Han Jian and Erzhu walked forward with the registered team, because there were too many people, the team's marching speed was very slow, and finally when it was close to dusk, they arrived in front of the team and supported the assessor.

The people in charge of the preliminary examination and assessment are some officials of the Nanwang Mansion, all of whom look very strict, and there seem to be a few words written on their faces, "Do you have any silver"?

Han Jian and Erzhu went to the front, and the two examiners of their team glanced at Han Jian and Erzhu and said, "Do you know how to read?" ”

"If you go back to the old man, you can't read." Erzhu replied honestly.

"If you don't know how to read, you're still here to make a fuss, go away!" The official shouted.

Han Jian pulled Erzhu and said with a smile: "This official heard it wrong, he said, how can you not read and write?" ”

"Literacy?" The official glanced at Han Jian, after all, Han Jian looked like a scholar, and he looked like a scholar, while Erzhu looked like a scholar and three thick, so he didn't look like a scholar.

"Then make a poem." The official said directly.

"Poetry?" This time Erzhu was dumbfounded, how could he ever compose poetry?

Han Jian took a step forward and said, "Can the official see this first?" The bright moonlight in front of the window, suspected to be frost on the ground, raised his head to look at the bright moon, and bowed his head to think of his hometown. ”

"What bullshit verse? What kind of bright moonlight, homesick and embarrassed, are also embarrassed to be recruited as the county horse of the Southern Palace? You kid is crazy, right? The official said with a look of disdain.

Han Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, this is clearly asking for money, as for which sage's masterpiece, what do these officials know? Aren't they all in the open?

Han Jian was very "sensible", and hurriedly took out two coins of silver from his arms. Handed it over, the official weighed it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It seems that your level of poetry writing is not bad, I don't know if you are proficient in fist and foot martial arts?" ”

Han Jianxin said that this Nanwang Mansion recruits sons-in-law, and he also needs to find "talents" who are both civil and military, but this is also his appetite.

"In the lower hands...... So so. Of course, Han Jian still had to be modest, so as not to make these officials feel unhappy and let him go.

"That's not ...... A little bit more expressive? The officer's hand was stretched out again.

Han Jian can be sure of what the primary election is. It's basically whoever is willing to spend the money and who passes.

However, Han Jian naturally would not be stingy with this bit of silver. He took out two more coins of silver, and the official nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tong guò!" ”

Before Erzhu could react, Han Jian was pulling him forward. The two took a red sticker. Go directly to the inside of the Dongcheng Yamen. Inside. There were already a lot of candidates waiting in line for the primary election, and Han Jian motioned to Erzhu not to say anything and stood in the crowd. Pending further arrangements.

"Brother Han, what do I think...... Panic? Erzhu was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't help but say to Han Jian.

"Naturally, when we are here to eat and drink, if you have no momentum, others will treat you as empty, and it will definitely not be as we wish." Han Jian straightened his waist and said.

"That's right." Erzhu also learned from Han Jian to straighten his chest and abdomen.

Seeing that it was dusk, the first day of the primary election was over, and the officials came in one after another, closed the door of the Dongcheng Yamen, and began to check the stickers on the hands of the primaries one by one. After the inspection, they began to settle into their accommodation.

“…… This is in the official yamen, if anyone is not honest and walks around, let alone the board waiting! The official "reminded" in a loud voice.

The crowd was sparse, and Han Jian and Erzhu followed the crowd to the place where they lived, only to know that it was just a prepared shop. The people who should be selected this time are all people with a bit of family background, and they can't help but complain when they see the residence in front of them.

"It's a nice place." Erzhu said excitedly when he arrived.

Han Jian knew what Erzhu was excited about, and it was obviously much better to live in this kind of shop than to live in a broken temple.

Those who have passed the primary election and have a bit of family background have gone to bribe officials and errands, hoping to change to a better place to live, while those with slightly thinner family assets have begun to pack up their places and prepare for rest. This year, at night, it is time to rest in response to the sunset, after all, candles and tung oil lamps are not just people can light up, can not be lit or not.

Han Jian didn't have any requirements for where he lived. When everyone settled down, the official sent food, which was just rice and a bowl of vegetables, Han Jian and Erzhu had eaten it, and went directly to sleep, Han Jian was also very tired these days, and wanted to rest early to recuperate.

In the middle of the night, Erzhu was still asleep, but Han Jian woke up first. At this time, the people who lived in the shop were only four or fifty percent of the primaries, and the people who spoke the flag either got through the relationship between the officials and changed to a good place to sleep, or they went home and came back the next day. Han Jian felt the darkness out of the room, the light outside was dim, but he could vaguely identify the road, Han Jian intended to visit the Southern Palace, so it was just an expedient measure, not his main purpose.

The officials are not very concerned about these people who have responded to the primary election, they only regard this as a good opportunity to make oil and water, and they naturally do not believe that the Chenglong fast son-in-law of Nanwangfu will come from among these people in the future. At night, the officials who were supposed to keep vigil all gathered together to drink soju and gamble for fun, and there was a bit of quiet weirdness in the entire Dongcheng Yamen.

Han Jian had already inquired about the location of the Nanwang Mansion in Yuzhou City earlier, and immediately found a piece of cloth to cover his face, and then went to the Nanwang Mansion at night to find Yang Li'er. As soon as you arrived outside the Yamen of Dongcheng, before you could set off, you saw a group of officers and soldiers coming from the direction of Dongcheng with you, and the group was in a hurry, as if they had just returned from some important task.

