Six hundred and seven, doubts lifted (off-topic)

There was a strange silence.

Yesterday, he was also with them to make friends with poetry, which was impressive. Wang Xiucai, who was a little arrogant, suddenly said he would die if he died?

Or was it fallen to death?

"Scholar Sun, can you take us to see?" someone asked.

No matter what the mentality is, whether it is regret, or glad that there is no opponent or watching the fun, many people yelled to ask Sun Xiucai to take them to see it.

Only Xiucai Sun is a local and familiar with the world.

Sun Xiucai glanced at Ye Miao, "Wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and you will leave if you don't come."

The doors were closed one after another, and everyone went into the house to change their clothes.

"Are you going? Young Master He?" asked Sun Xiucai.

He asked her specifically, do you want her to go and see it?

Thinking about it, Xiucai Sun didn't look for anyone, so he came to tell her early in the morning that he had the intention of asking her to go and take a look.

Ye Miao nodded and said, "Go."

A quarter of an hour later, everyone who wanted to go was ready to go downstairs.

Sun Xiucai didn't care about how many people there were, and said directly: "Let's go."

The place where the accident happened was about three miles away, and the inside and outside were full of people.

When Sun Xiucai and others went, Wang Xiucai's body had been covered with people from the government and white cloth.

Ye Miao saw Butler Zhou who was talking to the yamen runner at a glance.

Butler Zhou looked regretful, "I invited him to have tea yesterday afternoon and saw him leave with my own eyes. Unexpectedly, it was only one night after another... Alas..."

"If I had known this, I would have sent him back in person and told him not to go out." He blamed himself.

"Butler Zhou doesn't have to blame himself. This matter has nothing to do with you." A yamen runner who looked like a little leader said respectfully.

"What a pity. If nothing happened, with this talented scholar Wang, he would definitely be able to go to high school." Zhou Guanjia said.

"Everyone has his own destiny, I can only say that he does not have the blessing to enjoy this destiny." said the yamen runner.

At this time, a wind blew from somewhere, lifting the white cloth covering Wang Xiucai in a corner, revealing half of his head.

No one had moved his body, and he seemed to be the way he was when he fell to death.

My neck was broken and drooped in a weird and distorted position that would not appear under normal circumstances.

"Ah!" Screams came from the crowd.

Ye Miao subconsciously looked over and found that among the candidates who came with him, some of them looked scaryly pale.

If she remembered correctly, those people were the ones who were most promising to win the imperial examination in Yunlai Inn.

After talking to the yamen runner for a while, Mr. Zhou asked, "Have you found out the cause of death?"

"The coroner has not yet achieved the final result, but I look at it and probably died of falling and breaking my neck."

Butler Zhou shook his head while sighing, "Oh, what a pity."

He looked like he was really a pity on his face. Ye Miao looked at him coldly, but saw that his eyes were clearly cold.

"Famousness, wealth and fortune, no fate is important. Those who know the current affairs are heroes." Sun Xiucai sighed quietly beside her.

Ye Miao's thoughts moved, "Sun Xiucai, do you know something?"

She suspected that Wang Xiucai's death was because Butler Zhou hinted to him that the same words she had hinted yesterday. Wang Xiucai was a noble person and disdainful person. He might have scolded him loudly or even threatened to expose him, which annoyed Butler Zhou and made Butler Zhou kill him.

"What can I know if I am a person who is the last one to pass the scholar's exam?" Sun Xiucai smiled mockingly.

"I'm going back to study. What if I'm lucky this time and won the last score?"

Ye Miao wanted to ask something, but Sun Xiucai had already shaken his sleeves and left.

——

The people in Furu Inn also received news that a poor scholar fell to death after drinking.

The people here reacted completely differently from those in Yunlai Inn.

"I probably thought I could jump over the dragon gate, but I was overjoyed and sad."

"Does anyone want to go and have a look?"

"What are you looking at? It's bad luck. It's dead. No one has seen anyone before. Don't be like those rural villagers, as if they have never seen the world."

"I heard that man is quite talented and is sure to win the exam. If he could do it for me..." Someone said halfway and suddenly stopped the conversation.

When Cheng Shuo heard this, his eyes flashed and he walked over with a teacup, "This brother is in Linnan, Xiamei City."

