Zheng Guang finally figured out everything, Xu Zhi saw Zheng Guang's expression, and knew that the matter was almost done, so he took out a stack of papers from his arms, rummaged through them a few times, found one of them, walked to Xiang Qing, and handed the paper to Xiang Qing: "Xiang Xiao Xianggong, this is the IOU that Ling Zun Lingtang made when he borrowed money from Xu Fu, since this is a misunderstanding, and those bastards have been punished in the next place, then, can Xiang Xiao Xianggong reveal this page here, let's treat it as if it never happened, okay?" ”

Xiang Qing took the paper stupidly, glanced at it, and set his eyes on Zheng Guang, but he didn't notice that Zheng Guang looked at the paper, as well as the stack of papers that were taken back into Xu Zhi's arms, and didn't notice that Zheng Guang's fist, which was covered by the long cuffs, was clenched together, leaned less, let go suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face, and said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, I really didn't expect it, Shizun and Xu Shilang are friends, if this matter is known by Shizun, it will definitely be crying and laughing." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When Zhang Sicheng heard this, his face was different, Xu Zhi's complexion changed slightly, and he put on a smile again, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing, let's just know it in private, if my brother and Mr. Jing Chuan know that we made such a joke, I don't know how helpless!" ”

Zheng Guang instantly understood Xu Zhi's thoughts, pursed his lips, and then said with a smile: "That's natural, Brother Xu Shilang has a lot of opportunities, how can you have the leisure to take care of this matter, or don't let them know, so as not to make Xu Shilang and Shizun also make a bad scene, so since this is the case, this matter should not have happened?" ”

The smile on Xu Zhi's face became very bright: "It hasn't happened, nothing has happened, and in the future, it will never happen, if Ziyuan's family still wants to buy new land, you can discuss it with my family, and I will tell my family when I go back, as long as Ziyuan reports my name, it will be half price!" ”

Zheng Guang nodded, and then smiled at Xiang Qing: "Ziyuan, don't thank you for the county and Master Xu, in the future, you can find the county and Master Xu to help you in the affairs of your family, whoever dares to find the stubble in your family, the two of you will definitely stand up for you!" This is not a treatment that everyone can get! ”

Xiang Qing didn't react for a while, but mechanically thanked Zheng Guang's words: "Thank you County, thank you Master Xu." After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that the situation was wrong, but he couldn't say a word, full of doubts and incomprehension, he pressed himself in his heart, looked at Zheng Guang, and saw Zheng Guang talking to the two of them with a spring breeze, and his heart was complicated.

And what is even more surprising is still to come, Zheng Guang not only laughed and talked with Xu Zhi and Zhang Sicheng for a long time, but also discussed the topic of the current science and township examination and how Zheng Guang himself answered, Xu Zhi, who was admitted to the examination, and Zhang Sicheng, who was a jinshi, were amazed by Zheng Guang's articles and ideas, and kept sighing that the future is terrifying, and Zheng Guang, who is a person in the imperial examination, will definitely be able to occupy a place, there is no doubt that Xu Zhi also said that he is looking forward to competing with Zheng Guang in the examination.

After that, Zhang Sicheng pushed off today's official business, warmly invited Zheng Guang and Xu Zhi to lunch, said that he was also born in Jinshi, his favorite is academic discussion, usually entangled in official business, today finally someone visited, he wanted to continue to discuss academic issues with Zheng Guang and Xu Zhi, Zheng Guang happily agreed, and pulled Xiang Qing who had no reaction to the banquet together, at the banquet, Zheng Guang and the two seniors talked about academic issues, although Zhang Sicheng is not a mental scholar, but he has been an official in the southeast for a long time, I also have a certain degree of interest and understanding in psychology, so I talked to the two of them very closely.

After the banquet, Zheng Guang politely said goodbye, Zhang Sicheng and Xu Zhi did not stay, and sent each other to the gate in person, quite a little bit of pity.

"This kid will definitely be able to occupy a place in the court in the future, I really can't imagine that Tang Jingchuan not only passed on all the psychology and academics, but also taught Zheng Guang the skills of machine change as an official, if it wasn't for Zheng Guang to use the machine change technique for the first time this time, I can see a little jerky, I'm afraid even I will be deceived by him." Xu Zhi looked at Zheng Guang's distant back and said in a low voice.

Zhang Sicheng looked at Zheng Guang's back from the side, and said: "Brother Zimin, this time, but I will help you in the future, not only sold Zheng Guang a great favor, but also left some possibilities for the future!" With his article, even if he can try, as long as he plays normally, the second class is not a problem, if there is no strong opponent, and there is even the possibility of impacting the top three tripings, at least the writing is better than I was at the beginning, and it is not a problem to lift people.

At his age, eighteen years old as an official, to my age, is already an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, plus that trick of change, after the tempering of officialdom in the future, after a long time, it will only be more terrifying, twenty years later, he is in the prime of life, and some people have not even finished the children's exam, this world, it is really better to humiliate the pulsatilla, do not bully the young and poor! ”

"Is he poor? Although he was born as a commoner, his luck was too good. Xu Zhi smiled dumbly......

