(Thanks: Pear blossoms fall like snow, moshaocong monthly pass, thank you 66226633 book friends for the monthly pass and reward.) Pleading for collection, those with few words can be fattened and killed. )

After August 23, Shanxi prefectures and counties Xiucai arrived in Datong, the capital of Shanxi, to participate in the triennial township test autumn festival, for a time Datong Mansion Middle School was full of children, up to the elderly, down to the immature teenagers, all the blue shirts and square scarves of the Xiucai clothes, the poor themselves carried the blue blue, the rich asked the scholars to carry the blue and luggage, like Song Nan drove to the many.

Li Daniu volunteered to follow Song Nan to participate in the township examination, according to his words: Brother Nan participated in the big exam, and he couldn't help as a brother, so he could take care of him with him, carry his luggage, and help him when he met bad guys.

Song Nan scratched his head, there was already Uncle Zhong driving to follow, and now there were many Li Daniu volunteering, and it was too loud; It's okay if you are completely sure that you will be admitted, but the problem is that you don't have any bottom at all, and it will be a little ridiculous to make these big shows.

But Li Daniu insisted, Song Nan was not easy to refuse, so he should take Li Daniu out to see the world, he was also black-eyed and didn't know anything about Datong Mansion, and it was good for multiple people to follow and discuss.

The three of them found an inn at the southeast street entrance of Datong Mansion and settled down, and the Gongyuan for the examination was on Gongyuan Street not far from here; Almost all the people living in the inn were talents who came to take the exam, and after the others settled down, they hurried to prepare for the exam, but Song Nan directly took Li Daniu to visit Datong Mansion.

The two of them wandered around for a day, played a refreshing game in one of the nine important towns with high walls, and ate a lot of delicious things, and then rushed back with a satisfied stomach, Li Daniu said embarrassedly at this time: "Brother Nan, this time we should hurry up and review, it's not good for us to wander around like this." ”

Song Nan smiled: "You only remembered to say this at this time, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Li Daniu scratched his head and said: "I think, with my brother's ability, can't I get caught in the exam?" ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "Brother, let me tell you the truth, I am not half sure about this township test." ”

Li Daniu was stunned and said, "No, then don't you hurry up to Wen Shu?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "If you can't pass the test left and right, what's the use of cramming Buddha's feet temporarily?" Let it be. ”

Li Daniu said silently for a while: "Aunt Song is going to be sad, but I think it's good, I think if Brother Nan is an official, I won't be able to make friends with you from the beginning to the end, I am a mud leg who can't read big words, how can I climb high?" ”|

Song Nan said with a smile: "Just because of this, you are expecting me to fail the exam?" ”

Li Daniu said with a smile: "It's not that I'm cursing you, but you yourself say that you are not half sure." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Who doesn't want to be named on the gold list, but I can't do it myself, I didn't plan to come, I was just afraid that I would disappoint my mother by saying it." ”

Li Daniu said: "Do your best, people do the sky, and there is no way to pass the exam, and with Brother Nan'er's ability, there may not be no other way out." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "It is this sentence that all roads lead to Rome." ”

"Rome? Mules and horses? ”

“……”

The next day, Song Nan and Da Niu were still wandering on the street, and when they reached noon, they ordered some food at a small restaurant casually, but when they were eating, they heard the low voices of everyone in the whole restaurant talking about each other, which seemed extremely weird.

Song Nan pulled a man sitting next to him and asked what was going on, and the man looked left and right, and said with a little disdain: "Little brother, you don't know anything about this?" The whole city went crazy. ”

Song Nan was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

The man said in a low voice: "The willow fort in the north was attacked by the Tartar bandits, I heard that more than 20 soldiers in the fort were cut off their heads, and the fort was burned to the ground. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Tartar bandits? Didn't the Tartars surrender to me, why are you so arrogant? ”

The man rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask me, who will I ask?" In short, it was the Tartar rangers who disguised themselves as bandits to attack and disturb them, and this incident was not once or twice, but this was the first time that the fortress guarded by the attacking army had been encountered. ”

Song Nan frowned and pondered silently, the man was about to say more, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of several people striding in at the door, and quickly turned his head and shut up, and the people in the room were also silently eating and drinking.

Song Nan raised his eyes and saw that there were three brightly dressed sergeants who came in, with yellow armor round helmets and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, who were three brocade-clothed guards; The three of them looked sharply, swept the room, and their eyes fell on a man who was immersed in eating in the corner of the house, the leading sergeant waved his hand, and the three of them quickly approached the man, a guard reached out and grabbed the man's hair bun and pulled it up, the man who was in pain had to raise his head, and the other guard reached out and took out a roll of paper from his waist and unfolded it, and drew a portrait of a person with ink on the paper, looked up and down a few times, and arched his hand to the leading guard and said: "Qiqi Banner Officer, it is this person." ”

The flag officer snorted and said, "Take it away." The two guards dragged the pale-faced man out of the house like a dead dog.

