Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 45 Intentional Examination
The man in black struggled a few times, but still fainted.
Qin Zhong's fists were not something ordinary people could withstand. He was trying to trap Qin Zhong and give the woman a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, he misjudged Qin Zhong's strength and ended up here.
Looking further towards the woods, where is the figure of the woman?
The appearance of the woman overturned Qin Zhong's cognition. In his opinion, the Langshan bandits were extremely vicious. They must be a group of hateful-looking bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests to rob homes and cause harm to the people. Such bandits would naturally kill a young man.
Who would have thought that a pretty little lady could also be a Langshan bandit?
"Sir, you are frightened." Qin Zhong said quickly when he saw Fan and Liu approaching.
"Are they really bandits from Langshan?" Master Fan asked in surprise.
"You can't go wrong with the tattoo on your shoulder." Master Liu glanced at the man in black and said.
Master Liu actually knew about tattoos, which surprised Qin Zhong. No matter how famous the Langshan Bandit was, if he didn't know the inside story, he would never know the secret of tattoos. It seems that Master Liu is also a person with stories.
There was a lot of movement here, which alerted the surrounding students. They ran over to check one by one. When they saw the Langshan Bandit lying on the ground, they immediately screamed. At this moment, although the Langshan Bandit was unconscious, his face was covered with blood and his hair was messy.
It's extremely terrifying when you go up there. A group of cucumber eggs that have never seen blood should be frightened to the point of peeing?
"What are you looking at?" Master Liu glared and shouted, "Why don't you go and report it to the official?"
Master Liu was very strict on weekdays, with no smile on his face. The students all over the academy trembled when they saw him. They were afraid of being picked out, so they scolded him. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the students around him started to scold him.
Sa Yazi ran away without a trace. Master Liu, on the other hand, was very satisfied with his majesty.
It didn't take long for a group of black-clad police officers to arrive.
The person leading the team is Cai County Lieutenant of Dali County. We just met yesterday and we are considered acquaintances.
Cai County Lieutenant inspected the tattoo and ordered the police to take him away. He turned around and saluted Fan and Liu with clasped fists. "The academy bravely captured the tough bandits. I will submit a report to the academy to ask for merit for the academy."
"It's not worth mentioning that a young man can be captured casually," Master Liu said calmly.
Qin Zhong lowered his head to hold back his laughter and thought to himself, Master Liu is so swollen. The notorious Langshan bandit became a gangster when he came to his place. Seeing that, Cai County Lieutenant's mouth twitched and his face looked extremely unnatural.
I must have been stimulated by Master Liu's words. Those were Langshan bandits, not street cabbage.
If a Langshan bandit is captured alive, the government will immediately reward him with a hundred coins. If the Langshan bandit is easy to deal with, wouldn't the government be so full that they offer such a high reward? Even so, who has caught the Wolf in the past few years?
The name of the bandit comes from his fierceness. He will fight tooth and nail in every battle and will never be captured alive by the government.
Shayuan Prison once, plus this time, Qin Zhong was able to capture the Langshan Bandit alive because of the huge disparity in strength. Even if the Langshan Bandit wanted to fight, he didn't have this chance. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was instantly defeated by Qin Zhong, completely
He lost the ability to resist. He could only fall to the ground and lament helplessly, but was captured alive by Qin Zhongsheng.
"Little brother Qin captured the Langshan bandit alive. He is so brave that he will be rewarded by the imperial court." Cai County Lieutenant refused to pay attention to the arrogant Master Liu and turned to look at Qin Chong, saying with great approval.
"Humph." Master Fan was not happy, snorted coldly and darkened his face. "It's a big deal for County Lieutenant Cai to catch the thief, how dare we delay? There won't be many honorable men left in the academy." He immediately started expelling people.
Cai Xianwei was confused. He didn't know where he had offended Master Fan, so he said goodbye with clasped fists.
"Qin Zhong." Fan Fuzi expelled Cai County Lieutenant, still feeling depressed. "The so-called civil and military way, one civil and one military complement each other, just like yin and yang complementing each other, don't be biased." Fan Fuzi paused, and then said, "Focus on the emphasis on
If you focus on literature, your strength will be weak and your country will be weak; if you focus on martial arts, your army will be fierce and dangerous. Do you understand what this means?"
No wonder Cai Xianwei was expelled. Qin Zhong was very thoughtful and immediately understood what Master Fan meant. He had just accepted a disciple, but he was labeled a martial artist. How could he be happy? It would be strange not to expel him. So.
He bowed and said, "Martial arts is like a sword, and literature is like a sheath. The sword hides its edge, holding the edge back and not pulling it out lightly; the sheath is disciplined, keeping it straight and not bending."
"Yeah." Master Fan nodded gently, feeling truly amazed in his heart.
These words, if spoken by someone who has been in officialdom for a long time, can only be said in general terms. But if they are spoken by a young man who is in his prime and has no experience, it is very rare. Even some officials have lived a lifetime.
I don’t understand the realm of hiding the edge of a sword and seeking without bending. This kind of knowledge is better than that of many students in the academy.
"Okay." Master Liu laughed heartily and expressed his appreciation.
