Li Qingzhi did not expect to completely get rid of Hong Hui with just a few words. After all, he had no solid evidence.
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, County Magistrate Gou came down from the second floor of the restaurant.
County Magistrate Gou always had a smile on his face and looked approachable, but at this moment, his chubby face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. The students present were a little embarrassed when they saw County Magistrate Gou. After all, not long ago, many of them had questioned County Magistrate Gou, and some even spoke ill of him.
They never expected that County Magistrate Gou was present!
I don’t know if County Magistrate Gou heard what they said before...
"Hong Hui, you have falsely accused an official of the imperial court. I will investigate this matter in detail!" County Magistrate Gou spoke coldly to Hong Hui.
Hong Hui's face turned pale instantly.
County Magistrate Gou then said, "I will have the answers of the candidates who took the county exam posted. Right and wrong will be judged by the public, and justice is in the hearts of the people."
The students from Chongcheng County lowered their heads and dared not speak.
After all, Hong Hui had made great achievements, so he did not have to kneel in court. County Magistrate Gou did not arrest him directly, but instead sent someone to investigate the matter.
In addition, because he had elevated today's incident to the level of someone framing an official appointed by the imperial court, he also needed to pass the news to the provincial capital and ask them to send people to investigate.
County Magistrate Gou had a lot of things to do, so he did not stay in the restaurant for long. He said hello to Li Qingzhi and left in a hurry.
County Magistrate Gou left, but the others did not.
The students of Chongcheng County all felt a little guilty: "The county magistrate is dedicated to serving the people and is fair. He is truly a rare good official!"
"It's all Hong Hui's fault!"
"Neither he nor Mr. Sun are good people!"
…
Hong Hui could no longer stay there and left in disgrace. The scholars who came from the provincial capital surrounded Li Qingzhi.
Li Qingzhi’s previous performance was too amazing, and they wanted to know how Li Qingzhi could memorize so many books.
They were very young and all planned to continue to take the imperial examinations, to pass the examinations for Juren and Jinshi. If they could memorize as many books as Li Qingzhi, why would they have to worry about failing the examinations
Li Qingzhi had just passed the county exam and was not even a student, but these scholars were very polite to him: "Brother Li, how did you memorize so many books?"
Li Qingzhi did not hide it: "I have had a photographic memory since I was young."
Photographic memory? Photographic memory
In fact, all of them have good memory, and Peng Jingliang is the best among them. He can recite some poems after listening to them recited once.
But this has to happen on the spot. After a while, he will forget about it.
If he wanted to remember the poem thoroughly, he had to recite it several times.
And he was able to remember them because the poems were relatively short. If it were a longer article, he would not be able to memorize it after reading it once.
In short, he couldn't memorize so many books by Li Qingzhi.
Peng Jingliang asked: "Brother Li, are you really that good that you can memorize it after reading it once?"
Li Qingzhi said: "Indeed."
These scholars from the provincial capital basically brought their own servants, who all carried book boxes on their backs, making it convenient for them to study at any time, or to write poems or paint when seeing beautiful scenery.
