Early in the morning, all kinds of people crowded outside the examination room of Jixia Academy.
The autumn period, which is held every three years, includes the examination for children and the examination for candidates.
The two are almost connected, except that those who participated in the examination were children from all over the country.
Therefore, the big families in various prefectures are paying more attention to the second month's imperial examination.
But even so, many people still pay attention to Tong Sheng Examination, who is qualified to be on the list of candidates for the examination.
Number One Scholar Pavilion.
Several friendly-looking men looked at the crowded crowd in front of them with smiles, feeling a little irritated.
Although they look like good guys, they are actually more ruthless than many people, and they are the real core figures of the Three Red Gang.
"Boss, I don't understand why you brought a few of us out but didn't bring Huzi and the others!"
"With the faces of Huzi and the youngest, few of these people would dare to come close to this station!"
While he was talking, a poor old man accidentally stepped on him. Before he could look over, the other person had already cursed.
This man was angry, and just as he was about to show his fierce look, the person behind him already apologized.
"Sorry, father-in-law!" Liang Yun quickly calmed down as he watched the man walk away, and said to the men around him: "The inside of the city is no better than the outside. If you show off your power here, you will easily get into trouble. !”
"Look over there-"
Several other people looked over and suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
In the Number One Scholar Pavilion, there were originally some wealthy families, both big and small. Their families had some money or skills, but compared with the real noble families, they couldn't stand out.
However, even so, people like them do not dare to offend each other easily, and are even extremely afraid of it.
Taizu Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty was the emperor on horseback and had great martial arts. Hundreds of years have passed since then.
Although these two generations of emperors focused on literary style, the martial style that had lasted for dozens of generations was not something that one or two generations could easily abandon.
Therefore, all large households will hire some warriors to serve as guardians.
Like the Xun family, in addition to reading and writing and gaining fame, descendants also need to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and consolidate their Qi and consolidate their marrow.
Even if those at the bottom dared to risk their lives, it would be difficult to cause any harm to such a behemoth.
If you use your power to suppress others, if you meet an ordinary person, you can still get blood splattered within five steps.
But when the powerful also have the power of force, the ordinary man can only be an ordinary man!
Therefore, for those at the bottom, power is certainly terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is force.
Like the Sanhong Gang, they are afraid of officials, but they are even more afraid of big gangs.
At this moment, in the Number One Scholar Pavilion, there appeared some people whose aura was completely different from that of many wealthy families.
Although there is a lot of restraint between the eyebrows, some unscrupulousness can still be seen.
"How dare these gangs come to Zhuangyuan Pavilion?"
Master Zhao exclaimed in a low voice.
Gangs and big businessmen are closely connected, but because big businessmen need to take into account their reputation, they are seemingly incompatible with the gangs.
In the past, people like the Nujiang Gang had appeared outside the examination room, but they had always kept a low profile for fear of being seen by the nobles. However, it was extremely rare for them to appear openly like this.
"I guess it has something to do with the situation in Chishui County!" Liang Yun thought for a while and said.
Master Zhao and others were shocked, showing a hint of disbelief.
"However, although the Great Yuan is riddled with holes, the centipede insects are still alive. There are many like Xu Yuan, so the Great Yuan will not end so easily!" Liang Yun said, with a trace of sadness on his face.
It is not a problem that the original Yuan Kingdom could last for tens or even hundreds of years, but in the past two years there has been a severe drought and wars broke out in various places. Those capable ministers can extend the Yuan Kingdom for a few more years, or even decades. What about the future?
He, Liang Yun, is not like other desperadoes. He only cares about the present and does not care about the future. He came out of that remote village in order to continue his glory and wealth, build a family fortune for future generations, and let his bloodline become a master.
If the foundation cannot be laid before the collapse of Dayuan, the future will be unpredictable.
Thinking of this, he looked at the solemn examination room. At the entrance, two stone lions had bulging eyeballs, as if staring at him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
At the beginning, he also wanted to take the imperial examination route, but some things were beyond what people could imagine.
At this moment, a person came in a hurry, ignoring the crowded crowd, and squeezed closer.
"It's not good, help-brother! It's not good!"
The person who arrived subconsciously wanted to call him 'gang leader', but Liang Yun glared at him and immediately took it back and turned into a big brother.
"What's the matter, so panicked?" Liang Yun's heart jumped slightly, and he thought about many recent things in his mind, but he didn't find anything wrong.
The person in front of me was the person who stayed outside the west gate. If he ran over in such a panic at this time, something bad must have happened.
Unexpectedly, the next words made him stunned for a moment.
"That King Black Monkey was captured!"
"Who did it?" Liang Yun's face changed slightly, but he remembered that he had told him not to touch the people in that courtyard for the time being. He would wait until Qiu Weitong's birth test was over.
"It's the Plane Gang from Nanmen!"
Liang Yun frowned, but at this moment, he only heard a low cry in front of him, and then, the crowd seemed to be choked by fate, and fell into silence for an instant.
A small official wearing a green soap robe came out holding a volume.
He inspected the surroundings, then walked up to a high position in front of the Zhuangyuan Pavilion with his head held high, unfolded the volume and sang.
First, they quoted scriptures, sang about the achievements of the imperial examinations and the prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty, and then came the teachings of various ancestors.
Finally, is the list of children who have passed the exam that everyone is most concerned about.
"This time, a total of 186 children were admitted to the Heishan Prefecture. The list is as follows -"
"Fu Yunchang, 28 years old, from the neighboring county on the left!"
"Liu Yuming, 49 years old, from Dayun Township, Gaofang County!"
······
As the little official sang, some people in the crowd could not suppress their joy and excitement from time to time, howling and crying, while some people rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.
Three years after another, how many three years are there in life? For the sake of a child, I don’t know how many people have devoted themselves to it with passion since they can remember.
It's easy to say if you succeed, but for those who don't succeed, seeing this scene, I'm afraid it will be another round of heavy blows.
Lu Changsheng stood behind the crowd and looked at the crumbling old man in front of him.
The Imperial Examinations of the Dayuan Dynasty clearly stated that one cannot participate in any imperial examinations after sixty years of age. Looking at the other party's gray hair, he was afraid that this time would be the last time.
"Old man!"
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer names in the chant, the old man's body swayed more and more.
In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and went directly to Lu Changsheng.
He quickly supported the old man with quick eyes and hands, and saw that the other man's face was as silver as paper, his lips were colorless, and he looked completely lost.
"It's not in the way~ It's not in the way~ Thank you little brother!" He murmured, struggled to stand up, and walked away step by step like a body that had lost its soul.
Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, but at this time, there were not many names left on the list. His name hadn't been sung yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
finally--
"Lu Erdan, 12 years old, from Dayu Township, Fushui County!"
Lu Changsheng and Li Gugua were both stunned.
In the past two years, everyone has called Lu Changsheng "Chang Sheng", but they suddenly forgot that Lu Changsheng's real name is Lu Erdan!
"I won, immortality!" Li Guangquan said excitedly.
