Ask Sword

  Chapter 70 Tear Up

"snort."

  Looking at the backs of Li Ang and Yong Hongzhong striding away, the faces of the noble boys all darkened.

  One snorted coldly, and muttered: "What's the air? Those who don't know think he is the prime minister's son."

"alright."

   Qiu Jinghuan glanced at him, "After the exam is over, we will know the result naturally.

  If he can pass the exam, that's all.

  If you fail the exam”

   "What will happen if you fail the exam?"

  The voice of a middle-aged man suddenly sounded from nearby, Qiu Jinghuan was startled, turned his head and found that it was a middle-aged man.

  He has a thin face, a mustache, and a smile on his face. He is wearing a slack shirt—the left sleeve of the slack shirt is so long that it completely covers his left hand.

   "Mr. Yang Yu."

  Qiu Jinghuan heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly cupped his hands, and the noble teenagers beside him also saluted respectfully.

  Xi Yangyu, one of the directors of the academy, is the master of Zhuxiaojing.

  As the best and largest college in the world,

   There was a mountain chief,

  One sacrificial wine,

  Four divisions,

  Hundreds of PhDs, honorary doctorates, and teachings.

  Most of the Academy Doctors are the best Academy disciples in the past, or monks with extremely high achievements in certain fields.

  Most of them are obsessed with the study of cultivation and the principles of heaven and earth, the study of practical knowledge, and generally do not love power and wealth. Even asking for money, such as helping others to write Qingfeng Talisman, Cool Wind Talisman, Soil Rong Talisman, Water Travel Talisman, etc., is basically to raise funds for their own research.

  Xi Yangyu is just the opposite. He is the one who likes to make friends with powerful people among all the academic doctors.

  Frequently in and out of Xungui's mansion, and served as a client of more than a dozen companies, consultants of dozens of firms, making money and spending money like running water,

  The house built in Shengyefang, Chang'an City, is as luxurious as a prince's mansion. There are groups of beautiful wives and concubines in it. It costs hundreds or even hundreds of guan to eat every day.

  As for the rich and powerful, Xi Yangyu who likes money,

  Naturally, he is more cordial and friendly than other doctors in the academy who are cold and talk about the principles of heaven and earth.

  Especially after Xi Yangyu was promoted to Zhuxiao Realm last year, from a Ph.

  The selection of the head of the school is not only from the designation of the previous head, but also from the voting and recommendation of all doctors and professors.

  In the past, most of the school masters were born from the sacrificial wine and departmental affairs at that time.

"Um."

  Xi Yang Yuyun nodded calmly, he often went to various noble mansions, and all these noble boys knew each other, "Let's go.

  The re-examination this year is a bit difficult, so be prepared. "

"yes."

  Seeing that Xi Yangyu didn't care about it, Qiu Jinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward with his companions.

  The moment he stepped into the examination room, he suddenly stopped and remembered something.

  Xi Yangyu. At the same time, he is also a guest of Zhao Wangfu in Yongjiafang.

"Ah."

  The corners of Qiu Jinghuan's mouth raised slightly, and he stepped into the shadow cast by the eaves.

  ——

  'There is only one exam paper for the re-examination, four. '

  Li Ang picked up a pen and wrote down the names of his hometowns in the upper left corner of the test paper, silently examining the test questions.

  The papers for the re-examination are an upgraded version of the initial examination. There are no scriptures and poems, but more policy questions and some weird questions.

  【About the pre-Qin philosophers, the following corresponding errors are】

  A. Alone communicates with the spirit of heaven and earth—Xunzi

   B. Although there are thousands of people, I will go—Mencius

  C. Know what is impossible and do it—Confucius

- Mozi

  ‘All right. First. '

   Li Ang filled in the answers and glanced at the exam questions below.

  There are various topics, including those that examine the laws of Yu,

  For example, if an official asks a businessman for money, should he be exiled, imprisoned, roded or flogged?

  A swordsman holds a sword and initiates a duel in the street to kill his father and enemy, and kills him, whether it is murder, intentional killing, fighting, or manslaughter.

