Chen Yu and Lu Tao came out of the academy and arrived at Qingshen County, although it is not big, but it is better to flow through the Shu River, and the people are rich and prosperous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At present, there is not yet the first month, there is little water in the river, and there is no big boat, and in order to get to Yizhou as soon as possible, the two of them hired two donkeys.

In fact, with Chen Wei's financial resources, buying a horse is nothing, in order to take care of Lu Tao, he can only ride a donkey.

Lu Tao secretly calculated that hiring a donkey would cost 10 Jiaozi, which was more than 5 times more expensive than usual! The money in his pocket is only three guanjiaozi, and there are less than a hundred coppers, if he doesn't hurry to Yizhou, I'm afraid that he won't even have money for food!

"Brother Ji Chang, what do you say is going on, overnight, Jiaozi is worthless?"

Chen Yu was born in a famous family, and there are a lot of jinshi in the family, so he naturally knows more than Lu Tao.

"Alas, my father went home to visit relatives in the first few years, when he went out of Sichuan to take the Jinshi examination, he always had to exchange 600 coppers for his son, and when he came back, there were only 400 left, my father said at the time, if it goes on like this, Jiaozi will become a piece of waste paper sooner or later, I really didn't expect that it was fulfilled after only a few years of hard work."

Lu Tao was anxious, "This, if this Jiaozi is not valuable, how many people will go bankrupt!" Which dog officer did it? It's so hateful! ”

"Dog officer?"

Chen Yu smiled, "Brother Yuanjun, do you think the Cheng family is a dog official?" ”

"This ...... There was also a jinshi in the previous generation of their family, and this generation was counted from Cheng Zhicai, and they couldn't pass the exam...... Could it be that Brother Ji Chang means the wealthy Jiang Qing, everyone in the Shi clan? Lu Tao exclaimed: "They are also Shu people, why should they harm their fathers and fellow villagers?" ”

Chen Yu smiled, and said in his heart that his classmate was really naïve, no matter what kind of father and fellow villagers, he would never be soft when he hurt people. On the contrary, the more you are your own people, the more ruthless you are!

Knock on the bone and suck the marrow, you can do anything!

Not long ago, the Chen family also got the news.

Jiang Qing, a family in Shuzhong, told them not to cooperate with Wang Ning'an, as long as everyone is united and drives Wang Ning'an away, this land of Bashu is up to them.

There are many scholars in the Chen family, and they are considered to be new to the wealthy family, but Chen Xiliang is an upright official, and the Chen family has strict rules.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "Jiaozi's benefits are too great, so big that many people are crazy...... Brother Yuanjun, to put it mildly, my father was admitted to the Jinshi more than ten years ago, and if I want to enter the Jinshi, it will only be in the evening...... However, I have seen through these flies and dogs, and sometimes I think that it is not bad to live in seclusion in the mountains and be a Taoist priest without being contaminated with red dust. ”

Lu Tao said curiously: "Brother Ji Chang is noble and noble, and the younger brother is ashamed, but since Brother Ji Chang has plans to hide in the world, why is he still enthusiastic about studying and going to Yizhou?" ”

Chen Yu smiled heartily, "I was forced by my father to study, and as for going to Yizhou, I was visiting a friend." ”

"Friends?"

"That's right, it's last year's Jinshi, Su Shi, Su Zizhan! The two of us grew up bare-assed. ”

Chen Yu didn't brag, his father and Su Xun were fellow villagers, they studied together in their early years, and when they were only a few years old, he played with Su Shi, and the two boys also ran to the mountains to find immortals, wanting to learn from immortals.

It took Su Laoquan two days to find them out, Su Shi was beaten fat, and from then on, he didn't dare to think about the immortals, but Chen Yu, as he grew older, he never forgot his childhood dream.

This time, the father and son of the Su family came to Yizhou on an errand, and of course Chen Yu wanted to meet good friends.

These two people talked and laughed all the way, Lu Tao knew a lot of inside information, he hated the greed of the Jiang Qing family, and he also became interested in the Su family, don't get me wrong, he just admired Da Su's talent, and wanted to learn from a teacher and increase his knowledge.

As they spoke, they came to a mountain range, and suddenly, from both sides of the road, a group of masked men rushed out. Teeth and claws, as if possessed by a ghost.

Lu Tao was a scholar, and he was stupid at the time.

Chen Yu was stronger than him, and he had learned a few kung fu, so he immediately drew his sword and scolded angrily: "What do you want to do? ”

"Don't do anything!" The big man at the head carried a long knife and sneered: "Obediently leave the money and get out of here, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Lu Tao was so frightened that he clung to his burden and rode back on a donkey. Chen Yu grabbed the sword and protected the two people.

"I can tell you, we are students of Zhongyan Academy, and my father is a court official, if you dare to touch us, the court will not let you go!"

"Imperial court! Hahaha, in the realm of Bashu, we are the imperial court! ”

Saying that, the gang rushed up, Chen Yu's kung fu fought two or three at most, he tried his best to dance the sword, but it was useless, fortunately, these people didn't want his life, otherwise ten Chen Yu would have died.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

A troop of cavalry swept over from far and near.

Before the thieves could understand what was going on, they beat them to the ground, and many of them lost their lives, and only a few escaped.

Chen Yu and Lu Tao hurriedly dusted off their clothes and came over to give a salute.

"Student Chen Yu (Lu Tao), thank you for saving your life!"

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, someone shouted and shouted excitedly: "Brother Ji Chang, you owe me a life!" ”

Chen Yu hurriedly picked his head, it was none other than Su Shi!

