Lu Zheng won the first place in the county trial, and Xiucai's fame has been confirmed, Lu Zheng has this identity, and many of his constraints can be easily solved.

For example, Lu Zheng has always wanted to break away from the Zhang family, and it was almost impossible for him before, because as long as he left the Zhang family to live outside, he would immediately cause all kinds of gossip, so the Zhang family would not allow it, and if the Zhang family did not nod, he could not do anything.

The Dakang Dynasty talked about filial piety, the king wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die, the father let the son die, the son had to die, although Lu Zheng was far away from the Lu family in Jiangning, but he was entrusted to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family became a cage that Lu Zheng could not break free from.

And now that Lu Zheng has the identity of Xiucai, it is different, he can study abroad, and the next step is to participate in the Autumn Entrance Examination, and he can leave Yangzhou freely.

After he left Yangzhou, wasn't the sky high for the birds to fly, and the sea wide for the fish to jump? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the talent in the examination means a great degree of freedom for Lu Zheng.

As long as he wants, he can get rid of the current days when he may be calculated and plotted by others at any time, and with his current net worth, he can support his own survival.

Lu Zheng has always been a drinker, it's not that he doesn't drink, and his mind is in a high degree of tension all the time, alcohol will make him relax his vigilance and lose his judgment on many things.

And today, he was in an extremely happy mood, and he was accompanied by two or three bad friends, and before he knew it, Lu Zheng was slightly drunk.

Lu Zheng came out to see the list in the morning, and when he returned to the west corner courtyard of Zhangjia after drinking a meal, it was already the beginning of Shen Shichu, and in the courtyard, Si Qi and other little girls, as well as Qi Biao, already knew the news, and they were all very happy.

However, given the whole atmosphere of the Zhang family, his joy was not convenient to be completely released unscrupulously, so the atmosphere in the courtyard was very strange.

Also, the big housekeeper Cui Da has been waiting for Lu Zheng in the courtyard for a long time, Lu Zheng entered the courtyard, Cui Da hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations to Gongzi, congratulations to Gongzi, Gongzi High School, my first show in Xinhe County is in our Zhang family, and the lintel of the Zhang family is glorious!"

He paused slightly, and continued: "Childe, the person who reported the good news today went directly to the old lady's courtyard, and the old lady gave double the reward, and the evening was the 'cherry blossom banquet', the banquet hosted by Nie Xianzun, you must behave well when you turn around, don't fall into the name of the head of the case!" ”

Cui Da's tone was extremely gentle, and Lu Zheng knew very well that the person who actually held the most power in the Zhang family was the rickety old guy in front of him.

However, this old guy's temper has always been very good, he is always respectful and polite to Lu Zheng, and he never forgets to show his inferior status everywhere.

People respect me a foot, I respect people, Lu Zheng naturally respects Cui Da very much, seeing the old guy's appearance, he said lightly: "Big housekeeper, I'm afraid you didn't come here for this little thing, right?" ”

Cui Da laughed and said, "Brother Zheng, it's hard to say!" The second master is now in charge, and his temperament is the most stubborn, so he is competing with Lord Wu Fu again, and he has to expose Lord Wu's dereliction of duty in the examination room.

Brother Zheng, tell me, what is this? The second master has just taken office, and his foundation is not stable, so he makes enemies on all sides......"

Lu Zheng laughed and said: "The big housekeeper, the second uncle is a measured person, he naturally has his own reasons for doing this, you just take care of the house, above the officialdom, things are complicated, although you always have the heart to take care of it, but where can you manage it?" ”

Cui Da was slightly stunned, he looked at Lu Zheng carefully, and suddenly a chill suddenly appeared in his heart, listening to Lu Zheng's tone, he seemed to know everything well, he was young, but he saw things in the officialdom thoroughly, Zhang Chengxi lived for forty years, and his wisdom and insight were not as good as those of a teenager in his teens, which was really embarrassing.

Cui Da is very helpless now, he is in charge of the business of the Zhang family, the Zhang family is known as the richest man in Yangzhou, but no matter how much wealth he has, he can't withstand Zhang Chengxi's squandering and abuse.

Zhang Chengxi, an official, was obtained by throwing money, and after becoming an official, it became even more fierce to throw money. Although Zhang's mother is powerful, she is a woman after all, and her mind is full of only the glory of the Zhang family's poetry and hairpins, where is this the way to run a family?

Zhang Chengdong handed over the Zhang family to Cui Da before leaving, Cui Da couldn't wait for Zhang Chengdong to come back, and the Zhang family's business was ruined!

Cui Da himself couldn't persuade Zhang Chengxi, he could only hit Lu Zheng with his idea, and Lu Zheng seemed to have a deep understanding of his thoughts!

Cui Da is over seventy years old this year, and he doesn't know how many things he has experienced in his life, but in his eyes, Lu Zheng still feels that he can't see through, he has served Zhang Chengdong all his life, since Zhang Chengdong said that Lu Zheng is not a thing in the pool, let the people in the family stop being unfavorable to him, he strictly complied.

