The Tang Dynasty followed the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty was more and more powerful for more than a hundred years, and the status of civil servants was getting higher and higher, and it had long exceeded the status of military officers. Participating in the imperial examination was one of the fastest and most convenient ways to become an official in the court. Everyone wanted to pass the exam in one fell swoop and make a name for themselves since then.

Just like the magistrate of County Zhang, he originally came from a poor family. He passed the exam and obtained the status of a Jinshi in the palace examination. He soon became the magistrate of Xiaxian County. Two years ago, he became the magistrate of Xunyang County, Shangxian County.

On the contrary, although Lin Siming and Cao County Magistrate, although they had a family of magistrates, were unable to take the palace examination because they only passed the imperial examination. From the beginning to the end, they were just a county magistrate and a county magistrate. Even though their power in Xunyang County was much stronger than that of Zhang County Magistrate, they had a huge gap in identity with Zhang County Magistrate.

Qingshan College is the best academy in Xunyang County. It has produced three Jinshi in ten years. Basically, one person can pass the imperial examination in every class.

It is normal for people to hope that their son will become a dragon. Any family with some ability in Xunyang County will send their family members to Qingshan College to study at any cost, in order to benefit from the glory of Qingshan Academy and make their family also proclaim a Jinshi. Since then, the family has risen.

As the son of Cao County Magistrate, Cao Xiaozhong was naturally sent to the academy by Cao County Magistrate. Of course, Li Fei did not think that Cao Xiaozhong had the possibility of being a Jinshi, but was like a poor student who was a waste of time in later generations.

In fact, this big disaster caused by Doudizhu was the first to bring Cao Xiaozhong into Qingshan Academy.

It was the first time that Li Fei entered an ancient college. He deviated from the downtown area and had a good environment, but the scale was far worse than that of later colleges. In fact, there were only more than 100 people in Qingshan College. Most of the people who came to study were people of 18 or 20 years old, which was equivalent to later colleges.

"Cao Xiaopang, have you brought the money?" The prince who spoke was the prince who defeated Cao Xiaozhong with Zhang Yuanming. He looked about nineteen years old. Zhang Yuanming sat next to him. At the same time, there were seven or eight other people, obviously headed by Zhang Yuanming, the county magistrate.

There is no shortage of cliques anywhere, and Aoyama Academy is no exception.

"You are indispensable!" Staring at Zhang Yuanming and others, Cao Xiaozhong gritted his teeth and looked very bad.

"Oh, is this the son-in-law of Lin County Chenggong's family? His name is Li Fei." His tone was full of mockery. While seeing Cao Xiaozhong, they of course also saw Li Fei who came with Cao Xiaozhong. The son-in-law is despised at all times, especially in ancient times, which was equivalent to having no dignity of a man and a representative of weakness and incompetence.

Those who can study at Qingshan College are not far behind, and they are basically rich gentry and family members from Xunyang County. Even if Li Fei is supported by the Lin family, they dare to make fun of it without any scruples.

Li Fei opened the fan and ignored it, but looked slutty! Li Fei was not a person who cared about other people's gaze, not to mention that he did not know any of these people except Zhang Yuanming.

Li Fei was not angry or refuted, and his slutty look made Zhang Yuanming and others feel very uncomfortable.

"Li Fei, you come with Cao Xiaopang, can you want to pay back the money you owed for him?" Zhang Yuanming looked at Li Fei. Of course, he knew that Li Fei had just cheated him in the Chen Qilou a few days ago and had won a total of no less than 2,000 taels of silver. If he really helped Cao Xiaopang pay it back, he would have to pay it back.

"If you help him, please don't want to pay it back. But since you won Cao Xiaozhong by playing cards, my hand is itchy again. How about we go for a few rounds?" Li Fei smiled. To be honest, he really didn't have the money to pay it back for Cao Xiaozhong. The only thing that can help Cao Xiaozhong is to help him win the money back. With his 20 or 30 years of experience in fighting landlords, the possibility is still very high.

"Hmph, Li Fei, don't be self-indulgent. Why should we come with you? Even if we want to come with you, Cao Xiaopang will have to pay back the money he owed first." Zhang Yuanming sneered, not being fooled by Li Fei. Last time he was cheated by Li Fei, and he was very cautious about Li Fei. Besides, this time he was Cao Xiaozhong.

"Cao Xiaopang, don't say that you didn't give you a chance. If you don't have the money to pay it back, we will go to your house to find the county magistrate Cao." Zhang Yuanming turned his head and looked at Cao Xiaozhong and threatened sinisterly.

Cao Xiaozhong wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Li Fei, hoping that Li Fei could have a way to save him. As long as he was allowed to escape this time, he vowed that even if he had to play two against one in the future, he would not come after more than ten cents.

Zhang Yuanming was not fooled, and Li Fei was helpless, but it didn't mean he had no choice.

Li Fei took out the beautiful jade that Zhang Yuanming mortgaged it last time.

"Zhang Yuanming, don't you want this jade anymore? If you can beat me by 100 taels, I will return this jade to you."

Seeing the jade in Li Fei's hand, Zhang Yuanming's face changed immediately. He was cheated by Li Fei that day, and he didn't have a single tael of silver left. The jade his father gave him on his 20th birthday three months ago was mortgaged by him. This jade was a great humiliation for Li Fei's hand. If he had the chance, he would of course want to get it back.

Zhang Yuanming gritted his teeth. Although Li Fei was invented by two to one, the rules were simple. It was his first time to play. Li Fei was skilled and Cao Xiaopang was dragging him down. After he went back that day, he asked someone to make a deck of exactly the same cards. He practiced his card skills for two days. He had the intention to get the venue back from Li Fei one day in the future.

He didn't believe it. This time, without Cao Xiaozhong's drag on him, Li Fei could still beat him.

No! Not only did he not drag him down, but Mr. Wang was also his. Instead, they could unite to kill Li Fei.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanming gave a wink at Prince Wang.

Prince Wang knew it and saw Zhang Yuanming's plan. He wanted to join forces with him to kill Li Fei, and immediately smiled sinisterly.

"Okay! Li Fei, come if you want to come!"

Li Fei is not a blind man, and it can be seen that Zhang Yuanming and the prince want to join forces to cheat him. What Doudizhu is most afraid of is that two of them secretly colluded and easily cheated the other person to death. However, Li Fei’s 20 or 30 years of experience Doudizhu is not a big deal. After all, even if they colluded, it is impossible to tell the other party directly about his cards. He is not afraid of two rookies.

"Come on!" Li Fei also smiled.

Things like Landlords, especially when you have to bet, naturally it is impossible for them to come to Qingshan Academy. After all, even if the masters in Qingshan Academy don’t want to care about Zhang Yuanming and Cao Xiaozhong who come in with their background, they will not let them defile the holy place of study.

Li Fei and Cao Xiaozhong followed Zhang Yuanming and others to a tree next to Qingshan Academy. There happened to be a stone table and stone bench here. Cao Xiaozhong has been fighting against the people in Qingshan Academy here these days. Unfortunately, he was able to kill all directions on the first day of the day, but it was no longer possible. Today, Zhang Yuanming and Wang Gongzi were cheated by more than 600 taels at once. It was a pity.
