Chapter 24 Participating in the Qing Dynasty College Entrance Examination (4)
"Recognizing women by smelling their fragrance" is another skill in later generations' training. Of course, it is also possible to recognize men by smelling their fragrance, but most of the time women are more fragrant than men, so it is better to recognize women by smelling their fragrance.
The "Laisheng" Inn has a total of 420 rooms, and now houses more than 830 students taking the exam.
I've walked up and down five or six times and still haven't found any clues. The whole building is built like a maze, thanks to the "Lai Sheng" second boss Wangcai who leads the way.
How is it possible that there is no trace? Where does the problem arise? Standing on the small attic at the top of the "Laisheng Inn", Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) can see all the routes. Every ten or so on the main street
There are more than 40 alleys in total. Some of these alleys are dead ends, but most of them can be connected to other streets. In other words, this is a T-shaped intersection extending in all directions.
"So many students are present...I heard that Lai Fu, the big boss of Lai Sheng, was originally a civil servant. Because he failed in the examination every year, he took over this Lai Sheng Inn. In his words, even if he died, he would die there.
Looking at the top scholar in the world, what happened today... He was not present, which is very abnormal..."
Baoyu waved his hand at the small attic, and immediately there were hidden spies from the "Tianwei Camp" surrounding him.
"I haven't discovered such a big loophole. It seems that I haven't used it for a long time..."
The shopkeeper's room in the backyard was kicked open, and Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was the first to rush in. He responded with more than twenty guns, all of which hit the opponent's arm. He used the "Thunder in the Palm" improved by his young master, Madman Xing.
Now the sound is similar to that of a small cannon, but the power is only reduced by one-sixth.
More than a dozen men in long robes were beaten until their flesh and blood flew out, and the Burmese knives fell to the ground. The chubby innkeeper Laifu was tied to the kang, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and looking around with big fearful eyes.
, and beside them were several chefs who were also tied into rice dumplings.
Without Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s instructions, a spy led someone into the kitchen.
There are several pottery jars placed next to the kang. Wen Baoyu didn't need to get close to know that these were jars containing crane crown red.
The scientific name of Hedinghong is arsenic trioxide, and its common name is arsenic. It has such a strong smell. I really don’t know what the other party thinks. If it is added to food, even pigs will not eat it, let alone humans.
Untying the rope, Laifu gave Baoyu a hand full of runny nose and tears, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master. If you come here later, I will really be ashamed of all the students in the world. They are all red on top of the crane. This is what I eat."
Is it worth it?"
Baoyu ignored him. The twelve men in long robes all groaned. He smelled from them one by one. They were actually the men of "Liu Rushi" from "Chili Villa". Their boots still had the red soil from the west on them.
, I changed my robes, but I didn’t take a shower, and there was still a slight sour smell.
But I didn’t see “Liu Rushi”.
The boss, Laifu, was opening the cash box and taking out the banknotes to hand out money. While handing out the money, he nodded and thanked you profusely, "I am thanking you all for the sake of the students all over the world. Thank you very much."
A spy from the periphery ran up from the kitchen and shook his head vigorously at Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
"A boss who has been in business for more than 20 years actually took out all the banknotes. He is really generous. What I'm curious about is, if he wants to give medicine to students all over the world, why would he use these Hedinghong, which has a particularly strong smell?
Well, wouldn’t it be better to use something else?”
As Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said this, he used the "thunder in his palm" to hit Laifu's forehead. This place is the fatal point for people. One shot will kill him.
"This, this... the little one really doesn't know."
"Your hands are covered with calluses, which shows that you are good at using double knives. You stood very steadily when you were distributing money to everyone just now, and you glanced at the window several times intentionally or unintentionally, which shows that you are ready to escape at any time. This is not
The minimum performance of a boss who will live the rest of his life; and how do you know that we are military lords? We don’t wear armor or uniforms, which shows that you already know us; and these are interrupted by me.
The person with the arm deliberately didn't look at you. You tell me that you have so many doubts. How can I believe you? And one more thing, you shouldn't go to that 'Chili Mountain Villa'. There is red mud on your boots. These people are
You picked it up from the suburbs thirty miles away..."
Laifu didn't dare to move, because just now he saw with his own eyes the young master in front of him showing off his might, using the weapon between his eyebrows to beat twelve killers until they were unable to fight back.
With the cold barrel of the gun pressed between his eyebrows, Laifu felt his whole body getting cold.
"Tell me, what is your conspiracy?"
"There is no conspiracy, just a sabotage. I also know that there is no good fruit to be gained by falling in your 'Tianwei Camp', so we are all dead soldiers, and we have no intention of returning alive after we come here." As he said this, Laifu turned around.
