Daming King of Punishment

Page 547

These three days, although not thrilling, still completely shocked Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

When they set off again, they still couldn't help thinking about that thrilling scene in their hearts.

"Brother Wu Ya, it's already evening when you come here." Bai Zhuo sat in the carriage, looked at the city not far away, and couldn't help complaining.

Originally they planned to travel by water, but for some reason, Song Wuya chose to travel by land instead.In this way, the journey that should have only taken more than half a day took a whole day.

Hearing Bai Zhuo's complaint, Song Wuya smiled slightly and said, "Brother Bai, it seems that your scar has healed and you forgot the pain! Are you not afraid of that water ghost at all?"

"Hey!" Bai Zhuo immediately sneered: "What are you thinking about when I become Brother Wu Ya? It turns out that you are afraid of those water ghosts. Aren't the water ghosts already dead? What else do you have to be afraid of? It's a piece of peace. I never thought that you, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, would actually climb up into the water ghost at this time."

It's no wonder that Bai Zhuo would laugh at Song Wuya. After all, before this, if the water ghosts were not caught, they would have chosen the land route for safety's sake. What to be afraid of.

Facing Bai Zhuo's ridicule, Song Wuya only smiled slightly, and did not refute anything.

"This provincial capital is big enough, it looks like it should be a lively place." Too lazy to argue with Bai Zhuo about the water ghost, Song Wuya set his sights on the provincial capital not far away.

As the carriage continued to move forward, they were getting closer and closer.

"Brother Wu Ya, do you remember what the boatman said when we came here?" Seeing Song Wuya mentioning the provincial capital, Bai Zhuo immediately answered.

When Bai Zhuo reminded him, Song Wuya immediately recalled it, and soon he thought of what Bai Zhuo was going to say.

"You mean the imperial examination?"

"That's right. Didn't the boatman tell you when we came here? He thought the two of us were students going to the provincial capital to take the exam! He also said that this is Saint Enke. Students from all over the world have flocked here these days, presumably This provincial capital must be extremely lively." Bai Zhuo was very pleasantly surprised.

Evidently, he considered these students to be his kind.Although he didn't have a high school at the beginning, and he spent ten years studying hard, but in the end he also got such an official position, which is worthy of the poems and books he has read for more than ten years.

I don't know if he is worried about these students, or if he feels that he is a bit superior to them, anyway, he always has a smile on his face.

"Then we can't find a place to live?" Xiaohuan was not as happy as Bai Zhuo, and he brought up the most worrying thing.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Bai Zhuo immediately froze when he heard Xiaohuan's words, and when he came to his senses, he immediately bawled a few times. "Xiaohuan, what nonsense are you talking about. Don't be so clumsy, how could we have no place to live!"

Don't look at the lightness of his words, but it clearly shows that he is also very worried about this matter in his heart.

On the contrary, Song Wuya and Situ Wen were more open-minded and didn't say anything.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter, isn't it coming soon? Although it's a bit late, I think we should find a place to live." Seeing that Bai Zhuo and Xiaohuan were about to quarrel, Situ Wen hurriedly stopped her The two of them.

That's right, it's already at the door, and if there is any place to live, I will know soon.

"Young masters and ladies, please get off the car. We need to check at the gate of the city ahead." The driver driving the car in front slowly slowed down, and turned back to the people in the car.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo looked up at the same time, and they saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade blocking the gate of the city to check.

"parking!"

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, some officers and soldiers noticed them and stepped forward to stop their carriage.

Song Wuya, Situ Wen and the others immediately got out of the carriage and stood beside the carriage looking at the officers and soldiers.

"Are you here for scientific research?" The officers and soldiers asked Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo after looking them up and down.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo shook their heads at the same time: "We didn't come to participate in the scientific examination, we just happened to pass by here."

"Hmph! What are you pretending to be? Given your age and the way you dress, you are clearly here for the scientific examination." The officer and soldier snorted coldly with disdain, and they still didn't believe what Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo said.

This is really strange, the boatman thought they were students rushing for the exam, but they didn't reveal their identities.But now that they have clearly said no, the officers and soldiers insisted on saying that they are students.

They had never seen such a thing before.

