The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

At this time, the sunset is on the west mountain, the last moment of dusk.

Lu Shengcai came to the gate of Zhao's house with the paper money he pawned with his clothes, and started burning while sitting on the ground, chanting while burning.

"My poor sister Hua'er, I miss you so much."

A handful of paper ingots were thrown into the fire.

"This Zhao family is too inhumane. Brother Wei is incapable of avenging you. Don't blame brother."

"Sister, brother has brought you money, come and get it quickly."

The weird scene attracted a few people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and started discussing it in a low voice.

Lu Shengcai caught a glimpse of someone's attention from the corner of his eye, and his performance became even harder. He threw a lot of paper money into the air with all his strength.

The open space in front of Zhao's house was full of scattered paper money.

"Sister, brother has brought you money, come and get it quickly."

The north wind spun the paper money, blowing it into the courtyard, and landed on the head of the guard on duty inside the gate.

The other party thought it was a fallen leaf, and casually shook his head. When he got it in his hand, he found that it was paper money. He was startled, and hurriedly opened the door.

It was discovered that it was Lu Shengcai who came to make trouble in the afternoon, and the other party was even sitting at the gate burning paper.

His master believes in this the most, if the master sees this, all these guards will die!

Thinking of this, he pulled out the long whip behind him and hit Lu Shengcai on the shoulder.

Lu Shengcai was beaten to the ground, rolled over and stood up again, swearing: "You Zhao family killed my sister, pay for it! Lose the money quickly! It's still 30 taels short!"

The guard was furious after hearing this reason.

Just because of this, they came to burn paper money, and if they didn't handle it well, they would also lose their lives, and they whipped Lu Shengcai twice in anger.

People who were drunk felt numb to the pain, but Lu Shengcai didn't feel much pain, and was still counting on his fingers.

"If you beat me with a whip, you will pay me ten taels of silver, three times in total, and a total of 60 taels."

Even if a money fan is drunk, he can calculate money accurately.

The guard was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he whipped him one by one to express his anger.

When the onlookers saw this scene, they all left in fear. Only a few who were not afraid of death were still watching the excitement there.

The whip was drawn to the back, and Lu Shengcai finally felt the pain. His whole body was in excruciating pain, and a mark was left on his face by the tail of the whip.

Only then did he start to feel frightened, and shouted in horror: "Killer! Killer! Someone is going to silence him!"

Shouting and rolling on the ground.

Seeing that Lu Shengcai finally started begging for mercy, the guard was very happy!

"I let you make trouble!"

The whip under his hand was still flailing at Lu Shengcai, "Almost killed me!"

After the fight, Lu Shengcai was already lying on the ground motionless. The guard was a little unhappy, but he was still in high spirits.

So he took two steps forward and kicked Lu Shengcai.

"Let me tell you the truth, your sister will die when she dies. The Zhao family is not afraid at all. Giving you 20 taels is already a pity for you."

Lu Shengcai lay motionless on the ground.

The guard kicked him twice again, "Even if you don't give me any points, you can't do anything to the Zhao family."

Hearing this, the opponent's body finally trembled.

As if the excitement wasn't enough, the guard squatted down, grabbed Lu Shengcai's hair and raised his head.

Facing his face, he said softly: "I remembered, your girl is Xiaohua, right? You don't know how she died, do you? She was tortured to death because she was dishonest and killed the master's family. secretly brought home the gift!"

"Our master hates this kind of person the most, so use her as a typical example of killing chickens and monkeys to show other scary people. You can't even imagine the cruel methods." After speaking, he smiled maliciously and licked his lips, as if he was missing something.

Seeing this, Lu Shengcai completely sobered up.

He recalled his sister, when she was a [-]th girl and a flower, but it ended like this.

Although Xiaohua is five years younger than him, she has always taken care of him since she was a child.

Give him all the delicious food, make clothes for him, get the soles of his shoes, even if he was bullied as a maid, he never complained when he went home red-eyed.

If he had delicious food, he would not eat it, but would secretly take it home for him to eat. He would never spend the money he made, saying that he would leave it for his brother to marry a wife.

At this moment, he finally remembered how good his younger sister was, but his younger sister was no longer there, and she died a miserable death, and the person in front of him was still laughing!

He collapsed on the ground with tears streaming down his face, crying, "Hua'er, brother, I'm sorry."

"Hmph, trash!"

