On the afternoon of August 26, Shi Yuan dismounted on the street of Guanyin Bridge and threw the horsewhip to his entourage, so that people did not have to follow, and strode into the crowd.

After he had the Great Fortune Boat, he made money every day, the shabby air was swept away, and his body swelled, all the way to Dingfang Restaurant, only there was still a trace of the past when he walked - always looking sideways, as if he was afraid of hitting something.

He squeezed all the way into the restaurant, and stepped up the stairs in a commotion, and there were sharp-eyed people below, who immediately shouted when they saw him: "Shi Ye, come and have a drink!" ”

"Shi Ye also came to see the Dragon and Tiger List?"

"Have you booked a cabinet? Do you want to sit together? ”

Shi Yuan replied with his hand, and then walked up, his heart was really overturned, when his family was poor, he walked outside, and only Cheng San did not dislike it, but now his brother-in-law's family does not dare to shout at his sister at will.

He walked up to the second floor in three or two steps, found the "square" word pavilion, straightened his clothes at the door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Someone in the house soon responded, he hurriedly pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door, and saw Wu Jin standing tall and jade, watching the situation of the tribute courtyard by the window.

Today's auspicious time is the end of the time, this time is coming, the outside of the tribute courtyard is crowded, the soldiers are holding long knives, standing in front of the "list wall", separating the crowd from the list wall ten steps away.

On the top of the list wall, a piece of yellow paper reads "Yuan Zhang's 28th year Kuanzhou Liberation Trial Tribute Institute Release Office", waiting for the list of people to raise their heads, stretch their necks, look at these words again and again, I can't wait to pull the sun down, as soon as possible.

There was a commotion everywhere, and at a glance, there was a lot of rubbing shoulders and stuffing the streets, all waiting for the list to be released.

Wu Jin turned around and walked to the table, holding a pot and pouring a cup of tea for Shi Yuan: "There are still two quarters of an hour." ”

Shi Yuan hurriedly took the teacup, thanked Wu Jin, sat down with the teacup, raised his head and drank it - he squeezed over all the way, and his shoes were almost lost.

After drinking tea, he saw a few complimentary snacks on the table, opened his mouth to eat, ate three pieces straight, and drank the rest of the tea, the feeling of hunger disappeared, and his face became a lot more energetic, and he bowed his hand to Wu Jin with shame: "It's rude." ”

Wu Jin poured him another cup of tea, got up and opened the door again, called the running hall, and asked him to serve the food, and the running hall immediately opened his throat and shouted, but after a while, the food seller came over, laying two dishes of side dishes, a plate of meat buns, a plate of vegetable rolls, and a stewed hoof.

After waiting for the guy to leave, Shi Yuan took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Jin: "Last year, the leather armor was disassembled and sold, and this year there is a new trick, the leather armor is dismantled and sewn into tiger skin. ”

Wu Jin took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it, and put it in his sleeve again: "Thank you." ”

Shi Yuan picked up the chopsticks and took out a meat bun: "Wang, I'm afraid he has noticed it, his movements have been much smaller recently, and nothing has come out since this batch of leather armor." ”

Wu Jin said: "The reason why he relented was probably because of the defeat of the fortress. ”

The fortress supported by the imperial court, but the three villages were lost one after another, and even all the land outside Hengshan was lost, and the huge military salaries turned into smoke, and the resentment and dissatisfaction of the monarch, court officials, and the people all needed an outlet.

Wang Zhizhou knew this, so he converged and laid out in advance to seek a way back for himself.

Shi Yuan chewed the buns, figured out the reason, and said in a low voice: "This time is the best time to do it." ”

Wu Jin smiled, stared at the chopsticks and said, "No." ”

Wait, when Mo Lingfeng grows up a little more, is a little more stable, and can get out of all the disputes, it will be the best time.

Shi Yuan thought for a while: "It's true that you can do a wall view first, maybe we don't have to do it." ”

Wu Jin nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and stopped talking.

Shi Yuan didn't say much anymore, he was used to running outside, and he ate a meal in a hurry, and after eating a round of big meat buns, he began to work his hooves, Wu Jin sat opposite, eating slowly and logically, and when he was full of food and drink, after putting down the chopsticks, he also put down the chopsticks.

At this time, it was less than two quarters of an hour.

Shi Yuan got up and called the runner to come in, removed the scraps, replaced them with hot tea, and the two of them could start a new round of small talk against the hot tea.

At this moment, a gong sounded outside, followed by a strong roar: "Release the list!" ”

After the sound, the whole street was alarmed, and the people in the restaurants, foot shops, and tea shops all poked their heads out, and the people on the street scrambled to the front, and there was a tsunami-like shout.

Shi Yuan's mood was agitated, he rushed to the window with an arrow, stretched out his head to see the excitement, and saw that on both sides of the list wall, ladders had been erected, and two soldiers held both sides of the yellow paper list, one did not move, and the other slowly pulled it away.

Far away, Shi Yuan couldn't see the handwriting on the paper, but he also knew that the first to come out was the sixth place in Qiuyu, and below it was the name and place of origin, which were opened to the last place in turn, and then the fifth place, and it was written backwards until the first place Xie Yuan.

He turned his head to look at Wu Jin: "That little guy named Qi Chang, I don't know if he is on the list, I heard that when he took the exam, he sat on a toilet number?" ”

In the Gongyuan house, the one next to the latrine is the toilet number, and the smell is so bad that just sitting there is a kind of torture.

Wu Jin nodded: "He showed me silently, and the test was not bad." ”

"It's not easy." Shi Yuan sighed with emotion, and heard the drums and gongs below, and hurriedly turned his head back, leaned over and looked out, and saw that the dragon and tiger list had been hung up, some of them were for themselves, some were for others to see, and there were also those who couldn't read words, and they were caught in it to steal, laughing, crying, crazy, and making trouble, and it was a mess.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the people who reported the good news left first, and then there was silence, and after a while, the excitement dispersed a lot, and Shi Yuan's ears did not buzz.

The streets were still full of traffic, and there were people watching the list constantly squeezing in, and Shi Yuan saw Qi Chang among the students.

Qi Chang changed into a new shirt, because he was stiff on his back, he always wore it without ironing, and there were many wrinkles in plain fashion.

He hadn't looked at the list, starting from the left, the first place was sixth, he hurriedly moved to the right, but when he saw it, it was Xie Yuan, and he became more and more confused.

It was not easy to find the bottom of the list next to the big characters in the top five, and he started to find his name from the last place.

In the end, he found his name in the fortieth place.

"Fortieth place, Qi Chang, a person from Kuanzhou."

His back straightened silently, his face was excited and proud, and his heart almost exploded with joy, but there was no one to say, so he could only jump high on the spot, and then pressed his heart tightly with both hands.

This joy of no one to celebrate will soon be silent, and he will try his best to keep this moment.

At this moment, he was suddenly hit the shoulder, knocking him forward and staggering, almost falling on the soldier guarding the dragon and tiger list.

Before he could stand firmly, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qi Chang, you kid is developed, don't forget us!" ”

He turned his head and saw that five or six ruffians had surrounded him.
