In the Yuncheng County Yazhong, the county lieutenant Wu sat in the public house and sank like water, he had already received the news that he was about to leave his post, and at this time he seemed to be holding a fire in his heart. A small lawsuit actually allowed himself to be an old official, planted in the hands of a stinky child, how willing he was. After sitting for a long time, he went out and gave an order, and only a moment two people came in, and the three of them stayed in the room for half an hour, and then the two left.

At the same time, on the shore of the small river at the east gate of Yuncheng County, under the shade of the willows, an old man and a young man sat and drank again.

"Your Excellency is aware of everything and serves justice, the kid will toast you for the people of Yuncheng." Gu Haotian respectfully raised his glass to each other.

"It's just my duty to be the master of the people." The old man replied lightly and raised his glass to drink.

"In this worldly government, it is rare to remember to be the master of the people!" Gu Haotian sighed with emotion as he spoke.

"At such a young age, how can you say this."

"Isn't it?"

Xu Churen was asked by Gu Haotian, and was stunned for a while, thinking back to his career experience, a few times up and down, how many officials of all sizes have been seen, and how many officials can really be the masters of the people, and thinking of the miasma of the current court, he was speechless for a while.

"The kid has no form, disturbs the adult's Qingxing, and punishes himself with a cup." Gu Haotian saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he jokingly punished himself.

This kid is a talent that can be created, Xu Churen looked at the young man in front of him and thought to himself. In the past few days, he has specifically inquired about Gu Haotian's situation, but the information he doesn't want to feedback is so good, he sacrificed his life to save people at a young age, and later released food to help the homeless, including this time to save people, it seems that what he has done is a benevolent act that does not match his age, and he can't help but think of that rumor.

"It's true that after you were struck by lightning the year before last, your temperament changed drastically.

Xu Churen stared at Gu Haotian tightly and asked, the words of the gods and monsters were originally unbelievable to people of his level, but the kid in front of him was indeed a little weird, so he asked.

"The adults asked, and the boys didn't dare to deceive, after the lightning strike, his brain was indeed much clearer, and his temperament changed, as if he had grown up all of a sudden."

Gu Haotian deliberately left a little mystery for Xu Churen.

"There are such miracles in the world, and the boy is a lucky man." Xu Churen stared at him for a long time and sighed. Then he asked, "I see that you have seen extraordinary knowledge, and where have you learned?" ”

"I'm ashamed, Mr. Wen Huanzhang, the family teacher, has been worshipping his disciples for nearly a year."

"But Wen Huanzhang from Anren Village, Tokyo?"

"Exactly."

"But it's your blessing, Mr. Wen is famous in the capital, no wonder he has taught such an outstanding student, but he has been famous for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to meet, which is a pity." Xu Churen also heard of Wen Huanzhang's name during his time in the capital, and he didn't want him to be under his rule now.

"Mr. Wen is now in the boy's manor, if the adult has time, the boy should be introduced."

"That's very good."

Later, Xu Churen took the test for Gu Haotian again, and found that his talent was really good, so he fell in love with talent.

"The second half of the year is the autumn season, the kid might as well give it a try, the old man has been up and down in officialdom for decades and has some experience in the imperial examination, if you have time to come and sit, it may be helpful to you."

"The adult is loved, the kid is flattered, how dare he disobey."

Gu Haotian got up and knelt down to make a big salute, and Xu Churen did not refuse, but accepted it indifferently. Since then, although the two have not been named master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice.

The autumn festival was the first pass of the imperial examination in the Zhou Dynasty - the Liberation Examination, which was actually the township examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which was held by the state capitals. The way in which the participants were selected was also different from that of later generations. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, only those who were admitted to the county, government and hospital examinations, and entered the prefecture (state) school or county school, and obtained the qualification of the student that is the talent show can participate in the township examination. The test objects of the Zhou Dynasty were recommended by the counties and other methods, as long as they participated in the test, and regardless of whether the government test was or not, they could be called Xiucai. Therefore, it was known as "not the first talent" at that time. Wang Lun of the original Liangshan called it a white-clothed showman, but in fact, "white-clothed" means "not first".

Gu Haotian was actually not enthusiastic about the imperial examination, he knew very well that he could not be an official in the system of the Zhou Dynasty, and the reason why he agreed to Xu Churen was mainly because he wanted to brush up his popularity through the examination. In this era, the cultural people were still very respected, and if he could obtain the status of a lifter, it would be of great help to him in his future actions, but he was not interested in the subsequent provincial and palace examinations.

An old man and a young man talked freely about knowledge, commented on the past and the present, and enjoyed themselves until the twilight of the day.

Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang drove the carriage to Gujiazhuang, and Gu Haotian, who had eaten wine for half a day, fell asleep on the wheel unconsciously in the evening breeze.

Bian Xiang saw that the little official was asleep, slowed down and walked slowly, and when he reached a small tree halfway, it was already dark, and at this time, a carriage suddenly drove out from behind the woods, and the healthy horse crashed straight into Gu Haotian's car like crazy.

"Petty officials, be careful!"

Before Bian Xiang's words fell, the two carriages had already collided head-on, Gu Haotian only felt a huge pain in his thigh, and immediately woke up, only to find that he was crushed under the carriage. Bian Xiang rolled up from the ground, grabbed the green tendons of the wheel with both hands, and only said "up" and lifted the injured horse by a foot, Gu Haotian used his hands and feet to move the injured leg that was pressed under the wheel, but found that the thigh was broken and pulled a big hole and was dripping with blood. At this time, he suddenly saw a group of black-clothed men with knives and weapons, who had rushed from the grove to Bian Xiang's back.

