In the afternoon, the people who signed up to study in the county school were finally determined, a total of 12 students from Nanchong County chose to study in the county school, and the other 37 people either went to the county school in their respective counties or went to the government school.

What relieved Liu Ximing was that Lu Jiahong and the other-stirring sticks finally chose to go to the house, at least they couldn't see it.

"Quiet, Teach Wu."

Wu Liqun, the teacher in the county school, came to the Chongsheng Shrine where all the students gathered surrounded by a group of instructors.

Wu Liqun was dressed in a green official uniform, his sideburns were a little gray, and his thin face revealed a stern temperament, which made people a little daunting.

"First worship Kong Sheng with me."

Liu Ximing stood in the audience, thinking that Wu Liqun was going to say a few words first, but he didn't know that he said such a sentence with a cold face and turned his head and left.

More than a dozen students hurried to follow.

A group of people turned around the shrine and walked to the hall of the ancestors behind it.

As soon as Wu Liqun entered the main hall, he respectfully cleaned up his clothes.

"Nanchong County School New Enrollment Worship Teacher"

"Li", the master of ceremonies on the side sang loudly.

Wu Liqun lifted his robe and took the lead in kneeling, and the twelve students immediately knelt down.

The little guy in the county school handed Wu Liqun the incense pillar, and he got up after three bows and checked the incense pillar in front of the portrait of Confucius.

"After saluting, get up."

Wu Liqun turned around, his face full of cold and grim.

"You are blessed by your ancestors, blessed by the Son of Heaven, and have been a member of the middle school, since you are enrolled in the county school today, this official has to lash a few words as a county school teacher."

"As a student, when you always keep in mind the teachings of the sages, serve the king, and filial piety to your parents, that is, enter school, you will never forget the heart of learning."

Wu Liqun said a lot of official words at the beginning, and only at the end did he really get to the truth.

"When you first enter the county school, all of them are designated as attached students. The monthly examination in the county school is divided into 126 grades, and at the end of the year, those who are listed in the first and second grades can be promoted to supplement the students or the students. ”

"More importantly", Wu Liqun looked at everyone's eyes and became a little proud, "Only those who have a birth or a proliferation can participate in next year's township examination, if you don't have to study, don't complain that the official didn't say it in front of you." ”

All the people were suddenly awe-struck.

At this moment, Wu Liqun suddenly took out a document from his sleeve, he looked at the sentient beings, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the life of Liu Xi, the student?" ”

"The students are here", Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went out to salute.

Wu Liqun's gaze at him suddenly softened a lot, "The clerk of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Ximing, a student of Nanchong County, assisted in patrolling the imperial history Liu Jianhou to make many great contributions, and he was specially promoted as a member of the school to reward his merits." ”

"Wow"

The sentient beings were in an uproar, what was the situation.

Immediately, some people were not convinced, "Teaching, what is the reason for this, doesn't it say that those who are excellent in the year-end performance appraisal will enter, how can there still be people who engage in favoritism?" ”

The number of students given by the imperial court is limited, and one of them will be taken away, so what will happen to the others.

"Bastard", Wu Liqun's face fell, "Didn't Fang just say it, this is a document from the Ministry of Rites, if you are."

If you have the ability, you can also get one for the official to try. ”

The person who came out was reprimanded by Wu Liqun, and he was immediately frightened and didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Ximing stepped forward calmly and took the document from Wu Liqun's hand, Liu Jianhou had told him a few times about this, he was about to forget it, but he didn't expect Lao Liu to be reliable.

However, this matter is still a little tricky, Liu Ximing looked at the disapprehensive eyes of the other five students, and saluted Wu Liqun: "Sir, there is nothing to say to others, since you classmates have doubts, can you let the students explain a little." ”

Wu Liqun looked at Liu Ximing with a little surprise, in fact, he didn't have any doubts in his heart, but he had been an official for a long time, and he had already gotten used to some things.

Seeing Wu Liqun nodding, Liu Ximing smiled at the rest of the people: "No wonder this classmate is puzzled, at the end of last year, Pengzhou collected the Yuan Sect and made a ......."

Seeing that most of the people he knew were among this group of students, Liu Ximing immediately started thinking in his heart, and it seemed that he could start from the county school and first gather some scholars to strengthen his momentum.

This time, he took this opportunity to talk about how he assisted Liu Jianhou in breaking the Yuan Sect.

But of course, the process became how he strategized and assisted Liu Jianhou in making plans, but the matter about the Long Xiang camp passed by.

There was silence in the county school, and everyone's eyes became a little awe-inspiring when they looked at Liu Ximing, what kind of level does it have to be to give advice to the imperial history.

"Wu Jiaoyu, the student has something to ask, I don't know if it's okay?"

