In the afternoon, Hu Ke woke up from a good sleep and went out.

He couldn't be idle, and he walked through several inns and casinos along the way, and learned about the market and planned to do the business of pressing, but found that there was no room for him to exert himself.

Fucheng is not as small as Pingyang, and there are already people arranging the scene. In the last county examination, the top ten students in each county were all lined up, and more than a dozen cases were placed in the hall for everyone to bet.

Hu Ke took a look, Song Tian's ranking is not good, and the current pressure situation is the third from the bottom in the first column of the case.

Although everyone is the head of the case, the third to last is too embarrassing for the Cangshan Academy.

Hu Ke didn't say a word, squeezed in and got out of two taels.

The bookkeeper gave him an unexpected look and asked him to sign the pledge.

There are few people at the back of the rankings who bet, and even if they do, they will spread the risk with a few hundred dollars, and there is a bet of two taels of silver, and they all looked at Hu Ke with a tentative and suspicious look.

Among them, a fellow candidate kindly reminded: "This brother, the first person in the Pingyang case is not very old, and it is the first time to refer to it, this kind of person has an element of luck in it, the exam results are unstable, and you are so generous and careful that you have no money." ”

"That is, compared to the head of the Pingyang case, the first few in the queue are much more secure, they are older and have rich experience, and they come from several famous schools, and the chances of getting ahead in the government examination are much greater."

"yes, I just don't know who of those guys can win, and I can't do it."

"It's hard to say, according to me, the two heads of the case in Suming County and Baoyang County have a better chance, and I heard that the two of them listened to half a year of classes in the academy before the exam......"

One person spoke, and the others began to discuss.

Hu Ke glanced at those people and said, "I don't know what level others are, but I can be sure that the head of the Pingyang case will not be ranked too badly." ”

This person is quite confident, I think he is from Pingyang.

When several people saw him leave, they shook their heads and smiled: "I think this person is a classmate or relative of the Song student." Self-confidence is also a good thing, but there are people outside the world, and overconfidence will inevitably accept blows. ”

"Yes, I don't pressure this person anyway. It's not a problem to be able to take the first child and show talent, but it's so easy to be at the top of the list. ”

On the other side, Hu Ke left the casino and went back to the inn.

The business was no longer done, so he was a little depressed, so he didn't go back directly but went to the teahouse diagonally opposite to drink tea.

As soon as he entered the door, a junior came to introduce him, there was a class upstairs, two hundred yuan a person, not only to provide a seat, but also tea.

Hu Ke glanced at him, looked at the price tag, counted twenty copper plates to the little two, and asked him to carry a pot of tea to the window.

It only costs twenty wen to drink tea alone, but it costs two hundred to listen to the class upstairs, and the business done by the one above is also very good, and I feel that he can make more money than he can make money by doing Zhuang pressing, but his heart is not black enough to do these things of abduction.

Hu Ke came over to drink tea and was bored to relieve his boredom, but he didn't sit for long before he saw a familiar person coming down from the second floor.

The man talked and laughed with Xiao Er, and went to the counter to settle the money with the shopkeeper.

Looks like he did the class upstairs!

Hu Ke suddenly wanted to laugh, he knew exactly what level Song Hong was, and it was reasonable to lie to others, but he only felt like a fool before for this kind of person.

Song Hong calculated an account with the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and the balance was only a dozen taels of silver, and he was depressed.

Sure enough, these guys who came to Fucheng are not so easy to fool around, there are many people here, but only one-third of the county comes.

He put the silver in the box where the money was kept, hugged it, and was about to go upstairs, when he turned around to find Hu Ke walking towards him.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Hu Ke has risen a lot, except for a little childishness and ruffian on his face, he is already a man who stands up to the sky.

Song Hong didn't expect to see him here, so he was stunned and stopped.

"Hey, Brother Song, I haven't seen you do this kind of thing for a few years, are you still reading books?"

Obviously, no, otherwise this kind of business would not be scolded to death, and I saw him as a laborer in Binh Duong last time.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he poked people's hearts, Song Hong waved away the hand he put on his shoulder and said, "You recognize the wrong person." ”

After he finished speaking, he fled quickly, and after a short time he went upstairs.

Hu Ke snorted, only to feel that this person was inexplicable, seeing that it was not good to reminisce about the past, what did he run.

Upstairs, Song Hong was panting in the compartment with the money box, Tian Mao was reading a book at the table, and when he saw him so unexpectedly, he asked, "What are you doing?" Met an acquaintance? ”

Isn't it just that I met an acquaintance!

Song Hong gritted her teeth, poured out all the broken silver and copper plates in the box, and then divided her share and said, "Don't go to me for the next few days, wait until the house test is over." ”

After Song Hong finished speaking, he went downstairs directly with the silver, he had already found it for Hu Ke, indicating that the inn where the Cangshan Academy and his party stayed was nearby, and he was not afraid of Song Tian, but he was afraid of Song Ercai.

It stands to reason that Song Er will come over for such an important children's test, and it will be a trouble to find it then.

Song Hong went downstairs, didn't go to see if Hu Ke was still there, and hurriedly escaped from behind.

Diagonally opposite the inn, Hu Ke went up to the second floor to find Song Tian and told him about meeting Song Hong in the teahouse.

The last time I saw Song Hong drinking cakes in Pingyang, he was drugged, and when I see him again this time, he will definitely tell the matter and save that person from making any trouble.

Song Ercai happened to be there, and when he heard that Song Hong was in the teahouse diagonally opposite, he immediately wanted to bring someone over to check.

"Daddy." Song Tian frowned, in fact, he didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.

Song Ercai sighed secretly and said: "This matter can't just look at the surface, since he has the intention to harm you, he can't let it go like this, and it is impossible to prevent it." Finding someone to make things clear is easier to deal with. ”

I haven't seen Song Ercai for a few years, and I also want to see what he is doing outside, and what kind of person has become.

It's just that when he took the Tang brothers to the teahouse, the class upstairs had just ended, and a group of people poured down from above, and there was still Song Hong's figure.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you let me go in and inquire."

Tang Shan said, and Song Ercai nodded, "If you find him, don't act rashly, come back and tell me." ”

"Yes."

The next day, because the government exam was imminent, the group of Cangshan School did not go out again, so Master Zhang helped a class and talked about the examiner's preferences and rules.

He also made a special trip to tell Song Tian to relax his mind and not be stage frightened, because he is the head of the county examination, and the seat number in the row this time must be high.

At night, Song Tian picked up the book after eating and read it.

Song Ercai, who was also reading a book on the side, saw it and said: "I'll let people fetch water, you can rest early after washing, and you can take the exam only when you have enough energy." ”

Song Er went out as he spoke, he went downstairs and called Xiao Er, and then found Tang Hai and asked Tang Shan if he had come back.

Tang Shan went to inquire about Song Hong's whereabouts, and after going out early in the morning, he didn't see him yet.