"Well, since you said so, then we will." Song Wuya has no time to waste time with him here, since he thinks that the two of them are students rushing for the exam, wouldn't it be over if they admit it?

The officer seemed very satisfied with the answer, and nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to say something, there was a burst of abuse from the front.

"Hmph! Look at your stinky and poor appearance! If you don't have money, get out of here."

This scolding attracted the attention of Song Wuya and the others. They looked up and saw the crowd suddenly pushing and shoving, as if they were trying to avoid something.

Just as they were curious about what happened, the two saw an officer and soldier kicking a young man who looked like a scholar among the crowd getting out of the way.

The young man was already soft, and besides, he didn't dare to get rough with these officers and soldiers, otherwise he would be the one who would be unlucky in the end.

"What's going on here?" Bai Zhuo looked at the beaten scholar, and immediately asked the officer curiously.

Hearing the angry voice, the officers and soldiers said, "None of your business! Pay the money quickly!"

"Hey! How do you talk?" Bai Zhuo originally looked at the beaten scholar, but he felt unhappy in his heart. He didn't expect the officer and soldier in front of him to speak so rudely, so he immediately became angry and sternly Asked: "What did you say? Pay for what? I have stipulated in that law that you have to pay for entering the city?"

"Hehe! I didn't see it, you know the law!" Bai Zhuo's retort was only met with a sneer from the officer and soldier. He approached Bai Zhuo slowly, and the contempt on his face instantly reversed. Eyes wide open and roar fiercely: "If you have no money, get out of here!"

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound, Bai Zhuo couldn't help but took a step back, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Do you still have the king's law!" Bai Zhuo was anxious, but he couldn't fight the officer and soldier in front of him, so he could only scold him angrily.

The officer and soldier sneered: "Wang Fa! Is it up to you to decide Wang Fa? Today, I'm leaving you here, you have to pay the money or get out. If you don't get out, don't blame me for sending you off like him. Get out."

While Bai Zhuo was negotiating with the officer, Song Wuya noticed the surrounding situation.He finally understood why the officers and soldiers insisted that they were rushing for the exam.

Because all the young people who came here were stopped.And those women and the older ones went in without any interrogation at all.

It seems that their purpose is to ask these candidates for money, nothing else.

The coachman who was following them saw that the situation was really wrong, and his face was cloudy and uncertain.

"My lord, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, so just give them money if they want it. I don't think you seem to be in need of money." The coachman whispered to Song Wuya in his ear.

Hearing this, Song Wuya also felt that it made sense.Seeing that the sky is getting dark, they really have nothing to argue with these unreasonable people. If they close the city gate in a while and prevent them from entering the city, it will be even more troublesome.

"This military master, you have something to say, something to say." Song Wuya hurriedly said something nice: "How much money does this person want?"

"Hmph! One person, one pair." After hearing Song Wuya's words, the officers and soldiers turned their heads to look at Song Wuya.

Song Wuya didn't hesitate right away, and directly took out five liang of silver, slapped it in the hands of the officer and soldier, and said with a smile: "If there is any extra, I will make amends to you, Lord Bing, for my brother. Offended, how offended, please forgive me."

The officer and soldier smiled slightly, and secretly weighed the silver in his hands. The expression on his face changed immediately, and he smiled and said, "Isn't this the end? As for spending so much effort? Look, the people around here are still waiting Let's go into town."

Bai Zhuo knew that Song Wuya wanted to calm things down and didn't want to cause trouble in this place.Originally, they came here to see the situation, but when they encountered such a situation when they first arrived at the door, can they feel at ease?In this way, they have to hide their identities even more, so that they can go in and find out the truth.

Hearing what the officers and soldiers said, Song Wuya immediately said again: "Master Bing, I heard the accent of the scholar who was beaten just now, he turned out to be from our hometown. Can you show your hand and let him go in with us? Bar."

It was nothing more than bringing the scholar in, the officer and soldier weighed the money in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's easy to talk about." The officers and soldiers nodded and said, and then shouted to their companions: "Okay, don't beat him, this young man gave him money, let him go in."

As soon as the officer and soldier stepped aside, he let Song Wuya and the others enter the city.
