Chapter 276 Preliminary Assessment

Han Jian and Erzhu walked forward with the registered team. Because there were too many people, the team was moving very slowly. It was finally time to the end of dusk that they arrived in front of the team and held the assessors.

The person responsible for the preliminary review and assessment was some officials from the Nanwang Mansion. They all looked very serious, and there seemed to be a few words written on their faces: "Is there any money?"

Han Jian and Erzhu arrived in front. Two examiners from their team glanced at Han Jian and Erzhu and said, "Do you recognize words?"

"If you say that Master Guan is not aware of your words, Erzhu replied honestly.

"Why don't you recognize words and come to join in the fun? Let's go away!" the official shouted.

Han Jian pulled Erzhu and smiled and said, "This official heard it wrong. He said, how could he not recognize words?"

"Recognize the words?" The official official glanced at Han Jian. After all, Han Jian looked gentle and looked like a scholar. The second pillar looked like a big and thick, and he didn't look like a scholar.

"Then write a poem." The official said directly.

"Writing poetry?" This time Erzhu was stunned. How could he write poetry?

Han Jian took a step forward and said, "Can you see this song OK? The bright moonlight in front of the window is suspected to be frost on the ground. He looked up at the bright moon and thought of his hometown."

"What kind of nonsense poems? Just the bright moonlight, the one who misses his hometown, and he is also embarrassed to come and be the county horse of the Southern Prince's Mansion? You guy is crazy, right?" said the official said with a disdainful look.

Han Jian smiled bitterly in his heart. It was obvious that he wanted money. As for which masterpiece was the masterpiece of the predecessor, what did these officials know? They just opened their mouths and had the final say?

Han Jian was very "understand the truth" and hurriedly took out two cents of silver from his arms. He handed it forward. The official judge weighed it and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that your level of writing poetry is pretty good. I wonder if you are proficient in boxing, footwork and martial arts?"

Han Jianxin said that when the Nanwang Mansion recruits a son-in-law, he also needs to find a "talent" who is both civil and military, but this is exactly what he likes.

"In terms of the skills... it's average." Of course, Han Jian should be more modest, so as not to make these officials feel unhappy and stop him.

"That's not...a little more?" The official's hand stretched out again.

Han Jian understood, what is the primary election? It is simply who is willing to spend money to pass the test.

But Han Jian naturally would not be stingy with this little money. He took out two cents of money, and the official nodded with satisfaction and said, "Pass!"

Before Erzhu could react, Han Jian pulled him forward. The two took a red book sticker and went straight into the Dongcheng Yamen. When they arrived, there were already many candidates who passed the primary election waiting in line. Han Jian signaled Erzhu not to say too much, stand in the crowd, and wait for further arrangements.

"Brother Han, why do I feel... so cautious?" Erzhu was silent for a while, but still couldn't help but say to Han Jian.

"Naturally, just think that we are here to eat and drink. If you have no momentum, others will think that you are weak and will definitely not do what we wish." Han Jian said straight.

"That's right." Erzhu also imitated Han Jian to straighten his chest and tighten his abdomen.

Seeing the dusk, the first day's primary election was over. Officials came in one after another, closed the door of the Dongcheng Yamen, and began to check the books on the hands of the primary election one by one. After the inspection, they began to settle down.

"...This is in the government office. If anyone is not honest and walks around, don't talk about serving the board!" Guanchao said with a loud voice.

The crowd was sparse, and Han Jian and Erzhu followed the crowd to the place where they lived and realized that they were just a preparation for the whole shop. This time, those who had passed the first pass were all people with some family background. They couldn't help but complain when they saw the residence in front of them.

"This place is good." Erzhu said excitedly at that time.

Han Jian knew what Erzhu was excited about. Living in such a bunk bed was obviously much better than living in a dilapidated temple.

After the primary election and some of the wealthy family members went to bribe the official, hoping to change to a better place to live, while those with a little less family income have already started to clean up the place to rest. Nowadays, at night, it will be sunset. After all, candles and tung oil lamps can not be lit, so it is better not to lit them.

Han Jian had no requirements for the place where he lived. After everyone settled down, the official sent him a meal, which was just rice and a bowl of dishes. Han Jian and Erzhu had eaten them and went to bed directly. Han Jian was very tired after leaving these days and wanted to rest early to nourish his energy.

In the middle of the night, Erzhu was still asleep, but Han Jian woke up first. At this time, the people living in the bunk shop had just passed 40% or 50% of the first-time candidates. The people who spoke flags either made the relationship between officials and changed to a good place to sleep, or went home and came back the next day. Han Jian felt the darkness out of the room. The lights outside were dim, but he could still vaguely tell the road. Han Jian intended to visit the Nanwang Mansion at night, so it was just a stopgap measure and not his main purpose.

The officials were not very concerned about these people who responded to the primary election. They only regarded this as a good opportunity to make money. Naturally, they did not believe that the son-in-law of the Nanwang Mansion would come from these people in the future. At night, the officials who were supposed to be vigil gathered together to drink wine and gamble, and the entire Dongcheng Yamen was also a bit quiet and weird.

