The governor of a province is a provincial scholar and a scholar, a five-grade official, it doesn't seem too big, and there are ...... from the fourth, fourth, and third grades.

Admiral Xuezheng, he has no soldiers under him, and he doesn't care about official hats, so he has no power to listen to it.

Speaking of which, that is, the director of the education department of a province.

It's just that Ding Yi's identity as a scholar, what is the fame of Lai Han's fame that he doesn't dare to do it easily?

Xiucai, according to the algorithm of the national period, about the degree of Xiucai is high. What is Upper Primary? It's the upper grades of elementary school.

This conversion is very clear.

The mastermind behind the scenes, at least the director of education of a province, and he is a primary school student.

And now Ding Yi's old delivery robe is broken, the reputation of the township is ruined, and even the servants have resigned......

Ding felt that one head was two big.

No matter how good your skills are, no matter how high your reasoning level is, and how strong your profiling ability is, in the face of this extreme disparity, it is really nothing.

Could it be that Ding Yi touched the Yamen of the Dao of Tixue and went to find that Huang Xuexian to kill him?

Not to mention whether Ding Yi, who has lost a lot of modern equipment and is very weak, can do this. Even if he did, what good was it?

Because there is a problem that has to be faced:

That is the provincial envoy of the Dao, which is commonly known as Xuexian, what is the point of sending someone to go undercover to Quan Gelding?

This is so ridiculous that the imperial history may hear about it and do not hesitate to overthrow the eunuch at the cost of life and death; The feudal officials may have a conflict of interest with this eunuch, such as some tax supervisors and mine supervisors who were later served by eunuchs, which interfered with the execution of the local government; Further up is the ministry, that is, the bachelor who can be called the prime minister, and it is also possible that he wants to take a certain power eunuch, which is a power conflict between the outer court and the inner court......

For what purpose did he go against the eunuchs? Still used to the dead?

Regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, this is definitely a very nonsensical thing, the director of education of Indiana, USA, it is normal to come to China to visit a certain elementary school if he has nothing to do, he went to the FBI to send a dead room, ready to bring down a senior leader in the FBI? It doesn't make sense.

Ding Yi is very sure that this Master Huang, who mentions the Tao, is definitely not the head behind the scenes!

As for who is setting up this bureau, it is not a matter of Ding Yi's concern now.

Because he didn't have enough information and resources to discuss and analyze the matter, and more importantly, he didn't have the time.

"Young master, it's done." Uncle Zhong walked over and reported to Ding Yiyu, who was pacing slowly in the backyard garden, "But those little ones, before leaving, Young Master Zaijian wanted to be sided, and the old slave rejected them. "Zhongguan no longer has the mentality of taking the test Ding Yi, and no longer comes to ask what to do, but what to do, he will do it directly.

These subordinates want to come to see Ding Yi, but they are nothing more than grateful for money; Or to accuse the old housekeeper and Ruyu of "corruption". As Ding Yi said, there is no time to play this kind of thing to buy people's hearts now, so Uncle Zhong directly rejected these people's requests.

"Which eunuch is it?" Ding Yi asked Uncle Zhong this question headlessly.

But Uncle Zhong replied heartlessly: "God knows? Young master, you come to ask me, but who is the old slave going to ask? ”

The master and servant couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

What is this called?

Uncle Zhong coughed a few times and said to Ding Yi: "Just such a letter, no signature, no seal, God knows who it is?" Young master, you showed it to the old slave a few days ago, I thought about it for a few days, and my brain hurt, I don't remember that the old man had such a no. 1 acquaintance when he was alive! ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ding Yi.

There are only six big silver characters on the dark blue envelope: Rujin Xian's nephew

That word was extremely beautiful in Ding Yi's opinion, but it was just a broken memory somewhere in his mind, but he was faintly disapproving: "But the pavilion body!" "What is a pavilion body? Ding Yi didn't know, and he couldn't find out the broken memories of his predecessor Ding Xiucai in his mind, so he had to continue to read the letter as if the voice didn't exist.

The letter paper was pulled out and it was a plain white ribbed paper, and the letter probably said:

The person who wrote the letter and Ding Xiucai's father were fellow villagers, and they had a cordial friendship twenty years ago, and the exact date is not clear—because the letter was written with the sentence "Twenty years of deed, and the old friendship in my heart" was really exactly twenty years? Who knows, in short—in these days, the person who wrote the letter misses Ding Yi's father very much, because he can no longer find a true friend like Ding's father.

Then he said that he lacked intimate cronies around him, and hoped that Ding Yi could go to the capital to help him do some favors, if Ding Yi was willing, then as long as he went to live at the Yuelai Inn in the capital, someone would naturally come to lead him to meet.

This is the end of the letter, unsigned, undated, and unsealed.

Uncle Zhong smiled bitterly: "The old slave has followed the master for more than 30 years, and the only thing worth being proud of is that the old man knew all over the world during his lifetime, but if there is something to talk about, the old slave has nothing to think about." But I can't remember how the old man had ever met such a person twenty years ago......"

At this time, Ruyu came over with tea, and pouted: "Isn't this a letter from the old master, I don't know those bad embryos, and what kind of eunuchs were made up from there, but the young master who insisted on framing the slaves......"

