Late at night, Tianxian Tower.
As the most famous brothel in the inner city of Mocheng, the business here is naturally very hot every night.
Usually when it gets dark, the lights here are bright, and in front of the door and upstairs, there are women wearing tulle and wearing colorful flowers, twisting their waists to attract customers.
But today is the imperial examination period.
After dark, the exterior lights of Tianxian Tower were not turned on.
At the same time, there were no enchanting women twisting and making noises in front of the door and upstairs.
The entire Tianxian Tower was quiet and quiet.
But being quiet doesn’t mean not picking up customers.
Familiar customers had already come here before dark and curfew, went in to drink and watch the show.
Prince Meng of the City Lord's Mansion is one of them.
On the stage, there were oirans playing the piano, entertainers dancing, and singers showing off their voices, singing the most famous "Shui Tiao Song Tou" in Namo City.
Meng Xianxing held the beauty in his arms, eating melon seeds and watching them drunkenly.
Not long after, he was aroused by the beauty in his arms. He immediately stood up and hugged her upstairs. He chuckled and said: "Little Lian'er, your sister Ziyun has a good singing voice. You can also give me some singing later." Young Master, how about a ventriloquism show?"
Little Lian'er was immediately shy and timid: "Master, I don't know how to do that."
Which woman can live in a brothel, who can't? Who can't understand this? As she spoke, her soft body was still twisting in his arms.
Meng Xianxian smiled obscenely, grabbed her little hand and said, "It's okay, my brother will teach you later."
The two fell in love upstairs and entered the room.
Two guards followed and stopped at the door, holding the hilts of knives at their waists, guarding one on the left and the other on the right.
Not long after, Meng Xianxing's comfortable voice came from inside.
The two guards at the door looked at each other and shook their heads.
"ah--"
After a while, a woman's scream suddenly came from inside.
The two guards at the door looked at each other again, and when they were about to joke in a low voice, they suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
The two people's expressions suddenly changed. They hurriedly turned around, kicked open the door with a kick, and rushed in!
The light in the room was bright, and the woman was sitting naked on the ground beside the bed, trembling all over, her face was pale, and she could not speak.
On the bed, Mr. Meng's head was missing, the jade pendant on his chest was broken, and blood was still spurting from his neck.
The two guards were so frightened that they hurriedly held the drawn knives and searched around the room.
But there was no one else in the room.
Luo Qingzhou killed someone, left Tianxian Road, and first went to the sky above Gongyuan. He looked down at the compartment where his body was. After seeing nothing unusual, he flew back to Qin Mansion and put down his things.
When he was going to Yuanyang Tower for a stroll, his heart suddenly moved and he decided to go to Chengguo Mansion first.
Let's explore the road first and see what's going on.
Not long after, he had flown over Chengguo Mansion and looked at the two orb magic weapons on the eaves of the roof.
He immediately used the Qi-condensing technique taught to him by Sister Yue, and slowly approached from above.
Until they were only five meters away, there was still no reaction from the two beads.
He was relieved, but he didn't land immediately.
It is still very dangerous to go down directly like this, and there might be warriors hiding in the dark, waiting.
He flew to the streets and alleys outside, looking around, and suddenly found a wild cat with pitch black fur.
Now that he has been promoted to the middle stage of the God Refining Realm, as long as his soul power is sufficient, there is no problem in possessing him multiple times in one day.
In the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
"Meow……"
A small wild cat with brown fur barked on the courtyard wall, and then jumped down into the courtyard.
Before he hit the ground, his body suddenly split into two halves.
A figure walked out of the shadow of the eaves, looked down, picked up the two halves of the body, and threw them out.
The figure had gray hair and a slightly stooped body. She was actually an old nanny.
Another small courtyard was quiet.
The room was dark.
On the crossbeam, two white silk threads tied into a tight knot hang.
The mother and daughter stood below, hugging each other and talking softly.
"Xiaolou, are you afraid?"
"Mother, Xiaolou is not afraid... As long as he can be with mother, Xiaolou is not afraid at all..."
