Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Jingzhai blessed his soul and replied: "I didn't ask you anything, I, I didn't see anything!" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No, Brother Zhang, you obviously saw two fierce tigers rushing down from the hillside and biting this group of bandits to death, and then the two of us took advantage of the chaos to escape." ”

"That's right, that's right, it's two tigers." Zhang Jingzhai nodded again and again.

Seeing that Zhang Jingzhai was so well-behaved, Tang Ning patted him on the shoulder and said reassuringly: "Okay, Brother Zhang, take a rest here, I'll go see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”

After a while, Tang Ning walked back and said to Zhang Jingzhai: "Okay, these thieves should all be dead, Brother Zhang, should we continue to set off to Gaoyao or go back to the county seat?" ”

"Oh, it's all like this, what are you going to Gao Yao, hurry back to Panyu, Gao Yao is there, let's go and write a letter." Zhang Jingzhai pleaded bitterly.

Tang Ning thought about it, and felt that it didn't seem good to go to Gao Yao with the two of them now, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go back." Brother Zhang, sit down, I'll catch the car. ”

"Huh? Will Mr. Shi still catch a car? Zhang Jingzhai asked in surprise.

Tang Ning said in his heart, although I can't drive the car, but I know how to control beasts, so he nodded very forcefully and said, "I understand a little, I understand a little!" ”

After returning to Panyu, Zhang Jingzhai immediately went to the county government to complain, saying that he met robbers on the road, and then met a tiger, the county order heard this strange thing, and immediately sent the officials to follow Zhang Jingzhai and Fan Jin's route to search, and then found the corpses all the way, and sure enough, they all died in the mouth of the tiger, and what is even more shocking is that these dead people are the monk Huimin and the monks in his temple and the tenants below.

So Zhang Jingzhai immediately sued Huimin for murdering him, and found the coachmen to testify for him, and privately gave the county order a lot of money, and finally won all the land in Huimin's name, but this person was really well-behaved, and took the initiative to send half of the land to Tang Ning, half grateful and half afraid.

After settling down the tenants of the land and property, and lingering with the two concubines for more than half a month, Tang Ning reluctantly set off to the capital to take the exam, maybe everyone thinks that there are still many months, Tang Ning has no need to go in such a hurry, but you must know that there was no train in that era, and you can only rely on two legs to hurry.

Although I have seen a lot of scenic spots and customs along the way, I have really suffered a lot, but fortunately, Tang Ning has practiced internal strength for more than a year, and his physical fitness is quite good, so he doesn't have to worry about getting sick or being robbed, and the money is placed in the system space and he doesn't worry about losing it, which is a lot of trouble, you must know how many people are sick and even suffer from life worries on the way to Beijing to catch the exam. (The background of many folklore is that scholars go to Beijing to take exams, such as Liaozhai.) ）

But even so, after arriving in Nanjing, Tang Ning felt that he had to take a good rest, and he couldn't continue to rush so hard, and Nanjing was a place full of hidden dragons and tigers and strange people.

So after finding a high-end inn and resting for a day, Tang Ning asked the shopkeeper: "I heard that there is a strange man in Nanjing, Du Yi, do you know where he lives?" As he spoke, he placed a piece of broken silver on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Er replied proudly: "If you want to say that there are thousands of scholars in this Nanjing city, I really don't know if you ask about others, but when it comes to Du Yi and Du Shaoqing, there are really few people who don't know." ”

"Oh? Why is this Du Yi so famous? Tang Ning asked knowingly.

Xiao Er sighed: "Because he is a well-known loser!" What kind of family is the Changdu family that day, it has been a Shangshu and a champion, even Du Yi's father has been the prefect of Ganzhou, you say such a family, even if he Du Yi is not an official, just relying on family property is enough for his wives and concubines to live a lifetime, but he is good, no matter who it is, as long as you pretend to be pitiful in front of him, he will give you money, and as a result, Wanguan's family wealth was lost by him! Do you know where he lives now? On the edge of the Qinhuai River! ”

"Isn't it good on the edge of the Qinhuai River? Isn't that just the right time to be a flirtat? Tang Ning really didn't understand this time, because in his impression, the house by the Qinhuai River should be very expensive, after all, it is a water-view house and an entertainment area, anyway, it must be expensive in the real world.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Er replied: "What's so good about that, it's all where small merchants and small families live, where can it be compared with the old man's mansion with high gate compounds and pavilions!" ”

"Each person has his own ambitions." Tang Ning replied casually, but in fact, the person he admired the most in the entire "History of Confucianism" was Du Shaoqing, this is a real wonderful person, a true portrayal of the self-style of a real celebrity, and it is said that some of the plots on him are the real experience of the author Mr. Wu Jingzi, and even this is the image that Wu Jingzi pursues in his mind.

After inquiring about the address, Tang Ning bought some gifts and came to the door of Du's house slowly, although Du Yi's current life can not be compared with before, but the bold and hospitable style has not changed at all, I heard that Tang Ning is from Panyu to lift people, go to Beijing to catch the exam, pass through Nanjing to visit, and immediately let his wife prepare wine and food, drink and talk.

Seeing the loving appearance of the two husband and wife, Tang Ning couldn't help but praise: "I have heard that Brother Shaoqing has a wonderful interpretation of the Book of Poetry, and now I see that the virtuous couple is really very affectionate and envious of others!" ”

Hearing Tang Ning say this, Du Shaoqing was slightly stunned, then reacted, and laughed: "Brother Fan is talking about the article "The Female Chicken Song", right?" ”

"That's right, on the cool mountain, drinking and playing the piano, holding the hand of the son, and Cailan giving peony, it is really a chord and a good story in the world! Brother Shaoqing is really a strange person in my generation! ”

What Tang Ning said was one thing that Du Shaoqing was very proud of, they went to Qingliang Mountain together as a husband and wife, Du Shaoqing drank too much, so he held his wife's hand in one hand, and held the golden cup of wine in the other, chanting poems and laughing all the way, walking more than a mile, and the people around him were stunned and did not dare to look directly.

Hearing Tang Ning talk about this, Du Shaoqing was naturally very proud, but he couldn't boast about himself, so he turned to say: "If you want to talk about strange people, there is a strange woman in our Nanjing City recently!" ”

PS: Du Shaoqing's free and easy attitude of ignoring the world's eyes and doing what he wants, this is the real romance, the so-called romance of pushing a few more women, and the grade is much lower than him.
