The sky gradually showed a glimmer of dawn without realizing it, but the Hongyan Pagoda had completely collapsed.
When a group of people who discovered the situation here arrived, the magnificent Hongyan Pagoda had been turned into a pile of rubble. Among the broken bricks and tiles, green smoke curled up in the house, and the remaining fire was not extinguished.
The Hongyan Pagoda was an ancestral temple tower dedicated to the martyrs of Hangzhou. It was destroyed in the fire. Some people burst into tears on the spot. Of course, the rest of the people immediately went to the government to report.
The people in Hangzhou's helm and the men in black have all left here.
Chen Fu easily killed Lan Muyan with an extremely relaxed method. This frightened the people in black to the extreme. Only in Chen Fu's weird eyes, all the people in black were aware of it.
Left here.
No one really wants to die.
Hangzhou Fuya Inn.
Xue Poye sat quietly by the window, looking at the drizzle falling outside. The sky had just brightened, but his heart was getting darker and darker.
It was another narrow escape. If Chen Fu hadn't appeared in time, he might have been buried in the sea of fire, or his bones would have been wiped out under the influence of the carrion water.
The light rain outside the window made Xue Poye's thoughts gradually get better.
It was necessary for him to correct his position. Although he was still the helmsman of Qinglianzhao's Hangzhou branch, after last night's battle, he now didn't know the reason for continuing to stay in this position.
Continue to be loyal to Yang Yao?
Xue Poye already had deep doubts about this unmasked chief helmsman, and huge cracks had appeared in his heart about that tall and mysterious image.
Although joining Qinglianzhao was accidental, after entering the leadership of Qinglianzhao, Xue Poye really wanted to do what he could for these people living in the dark, and he also tried his best to work hard in this regard.
The results may not be ideal, but at any rate, with his own efforts, the monetary income of the Hangzhou Branch has increased sharply. In addition, he has conquered hundreds of people in Moyun Village. This is of course a very good achievement.
For a new helmsman who has just taken office, these achievements are enough for him to leave a tall image in the hearts of the brothers at the Hangzhou branch.
However, when he met Hua Xian in Kyoto and used an almost despicable method to poison himself, Xue Poye was already angry. In addition, this time he was ambushed by the killers of the Chief Helmet and Xing Ertang.
No matter how good-tempered Ye is, he still has to feel disgusted.
He felt that if he continued to be loyal to the chief helm, he would be worse than a stupid pig.
Man is a knife maggot, but I cannot be a fish!
Xue Poye even believed for sure that the chief rudder's assassination campaign against the Hangzhou sub-rudder was definitely not over, and there might be even crazier assassination operations in the future, so he felt it was necessary to use the power of the government to resist Qinglianzhao's assassination.
This was really a ridiculous thing, but it forced him to do it.
When they broke up, Xue Poye told Qian Hong and others to protect themselves, because Leng Yanyun would never give up on Hangzhou because of Chen Fu's appearance. Those who want to achieve great things will certainly not back down because of resistance.
Regarding the Green Lady, Xue Poye was quite relieved. After all, with Chen Fu by her side, there were really no one in the world who could hurt him.
"Chen Fu...!"
It’s not easy to ask.
In the post house, the Yulin guards also gathered together, drinking wine and listening to the light rain falling outside, without saying much.
Any one of them will receive special courtesy in the local state capital. Because their status as His Majesty's Royal Guards makes them the most special military force in the Chu Kingdom, so in the post house in Hangzhou, they drink
What we drink is the best wine in Hangzhou, and what we eat is also the most delicious food in Hangzhou.
At noon, Xiao Shitou came to the post house and woke up Xue Poye, who had fallen asleep. Xue Poye woke up after hearing Xiao Shitou's reminder that there was still an exam waiting for him today.
For Xiao Suzhen, he could only drag his still exhausted body with Xiao Shitou to Baili Academy. After leaving the post house, he saw You Shaoqing waiting respectfully outside.
Xiao Shitou could enter and exit the post house freely, but You Shaoqing did not have this power and could only stand outside the door and wait.
Xiao Shitou was obviously very familiar with You Shaoqing. They were like close friends. They told some weird and anecdotes on the road. Of course, You Shaoqing said it and Xiao Shitou listened.
Xiao Shitou was obviously very interested in these weird and bizarre things, but to Xue Poye's ears, these weird things could only be regarded as pediatrics.
It was compiled in this era, and I don’t know what kind of repercussions it will cause.
"Sir, Mr. Chen Yin went to Baili Academy in person to preside over the exam today." You Shaoqing suddenly said: "Mr. Chen Yin is strict in selecting his disciples. Sir, you need to be careful today."
Xue Poye said "Oh" and asked: "How many people passed the test yesterday?"
You Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "It turns out that you don't know, sir. With you included, only three of us can pass the test."
Xue Poye nodded slightly. This was something he expected. The number of people who could reach the last level was definitely in single digits. After all, the empty house puzzle was really difficult. He had to find tricks to pass it, and others had to figure it out.
Other answers must take a lot of thinking.
The literary style of Jiangnan is rippling, and there are many talented people in Hangzhou. Naturally, there are also a few particularly smart people among them, so it is reasonable for three people to enter the final level.
Outside the main entrance of Baili Academy.
