The next day, Chen Ziang started the third step of the plan, and he was still a little hesitant about this step, but Jin Xiangyu had already sent people to engage in malicious competition, and he would not hesitate any longer.

First of all, he asked the shopkeeper to apply for a part of the activity funds, and then spent money to hire beggars to help the dirtiest and smelliest people to clear the building, order a pot of tea at each table, and stay all day.

On this day, Qinglou's business can even be described as bleak, and many of Qinglou's regular customers came out with their noses covered as soon as they entered the door, and went to Tongfu Inn to eat.

As for breaking the law? What is the crime of not stealing or robbing, even if Jin Xiangyu called Lao Xing later, it will not help, because everyone spends money to drink tea.

After a few more days, the Qinglou was already closed, and the Tongfu Inn was very busy.

"Xiucai, how much money have we made in the past few days?" Tong Xiangyu walked to the account desk and asked softly.

"The shopkeeper, now the income of two or three days is worth a month before! According to what you said, we have increased the price of food, but the number of customers has not decreased, but more and more, which is really smart! Lu Xiucai patted his ass.

Tong Xiangyu shook his head with a smile and looked in the direction of the kitchen, "This is Ziang's suggestion, originally I was a little worried about whether the sudden price increase would lose customers, but now it seems that I think too much"

"Brother Chen! I can't do it," Lu Xiucai said with sincere admiration.

"By the way, in two months, a new round of imperial examinations will start again, do you still have to take the exam?" Tong Xiangyu asked.

"Of course! No matter what, I want to be promoted, if I can get the top prize in the exam, then I will have the money to marry Fumei," Lu Xiucai said expectantly.

"Ahem" Tong Xiangyu coughed lightly twice, "Although it is a good thing to have ambition, but you must also be down-to-earth, I think if you really want to be lifted, go and ask Ziang more, I think he should be able to help"

"That's right!" Lu Xiucai slapped the table: "Why didn't I think of it?" Brother Chen, he is so smart, there must be a way"

"Xiucai, don't read to be a nerd" Tong Xiangyu shook his head and went to greet the guests again.

A busy day was over, and Chen Ziang was sitting in his room cultivating that night, when he felt someone coming over.

"Who?" When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Lu Xiucai.

"Brother Chen, haven't you slept yet?" Lu Xiucai said with a smile.

"Hmm" Chen Ziang nodded, not knowing what Lu Xiucai was going to do with the smiling man.

Lu Xiucai said and took out a money bag from his arms, opened it and poured out some broken silver, "This is my savings over the years, and I hope Brother Chen can teach me more, I want to be admitted to the lifting of people."

Chen Ziang didn't expect that he didn't go to Lu Xiucai, but he took the initiative to find him, but it's right to think about it, the annual imperial examination is about to start, and if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until the next year.

"Why do you think I can help you get in?" Chen Ziang asked with a light smile.

"Brother Chen is so talented, he will definitely be able to help me with one or two, and please ask Brother Chen to do it!" Lu Xiucai put his right hand on his left hand, and bent down to bow to Chen Ziang.

"That's it, from today on, you teach Xiaobei and make her the first student in White Horse Academy, and I will let you be admitted - champion!" Chen Ziang said firmly.

"Shape...... "Lu Xiucai stammered when he spoke.

It is difficult for Lu Xiucai, who has been a talent in scientific research for many years, to be admitted to the top prize in one fell swoop, and Chen Ziang can't give him any help now, so he can only delay it first to see if there is a good way in the future.

"But...... If you let her dance with guns and sticks, she will probably be able to play all day, but if you want her to study hard and forge ahead, I think it's better to forget it" Lu Xiucai shook his head with a wry smile, he knew Xiaobei's playful nature, and it was a great luck to be able to read the book with peace of mind in the past few years without letting Mr. be fired.

"Which is more difficult, being admitted to the first place in the academy or being admitted to the top rank?" Chen Ziang asked.

"Of course, it's hard to be the champion"

The imperial examination is a few places for scholars in the world, which can be said to be unique, and if you want to become the first in an academy, you only need to compete with dozens of people, and the difficulty gap is very large.

"That's amazing, and I can give you a good plan, you tell Xiaobei that if she gets the first place in the academy, I will teach her martial arts" Chen Ziang knows that children are the most susceptible to temptation, but in the face of temptation, they will generate endless motivation, with Mo Xiaobei's motivation for martial arts, he believes that this promise can help her become the first in the academy faster.

"I'll try, but Brother Chen, the imperial examination will start in less than two months, if you don't teach me quickly, I'm afraid it'll be too late," Lu Xiucai reminded.

"Don't worry, take your savings back, as long as you can make Xiaobei the first, I will definitely fulfill my promise," Chen Ziang said.

"Brother Chen, farewell" Lu Xiucai left, and closed the door by the way.

Chen Ziang hopes to find the hidden task quickly, otherwise when the imperial examination is due, there will not be enough time, so if you want to complete the task, you will have to wait a year? He couldn't wait that long.

.......

As soon as Chen Ziang went downstairs the next day, he saw Lao Bai, Guo Furong and others standing at the door watching the excitement, and he didn't know what he was watching, but he knew it in the next second.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing task one"

Clearing the building, finally can't hold it and go out of business? Chen Ziang's mood was a little complicated after learning the news, and there seemed to be a touch of sadness in his joy, happy that he had finally completed the first task of coming to "Wulin Gaiden", but he was worried that the collapse of Qinglou was completely led by himself, and Jin Xiangyu was a weak woman.

"Ziang, come and see the excitement" Bai Zhantang pulled Chen Ziang to the door, and he could vaguely see that the Qinglou at the end of the street was being moved, many tables and chairs were pulled out of it, and even the plaque was taken off.

"It's pitiful to say, the Qinglou, which was originally full of business, closed down in less than a month, Jin Xiangyu probably wants to cry without tears," Bai Zhantang sighed.

In this situation, even the female man Guo Furong was infected, and said with emotion, "Who said it wasn't, but if it wasn't for Ziang coming to our store to help, it is estimated that we would have gone bankrupt."

I don't know why, Chen Ziang was also a little unhappy when he saw Jin Xiangyu's lonely expression, and he always seemed to feel that he owed her something, which made him feel very unhappy.

Chen Ziang took a deep breath and left, but instead of going in the direction of Qinglou, he turned around and went in another direction.

"Huh? Shouldn't he go to see Jin Xiangyu for the last time? Why did you run in the opposite direction," Guo Furong said in confusion.

"Maybe I don't want to touch the scene," Bai Zhantang analyzed.
