"You really don't know the severity of your move!" The Jinshi who took the lead was enraged, "Before you participated in the test, you sneered at us who had passed the three levels? I, Hu, still have a rank of Jinshi, and I will be a person who will have an official body in the future, and you are contemptuous of the officials of the imperial court......"

"Do you really know how to put a hat on yourself......" Liu Yong stood up and said sarcastically, "I haven't been sent to an official position for three years, and I don't think about my own shortcomings, but I came here to laugh at the exam-taking moves?" ”

That Hu Jinshi saw that Liu Yong's beard was unshaven, his hair was slightly messy, and the coarse cloth robe he was wearing looked a little shabby, he didn't know that this was Liu Yong's open-mindedness and casualness, and thought that he was a subordinate, so he said angrily: "You dare to stand up and speak and laugh at our Jinshi?" Needless to say, let's make a few couplets to let you know that Jinshi is not easy to mess with! ”

Jinshi challenges the lifter, is there still a chance of winning the lift?

Are you a subordinate? Liu Yong was amused in his heart, squeezed his eyes at Liu Ming, decided to plan the plan, and said to that Hu Jinshi: "Our master's knowledge, that is placed in Qingzhou, is said to be the first, and no one dares to call it the second." Kill chickens with a knife, and I, a servant, will fight against you! ”

Liu Ming thought to himself that his uncle was also a living treasure, and he was very familiar with acting. He estimated that there was still plenty of time, so he played with the other party.

When Hu Jinshi heard that the subordinates of this move wanted to compare the pair with himself, he was so angry that he almost fell off the horse, he blew his beard and said: "Who is so arrogant and presumptuous! It seems that it's not that I'm insulting the reader, it's that you insult Sven, and a subordinate who does manual work dares to come and fight against me? ”

Liu Yong didn't pay attention to him, and went directly to Shanglian: "Immediately, you seem to be talented."

This is the provocation of the ** naked Liu Daguan, and several Jinshi were stunned for a while by this cold Shanglian.

Liu Yong raised his head and urged: "A few couplets, do you have to go back and ask your teacher for advice?" ”

The lifters burst into laughter. This Hu Jinshi blushed and said, "Don't worry, it'll be there soon." He tried his best to think of a beautiful and secure downlink.

It is really embarrassing for this dignified scholar to be forced to be so embarrassed by a subordinate.

However, Hu Jinshi rode on a horse, scratching his ears and cheeks, but he never came up with the best answer.

Liu Yong snorted and said: "Master Jinshi can't be right, then I'll do the next couplet, immediately you seem to be eight high, and the cloth clothes under the hall are the nine heavens." ”

Liu Ming's poetry was also brought out, and he said with a smile:

"Horizontal batch - gold and jade."

There was a cheer next to him, this was a wonderful performance by the uncle and nephew of the Liu family.

Liu Ming's uncle and nephew jointly made couplets and horizontal criticisms, which dealt a devastating psychological blow to these arrogant jinshi.

The faces of the Jinshi on the horses were extremely ugly - the upper and lower links were obviously sarcastic to themselves. Especially that Hu Jinshi, who was weak and short of breath, was anxious, his eyes were black, and he turned off the horse on the spot, but fortunately, Liu Yong's eyes were quick and he stepped forward to help him.

After the nearly fifty-year-old jinshi came to his senses, he was ashamed when he saw Liu Yong, and immediately hid his face and rode away.

The Jinshi are also embarrassed, do you still need to continue to compare with the master? This servant alone is only eight buckets high, and he is an extremely smart person, and the master needs to be said. They immediately got on their horses without saying a word, and slipped away from Liu Ming's team.

Liu Ming was also not polite, and then shouted to concede, and led the lifters to continue to the examination room with a big grin.

At this time, before dawn, there was already a crowd of people at the entrance of the examination room. Candidates from various counties and counties followed behind the teachers of the county colleges. In order to prevent the candidates from getting lost, the leading teachers made all kinds of strange and colorful lanterns, which were dazzling in the dark night, like a lantern festival.

Liu Ming arrived at the assembly point for the exam, and found that Liu Yong, who was still talking and laughing just now, turned gloomy in an instant.

He said, "Uncle, your face doesn't look good today, you might as well go back early." ”

Liu Yong nodded solemnly: "Ming'er, then I'll go first......"

Liu Ming looked at Liu Yong's back and thought to himself why his uncle was so abnormal today.

At this time, the hour has come, and the candidates are ready to enter the roll call. The door was also opened, and two men dressed as officials carried two rosters and patrolled in front of each team.

Those officials began to announce the discipline of the examination room as usual, as well as many disciplinary measures, warning the candidates.

Liu Ming lined up in the queue, patiently waiting to enter, but found that a tall and thin candidate with a long beard behind him looked very strange and uneasy.

At first, he thought the other party was nervous, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became. After observing for a while, Liu Ming suddenly frowned, patted the other party's shoulder, lowered his voice and said nervously:

"Uncle Yong, what kind of trouble are you doing?"

The long-bearded candidate's face turned pale, and he said unnaturally: "This son, I'm afraid he recognized the wrong object." ”

"Uncle Yong, if we have been together for so long, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I couldn't even tell you apart?" Liu Ming smiled bitterly. This long-bearded candidate, although his eyebrows and beard have been modified, his whole person's expression is the same as Liu Yong.

"Ming'er...... Don't make a noise! After disguise, Liu Yong finally disarmed and surrendered.

Liu Ming chuckled in his heart. My uncle has already passed the threshold for the exam, why did he come here to take the cross-dressing exam?

