Back at his residence, Erlangshen felt a little uneasy.He has three eyes and can see through all falsehoods.When the seventh princess squeezed through the crowd, he could clearly see the real body of the seventh princess.

When the Seventh Princess said to Dong Yong that I like you, Erlang God couldn't control himself. He wanted to take Dong Yong back to Guanjiangkou immediately and lock him in the palace. No one was allowed to see him when he came.

The Seventh Princess looked at Dong Yong with yearning, admiration, and a hint of... admiration.Of course Erlangshen couldn't let Dong Yong know that the Seventh Princess liked him, so he could only talk nonsense, saying that the Seventh Princess was changed by Humei, and asked Dong Yong to stay away from her.

Erlang Shen clearly knew that this clumsy lie would not last long, and he could only take one step at a time.In the past few days in the capital, he had to guard Dong Yong at every step, and could not give the Seventh Princess any chance.

Dong Yong didn't know Erlang God's little thoughts, he should eat and sleep every day, and went to the gate of the city to see how the refugees were doing when he had nothing to do.

There is always a shortage of smart people in the world. Someone opened a tea shed at the gate of the city, where they sold some poor tea, as well as some dry food and meals.

It doesn't cost much to open a tea shed, and the students who are stranded outside the city often come here to buy food, and it is quite profitable to open a tea shed.

Dong Yong sat in the tea shed, looked at the refugee sheds not far away, and chatted with Erlang Shen.

"Lord Zhenjun, have Chun Wei's exam questions been released?" Dong Yong asked casually while sipping his tea.

There was also a bowl of tea in front of Erlangshen, but he didn't take a sip, "It's already out."

Dong Yong put down his tea bowl and went to Erlangshen's side and asked, "Master Zhenjun, do you think I can be the number one scholar?"

Erlang glanced at him, then moved to the side, a little further away from Dong Yong. "It's up to you whether you pass the exam or not."

Dong Yong acted coquettishly, pulling God Erlang's sleeve and twisting it on the stool, "Master Zhenjun! You are so cruel, ruthless, and vexatious! Just steal the paper and let me have a look." ! If I win the first prize, you will be honored!"

Erlangshen is a real man, he was indifferent to this disgusting coquetry, "If your level is not good, even if I steal the test questions, you will not be able to answer them, and you will still not be the champion."

"Don't talk about it! People's level is not good, but Master Zhenjun's level must be good! You give people the answer!"

Erlang Shen frowned suddenly and said, "The city gate is about to open!"

The iron chain as thick as an adult man's arm was lowered little by little, and the wide suspension bridge fell to the ground with a loud noise, and Dong Yong felt the soles of his feet tremble.The city gate opened slowly, and the people outside the city couldn't help cheering loudly when they saw the city gate open!They can finally enter the city!

But then, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city. The leader was wearing armor and holding a gun, riding a bay red horse and leading the troops out of the city.

Dong Yong frowned, "Something is wrong."

Erlang Shen nodded, "It doesn't seem like he's here to solve the problem, but rather to arrest someone."

Sure enough, the soldiers went straight to the refugees in the shed.Some impoverished children also lived in the simple sheds built by Dong Yong, but the soldiers did not catch them.

The clothes of the Juzi are very different from those of the refugees. The refugees are scantily clad and dirty.But a scholar!They all pay attention to decency, and no matter how poor they are, they are better dressed than the refugees.Soldiers could easily distinguish the exiles who came to Beijing for the exam from the refugees.

There were cries and shouts from the shed, and the soldiers pushed and shoved the refugees, and those who dared to resist would be beaten violently.Some of them couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help asking: "Lang Lang Qiankun, what are you trying to do? Why are you arresting people for no reason?"

A soldier said unceremoniously: "The yamen is not in the way of official business! Let me tell you, little boy! You are just an officer, and you haven't become an official yet! It's not your turn to meddle in business, so get out of the way quickly, or I won't even let you go!" You catch it together!"

Juzi still wanted to go forward to argue, but the fellow countryman who was close to him stopped him and covered his mouth. "Don't be stubborn, your arms can't twist your thighs. If they catch you, they won't beat you. If they put you in a prison for a few days and then release you, you will miss Chunwei! You can take the exam once a year, you Do you still want to wait until next year? Your family only has a little money, can your parents come to Beijing to make money next year?"

Lifting his lips, he gradually stopped struggling. He sighed, turned his head and couldn't bear to look any more.

Erlang Shen clenched his fists and stood up. Dong Yong knew that he wanted to save the refugees.

Dong Yong hurriedly stopped him, "Don't rush to save people. If you beat up these soldiers, the imperial court will not be able to catch you, and it will only increase the crime of these refugees. At that time, they will no longer be refugees. They are rebels. You should bless these refugees first, so that they don’t get sick or injured. If you want to solve this problem, you still have to find someone who can be the master.”

God Erlang blessed the refugees, and then sent them a voice transmission. "I already know your grievances, bear with it for now, and the matter will settle itself."

Such a solemn warning came from the ears of the refugees.They thought of the blessings a few days ago, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. It seemed that they were saved, as long as they waited a few more days, the gods would come to save them!

The refugees stopped resisting and followed the soldiers obediently.The soldiers were very surprised. They were crying miserably just now, so why they became obedient all of a sudden.

The officers and soldiers escorted the refugees away, but the city gate was not closed again.It seems that the incident of closing the city gate is over.

Dong Yong sighed, "If it was the emperor's idea to arrest the refugees, then I think the country is almost doomed."

