Xinhe County Ya, Nie Yong returned to the back house from the yamen after a day of work, only to feel that his head was groggy, his feet were not careful, he was tripped by the threshold, and the whole person was like rolling wood, and he rolled directly to the ground.

"Oh, sir!" The little guy who was waiting in the back house was so frightened that his soul was about to be lost, and he hurriedly came over to help him up. The girls in the back house, the mothers-in-law came together, and it happened that the palm lamp was very much, and the light in the room was dim, which was really messy.

Master Liang Shu heard the movement next door, hurriedly ran over, and saw that Nie Yong's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder, scolding the maid in the house to the point of spurting blood.

Fortunately, Nie Yong's fall only hurt his nose, which looked scary, but in fact, the injury was not serious, the maids were busy for a while, changed Nie Yong's clothes, and the chaotic state was over.

But after Nie Yong passed through this scene, his mood was even worse, and he locked himself in the study, and the man who was big actually howled and cried.

He remembered that three years ago in the capital, on the night he offended Dai Xiang, he went to visit the adults and colleagues of the six departments, hoping to get their help, and these people closed their doors one after another.

And just because the misfortune is not alone, his wife with knotted hair is sick, and after hearing the news that Nie Yong is going to be demoted, he is anxious, and his condition is even more serious.

Nie Yong received news from the officials in the embattled environment and reprimanded him to Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and he was expelled from the Hanlin Academy on the same day.

That day happened to be a stormy night, after being expelled from the Hanlin Academy, he returned to the rented courtyard house in the capital, and his wife was terminally ill and had no cure, and died in his arms that night.

The career was unsuccessful, his beloved wife died of illness, Nie Yong was really tired like a lost dog, when he left the capital, he was alone, and there was no one to send him.

He left the capital with a very heavy heart, and when he left, standing on the post road out of the capital, he vowed to return to the capital, and he would get back all the things he had lost.

Although three years have passed, the situation on that day is still vivid, but Nie Yong thinks about his three years in Yangzhou, and it is all sad to mention it.

In addition, although he had been a Hanlin, he was completely different from the Hanlin Academy when he went to the local government, and his colleagues bullied him for not understanding the world, and he was stumbling everywhere, and he didn't know how many heels he had planted.

Three years of county orders, he did nothing, the evaluation is almost the bottom, and this year is a year of many disasters in Xinhe County, a fire just broke out a few months ago, these days there have been floods in dozens of villages in the north, thousands of people are homeless, the county treasury is empty, and the prefect yamen he can't dredge the relationship.

In order to relieve the disaster, he didn't close his eyes for a few days, but it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and the money and food were insufficient, which provoked a civil uprising, and finally pressed it down, he wanted to go back to the backyard to rest for a while, but the threshold was against him, and he fell into a dog and gnawed, his face was covered with blood, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Many things piled up together, the more Nie Yong thought about it, the worse his mood became, he only felt that his future was difficult to move forward, at this time he had mixed feelings, who said that men don't cry, but it's not time to be sad.

After being alone for half an hour, his mood was slightly soothed, and he immediately asked the maid to invite his master Liang Shu over.

Master Liang had actually been waiting outside, Nie Yong passed him, and he immediately walked in from the outside and said, "Lord County, you don't need to worry, the so-called Sai Weng is not a blessing, I think everything may have taken a turn for the better." ”

Nie Yong raised his hand and said: "Master Liang, don't give me relief, I have the bottom in my heart, the situation is very difficult now, and the road ahead is confused!" ”

Master Liang smiled and said, "My lord, everything was confused before yesterday, but after today, it is the clouds and the sun!" ”

Nie Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Master say this?" ”

Master Liang slowly leaned into Nie Yong's ear, and said in a low voice: "Hard work pays off, the three years of hard work of adults have finally paid off!" A letter was sent from the green bamboo forest today. ”

"Ah......" Nie Yong exclaimed, instantly bounced up, and said, "Where is the letter?" Why didn't you tell me sooner, hey, what a mistake! ”

Liang Shu smiled mysteriously and said: "Today, adults are busy with disaster relief all day long, and I can't bother with this, first, there are many people outside, and the green bamboo forest is not an ordinary place, and it is not a place that can be mentioned on any occasion, so I want to wait for the right time to tell you about it." ”

Nie Yong nodded and said, "Faith, what about faith?" ”

Liang Shu took out the letterhead from his sleeve unhurriedly, and then respectfully handed it to Nie Yong, who carefully opened the letterhead, and then leaned under the oil lamp to read the contents of the letter word by word.

His face changed as he read it, and when he had read all the contents, he placed it on the table, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to pace back and forth.

"It's worthy of Master Yan, his moves are sharp and deafening. I really didn't think that there was such a means of putting oneself to death and then rejuvenating, wonderful, wonderful! Nie Yongdao, he groaned slightly, looked at Liang Shu and said:

"What does Master think?"

