Chapter 242, strict search

Ling Xiaolou, who was immersed in practice, suddenly heard a knock on the door and almost lost his mind. He shouted in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Ling, today is a government test!" Li Jin heard something strange and quickly explained, "There will be less than an hour before the name call begins."

He sighed inexplicably that there was really no reason why Lord Blood Wolf could achieve today. It's really hard. I don't forget to practice on such an important day.

"Ah!" Ling Xiaolou woke up suddenly. A carp jumped out of bed, washed his face, brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth and changed clothes. His movements were dazzlingly fast.

Before Li Jin could react, Ling Xiaolou had rushed out of the door and greeted Xu Limin to walk out of the courtyard.

At this time, the sky was still full of stars, and the light moonlight sprinkled down.

Ma Xiaoxiao had told Qinglan to prepare the carriage the day before and let Qinglan wait for Lingxiaolou and Xu Limin at the door in person.

When the beautiful and sexy Qinglan saw Ling Xiaolou and Xu Limin coming out, she quickly greeted them, saluted them and said with a smile, "Ling Shao and Xu Shao, the examination basket and breakfast prepared for you are in the car. You can check if there is anything left behind."

Ling Xiaolou smiled gratefully and took the lead in getting into the car. He really saw two test baskets in the spacious carriage. After checking and confirming that there were few things, he opened the curtain and said, "Qinglan, thank you. There is nothing missing."

"Then Ling Shao and Xu Shao should hurry up. It's getting late!" Qinglan said, and then told the driver a few words, and the carriage drove quickly.

Ling Xiaolou and Xu Limin sat in the car and ate the cakes and porridge prepared by Qinglan. The nervousness soon calmed down.

After about half an hour, the carriage slowed down and stopped in a short time.

"Have you arrived?" Ling Xiaolouxin said that the speed was so fast? He poked his head out and asked, "Uncle, has the court arrived?"

"Two sons, the front is blocked!" The driver is an old man in his fifties, and he is a good driver. At this time, he said helplessly.

Hearing this, Lingxiaolou walked out of the carriage, stood on the driveway, and looked around. He really saw that the surrounding streets were brightly lit, and all kinds of lanterns and torches converged into a thick dragon.

With the help of the moonlight and lights, he saw all kinds of sedan chairs, carriages, ox carts... crowded streets and alleys like dumplings.

"Why are there so many people?" Ling Xiaolou's scalp was numb.

"There's nothing strange!" Xu Limin stood next to Lingxiaolou, looked around, and smiled and said, "In ten counties under the command of Datong Prefecture, there are 1,000 candidates in each county, which is tens of thousands. Coupled with these people's attendants, guards and so on, there are more people. It's no wonder that there is no traffic jam!"

"Brother Xu's analysis is very right." Ling Xiaolou nodded with deep thought, "What should we do now? Keep waiting?"

Xu Limin took a look at Ling Xiaolou and said, "Forget it. It's so crowded now that the carriage must not pass. Why don't we just walk there?"

Time was tight, and Ling Xiaolou didn't have time to think too much and nodded to agree.

One of them jumped out of the car with a test basket. Ling Xiaolou waved his hand and said, "Uncle, let's go over. You go back first."

Ling Xiaolou is a practitioner. He has good footwork and body. He pulls Xu Limin to trot up and shuttle through the car group and crowd. The speed is no less than that of the carriage.

He has a long physical strength, excellent endurance, and is easy to run.

However, to Ling Xiaolou's surprise, the two ran to the open space in front of the house in one breath, and Xu Limin did not breathe.

"Ha ha, you know that I believe in the six arts of ancient scholars, so when I read in my spare time, I also exercise. Of course, I'm definitely not as good as you." Looking at the appearance of Ling Xiaolou Nahan, Xu Limin said with a smile.

"The body is the capital of the revolution, and Brother Xu has three flavors." Ling Xiaolou laughed.

At this time, countless people gathered in the square in front of the courtyard, crowded together.

This is only where candidates can come in, otherwise such a wide square will not meet the needs.

"In addition to the candidates who passed the county examination this year, there are also candidates who have passed the county examination in previous years, but have not passed the government examination, so there are many people." Xu Limin explained.

"How many people do this have to be? It won't be tens of thousands, will it?" Ling Xiaolou smacked his tongue.

"Almost..." Xu Limin is also a little uncertain.

"Let's hurry to find our candidate team in Renhuai County, and then call the field as the county as the unit. Don't delay." Xu Limin said.

Ling Xiaolou nodded and agreed, raised his eyes and looked around to find a gathering place for candidates in Renhuai County.

Soon, Ling Xiaolou's eyes lit up, pointed to a lantern near the edge of the square in front of the right and said, "Over there!" Look at that lantern, which says the benevolence gathering point!"

"Exact!" Xu Limin was overjoyed and followed Lingxiao Tower through the crowd and went to the Renhuai gathering point.

