In the afternoon, the weapons test of the martial arts gradually entered the **, the candidates were examined one after another, practicing weapons, Wang Shichong sat on the examiner's seat, looking a little worried, although Yang Yuanqing's competition in the morning made him famous, but Wang Shichong was still worried that this was deliberately arranged by Yang Su, as a senior minister of the Great Sui army, Yang Su would not see the fraud of this martial arts?

Many children of the family only scored five or six points in the riding and archery test, but they were promoted to nine points and ten points, surpassing those who are really strong in martial arts, especially Yang Su's grandson is also among them, and he got a score of four points and was promoted to nine points.

If Yang Su told the saint that the martial arts fraud would inevitably fail, and Wang Shichong knew the consequences of the final defeat, the saint would generally not severely punish important ministers like Yuwenshu, but would use these petty officials as scapegoats and use them to open the knife, Yuwenshu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, at this time he is too busy to protect himself, and he will definitely not intercede for himself. /Very/

It is not easy for Wang Shi to be an official, he cherishes his position as a member of the military department, and he does not want to be deposed to the people or even imprisoned because of this incident.

Wang Shichong finally decided to exonerate himself first, he got up and smiled at another examiner next to him: "I'll go to Xiaojie, I'll come soon." ”

He turned and went out of the back tent, and just as he was going out, suddenly there was a 'Whoa!' from the back tent. , as if something had been dumped, and then there was a scream, followed by Wang Shichong's cry for help, "Brother Zhao, come and help me!" ”

The other examiner was stunned, immediately jumped up, and ran over, and the other dozen or so people in the big tent also ran to the back tent, and the candidates who were taking the spear stopped dancing, and the exam was temporarily in the middle of the exam

Everyone ran to the back tent, only to see Wang Shichong fall to the ground, dozens of spears stacked by the tent fell down, pressed on him, one of the spears pierced his leg and stomach and bled like a torrent, everyone panicked, hurriedly went to find hemostatic medicine, and the big tent was in chaos.

Wang Shichong was so painful that he shouted that everyone did not dare to pull out the spear for him, so he carried him to another rest tent with all hands and feet.

The chief examiner Li Gang happened to be inspecting here, he rushed over when he heard the news, and saw that Wang Shichong was covered in blood, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you so careless?" ”

"Back to the waiter, the lowly duty was in a hurry, and he hurried to Xiaojie and accidentally tripped over the weapon rack, the lowly duty is really... It's so careless! ”

Li Gang squatted down to check the injury for him, and pierced his leg and stomach, which was fatal, but I am afraid that this examiner will not be able to do it.

"Forget it, you go back and rest for a few days! I'll go to the military department and find another officer to replace you. ”

Wang Shichong was secretly happy in his heart, many people he had arranged for Yuwenshu had given high marks, Yuwenshu could explain the rest, he didn't want to care, anyway, Yuwenshu's cronies were not the only ones, he was injured by accident Yuwenshu couldn't blame him.

"Thank you, I'm really sorry for the humiliation, I'm sorry for causing trouble to the waiter. Very"

Several of them cut off the exposed spears for him, arranged for a carriage, and sent him back.

Li Gang said to He again: "The examination of Wang Shichong's group is suspended, and we will start retaking the exam after the new recruits from the military department." ”

He secretly scolded in his heart, Wang Shichong slipped away, and the matter described by Yuwen fell on his head, and he had no choice but to agree to arrange the exam.

Half an hour later, two military officials were transferred from the capital, and the exam continued to start, Li Gang left the second list, and went to the first list to inspect, Yang Su was not in good health in the morning, and then went back to the house to rest, which made Li Gang secretly relieved......

He was patrolling the examination room, when a practitioner hurriedly walked in, whispered a few words in his ear, He nodded, turned around and walked out of the big tent, he walked all the way, and soon came to the gate of the barracks, only to see Yu Wenzhihe standing outside the barracks, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Little General Yuwen, is there something wrong?"

There are soldiers guarding the entrance of the barracks, and idlers are not allowed to enter, Yuwen Zhihe gave him a look, and the two walked to a corner where no one was.

"What's going on with Wang Shichong?"

Yuwen Zhiji's first sentence was to ask, he came to Wang Shichong first, and the soldiers guarding the door told him that Wang Yuanwailang was seriously injured and was sent to first aid, and in the mouths of those soldiers, things were often exaggerated several times to show that they were well-informed, which really scared Yuwen Zhihe.

"It's not a big deal."

He smiled bitterly and said, "He was accidentally stabbed by a fallen spear and sent back to the capital for treatment." ”

"Why is this happening, can he still be an examiner?"

He shook his head, "Li Shilang has already changed the examiner, and it is estimated that he can only withdraw from martial arts." ”

"And what about my father?"

Yuwen Zhihe stared at He fiercely, he didn't care about Wang Shichong's life or death, he only thought about Yuwen's family collecting money to do things for others.

"He Langzhong, you are the person who was picked up by my father, and you have to withstand it at this critical time."

He sighed, "I understand that I won't miss the general's affairs, I will arrange it."

"That's good!"

Yuwen Zhihe patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "After the matter is done, my father will not forget what he promised you, and he will promote you to be the squire of the Ministry of Works next year." ”

He Xin also warmed up, it was not a day or two that he longed to be promoted, he was already in his early forties, and if he didn't get promoted, he would have no chance, he immediately gave a deep salute, "Thank you, Gongzi, please tell the general, I will definitely finish the martial arts." ”

Yuwen Zhihe nodded, took out a note from his arms and stuffed it into him, "This is the last person, he is still in Luoyang, and he is on the way here, make up an exam for him, be sure to let him be admitted to the martial arts, and it is best to make him a military officer, you know?" ”

Although Yuwen Shu was not allowed to be promoted to an officer, Yuwen Zhiji did not want to give up the three hundred taels of gold, in his opinion, it was cheating anyway, and it was better to get the maximum benefit.