"Xiaolou, I'm sorry...my mother is useless, I can't protect you..."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After a while, mother and daughter trembled and got on the stool. Yang Ping'er picked her up with tears on her face, hung her on the white silk fabric herself, and cried: "Xiaolou, in the next life, don't be a mother again." My dear daughter..."
After saying that, before the little girl could reply, she had already lost her hand.
The little girl's eyes widened and she fell vertically, but she didn't struggle.
Yang Ping'er couldn't bear to witness it and got on another stool.
Immediately, the stool fell to the ground, and the mother and daughter were hanging there together...
The night was dark and dead.
"Whoosh!"
A wild cat with jet-black fur suddenly jumped out of the window, then jumped onto the table next to it, and then jumped onto the beam with a sudden leap.
It quickly flew over the little girl's head, and its sharp teeth instantly penetrated Bai Ling. With a "chi" sound, it shook its head and began to bite quickly.
"Snapped!"
The little girl fell to the ground.
She turned pale, breathed hard, covered her neck, raised her head, and looked at the pair of black wildcats on the beam that glowed fluorescently in the dark.
The wild cat began to bite another white silk quickly.
Yang Ping'er's eyes widened and her legs began to kick weakly.
"Snapped!"
She also fell down and sat on the ground.
After a while, she breathed heavily, raised her head, and looked at the beam.
The expressions on the mother and daughter's faces ranged from confusion to shock, and then to fear.
On the beam, the wild cat with dark fur stood there with a pair of cold eyes, looking down at them.
"Meow--"
The little wild cat meowed softly.
Mother and daughter trembled, hugged each other, raised their heads, and looked at him tremblingly.
Luo Xiaolou said tremblingly: "Mother, Maomao won't let us die..."
Yang Ping'er's face was filled with tears, and she hugged her tightly and said: "But we have no other way to go... Mother can't just watch you fall into the tiger's mouth, that beast will bully you, wuwu... "
Luo Xiaolou helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Mom, let's run away. Let's go find brother Qingzhou, okay? When brother Qingzhou wins the imperial examination, he won't be afraid of them anymore..."
Yang Ping'er cried and said: "Xiaolou, we are the Luo family. Even if Qingzhou is elected, he can't care about the affairs of the Luo family. It's all my mother's fault. Back then... Qingzhou's mother was killed by them. Mother should have known that you couldn’t stay here any longer, and mother should have taken you away at that time..."
"Mother..."
Luo Xiaolou said with tears: "Otherwise, let Xiaolou go. After Xiaolou is married, my mother will find a way to escape..."
"no no!"
Yang Ping'er hugged her tightly and cried loudly: "Mom would rather die than let that beast hurt you..."
The little wild cat squatted on the beam and watched this scene silently.
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Immediately, a maid's voice came: "Second Madam, get up quickly! By Madam's order, we are taking Miss Xiaolou away."
When the mother and daughter heard this, they immediately stood up.
Yang Ping'er held her daughter tightly in her arms and begged outside with a trembling voice: "Let Xiaolou sleep with me for one night. I beg you."
The maid outside shouted impatiently: "Open the door quickly. Do you dare to disobey Madam's order? If you don't open the door, we will break down the door!"
Yang Ping was afraid that they would find Bai Ling, so she took her daughter out of the room crying, and said to the maid outside the door: "Where are you going to take my little building? Please, don't hurt her..."
"boom!"
The maid outside the door said no more nonsense, kicked the door open suddenly, rushed in like a wolf, snatched the little girl out of her arms, and dragged her away.
Yang Ping'er cried and rushed forward to snatch it back, but was stopped by the other two maids.
"I don't know what's wrong!"
The maid holding Luo Xiaolou gave a cold shout and immediately took Luo Xiaolou away.
When the other two maids saw them leaving the door, they let go of the crying Yang Ping'er.
One of the maids seemed a little soft-hearted and whispered: "Second Madam, Madam just received the news that Mr. Meng of Chengguo Mansion was suddenly killed in the brothel. Xiaolou should be fine..."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Ping'er's crying stopped abruptly.
