Chapter 42: Entering the House

Since the founding of the country, the Qin State has had imperial examinations every five years.

In the past five years, the scholars were generally admitted to Xiucai in their own county.

Then the lord of the city and county will elect the qualifications.

Only after becoming a person can you enter Beijing for the palace examination.

At the beginning, Du Yi also came up step by step like this, and he still remembers the moment when he became a person in Suzhou City, and he also remembers the scenery of winning the champion in the Imperial City.

It's a pity that all this drifted away with the wind as Du Yi fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Doctor Du didn't continue to look at the list, turned around and entered a teahouse, and muttered in a low voice.

"Now in addition to sharpening your own axe, you also have to form a gang, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, I will start with this waterfront city. ”

At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Linshui City, several young scholars sat in the front hall. The atmosphere is harmonious, and they show each other their own literary and ink conversations.

An old, bald old man walked in from the door of the antechamber, supported by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

The three scholars stood up at the same time and bent over with their fists clenched.

"Tian City Lord, hello, hello. ”

"Uncle Tian, your old man is healthy. ”

"Master Tian, this is what my old man ordered, please smile. ”

Everyone is called differently.

The bald old man sat on the purple wood sandalwood Taishi chair in the center of the front hall with a smile on his face.

"Okay, good, nephew Sun Xian, nephew Lu Xian, Wang Juren, all sit down. Yo, Lu Xian's nephew, your old man Lu is very generous, this pot of hundred-year-old rice wine is a treasure of the Lu family. ”

The scholar surnamed Lu laughed and said, "It's just a pot of rice wine, Tian Ye likes it." ”

Tian Cheng nodded, let the young girl go down, picked up the pot of rice wine, and walked to the house.

"Uncle Tian, my family has a new batch of fragrant rice, and it will be delivered to your house tomorrow to ensure your satisfaction. Sun Xian's nephew hugged his fists, very respectful.

Tian Cheng Lord's smile became more and more satisfied, touched his white beard, and nodded.

At this time, Wang Juren played with the jasper ring on his finger, and said with a smile: "Lord Tiancheng, this life is really nourishing, every time my sect goes down the mountain to buy the fragrant rice of the Sun family, it is priceless. ”

"Is there such a thing? Then when I go back, I will order my subordinates to keep Brother Wang's share of fragrant rice. Sun Xian's nephew patted his chest and said.

Tian City Lord laughed and said, "Wang Juren, I thought you were all people from outside the world who ate elixir and drank dew, but I didn't expect that you would also love fragrant rice." ”

Wang Juren smiled and didn't take the words of the Tian City Lord, so he diverted the topic and said.

"Tian City Lord, how is that person named Xu Shan?"

"Wang Juren, please rest assured, everything is according to Wang Juren's will, and now he is estimated to be dead. ”

"Well, yes, I just want him to experience what it's like to fall from heaven to hell. ”

Wang Juren grinned.

"If you dare to provoke our big brother Wang, even if he doesn't have long eyes, it's too cheap to kill him like this. Lu Xian's nephew said on the side.

Wang Juren raised his eyebrows and said, "That guy's little lady is still good-looking, Tian City Lord, you can arrange it." ”

Tian City Lord smiled faintly, stood up, and said, "It's ready, then the Xu family is locked up in the room by me, just waiting for your king to be favored." ”

"Hahaha, the lord of Tiancheng deserves the title of a happy old man, Xiaosheng admires it. Wang Juren followed behind the Tian City Lord and entered the backyard.

And Sun Lu and the others naturally didn't bother, and left the City Lord's Mansion with interest.

.....

Doctor Du stayed in the teahouse for half a moment, and now he is penniless, relying on magic sound skills to confuse Xiao'er, otherwise he will be kicked out of the teahouse.

With the intention of making some money, Doctor Du went out and took a mask, turned into an alley, and put on a mask.

The mask is black and white, with a flower twig painted on it.

As soon as I put on my mask, I turned around and saw two sneaky men, carrying a sack, into the alley.

The two men also saw Doctor Du, one put the sack, and the other shouted loudly, "Murder!"

Doctor Du's eyes were cold, and he stepped forward and tapped his fingers twice, and the two men fell to the ground with purple lips, out of breath.

Du Yi rolled up the sack and disappeared into the alley.

Coming to an unmanned rice warehouse, Doctor Du untied the sack.

There was a dead man's head exposed, with a delicate appearance and a thin body, but his left eye was scratched with a few knife marks, and it was wasted.

"It's hard to die, and there's a breath. ”

Doctor Du took out the small bottle of Rejuvenation Powder and poured it into the mouth of the person in the sack.

Then he took a lot of herbs from the ring, crushed them into juice, mixed them together, and poured them into the man's mouth.

In less than three or four seconds, the man suddenly woke up, grabbed Du Yi's empty left sleeve, and said, "I... Wife... Save my wife, help. ”

"What's your name and where is it?" asked Doctor Du.

"She's in the City Lord's Mansion, and her name is Bai... The man didn't finish speaking, and he fainted again.

Doctor Du touched his head, in the City Lord's Mansion, let's be a good person for a while today.

Doctor Du, who was involved in this matter, didn't feel troubled, he wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to get a handful of money, and it was also easy to save a woman.

The city lord's mansion is easy to find, and after Doctor Du leaves the unmanned rice warehouse, he can overlook the golden courtyard.

Wearing a peach blossom mask, Dr. Du easily climbed over the wall, the courtyard is a rockery and flowing water bridge, and after walking through a stone staircase, you can see seven or eight small buildings with black tiles and white walls sitting around.

