Chapter 183(1/2)
The Ministry of Rites' examination was released in February, and the location was in the Shangshu Province.
The candidates gathered here, and Li Ji stood outside the duty room, listening to the singing name ahead, and couldn't help but recall the past.
"I also wanted to become an official back then, but the world was in chaos and finally had to join the army. I still sighed when I think about it."
He suddenly smiled and said, "I actually sighed like this, it can be seen that I am old. Go ahead and take a look, don't let those who failed to make trouble."
Some officials went in front and saw that order was OK.
“…Joe Donglin!”
Qiao Donglin came out proudly and slowly looked around, feeling refreshed. The peak of his life was at this moment.
"He has three fingers missing, so he can't pass the Ministry of Personnel's test, right?"
Wang Fu felt that Qiao Dongxing was too proud.
"Stop making trouble."
Cao Yingxiong pressed his shoulder and looked ahead.
The little official was chanting his name loudly.
There were not many people admitted to the imperial examination subjects of the Tang Dynasty, with more than 20 people. There were more than 100 people in the Ming Dynasty, with more than 20 people, and even more than 200 people.
So the roll call is very slow.
Even if everyone was rumbling, they refused to leave, and even held their urine...
Until the end of the roll call.
Qiao Dongxing stayed specially, walked to Cao Yingxiong and Wang Fu, and sneered: "I said that I can win, but you can't!"
Cao Yingxiong's eyelids were shaking, while Wang Fu's eyes were red and he wanted to cry.
Every imperial examination is an opportunity. If you fail, you can only go back to your hometown to participate in the state examination next year and come again after passing the test.
But Qiao Dongxing was hinting: There is someone behind someone who can not only win, but also let you miss it.
This is a blow from the aristocratic families, and Cao Yingxiong and the other two have no ability to resist at all.
"What to do?"
When the two returned to their residence, Wang Fu choked and said, "Qiao Dongxing is from the Guanlong family. They are powerful and controlling the imperial examination is just ordinary. How can we take the exam in the future? Even if we are talented, we don't want to pass the exam!"
At this time, there was no name in the imperial examination. In other words, who had a paper, it was clear in the eyes of the examiner. If you were to win, you would win, and if you didn't win, you wouldn't win.
This is the reason why the subsequent candidates go to the powerful and wealthy family to conduct papers after entering Chang'an: hand over their poems and articles to the influential powerful and wealthy. If they are valued, the powerful and wealthy and the examiner this year mutter, your journey to the imperial examination will be almost the same.
The two of them will come back next year. The examiner will see the names, Cao Yingxiong, Wang Fu, but!
Cao Yingxiong had a look of frustration in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is Qiao Dongxing trying hard behind his back, but he can't become an official. As for the imperial examination... Yes, I won't take the exam anymore. Anyway, my family has money, and it's good to have a lifetime of free luck."
But there is nothing to be happy these days, and there is not much fun, so the temptation of being an official is so great.
Wang Fu said in a tangled manner: "But I have no money."
"Something is enough for us to be free in Chang'an." Cao Yingxiong grabbed his clothes and lifted him up, "Go, go to the brothel!"
In the brothel, when the madam saw the God of Wealth coming, the wrinkles on her happy face became a little deeper.
"hero!"
Cao Yingxiong looked sideways and shook his hair.
The madam kissed her hard.
Cao Yingxiong pouted.
The madam kissed her without hesitation.
Wang Fu was stunned by the side.
The madam is over forty, but he can actually...
He looked carefully and found that Cao Yingxiong seemed to enjoy himself, but his eyes were particularly empty and confused.
...
Wang Fu's legs were weak and he was staggering, and he could fall down at any time.
"Stop!" Cao Yingxiong was okay, but he also felt hot in his lungs, and every breath stinged there.
He was sweating profusely, and after a glance, he saw that the big men were getting closer and closer.
"Who is that?"
Wang Fu ran slanted and suddenly said happily: "Hero! Look!"