When the good friends met, Chen Yu was very happy and greeted each other, and Su Shi told Chen Yu that since Wang Ning'an recruited officials from several academies, the students of these academies had been threatened.

Some relied on force, others took money to bribe, and tried their best to stop them in their homes. If someone insists on going to Yizhou, it doesn't matter, they arrange people to play the role of the king of the mountain on the road, and the cowardly ones are directly scared away, like Chen Yu, they rob their luggage and money, so that they can't make the trip.

Someone is going to ask, aren't you afraid of a backlash if you attack a student?

I'm really not afraid, after all, it's not hurting people's lives, the impact is not big, as long as you delay for a while, and lose a little money, it will be solved.

These people can afford to drag it, but Wang Ningan can't afford it!

As long as it is half a month, no one in the Yizhou Yamen will handle official business, and the city of hundreds of thousands of people will be in chaos, and Wang Ningan will have to roll out of Bashu with his tail between his legs!

Of course, Wang Ningan is not a vegetarian, he had expected it a long time ago, so he scattered people to protect the students. Su Shi and Liu Yu with 200 cavalry had already escorted several waves of students back and forth.

Da Su was familiar with the road, he walked to the side of the leader of the big man, this guy was stabbed, cut from the middle, covered in blood, endured the fishy smell, and tore off the veil.

"Brother Ji Chang, let's see who wants to harm you?"

Chen Yu approached and was suddenly stunned, "Why is he?" ”

"Who?"

"He, his name is Cheng Gui, is ...... is the family member of the Cheng family, and accompanied Cheng Zhixun to Zhongyan Academy. ”

"What?"

Su Shi was shocked!

Counting, Cheng Zhixun is still his cousin!

Although Su Banniang and Cheng Zhicai's marriage is yellow, Su Shi's mother, Mrs. Cheng, is still the daughter of the Cheng family and the aunt of Cheng Zhicai's brother.

Although the two families fell out, the Cheng family was still there, and the bones were connected to the tendons.

When he entered Shu, Su Shi reminded his mother and asked her to warn the Cheng family not to get involved in this struggle.

It's really unexpected, the Cheng family doesn't know whether they are alive or dead, so they have to get involved!

They are living impatiently!

Su Shi's lips were blue, and he didn't have no interest in talking all the way, and he was angry.

Sending people to Yizhou is considered to have completed a task.

"My lord, there are about 300 scholars who have come to sign up one after another, and after deducting useless waste, I'm afraid that less than 100 people will be admitted." Chen Shunzhi introduced.

Wang Ning'an frowned, "How about the errand officer?" ”

"That's a lot of people." Chen Shunzhi said: "200 people were selected from the soap subordinate, and 300 were recruited from Yizhou, if the adults feel that it is not enough, they can recruit more." ”

Wang Ning'an frowned, the reason why he fired hundreds of people at once and threw out the matter of recruiting new officials was not reckless.

He spent a month communicating with all parties before, just to win over people and isolate those who stood behind Jiaoziwu!

Wang Ningan felt that with his ability to flicker, coupled with the strength of Sansu, Wang Fang and others, he could at least fight on an equal footing with the family.

Three or five hundred scribes, not a problem.

Who knew that it was only a third of the target!

Jiang Qing's family, the strength is really not small!

Wang Ningan is a very aggressive person, and he is strong when he is strong, and he refuses to admit defeat easily.

"I thought that this official was just this little method, but they were wrong!"

Wang Ningan said categorically: "Go to the branch of the Royal Bank of Yizhou, transfer 50 account rooms for me, and enter the prefect's yamen." In addition, go to the Sword Pavilion again, and transfer 150 people from the Sichuan-Shaanxi Straight Road! ”

It is said that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and Wang Ningan has always kept ten or eight holes, which is more cunning than rabbits and foxes!

Needless to say, the people of the Royal Bank, Wen Yanbo, that old bastard, was also on Wang Ning'an's side, he secretly Chen Cang, and sent a large number of capable scribes to enter Bashu in the name of cultivating the straight road.

Finally it worked!

Add up to 200 people, quickly enter the post, they all have rich experience, quickly get started, no hesitation.

The exam was also held at the same time, and Su Laoquan personally proposed and invigilated the exam.

The topic is not difficult, that is, one article, 5 arithmetic, 20 general education questions, and it is limited to one hour to complete.

There is no such fancy poetry and songs, and there is no need to make arguments, as long as the writing is clear and clear.

But even so, you can see the high and low, most candidates are one head and two big in the face of arithmetic, and they can't wait to lift their toes up, but it's useless.

Most of them can answer two, one, and they can already pass.

But among so many people, there are exceptions, such as Lu Tao, who answered all five questions correctly.

"It's not easy, you can see that you have worked arithmetic."

Lu Tao hurriedly bowed, "In my spare time, students have read Mr. Wang's arithmetic books, and I admire Mr. Wang's knowledge very much. ”

Su Xun heard him mention Wang Ning'an, and couldn't help but say with a dark face: "At a young age, don't learn to slap horses!" Do your errands with your heart! ”

Lu Tao was so frightened that he nodded hurriedly, not daring to say more.

There is also a person who answered 4 questions correctly, and it is Chen Yu.

"Family history, no one answers much, shame on your father!" Su Xun has always had a poisonous tongue, and Chen Xun lowered his head and stared at his toes.

"Okay, you go to the house immediately, there is an inventory of the property handed over to the son, don't be careless."
