Chapter 181 (1/2)
Chen Chang Sheng had obtained first upon the First Banner in the Grand Exa the Divine General’s estate to prepare a family dinner, yet he had also caused many dinners at many homes to disappear Even those that remained, were diminished in scope, because a lot of people had lost money
According to estiers related to the Grand Exa venues had opened over 300 of them, within these, the top 100 in ters for the exa’s appearance and also due to the unexpected situation of Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s withdrawal, a dark horse was born, and very few people won anything on this year’s wagers
Logically, with the bettors losing, the house should be winning, yet this year, the four reat suhts before the exa bets
The first sum of money was from those few fellows of Orthodox Acade’s attitude of the Grand Exa the last endeavour of his life, he placed everything he owned in a wager on himself
Xuan Yuan Po didn’t have much money, yet he had also passed on the 17 taels of silver he owned The real bulk of the suh they had only taken out thearound, due to the immense wealth of their respective families, the sum was already hefty, not to h
The second su came from the Education Board, the one who ca was that ancient yet ie, and rumour had it, apart froy froe sums in a display of their loyalty
The third suer, to the point where it could be called rather terrifying; that sum came from Wen Shui
Due to those three suered on the successful dark horse, the fourvenues suffered extremely heavy losses, especially on the third su the so (Heaven’s Scent) Venue, to feel extremely pressured
To be able to host such a scale of ga, the four venues obviously had treh thebusiness could be said to be trust, if it really was to threaten their very existence, it wouldn’t be surprising for a bit of fraud to happen, or at the very least, delays
Alas, this ti even the courage to appeal for someone to help them plead, this was because no round they had, they still wouldn’t dare to offend Orthodox Acadehness, Luo Luo They wouldn’t dare to offend the Education Board that was strong enough to stand against His Holiness, The Pope They especially wouldn’t dare to offend the third sum’s master
That sum of money had co clan
Wen Shui only had one Tang clan, the entire continent only had one Tang clan and in the world itself, only that Tang clan would have so e su just to please their own young master…
Anything taken to an extre, with a clan that has far tooclan froular sort of horror, but an inordinate sort of horror
Yet, the Elderly Master of the Tang clan could never have guessed, what had sie of his dear grandson in the Capital, that had also caused citizens of the Capital to roll their eyes, had actually resulted in a fairly large return, it could even be said that the winners of this year’s Grand Exa and Orthodox Acade clan
In just a few days’ tiiven to the Education Board for this occasion would presuy’s dinners at their homes would undoubtedly have a sizeable increase to the amount of dishes available
Within Orthodox Academy, the wealthy would become even wealthier and the only pauper, Xuan Yuan Po, would probably no longer have to worry about not having anyVenue, that was famous upon the continent, after its subsequent liquidation, will be sold to a southern merchant that trades in the jewellery business
All of these things were effects brought about by the Grand Examination
Of course, these effects were only on the outside, the real effects were hidden beneath the water’s surface, awaiting the tiht; perhaps at the time the Banners are formally released for the exaht
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t know of these things, didn’t know that his wealth had already increased several-fold and that it was enough to allow him to live in the Capital even h of course, he would first have to live on for another decade or more
Neither did Tang Thirty-Six know of these things, or perhaps it could be said, he did not care for these things, the aered, in the eyes of others, was already tree, but in truth, it was only a few , was not so; as for what those at Wen Shui had done, he was even less clear on the events
The horse carriage returned to the academy
Countless people from the populace had also accompanied thehly lively, with cries of “congratulations to Banner Lead Chen” and the like constantly being heard, there was also a lot of surprised chatter
The surprised chatter was not targeted at Chen Chang Sheng, but were targeted towards the current entrance of Orthodox Academy
Chen Chang Sheng and the others got off the carriage, seeing the front entrance, they were slightly startled, wondering to the on
Last year, on that , a purebred warhorse froe of death, constantly spurting blood foahtly mess, akin to some ruins
From that day onwards, the acade repaired, even theit all theon a bamboo chair with a pot of tea on a daily basis, no one would have been able to tell that there actually used to be a gate there
This was a contest between Orthodox Academy, which is favoured upon by His Eminence, The Archbishop, and the Orthodoxy’s new faction that was led by His Holiness, The Pope It was also a contest between the tradition faction that is loyal to the Imperial Chen clan, and the Tian Hai clan
This type of contest was very high levelled, yet, in the end, on the ground level, it was a quarrel that carried with it a childish air
It was probably due to the three youths fro and likely also because they didn’t think of the situation in too complex a fashi+on; they only knew that the entrance had been daed by someone from the Tian Hai clan and thus, they were the ones who should repair it
The Tian Hai clan would obviously not repair it, that would represent defeat and surrender With the acade, this caused the ruined entrance to stick out before the eyes of the Capital’s citizenry, until the ruined entrance finally beca contested here was a grudge, so obviously no one would be the first to stand down
Yet currently, surrounding the originally shattered entrance, there were over 10 craftse amount of wooden beams and jade material that looked evidently extraordinary, that had all been placed upon the eround by the side of the entrance Fros, it actually see to repair the entrance, no wonder then, as to why the populace were vigorously discussing things, heavily surprised
The old e of works to repair the entrance did not directly address Chen Chang Sheng’s group, but instead, followed the instructions he was given and loudly declared to the crowd that had gathered to watch as to what he and his group intended to do
The Tian Hai clan wanted to repair Orthodox Acadeate?