Liang Shu said: "I thought the adults were right, this is a miracle trick, it is to put it to death and then live, for adults, this is probably the only way to live." ”

Nie Yongdao: "Then what are you waiting for?" Go ahead and do it immediately, you will draft the letter to Lord Liang, I will polish it, and we will do it tonight! ”

"The current situation doesn't wait for me, and I can't delay for a moment!"

"Wait, sir! I also have a sentence to say, the boy who sent the letter said, this letterhead was not written by Yan Lao, and the content in it is not Yan Lao's meaning, this letter was written by the boy next to Yan Lao, and the content of the letter was dictated by Yan Lao's new disciple, my lord, you say......"

"Huh?" Nie Yong was stunned for a moment, slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he said: "Since that incident, Elder Yan has retired and no longer asks about the affairs of the court, this is the rule he has set himself. This letter was not written by him, it was not his intention, and it is reasonable, but if he had not nodded his head, the letter would not have reached my hands. ”

Liang Shu's pupils tightened and said, "What do you mean by adults...... But why ......?"

Nie Yongdao: "Elder Yan has a disciple, this is the first information that the old man told me, and second, this disciple is extraordinary, this is the second information that the old man told me. Stratagems are dead, people are alive, and it would be best if I could get the help of his disciples! ”

"Master Liang, arrange for someone to investigate, and find out the identity and origin of Old Disciple Yan at all costs, and report it to me immediately after figuring it out!" Nie Yong said seriously.

"I will write a letter to Lord Liang tonight, in addition, we must carefully consider the order of raising talents, it is not a trivial matter to promote talents for the country, it cannot be a child's play, once it is really virtuous, we must live up to the emperor's grace and the court!"

……

Lu Zheng slept badly all night, but fortunately, the next day was a day off, and Lu Zheng didn't need to go to his master's side, he only needed to write two essays at home.

When he got up in the morning, Ying'er waited for him to finish freshening up, Si Qi and Huamei prepared a delicate breakfast for Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng had just eaten a little, and he heard the shadow in the courtyard say:

"Is Grandma here? What delicious snacks did you bring with you? ”

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, and immediately stood up and looked out from the window, and through the gap in the grille window, he saw Liu Kun.

Compared with Hua Hanyun's publicity, Liu Kun is the other extreme, she is introverted, gentle, and kind-hearted, Lu Zheng thinks of Liu Kun, and often the words "red face and thin life" will appear in his mind.

A woman like Liu Kun can be said to be perfect in Lu Zheng's eyes, but she is making people, she married the Zhang family, and not long after she got married, her husband died.

It doesn't matter if her husband died, she also left a big laughing stock, which made Liu Kun need to bear a lot of fame burden, and in this way, she has been living alone in the Zhang family for several years.

Liu Kun's expression was slightly panicked, her eyes flickered, but she saw the grille window at once, and then, she naturally saw Lu Zheng.

Through the gap in the window, the two of them met their eyes, Liu Kun's face was dyed red, and he twisted his head to the other side, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, slowly paced to the door, and said:

"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that you must have something to do when you came over today, right?"

Liu Kun had already adjusted her emotions, and in the face of Lu Zheng's inquiry, she looked around in a little panic, Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and said:

"Shadow, go and give grandma a cup of tea, sister-in-law, come in and talk! If I'm not mistaken, is it related to Brother Song? ”

"Ah......" Liu Su exclaimed, nodded, and said, "Brother Zheng'er, sister-in-law begs you, don't let Brother Song make trouble, don't let him make trouble." Now Brother Song doesn't listen to anyone, and I can't control him, only you can control him! ”

"What's going on? What's crazy about this kid? Sister-in-law, don't worry, what is the matter between you and me first, I will definitely find a way to help you solve it! Lu Zheng said.

Liu Yan's face turned red again, and it happened that Ying'er came to serve her tea, and when she heard what Brother Song'er had done, Ying'er said: "What else can it be, Brother Song and the third master quarreled, and said that they would burn down the third master's yard!" ”

Liu Kun's hand slid slightly, and the tea spilled out of the cup and almost burned his hand.

Lu Zheng "chuckled" in his heart, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant, and as soon as Ying'er said this, Lu Zheng felt that things were not simple.

Isn't the third master of the Zhang family Zhang Chengbei? Zhang Chengbei is one of the masters of the Zhang family, Liu Song is just an outsider in the Zhang family, as long as this kid is not crazy, how can he play tricks on Zhang Chengbei?

Shadow handed the teacup to him, he took the teacup in his hand, and slowly tasted the tea, before he could put the teacup down, he heard the shout of Qiuyue outside the courtyard:

"Grandma, it's not good, Brother Song, Brother Song let people beat!"
