Chapter 253: It's a big deal
Qi Guangzi was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, yes, you finally did a good thing." ”
Li Mu smiled and said: "I have done more than this, Lu Jieshuai also gave me a hundred places, we can arrange for our own disciples to enter the Iron Smelting Department, and the monthly salary is three taels of silver." ”
Qi Guangzi patted Li Muyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, Lao Li, I thank you for my subordinates." ”
Li Muyi waved his hand and said: "You and I are from one family, why be polite, when the time comes, I will have sixty people from the Hidden Sword Villa, and forty people from your Casting Sword Villa, this matter will be decided." ”
"Wait!" Qi Guangzi glared and said, "Why do you want more people?" It's the fairest thing for everyone! ”
Li Muyi frowned and said: "This matter was completely won by me from Lu Jieshuai, originally he was going to select a hundred people from the military camp to come over, you are a little ignorant of this, right?" ”
"Really?"
Li Muyi sneered: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Lu Jieshuai yourself!" He wasn't lying.
Qi Guangzi scratched his head and said, "Okay then." ”
……
Back house.
In the lobby, Lu Yuan sat in his position, drinking tea while waiting for Ma Kongming, and after a while, Ma Kongming entered the lobby under the leadership of the guards.
After seeing Lu Yuan's disguised face, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and with his superb eyesight, he recognized Lu Yuan's identity at a glance, and said suspiciously: "Jie Shuai, who are you?" ”
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I plan to go to the Tribute Academy to take the exam, and you will accompany me to protect it secretly." ”
Ma Kongming was stunned again, the boss with his mouth open,
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked.
Ma Kongming hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no." ”
After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Jie Shuai, why do you suddenly want to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Lu Yuan saw that Ma Kongming's expression was different, and said lightly: "It's nothing, just to experience it." ”
Ma Kongming nodded, didn't say anything more, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, if the marshal found out that the imperial examination questions were leaked, he was afraid that he would be furious.
Leaving the mansion through the side door, Lu Yuan walked towards the examination room with a bamboo basket, and halfway through, he ran into Zhang Shouliang again.
After seeing Zhang Shouliang, Lu Yuan's heart sank and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter with the injuries on your body?" ”
Zhang Shouliang's face was blue and swollen at the moment, and he was a little limping when he walked, and he smiled: "It's okay, I accidentally fell." ”
Where is Lu Yuan willing to believe it, he extremely suspected that the gang that looked for him yesterday might have also found Zhang Shouliang, and after being refused, he beat him.
"Brother Zhang, after we separated last night, did you meet anyone?" Lu Yuan said tentatively.
Zhang Shouliang immediately looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "So, Brother Mu also ran into them?" ”
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Brother Mu didn't promise them?" Zhang Shouliang's face gradually became serious.
Lu Yuan took out the silver he received last night and said with a smile: "I accepted the silver, but I threw the note casually, just right, I will use this ingot of silver to invite you to dinner tonight." ”
Zhang Shouliang was shocked: "Brother Mu, if you are like this, they are afraid that they will not give up." ”
Lu Yuan put away his smile and said coldly: "I just wanted to see what they wanted to do to me." ”
At this moment, Zhang Shouliang felt a familiar feeling in Mu Xuan, and he couldn't help but think of his uncle Li Jingzhong, the king of Zhaojun.
Although Mu Xuan talked happily with them and had no arrogance, he always showed a bit of majesty inadvertently.
At first, he thought it was his own delusion, but seeing Mu Xuan's current demeanor, he knew that this was definitely not an illusion, this man named Mu Xuan did have the majesty of a superior person, which could not escape the eyes of him, a person from the palace.
Zhang Shouliang guessed that he might be the son of a certain official in Hui'an Mansion, so he no longer worried about his safety. After that, both of them silently walked towards the tribute courtyard, and neither of them spoke.
When he arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, Lu Yuan saw Sima Rui and Wang Hui waiting outside the door.
After seeing Lu Yuan and the others, the two greeted them with a smile, and Sima Rui immediately noticed the injury on Zhang Shouliang's body: "Brother Zhang, what's the matter with your injury?" ”
"It's nothing, I accidentally fell." Zhang Shouliang waved his hand.
However, this reason is really a bit lame, Sima Rui showed suspicion, but he didn't ask, after all, he and Zhang Shouliang didn't have such a deep friendship.
