The fact that Kowloon Hall has grown from being on the verge of disbanding to now growing stronger than before is closely related to Zhao Jin's dedication.
Of course, Chen Ping’s support and suggestions behind the scenes are also indispensable.
"I'm afraid Mr. Nangong doesn't know. Even without the hall master's instructions, we still have to help Mr. Chen."
The fifth hall master nodded and said with a smile: "When the old hall master passed away, most of the merchants that Jiulong Hall cooperated with were gone. If Mr. Chen hadn't introduced the business to be able to settle down and live in peace, our Jiulong Hall would have disbanded long ago. These young men..."<
/p>
He pointed at this group of young people, all of whom were now strong and strong, "They don't know where to make a living right now!"
The most important thing for people in the world of martial arts is to repay kindness.
Jiulongtang has been favored by Chen Ping, and naturally it is willing to help him when he needs help.
Furthermore, the fifth hall leader also understands that what Chen Ping is investigating now is also the last wish of the old hall master. The murderer of Cao Huowang has not yet been found.
Because Zhao Jin was recommended by Chen Ping, and because the smuggling of salt and iron case was the truth that Chen Ping was determined to find out.
That's why the old hall master handed over the entire Kowloon Hall to Zhao Jin when he was dying.
When it comes to martial arts attainments, Zhao Jin may be a little inferior.
But when it comes to what people want, Zhao Jin is already the consensus of Kowloon Hall.
Nangong Ming's face showed a hint of surprise, and when he looked at these young people, his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of appreciation.
Although these people are still young, they are extremely moral.
When soldiers die for their confidants, they are also repaying the desires of their hearts.
Nangong Ming originally came here to repay a favor, but now it seems interesting.
The people of Jiulong Hall are kind and righteous, so they cannot sacrifice their lives in vain. He thought for a moment, silently overturned the original training plan, and suddenly said.
"Have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you...how to protect yourself."
"Yes, instructor!" everyone replied.
After everyone dispersed, Nangong Mingcai looked at the Fifth Hall Master with his arms folded, raised his chin and asked.
"As for the salt and iron case, where did you find it?"
The Fifth Hall Master was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Nangong Ming would suddenly care about this matter, "This...I really don't know much about it."
Although in Jiulong Hall, only the fifth Hall Master has gone out with Zhao Jin and Chen Ping a few times, he really doesn't know much about the core investigation situation and basically does some peripheral things.
"Oh, that's okay. I still have some understanding of the officialdom, the army, especially the situation in the capital. I will conduct targeted training later. I can also make a copy of these situations and send them to Chen Ping, who will more or less understand them.
He was a little helpful." Maybe what happened just now touched Nangong Ming a little. Since we are on the same line now, I can help as much as I can.
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Hall Master quickly handed over his hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Nangong, for your guidance. When you sort it out, I will send someone to the capital immediately."
"It's just a small matter, why be polite." Nangong Ming waved his hand nonchalantly and said jokingly: "By the way, remember to remind Chen Ping to show the letter to that boy Luo Li, so as not to say that I don't work hard."
"If you have to, I will definitely remind you." It seems that Nangong Ming is also afraid of Luo Li, but he can tell that the relationship between the two should be good.
......
When the letter from Jiulongtang was delivered to the capital, fighting skills training had already begun there.
Chen Ping put down the letter in his hand and glanced at Luo Li.
"The person Brother Luo found seems to have a very simple background."
Although he is thousands of miles away, he is able to know the situation in the capital very well, and he has the skills to kill people at his fingertips. The training subjects are arranged scientifically and rigorously. He is truly an extraordinary talent.
Luo Li folded his hands and asked disapprovingly: "Is his background important?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"Just ask yourself when he has the opportunity to enter Beijing."
Even if Luo Li didn't say anything, Chen Ping could guess that the two were closely related. After all, not everyone can send such a master to the mountains to be a coach with just a letter.
