Chapter 181 Rumors
"Master, something is wrong!" Yiyi ran into the door in a panic, with a panicked expression.

"Shut up!" Wen Xin's heart sank, she just thought that it was the fact that Shi Huaishan sent a message to the palace, so she quickly closed the door and dragged Yiyi into the room.

"What's the matter?" Shi Huaishan raised his head from the book.

"Master, why are you still reading after the exam?" Wen Xin said, and then pushed Yi Yi forward, "Quickly explain in detail."

The matter was urgent, Yi Yi didn't care too much, and hurriedly told Shi Huaishan the news he found out when he went out.

It's been around for a while, but it's been especially widespread these days.

Shi Huaishan and Wen Xin thought of going together, thinking that the news that he had sent a message to the palace was seized by others and publicized, and now the trouble is out of control.I couldn't help but feel very guilty towards Luo Chuchu, thinking about how to minimize the impact of this matter.

Unexpectedly, when Ting Yiyi spoke out indignantly about the rumors outside, Shi Huaishan gradually relaxed and even laughed out loud.

Yi Yi asked in surprise, "My lord, what's the matter with you?" Could it be that you laughed out of anger at those slanderous remarks?

Shi Huaishan restrained his smile, and said in relief: "It's okay, you can do your own thing, but it's better not to go out these few days, if I get involved and you get scolded, I will feel very sorry."

Yi Yi worried: "My lord, is this really all right?"

Shi Huaishan said in a calm tone: "What should be done is what should be done. Once the list is released, go to the palace to go to the king's prelude, and it will naturally clarify, which is better than clarifying by yourself."

Yi Yi and Wen Xin leave with doubts.

It turned out that after Han Shouyue got Shi Huaishan's information, he invited people to publicize it in the neighborhood, making up random stories to add fuel to the story.It is said that Shi Huaishan was greedy for vanity, in order to be able to enter the palace and hide his original identity, he had done a lot of evil things in the past, etc., which made Shi Huaishan's reputation very bad.

No one knew about Huaishan's pseudonym Wu Huaishan at the time, but he opened a meat pie shop under a pseudonym, and exchanged identities with Li Huaishan under this name, which was leaked out.

At that time, Han Shouyue was also among Shi Huaishan's meat pie deliverers, and he recognized Shi Huaishan's voice, and after contacting him, he knew that he entered the palace in place of Li Huaishan's name.

Originally, Huaishan had told Luo Chuchu all this when he met Luo Chuchu, and even Yan Wenmao knew about it, so it was considered that he had passed the Ming Road, and there was no hindrance at all.

Even if the planning is good, the reputation can not only be reversed, but also go further.

To become an official, you must have a reputation. Famous people will pay attention to them, and they will be looked at more often for what they do, and it is easy to get a chance for promotion.

After a few days passed, it was time to release the list.

Shi Huaishan changed his clothes early and went out with Yi Yi and Wen Xin, both of them looked haggard.

Although Shi Huaishan told them not to worry, but the city of the two people is not as good as Shi Huaishan, how can they not care about the evil words?In order to keep Shi Huaishan from worrying, he kept all his worries in his stomach and became more and more aggrieved.

Since Shi Huaishan has not come out to clarify the rumors so far, people passing by after he walked out looked at him strangely.

Shi Huaishan didn't care, he used to be a beggar, if he cared so much about his reputation, he might as well bump his head to death.

It was already early for him to go out, but everyone was concerned about the release of the rankings. Some people stayed at the gate of the government all night, just waiting to see the rankings as soon as possible.

When Shi Huaishan passed by, he found Feng Dengyun waving at him inside: "Brother Shi, come quickly!"

Feng Dengyun brought a strong boy and replaced Shi Huaishan, and everyone couldn't say anything. They wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Shi Huaishan, but because he was Luo Chuchu's face, they didn't dare to say more. Word.

"The Royal List is here!"

There was a commotion from far to near, and the crowd hurriedly squeezed to make way for the officials to go in and post the imperial list.

As soon as the officials left, the crowd rushed forward like hungry dogs grabbing food, eagerly looking at the names on the list.

Shi Huaishan and Feng Dengyun were relaxed, and they scanned the top, and found their name among the 30 people who could participate in the palace examination.

"Oh, I'm not as far away as Brother Shi!" Feng Dengyun saw that he was No.8, and there was no surprise on his face.

Shi Huaishan is No.2, he is quite satisfied with this ranking.

The two of them were about to leave when they finished watching, when someone next to them grabbed Shi Huaishan's sleeve: "You despicable bastard!"

Shi Huaishan took a closer look, and it turned out to be Li Huaishan who exchanged identities with him that day.

Li Huaishan was also an examinee this year, so he naturally stayed in the capital to wait for the results to be announced.

He hangs around the brothel music workshop all day long, but he is well informed, he has heard the rumors that Shi Huaishan is an imposter.At the beginning, I was a little scared, for fear that people would find out about his involvement in the impostor and arrest him.

Later, some friends who met Li Huaishan heard that Li Huaishan was the one who exchanged identities with Shi Huaishan, and they all complimented him for not admiring the rich and powerful.

Li Huaishan was blown away by these people's words, and his tone naturally became louder, saying that he didn't care about the glory and wealth obtained by selling his body, and that he had to rely on his own efforts to become a high-ranking official with less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

His rhetoric convinced some scholars, who surrounded him all day long, asking for advice, and taking notes from time to time, making Li Huaishan look like a famous scholar, which made Li Huaishan very useful.

He gradually changed his views on Shi Huaishan. After all, Shi Huaishan's practice of selling his appearance was despised by others, or the path he walked was more upright. Amidst the praise, Li Huaishan had already begun to imagine what it would be like if he won the first prize. What kind of scenery, at that time, he can teach Shi Huaishan condescendingly.

When the list was released today, Li Huaishan got up very early and came in the middle of the night, wanting to see the imperial list as soon as possible.

But after looking up and down the list several times, he couldn't find his own name, instead Shi Huaishan's name hung high on it.

The scholars around him all looked at Li Huaishan with contemptuous eyes, as if they were saying: "I know I'm talking big, but it's not that I lost my name. After all, it's not as good as Shi Huaishan. He is at least No.2."

Li Huaishan couldn't bear the eyes of his companion, when he saw that Huaishan was about to leave, his blood surged up, he stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?" Shi Huaishan frowned.

Calling him a despicable person when he comes up is really insulting to the gentleman.

Li Huaishankou said without hesitation: "If you hadn't tricked me into exchanging identities with you, how could it be possible to enter the palace to meet His Majesty? Now you are on the list, but I am not on the list. Your ranking should be mine!"

His eyes were red, but he couldn't see the clarity and pride at that time.

Shi Huaishan only thought his words were very funny, and said: "What does this matter have to do with the ranking on the list? You didn't pass the exam yourself, but you blame others instead?"