"Bian Xiang is careful behind."

Gu Haotian suddenly shouted angrily, and Bian Xiang's reaction was also very agile, only to see him quickly pull out his portable Pu knife and turn around, but he heard a sharp sound of "dang", which was able to block the oncoming knife. At this time, the two of them saw clearly, there were eleven or two black-clothed masked people in front of them, Gu Haotian's thigh was injured and blood was leaning against the wall of the car and could not move, Bian Xiang was holding a knife in front of him, but he didn't dare to stay away from the little officials behind him, but he couldn't use his kung fu, only half a pillar of incense time, Bian Xiang was already scarred, and Gu Haotian was gradually weakened due to blood loss.

"Bian Xiang, you don't want to take care of me, just kill and go back to the village to call someone to come and avenge me."

Seeing that the sky is dark, there is no hope for pedestrians on the road to ask for help, Gu Haotian thinks that instead of the two of them trapped here, it is better to escape one person, and it is no problem to break through with Bian Xiang's skills, but he can't imagine that his career through this world has not yet been carried out, but he wants to hang here, which is really unwilling.

"Little official, don't say much, I Bian Xiang swore two years ago that I will protect you in this life, if these birds don't step on me, don't want to hurt you a single hair."

Bian Xiang roared repeatedly, but there were some tears in the round eyes of the tiger, he had been with him for many years, he had already regarded the little official as his dearest person, especially in the past two years, the behavior of the little official, so that he added a worship in addition to the family affection, I wanted to follow the little official for a lifetime, but this thief is always against him, at this time, if the little official has an accident in front of his eyes, what face does he have to live.

"Silly brother, why bother."

Gu Haotian also knew that Bian Xiang would never let him go, and smiled bitterly in his heart, it was good to think about it, it would be good to go to the underworld as a companion at that time. After a while, Gu Haotian's consciousness was already a little blurred, he couldn't hold it anymore, and slowly slid down the wall of the car and sat on the ground, Bian Xiang also realized that the little official was wrong, but he was helpless.

"Zhiniang's pickled beast, all of them are killed at your grandfather, if you frown, you are not a hero." Bian Xiang shouted sadly, but he was helpless.

In Gu Haotian's last consciousness, it seemed that a carriage came from behind, and he passed out.

In fact, this is indeed the case, and at the moment when the two of them were at stake, a carriage came from the direction of the county seat.

"Brother, there is a fight ahead, and the voice seems to be Brother Bian Xiang." There were two people sitting on the first wheel, and the person who spoke was thin and small, it was Shi Qian, but it was Zhu Gui who was sitting next to him.

"It's not good, that voice is Brother Bian Xiang, they seem to be in trouble, hurry up." When Zhu Gui heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised his whip and hurried forward.

"Brother Bian Xiang ahead?" Shi Qian shouted from a distance.

At this time, Bian Xiang was at a critical moment, and suddenly heard the sound of time shifting, as if he heard the sound of immortals.

"Brother Shi Qian came just in time, the little official was injured, and he helped chop up this group of beasts." Bian Xiang's spirits were greatly boosted.

When the people here heard that the petty official was injured, they all picked up the guy and threw himself at the man in black. And the men in black saw that someone was coming to help, so they gave up and fled. Poor Bian Xiang fought hard for a long time and no longer had the strength to chase after him, so he had to watch those leave, and when Shi Qian and Zhu Gui arrived, the group was gone.

"Hurry up to the back and invite Doctor Gao, it's important to save the little officials." Shi Qian was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhu Gui.

Let's talk about why Shi Qian and Zhu Gui came here at night, it turned out that after the lawsuit of the senior doctor of the Huichun Hall, he knew that it was not easy for Yuncheng County to survive, and a small charge almost bankrupted his family, and even endangered his life. And Gu Haotian's help made him deeply feel the sincerity and loyalty of the Gu family, so he resolutely gave up the foundation of the county town and moved to Liangshan. In order not to be too eye-catching, Shi Qian and Zhu Gui led people to protect the people and medicines of the Rejuvenation Hall to Gaojiazhuang at night, preparing to take a boat to Liangshan tomorrow.

Gu Hao's destiny should not be extinguished, and he is also a good person, but at the critical moment, he met the tall doctor he had just saved.

Gaojiazhuang fell into chaos again, but fortunately, there were a lot of people from the Rejuvenation Hall present, so that they would not panic.

"Outside the staff, don't panic, the little official is just in a coma with excessive blood loss, and he will recover after slowly adjusting, fortunately he caught up early, otherwise it would be troublesome." Doctor Gao said to Gu Zhen and Li.

"Who is so vicious as to dare to intercept and kill my son on the avenue." Gu Zhen had palpitations, but he gritted his teeth.

"I estimate that it should be related to the county lieutenant Wu, otherwise we don't have any enemies in Yuncheng County, and ordinary people don't have such ability and courage." Zhu Gui analyzed.

"If that's the case, it's me who has been a burden to the petty officials." Dr. Gao was deeply disturbed.

"Don't say that, the outside matter will be entrusted to Zhu Gui and Shi Qian, the two directors, only cure Tian'er for now, and deal with the rest of the matter slowly in the future, and some signs will be found in the end." Gu Zhen comforted everyone.

On this night, the atmosphere in Gaojiazhuang was extremely heavy, but a storm was already brewing invisibly.
