In Yingzhou City, there is a family that is holding a feast, and the person who is holding the banquet is Xu Ce's family.

It turned out that not long after the autumn of this year, Xu Ce finally passed the examination under the guidance of Liu Ruqing. He is the youngest son in the family, the sixth in line, and the first person in the Xu family to pass the examination, the old man of the Xu family was happy, so he killed pigs and sheep, and feasted relatives and neighbors.

However, in the list of guests, there is Liu Ruqing's name. Originally, Liu Ruqing didn't want to join in the excitement, but Xu Ce insisted on him coming on the grounds of thanking Liu Ruqing for teaching for many days. Under the difficulty of being gracious, he had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads and rushed thousands of miles to the town.

When Liu Ruqing arrived, he saw that the Xu family was crowded, and there was no room in the house, and there were several tables in the yard. The stove room was busy, and although the dishes were not delicacies from the mountains and seas, they came up like flowing water. Xu Ce's elder brothers are greeting guests inside and out.

Liu Ruqing found a random place in the courtyard to sit down, and listened to the people next to him while munching on melon seeds. I only heard one person say: "The sixth child of the Xu family is a blessed person at first glance, he will be promoted in high school this year, and if he can go to high school again in Chunqiu next year, he will be able to become an official." ”

"The sixth child of the Xu family seems to have just passed ten years, he is young and has a bright future."

"Yes, yes, what a genius in the world."

Hearing this, Liu Ruqing pursed his lips, and said in his heart that someone was a champion in high school at the age of a weak crown, Xu Ce was willing to work hard at most, but a genius was nothing. When it comes to geniuses, he only serves his eldest brother.

Liu Ruqing was thinking that as the focus of this banquet, Xu Ce finally came out of the hall and began to greet the guests in the courtyard. His eyes were sharp, and he saw where Liu Ruqing was, and hurriedly ran to pull Liu Ruqing and said, "Little brother Qingxuan, why are you sitting here, come to the house and take a seat." ”

Liu Ruqing excused himself and said: "It's all your parents, and I don't know anyone, so forget it." ”

"No, no, no, you have to take a seat. If you hadn't been taught to write essays at the end, how could I have passed the exam so successfully? Xu Ce said as he pulled Liu Ruqing into the house, Liu Ruqing couldn't break free, and the two of them pulled and pulled into the house.

Liu Ruqing looked at a group of people in the house, including the Xu family master and several elders of the Xu family, Xu Ce's brothers, and the county gentry, and immediately broke free from Xu Ce's hands in embarrassment.

"Dad, big brother, this is what I told you, the second child of the Liu family, Liu Qingxuan." Xu Ce said.

Liu Ruqing arched his hand and said: "The junior Qingxuan has seen you, Young Master Xu is in high school, and he hasn't said hello to Master Xu yet." ”

Master Xu touched his beard and said with a smile: "I heard that Xiao'er often mentions Liu Xian's nephew, saying that Xian's nephew is very knowledgeable, and he is comparable to those teaching gentlemen in clan studies." Being able to go to high school this time depends on the allocation of his nephew. ”

"Where, where." Liu Ruqing hurriedly said modestly, thinking that this Xu Ce really said everything.

When a gentleman heard this, he asked in amazement: "It seems that this little brother has good knowledge, I don't know which science jinshi it is?" ”

When Liu Ruqing heard this, her face sank slightly. Xu Ce knew that Liu Ruqing disdained fame and fortune, so he replied for him: "Qingxuan's junior brother is still young, and he will go to the scientific examination in two years." ”

It seems that he is not an official. The gentry smiled and replied haphazardly, and then sat down. Xu Ce pulled Liu Ruqing to sit down, and said in a low voice: "People in small places love to pull right and wrong. ”

"It's like this for everyone in Shilin, I won't mind." Liu Ruqing has seen too much officialdom and grievances, so she naturally doesn't pay attention to these little things.