"You talk so much, be careful if the madam cuts off your tongue!"
Another maid immediately warned.
The soft-hearted maid's expression suddenly changed, and she hurried away without daring to say anything more.
The two maids quickly walked out of the door and disappeared.
Yang Ping'er's face was filled with tears, and she stood blankly at the door. After being stunned for a long time, Fang murmured: "That beast... is dead? Was it killed?"
The little wild cat on the roof beam had already swooped out of the window and followed the three maids leisurely.
Luo Xiaolou was locked up alone in another small courtyard.
Three maids guarded it.
The little wild cat jumped on the roof, uncovered the tiles, and jumped into the room from the beams.
Luo Xiaolou was wearing a red dress and was sitting in the corner of the bed holding her knees, silently shedding tears.
Three maids stood in the corridor outside the door, chatting in low voices.
The little wild cat jumped onto the bed soundlessly.
When Luo Xiaolou saw it, he trembled with fright, opened his eyes wide, and looked at it with tears in his eyes.
The little wild cat had gentle eyes and slowly approached her. His amber eyes met hers, signaling her not to be afraid.
Luo Xiaolou seemed to feel its kindness, and slowly stretched out his hand, picked it up, and then held it in his arms. He kissed its head, with tears in his eyes, and said into its ear: "Mao Mao, thank you. You...thank you for saving me and my mother..."
The little wild cat stretched out its soft paws, caressed her little face slowly, and helped her wipe the tears on her cheeks.
Luo Xiaolou opened his eyes wide and stared at it blankly.
The little wild cat hesitated for a moment, then gently scratched her palm with his paw and wrote on it.
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine."
I wrote it several times.
Luo Xiaolou finally saw it clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he trembled: "You...you..."
The little wild cat didn't stay any longer, and immediately jumped out of her arms, jumped a few times, and jumped onto the beam above her head.
Then, he jumped from the beam to the roof.
After observing on the roof for a while, his eyes fell on the courtyard where the eldest lady lived and the courtyard where Luo Yu lived.
Both places were illuminated by a very rich blood light, like flames burning, and they were obviously guarded by master warriors.
He didn't dare to run around anymore. He left Chengguo Mansion and ran along the corner of the street towards Gongyuan.
The physical body is too far away and no one is watching, so my heart is always uneasy.
Not long after, I arrived at the Gongyuan examination room.
Sticking to the corner, he looked around and listened for a while, then jumped up to the courtyard wall and then jumped down quietly.
Walking along the corner of the wall, avoiding the night patrols, he quickly got into the compartment where the physical body was.
Immediately, his soul returned to his body.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The little black cat froze in the cubicle for a while, then quickly jumped out and jumped onto the courtyard wall. He was seen by several guards, and then jumped out.
The two guards quickly chased out, observed for a while, and returned after seeing nothing unusual.
Luo Qingzhou fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, the third exam began.
At this time, many candidates couldn't hold on any longer. They held their last breath and began to do the questions seriously.
The test papers were handed out.
Luo Qingzhou studied ink quietly. After a while, he looked at the first question.
It is still the content recited in the book.
Then, give a sentence and write an argument based on current affairs, at least 300 words.
After Luo Qingzhou finished writing, he looked at the next question.
This question suddenly made his heart skip a beat.
"What do you think of the current debate in the imperial court regarding Dayan's hereditary title? Who is right and who is wrong? Express your opinion truthfully, at least 500 words."
Luo Qingzhou looked at this question and pondered for a long time, then dipped his pen in ink and answered it truthfully.
He had also discussed this topic with the eldest princess and the second young lady.
Most families with titles are those who have made meritorious deeds, and this is what they deserve.
It is precisely because of this title that countless people have served the country and the people without fear of sacrifice.
Didn't Li Guang fight to kill the enemy just because he wanted to become a marquis?
However, after three generations of hereditary inheritance, if the descendants only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and waste the national salary in vain, naturally it should not be done.
