Chapter 85: Toxic Attack

He had no answer to that question at all.

Li Yuan's fingers clenched into fists in his cuffs, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to fight!

"Good! I drink! ”

Li Yuan shouted, directly picked up the tea bowl, and poured the tea down with his neck up.

A grim smile appeared on the corners of the mouths of several of the examiners, as if they had predicted or did not expect such an outcome.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Li Yuan suddenly choked and coughed.

Several assessors looked at Li Yuan's embarrassed appearance, couldn't help laughing, and laughed.

"Hahaha~~~"

"Ouch! I'm laughing to death! Hahaha~~~"

At this moment, a hand patted Li Yuan's shoulder.

Li Yuan turned around and found that the person who came was a thin young man, dressed very ordinarily, but with a calm and calm face.

"My name is Yang Guozhi. The young man stretched out his hand to Li Yuan.

\"Li Yuan. Li Yuan also stretched out his hand.

Yang Guozhi smiled and said, "You live here tonight, and we will start the assessment tomorrow, I hope you can pass the test." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and asked again, "What the hell is going on, why was I inexplicably arranged here?"

Yang Guozhi smiled mysteriously and said, "You will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Li Yuan shrugged his shoulders, since Yang Guozhi said so, he couldn't ask questions, he always felt that there was a conspiracy waiting for him.

"I'll go first, see you tomorrow morning." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Yang Guozhi looked at the direction of Li Yuan's departure and said thoughtfully: "This Li Yuan is quite to my liking, but I don't know if his luck can guarantee that he can pass the customs smoothly all the way." ”

However, Li Yuan has a good mentality, even if there is a pit, he jumps.

As night fell, the door of the splendid trading house was closed, and only a faint light was reflected in the antique mansion.

In the courtyard, more than 20 people gathered together, all with solemn faces and solemn expressions.

They were dressed in rich robes, with high crowned hats on their heads, and held elaborate jade fans.

In this quiet night, they seem to be sleeping portraits, quietly waiting for something.

Suddenly, an old man in a purple robe walked slowly in front of everyone, and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this assessment is to discuss the future assistants of the Splendid Firm.

Everyone nodded, but no one spoke. The atmosphere in the hall became even more silent, with only the faint chirping of cicadas coming from time to time, breaking the silence of the night.

Just then, a young man in a green shirt walked in. He was slender, handsome, and holding a thick book in his hand, which looked particularly out of place.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they all cast strange glances at him. But the young man didn't care, walked straight up to the old man, and said respectfully: "Sun has some ideas about the development of the Splendid Commercial Bank, I don't know if I can offer them?" ”

The old man glanced at him, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to speak. The young man began to elaborate on his thoughts, his tone impassioned, his words full of confidence and determination.

Gradually, everyone's expressions began to change, they began to listen carefully, and some even began to nod their heads in agreement.

On this night, it seems that a new breath has begun to spread in the splendid trading house.

As the night deepened, everyone left one by one, leaving only young men and old men in the hall.

The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Young man, you have a brave and impactful heart, which is exactly what the Splendid Company does not need. You're eliminated. ”

The young man felt a deep sense of mission in his heart, and he imagined that he would definitely have a place in this ancient and vibrant trading house, and he would achieve great things.

More than 20 people are: Li Yuan, Hu Yue, Yang Guozhi and others, in addition to these three people, there are three men and two women.

In addition, most of them are the men and guards of the Splendid Trading Company.

Yang Guozhi stood at the front, he looked at the crowd: "I brought you here today mainly to introduce the rules of our splendid firm, the items of this test are relatively simple, everyone draws lots, decides the scene and object of their own battle, and the winner is considered to pass the test." ”

The vast majority of these people are from the rivers and lakes, and a few are children of official families.

They were not in the least surprised by such a selection.

"In addition, we have a rule in the Splendid Trading Company, and everyone who participates in the selection must take a poison antidote."

Hearing the word 'poison', Li Yuan couldn't help but shiver, although he drank a bowl of tea just now, he still felt a faint pain in his chest.

"Of course, if anyone can make it to the end, they can get more rewards, but as for what kind of rewards, I won't say for the time being. Now draw lots. ”

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at the bamboo tube in front of him, for fear of missing the opportunity.

"Smack!" With a bang, Li Yuan pulled out a space.

Yang Guozhi smiled and said, "Congratulations to Gongzi Li." ”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his luck was good, and he was the first to have a bye.

Li Yuan did not leave immediately, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The room is richly furnished, with colorful silk on the beams, colorful paper flowers on the windows, pictures of ladies and beauties painted on the walls, and delicate utensils on the tables.

Such a decoration style and furnishings made Li Yuan wonder if he had really come to the palace.

