Hearing Shui Sheng say all this, Wu Jie took a breath of cold air. He glanced down at this kid again, he knew that this guy had a fierce personality on the way to Nanjing, but he didn't expect that he was so murderous, and he slaughtered more than 20 people in one go, he was really a man who dared to act.

Speaking of which, this aquatic student has a bit of the demeanor of a hero in "Water Margin".

Wu Jie has read this book since he was a child, and he once admired Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others in the book, and now there is such a character standing in front of him, and he doesn't feel a little like it in his heart.

This person has a chivalrous heart, and he is also strong in martial arts. In addition, he came to Jiangnan this time to supervise the use of soldiers against the Japanese, and the battlefield must be on the battlefield, and there are two masters by his side, and his personal safety is also guaranteed. Moreover, this aquatic is a local snake, and he is also familiar with the water and land wharves in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

I owe him such a big favor, so I naturally have to be supportive.

Wu Jie didn't dare to imagine how he would live his life in the future if he lost the moth.

He looked at Moth with a smile: "Moth, I already know the matter, isn't it just to kill a few people, and when things fade down in a few years, it may not be impossible to eliminate the aquatic case." It's just that Shui Sheng is burdened with a bloody case, but he has to be well maintained, you owe Shui Sheng a favor, what do you say about this? ”

Shui Sheng immediately interjected: "Master, what is the identity of Madame, Shui Sheng is a pranky person, how dare you say kindness in front of Madame." ”

Moth smiled: "Shuisheng, since you call me sister-in-law, then I recognize your brother." And don't worry, the master also has to hire people around him, so just stay. As long as we are in the Wu family, no one dares to touch you. ”

After that, he looked at Wu Jie and said, "Master, even the third child was by your side before. Now, Qiang'er is so tightly entangled with the old that he can't serve you, so it's better to let him run an errand or something for you, and be a long-term follower. ”

When Mozi thought of Lian Laosan, he was angry and funny. This old man looks so vulgar, but when he sees Qiang'er, he becomes a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who is more concerned about the child than her, and refuses to leave the child's side for a moment. Until now, there is no intimate person around the master, but the master is a person who likes to move around, and he needs a strong and loyal guard to follow him.

Wu Node nodded: "Okay, that's it, you will stay by my side." You have carried such a big case for your wife, and this official can't let you end well no matter what. By the way, I don't have a lot of people in my family, so let's ask your family to move over with you. ”

As soon as the aquatic eyes were hot, tears flowed.

"Plop!" knelt in front of Wu Jie and kept kowtowing: "The lord is so gracious, if there is a place for the villain in the future, just say it, go in the water, go in the fire." ”

Wu Jie laughed, and his right hand was weak: "It's night, go down." Moth, let Shui Sheng write a letter to take home, and then bring his family over, so that the governor's palace of Zhejiang will not be unfavorable to them. ”

When the moth was about to take the water to give birth, Wu Jie suddenly remembered something and asked, "Moth, you can see your father and brother." Also, you got into the sedan chair before, why did you come back later than him? ”

It's okay that he didn't ask, but when he asked, the moth's eyes were a little wet: "Master, after the moth escaped, he should have come straight back." But because I was worried about ~~-update~~ my father and brother, I simply went over to take a look. But I don't want to...... The place where the concubine used to live has long since changed, but her father and brother are gone. When asked, the neighbor said that they had been missing for more than a year, and said that they were going out to beg for a living, but they came up empty. ”

Wu Jie sighed: "Let's look for it later, and I'll send someone to pay attention to this matter after I come down." ”

That night, Moth sent someone to bring Shuisheng's mother, sister-in-law, and nephew into the house. …,

There were a few more people in the family at once, as well as two children, and it suddenly became lively.

On the second day, Wu Jie was woken up early by the sound of two children playing, got up with a smile, washed his face, and sat in the study to read. Shui Sheng tiptoed over with a cup of tea: "Master, the children are too noisy, do you want to drive them away?" ”

"No, so be it."

After a while, Shui Sheng came over again and asked, "Master, do you need to change the tea, and when will you use it for breakfast?" He picked up the cotton towel again and clumsily wiped it everywhere.

Wu Jie looked funny: "That's it, Shui Sheng, I use your loyalty and martial arts, this kind of waiter is not suitable for you." In the future, this kind of tea and water delivery will be done by others, just order it casually. ”

Shui Sheng was a little shy: "These jobs are not done by Lao Lian. ”

Wu Jie: "Even the third child is calm and careful, you are different from him." ”

"What the hell is the villain supposed to do?" Aquatic was a little anxious.

