performed a "Wisdom Fight" with Jia Yucun in Houya, Sun Shaozong went out, but he always felt that something was wrong there, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.

Seeing that outside the gate, Cheng Rixing and the others had been waiting for a long time, so he had to suppress this uneasiness in his heart, turned over his horse, and set off towards the tribute courtyard near Chongwen Gate.

A group of people riding horses, riding cars, needless to say on the road.

When I arrived near the Gongyuan, I saw that the streets and alleys were full of colorful flags fluttering, this one was written 'Sanyuan and the first', and the other was hung with 'Toad Palace Zhegui'.

Sven ones, they are pasted with couplets related to the imperial examination.

For example, what is 'living in the side door, the county examination is difficult, the government examination is difficult, the hospital examination is even more difficult, and it is only after half a hundred years old that you enter the pan; Living here, the township test is easy, the test will be easy, the palace test is easier, and the 25th has been Dengying' and so on, belittling others and exalting their own sour words.

The rough and direct one simply wrote gold letters on a red background, indicating how many people and how many jinshi he had produced here.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at it, Cheng Rixing poked his head out of the car and explained: "Dong Weng, the restaurants and inns here have not been opened for three years, and they have been open for three years. ”

Sun Shaozong asked thoughtfully: "In this way, there are a lot of candidates living here?" ”

Cheng Rixing replied: "That's natural, the news here is the most well-informed, don't say that those candidates who come from afar, they live in the city, and many people will come to book a room and get a touch of the seniors' temperament." ”

Hearing Cheng Rixing say this, Sun Shaozong stopped and groaned for a while, and then urged the horse to rush to the gate of Nagong Courtyard.

Although this place is not open on weekdays, as Sun Shaozong's identity as the general judge of Shuntianfu, if he wants to go in and have a look, naturally no one will stop him.

After entering this tribute courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a sandwich road more than 100 meters long.

"Your Excellency."

Cheng Rixing explained: "This is where the body search is, it is indecent to strip naked on the street after all, and the weather is still cold during the spring, if there is no place to block the wind, it is impossible to say that before the exam starts, a group of people will fall ill first." ”

Sun Shaozong nodded noncommittally and went inside first.

When he arrived in the middle of the road, seeing that there was no one left and right, he explained to Zhou Da: "Mr. Cheng, after you go back, you can choose a few reliable knife and pen officials, pretend to be a talent for this subject, and live in the inn across the street - you don't need to deliberately inquire about anything, as long as you have a rich uncle who eats and drinks well." ”

"Dong Weng is trying to lure those 'cultural vendors' into taking the bait?"

When Cheng Rixing heard this, he immediately understood what Sun Shaozong meant, but his face showed embarrassment, and he snorted: "Dong Weng, it's not so easy to have a rich uncle here, if you don't have four or five taels of silver a day......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Sun Shaozong said with a lot of money: "Then first set the cost of five taels of silver per person per day, and I will pay for this money first, if I really want to catch a big fish, I still don't have to worry about returning to the capital - if I can't catch a fish, I will spend money to invite them to enjoy it!" ”

Hearing Sun Shaozong say this, Cheng Rixing naturally wouldn't have any more opinions, in fact, if he wasn't afraid of being recognized, he would have wanted to go undercover in the inn!

The group walked through the mecca and met each other, but it was still not the examination place, but the main hall dedicated to the Holy Ancestor.

According to Cheng Rixing and Zhou Da, before each official examination, the examiners have to pay tribute to Confucius here, beg for the blessing of the Holy Master, and at the same time prove to others that they have a clear conscience.

If you change to a serious 'patrol envoy', you will have to go in and worship at this time.

But Sun Shaozong, whether in his previous life or in this life, has nothing to do with Kong Laoer, so he naturally doesn't bother to look at his old man's appearance.

So under the guidance of Cheng Rixing, I walked around the hall and arrived at a courtyard on the east side that covered a wide area.

This time, Sun Shaozong finally saw what the 'examination room' looked like!

The height is no more than 1.8 meters, the depth is less than 1.5 meters, and the width is less than 1.2 meters, all of which are built with thin wooden planks.

Sun Shaozong looked at the pigeon-cage-like room, and said speechlessly: "This is the place to show talents and raise people to gain fame?" ”

When I used to watch costume dramas, the examination room inside was shabby enough, but I didn't expect this reality to be much worse.

"No, where else could it be?"

Cheng Rixing said with a wry smile: "I am not satisfied with your words, after more than ten years of examination, I now have tendons in my stomach as soon as I see the number room, I have stayed up for nine days and seven nights, I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, and I still have stomach trouble after drinking two sips of cold water......"

Sun Shaozong endured the musty smell, looked in a few times, frowned, and said, "How do you sleep this night?" ”

This time, it was Zhou Da who hurriedly explained: "My lord, usually after August 15, our Shuntianfu will send someone to clean up and repair, and then there will be two more planks in each room - you see, aren't there two horizontal logs nailed to this wall?" ”

He went into a room and gestured against the wall: "When the time comes, put one on top for a desk and one for a chair below, and when you are tired, put both boards down and squint against the wall for a while." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Da leaned over and leaned against the wooden wall, the wooden wall shook slightly, but he heard a 'buzz' from next door, and then hundreds of wasps rushed out!

I'm going to go~

Suddenly, everyone was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"Run!"

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong's reaction was quite fast, he shouted violently, turned his head and ran wildly.

Later, Cheng Rixing, Zhao Wuxing, Zhou Da and others suddenly realized, and they hurriedly hugged their heads and ran away.

Speaking of which, this is the first time since Sun Shaozong crossed over that he 'fled in embarrassment' - and this escape, he escaped more than three miles away, and finally escaped the pursuit of the hornets.

The others were just stung once, at most, they were stung once or twice, and Sun Shaozong was even more unharmed.

It's just that Zhou Da was posing in the room, and his reaction was half a beat slower than others, but he was also stung more than a dozen times, and after a while, a face was swollen like a pig's head, and even his tongue was bigger!

Sun Shaozong was afraid that he would be allergic to bee venom, so he confessed his life in a daze, and hurriedly sent him to a nearby hospital for treatment.

It's just that in this way, this trip to the Tribute Academy had to be declared over.

-- Dividing line --

In the evening, Sun Shaozong returned home, and saw Xiangling greet him, and then he remembered that he was so busy that he forgot to do something - Xiangling had been waiting, and he went to the criminal department to check the files.

It's just that......

Sun Shaozong originally wanted to entrust this task to Zhou Dalai, but now that he was stung into that ghost, then he still has the face to go to the criminal department to swagger?

It seems that we have to find another suitable candidate.
