Zhou Shize nodded slightly when he heard this, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, the other party's words were quite light, and he probably lost only some gold, silver, treasures or valuable jewelry, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

When you walked into the lobby, you could see a slightly fat middle-aged man sitting on the high hall in an official uniform, as if he was looking through the file and working.

He heard footsteps and looked up. Seeing that the person coming was indeed Zhou Shize, he put on a bright smile and stepped forward to meet him. "It's indeed Brother Zhou. Since we were in the capital before, we have not seen each other for a long time! I heard that Brother Zhou is the top talent, and I have always wanted to talk to you. Unfortunately, the official business is busy and I have never had time to do it..."

Zhou Shize bowed and said, "Brother Liu is polite. I have just taken office, and I still have many things to ask you about the way of becoming an official..."

After the two of them politely greeted each other for a while, the county magistrate Liu asked in confusion, "I just don't know if Brother Zhou comes to Yong'an today, but is there anything wrong?"

Undetected, his eyes were a little nervous.

Zhou Shize thought for a moment and said slowly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a little busy may need your actions..."

He then told his future intentions in detail, and then the tension in County Magistrate Liu's eyes dissipated and he began to ponder.

"Do you want to provide insurance for a candidate in this county?"

"That's exactly that." Zhou Shize nodded.

"According to the general rules, candidates in this county should be protected by the applicants of this county, but..." County Magistrate Liu slowly walked and thought, and after a long time he turned around, "Since it was Lord Zhou's request, it is not impossible to make an exception."

The candidates are only responsible for making sure that the candidate will not cheat in the exam. This possibility can be ruled out with the top scorer. Moreover, as a top scorer, Mr. Zhou, who is now in a downturn, has a future that should be extraordinary. Maybe one day the emperor changes his mind and transfers him back to the capital, so it is also good to sell him for face and earn favors.

But when he said this, he became even more curious. This week, the adults were half-released from the capital to this remote mountainous area. Logically speaking, there should not be many acquaintances. Who is the candidate who can persuade the other party to come and go for a special trip to protect?

Could it be that the talented talented man or an outstanding child prodigy that made this Lord Zhou so look at him?

But when he heard the name, his brows frowned slightly and his eyes were a little strange.

"Su Yulong?"

"Well……"

Who is this?

Never heard of it before!

He looked back in confusion at the master behind him with a good memory, but saw that the other party shook his head blankly.

The master has also kept the famous talented man and prodigy in his mind, but no matter how he thinks about it, he can't remember any related person.

What a wonder, is there any talented man in the county who they don’t even know about?

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know who it is. Just register and record the relevant body characteristics. When the county test starts, you will naturally know who it is.

Thinking of this, they relaxed and called the personnel who were responsible for registering for the re-entry. The matter came to an end.

He looked at Zhou Shize's back with a smile until he couldn't see it after walking out of the door, Lord Liu gradually restrained the smile on his face and his eyes became much colder.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he turned around and returned to the case, whispered to the master who was following him, "Is there any clues in that matter?"

"This... I'm sorry, sir, haven't..." The master trembled for a moment, and could only lower his head and answer.

"waste!"

Lord Liu was extremely angry and picked up a roll of files and hit the master on the head. The other party didn't even dare to hide, so he could only be beaten.

"I have been an official for so long, and I'm afraid I'll be harmed by you guys this time! Even..." He was extremely angry, but he didn't lose his mind. When he said this, he lowered his voice slightly, but his tone was trembling in his anger. "I dare to lose a copy of the imperial examination paper?!"

"If this is discovered by the inspector, it will be a serious crime for beheading!"

When he said this, his eyes were full of fear and subconsciously touched his neck. Fortunately, he is still there. But who knows whether he will be there tomorrow!

He just heard someone visiting him, and he subconsciously thought he was here to capture him and wanted to escape...

"This villain really doesn't know!"

The master's stomach was full of grievances. Since the test paper was shipped, everything was fine, and many people were sent to guard it closely, for fear of something unexpected.

But who knew that when County Magistrate Liu went to check a few days ago, he found that the sealed test paper was missing for some reason?!

When I first discovered it, the master almost pissed his pants in fear! This is not a joke, but a big deal that everyone will lose their heads once they are discovered!

What the court most cannot tolerate today is the matter of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination. If this is exposed...

He shivered subconsciously.

"I don't care. You have to think of a solution for me, otherwise you won't want to survive!" Lord Liu said angrily.

"This..." The master frowned slightly, then stepped forward and moved closer and whispered, "Actually, I'm not hiding it to you, you have a way to hide it from the inspector, just like this..."

"Oh?" Lord Liu nodded slightly after listening carefully for a while. He felt that although this method was a bit risky, it was indeed somewhat feasible. Now that he was almost at a desperate situation, it was indeed the only way.

He just felt that there was something wrong with it. He asked with some concern, "Then... what should the lost test paper be done?"

"Don't worry about it!"

The master whispered, "Sir, do you think that even if we find the test paper and report it to the inspector, he will let you go? Even if we are exempted from death, I am afraid that this official position will be unsecured!"

"At this point, we can only try our best to hide it..."

Lord Liu pondered for a long time, but finally sighed, "Since that's the case, let's do what you said..."

He has been an official of his parents for so long. Although he has no great ability, he is reluctant to give up the official hat on his head.

Zhou Shize, who had already walked out of the county government gate, had no idea that such a serious thing had happened here. At this time, he was sitting back in the carriage. The master asked respectfully, "Sir, are you going to Xiping Village next?"

He still remembers the questions he asked him before.

“Um…”

Zhou Shize thought about it and shook his head slightly, "Let's forget it, wait..."

Now is not a suitable opportunity to meet. After all, the county examination is imminent. If he is rashly caught in the past, especially those literary people who are best at chewing people, it is hard to say whether they will cause any storm.

After the county test results came out, it was not too late for him to find another opportunity to have a good drink with this "colleague"...
