The master looked at the money sword and thought, "This sword has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. Can it be like the statue of the God of the Earth? Can it be carried with you at all times to protect you from being harmed by the evil spirits?"

Jiang Hao thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It should be more effective than the Earth God Statue, especially since the evil ghost has been injured by my magic sword and will definitely stay away next time."

The master was overjoyed after hearing this, and with a few thoughts in his head, he said goodbye to Jiang Hao and went out. Seeing the master hurried to the back house, Jiang Hao knew that he must have gone to report a message to the county magistrate. He turned around to look at Qian Jian, Jiang Hao's face.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

The money sword has not yet appeared in this world. It should have really appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Previously, Taoist magic swords were mainly peach wood swords, which were made of centuries-old peach wood. Even better, they were hundred-year-old lightning strike peach wood.

But century-old peach wood is so easy to find. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it was almost hard to find. Magical weapons were becoming more and more rare. There was no other way. Finally, someone invented the money sword, which borrowed the aura energy condensed on the coins. The function of the money sword of the Five Emperors was compared to

The real magic weapon is much worse.

The Five Emperors Money Sword is divided into the Big Five Emperors and the Small Five Emperors.

In the real world, the Little Five Emperors refer to the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The Great Five Emperors refer to the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties. Strictly speaking, they are Qin Shi Huang, Han Wu Emperor, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and Ming Chengzu.

During the emperor's period, the copper coins issued and used were Qin Banliang, Han Five Baht, Kaiyuan Tongbao, Song Yuan Tongbao, and Yongle Tongbao.

The Five Emperors' Money Sword was created by Jiang Hao just to deceive the magistrate Wang.

Not long after, the county magistrate came out and changed into fresh clothes. When he sat down, he glanced hard at the money sword Jiang Hao put on the table, and his eyes flashed.

The evil ghost said that he already had a way to destroy the statue of Lord Tutu. Now I am afraid that only this money sword can save his life.

"Today you saved my life and relieved my worries, I will be greatly thanked. However, if the evil spirit is not eliminated, I will not be able to sleep or eat well," the county magistrate said.

"When the evil ghost comes again, just notify me to come get it." Jiang Hao said.

The county magistrate said in his heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to insist on your coming by then. He pondered for a while and said: "I heard from the master that the evil ghost is afraid of the money sword in your hand. If you can make the evil ghost retreat, it would be better if he stayed here with me."

If I come again, I might as well have time to call you over."

Jiang Hao looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, this money sword is a heavy treasure. It was given by our ancestors. It is extremely rare and precious."

"How about this salary of 500 taels?" the county magistrate said.

Jiang Hao smiled calmly, "Sir, in the eyes of the mage, it is too much to say that my magic sword is worth ten thousand taels, but five thousand taels is still worth it."

When the county magistrate heard about five thousand taels, his heart suddenly ached. He couldn't bear to spend five thousand taels to buy this thing. If it was a normal day, he would definitely snatch it away, but facing such a strange person who can catch monsters and eliminate ghosts, he didn't.

Don't dare.

As his eyes rolled, an idea came to his mind, "You said before that you would take the county exam this year."

"Yes, sir," Jiang Hao nodded, "my parents died one after another, and I have been observing mourning for several years. After this year, I started to take the county examination."

"I promise you the top ten, no, the top three." The county magistrate lowered his voice.

Jiang Haoxin said that it was straightforward enough, and the fame was granted casually.

Jiang Hao shook his head and said softly: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, if Jiang has learned a lot, he will definitely be a high school criminal. If he wants to get fame, I will get it myself."

The corner of the county magistrate's mouth twitched, and he could naturally tell that the scholar wanted to be the head of the case with him, and the others were not interested in him.

It's really greedy.

His case has been sold to someone else a long time ago. It's three thousand taels. Do you want to return it?

On one side is silver,

On one side is life.

Hey ~ it’s all life.

The county magistrate finally gritted his teeth, looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you that the head of the case and the money sword will stay in the county government office. If that evil ghost comes again, you have to come forward and kill him."

After the dirty deal was successfully concluded, Jiang Hao stood up and bowed to the county magistrate, "It's already late, so Jiang took his leave. Please hang this Five Emperors Money Sword in your bedroom, so that you can protect yourself from worries."

If you go out on weekdays, you can take it with you."

The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction.

"I have one more thing to ask, sir?" Jiang Hao said.

"What's up?"

"I asked everyone in the county government to keep my ghost hunting tonight a secret. I don't want to cause trouble in the city. A good scholar will be rumored to be a Taoist priest who catches ghosts." Jiang Hao said.

"Well, it's better to be a scholar, I will give the order." The county magistrate responded.

Jiang Hao left the county government. The county magistrate called the master and asked him to go down and tell no one about Jiang Hao's ghost hunting. Other government officials quickly informed the street. Although they would not tell the story, everyone here today remembered it.

He looked like Jiang Hao.

In the next few days, there was no further news about the ghosts in the county government office. Then there were rumors that an expert came to collect the evil spirits, and the matter gradually subsided.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day of the county examination. Jiang Hao got up when it was still dark, and brought a suitcase with pens, inks, inkstones and other examination supplies, as well as some food. After all, he had to take the exam for a day, and he needed to have lunch in it.

solve.

He drove the carriage out. Cui Sheng, Han Yi, Zhao Licheng, and Li He were already waiting on the roadside, preparing to go to the county town together. Because it was dark, Cui Sheng and Zhao Licheng were still carrying lanterns. When they saw a carriage approaching, the four of them flashed to

Next to me, I thought it was some rich young man who was going to take the exam, but the carriage stopped when it got close.

