"Brother, we are all scholars, why should we act like a barbarian?"
Several young people walked down from the second floor, each holding a folding fan, wearing the standard white robe for scholars and drooping futou hats. However, the white robes they wore were obviously made of fine brocade.
"We finally came out. I thought they were all cowardly and afraid to come out!"
Sun Lei looked at the people who came down and sneered.
"Brother, foul language is not what we gentlemen should do."
A young man put away his paper fan and looked at Sun Lei with a frown.
"I like to use my fists, so why don't you come down and teach me a few moves?"
Sun Lei raised his fingers at those people and made a provocative gesture.
"you!"
Those people obviously didn't expect that Sun Lei would be so rude and would take action if they disagreed with him. They didn't have the thoughtfulness of a scholar at all.
"What the hell are you, Momojiji, are you a man?"
Sun Lei couldn't be bothered to talk to these dandy, pedantic and sour scholars, so he just wanted to see the real chapter under his fist.
Those people were so excited by Sun Lei that they originally wanted to humiliate Sun Lei by reciting poems, but when Sun Lei made a fuss, he was about to take action, and they couldn't stand up.
"Where does this rude and barbaric man come from? He talks dirty words and only knows how to use fists and kicks!"
Those people said with livid faces.
"You don't want to fight? Then I will fight!"
Sun Lei took a chair and threw it directly towards the stairs where a few people were standing. He moved so quickly that the people were so frightened that they rolled down the stairs.
"Nothing can play tricks on me!"
Sun Lei spat and led the people to the backyard.
This rude scene silenced the front hall of Zhuangyuan Building. This was a place where literati from all over the world gathered. Fighting had always been limited to dancing and writing. This was the first time that someone had fought.
"Where did this person come from? Did he really take part in the literary competition? It looks like he took part in the martial arts competition!"
Everyone started whispering.
The faces of several scholars who were knocked upside down in the hall turned red, and they ran out of the No. 1 Scholar Building in shame and anger.
"What's wrong with these guys? Do they insist on taking over Tianzi No. 5 Courtyard?"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked, Shi Qian decided on the courtyard, so Shi Qian must know something.
"Brother, the top scorer in the last subject is called He Wenzhen. He is from Xianjing in the middle of Sichuan. He was the top scorer in Yiwei Section in the fifth year of Zhenghe. Before the examination, he lived in No. 5 Courtyard, Tianzi Building, Zhuangyuan Building."
Shi Qian said with a smile.
"Why did you arrange this courtyard for me, brother?"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, isn't this just in line with my status? I think those champions are not worth mentioning in front of my brother. What's more, Courtyard No. 5 is the most scenic courtyard in the champion building."
Shi Qian said with a smile.
"You are the only one who is smart!"
Sun Lei burst out laughing.
"Sir, this is Tianzi Courtyard No. 5!"
The boy who led the way held the wooden sign in both hands and said.
"Go down, you don't need to wait here!"
Shi Qian took the wooden sign and threw a small piece of silver over it and asked the boy to leave.
"Yes, it is indeed a quiet courtyard."
Sun Lei was attracted by the scenery as soon as he entered the courtyard. This scholar knows how to enjoy it. This garden is no less beautiful than Jiangnan.
"Brother, there are more than just these views. Look at the attic. Last year, you could overlook the Imperial College and Imperial College across the Cai River."
Shi Qian pointed to an attic in the south of the courtyard and said.
"What's there to see? Can you see the East Jiaofang Si, the West Jiaofang Si, and the Xinmen Tilezi above?"
Sun Lei was not interested in the Imperial College or the Imperial College. If he went to take the imperial examination, he would probably only be able to teach the exam papers and read them in vain.
"Brother, you can't see it, but you can just walk a few steps along the Cai River after leaving the Zhuangyuan Building, and it's right next to the Longjin Bridge!"
Shi Qian chuckled.