Zhang Sicheng was stunned, and also shook his head and smiled bitterly......

Coming out of the county government, Zheng Guang strode in, Xiang Qing could barely keep up with Zheng Guang's speed, and shouted while trotting: "Senior brother, senior brother, slow down!" Slow down! Slow down......"

Zheng Guang didn't seem to hear anything, the speed under his feet did not decrease, Zheng Guang's physical strength for a long time was naturally above Xiang Qing, Xiang Qing chased after him breathlessly, and only then did he catch up with Zheng Guang in an alley, panting and grabbing Zheng Guang's sleeve, and shouted breathlessly: "Senior brother...... For...... Why did you go so fast...... Ouch...... I'm exhausted...... Ouch...... Ouch ......"

Zheng Guang leaned against the wall on the side of the road, bowed his head and was speechless, Xiang Qing felt strange, there were too many strange and incomprehensible things today, Xiang Qing was eager to know everything: "Senior brother, we are here to report to the official to ask for an explanation, why did you talk to them and eat, do you know how embarrassing it is to eat?" Sitting or standing, I don't know what to do, how can there be such a thing in this world?! ”

Zheng Guang still didn't reply, his head was lowered, Xiang Qing couldn't see Zheng Guang's face, in a hurry, Xiang Qing held Zheng Guang's shoulders with both hands and shook it: "Senior brother!" You talk, you talk! Senior brother, you ......" Xiang Qing's words came to an abrupt end, not for anything else, just for him to see Zheng Guang's eyes that had lost their lustre, as if they were miserable people who had lost everything, very powerless and helpless......

"Senior brother...... You...... What's wrong? Xiang Qing muttered.

Zheng Guang's mouth moved, and finally said out loud: "Ziyuan, I, I always thought that I was talented, I could connect the middle and middle school three yuan, and at the age of seventeen, I could even the middle and middle school three yuan, impact the township test, and complete what the vast majority of scholars can't do, I think I am talented, I get the true transmission of the teacher, and I am also capable, definitely not a rotten Confucian who seems to have a thousand words in his chest, but today I know that there is no power in my hands, there is no background behind me, in Daming, you can't move an inch at all." ”

Xiang Qing was shocked by this statement, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything.

"Today, if I wasn't your senior brother, if I hadn't accompanied you, if my teacher wasn't Mr. Jing Chuan, if Mr. Jing Chuan wasn't Xu Jie's friend, then I wouldn't have received such benefits and compensation like now, why did Xu Zhi suddenly say that he was wrong? Because my teacher is Tang Jingchuan, an important leader of the Xinxuemen, and Xu Jie also happens to be a Xinxuemen, and even has a good friendship with the teacher, the teacher may still be supporting Xu Jie's next level.

Xu Zhi will not allow Xu Jie to lose the support of the teacher, so for me, as the only student of the teacher, I can't be offended, otherwise once I offend me, I will tell the Xu family in front of the teacher about the Xu family's forcible occupation of a large amount of fertile land, and Xu Jie's reputation will be completely ruined in the entire southeast, and he will lose the recognition and support of the entire Xinxue sect, which is a loss that he can't afford, so Xu Zhi chose to compromise.

The reason why Zhang Xianzun will help us is also because of my teacher, and maybe the relationship between the Fuzun and the Fuzun, otherwise with the status of the first deputy heavenly official of the Xu Jie's Ministry of Zuo Shilang, it is still very easy to make him a small stumbling block, and the person who is an official, unless he is really a master, will definitely not put his future into it for an insignificant person, because he does not dare to offend Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's dare not offend my teacher, so Zhang Xianzun does not dare to offend me, and then does not dare to give up on you......

Did you see the thick stack of papers that Xu Zhi took out of his arms? What do you think is that? That IOU in your house was taken out of that, what do you think it would be? It is the IOU of countless poor families who have been robbed of the world by the Xu family, just like yours, each of them is the hope of a family's survival, and then, it was taken away by the Xu family, they don't have a senior brother like me, and they don't have a big backstage like Tang Jingchuan, what will they face?

I can save you, I can save Xiang, but can I save others? Those stacks of paper, those hundreds of households, can I save them? I want to save it, if I can, I want to save it all together, but I can't! I can't! I don't have power! I don't have the ability! Even if I have a teacher, but, but this kind of thing, how can they let it go easily! I can't! ”

Zheng Guang's face suddenly became hideous, and his hands tightly grasped Xiang Qing's shoulders: "Because you are my year and my friend, so I can save you, and only because you are the only one, if there are more, unless my teacher comes forward in person, it is absolutely impossible, but it is equivalent to a complete break with the Xu family, a complete enemy, even if you are a teacher, you have to think twice...... With no power, no background, you have to think twice before doing good deeds, and those who do evil can be unscrupulous......"

Xiang Qing watched Zheng Guang's face change from hideous to lost, and was silent.

"But we are now friends with them, future friends, future allies, and mutual support in the future, so I will never ask what that stack of papers is, I will never ask what agreement Zhang Xianzun and Xu Zhi have reached, I will never ask where those who have been taken away from their land have gone, I will never ask ...... about these."

Zheng Guang let go of his hand, sighed, and walked forward.
