Thinking about this, his eyes suddenly saw a person wearing a cloak and a fur hat, there was no expression on his red face, he came in surrounded by several people, and after the other party came in, he looked around, his eyes met Su Ziji's, the muscles on his cheeks twitched, he smiled coldly, and sat down in the position occupied by Cao Jincai.

"It's Boss Zhang, sure enough, this debtor has to wait for a result. ”

Seeing that the other party arrived, he didn't speak, just sat there drinking tea, and cast a cold gaze from time to time, Su Ziji suddenly understood, and his heart was terrified.

"Coming, coming!" At this moment, there was a commotion among the people gathered outside, and the people here in the restaurant also became excited.

The examination was announced, which was called "the case", and the cannon was fired with a blower, with five people pasted on the top and fifteen people posted on the bottom, and some people read the list, which is generally the main book of the county government.

Sure enough, when Su Ziji looked through the open window, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a Zhengjiupin official uniform, holding a wooden plate, and walked out under the protection of the officials.

Suddenly, everyone looked.

In this county examination in Linhua County, only 20 people were admitted.

The roll call of the list is from high to low, and the master book cleared his throat and read: "Linhua County County County Examination in the seventeenth year of Chengshou, first place...... Pingmao Township Yulu!"

When Yu Lu's name was said by the main book, Su Ziji could feel that Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how confident he was, he was still nervous before there was no result.

"Ah, Brother Yu, you are the head of the county case!" Zhang Sheng immediately shouted.

"Oh my God, this is Yu Lu, sure enough, it's him, he is the head of the county case, and the show is the must. At this moment, a voice of surprise and envy sounded in the restaurant.

Su Ziji sitted, although he had expected it a long time ago, he still sighed secretly, and congratulated Yu Lu: "Congratulations, Brother Yu, you deserve to be the head of the county case!"

"Actually, your level is still above me......" Yu Lu shook his head, he had read books for ten years, and he could see it with this vision, but his words were interrupted by the roll call below.

"Second place, looking for cattle and benefiting from Jinfu. ”

As the name was spoken, there was a commotion in a corner of the restaurant, and someone excitedly chanted: "I'm in, I'm in!"

The sound of congratulations suddenly sounded, and everyone cast envious glances, and then quietly waited for the next name.

"Third place, Ma Wendong of Anhu Township. ”

Su Ziji also sat and listened, until he heard that the master book had read the top ten, and when he didn't have his own name, he felt that some malicious eyes were thrown at him, and he didn't need to look at it, he knew that most of the creditors and Zhang Boss and his party were from the same result.

Seeing the main book coughing and fetching water to drink, Cao Jincai smiled happily and said to Boss Zhang: "Sure enough, this Su Ziji is a guy who can't support the wall in the mud!

Boss Zhang listened, his original expressionless face was already with a cruel smile, Boss Zhang debuted at the age of thirteen, and now, he has a twenty-year career in the rivers and lakes, people are not cunning, and they don't know where they have sunk for a long time.

Su Ziji's trick, he saw through it at a glance, not only did he not stop being angry, but aroused vigilance and suspicion.

"Do you want to take advantage of the county exam and get together when the students gather, so that I can't move?"

"Could it be that Yan Er's death has something to do with him?"

"Even if it doesn't matter, such a smart person is an enemy, and he can't stay at all. "At this time, Boss Zhang didn't think of killing people, now Da Zheng has not been open to the country for a long time, it is not a troubled time, the politics are clear, if something happens, he can't escape!

"But you can break your legs, and you should pay attention to your manners in the imperial examination, but don't be crippled. "As soon as his brain turned, Boss Zhang gave birth to a poisonous plan.

"Now, let's force it in public, and let everyone know that he is a poor man in debt!"

Thinking of this, Boss Zhang had already glanced at Cao Jincai.

Cao Jincai saw it, looked back, got up suddenly, walked straight to Su Ziji's table, stood in front of the table and said: "Su Ziji, don't say that you didn't win, even if you win, it is a matter of course to repay the debt, and your debt is due!"

Without waiting for Su Ziji to speak, Zhang Sheng had already taken the case: "Who are you? Such disrespectful remarks? Get out! You villain, don't pollute this place!"

As he spoke, he drove people out.

Cao Jincai was not convinced, and shouted: "It is natural to repay debts, can a scholar not pay back?"

The voice shouted, many people knew Cao Jincai of this casino, and couldn't help whispering: "Could it be the gambling debt owed by Su Ziji?"

A few people's eyes lit up, and Da Zheng clearly announced that students were not allowed to gamble, and offenders would be punished.

Su Ziji looked at this scene and said, "Don't worry, although I borrowed your usury in order to bury my father, I will pay you back the money." ”

"You want to hit my ancestral tomb, it's delusional. ”

As he spoke, he took out the broken silver from his bosom, about seven taels.

Cao Jincai was originally shocked, but when he saw that there were only seven taels, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "This amount of money, even the monthly interest is not enough, pay it back quickly!"

At this time, not to mention the students watching in the restaurant, even the people who gathered to watch the excitement also asked the people around them what the situation was.

At a table in the corner, a middle-aged man wearing a sauce-colored cotton robe, and a young man all looked over and immediately asked the guy who served the food.

"How dare the villain say more!" The guy who ran the hall laughed, and when he saw the young man frowning, he threw away a piece of silver: "Add some more vegetables, serve some wine, and reward you for the rest!"

This is a tael of broken silver, and the guy immediately narrowed his eyes into a slit, and bowed: "Thank you!"

said in a low voice: "That's Boss Zhang of the Black Turban Society in this county, who is as famous as the Raft Gang and the Wealth Enhancement Society, I don't know why I fell in love with Su Zi's ancestral tomb, and designed him to borrow usury, and the interest rate has almost doubled in three months, how can I pay it back?"

"Hey, Su Zi's loan is not for anything else, he wants to bury his deceased father, he is a filial son!"

In a few words, the matter was made clear, the middle-aged man remained silent, and the young man looked at Boss Zhang coldly, with Sen Sen in his eyes: "Black scarf meeting?"

"Childe, please don't be impatient, we are not here this time to check these ruffians, it is a matter of inspection. The middle-aged man said.

The young man nodded and stopped talking, but it was not complicated, and everyone understood.

Borrowing money to bury his father and refusing to sell the tomb is filial piety, Yu Lu was furious: "It's really hateful, Brother Su, I'll borrow you five taels." ”

Zhang Sheng also found six taels of silver.

"Eighteen taels, and fifteen taels of silver are owed. Cao Jincai didn't expect that there were really friends willing to pay, so he was shocked and shouted after counting.

"Fifteen taels of silver, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Yu Lu said with a calm face.

"No, Yu Gongzi, look at this IOU, it will expire today, and tomorrow, it will be profitable, not fifteen taels, but forty-three taels, minus eighteen taels, and you have to give twenty-five taels!" Cao Jincai said, glanced at it, and saw that although the remaining students were sympathetic, no one borrowed money, and shouted at the moment.