The flag officer walked to the door and thought about it, turned around, looked around the room and said coldly: "This person made nonsense at the gate of the West City this morning, spreading rumors that the enemy soldiers were attacking the city, we suspect that he is a meticulous work, Jinyi Wei Datong Thousand Households was ordered to arrest this person to the case, you take care of your mouth, if there are people who dare to talk nonsense to move the hearts of the army and the people, Lao Tzu will invite you to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen." ”

Everyone was silent, and they didn't even dare to gasp, until the three brocade guards dragged the man on horseback like a dead dog and galloped away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly pulled the meal and left their seats.

Song Nan was dumbfounded, the prestige of Jinyiwei is indeed not small, looking at the appearance of the people, he is afraid of Jinyiwei like a tiger and wolf, but Jinyiwei is too idle to hurt the egg, that man just talked a few words like all the people and was put on a big hat with fine work, and he was arrested in the shape of a teacher, which is really a big fuss.

But after experiencing this scene in front of him, Song Nan's heart was shrouded in a dark cloud, this is the real Ming Dynasty, but it is not an era when you can live a chic and comfortable life, you may be targeted and denounced when you speak and do things, and then it will be doomed, Song Nan felt an invisible pressure for the first time, that is a kind of insecurity that the right to life is not guaranteed, in the final analysis, his current situation is like the thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, his life is like an ant, and he may be terminated by the powerful at any time, thinking of this, Song Nan's heart is very blocked, I've completely lost my appetite.

……

August 25 Gongyuan opened, the whole city gathered in the Gongyuan Square, behind the high gate of the Gongyuan is a row of candidates for the examination of the number of houses, the Xiucai lined up to slowly move to the gate to be inspected, the soldiers on the side like a thief staring at the Xiucai, among them there are many conspicuously dressed brocade guards.

Song Nan carried Kaolan and looked around with the crowd, and finally moved to the main entrance of the third entrance of the south of the Gongyuan after an hour, and looked up at the large golden plaque on the wooden archway at the gate of the Gongyuan, which read: "Selecting talents for the country", which was quite imposing.

Suddenly, seeing a candidate in front of the queue put down the exam basket and quickly undressed and undressed, Song Nan was a little strange, the weather was very cold, and his hands and feet were frozen, could it be that this benevolent brother was sweating excitedly?

"Brother Nian, please, it's better to go in and take off your clothes, beware of catching a cold on a cold day." Seeing that Na Xiucai couldn't stop taking off, almost naked, Song Nan couldn't help but remind.

The man turned around and glanced at Song Nan and said, "Do you think I like to take off my clothes?" You look ahead. ”

Song Nan looked in the direction of his head, and saw dozens of soldiers at the gate lined up in a row to form a bayonet, and two Gong soldiers with hanging waist knives were facing a Xiucai who had stripped off only a single clothes, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is ......" Song Nan was confused, could it be ...... This year, too?

"The year before last, there was a big case of fraud in Fujian, and someone hid the cheat sheet in underwear and brought it into the examination room, no, this year, the Ministry of Rites issued a strict order, requiring all candidates to take off and check, don't rub it, take it off quickly."

Song Nan was depressed to death, and looked left and right that everyone was undressing, so he had to slowly tie his clothes, and finally arrived at the bayonet, and after the two soldiers who were in charge of searching checked Kaolan, the four thin paws touched their bodies.

Song Nan's heart turned nausea, closed his eyes and endured it, maybe Song Nansheng was a little more handsome, and the two soldiers kept touching each other, and seemed to be happy to do it.

Song Nan was cold and annoyed, and frowned: "Is there any end?" How many times have you touched it up and down? ”

A thin-faced soldier scolded: "Do you like to touch it? You're not an Oiran lady, and you don't bother to touch you if you're not on official business. ”

Another yellow plate tooth soldier smiled and said, "That's it, it's hard for you to be a woman dressed as a man." ”

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "You are the woman, and the master is the man among men." ”

When the thin-faced soldier heard this, he smiled and said, "I want to see if you are a man among men." After that, he stretched out his hand and stroked Song Nan's crotch.

Song Nan didn't expect these soldiers to be so bold, so frightened that he shrank his butt out of control, and said angrily while dressing: "You guys are so rude." ”

The thin-faced soldier stood there in a daze, his expression was stunned, Song Nan quickly got dressed and carried Kao Lan across the bayonet and spat at the mouth, but the soldier didn't react at all.

"What's the matter, bro? What are you stunned about, don't worry, isn't it just a showman, what if you touch him, although I can see the official in the Ming Dynasty and not kneel, and I also have some identity, but that's just talking, these poor sour, what if you touch him? The Yellow Plate Tooth Soldier patted the thin-faced soldier's shoulder and said in relief.

"No, brother, this kid...... What a big one...... Full of capital, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu didn't hold a hand...... "The thin-faced soldier said with a dull face.
