[Chapter 165: Registration and Conspiracy] (2 more)

This time, among the more than 20 disciples of the Qingling Pavilion, only Li Chun participated in the imperial examination, and for the Qingling Pavilion, the senior brother's house examination was naturally another major event.

After the Heavenly Annihilation Sect incident was resolved, the Qingling Pavilion reopened for teaching, and a group of senior brothers gathered again in a noisy manner.

The government examination is actually not complicated, as long as it is a resident under the age of 45 in Qingfeng City, someone can sign up for it, and only charge an application fee of four taels of silver. After registering, you can get the license plate and document file, you can enter the number number field on the day of the test, check the information with the number plate, and you can get the test paper and participate in the government test.

Li Chun is a student of the Qingling Pavilion, so naturally the Qingling Pavilion is the agent of the guarantee and registration matters, and after mentioning it to a few old gentlemen, they have also done it as soon as possible and helped Li Chun get back the number plate and file.

This year, more than 1,000 scholars finally applied for the examination in Qingfeng City, and Li Chun signed up late, and the number reached more than 800.

"Among the thousands, there are only a few dozen people at most, and I can't relax!"

The number of recruits for Xiucai is not limited, but there will be no more than 30 people at most, and if the performance of the year is not good, there is also a record of only five people.

On the day of the exam, Li Chun saw the bustling crowd outside the examination room, some of them were already over the age of confusion, and even their temples were white and haggard, some were dressed in rags and had vegetables on their faces, and some even had pale faces and were out of breath, obviously coming from illness.

He sighed in his heart, and made up his mind.

"Big brother, come on!"

"Senior brother will definitely be able to pass the test!"

Huo'er had inconvenient legs and feet, so he was not sent to the test. A group of brothers and sisters surrounded Li Chun and reluctantly sent him to the door of the examination room.

Li Chun smiled and waved goodbye to them, and then turned around and handed over the number plate and file.

The guard at the gate saw that he was young. Be polite to him, after all, don't bully the young and poor, maybe this turn will be the show master - if those who are older and poor and sour looking, they would have been impatiently urging.

"Li Chun, fifteen years old!

They checked the information and nodded, "It's true that I'm correct." Let's go inside!"

The guard on the right pointed ahead, after the statue of the Holy Dao Ancestor, it was the examination room for the first Dao exam!

Li Chun smiled and nodded. Carrying the basket, he took a deep breath, didn't look back, and bowed slightly to the statue of Dao Ancestor. Turn the back. Just sit down in the exam room by number plate.

He came early, sparsely populated in the field, and there were not a few people seated.

The men all looked nervous, sitting still one by one, no one spoke, and the sound of breathing was clearly discernible.

"In the end, it is the most important exam in life, although the first one is not difficult, but the atmosphere is tense enough......"

Li Chun sighed. Gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Do you see clearly? It's him!"

When Li Chun stepped into the examination room, he didn't notice a pair of resentful eyes that had been staring at him from a distance.

In the private room of the restaurant opposite the examination room. The two sat opposite each other, and one of the middle-aged fat men was pale, gritting his teeth and pointing at Li Chun's disappearing back.

His fingers were still trembling, and his otherwise fat face was distorted due to hatred, making it even more hideous.

Li Chun's enemies are not many, and this extremely vicious middle-aged man is Meng Tong's father, Meng Zhuangsheng, a wealthy merchant in Qingfeng City.

He had already made up his mind to die, but after Cui Feiye's words, there was a ray of light, although the experience of these few days made him frightened, but he also knew that there was no turning back.

Opposite Meng Zhuangsheng was a thin man with a withered face, his eyes swept coldly at Li Chun's back, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he nodded silently.

"Zheng Dalang, you have not been admitted to the imperial examination three times, and you are already twenty-seven years old this year, but I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future!"

"This time, as long as you help me kill this kid, I will ensure that you will have food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Meng Zhuangsheng's eyes were red, and he opened a small box and pushed it in front of the fat man named Zheng Dalang.

Inside the box, there is a stack of silver tickets with a face value of one hundred taels, and judging from the thickness, there are at least two or three thousand taels!

Zheng Dalang's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily stretched out his hand forward, but gritted his teeth and held back.

"Uncle Meng, I still have some confidence in my swordsmanship, this imperial examination is ...... a big deal."

"If Da Lang is confident, it's not too late to wait for the next exam!" Meng Zhuangsheng was disdainful in his heart, the unspoken rule of the government examination now is to admit more young people, and being over twenty-five years old is almost a hurdle, unless he is really amazing, the possibility of passing the test is extremely small, otherwise how could he come to find this person?

This person's martial arts are clearly murderous martial arts, although he already has the strength of a sword master, and his real skills are far above ordinary scholars, but he has never passed the threshold of the imperial examination, he should have woken up a long time ago, what are you dreaming of?

"I just knew that you were good at swordsmanship, so I came to ask you to do this. ”

"You have to think about it, even if you are admitted to Xiucai, at your current age, it is difficult for someone to recruit, and you may not be able to earn three thousand taels of silver in ten years!"

Zheng Dalang's expression changed, how could he not know that what Meng Zhuangsheng said was the truth, but he had always refused to give up, and now under the temptation of real money, he finally made a decision! He gritted his teeth and reached out to pinch the box on the table, but he still had some scruples.

"That kid's strength is not weak......"

"Hmph!" Speaking of his son, Meng Zhuangsheng clenched his fists, "This kid is indeed not simple, but no matter what, he is not your opponent." ”

Li Chun doesn't have any good records, especially the threshold of a swordsman is extremely high, not ordinary people can simply cross it, even if the talent is good, there is no reason to fly over within a few days.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, "In the sword fighting competition, how could he not have expected that you would have murderous intent, why would it be difficult for you to take his life by surprise?"

No one is allowed to kill or injure people in the imperial examination, and Li Chun has never known Zheng Dalang, so naturally he can't imagine that he is secretly killing - this is the most promising opportunity for Meng Zhuangsheng to calculate.

If someone was sent to attack and kill before the imperial examination, it would be too revealing to show traces, and now Li Chun can be regarded as entering the eyes of all the nobles in the city, not to mention that there is a letter hidden in the king, there will always be people who will pay attention to him; if after the examination, Li Chun will be able to show off his talents, and there will be no way to deal with it.

Only in the exam, in the ring, killing him in one fell swoop, and it is said that he missed for a while, what can others say?

"Okay! I said yes!"

Zheng Dalang gritted his teeth and pulled out the silver ticket in the box, stuffed it into his sleeve indiscriminately, got up and turned his head to leave, his footsteps swayed, and it was obvious that he was still very frightened in his heart.

Just for the money, it is inevitable that you will be desperate!

Meng Zhuangsheng saw him accept the silver ticket, his heart was settled, he was still sitting by the window and looking at the door of the examination room, only to see Zheng Dalang swaying into the examination room, then he poured a glass of wine, drank it tremblingly, and his face turned pale.

By now, he is already a puppet in the hands of others, and he has to fight against Li Chun to the end no matter what. (To be continued......)
