Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Crowd Seeks Him Thousands of Times
Liu Xianda raised his eyebrows and pondered for a long time.
"Say whatever you have." Yang Liwu shook his legs, "Xianda, as long as you tell the truth, I, Yang Liwu, can accept it." ”
"What does Brother Yang think?" Liu Xianda asked rhetorically.
"Hahaha...... Xianda is still good at charades. Yang Liwu burst out laughing, "Okay, I'll say it first." I think that Liu Ming is a person who is extremely sophisticated. Let's just say that he was quite bold in the scene at the marriage banquet. I like such people. But what about ...... When I got in touch with him, I always felt a little uncertain. This young man seems to be very deeply hidden...... Such a person, if he can be used by me, must be good. If you stab you in the back......" Yang Liwu showed a hint of concern, "that won't be good." ”
He stood up and paced back and forth, "So, I want to ask you to help me analyze it." To stay or not to keep this person? ”
"You're going to do it?" Liu Xianda asked rhetorically.
"If there is trouble, it will not stay."
Yang Liwu said it easily and naturally, it didn't seem like he was discussing Liu Ming's life, but like a trivial matter of eating and drinking tea.
Years of habit make Yang Liwu not easily trust anyone. He needs a helper, but only if the helper is reliable.
Liu Ming would not have thought that in this cell, the value of his life would be weighed repeatedly.
Liu Xianda's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "Liu Ming'er, although he is hateful, he is also a utilitarian. He only needs fame and fortune, if Brother Yang can keep his fame and fortune, I believe that he will not do anything. Didn't you put me in jail so that his father could take the throne? ”
"That makes sense." Yang Liwu said, "If you Xianda also evaluates it like this, I will rest assured." I, Yang, love utilitarian people the most, because they will not betray interests. As for money and fame, I can protect him. No matter how bad my Yang is, in this Fei County, I have also done the master. ”
"Xianda...... Yang Liwu smiled, "Don't be too jealous of him." The big waves are sweeping the sand, and one generation is stronger than the next. Such a person, if he becomes my friend of Liwu, will naturally be your friend. When you get out of prison, I'll help you ease up. Alright, leave the sentencing matter to me. I have official business, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. Leave it at that. ”
"Master Yang, are you leaving? The small ones will be delivered to you. The fat-faced jailer stepped forward with a smile.
After Liu Xianda waited until Yang Liwu left, he whispered to himself against the yellowed prison wall: "Ming'er, uncle, I can only help you get to this point, and the rest of the way is up to you." ”
……
A few blue lights flashed, and the dark clouds condensed over Fei County, and then, the showers poured down.
At that time, the sky was shrouded in darkness in the afternoon, and after a while, the rain became more sudden, and the plantain in the courtyard was beaten and "fluttered".
Liu Ming rested his hands on his head, leaned on the couch, looked at the rain curtain outside the window, and showed a bored expression on his face from time to time.
At present, his father has served as the chief treasurer in the house, and everything has been decided, and it stands to reason that his big family life chapter can enter the stage of eating, drinking and having fun.
However, there was another incident in the Peace Hall.
This peace hall is like an abscess on his back, which makes Liu Ming uncomfortable. Emperor Taizu said, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? What is hidden in the courtyard of the deep house? Liu Ming didn't bother to check it now. Because, no matter what is found, he will not escape the blame of Liufu.
That Yang Liwu is a good chess player.
Liu Ming scratched his scalp, a little crazy.
Fortunately, as a member of Mensa, his IQ is also much better than ordinary people, and it is effortless to read the subset of the Academy's scriptures and histories. After entering this world, he helped his father pay off his debts, took care of Renjitang, opened mountains and roads, and quit marriage.
This hurdle, can't you get over?
Liu Ming, you're not stupid at all, but you just need a hint.
He turned over on the couch, raised his hand, and inadvertently knocked over the food box on the cabinet next to him.
In an uproar, several food boxes were knocked over to the ground, and some leftovers were all spilled.
These food boxes were brought to Liu Xianda by a prison visit.
Liu Ming shook his head and leaned down to clean up, but his eyes were fixed on an open food box with a roll of greasy cloth inside.
The edges of the strip of cloth were very uneven, as if they had been torn from the sleeves of the shirt.
This food box was brought over to the uncle by himself, and now all of a sudden, there is such a roll of cloth.
