Several examinees were already standing at the door of the ceremony room, queuing up in an orderly manner with their own test baskets.

Li Baolu jumped out of the mule cart first, and then helped Zhao Ning get the test basket after helping Gu Jingyun, and the two lined up on both sides.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Ning waved to her and said, "Siblings, go back first, we can handle the rest by ourselves."

"I want to watch you enter the examination room." Although there are officials guarding the entrance of the ceremony room, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, and she is worried if she doesn't watch people enter the examination room.

The three of them stood for a while, and then the number gradually increased. Everyone saw that the line had been lined up far away, and immediately ran over. There were family members who saw them off, and some who were accompanied by book boys.

As soon as the time came, the door of the ceremony room was slowly opened, and two rows of soldiers rushed out and rang the big bell at the door of the ceremony room.

An examiner, wearing a make-up uniform, took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Bingshen year, Guangdong Fuxiang Examination starts at the time of the examination, and it closes at that time. Candidates who do not enter the examination room after the time limit will give up the examination. Candidates who enter the examination room will not be allowed to enter the examination hall. Bring books, notes, etc..."

The examiner read the precautions for the exam like Hong Zhong, and after the reading, he asked the candidates to line up for the examination and then they were on the scene.

Examinations and inspections are not as strict as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties now, but you have to take off your coat to enter the venue, and only wear your inner clothes for inspection.

Yamen servants will check whether there is entrainment, whether there is a cheat sheet on the clothes, and the food brought in will also be opened for inspection.

Zhao Ning's steamed bun was cut into four pieces with a knife, and he was put in after confirming that there was nothing inside.

Since Gu Jingyun only brought rice and flour, he only needed to pour them out for inspection.

Gu Jingyun repacked the things that had been poured out, then walked to the side and bent down to put on the shoes that he had taken off. He turned around to look at Li Baolu, and waved to her without wearing a coat, "Go back."

Li Baolu nodded but did not move.

Gu Jingyun didn't urge her, he put on his clothes and tidied up his clothes before entering the arena with Zhao Ning.

They can choose the number room first when they enter the field.

The two looked over one by one, and after a comparison, they chose two rooms with opposite numbers.

But Li Baolu turned to leave after seeing them go in, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Ou Dunyi in the middle of the line.

Ou Dunyi also saw her, his eyes flickered slightly, he only glanced at her and then hurriedly looked away.

Li Baolu glanced at the examinees around him, remembered all the people around him in his mind, and then left.

There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and some candidates who got up late hurriedly rushed to the examination room with their test baskets, and the pedestrians on the side of the road kindly gave way to them.

Li Baolu picked up her light work and flew past the pedestrians on the road and flew towards her home, only to find that half of the street was blocked, and there was a quarrel coming from inside.

Li Baolu heard Shun Xin's voice, and she immediately pushed through the crowd to get in.

Shun Xin grabbed the clothes of one person in a bit of embarrassment, and shouted: "You must go with me to meet the officer, you bumped into me on purpose."

The caught man was full of flesh, pushing and shoving and saying: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? Why did I hit you on purpose? It's obviously your car that blocked the way of the master. See the officer? If the master doesn't ask you to pay, it's fine." Not bad..."

Li Baolu withdrew from the crowd, glanced at the crowd, and saw people mixed in the crowd, who seemed to be surrounded by her own carriage.

She sneered, went out and found a fortune-telling booth, borrowed a pen and paper from him and wrote a small note, recruited a little beggar and said: "You can deliver a letter for me, how about I give you fifty cents? "

The little beggar's eyes lit up, "Who does Miss send the letter to?"

"Do you know the ceremony room?"

The little beggar nodded fiercely, "Scholars are going to take an exam in the ceremony room today."

"Very good, then do you know Ou Dunyi, the young master of the Tongpan family?"

"I don't know him, but the young ones can figure it out."

"must?"

"must!"

"Okay, if you can come back within two quarters of an hour and describe to me what Odun Yi looks like, I'll give you another fifty coins." Li Baolu handed him the fifty coins and the note, and patted him with a smile. His head: "Go."

The little beggar immediately turned around and ran to find his companions, and ran towards the ceremony room together with them.

The corner of Li Baolu's mouth twitched, didn't you want my Jing Yun not to enter the examination room?

I let you enter the examination room and feel uneasy.

I'd like to see how you treat the people behind the scenes who give you advice after you come out.

The dispute between Shun Xin and that flesh-faced man had reached a fever pitch, and they were about to face each other.

Li Baolu squeezed in and grabbed Xiang Shunxin's fist, then twisted back, and hit his knee hard with one foot, making him kneel down with a "plop"...

The onlookers are all dumbfounded, things are going too fast, they didn't see clearly, please demonstrate again.

Shun Xin seemed to have a backer, and jumped up and pointed at the man and Li Baolu to complain, "Mrs. Gu, he was the one who drove into our car, and Hong Zao almost went crazy from fright. Running wildly on the street, bumping and injuring people is minor."