The man looked at him vigilantly, with a little disdain and a little jealousy in his eyes. Yesterday, Cheng Shuo thought the room was not good, and everyone heard about it.

"I'm here Xu You, is there anything wrong with Mr. Lin?"

"I heard you are talking about scholars and juren..."

"It's just a dead person, there's nothing to say." Xu You interrupted.

Cheng Shuo said: "Young Master Xu is right. I see that Mr. Xu is so arrogant, with a talented and extraordinary knowledge, and wants to ask other things."

After a few words were praised, Xu You's attitude immediately eased a lot, "Mr. Lin won the award, but I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to ask?"

Cheng Shuo said mysteriously: "Mr. Xu, what should I do if I can't read books like me and want to pass the imperial examination?"

He did not lower his voice when he said this, and immediately many people looked here.

Xu You coughed, "Don't say that Mr. Lin wants to know, I also want to know what to do?"

A young man with a round body said, "This is not simple, just pay the money. As long as you are willing to pay the money, what can't be done in this world?"

When these words were said, some people covered their mouths and coughed, and some people brought tea to cover up, which seemed to be tacit.

Cheng Shuo's eyes turned, "To be honest, my family has no talent for studying, they just have some spare money. At the beginning, I, a scholar, bought it for 10,000 taels."

"Ten thousand taels?" Although they are all rich people, buying a scholar with 10 thousand taels seems to be too expensive.

The round-shaped young man said, "This is too expensive. My father spent 3,000 yuan to get a full test and asked an old scholar to take the exam for me."

When everyone, who had been a little concealed, immediately opened their mouths.

"I spent five thousand."

"I'm eight thousand."

"I'm seven thousand."

After one by one, Cheng Shuo found that 90% of the people here, the titles of scholars were almost all obtained for money.

A scholar can only cost thousands to ten thousand taels, and a scholar can at least double it.

"This time my father asked me to bring 20,000 taels of money." said the round-shaped young master.

He didn't say the following words, but the meaning was obvious.

Spend 20,000 taels to buy the identity of a juren.

"Do you have a way?" Cheng Shuo asked.

This is related to his future. The round young man's mouth immediately tightened, "No."

Cheng Shuo didn't ask, but glanced at the other people out of the corner of his eyes.

Some of those people were pricking their ears and listening, as if they wanted to know if there was any way. When they heard that they were not, they immediately looked disappointed.

Some pretended to be uninterested and lowered their heads to drink tea. I don’t know if they were really uninterested or had a way to stay so calm.

"My father originally wanted me to take the exam for a juren, and then I would spend some money to get a small official for me to sit down, but now I have no way, I'm afraid I'll let my father down."

When Xu You heard this, he lowered his voice and asked Cheng Shuo: "How much money is your father going to spend?"

"Five to 100,000 taels." Cheng Shuo said: "My father is willing to go out even if he has more, but he is afraid he will not find a way."

Xu You was shocked, "My father said he would give me at most 30,000 taels. If he doesn't work, he will find a way."

"You have a way?"

Xu You said: "I heard that there is a place here, so I just stayed here, but I have been here for several days and haven't found any way. I'm so anxious."

"If you can find out, you must tell me." Cheng Shuohao said angrily: "When the time comes, I will pay for you."

Xu You was originally a little unwilling at first, but later, hearing Cheng Shuo's words, his eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Don't worry, I'm not familiar with the place here, I can't help with anything else, and I will definitely do what I say about money."

Xu You said happily: "Good brother."

The conversation here soon came to Manager Lu's ears without missing a word.

"Manager Lu, the matter of Master Buying Juren was brought up by Mr. Lin on his own initiative. Maybe there is really a problem." A guy asked.

Manager Lu shook his head, "I was still three-point doubting him, but I didn't doubt him as he said."

"The villain doesn't understand very much."

Manager Lu said: "Think about it, if you are a spy, you wish everyone would ignore your existence. Will you be so arrogant and high-profile that everyone will pay attention to you?"

"This person, once exposed to everyone's noses, he will easily show his feet."

The guy suddenly realized, "Manager Lu is right."

Manager Lu put down the teacup and said, "Let's go, it's time to do the serious business."

After almost a day and a night, it finally arrived. My aunt came again. She was in a bad condition, so there were so many more today. The article was ready, and there were new articles to finish. So it was estimated that it would be updated every day (updated around 10 am), and the number of words would be as high as possible.
