When the teachings returned home, at this time, the wife at home had already prepared a sobering soup to greet her, but was pushed aside by the teachings: "I haven't drunk today, don't use this soup, I have something, don't bother me." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

As he spoke, he rushed into the study angrily, leaving Mrs. Yu at a loss, not knowing what she had done wrong.

It is said that as soon as this parable entered the study, he found an excerpt, and wanted to write an article, reforming this Tang Zhen's fame, such a big scandal today, I am afraid that even the wind evaluation of Jiangping County will be downgraded, and the parable itself is upright, and it can't tolerate sand, so I started to write it at this moment.

The instructor did not go to the Wenhui today, I don't know about it, and someone came to inform the instructor about the incident on the ship today, and the instructor couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it: "This thing is broken, and we must go to find the teachings to talk to each other." ”

After saying that, he hurried away.

Pei Ziyun returned home, his mother had already warmed up the soup, this was a sobering soup, drinking the soup, he felt that his stomach was warm, put the bowl down, and said with a smile: "Mother, there are only ten days before the autumn test, and I have to go to the state city." ”

Dong'an Mansion • Zhangfu

The next day, a pot of tea in the room was burning on the tea stove, there was a hot spurt out, a chessboard was placed on the table, Zhang Yuyu walked into the room, couldn't suppress his anger, that is, kicked over the tea stove, the fire and tea poured on the ground, the carbon fire and the tea mixed together, making a sizzling sound, ash and smoke rising.

Zhang Yuyu sat on the chair, angry, stood up, swept the chessboard and all the pieces down, and said: "This kid must have seen through the scheme, so he came to tease me, and I want to kill him." ”

At this time, as Li Wenjing had been thinking about it behind Zhang Yuyu, he thought clearly, and then stepped forward, saw the chess pieces all over the ground, and hurriedly said: "Yuyu, this great Xu Xinli, he has a reputation for showing talent, we can only tempt and frame, we can't do it directly, if we do it directly, we will be evil, and if we are detected, maybe even the door will have a disaster." ”

Zhang Yuyu, listening to Li Wenjing's words, only then calmed down a little, enlightenment is a big matter, and he can't be cautious, but he really can't swallow this mouthful: "Then with the hands of mortals, our Holy Gate, in addition to the Black Wind Thieves under my hands, there should be other lines, right?"

"Naturally, there are our people in the gate of my holy prison, on this Lu River. ”

"But he is a talent who entered the state to catch the exam, and it is okay to attack with mortals, but if he kills it, he can't get rid of the eyes of the local river god land, and once there is a court Shinto tracking, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble. ”

Li Wenjing saw that Zhang Yuyu's anger was about to explode, and said: "But if you fall into the water halfway, get sick, or eat a bad stomach on the way, and be beaten up, this is a trivial matter." ”

"Whether it is a scholar in Beijing or a province, even in the examination room, it is common for people to get sick. ”

"Let him be smart, as long as he doesn't hit this time, he will have to waste three years, Xiucai is just a small fame, if you really want to kill it ruthlessly, our Holy Gate can also kill it, but you have to pay a price, after this sensitive time to catch up with the exam, Yuyu is still angry, then kill him." ”

Zhang Yuyu's anger subsided for a moment: "Okay, just do it, and I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Li Wenjing nodded and said, "I'll go and order the Luo Gang!"

Houdu Town, Li Mansion

Li Mansion is not in the city of Dong'an Mansion, but along the official road for twenty miles, in a wharf Houdu Town, the town is bustling, but at this time, I saw a group of people coming, and pedestrians avoided one after another.

"Who are these people?"

"It's Yang Kun of the Luo Gang, who has a great reputation. ”

"Phew, what is the reputation? "Someone else disdains it.

Approaching the door, Yang Kun pointed: "This is the Li Mansion, a few of you stay in the town, find a place to live by yourself, and I will go to see Master Li." ”

After speaking, Yang Kun went in, this person was a man in his thirties, but he was cautious when he entered the mansion, and when he saw Li Wenjing writing a letter at the desk, he shouted far away: "Meet Master Li." ”

It turned out that during the previous dynasty, Yang Tongshou formed a gang, and at the beginning, most of them were homeless beggars who joined, stole and robbed, but they were known by the county order, and they couldn't help but be furious and ordered to be captured.

The patrol heard the fate and moved, killed several people, captured Yang Tongshou, and was about to be beheaded, at the moment of crisis, the holy prison gate reached out to help, only forty sticks, Yang Tongshou was released from prison, hiding in this town to recuperate, changed the practice, and went to help when the official gentry and wealthy people were happy, or to transport goods for the merchants, and gradually whitewashed.

It gradually became a bit of a climate, and the government simply handed over some salt, grain, cotton and linen to the Luo Gang for water transportation, and the Luo Gang collected protection fees and earned transportation fees, and the momentum became louder.

Now Yang Kun is already the second-generation gang leader, but he is quite respectful to the Holy Prison Gate.

"It's good that you're here, I have something for you to do!" Li Wenjing shouted in, got up and paced underground, looked out the window at the blooming flowers, and said in a deep voice.

"Master Li, as long as this matter on the Lu River, even if you tell me, you will sell me face within a hundred miles, even if you sink a few people, it is a trivial matter. Yang Kun said.

