"Every scholar has his own master when the wind changes. The rise and fall of hundreds of years, especially politics and religion!"

"From the ministers to the nobles, everyone does their best!"

Su Ziji is no longer Coiling Dragon Heart Method, Coiling Dragon Heart Method has been recited seven times, Young Dragon has been sustained, and the content of Four Books and Five Classics is now being recited.

After reading this paragraph, a line of words [Experience +1] floated up, and half of Rosewood Pendant appeared automatically: "Four Books and Five Classics 7 level (0/7000)"

"Finally level 7." Su Ziji silently realized that there were no big changes after the upgrade, but he did have a more detailed understanding of the content of Four Books and Five Classics.

On that day County Examination, I felt that my article was impeccable, but now that I think about it, there are still many deviations.

"In the imperial court election system, County Examination is held once a year in February every year, while Prefectural Examination is held once every two years in April every year, and Provincial Examination is held once every three years, in August this year."

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult for any county, prefecture or province to win the ranking at one time. I wonder if I can win the ranking at the same time?"

Don't look at the fact that there are often consecutive small and big three yuans in novels. In fact, according to Su Ziji's experience, and as the evaluation level of articles improves, we realize that Provincial Graduate's level is at least double that of Cultivated Talent.

Without cheating, it would be impossible for anyone to advance to this level within half a year. It would take at least three to five years.

Just thinking about it, Shell Maiden stepped forward and saluted, and his voice became more cheerful. "Master, thank you for teaching me, but Dragon Palace has nothing to entertain you now, and someone has called you, so please go back!"

"Please come again next time!"

"Isn't it? You didn't even entertain me, so you just crossed the river and burned the bridge?" Before Su Ziji could react, he felt in a daze and the environment changed. Someone was shouting, "Master, Master, wake up quickly."

"..." Su Ziji just woke up and saw the boatman's face. "What's the matter? Is it noon?"

"No, sir, something happened." The boatman said anxiously, "There are several floating corpses on the lake."

Su Ziji was startled, quickly got up, got dressed in a hurry, and didn't forget to ask, "Did you wake up my sister?"

The two walked together and called themselves brother and sister to avoid attracting criticism.

"No, this kind of thing is not appropriate for a girl's family."

Su Ziji got out of the cabin, and when he took a look, he saw that the dark clouds were gradually dispersing, and the clear water in the lake was rippling. It was an excellent scenery, but a floating corpse not far away really made the scenery terrible.

"According to our rules, this kind of thing has to be salvaged and buried by the family, so as to accumulate some virtue for the descendants. It's just a young master. This is a bit bad luck. What do you mean..."

"Salvage it, I don't mind the bad luck."

"Besides the corpse, let's see if we can save anyone."

Looking at the clothes of the floating corpse, Su Ziji frowned and immediately realized that this was probably the people on the boat, whether they were chess players or innocent people who had been affected.

The boatman's salvage is not entirely for the purpose of accruing evil deeds. The family members who claim the fish will pay for it and there is a profit to be made. In this case, how can Su Ziji stop it?

"Okay, sir, sit tight." The boatman was happy and nodded in agreement.

There were still some rough waves on the water, but not too big. After catching two of them, they were gone. It looked like they were floating in the distance.

"Get ready to go back..." After waiting for a while, they found that there were only logs and debris floating on the lake, and there was no one around. Su Ziji glanced at it and said to the boatman.

At this moment, a slightly larger ship came quickly from a distance and was nearby in an instant.

"This is a flying wing ship!"

This kind of boat is not big, with a small bow, a wide stern and a pointed bottom. The wide stern can divert water, and it is very fast, but it does not carry much. It is only used for water police, and ordinary people have no use at all.

As soon as we got close, someone jumped on the boat. He was a man in green. This man was tall and tall, with bright eyes. He was not angry and intimidating. He only glanced at it and said, "Who are you?"

"The student is Linhua County Examination Student Su Ziji. I just saw someone's body floating in the lake, so I asked the boatman to salvage it."

"I wonder who you are?"

It's good to have a reputation. The man in Tsing Yi's face softened a little. "We are the people who patrol the Yamen in this county. Something happened on the lake and we are patrolling."

With that said, he waved his hand, and a man ran up to him, inspected the floating corpse, and immediately stood up and shook his head.

"Who else is in there?"

"There are female relatives inside." Su Ziji looked unhappy.

"We are acting under public orders." If it was Provincial Graduate, he might still have concerns, just one Examination Student. Now Su Ziji had to wake up Ye Buhui and let it search.

"There's no one on board, and there's no one off the boat!"

"That's weird, isn't this the ship where the thieves are hiding?"

Someone was talking in a low voice, but Ye Buhui couldn't hear it if he was a little far away. Only Su Ziji, with his five senses, could hear the content clearly.

"Are they looking for someone?" Su Ziji frowned, not doubting that these people were official officials.

Thieves and bandits also have murderous aura, but the same violence, without official duties, the majesty of "I am the king", this kind of expert will know it at a glance.

Seeing that these people did not hesitate to take out their spears and dive into the water, and stabbed them hard under the boat, they knew that they were looking for a criminal, and they still wanted him to die immediately.

Moreover, Su Ziji felt that even though he had reported his identity, there were still people on the ship who looked at him with suspicion and scrutiny. One of them in particular, who seemed to be a scribe, stared at him for a moment before looking away.

When they found that they couldn't find the person they were looking for, their faces became even worse. They waved their hands and said, "Get on the boat and search the lake again."

"Yes!"

"Su Ziji, why are these people so weird?" Ye Buhui remained silent. After their ship had gone away, he complained to Su Ziji in a low voice, "They look like a group of desperadoes."

"They are not desperadoes. Although they may not be patrolling, they must be from the government." Ordinary patrolling is just to deal with local gangsters and maintain law and order. It does not have such a strong and majestic power.

This is a temperament that only comes from being used to arresting and killing people in a grand manner.

"I don't know what these days are, but I have encountered so many things." Ye Buhui believed it, sighed, glanced into the distance, suddenly pulled Su Ziji's sleeve and pointed. "There seems to be someone there."

Su Ziji glanced around and noticed something strange in the water not far away. Someone was holding a wooden board and calling for help.

"Excuse me, go there." Su Ziji ordered the boatman.

At this time, except for some wind and waves, there was no danger on the lake. The boatman did not object and rowed across.

"Go a little further and pull him up!" Su Ziji said.

The boatman carefully parked the boat nearby and jumped into the water to fish it out. When others fished it out, they discovered that it was a young man who looked slightly bigger than Su Ziji, but not much bigger.

When they got to the boat, the young man vomited the water in his stomach. With a pale face, he saluted Su Ziji: "Thank you so much for the rescue. I will never forget your life-saving grace."

"..." Originally this was a normal thing, but remembering what the person who called himself Patrol Inspectorate did just now, Su Ziji's eyes were slightly scrutinized, and he said warmly, "Su Ziji, what do you call me brother?"

"Brother Su, my surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Buhan, but I am a member of my family. Brother Su's life-saving grace is really unforgettable. Please come to the city, and I will express my gratitude." Sun Buhan bowed.

"Sun Buhan?" Su Ziji now has a very good memory. When he mentioned his name, he vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person among the Huafang scholars, but he was from Huafang next door. He had seen him once in a hurry, and his expression immediately relaxed.

As long as it's a person with a name, you won't be afraid of saving the wrong person.
