"This champion lottery is a kind of gambling method set up by the store about this test, with the name and odds of each move, let everyone bet, buy who can win the champion, the smaller the odds, the higher the prestige of this person, but this is just a trick of businessmen, we don't need to pay attention." Ling Ce explained.

"Huh? Wouldn't that have my odds too? Then I'll have to check it out. Saying that, Tang Ning squeezed over, and found it embarrassing at a glance, because his odds are one of the highest among several people, which means that no one is optimistic that he can be admitted to the champion, of course, Tang Ning himself also knows his own business, and it is not easy to be admitted to the Jinshi, as for the champion, he didn't even think about it.

When they arrived at the room, Ling Ce and Tang Ning chatted a few more words, and then said goodbye and left, but just when Tang Ning was about to rest, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he asked casually, it turned out that the shopkeeper just now came to bring hot water to himself, but he didn't expect that after the shopkeeper sent hot water, he suddenly closed the door, and then asked Tangning sneakily: "Mr. Fan, I don't know why, I feel that I am particularly close to you as soon as I see you, so I have a great thing to tell you here!" ”

"Oh? What's the good thing? Tang Ning asked curiously.

I saw that the shopkeeper carefully took out a beautifully bound booklet in his arms, and then whispered to Tang Ning: "Don't hide it, don't look at me as just a shopkeeper, but I have a relative who works in the palace, and this time by chance, he actually got the test questions for this scientific examination." To be honest, this is a big deal to lose my head, but I think you are really in love with Mr. Fan, so I would rather take the risk and sell this test question to you for a price of fifty taels? ”

After watching the performance of the shopkeeper, Tang Ning almost laughed out loud, because this scam is really too clumsy, how could he have a shopkeeper to have the test questions of the imperial examination, and if he really has, how could he sell fifty taels, this is obviously to see that he is a move from other provinces, and he is old, and he feels that he is so good, so he comes to deceive himself.

But Tang Ning didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he waved his hand and said no, but the shopkeeper still didn't give up and continued to sell: "You don't think it's expensive, right?" In that case, I can't tell anyone about this anyway, so I'll just give you a cheaper one, only thirty taels, and by the way, I'll give you a copy of the most popular "The Merry Story of Ma Shangshu". As he spoke, he took out a thick book from his waist.

Originally, Tang Ning still didn't care, but because the range of the shopkeeper was a little large, Tang Ning accidentally saw that this "The Romance of Ma Shangshu" not only had illustrations, but also a picture of the Spring Palace, which immediately aroused his interest, and he took the book casually, opened it and saw that sure enough, it was a proper little yellow text, and it was also with an illustrated version.

So he said to the shopkeeper: "That's it, I don't want your test question, but I'll give you half a tael of silver, and leave me this copy of "The Merry Story of Ma Shangshu". ”

"Huh? It turns out that Mr. Fan, hello, that's great, I still have a lot of treasures there, I'll bring them to you in a while. The shopkeeper took the silver and ran out in a hurry.

And Tang Ning looked at his back and secretly sighed, this college entrance examination industry chain has been around since the Ming Dynasty, and it is more ruthless than the current champion meals and champion rooms, at least there is no champion color in modern times.

In the evening, when Tang Ning went to invite Ling Ce to dinner, he suddenly found that Ling Ce's expression was very strange, so he asked curiously, "Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

Ling Ce shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that I met two familiar candidates outside just now, these two people studied quite hard, and they were in the room every day in addition to eating, but just now I actually found that the two of them were drunk, and they also said wildly, saying that the top three this time are none other than the two of them, which makes me very puzzled, where did they get the confidence?" ”

"Maybe it's just drinking too much and bragging." Downing replied casually.

"Absolutely impossible, I can see that although the two of them have not drunk less, they are very sober and are definitely not drunk, so there must be something wrong with this." Ling Ce frowned and analyzed.

Facts proved that Ling Ce's suspicions were justified, and within a few days, these two students, who claimed to be in the top three, were murdered. It is said that Juzi was killed, this should be a big and important case, but the government was perfunctory, and without careful investigation, Tang Ning couldn't help but think about it carefully, and finally Ling Ce got the news, saying that these two Juzi offended people who should not be offended, so they were destroyed.

Originally, Tang Ning thought that this matter would not have anything to do with him, but he didn't expect that when the shopkeeper brought hot water to him in the evening, he suddenly came over and whispered: "Mr. Fan, I really got the imperial examination questions this time, do you want to?" ”

Tang Ning laughed with some displeasure: "Little second brother, we have all dealt with each other so many times, is it too unkind for you to lie to me with this hand?" ”

"Mr. Fan, it's because we've traded so many times that I trust your character that's why I'm telling you. I promise, this time I got absolutely 80% sure that it was true, so this time I didn't dare to lie to people as before, and I also knew that this matter was going to lose my head, so I really only told you about it. If you don't buy it, I'd rather rot it in my stomach and never take this risk if I don't make this money. The shopkeeper hurriedly argued.

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Tang Ning felt that it might be the truth, so he took advantage of the shopkeeper's unpreparedness and used the "Spiritual Victory Method" on him, and then asked softly, "Where did you get this test question?" ”

The shopkeeper replied in a daze: "After learning the death letter of Chen Juzi and Fang Juzi from Shuzhou that day, I sneaked into their room before the government arrived, and I was going to steal some money and leave, but suddenly I saw a particularly secret box that was preserved, which contained this test question, and then I heard someone talk that the two of them learned the handle of a big man, so this was killed, so I wondered if this test question was what they got by threatening the big man." ”

Hearing this, Tang Ning pondered for a moment, then copied a copy of the test questions, and pushed out the shopkeeper who had not yet woken up.

To be honest, Tang Ning didn't believe that this was the real question, because since people were already planning to kill it, how could they give you the real question, so it was just just in case.
