Regarding Lu Zheng’s failure, this matter was handled by Zhang Chengxi himself, and he changed the test papers himself, so there was no possibility of any mistakes.

This matter is strictly confidential. Apart from the parties involved, only Zhang’s mother and Mrs. Su were known.

However, Zhang Chengxi secretly had very obvious hints to the younger generations of the Zhang family. This hint is actually very simple. Just let the younger generations know that he has control over everything.

Since Zhang Chengxi controls everything, he naturally controls Lu Zheng's fate. How could he let Lu Zheng stand out from his position?

This is also why the younger generations of the Zhang family are all happy today, but no one mentions Lu Zheng. Zhang Chengxi must have done something in the county examination, but so what? The king defeats the enemy. When the results are released today, everyone will only remember the winner and only cheer for the winner. Lu Zheng is the loser, so who will pay attention to him?

Zhang Jing jumped out and made a frustration for Lu Zheng just a small episode, and it didn't affect the overall situation today at all.

Besides, Zhang Jing’s current status in the Zhang family is only a little higher than Lu Zheng. In the eyes of the old lady, it doesn’t matter whether Zhang Jing’s grandson is present or not.

Zhang Jing was ignored, and the atmosphere became warmer again. Tian Zepeng is the son-in-law of the Zhang family! This time, the two children of the Zhang family were on the top, and Tian Zepeng won the head of the case. It can be said that this time, the first scholar in the boy's examination was in the Zhang family. How can the atmosphere not be warm?

Zhang Chengxi also thought there were fewer firecrackers, so he asked someone to prepare more firecrackers. Zhang Jing and Hua Hanjun were invited to the front. The person who reported the good news later arrived, and they were responsible for giving silver rewards!

The old lady said: "The silver reward should be doubled!" The silver reward given by the old lady before was ten taels of silver per person, and doubled would be twenty taels of silver per person. If four or five people came to report the good news, Zhang Jing would be gone!

Zhang Jing's face looked ugly. He was uncomfortable buying a hundred taels of silver. If he was uncomfortable, no one would be happy. But he was unhappy but didn't care about the others. Everyone around him was lying around him!

In this cheerful atmosphere, the sound of gongs came from the street outside.

"Here, come, come, come here, come here, the one who announces the good news is here!" the servant at the gate of the yard shouted loudly.

From the main entrance of the Zhang family to the old lady's yard, people stood there, and from the outermost part, they were transmitted from the front to the Zhang family's yard, and the atmosphere in the yard reached its climax.

"Prepare quickly, take your place, listen to it. When the good news arrives, the gongs and firecrackers will ring! Don't be late!" Zhang Chengxi personally arranged the arrangement.

Those who set off firecrackers, those who wear red flowers, and those who give silver rewards are sure to be in place, and then everyone is waiting for the good news to come.

Generally, there are three to five people who report good news, while there are more than five people who report good news at the head of the case. In fact, this is not accurate. Generally speaking, the larger the team that reports good news, the greater the joy, which is correct.

The team that announced the good news just came in through the main entrance, and everyone listened carefully. At first, it sounded as many as seven or eight gongs.

"Yes, yes, that's right! There are seven or eight sides of gongs!" said Xixiang, the girl beside the old lady.

The old lady nodded slightly, couldn't sit still, and slowly stood up. She held the dragon head crutch in her hand, her waist straightened, and her eyes looked outside.

The people who reported the good news came very quickly, and countless servants from the Zhang family surrounded them together.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sound of the gong was getting closer and closer, and he had reached the door of the yard.

Someone outside shouted: "It's time to announce the good news, it's time to announce the good news, it's time to be very happy, it's time to be very happy!"

Then, several gong-beating men rushed into the old lady's yard. Everyone saw clearly that there were ten gongs!

"Coax!" The audience cheered, everyone was ready. The followers around Tian Zepeng had pushed him to the front, and the big red flower was already hanging around his neck.

The ten-sided gongs arrived and beat them on the open space for several rounds. The leader was about thirty years old, with a short figure, but a strong body, full of energy.

He shouted loudly: "It's a good news, it's a great joy. Mr. Lu Zheng of Zhang's mansion has won the first place in Zhongxian County, and the county tribute is the first to test the case!"

"OK!"

The cheers immediately sounded, and the old lady raised her crutch, and suddenly, as if she was bitten by a snake, her arm froze in the air.

Then Zhang Chengxi was smiling, but suddenly it seemed to be frozen in an instant, and all solidified on his face. Tian Zepeng's followers had already lifted Tian Zepeng up and were about to throw it into the air to show their congratulations. Suddenly, they heard the word "Lu Zheng" and were all stunned.

"What's going on? Do something..."

Zhang Haoran was the first to rush out to verify. He grabbed the clothes of the person in charge with one hand, his face turned blue, and when he wanted to speak sternly, he was "bang"! "bang!"...

It turned out that the firecrackers were fired outside. What a good guy, firecrackers and firecrackers, there were seven or eight servants who set off firecrackers, and the firecrackers outside filled the entire courtyard.

When the explosion broke out, the entire yard was wrapped in smoke. The loud noise made it difficult for people in the yard to hear what the other party was saying.

When several people who reported the good news saw this kind of situation, they didn't doubt that they were there. They just thought that the master was so happy that they immediately stepped forward to ask for the good news.

