In his frustration, Xiao Liu saw some movement at the end of the street where the Zhang Bang was to be posted.
A few officers rushed over and dispersed the crowd at Zhang Bang. Soon, a list was posted, leaving four to guard it while the rest quickly departed.
As soon as the officers left, those waiting to see the results swarmed forward.
Xiao Liu also pushed his way through the crowd, trying to check the posted list. His shoes were nearly lost in the shuffle. When he finally made it close enough, he eagerly scanned from the bottom of the list, where the date and seal were, to the top. He looked three times, from back to front, but his young master's name was nowhere to be found, and his heart quickly sank.
It seemed his young master had not passed the imperial examination...
Su Ke and the others were anxiously waiting at home too.