"I thought you were living in seclusion in the mountains and not asking about the world. It turns out that you still know the atmosphere of Shilin. ”

Liu Ruqing shook her head and sighed, as if she had accidentally exposed something.

Just after noon, the feast finally began. Xu Ce, as the host, had to go to each table to toast, leaving Liu Ruqing alone to eat. When Master Xu saw that he was alone, he chatted with him for a few words.

Master Xu said: "I heard Xiao'er say, there is a big brother in your family, why didn't you come today?" ”

"The eldest brother is not in good health and is not suitable for a long journey, so the younger brother has to come over on his behalf to say goodbye."

Master Xu touched his beard and let out an "oh", he has always wondered what the two brothers of the Liu family do for a living. Seeing how they were dressed, they didn't look like they were from poor families. But they don't study the imperial examinations, and they don't look like businessmen. Is it really as Xu Ce said, a doctor who practices medicine?

Master Xu was about to inquire about Liu Ruqing on the side, but he heard from outsiders that the county master was here. Their Xu family is not a big gentry, and it is really strange that setting up a small banquet can alarm the county.

Master Xu had to take Xu Ce to the door to greet him, Liu Ruqing turned sideways and looked out of the door, this was unbelievable, the county master was followed by a group of people, including Feng Che and Zhang San.

I saw that they were dressed as civilians, and they probably didn't want to expose their identities and disturb the people. But who is Xu Ce, he followed Shao An back then, and he clearly saw Feng Che Zhenren. As a result, as soon as Xu Ce saw Feng Che, he exclaimed in surprise: "Feng, Lord Feng? ”

Feng Che: "......"

Zhang San: "......"

"Lord Feng?" Master Xu had never seen the former Governor of Yingzhou, and looked at the few adults behind the magistrate, not knowing which one was Lord Feng.

Naturally, the little people present did not know. Xu Ce excitedly introduced to the villagers: "This is our Lord Zhizhou of Yingzhou." Lord Feng, who has governed Huaishui for us, rebuilt the embankment, and rectified the corrupt officials. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Lord Feng who was "Feng Chezhi, the flood was raging". Of course, now everyone will no longer complain about Feng Che, but will be grateful to him for helping the people and punishing corrupt officials. Of course, Xu Ce has also made a lot of efforts in this, so he has gradually become prestigious in front of the villagers over the years.

"Lord Feng." The crowd saluted. Feng Che was speechless and helped everyone up, and the county magistrate on the side had a playful expression on his face, and he said, well, with Feng Che's fame, it is still too naïve to want to be recognized in Yingzhou.

Feng Che looked at Xu Ce, who was excited, and after thinking about it, he knew that he was a scholar who was proficient in water conservancy back then, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he was in high school. Feng Che arched his hand and said, "Congratulations." ”

Xu Ce hurriedly returned the salute, "Thank you Lord Feng for cultivating back then, I am grateful for my later life." Lord Feng, didn't you go to the Criminal Department to become an official, why did you return to Yingzhou? ”

"I'm here to find someone." Feng Che pulled Xu Ce aside and pulled out a picture scroll, "Have you seen the person in the painting?" ”

Xu Ce took a closer look and exclaimed again, "This is not ...... Is Qing Xuan a virtuous brother? ”

"We're looking for him in a hurry."

"He's eating wine in there." Xu Ce hurriedly led Feng Che into the house, but as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded, where is there still Liu Ruqing's shadow here?

Xu Ce asked the people at the same table, "What about Brother Liu Xian?" ”

"Just went out." The man was also at a loss.

Zhang San sensed that something was wrong, and whispered to Feng Che: "My people are all staring outside the gate, he shouldn't be able to get out." ”

Since he couldn't get out of this courtyard, Feng Che thought for a while and said, "Then trouble this little brother, help us find him." ”

Xu Ce was sent to the courtyard to find someone hard, and the irrelevant people in the hall also went out with a lot of eyes. Master Xu touched the sweat on his head, and respectfully invited Lord Feng and the county master to take a seat. Zhang San was afraid that Xu Ce would not be able to invite Liu Ruqing, so he went with him to find someone.