There should be something like a secret door or a secret room here, Li Yuan couldn't help but guess.

"Now I'm going to tell you about the next round of testing......

Yang Guozhi continued: "Everyone in this room needs to stay in the room for a long enough time within the specified hour, and not beyond the specified time. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

What does that mean? Does this have anything to do with time? ”

"Of course!" Yang Guozhi said with a smile.

The treasures in this room are all provided by us. I give you the time of the three pillars of incense, whoever gets the baby will belong to whom, the three pillars of incense burn out, the baby is not taken out of it is regarded as eliminated, and those who have no confidence can abstain. ”

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up! Li Yuan couldn't wait to urge.

Yang Guozhi glanced at him lightly and slowly spit out two words:

"What's the hurry?"

"Forehead ......." Li Yuan was speechless, he found that Yang Guozhi was very fond of showing off his mysteries, which made people confused.

However, Li Yuan was a little puzzled as to why, from the beginning to the present, it was this person named Yang Guozhi who dominated everything.

According to the rules, it should be the people of the Splendid Commercial Bank who are responsible for reading out the test rules, not the anti-customer as it is now.

Could it be that this Yang Guozhi has any extraordinary means, so these trivial matters will be handed over to him to deal with.

Although Li Yuan didn't know Yang Guozhi's identity, he knew that the other party knew how to play with human nature the most.

Yang Guozhi has always played the role of a messenger, which is obviously illogical.

Could it be that there are other high-level executives in the Splendid Commercial Bank, and Yang Guozhi is just a person recommended by a senior executive of the Splendid Commercial Bank to come in to help?

A strong uneasiness rose in Li Yuan's heart, and he felt that a pair of invisible hands were slowly approaching him, threatening to devour him at any time.

Li Yuan suddenly felt that this assessment was a bit complicated, and he couldn't figure out what the Splendid Commercial Bank was doing.

At this moment, Li Yuan found that Hu who was originally sitting next to him was probably gone.

Li Yuan swept left and right.

"Humph!"

Yang Guozhi suddenly snorted coldly, and Li Yuan suddenly felt his ears buzzing.

Li Yuan's face instantly turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground.

Yang Guozhi stared at Li Yuan coldly and said, "I warn you!" If you dare to play any tricks, then don't blame me for being rude to you! ”

Li Yuan swallowed his saliva, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"Okay, now everyone hurry up and draw lots."

As soon as Yang Guozhi's words fell, everyone scrambled to draw out the lottery in their hands.

Yang Guozhi commanded: "You, come and draw lots!" ”

The person named by Yang Guozhi was Hu Yue. He walked up to Yang Guozhi and stretched out his hand respectfully, and Yang Guozhi personally handed him the bamboo stick.

Hu probably asked Yang Guozhi in a low voice.

Soon, Hu probably pulled out a bamboo stick.

Hu probably looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, frowned slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he looked up at Li Yuan, his lips squirming.

Li Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he already had a premonition that Hu was probably going to be unfavorable to him.

Yang Guozhi noticed Li Yuan's abnormality, and he asked, "What?" Do you have any questions? ”

"No....... No! ”

Li Yuan stammered and replied.

Yang Guozhi smiled, then handed a piece of jade pendant to Hu Yue, and said, "Since there is no problem, then you can go and rest." “

Hu probably took the jade pendant given by Yang Guozhi, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

After a while, Hu probably walked up to Li Yuan's side and said, "This Yang Guozhi is weird. ”

"Oh? Li Yuan chuckled in his heart, and his first feeling was that Hu had probably discovered something.

"What ??? did you find?" Li Yuan pretended to be calm and asked.

"I don't know, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing." Hu probably whispered.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Li Yuan said secretly in his heart.

"I think you'd better be careful." Hu probably sees that there is danger behind the good intentions.

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I know." ”

.........

Yang Guozhi asked everyone to compete for the baby, and forcibly eliminated those who did not have the baby. It's a simple and crude way, but it's a no-brainer.

However, this method also worked, and it didn't take long for a few people to stand up and admit defeat, and in the end, only eleven people remained here.

Seven or eight of the remaining nine were not convinced, and they approached Yang Guozhi one after another, saying that they did not agree to withdraw from the competition.

But Yang Guozhi didn't give them a chance at all, and threw them out of the door one by one.

Li Yuan saw that as soon as seven or eight people left the door, they immediately collapsed on the ground, their faces were as pale as paper, and they kept muttering: "It hurts, it hurts......."

This scene made Li Yuan feel a chill.

This way of torturing people is really a test of patience.

It turned out that what they all drank was poisonous, and as soon as they left the room, the poison would attack immediately.