"Brother Cui, Brother Zhao, you guys have been here for a long time. Come on, it will save you some legwork." Jiang Hao said.

The four of them were stunned, looking at this carriage which was not gorgeous but still not cheap. Unexpectedly, the person in the carriage turned out to be Jiang Hao, "Brother Jiang, where did you get the carriage?"

They are all poor scholars, and they all know their net worth. This is like junior high school classmates in a town going to take the high school entrance examination together. An ordinary student they are familiar with suddenly drives over in a Mercedes-Benz and asks them to get in the car and take the exam together.

"We'll talk about it after we get in the car," Jiang Hao said.

Of course it would be best to take a car, which is fast and saves effort. The four of them quickly got in the car and rushed to the county seat. Han Yi asked again out of curiosity. Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Don't I owe Mr. Hu some money? That day

Suddenly I found an ancient book at home and thought I could sell it for some money. Then I thought about it. I heard that Hu Yuanwai likes antique books. It might be better to sell it to him directly. Maybe he can get a good price, so I went to his door. I didn't think so.

That ancient book is an unique copy of extremely high value. Not only did I pay off the debt, but before leaving, Mr. Hu also gave me this car as a gift."

The four of them were stunned. Li He asked in surprise: "You owe 60 taels, and this carriage is probably no less than 100 taels. What ancient book is so valuable?"

"I only remember the name. It's called "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Joy and Great Joy". It contains some cultivation methods for men and women. I'm not very clear about it. I just looked through it a few times and thought the book was old, so I took it and gave it a try.

idea." Jiang Hao said casually.

"You must be so lucky."

Several people were filled with envy when they heard this. It was really unlucky to be able to sell so much money just by picking up a book from home.

When he arrived at the county school examination room, many scholars rushing to take the exam had gathered outside. Jiang Hao drove the carriage into an inn and told the shopkeeper that the county exam would be taken for five consecutive days. He was not going to go home during these five days.

Running around every day.

When the time is up, people are allowed into the examination room. However, they need to verify their identity when entering the examination room. They will also be searched afterward, and their food boxes and examination tools will not be spared. Anyone found guilty of cheating will be punished.

The yamen officers who searched were very rough. The pens and inkstones were thrown away with a loud clang, and all the food boxes and food were poured out. They were shoveled on the table and put back in again. Jiang Haoxin asked if this could still be eaten, but the scholars dared to

I dare not speak when I am angry.

During the body search, the examinees were brought into the room, where they were asked to strip naked and inspected inside and out. This was not yet the provincial examination. At that time, they had to live in the examination hall for several days, and all the quilts they brought in were removed and inspected.

When it was Jiang Hao's turn, Jiang Hao put the food box on the table. He had taken the imperial examination before and knew that this was the rule. Even if he went to the provincial examination to take the palace examination and had already achieved fame, he still had to pass this test. He thought to himself

, the food has been ruined by them, I can just stop eating it at worst. Anyway, there is a lot of food in the space.

The two government officials responsible for the inspection looked up and saw Jiang Hao suddenly stunned. The two looked at each other, took the examination form and looked at it. Qingxi Zhen Jiang Hao confirmed that he was right.

The two yamen servants were careful when flipping the food boxes and handled them with care. As for the meals Jiang Hao brought, they just opened the food boxes and took a look at them before putting them back. After a quick inspection, they took Jiang Hao into the room for a physical examination.

"Mr. Jiang, please take a turn." A yamen servant said with a smile.

"Oh, you know me." Jiang Hao was surprised.

"Haha, we two brothers were on duty at the county government office that night. We saw you fighting the devil clearly, and we were warned not to tell anyone about it afterwards," said a government official.

Jiang Haoxin said, no wonder these two guys were so respectful.

"Should I take off my clothes?" Jiang Hao reached out to unbutton his clothes.

A yamen servant quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it has been checked, there is no entrapment," he said, passing the food box with both hands, "Mr. Jiang, A thirty-two to A sixty are all good numbers. It is facing the sun and there is no wind, and stay away from the toilet."

, you can pick one there.”

Jiang Hao took the food box, nodded his thanks, walked into the examination room, chose a good room in the A-number area, and sat in. The county examination is not as strict as the provincial examination. You can choose the examination room by yourself, so

Whoever comes first will have the advantage.

After a lot of trouble, the county examination finally started, and a total of eleven chapters of papers were issued. There was quite a lot of content. Jiang Hao looked at the questions, which included nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, Poetry, Fu, Policy, Theory, and Holy Edicts.

These things are every bit difficult for him. After scanning the questions, the answers are immediately generated in his mind, written in small block letters with very beautiful fonts.

Others needed to answer questions for a day, but Jiang Hao finished it in just over an hour. He had nothing to do, so he sat there with his eyes closed and practiced.

When he opened his eyes, it was already late afternoon, and the cloud board rang. When it was time to hand in the paper, Jiang Hao easily handed it over and left.

He didn't go back at night, so he stayed at the inn. He stayed in the inn for five consecutive days. After finishing the exams in each subject, he finally relaxed. Jiang Hao drove the carriage home. The next step was how the county magistrate would judge the papers. He didn't know if he could get the county exam.

Head of case.

Jiang Hao estimated that even if Magistrate Wang did not give him a case, he would definitely have no problem passing the county examination.
Chapter completed!
