Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 17 Fighting the Landlord Again
The Tang Dynasty followed the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty has been strong for more than 100 years, and the status of civil servants has become higher and higher, which has already surpassed the status of military officials.Participating in the imperial examination is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to become an official in the court. Everyone wants to pass the exam in one fell swoop and become a leader from then on.

Just like County Magistrate Zhang, who originally came from a poor family, just because he passed the exam and took part in the imperial examination to get the status of Jinshi, and then he became the county magistrate of Xia County very quickly, and became the county of Xunyang County in Shang County two years ago make.

On the contrary, although Lin Siming and Cao Xianwei had family yin, they were unable to participate in the palace examination because they only passed the Juren examination. The county magistrate is much stronger, but there is a huge gap in identity with Zhang County magistrate.

Qingshan College is the best academy in Xunyang County. In the past ten years, there have been three Jinshi, and basically one person can pass the imperial examination every time. ,

It is human nature to hope that your child will become a dragon.Any capable family in Xunyang County will send their children to study at Qingshan Academy at any cost, hoping to gain the glory of Qingshan Academy, so that their own family can also produce a Jinshi, and the family has risen since then.

Cao Xiaozhong, as the son of Cao County Lieutenant, was naturally sent by Cao County Lieutenant to study in the academy. Of course, Li Fei didn't think that Cao Xiaozhong had the slightest chance of passing the Jinshi examination, but he looked like a scumbag for future generations.

In fact, the catastrophe of Doudizhu was the first one that Cao Xiaozhong brought into Qingshan College.

It is the first time for Li Fei to enter an ancient academy, away from the busy city, and the environment is good, but the scale is far worse than the later academies. The entire Qingshan Academy actually has more than 100 people, and most of the students who come to study are eighteen or twenty A person like Sui is equivalent to a university for later generations.

"Cao Xiaopang, have you brought the silver?" The one who spoke was the prince of Wang Yuan's family who defeated Cao Xiaozhong together with Zhang Yuanming. He looked about 19 years old. Zhang Yuanming was sitting next to him, and at the same time There were seven or eight other people, obviously headed by Zhang Yuanming, the county magistrate.

Cliques are not lacking anywhere, and Aoyama Academy is no exception.

"You guys are indispensable!" Cao Xiaozhong gritted his teeth as he stared at Zhang Yuanming and the others, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Hey, this is the visiting son-in-law of Lin County Cheng's family? It's——what's his name, Li Fei?" The tone was full of sarcasm.When they saw Cao Xiaozhong, of course they also saw Li Fei who came with Cao Xiaozhong.The door-to-door son-in-law is looked down upon at any time, especially in ancient times, it is equivalent to having no man's dignity, and is a representative of weakness and incompetence.

The people who can study in Qingshan College are from the same family background. Basically, they are rich gentry in Xunyang County, etc. Even if Li Fei is backed by the Lin family, they dare to tease Li Fei without any scruples.

Li Fei opened the fan, he didn't take it seriously, but instead looked flirtatious!He, Li Fei, was not a person who cared about other people's eyes, what's more, he didn't know any of these people except Zhang Yuanming.

Li Fei didn't get angry or refute, and Zhang Yuanming and the others felt very uncomfortable with his sullen expression.

"Li Fei, you came with Cao Xiaopang, could it be that you want to pay back the money he owes?" Zhang Yuanming looked at Li Fei, of course he knew that Li Fei had cheated on him in Chen's Chess Building a few days ago A total of no less than 2000 taels of silver was won, and if he really helped Cao Xiaopang pay it back, he would be able to afford it.

"It's up to you whether you want to help him or not, but since you guys beat Cao Xiaozhong through playing cards, it happens that my hands are itchy again, how about we play a few rounds first?" Li Fei laughed.To be honest, he really didn't have any money to pay back Cao Xiaozhong, the only thing that could help Cao Xiaozhong was to help him win the money back. With his 30 to [-] years of experience in fighting landlords, the possibility is still very high.

"Hmph, Li Fei, don't be so affectionate. Why should we come with you? Even if we want to come with you, Cao Xiaopang must first pay back the money we owe." Zhang Yuanming sneered, not being fooled by Li Fei, but Once he was miserably cheated by Li Fei, and he was very wary of Li Fei.What's more, this time he was targeting Cao Xiaozhong.

"Cao Xiaopang, don't say that we didn't give you a chance. If you don't have the money to pay back, we'll go to your house to find Captain Cao." Zhang Yuanming turned his head to look at Cao Xiaozhong's menacing threat.

Cao Xiaozhong wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at Li Fei, and hoped that Li Fei could save him.As long as he was allowed to escape this time, he swore that even if he would still play two-on-one in the future, he would not come for more than ten cents.

Zhang Yuanming was not fooled, and Li Fei was helpless, but it didn't mean he had no choice.

Li Fei took out the piece of jade that Zhang Yuanming mortgaged last time.

"Zhang Yuanming, you don't want this piece of jade anymore? If you can beat me by 100 taels, I will return this piece of jade to you."

Seeing the piece of jade in Li Fei's hand, Zhang Yuanming's face changed immediately. He was really cheated by Li Fei that day, and he didn't have a tael of silver left on him. This piece was given by his father when he was 20 years old three months ago. All the jade that was given to him was mortgaged by him, and this piece of jade in Li Fei's hands was a great shame to him. If there is a chance, he would certainly want to get it back.

Zhang Yuanming gritted his teeth. Although two-on-one was invented by Li Fei, the rules are simple. It was his first time playing. Li Fei was proficient and Cao Xiaopang dragged him down. He lost. After returning that day, He asked someone to make a deck of exactly the same cards himself, practiced his card skills hard for two whole days, and originally planned to get back the game from Li Fei one day in his heart.

He didn't believe that without Cao Xiaozhong holding him back this time, Li Fei could still beat him.

No!Not only is he not hindered by Cao Xiaozhong, but the prince is also his man, and the two of them can unite to kill Li Fei.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuanming winked at Mr. Wang.

Wang Gongzi understood clearly, saw Zhang Yuanming's plan, and wanted to join him in killing Li Fei, so he immediately smiled sinisterly.

"Okay! Li Fei, come if you want!"

Li Fei was not blind, he could see that Zhang Yuanming and the prince wanted to team up to trick him.What Dou Dizhu is most afraid of is that two of them will work together secretly, and it is easy to kill the other.However, Li Fei's 30 to [-] years of experience in fighting landlords is not unfounded. After all, even if they work together, it is impossible to directly tell each other their cards. He is not afraid of two rookies.

"Come on!" The corner of Li Fei's mouth curled into a smile.

Things like fighting landlords, especially if they involve betting, are naturally impossible to come in Qingshan College. After all, even if the masters in Qingshan College don’t want to care about Zhang Yuanming and Cao Xiaozhong, who come in with backgrounds, it’s impossible for them to Defile the Holy Land of Learning.

Li Fei and Cao Xiaozhong followed Zhang Yuanming and others to a tree next to Qingshan College. There happened to be stone tables and stone benches here. Cao Xiaozhong fought against the landlords in Qingshan College these days, but unfortunately he also On the first day, I was able to kill the Quartet, but I couldn't do it later. Today, I was tricked by Zhang Yuanming and Wang Gongzi for more than 600 taels, which is miserable.