Erlangshen said: "The city gate is open, let's enter the city first. You don't have to think too much, take the exam at ease, and leave the rest to me."

The two of them were about to leave when the person who helped the refugees shouted loudly: "Everyone was in the same year, we all gathered together because of Chunwei. You all saw it just now, how innocent are these refugees? They were taken away by the government, but they didn't even say a word I can’t even get an explanation. What mistakes did they make? Is the famine their fault? No! Is it their fault that there were no seeds during spring plowing? No! One day, will you be able to plead for the people as an official? Today, innocent people are suffering in front of us, can we just watch it?"

A few passionate people followed suit and shouted: "No! We must save them! If we stand idly by today, then what kind of scholars are we!"

Another shouted: "We don't know how to cook, but the ladies and gentlemen who live in the shed next door cook porridge for us! The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring. We can't just watch them suffer in the prison!"

The leader said excitedly: "Okay! Those of the same age who have the same thoughts as us, let's jointly sign a letter and plead with His Majesty! We must let the government release these innocent refugees!"

"Okay! Count me in!"

"Count me in too!"

Some advocates with a sense of justice rushed to raise their hands and actively agreed to jointly sign the letter.Most people agreed to jointly sign the letter, and the atmosphere at the scene was very enthusiastic.Some people who were still hesitating didn't want to look too out of group, so they had to raise their hands too.

Ju Zi, who had just taken the lead, went to the tea shed and said to Xiao Er, "Little Brother, let me borrow your table!"

Xiaoer said: "Please go ahead."

Some Juzi brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the leading Juzi wrote a long article on the desktop, and wrote his name at the end.

The other candidates read it and praised his article one after another, scrambling to write their names on the paper.

Dong Yong sat at the table next door and couldn't see what he wrote.He stood awkwardly on the stool, stretched his neck and looked over there.

He is peeking there!The leader Juzi noticed him, so he said, "Is Xiongtai also a Juzi? I see Xiongtai is in a hurry, why don't you come first?"

Those who actively left their names beside him all turned their heads to look at him, and Dong Yong felt that their eyes gave him great pressure.

Dong Yong smiled awkwardly, he shouldn't have climbed so high.He smiled embarrassingly, "You are busy, you are busy. I just... just take a look."

He sat back on the stool honestly, and the leader said: "Brother, this is a good thing for the country and the people, do you really not want to participate?"

"I can't... I understand your kindness, but I don't think this way of solving problems is suitable for me." After all, I am not just a scholar, I am also a man who concentrates on cultivating Taoism and is especially capable!

The leader Juzi sighed, "Okay! Since my brother is not willing, I won't force it."

He turned his head away and continued to call everyone to write their names on the paper.

One of the students said in a strange way: "Some people! They claim to be scholars, but they don't have the integrity of scholars at all. They just signed a letter together. I don't know what they are afraid of?"

Some people also echoed, "That's right, if this kind of person can be admitted to Jinshi, it will be really a tragedy for the people of the world!"

Hearing this, Erlang Shen became angry. He could scold him, but he couldn't scold Dong Yong.

He stood up and said, "It's just a juren without an official position. I really think that I can change the world by writing the letter? I'm overestimating my strength!"

"What's the matter with you? It's fine if you don't help, why are you still talking sarcastic?"

Erlangshen said: "Do you know who gave the order to close the city gate? Do you know why the refugees were arrested? What kind of mess are you writing on the paper? Jump to conclusions without knowing the situation, even Last year’s drought and famine were all due to the emperor. Who do you think you are? Do you think the emperor dare not kill you? The emperor works. You are the ones who are overthinking your abilities!"

The leader Juzi frowned and said, "Brother, I can't agree with what you said. You are too utilitarian. We plead for the lives of the people not for fame or profit, but for those refugees to live a better life." Days, I will no longer be homeless in the future. It is a bit too much for you to comment on our intentions like this!"

Erlangshen said: "Don't talk about yourself being so noble. Didn't you shrink back when the officers and soldiers arrested you just now? There are also those behind you who feel that their reading level is not very good, and they failed the Jinshi examination. It's better to just give up. Sign the letter together, and return to the village to gain a good reputation of not being afraid of power."

Some people were blushing, and Erlang God's words hit their hearts and minds.

The leading candidate also knew about this situation, but just to increase the weight, he could only accept these hypocritical people writing their names on paper.

Erlang snorted coldly, "You mortals are really boring. Let's go."

Dong Yong happily patted a silver ingot and pressed it on the table. He curled his lips at those moves and said arrogantly: "You moves! It's really boring."

The expression is perfect, very pretentious.

He caught up with Erlang Shen and beat him on the shoulder very dog-leggedly.The two of them walked into the city, and their figures blended into the crowd.

Just now I was full of enthusiasm to write a joint letter, but now I feel dull looking at the blank paper on the table.The leader Zhang Zi turned and walked away, and several others followed suit.There are only a few candidates who want to gain fame, who are hesitant with that piece of paper.

Dong Yong thumped Erlang God's shoulder and said cheerfully: "Lord Zhenjun, you were so handsome just now!"

Erlang snorted coldly, "It's just a bunch of ignorant mortals."

"That's right, that's right! They are simply too ignorant and shameless. Who has done the most to take care of the refugees these days? Of course it is Lord Zhenjun, and me! What are they doing? They eat and sleep every day. They are not as good as us My little flower is useful. Thank you Lord Zhenjun for standing up for me, what request do you have? I will try my best to satisfy the little one."

Erlang God stopped in his tracks and said very seriously: "You have to promise me that you will never see that vixen in the future!"
