As they walked, they suddenly heard cheerful laughter in front of them.
They hurriedly walked over and saw a pavilion by the street.
There was a group of students sitting around them, discussing poetry and poetry papers.
Although Chu Botian knew martial arts, he still thought of himself as a scholar in the depths of his heart.
His fetish towards literary people was the same, so he immediately pulled Shen Mumin over.When they entered the pavilion, apart from the dejected middle-aged scholar, the group of students stared blankly at the beautiful queen beside him.
Only after a long time did they regain their senses.
When they saw Chu Botian dressed in scholarly attire, one of them asked, "Look at brother's handsome face.
Could it be that this year's test should be held?".When they walked into the pavilion, apart from the dejected middle aged scholar, the group of students looked at the beautiful queen beside him with wide eyes and mouths ajar.
Only after a long time did they regain their senses.
When they saw Chu Botian dressed in scholarly attire, one of them asked, "Brother, you have a handsome face.
Could it be that this year's test should be carried out?"Chubotian smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's fun.
I'm Zhenglong's twenty years old Lizhou.
My surname is Chu, and my name is Botian.
I'm here to participate in this year's capital exam."Everyone looked at his polite demeanor and was also attracted by his style.
The middle-aged, dispirited scholar heard that he was an upright person who had been around twenty years of age and thought that he had failed many times in the past, so they sympathized with each other.
Then, they all told him their names.
The middle-aged, dispirited scholar's surname was Zhong Zhong.
Originally, Zhenglong's, 11 years old, was a person who participated in the capital exam six times, but he still couldn't be selected.
He had been studying and selling calligraphy for a living at the capital.
He was an extremely passionate and persistent person, so he had participated in this gathering many times..Seeing that Chu Botian hadn't taken the initiative to introduce Shen Mumin to them, they didn't want to ask any further since they had lost their composure earlier.
The scholars were the ones who cared the most about their reputation.
Thus, everyone continued to discuss the topic, and it turned out that they were talking about the dialogue.He shook his head and said, "A ruler's gallbladder can fit mountains and rivers..." Then, he raised his other hand and said without hesitation, "One's heart can contain heaven and earth." Everyone sighed.
This phrase expressed everyone's desire for fame and the strong desire to report to a nation, so everyone felt the same way.There was a touch of sadness in Qiu Zhong's words as well.
"Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand Ten Thousand Rock Powder..." Everyone lowered their heads and thought.
This pair seemed simple, but it had a hidden meaning.
It was exactly the same as their determination to prepare for this battle.
No one could match it for a while.Seeing that no one was correct, Chu Botian blurted out, "Severing the flow of water with the whip." This phrase was not only neat, but also well-rounded.
The most rare thing was that the state of mind matched, and Jiezhong's words came out from his heart.
As everyone looked at Chu Botian with admiration, Jiezhong felt a sense of fortune.Shen Mumin was filled with pride and joy when he saw how talented his lover was.
He also shot him an affectionate look.At this time, a pleasant song came from the wind and only heard a singing voice, "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog.
In the middle of the night, the sky will go.
When there is not much time, it will be as if there is no place for you to find." Everyone was intoxicated.
When they woke up and no longer had the heart to stay, they all stood up and bid their farewells.Chubotian's judgement was somewhat brilliant, but he didn't know why he failed.
He couldn't help but pull him back and ask, "Brother, you have profound knowledge, so why did you fail?"With these words, he understood the injuries.
He sighed, "The root of the problem is 'Poor'!"Chubotian asked in confusion, "Poor?
The exam relies on literary talents.
What does it have to do with wealth?
I've never heard of any restrictions on the court's admission qualification."Jie Zhong said desolately, "You're the first to return to the capital, right?
You don't know."He looked around before continuing in a low voice, "The current dynasty is no longer something that His Majesty can control.
With the two factions led by Prime Minister Zhang Tingbao and General Guihai, they are in control of various aspects of the dynasty and government.
This exam has long become a path for them to gather wealth.
Without money, it will be harder than reaching the heavens if they want to pass the exam.".He looked around, then lowered his voice and continued, "The current dynasty isn't something that His Majesty can control anymore.
With the two factions led by Prime Minister Zhang Tingbao and General Guihai, they control the various aspects of the dynasty and government.
This exam has long become a path for them to gather wealth.
If they don't have money, it will be harder to pass the exam than ascending to heaven!"Only then did Chubotian understand why his father wanted him to bring a million silver notes.
It seemed like he really needed to spend money, but who would he give the money to?
Chubotian was at a loss for words, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wasn't Qian Zhong the one who brought the money to his door?Chu Botian smiled.
"No wonder.
By the way, I just arrived in the capital, so I'm not familiar with this place.
There are some things that I would like to ask you.
Let's have a seat in the teahouse over there!"Jiezhong didn't decline.
The three of them walked into the teahouse, found a corner, sat down, drank a good Longjing, and started chatting.Chu Botian cut straight to the chase and said, "At first, I would have been able to enter the secondary ranking if I hadn't learned it.
But now, I am using money to buy an official.
I don't lack money, but I have no way out.
I have been in the capital for 20 years.
Have you heard anything?".Chu Botian went straight to the point and said, "At first, I only learned it and was able to enter the secondary rankings.
But now, I'm using money to buy an official.
I don't lack money, but I have no way out.
I want to understand that brother has been in the capital for 20 years.
Did you find out anything?"Jie Zhong sighed, "I know some methods, but my life isn't down.
