Chapter 62 Part 2 - Top of The List (2/2)
He just finished speaking and immediately saw the crowd near the window suddenly made some noise. Someone said: “Coming, coming!”
The man who posted the long-awaited list came.
The people waiting outside cheered and surrounded him at once but the imperial bodyguards kept the crowd back. After the red list of names were posted on a prominent wall and the man posting it had left, the impatient crowd immediately moved like the wind and encircled it.
Some people couldn’t squeeze in, their heads could be seen bouncing outside, trying in vain to see. From time to time they asked the people inside: “Have you seen it? Who’s at the top of the list?”
There’s an uproar outside, Ye Shijie, this name was too unfamiliar, apparently not belonging to any of the capital’s official families.
“What about Ming Yi Hall?” In the middle of the chaos, some people were more concerned about other things and asked: “Who occupies Ming Yi Hall’s top position?”
A young man acting just like a microphone lengthened his voice and said: “The top position at Ming Yi Hall is, is ——” His voice abruptly stopped and was replaced the sound of a long, cold breath sucked in.
The surrounding crowd became increasingly anxious and their heart itched. They urged and scolded: “Quickly ah, why the suspense, in the end who is it?”
The young man was shoved a few times before he came out of his daze. He turned around in a bad mood and spat out a name.
“Jiang Li!”
Jiang Li?!
The crowd exploded.