Coming out of the Ancestral Master's Palace, Liu Ximing left Du Liangji and the others behind and found Wu Liqun alone, who was about to leave.

Wu Liqun turned his head with some confusion, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Ximing looked around, all the students and several instructors were walking towards the Chongsheng Temple, and there were no outsiders in the corridor here.

He lowered his voice and asked: "My father is also a student of the county, three years ago, he had an accident in Fucheng, I heard that it was Sect Wu who sent him back at that time, and the student wanted to know about the situation at that time. ”

Liu Ximing observed Wu Liqun's expression as he spoke, and when he said Liu Shanqi's name, Wu Liqun's pupils shrank significantly.

When asked about Liu Shanqi's accident, Wu Liqun's cheeks twitched slightly unconsciously.

Liu Ximing's heart was tense, it had been a few years since this incident, but when he had just crossed over, he heard a trace of abnormality from his mother's mouth.

It is because he has always kept this matter in his heart, he usually has no fame, and many things are not convenient to do, but now he is not afraid.

After all, Liu Shanqi is the father of this body, and since he has taken other people's bodies, he should naturally do some small favors.

Looking at Wu Liqun's expression now, this matter is really not simple.

Wu Liqun subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, looked around, and beckoned to Liu Ximing, "Follow me." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and Liu Ximing hurriedly followed without saying a word.

The two went all the way to the place where Wu Liqun lived in the backyard of the county school, and when Liu Ximing followed him into the room, Wu Liqun looked around cautiously, and then closed the door.

"You just said you were Liu Shanqi's son?"

, Wu Liqun sat down and motioned for Liu Ximing to sit down as well.

"Yes"

"So what do you want to ask? I remember that the magistrate had already concluded the trial of the matter at that time. ”

Liu Ximing's face showed a trace of solemnity, "I heard Jiaci talk about the events of the day before, and the students felt that they had quite doubts, but in the past, they were struggling to ask for a word, so they didn't dare to make a statement everywhere, but now the students have gained fame and are here, so they want to inquire about it." ”

Afraid that Wu Liqun would deny it, Liu Ximing hurriedly added, "As far as the students know, there are several seniors in the county school who know something about their late father, and this time I just want to confirm it with Mr. ”

Wu Liqun's eyes closed slightly, and he opened them for a long time before he said: "For the sake of teachers and students, you can ask if you have anything, if you know, I will tell you, and I can't help the others." ”

Liu Ximing was slightly happy in his heart, and immediately sat up straight and faced Wu Liqun.

"Jiaci once said that it was Sect Wu who brought a few servants to send my father's body back to the village that day, but is this true?"

"It's true", Wu Liqun heard that it was not a big deal, and replied a little easily.

Liu Ximing immediately asked: "Are those servants from the government?" ”

Wu Liqun paused, "...... Yes", he said in a somewhat froze tone.

Liu Ximing tightened his teeth and asked his previous doubts, "Dare to ask sir, my father is from Nanchong County, why did he send the government officials to send it?" ”

"This ......"

Wu Liqun seemed to fall into the memory, "I was reading in the county school that day, but I heard a report from someone that a student had fallen to his death, and when I arrived, I found that the person had been carried away by the government." ”

"When I waited until the next day, news came from the county that Liu Shanqi's case had been concluded by the government office, and the county asked me to come forward and take Lu Hong and other servants from the government to send the body back to the township, and by the way, appease your family."

"Does the gentleman also think that this matter is suspicious?"

Liu Ximing saw the wavering in Wu Liqun's eyes, and immediately asked.

Wu Liqun nodded silently.

After a while, he continued: "At that time, I mentioned it to the county, but I learned that Zhang Mingcheng of the county scolded me, saying that I should not be nosy, just send people back, so I didn't ask more." ”

"So there should be a problem in the government office, may I ask sir, who was the name of the magistrate who tried the case at that time? Is he still in the palace now? ”

Liu Ximing suddenly stood up and bowed down and asked.

"Hey, it is said that the trial was concluded by Zhao Minglun, the official of the government that day, and he still holds the position of the magistrate."

"Thank you, sir, if you don't say thank you, then the student won't bother", Liu Ximing already knew in his heart, and he directly surrendered his hand at this time.

Wu Liqun waved his right hand slightly, as if he wanted to stop him, but finally turned into a sigh, "Do what you can, don't be reckless, you still have a lot of future." ”

Liu Ximing was moved in his heart, it seems that what his mother said before was right, his father Liu Shanqi always boasted that he was close to Wu Liqun, and he thought that he should have reminded him for the sake of the old man.

Thinking of this, he nodded heavily at Wu Liqun, turned around and walked out of the door.