There were a large number of officers and soldiers, and Han Jian naturally didn't want to show his head, so he hid in the shadows to observe the situation.

After a while, the group of officers and soldiers had already approached, and several of them had dismounted. Han Jian heard a person complaining, "I'm finally back." ”

When Han Jian heard this voice, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, it was none other than Huang Lie, the eldest son of Huang Lie and Huang who called him a brother and brother, and had many contacts along the way.

On the night Yang Li'er left, Han Jian rode a horse to chase him out, in fact, Han Jian and Yang Li'er didn't go fast this way, mainly because of the pursuit of mysterious people and Yang Li'er's injury problems, which made them walk very slowly in the next section. Han Jian expected that after Yang Li'er went on the road alone, the empress also sent Huang Lie and the escort soldiers and horses of the Nanwang Mansion back, and Huang Lie returned to Yuzhou, and it was just a matter of time before and after Han Jian came to Yuzhou.

"General Huang, aren't you going back to the General's Mansion?" A guard asked Huang Liedao.

"If you don't go back, let's stay at the Dongcheng Yamen for one night. I'm very familiar with the young eunuch of the Dongcheng Yamen, so you go back to the barracks first. Huang Lie commanded the guards.

Han Jianxin said that the reason why Huang Lie did not dare to go back to the general's mansion to see his grandfather and father was because he was also afraid of being held accountable afterwards. At the beginning, Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, sent Huang Lie to Maocheng to bring Han Jian back to Yuzhou, but Huang Lie did not complete the task, and went north to Luoyang City with Yang Li'er.

Huang Lie's mind is not to help Han Jian, but to find "Miss Lin", after knowing that the identity of "Miss Lin" is not simple, Huang Lie is also a little disheartened, this time Yang Li'er did not say goodbye, he was afraid of being responsible, and he did not dare to enter when he returned to Yuzhou to cross the house.

After Huang Lie finished speaking, the guards of the brigade got on their horses and went into the distance, while Huang Lie came to the gate of the Dongcheng Yamen.

Huang Lie looked at the entrance of the yamen, but there were two lanterns hanging on it, and he couldn't even see a figure, he looked a little depressed, and he was about to enter the door, but he was pulled by someone, and he was about to scream but was covered by someone.

"Woo......" Huang Lie thought that he had been kidnapped, and screamed, but he couldn't make a sound because his mouth was covered by someone.

"It's me." Han Jian said, letting go of his hand, and by the way, he also took off the cloth covering his face.

"Brother Han?" Huang Lie was really shocked when he saw Han Jian, and when he rubbed his eyes and saw clearly, he was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"This is not the place to talk, find a secluded place to talk." Han Jian said.

"Understood." After Huang Lie's ass followed Han Jianjian, the two walked through the street outside the Dongcheng Yamen and came to an alley, and then stopped.

Just stopped, and before Huang Lie could ask, Han Jian said first, "Why did you come back?" ”

Huang Lie cried and said with a sad face: "My cousin left that day, and you left without saying anything, and the next day, the emperor was angry, and the princess of the county was also a little angry...... Alas! Anyway, they said that our people from Nanwangfu had also completed their tasks, and it was time to return to Yuzhou, so they let us leave...... Actually, I don't want to come back! ”

What Huang Lie said was a bit upside down, but Han Jian also understood, and it was roughly the same as what he thought. When they arrived at the boundary of the Nanwangfu, there were soldiers and horses from the Nanwangfu to protect the empress, and the princess and the empress were worried that the people in the Nanwangfu would have any misdeeds, so they found a way to beat them back to Yuzhou.

"Brother Han, why are you here?"

Han Jian gave a general explanation of the situation, but did not explain part of the progress of his relationship with Yang Li'er, only saying that he couldn't chase Yang Li'er, and he came all the way to Yuzhou and couldn't go back.

"Brother Han, if you can't go back, or ...... Come with me to see my uncle? Huang Lie asked with a wink.

Han Jian knew that this kid was not well-intentioned, after all, Huang Lie did not complete the task given to him by King Nan, but Han Jian "threw himself into the net" and came to him in person, so he thought about letting Han Jian go to see King Nan, so that his task would be completed in disguise.

"I'm here to recruit a son-in-law for your cousin." Han Jian said.

Huang Lie slapped his head and said, "Brother Han, if you don't say it, I forgot." As soon as I came back, I heard from the people below that it was my uncle who wanted to recruit a son-in-law for my cousin, which was a bit strange, and even if someone mentioned the matter of a son-in-law to my uncle before, my uncle had a very tough attitude, and he almost wanted to kill someone. Brother Han, you ...... It can't be the idea of beating my cousin, right? ”

"What do you think of Huang Gongzi?" Han Jian looked at Huang Lie and said, "Could it be that Huang Gongzi, if you want to get close to the water and get the moon first?" ”

Huang Lie pondered the meaning of Han Jian's words for a moment, and then smiled and said, "My cousin...... It's too domineering, it's not suitable for me, if Brother Han wants to be with my cousin...... I'm Huang someone absolutely supportive! ”

Han Jian patted Huang Lie on the shoulder and said, "With Brother Huang's words, I didn't make friends with you as a friend in vain. (To be continued......)