After Chen Ping put the letter away, he thought about another thing silently.
The results for the examination on March 15th are just around the corner. With my answer sheet full of 20% off, I wonder if I will be on the list.
Only by passing the imperial examination can you become a disciple of the emperor, and your career in officialdom will be very high in the future.
If you stop attending the conference, even if you enter the officialdom later, it will be almost impossible to get in touch with the upper levels, and many subsequent plans will not be carried out.
Therefore, you have to enter the palace examination. You don’t have to ask for the number one scholar. A good ranking in the palace examination is enough.
The banquets in the capital also stopped completely with the opening time.
If you can give it a try, if nothing happens, you will be destined to go straight to the Emperor's Palace. Everyone is waiting for this moment.
Chen Tianrui is also very anxious. Although he has great confidence in his son, he still can't help but walk outside the Gongyuan.
And inside the Gongyuan, the atmosphere was solemn.
On March 12, the discarded test papers were sealed and stored in the warehouse, and twenty-eight examiners and marking officers gathered in the marking room.
Everyone will fill in the name of the candidate in each room starting from the 19th place, that is, the second place in each room.
On March 13, everyone gathered together again and began to fill in the second list. Among them, the first eighteen answer sheets of each room were separated from other answer sheets. Before that, they were kept by the examiner and were not filled in the second list.<
/p>
On March 14th, the first list, also known as the main list, is filled in. Starting from the sixth place, the decision-making power of the sixth to eighteenth place is mainly in the hands of the examiner. However, the selection of the Five Classics leader has to be determined by the public. The reviewers discussed it together, and the final candidate selected must be the answer that everyone agrees with.
And wait until March 15th, which will be the official release day.
However, in the past years, when the examination results were released, some people would bribe people in the hospital to release the results in advance to announce the good news. As long as they did not interfere in the rankings of the examination, the court would turn a blind eye.
Nowadays, there must be people in the Gongyuan who are waiting for the good news to be conveyed, so that they can get the reward earlier.
Not surprisingly, Chen Ping's answer sheet is also included.
Fu Yizhen held the answer sheet that had been removed to reveal his identity, and was a little unsure.
Qianzhou, Chen Ping.
Fu Yizhen has heard about this candidate's situation.
"This kid..." A marking officer came over, stared at the answer sheet full of circles, and said, "This kid's answer is wonderful, but is it a bit eye-catching if it's placed too high?"
"I think it is most suitable to fill in the Five Classics Quiet." The marking officer who recommended Chen Ping strongly supported it.
But other people looked at each other and seemed to have different opinions.
"Chen Ping is not from Beijing, and his three generations of ancestry are innocent. The paper is neat and clean. Even though the number of words is a bit too much, it is still within the paper. Why not?" A marking officer who had the same view was a little anxious.
The colleague next to him rolled his sleeves slowly and said: "I have heard of Chen Ping, and they all call him the youngest Jieyuan of our Dayu Dynasty, but... his first teacher was Ye Wenchang. !"
As soon as these words came out, the marking officer who recommended Chen Ping suddenly changed his face.
He knew the intention of this colleague, because the candidates recommended by this person were also among the five classics leaders.
At this point, it becomes the intrigue between the marking officers.
It's normal to compete for one's own candidates, but why do you want to step on others to death?
Mentioning Ye Wenchang, Chen Ping's first teacher, at this time, his sinister intentions need not be made clear. No one present could not understand what he meant when he said this.
As the examiner, Fu Yizhen naturally knew better, but he also had some concerns in his heart.
It's not that I'm worried about Ye Wenchang's affairs, but I'm worried that someone will take this opportunity to create a topic, thus affecting the results of the entire examination.
If such a problem really arises, it will not just be Chen Ping's fault. Once the emperor is displeased, all the officials participating in the examination will probably be involved.
But Chen Ping's literary talent and the way he answers questions are very outstanding. He is a rare young talent. I would hate to be buried.
