Chapter 311 Exam Questions, Flying Sword Breaks Soul, Humble Room Inscription!
Late at night, Tianxian Tower.
As the most famous brothel in the inner city of Mocheng, the business here is naturally very hot every night.
Usually when it gets dark, there are bright lights here, and in front of the door and upstairs, there are all beautiful women in tulle, twisting their waists to attract customers.
But today is the imperial examination period.
After dark, the external lights of Tianxian Building did not turn on.
At the same time, there were no enchanting women twisting their waists and making noise on the upper floor in front of the door.
The entire Tianxian Building was quiet.
But being quiet doesn't mean not picking up customers.
Acquainted guests have already come here before the curfew after dark, and went in to drink and watch the show.
Prince Meng of the City Lord's Mansion is one of them.
On the stage, there are oirans playing the piano, artists dancing, and singers who are good at singing, singing the most famous "Water Tune Getou" in Namo City.
With the beauty in his arms, Meng Xianxing drunkenly watched while eating melon seeds.
The two went upstairs and entered the room affectionately.
Two guards followed and stopped at the door, holding the handle of the knife at their waists, guarding one left and one right.
After a while, a woman's scream suddenly came from inside.
The two guards at the door looked at each other again, and when they were about to tease in a low voice, they suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
The expressions of the two of them changed drastically, they hurriedly turned around and kicked open the door with a "bang" and rushed in!
The light in the room was bright, and the woman was sitting on the ground next to the bed without a trace, trembling all over, her face pale, unable to speak.
And on the bed, Mr. Meng's head was already in a different place, the jade pendant on his chest was also broken, and blood was still spraying from his neck.
The two guards were terrified on the spot, and they hurriedly held the drawn knives and searched around the room.
But there was no one else in the room.
Luo Qingzhou killed someone, left Tianxian Road, first went to the sky above the Gongyuan, looked down at the compartment where his body was, and after seeing nothing unusual, Fang Fei went back to the Qin Mansion and put down his things.
When he was going to visit Yuanyang Tower, his heart suddenly moved, and he decided to go to Chengguo Mansion first.
First go explore the road and see the situation.
Not long after, he had already flown to the sky above Chengguo Mansion, and his gaze was fixed on the two round beads on the cornice of the roof.
He immediately used the method of restraining Qi taught to him by that elder sister Yue, and approached slowly from above.
When they were only five meters away, the two round beads still did not respond.
He was relieved, but he didn't land immediately.
It is still very dangerous to go directly like this, maybe there are warriors hiding in the dark and waiting.
He flew to the streets and alleys outside, looked around, and suddenly found a wild cat with pitch-black fur.
Now that he has been promoted to the mid-stage of God Refining Realm, as long as his soul power is sufficient, it is not a problem to possess him many times in a day.
In the Chengguo mansion, Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
"Meow……"
A little wild cat with brown fur blew on the courtyard wall, and then jumped down into the courtyard.
Before landing, his body suddenly turned into two halves.
From the shadow of the eaves, a figure stepped out, looked down, picked up the two halves of the corpse, and threw it out.
The figure with gray hair and slightly stooped body was actually an old nun.
Another small courtyard was silent.
The house was pitch black.
On the beam, hung two white silks tied in knots.
The mother and daughter stood below, hugging each other, talking softly.
"Xiaolou, are you afraid?"
"Mother, Xiaolou is not afraid... As long as I can be with Mother, Xiaolou is not afraid at all..."
"Xiaolou, I'm sorry...it's my mother who is useless and can't protect you..."
The mother and daughter cried together.
After a while, the mother and daughter climbed onto the stool tremblingly. Yang Ping'er hugged her with tears all over her face, hung her on the white silk herself, and cried, "Xiaolou, in the next life, don't be a mother again." dear daughter..."
After finishing speaking, before the little girl could reply, she had already dropped her hand.
