What did the fourth son say to Zhao Zhen?
As soon as the first twenty candidates entered the venue, the fourth boy had his eyes on one of them.
Didn't the fourth son see a young official turning into salt in front of Zhao Zhen before? However, at that time, Zhao Zhen summoned all the civil and military officials to go to court. The fourth son searched around and couldn't find the official. Think about it.
Seeing that the man was very young, everyone speculated that it happened when Zhao Zhen met the candidates after the martial arts test.
In the last round of today's test, the top twenty candidates were all wearing the same clothes. The fourth boy could tell at a glance that the clothes were the "official robes" he saw, so he looked at the twenty candidates one by one.
Face to face, I found the person I saw.
After calling out the candidates for Zhao Zhen to see, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and asked the fourth son to tell Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to keep an eye on that person for a while.
When the fourth boy was about to go down, the minister started to hold him and pass him down one level at a time. Maybe every official wanted to try hugging the dumpling, but in the end, passing him down became to the side. Just sit down.
Gongsun, who was in the first row, watched speechlessly as the senior officials in the stands passed their sons around. The fourth son was passed around the field twice.
Finally, it was passed to Zhan Zhao, and the fourth son crossed his arms and pouted, quite unhappy.
Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo both reached out to poke him in the face, and the fourth son covered his cheeks and crawled into Bai Yutang's arms.
Fifth Master asked him to sit on his lap, helped him block Zhang Zhao and Lin Yehuo, and asked him, "Have you found that person?"
The fourth boy nodded and pointed to one of the candidates.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and touched their chins - who is this?
Lin Yehuo checked the candidate list and asked, "Tenth place? Wang Xu...which sect does this guy belong to?"
Zhan Zhao couldn't help but ask the fourth child, who was leaning in Bai Yutang's arms and eating snacks, "Are you sure he is that person?"
The fourth boy nodded.
"So the one who turned to salt this time is not from the Maoshan sect?" Lin Yehuo was also puzzled.
"If there is no sect recorded in the form, it does not represent the sect. They are all private entries." Seeing Lin Yehuo's sleeve being held down by his arm, Zou Liang raised his hand, "There are generally two situations for private entries.
One is that people from a well-off family have hired many famous teachers to teach them since childhood, most of them are good at both civil and martial arts. The other is that they are born with extraordinary talents in divine power, and their martial arts are obtained through fighting...just like Xiaotian, but this kind is rare
."
"Are these two situations?" Lin Yehuo saw Zou Liang tugging on his sleeve, so he grabbed it and continued to occupy the armrest of his chair with his sleeve, "Are there no other situations?"
"If there is a third situation..." Zou Liang frowned, "It's a ghost."
"What is it?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him in confusion.
Zou Liang lowered his voice and said, "This kind of candidates are called ghost candidates. They are experts who lie about their age. They are hired by some candidates' families to pave the way and clear obstacles for their own candidates."
Lin Yehuo blinked, "Could it be for cheating?"
Zou Liang nodded, "Such a situation has happened before. For example, if one's own candidates have around twenty scores, then Gui will try his best to get into the top ten. In this way, in the final round of drawing, once Gui and his employer happen to be drawn together,
Then the ghost will lose on purpose to ensure that the employer can enter the palace examination. But if he and the employer are not drawn together, then the employer will find a way to get the eleventh position, and the ghost will be responsible for entering the top ten and then withdrawing, the same can
Guarantee the employer to be in the top ten.”
"If this is discovered, the consequences will be serious, right?" Zhan Zhao feels that it is quite difficult to operate, and once exposed, the eleventh person will definitely be the employer, and he will not be able to escape.
Zou Liang nodded, "So it is expressly prohibited. Once found, you will not be allowed to enter the officialdom for life, and it is indeed very difficult to implement. Basically, you have to bribe the examiners who draw lots, which is very risky. This is why there are two types of martial arts examinations.
The reason why an official is responsible is to prevent cheating. Every year, the Taiwei and Qingpinghou jointly preside over the military examination, and Qingpinghou is mainly responsible for supervision, because there is basically no possibility of bribery with him. "
Zhan Zhao and others all looked up to see the tenth-placed candidate, so was he a human or a ghost?
After all the candidates saluted Zhao Zhen, the exam officially began.
The first pair to enter the arena were the two candidates ranked tenth and eighth.
Zhao Pu and others have quite a lot of experience in watching games. Usually the first five groups are better to watch because the rankings are close and the fights are exciting. However, the last five groups have basically no suspense because of the disparity in strength.
It's the same as watching a martial arts test. A layman can watch the fun, and an expert can watch the door. In martial arts, as long as others are better than you, they can see through the tricks you play.
The No. 18 fight looked lively, and they seemed to be on equal footing, but in fact, Zhan Zhao and the others could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
"I'll go..." Huofeng held his chin and moved forward, raising his eyebrows a little, "Isn't this Xingyuelou's Kung Fu? He is still a master."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.
As the largest killer organization in the world, Xingyue Tower has committed countless crimes. In the previous case of Ehudao, with the arrest of Liu Xingyue, the owner of Xingyue Tower, and King Boyang, the mastermind behind the scenes, a large number of killers were eliminated. From then on, Xingyue Tower
After that, he disappeared from the world. Maybe there were a few fish that slipped through the net at that time. Why did they come to participate in the martial arts test?
