After Shusun Tong walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, he saw more than a hundred people waiting there.

"Hello, Mr. Shusun!"

When he saw Shusun Tong, a man came forward and bowed, his posture was quite decent.

Shusuntong was very satisfied, at least these people were not as superior as Jia Xiong.

But when he looked at the other people, he found that something was wrong. If he were a student, he would definitely say hello when he saw him. Even if his reputation was damaged at this moment, even if he didn't say hello, he wouldn't have such an expression.

What kind of expression is that? Everyone has a straight face, as if they are facing an enemy.

And those eyes actually hid something indestructible. Shusun Tong was frightened by this thing.

It is impossible for a student to have such eyes.

However, Jia Xiong said that they were students, and Shusun Tong could only treat them as students.

"Let's go!"

The group of people marched vigorously, passing through the busy city, crossing crossings, and skimming the shade of trees, attracting a lot of attention, and soon appeared on the road to Chang'an Township.

At this moment, in the same place, a carriage passed by hundreds of people. Two people were driving the carriage, and a luxurious young man was sitting in it. There were some boxes piled in the carriage.

"Master, are all these students going to Chang'an Township?" a slave asked the young master in the carriage.

Yes, these people were dressed in the usual clothes of students, and they were like a crowd when they arrived, very much like the style of students.

Moreover, this road is the only way to Chang'an Township, no wonder the slave said so.

When the noble prince heard this, he opened the curtain and looked outside, feeling strange in his heart.

Judging from the clothes, they were indeed students, but he felt something was wrong. The temperament of these people was completely different from that of ordinary students.

What does it feel like? He can't tell.

Looking further forward, the leader is a middle-aged man, well-dressed, but his face is melancholy and he is walking in a hurry.

"He is." Mr. Hua Gui was somewhat familiar with this person, so he started to think about it, and then he was surprised when he remembered, "Isn't this Dr. Shusun Tong, who is waiting for an imperial edict?"

"He's here again?"

The last time Shusun Tong visited Chang'an Township, the price of the two books soared to a huge price. Everyone knew about this, and naturally the noble master also knew about it.

Looking at the hundreds of students again, especially when he saw the cold and terrifying eyes, Master Huagui was stunned, and he was shocked, and quickly urged: "Quick, rush to Chang'an Township as quickly as possible, I want the teacher to know as soon as possible

This matter."

Mr. Huagui is Mr. Shen. He also heard about hundreds of students making trouble in Chang'an Township last time. He heard that many people were injured. Looking at the expressions of these students now, it must be that the comers are evil, and there is no way out.

Shu Sun Tong.

He concluded that these people were going to Chang'an Township and must be making trouble.

"Okay! Sit tight, young master." The slave flicked his whip and the carriage started galloping towards Chang'an Township.

After the students made a fuss, Chang'an Township has now arranged a slave guard.

The carriage stopped, and Mr. Shen quickly jumped out. Without even having time to take care of his luggage, he found Li Zhao.

The slave was already familiar with the apprenticeship last time, so his arrival was not blocked and he quickly walked in.

"Teacher, teacher, Shen is here." Mr. Shen's voice spread everywhere before he arrived.

Others are not surprised. The housekeeper has told everyone a long time ago that there will be two more people in Chang'an Township in the future, one is noble and the other is ranked second in the imperial examination. Both of them are rare talents.

Mr. Shen searched several corners and finally found Li Zhao.

"Teacher, those students are here again, including Shusun Tong."

Li Zhao was not surprised when he heard this.

The two books are imperial examination books and are very popular among students. However, since these two books are so expensive, it is normal for them to come looking for them.

There is also Shusuntong. In order to fulfill His Majesty's will, he will definitely come again. He will not just watch himself sink into the quagmire.

"Oh! This is normal!" Li Zhao's reaction was flat.

"No, it's not normal at all." Mr. Shen became anxious.

He just felt that it was abnormal. Ordinary students who came to visit because of the price of two books would only have two expressions, one was angry, the other was full of sadness.

But these students are not. They don't have any expression change. Instead, they have coldness and indifference in their eyes, which is definitely not what ordinary students have.

"They were very strange. They seemed to have murderous intent in their eyes."

Li Zhao glanced at Young Master Shen and smiled slightly. He felt that Young Master Shen was thinking too much, but he did not refute. Young Master Shen's attitude proved that he had recognized him as a teacher and regarded himself as a Chang'an native.

This is a good thing!

certainly!

He couldn't stop these students from making trouble, but he could still take precautions.