"Good guy, the city lord of this waterfront city is a golden house hidden Jiao, this backyard is simply a big brothel. Doctor Du shook his head, and he saw that there were several beautiful women living in each small building.

That's probably more than fifty.

Doctor Du pouted, his face full of envy.

After he fused part of the old man's soul, his personality also changed a lot, and when he used to talk about women, he had to put on the appearance of a gentleman, knowing the number of etiquette, abstaining from lust, and so on.

And now Dr. Du's personality is a bit unscrupulous.

Climbing over the rockery and jumping on top of the roof tiles of the small building, a scolding male voice attracted Dr. Du.

"Damn, it's really unlucky, this girl is so dead that she wants to hit the wall, and she actually hit me with blood, and drag me out to feed the dogs. ”

Du Yixin said, "Could it be the city lord, go over and take a look." ”

He jumped on the roof tiles without making a sound, and then landed on the small building from which the sound came, lifted a few tiles, and looked down.

A young man sat angrily in a chair with a teapot in his hand.

Another old man laughed on the sidelines.

"Wang Juren, just an ordinary woman, there are many women in my spring-seeking small building, you can choose at will. ”

"Tian City Lord, you said this, Xiaoyu, I have already taken a look at it. ”

When the Tian City Lord heard Xiao Yu's name, he showed a look of pain.

But before he could respond, Doctor Du broke through the roof and landed between the two.

"City Lord Tian, presumably you are the City Lord of Linshui City?"

Tian City Lord was frightened, he was already old, and now he was a little out of breath.

"Who are you?"

It was Wang Juren behind Du Yi who asked calmly.

Doctor Du glanced back at him, and there were a lot of treasures on him.

But the best thing is that ring, the nature is the same as the jade pendant given to him by Song Tiande and Brother Song, and the quality is a little lower than that jade pendant.

"Who are you?" Du asked rhetorically.

That Wang Juren actually laughed out loud, and said to the City Lord Tian, "City Lord Tian, I didn't expect that there were thieves here who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the City Lord's Mansion was really poor. ”

Wang Juren smiled and pulled his cuffs up a little, revealing a white bracelet.

A white sword aura shot out from the bracelet and slashed towards Du Yi's neck.

There was not even the so-called sonorous sound, and the white sword qi did not pierce Doctor Du's talisman qi shield, and it dissipated into nothingness.

Du Yixin said, "Barely reach the third layer of the eye, but it is not enough." ”

At this time, Wang Juren's face changed, and he stood up and took out a jasper sword from his waist.

Pull out the scabbard and slash at Du Yi.

"Look if you die now!"

Doctor Du looked at Wang Juren indifferently, and let the jasper sword slash at his flesh.

The sword snapped straight away, losing its former brilliance.

"Stupid. Doctor Du lightly spit out two words.

Wang Juren was unsteady on his heels and sat down on the chair behind him.

"How.... What's going on?" Wang Juren looked at his hands and feet in horror.

His hands and feet couldn't move, he coughed up a large piece of black blood from his mouth, and in less than two or three seconds, he died of exhaustion, and there was still dripping black blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

The Tian City Lord was so frightened that his legs swayed, and a stream of yellow fishy liquid flowed down his trouser legs to the ground.

Doctor Du frowned, pinched his nose, and said.

"You are the lord of Waterfront City?"

“... Be.. Yes yes... I am..... Excuse me, my lord.... Is there anything wrong with you?"

Tian City Lord asked cautiously.

"Look at you like this, you have been in the position of the city lord for many years, and you must have made a lot of oil and water over the years?"

Tian Cheng was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to say it.

"I came this time only for money, not for my life, you give me 1.8 million taels of gold to buy your old life. ”

After hearing Doctor Du's words, Tian Cheng Lord reluctantly stood firm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said.

"I have the money, you can ask for as much as you want. ”

Doctor Du sneered, pointed at the Tian City Lord, and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to transport the money to this room, if the time is exceeded or I'm not satisfied, you will die of poison." ”

"Poison... Poison...?I'm poisoned?" Tian Cheng Lord was extremely afraid of death, and touched his body, but there was nothing unusual.

Du Yi looked at the dead Wang Juren and said, "There are still nine minutes, and after this time, you will become like him." ”

Tian City Lord was stunned for a moment, lifted his trouser leg and ran outside, not at all like an old man in his seventies and eighties.

Doctor Du turned around and came to the side room in the house, there was a dazzling blood flower on the wall facing him, and a female corpse was lying underneath.

The female corpse was turned over, her head was shattered, her face was covered with blood, and there was no way to save her.

Doctor Du sighed and took out three unburned pieces of incense from the ring.

snapped his fingers, and a small purple flame burst out on his index finger.

After lighting the three sticks of incense, insert them in front of the head of the female corpse.

"It's been three hundred years, and I don't know if this soul incense is good or not. ”

The cigarette smoke swirled, slowly forming a woman's shape in the air, and her face was no different from the female corpse on the ground.

"But the white girl?" asked Doctor Du.

The woman's ghost bowed slightly, and said, "Meet the Taoist chief, my surname is Bai Mingyu, I don't know if the chief summoned me, what is the so-called matter?"

"I saved your husband by chance, and your husband told me your surname and position, and begged me to come and save you. ”

"Xu Shan, my husband, is he okay?" the woman's ghost looked excited.

"My life is no longer in danger. ”

"Thank you for saving my husband's life, I am grateful, but I am separated from him by yin and yang, I hope that the Taoist can stop my husband from committing suicide, and thank the Taoist again for his kindness. ”

The woman bowed and bowed.

"Don't you want to see him again?" Doctor Du asked.

The woman's ghost trembled and asked in disbelief, "Is that okay?"
