Chunguan Yamen, Tribute Courtyard.

The tribute test is in progress, and the place is closed layer by layer and heavily guarded.

On the road of Chunqiu, the examiners and affairs officers are equivalent to a bright road to the sky, which is efficient and convenient, and has few side effects, and is the first choice for the lifters.

The avenue can't be walked, you have to pass through the spring minefield, there is another road to go, this road is more muddy and pickled.

In the Gongyuan, these officials and masters are all ten fingers do not touch the mud, maintain order, search, and patrol the examination room back and forth, distribute and collect test papers, prepare to read and judge the test papers, and purchase and transfer the materials needed by public servants to eat, drink, and Lazar, so naturally it is impossible for them to do it by themselves, and they have their own errand servants from all over the place to work hard.

And these low-status inferior servants are the muddy roads of Chunqiu.

Compared with those pedantic examiners, these people do not have so many principles, and they do not pay attention to the incompatibility of their positions, and their reputation is not good, as long as the money is in place, and the backers exposed are hard enough to scare people, they are willing to make some small moves, of course, there are also bad places, that is, these people are in charge of things, relatively single, one or two people are difficult to achieve, there are many people and mixed mouths, and their discipline is also difficult to be trusted.

On the second day after the start of the examination, at noon, two carts appeared at the end of the street and headed for the Gongyuan Academy.

"Stand down," the official guarding outside the door stretched out his hand to stop.

"Master Jun, it's me, a familiar face, an errand inside, buy meals and come back" Next to the cart, out of a middle-aged soap-clothed errand soldier, nodded and waisted, his face was about to laugh, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, there was a conspicuous big black mole on his left cheek, sticking out a long black hair, it was very easy to identify, he took out the money bag from his arms, and quickly stuffed it into the arms of the official messenger headed by him, "They are all in charge of official business, and please ask the military master to make it convenient, if the time is delayed, it will be difficult for the brother to do"

The official glanced at him, pressed it in his arms, hard, at least three or five times, and greeted people with a smile at the moment, "The officials can have an explanation, and they have to search when they enter and exit, and it is not easy for you to think about it today, so there is not much to do, remember it accurately, but there is no next time"

"That's that, thank you Jun Ye, thank you Jun Ye" The big black mole thanked him, turned around and changed his face, jumped to his feet and scolded his subordinates, "Don't hurry up, you lazy donkeys and lazy horses, it's all you bastards, and you also involve the military master"

The brown-clothed servants under his command were all working hard, and they didn't dare to talk back to him, so they pushed the cart with their heads buried and squeaked through the level.

"Thief fucking bird, this errand is really not done by people" The big black mole wiped the oil and sweat on his forehead, and his heart palpitated, "What kind of goods are these nobles looking at, and they are still raised, I bah"

It's no wonder that the big black mole spurned, the nobleman who paid for it explained that he had to take care of the eleven candidates, and three of them were assigned to him, and it was extremely difficult to complete.

He moved around, got through an errand officer in charge of the search, and let these three people carry the cheat sheet into the tribute courtyard.

When he collected the test papers, he secretly stuffed two test papers to them, and first went to collect the test papers of others, how big the examination room was, enough to have two sticks of incense, and finally received them in front of them, however, he was disappointed again, on their papers, there were only a few handwriting, and they were crooked, and the big black mole was an old man, and they all felt ugly.

The big black mole thought that his luck was not good, and he was assigned the most unsightly relation, so he went to inquire about the progress of the other two peers, and then he realized that it really had nothing to do with him, and the other eight people, although they were better, but they were also limited, presumably their fame and fame were all obtained by cheating all the way.

Seeing the second day of the exam, if you don't do anything else, I'm afraid it won't be too late, thinking of the silver money promised by the nobleman, no matter how the big black mole curses, you can only have a comfortable mouth, and you have to take the risk.

"This kind of person can also release brown into the court, as a big official, the old man is really blind" The big black mole scolded, and personally pushed a car to the thatched house in the most corner of the Gongyuan, which is very remote, a little far from the examination room, almost no one will come here to pay tribute, and it has been deserted.

The big black mole moved a large wooden barrel down with his hands, and he was panting from exhaustion.

"Tuk tuk" he knocked on the barrel with his fingers and whispered, "Come out"

The lid was lifted open by a head wearing a tattered turban, and a thin young man like a bamboo pole crawled out, his face was vegetable, and he looked like skin and bones, and the clothes on his body were also tattered, and the patches were overlapping and heavy, but it was vaguely evident that it was a shirt that only scribes and scholars had.

"Isn't it an order to be a young student, what is this place? Why sneaky? Zi said, the right way is straight, the gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, the little life is poor, and he would rather die to preach the Tao than do that sneaky and immoral thing, so that the reputation of the famous religion will be tarnished.

"Hmph, gentleman, you know that you are gentlemen" The big black mole scoffed, and in the past, he was still a little in awe of scholars, but now he saw the three Sven scum, but he swept away, took out the usual money in his hand, and dangled in front of the young man, "You can play your scholarly temper, you don't know if you die, your seriously ill old lady will not survive."

The young man's conspicuous Adam's apple moved up and down, the divine light in his eyes gradually faded, he turned his face, clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Xiaosheng only writes about the text, and he doesn't know anything about it, so he doesn't do anything."

"Come on, you, just your body, as if you can do anything" The big black mole pushed him a few times, and got a square stool from the car, "You just stay here, don't move, I'll come in with the topic later, you write quickly, use three kinds of handwriting, write three different articles, remember clearly, if you make a mistake, there is no penny, you have to spare you"

After saying that, the big black mole pulled out his legs and was about to leave.

"Respectful and slow, the handwriting and articles are all trivial things, but the flowers and flying leaves" The young man seemed to be surrounded by a halo, his chest was straight, and he was proud, "It's just that the text is a holy thing, and in this pickled place, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, and it may be a cleaner place."

The big black mole rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and the usual money in his hand began to sway again.

"That's it, that's it, Zi said, the scholar must be Hongyi, the responsibility is heavy and there is a long way to go, Xiaosheng endured it" The young man was short of breath after all, and he didn't dare to say more.

"Reader, ahh
