Chapter 22 Re-entering the Imperial Capital
After a few conversations between the three killers, they suddenly realized something was wrong. Why do they feel like... there are more people?
The boss said: "Who is quarreling?"
The second child: "It's not me!"
The third brother: "It's not me..."
All three of them were lying on the door, and the boss said at this moment: "Report the number~"
Boss: "One!"
The second brother: "Two!"
The third brother: "Three!"
Chen Xiao: "Four!"
The three killers' faces changed, and they turned around and saw a stick hitting the three of them directly.
Three screams, all three of them were beaten with a stick and confused.
Chen Xiao was not ruthless and beat him up again. The three of them were lying on the ground and couldn't stand up, so he stopped.
Then he scolded angrily: "You even dare to be a killer? I have to rely on killing pigs."
After hearing this, the three of them were dissatisfied and the boss forced himself to speak:
"You...you say...I don't accept it...I'm not trying to kill a pig~"
Chen Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Who sent you here?"
"We... will not disclose our employer identity..." The boss looked very professional.
The second brother said: "Boss, you said it as if we know who that woman is..."
The third brother: "Ah? It seems we forgot to ask who the woman was!"
The boss was furious: "Can you two be more professional?"
Chen Xiao was speechless, are these three people afraid they are not fools, right?
However, when I heard that it was a woman, I had already guessed Luo Qianqian.
So he asked again: "How much does she give you to kill me?"
The boss was a little proud of the money: "One hundred documents."
The atmosphere suddenly solidified, and Chen Xiao's face turned a little ugly.
"My life is only one hundred cents?"
The boss defended: "It's not low anymore. At the beginning, I offered thirty cents!"
Chen Xiao swung the stick so angrily that he beat the three of them again, and then stopped and immediately let them get out.
Why not send it to the government?
Because the current victims are the three of them half dead so-called killers. Chen Xiao is afraid that he will go to the government, but he will go to jail...
After watching the three killers escape miserably, Chen Xiao snorted coldly:
"Luo Qianqian... I've recorded this revenge and let's play slowly."
At the same time, he was quite puzzled. Who invited those really professional killers to kill him last time?
He had never figured it out, and at this moment, he was too lazy to think about it, so he went back to the house to sleep.
...
Two days passed, and that morning, Chen Wenshan and his wife sent Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling to the carriage of Mr. Bai and Bai Qingqing.
The carriage slowly left, and Chen Xiao embarked on the road to the imperial examination.
However, he didn't know that in the distance, Wei Dianshi and Luo Qianqian looked at Chen Xiao who had left and sneered.
"I don't know how refreshing the scene would be if he came back and saw his family being destroyed..." Luo Qianqian said coldly.
Wei Dianshi smiled: "Then let's wait and see... One month is enough for me to destroy the Chen family. Without Chen Xiao, this scoundrel, we can let go of our hands and feet to deal with the Chen family..."
...
Let’s talk about Chen Xiao.
I talked a lot with Mr. Bai in the carriage.
Mr. Bai told Chen Xiao that he was a professor of the prefecture and was qualified to recommend some outstanding scholars to participate in the provincial examination.
At that time, Chen Xiao will just take his recommendation letter and identity document directly.
Compared, Chen Xiao is very grateful.
Because he knew that it was difficult for a normal scholar to take the provincial examination. He had to be recommended by the local county yamen and county academic teachers and then go to the prefecture to register before he was eligible to participate.
In order to prove that his identity is true, he also has to testify with other scholars to prove that he is himself.
Once it is discovered later that it is an impostor, several scholars who testify to prove their identity will be dealt with as a crime.
Therefore, although there was no ID card in ancient times, errors were never allowed.
And with the recommendation of the professor of the Ministry of Education, these are not problems.
Therefore, Chen Xiao also respects this old man Bai very much.
Along the way, he regarded his preferences and recited two poems related to the scenery with the scenery he saw, which made Mr. Bai very happy and called Chen Xiao a transcendent literary talent.
Qingyang County is not far from the imperial capital. It only took half a day for Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling to go from the imperial capital to Qingyang County.
Now sitting in the carriage, the speed is faster and it will be in one or two hours.
The huge imperial capital shocked Chen Xiao again. In fact, this world is much more prosperous than Chen Xiao imagined in ancient times.
Just this imperial capital alone is said to have a population of millions, which really shocked Chen Xiao.
After entering the city, Mr. Bai's carriage stopped when he arrived at the Imperial Capital Office.
He asked Chen Xiao to wait for a while, and took Chen Xiao's document in. He took it out soon and told Chen Xiao that he would go to the provincial examination before the provincial examination and go directly for the later examination.
Chen Xiao put away the document, bowed respectfully to Mr. Bai, and said, "You are so grateful that I can no longer think of words of gratitude!"
Mr. Bai helped Chen Xiao up: "No need to do this. I am impressed by your literary talent. This little busyness is nothing.
What's more, as a Confucian professor in the Imperial Capital Office, it is also worthwhile to cultivate the rising talents in our province."
Chen Xiao focused his attention and heard Mr. Bai say again: "I originally wanted you to live in my house, but I have recommended you to take the provincial examination. If you are asked to live in the mansion again, when you pass the imperial examination, someone may misunderstand it, so..."
"Students understand that it is better to avoid suspicion before the provincial examination!" Chen Xiao naturally understood.
"Okay, you are not short of money. Just stay in a restaurant near the Gongyuan, which is more convenient." Mr. Bai told again.
Chen Xiao knew it and said goodbye to Mr. Bai and Bai Qingqing. After inquiring about the location of the tribute court, Chen Xiao took Long Jiuling to go.
Soon after, when he arrived near the Gongyuan, Chen Xiao first found a nearby restaurant and prepared to eat something.
After ordering the good food, the two of them started eating.
Originally, Chen Xiao thought that Long Jiuling would be a little unnatural when he returned to the imperial capital. After all, her family was in the imperial capital and her family sent someone to chase her.
But unexpectedly, this girl followed Chen Xiao, heartlessly not worried at all.
With a wry smile, Chen Xiao said, "Girl, eat quickly. After the meal is finished, let's go to the Gongyuan to report."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man next to him looked at Chen Xiao, then came over and sat down and said:
"Brother Taiwan also wants to take the exam? I am the same. I have been here for a few days. I don't know anything about my brother Taiwan. I can ask you, I know everything I know."
As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Chen Xiao said: "I'm thankful for this. Do you know where to report to the Gongyuan?"
The fat man ate the dish: "I don't know!"
"Do you know the provincial examination process?" Chen Xiao asked.
The fat man drank a glass of wine: "I don't know!"
Chen Xiao said: "When will the exam be held and how many days will it be divided into?"
The fat man wiped his mouth: "I don't know!"
Chen Xiao's face turned dark: "Then you know a hammer!"
The fat man smiled awkwardly and said while eating: "It's also the first time I entered the imperial capital. Everyone is a student, so let's communicate."
"You are so clear-headed and unrestrained, you are here to have a free meal, right?" Chen Xiao frowned.
