I Am a Late Bloomer In the World of Immortality Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Tricking tricks (please collect and read)

"Wei Tu?" Chen Zhixian stroked the three-inch beard under his chin, pondered for a while, and then ordered the clerk to bring the list of candidates for the martial arts examination to his desk.

At present, the Zhengguo court has enjoyed the state of Zuo for 263 years, and the official governance style is corrupt and far inferior to that of the previous dynasty.

Fraud in the imperial examinations occurred frequently in various provinces, prefectures and counties.

It is not limited to Qingshan County.

“But if this Wei Tu's performance is poor, the risk would still be too great if we find another reason to shirk it...” Chen Zhixian thought to himself as he rummaged through the roster.

Wen Wu is the first.

There is no second place in martial arts.

The martial arts examination is different from the literary examination, and unlike the article level, the level of the martial arts examination candidates can be clearly understood by even a layman.

The results in the three subjects of skill and bravery, horse shooting and infantry shooting, cannot be faked.

“It turned out to be an level score in stone lifting, and the scores in other subjects were also level. Only one sword-dancing subject got a slightly worse score, a B-level score...”

Zhixian Chen was slightly surprised for a moment when he saw the results of Wei Tu. Based on Wei Tu's results, he was the favorite to win the championship.

It can be seen that the purpose of the Huang family's gift to him was not to make Wei Tu be selected into the list and qualified to participate in the government examination, but to let him appoint Wei Tu as the leader of the county examination.

“Now there are only trials in the outfield and strategies in the infield…”

“Both of them can use their hands and feet.”

The county magistrate Chen knocked on the roster on the wooden case and asked the clerk to call the examiners for the county martial arts "competition test".

Afternoon.

The "test" in the outfield begins.

The "competition test" is the only practical assessment of the martial arts examination. If two people compete in pairs, they will be considered to be in the top ten if they are successfully promoted to the top ten.

As for the comparison of the martial arts skills of the top ten in the county examination and the government examination, we will not make a specific comparison in the county examination and the government examination. After all, fists and feet have no eyesight. There is no need for the candidates to be seriously injured in the county examination or the government examination.

Except for Wu Kuaishou, who is qualified to pass the government examination, there is no difference between the other candidates who have entered the list.

The second place and the last place are treated the same.

There is no need to distinguish between high and low.

During the Taoist examination, Wu scholars were treated differently, and only then would they be truly ranked.

“I hope that during the competition, I won't encounter those martial arts masters who dance swords and armor, otherwise…”

When the examiner began to divide the students into groups and read names, Wei Tu prayed secretly.

At the end of the day, he only practiced sword skills for less than half a year, and he had no actual combat experience during this period.

Therefore, whether it is performing "dance with the sword" or trying actual combat, there is a big gap between him and these wealthy martial arts masters who have been practicing sword skills since childhood.

soon.

In the "competition examination", the examiner has sorted out the martial arts masters who will fight against Wei Tu.

"I have no impression of this martial artist. It seems that he is not among the first-class martial artists." Wei Tu glanced at the martial artist, compared it with the list of martial artists in his mind, and thought.

Before starting the competition, the vendors in the City God's Temple would buy the scores of each martial artist from the officials and compile them into books for sale.

Among them, there is an assessment for martial arts masters who pass the first-class examination. They are called first-class martial arts masters and are the most popular candidates for admission.

"Ma Hong, a native of Wangdu Township, please ask the military master to keep his hand."

Soon, Wei Tu and the fighting martial artist entered the ring, and the two exchanged names.

However, Ma Hong obviously knew Wei Tu. After Wei Tu stepped onto the ring, his expression changed slightly and he cupped his fists.

“Changming Township Wei Tu.”

Wei Tu also clasped his fists and saluted.

After saluting.

The two immediately fought.

Lean less.

After a dozen moves, Wei Tu forced Ma Hong off the ring and won his first victory.

—The second-level sword-playing results are not considered weak. What he is afraid of is only the dozen or so martial arts masters who have achieved the first-level sword-playing results.

Next.

Several more battles. What surprised Wei Tu a little was that in every actual battle, the opponents assigned to him by the examiner were the same group of relatively weak martial arts masters.

"Could it be..." After the fifth competition, Wei Tu seemed to have thought of something. He paused on the stone steps of the ring and subconsciously looked at Mr. Huang among the gentry.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

In participating in the county martial arts competition this time, Wei Tu did not reveal his identity to the public except revealing to Huang Zhai that he was a disciple of Shan WuJu.

—He participated in the county martial arts competition and was not confident that he would be the leader. There is no need to talk about the background of individual martial arts competitions.

It can be seen from this that the examiner did not help Shan Wuju change his opponent based on his personal connections, but that there was someone else behind him who helped him.

Be able to influence the examiners of the county martial arts examination and be willing to help them...

His identity is naturally ready to be revealed.

Except Mr. Huang, who recognized him as a relative, no one met these conditions.

“Imperial examination fraud?” Wei Tu frowned.

—It's not that he doesn't mind seeing such dirty things, but he is worried that someone will use them to harm him.

For a powerful martial artist like him, making small moves would do more harm than good.

“I have become acquainted with Mr. Huang. Even if I have not accepted Mr. Huang's solicitation, he should not harm me...”

Thinking of this, Wei Tu shook his head and suppressed these distracting thoughts in his heart.

soon.

Several competitions have begun again.

Without encountering any masters in the county martial arts competition, Wei Tu had no pressure at all to win. He easily crushed them and ranked among the top ten in the final "competition".

As for these "little moves" discovered by Wei Tu, few of the martial arts masters present and the onlookers noticed.

After all, Wei Tu's performance before actual combat was not weak, and he was a popular candidate to be the leader of the martial arts. He could easily win against other martial arts masters.

“Wei Tu?”

Among the top ten, a young man with eyebrows on his temples took a deep look at Wei Tu standing next to him, his eyes slightly contemptuous.

Wei Tu tried to cheat, and no one else noticed it, but he was not one of them.

Because he was afraid of Wei Tu's strength, he kept a close eye on Wei Tu, observed Wei Tu's moves, and wanted to use this to formulate tactics...

Just unexpectedly…

During this period, he saw that Wei Tu might have cheated in the competition.

“Forget it, it's not a good thing for me to make too much noise.” Wei Fei shook his head and retracted his gaze from Wei Tu.

Reporting fraud in imperial examinations.

It targeted not only Wei Tu, but also officials of all sizes in Qingshan County.

He doesn't have the guts to do such a thing in the exam.

In addition, even if the report is successful.

His future will be ruined from now on.

Officials protect each other,

　　　 It has never been an empty lie.

After the show.

Weitu asked Mr. Huang to confirm his guess during the test.

The results were as expected.

Mr. Huang did say hello to Chen Zhixian during this martial arts competition.

“The county leader seems useless and only serves the purpose of ensuring the examination, but... in fact, when you are an official, the government will see that you are the county leader and will arrange some good military positions for you as appropriate..."

“Furthermore, even if I don't do this, other gentry will do it for their nephews.”

“I'd like to say hello to Magistrate Chen in advance, I just don't want you to get the grades you deserve because there is no bribe...so whereabouts...”

In the carriage, Mr. Huang and Wei Tu sat opposite each other, and he explained slowly.

Thank you very much for the 2000 starting coins for wine and sweet potato. I love to reward you.
