Chapter 249: Woe to you
With the sound of the gong, the three-day township test finally came to an end.
The officials took away all the candidates' test papers separately as soon as possible, and then drove them out of the Gongyuan with expressionless and meticulous faces.
After walking out of the tribute courtyard, many talents had different expressions, a few were happy and some were sad. However, the exam is over, everything that can be done has been done, and the next thing is to look at God's will and wait for the release of the list in a few days.
Xu Xian still met with Fang Zhongyong first.
At the first sentence of the meeting, Fang Zhongyong said helplessly: "This time, I lost to you again, I am really a little unwilling." ”
Xu Xian was not modest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will still convince you in the end." ”
The two are so familiar with each other, they know each other very well, and they don't need to be modest and polite.
"Purple gas is rolling, and the sky is full of colorful clouds! When we first took the exam, the "Five Kingdoms Theory" you made did not cause such a vision. What kind of article did you make this time!" Fang Zhongyong shook his head and sighed. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "By the way, after winning the lift, you should be ready to go to the capital, right?" Many gentlemen of Yingtian Academy and the great Confucians of the Holy Academy are all eager to see you. This time, you have caused such a big movement in the autumn season, if you don't go to the capital again, someone should really come to invite you. ”
"It's time to go to the capital. Xu Xian nodded.
As the core place of the Dali Dynasty, it is also a place of wind and clouds, whether it is the imperial examination or cultivation, Xu Xian will eventually have to go to the capital.
However, it is impossible to go immediately after the exam, Xu Xian is going to stay in Suzhou Mansion and have a good tour before the autumn list is released. After the list is released, I will definitely have to go to Hangzhou Mansion.
Next, Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong separated.
Xu Xian had a lady waiting at the inn, and Fang Zhongyong also had to go back to accompany Peony.
After a year of recuperation, with the help of Fang Zhongyong, the peony that was beaten back to its original form had begun to cultivate again. Although the road to rebuilding is long, there is still hope that one day will be restored, and then the two will be able to stay together for a long time.
......
......
Xu Xian returned to the inn, Bai Suzhen had already prepared a table full of meals, waiting for the officials who had returned from the exam, and treated them well. However, Xu Xian found something abnormal, because although the business of the inn where they usually settled was not hot, it was not bad, but today it seemed extremely deserted, and even the second shopkeeper in the store looked listless and unenergetic.
Xu Xian saw it in his eyes and wondered in his heart, and when he sat down to eat with Bai Suzhen, he asked, "Where is Xiaoqing?"
Bai Suzhen gave Xu Xian a dish and began to slowly tell about the changes that had happened in Suzhou City during the three days of his exam.
Sure enough, just like the plot in the TV series, the toad spirit Wang Daoling began to take the wrong path after his panacea sales were cold, and began to poison a well in Suzhou City, and the people who took the well water began to have stomach aches one by one, and continued to go to the toilet, and only by taking his panacea could the symptoms be alleviated.
In this way, Wang Daoling naturally immediately became a famous miracle doctor in Suzhou City, no matter how expensive his medicine was, the people could only buy his medicine.
This is also the reason why business in the inn is so depressed, even the shopkeeper and the second child are sick!
However, now Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing don't know that all this is Wang Daoling's ghost. It's just that when they were tasting the food yesterday, they found the toxins contained in the food, so they investigated and traced it back to the problem with the water source, and found that many wells in Suzhou City were actually poisoned.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were very indignant when they saw this, and wanted to take care of this matter.
Xiaoqing was not in the inn, but was guarding the well, trying to find out the poisoner.
After Xu Xian heard this, he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that after Liang Lian, the toad spirit king Dao Ling appeared again, and he was so evil!
Xu Xian thought about it, but he didn't move, and was ready to wait for Xiaoqing to come back.
Anyway, since Xiaoqing has already started squatting, he will definitely be able to find out that it is Wang Daoling's medicine.
......
Late at night.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were about to blow out the lamp and go to bed, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Bai Suzhen said with a smile: "Xiaoqing is back, it should be the result of the investigation." ”
Sure enough, after Xiaoqing came in, she poured herself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, she said angrily: "Sister, you definitely don't know who the poisoner is!"
"Who is it?" Bai Suzhen asked curiously.
"It's the day we met that swindling, stinking toad on the street!" Xiaoqing put the teacup heavily on the table.
"Is it him?" Bai Suzhen frowned slightly.
She didn't plan to deal with the toad spirit yet, the hatred between the two hundreds of years ago is not entangled now, and there is no need to delve into it. But if Wang Daoling poisoned the people so much, Bai Suzhen would have to take care of it.
Xiaoqing nodded and said angrily: "That's this guy! He took the poison to every well in Suzhou City every night to poison it, and after people were poisoned by drinking water, he began to sell the antidote." That way, he doesn't have to go out on the streets, and countless customers will flock to his door and call him the savior!
Bai Suzhen also nodded, but she didn't think of any way to clean up the toad essence for a while.
If he came directly to the door and debunked his conspiracy, the toad spirit would definitely not admit it.
At this time, Xu Xian smiled and said, "I have a plan. ”
When Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked curiously, "What plan?"
So Xu Xian told him the method in the original TV series, filled many medicine bottles with flour in advance, and then sneaked into Wang Daoling's house, replaced the antidote with flour, and made his business yellow.
However, in this life, Xu Xian did not open a pharmacy security hall in Suzhou Mansion, so there was no way to take this opportunity to make a name for himself. But it doesn't matter, the current Xu Xian is not a doctor, and he is not bad at this reputation, so when the time comes, he will just distribute the stolen antidote to the people for free.
"Okay, good, this method is good! Leave it to me!" Xiaoqing clapped her hands and praised after hearing this, very excited.
There is no danger or taboo in this operation, and Xu Xian will not have a gun, so it is better for Xiaoqing to go.
As for the toad spirit king Daoling, since he let himself run into it again in this life, Xu Xian was not as magnanimous as Bai Suzhen, so he let him go easily.
This toad essence can be said to be bad to the bones, even if he worships in the Maoshan faction and is a member of the famous and decent family, if he is not removed, he will inevitably continue to bring disaster to the world.
When Xiaoqing messed up his business, Xu Xian found an opportunity to get rid of this demon.