The little girl's eyes widened, and she fell vertically there, but she didn't struggle.
Yang Ping'er couldn't bear to watch, and got on another stool.
Immediately, the stool fell to the ground, and the mother and daughter hung there together...
The night was dark and deadly still.
"Whoosh!"
A wild cat with pitch-black fur suddenly jumped in from the window, then jumped onto the table next to it, and then suddenly jumped onto the beam.
It quickly swept to the top of the little girl's head, its sharp teeth pierced through the white silk in an instant, and with a "chi" sound, it shook its head and began to bite quickly.
"Snapped!"
The little girl fell to the ground.
Her face was pale, she breathed hard, covered her neck, raised her head, and looked at the pair of black wild cats on the beam that were shining fluorescently in the dark.
The wild cat began to quickly bite another white silk.
Yang Ping'er's eyes widened, and her legs started kicking feebly.
"Snapped!"
She also fell down and sat on the ground.
After a while, she panted heavily, raised her head, and looked at the beam.
The expressions on the mother and daughter's faces ranged from confusion to astonishment, and then to fear.
On the beam, the wild cat with pitch-black fur was standing there with a pair of cold eyes, looking down at them.
"Meow--"
The little wild cat let out a soft cry.
The mother and daughter trembled all over, hugged each other, raised their heads, and looked at him tremblingly.
Luo Xiaolou tremblingly said: "Mother, Maomao won't let us die..."
Yang Ping'er was full of tears, hugged her tightly and said: "But we have no other way to go...Mother can't just watch you go into the tiger's mouth, that beast will bully you, woo... "
Luo Xiaolou helped her wipe away tears and said: "Mother, let's run away, let's go to Brother Qingzhou, shall we? When Brother Qingzhou wins Juren, we won't be afraid of them..."
Yang Ping'er cried and said: "Xiaolou, we are the Luo family. Even if Qingzhou wins the Juren, he can't control the affairs of the Luo family. It's all my mother's fault. At the beginning... Qingzhou's mother was killed by them. Mother should know that I can't stay here any longer, and mother should have taken you away at that time..."
"Mother..."
Luo Xiaolou said with tears in her eyes: "Or else, let Xiaolou go. After Xiaolou is married, mother will find a way to escape..."
"no no!"
Yang Ping'er hugged her tightly and cried loudly: "Mother would rather die than let that beast hurt you..."
The little wild cat squatted on the beam, silently watching this scene.
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Immediately, a servant girl's voice came: "Second Madam, get up quickly! By Madam's order, we are going to take Miss Xiaolou away."
When the mother and daughter heard this, they immediately stood up.
Yang Ping'er hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, and begged outside with a trembling voice: "Let Xiaolou sleep with me for one night, please."
The maid outside shouted coldly impatiently: "Open the door quickly, Madam's order, how dare you disobey? If you don't open the door again, we are about to hit the door!"
Afraid that they would find Bai Ling, Yang Ping took her daughter out of the room crying, and said to the maid outside the door, "Where are you going to take my little building? Please, don't hurt her..."
"boom!"
The maid outside the door stopped talking nonsense, kicked the door open suddenly, rushed in like a wolf, snatched the little girl out of her arms, and dragged her away.
Yang Ping'er cried and rushed forward to snatch it back, but was stopped by two other maids.
"I don't know what to do!"
The maid who was holding Luo Xiaolou snorted coldly, and immediately took Luo Xiaolou away.
Seeing them go out, the other two maids let go of Yang Ping'er who was crying loudly.
Among them, the servant girl seemed to be a little soft-hearted, and said in a low voice: "Second madam, the eldest madam just received the news that Mr. Meng from the Chengguo Mansion was suddenly killed in the brothel, and the small building should be fine..."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Ping'er's crying stopped abruptly.
"Talking so much, be careful to have your tongue cut off by the lady!"
Another servant girl immediately warned.
