Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The young men who received the money were all happily preparing to head home. However, as the thought of tomorrows a.s.sessment crossed their minds, they couldnt help but discuss it among themselves.

I wonder what test well be facing tomorrow?

Someone speculated, Its probably a written test! Governor Su is a distinguished scholar. He likely values good writing and poetry recitation. His essays are renowned for their smooth prose.

Several faces among the group turned somber.

If thats the case, Im in trouble. I may know words and be able to write a bit, but Im no good with poetry or articles.

Same here!

Im in the same boat! If they expect us to excel in writing, poetry, and articles, we might as well audition for a talent show. Whats the point of becoming constables?

Many expressed their skepticism, deeming it an impossible expectation.

That cant be true. Were here to apprehend criminals, not to showcase our literary talents.

Someone quickly agreed, saying, Brother, youre right. I dont think its all about writing. There might be a written test segment, but its likely not focused on articles and poems.

I think we should prepare for physical challenges. Lets see whos stronger and more agile.

Another person chimed in, Instead of speculating, why not ask Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face w.a.n.g? Lets pool some money and buy them a pot of wine.

Theyll surely spill the details.

Someone applauded the suggestion, saying, Great idea! Im willing to contribute two copper coins.

With fifty people each chipping in two copper coins, they could easily afford a pot of wine. The idea gained immediate support, with several individuals expressing their willingness to contribute to the cause.

However, there were individuals who were reluctant.

I think its better not to ask. Its a waste of money.

If youre being frugal, fine. But refusing to part with two copper coins and giving all sorts of excuseswhats your excuse for wasting money?

The person responded eloquently, If you inquire about tomorrows a.s.sessment, whats the point? In one night, you can practice your speech and improve your essay writing. Can you learn martial arts in that time? You guys have nothing to say, right? You know you definitely cant, right?

Thats why we shouldnt ask. Otherwise, well end up cramming for this overnight project. Well be drained during the a.s.sessment tomorrow. Itll backfire!

Many agreed that the person had a valid point.

Approximately a third of the group decided to head home first.

Seeing this, others followed suit.

However, some individuals remained adamant, feeling it was safer to seek answers.

About ten people discreetly pooled a hundred copper coins and sought out Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face w.a.n.g.

Yet, the response they received was firm, This is cla.s.sified information. We cant disclose it!

The leader promptly handed over a hundred copper coins. Theres enough money here to buy a pot of wine. Please share with us the details of tomorrows a.s.sessment.

I promise we wont tell anyone.

Liu Dazhuang shook his head. Honestly, even we dont know this secret. How can we tell you?

Embarra.s.sed, these individuals left without obtaining an answer. The more they contemplated, the more they became convinced of the impossibility.

How could Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face w.a.n.g not know?

They needed to get ready for tomorrows a.s.sessment, whether it was gathering pen and paper for the written test or preparing the venue for the martial arts compet.i.tion, correct?

As a result, some individuals believed they were wise, thinking that there wasnt enough money for a pot of wine.

Others felt that too many people were going together.

Given the secrecy of the matter, it shouldnt be discussed openly.

Consequently, someone awaited Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face w.a.n.g on their way home.

However, the response they got was consistent and unchanged..
