After seven days, the sky in Mingcheng suddenly changed, and the officials in the city were all out, and even a group of border troops in the southern Xinjiang camp of Lingnan joined the search.

This search and arrest activity even has a tendency to expand to the entire fourteen cities of Lingnan, but after all, the Zeng family is only one city lord, and the power of money cannot mobilize the entire Lingnan.

Chen Qingying, who was the initiator, was grounded by Xing Shengbin and stayed in the guest room to practice honestly.

That night, although Chen Qingying was forced to take an aphrodisiac, she still barely remembered the scene before she was knocked unconscious, that feeling of being involuntarily, Chen Qingying still has a chilling feeling when she thinks about it now, and she always feels that there is a pair of eyes staring at her behind her.

This incident made Chen Qingying grow up overnight. The wayward eldest lady no longer has the kind of childish thinking that is taken for granted, and she has increased her dependence on Xing Shengbin a little more, and she is more willing to listen to Xing Shengbin's words.

Chen Qingying's changes, Xing Shengbin naturally saw it in his eyes, and was more willing to see her growth, after all, Xing Shengbin couldn't be 24 hours a day, tying Chen Qingying to his belt, and some things still need Chen Qingying to make her own decisions.

In this way, time passed quickly, and as the township test was approaching, Mingcheng gradually came out under the haze of the great search.

The cultivation of students in the city has increased, and the atmosphere in Mingcheng has become more and more active.

Three days before the start of the township test, as the host, the eldest son of Qi, in order to help the students of the township test, held a large-scale martial arts competition.

Moreover, there are rich prizes prepared for the students of Guangzhou, there are as many as 20 pieces of nine-grade yuan soldiers alone, including two eight-grade yuan soldiers, and they are prepared for students who are far away.

Originally, Xing Shengbin was also invited, but these things are no longer in urgent need for Xing Shengbin now, so he didn't participate, after all, there are still two seven-grade swords in his hand, but he has not been willing to replace them with sin values, but he has not been willing to replace them with sin values, and he can exchange them for forty sin points, and now there is no shortage of Yuan soldiers, so keep them for the time being, maybe there will be any use!

However, I heard that in this big competition, the criminal family Sheng Wen and Sheng Wu also participated, and the boss Zhao Ziping also participated, as for what ranking he obtained, it is not very clear.

Such a simple game, and only these children who have no experience in the world will choose to join it.

As a big family in Lingnan, the Qi family has been entrenched here for an unknown amount of time, in order to win people's hearts, how simple this is, a discerning person can see it at a glance, but such a thing is willing to fight and suffer, it is really difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.

Officialdom is so intricate, officials protect each other, because each other is a combination of interests, and the Qi family, just among the Lingnan students, to gain a good impression, although now this good impression is not of much use, but when the Lingnan students enter the court and become officials, this good impression will play a role.

From this point of view, the Qi family is still very far-sighted.

The long-awaited day finally came, on the first day of the township examination, Xing Shengbin got up early to prepare everything, and went to the examination room with Chen Qingying.

I thought it was early enough, but I didn't expect it to be late.

When the two of them came to the examination room with their baggage, what they saw was that the official holding a water and fire stick was maintaining order, and the students who were about to line up to enter the examination room had already been sent out nearly 100 meters away, and there was still a steady stream of students rushing here.

The two hurriedly took their luggage and lined up to wait for admission.

However, the two of them were not the latest, and I don't know why the classmates in Fancheng almost arrived one by one when it was close to noon.

The two just said hello to their classmates and continued to wait.

The 14 cities in Lingnan, there are really a lot of people who participated in the exam this time, saying that only students from the 14 cities participated in this exam, but these 14 cities include more than 200 villages in the entire Lingnan.

The total number of people who took the exam exceeded 1,200, and the inspection process was extremely cumbersome.

Because the first one is a written test, almost everyone needs to go through a bare-ass process in order to prevent entrainment and private possession. But fortunately, the tests were done in a small room, and the men and women were also examined separately.

After Hengguo began to popularize Chinese studies, he tried to establish a women's army, but because the number of applicants was too small, and due to physical limitations, the women's army could only become the inspector of each exam in the end.

However, with the development of Hengguo, the women's army has become stronger and stronger, and all departments of the state institutions have also had women participate in it, and the status of women has been slowly improved in this era.

Even the three major organizations used by the state to check and balance the five sects and eight factions, the National Academy of Chinese Studies, the National Archives, and the Supervision Yuan, all have women serving in them, so you can think about it, the status of women is no longer an embarrassing position that does not go out of the door.

The status of women in this world, even compared with modern ideas in the 21st century, is not inferior at all, because of the feudal social management system, the status of women is more valued than in modern times.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally Xing Shengbin's turn, put the luggage on the table, and Xing Shengbin walked directly into the cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, the inspector asked, puzzled:

"You~ are the Sage. ”

Xing Shengbin didn't expect people to see through his identity at a glance, but he was very puzzled.

However, when I saw the inspector looking at the ring on his left hand, he suddenly understood.

As a prop for the sage, the fine iron ring naturally can't hide it from the sage, and I originally thought that there would be a cumbersome body search, but I didn't expect the inspector to just ask. I didn't move on to the rest of the work.

This made Xing Shengbin puzzled, and when he walked out of the cabin, Xing Shengbin took the liberty of asking:

"This big brother, can you ask why the Sage doesn't need to be searched and checked!"

The prosecutor looked up at Xing Shengbin and said:

"The sage is a detached being, and the cultivation is the orthodoxy of the Great Dao, and his exercises themselves will increase the abilities of the body. The written test is the candidate's memory, and in this regard, any saint is far superior to any soldier. This is the essential difference, and you will understand it when you take a Sage exam. ”

Xing Shengbin bowed slightly, which could be regarded as a thank you gift to the prosecutor for relieving his doubts.

Walking out of the cabin and entering the examination room, Xing Shengbin saw a registration office, which was specially arranged for the students, and for each exam, the names and origins of the students would be sent to Kyoto in advance, and the officials of the Kyoto National Academy of Chinese Studies would arrange the places where the students who took the exam sit.

handed in the student card, and after some searching, Xing Shengbin finally got his seat sign 'Geng Yiqi', took back the checked luggage, and Xing Shengbin began to look for his place in the examination room.

Geng is the number seven in the heavenly stem, because the counting method adopted in this era is still based on the stem branch, and there are only ten numbers in the examination room, and there will be no twelve earthly branches.

Where there are all the trunks, there are only archives, or records of the year. And as a 'military preparation test' for the country's selection, it is naturally only used by the Tiangan Cross.
