Chapter 311

Late at night, Tianxian Tower.

As the most famous brothel in the inner city of Mocheng, the business here is naturally very hot every night.

Usually when it gets dark, the lights here are bright, and in front of the door and upstairs, there are women wearing tulle and wearing beautiful flowers, twisting their crescent limbs to attract guests.

But today is the imperial examination period.

After dark, the exterior lights of Tianxian Tower were not turned on.

At the same time, there were no enchanting women twirling their moons or making a noise upstairs in front of the door.

The entire Tianxian Tower was quiet and quiet.

But being quiet doesn’t mean not picking up customers.

Familiar customers had already come here before dark and curfew, went in to drink and watch the show.

Prince Meng of the City Lord's Mansion is one of them.

On the stage, there were oirans playing the piano, entertainers dancing, and singers showing off their voices, singing the most famous "Shui Tiao Song Tou" in Namo City.

Meng Xianxing held the beauty in his arms, eating melon seeds and watching them drunkenly.

The two fell in love upstairs and entered the room.

The two guards followed and stopped at the door, holding the hilt of the Yue Yaojian knife in their hands, guarding one on the left and the other on the right.

After a while, a woman's scream suddenly came from inside.

The two guards at the door looked at each other again, and when they were about to joke in a low voice, they suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

The two people's expressions suddenly changed. They turned around in a hurry, kicked open the door with a kick, and rushed in!

The light in the room was bright, and the woman was sitting naked on the ground beside the bed, trembling all over, her face was pale, and she could not speak.

On the bed, Mr. Meng's head was missing, the jade pendant in front of his chest was broken, and blood was still spurting from his neck.

The two guards were so frightened that they hurriedly held the drawn knives and searched around the room.

But there was no one else in the room.

Luo Qingzhou killed someone, left Tianxian Road, and first went to the sky above Gongyuan. He lowered his head and glanced at the compartment where his body was. After seeing nothing unusual, he flew back to Qin Mansion and put down his things.

When he was going to Yuanyang Tower for a stroll, his heart suddenly moved and he decided to go to Chengguo Mansion first.

Let's explore the road first and see what's going on.

Not long after, he had flown over Chengguo Mansion and looked at the two orb magic weapons on the eaves of the roof.

He immediately used the Qi-condensing technique taught to him by Sister Yue, and slowly approached from above.

Until they were only five meters away, there was still no reaction from the two beads.

He was relieved, but he didn't land immediately.

It is still very dangerous to go down directly like this. Maybe there are warriors hiding in the dark, waiting for them.

He flew to the streets and alleys outside, looking around, and suddenly found a wild cat with pitch black fur.

Now that he has been promoted to the middle stage of the God Refining Realm, as long as his soul power is sufficient, there is no problem in possessing him multiple times in one day.

In the Chengguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.

"Meow……"

A small wild cat with brown fur barked on the courtyard wall, and then jumped down into the courtyard.

Before he hit the ground, his body suddenly split into two halves.

A figure walked out of the shadow of the eaves, looked down, picked up the two halves of the body, and threw them out.

The figure had gray hair and a slightly stooped body. She was actually an old nanny.

Another small courtyard was quiet.

The room was dark.

On the crossbeam, two white silk threads tied into a tight knot hang.

The mother and daughter stood below, hugging each other and talking softly.

"Xiaolou, are you afraid?"

"Mother, Xiaolou is not afraid... As long as he can be with mother, Xiaolou is not afraid at all..."

"Xiaolou, I'm sorry...it's my useless mother, I can't protect you..."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

After a while, the mother and daughter trembled and got on the stool. Yang Ping'er picked her up with tears on her face, hung her on the white silk fabric herself, and cried: "Xiaolou, in the next life, don't be a mother again." My dear daughter..."

After saying that, before the little girl could reply, she had already lost her hand.

The little girl's eyes widened and she fell vertically, but she didn't struggle.