Ding Yi shook his head, although he had no sense of substitution in this era, but with the experience of his previous life, he still pointed out the key to the problem with great keenness: "You are wrong, the reason why they say that the person who sent the letter is a eunuch is probably in addition to what the person who sent the letter may have revealed, and this paper confirms their inference." ”

Uncle Zhong looked at Ding Yi like a ghost, unconsciously took two steps back, leaned on the table to stand firm, raised his hand and trembled to Ding Yi: "Young Master, you, how did you know?" "The messenger came today, and it was Uncle Zhong, the old housekeeper, who came to contact him, because Ding Yi happened to go to the Wenhui.

So the messenger didn't see it with his own eyes, how did he know about it? As for the paper, it is even more incredible, if Ding Yi is already fifty or sixty years old and has traveled the world, it is okay, or after winning the show, he has no intention of becoming famous and went to a pawnshop and antique shop as a shopkeeper for more than ten years.

A talent at the age of eighteen, this is something he can understand?

This shocked Uncle Zhong even more than the "corruption" method that he casually threw out before, this is no longer smart.

Uncle Zhong couldn't help but say, took Ding Yi's hand, and gave a good clue up and down, left and right, and asked after a while: "How did this paper go wrong, does the young master know?" ”

Ding Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know about this, but this paper must be different from the paper used by ordinary readers, otherwise, it is impossible for Peng Zhang's group to sit down and infer it." Ding Yi followed Peng Zhang in the morning, and there were a few pen and ink shops in Rongcheng County, but I really had never seen such paper.

Uncle Zhong let out a long sigh, Ding Yi's answer made him put his heart down, if Ding Yi could even say the paper question, Uncle Zhong was afraid that he would have to consider finding some monks and Taoists to do things! But he still couldn't help but straighten his stiff back, shook his head and sighed: "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for forty years, and he knows countless people, there is a sword light and a cold twenty-four states, and there are young people who have won the middle jinshi, but I have never seen a wise and almost demon......"

Old man? Forty years in the world? Although Uncle Zhong spoke to himself very quietly, Ding Yi still heard most of it clearly.

This is inconsistent with the previous style of Uncle Zhong calling the old slave!

But when Ding raised his eyes, Uncle Zhong was still the old housekeeper with his back on his back, the wrinkles on his face were so deep that he could trap mosquitoes, and he looked harmless to humans and animals, respectfully with care and earnestness: "Young master, this problem is indeed on the paper, although this plain white ribbed paper is rare in Rongcheng, it is not a rare thing, and a better paper and ink file can also be bought; It's just that the paper used for this envelope is not a folk thing. ”

The paper used in the envelope is a color very close to the blue and white porcelain, Ding Yi didn't pay attention to it just now, but he felt that the plain white ribbed letter paper was quite elegant and not with a local tyrant flavor, but it made people feel very good; As for the envelope and silver words on the inky green paper, Ding Yi didn't care about it, and there were many gilded invitations in later generations.

"This paper is expensive?" Ding Yi didn't understand and asked, it didn't make much sense to hide it, he didn't understand the things of this era, so he learned it, if he always pretended to be forced, he would only be unable to integrate into this era for a long time.

Uncle Zhong nodded solemnly: "It's not expensive, it's something that only has money and nowhere to buy it, and it is only available in the palace." ”

In fact, if Ding Yi had been a history buff in his previous life, he would probably have understood that even in the Wanli period more than a hundred years later, when a penny of silver bought a pound of noodles, a piece of magnetic green paper would be worth two to three taels of silver [Note]. Not to mention, it was not a few years before the Xuande period when porcelain blue paper was invented. That's why Uncle Zhong said that there is money and nowhere to buy.

Weishenme wants to use such precious porcelain blue paper to make envelopes, but use ordinary white plain ribbed paper to write letters?

Ding thought about it for a while, and then he had the answer.

This old man wants nothing more than to express a meaning: even if his external identity is as expensive as this porcelain blue paper, the friendship between him and Ding's father in his heart is still as simple as this plain white paper.

"Looks like a real friend." Ding put up the letter and still let Uncle Zhong keep it, but he couldn't help asking: "Uncle Zhong can't remember this person, and this Rongcheng County doesn't know the roots of this person?" "Because he said that he was a fellow villager, there was a eunuch in the countryside, and there was no reason why no one knew, which is unreasonable.

Note: There are many articles on the Internet that quote "Wan Department Miscellaneous Notes", saying that a piece of magnetic blue paper is worth a penny of silver, but none of them indicate the source.

The author felt that it did not match the memory, so I re-opened this Mingren note, and sure enough, "Wan Department Miscellaneous Notes" volume 14. Funding. Palace forbidden: "The Supreme Honorable Notes and Issued Edicts to Transcribe Yellow Paper Materials...... three catties of noodles and three pounds of silver; Coptis chinensis has six hundred pieces of paper, and eight coins and four cents of silver; A batch of yellow capital, one or two or six dollars of silver; Nine pieces of magnetic green paper, silver twenty-two taels and five coins ......"——————————————————————————————
