221. Chapter 221 Xuchang Comes Five
The second day of scientific examination is night.
Today is the second day of the scientific examination, and it is also a crucial day to decide whether you are qualified to take the Yuelongmen examination.
As long as you get the results in the exam on the third day, you may be directly promoted to the magistrate of a county, so the scholars who took the exam called the third day "Leaping over the Dragon Gate"!
Although it was already night, countless scholars who took part in the examination were waiting outside the brightly lit school grounds to wait for the results to be posted. Although the exam on the third day was scheduled for the afternoon, it could not stop the scholars from being excited to see the results immediately.
.
"Brother Lang, you are so smart! You even prepared some stools for us! Otherwise, sitting on the ground would be degrading!" Wang Da sat on the stool that Wang Lang got from who knows where, with his legs crossed.
, said happily.
Wang Lang was gnawing on the chicken drumstick he had just bought and had a mouthful of chicken. He had no time to reply. Through the light projected from the school grounds, you could still see the greasy mouth of this guy.
Wang Yu replied on behalf of his boss: "Our boss rented stools from the hotel in front. The boss there was really smart. While we were taking exams, he actually collected more than a thousand stools from the countryside at low prices and resold them at a high price.
Rent it to us! This stool can only be bought from the countryside for one tael of silver at most, but now it costs two taels of silver to rent it to us for one night!"
"The boss not only rents stools! He also rents quilts! Chengji is indeed the largest city in Huce Prefecture, and he can think of all kinds of business tricks! If he can stay here, he can be a small county official,
I'm satisfied!" Wang Yu didn't want to eat the chicken drumsticks, so he pushed the drumsticks handed over by Wang Lang with his hand, stared straight at the school gate, and murmured.
"What a wonderful idea you have! This is the main city where the lord is personally in charge. Although it still has the name of a county town, it is actually a county town! I don't think our Fuping County town in the north is so prosperous! This place is probably all occupied.
Those wealthy gentry families give them a monopoly, don't look at it
We from poor families can take the exam, but our literacy rate is far lower than that of the wealthy gentry! These chicken drumsticks are really good! They are big and fat!" Wang Da took the exam for a day and was hungry, so he grabbed the chicken drumstick that Wang Lang was about to retract.
I grabbed the chicken leg and gnawed it, and kept talking.
Outside the bustling school grounds, students like Wang Da were sitting. They were all surrounded by fellow villagers, chattering and discussing things.
"Boom!"
Just at this moment! There was a sudden and earth-shattering sound, which almost scared Wang Da to death. The chicken leg that he had just taken two bites fell down without even holding it firmly.
"Mom! I'm scared to death. What happened?" Wang Da calmed down, stood up quickly, and looked around. Through the reflection of light inside the school ground, he could only see the crowd outside the school ground boiling with excitement. Everyone was like
He was standing like this, with his head raised, looking around in shock and confusion.
"Brother!" Wang Yu didn't want to look at that. His boss was so frightened by the loud noise that he choked and sat on the spot and screamed "woo woo".
He quickly took the water bag, faced his careless elder brother, and hurriedly rescued him, cursing: "What kind of bad weather is this, such a loud thunder!"
"It's not thunder! Something big has happened!" Wang Da seemed to have seen something strange. He suddenly stepped on the stool and looked condescendingly in the direction of the street.
"So many cavalry..."
"They are not coming to massacre us..."
"How is that possible? That's the Black Tiger Cavalry! My lord's most elite cavalry! How could it possibly come to massacre us? What a riding posture, how majestic!"
…
With the surrounding discussions ringing out, and the sound of horse hooves that resounded throughout the eardrums, Wang Da didn't need to explain. Wang Yu, who was squatting down below and giving Wang Lang a bottle of water while stroking his back, also knew what was happening.
What happened? His heart felt as if he was struck by lightning, and he was stunned. This is the main city of Hu Ce Mansion. Is there a ****?
In the middle of the night, a large group of cavalry was dispatched. Something big must have happened! Fear quietly grew in everyone's mind...
"Huhu!" He rode his horse around the school grounds to Xieguini, the Ku family. Listening to the whistling wind in his ears, he waved his whip wantonly.
Along the way to Xieguini, he could see the panic on the faces of the scholars who were rushing to take the exam. He was filled with joy. This is a world of warriors! How can a scholar pass the exam and become a great master? Look at his temper, he doesn't even have any courage.
!Even if you become a great master, you can only succumb to their warriors!
Tonight, he was going to take action against the greatest master in Chengji! Thinking of raiding Kuman'er's home, he even felt the pleasure of avenging his father! The lord is victorious in every battle, that's a god! He didn't dare to get up
A little bit of thought. As for Ku Man'er, as Zeng Yu's father-in-law, such a big shot had his house confiscated, which gave him a sense of empathy.
This is a glorious era of warriors! Xie Guini sighed all the way, his spirit was extremely high.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The authorized Black Tiger Cavalry arrived outside the Ku family's residence and began to break down the door without any politeness. The skilled cavalry teamed up, carried the shining vertebral object, and crashed into the door of the Ku family's residence, issuing continuous sounds.
