Chapter 089: A certain Xiong Tao

Suppress the matter and let others continue to judge the papers.

Xie Mingtang thought about it, took out a blank memorial, and wrote down the entire story of what he encountered during this provincial examination.

"..... I don't check it for a while, because it's my fault. This dynasty has no regulations on the same answer as before and it doesn't take it. Moreover, the literary talent of this candidate is extremely high, so I decided to admit this candidate, but such questions need to be eliminated. I suggest that the scientific examinations will be used as the catalog of imperial examination questions in previous dynasties to avoid repeated examination questions."

"I have omissions in my studies before the exam, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me..."

Then, with the deputy examiner Chen Yao, he opened the test paper to check his name.

"No. 1008, Hangzhou, Qinguan and Qin Shaoyou."

Two imperial guards brought from the capital were summoned and ordered them to take the memorials and Qin Guan's test papers and immediately go to Beijing to present to the current emperor.

Qin Guan read the book in the study room of the other courtyard for an afternoon, and then made the question himself and tried to write a scripture. He found that his level was too poor, and he felt that the things he wrote were not good at reading.

Just when he was studying hard, he didn't know that his test paper caused a dispute in the examination school.

Whether he can pass the imperial examination is already in the midst of someone else’s thoughts.

Time flies in the evening. Qin Guan has been out for a day and has not had dinner in the other yard. He takes Erbao home.

When I got home for dinner, I heard from my mother that my brother Qin Zhang had not come back and was outing with classmates. Maybe I would stay outside tonight.

Unexpectedly, the older brother, who was a little nerdy, relaxed after the exam and was unable to return home at night.

Mrs. Qin also said that in the afternoon, Qin Guan also had classmates coming to see him, but unfortunately Qin Guan was no longer there, but the other party left an invitation and invited him to attend tomorrow's cocktail party.

Qin Guan took the invitation and looked at it. He was a classmate who was not very familiar with him. He probably contacted him. Let’s talk about it tomorrow, and it would be nice if he had nothing to do.

He slept until midnight before getting up. The party was at night. After breakfast, Qin Guan was about to go to the villa to continue his studies. He decided to go to the evening if he had just walked out of Qin's mansion with Erbao, he was stopped by a strong man.

It was the strong man selling tigers I saw yesterday morning. The strong man stood in front of Qin Guan, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped. A man who was eight feet tall made such a twist, and Qin Guan felt uncomfortable when he watched it.

"This hero, there is something to do." Qin Guan asked.

The strong man clasped his fists and bowed deeply at Qin Guan, and said, "Young Master Tang is a man named Xiong Tao. I would like to thank you very much yesterday."

"You're welcome, a small thing, by the way, you said yesterday that your brother needs medical treatment when he was injured. How about it? Have you taken care of it?" Qin Guan asked casually. He didn't know what the strong man on the other side would do to stop him.

When Xiong Tao heard Qin Guan’s question, his expression on his face looked a little embarrassed and said, “I asked the doctor to deal with the trauma yesterday, but my brother still hasn’t woken up, and now he still has no idea of ​​life and death.”

"Then you stop me, is there anything wrong?" Qin Guan asked.

After hearing Qin Guan say this, Xiong Tao felt a little embarrassed again, but he had to say it. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "I hope to borrow some money from the young master."

Before Qin Guan said anything, Xiong Tao quickly said, "I know I have never met my grandson. Yesterday, the young master helped me, but I have no relatives in Hangzhou, and I don't even know who to look for, so I thought of the young master."

An eight-foot-high man, a warrior who dares to hunt tigers, is willing to lower his head and ask others to borrow money. He must have encountered difficulties.

What Qin Guan lacks the most is money.

"If you have any questions, I won't refuse if I can help." Qin Guan said.

Xiong Tao hesitated for a moment, looked at the crowds coming and going on the street, and then said, "Young Master, can you find a secluded place to talk?"

"Okay, find a private room to talk to the teahouse in front." Qin Guan said.

After the refreshment was over, the waiter pushed it down, and Xiong Tao then talked about his own affairs. "The one who was injured was my younger brother Xiong Ping. We are from Qingzhou Prefecture. We have been learning art with our master Zhou Tong and are interested in serving military martial arts."

Qin Guan was stunned and asked quickly, "Wait, do you have any senior brothers and brothers of Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Wu Song, and Yue Fei?"

Xiong Tao was stunned by Qin Guan's question, then shook his head and said, "No."

Qin Guan said oh, then said, "You keep talking."

"We brothers were planning to go to Beijing to see if we could find an opportunity, but after a year in Jinling, we now have no choice but to be naturalized, and we brothers have nothing to do with each other. Finally, we were discouraged and prepared to go home."

"But halfway through the way to Hangzhou, we were resting at a tea stall on the side of the road. There were about twelve or three of them, all dressed up by merchants, carrying two trucks of goods. We didn't care at first, but when the group was about to leave, a box suddenly fell from the car, revealing the gold, silver and wealth inside."

"We brothers had no intention of causing trouble, but when they saw that they had revealed their wealth, they took out their swords and rushed to us without saying a word. They killed the tea stall couple, and even the couple was seven or eight years old. Moreover, the force of this group of strong men was not bad, and our brother had no weapons in his hands, so they were caught off guard by them. My brother Xiong Ping was seriously injured."

Qin Guan also heard it nervously and asked, "What's the end?"

"In the end, I snatched the steel knife in one of them and slaughtered four or five others. I was afraid that my brother would be killed, so I had to snatch him and escape. Then I carried him all the way to Hangzhou for medical treatment."

Qin Guan asked curiously: "Yesterday you said you wanted to find a doctor to treat the injury, but how can you use 50 yuan of medical expenses to treat the injury?"

Xiong Tao sighed and said, "My brother was injured by a knife. If he went to an ordinary clinic for treatment, the clinic would inevitably report to the government. After all, we killed people, and the tea stall couple and the child died. He was unfamiliar with the local area, so he was afraid of deviation."

"What deviation can you make when you fight against a robber? " Qin Guan asked in confusion.

Xiong Tao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young master is a person with fame and fortune, so he is naturally not afraid of the government, but we civilians like us can only be careful."

"That group of strong men is not a good person at first glance. I guess, either a robber or a person from some major forces. If the local government cannot find out who killed the couple and was held accountable by the top of the mountain, who knows whether this murder will be imposed on our brothers. So I only dare to spend a high price to ask for a doctor who is running the foot. The doctor will take responsibility for the treatment of the disease, so naturally I ask for a price everywhere."

Qin Guan sighed in his heart that he came to ancient society and did not encounter any difficult things due to his identity. He felt that ancient life was very comfortable, but if he was allowed to travel to an ordinary citizen, his life might not be so good.
