The Ministry of Rites test will be released in February, and the location will be in Shangshu Province.

The candidates gathered here, and Li Tao stood outside the duty room, listening to the roll call in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the past.

"The old man also dreamed of going out back then, but the world was in turmoil, and in the end he could only put pen to paper, and he still sighed when he thought about it."

He suddenly laughed and said: "The old man actually sighed like this, it can be seen that he is old." Go to the front and take a look, don't let those who don't make a fuss. ”

Some officials went to the front, and it was okay to see the order.

“…… Qiao Donglin! ”

Qiao Donglin came out proudly and slowly looked around, only feeling refreshed, the peak of life was at this moment.

"He's missing three fingers, so he can't pass the official test, right?"

Wang Fu felt that Qiao Dongxing was too proud.

"Don't make a fuss."

Cao Yingying pressed his shoulder and looked ahead.

The little official was reading his name aloud.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is divided into subjects, and there are not many people admitted to the Jinshi department, more than 20 people. There are more Ming Jing branches, hundreds of people, or even more than 200 people.

So the roll call is slow.

Everyone refused to leave even if their stomachs were rumbling, and they even held their urine......

Until the end of the roll call.

Qiao Dongxing specially stayed, walked in front of Cao Yingying and Wang Fu, and sneered: "A certain person said, a certain can be successful, but you can't!" ”

Cao Yingying's eyelids were shaking, and Wang Fu was already red and wanted to cry.

Every imperial examination is an opportunity, and if you don't win, you can only go back to your hometown to take next year's state exam, and come back after passing the test.

But Qiao Dongxing is hinting: There are people behind a certain person, who can not only make a certain hit, but also make you not hit.

This is a blow from the family gate valve, and Cao Yingying and the others have no ability to resist at all.

"What to do?"

The two returned to their residence, and Wang Fu choked up: "Qiao Dongxing is the person who closes the Longmen valve, they have huge power, and it is just ordinary for them to control the imperial examination. How will we take the test in the future? Even if you are only a high school, don't even think about passing the exam! ”

At this time, the imperial examination was not vague, that is, whose test papers were clear in the eyes of the examiner, so that you could be selected, and if you were not selected, you would not be successful.

This is the reason why the follow-up candidates went to the homes of the powerful after entering Chang'an: hand their poems and articles to the influential magnates, if they are valued, the magnates and this year's examiners mutter, and your imperial examination road is considered to be eight or nine.

Next year, these two will come again, and the examiner will look at the name, Cao Yingying, Wang Fu, but!

There was more frustration in Cao Yingying's eyes, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "This is Qiao Dongxing working hard behind his back, but he can't be an official." As for the imperial examinations...... yes yes don't take the test, anyway, the family has money, and it's not bad to have a good life. ”

But there is nothing to enjoy in these years, that is, there is not much fun, so the temptation of being an official is so great.

Wang Fu said entangledly: "But there is no money." ”

"Yes, it's enough for us to have a good time in Chang'an." Cao Yingying grabbed his shirt and lifted him up, "Let's go, go to the Qinglou!" ”

In the green building, when the old bustard saw the God of Wealth coming, the wrinkles on his happy face deepened a little.

"Hero!"

Cao Yingying turned his face sideways and shook his hair by the way.

The bustard kissed hard.

Cao Yingying pouted.

The old bustard kissed it without hesitation.

Wang Fu was stunned from the sidelines.

The old bustard is more than forty years old, and he can ...... heroically

He looked carefully and found that Cao Yingying seemed to be enjoying it, but his eyes were extremely empty and confused.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the official test.

The so-called customs examination, that is, the official examination, is that the candidates who have passed the imperial examination come to the official department for interview.

One of the tests is to look at your appearance, if you are too ugly, you can't ask for it, that is, you have to look good as an official. If Lei Hong hadn't been born in a hundred horses, he would definitely not have passed the test.

Qiao Dongxing entered the Ministry of Officials.

When he came out again, he held his head high, and someone next to him asked, "Is it over?" ”

Qiao Dongxing said proudly: "Pass easily." ”

Cow pen!

The man looked admiring.

"How can I pass the test with three fingers missing from my left hand?" Wang Fu trembled with anger.

Cao Yingying's eyes were full of anger, "This is someone behind it!" ”

"What's the use?" Wang Fu said desperately: "We can't fight them, let's go home." ”

Cao Yingying shook his head and said unruly: "Ye Ye can't stand this anger, you look at ......"

Cao Yingying first got some ash on the ground and smeared it on his face, then walked to the gate of the official department, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Qiao Dongxing is missing three fingers, why can he pass the test?" It's cheating! Shameless! Donkey day, shameless! ”

Menzi was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Someone is making trouble!" ”

Cao Yingying turned around and ran.