  A woman was sold by her uncle Xu Ping to an ugly old widower in the same village for a price of 100 pennies during her parents' funeral. On the night of the wedding, the woman resisted to death, stabbed the widower with scissors and fled. The widower took the initiative to chase out of the house with a knife, and because of the bleeding from the wound, he accidentally fell down and hit the roadside stone and died.

  After the incident, the woman voluntarily reported to the government and surrendered herself.

  Ask the woman whether she should be sentenced, what kind of punishment should be sentenced, and what kind of punishment.

  This question not only tests the understanding of Yu Law, but also tests the students' moral and legal concepts.

   In addition, there are logical reasoning questions.

  Three passengers went to stay in the hotel, with a total of 30 Wen for room, ten Wen per person. Hearing their accents, the innkeeper felt that they were fellow villagers, so he forgave them five cents and asked the clerk to return the five cents to the three of them. But the man withheld two coins himself, and gave each passenger one coin.

  Thus, each passenger spent nine cash, a total of twenty-seven cash, and the clerk took two cash, which added up to twenty-nine, which was one penny short of the original thirty.

  Ask who took the money.

  For another example, there are fifty people in a firm, forty-eight can use a bow, forty-seven can ride a horse, forty-five can steer a boat, and forty can whistle.

  Ask the least number of people who know all skills.

   Li Ang worked the questions calmly and quickly until he encountered the last question.

  A lord of a savage native country in the Endless Sea recently got twelve extremely exquisite gold coins of the Fulin Kingdom, but one of them was forged and mixed with other metals.

  The lord of the country was extremely dissatisfied with this, and asked the wise man on the island—a captured sailor from the Zhou Kingdom—to find a way to find out the counterfeit gold coin.

  The condition is: the twelve gold coins are exactly the same in appearance, the weight of the real gold coins is all equal, and the weight of the counterfeit gold coins must be slightly heavier or lighter than the real gold coins.

  Seafarers couldn’t pick out counterfeit gold coins by feeling. The only weighing tool was a balance scale.

  And after the balance is used five times, it will be damaged and cannot be used for the sixth time.

   Another tool for sailors is a writing brush.

  Seafarers can mark all gold coins with a brush, which will not change the weight of any gold coin.

  If the sailor can use these two tools to find counterfeit gold coins, then the lord will give him a ship and let him return home to reunite with his family.

  In addition, sailors are not practitioners. They didn't know the weight of real gold coins. They couldn't bribe the lord or the lord's guards. They couldn't ask others for help. They could only rely on themselves.

  Question: Can the sailor use the balance scale to find out which counterfeit gold coin.

  If yes, at least how many times do you need to weigh?

  Write down the weighing process and the specific situations that may occur during the weighing process.

  ‘This question.’

  Li Ang raised his eyebrows, leaned back slightly, and scanned the examination room from the corner of his eyes.

  The students in the examination room are still troubled by the previous questions,

   Or biting the tip of the pen, thinking hard,

   or fidgeting, scratching ears and cheeks,

   Or with a numb face and no love in life,

   Some even cried on the spot.

  'Tsk, it's a pity that Liu Yemei is not in the examination room, otherwise I would like to know her expression when she is doing this question. '

  Li Ang thought casually, and wrote in the answer space—

"able."

  Just as Li Ang was swiftly writing the derivation process with his pen, the Haotian bell rang again,

  The two invigilators, one tall and one short in the examination room, suddenly walked to the front and slapped their palms three times.

  All candidates including Li Ang raised their heads in bewilderment.

  Among the two academy professors, the taller invigilator smiled and said, "There is still half an hour until the end of the exam.

  If you really can’t solve the questions, you can use another method to pass the re-examination.

   That is. destroying the test paper. "

  The shorter academic teacher added with a smile: "The papers used for this re-examination paper are all specially made.

  Students can try to destroy the test paper in any way without leaving their seats and without asking others for help.

  Tearing, tearing, cutting, poking, grinding. Even using aura—some of you may have already sensed the existence of heaven and earth aura through reading "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter".