"I don't know what mistake Liu Qingxuan made, but he actually drove Lord Feng to come in person." Master Xu asked tremblingly.

Feng Che hurriedly relieved: "The old man is thinking about it, it's not that it's a crime, it's that we have something to find him." Master Xu doesn't have to worry. ”

"I see." Master Xu wiped the sweat on his head again, and a hanging heart finally landed.

Liu Ruqing really couldn't get out of the compound, and was found soon. Liu Ruqing looked at Zhang San angrily, then looked at Feng Che who was seated, walked straight over with an expressionless face, and sat down.

Just sit down? It's rude, isn't it? Xu Ce thought that Liu Ruqing didn't know Feng Che's identity, so he hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Feng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, why don't you see the courtesy?" ”

Liu Ruqing glanced at the two of them lazily and didn't move. Ever since he learned Shao An's secret, he has come to hate everyone who has fought against Shao An and separated their brothers.

Feng Che waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. He said gently: "I came here this time to ask for advice. ”

"What?" Liu Ruqing said in a stiff tone.

Feng Che glanced at Master Xu and Xu Ce next to him, Zhang San immediately understood, and politely invited them out.

After the idlers and miscellaneous people left, Feng Che spoke: "We have something urgent to find Shao Xiang, please introduce it on your behalf." ”

Shao ...... Appearance? Liu Ruqing finally glanced at Feng Che and keenly grasped the key words in Feng Che's words. Of course, how could Liu Ruqing tell them where Shao An was so honestly, he shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is." ”

"How could you not know?" Zhang San looked anxious, and when he saw Liu Ruqing's cold look, he said in his heart where did he offend him?

"Big ...... The adult is haunted, and he has already resigned and gone into hiding, how can I know? Liu Ruqing almost called Brother Shao An, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed his words in time.

Zhang San naturally didn't believe it, when did the intelligence of his three teams go wrong. Liu Ruqing obviously lives with Shao An in a rural area in Yingzhou. He said in a low voice: "Do you know about Shao An and Li Hongyi?" ”

Liu Ruqing was even more angry when he mentioned this, Zhang San was actually embarrassed to ask? Liu Ruqing snorted coldly and did not speak.

"Looks like you know." Zhang San said firmly, "Then do you know that Li Hongyi has recovered his memory." ”

"He finally remembered?" Liu Ruqing finally had a little reaction and was no longer silent.

"He didn't think of it himself, it's all the credit of Lord Feng."

Liu Ruqing looked at Feng Che with a little surprise, Feng Che was just an outsider, he could actually help Li Hongyi remember the past?

Zhang San briefly explained the process of Feng Che's trial, and Liu Ruqing's eyes were no longer indifferent to Feng Che, but gradually became hot. After Zhang San finished speaking, Liu Ruqing finally got up and saluted Feng Che: "I was offended a lot just now, and General Li was able to recognize Shao Xiang, thanks to Lord Feng's discernment." What a great thing you have done! ”

"Well, what a good thing." Feng Che waved his hand, "This official only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." If I had known that Sun Yi was implicated in the back, I would never have said it at such a time. ”

Zhang San comforted: "You have blamed yourself all the way, Sun Yi wants to rebel, who would have thought of it." ”

Sun Yi ...... To be opposed? Liu Ruqing said in her heart What day is today, in just one cup of tea, she was frightened by waves after waves.

"Yes, Sun Yi is reversed."

"No way, I don't believe it."

"What are we lying to you for? That's ......" Zhang San said again what happened before and after Sun Yi's rebellion.

After Liu Ruqing heard this, he suddenly cried like crazy, and he said sadly: "I should have guessed it a long time ago, I have already found out that there is something wrong with Sun Yi." ”
