Cui Dongsheng wanted to find Ma Shilang's grandson, but he had no clue, and suddenly, he remembered that a few days ago, Zheng Gangling, the commander of Xingyang County, had submitted a file to him, which was also a case, which seemed to be a very complicated case, but it was solved very quickly, and it was a case that was quickly solved with the help of a scholar named Li Rizhi.

The dossier blew Li Rizhi to the sky, Li Rizhi is simply not a person, but a half-fairy, Cui Dongsheng was surprised after reading this dossier at the time, is there such a person in the world who can solve cases?

From just two footprints, a complicated case, and a case where the scene was completely destroyed, is not what a half-fairy is, although Cui Dong has been promoted to an official for many years, he has really never seen such a person who can solve cases.

If what Zheng Gangling wrote in the file is the truth, then Cui Dongsheng can be sure that even if Li Rizhi is allowed to enter the Criminal Department of Chang'an now, then Li Rizhi can immediately sit in the position of pushing the official, and his ability is definitely enough!

Cui Dongsheng is a very good official, and he will not hesitate to recommend talents, he immediately asked someone to ask, who is this Li Rizhi, and it turned out to be easy to find out, it turned out to be Zheng Gangling's eldest nephew!

Cui Dongsheng's nose was almost crooked, is there a mistake, this Zheng Gangling usually looks very upright, how can he brag about this kind of cowhide for his nephew, or write it to the cowhide in the dossier, it's too shameless!

Fortunately, I sent someone to check first, otherwise I really believed in two footprints, and I would have been able to solve the cowhide of a big case, wouldn't it be a shame for myself!

Therefore, Cui Dongsheng threw Zheng Gangling's file aside and never asked again.

However, when he encountered a tricky case, Cui Dongsheng thought again: "If Zheng Gangling is not bragging, but his eldest nephew is really powerful and very good at solving cases, how good it would be that he can find Ma Shilang's grandson, in that case, wouldn't he be on the same line with Ma Shilang, and his career in the future will be much smoother!" ”

Just when he was thinking so, someone suddenly came outside to report, saying that there was a scholar who asked to see him, named Li Rizhi, who was a student of Guo Youjie, the head of Shangyang Academy, and specially took a letter from Guo Shanchang to Lord Thorn Shi, and was waiting outside the door!

Cui Dongsheng listened to it and couldn't help but be stunned, Li Rizhi? No, he was thinking about Li Rizhi just now, but Li Rizhi arrived in an instant, could it be that this is God's will, that is, let him meet, know, and make friends with Li Rizhi?

Cui Dongsheng couldn't help but think that there was a providence in the dark, since the providence was made clear, then he should respect the will of heaven and not neglect Li Rizhi!

Cui Dongsheng said: "It turns out that Li Rizhi has arrived, okay, then the official will personally welcome him into the door!" ”

The servant who reported the news was stunned for a moment, he rarely saw Cui Dongsheng go out to greet others, except for his boss, no one in Benzhou could have this glory!

Cui Dongsheng was born in a famous family, his status is noble, and he is the assassin of a state, the highest governor of Zhengzhou, and he usually has a big official frame, but today he has to meet a young scholar, isn't it a strange thing!

Not only was the servant who delivered the letter surprised, but also the servant who was waiting at the door in the house was also surprised, what is the matter with the master, he is going to greet the guest, who is the guest, could it be a high-ranking official from Beijing, or a relative of the emperor?

Let's say that Li Rizhi left the inn in the morning, and he saw the dim sum Xi Shi on the horse, and after a sigh, he arrived at the Thorn Shi Mansion after a while, but it was too early at this time, and it is estimated that Thorn Shi had just gotten up, maybe he was having breakfast, and it should be a bit rude to see him at this time.

Li Rizhi was already prepared to wait, he even thought that he might have to wait for several days, if Cui Tingshi was too busy, for a small person like himself, he would definitely not let go of the matter at hand and come to meet him, so he could only wait until Cui Tingshi had time to meet him, so he had to wait!

And since he has to wait, of course, wait for the whole day, so that he can be respectful, so Li Rizhi plans to wait all day today, and then come back tomorrow, he has to wait for seven days in a row, if he waits for seven days, Cui Tingshi has not seen him, then he may have an opinion on himself, although why he has an opinion, this is difficult to figure out, but there is no need for him to ask for a meeting.

He had already made this plan, so after asking the servant who was guarding the door to go in and report it, he waited honestly in the gatehouse, planning to sit like this all day!

But he didn't wait long before he heard someone outside the door: "Who is Li Rizhi, where is Li Rizhi?" ”

Li Rizhi hurriedly stood up and looked outside the gatehouse, and saw the servants outside the door saluting a middle-aged man together, and this middle-aged man was also looking inside the gatehouse, and they looked at each other, just seeing each other!

Li Rizhi saw that the middle-aged man standing outside was wearing a very neat set of scribe's clothes, wearing a black swallow-wing satin hat on his head, and a very beautiful long beard.

And Cui Dongsheng was also looking at Li Rizhi, and saw that this young man in the gatehouse was wearing a very neat set of scribe clothes, without a hat on his head, but wearing a golden ring of hair, with a ruddy face and bright eyes, this young man looked like he was very clean, very gentle, and must have been born in an official family!

The impression at first glance is very important, Li Rizhi and Cui Dongsheng only glanced at each other like this, and they both had a feeling that they were the same kind of people!

