Fenghou

Chapter 634
At this time, a large carriage passed by Zhong Huan. Suddenly, Zhong Huan saw a tall and thin man in the carriage, and there seemed to be two young women beside him. Zhong Huan quickly lowered his head and pretended to be shopping.

The carriage stopped beside Lin Jianqing, Lin Jianqing got into the carriage, the carriage turned around slowly, and drove towards the city, Zhong Huan rode on the rented green donkey, and followed the carriage unhurriedly.

The carriage only walked a few hundred steps, and then stopped at the entrance of an alley. The tall and thin man got out of the carriage with Lin Jianqing and two women in red skirts, and walked quickly into the alley.

Zhong Huan slowed down, pretending to be passing by the alley, he just glanced at it, and he knew the situation in the alley by heart.

In the alley, there were seven or eight rascals standing against the wall, each with their hips crossed and their chests folded. The tall and thin man was talking to the gangsters and Lin Jianqing, while two women in red skirts stood behind the tall and thin man.

Zhong Huan didn't know, so he went around and came back, only to find that there was no one in the alley, and the carriage was also missing.

When Zhong Huan was wondering, he suddenly heard a woman shouting, "Help! Help us!"

The voice came from the vegetable market. There was a commotion in the vegetable market. People from all directions ran over. Zhong Huan also urged his donkey to run towards the vegetable market. The woman walked forward, and the two women were terrified, crying like pear blossoms with rain, and kept calling for help. The people were angry and condemned the rascals one after another.

Zhong Huan recognized the gang of rascals and the two women, who were discussing things in the alley just now!

He suddenly realized something, and simply folded his hands on his chest, watching the play coldly.

The leader of the rascal shouted: "It's only natural to pay off debts. If they can't pay back the money, they should be sold to a brothel. If you want to save them, bring them five hundred coins!"

Everyone gasped, unexpectedly asking for five hundred coins, no one dared to do anything more.

Someone beside him sighed: "These gangsters are known as the seven tigers in the south of the city. They bully the market, lend usury, force the good to become prostitutes, and do all the bad things. How could they owe five hundred guan? They must have gotten out of it with a lot of money. Poor two girls!"

Suddenly someone shouted, "Stop!"

The crowd cheered for a while, and finally someone came forward.

Zhong Huan sneered, as expected, Lin Jianqing came out to save the weak woman.

"Lang Lang Qian Kun, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes when you rob people's daughters?"

"Well said!" The surrounding people applauded.

Chong Huan really couldn't stand it any longer. If he guessed correctly, it was increasing his virtue. After all, once the news of heroes saving the United States spread, Lin Jianqing would have the aura of justice and the courage to stand up. Qing's brother-in-law, the future is immeasurable.

Zhong Huan felt that he had already guessed the truth, that tall and thin man must be Chen Qing's subordinate, and he was ordered to arrange all this.

It's ridiculous, I really thought that Chen Qing was an unselfish person, but unfortunately it was still unavoidable, so he shook his head and turned to leave.

On the other hand, Lin Jianqing is still expanding the halo effect of heroes saving the beauty.

Before dawn, a staff member yelled loudly in the corridor, "Get up! Get up! Scholars taking part in the imperial examination, get up quickly, the exam is about to begin!"

The last sentence woke up all the sleeping scholars, Zhong Huan sat up all of a sudden, and asked nervously, "What time is it?"

"Don't worry, it's not dawn yet!"

Chao Qing sat on the edge of the bed and slowly put on his shoes. Seeing that Su Ce was still asleep, he picked up his own pillow and threw it hard, "Xiao Su, get up quickly, the exam is about to start."

The yard and the dining hall were crowded with scholars who were washing and having breakfast. The inn even ordered seven bullock carts for the scholars in advance to take them to the examination room, but they ignored them when they came back.

The three simply cleaned up, ate something and went out. According to the regulations, they could only bring test vouchers and nothing else.

"There are exactly three seats left here!"

The three of them were lucky, squeezed into an ox cart, and there happened to be three seats left, the man waved and shouted, "The third one, let's go!"

