Xu He was helpless, so he had to beg: "Big brother, help, you just say that I have an urgent matter to find the great master, a hundred thousand urgent matters." ”

Menzi was slapped before, if it weren't for the money, he would have been angry.

Seeing that Xu He was still rotten, the money just now was useless, and he said with a cold face: "What place do you think this is?" Come on? How many people like you ask to see the Great Grandmaster, who doesn't say that they are in a hurry! Roll on! ”

In normal times, Xu He really couldn't afford to lose this person, but at this time, he was helpless, so he had to open the way with silver and take out all the money from his arms.

But he came out in a hurry, and he didn't have much on him, and the man watched Xu He dig and touch for a long time, and then took out two silver buns that had been twisted with scissors, and the impatience on his face was even stronger.

Fortunately, Ouyang Jun suddenly took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels from his arms and put it in the hand of the menzi, and the menzi hesitated.

"Brother Concierge, there is really an emergency, please help, you can tell the great grandmaster, what Xu He said is very important, if you don't see it, I am afraid that someone will die!"

Menzi didn't care if he couldn't get killed, he looked at the silver ticket, and opened the silver bun in Xu He's hand.

Seeing this, Xu He hurriedly stuffed the silver bun in his hand into his hand.

Seeing this, the doorman turned angry and smiled: "I don't want to scold the son......"

Xu He saw that he was talking nonsense, so he arched his hand and said, "Brother Concierge, I'm really in a hurry!" ”

Seeing this, the man put the silver ticket into his sleeve, and then played with the two silver buns and went in.

Just when Xu He and Ouyang Jun were anxious, the man came out again and said, "Come with me, the great master has promised to see you!" ”

Hearing this, Xu He and Ouyang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came to the back office, Wang Liangchen sat on the Taishi chair in a scarlet robe and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Hearing the movement, he saw that the people who came were Xu He and Ouyang Jun, and suddenly said unclearly: "Isn't the lawsuit between the two of you already over during the annual exam?" Why are you still here? ”

Xu He knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly told him how Xie Liangcai invited guests to dinner tonight, how they heard the movement next door, and his own guess.

At the beginning, Wang Liangchen's eyes were still slightly closed, and there was no movement.

But when he heard Xu He's guess, he was taken aback and said, "Liangsheng, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" ”

Xu He arched his hand and said: "It's just a guess, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of ......."

Wang Liangchen finally got up and paced around the back hall to think.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, lock the courtyard tonight, if the examiner Lord Gu has already entered the examination room, even if it is an immortal, there is no way!" ”

Xu He asked, "Is Lord Wang going to go directly to the examiner?" ”

Wang Liangchen said with a cold expression: "This kind of thing, I don't believe it's Gu Shouyuan!" ”

Xu He thought about it and seemed to make sense.

Gu Shouyuan was trusted by the emperor and served as the master of the prince's spring fang, and the future is promising, it is the critical time to cherish the feathers, how can it be possible to capsize the boat because of the small township test?

Seeing that Wang Liangchen intended to find Gu Shouyuan to solve the matter, Xu He urged: "Lord Wang, that's fast, it's too late, this township test is going to have an accident!" ”

When Wang Liangchen heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, took Xu He and Ouyang Jun out of the middle hall, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare a car to go to the post house where Gu Shouyuan stayed.

Three days before the examination, the examiners, subordinate officials, sergeants, and listeners of the township examination must all go to live in the thorny valley, and are not allowed to communicate with the outside world, except for the external curtain officials, of course.

The so-called thorny is the examination room of the township examination.

Because it is enclosed by a fence and the wall is full of sharpened bamboo, it is called a thorn.

After waiting for the inner curtain official to wait for someone to go in, unless the emperor has a special order, he must not come out.

Therefore, Xu He and others were very anxious.

When the carriage came to the inn, the coachman went to inquire, but heard that the examiner, Master Gu, had already walked a stick of incense.

When the three of them heard this, their heads suddenly became bigger.

The post house is not far from the Gongyuan, I'm afraid it's too late.

But it's all here, it's about a bunch of scarlet official uniforms, and it's already in the heads of many people, and Wang Liangchen doesn't dare to give up halfway, so he can only continue to urge the carriage to speed through the streets of Jinling at night.

On the way, I encountered a lot of patrolling Zhennan guards.

When they saw that the carriage did not slow down when they saw pedestrians at night, only the coachman shouted hoarsely in front of the carriage: "Get out of the way".

One of them wanted to stop the carriage for questioning, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by his companions.

"What are you pulling me for? The city is rushing, we are going to catch the people in the car and interrogate them! ”

The companion scolded: "You have eyes in the crotch of your pants? This is the carriage of the Yamen! ”

"What?" The man was a fat man.

"How?" His companion looked at him like a fool, "It's about to take the township test, and at this time, the carriage of the Yamen is rushing like crazy, what do you think is going wrong?" ”

"What's going on?"

"Something's wrong, idiot!"

"What then?"

"Go and report to Captain Wu!"

……

Hurrying and hurrying, the carriage finally arrived at the Gongyuan Thorn Valley, and the name of the Thorn Cave is indeed worthy of its name.

The outer wall of the thorn is one and a half feet high, the inner wall is about one zhang high, and the inner and outer walls are paved with thorns.

There are troops stationed outside the wall to patrol in sections around the perimeter, and the precautions are very strict, and each township test will not be the guard post of the last patrol, in case of malpractice.

The sergeant of the courtyard saw a carriage coming galloping from a distance, and hurriedly moved the horse to block the road.

The carriage of the Yamen had no choice but to tighten the reins and stop.

Wang Liangchen was so anxious that he didn't wait for the sergeant to come for interrogation, turned to Xu He and said, "You come down with me." ”

When the three of them walked to the front of the rejection horse, the sergeant guarding the road saw a scarlet-robed officer approaching, and hurriedly bowed: "I don't know which one it is?" What is the business trip to the Gongyuan late at night! ”

Wang Liangchen said: "I am an undergraduate township trial officer, and Nanzhili is a scholar Wang Liangchen!" ”

When the sergeants heard that it was a scholar, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "I don't know if it's my lord, I saw the carriage galloping, so I ......."

Before they could finish speaking, Wang Liangchen interrupted impatiently: "Did you enter the main exam?" ”

The sergeants said in unison: "Not yet!" ”

When Xu He heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Liangchen relaxed at this time, and felt that people were about to collapse, and fortunately in misfortune, if Gu Shouyuan went in, everything would be over.

At this moment, the sound of the wheels of the carriage "deer deer" was heard behind them, and a carriage drove towards them unhurriedly.

Xu He looked at it and saw that the lantern in front of the carriage read "Ordered to inspect the Tianxiang test", and the other lantern read "Qiu Yu Zhu Examination Hanlin Academy Gu"!

"It's Lord Gu's carriage!" Xu He said to Wang Liangchen.

At this time, the carriage had already come to Wang Liangchen's car, and a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby white face walked down from the car, only to see that man smiled and said: "Brother Rulin, you came quite early!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Liangchen smiled bitterly and said, "Mingshan, something big has happened!" ”