Li Rizhi thought almost instantly: "It seems that this time it won't be in vain, if this person is Cui Dongsheng, then there is a chance that he will protect me!" ”

And Cui Dongsheng was also thinking: "If this person is Li Rizhi, then perhaps, his uncle Zheng Gangling, is not bragging!" ”

Li Rizhi immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said, "Student Li Rizhi has seen Mr., I don't know what Mr. is called, what is the order!" ”

Cui Dongsheng said with a smile: "You are Li Rizhi, very good, the old man's surname is Cui, you came to see the old man this time, I heard your uncle say that you are a talent, and the old man can't wait to see you." Well, it's really a good son, it must be your Li family's Qianli horse! ”

"It turned out to be Cui Tingshi, the student has seen Cui Tingshi, the student was rude just now, and I ask Cui Tingshi to understand!" As he spoke, Li Rizhi arched his hands high, and then bent down to salute, which can be called a bow to the ground!

His posture of saluting, if it is placed in Zheng Gangling's place, Zheng Gangling will feel too exaggerated, and it will be a little contrived, but in Cui Dongsheng's place, Cui Dongsheng will feel that it is just right, Li Rizhi is a good young man, he understands etiquette, and now that the world is declining, there are fewer and fewer young people like Li Rizhi who know etiquette!

Cui Dongsheng said with a smile: "Okay, very good, you don't need to call the old man's official name, your uncle is good friends with me, and he is a colleague, so the old man will trust you to be a good nephew." Come, nephew Li Xian, let's talk in the study. ”

Li Rizhi hurriedly called Cui Shibo, followed Cui Dongsheng, and entered the Assassin's Mansion together.

The servants in the mansion were all surprised, who is this Li Rizhi, who is his uncle, the person who can make Lord Thorn Shi value him so much, his uncle should be amazing, right?

Cui Dongsheng didn't say who Li Rizhi's uncle was, so the servants couldn't help but start guessing, and they even guessed that Li Rizhi was the descendant of a certain prime minister in Chang'an.

Li Rizhi followed behind Cui Dongsheng and thought: "The dignified assassin must be very busy, and I am just a junior who has never met him, he can't meet him as soon as I ask for a meeting, and he will personally welcome him, there is no need for this at all, he mentioned my uncle again, then there is only one possibility, he has read his uncle's file, and besides, he must have a case here that cannot be solved!" ”

quickly came to a conclusion, Li Rizhi put his mind at ease, solving the case is nothing more than looking for clues, and then making inferences, the big deal is that he can't solve the case, but if the case is solved, then he will be able to get the guarantee from Cui Tingshi, this is the key!

Cui Dongsheng brought Li Rizhi into the study and talked to Li Rizhi in the study, which obviously valued him very much, and regarded him as his own, otherwise he would have talked to him in the living room.

Entering the study, Cui Dongsheng asked Li Rizhi to sit and said with a smile: "Are you a disciple of Guo Shanchang?" Guo Shanchang has a good relationship with the old man, you are his disciple, you must be a good reader! ”

Li Rizhi hurriedly took out Guo Youji's letter, Cui Dongsheng took the letter and read it, he read the letter very carefully, and then smiled: "Your teacher values you very much, and wants the old man to recommend you to take the exam in Chang'an, which is not impossible, but your uncle and your teacher praise you for your ability and good reading, what about yourself, do you think so?" ”

Li Rizhi thought about it slightly, this is the time to pause slightly, he has already done his homework between coming, people like Cui Dongsheng from a famous family, they like polite people, but in terms of doing things, they like people who are decisive and slightly ostentatious, on the contrary, the more submissive people are, the more they will arouse his disgust, and a little ostentatious will be considered vibrant!

In response to this kind of psychology, Li Rizhi can't be too modest at this time, saying that some of his own things are not good, they are all the wrong love of elders and teachers, these are all nonsense, if a bunch of them come out, it is estimated that there will be no smile on Cui Dongsheng's face.

Li Ri knew: "Back to Cui Shibo's words, the little nephew can read well, as for the ability, it depends on the ability of Cui Shibo you refer to, if it is the criminal law of this dynasty, then the little nephew is still proficient in one or two!" ”

Cui Dongsheng laughed and said, "It's not modest, but why be modest!" ”

After a pause, Cui Dongsheng said again: "The old man came to test you, say whatever you think, don't talk nonsense, but don't hide it, because the old man is testing your ability, it makes no sense for you to say nonsense, and if you don't say it, it will be bad for you, so you can grasp this degree yourself!" ”

Since Li Rizhi came to ask Cui Dongsheng to protect him, then Cui Dongsheng naturally wants to test him, otherwise why should he protect Li Rizhi, in case Li Rizhi is a good person, then when he arrives in Chang'an, it will be just a matter of failing to pass the Jinshi exam, in case he is found to be a straw bag, it is not only Li Rizhi himself who is ashamed, Cui Dongsheng will also be implicated, Cui Piercing is not known in history, he is a fool!

Cui Dongsheng looked at Li Rizhi and said, "Then tell me, what is the old man thinking in his heart now?" ”

Li Rizhi snorted, a little embarrassed, smiled and didn't speak immediately.

Cui Dongsheng also smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, say whatever you want, now I'm testing you, if this is in the examination room, you think the question is too difficult, is it possible that you still don't answer the paper, even if you are hard-headed, you have to answer the question!" ”

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "Thank you for Cui Shibo's teachings." Cui Shibo is thinking in his heart now, well, he is thinking that this kid looks pretty good, he should be able to help me solve this case! ”

Cui Dongsheng sizzled, looked at Li Rizhi with wide eyes, and thought, "This little guy, is it possible that he can read minds?" Why did I think he was guessing right? ”

Cui Dongsheng said: "How can you see it, why did the old man think of the case? You just say what you think, the old man wants to know why, did you deduce it, how did you deduce it, what is the basis, tell me? ”