Loud banging noise.
Even the small city gates could not withstand the small city-breaking cones. After more than a dozen loud bangs, the door of the Ku family's mansion suddenly shattered into pieces!
The surging cavalry had no obstacle and surged straight in!
After hearing the news, Menzi rushed over. When he saw this scene, his legs were shaking. He dared to shout loudly: "This is Lord Kuman'er's residence! How dare you..."
Before he could finish his words, a bright sword light swung straight in, the huge human head flew up, steaming blood shot out, and the stiff body fell to the ground.
There was a crisp sound, and under the dim light of the death air lamp, one could vaguely see the glittering light of the gold ingot falling out of the dead man's arms.
Perhaps this disciple was worthy of the bribe he received, and his death at the forefront of the resistance was considered a worthy death!
"Quack! You dare to block the road? I will treat you as a rebel!" Xie Guini sheathed his knife, jumped off the horse, and shouted loudly: "According to the Lord's order, the Ku family is suspected of rebellion! All the family members will be captured without mercy! If
Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
"If there is resistance, kill them on the spot!"
"If there is resistance, kill them on the spot!"
The shouting cavalry shouted slogans and waved weapons recklessly, and rushed into the courtyard of the Ku family. Not even two months after the completion of the mansion, the first catastrophe ushered in.
The servants of the Ku family who got up after hearing the news and rushed over looked at this scene in horror, screaming, shouting, and roaring! The servants, who had no sense of control, ran around for fear of being chopped to death by the cavalry that rushed in.
Two pieces, and the whole courtyard suddenly became a mess...
"That's unreasonable!" Kuman'er, who had just hugged his newly married concubine and went to bed not long ago, was still thinking happily in his mind. With his status today, he was so happy in the bridal chamber every night! But he didn't expect it.
When he saw this sudden change and heard the report from the servant who came in a panic, he was so angry that the three Buddhas were born and smoke arose from his orifices!
After putting on his clothes, Kuman'er took his precious dragon-headed crutch and looked furious. Surrounded by several close servants, he was about to rush to the front yard.
Looks like there’s no need to go! When he stepped out of the exclusive courtyard, he found that the military disaster had spread to the backyard. His second concubine, fourth concubine, and fifth concubine were all dragged by the rough soldiers by their hair buns.
With those hearts of his
My dear aunt, her hair was scattered, her clothes were in rags, and her face was covered with bloodstains. She was almost out of shape after being tortured like this. They struggled and cried for mercy, but those hard-hearted soldiers turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
"That's unreasonable! Damn it, how dare you come to my house to cause trouble like this!" Kuman'er pointed at the scene where the concubines were being dragged, and shouted at the frightened trusted servants behind him: "Are you all dead?
Why don’t you go rescue some young ladies!”
"Afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Who dares to do anything to me? I am Zeng Yu's father-in-law! These crazy soldiers! They must have entered the wrong house!" A servant summoned the courage and pulled out his hand.
With a sword in his waist, he pounced forward.
This was a good time to show their loyalty. Since someone took the lead, the servants behind Kuman'er no longer hesitated and pounced on him one after another!
"Stop! Do you know where this place is? How dare you be so presumptuous?" The servant walked up to him but did not dare to make a move. He just raised his knife and shouted.
"The Ku family is suspected of rebellion! If there is resistance, behead them on the spot! Why don't you put down your weapons? Kneel down on the spot?" The Black Tiger Cavalry was originally Zeng Yu's imperial guard. Who cares about a few servants?
A soldier pressed the handle of his sword with his right hand and shouted out these words in a deep voice that made his servants tremble.
Suspected of rebellion? With the power of their bosses, the scoundrels who were still arrogant in front of the people suddenly lost their energy. You look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what to do!
"Hmph!" After a while, these servants still didn't put down their weapons. The leading soldier no longer hesitated, quickly pulled out his sword and shouted again in a deep voice: "If there is resistance, kill them on the spot! Kill brothers!"
"Ping Tie Ping Pong!" The military Han who pulled out the weapon, like a tiger down the mountain, put these servants who only deceived the neighbors of the countryside to the ground. After the moment, the ground was all bloody ...
How could the concubines who were looking directly at this scene dare to scream? They all covered their mouths and opened their eyes in horror...
"Master..." Ku Man'er was supported by a loyal servant beside him. The servant felt his master's violently shaking body and hurriedly called out to his master. Without the backbone of his master, what would happen to this family at this time?
It’s even worse!
Anger! Shame! Fear! All kinds of emotions hit Ku Man'er's forehead, you are so good Zeng Yu! Just burn the bridge when you cross the river! Who single-handedly supported you to get to where you are today? I married my daughter to you!
You treat me like this?
With strength coming from nowhere, Ku Man'er got rid of the help of his servants, rushed to the pool of blood, picked up the most loyal servant among them, and howled: "God damn Zeng Yu! He crossed the river and demolished the bridge!
You should kill me too!"
The howling sound was deafening, and the shrill screams echoed in the courtyard, clearly provoking these soldiers. But the soldiers did not dare to take action. Everyone knew the identity of this master!
Chapter completed!