"This autumn, Qin Chong can go and give it a try," said Master Fan.
"Ah?" Qin Zhong was stunned immediately.
"Isn't it a little early?" Master Liu advised.
"It's just a test of your skills, nothing to be afraid of." After Master Fan said this, Shi Shiran entered the room.
Qiu Wei is in mid-July, and now it is late May, which is a full month. Qin Zhong himself can’t even remember what he has learned, so how can he participate in Qiu Wei? Isn’t this a rush to get on the shelves? The most important thing is,
What content is included in the Qiuwei exam? Qin Chong has no idea at all and doesn’t even know where to start preparing.
Speaking of which, Qin Chong also read a lot of books and became enlightened very early.
When Qin Chong was four or five years old, Qin Chong's mother, Jiang, began to teach him how to read and write. Although Jiang was in a boudoir, she was well-read and full of talents. She naturally tried her best to teach her son. Today's Qin Muyao is the same as when he was a child.
Influenced by Jiang's family, she has read more than ten thousand volumes, and is truly a talented woman from Qin.
When they grew up, they set up a school at home and hired people to teach their sisters to study. Qin Xiao, Qin Chong and Qin Muyao all studied together. At that time, Qin Chong was very smart, but he was too interested in playing and was too single-minded.
He just wanted to run away and had no intention of studying, which often made the master lose his temper.
Qin Muyao, on the other hand, was concerned about his younger brother, and even coaxed and threatened him, forcing Qin Chong to study and practice calligraphy.
Later, when Jiang passed away, Qin Chong had no one to supervise him, so he completely gave up studying and focused on practicing martial arts. Until two years ago, he broke Yao Gang's ribs with a punch and was escorted to the academy by his father.
In Qin Chong's memory, there are many scenes of reading. However, these memories are all from Qin Zhong's past. Looking back now, it always seems like he can't see clearly through a layer of fog. After all, this body now
Inside, there is no longer the original Qin Chong, but a soul from later generations.
Master Fan thought about letting Qin Zhong attend Qiu Wei, and immediately became energetic and began to test Qin Zhong's homework. Throughout the morning, Fan and Liu talked to each other about all the subjects they had learned, from the Four Books to the Five Classics.
He never failed to take the exam. Qin Zhong felt dizzy and his whole body seemed to be crawling with ants.
However, something strange happened. The originally fuzzy memories in my mind became inexplicably clear when Master asked about it. The books I had read unfolded page by page like pictures, and the words in them seemed to have been engraved on them.
In my mind, now, I just read it out.
Qin Chong was very excited. At least he didn't have to suffer anymore and happily accepted the benefit. However, he also had some guesses in his heart. Maybe the things he had seen and heard were all remembered in his mind, but he didn't know it. Once he was familiar with it,
or triggered by specific things, it will naturally appear.
After all, time travel has happened, so what else is magical that cannot be accepted?
This result was beyond the expectations of the two masters. In addition to the surprise, the difficulty continued to increase, and the questions became more and more unfamiliar. However, Qin Zhong was like turning over a book, and his answers were still easy and natural. At this moment, Fan and Liu
It's no longer a surprise, but a surprise. How come you are so talented, but no one has discovered it before?
After taking the exam for a whole morning, Qin Chong finally knew that in order to be admitted to the Shishi Department, he needed to take one poem, one poem, one essay each, five essays, ten essays on the Analects of Confucius, and ten essays on the Spring and Autumn Annals or the Book of Rites.
According to Fan Fuzi's opinion, Qin Chong's poetic talent is self-evident. A song "Lime Ode" has already spread throughout Dali. In a few days, he will be famous in Tongzhou and even Jingzhao Prefecture. Poetry and Fu
The poems of this family are so good, I think the poems will not be much worse. The meaning of the scriptures is not enough to discuss, neither of them passed Qin Chong's test.
Only policy and theory are a test of vision and knowledge, and what is discussed is the way to govern the country. It cannot be obtained without hard work, and it cannot be described by literary talent. The best way is to write propositions and practice continuously.
"From today on, I will write one policy and one article every day, and don't slack off."
"Yes." Qin Chong groaned in pain. This was an arduous task. Facing Fan and Liu, how dare they show any reluctance and bowed respectfully.
During lunch, Qin Zhong met Qin Xiao.
"I plan to give up studying." Qin Xiao's first words made Qin Zhong stunned.
"Why?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions," Qin Xiao said sadly.
"How do you explain it to Aunt Liu?" Everyone in the Qin family knows Aunt Liu's expectations for Qin Xiao. If Qin Xiao gives up studying, won't Aunt Liu's dream collapse?
"Is the only way in the world to study and take the imperial examination?"
Qin Xiao's eyes turned red, and his emotions suddenly became excited. His chest rose and fell, as if he was suppressed and unwilling to burst out at the next moment. After all, the situation was not right. Qin Xiao took a long breath and slowly calmed down his emotions. These words may be
Holding it in his heart for too long may be the heaviest struggle in his heart.