I rely on selling calligraphy and paintings to survive, but I don't have money to deal with them, so this relationship isn't reliable!"Chu Botian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter.
As long as there's a way, it's easy.
Brother Jie only needs to help me tie the strings.

Maybe you can even get rid of Brother Jie's achievements!"After saying that, he took out a banknote and handed it to Jiezhong, "Take this money and help me get it online.
It'll be easy as long as I see him!"Jie Zhong picked up the bank notes and took a look.
Heavens, it was just five thousand taels of silver.
He couldn't tell that the young man in front of him was a rich man.
Looks like he is really lucky.
He might even have a future ahead of him this time.
He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, young master Chu, for your trust in me.
I will contact you right now.
At the latest, I will send you news tomorrow afternoon.
I wonder where I should go to find you.".Jie Zhong picked up the bank notes and took a look.
Heavens, it was just five thousand taels of silver.
He didn't see that the young man in front of him was actually a rich man.
It seemed like he was really lucky.
Perhaps he really had a future ahead of him this time.
He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, young master Chu, for your trust in me.
I will contact you right now.
At the latest, I will send you news tomorrow afternoon.
I wonder where I should go to find you?"Chu Botian told him about the meeting time in the inn, so he left in excitement.After Qiu Zhong left, Shen Mumin couldn't help but say, "Husband, I just met someone.
Aren't you worried that he will take the money and won't come back to look for you?"Chu Botian laughed heartily and said, "Meier, you don't have to worry.
Befriending a friend is important to the heart.
I can tell that Qian Zhong is someone trustworthy!" He had always liked to befriend people in Lizhou City, and all of the three religions and ninth rank cultivators had come to visit him.
He was confident that he would have a good opinion of others.
Even though Qian Zhong was famous for his loyalty, he could tell that he was a kind and trustworthy person.."I can't tell that your family is rather wealthy.
I've heard that Lizhou is very prosperous.
Did you come from Lizhou?" Shen Mumin finally asked about Chu Botian's family background.Chu Botian explained his family's situation.
Naturally, he had to conceal his affairs, but he had just mentioned Ya'er.
Of course, he also asked Shen Mumin about his family background, and only then did he realize that she had a great background.It turned out that Shen Mumin was the Second Miss of the Shen family of the four major clans, Quan Province.
She was in the prime of her life.
The current head of the Shen family was also Shen Mumin's father, Shen Dehai.
He had a wife and five concubines.
There were a total of seven children.
Shen Mumin was the second eldest sister, and his superior was already married.
The rest of the younger siblings were only two or eight years old.Shen Dehai had three brothers.
One was an official at the fourth rank, while the others could be considered businessmen.Shen Mumin went out this time because he felt that the house was too stuffy and had run out on his own.
When she saw the disciples of the Wind Hall bullying people on the way, she went up to teach them a lesson.
However, the other party revealed a jade pendant.
She looked pretty, so she unceremoniously snatched it.
As a result, the people of the Wind Hall chased after her.After saying that, she took out a jade pendant and showed it to him.
However, when she saw that the jade pendant was carved with a beast's head and was feeling warm, it was still a piece of warm jade.
However, she couldn't tell what it was useful for, so she decided to keep it first.Since Shen Mumin came from one of the four great clans, he naturally didn't know much about the Jianghu.
Chu Botian took this opportunity to learn a lot about the Jianghu.The four great clans were the Shen family of the Quan Province, the Zhang family of the Azure Province, the Gongsun family of the Le Province, and the Murong family of Song Province.
These four clans were not only rich but also famous in the martial forest of the Jianghu.
Especially the Gongsun family, whose sword techniques were superb.
It was said that the Gongsun family's sword techniques had reached the pinnacle of mastery and could fly on swords.
The Zhang family was rumored to have a close relationship with Prime Minister Zhangting; the Murong family was a martial arts family with a history of three hundred years.
With over a thousand disciples, naturally their strength was extraordinary.
The Shen family was a business family, and in order to guarantee the benefits of business, every generation of the Shen family would spend a huge amount of money to obtain an official position in court..In the Jianghu, apart from some traditional sects, there were also some newly risen sects.
Although these sects didn't exist for a long time, they developed rapidly.
Amongst them, the Sun Moon Faction was the most rapid in their development.
There were estimated to be tens of thousands of disciples under them.
The Wind Wind Hall was known to have the Wind Hall, and the Sun Moon Faction was known to have the Sun Moon Faction wherever the sun and moon shined.
It could be seen that their strength was not ordinary..In the Jianghu, apart from some traditional sects, there were also some newly risen sects.
Although these sects didn't exist for a long time, they were able to develop rapidly.
Among them, the Sun Moon gang was the fastest to develop.
The number of disciples under them was estimated to be tens of thousands.
The Wind Wind Hall was known to have the Wind Hall, and the Sun Moon Gang was known to have the Sun Moon Gang wherever the sun and moon shined.
It could be seen that their influence was not ordinary.Chu Botian couldn't help but have a headache.
It seemed that provoking Wind Hall was definitely not a good thing.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wind Hall's people came.
There were five people in black with the special mark of Wind Hall.
These people were still holding portraits in their hands.
As they looked at the people in the shop, they compared the portraits.Chu Botian guessed that these people might be looking for him, so he immediately signalled Shen Mumin to prepare.
Sure enough, when they saw them, their eyes lit up and they shouted at the top of their voices, "It's them!
Capture them!"
