Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 513 There Was No Fight

He was making pancakes on the kang, but he still woke up Jiang Chan who was beside him.

Jiang Chan laughed at him, "You were talking about me before, but now it's your turn, isn't it the same?"

"Oh..." Luo Sanmu sighed. He had no words to defend himself, nor was he in the mood to defend himself.

Jiang Chan didn't rush to comfort him, but talked about herself, "I can't choose it anyway. It's such a difficult question. The first few sound familiar, but the latter ones are incomprehensible.

Anyway, we have land at home, and we can find a lot of work to do throughout the year. Life is much better than before. Don't force yourself and insist on being selected. It doesn't matter if you can't be a yamen runner, you can still live the same life."

At this point, Jiang Chan also sighed, "It's Yun'er who makes me worried. If she doesn't get selected, she can't just stay in school this year. She doesn't have the brains to learn embroidery, ah!"

Jiang Chan propped herself up and wanted to ask Luo Sanmu what plans he had for Luo Yun's future, but found that he had fallen asleep.

the next day.

The Luo family got up early again, but unlike yesterday, the family ate at home before leaving.

Luo Shitou also followed. He heard from his fellow villagers that today was more fun than yesterday because they could watch the adults fight.

There were more people signing up for the martial arts test than the literary test. Luo Sanmu's family arrived later than yesterday and were squeezed at the back of the crowd. They couldn't even see the gate of the county government.

"Make way, make way, my man has signed up." Jiang Chan pushed Luo Sanmu forward.

"Don't push." ​​The people next to them looked at them dissatisfiedly, "If you are late, just queue at the back. It's your fault for coming late."

"You guys who are here to watch the fun should squeeze in the front..." Jiang Chan wanted to argue with the person who was talking, but Luo Sanmu pulled her back, "Forget it."

Jiang Chan disagreed, "Forget about it now, you won't even be able to enter the gate of the county government later."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Luo Sanmu was stronger than the average man, so if things really didn't work he could force his way through.

It was almost noon when a gong sounded in the front. "Quiet!" someone shouted loudly in the front. Jiang Chan recognized the voice. It was the Eighth Master in the county government.

"Today's martial arts exam has three tests. The first one is five miles south along the official road. There is a checkpoint set up by the county government. There is a small green flag on the checkpoint. You have to take the small flag back. The first twenty people to return will be considered to have passed the first test."

Then another gong sounded, "Begin!"

Luo Sanmu reacted quickly, pulling his family and Zheng Xidong outside. He knew that if the people squeezed inside wanted to get out, there would be pushing and shoving, and if they fell to the ground and couldn't get up, they would suffer.

Meng Changqing looked at Bafang, who was still laughing happily. Meng Changqing shouted at the people at the door, "No pushing or shoving. Whoever pushes someone and makes them fall will be disqualified!"

At this time, Luo Sanmu was glad that he did not squeeze in. After running for a distance, he let go of his hand, asked Jiang Chan and the others to wait by the side, and he quickly ran towards the checkpoint.

The more people are crowded inside, the more anxious they become. They can't get out. If they are slow, they will fall behind by a long distance.

By the time the crowd had completely moved away, Luo Sanmu had already run a mile away.

He is the fastest runner so far.

However, a round trip of ten miles does not require a quick response.

Luo Sanmu, who was originally in first place, moved up to second, third, and fifth place as time went by.

At the gate of the county government office, Bafang shrunk his neck and waited for Meng Changqing to scold him. However, after waiting for a long time, Meng Changqing only said, "Think about it carefully."

Bafang thought to himself that it would be better to just scold him, but when he noticed the children watching the fun in the crowd, he felt scared. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise he would have been guilty of a serious crime.

When Luo Shitou saw his fellow villager, he didn't have time to say anything to Jiang Chan, he just rushed over, "Xiaopang, there was no fight at all!"

Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "I heard it from others."

I waited for a while until a vendor selling fried soybeans appeared in the crowd, and finally I saw someone looking back.

Bafang learned from the lesson and immediately organized yamen runners to guide the crowd and clear a path leading directly to the gate of the county yamen.
