Chapter 11 Discovering the Clues

The group of private schools in front of us that were rejected had only six teachers and students. The students were all between eight and nine years old. They were the Jiang family private schools in Tada Town, opened by an old scholar.

The young master who led the team was the son of the old scholar Jiang, and the young scholar Jiang was also a very good scholar. It was said that he was expected to pass the imperial examination next year.

The Jiang family private school is famous throughout Laichang County because of its talented students. It is comparable to public academies. Families in several nearby villages are more willing to send their children to the Jiang family school.

Because the Jiang Family Private School's results in every assessment are very good, of course, Shu Xiu is a few percent more expensive than other schools, and Jiang Changan's uncle and his two cousins ​​from his third uncle's family studied in the Jiang Family Private School.

When Jiang Xiaoxiucai heard the sound, he turned around and saw Master Song, but he looked suspicious. How could the general documents of his private school end up in the hands of Master Song from the private school on the mountain?

Some private schools in Laichang County often hold poetry gatherings such as intellectual exchange competitions, and most of the teachers in each private school know each other.

Master Song rarely brought his students to such poetry gatherings, but he was familiar with Old Master Jiang, and Jiang Xiaoxiucai also knew Master Song somewhat. He could not maliciously steal their documents because of competition among students.

Jiang Xiaoxiucai was also very sure that his documents were taken away during the conflict with the gangsters.

"Mr. Song." Mr. Song himself is very knowledgeable, but his teaching methods are not very strict. He takes the students in his hands all day long and plays with them. Jiang Xiaoxiucai does not agree with this method, but he has never taught too much. put one's oar in.

"Nephew Jiang Xian, we are late, don't mind." Master Song directly handed over the document in his hand.

Jiang Xiaoxiucai took it and took a look. Ha! It was amazing! It did have the names of students from their private school, and of course those from the private school on the mountain.

"What?" What is going on? Why are the places for two private schools listed on the same document? But they are two separate schools. How did Master Song do it?

Master Song nodded meaningfully, of course it was done with money, Jiang Xiaoxiucai didn't know.

At first, Mr. Song just mentioned it to Mr. Jiang, who came up with this method to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. Unexpectedly, he actually used it.

"Go in." Master Song swaggered forward with his hands behind his back, followed closely by his students.

Jiang Xiaoxiucai regained his composure, bowed to Master Song's back, then waved to his five students and walked forward together.

"Stop, Wen..." The guard quickly reached out to stop him, but before he could finish his words, Master Song slapped a piece of paper in his face.

These people really made Old Master Song angry. This is a bullshit assessment method. They simply threw all the dignity of scholars to the ground and rubbed them. Like a group of beggars robbing fat, they treated all the students and teachers as dogs. , it is simply insulting to politeness.

He wanted to see what the censor from Beijing and the county magistrate Chen Zhong were going to do?! Has the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty been corrupted to this extent?

The guard picked up the document and looked at it. Sure enough, there were the names of two private schools and two big red seals of the Yamen. He was speechless for a moment.

They were just agents of the yamen. They really had no control over what the clerk in charge was doing, so they had no choice but to let people pass.

When Jiang Xiaoxiucai passed by, he took back the document in the guard's hand and snorted coldly, "You villain! It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, just wait for him!"

Finally, the teachers and students of the two private schools passed the guards at the door and stepped onto the assessment site openly and openly.

The calm scene inside the venue is completely different from the chaos outside.

The Nine-winding Corridor is very wide and long, with two paths, exiting from the left and entering from the right. Along the way are lush and lush lotus fields, which are extremely beautiful.

However, those who entered on the right were all well-dressed teachers and students. While they were chatting and laughing, they did not forget to point out some students who looked embarrassed.

So the teachers and students who were embarrassed and embarrassed simply walked to the opposite side of the glamorous students and walked directly from the corridor on the left, forming a sharp contrast between the two groups.

As for the private school on the mountain, Master Song would of course take the left side.