Only if at least one member of the family shows his value to the country can he continue to enjoy the original title and salary.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of people doing nothing but doing nothing, only enjoying themselves but not doing anything, and the country will be doomed sooner or later.
This topic is a sensitive one right now.
The eldest princess is on one side, and the other court ministers, princes, and nobles are on the other side.
What the eldest princess proposes is not to directly abolish hereditary titles, but to abolish those family titles that have been hereditary for three generations but no one in the family has the ability to contribute to the country and the people.
So Luo Qingzhou actually supports it.
However, he also knows that there are very few people in the court who support the eldest princess, and most of them are against it, otherwise this policy will not be difficult to carry out.
Luo Qingzhou didn't shy away from anything, he told the truth and answered it quickly.
The next question is "How to increase the population of a county without reducing taxes?"
Luo Qingzhou had seen this question too much in his previous life, and after pondering for a while, he answered it.
Encourage farmers and businesses, develop the economy, and utilize various local resource trades so that people have something to do, food to eat, and a place to live. At the same time, we crack down on various crimes and allow people in the jurisdiction to live and work in peace and contentment.
When people's living conditions are improved and their burdens are reduced, they will naturally be happy to have children. At the same time, when people from neighboring counties and states see this, they will naturally flock to settle here...
Luo Qingzhou quickly wrote a long article eloquently.
The last question is to write an article in parallel prose format to express one's ambitions.
There is no limit on content and word count.
Parallel prose is a literary style that every reader knows. It uses words and sentences that are opposite each other to form a chapter. The whole text pays attention to the neatness of the opposition and the sonorous rhythm of the rhythm.
Luo Qingzhou searched his mind carefully before he finally settled down.
After thinking silently for a while, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote: "The mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous. The water is not deep, if there are dragons, there will be spirits. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous..."
After answering all the questions, it was already afternoon.
He checked it carefully several times, and Fang sat quietly, waiting for the roll to be collected.
The collection time is relatively early today.
In the evening, the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.
When the test papers were put away one by one, Luo Qingzhou clearly heard various sounds coming from various compartments.
There were sounds of crying, chest-beating, slapping oneself, and triumphant laughter.
Luo Qingzhou put away his things, left the compartment, and prepared to walk out.
Outside the Gongyuan, many parents and relatives of the candidates had already gathered, waiting eagerly.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and then turned back.
When the other candidates were almost gone, he slowly walked outside.
At this time, not only the people from the Qin Mansion were anxiously waiting for him outside, but the servants from the Chengguo Mansion were also watching in the crowd.
Luo Qingzhou staggered, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
Song Ruyue, who was staring closely at the door in the crowd, was startled and said hurriedly: "Quick! Go and help me up!"
The maids and servants all rushed to the door.
But just after running a few steps, Luo Qingzhou, who was lying on the ground, was already being carried on the back of a slender figure wearing a light green dress.
She held the sword, her pretty face was cold, and no one dared to approach her.
Xiaodie and Qiu'er ran over and followed her.
Song Ruyue immediately led them to the carriage.
Not long after.
Wang, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion, got the news.
"The boy just left the examination room and vomited blood and fainted. He was carried back... He looked very ill..."
Wang Cheng added: "Looking at the situation, that kid has been sick for a long time in there. It is estimated that he failed to solve a few of those questions and will definitely fail this time..."
Wang's face was solemn, she took a sip of tea and said, "Will the results be released the day after tomorrow?"
Wang Chengdao: "Yes."
Wang didn't speak any more.
Wang Cheng glanced at her, bowed and retreated.
Wang sat in the hall for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go and see how Yu'er is doing. There are still two days left, Yu'er should be able to calm down."
An old nanny and a strong maid walked out of the corridor, following her silently.
Luo Qingzhou was carried back to the Qin Mansion by Xia Chan.
As soon as he entered the house, he took the opportunity to bite the girl's ear and whispered: "Chanchan, don't worry, I'm just pretending."
