Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 43 100 Over the years!

Mr. Lu couldn't help laughing. The old Taoist's blurted out "Fellow Daoist" seemed to be the reason for being frightened. The volume was a bit loud, and even Mr. Lu on the second floor heard the truth.

Li Yulou suddenly felt that the painting style downstairs made his eyes a little dry.

The old man who was extremely talkative in front of him seemed to be a different person when he met Zhang Xinzhi.

The old Taoist glanced at the second floor in panic, chatted with Zhang Zhe for some inexplicable nonsense, and then hurriedly strode away.

Zhang Zheruo glanced at the second floor, and saw two figures standing there in the dark, probably one of them was Li Yulou.

Sanqi was curious: "This old man is also diligent in doing business, can he find customers in the county so early?"

Just at this moment, the vermilion gate of the school opened, and two rows of servants came out with white lanterns like wild goose wings.

"The examinees have listened to the truth, take the household registration inscriptions, and enter from the left and right of the gate. First check the case, and then enter through the guards' search!"

"If you are lucky, please remember that if you find the cheat sheet, you will be banned from the exam for five years! Sleeve pockets, clothes edges, inner shirts, hair, shoes, pens, ink, food, everything must be checked!"

Zhang Zhe took the lantern and test basket from Sanqi, and was about to step forward with the crowd, but found that there were a lot of broken things thrown on the ground in front of him.

Scraps of paper, strips of cloth, pamphlets, the scene is spectacular.

Among the two rows of yamen servants, one kept secretly looking up at the second floor of the tea shop.

Mr. Lu immediately reacted: "Li Langjun, is this probing guard your third checkpoint?"

Li Yulou hesitated for a while, but didn't answer for a while.

"Sure enough," Mr. Lu saw that the person took the initiative to stop Zhou Ziying and began to search, and he confirmed that this person was Li Yulou's last checkpoint.

"It's just that this person dares to take on such a big relationship to frame Zhou Ziying and Zhang Xinzhi?"

Li Yulou could hear the uneasiness in Mr. Lu's tone, so he explained: "Where will we get to that step? No one in the county will believe that the two of them are involved. Such an unwise thing will easily cause fire. I just don't know. It’s just for that person to tell them an anecdote about the examination room.”

"Still attacking the heart?"

"Exactly."

After seeing Zhou Ziying being searched by that person, Mr. Lu's footsteps were a little pretentious, and he became curious.

"What kind of anecdote can actually turn a good talented person into this suspicious look?"

Li Yulou didn't go into details, obviously, this kind of thing is even more out of the question.

"Don't wait, sir, someone is going in too."

Seeing Li Yulou going downstairs, Mr. Lu stared at Zhang Zhe curiously.

Sure enough, the guard took the initiative to find Zhang Xinzhi again.

Zhang Zhe had just finished registering, and saw that there was no one in front of a yamen servant, so he took the initiative to go over to prepare for the search.

Unexpectedly, a yamen servant waved his hand, allowing a candidate who had just been searched by him to go in directly, and then stopped him with his hand.

So targeted?
Zhang Zhe narrowed his eyes and laughed.

The things he brought were inspected by Meng Xiaowan and Bailu several times at home, and he himself inspected them several times in the boat and carriage. The only thing he had to be on guard against was whether someone would put more things in.

Zhang Zhe didn't resist, and put down the things for him to search.

The man took out a small hammer from his arms openly and aboveboard, and wanted to smash the food in Zhang Zhe's basket to see.

Zhang Zhe frowned, so disgusting?

The man smashed all the shells of several boiled eggs in Zhang Zhe's basket, and the snow-white egg whites were stained with a layer of rust.Zhang Zhe remained calm, only watching him do what he did.

At this moment, a scribe came out and snatched the person's small hammer.

"As much as you can, why don't you bring your chopping board too?"

Zhang Zhe looked up and saw that the person who came was the clerk who had listened to the instigation of the Han girl on the day of registration and had made things difficult for him.

This yamen servant is an old fritter, originally seconded from the county yamen, and he is not afraid of the clerks in the school yamen at all.

"Someone was also thinking about the reputation of these students, and went too far for a while, haha, too much."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the clerk couldn't openly defend Zhang Xinzhi too much, so he put away the hammer and turned around to go in.

After such a commotion, the yamen servant searched Zhang Zhe much faster.

He casually rummaged through the rest of the things in the test basket, and then searched Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe was ready to be disgusted by this person again, but who knew that the yamen servant was very polite, but he was just talking about the past in the examination room.

"Is there a cheat sheet on Mr. Lang?"

"Don't copy it, Mr. Lang, do you know how many years this examination room has been standing here?"

"160 years, three dynasties. You turn around first, I will search your sleeves."

"There is everything in this examination room. A hundred years ago, a candidate was found with a cheat sheet. He couldn't think about it for a while, but he was killed in it. Hey~~, what a crime. I heard people say, never Since then, the examination room has been not very peaceful. Every time someone takes the exam, someone will say, and I always hear someone asking behind me, so you can see my cheat sheet? Remember, Mr. Lang, if you encounter it, don’t turn your head back, let alone make a sound , if you get entangled in that thing, your life will be over."

"When Mr. Lang is working on a problem, if he feels the wind on his neck, he must not dare to move it. If he moves, he will cause trouble."

Zhang Zhe was slightly annoyed and wanted to laugh. These methods were really low-level, but they did not violate the rules at all.

If these methods were aimed at those real ancients, in this dark examination room, under the tense mood, it might be possible to scare people out of their minds.

Zhang Zhe raised the lantern a little, and nodded numbly at the man.

"This thing really happened, and I've heard it many times, but I haven't seen it once."

The guard was taken aback, didn't the man say that this is the first time for this person to refer to it?

He sneered: "It's your first time to come, how can you say that you haven't seen it once? It won't be too late to say this when you come a few more times."

Zhang Zhe put the lantern under his chin, and his tone suddenly became thinner: "Look at my face, I have clearly been here more than 100 times, why don't you remember me? It's been more than 100 years, You, have you seen my cheat sheet?"

The guard immediately had goose bumps all over his body, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and saw Zhang Zhe's face on the lantern.The candlelight was shining from the bottom up, and his face was full of gloomyness and numbness.

"Mother!" The guard collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Zhe shrugged, Shi Shiran picked up the test basket and went inside.

The examination room was located in a large horizontal alley behind the school office. Four long walls divided the alley into three, and every five feet there was a small grid separated by wooden boards.In the grid is the examination room, one for each candidate.

Above the examination room is a whole piece of semi-ventilated blue-tiled ceiling, which is not too stuffy in late summer and early autumn.

Zhang Zhe heard from Huo Bingcheng that the county school government takes two exams every year, each with its own characteristics.

When the spring exam is still cold and the spring is not warm, it will be better if there are more people in the whole exam room.It's just that it's hard to endure at night. Many people are not in good health, and if they can't make it through the middle of the night, they will freeze and collapse.

The autumn exam also has its disadvantages. Although the autumn exam is in late summer and early autumn, it is extremely hot when it gets hot.The exam started when it was cool in the morning, and it was better at that time. In the afternoon, hundreds of people were bored together, like a steamer. Every year, several people had to be carried out due to heat stroke.If you meet the legendary shit number, sitting next to the public toilet in the summer, not to mention the exam, it will be a miracle to survive.
