The young men who received the money were all happily preparing to head home. However, as the thought of tomorrow’s a.s.sessment crossed their minds, they couldn’t help but discuss it among themselves.

“I wonder what test we’ll be facing tomorrow?”

Someone speculated, “It’s 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 that’s the case, I’m in trouble. I may know words and be able to write a bit, but I’m no good with poetry or articles.”

“Same here!”

“I’m in the same boat! If they expect us to excel in writing, poetry, and articles, we might as well audition for a talent show. What’s the point of becoming constables?”

Many expressed their skepticism, deeming it an impossible expectation.

“That can’t be true. We’re here to apprehend criminals, not to showcase our literary talents.”

Someone quickly agreed, saying, “Brother, you’re right. I don’t think it’s all about writing. There might be a written test segment, but it’s likely not focused on articles and poems.”

“I think we should prepare for physical challenges. Let’s see who’s stronger and more agile.”

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

They’ll surely spill the details.”

Someone applauded the suggestion, saying, “Great idea! I’m 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 it’s better not to ask. It’s a waste of money.”

“If you’re being frugal, fine. But refusing to part with two copper coins and giving all sorts of excuses—what’s your excuse for wasting money?”

The person responded eloquently, “If you inquire about tomorrow’s a.s.sessment, what’s 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 can’t, right?”

“That’s why we shouldn’t ask. Otherwise, we’ll end up cramming for this overnight project. We’ll be drained during the a.s.sessment tomorrow. It’ll 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 can’t disclose it!”

The leader promptly handed over a hundred copper coins. “There’s enough money here to buy a pot of wine. Please share with us the details of tomorrow’s a.s.sessment.”

“I promise we won’t tell anyone.”

Liu Dazhuang shook his head. “Honestly, even we don’t 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 tomorrow’s 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 wasn’t enough money for a pot of wine.

Others felt that too many people were going together.

Given the secrecy of the matter, it shouldn’t 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..