He frowned, he asked him to arrange it before he came, and he had to be admitted to the officer, which was too much, but he didn't dare to refuse openly, "This.... The total number of people taking the examination has already been reported to the Ministry of War, and I am afraid that it will not be possible. ”

"You don't come to this set!"

Yuwen Zhihe grabbed He's collar and said viciously: "I know you have a way, don't shirk it for me!" ”

Yuwen Zhihe shook him off, and took out his father's gold medal and shook it in front of his eyes, "This is what my father meant, if you can't do it, don't tell me, go and explain it to my father." ”

He Tou is extremely big, upset, but helpless, in fact, Yu Wenzhihe is right, how can they have no way, today it happens that Yang Wei and the other two candidates give up the exam and vacate three places, he can use these empty places to make up for an exam, and then replace the test left by the Ministry of War, and then alter the registration record, so that the total number of people remains the same, seamless.

"Good Reading Pavilion! I did my best. ”

"It's not about doing your best, you have to do it, others can give up a few, but you must arrange for this person to be admitted and become an official, remember?"

"I'm 6 dead!"

He Haolu is also a soldier in his forties, and he was reprimanded by a stunned youth, and he couldn't let go of his face, and couldn't help but blush, arched his hand, turned around and left.

"He Langzhong, your career is here!" Yuwen Zhiji added coldly in the back.

He paused for a moment, then quickened his pace, and quickly walked back to the barracks, Yu Wenzhi looked at his back, and smiled proudly, although this person wants face, but he wants a future.

After a series of events, everything became quiet again, as if no one was paying attention to this matter anymore, Yang Su was not in good health, and he just went to inspect the examination room every morning.

The time has reached the third day, the martial arts have finally ended, and the warriors have begun to return from outside the city one after another, and the capital has begun to be lively again.

In the afternoon, Yang Yuanqing and the old housekeeper Ding Lu walked slowly in the corridor leading to the back house, Niuniu followed behind with her hands behind her back, not breaking the dough in her hand and throwing it into the small house river next to the corridor, where groups of colorful fish chased the dough cake floating on the water.

Yang Yuanqing glanced back at Niuniu and smiled gratefully at the old housekeeper: "Thank you for today." ”

The old housekeeper Ding Lu is a native of Beijing, sixty-eight years old this year, his two sons have died, and his grandson doesn't care about them, he only lives with his wife, as early as when this mansion was Yu Zeqing's other house, he was the housekeeper of this mansion, he has been doing it for forty years in this mansion, and he is very familiar with the grass and trees here.

Now there is no one in the mansion, only him and his wife and a distant nephew, and his nephew is the only young subordinate in the mansion, in charge of the stable, and he helped him do it today.

Ding Lu is old and walks slowly, he nodded and smiled: "I have also experienced it when I was a housekeeper before, and I have a little experience, this is just a small matter, and the son doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Yang Yuanqing's mansion covers an area of ten acres, although it is not big, it is a sparrow although small, all five organs are complete, one is divided into five courtyards, the front yard is the kitchen, the utility room and the lower room, the atrium is the main hall and two guest rooms, the west courtyard is the living room of the usual master, the master's outer study is also here, and the atrium has a corridor to communicate, and the east courtyard is the guest room, there are more than a dozen large and small rooms, and the atrium is not connected, you must enter from the front yard, the back house is the master room and a back garden.

In addition, like all Sui and Tang buildings, there is a stable, which is generally the size of the main house, and is taken care of by the nephew of the old housekeeper, who is also an honest man, never talks much, but does his best to do things.

Although Yang Yuanqing has moved here for nearly ten days, he has not been to many places in the house, and if there is nothing to do today, the old housekeeper will take him to slowly understand the situation in the house (the latest chapter of Wudong Qiankun 81zw).

"Childe, the house is too deserted, you should buy some slaves and maids to come back, and the cook, Childe and the girl live comfortably, you don't have to do everything, and you don't have to go out to eat every day."

"I know, but I'm going to leave the capital in a few days, it may take a year or two to come back, and I don't need slaves and maids for the time being, let's discuss it before we leave, arrange the mansion, and entrust the old housekeeper to take care of it in the future."

The old housekeeper nodded, "Don't worry, Childe, I will take care of the house." ”

They walked to a house in the west courtyard, surrounded by lush laurel trees, and next to a three-zhang rockery.

Yang Yuanqing peeked into the house through the window, and saw that the room was empty, with only a large cabinet, so he asked with a smile, "Where is this?" ”

"This is the original owner's outer study, eight years ago, the copyist copied all the books, and found that there was a secret room here."

"What's inside?" Niuniu probe stepped forward and asked with interest.

"They are all armor and weapons, there are hundreds of them, and the old master said that those are all precious things, which he has collected for decades, but it has become one of the charges of rebellion."

At this time, Steward Ding remembered something, and said with a smile: "I remember that there seems to be a little thing left inside, and it was said that it was going to be moved, but no one came, and there was a court seal on it, I didn't dare to touch it, if the son is interested, you can go and have a look." ”

Yang Yuanqing is a little interested in his heart, what will be the weapon that Yu Qing treasures?

[Around eleven o'clock, there is a change].
