Chat Group of Myriad Worlds of Tang Dynasty

Wang Dalu was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground, and on the floor under his feet, one after another Datang bank notes appeared in his hand.

This is Datang Hengtong's bank note, and it can be exchanged for silver taels when you arrive in Jiangxi.

10 taels, this is an astronomical figure.

He can directly buy an official in Jiangxi, basically without worrying about any consequences.

He wanted to refuse, he had the pride of a scholar, but he couldn't refuse.

It has been less than a month since the exam started, he gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and packed his luggage overnight.

In the early morning, just after breakfast, Wang Dalu heard some bad rumors.

"Oh, you don't know. A scholar had his leg broken last night. It was so miserable. Fortunately, a kind person left some money, but the money can only be spent for a while. After a year, this person is gone. .”

"Isn't that right? There seemed to be strange noises coming from my yard last night. I sneaked a look. Some scholars were knocked out and put into sacks."

"Isn't this going to be thrown into the Wei River?"

"That's not true. I know one of those people. He is a tenant at the dock."

"It's just that I know what's going on at the pier. Few people can hide from it. If it's thrown into the water, it won't just disappear."

Wang Dalu's heart trembled for a while, and he became a little unwell.

At the other table were two scholars. The two of them looked at the nearby Suzaku Street with confidence.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be in the top [-] in this exam."

"Are you so confident?"

"Hey, my family spent 50 taels to bribe the examiner."

Another scholar was a little surprised: "Didn't the examiner be appointed by His Majesty?"

"That's not necessarily true, except for the person appointed by His Majesty, all of them have been bribed."

Wang Dalu became more and more disheartened, and his whole body became irritable. He suddenly felt very lucky that he could still run away with 10 taels.

When he left the city, he saw a lot of strange people, those people were vicious, and there seemed to be something covered with straw mats on the donkey cart, full of blood.

Wang Dalu hurriedly left, he wanted to leave this Chang'an early, this Chang'an was not the Chang'an in his dream.

Maybe, but not now.

After Ma Zhou heard the news, he reported it to Li Ke with a stern expression on his face.

"Your Highness, Ma Zhou couldn't bear it because they acted so recklessly."

Li Ke nodded: "You are right, I can't bear it, what are you going to do?"

Ma Zhou was stunned and froze in place, yes, what should we do?

Anger is anger, so what about grief?
It is a fact that candidates were framed and driven away by these people. If you want to change this ending, you have to come up with your own methods.

The imperial examination is coming soon, and everything must return to normal.

"Your Highness, it's really impossible, after the imperial examination is over..."

Li Ke was decisive, and the imperial examination was over, so a bigger pot came.

At that time, Qiwang of the five surnames will throw out a young man, and he will be convicted, and there will be malpractice for personal gain in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination reform, which cannot be erased.

At that time, Ma Zhou had to die, and the emperor could live, but he was half dead.

Li Ke smiled: "Starting tomorrow, in the candidate information column, plus the recent bizarre situation, to promote candidates, those people will also be beaten."

Ma Zhou's eyes lit up: "Are you using newspapers?"

"Use newspaper, of course! It's time to unsheath this sword."

Li Ke smiled.

In the Cui family's mansion, above the central hall, the people from the five major families were very happy.

Zheng Youlai stroked his beard: "Today I drove away more than a dozen examinees, all for money, and everything is safe."

Hearing this, Wang Gui said indifferently: "I killed a dozen people last night, and those ten people basically won't appear anywhere, and their tails have been wiped out."

Lu Qingfeng had a serious face: "The expense is so huge, I have already taken care of it with the examiner."

Li Chengru was full of confidence: "The time and place are right and the people are harmonious. Who can fight with us? I have sent someone to release the news that Ma Zhou, the chief examiner, has a problem."

Several people looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was under control.

In Chang'an City, the morning newspapers are always the most popular.

Scholars like to read newspapers, and ordinary people also like to read newspapers. Even if you don't want to buy them, you can go to listen to Mr. Wenshu who said that you can listen to a whole page for a penny.

Those who are illiterate will ask their teacher to read it to them.

In today's newspaper, there was an extra column of candidates' news, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Outside the number, outside the number, a candidate has disappeared recently, other candidates need to pay attention."

"Anecdotally, the examinee had his leg broken and was thrown outside Chang'an City. It was extremely tragic."

……

The line-by-line news was extremely horrifying, and the candidates were panicked.

In the teahouse, several examinees gathered together tremblingly: "No, let's just take the test and try to gain fame, so why would we lose our hands and feet?"

"It's too scary, Chang'an is too scary, I want to go home."

"Hey, didn't your family make connections for you?"

"You don't know, it's not a matter of relationship or not. Recently, the examiner who got through with my family has disappeared."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, completely devoid of energy.

This kind of thing is a huge blow.

Ma Zhou looked at the first ensemble in the newspaper with a smile on his face.

This is just the first trick, there is a second trick, and a third trick, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it.

Cui Mingan looked at the newspaper with contempt on his face: "That's it? The new chief examiner of Datang released this thing, can the candidates be appeased?"

"The plan continues to be implemented and cannot be stopped!"

A day later, when the newspaper was published, Chang'an was quiet.

Mr. Storyteller looked at the big characters in the newspaper and fell into deep thought. He didn't dare to say this.

After the common people saw it, those who could read hurriedly ran home to watch it secretly.

Those who could not read asked others to read it to themselves, but no one dared to read it. They just urged him to go home quickly and not cause trouble.

In the newspaper, there was a huge headline on the front page: "Five Surnames and Seven Looks, Vegetarian Meals in Corpse Places, Is that so?"

It means that these people are vegetarians, do not do good things, and have a very high position, is it appropriate?

Certainly not suitable!

But who dares to speak the first sentence?
People are like this, but scholars are different.

It is said that the book business reprimands Fang Qiu angrily, which is called courageous.

In the restaurant, more than a dozen candidates gathered, their faces were solemn, and they looked at the titles and articles above one by one, scolding in their hearts.

But he couldn't speak, the suppressed anger could only turn into strong wine, it was too hot in his throat.

On the third day, everything is ready.

An article written by Ma Zhou, "The Contribution of the Imperial Examination to the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as this article came out, Chang'an was excited.

Everyone looked at the newspaper in front of them and fell into deep thought.

Especially scholars, they were completely ignited.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Your Majesty wants the imperial examination, so it's for us to have a bright future."

"Brother, you are right, but the problem is, the five surnames and Qiwang are not willing. Isn't there a lot of things happening these days?"

These words, like dynamite, ignited everyone's emotions.
