Chapter 109 On the way to the exam

A post station appeared ahead, and there was a tea shop next to the post station. Guests coming and going would have to rest here.

Yang Liang was tired from walking, so he sat down and asked the boss for a pot of tea.

While drinking tea, he stared at the system panel floating in front of him.

Although the days of being a fugitive were hard, he was taught and practiced by the mysterious statue every day. Today, Yangshou has unknowingly increased to 78 years old.

Although the daily reward of 200 destiny coins when he was a fugitive was canceled not long ago, Yang Liang still saved 3200 destiny coins.

Unconsciously, I felt like a dream. A few days ago, I was still a fugitive with no place to hide.Now, with a sudden change, he is now a student who is taking the exam and can openly participate in the provincial examination held in Pingzhou.

With these 3200 destiny coins, I have become rich.

Under the big poplar tree, Yang Liang opened the professional store and browsed the products available for purchase.

Yang Liang suddenly discovered that in addition to the professional store for scholars, the previous fugitive shop had not disappeared. He could also buy essential props for fugitives such as drugs.

He was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized, yes, although he was a scholar on the surface, he was actually a fugitive on the run, and his identity could not be discovered.

Yang Liang opened the taskbar again and found that the task of participating in the imperial examination was back.

Currently, there are two tasks hanging on the taskbar:

[Imperial Examination] and [Mysterious Statue]

The imperial examination tasks required traveling to Pingzhou to participate in the provincial examination held there. After obtaining the ranking, he had to go to the capital to participate in the joint examination held in the capital.

And if you want to collect the mysterious statues, you need to find the Yitou Xian group.

Regarding the news about Yi Dao Xian, Yang Liang also heard from Scythe Tiger that they would get together outside Pingzhou City on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year.

It seems that Pingzhou himself has to go.

After drinking tea for a while, Yang Liang regained his energy. He waved his hand and called the boss to come over and settle the bill.

"I'll give you ten coppers." The boss walked up to Yang Liang and said, wrapped in a hot towel.

"Not expensive."

Yang Liang stretched his hands into his arms, and the smile on his face stopped abruptly.

Oops.

He was too generous and left all his money to Old Man Li. Now he doesn't have a single copper in his pocket.

The boss looked at his words and noticed something was wrong, and his face darkened.

"You don't want to eat the King's meal, do you?"

"Haha."

Yang Liang smiled awkwardly and said, "Husband, I'm in a hurry when I go out and I don't have any money with me. How about I write something for you? What do you think?"

"I don't think so." The tea stall owner pushed Yang Liang back.

"Actually, I'm a student going to Pingzhou to take the exam. I'm just waiting to be on the list. If word spreads, I'm drinking tea here, wouldn't it also bring glory to your tea stall?"

"Hahaha."

The tea stall owner laughed loudly and said: "Look where I am. I am a post station. Not to mention you are a small student. Even the top officials of the second rank of Beijing have had tea here. What's the result? , I’m not still selling tea here, the sun is still coming out in the east.”

"This……"

Yang Liang was helpless for a moment. If he had been quicker, he could have stolen a few taels of silver before drinking tea, but now that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, he couldn't do anything.

"Do you have bowls here? How many days can I clean them for you?"

"Hahaha."

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the seat next to him, and a handsome young man said: "Why is the boss so aggressive? It's just ten taels of silver. I paid the money for him."

Yang Liang felt relieved and cupped his hands and said, "Li Qingyang from Baishui County, thank you so much, sir." "Lin Shu from Qinghe County." The other party cupped his hands and said, "I am also a student of this provincial examination. Why don't we walk together for the next journey?"

Yang Liang said: "Master Lin, I am penniless. If we go together, I am afraid that all the gold and silver consumption along the way will have to be troubled by Master Lin. Are you willing to do so?"

"What's the problem? Everything is taken care of by me."

Yang Liang waved his hand and said: "I will not be rewarded for my unworthy work, and I will not be rewarded with food. When I have ten cents in the future, I can repay the kindness you showed me today."

After saying that, Yang Liang bowed, picked up his luggage, and left the tea stall.

He didn't mind traveling with this young man, but he had many secrets, and it was not convenient for him to get along with people day and night.

Moreover, I am going to handle a few cases in the next journey to solve the problem of firewood and rice.

This makes it even more inconvenient to travel with others.

As he was walking, a bell suddenly sounded on the official road behind him. Yang Liang turned sideways and saw a carriage covered with green cloth coming from behind.

Lin Shu opened the curtain and said: "Since the young master is not immune to the temptation, then I will take the first step. This time Enke, there is still half a moon, you have to be a little faster?"

"Is there only half a month left?"

Yang Liang was startled when he saw the carriage clattering away, leaving only a trail of smoke and dust for him.

In fact, it is not impossible to travel together, and it is not impossible to consider eating and drinking for free.

It's a pity that the carriage has gone far away, and it's too late for me to regret it.

On the next road, I will handle one or two major cases, scrape together a few hundred taels of silver, and hire a carriage.

Yang Liang was walking alone, and his two feet were naturally no match for his four. He walked for a long time before he reached a market town.

In the past, when encountering such a place, Yang Liang could only walk around, but now he can enter the city openly, eat and stay in the hotel.

He made inquiries in the town and found out that there was a nunnery nearby, which was very popular and the nuns in the temple were quite wealthy.

Yang Liang made up his mind and went to the nunnery to borrow money at night. The monks were compassionate and would not mind helping a desperate man.

Probably because he is used to being a thief, Yang Liang now does this without any psychological burden.

He had stepped on the plate during the day, and the nunnery was ten miles outside the town. Now he was just waiting for the silence of the night before moving quietly.

At night, Yang Liang quietly came outside the nunnery. Seeing no one around, he tiptoed up the wall.

The nunnery was not as quiet as expected. Looking from the wall, there were bursts of joyful voices in the dark night.

There are also faint sounds of singing and dancing.

There is something strange about this nunnery.

Yang Liang quietly fell into the yard without making any sound.

Following the sound of singing and dancing, he quietly came to the backyard room and took a look inside through the window.

Suddenly, Yang Liang was startled. Inside the house, he saw several plump girls drinking and having fun with a few strong men.

This……

Sure enough, this nunnery is not very clean.

At this time, someone came out of it, and Yang Liang dodged and hid in the stable next to him.

He only waited for someone to come over with drinks before he popped his head up, but was startled again.

I saw a carriage tied in front of the stable, with a carriage cover made of green cloth.

Huh?
This carriage looked familiar, vaguely like Lin Shu's carriage during the day.
