Chapter 22
After Sheng Linyun came to the township pilot, he saw an old man sitting at the door, a little nervous, and he didn't know if Mo Wei had done something wrong.
"Hello, sir! Students come to sign up," Sheng Linyun said respectfully.
"Aang? Look at you, you're not even fifteen years old! No, the military commander will not arrest you to enlist in the army" The old man waved his hand and motioned for Sheng Linyun to go away.
"No, I'm really here for the exam, you see! I'm ready," Sheng Linyun lifted the four treasures and brocade box in his hand.
"There is a special paper and pen for the exam, and I will come back in three days, and today this one has begun" The old man is not difficult to be, if you want to take the exam, you can take the exam.
"Well, old man, if someone comes to me later, can you not say that you have seen me?" Sheng Linyun paused and said.
"Humph! Who are you and I? Someone came and arrested me. The old man was inexplicably angry.
"Old man, has Xiaosheng been offended?" Sheng Linyun panicked, could it be that something went wrong, and he didn't say the wrong thing.
"All the men and women in this city know me and know me, are you afraid that you are not from this area?" The old man stood up, "A stranger secretly came to the exam, and asked me to hide it from others, say, what bad things have you done?" β
As soon as Sheng Linyun heard the words of this old man, he knew that the other party had a great background, and he was about to open his mouth to explain when he heard a scolding from afar, "Little, you dare to play with your money?" β
Turning his head, the shopkeeper of Qian Hongxiang's pawnshop came over with a group of people.
"Grandpa, I guessed that you were here, who did a good deed to help me catch it? Well?... The shopkeeper ran to him, and his smug face suddenly suppressed a smile, "It turned out to be Lord Yin?" β
"Qian Hongxiang, I said strange, I just heard the crow call, you came to the door, you didn't stay in your pawnshop to come to me for what?" The old man looked at Qian Hongxiang, the head of Qian Hongxiang's pawnshop, with a disgusted expression.
"I said, Lord Yin, is this Luzhou City opened by your family? If I catch a thief, you have to take care of it? How? Do you collect taxes on thieves? Qian Hongxiang fiddled with the protective goggles on his chest and blew it.
"Hehe, the first time I saw you treat people as thieves, come here, release this scholar and let him go in for the exam" This Lord Yin seemed to deliberately provoke the money shopkeeper in front of him to put Sheng Linyun in.
"You!! Yin Birdman, don't force me" The money shopkeeper bared his teeth, his face was flushed, and the thugs on the side hurriedly patted him on the back.
"Master! Dissipate your anger, Lord Dong Yu's words, you can rest assured" The assistant on the side also patted Qian Hongxiang.
"Of course I know" Qian Hongxiang let go of the hands of others and walked up two steps, "Yin Birdman, you remember it for me." β
Master Yin smiled, "Hmph, don't worry, nothing else, I didn't miss anything I wrote down." β
Sheng Linyun on the side saw it in his eyes and roughly understood something, the discord between officials and businessmen is nothing more than that, officials don't want to get rich, and it is difficult to do business, it seems that Qian Hongxiang is very hard in the background, but Lord Yin also seems to have a great background.
"The surname Yin, you can't move me, hum, toss a few more days and go into the ground, let's go." Qian Hongxiang left with someone, and when he met Lord Yin, he seemed to put aside Sheng Linyun's matter, and it seemed that the two of them had a very deep knot.
"Uh... Mr. Yin, can I go in? Sheng Linyun asked softly.
"There is still half the time, if you think you can finish writing the article, you can go in, don't leave after the exam, I ask you something, do you understand?" Lord Yin returned to his seat, and Sheng Linyun suddenly picked up the cheap feeling was so refreshing, "I don't have to wait for three days."
Mo Wei placed two horses in the post station outside the city, whistling and staggering into the city, just as Qian Hongxiang led a group of people back to the pawnshop, one accidentally, Qian Hongxiang fell again, and the guys on the side hurriedly helped. Mo Bu looked at Qian Hongxiang Coke and laughed, whistled and continued to walk, preparing to return to the gate of the Gongyuan and wait for Sheng Linyun to come out.
"Come on, arrest that person for me, Lao Tzu is an evil man today? Can anyone laugh at it? Qian Hongxiang snorted viciously.
"Hey, the front, stop" A few thugs surrounded Mo Wei, and a housekeeper pointed at Mo Wei.
"What? What's the matter with Daddy? "It's not the same as Sheng Linyun, what is the static braking, get out!
"Hey, there are so many people who don't want to die today, beat him up for me, and go to the river" The housekeeper helped Qian Hongxiang into the pawnshop and asked his subordinates to do it.
But the two of them just stepped into the pawnshop with their front feet, and they didn't need to step on their back feet, and they were directly pressed into the pawnshop by the thugs thrown by Mo Wei.