Zhang Jing also heard the words Lu Zheng. He grabbed the silver notes in his hand and stuffed them into the hand of a young man who announced the good news. He shouted in his ears: "Did you just say that Lu Zheng was the leader of the case?"

The other party was stunned for a moment and shouted at Zhang Jing: "Who else can you be if it is not Mr. Lu Zheng? Mr. Lu Zheng in our county is the best and has the best talent. He deserves the first place in the case!"

Zhang Jing stomped his feet hard, took out all the silver notes that had been prepared long ago, and shouted loudly: "Come on one by one, you will receive rewards, and there will be rewards!"

Hua Hanjun stood beside him. When she heard another accurate confirmation, she widened her eyes and couldn't believe her ears.

"My God, what's going on? What methods did Brother Zheng use? Isn't everything under control of Uncle Second?

Judging from his second uncle's tone, he must have tampered with the test paper, or bribed someone to change the paper, otherwise how could he control the situation?

But now…” Hua Hanjun’s mind was turning a hundred times, but she couldn’t imagine how Lu Zheng turned the tables.

However, seeing Zhang Jing stuffing money for the good news, she also had a lot of money in her purse. She immediately took a few casually, without looking at the denomination on it, and stuffed it to several of them.

The firecrackers outside were exploding a little too much, and they couldn't stop for a while. The people who reported the good news collected the money and rushed to the next game, and they all turned around and ran away.

Zhang Chengxi stood up and stopped him. He grabbed one person, but the others didn't stop him at all. A group of people pounded the gong and rushed directly outside the Zhang family. When they arrived on the street, they finally started yelling:

"The Zhang family's Prince Lu Zheng's case is the first to take the county!"

On the streets near the Zhang family, pedestrians stopped when they heard the shouts. Someone who was unknown inside could not help but mutter: "Oh, this is a bit interesting. Shouldn't Zhang Junzi be Mr. Zhang? Why is Mr. Lu? Could it be that the surname Zhang and the surname Lu were mixed together?"

"Nothing strange. The Zhang family's own disciples have never been able to study. Mr. Lu is from Jiangning. He is from the Three Dukes. He was born as the Wenqu Star. Unexpectedly, the Zhang family now has benefits from him, and there is an additional scholar in the portal!"

All kinds of discussions revolved around Lu Zheng, a well-known talented man in Yangzhou. There were many people who knew him. Soon the news spread. The news of Lu Zheng's capture of the county trial case spread throughout the city.

In the yard of the old lady of the Zhang family, the firecrackers outside the yard finally stopped. After a few cups of tea, the firecrackers stopped ringing, and there was no sound in the yard. Everyone stared at each other, stunned, and stunned.

Zhang Chengxi caught a person who reported the good news. When the other party saw Zhang Chengxi wearing official uniform, he was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

He observed his expressions and saw that the expressions of the people in the yard were a little abnormal. He felt a little shocked, thinking that he had received a mistake?

"I dare to ask, does Mr. Lu Zheng live in Zhang's Mansion? Mr. Lu is the top of the high school county examination. This is a great joy!" The young man who reported the good news said loudly.

Zhang Chengxi took a breath and said angrily: "This...this is impossible!"

The young man's words confirmed that the previous good news was not nonsense, but this sentence directly gave Zhang Chengxi a fatal blow, and he could not believe that this was true.

How is this possible? He has replaced Lu Zheng’s test papers. The test papers he replaced must be defeated. How could Lu Zheng become the leader of the case?

This situation has exceeded his perception and made him unable to believe that it is true.

The old lady was completely confused, and Mrs. Su also opened her mouth wide. This was really incredible. Why is this?

"Haha, good! OK, Mr. Lu Zheng is young and talented, and has long been famous in Yangzhou. Today, he can be personally appointed as the head of the case by the county master. He deserves it, and he deserves it!" Wu Fu suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations, you have raised a good nephew! Mrs. Zhang, congratulations, you have raised a good nephew. I really didn't expect that the first scholar in this boy exam in Xinhe County was in the Zhang Mansion. This is a great joy!"

Wu Fu is notorious and has a smile on his face. He has been in the officialdom for a long time and is definitely at the level of a movie emperor. Even though he knew that Zhang Chengxi was confused now, he did not hesitate to sprinkle a few handfuls of salt on Zhang Chengxi's wounds.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be too happy. The guy who reported the good news will make a fortune today. It's not okay if you keep it with me!" Wu Fu said.

Zhang Chengxi glared at Wu Fu fiercely, and his eyes were about to spit out of fire, but reason told him that he could never do that. This is the Zhang family. Such a wealthy family as the Zhang family can lose anything, but he must not lose decency.

But the one named Wu was sprinkling salt on his wound, Zhang Chengxi was in pain!

"What can't be kept? Didn't it just delay his wedding money? Brother, this is one hundred taels. Today, as long as you promise to stay in my Zhang family, this one hundred taels will be yours! Do you keep it?" Zhang Jing waved the 100 taels of silver to the young man who announced the good news.

"Stay, stay! Not to mention staying for one day, I am willing to stay for one month!" The young man was overjoyed and happily accepted Zhang Jing's money, and immediately decided not to leave.