The bullock cart shook, and began to walk slowly, heading north of the city at a leisurely pace.

There were twelve people sitting in an oxcart, sitting in two rows facing each other. There was only a moment of silence, and everyone began to talk to each other.

Chao Qing asked with concern: "What's going on with Lao Zhong these two days, he's a little depressed?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel that nothing is interesting, and I'm confused about the future." Zhong Huan said sullenly.

"The old man is thinking about his fiancée! Are you afraid that you won't pass the exam and you won't be able to get married?" Su Ce smiled from the side.

"I miss you!" Zhong Huan gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Have you heard of it?"

A scholar said loudly: "Some of our scholars bravely fought the rogues and rescued two weak girls. It has spread in the past two days."

"I heard that the scholar seems to be called Lin Jianqing, one fights seven, without fear, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and he firmly refuses to give in. He saved the reputation of the two weak women, really give us scholars long face."

"I've also heard that this incident was a big one, the government issued a warrant, and those scoundrels ran away, and I also heard that eighteen gentry from Jingzhao wrote a joint letter recommending him to the School Persuasion Department! "

"What does it mean to recommend to the Persuasion Administration? Can you be admitted without taking an exam?"

"As long as the grades are not too bad, you should be able to make an exception for admission! After all, there is a rule that those with outstanding moral character can be admitted first."

Everyone was talking about it, and Zhong Huan showed a sneer of contempt on his face. He probably spent a lot of money to publicize it everywhere!
The bullock cart stopped in front of the gate of the examination room, and everyone jumped out of the bullock cart one after another. The money for the cart was settled by the inn, so they didn't have to worry about it.

At this time, the sky was not yet completely bright, but many scholars had already come, and they walked towards the camp one after another.

Chao Qing asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to check and frisk?"

Su Ce shook his head and smiled, "You were asked to come with me that day but you refused to come. Now you're talking in layman's terms. Today's poetry test, what's the point of carrying the note?"

"That's right!"

Chao Qing reacted, and then frowned again, "But what if someone takes the exam for you?"

"This is not something you should care about, let's go!"

The three of them walked into the big camp quickly, and walked to their respective sub-examination rooms. Their seats were easy to find, which exam room, which district, and which number. There were lanterns hanging above the gate of each sub-examination room, and it was written Clear, which exam room.

Then there is also a tent hanging in front of each large tent, on which the district is written, and an examiner will check the examination voucher at the door. If the verification is correct, the scholar will go in to find his seat, but once he enters, he cannot come out again.

Lin Jianqing also came to the gate of the examination room in a carriage. He was very nervous and handed the test voucher to Li Toutuo with trembling hands. The man, the man glanced at Lin Jianqing, took the test ticket and walked directly into the test room.

"Does it matter?" Lin Jianqing asked worriedly.

"Are you worried that he won't pass the exam?"

Li Toutuo sneered and said: "He was born as a Jinshi. He worked as a bookkeeper in a small county in Sichuan. His family owed a buttock of debts before he came out to be a knife catcher. As long as he passes the exam for you, he can earn a hundred taels of silver. Can he not?" agree?"

"I'm not worried about whether he can pass the exam, I'm worried about whether he will be caught?"

"Don't worry! The test papers are anonymous, and there is no name on the test table. The test vouchers are just glanced at when entering the big account. As long as the examiner doesn't know you, as long as he keeps silent, who will know who he is?"

"What's his name?"

Li Toutuo was very contemptuous, this Lin Jianqing is really an idiot, he has explained so much by himself, and he is still asking such stupid questions.

"You don't need to know, it's not good for you to know!"

At this time, several scholars walked past their carriage talking and laughing. Lin Jianqing was so frightened that he quickly put down the curtain and said, "If you don't want to say anything, then hurry up! I'm afraid of being seen."

Li Toutuo smiled slightly, and shouted to the coachman, "Let's go!"

The coachman waved his long whip, "Drive!" The carriage started slowly and drove towards the city.