The soft-hearted servant girl's expression changed immediately, she didn't dare to speak any more, and left in a hurry.
The two maids quickly left the door and disappeared.
Yang Ping'er was full of tears, and stood at the door blankly. After a long while, Fang murmured, "That beast...is dead? Was it killed?"
The little wild cat on the roof beam had already swept out of the window, and followed the three maids unhurriedly.
Luo Xiaolou was locked alone in another small courtyard.
Three maids guarded it.
The little wild cat jumped on the roof, lifted the tiles, and jumped into the room from the beams.
Luo Xiaolou was wearing a red dress and was sitting on the corner of the bed with her knees hugged, crying silently.
The three maids stood in the corridor outside the door, chatting in low voices.
The little wild cat jumped onto the bed soundlessly.
When Luo Xiaolou saw it, he trembled in fright, opened his eyes wide, and looked at it with tears in his eyes.
With gentle eyes, the little wild cat slowly approached her, and its amber eyes met hers, signaling her not to be afraid.
Luo Xiaolou seemed to feel its kindness, slowly stretched out his hand, hugged it, then hugged it in his arms, kissed its head, with tears in his eyes, and said to its ear: "Maomao, thank you You...thank you for saving me and my mother..."
The little wild cat stretched out its soft paws, stroked her little face slowly, and helped her wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
Luo Xiaolou opened his eyes wide, staring at it blankly.
The little wild cat hesitated for a moment, then gently scratched her palm with its paws, and wrote on it.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."
I wrote it several times.
Luo Xiaolou finally saw clearly, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...you..."
The little wild cat didn't stay any longer, and immediately jumped out of her arms, several jumps, and jumped onto the beam above her head.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped from the beam to the roof.
After observing the roof for a while, his eyes fell on the courtyard where the eldest lady lived and the courtyard where Luo Yu lived.
Those two places were shone with a very strong blood light, like a flame burning, obviously guarded by master warriors.
He didn't dare to run around anymore, he left the Chengguo Mansion, and ran towards the Gongyuan along the corner of the street.
The physical body is too far away, and no one is watching, so my heart is always restless.
Not long after, I came to the examination room of the Gongyuan.
Sticking to the corner of the wall, he looked around and listened to the movement for a while, then jumped up the courtyard wall, and then fell down silently.
Walking along the corner, avoiding the patrol personnel at night, and quickly got into the compartment where the body was.
Immediately, the soul returns to the body.
This was a sigh of relief.
The little black cat froze in the cubicle for a while, then Fang quickly jumped out, jumped onto the courtyard wall, was seen by several guards, and then jumped out.
The two guards quickly chased it out, observed for a while, and came back when they saw nothing unusual.
Luo Qingzhou fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, the third test began.
At this time, many candidates couldn't hold on any longer. They held their last breath and began to work hard on the questions.
The test papers were handed out.
Luo Qingzhou studied ink quietly, and after a while, Fang looked at the first question.
It is still the content recited in the book.
Then, give a sentence and write an argument based on the current political situation, at least [-] words.
After Luo Qingzhou finished writing, he turned to the next question.
This question suddenly made his heart skip a beat.
"How do you view the current court's debate over Dayan's hereditary title? Who is right and who is wrong? Express your opinion truthfully, at least five hundred words."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the question and pondered for a long while before dipping his pen in the ink and answering it truthfully.
He also discussed this topic with the eldest princess and the second lady.
Families with titles are mostly after meritorious service, which is what they deserve.
It is precisely because of this title that there are countless people who are not afraid of sacrifice and serve the country and the people.
Didn't Li Guang at the beginning just want to be named a Marquis, so he desperately killed the enemy?
However, after three generations of inheritance, if the descendants only know how to eat, drink and play, wasting the state salary in vain, naturally it should not be.
At least one member of the family should show his value to the country, so he should continue to enjoy the original title and salary.