"Although this kid has been hiding his inner strength and moves, he must be from Xingyue Tower." Zhan Zhao frowned, "Do you think he knows we are here?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "Let's not talk about it for now. Everyone here knows about Zhao Pu. Even candidates with good kung fu can see his body skills..."
Sure enough, everyone looked at the candidates who were watching the battle, and saw Wang Lin and Nangong Qin both frowning and staring at Wang Xu on the ring. Shen Mao asked them in a low voice, "Did I see it wrong? This is not Xingyue.
Is it Lou’s skill?”
Nangong Qin nodded, "I've seen this guy in a few rounds before, and I thought he was a bit like Xingyue Tower's Kung Fu."
"He should have covered it up at that time, but he was a bit brave today." Wang Lin felt incredible, "There are so many masters in the stands, aren't you afraid of being caught?"
…
"Knowing that he would be discovered..." Zhao Pu asked He Yihang, who was frowning at the side, "Why do you think he dared to do this?"
"I'm sure we won't be able to catch him even if we find out." He Yihang replied.
"For example, Salt Escape or something." Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, lowered his head and leaned over to poke the little fourth son's fleshy chin, "So the little fourth son is accurate, right?"
Bai Yutang also lowered his head and shook the dumpling on his lap, "Of course Xiaosi is right!"
The little fourth son smiled and stretched out his hand to give them some snacks. Lin Yehuo also came over and poked the little fourth son in the belly.
Many of the courtiers watching around were not interested in watching the game anymore. They thought the atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion was quite relaxed and loving.
Soon, the first game was over, and Wang Xu got the first place in the top ten. Although it was a narrow victory, an expert could tell at a glance that Wang Xu's martial arts was actually higher than that of the eighth-place martial artist.
few.
Zhao Zhen also praised Wang Xu a few words. Of course, he was thinking at the same time, when will you turn into salt and show me?
However, Wang Xu did not change his temper. After thanking Zhao Zhen for the compliment, he got off the stage. When he received strange looks from several candidates, he did not seem to care.
Zhao Zhen signaled that the next round would continue.
The fourth son made it very clear that what he saw was that the "officials" were standing in two rows, so Wang Xu only became salty after the competition was over and the candidates collectively saluted him.
The martial arts competition continued, and the next few rounds were exciting and exciting. There were many martial arts practitioners present and they enjoyed watching it.
The fourth son was carried back by Gongsun, and the father and son also watched the martial arts test seriously for the first time. The two doctors, the elder and the younger, who didn't know any martial arts at all, were frightened when they saw it. They always thought that this palm might be slapped.
Don't you have to break two ribs when you get there? Won't the thigh bone break with such a kick on the leg?
Zhao Pu noticed that a big boy and a boy beside him suddenly jumped up and suddenly covered their mouths. Their reaction was extremely cute.
As the moon reaches its zenith, the atmosphere reaches its peak, and soon, the final three rounds of competition will begin.
The third place Shen Mao and Xu Changen from the Maoshan School walked up to the stand together. After saluting each other, Shen Mao looked at the opposite side up and down and thought to himself - will this guy turn into salt after being slapped for a while?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked back and saw Shen Tianyu in the stands rolling his eyes anxiously, saying to himself, "You have already saluted. If you don't prepare well for the game, what are you staring at?"
As the invigilator shouted "Start!"
Xu Changen flew towards Shen Mao, spread his palms, and launched a flying kick.
Everyone in the stands subconsciously leaned back - oh! So fierce!
Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang went to see Su Jiugu and Mei Bushe who were watching the battle on the other side. Obviously, the Maoshan sect was well prepared! Tian Yuxuan's kung fu is mainly about speed, and Shen Mao's movement is flexible and he is smart, so they can compete with him in speed.
It's useless, be more ruthless.
Xu Changen flew up and ran towards Shen Mao's heart. If he kicked him, someone might be killed.
Gongsun and Xiaosizi's eyes widened, thinking why not just compete in martial arts, what kind of hatred and grudges are there!
Shen Tianyu was even more nervous than Shen Mao. His son was deserting, and the other party also launched a surprise attack...
Among so many people, only Zhan Zhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that this kid Shen Mao was quite interesting.
Xu Changen had already arrived, but Shen Mao didn't move. He was about to succeed, but Shen Mao suddenly disappeared.
There was a "wow" in the stands.
Shen Tianyu was also stunned - this move...
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and Lin Yehuo also clapped his hands, "Clever!"
By the time Xu Changen came to his senses, Shen Mao was already behind him.
"Is this the trick Kong Yue used to sneak attack Mei Bushe and you?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Bai Yutang nodded, "He should have seen it when I drilled the hole that day."
"I learned quite quickly." Zhao Pu thought it was quite interesting. Shen Mao deliberately used this trick to punish the Maoshan disciples in front of Mei Bushe. He was very dark.
Zhan Zhao and others also looked at Mei Bu Sheng and Su Jiu Gu. Su Jiu Gu was fine, but Mei Bu Sheng had never recovered from her injury, and now her face was even darker.
"Did he do it on purpose?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "The Maoshan sect bullied his father so much, and he seems to have remembered it all."
