"The dragon is returning to the sea, and the dragon is about to soar?"

When Wang Fulin found a loophole and sent Ye Qi, the servant of the Ye family who had mixed into the tribute courtyard, to take advantage of the night to get back the copy of Du Maode that had been posted, and then through various regular permutations and combinations of the beginning and end of each column, he finally found these eight words on a certain answer sheet, he suddenly threw the mission of the prison officer out of the clouds, and replaced it with an interest in this newly discovered clue. If this person deliberately answered such a strategy, the reason why Du Maode came to participate in the township test this time is somewhat intriguing.

The examiner has to read so many volumes in total, it is absolutely impossible to see the mystery of Du Maode, and the number of words in each policy is not enough, so he will definitely be dealt with by the post. Do you expect others to see the metaphor? Or is it that the post was originally expected, or even waiting for the post to be shown to others?

Since he couldn't figure it out for a while, Wang Fulin originally planned to send Ye Qi to re-paste the scroll, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little tempted, so he instructed Ye Qi to paste the scroll back and induce Qiu Sihai to re-notice the scroll. Sure enough, as he expected, when Ye Qi mentioned through several people that the volume posted was quite literary, Qiu Sihai also took the opportunity to go and watch, but lingered under Du Maode's volume for a long time. He had every reason to believe that the other party must have studied the scroll and probably found clues.

After all, the eight characters hidden in the head are very easy to find, but the premise is that you have to be free, you have to read carefully, the time-tight and task-heavy examiner has no time to read it, not to mention that this paper has no chance to be sent to the inner curtain officer! In this way, Qiu Sihai's guy still knows how to read?

Since he was haunted by such a thing, in the next few days, he did not try his best to meddle in the list and ranking of the people admitted to the township examination like other external officials. It's a good swim, and he doesn't interfere at all. However, he didn't take care of things, but others didn't dare to completely leave him alone, the only patrol who could be inside and outside.

After all, he can be regarded as the representative of Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang.

Only Wang Fulin himself knows that this township test. Ling Yunyi didn't tell him to interfere with the results of the exam at all, but only specifically instructed the word justice. He wasn't sure if the other party really thought so, or just behaved, the real entrustment was to tell others, so he didn't bother to think about it so much, everything was just in his heart.

On this day, when the chief and deputy examiners and several fellow examiners invited him to supervise the ranking, he went straight over. But this time, I found that I was arguing with others as an arbitrator. He couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have come to this trip, so he simply took the scrolls of those who were about to become lifters and read them one by one, although it was a quick browsing, but he also had to admit that at least the level of the top people was really good, better than he was now!

And the same examiners are still arguing, the candidates at the end of the main list and the deputy list are arguing, and the preparation of the papers is not enough, whether to search all the papers. The five classics of the five classics of the room have to fight, and who is the township test solution yuan among the five classics is even more red-faced. Even if it is until the main list is basically set. When it came time to open the seal and start filling in the last five lists, there was still a lot of arguing.

"Xu Zhaokui has the best writing in my room, and his style is even more stable!"

"Steady is lifeless, naturally this Deng Zongling's scriptures are the crown!"

"Who said that? The article of Wang Xuezeng, a native of the South China Sea, is awe-inspiring. It is the demeanor of a famous minister! ”

"Everyone, let's save it. Zheng Wei, of course. This person is a Panyu celebrity, if it can't be spread out for Xie Yuan, I see if you will be poked in the backbone and scolded for taking the scholar and non-human! ”

Wang Fulin wanted to sigh, especially when the principal and deputy examiners looked noncommittal. And when the examiner of the Five Classics Room turned his head to look at him, he was even more reluctant to mix in when he was asked to decide who the top five belonged. To say that these top five are all good people, but how important is the throne for scholars? Maybe some people will be able to reach the first place next year, that is, they will be almost equal to him, and they will even enter the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, isn't he offending people for no reason? Therefore, he shirked it without even thinking about it.

"You are the inner curtain officials who read the papers, according to the rules, before the seal is opened, isn't the ranking already decided? In this case, how to fill in and how to fill in. As long as it doesn't go against your heart and follows the quality of the article, that's fine. If you really can't make a decision, please ask the two chairmen and deputy examiners to review and approve as appropriate. ”

Several fellow examiners were also acting like each other, but seeing that Wang Fulin seemed to be real, they looked at each other. Most of them were hired by the two political envoys of the political secretary and the former Shi Xun, and according to the inspector Yuanyuan, he only invited a deputy chief examiner impartially, so they were very worried about Wang Fulin's picky bones, especially after hearing about the reputation of this person who did not rub sand in his eyes after arriving in Guangdong. Therefore, in this evaluation, even if the Chief Secretary of the State Council instructed them, they only dared to put the ranking of those who were entrusted to the back, and deliberately set aside the top five.