What would this be in future generations? There are countless ways to do business, study medicine, and work. But now in the Song Dynasty, the only way to stand out and honor one's ancestors is through the imperial examination. The rest are all despicable careers. Even those who protect the family and the country
Soldiers were also denounced as vulgar warriors, and they were disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
There is a poem saying:
Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, they have thousands of grains of millet in their books.
There is no need to build a high hall to live peacefully. There is a golden house in the book.
When you go out, don't regret having no one to follow you. There are so many cars and horses in the book.
When marrying a wife, don’t hate an unscrupulous matchmaker. There is a beauty in the book.
The man wanted to fulfill his life ambitions and read the Five Classics diligently in front of the window.
.........
The old emperor personally wrote poems to encourage learning, which is evident in the world style at this time.
"I have informed Master Ming that tomorrow will not come again," Qin Xiao said.
"Three hundred and sixty years later, I will be the number one scholar." Qin Chong thought of a saying from later generations and consoled him.
"Thank you." Qin Xiao's eyes turned red, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice. These words gave Qin Xiao great encouragement, and a ray of light suddenly appeared in his helpless heart. He was not alone, at least in his
He also has the support of his brothers. This support is extremely precious to him.
"Brother, what are your plans?" Qin Xiao asked.
"I have decided to concentrate on running our workshop." Qin Xiao's eyes lit up and she became energetic. "Fruit wine and soap are both daily needs, and the sales volume is very large. I plan to buy another one in the city.
Pavement.”
When it comes to business operations, Qin Xiao is very clear-minded and has a well-organized plan.
"Okay, I'll leave these things to my eldest brother." Qin Zhongzhong was attending the Qiu Wei Festival, so he naturally didn't have time to take care of it, so he felt most at ease leaving it to his eldest brother. Moreover, the brewing master had already settled in the workshop. Axiu was also involved in soap production.
My sister and her team are in charge. Qin Xiao is responsible for liaising with foreign affairs and is the best partner.
"I saved some money in the workshop." Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "If brother needs money, just ask Sister Axiu to withdraw it." Axiu is Dahu's sister and now manages the affairs of the workshop.
"Okay." Qin Xiao waved her arms excitedly.
Qin Zhong looked at Qin Xiao, but he couldn't be happy. He knew that reality was far crueler than dreams. When Aunt Liu learned that Qin Xiao dropped out of school, she might be in trouble. Qin Xiao wanted to do business, but it was difficult. No matter what,
The Qin family is also a family of officials, so how can they allow Qin Xiao to become a merchant? There are some troubles.
Now that Qin Zhong is attending the Qiu Dynasty, he naturally no longer needs to follow the steps and sit in the classroom to listen to the lectures. He only needs to follow Fan Fuzi's requirements, make plans and write one essay each day, and the time is quite relaxed. After dinner, Qin Zhong
As I prepare to return to Shayuan Prison, there is another urgent matter that needs to be handled properly.
Qin Xiao wanted to go see a shop and was not in a hurry to go back, so they parted ways.
By the afternoon, the anti-horses at the crossing had been removed, and people could not help but come and go on the street. However, there were still many policemen in black, weaving in and out of the crowd, stopping passers-by from time to time to question. I think, those who should be arrested have been caught, but as for those who were not
Those who were caught probably escaped after hearing the news. It will not be easy to catch him again.
This arrest was originally a surprise attack. Moreover, the hidden Langshan bandits have been locked down for a long time. As long as there are no major changes, they should be captured in one fell swoop and no fish will slip through the net. But things are always unpredictable, at least.
Qin Chong knew that a fish slipped through the net, a masked woman who escaped from his hands.
The city gate has been released, but everyone leaving the city must be interrogated. Where they live and what they are going to do when they leave the city, they must explain clearly one by one. If there is anything wrong, they will be detained immediately. Therefore, there is a huge crowd in front of the city gate, with hundreds of people.
Thousands of people formed a long queue and marched slowly.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, the team leaving the city was as slow as an ox. Qin Zhong was anxious and couldn't bear to wait any longer. He pushed aside the crowd in front and squeezed towards the city gate. However, there was a sea of people, one after another, but he couldn't move faster even if he wanted to.
.You can't use brute force to push everyone in front of you, right?
Suddenly, a thin figure flashed into Qin Zhong's eyes. He was wearing a scholar's Lan shirt and a shaved head. He was crowded in the crowd and was very inconspicuous. However, Qin Zhong felt strange because this person was really thin.
I don't think of a man, but more like a woman. Thinking of this, Qin Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
The two of them were not far away, with two or three people in between. Qin Zhong kept calm, slowly approached and stuck behind this person. A faint scent of powder, if present or not, drifted into Qin Zhong's face.
In the nose.
Qin Chong was no stranger to this scent, he had smelled it in the morning.
Suddenly, my nose felt a little itchy, and I couldn't hold it back, so I opened my mouth and sneezed.
The man in front turned around and glanced at Qin Zhong with disgust. However, when he saw Qin Zhong's face clearly, he was shocked and wanted to get into the crowd. At this time, Qin Zhong also saw clearly the face of the person in front of him.
It seems to be painted with paint, and it is waxy yellow, but it is a pair of eyes that are bright and lively.
Hehehe laughed strangely, Qin Zhong stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed the man's wrist.