No one knew that he said it, so the news of Qiao Dongxing's fraud would be widely known. It's useless, but it's good to be angry!

When Wang Fu saw a few pavilion chiefs running out, he shouted, "Hero, run!" ”

Cao Yingying's body stagnated while running......

Wang Fu on Donkey Day, what are you shouting?

Wang Fu was also stupid.

But at the moment, the two of them are only concerned about running away.

Several pavilion chiefs chased after them for a while, but returned in vain.

"What does the man shout...... Hero. ”

The news reached Qiao Dongxing's ears, and he was immediately furious.

"You shouldn't get carried away!" This is a beating from Wang Qi's side, Wang Qi even dislikes Qiao Dongxing a little, and feels that if there is someone behind this kind of goods, let alone the Ministry of Rites, he will not be able to pass the level of the Ministry of Rites.

After some tossing, he put his arm around Chen Erniang and ordered: "Find that Cao Yingying and Wang Fu and break their left hand." ”

This is revenge.

Chen Erniang saw that he was not interested, so she asked, "You don't want to?" ”

"Although he works in the shadows, he doesn't like people like Qiao Dongxing. Carried away, ambitious and talented, eyes above the top...... If there was someone behind him back then, I am afraid that he would have already made a history of assassination in a state at this moment. Life is so far, what can I do! ”

Cao Yingying and Wang Fu were very alert, and after returning to their residence, they packed up their money and ran.

"Where are you going?"

Wang Fu felt that the world was big, but he had no place for himself.

"Let's get out of Chang'an City first."

Cao Yingying and Wang Fu hurriedly walked out of Pingkangfang.

"Someone is following us!"

Wang Fu trembled nervously.

"Calm." Cao Yingying glanced back, "Those are ordinary people, you are dazzled." ”

"It's not a boast, when a certain was in his hometown, he gave the bandit the name of the jade-faced Xiaolangjun, and his eyes were like a hero of electric Cao. If someone is following, you can see it at a glance. ”

Wang Fu couldn't help but praise: "You are so powerful. ”

He inadvertently turned around and saw several men speeding up, and they were preparing to outflank.

"Hero ......"

Cao Yingying said confidently: "Don't worry, that ...... Run! ”

Fucking!

The two of them began to run wildly.

Those people followed behind without hurrying, and there was no difference at all.

"Hero, so-and-so can't run."

Wang Fu's legs were weak, staggering, and he could fall at any time.

"Stop!" Cao Yingying was okay, but he also felt hot in his lungs, and every breath was stinging.

He was sweating profusely, and when he looked back, he saw that the big men were getting closer and closer.

"Who's that?"

Wang Fu ran crookedly, and suddenly said happily: "Hero! You see! ”

Cao Yingying looked up and saw a familiar person.

"It's Jia joining the army!"

In despair, the two of them seemed to see a savior, and their speed suddenly became a little faster.

"Jia joins the army!"

The men behind didn't move, but just followed them closely, which was clearly to follow them to a secluded place and then play the rhythm of the black hand.

The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

Jia Ping'an just went home from work and visited the anorexic Ah Fu, but he didn't expect to meet these two wonders.

"You ...... this"

Cao Yingying pounced, Ah Bao hissed, and the person stood up, ready to step on the hero.

"Phew!"

Jia Ping'an pulled and turned Bao in a different direction.

"Jia joined the army, and someone chased and killed the two of us in the back."

Cao Yingying and Wang Fu hid behind their horses.

"Who?"

Jia Ping'an held the handle of the knife in his hand and rolled his gaze.

The men walked over from the side without changing their faces.

"That's them!"

Jia Ping'an couldn't make a move for no reason, so he asked, "Why did they do it?" “

Cao Yingying said: "The Ministry of Rites test I was waiting for was hacked by Qiao Dongxing and missed. That's it. But Qiao Dongxing was missing three fingers, and he was able to pass the official test, which was cheating. One of the most unjust things he saw was screaming, and he was chased by them. ”

"There's someone behind him." After cutting off Qiao Dongxing's three fingers, Jia Ping'an forgot about this person.

didn't expect him to brush off Cao Yingying and the others.

Jia Ping'an is not a bad person, Wang Fu has little to do with him, but Cao Yingying is different. When he went to the meeting alone, only Cao Yingying was speaking for him, and Cao Yingying offended Qiao Dongxing because of this.

In other words, Cao Yingying's situation stems from his support for Jia Ping'an.

He had to reach out for this.

