11th of June.2

A day later, news of what was happening finally spread.0

People from the capital were coming to attend the entrance examinations held in Nanyuan. Some of them were already here, waiting for the examinations to start. Voices of criticism spread alongside the news.0

"The capital is reducing the intake of local students!"0

"Marquis Xia only cares about money and disregards the well-being of Nanyuan. He is even considering selling Nanyuan to Great Ming for money!"0

"Nanyuan has been abandoned by Great Xia!"1

All sorts of rumors flew about. Some were spread by the commoners, and some were spread by those harboring evil intents. The mayor's office reacted immediately. The Windcatcher Department was mobilized while Nanyuan Secondary School provided their students with an explanation of what was happening.0

Those from the capital would be taking the examinations using unique slots. Nanyuan's original slots would remain untouched. They would not encroach upon Nanyuan's benefits.0

With that, public opinion started changing. Naturally, not everyone believed the explanation. But at the very least, things were calming down as a majority of the population still believed the mayor's office.0