Qian Hongxiang was pressed to the ground, his face was flushed, and his muscles were bursting out, this is no longer a matter of being out of breath, and he has suffered more qi in this hour than he has suffered in this life.
"Butlerγγγ! Go and tie him up for me, throw him in the river, and torture me slowly" Qian Hongxiang was already so angry that he couldn't speak.
The housekeeper nodded again and again, "Come on, come on, call everyone over to me, who can tie him up, this year's salary, the master will give three times." Maid, help the master in to rest. β
"No need, Humpty Dumpty, let's do it, who can snatch your master back from under my father's buttocks, and you will give you three times the salary" As soon as the words fell, Qian Hongxiang was dragged out of the pawnshop by Mo Wei, came to a small bridge and put him under his buttocks, and sat on it himself, attracting countless onlookers.
"Hurry up, go and tell the county master, saying that Master Qian has been bullied, and call all the officers and soldiers" The housekeeper remembered to jump on the spot, pointing and screaming.
"It's bad, there are too many people, I can't finish it for a while, in case my brother finishes the exam, I'm not in a hurry, I'll be in a hurry if I'm not there, hide first" Mo Wei immediately stood up and ran towards the alley, preparing to avoid the crowd and hide first.
The township test, which was originally tried once every three days, was shortened to one day, and when it was late, the candidates came out of the tribute courtyard one after another, and Lord Yin had been sitting at the door, and at this time, Sheng Linyun walked out.
"Done?" Master Yin asked.
"I'm done, my lord." Sheng Linyun replied respectfully.
"You don't have to call me my lord, my name is Yin Zhifeng, no official and no position, it's just that the emperor still remembers the old man and is doing this errand of writing, and I ask you, what is your name." Yin Zhifeng beckoned Sheng Linyun to come closer.
"Mo Linyun, grass Mo Chu Linyun" Sheng Linyun didn't say much, and he answered whatever the other party asked.
"Look, is that the name?" Yin Zhifeng pointed to the end of the roster.
"Mo Lingyun, damn, this is not different, I can't even write my own name" Sheng Linyun was a little embarrassed.
"I said how could there be crows crowing for most of the day, and I started to think that the pawnshop guy turned out to be a ghost you did, tricked me into leaving, and added it to this roster yourself?" Yin Zhifeng looked at Sheng Linyun with eyebrows.
"Mr. Yin, Xiaosheng's hometown is far away, for convenience, Bo Yi wants to go to Chang'an for the exam with a book, and he has no malicious intentions." Sheng Linyun explained.
"You will cheat at a young age, the court doesn't need you like this, let's go." Yin Zhifeng waved his hand to let him leave, "I won't pursue the tampering with the roster." β
"Sir has no official position, is it voluntary or... Sheng Linyun saw that the other party was going to drive him away, so the plan was ruined, and he asked politely.
"What do you mean" Yin Zhifeng's voice suddenly became indifferent.
"What is fraud, sir? Poor and poor? Or is it a male and a traitor? Students, I just ask for a piece of paper to report to the country, who is the trouble, what is the matter? Sheng Linyun was pressing, and Yin Zhifeng frowned.
"Serving the country? At a young age, you dare to transgress the rules, let you enter the country, and ruin the dynasty. Yin Zhifeng slapped the table hard.
"What about the gentleman? Follow the rules within your own radius, isn't it being pointed at and scolded by the people who deceive you in your mouth? Presumably, the backer behind the arrogant money shopkeeper is standing in front of you, and you can only look sideways, this is the rule? magnified and said, sir, what are the rules for letting me in for the sake of vindictiveness? Sheng Linyun's eyes were like torches, and three words made Yin Zhifeng speechless.
"If you don't mention it today, presumably Mr. has no official position because he is too disciplined and doesn't recruit people, right? It's not even an official, but it stops a young talent like me who is enthusiastic and only makes a small mistake, isn't it too embarrassing" Sheng Linyun suddenly felt that he was cheeky enough, there was no way, he had to convince the old man in front of him, otherwise he would not know what year and month he would go to Chang'an to see the emperor, and he had to stand in the court earlier.
"Good! Speak tomorrow with your answer sheet" Yin Zhifeng suddenly felt that the little boy in front of him was very extraordinary, how kind of sharp soul was hidden under this immature appearance?
"Mr. Xie, if I come back tomorrow, I will definitely be able to be granted a certificate by Mr." Sheng Linyun smiled slightly, and left in a random direction, because he didn't know where to go, Mo Wei was not there.
Yin Zhifeng looked at the little figure in the distance and was silent for a long time, and an old man who was nearly a hundred years old actually asked the little kid to preach, and turned around and entered the Tribute Courtyard.
