Chunxu was very unconvinced when he was kicked out, but he couldn't be angry. After all, there really weren't any exam questions in this building.
Chunxu put one hand on the large and small piles of goods on the side, and clenched his fist tightly with the other hand, really wanting to find the boy just now to have a big fight.
Just when Chunxu was about to give up looking for a place that sells test questions, a hand stretched out from nowhere and placed on Chunxu's shoulder.
Sun Chunxu, who was usually very vigilant, reached back and grabbed his hand tightly, almost spinning it 360 degrees.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Hearing the words of the man in front of him, Chunxu lowered his strength and asked the man in confusion: "What do you want to do?"
Looking at someone who was so good at martial arts, the man became wary: "What do you want to do again?"
"What do you think?"
"Buy test questions?" the man asked.
Looking at such a thin man, wearing clothes that did not look like a poor commoner, I started to doubt his identity: "Who are you?"
"Then tell me first who you are?"
"Are you from the government?" Chunxu cautiously probed.
The man shook his head and looked at Chunxu's face with a childish face, but he couldn't see his true face. Besides, his face was covered with a black cloth, so who could see clearly.
"Are you from the government?"
Seeing that the man in front of him was so wary, it seemed that he was not from the government, so Chunxu lowered his wariness a bit.
Chunxu shook his head: "Are you?"
The man shook his head together, but he still felt guilty. After all, it was a serious crime to sell the same test questions as he did on the test, and he wanted to save his head.
"Do you want to check the test questions or buy the test questions?" The man cautiously probed.
"purchase."
"Really buy it?" the man asked again.
"Really bought it."
"What are you buying the test questions for?" the man asked again.
"What do you think? You didn't see me coming out of that flower house just now." Chunxu was still complaining about this.
Seeing that the man in front of him looked like he really bought it, the man just said: "Okay, come with me."
"where to?"
Perhaps because he had just been deceived by the little boy, Chunxu became more and more wary, even carefully confirming the words of the strange man.
"What do you think?" The man imitated Chunxu's words.
It seemed that he was right now, so Chunxu followed the man with confidence.
After walking through a few streets and passing through a few small alleys, we finally arrived at the place.
Seeing as the location is getting more and more remote, that should be it.
The man stepped forward, took out the key, and opened the small door.
He opened the door, looked at Chunxu who was a little wary behind him, and said, "Let's go."
Following the man's footsteps, he walked into the house.
Once inside, it didn't look very big. There were firewood discarded around it, and a dog was tied to the firewood by an iron chain.
When Chunxu saw this dog, his first thought was not what breed it was, but why the owner kept such a dog.
Looking at the figure of this dog, he is almost the same as Ziyuan. He is taller, with black fur, and the claws on the four feet are also extremely sharp. When he opens his mouth, rows of sharp teeth are flowing. Start salivating.
To be honest, it seemed like this was the first time Chunxu had seen such a dog.
"Please come in."
Following the man's footsteps, he was taken into a room.
There is a landscape painting hanging in this room, and there are two chairs next to an empty wooden table.
"Sir, what you want to buy are the test questions for the last provincial examination?" the man said.
Listening to what the man said, is he talking too much nonsense? The second round of the provincial examination has already started. Who will buy it?
"What do you think?" Chunxu asked.
"Yes, yes." After saying this, the man opened the door of a room and walked in.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the man coming out, holding a copy of the test questions tightly in his hand.
The paper used for this test question is somewhat different from that of the regular test question. The question is written on a piece of light yellow paper, and the paper used for the real test question is somewhat light yellow. Although the color is somewhat similar to the paper used for the regular test question, it is not. As far as the craftsmanship of the Mo Dynasty is concerned, this effect cannot be achieved among the people.
In the palace, there was a Papermaking Department, whose main responsibility was to make good paper. It was staffed by three officials, including one chief officer and two adjutants. The rest were all good papermakers selected from the private sector in the palace.
These made papers were mostly used in various departments of the imperial court, the royal family, and even in scientific examinations held by the country.
It is still difficult for people to use this paper.
Seeing that the man buying test questions in front of him didn't react for a long time, the man said: "What are you doing standing there? Give me money!"
A loud roar from a man brought Sun Chunxu back to his senses.
"How many?"
"Twenty taels." The man did not hesitate.
Upon hearing this, Sun Chunxu was frightened. How could he get so much silver as twenty taels with his own ability.
At this time, the most people who accompanied Ziyuan to the provincial capital were only three or two, and now there are only more than one or two left.
"Twenty taels?" Chunxu was very surprised.
Seeing the surprised look of the man in front of him, the man said impatiently: "Don't you want to buy test questions? You don't even have this little silver, and you still want to buy test questions? It's really weird."