Liu Ming's brows moved slightly, he remembered that before leaving, Liu Xianda pointed to a food box and said that he liked the dishes inside. These words were said in a slightly strange way at the time, and I walked in a hurry and did not think about it carefully.
Isn't it, this strip of cloth was left by the uncle for himself, what is it inconvenient to say in person, and use the strip of cloth to pass on?
He immediately opened the strip of cloth and saw a few words scrawled on it in green bricks.
"Peace Hall...... Ho Zhi County...... Bureaucratic officials. Liu Ming muttered to himself, on this strip of cloth, there are just three words, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, showing that it was written in a hurry.
Liu Ming rolled up the strip of cloth, put it in his sleeve, closed his eyes and pondered.
The meaning of the strip of cloth could not be clearer, how to solve the problem of Ping An Hall? Find He Zhixian, expose Yang Liwu's crimes, and use officials to control officials.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and looked back at dusk, and the method was at the cloth strip of the food box.
In retrospect, Liu Ming speculated that it was about Liu Xianda who saw the old lady's deed, and felt remorseful in his heart, so he wrote this line temporarily. He knew that sooner or later he would face this problem.
Liu Ming still had some comfort in his heart, and at the last moment, his uncle still thought of his flesh and blood and gave him a hint. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. In the final key choice, the uncle still defeated hatred with family affection.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, continuing to think. Indeed, using the official system is the only way to suppress Yang Liwu at present. However, how to get close to the county magistrate is also a problem.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming recalled the news he heard a few days ago, saying that He Zhi County issued a proclamation saying that the county government had a lot of miscellaneous affairs and wanted to hire a secretary to take charge of the clerical position.
This book office, often walking in the county office, has a lot of intersection with the county, but it is a way to quickly get closer to the feelings.
Liu Ming knew that if he took the initiative to ask Yang Liwu for this matter, it would inevitably arouse his dissent. I must find an opportunity to "meet" with He Zhixian, so that the other party can appreciate his talent, and then shirk his enthusiasm before joining the county government to help. In this way, it seems more natural.
At the end of this month, it will be the end of the test. I have been studying in the academy for so long, and if I can pass the exam, the position of the county government secretary will be my own.
Although the secretary office is a small official, but in an official office like Fei County, the position of the secretary office can be regarded as an iron rice bowl for drought and flood protection, and there are inevitably many related households. How to win the favor of the magistrate among all living beings, it is not enough to have the identity of a scholar, but also to show some real talent.
Passing the test and gaining a reputation is an important step in the plan.
Although there were talents in the Song Dynasty, they did not have the same gold content as in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, just to take the test for a show, you have to pass the three levels of the small Sanyuan County Government, and you have to take off the skin in order to get the name of the show. In the Song Dynasty, anyone who was able to participate in the examination was called Xiucai. Therefore, the gold content of this talent was greatly reduced, and in the end, it became a generic term for readers.
Among the millions of scholars in this general, if you want to get out of the way, you must at least pass the exam, take the exam, and have the qualifications to be an official, and the magistrate will look at you differently.
At this time, the plan in my heart has been formed. Liu Ming's expression couldn't help but relax.
He is the best at exams. has a good memory, and he almost never forgets it, which is Liu Ming's only comfort in his previous life. In the previous life, I was alone and hanging, so I was so bored that I ran to the Mensah Club to test my IQ, but I didn't expect it to be recognized.
As a graduate of a key university, he had a smooth ride in his exams all the way. Although the results are good, speaking of which, it is still a bit more literal. He is very familiar with the four famous novels, Dream of Red Mansions, Jin Pinmei, meat and vegetarian, and those that can be seen and forbidden to watch. I have been in this academy for more than half a year, except for when I first started to learn to write calligraphy, it took a little effort, and I went to the back to learn the subset of scriptures and history, basically there was no big problem.
Speaking of fame, Liu Ming also found that the status of this ancient merchant was really pitiful. If you are Shen Wansan, if you say that it will be confiscated, it will be confiscated immediately. It seems that guarding one acre and three points of land and living in peace with your family without a strong barrier will also seem impractical.
Without an official body, he is like duckweed in the wind, and he can only be slaughtered by others.
The solution is imminent, and Liu Ming decided to focus all his energy on Qiuqiu during this time. He couldn't help but think: In this test of thousands of empty alleys, how will he perform?