As soon as he was shocked, a mouthful of blood flowed out of his mouth, and he tilted his neck and slid to the ground.
A spy came over and pressed Laifu's neck and said, "Sir, he died by cutting off his heart."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was also shocked. He didn't expect that there is such a thing as internal strength that can cut off one's heart. He had always thought that internal strength was the martial arts moves created by martial arts novelists.
Did his senior brother also learn this kind of martial arts, and that’s why I kept failing in front of him?
After using modern methods to test it for about ten minutes, it turned out that Laifu was not breathing at all, and he died just like that.
His men had begun to rummage through the entire room, and the cash box was opened again. Laifu had just taken out all the banknotes inside, leaving only a small black box at the bottom.
Opening the black box, there were several letters exchanged inside, and there were two letters written by Mr. Obai to Chen Yonghua.
How could the famous and powerful Crown Prince Tai Fu be related to Chen Yonghua, a little man? He also left two letters here. Is it true that the rumor that Obai is going to rebel is true?
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) didn't dare to be good at it. He knew that there must be people arranged by the Empress Dowager and the young emperor in the "Tianwei Camp". He quickly packed up the letters and sent them to the palace without stopping for a moment.
A man stood at the window and stared at the people coming and going below for nearly an hour. He sighed and said, "Send a message and tell Jia Baoyu, deputy commander of the Tianwei Camp, to ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
At this time, in the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager and the young emperor were looking through a box of letters sent in by Jia Baoyu with great interest.
"It seems that Mr. Jia, who you think is extremely smart, is just so mediocre. In order to obtain a higher official position, he would sell anything."
"This also shows that he is loyal to his grandson."
"There is no need to excuse him. The reason why many people die miserably is because they are too greedy and stupid. Now he is eager to show his merits and throws this hot potato to the emperor. This is the biggest stupidity. He also uses the urgent red feather
If the letter is sent in and the whole world knows it, what else is it but stupidity?"
"My grandson feels that Mr. Jia may not be that kind of person..."
While they were talking, Eunuch Liang came in and reported, "The deputy commander of the Tianwei camp wants to see you."
The Empress Dowager became even more angry, "Look, look, you can't hold your breath just to show off your merits! Let him in!"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) entered the main hall of Cining Palace, but the Empress Dowager and the young emperor did not see him beaming with joy. Instead, they saw a very pale and ugly Jia Baoyu.
"No need to kneel down, Mr. Jia, just tell me if you have anything to do."
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, let me get straight to the point. I feel that these letters are not from the hands of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Aobai." Baoyu said while looking at the letters on the couch.
"Oh? Tell me why it's not."
"I have learned handwriting from my father. Although these two letters look very similar to the real thing, they are not. Your Majesty, please look at this place, and this place is the same as Mr. Obai."
The handwriting is different. Here is an autographed letter from Lord Obai collected by my father. Just compare it and it will come out. Everyone has their own unique way of writing and different force, so I am sure that these two letters
They are all fake." Baoyu took out a letter from his arms and said.
"You're saying that there are bad people trying to frame the Grand Tutor?"
"They are not necessarily bad people. I was thinking on the way here, why did I happen to meet those rebels on my way back to Jia Mansion from Tianwei Camp? Why did the boss named Laifu call me very accurately?
Are we from the 'Tianwei Camp'? Why didn't the two leaders of the 'Tianwei Camp', my father and Mr. Qi, show up when such a big thing happened? Why did so many soldiers and spies not show up?
Aren’t you surprised by my actions? I was thinking, maybe the problem is not whether there are rebels..."
"So you think Emperor Guhe is deliberately setting a trap for you?"
"The minister didn't say that. It might be another test for me from my father and my master Qi, but I don't think it's necessarily..."
"If it's fake, it's fake. Didn't you see through it all?"
"Fake things are true when they are true, but those rebels are real. I don't know what method the Empress Dowager and the Emperor used to make these people die happily, but what I want to say is, Xiao Chen
Since I want to enter the officialdom, it is possible to be used by others and to take advantage of others. In the officialdom, it is normal for you to step on me and for me to step on you, but what I just want to say is whether you can, and whether you can stop doing this.
Ruthless, although Master Obai is guarding the city gate now, I am really no match for him. The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the common people must retire."
After saying this, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) turned around and walked away without stopping for a step.
The empress dowager and the little emperor were left looking at each other.
The little emperor said: "Grandma, this... the last thing Mr. Xiao Jia said was that the grassroots should resign. Doesn't he want to be a humerus minister for his grandson?"
"Hey, you really bullied him too hard."