Li Wenjing sneered slightly: "This is not enough, but the matter is not small, you send your cronies to handle it, and you will go to Jiangping County to supervise the dock." ”

"All the talents who went to the province to catch the exam were stared at me. ”

"This person's name is Pei Ziyun, and the portrait is here. ”

"Master Li, is the river sinking?" Yang Kun was eager to try.

"No, it's time to rush for the exam, and when you're sensitive, you can't kill someone, just make this person fall into the water and suffer a cold. Li Wenjing commanded in a low voice: "The water may not be too cold now, but it doesn't matter, after falling into the water, you can sprinkle this medicine on him." ”

"I'm going to have chills. ”

"It's just this, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you. Yang Kun patted his chest again and again and said.

Jiangping County, Teaching Yu Family

Jiaoyu met this time, but he still kept a straight face, Pei Ziyun didn't know that the instructor and Jiaoyu had an argument about Tang Zhen's matter just now, so he had to hang his head and be careful.

The instructor said: "You are still young, you need to polish it well, you are only fifteen years old and you will be able to show your talents, it is inevitable that you will be ambitious, how can you go to the province like this!"

Pei Ziyun glanced at the instructor and thought to himself that he had offended this person?

Jiao Yu said lightly: "If you are ambitious, you are not old, when you are heavy on the article today, the time for this article has arrived, old friend, don't raise the bar." ”

The instructor snorted and turned away, going to another room.

The teachings immediately said: "This time I called you, there is no other advice, only two. ”

"First, you have removed the yin qi in the article now, which is a good thing, but don't be too yang and domineering, which is also taboo in the examination room. ”

"The second is to let you know. This time, the provincial test president of the province has been decided. ”

The president of the provincial examination, in fact, is the examiner of the examination, which is generally appointed by the imperial court, sent from the central government, to the provincial capital to preside over the examination.

In order to prevent fraud, it is not announced before the examination, but in fact, as soon as the appointment is made, the local government will know about it, and the people who have it will also know, and ordinary candidates can only inquire about it themselves.

There is absolute fairness in the imperial examination, and knowing who the examiner is, you can figure out his essays and prepare for the exam, and from this point of view, the teachings are not pedantic people.

After all, everyone can figure it out, but if you don't figure it out, it's unfair to reflect on yourself.

Pei Ziyun asked, "I don't know which adult?"

The teaching metaphor lowered his voice: "It's Huluzhou." ”

"Lord Hu Yingzhen?"

This person is fifteen years old, eighteen-year-old, twenty-two-year-old, and famous, and now he is only thirty-five years old, so he will preside over the provincial examination?

"Yes, the news has already arrived, have you read the adult's article?" asked the teaching.

Pei Ziyun replied: "The disciple has seen some of them, but I am afraid that they are not complete. ”

The teachings began: "This is a collection of Huluzhou anthologies, you can figure out one or two on the road, although the article focuses on the pattern and the law, but the imperial examination is important, and some changes are normal." ”

"I won't keep you much, there is a lot of time, you go quickly, don't delay on the road." ”

"Yes!" Pei Ziyun saluted respectfully and withdrew.

After a while, the instructor came over and said, "You are attentive to him, why can't you be more tolerant of Tang Zhen?"

"Ten years of cold windows, once you are stripped of your fame, you can't take the exam again, do you think about it again?"

"Old friend, you don't need to say it, these are two different things. The teaching metaphor waved his hand and said: "And although this person is young, he has the jade of Jingshan and the pearl of the spiritual snake in his mouth, and he is a talent who has descended from the world, how can this ridiculous person Tang really compare one or two?"

…………

Pei Ziyun rushed to the dock area, saying that this world is a little similar to the Song Dynasty - prosperous commerce.

Although the scholar is still noble, but also often with the businessman, although it is the beginning of the founding of the country, but the water transport has been opened, a boatload of fruits, bamboo fans, pu mats, pillows, grain, medicine, ceramics are endless, Pei Ziyun came to the wharf, at this time in July and August, I can't help sweating out.

Looking under a shed, I saw that the river was wide, and in the distance there were thousands of sails racing in the river, and there were seven or eight large boats parked at the wharf.

However, there was only one passenger boat waiting for the guests, so he walked forward, and then the boss greeted him, and when he saw that there were guests, he greeted him with a smile: "The guest officer is the minister who went to the province to take the exam?"

"How do you know?"

"Just look at your dress, and there are already a few ministers who have booked a boat today, my boat is deep, and I also prepare watermelons, a whole two sacks, and you can eat melons on the way. ”

"The boat fare is not much, there is a bed, the food on the road is fresh, and it only costs one or two silver to go to the room. ”

This price is actually not cheap, but Pei Ziyun has no interest in saving a few hundred yuan and getting on a boat, he got 4,000 taels, gave his mother 3,000 taels, and actually has 1,000 taels of silver tickets, even if he uses some, he only uses a few dozen taels, and immediately said: "Then book a room...... Leaving now?"

"Xianggong, it's just that the guests on the ship are not full yet, and we have to wait for a while. ”

"Today at noon, we will depart. ”

Of course, Pei Ziyun was willing to charter a boat and start it immediately, but Pei Ziyun didn't waste it like this, so he said: "Okay, I'll go to the hotel to have a cold meal first, and you will call me when you drive the boat." ”

It was a hotel fifty meters away, and the boss of the ship answered.