Later, they appeared at Jia's house in Daodaofang.

"Qiao Dongxing is narrow-minded, and he will repay if he sees it, and it is just enough to move others." Jia Ping'an said: "The hero helped a certain person speak last time, and this offended Qiao Dongxing, this matter is ...... Someone is set! ”

Sure enough, it was the righteous Jia who joined the army!

Cao Yingying felt that he had recently lost his family, and at this moment he had made a promise, and his eyes were moved with tears, "But behind Qiao Dongxing is the Guanlong family, no, never!" ”

Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he only dared to shout after wiping his face with ash, but he was still chased and cornered.

And if Qiao Dongxing is moved, it will anger the Guanlongmen valve.

You can do it on official matters, but if you do it privately, then everyone will set out the carriage and horses.

In this way, Jia Ping'an is dancing on the tip of the knife.

"Peace of mind." Jia Ping'an is determined to return the favor, but you must make the matter more difficult, otherwise how can the other party feel your sincerity?

"You two live at home for the time being, this matter ...... Within three days. ”

Jia Ping'an went out calmly.

Wang Fu was stunned, "Is Jia joining the army so righteous?" ”

Cao Yingying took a deep breath, "Such a hero, I hate to talk to him at night and get along day and night." But this matter is too risky, and it will be dangerous if Jia does not join the army. ”

Wang Fu felt that Jia Ping'an was a little reckless, "Why don't you ...... Persuade again. ”

The two went out to ask, only to know that Jia Ping'an had gone to Baiqi.

For the next two days, Jia Ping'an was staring at Fang Li, a member of the ministry.

The official pass test was presided over by him, and Qiao Dongxing could still pass the test without three fingers, so he must have his acquiescence, and even his advocacy.

Jia Ping'an entered the ministry in the name of asking to see Cui Jian.

"Xiao Jia!"

When Cui Jian saw Jia Ping'an, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he shot like lightning......

Jia Ping'an's hand was ravaged, and then he sat down to speak.

"Fang Li, this person, Brother Cui, does you know?"

"I know, he is in charge of this test, and he says that he is just right!"

When it came to being upright, the corners of Cui Jian's mouth curled slightly, a little disdainful.

"I want to meet him."

Jia Ping'an had already thought of a way, but it was difficult to see Fang Li.

It's not a group of people, Fang Li doesn't care about you at all.

Cui Jian said in surprise: "What are you looking for him?" He's not the same as us. ”

The word "we" was used in chest urging, which shows that Xiao Jia has been regarded as a family.

That's how hard work pays off.

Jia Ping'an felt comfortable, but refused to reveal the purpose, "Something is looking for him, but I don't know him, so I came to ask you for help." ”

"That's easy to say."

Cui Jian immediately ordered the little official to take Jia Ping'an to find Fang Li.

Fang Li's duty room didn't look dazzling, but the candidates in this year's examination had to be interviewed by this person, which can be called a small official and a lot of power.

"Fang Yuanwailang, someone asks to see you."

A man's voice came from inside, "Come in." ”

The little official also wanted to take Jia Ping'an in, but he pulled him, "You go back." ”

The little official was stunned, thinking that Jia Ping'an didn't know Fang Li, why did he leave himself?

When he looked up, he saw Jia Ping'an raising his head slightly, and his eyes were a little sharper.

This...... Something is going to happen!

He hurriedly ran to tell that Jia Ping'an had already entered.

In the duty room, a man in his forties was looking at the roster, and when he heard the footsteps, he looked up, and when he saw that he didn't know him, he frowned and said, "Who are you?" Why do you want to see the old man? ”

"Jia Ping'an." Jia Ping'an sat across from him.

"Broom Star?" Fang Li's eyes were slightly cold, "What are you looking for the old man?" If it's all right, get out! ”

This is the difference of the way, not the same thing.

Jia Ping'an looked at him and sneered: "Qiao Dongxing is missing three fingers, why can he pass the test?" ”

With three fingers missing, it's okay to be a small official, and to be an official...... It's unsightly.

Fang Li's eyes shrank, and a ruthless color flashed, "This is my ministry's business, what does it have to do with you?" If you're brave enough, go for impeachment! ”

Official layout, this is related to the future of the small circle, you Jia Ping'an is just a little shrimp, you have the ability to try it, and it is guaranteed that the eldest grandson Wuji, who didn't care about such things in the past, will slap you to death!

That's why he has no fear.

The eldest grandson Wuji is currently the lighthouse of the Tang Dynasty, you go and try it.

Try it and die!

He even hoped that Jia Ping'an would be stunned to impeach and scold.