After the rendezvous, the four of them entered the second examination hall together, and when they entered the inspection room, Lu Yuan noticed one thing, those officials in charge of the inspection were extremely careful when inspecting Sima Rui.
He sneered, it seems that the other party is really powerful, these servants are like their house slaves, let them drive. It's a pity that no matter how much he checks, he can't check anything on Sima Rui, so the official had to let him in.
After entering the examination hall, the four of them separated, Lu Yuan had just taken a few steps, and a short scholar blocked his way.
It's finally here, Lu Yuan said in his heart.
Looking at the short man, he guessed that this man should be the son of the bearded man yesterday.
The short scholar said coldly: "Mu Xuan? ”
Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's me, I don't know if Brother Donggua is looking for me?" ”
"Who is your winter melon brother?" The short man said angrily.
"That's also, it's really inappropriate to call you a brother and a brother, so dwarf winter melon, do you have anything to do with me?" Lu Yuan scoffed.
The short man said viciously: "Stinky boy, do you know who I am? Do you know what will happen to those who offend me? ”
Lu Yuan deliberately provoked him, put away his smile, and arched his hand: "I was about to ask for advice." ”
The short man raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Boy, listen up, my name is Xu Qing, my uncle is Xu Baichuan, Sun Shaoyin of Hui'an Mansion will shout Uncle Shi when he sees my uncle, do you understand?" ”
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and sighed, "I understand." ”
The short man thought he had softened, and said with a cruel smile: "It's too late to know now, you accepted the money from my son but didn't do anything, what do you say my son should do with you?" ”
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled his head to the side, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I suddenly didn't have the heart to talk to you, don't get in the way." ”
As he spoke, he walked to his examination room.
Xu Qing jumped like thunder, stomped his foot and pointed at Lu Yuandao: "Stinky boy, don't regret it!" This son wants to make you regret being born in this world! ”
At that moment, another hand reached over and pulled his head aside, and at the same time, a voice sounded: "Get out of the way." ”
Xu Qing turned his head to look, but it was a scholar in white, and he said angrily: "Su Qingzhe, don't be arrogant, do you think your Su family is still the Su family ten years ago?" ”
The white-clothed scholar ignored him at all and went straight back to his examination room, but Lu Yuan heard Xu Qing's words, glanced back, and said in his heart, it turned out that this person's name was Su Qingzhe.
The exam begins at the hour and ends at the unitary hour.
Today's exam is similar to yesterday, the fat scholar is still copying happily, and everyone else is answering the questions seriously, Lu Yuan saw that the white-clothed scholar answered seriously, and was a little infected, and he also concentrated on answering the questions.
Today's test is a policy question, such as how to govern Hui'an Mansion well, how to resist the attacks of surrounding countries, how to quickly subdue the hearts of the people of Muzhou, how to handle diplomatic relations with other countries, all the exam questions are centered on Hui'an Mansion, and it is very timely, Lu Yuan secretly praised the questioner.
In this regard, Lu Yuan didn't want to and didn't need to rely on the memory of the original owner, he could answer by himself, and after pondering for a while, he began to write.
On the other side, Jiang Huashan looked at Sima Rui for a long time, and saw that he didn't look at him, so he finally secretly copied the cheat sheet. If he submits another blank paper today, he will inevitably fall off the list, and he can't take care of the risk now.
All of a sudden, in the examination room, all the candidates were silently answering the questions, some cheaters, some like Jiang Huashan who copied carefully, and some who were as upright as fat scholars.
The majority of those who don't cheat, Sima Rui's face is constantly changing, sometimes frowning and thinking, sometimes happily putting down the pen, Wang Hui bites the brush with his mouth, scratches his head from time to time, looks very anxious, Zhang Shouliang smiles at the corner of his mouth, and the pen is dripping.
Time passed in a hurry, and soon, the drum of the end of the exam sounded, and everyone handed in their papers.
Leaving the examination room, Lu Yuan did not go to get acquainted with Su Qingzhe, nor refused the invitation of Sima Rui and the others, and returned home alone.
Sure enough, when he deliberately walked to an alley, the bearded man from yesterday reappeared, and behind him there were two more big men in addition to the two big men from yesterday.
The bearded man looked at Lu Yuan coldly and said, "Mu Gongzi, do you guess you can leave here alive today?" ”
