Chapter 51: Sixteen years old, ninth grade! Fan Wujiu's past!
Fan Wujiu was extremely fast, but he was still surrounded by more than 20 people, including an eighth-grade master.

There were flashes of swords and shadows, and the sound of true energy breaking through the air was heard frequently. Two of the besiegers died in an instant.

In the original drama, Fan Wujiu was a master recruited by the second prince. He loved reading books of sages. Now it seems that there is a story behind him.

Fan Wujiu is a man of both civil and military talents, and he values ​​loyalty very much, which is what Li Changan values ​​most.

People who value loyalty are more likely to be loyal. It is easier to make Fan Wujiu work for one's own benefit than to win over Wang Qinian, who is full of scheming.

"Old Zhao, it turns out that the fatal scholar Fan Wujiu is the failed scholar Fan Jin three years ago."

Wherever Li Changan arrived, the local Luowang would report all the major events of recent years to facilitate Li Changan's search for talents.

Li Changan came to the vicinity of Suzhou, on the one hand to audition talents, and on the other hand to come for Xia Qifei, the seventh young master of the Ming family.

Now Xia Qifei is still called Ming Qingcheng. He is hiding from Ming family's eldest son Ming Qingda and is about to join the underworld.

Discovering Fan Wujiu was a complete surprise.

Zhao Gao replied, "It should be true. This man gathered the examinees to cause trouble and was thrown into prison, ruining his future."

A few years ago, there was a mess in the Suzhou Autumn Examination. After the results were announced, the top two candidates were both sons of wealthy salt merchants.

The two men are usually idle, uneducated and unskilled, and are well-known playboys.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was serious fraud in this provincial examination, and that the salt merchants had bought the exam questions.

A large number of failed candidates gathered together and made a big fuss in Suzhou City. They changed the plaque of the Imperial Examination Hall to "Sold Out" and moved the clay statue of the God of Wealth to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, satirizing the examiners for cheating by selling the exam questions.

The Suzhou prefect acted quickly. Instead of immediately investigating the fraud, he sent several students who led the riot to jail, including Fan Jin.

Because Fan Jin had a talent for martial arts and had already reached the seventh level of cultivation, he managed to escape.

However, with a criminal record, you can forget about taking the imperial examination again in this life.

"Old Zhao, have you found out the identity of the Suzhou prefect?"

Zhao Gao said in an orderly manner, "The governor of Suzhou is named Guo Zheng, a distant relative of the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi. Because he has connections in the capital, he quickly suppressed the matter."

"Last year, Guo Zheng ended his exile and went to the Jingdu Procuratorate to serve as a fourth-rank assistant censor. With his connections, he should have a chance to be promoted to deputy censor."

Li Changan was basically certain that this Guo Zheng was the Minister of Rites who succeeded Guo Youzhi in the original drama.

If one successfully passes the autumn provincial examination, one can go to Kyoto to take part in the spring metropolitan examination, so Fan Wujiu is obsessed with the spring examination.

Logically speaking, Fan Wujiu should not die now, because he will be recruited by the second prince later and become one of the Eight Generals.

However, Fan Wujiu's condition is not optimistic now, as he has suffered several injuries.

Zhao Gao lowered his head and said, "Master, do you want me to rescue this man?"

Li Changan said, "I'll go by myself. I'll fight with others more often and learn martial arts with less effort, so I can improve faster."

Li Changan, now sixteen years old, has just broken through to the ninth rank, and he has done many things on his own along the way.

排名：权势12、财富18、武力18、风流1万+、文艺4
Li Changan's Bei Ming Qi has now reached perfection. He can absorb the Qi of others and refine it for his own use.

There has been considerable progress in the three offensive martial arts, and each ability can only be said to be developing steadily. After all, the main focus of the past two years has been on cultivation.

Due to the growth of Luowang, Li Changan's secret power skyrocketed. Coupled with the law enforcement power granted by Emperor Qing's "Zhenwu Order", his power ranking rose to 12th.

They are also among the top 20 in terms of wealth, making them one of the richest people in the world.

Because Shen Wansan's money belongs to Li Changan, and now his net worth has exceeded 20 million taels.