Then he immediately summoned all the slaves and farmers, and also summoned Wu Quan and others.

Wu Quan and others have only been training for a few days, and it is still a bit difficult to truly become guards. However, with their physiques, they can resist some students.

Students are always students, not soldiers in the army.

Everyone gathered at the door, some holding farm tools, some holding long sticks, and some rolling up their sleeves, as if they were determined to fight the students to the end.

Wu Quan is worthy of being a soldier, and his courage is unparalleled by ordinary people. He led more than 20 people in front, and his four-piece suit was brought out. He was fully armed, but the costume was a bit unappreciative.

The military green uniform covered the whole person, leaving only the eyes exposed. He also wore thick gloves in his hands, holding something that looked soft.

Yes, this thing is soft, not as straight and hard as a wooden stick, but more like a horse's tail.

The other hand held an unheard-of object, and the material of this object was even more peculiar.

However, everyone was already accustomed to some strange things in Chang'an Township, so they were not surprised for a long time and unanimously set their sights not far from the door.

Soon, a huge group of people came, led by Shu Suntong.

Li Zhao saw clearly that these people were indeed as Mr. Shen said. They did not look like ordinary students, but looked like soldiers from the army.

There is a looming murderous aura in them, and even if they are dressed like students, they will not change their nature.

Li Zhao frowned.

"I've met General Li! I'm so abrupt this time, please forgive me."

As soon as Shusun Tong arrived, he immediately put on a respectful posture and didn't want to cause trouble at all. It was obvious that his arrival was not to threaten Chang'an Township, but to sincerely repent.

Li Zhao felt relieved and surprised.

This situation was rare, so I quickly let down my guard and felt that the murderous intent of these students was all due to the price of the second book.

"What are you doing here, sir?" Li Zhao asked deliberately.

Seeing Shusun Tong's attitude, Li Zhao didn't mean to embarrass him. After all, he couldn't hit the smiling man with his hand!

But the meaning also needs to be clarified.

Shusun Tong smiled bitterly. Isn't it clear why he came here? But he still said: "The notice was wrong. I kindly ask General Li to ignore the past and lower the price a little. Two and a half thousand taels is really too expensive and most students can't afford it."

ah!"

Li Zhao half-smiled, "Oh! So what, I've already set the price and reopened the bookstall in the eastern suburbs. It's their business if they can't afford it, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Also, you brought so many students today. This is the attitude you require of me."

His face straightened slightly.

"No." Shusun Tong was anxious. Li Zhao wanted to stick to the end, "That's not what Tong meant. These students all came together to beg General Li for mercy because they had no money to afford a second degree. They didn't mean any harm."

"Yes, we don't mean any harm."

A student walked out of the row, and he was the leader of the students. He followed closely behind Shusun Tong and held his hands. The words came out of his mouth.

"General Li, your family is in a tight situation and you really can't afford so much money to buy the second book. Please forgive me." The man knelt down and looked extremely pitiful.

"My little family has a small population, not much fertile land, and only a little surplus of food all year round. I can't even get enough to eat. How can I come up with four and a half thousand taels of money?"

"The villain is obsessed with the imperial examination, but he doesn't want to give up because of the obstruction of the Second Secretary. I hope General Li will show mercy and give the villain a clear path."

Nowadays, taking the imperial examination is a clear path.

This man shed tears of sadness as he spoke, which showed that he was in an embarrassing situation.

"Yes! If we weren't short of money, we wouldn't dare to disturb General Li. We hope General Li will give us a future." The other students handed over their hands and expressed their difficulties.

Li Zhao listened, and his heart was a little touched.

In fact, he has some understanding of the current situation in the Qin Dynasty. The taxes in the Qin Dynasty are too heavy, and most of the land is concentrated in the hands of the powerful. They are outright landlords. They always have the concept that the common people are untouchables, and untouchables should not As long as you don't starve to death, you'll be fine if you have more.

Most of the students are farmers or children from poor families. They are all poor and cannot even save enough food, so how can they get four and a half thousand taels.

These are all the shortcomings of Da Qin!

According to the previous idea, the second book was sold for tens and a half taels at the beginning, and then the price was slowly reduced. Part of the purpose was to make more people afford the second book.

This is what is called small profits but quick turnover.

But Shu Sun Tong's ban made him angry, so he acted like this.

He didn't speak, he closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

What no one knew was that just as the leader of the students came out, the face of Wu Feng, who was wearing a military green stab-proof uniform, suddenly frowned and he stared at the leader.

This person gives him a sense of familiarity.