The onlookers were all stunned when they heard the words, and they looked at the man fiercely.

They also saw the situation just now, the young man was driving in a leisurely manner, and when he reached the intersection, the man rushed out with a carriage and directly bumped into it, both horses were frightened.

Because the man's carriage was blocked by this cart, although the horse neighed like crazy, it couldn't rush out, and the boy's carriage rushed forward for a long time before stopping. Even if the horse is reined in, I'm afraid it will really hit someone to death.

Li Baolu held down the man, glanced at the crowd, and said coldly: "Young master's accidents have continued these past few days, I wonder if you are also the same as the previous few accidents?"

The man blushed, stiffened his neck and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, it was your carriage blocking the way, and I accidentally bumped into it."

"Since each insists on its own opinion, let's meet in the yamen." Li Baolu reached out and tore off his belt, tied his hands, picked them up and threw them on the car, and said to Shun Xin, "Take him to the yamen." , sue him for premeditated murder."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the people surrounding the carriage gathered around one after another.

The corners of Li Baolu's mouth curled up, and she clenched her fists and said inwardly: From the time Croton appeared at home to Gu Jingyun's constant accidents when she went out, she had accumulated a lot of anger in her heart.

They came straight to your door.

Li Baolu winked at Shun Xin and let him get into the carriage.

Shunxin climbed into the carriage, and one of them yelled: "Why do you arrest people, don't want to retaliate in private, it's just a collision, you didn't get hurt, just annoy each other and it's over."

Li Baolu ignored him, glanced at the crowd, and was sure that those who had problems had squeezed forward, and she dodged to one person's side, shook hands and punched him on the waist, grabbed the person's belt and threw it in the middle Go, she moved quickly and struck ruthlessly. Before those people could react, they were thrown in front of the carriage like an arhat.

Everyone was stunned, Qi Qi stepped back for a walk, looking at Li Baolu in fear.

Li Baolu stepped on the back of the top person, and sneered at the layers of arhats underneath, "You think my husband is in the carriage? Let me tell you, my husband has already entered the examination room. I know that your master is powerful, but No matter how powerful you are, can you harm my husband in the examination room?"

The eyes of the onlookers were bright, and they looked at Li Baolu with piercing eyes, hoping that she would reveal more.

Li Baolu didn't speak any more, but fulfilled her expectations, she hopped on the carriage and said, "You think you can delay my son and Mr. Gu from entering the examination room by stopping me? Let me tell you, we have expected you to do this. I walked to the examination room early, this carriage is for you to be hooked, if you are honest, hurry up and find out who is behind the scenes, otherwise, when my young master and young master Gu go to high school, you will look good."

The men who were stacked shut up and stared at Li Baolu with eyes full of resentment, while the man who was pressed at the bottom rolled his eyes and completely passed out.

Li Baolu sighed when she saw this, and said to the crowd, "I surprised everyone today, and I'm here to apologize."

Everyone wanted to watch the excitement, so they all suggested: "Little lady, take him to the government office, hindering his future is a crime of thunder and lightning, and he should go to the 18th floor of hell."

"That's right, that's right, we should send it to the government office so that the magistrate can find out the person behind the scenes. If such a vicious person becomes an official, won't it be a disaster for our common people?"

The onlookers are not stupid, who would stop others from taking the exam?

That must be the person who is also taking the exam!

The onlookers enthusiastically helped Li Baolu escort her to the government office.

Zhou Yi was so busy, it was autumn harvest time, and there was a visit from the Western Mission. The most important thing was that he and the generals of the Guangzhou Garrison were responsible for the security of the rural examination.

Fortunately, there can be no accidents in the rural examination. Today is the day when candidates enter the examination hall. Zhou Yi naturally got up to sit in the town before dawn. Now that the candidates have entered the examination room in an orderly manner, he only half-hearted Putting it down, people from the government office came to report, saying that a group of enthusiastic people had caught the saboteurs who sabotaged the rural examination, and they were waiting for the adults to go back and interrogate them.

Zhou Yi raised his heart again, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

And Ou Dunyi, who had already passed the inspection and entered the examination room, was full of frost, and swept the crowd nervously. After seeing the person he was looking for, he quickly stepped forward, avoiding the eyes of the yamen servant, and said fiercely: "Yuan Fang , What kind of bad idea did you come up with, Gu Jingyun not only entered the examination room ahead of time, they even suspected us!"

Yuan Fang's face trembled, and she almost couldn't maintain the faint smile on her face.

He glanced at the crowd, lowered his head and whispered: "What are you talking about, young master? Since you entered the examination room, you should concentrate on the examination, and it will not be too late to deal with other chores after you leave."

A cold light flashed in Ou Dunyi's eyes, and he threatened in a low voice: "Yuan Fang, although I ordered the matter to go on, you came up with the idea, don't think I can't hear you teasing me, it's just that I don't bother to argue with you, But if you want to stay out of it, don't even think about it. Gu Jingyun became a talent at a young age, and we can't find out his background. If I can't help it, don't even think about it."