They wanted Wang Fulin to make decisions on behalf of Ling Yunyi, but they didn't expect Wang Fulin to really care about anything!

Until this time, the chief examiner, Liu Mingxue, a professor of Ji'an Mansion in Jiangxi, had to cough heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "Since Wang Xun said so, according to what was discussed before, this volume of Xu Wei, a native of Panyu, should be the first name Xie Yuan!" ”

The first place is decided, and the next ranking is naturally easy to decide. At this moment, Wang Fulin really realized that the so-called strict rules and regulations cannot be completely strictly implemented in reality. Legend has it that it is the last to fill in the list before the seal is opened, but this rule is completely different from the truth. Not to mention that most of the Son of Heaven is superstitious during the palace examination, sometimes when he sees a good name, he will give people a good ranking, and when he sees a name that does not suit his heart, he will move people back, that is, these examiners in the township examination, if they really don't know who is who, only based on the transcription of the Zhu scroll, what if the person who is taken care of by the top is dethroned?

Not to mention, the question of the top 10 position is very reasonable.

After filling in the main list, when the promotion officer Han Shouyue filled in the deputy list, the two lists were completely complete, and they were escorted out to post them, and the township test finally came to an end, and Wang Fulin felt that the whole person was alive. At this time, Zhou Congwen, who had been struggling in the Gongyuan for more than ten days, was finally able to leave and go home, compared with the refreshed spirit when he came in, although he was not in shape when he left. But it had to be helped out by the two of them, even so, when the Zhou family came to pick him up, they still cried with joy for the rest of his life. And when Wang Fulin came out of the tribute courtyard, he deliberately glanced at the scrolls on the walls on both sides.

On this good day of the list, how many people will pay attention to the losers whose papers are posted?

The same hurried out of the Tribute Temple. But there is also Qiu Sihai. He didn't notice the extra tail behind him at all, because in those days in the Gongyuan, he had tried several of the servants summoned by Wang Fulin one by one, except for Chu Fu, the lucky one, the rest were just called to order something. And until Wang Fulin left the Tribute Academy, he had never seen him again at all, as if he had completely forgotten him as a person, which also convinced him that he had been fooled before. At this moment, I have already heard a little bit of Zhou Congwen's tone. At the same time, he saw from Du Maode's scroll that he was full of joy, and rushed out of the city to Du's house in a hurry.

Originally, as long as the imperial court really had the intention to appease him, it didn't matter whether Du Maode agreed or not. But the imperial court changed its orders and turned its face ruthlessly, which is all too common. There is a talent and fame, and there are strategists who are more familiar with officialdom, and people up and down can sit back and relax! What's more, the family is up to the big guy Lin Afeng. Down to the ordinary little minions, they were very convinced of this at the beginning.

It's daylight at this moment. Because this year's weather is beautiful, it is the harvest season, and most of the people in the village have gone to the fields to work, and there is no one in them. But Qiu Sihai found that something was wrong as he walked. Even if the villagers are not there, he uses both soft and hard means to buy off a family and place it here in the name of debt collection. In fact, what about the seven or eight people who guarded the Du family's mother and son? Even if you can't all come out and hang out, you can't see everyone, right?

When he came to the door of Du's house and pushed hard, but the door did not move, the uneasy feeling in his heart reached its peak. Ponder over. He did not rush into the Du family, but returned to the house that he had bought before, cautiously stepped around, and found that no one was watching, so he went to knock on the door. I don't know, I was startled when I asked, and when the other party told everything he knew, he couldn't help frowning.

In fact, a few days before Du Maode returned from the township examination room, his wife Hong's family sent a report that his father was seriously ill, and Hong and his son began to sell their belongings, claiming that they wanted to raise funds to return to their hometown to visit the doctor. However, just after the three township tests, the night after Du Maode came back, Qiu Sihai put it in this house, claiming to be looking for Du Maode to collect debts, and the people who went out in the middle of the night and never came back, the owner of this household went to Du's house to explore, and then found that the Du family of three also disappeared quietly!

For this kind of progress, Qiu Sihai thought of his few subordinates who had disappeared, and his first reaction was that Du Maode played a trick to kill him - don't look at it as just a showman, but just based on the previous design of this person when he was a military advisor on his top boss Lin Afeng, he had no doubt that the other party could do this kind of seemingly extremely difficult thing. In his opinion, if it weren't for Du Maode's resolute opposition to Lin Afeng's fight against Luzon, he would simply take the time to run away after the thing didn't work out, maybe Lin Afeng wouldn't have spent so much effort in Luzon but lost his troops, and had to quietly return to Guangdong and Fujian in order to restore his strength and regroup.

