Wei and Jin cooks

When the time came, someone rang the bell. Zhao Hanzhang pointed his finger, and a government official immediately stepped forward to collect the papers.

The candidates sighed and looked at each other. Seeing that everyone's face was dark and their brows were furrowed, they knew that the other person's answer was not very good, so they reluctantly gained some confidence.

Zhao Yunxin couldn't bear it anymore at first. Just after the roll was taken up, she turned to Sun Linghui and asked, "Cousin, how did you answer?"

Sun Linghui looked calm, but tightened the pen in his hand, "I, I haven't finished writing..."

Zhao Yunxin looked at her with sympathy, "Although I didn't answer well, I finally finished writing."

The man on the side heard the two people talking, snorted coldly, raised his head proudly and left, "What kind of official exam does a woman want to take?"

Zhao Yunxin's face sank, and she immediately chased after him and stood in front of him, "What do you mean? What happened to the woman? We, Zhao Juncheng, are women!"

"If you don't like women, why did you come to Runan County to take the exam?"

The other party's face darkened and he said: "I am here to be an examiner for the people of the world, not because of her Zhao Hanzhang. Besides, how can you compare to Zhao Hanzhang? You can't even finish such a simple question, do you have the nerve to refer to it?"

"You!" Sun Linghui hurriedly grabbed the angry Zhao Yunxin and whispered: "You are still in the examination room. Your third sister must not have left yet. Don't make trouble."

Zhao Yunxin's face turned red, "Just let him be so humiliated?"

Sun Linghui was not a good-tempered person either. Hearing this, he whispered: "Let's let him go for now and wait until the results come back."

She said: "If we pass, this matter will be over. We adults don't remember the mistakes of villains. If we fail the exam, huh, then we will find a way to beat him up to vent his anger."

Zhao Yunxin felt that what she said made sense, but she was a little scared and worried, "I'm still teaching in the school. If the third sister finds out about the fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the school."

Sun Linghui whispered: "When the time comes, we will cover our faces and put a sack on him."

This is a good idea. Zhao Yunxin nodded immediately. When he looked up at the other party, his eyes were cold but no longer angry. "I'll let you go today. Tell me, what's your name?"

Seeing the two of them muttering for a while, the other party let him go. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes, glanced at Sun Linghui and said, "I won't change my name, but I won't change my surname. I'm Pingyu Chen Heng."

"Chen Heng, right? I remember you!"

Zhao Hanzhang was reading papers in the back hall. Fu Tinghan, Ji Yuan and Zhao Ming were all here. Hearing the noise in front, he couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Hanzhang asked people to go out to see it. After a while, the Yamen servant came back and described everything that happened before.

Zhao Hanzhang rummaged through a pile of papers, "Chen Heng, right? Let me see how good he is."

Zhao Ming glanced at her and reached out to hand over a paper.

Zhao Hanzhang took it, and it was marked with his place of origin and name. It was Chen Heng from Pingyu County, Runan County.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced down, with a strange look on her face. She looked at Zhao Ming suspiciously, "Could it be that they have the same name?"

"They can't even have the same place of origin," Zhao Ming said, "and the names are also the same."

Zhao Hanzhang took the paper and clicked his tongue twice, "This brother is average, but he has quite a lot of self-confidence."

There are a few lines of words written sparsely on the paper, and the words are quite ugly. At first glance, it looks like someone who has no ideas.

However, Zhao Hanzhang still read the paper carefully. She did not give it to Ji Yuan and Fu Tinghan, but directly threw it into the bamboo basket aside.

Fu Tinghan was very curious, picked it up, took a look, and then put it down silently.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him and said happily, "Are you familiar with such a student? No matter how well he actually did in the exam, he must first show full confidence and then hit other students. If he succeeds, he will be interviewed next. The success rate is very high.”

Fu Tinghan: "But now he doesn't even have a chance to interview."

"That's true," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile, "it's quite a pity."

Zhao Ming raised his eyelids and looked at her, frowning, "Why do you admire such a cunning and slippery person? How did your teachers teach you in the past? How come you, an upright and humble gentleman like your uncle..."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him in a flattering way, not afraid or ashamed.

Zhao Ming rubbed his forehead and said, "I heard that you have a new servant named Wu Sheng, and he is too clever."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "I don't plan to keep him by my side for too long."

She smiled and said: "He is a very useful talent. He is of little use when he is around me, so let him learn with me for a while and then let him go."

Zhao Ming was stunned. He looked down on Wu Sheng, but he didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to think so highly of him.

He asked: "Does he have any abilities that are different from ordinary people?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "Does being close to someone count?"

"What?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's easy to fall in love with him after chatting with him. He is kind, has a strong will to survive, and learns things very quickly."

Zhao Ming: "...What kind of advantage is this?"

Zhao Hanzhang said seriously: "This is a very important advantage."

"You said he was kind, but I heard that before you took him in, he stole other people's young crops."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "Yes, after all, this is our official fault. If we didn't push the people to the extreme, why would they do such a shameful thing?"

Zhao Ming:......

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "However, although he is suspected of stealing, he is not a bad person."

"There are so many families in the village, and there are many families who are more disadvantaged than him, but he didn't steal from anyone. He stole from the village chief's family with the best family income." Zhao Hanzhang said: "For other families, if they lose this handful of young crops, they may What he loses is his life, but the village chief’s family doesn’t know how to do it, and he can survive with this handful of green seedlings.”

Zhao Ming still frowned, "Is it okay to steal the young crops from the village chief's house and damage his urine? Stealing is stealing, why bother to find a reason for him?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "I didn't give him a reason. He did something wrong. But Uncle Ming, I am not a criminal who only judges right and wrong. I am the county magistrate and their parent. What I want to think about is why he did what he did." Such a thing, how can I prevent other people from doing such a thing again..."

"After finding out the reason, I am the chief culprit, so he needs to be punished, but County Magistrate Gao and I deserve to be punished even more. If I hadn't made the people deprived of food and clothing, this kind of thing would not have happened. Moreover," Zhao Hanzhang said with a serious expression. He became more solemn and said in a low voice: "Except for a few people with a very high sense of morality, the morality of the vast majority of people is based on the situation where survival resources can protect themselves."

"If survival cannot be guaranteed, it is possible to exchange children for food, let alone just steal young crops?" Zhao Hanzhang said softly: "I give him this opportunity, but I am actually giving myself a chance."

Zhao Ming was about to speak when he suddenly heard sobs coming from nowhere. He paused and looked around, and saw a figure kneeling down behind a curtain.

Zhao Ming:......

He turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang.

See you tomorrow