"Xu, Ling Shao, you are late." A benevolent examinee watched the two come over and saluted them with a smile.

Then the crowd was a little noisy, and people, whether they knew or didn't know, greeted them.

There's nothing we can do. Who made them celebrities in Renhuai County?

It goes without saying that Xu Limin is the first of this county trial, and it is difficult for candidates in Renhuai County not to know.

Lingxiaolou itself is the son of the Ling family. During this period, it has stirred up wind and rain in Datong City, and it is not easy to be with.

Ling Xiaolou talked to these candidates, and some diligent candidates also came to ask them some problems in the four books and five classics.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the gate of the palace finally opened, and Datong County, the first county, began to enter by name.

"Alas... This is miserable. The order of entering the examination room is determined according to the results of the previous instructional lottery. Our Renhuai drew the seventh place this time. Maybe by the time we enter, the good position will be gone." A candidate complained depressedly.

Who said no? Who made us teach you that your luck stinks so bad? If it were me, why did I have to draw the top three?

"I can't help it. I have to wait."

Listening to the candidates' complaints, Ling Xiaolou frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"Yes!" A former examinee came in a rosy when he heard the words and said with a smile, "You can also give some money to the servants in the examination room to let them occupy a good position."

"How much does it cost?" Ling Xiaolou's eyes lit up.

In Renhuai City, the children of the Ling family can also be the first to enter and choose a position, but in Datongfu, there is no such treatment. Everyone is treated equally.

Of course, it is impossible to treat absolutely equal people, but it is also impossible to let any children enter with such a big fanfare as Renhuai County.

"The price is uncertain, ranging from one or two to seven or eight taels." This examinee has not tried, but has heard about it, so he is not sure.

Ling Xiaolou and others asked several servants, but none of them dared to collect money. The explanations given by these people were similar.

Jinxi Zhixuedao personally supervised the trial of Datong Prefecture. The governor of Datong Prefecture ordered them not to mess around, otherwise they could not eat it.

Ling Xiaolou stopped in desperation.

More than 10,000 candidates take the county as a unit, and after one county finishes naming and all enter the court, it will be the turn of the next county.

Ten counties under the command of Datong Prefecture, that is to say, it will take ten times to finish the name. Until dawn, Renhuai County and other candidates entered the city.

Ling Xiaolou and Xu Limin searched for a long time and finally found two good positions. A heart has been put down.

When Ling Xiaolou closed his eyes and refreshed, all the candidates finally sat down.

At this time, the door of the examination room was slowly closed, and the seal was pasted after being locked. Seeing this scene, the candidates couldn't help beating drums in their hearts. The secret government test was really much stricter than the county test.

While everyone was thinking nonsense, they heard a government official shouting loudly, "Your Excellency is coming!"

There was only a faint sound, and the candidates got up one after another and saluted in the direction of the main hall.

The magistrate of Datong Prefecture is a middle-aged man wearing a blue official robe with a majestic face.

He walked to the front of the hall and faced the main hall like all the candidates. First, he gave three pillars of incense to the Confucius saint, and then took the candidates to kowtow together.

After all this, the magistrate got up and faced the crowd.

At this time, Ling Xiaolou saw that the candidates saluted the magistrate in an orderly manner and said, "Students visit the magistrate."

The magistrate's majestic eyes surrounded the crowd, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Except, sit down."

"This year's government test is set at five games, and everyone should be psychologically prepared for each game every day." The magistrate said loudly.

Then, the governor of Datong began to solemnly declare the discipline of the examination room.

Just as everyone was drowsy and waiting quite impatiently, the magistrate sneered and said, "I now give you a chance to throw all the things with cheating on your body on the path in front of you within a quarter of a quarter of an hour. It's out of date!"

At this time, some candidates are hesitant to hand it over or not? This is a difficult choice.

However, many candidates were forced by the majesty of the magistrate to take out the hidden parts of their bodies and throw them on the aisle in front of them.

Ling Xiaolou looked cold. He saw a candidate actually take out a few pieces of palm-sized paper from his underwear. After struggling for a long time, he finally chose a frank life...

Ling Xiaolou really wants to ask, buddy, don't you think it's disgusting?

As soon as half an hour arrived, the magistrate immediately shouted, "All candidates should pay attention, open all your examination items and let the soldiers in charge of supervision check it. Humph... Now that there is something cheating is found, and you can directly disqualify from the government examination!"

Suddenly, there was a noise in the courtyard, and the candidates who had participated in the previous government examinations smacked their tongues. This year, this magistrate is coming to the real place.

"Quiet!" A fair-skinned and tall middle-aged man shouted blankly.

Candidates calm down at the moment.

Middle-aged people have a strong scholarly atmosphere, but at this time, they have a face and are quite majestic, which is the momentum developed by the superiors.

"All soldiers obey orders, strictly search, and must find out those bad people who undermine the discipline of the examination room!" The middle-aged man shouted, and then waved his hand, and the wolf-like soldiers rushed to the candidates.