Seeing an important clue right in front of you, but you don't have the money to buy this key clue, how desperate you are.
"Look, I only have one or two points with me now. I'll pay you some first, and I'll borrow some from a nearby bank and give it to you. Do you think... it's okay?" Chunxu looked eager.
"No, you must take out this silver now, otherwise you will never get out of here alive." The man's words were threatening.
But who is Chunxu? Can we be afraid of him?
If it were a one-on-one fight, this man would not overestimate his abilities.
But Chunxu still understands the rules of doing business freely.
Furthermore, why do they dare to do this business test question? Isn’t it just to get rich, to have food and clothing?
Chunxu naturally didn't want to hurt innocent people.
"But I only have this little money with me now. Can't I go to a nearby bank and lend you some? If you're worried, just wait until I get the money together. Are you giving me a test?"
Just when the man was still hesitating, a strange voice shouted from the room next to him.
"Go with him and don't let him play tricks."
Hearing these words, the man who was still hesitating raised his head, looked at Chunxu, and said, "Let's go. If you dare to play tricks, you will be rewarded."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After getting permission, and thinking that the clues would be in my hands immediately, it would be worth spending some money.
As they were walking, they stopped.
I saw a bank standing nearby. On the bank's plaque, it was written softly and clearly - Sun and Moon Bank.
Seeing that they had arrived at the bank, the man reminded him again: "Don't even think about playing tricks."
After saying this, Chunxu walked in with the man beside him.
Seeing someone coming into this bank, the waiter immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "You two gentlemen, are you here to deposit or withdraw money?"
Chunxu shook his head: "Let's borrow money."
"Borrow money?" The waiter confirmed again.
Chunxu nodded again: "Yes, borrow money."
"Sir, how much do you want to borrow?" the waiter asked.
"Twenty taels."
Fortunately, it wasn't a big amount, so the waiter from Sun Moon Bank immediately agreed.
"Okay, gentlemen, wait a moment. Rong Xiao is going to draw up an IOU."
"good."
While the waiter at the bank was drawing up the IOU, the man beside Chunxu didn't say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Chunxu, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"Sir, what is your name?"
Just when Chunxu was about to say his name, the waiter at the bank started talking about the rules of the bank.
"The IOUs from our Sun and Moon Bank are all genuine. Even the name must be genuine. Also, to borrow money, you need to provide a witness and a portrait. Please think carefully." After saying this, the waiter looked at it with a pair of eyes. Looking at the strange guest sitting on the stool in front of him.
Listening to the waiter's words, Chunxu looked at the man selling test questions aside, but said nothing.
"Look what I'm doing? Do you still want to borrow it?" The man selling the test questions asked in confusion.
"Borrow, borrow." After saying this, Chunxu stood up and walked towards the counter of the bank.
"What's your name?"
"Sun Chunxu." Chunxu said truthfully.
However, the waiter was not so eager. Although Chunxu had already said the name, the waiter still couldn't completely believe it.
"What about you?" the waiter asked.
When he saw the man in front of him, he asked himself, which made him a little confused.
"He borrowed it, not me." The man selling the test questions looked puzzled.
Seeing that they had never borrowed money, the waiter had no choice but to explain: "The borrower needs another person to guarantee it. If he runs away one day or fails to repay the money, our Sun and Moon Bank will look for you."
"Looking for me?" said the person selling test questions.
The waiter at Sun Moon Bank nodded.
Good guy, you want to borrow money and ask me to guarantee it. If one day he doesn't pay back the money or runs away, won't it be my turn to pay back the money?
Thinking of this, the man selling test questions hesitated. After all, he was also short of money.
"Do you still want to borrow it?" Chunxu asked him using the words of the man who just sold exam questions.
"What do you think?" said the man selling test questions, and then he mentioned his real name: "He Ergou."
Upon hearing this name, Chunxu laughed at the side.
"What are you laughing at?" He Ergou was a little anxious.
Sometimes, Chunxu feels that he is quite lucky, which can be described in a few words.
A knife stuck in the butt - it opened my eyes.
As soon as He Ergou said this, Chunxu quickly controlled his emotions and looked at the waiter in front of him writing the IOU while holding back a smile.
I wrote the IOU and pressed my fingerprints in triplicate. One copy will be deposited by the Sun and Moon Bank, one copy for the borrower, and one copy for the guarantor.
After all this, we still couldn't borrow money, and we had to ask the painter of Sun and Moon Bank to paint portraits of the two of them, so that they could be easily found when looking for the person who borrowed the money in the future.
Finally, after a series of procedures, the money was borrowed. After getting the test questions, Chunxu did not report the test questions to the government.
First, in order not to affect Ziyuan's last exam, he chose to wait until the provincial exam was over before submitting the purchased exam questions to the government.
