Gao Qiu's face was gloomy, and he looked coldly at Gao Yanei, who was bedridden and looking weak, and said angrily: "You are such a scumbag, you have brought trouble to me. If the officials don't show mercy this time, even I will be implicated by you!"
This Gao Yanei was actually a cousin of Gao Qiu's distant cousin.
Because Gao Qiu had no children, after he became successful, he adopted him as the person to provide for him in his old age.
However, Gao Yanei was so incompetent that he had neither knowledge nor skills. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and behaved wildly. When he was drunk, he went to the streets to bully men and women. It can be said that at least half of Gao Qiu's bad reputation in Tokyo was due to Gao Qiu.
Yameni’s contribution.
Gao Yanei knew that he was wrong and muttered: "Father, I know I was wrong!"
"But little did I know that officials would go to a place like Fanlou, and..."
Thinking of the official's vicious sword blow, Gao Yanei's expression changed, and he couldn't help but said bitterly: "Father, I don't dare to bear grudges against the official's son, but that Wang Lin, a common man, a dog-like thing, he actually
If you dare to bully our Taiwei, doesn't that mean you don't take my father seriously?"
Gao Qiu sneered: "Shut up! That Wang Lin has been awarded a gold medal by the officials, you are not allowed to provoke him again in the future!"
Gao Qiu waved his hand and left.
Gao Yanei's expression changed for a long time before he lost his temper and said coldly: "Lu Ping, get out!"
Lu Ping dejectedly walked out from behind the curtain and said angrily: "I've seen Yanei."
"Lu Ping, I can't swallow this bad breath!" Gao Yanei's face was ferocious and twisted: "Keep an eye on Wang Lin for me. Seize the opportunity and give it to me..."
Gao Yanei made a sharp clicking gesture, accidentally touching the wound, and couldn't help but groan in pain.
Zhao Ji almost stabbed him to death with this knife.
Lu Ping hummed and bowed down: "Yamen, my subordinates have recruited some Jianghu people. Please rest assured, as long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely kill that guy and avenge the yamen!"
"And that Zhang family, subordinate..."
Lu Ping came closer and said with a charming smile: "My subordinates dug up three feet of the ground in Bianliang City and found her as soon as possible for the Yameni and brought her to the Yameni couch!"
As soon as Gao Yanei heard about Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Zhenniang's delicate and gentle face appeared in front of his eyes, and his heart felt like it was scratched by a cat.
…
Wang Lin naturally moved out of Guiyuan Inn and moved into the house given by the official Zhao Ji.
Although he is not short of money, he can't waste the money he can save.
In the past few days, Wang Lin has basically visited Bianliang City.
Wang Lin remembered that he had read a book called "Tokyo Menghua Lu" in his previous life. The opening chapter of the book mainly introduced the general situation of Bianliang, including the size of the city, how long the city walls were, how many gates there were, and how many gates there were.
River, and some important places, such as what buildings are in the palace and what are the government agencies.
According to the records in "Tokyo Menghua Lu", the perimeter of the outer city wall of Bianliang is more than 40 miles.
What is this concept?
With a permanent population of 1.5 million, Bianliang was definitely a megacity second to none in terms of world conditions in the tenth century AD.
Wang Lin visited Bianliang City on the spot and felt that Bianliang City may be larger and more populous than what was recorded in the book. The huge population has brought economic prosperity. Walking in Bianliang City, you will not feel the chaos of the late Northern Song Dynasty at all.
sign.
Time flies by and it’s the end of June in a blink of an eye.
As a special examination, this martial arts examination is divided into two levels: the preliminary examination (preliminary examination) and the palace examination (re-examination) in accordance with the requirements of Emperor Zhao Ji.
The examination was conducted by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in collaboration with Taiwei Gao Qiu, and was held at the East Campus in the outer city of Bianliang.
About chen shi.
The martial arts exam officially begins.
506 martial artists from all over the country were armed with various weapons and rode on their own tall horses. They formed several long queues and entered the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of the Forbidden Army flag soldiers.
The stands around the school grounds were already filled with densely packed Tokyo residents, probably no more than a few thousand people.
Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er also mixed in with the crowd and entered the school grounds. She was not willing to join in the fun, but she couldn't resist Jin'er's insistence and was curious, so she came.
In fact, at the entrance on the other side, Li Shishi also entered the stadium in a soft sedan. However, she was treated completely differently from Zhang Zhenniang. She had a special position in the front of the stand. That was where Fan Lou sent money from the Privy Council clerk.
Bought in hand.
To put it bluntly, the area where Master Li is located is a paid VIP seat, and all dignitaries from all walks of life in Beijing come here who are willing to join in the fun.
The special favors of the imperial court can become a way for some people to make money, so what hope can this coward have?
Zhang Zhenniang was covered with a veil, and Jin'er stood there looking around, but no matter how dazzled she was, there was no trace of Wang Lin who came to take the scientific examination.
After all, trying to find Wang Lin among hundreds of actions is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.
Today's test is divided into two parts: strategy discussion and martial arts competition.
Policy theory is roughly similar to liberal arts scholarship selection, but slightly simpler.
The martial arts competition is divided into four parts: lunge shooting, riding shooting, foot fighting and riding duel.
All candidates were divided into four groups, competed in turn, and ranked based on points. The top 100 were selected for the second round of the palace examination.
In the palace examination, the top fifty candidates who were granted military qualifications were selected and awarded official status.
The one-tenth probability of being selected is still quite high.
At least it is much easier than the selection of civil servants in later generations where dozens or even hundreds of people are selected.
The examiner for this exam is Meng Tong, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, Tong Guan's best friend.
Among the examiners was Bai Shizhong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, a close confidant of Cai Jing.
Together with Gao Qiu, these three people formed the examiner group.
Although Gao Qiu was not the examiner, he was in the middle among the three examiners. This was related to his status and power.
All the military officials were sitting on the ground, with a desk in front of each person, filled with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Today's policy test questions were not complicated, and as expected by Wang Lin, the main theme was to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty.
Meng Tong stood up and bowed to Gao Qiu and said, "Liant Gao, the time has come. Can the exam start?"
Gao Qiu waved his hand and said slowly: "Mr. Meng is the examiner, you can make your own decision!"
Meng Tong nodded, and was about to instruct the Imperial Guard soldiers standing by to beat the drums when he saw dust outside the school grounds flying and the sound of horse hooves thundering. Not long after, a man galloped over on his own.
Immediately, a middle-aged man in a red robe dismounted from his horse, cupped his fists towards Meng Tong and the others and said, "I'm here to help Zhang Shuye, who is in trouble. By order of the official, I'm here to invigilate the exam!"
Meng Tong frowned.
The emperor actually sent an invigilator, which was a bit against the rules. What does it mean?
Meng Tong subconsciously looked at Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu closed his eyes and calmed down, pretending not to see anything.
But Gao Qiu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He thought that the officials were still worried about a certain family, fearing that a certain family might manipulate Wang Lin's martial arts exam, so he temporarily sent Zhang Shuye to supervise.
However, there are so many candidates in the martial arts examination this time, and there are countless people with proven backgrounds. For him, a nobody from Shandong Province, to stand out is as difficult as reaching the sky, so why do you need someone to do anything!
Gao Qiu sneered in his heart, but remained calm.
Meng Tong hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, you are very polite. Since the government has sent Master Zhang, please take a seat. I will announce the start of the scientific examination!"
Zhang Shuye cupped his hands and sat directly next to Bai Shizhong without saying a word.