Wu Jie: "Wait, wait a minute, I guess I'm going to go out, you just go with me." He glanced at Shui Sheng again: "You have a case on your back, and the governor's yamen is looking for you all over the city, do you dare to go out with me?" ”

Shuisheng: "Where are you afraid?" ”

Wu Jie: "Very good, not everyone around me can catch them, and neither can Luo Longwen." He can find someone to prove that you are at the scene of the murder, and I can also find someone to prove that you stayed with me last night, just go out with me boldly, and don't be afraid of people. ”

Aquatic Daxi: "With a word from the big man, the villain is naturally not afraid." Sir, are you going to go out later, where are you going? ”

While he was talking, an attendant came to report that the king had come to invite the lord to meet and talk to the local gentry.

Wu Jie: "Okay, please wait a while, and the official will go out with him." ”

changed into a new auspicious suit, and went out with the aquatic sheng in a red manner.

Wang Wu had already arrived, and people were waiting outside, and the two chief examiners and a group of magistrates and external curtain officials went to meet the guests in a majestic manner.

When has Shui Sheng seen so many big masters, he only feels that his eyes are dazzling.

He is also sharp-eyed, so he can naturally find that there are many spies following from afar, and he probably also found himself, but he didn't dare to get closer.

Shui Sheng was proud in his heart: What about killing someone, Lao Tzu is now with a nobleman, who dares to come to me uncomfortable?

I couldn't help but puff up my chest and look at the spies with a fierce gaze.

Next, Wu Jie inevitably dined and talked with many strange gentry under the mediation of the royal house. It has entered the height of summer, the weather is very hot, and everyone is sweating hot after a noon. The tonic on the chest of the officials was also drenched with water, like a chicken in soup.

The temperature in Nanjing is not much different from that in Beijing, but because it is close to the Yangtze River, it is very hot and stuffy, and it is a famous furnace.

Although Wu Jie's current hometown is Nanjing, he was a northerner in his previous life, and he suddenly felt unbearable. The sweat never stopped, and it was as if it had been fished out of the sauerkraut jar, which was rancid and smelly.

Fortunately, lunch was eaten in the courtyard of an imperial merchant in the Nanjing Weaving Bureau, and the house was also filled with ice cubes, which made people feel refreshed.

This meal finally tasted something, but the gentry talked too much, first went up to report to their homes, said some words of admiration, and then talked about some boundless words.

Wu Jie was most annoyed by this kind of socializing, and there was no sentence to say, but the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Those who are here today are all the leading figures in the eight counties and one government of Nanjing. Many of these people had only heard their names before, but they were not something he could see at all. Now seeing so many people in front of their own lord, they are terrified, for fear of saying the wrong thing, Shui Sheng is even more proud in his heart, and secretly said: The prime minister's family is a seven-grade official, if the master becomes a big official in the future, I Shui Sheng doesn't know what kind of scenery it is. …,

Coincidentally, Huang Dong's father also came today. Originally, he was not qualified to come here with his identity, but he didn't expect to receive an invitation from the Tribute Academy, and he was at the same time with so many people with status, and his body suddenly floated with joy.

Wu Jie was so hot that he only felt a little dazed, and after lunch, he said that he was sleepy, and he was not socializing.

All the gentry stood up and stepped forward to say goodbye, Wu Jie drank more wine, his head was dizzy, and he didn't know who was pulling and pulling at him, as if he was stuffing something into his sleeve.

After eating and going home, I slept for a while, and when I got up, I changed my clothes, but I dropped a bunch of money tickets, most of which were three hundred and five hundred taels, and at least one hundred taels, and it is estimated that everyone has expressed it.

In retrospect, there were not thirty but fifty people attending the banquet today.

Wu Jie took a breath of cold air: These days, it is really soft to collect money, no wonder everyone is vying to go down to the place to be an examiner.

In the next few days, there was still a mess of invitations to eat, and many gentry still surrounded themselves and said something that did not matter.

At this time, Wu Jie realized that these people were here to probe their own mouth, to see if they could find the way to the problem from their mouths and get through some joints.

According to the rules, the main exam is to produce four books and three questions, and the deputy chief examiner has five questions in the five classics. The general eight-share system, the talents are basically familiar with it, and the key is to divide the "cut" and "trial poems" from the top to the bottom.

What does "cut-and-match" mean? It is to take half a sentence of a chapter of the four books, and then take the other half of a chapter, connect the two sentences, and make up a strange and rare sentence. "Trial poem" is to take a sentence in the poetry of the ancients, rhyme with a certain flat word in the sentence, and make a five-character and eight-rhyme poem, which is also in the form of eight strands.

The poem is well, and it is also a factor that is easy to pass the exam, Wu Jie is a master of the poetry world, and he is not very interested in Baguwen, but he wants to see if he can choose a few useful volumes in the trial poem.

Speaking of which, I have been busy for many days, how to publish the topic, what the book is, Wu Jie and Wang Wu have not discussed it yet.

It is also strange to say that every time Wu Jie meets with the gentry, Huang Dong's father attends
