Brother Zhang is a little too much…"
Zhang Shilu sneered." This place is known as a literary gathering. Everyone talks and laughs, and there are no ordinary people. Even if I don't have any achievements, my teacher is from a famous family. This Fan Jin is just a young villager. If he can participate with a poem, wouldn't he be dragging down this literary gathering? Moreover, it was still doubtful whether he had composed that poem himself.”
Li Ning stepped forward to smooth things over." Since Brother Zhang has doubts, why don't we ask Fan Jin to recite a poem on the spot? The topic can be decided by Brother Zhang. Is that fair?"”
Wei Wenqian was a little hesitant. Things were rushed, and he was young. If Fan Jin's poems were not of good quality, not only would Fan Jin lose face, but the Wei family's face would also be lost.
Wei Wenqian glanced at Fan Jin and saw him nod with a smile.
Wei Wenqian felt relieved.
Zhang Shilu's face was filled with uncertainty. He hesitated for a moment.
According to Zhang Shilu's plan after discussing it with his grandfather, it was to force Fan Jin into the Juanqin Academy.
Then, he put Fan Jin under house arrest and said that he was polishing Fan Jin's knowledge and was not allowed to participate in the county examination.
The Zhang Clan had made some moves with the County Lord, expressing their limited support for him.
The county chief would be in his hands.
Actually, Zhang Shilu was quite talented and well-known.
In addition, the Zhang family was determined to win this time.
This county chief was originally very confident.
But killing Fan Jin was an unknown variable...
In fact, Fan Jin had never considered these tricks. He only wanted to pass the county and capital examinations honestly.
However, the Zhang family and Zhang Shilu did not dare to take the risk. After all, with their power and status, holding Fan Jin down was as easy as pinching a bug.
Now that Zhang Shilu was facing a difficult problem, if this kid had real talent and knowledge, this time, he would once again help Fan Jin become famous...
Villains were intelligent too, not brainless.
However, County Magistrate Lin also had some complaints about Zhang Shilu's rudeness. He said,""In that case, let Fan Jin recite a poem. Brother Zhang, are you willing to give a topic?”
The meaning was obvious.
Since Zhang Shilu didn't come up with a topic, Fan Jin wrote one himself.
How could Zhang Shilu be willing? He sneered and said to Fan Jin,""Then let's use the tattered green robe as the title. There's no restriction on the rhyme.”
Everyone present frowned.
Zhang Shilu was being too disrespectful.
Everyone present was dressed in long robes. Only Fan Jin was dressed in a commoner's long robe. The scholar-bureaucrat's robe was long and wide. It was beautiful because it was wide and elegant.
The sleeves of ordinary people's clothes were much smaller, and the hem was also shorter.
It had to be convenient to do work or walk.
Fan Jin's robe was patched, and the cuffs were tight and the hem was short.
Originally, everyone felt that Fan Jin was a little celebrity who was interested in learning and had a talent for poetry.
With Zhang Shilu's emphasis, he felt like he was out of place.
Wei Haogu was so angry that his face turned red. He whispered to Fan Jin," Brother Fan Jin, I really want to beat him up..."
Fan Jin patted Wei Haogu and smiled at the worried Wei Wenqian and the others.
Then, he paced around.
The people present were the county head, the imperial scholar, the scholar, the famous scholar, and the aristocratic family.
In terms of identity, status, and clothing, Fan Jin could not compare.
However, Fan Jin, who was pacing in the field, attracted everyone's attention in a short moment.
He was confident and calm, and his temperament was elegant with a hint of mystery.
His eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were like paint.
His posture was tall and straight, like a green pine and bamboo. His demeanor was extraordinary, and everyone present felt a little pressure and a little ashamed of their inferiority.
Fan Jin was more outstanding.
Zhang Shilu became even more vigilant.
His face was filled with a cold smile.
When Fan Jin paced for a little longer, he would mock him and interrupt Fan Jin's thoughts.