Thinking of this, he said very relaxedly: "So-and-so just let Qiao Dongxing pass, what can you do?" ”

He was sure that Jia Ping'an would not dare to impeach, so it was very easy.

"After an hour, Your Majesty will go out of the city with his important ministers to see the fields and farmers, and the hundred horsemen and the thousand oxen guards will accompany the escort......"

Jia Ping'an said very calmly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Fang Li suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Jia Ping'an said lightly: "An hour later, Cao Yingying and Wang Fu will shout grievances outside the imperial city and tell Qiao Dongxing about it, unless you can make Qiao Dongxing grow three fingers, otherwise...... You're cheating! ”

"How dare the two?" Fang Li's complexion changed slightly, but he was still fearless.

"The two of them were ruined by Qiao Dongxing and were chased and killed, what do you think they are afraid of?"

It's not strange for people to do anything in times of despair.

Fang Li's face changed greatly, "Aren't you afraid that the eldest grandson will blame him?" ”

"What does this have to do with so-and-so?" Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "It just provided Your Majesty with the time when they left the imperial city, but who can prove this?" ”

He turned and walked away.

The matter is a scandal.

Once it was exposed in front of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and in front of the public, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to slaughter Fang Li. The point is that this matter will further reveal the layout of the small circle......

The eldest grandson Wuji will skin him alive!

"Wait!"

Jia Ping'an did not stop.

Poof!

"Jia joins the army......"

Fang Li was already kneeling and said in a trembling voice, "You shameless person, what do you want?" ”

"Why are you doing this?"

Jia Ping'an's face was compassionate, "A certain person is a philanthropic person...... In this way, you took the initiative to admit your mistake, saying that you had just found something wrong with Qiao Dongxing, and you should revoke his qualifications...... I was in the duty room in Cui Langzhong, and I couldn't hear the news of your mistake after a quarter of an hour......"

He then went to Cui Jian's place.

"What are you going to do to find Fang Li?" Cui Jian has already received the advice of the little official, and he is worried about Jia Ping'an's crime.

"Just a few words with him."

Then, just over five minutes later, someone came to spread the gossip.

"Cui Langzhong, hey! You've got guests! ”

Cui Jian said: "This is a certain brother, you just have to say it." ”

The official pretended to be mysterious, "Fang Li went to Shangshu just now, and admitted that he was negligent during the exam, causing a candidate who was missing three fingers to pass the test. Shangshu said that such self-examination and self-correction were worthy of recognition, and then abolished the candidate's qualifications. ”

Cui Jian just smiled, but Jia Ping'an asked; "What is the examinee called?"

This person glanced at him, and saw that he was very casual, and knew that he had a good friendship with Cui Jian, "It seems to be called Qiao Dongxing." ”

……

"What?"

Qiao Dongxing was going crazy, "Does it matter if a certain Guan has tried?" Why? ”

The man looked at him with such pitiful eyes, "It was said that you were missing three fingers, and the officials only noticed it afterwards, and immediately revoked your qualification." ”

Qiao Dongxing stood there, surrounded by congratulatory friends. He forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's a mistake, it must be, it must be ......."

Bang!

He wanted to go out, but he bumped into the desk at once, and the wine and food were scattered everywhere.

"Why?" He couldn't figure it out, so he picked up the flask and smashed it hard.

The wine was splashing everywhere, and he roared with red eyes, "Why is that? ”

……

And Cao Yingying and Wang Fu didn't go outside the imperial city at all, let alone Jia Ping'an's arrangement.

Since the day before yesterday, Jia Ping'an said that they were safe, but they were still dressed in disguise, for fear of being chased and killed.

Wang Fu's tangled way; "Jia Senjun said that this matter will be resolved in three days, and today is the third day, hey!"

"It's too hard." Cao Yingying felt that Jia Ping'an was a good man, "But Jia won't lie when he joins the army." ”

Wang Fu sighed: "It's hard to say. ”

Cao Yingying revered Jia Ping'an, and was angry when he heard this, "Why don't we make a bet?" If Jia Senjun can solve this matter, you call it Aye...... That's it, what did Qiao Dongxing call when Jia joined the army last time? Dad, yes, that's good. ”

Wang Fu nodded, "It's easy to say." ”

He felt that Cao Yingying was hard-mouthed.

The two entered Pingkangfang, and when they passed by a restaurant, they heard a cry inside, "Why did you cancel the entrance test?" Why? ”

Qiao Dongxing appeared on the second floor, howling, and slapping the railing hard.

Wang Fu and Cao Yingying were dumbfounded......

Wang Fu blinked, "Dad." ”

Cao Yingying replied casually: "Hey! ”

……

Good night.