Everyone settled down in Courtyard No. 5 of Tianzi. At midnight, Ma Lin, Lehe, Cao Zheng, Sister Gu, Sun Xin, Shi Xiu, Wang Dingliu, Zhang San, and Li Si all arrived in the small courtyard.
"Meet you brother!"
Everyone bowed to Sun Lei.
"Everyone, get up! Have you found any traces of Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing?"
Sun Lei looked at everyone with a smile and said.
"Brother, all the spies in the city have spread out, and they haven't been discovered at all."
Zhang San and Li Si opened their mouths and said, they already have a lot of gangsters under their command, but the city of Tokyo is too big, and it is almost the Chinese New Year, and people are pouring into Tokyo city, so it is really difficult to find people.
"Don't just look at the inner city. If my guess is correct, those people should find a place to hide in the outer city."
Sun Lei looked at Zhang San and Li Sidao.
"Yes, brother!"
Zhang San and Li Si saluted quickly.
"Don't be so nervous. It doesn't matter whether you can find him or not. The main thing this time is to get information about Tokyo."
Sun Lei looked at Ma Lin, Lehe and Cao Zheng.
"Brother, there are differences in the court now. Tong Guan advocates uniting with the Jurchens to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Gao Qiu and Yang Jian are pestering the emperor to send troops to Liangshanbo. Cai Jing is ambiguous now and has not expressed his position yet."
Ma Lin looked at Sun Lei and cupped his fists.
Tong Guan wanted to use the rise of the Jurchens to destroy the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun, and accomplish an immortal feat. Gao Qiu did it for revenge, and Yang Jian did it because Liang Shanbo blocked the expansion of Xicheng. Cai Jing is waiting for an exchange of benefits. An old thief like him will not express his position easily without enough benefits.
"Where are the civil servants?"
Sun Lei asked, the most people in the imperial court were civil servants, and they also had the most say.
"The civil servants are even more divided. There are many who say: Zhao'an, those who unite with Jin to destroy Liao, those who unite with Liao to destroy Jin, and those who watch the fire from the other side. Some even say to attack Xixia first."
Lehe said, compared to the military attachés fighting for their own interests, the civil service group was more torn apart and thought of everything.
"I heard that Cai Jing transferred Song Jiang's people back to Tokyo. When will they arrive?"
Sun Lei asked again.
"Brother, I know this. In the past few days, the Cai Mansion has ordered a lot of beef, sheep, fresh fish and vegetables."
Cao Zheng said, now he not only opened a small hotel, but also started his old business and opened a butcher shop. Because of his good knife skills and good cuts of meat, he was very popular among high-ranking officials.
"In the last battle of Gaotang Prefecture, the Daming Prefecture troops withdrew directly, resulting in the destruction of Gaotang Prefecture and the death of Gao Lian. This time Cai Jing must have some plot to recall Song Jiang and others to Tokyo. Please pay attention."
Sun Lei looked at Ma Lin and Lehe and said.
"Yes, brother!"
The two of them cupped their fists.
To the west of Tokyo City, outside the outer city and Shuntianmen (Xinzheng Gate), there is Jinmyeongchi.
"It's better to go to Tokyo! I, Wang Qing, am back!"
Wang Qing laughed and looked at the flower boats with colorful lanterns and singing songs on Jinming Pond. He used to be a master of eating, drinking and having fun in Tokyo, and he used to come to Jinming Pond often.
In the outer city, outside Anyuan Gate (Fengqiu Gate), there is Kaibao Temple.
Fang La looked at the temple with numerous pagodas in front of him and walked in with a smile.
"Welcome to the Holy Duke!"
Kaibao Temple has closed its doors today, but the monks in the temple lined up to welcome Fang La. The monks in Kaibao Temple have surrendered to Mingjiao and accepted the teachings of Mingjiao.
Tokyo Outer City, northeast, City God Temple.
"This Tokyo is interesting, it will all be ours from now on!"
Tian Hu pointed at the brightly lit inner city in the distance and smiled and said, Hebei is very barren and cannot be as prosperous as Tokyo.