Liang Shi wanted to go against it, but what was the result? How tragic is Liang Shi's ending now? Don't talk about Liang Shi, the entire Liang family is now defeated, Lu Zheng's ability to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain Cui Da didn't see it with his own eyes, but just seeing such a result was enough for him to be frightened.

"Master Lu, the cherry blossom banquet has been prepared, and the banquet will be held in the evening, at this time, the old slave invites you to go over and take a look, take a look, and check by the way, don't shirk!" Cui Dadao.

He sighed slightly and said: "Actually, Lu Gongzi, this is also a good thing for you, you have won the show, the road in front of you is wider, there is a way to be a family and everything is prosperous, the things at home can be handled properly first, there are no worries, other things can be done with confidence and boldly, the old slave has not read many books, but this truth should be so." ”

Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "Well, what the big butler said makes sense, so let me take a look?" ”

Guanjing Mountain is not far from the West Corner Courtyard, Lu Zheng is very familiar with this place, Cui Da accompanied him to the cherry blossom garden, sure enough, the banquet was all arranged, looking at the red lanterns in the garden, Lu Zheng felt a little shocked even if he had seen the world.

The seat at the head of the case has been prepared, next to Lord Nie, and that position belongs to Lu Zheng today, passing through the area where the banquet is arranged and continuing to walk along the cherry blossom garden, Cui Da has already lost it.

In the courtyard, Zhang Chengxi sat beside a cherry blossom tree with bitter hatred, his face was ugly, his eyes looking at Lu Zheng were extremely complicated, his lips moved, and he seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't spit out a word after all.

He has so many guest masters, plus Cui Da, today he feels that he can't use any of them, his mind is in a state of chaos, he really doesn't know what is going on, why can Lu Zheng get the case? What the hell did Wu Fu do in the middle? Why didn't he find out?

What will Nie Xianzun think about this matter, and once he makes a fuss about it, how will Nie Xianzun deal with this matter? Also, Master Su is in Yangzhou, will Master Su deal with it impartially?

He had a lot of imagination in his mind, but he didn't dare to act, because he really didn't have any handle in his hand, and he couldn't think of any clues in his head, he couldn't say that he had replaced Lu Zheng's file, and Lu Zheng also got the head of the case, is there something greasy in this, right?

So, he is now in a deep depression and cannot extricate himself.

Lu Zheng saw him, bowed slightly, and said, "Second uncle, today's cherry blossom banquet is beautifully arranged, and the second uncle is really generous!" ”

Zhang Chengxi finally couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly stood up, stared at Lu Zheng and said, "Lu Zheng, you tell me honestly, how did you get the head of the case?" What did you do?

If you confess truthfully, I can see that you and my uncle and nephew will be dealt with lightly, if you dare to hide it, hum, I will punish you severely! ”

Zhang Chengxi was wearing an official uniform, and when he got angry, he looked full of authority, but Lu Zheng raised his head and laughed, he looked at Zhang Chengxi with a clown look, and had the same thoughts as Wu Fu in his heart.

Why do people like Zhang Chengxi have to squeeze into officialdom? Isn't it good for him to be a rich man for the rest of his life? With his IQ in officialdom, what else can he do besides embarrassment and concocting farce?

Zhang Chengxi was laughed by Lu Zheng's laughter, his face was red, and he was angry, he was full of color, and he was about to go crazy, Lu Zheng's laughter converged, and he gently pressed his hand and said:

"Second uncle, don't get excited, please sit down, let's talk slowly! I'll tell you exactly what happened, okay? ”

Lu Zheng's tone became very calm, and as soon as Zhang Chengxi heard that Lu Zheng was going to confess, he finally sat down, and his face looked a little better.

Lu Zheng waited for him to sit down, and then he said slowly: "Second uncle, what you are most puzzled about should be that you have clearly replaced my exam papers, why can I still be the head of the case, isn't it?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Chengxi's heart shook violently, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost rolled out of his sockets: "You...... You...... You talk nonsense, I ...... I...... slander me ......"

Zhang Chengxi's mind was messy, and his heart panicked, Lu Zheng said: "Okay, uncle, don't be nervous, look at how scared you are, how big is it, as for it?" ”

Lu Zheng leaned in front of Zhang Chengxi and said word by word: "Second uncle, in fact, the matter of me being the head of the case was decided very early, let me tell you this, you just changed me with an exam paper, that is, you replaced my exam paper with a piece of shit and sent it to me, I am also the head of the Xinhe County test, I say so, will you always think that I am exaggerating?" ”

Zhang Chengxi gasped, Lu Zheng laughed, and said, "But, second uncle, this is really the truth!" When it comes to these things, you can't say it clearly in a few words, do you want to hear it, second uncle?

Butler Cui is old, but he understands in his heart that he begged me, let me tell you, he is afraid that you will fall into Wu Fu's trap, this minion is greedy, but he has nothing to say to the Zhang family, he is loyal! ”