Yang Ping'er couldn't bear to witness it and got on another stool.

Immediately, the stool fell to the ground, and the mother and daughter were hanging there together...

The night was dark and dead.

"Whoosh!"

A wild cat with jet-black fur suddenly jumped in from the window, then jumped onto the table next to it, and then jumped onto the beam with a sudden leap.

It quickly flew over the little girl's head, and its sharp teeth instantly penetrated Bai Ling. With a "chi" sound, it shook its head and began to bite quickly.

"Crack!"

The little girl fell to the ground.

She turned pale, breathed hard, covered her neck, raised her head, and looked at the pair of black wildcats on the beam that glowed fluorescently in the dark.

The wild cat began to bite another white silk quickly.

Yang Ping'er's eyes widened and her legs began to kick weakly.

"Crack!"

She also fell down and sat on the ground.

After a while, she breathed heavily, raised her head, and looked at the beam.

The expressions on the mother and daughter's faces ranged from confusion to shock, and then to fear.

On the beam, the wild cat with dark fur stood there with a pair of cold eyes, looking down at them.

"Meow--"

The little wild cat meowed softly.

Mother and daughter trembled, hugged each other, raised their heads, and looked at him tremblingly.

Luo Xiaolou said tremblingly: "Mother, Maomao won't let us die..."

Yang Ping'er's face was filled with tears, and she hugged her tightly and said, "But we have no other way to go... Mother can't just watch you fall into the tiger's mouth, that beast will bully you, wuwu... "

Luo Xiaolou helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Mom, let's run away. Let's go find Brother Qingzhou, okay? When Brother Qingzhou wins the imperial examination, he won't be afraid of them anymore..."

Yang Ping'er cried and said: "Xiaolou, we are the Luo family. Even if Qingzhou is elected, he can't care about the affairs of the Luo family. It's all my mother's fault. Back then... Qingzhou's mother was killed by them. Mother should have known that you couldn’t stay here any longer, and mother should have taken you away at that time..."

"Mother..."

Luo Xiaolou said with tears: "Otherwise, let Xiaolou go. After Xiaolou is married, my mother will find a way to escape..."

"No, no!"

Yang Ping'er hugged her tightly and cried loudly: "Mom would rather die than let that beast hurt you..."

The little wild cat squatted on the beam and watched this scene silently.

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Immediately, a maid's voice came: "Second Madam, get up quickly! By Madam's order, we are taking Miss Xiaolou away."

When the mother and daughter heard this, they immediately stood up.

Yang Ping'er held her daughter tightly in her arms and begged outside with a trembling voice: "Let me sleep with me in Xiaolou for one night. I beg you."

The maid outside shouted impatiently: "Open the door quickly. Do you dare to disobey Madam's order? If you don't open the door, we will break down the door!"

Yang Ping was afraid that they would find Bai Ling, so she took her daughter out of the room crying, and said to the maid outside the door: "Where are you going to take my little building? Please, don't hurt her..."

"Bang!"

The maid outside the door said no more nonsense, kicked the door open suddenly, rushed in like a wolf, snatched the little girl out of her arms, and dragged her away.

Yang Ping'er cried and rushed forward to snatch it back, but was stopped by the other two maids.

"I don't know what's wrong!"

The maid holding Luo Xiaolou gave a cold shout and immediately took Luo Xiaolou away.

When the other two maids saw them leaving the door, they let go of the crying Yang Ping'er.

One of the maids seemed a little soft-hearted and whispered: "Second Madam, Madam just received the news that Mr. Meng of Chengguo Mansion was suddenly killed in the brothel. Xiaolou should be fine..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Ping'er's crying stopped abruptly.

"You talk so much, be careful if the madam cuts off your tongue!"

Another maid immediately warned.

The soft-hearted maid's expression suddenly changed, and she hurried away without daring to say anything more.

The two maids quickly walked out of the door and disappeared.