Han Jian had already inquired about the location of the Nanwang Mansion in Yuzhou City earlier. He found a piece of cloth to cover his face and wanted to go to the Nanwang Mansion to find Yang Ronger at night. He had just arrived outside the Dongcheng Yamen, and before he could set off, he saw a team of officers and soldiers coming from the east city with you. The group was in a hurry, as if he had just completed some important task.

With a large number of officers and soldiers there, Han Jian naturally didn't want to show his head, so he hid in the dark to observe the situation.

After a while, the team of officers and soldiers had already arrived, and several people were also disembarking. Han Jian from afar heard a man complaining, "I'm finally back."

When Han Jian heard this voice, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It was none other than that, he was a brother to him and had many contacts along the way.

On the night when Yang Xun'er left, Han Jian rode his horse to chase him out. In fact, Han Jian and Yang Xun'er did not walk fast all the way, mainly because of the pursuit of mysterious people and Yang Xun'er's injuries, which made them walk slowly in the next period of time. Han Jian thought that after Yang Xun'er set off alone, the queen also sent back Huang Lie and the escort troops from the Nanwang Mansion. Huang Lie returned to Yuzhou and came to Yuzhou with Han Jian.

"General Huang, are you not going back to the General's Mansion?" A guard asked Huang Lie.

"If you don't go back, let's go to Dongcheng Yamen for a night. I'm very familiar with the young prison in Dongcheng Yamen. You can go back to the barracks first." Huang Lie said to the guards.

Han Jianxin said that the reason why Huang Lie did not dare to go back to the general's mansion to see his grandfather and father was because he was also afraid of being held accountable afterwards. At that time, the Southern King Yang Luochuan sent Huang Lie to Maocheng to bring Han Jian back to Yuzhou, but Huang Lie failed to complete the task and went north with Yang Ronger to Luoyang City.

Huang Lie's intention was not to help Han Jian, but to find "Ms. Lin". After knowing that "Ms. Lin"'s identity was not simple, Huang Lie was also a little discouraged. This time, Yang Ronger left without saying goodbye. He was afraid of taking responsibility, so he returned to Yuzhou to pass the house and did not dare to enter.

After Huang Lie said that, the guards of the brigade boarded their horses and headed far away, while Huang Lie came to the entrance of the Dongcheng Yamen.

Huang Lie looked at the entrance of the yamen. There were only two lanterns hanging, and he couldn't even see his personal figure. He seemed a little depressed. He was about to enter the door, but someone pulled him, but he was about to scream but was covered by someone's mouth.

"Woo..." Huang Lie thought he was kidnapped and screamed, but he couldn't make a sound because his mouth was covered.

"It's me." Han Jian said, letting go of his hand and taking off the cloth covered on his face.

"Brother Han?" Huang Lie was really shocked when he saw Han Jian. When he rubbed his eyes and saw clearly, he said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"This is not a place to talk, find a secluded place to talk." Han Jian said.

"I understand." Huang Lie followed Han Jian happily, and the two walked through the street outside the Dongcheng Yamen, and arrived at an alley, and then stopped.

Just after stopping, before Huang Lie could ask, Han Jian said first: "Why are you back?"

Huang Lie said with a sad face: "My cousin left that day, and you left without saying anything. The next day, the emperor got angry, and the princess of the county was a little angry... Alas! Anyway, they said that the people from our Nanwang Mansion had also completed the task. It is time to return to Yuzhou, so let us leave... Actually, I don't want to come back!"

Huang Lie said something a little confused, but Han Jian also understood it, roughly the same as what he thought. When he arrived at the territory of the Southern Prince's Mansion, the Southern Prince's Mansion had troops to protect the queen. The princess and the queen were worried that the people in the Southern Prince's Mansion would have any evil actions, so he found an excuse to fight them back to Yuzhou.

"Brother Han, why are you here?"

Han Jian roughly explained the situation, but he did not explain part of the progress of his relationship with Yang Ronger. He only said that he was not allowed to chase Yang Ronger, and he came all the way to Yuzhou and was not allowed to go back.

"Brother Han, if you can't go back, why don't you... go with me to meet my uncle?" Huang Lie asked with a blink of an eye.

Han Jian knew that this kid was not kind. After all, Huang Lie had not completed the task assigned to him by the King of Southern, but Han Jian "got into the trap" and came to him in person. He thought about letting Han Jian meet the King of Southern, so that his mission would be completed in disguise.

"I came to recruit your cousin for your cousin." Han Jian said.

Huang Lie slapped his forehead and said, "Brother Han, I forgot if I didn't say it. As soon as I came back, I heard from the people below that my uncle wanted to recruit my cousin. This is a bit strange. Even if someone mentioned the son-in-law to my uncle, my uncle was very tough and he looked like he wanted to kill someone. Brother Han, you... weren't you the idea of ​​hitting my cousin?"

"What do you think about Mr. Huang?" Han Jian looked at Huang Lie and said, "Master Huang, if you want to get close to the water, you will get the moon first?"

Huang Lie thought about the meaning of Han Jian's words, and then smiled and said, "My cousin... is too domineering and not suitable for me. If Brother Han, you want to go with my cousin... I, Mr. Huang, absolutely support me!"

Han Jian patted Huang Lie on the shoulder and said, "With Brother Huang's words, I didn't make friends with you, my friend." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