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately pulled Yoo Young to the side of the line.

"Uncle, what the hell is going on?" Liu Ming said solemnly.

Liu Yong sighed, "Everything is trapped by love. He took out a folded white silk from his arms, and slowly unfolded the white silk, the contents of which made Liu Ming frown.

The vermilion fly-headed small block on the fine silk is dense, with a faint fishy smell, this is a blood letter.

"Liu promised Miss Xie that he was willing to redeem her body within a month, and the sea was dry and rotten, and she would not change her ......"

Liu Ming read the content on the silk, thinking that this Miss Xie is also strong-natured, and her infatuation with Uncle Yong has not changed, so that she chased thousands of miles from Bianjing to this side of Qingzhou. The more Liu Ming reads, the more he can feel that the words on the silk are faintly revealing his reluctance, presumably it must be the strong personality of Xie Yuying who forced his Uncle Yong to do it.

"Uncle Yong, I'm afraid that Qinglou won't let Xie Yuying go so easily." Liu Ming said worriedly.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Liu Yong's eyes were gloomy, "That old lady in Qinglou, she refused at first, I talked to Xie Yuying about it, and even Xie Yuying forced each other to die, which made the old mother relieved and said that she wanted to ...... Before that, they all transferred the night pearl presented by the envoy Gongzi, and they were willing to release them. ”

The pearl of the night?

Liu Ming remembered that in the Qinglou before, a rich and noble son who was a transfer envoy suddenly took out the night pearl of Dali's tribute as a bidding weight. It's just that Xie Yuying is infatuated with Liu Yong and turns a blind eye to such a treasure, but she doesn't want to be remembered by that ** son.

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. Although Xie Yuying thought so in her heart, the ** didn't think so. This pearl of the night, I'm afraid it's an excuse for the ** son to deliberately embarrass the two.

Liu Yong recalled: "Originally, when the old mother said the Pearl of the Night, I knew that she was deliberately embarrassing us. Xie Yuying had the idea of eloping away with me. But I, Liu Yong, walk in the world, and I am talking about being right. If you elope with someone secretly, what difference is it from the rat crossing the street? There was no end to the road, and I went to visit the palace of the prince of the capital transfer, and learned that he had sold the pearl of the night to another rich merchant. I went to the rich businessman, and they said, it's not that I don't want to, but I need to do something, and he has a son who is also ...... this autumn."

"You're saying you promised to be a substitute gunner?" Liu Ming was surprised.

Now, Liu Yong had to nod and admit: "Ming'er, the gold lord said that as long as I agree to take the substitute exam, if I am admitted, the night pearl will be mine." ”

This kind of thing has been around for a long time in ancient times. For example, pass the question on the sidelines, let the gunner answer it, and then pass it on the field. As the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, no matter how severe the punishment is, there are still gunmen who are willing to go out. Wen Tingyun, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, was a famous gunman, who once completed an exam to replace the feat of eight people.

Liu Ming said bitterly: "Uncle Yong, you are confused." This night pearl, you can think of another way. If Qiu Yan's cheating is discovered, he will be removed from the list forever, and he will be punished for prison. Besides, then Xie Yuying is infatuated with you, if you talk to her well, come to me again, I will allocate some silver taels to that **, and everyone will discuss it, it may not be impossible. You are now making dangerous moves, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. ”

As the two were talking, they heard the official in front of them shouting: "Fei County students, wait in line in the alley on the right!" ”

With the exam just around the corner, Yoo Myung had to stop talking to Yoo Yong, and the two returned to the team, waiting for further instructions.

Then, only a column of neat footsteps was heard, and a team of sergeants trotted out of the gate of the academy, with a serious expression and an indifferent expression looking at the candidates of Liu Ming's team.

A powerful military attache in the lead shouted in a low voice, "Fei County student, stick to the wall and remove your clothes." ”

At the sound of the order, everyone could only reluctantly obey the order, took off their long shirts tremblingly, and stood by the wall wearing only undershirts.

The military attache paced back and forth behind these candidates who were trembling in the autumn wind with his hands behind his back, but there was no trace of pity on his face, and his eyes shot towards the candidate like cold lightning. Suddenly, he took three steps and two steps, stepped behind one of the candidates, reached under the candidate's armpits, and began to fumble.

"This official, I am a scholar...... Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated......" The gentleman was so touched by a man in public that he had to say with a red face.

The military attache ignored it completely, and still searched on his own, and after a while, he took out a stack of small pieces of paper from the person who raised the man, and sneered, "You are also a soldier?" He turned to look at the two sergeants standing by behind him, and ordered, "Fork out, and the staff will be punished twenty first!" ”

When the lifter saw that he had missed the filling, the expression on his face was like a mournful examination, and his whole body suddenly went limp, and he was taken out. Of the rest of the team, one was found to have a mezzanine from the inkstone, and the other was found to have an entrainment from the insole.

Before the candidates had time to put on their clothes, they heard the sound of loud water and fire sticks hitting the skin of the flesh in the backyard, as well as the painful screams of the candidates. This can't help but make the remaining candidates show a sense of sadness for the dead fox.

Frightened by this, several candidates were already in a trance, and their shoes and clothes were put on very slowly, which made the sergeant next to them curse and urge again.

After the military attache found out the three entrainments, he looked at the remaining silent candidates, and coldly popped out a few words from his mouth: "I know, there are still some people who escaped by luck, but you know that the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and many injustices will kill themselves, everyone...... Shape up or ship out. ”