Do you want to go to Du's house again?

Although Qiu Sihai knew that his most correct reaction at the moment was to leave immediately, only one of the two things that came out was a little eyebrow-raising, and the other was so bad that he couldn't smash it anymore, he was still unwilling. Seeing that the owner of the household hurriedly closed the door after explaining, as if he was afraid that he would pursue it, he thought about it in his heart for a while, and finally decided to go to Du's house to find out. However, when he climbed over the wall into the courtyard, pushed open the door and entered the main room, which was dim and empty in broad daylight, he heard only a few soft pops. He instinctively reacted and fell to the ground as a tumbling, but unlike the expected sharp arrows or hidden weapons, with that sound, several candles in the room suddenly lit up, as if an invisible hand was manipulating the lights!

It was this slight stunned, he only felt that a bag of things that he didn't know suddenly fell on his head and face, and this surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and held his breath at the same time. But it was such a delay, and when the wind hit the back of his head, he could only barely turn his head to avoid the vital point, but he still took a heavy hit. He only had time to hear a sneer, and then he lost consciousness.

At noon the next day, standing at the door of the main room in the backyard of Xiaobei's house that was temporarily used as a prison cell, through the crack in the door, Wang Fulin saw only a pair of shorts left on his body, and Qiu Sihai and his seven or eight subordinates who were thrown on the ground with their eyes blindfolded and gagged. ”

"Didn't you say let Xiuzhu test it? I'll send her. As soon as she heard that it was related to pirates, she was full of energy as if she had been beaten with chicken blood. She and Bizhu went to Natong Village together, and the two pretended to be sisters, and it was easy to find out that someone lived in a family in the village, and seven or eight people were collecting debts from the Du family. The two of them were shrewd, and they actually got close to a family in the village, and all the circumstances were clear. Since I know that those are not good goods, and you are in the Tribute Courtyard, of course I can only pick up the Du family's mother and son as soon as possible, but I didn't expect Du Xiucai to go back as soon as he left the Tribute Courtyard. ”

Just like Qiu Sihai was trapped in the tribute courtyard and had no contact with the outside world, so there was no way to know the changes in the Du family, Wang Fulin left the tribute courtyard six days later than those who left the show, and then he was picked up by Yan Yuan to ask about Zhou Congwen's condition, and then he was entangled by the Zhou family for a long time, and only returned to the courtyard that night, only to get the news that the three members of the Du family had been picked up. When it was easy to meet Xiaobei today, he found that his too capable wife not only got the three members of the Du family out, but also relied on arranging for the three members of the Du family to leave as bait, and lured out a few pirates in Datong Village through that car.

"Of course I don't blame you, if you move slowly, maybe Du Maode will be coerced away by them, and if Qiu Sihai is left alone, if he runs away, Senior Brother Lu and their problems will be big." Wang Fulin said this in his mouth, but he was quickly thinking about how to deal with this matter in the future. After all, Lu Guangwu, Zheng Mingxian and others have not heard from them so far.

"That's it. However, Du Maode also said that the people who came were Qiu Sihai's henchmen, and in order to intercept him that night, everyone should have arrived. I also confirmed in Datong Village that no strangers stayed. ”

"Hmm...... Speaking of Dumoud, such a smart person, he didn't ask you what these people were trying to save him? Although there is Xu Sheng's letter, he is afraid that he may not even know who Xu Sheng is. ”

"You're wrong. Dumoud had already guessed it. Seeing Wang Fulin's face full of surprise, Xiaobei smiled slightly, "I have just followed a good owner in the officialdom, and I am willing to run so much for the safety of his family, except for the Guangdong Inspector Wang Ye, who has just arrived at the Pan family of the Guangfu giant room to administer justice and clear the stigma of the newly hired staff member Xu Xiucai, who else will there be?" ”

Ahem cough cough –

Wang Fulin was choked by this unexpected answer, but it was because of Xiaobei's statement, if he really wanted to say that it was unexpected, he didn't think it. If he couldn't even see something so obvious, how could Dumod gain a foothold among those pirates in the first place?

PS: Anyway, if I hadn't re-watched Jiuzhong Purple and unintentionally opened the author's area, I wouldn't have found that Squeak quietly opened a new book "Mu Nanzhi", which is hereby widely announced (to be continued.) )