"Sir, shall we go to the right?" Both Shen brothers wanted to go to the right. They obviously didn't want to walk with those shabby people and be excluded from the glamorous academy.

"Go to the left!" Jiang Changan eagerly pulled Master Song's sleeve.

"What do you know, you idiot? If you choose the left, what if we are assigned to the opposite side of the academy? The academy is a library with thousands of books and is very knowledgeable. Do you think those shabby rural private schools can compare?"

Shen Yujiao forgot that she was just a private school in the countryside, and simply stopped and refused to leave.

"Go to the left." Jiang Changan insisted on walking to the left without any unnecessary explanation. After all, his life was at stake.

"Humph!" Before the two could argue, Jiang Xiaoxiucai led his students and bowed their hands towards Master Song and walked resolutely to the left.

They have long been excluded by those people and are competitors. Is it useful to curry favor with those people now? Is it shameless? Where is the pride of scholars?

"Anything is fine, you can go whichever way you want, the end point is the same anyway." Master Song smiled and walked towards the left.

Their embarrassment has become a joke to others, but isn't it also the scenery in their eyes? They need to observe the same, there is no difference, right?

The Master all walked to the left, so of course the Shen brothers and sisters had no choice but to walk to the left reluctantly, otherwise others would say that they had deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, right?

"Why do you have to go to the left?" Li Shushen looked around and found nothing unusual? He couldn't help but ask Jiang Changan in a low voice.

With Master Song's skill, of course he heard it, so he curiously waited for Jiang Changan's next words. Why didn't this child want to be related to a wealthy student?

"When was this corridor built?" Jiang Changan did not answer directly, but asked about the wooden bridge corridor.

Jiang Changan's question immediately gave Li Shushen a bad premonition. He suddenly remembered that the bridge collapsed not long ago in his previous life. Of course, no one died because the water in the lotus field was not deep at all.

However, the carpenter who built the bridge was exiled, because it was the county magistrate and his group who jumped into the field, so it couldn't be exactly what he thought, right?

"It was built two years ago. Is there any problem?" If this girl could see the problem at a glance, that would be amazing.

"Yes, there is something wrong with the structure of the bridge. This supporting structure cannot bear force. The upper level of the corridor is too heavy, and all the pressure is placed on the wooden piers of the bridge, which are just soaked in water.

There is no waterproofing treatment, and no matter how good the wood is, it is easy to rot. Did you see that the bridge pier on the right has turned black? At this level, it seems that it cannot withstand even a slightly heavier pressure, and the corridor can collapse at any time." Jiang Changan

The clues can be seen at a glance.

"Tsk, if you want to go swimming in the lotus field, that's fine." Jiang Changan shrugged. Inexplicably, she trusted Li Shushen. It was just a small show of his skills. There was no need to worry about what this person could do to her.

Li Shushen was dumbfounded. Jiang Changan really got it right. The county magistrate fell into a ditch while riding in a sedan chair. It would be strange if he didn't jump with the weight of four people carrying the sedan chair.

It’s confirmed, the little monster Jiang Changan is really capable, so what will she do next? It’s getting more and more interesting, I’m looking forward to it.

Even Master Song was secretly surprised. He had never discovered that this little Chang'an really had carpentry skills. Could it be that Old Man Jiang was really a secretive? Is he really the 101st successor of Lu Ban?

"Is it okay if the left side is bright?" The bridge pier on the left is also dark. It was built in the same period. Why is it different? He has never been exposed to carpentry. Li Shushen really can't understand the way.

"It can be seen from the wear and tear of the bridge deck that there are usually more people walking on the right side, so it breaks down faster; the left side has also been reinforced. It should be that it was not repaired when it was first built. A layer of protection was added, but it is still a little damaged.

Useful."

"Then let's be careful when the time comes. Hey, little idiot, are you interested in killing everyone in the next assessment?" Li Shushen used a charming voice to induce Jiang Changan.