The guard stood up bored, and thought he would resist after talking so much, but fell down directly.

Hearing the other party's ridicule, Lu Shengcai slowly clenched his fists.

When the other party turned his head back, he got up and rushed over.

"I fought with you!"

He punched and kicked the guard, regardless of whether he touched him or not, it was a suicide attack.

The guard seemed very happy. Seeing the other party's collapse, he became more and more excited. He raised the whip in his hand, and there was another storm.

"If you dare to fight against the Zhao family, you are dead. Even a guard like me can beat you to death in the street. No one dares to meddle in other people's business."

Lu Shengcai resisted and couldn't resist, his consciousness was blurred after being beaten, he lay on the ground with his back facing the sky, thinking that he might as well pay his sister for his life.

"I remember your face! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" After roaring the last sentence, he closed his eyes and accepted his fate.

"Haha, that's what you want!" The guard's whip aimed directly at Lu Shengcai's neck, ready to take him away.

"Stop!" An oppressive voice came from afar.

The guard frowned, looking unhappily at the source of the voice.

Two men dressed in shabby clothes walked over behind a man dressed as a scholar.

Obviously, the person who spoke just now was the little scholar.

"If you don't read your essay carefully, you dare to come here to make trouble!" The guard just wanted to whip his whip.

Lu Xiuyuan hastily took out the token on his body, and a Zhao character was impressively displayed on it.

The guard stopped quickly, changed his attitude in an instant, and saluted respectfully: "So it's a distinguished guest, I'm sorry."

"No problem." Lu Xiuyuan waved his hands indifferently on the surface, but he was actually relieved in his heart.

Almost got hit just now!

"My master is not at home, how dare I ask your name? Can I leave a name card?" the guard asked cautiously.

"I'm not here to visit, I'm just passing by." He glanced at Lu Shengcai on the ground, "It's better not to kill anyone."

Although the guard didn't know where this scholar came from, as long as the other party had that brand, all the servants of the Zhao family must treat each other with courtesy.

Anyway, letting go of a wretch won't affect him at all.

"Since the distinguished guest has spoken, then..." The guard just wanted to say no, when they saw their master, leading a group of people, rushing here.

He yelled inwardly that something was wrong!

He quickly picked up the paper money on the ground, but it was too late, and Zhao Yu still saw all this.

When the other party saw this scene, he almost fainted from anger.

He was in a bad mood today. A few days ago, a few gangsters used his name to steal things, but Shi Yunchen caught him and made him mock him.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Yun Chen made fun of him again with this incident. At that time, he wanted to kill the other party, but he just thought that the time had not come and he couldn't startle the snake, so he endured it.

As a result, he saw the paper money scattered all over the floor at the door of his house, and he almost didn't bring it up in an instant.

He is the most superstitious, and the paper money floating all over the floor is afraid of bloodshed!Ominous!Big bad luck!

"Who did it! Who is it?!" Zhao Yu was furious.

The guard fell to his knees in an instant, unable to utter a frightened word.

While everyone's attention was on the guards, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly asked his elder brother to quietly drag out Lu Shengcai who had passed out on the ground, and let them leave first.

Zhao Yu only thought that Lu Shengcai was a dead person, and didn't take it to heart, and kicked the kneeling guard hard in the chest.

"My uncle is asking you something! You talk!"

The guard was kicked to the heart by him, his eyes darkened, he vomited blood, and could hardly speak.

"It's just a little guard, why is Mr. Zhao so angry? It's not worth it if you get angry." Shi Yunchen waved his fan and followed behind.

Seeing the paper money all over the floor in front of Zhao's house, he froze for a moment and almost laughed out loud.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhao said there was an urgent matter at home. So it was this. I thought you couldn't afford it, so you ran away..."

Seeing that Zhao Yu's complexion was getting worse and worse, Shi Yunchen added: "The funeral is really urgent, so I won't bother you, Master, and leave."

After finishing speaking, he waved his fan and left leisurely.

Zhao Yu's eyes fixed on Shi Yunchen's back as if poisoned.

It's nothing to just talk about taking advantage, Ping'an Town has been taken over by him in sevens and eighties, and the Shi family is like this grasshopper after autumn, it won't be long before they jump around, and what they owe him, they will definitely repay a thousand times!

Thinking of the recent plan, he smiled sullenly, dragged the guards who were dying on the ground into the inner courtyard, and the gate of the Zhao family was slowly closed.