  As long as you can cause damage to the test paper, you can get points when marking the paper.

  The higher the damage, the higher the final score.

   If the damage is to a certain extent, you can pass the retest directly. "

  Xue Gong’s words stunned all the students present,

  The voices of the invigilators from other examination rooms at the same time also proved that all this is true.

  Gao Xuegong nodded, "Next, if you have any questions about this rule, you can raise your hand and ask."

  A student immediately raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, what is the meaning of this rule?"

   “To discover different types of talent.”

  The short teacher replied with a smile: "The school is open to all kinds of cultures, and it accepts everything. There are similar links in previous years.

   It's just this year's turn. "

  It means that as long as you can destroy the test paper, you can be considered a talent, right?

  Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and tore the corner of the test paper with his hands.

   Sure enough, I found that the paper quality of these four test papers was extremely tough and difficult to break, and ink applied on them would not soften and deform.

  ‘This tearing feels like the leather of some kind of beast?

   Did it come from some kind of alienated substance? '

   Li Ang put down the paper thoughtfully.

  The meaning of this rule is actually to give many candidates a chance to pass the test besides doing the questions.

  Anyone who has a way to destroy the test paper is either born with divine power, or has shown spiritual talent in advance—whether it is a talisman, spell, or read.

  The students present, especially those candidates who were originally ashamed, regained their spirits,

  A test taker raised his hand and asked, "Then, teacher, if you succeed in destroying the test paper while doing the questions, can you still get extra points?"

   "Of course, as long as it doesn't damage the part of the topic you have already made."

  The tall teacher smiled and said: "In addition, we must pay attention to the reasonable allocation of time, energy, and physical strength.

   Don't even think about destroying the paper completely and getting the first place in the re-examination—only the monk listening to the rain can completely tear the test paper apart. "

   "So I suggest that candidates give priority to doing the questions before finally trying to destroy the test paper. The scores of the questions have priority over the performance of the damaged test paper.

  The score is high enough, so you can naturally pass the re-examination more smoothly. "

  The short teacher finally said: "If there is no problem, then everyone can continue.

  For this re-examination, 2,500 students will be selected from the 5,000 students. "

   After finishing speaking, the two instructors walked down the steps, Shi Shiran returned to the back of the examination room, and continued to drink tea.

   It's really relaxing.

  Seeing this, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, grabbed both ends of the test paper with both hands, and tore it forcefully.

  The test paper is taut, but there are no cracks.

  What about the discount?

   Li Ang repeatedly rubbed a corner of the test paper, but still failed to cause damage.

   Well, as expected.

   Sure enough, the Academy is not here to give away points, so let's continue answering the questions, anyway, it's almost finished.

   Li Ang shook his head and continued to write the last question.

   "Hey!"

"ah!"

   "Hmph ah ah ah ah!"

  In the examination room, the humming sounds of the candidates began to echo intermittently,

  A candidate with a strong physique and muscular body was clenching his teeth and pulling a corner of the paper with all his strength.

  The student recommended by the military department on his left stuffed the paper into his mouth, literally eating the book, biting the test paper hard.

  The student recommended by the Ministry of War on his right was smarter—first splashed ink on the test paper, trying to soften the test paper, and then poked it with the tip of the brush issued by the academy.

  'Sure enough, it is for body training. '

  The two professors at the back of the examination room sipped fragrant tea, looked at six directions, listened to all directions, looked at each other and smiled, and said everything without saying a word.

   "Swipe and pull."

  The sound of test papers passing across the table sounded, Li Ang picked up all the finished test papers, stood up from his seat, walked to the back of the classroom,

   Handed the exam papers to the two astonished professors, and asked respectfully, "Teacher, can I go?"

"ah"

  The tall teacher opened his mouth, glanced at the neat roll, smacked his lips, and nodded, "Is that Li Ang? Well, you can go, remember not to make any noise outside the examination room."

"OK."

  Li Ang nodded, turned around and walked towards the exit of the examination room,

  Amidst the complicated gazes of the candidates, he disappeared around the corner of the examination room.