Cao Yingxiong looked up and saw a familiar person.
"It's Jia joining the army!"
The two in despair seemed to have seen a savior, and their speed suddenly became a little faster.
"Jia joins the army!"
The men behind didn't take action, just followed them tightly, which was clearly the rhythm of following them to a secluded place and then taking action.
The fear of unknowns is the most scary.
Jia Ping'an had just left his post and went home to visit A Fu, who was anorexia, but unexpectedly encountered these two strange creatures.
"You guys are..."
Cao Yingxiong rushed over, and Abao neighed, and the man stood up and prepared to step on the hero.
"Well!"
Jia Pingan pulled Abao for a moment and turned his direction.
"Jia joined the army, and someone chased me and the other two."
Cao Yingxiong and Wang Fu hid behind the horse.
"who?"
Jia Ping'an held the handle of the knife in his hand and his eyes turned.
The men walked over from the side without changing their faces.
"It's them!"
Jia Ping'an couldn't take action for no reason, so he asked: "Why do they want to take action?"
Cao Yingxiong said: "The Ministry of Rites test we were waiting for was defeated by Qiao Dongxing. That would be fine. But Qiao Dongxing had three fingers missing and could pass the Ministry of Personnel test. This was a fraud. Someone who was most afraid of such an injustice, shouted and was chased by them."
"There are people behind him." After many chopped off Qiao Dongxing's three fingers, Jia Ping'an forgot about this person.
But unexpectedly, he actually defeated Cao Yingxiong and the others.
Jia Ping'an is not a bad guy, and Wang Fu has nothing to do with him, but Cao Yingxiong was different. When he went to the meeting alone, only Cao Yingxiong was talking to him, and Cao Yingxiong offended Qiao Dongxing because of this.
In other words, Cao Yingxiong's situation comes from his support for Jia Ping'an.
He had to reach out for this matter.
Later, they appeared at the Jia family in Daodefang.
"Qiao Dongxing is narrow-minded and will retaliate. It's fine if he touches others." Jia Ping'an said: "The hero offended Qiao Dongxing last time, and this matter... I'm in charge!"
It was indeed the unparalleled Jia Zhanjun!
Cao Yingxiong felt that he was a dog that had been a betrayed recently. He had made a promise at this moment. His eyes were moved with tears in his eyes, "But behind Qiao Dongxing is the Guanlong family. No, absolutely not!"
Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he would only dare to use dust to wipe his face and shout, but he was still desperate.
If Qiao Dongxing is tortured, it will anger the Guanlong family.
If you can take action on business, but if you have private matters, then everyone will show off their cars and horses.
With this calculation, Jia Ping'an was dancing on the tip of the knife.
"Safe." Jia Ping'an was determined to repay the favor, but he had to increase the difficulty of the matter, otherwise how could the other party feel your sincerity?
"You two are staying at home for the time being, this matter... is within three days."
Jia Ping'an went out calmly.
Wang Fu was shocked, "Is Jia Zengjun so loyal?"
Cao Yingxiong took a deep breath, "Such a hero, I wish I could talk to him day and night, but this matter was too risky, and it would be dangerous if Jia joined the army if he didn't do it well."
Jia Ping'an said lightly: "One hour later, Cao Yingxiong and Wang Fu will shout for justice outside the imperial city and tell us about Qiao Dongxing's affairs. Unless you can make Qiao Dongxing grow three fingers, you are cheating!"
"How dare the two of them?" Fang Li's expression changed slightly, but he was still not afraid.
"The two of them were destroyed by Qiao Dongxing's imperial examinations and even more so they were hunted down. What else do you think is there to be scary about them?"
It is not surprising that people do anything when they are desperate.
Fang Li's expression changed drastically, "Aren't you afraid that your grandson's husband will blame him?"
"What does this matter have to do with someone?" Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "I just provided the time for His Majesty and the others to leave the imperial city, but who can prove it?"