The place is already full of people. Today, Mr. Chenyin is personally presiding over the examination. It is said that he will also accept disciples on the same day. This is a very eye-catching thing, so whether they are literati or idlers, and even some who are doing business with burdens, they all come
It's all gathered here into one big piece.
Everyone was talking a lot, and the literati naturally maintained a polite attitude, standing in front of the door politely, standing together in small groups, making a comprehensive evaluation and estimation of who of the three candidates would win the final.
Those idle people and lazy people naturally had no scruples. They were eating melon seeds and chatting some gossip. I don't know when a gambling stall was set up next to the main entrance. They were betting on who would win among the three candidates.
The other two candidates are paying ten to one, but Xue Poye is paying eight to one. From this odds, everyone is more optimistic about Xue Poye.
Xue Poye answered questions easily yesterday. First he faced Mr. Qingyi's weird answer, and then he stood up and answered the question in Jingshe. This undoubtedly added a lot of points to his intelligence, so people naturally felt that
Xue Poye is very likely to win the championship.
However, the other two candidates can break out from thousands of people and enter the third level. This cannot be underestimated. They are both smart and talented people. Although Xue Poye passed the first two levels easily, who can guarantee that they will reach the third level?
Xue Poye will definitely succeed? Who is sure that the other two candidates can't beat him?
So as soon as the odds of the three candidates came out, people were betting on them.
When Xue Poye arrived, someone immediately appeared, raised his arms and shouted: "Shopkeeper Xue will win, Shopkeeper Xue will win!" This person was naturally betting that Xue Poye would win.
As a result, those who bet on Xue Poye's victory all raised their arms and shouted, "Mr.
Xue Poye just smiled and clasped his fists at the people around him. Others gave us face, shouldn't we also give others some face?
Soon, someone was heard shouting again, "Master Song must win, Master Song must win." This group of people obviously had fewer supporters than Xue Poye, so the voice did not overshadow "Shopkeeper Xue must win."
The shouts of Xue Poye Fansi further aroused the power hidden in his bones, and he shouted louder and more uniformly, suppressing the cry of "Song Gongzi must win" for a while.
Among the crowd, a very delicate-looking young master stood out proudly, with a proud look on his face. He was obviously one of the candidates for this exam, and he was the so-called "Song Master".
Although Mr. Song was arrogant and arrogant, when he saw Xue Poye, he also knew that Xue Poye was now a leader in Hangzhou's business community. He did not dare to offend him too much.
present.
The moment the two were admitted to the hospital side by side, a group of people cheered and shouted, "Hero Xiao will win, Hero Xiao will win."
Xiao Yingxiong has a strong body and seems to be a warrior. However, today he is wearing a scholar's gown that does not fit well, which seems a bit uncoordinated. Under the cheers of the crowd, Xiao Yingxiong is even a little reserved, with his head lowered.
He walked quickly to the door and almost bumped into Xue Poye. Fortunately, he stopped his feet in time and didn't hit him.
Xiao Yingxiong looked up at Xue Poye and Song Gongzi, and recognized that these two were his competitors. He was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly clasped his fists, and Nuonuo said: "How do you two, how do you two!"
Xue Poye returned the courtesy, but Mr. Song snorted coldly. Although he was afraid of Xue Poye, Mr. Song did not take Xiao Yingxiong seriously.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw the head escort from yesterday walking towards them. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that these three talented people have come. I was just about to send someone to invite them. Today, Mr. Chen Yin is in charge of the examination in person. These three talented people are here."
Be careful, Mr. Chen Yin is very strict in choosing his disciples, if you leave a bad impression on him, that would be a bad thing."
All three of them said yes, and then the head guard smiled and said: "That's very good. Three talents, please come with me. Mr. Chen Yin is waiting for you."
The escort moved forward, and the three of them followed him. After walking for a while, they turned to a small courtyard, where they saw more than 20 famous figures in Hangzhou literary circles already standing in the courtyard, all whispering. On the west side of the courtyard,
Mr. Qingyi is talking to an old man. The old man has a boyish face and his hands behind his back. Who is Xiao Moting if he is not Mr. Chenyin?
The escort leader led the three people to the courtyard, hugged his fists towards Mr. Chen Yin, and said respectfully: "Mr. Chen Yin, all three talents have been brought here."
Mr. Chen Yin turned his head, scanned the three candidates, and finally stopped at Xue Poye. His deep eyes looked at Xue Poye's clear eyes. For a long time, there was a complicated expression on his face, but
He nodded and said, "Here comes the escort chief."
The head guard said hurriedly: "I don't dare. Mr. Chen Yin has something to give me. It's my honor." Without another word, he quickly retreated.
Xue Poye stood there calmly, not as nervous and reserved as the other two. He even had time to look at the situation in the courtyard.
The courtyard is very exquisite, not too small. There are three or two green bamboos and several winter plum trees planted in the corners. The air is fragrant, and the eyes of all the scholars are focused on the three candidates.
What made Xue Poye puzzled was that there was a large vat placed in the middle of the courtyard. The top of the vat was sealed, leaving only a few air outlets. From the air outlets, a kind of air that was completely opposite to the fragrant air emitted.
The fishy smell, these two smells mixed together penetrated into the nose, which was a bit weird.dd
