"The Prime Minister has issued a recruitment order. As examiners, I have to be strict. Does the Military Advisor think that I did something wrong?"
Yang Xiu rubbed his aching arm and narrowed his eyes.
Clearly, there was someone else behind Yang Xiu.
Otherwise, even if Yang Xiu had the guts, he wouldn't dare to contradict him in front of so many people.
Although he was a newly appointed Military Advisor, he was personally appointed by the Prime Minister.
Bai Feng didn't care who was behind Yang Xiu.
This child could write such an essay at such a young age, but Yang Xiu treated him like this because he was from a humble family.
I'm definitely going to interfere in this matter!
Bai Feng sneered and continued.
"Everyone's eyes are sharp."
"Since the Prime Minister issued a recruitment order, he must be looking for useful talents. He doesn't want to bury talents so that they can serve the country well.
"But Mr. Yang, you're so nice to those from humble families that you can't wait to get rid of them, but you're so careless about those from landowning families.
"You're even willing to lay your hands on a child in order to suppress those from humble families.
"Mr. Yang, do you think that you're being strict with such discrimination?"
After saying this, Bai Feng's hand tightly gripped the sword at his waist.
Everyone saw Bai Feng's actions and didn't dare to breathe loudly.
What did Bai Feng mean by this?
If Yang Xiu didn't give a reason, he would be beheaded in front of everyone!
If it were anyone else, no one would believe it. Even the highest ranking official wouldn't dare to behead a landowning family member like Yang Xiu.
But Bai Feng wasn't one.
Wasn't Chen Deng powerful? Wasn't he, who had a much higher status than Yang Xiu, killed by Bai Feng in Jingzhou with a single strike?
Moreover, Bai Feng was acting as if nothing had happened. He had even become the Military Advisor because of his meritorious service.
Yang Xiu also knew this. His heart couldn't help but thump when he saw Bai Feng gripping the hilt of the Qingshi Sword.
Suddenly, the crowd fell silent.
After a while, someone shouted from below the stage.
"The Military Advisor is right! We're not blind. We're all very clear on how Official Yang treats us commoners! "
"That's right. I couldn't take it anymore. Since Mr. Bai has spoken, we have to say something."
"For the sake of personal gain, you actually want to harm the child. Lord Yang, you are being disloyal to the Prime Minister!"
"…"
There was a hubbub of voices below the stage. Everyone was quite dissatisfied with Yang Xiu on the stage.
This was especially true for the scholar who had been left speechless by Yang Xiu's crafty questions. He condemned Yang Xiu in speech and in writing, wishing he could drown Yang Xiu with his saliva.
In this period of time, commoners had no way out.
They were either farming or doing business.
Although a capable person could earn a lot of money by doing business, in ancient times, the status of a businessman was lower than that of an ordinary farmer.
And these people had been suppressed by the domineering landowning households for so long.
At present, Bai Feng was a commoner, but he held a high position. When he spoke, the poor children below immediately felt that their faces were extremely bright. Of course, they had to give Bai Feng enough face.
"Lord Bai, I'm afraid what you said is inappropriate."
Yang Xiu was speechless on the stage. He was thinking of a way to refute.
But someone below the stage spoke up.
"We are all working for the Prime Minister. Why are you so arbitrary and think that we are targeting the poor children?"
"The poor children themselves have little experience. They only know how to talk on paper. If they can't even answer a slightly difficult question, how can they achieve great things?" “
"We are doing this for the good of the poor children."
Bai Feng followed the voice. The person who spoke was Cao Zhi's trusted aide, Ding Yi.
Seeing that the crowd was about to explode, Ding Yi narrowed his eyes and whispered to the guards guarding the stage.
"How dare you! Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? How can you be so rash? "
"Today is the Prime Minister's recruitment. I will forgive you this once. If anyone dares to speak arrogantly, don't blame me for being rude."
Hearing this, the guards raised the broadswords in their hands.
These unarmed people didn't dare to speak under the knife. They quickly shrank their necks and didn't dare to speak.
Before Bai Feng could speak, suddenly, a bell-like female voice came from below the stage.
"Oh? Lord Ding Yi is so authoritative! "
"This is the Prime Minister's recruitment site. As commoners, can't we speak freely?"
After saying this, a young woman, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a red cloth and carrying a leather quiver on her back, with a high ponytail, stood up.
"How dare you! Take her down! "
Ding Yi didn't know that someone dared to talk back to him. He immediately shouted at the guards.
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately attacked the woman.
But the woman didn't panic. She even sneered, picked up the longbow in her hand, and blocked the guards.
The woman was so fast that Bai Feng couldn't even see her movements clearly.
After a while, the woman jumped out of the encirclement and smiled at Bai Feng.
"Brother, they want to kill me! Aren't you going to do something? "
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.
The surrounding guards immediately stopped what they were doing. They looked at Bai Feng on the stage and looked at each other.
She actually called the Military Advisor brother!
If it was true, wouldn't they be enemies with the Military Advisor if they attacked him?
These guards originally belonged to the Prime Minister. They only listened to Ding Yi's words because they were following orders.
"Hm?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman, puzzled.
I've never seen this woman before. Why did she call me brother?
If not for the quiver on her back, she would look like Lv Lingqi.
Could it be …
"Survey!"
Thinking of this, Bai Feng didn't hesitate to use [Survey].
"Ding! [Survey] activated successfully!"
"Name: Qin Liangyu
Martial Strength: 80
Agility: 100
Charm: 98
Loyalty to Host: 100
Trust in Host: 100
Host's current identity: Host's childhood sweetheart, sister of the uncle from the same clan.
”
Indeed!
This person who suddenly appeared, recognized me, and was so skilled. She must be a famous general that the system just sent to me.
Bai Feng was also surprised by Qin Liangyu's attributes.
Compared to Li Yuanba's Martial Strength of 100, Qin Liangyu's Martial Strength of 80 was indeed very low.
But her Charm was as high as 98, and her Agility was the same as his!
She was indeed a woman who didn't lose to men!
Thinking of this, Bai Feng suddenly smiled indifferently.
"Cousin, didn't I tell you that girls shouldn't fight and show their faces in public? You're making me look bad."
Qin Liangyu's beautiful eyes curved into a bright moon.
"Haha, I see that you're being bullied. How can you bear it?"