His body moved and his steps moved slowly towards Li Zhao, trying to get as close to Li Zhao as possible.

Li Zhao took a deep breath, glanced at the many praying students, and landed on the leader.

"Why do you want to take the imperial examination?" He moved his steps and slowly approached the leader.

With longing in his eyes, the leader said firmly: "Change the status quo and fight for the sake of my mother at home."

This is what most students think, and Li Zhao naturally feels the same way.

In his previous life, he was a loser, and his parents were farmers. His parents worked hard to send him to school, all in order to make him stand out.

The same goes for the students at this moment.

"Do you know how difficult it is to take the imperial examination?"

Li Zhao's steps came a little closer.

"You have no regrets, no matter whether you are successful or not."

It can be seen that this person's determination to take the imperial examination was very strong, and Li Zhao was deeply touched. Isn't this a reflection of his previous life?

These are people who share the same problem. It would be heartless to hinder them from taking the imperial examination because the two books are too expensive.

Li Zhao's determination began to loosen, and he continued to walk forward, taking the lead, with his hands spread out. He wanted to help this student up, cheer him up in his situation, and help other students like him.

What they said touched him. He wanted all these students to be able to study, and he wanted to change the predicament of Da Qin.

"Get up!"

Li Zhao had reached the leader and stretched out his hands towards him.

What no one knew was that when Li Zhao made this move, the leader's sad expression immediately changed and turned ferocious.

The next moment, he reached into his arms and quickly took out something.

At the first moment, Wu Quan followed Li Zhao closely, his steps became heavier and heavier, his heart slowly tightened, but his mind kept thinking. Then, he was shocked and pale, and a picture appeared in his mind, a villain

.

That year, the commander-in-chief of the Xianyang garrison was not Jia Xiong, nor was he a slave. He was a guard under the former commander-in-chief. On that day, the deputy general Jia Xiong suddenly led people into the camp of the former commander-in-chief and killed the former commander-in-chief. He, as a guard,

, tried his best to resist, but had no choice but to be alone and weak. He was seriously injured by the people brought by Jia Xiong, and was finally disposed of secretly as a corpse.

Fortunately, he was blessed with great fortune. He was only seriously injured and did not die. He survived and was taken away into slavery.

He could never forget the attack that day. A group of evil men were fierce and cruel. There was blood everywhere they cut, and the leader was the person in front of him.

The leader didn't recognize Wu Quan, who was covered in stab-proof clothing. He took out a broken knife and stabbed Li Zhao hard while Li Zhao wasn't paying attention.

"Go to hell!" The words were extremely vicious.

At the same time, a voice came.

"Master, it's not good, go back quickly, quickly" was Wu Quan's voice.

But what about this audio reminder?

Li Zhao was so shocked that he could no longer react. When he saw the gleaming dagger, his mind seemed to go dark and his body was completely out of control.

"How dare you?" Li Zhao shouted in shock, but it didn't help. The dagger was coming with a vicious voice, "You shouldn't hinder Jia Xiong."

Li Zhao watched helplessly as the dagger approached his lower abdomen. His hands and feet seemed to have lost consciousness. Death was coming, and his heart sank to the bottom.

But, at this moment, a figure rushed over quickly and pushed him aside violently.

laugh!

This is the sound of a dagger piercing.

Li Zhao was shocked when he was pushed away. He took a quick look and saw that it was Wu Quan who pushed him away. At this moment, the short knife was inserted hard into Wu Quan's abdomen. Maybe it was a conditioned reaction, or the pain was unbearable. Wu Quan held it tightly.

Holding the short knife where it was stabbed, he fell to the ground hard, with blood oozing out of his hand.

"No punches!" Li Zhao shouted in shock, his eyes bulging out, his eyes extremely angry.

He quickly glanced at Wu Quan and stared at the leader, the man who looked pitiful just now.

"Kill those who dare to hurt me. Kill them all for me."

At this moment, Li Zhao roared, completely forgetting that he was surrounded by slaves and peasants, had no combat experience, and had no strong physique.

Yes, his guard only has about twenty people.

"Kill? Just them? Haha!" The leader's expression was ferocious, and he completely turned into a human being. Then, he waved his big hand back, and the students behind him suddenly transformed into murderous gangsters.

Hoo ho ho!

They pulled out their swords that were hidden somewhere and pointed them at Li Zhao.

"Who are you?" Li Zhao stared at the leader with eyes full of anger, and subconsciously stretched his hands into his arms. There was half a tael of money there.

"The person who killed you."
