In the slightly dark cell, with the sound of the cell door opening.

Tang Ruocheng, who was wearing wooden shackles and anklets, slowly walked out of the cell. Soon a yamen officer came forward to help Tang Ruocheng untie the wooden shackles on his hands and the iron chains on his feet.

Tang Ruocheng, who regained his freedom, walked towards the outside of the prison.

The sun was shining down, and Tang Ruocheng blocked the slightly dazzling sunlight with his hand. He looked outside and saw Huang Tinghui, Fatty Gong and a few others waiting outside the cell, waiting for his mountain chief to walk out of the prison.

"Tinghui!"

"Zicheng!!" Tang Ruocheng said excitedly as he looked at Huang Tinghui and Fatty Gong.

Since the founding of the Royal Guards, few people who enter the cells of the Royal Guards can come out of the cells alive.

Tang Ruocheng knew that the reason why he was able to walk out of this cell was definitely due to the contribution of Huang Tinghui and Fatty Gong.

So when Tang Ruocheng saw Huang Tinghui and Fatty Gong, he showed a knowing smile.

If a person can have two disciples who care about him so much in his life, what else can he not be satisfied with?

"Chief!" When Huang Tinghui saw Tang Ruocheng walking out from the cell, he also bowed to Tang Ruocheng respectfully.

Gong Zicheng also followed suit.

"This disaster would have happened if Tinghui and Zicheng had not happened!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to die in this cell!"

Tang Ruocheng took Gong Zicheng and Huang Tinghui's hands and said.

My gratitude to Huang Tinghui and Gong Zicheng is beyond words.

Fatty Gong was sensible at this time, and he also knew that he was not of much help in this matter.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said to Tang Ruocheng, "Shan Chief, this is all the result of Ting Hui!"

"If Tinghui hadn't figured out a way to check the ledger!"

"It seems to be screaming, it is screaming..." With a flash of inspiration, Fatty Gong seemed to remember the accounting method. He said to Tang Ruocheng, "That accounting method is called double-entry accounting!"

"This method works!"

"There is a warehouse full of ledgers, so I had to ask Tinghui to lead a group of accounting gentlemen to sort out the ledgers in five days!"

"We also caught the person who was hiding behind his back and causing trouble!"

"Ting Hui is really amazing!" Fatty Gong said, patting his chest.

It was as if he was the one who sorted out the account books and caught the black hands hiding behind his back.

When Tang Ruocheng heard what Fatty Gong said, he also stroked his beard and laughed.

"Tinghui's wisdom!"

"I have seen it a long time ago. If Tinghui steps into the court in the future."

"He must be a pillar of talent!" At this point, Tang Ruocheng seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly said to Huang Tinghui, "Tinghui, we don't have much time left before Qiu Wei!!"

"Tinghui, you have been busy for such a long time because of your duties as a teacher!"

"If nothing happens right now, the mountain chief will find you a teacher!"

"How about I prepare you for the exam?" After all, he is Huang Tinghui's mountain chief. For this proud disciple, the mountain chief is still most concerned about his academic problems.

What's more, Huang Tinghui saved his life this time, so he should help him on the road to the imperial examination.

Hearing what the mountain chief said, Huang Tinghui quickly thanked the mountain chief, "Tinghui, thank you, the mountain chief!"

The so-called rural examination is also one of the ancient imperial examinations.

In the previous dynasty, it was called "Xiang Gong" and also called "Jie Shi".

Examinations for local people are held by various prefectures and governments and are usually held in August, so it is also called "Autumn Wei".

The two dynasties before the Dasheng Dynasty set the rural examination as every three years and held it in the capital of each state (including the capital).

All the students, supervisors, yin students, official students, and tribute students of this prefecture, who have passed the scientific examination, age examination, and legacy records, can take the examination.

It is the Zhengke exam in the year of Zi, Wu, Mao and You. It is the Enke exam when there are celebrations and extra exams. The exam period is also in August.

The examiners in each state capital are appointed by the emperor.

The first person in the mid-term examination is called "Ju Ren", the first person is called "Jie Yuan", the second person is called Ya Yuan, the third, fourth and fifth person is called Jing Kui, and the sixth person is called Ya Kui.

Candidates who are selected for the mid-term examination are, in principle, qualified to elect officials.

All candidates who pass the mid-level examination can participate in the joint examination held in the capital the following year.

Therefore, for scholars, this exam is a top priority.

After all, there is a huge difference in status between a poor scholar and a successful official.

It's no wonder that Fan Jin in the book "The Scholars", before he passed the examination, even though he was a scholar, his pig-killing father-in-law and the neighbors looked down upon him.

The appearance of.

When Fan Jin was admitted to the imperial examination, his cheap father-in-law was busy trying to accommodate him.

And the neighbors cheered him up, and even the squire gave him a house as a gift.

It is precisely for this reason that the mountain chief attaches great importance to the upcoming provincial examination.

I hope Huang Tinghui can shine in this provincial examination.

It’s best to win in one fell swoop!

"Well!" The mountain leader touched his beard and looked at Huang Tinghui with some relief.

Just when he was about to say a few more words to Huang Tinghui, someone rode towards him.

"Master Huang!"

"Master Huang!!" Hearing the voice of the visitor, Huang Tinghui turned around and saw that if the visitor was not the entourage of Zhang Derong, deputy director of the East Factory, who was he?

Just the first time he saw that person, Huang Tinghui had already guessed why he was here.

However, Huang Tinghui still said to the man respectfully, "Eunuch Liu!"

"I came here in such a hurry to look for Tinghui, but what's the matter?"

The Dongchang eunuch didn't appear to be condescending in front of Huang Tinghui.

After all, the young man in front of him seemed to be quite popular with the factory governor, and he did not dare to show off in front of Huang Tinghui.

The man fell off his horse, then raised his hands to Huang Tinghui and said, "Master Huang!"

"It's the factory governor!"

"The factory supervisor expected that Mr. Huang's mentor should be released from prison now!"

"The factory supervisor thinks that Mr. Huang should not be disturbed to reminisce with your mentor at this time!"

"But the factory governor will soon escort the prisoners named Lin and Dong to the capital to await the fate of the Holy Emperor!"

"The factory governor can't stay here in Hangcheng Mansion for much longer!"

"Therefore, the factory governor sent a villain to look for Mr. Huang. He has something to say to Mr. Huang!"

In fact, Huang Tinghui could guess what Zhang Derong, deputy director of the East Factory, was thinking without the father-in-law saying so.

Although Huang Tinghui is just a scholar now, he is also someone who plans for a rainy day.

What if Zhang Derong, the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory, went back so arrogantly without sending anyone to look for him?

Then if Huang Tinghui can really make progress in his official career in the future.

He would not have too close contact with Zhang Derong, the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory.

Now that his status is completely unequal to that of Dongchang Deputy Factory Supervisor Zhang Derong, he can send people to find him.

This can be regarded as passing the unique and secret "test" Huang Tinghui left for him.