Yang Ping'er's face was filled with tears, and she stood blankly at the door. After being stunned for a long time, Fang murmured: "That beast... is dead? Was it killed?"

The little wild cat on the roof beam had already swooped out of the window and followed the three maids leisurely.

Luo Xiaolou was locked up alone in another small courtyard.

Three maids guarded it.

The little wild cat jumped on the roof, uncovered the tiles, and jumped into the room from the beams.

Luo Xiaolou was wearing a red dress and was sitting in the corner of the bed holding her knees, silently shedding tears.

Three maids stood in the corridor outside the door, chatting in low voices.

The little wild cat jumped onto the bed soundlessly.

When Luo Xiaolou saw it, he trembled with fright, opened his eyes wide, and looked at it with tears in his eyes.

The little wild cat had gentle eyes and slowly approached her. His amber eyes met hers, signaling her not to be afraid.

Luo Xiaolou seemed to feel its kindness, and slowly stretched out his hand, picked it up, and then held it in his arms, kissed its head, with tears in his eyes, said into its ear: "Mao Mao, thank you. You... thank you for saving me and my mother..."

The little wild cat stretched out its soft paws, caressed Mo Mo slowly on her little face, and helped her wipe the tears on her cheeks.

Luo Xiaolou opened his eyes wide and stared at it blankly.

The little wild cat hesitated for a moment, then gently scratched her palm with his paw and wrote on it.

"Don't be afraid, it will be fine."

I wrote it several times.

Luo Xiaolou finally saw it clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he trembled: "You...you..."

The little wild cat didn't stay any longer, and immediately jumped out of her arms, jumped a few times, and jumped onto the beam above her head.

Then, he jumped from the beam to the roof.

After observing on the roof for a while, his eyes fell on the courtyard where the eldest lady lived and the courtyard where Luo Yu lived.

Both places were illuminated by a very rich blood light, like flames burning, and they were obviously guarded by master warriors.

He didn't dare to run around anymore. He left Chengguo Mansion and ran to the Imperial Examination Hall along the corner of the street.

His body was too far away and no one was watching him, so he felt uneasy.

Soon, he arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall.

He stuck to the corner of the wall, observed the surroundings, listened to the noise for a while, then jumped onto the wall, and then jumped down quietly.

He walked along the corner of the wall, avoided the night patrol, and quickly got into the compartment where his body was.

Then, his soul returned to his body.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The little black cat was stunned in the compartment for a while, then quickly jumped out, jumped onto the wall, was seen by several guards, and then jumped out.

The two guards quickly chased him out, observed for a while, and came back when they saw nothing unusual.

Luo Qingzhou went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, the third exam began.

At this time, many candidates could not hold on any longer, and they all held their last breath and began to do the questions seriously.

The test papers were handed out.

Luo Qingzhou grinded the ink quietly, and after a while, he looked at the first question.

It was still the content recited in the book.

Then, given a sentence, write an argument based on the current political situation, at least 300 words.

After Luo Qingzhou finished writing, he looked at the next question.

This question suddenly made his heart jump.

"What do you think of the current court's debate on the hereditary title of Dayan? Who is right and who is wrong? Express your own views truthfully, at least 500 words."

Luo Qingzhou looked at this question, pondered for a long time, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and answered truthfully.

He also discussed this topic with the eldest princess and the second lady.

Most of the families with titles are descendants of meritorious service, which is what they deserve.

It is precisely because of this title that countless people have fought one after another, not afraid of sacrifice, and served the country and the people.

Didn't Li Guang fight desperately to kill the enemy just to be a marquis?

However, after three generations of inheritance, if the descendants only know how to eat, drink and have fun, wasting the state salary in vain, it is naturally not right.

At least one person in the family should come out to highlight his value to the country before he can continue to enjoy the original title salary.

Otherwise, there are meritorious people everywhere who only know how to enjoy and not work, and the country will be finished sooner or later.

Now this topic is very sensitive.

