Qin Bai told Huamanlou what happened in the Gongyuan and his speculations.
I thought it would be enough to rely on the master of Huajin to find the traces of the demon, but after several days there was no clue.
The examination had arrived unknowingly, and hundreds of people went to the scientific examination venue. The scene was truly spectacular.
However, there were not many residents watching the excitement. After all, the capital was the capital of the Song Dynasty and had long been accustomed to the imperial examinations held every three years. The crowd around them were mainly relatives and young scholars.
The joint examination is similar to the provincial examination and is held in three sessions, one every three days, with one day between each session.
After each exam, candidates can choose to live in Gongyuan or go out for a short rest.
The subjects of the examination are four calligraphy prose, five character and eight rhyme poems, five scriptures and policy questions. Generally speaking, after the results of the examination are announced, the successful candidates will take the palace examination next month.
Although it is a temporary examination room, it is not inferior in scale, and nearby residents have also been temporarily vacated and moved to other places.
Perhaps because of the involvement of demons, and also because of the gangsters who broke into Gongyuan a few days ago, there were an unusually large number of officers and soldiers patrolling this time.
Candidates queued up at the door to verify their identities. The order was quite orderly, but the atmosphere felt vaguely oppressive.
Geng Yu was in the middle of the queue, while Ning Caichen and Zhang Zizhi were farther back.
The team advanced slowly, and Geng Yu turned his head to look at the direction of the crowd from time to time. For some reason, Qin Bai hadn't come yet.
Originally, they wanted to wait until the other person arrived before going in, but maybe everyone was assigned to a different examination room, so the three of them chose to enter.
Just when Geng Yu thought Qin Bai had forgotten all about Hui Xue, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, followed by the sound of neat footsteps.
The crowd parted cleanly, faint exclamations could be heard, and the sky was already covered with dark clouds.
Qin Bai walked at the front of the team, followed by the Young and Dangerous boys, and the surrounding crowd did not dare to approach.
"Everyone, please leave, Deyun Club will open soon." Qin Bai took a puff of cigarette, his face was shrouded in smoke, and he had a bit of the temperament of a gangster brother.
Chen Jinwen nodded and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Qin, let's go first."
The young and Dangerous boy left immediately, and those who were in charge felt frightened in their hearts, wondering who could be in such a state of affairs.
Qin Bai came to the end of the team, and in front of him was a young man in his early twenties.
The pressure brought by the two-meter strong man was extremely strong, as if there was a tiger staring at him from behind. Even though he pretended to be calm, his back was still soaked with cold sweat.
After hesitating for a moment, the young student withdrew from the queue, and then consciously lined up behind Qin Bai, so that he felt better.
Qin Bai glanced at Ning Caichen who was not far away. Not only did his aura not subside, but it intensified.
This made the scholars in front of him unable to bear the pressure and left the team one by one.
As a result, the team rushed to the back, with Qin Bai's position getting closer and closer to the front.
Within a moment, he had arrived behind Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen was considering leaving the team, when Qin Bai's hands fell directly on his shoulders.
Qin Bai whispered: "Be careful during the test. No matter who they are, don't let them enter the private room."
Ning Caichen opened his mouth wide. What does this mean? You came here specifically to mess with my mentality. Then Qin Bai stuffed some paper into his hand.
He looked down and saw a piece of yellow paper covered with spells. If he stared at it for a long time, his eyes would sting slightly.
"What's going on? Is there a demon?"
Ning Caichen couldn't help but ask, but Qin Bai just shook his head without explaining, and then pulled him from in front of him to behind him.
Qin Bai's aura spread out again, and Ju Ren, who was in front of him, naturally couldn't bear it and chose to retreat and leave the team after a while.
Relying on this method, he moved further and further forward in the team, and soon he was behind Zhang Zizhi.
As before, Qin Bai handed the talisman to the other party and reminded him, then continued to move forward until Geng Yu also got the talisman, and then he calmed down his momentum.
If a demon really sneaks into the examination room, he can't guarantee the safety of every candidate, but at least he can't let any accident happen to Ning Caichen and the three of them.
But to the examiner, Qin Bai's behavior was a bit provocative. At first, he formed a clique, and then oppressed others while waiting in line. This is not the behavior of a gentleman.
Geng Xian's eyes twitched. Although he didn't know why Qin Bai was acting like this, he must have a deep meaning, but this was too high-profile.
The fluency test is not a provincial test, this is the capital city, so you are too brave...
Geng Yu chose to turn a blind eye.
He knew Qin Bai was a good person, but the other examiners didn't think so.
Several Confucian examiners in their early thirties looked livid, and the oldest Zhang Li'an among them was gasping with anger.
"Nowadays, the world of scholars in the Song Dynasty has declined. Do you think this is decent?"
After Zhang Li'an finished speaking, he wanted to step forward to teach Qin Bai a lesson, but the latter stretched himself unintentionally, and there was a sound of bones colliding all over his body.
He immediately stopped walking, but he still said reluctantly: "I don't know who this person's mentor is, he is extremely barbaric."
Geng Xian had a look of displeasure on his face, and he couldn't help but say: "The other party didn't verbally threaten the others. Those scholars were just afraid of him, so they gave up their positions. What's the crime?"
"you……"
Zhang Li'an's face turned red. He pointed at Geng Xian and entered the examination room with a final flick of his sleeves.
Several examiners looked at each other in confusion. At this time, Geng Xian seemed to be muttering to himself unintentionally: "This Qin Bai is Wei Lianzhang's disciple. It's normal to be a little special."
The more tactful examiner among them reacted: "It turns out he is Mr. Wei's disciple. In fact, he did not violate the rules. Nothing happened."
The other people echoed, and the atmosphere actually relaxed.
In addition to being the second-rank governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wei Lianzhang was also the one who supported Zhao Ji when he succeeded to the throne, and he was regarded as the emperor's confidant.
There is now a saying in the court that when Grand Prime Minister Cai retires, Wei Lianzhang will join the cabinet. When he becomes powerful, the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven, and his disciples will naturally have a bright future.
When it was Qin Bai's turn to check the election documents, the examiner had a very good attitude after seeing Wei Lianzhang's official seal on it, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Thinking about the last provincial examination, the officers and soldiers wanted to imprison him as a prisoner, but now they even asked him for help.
Qin Bai touched his chin and thought for a long time but couldn't find an answer.
The reason can only be attributed to the fact that as one's realm improves, one unconsciously has a temperament that makes people admire him.
After he sat down, the private room was also in a good location by the window and some distance from the toilet. It was the right time and the right place.
The only pity was that he and Geng Yuzhang were not in the same examination room. Fortunately, Ning Caichen was in a private room not far away.