Although the inner warehouse has monopolized the production of many high-profit products, Shen Wansan's service industry is still promising. It can be said that all aspects have made great progress. Li Changan estimated that the time for the system to settle again is approaching.

The people who were besieging Fan Wujiu already felt that they had won. They thought that Li Changan and his group were just ordinary businessmen.

"Fan Jin, you can't take the imperial examination in your lifetime, but you're still trying to instigate other candidates to complain to Prince Yong!"

"You are really tired of living. Let's see where you can escape today!"

"I, Jiangnan Water Village, will personally take action to ensure that you die without a burial place!"

Li Changan's substitute is in Suzhou City. It seems that Fan Jin wants to instigate the failed candidates to find Yongwang's substitute to file a complaint.

The stand-in encountered many complaints along the way, but he never accepted them because he had no authority to hear cases.

However, Li Changan would let the local police investigate these cases, and maybe they would be able to catch any senior official in the court.

In other words, because Li Changan traveled to Suzhou, Fan Wujiu instigated the candidates to file a complaint, and the salt merchant paid a large sum of money to hire someone to kill him.

Therefore, Fan Wujiu, who could have survived and surrendered to the Second Prince, most likely would not have survived.

Fan Wujiu was an expert at swordsmanship, and every blow of his sword struck at the opponent’s vital points. In the blink of an eye, he chopped off the heads of three seventh-rank masters.

But there were too many people on the other side, and every move was deadly. Fan Wujiu was no match for four people with his two fists, and his body was covered in blood.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and killed another seventh-rank master, and his defeat was obvious.

"Damn it...it seems like I really won't be able to take part in the Spring Examination in this lifetime."

"No! No! No!"

Several black hidden weapons flew through the air, only ten feet away from Fan Wujiu's back!
Fan Wujiu heard the sound of the wind, but it was too late to turn around and resist!
"laugh!"

Suddenly, a powerful invisible sword energy rushed out from the side and knocked all the hidden weapons away!
The sword energy was extremely powerful, and the true energy gushed out, piercing through the bodies of the two seventh-grade warriors!

The two seventh-rank warriors looked down at the huge bloody holes on their chests and couldn’t believe that such martial arts existed in the world!

Without using any weapons, just using the true energy to condense into a sword, it can hurt people from more than ten feet away, and the power is so huge!
“Ninth… Ninth Grade!”

"He is actually a ninth-grade master!"

"How is it possible that the true energy is released?"

"How could there be such a young ninth-rank master in Suzhou!"

The killers were horrified to find that there was a man standing not far away. He was the young businessman who had just appeared in the salt field.

This is the minor success of the Six Meridians Divine Sword. If it is perfected, it might be able to directly shatter half of the body.

Li Changan stood on tiptoe and charged into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"You annoying boy, you're looking for death!"

"Come together and kill him!"

Although the ninth rank is strong, the ninth rank in this world can be beaten to death.

In the killer's opinion, Li Changan is so young, and since he has practiced long-range sword energy, he must be very weak in close combat.

But Li Changan's method was strange. The killers felt palm shadows flying before their eyes, and the weapons of several people were knocked out of their hands in an instant!

Then Li Changan killed the killers one by one with his palm, breaking the sternum with his heavy palm and shattering the heart!

The one that removes weapons is the Tianshan Zhemei Hand, while the one that causes serious injuries and kills is the Tianshan Liuyang Palm.

The strongest eighth-grade master's eyes blurred and he only saw the afterimage of Li Changan moving towards him!
Lingbo Weibu is based on the hexagrams of the Book of Changes. When perfected, "there are no fixed rules for movement, and it is difficult to predict advance and retreat", making it impossible for the enemy to predict the pattern of movement and intention of advance and retreat.

Just like this eighth-rank master, he could only see a shadow in front of him that was as fast as a clone and couldn't even touch Li Changan's clothes.

Then, the long sword in his hand flew away to who knows where, and a palm full of surging inner energy was already pressed against his chest!
He was hit by a palm, but it didn't hurt at all!

However, the true energy in the body is rushing out like crazy!