The eldest princess is on one side, and the other court ministers, princes and nobles are on another side.

The eldest princess proposed not to abolish the hereditary title directly, but to abolish the family titles that have been inherited for three generations, but no one in the family has the ability to contribute to the country and the people.

So Luo Qingzhou actually supports it.

However, he also knows that there are very few people in the court who support the eldest princess now, and most of them are against it, otherwise this policy would not be difficult to carry out.

Luo Qingzhou did not shy away from it, told the truth, and answered it quickly.

The next question was "How to increase the population of a county without reducing taxes?"

Luo Qingzhou had seen too many of these questions in his previous life, and after a moment's hesitation, he answered them.

Encourage agriculture and commerce, develop the economy, and use local resources to trade, so that people have things to do, food to eat, and places to live. At the same time, crack down on all kinds of crimes, so that the people in the jurisdiction can live and work in peace and contentment.

People's living conditions are better and their burdens are lighter, so they will naturally be happy to have children. At the same time, when the people in neighboring counties and states see this, they will naturally flock to settle here...

Luo Qingzhou quickly wrote a long article.

The last question was to write an article in the form of parallel prose, expressing one's aspirations through objects.

The content and number of words are not limited.

Parallel prose is a style that every reader knows. It uses words and sentences to contrast with each other, and couplets to form a chapter. The whole article pays attention to the neatness of parallelism and the sonority of rhythm.

Luo Qingzhou searched carefully in his mind before he settled down.

After a brief moment of silent reflection, he picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote: "Mountains are not high, but they are famous if there are immortals. Water is not deep, but it is magical if there are dragons. This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant..."

After answering all the questions, it was already afternoon.

He checked carefully several times, then sat down quietly, waiting for the papers to be collected.

The time for collecting papers today was relatively early.

In the evening, the bell rang, and the exam was over.

When the papers were collected one by one, Luo Qingzhou clearly heard various sounds coming from each compartment.

There were cries, sounds of beating the moon and stamping the feet, sounds of slapping oneself, and sounds of triumphant laughter.

Luo Qingzhou put away his things, walked out of the compartment, and prepared to go out.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, many parents and relatives of the candidates had already gathered, waiting eagerly.

Luo Qingzhou thought for a while, and turned back.

When the rest of the candidates had almost left, he slowly walked out.

At this time, not only the people of Qin Mansion were waiting for him anxiously outside, but also the servants of Chengguo Mansion were watching in the crowd.

Luo Qingzhou staggered, and just as he walked out of the door, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted on the ground.

Song Ruyue, who was staring at the door in the crowd, was startled and hurriedly said: "Quick! Go and help the son-in-law up!"

The maids and servants all ran to the door.

But after running a few steps, Luo Qingzhou, who was lying on the ground, was carried up by a slender figure in a light green dress.

She held the sword, her pretty face was cold, and no one dared to approach.

Xiaodie and Qiu'er ran over and followed her.

Song Ruyue immediately took them to the carriage.

Not long after.

Wang, the eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion, got the news.

"That boy vomited blood and fainted just after leaving the examination room, and was carried back by someone... He looked very ill..."

Wang Cheng said again: "Judging from the situation, that boy had been ill in there for a long time. I guess he couldn't answer many of those questions. He must have failed this time..."

Wang Shi frowned, took a sip of tea, and said: "Will the results be announced the day after tomorrow?"

Wang Cheng said: "Yes."

Wang Shi didn't say anything else.

Wang Cheng glanced at her, bowed and retreated.

Wang Shi sat in the hall for a while, then stood up and said: "Let's go and see how Yu'er is doing. There are still two days, Yu'er should be able to hold her temper."

An old nanny walked out of the corridor, and a strong maid followed her silently.

Luo Qingzhou was carried back to Qin's house by Xia Chan.

As soon as he entered the room, he took the opportunity to bite the girl's ear and whispered, "Chanchan, don't worry, the son-in-law is pretending."