Otherwise, there will be corpses and vegetarian meals everywhere. They only know how to enjoy and don't know how to do things, and the country will end sooner or later.
The topic is sensitive right now.
There is one faction of the eldest princess, and another faction of court ministers, princes and nobles.
What the eldest princess proposed was not to directly abolish hereditary titles, but to abolish those family titles that have been inherited for three generations, but no one in the family has the ability to contribute to the country and the people.
So Luo Qingzhou actually supported it.
However, he also knows that in the current imperial court, there are very few people who support the eldest princess, and most of them are opposed, otherwise this policy will not be difficult to carry on.
Luo Qingzhou didn't shy away from it, and told the truth, and answered it quickly.
The next question is "How to increase the population of a county without reducing taxes?"
Luo Qingzhou had seen this question too much in his previous life, so after pondering for a while, he answered it.
Encourage agriculture and business, develop the economy, use various local resource trades, so that people have things to do, food to eat, and places to live. At the same time, various crimes are combated, so that the people in the jurisdiction can live and work in peace and contentment.
The people's living conditions are better and the burden is less, so they will naturally be happy to have babies. At the same time, the people in neighboring counties and prefectures will naturally flock here and settle here...
Luo Qingzhou quickly wrote a long article.
The last question is to write an article in the form of parallel prose.
The content is not limited and the number of characters is not limited.
Parallel prose is a style that every reader will know. A chapter is formed by pairing words and sentences in pairs.
Luo Qingzhou searched carefully in his mind before he settled down.
After a while of meditation, I picked up a pen and dipped in ink and wrote: "If the mountain is not high, there will be a name if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be a dragon if there is a dragon. This is a humble room, but my virtue..."
After answering all the questions, it was already afternoon.
He checked it carefully several times, and Fang sat quietly, waiting for the paper to be collected.
The closing time is relatively early today.
In the evening, the bell rang and the exam was over.
When the test papers were put away one by one, Luo Qingzhou clearly heard various voices coming from each compartment.
There were crying, chest beating, self-slapping, and self-satisfied laughter.
Luo Qingzhou put away his things, went out of the cubicle, and prepared to go out.
Outside the tribute courtyard, many parents and relatives of candidates had already gathered, waiting eagerly.
Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, then turned back.
When the rest of the candidates had almost left, Fang Fang slowly walked outside.
At this time, not only the people from the Qin Mansion were waiting anxiously outside for him, but the servants from the Cheng Guo Mansion were also watching from the crowd.
Luo Qingzhou staggered, just as he walked out of the door, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
Song Ruyue, who was staring at the door in the crowd, was startled, and hurriedly said: "Quick! Go and help me up!"
The maids and servants all rushed to the door.
But just after running a few steps, Luo Qingzhou, who was lying on the ground, was picked up by a slender figure in a light green dress.
She held the sword, her pretty face was cold, and no one dared to approach her.
Xiaodie and Qiu'er ran over and followed her.
Song Ruyue immediately led them to the carriage.
Soon.
The eldest wife of the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, got the news.
"The boy just left the examination room, he vomited blood and passed out, and was carried back by someone... It seems that he is very sick..."
Wang Cheng said again: "Depending on the situation, that kid has been sick for a long time. I guess he failed to solve a few of those questions. He must have failed this time..."
With a sullen face, Wang took a sip of tea and said, "Is it the day after tomorrow that the list will be released?"
Wang Chengdao: "Yes."
Wang didn't speak any more.
Wang Cheng glanced at her, bowed and retreated.
Mrs. Wang sat in the hall for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go and see how Yu'er is doing. There are still two days left, and Yu'er should be able to hold her breath."
An old nanny walked out of the corridor, and a strong maid followed her silently.
Luo Qingzhou was carried back to the Qin residence by Xia Chan.
As soon as he entered the room, he took the opportunity to bite the girl's ear, and said in a low voice: "Chanchan, don't worry, my uncle is just pretending."
