The man who stopped Fang Yingwu was about thirty or forty years old, with a long yellow face and beard, thin eyes and sparse eyebrows, wearing a scribe's shirt and a very fashionable Tang scarf on his head, looking like a middle-aged gentleman who was not very proud—such a person was common in places where education was developed.

After the middle-aged scribe stepped forward to talk, he saw that the young man in front of him did not answer, but just looked up and down, his face was full of curiosity, as if he was watching a monkey show. It made him feel very uncomfortable and undignified.

In the end, Fang Yingwu still couldn't suppress his curiosity, "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name?" ”

"Under the surname Xie."

"It turned out to be Mr. Xie, I don't know how to help me?"

Mr. Xie smiled mysteriously, "There are hundreds of articles of various kinds of contemporary texts here, all of which are selected in recent years, as well as some old texts of the great grandmaster, which are very beneficial after careful consideration." If you want to, I'll sell it to you cheaply. ”

Fang Yingwu suddenly lost interest, turned around and left. I thought that this middle-aged man was going to engage in fraud, and he dared to resell review materials, where did he need to do this from others?

As early as when he was in Yulin, he took the opportunity to transmit military information to write a letter to Yao, the shopkeeper of Zhongyi Bookstore in Beijing, asking him to collect eight anthologies and send them to Hangzhou. I'm afraid that the eight-strand selection in other people's hands is not as good as in his own hands.

Mr. Xie saw that Fang Yingwu was going simply and decisively, and he felt more and more that Fang Yingwu must be his target customer. Hurriedly shouted softly: "Little brother, slow down!" If you want to do something else, it's not impossible. ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless, daring to open his mouth to sell review materials first was still a temptation, and the other party was really careful enough. It's not surprising, though. It's impossible to be careless when doing such a shady thing. He stood on his feet and asked rhetorically with a smile: "What other help do you say?" ”

Mr. Xie looked left and right. There was no one nearby, so he whispered: "On the science field." There are a lot of joints. For example, help you set the location of the number room in advance, and bury the books in the number room in advance; For example, in the examination room, you can find someone to answer the questions outside and then pass them on to you; For example, finding a gunman to fool around, taking the exam for you, and so on, it all depends on what you need and how much money you are willing to pay. ”

Although Fang Yingwu is determined to take the high-end route, he doesn't think this middle-aged man is reliable. The biggest problem with this low-end route mentioned by the other party is that there are many people and it is easy to leak out. Causing a bad impact on reputation.

But after hearing these doorways with my own ears, I still couldn't help but feel a little moved, after all, cheating in the exam room is a cool knot that every student has.

Fang Yingwu thought about it, restrained it again, and said sarcastically: "I can't see that Your Excellency is so powerful. ”

"Wherever and where, I won't tell you, there is also something to rely on below. As you know, the governor is the chief officer of this township examination, and he is in charge of all the affairs of the department. In the next is not cai. There are still some ways to do it in the governor's court, otherwise I wouldn't dare to make such big words. ”

Governor? When Fang Yingwu heard these two words, his face moved slightly, and his slightly lazy expression became a little serious.

Mr. Xie is still very perceptive. Sensing the change in Fang Yingwu, he screamed in his heart, this order is mostly done!

Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered another possibility—such a coincidence. Don't someone deliberately dig a hole to find yourself? Then he asked: "On Qingyun Street, there are all scholars. How did you find the next one? ”

Mr. Xie smiled and said very funny: "Do this kind of thing in the next place." How can you do it without a little eyesight? It may not work in the next place, but this pair of tricks is still very vicious, and it can be called a torch.

Seeing you alone on the street means that you don't have any contacts and networks; And if you dress simply, you lack pride. At the same time, you can also go to the provincial capital three months in advance, which not only shows that you have spare money in your hands, but also shows that you have the heart to drill camp.

All in all, a scholar who has no connections and connections, and wants to find an opportunity to get through the joints, and still has money in his hand, isn't it the best person to help? Of course, I will not leave any evidence with you, and I will not recognize anything to the outside world, please understand. ”

In the face of Mr. Xie's humor, Fang Yingwu was extremely speechless. Indeed, you looked at the Governor's grandson and said that you would spend money to find a way through the Governor's Courtyard

He interrupted Mr. Xie's boasting and asked, "I heard that the governor and prince have always been upright, how could they open such a door?" ”

"Young people like you still don't know much about the world." Mr. Xie Dundun taught: "For example, if there are some things to do, then there is no need to go through the eldest master, and a steward can do it, so why should it alarm the master? ”

Seeing that Fang Yingwu was still half-convinced, Mr. Xie pointed to the side of the guide, "If you don't believe it, go with me to the Governor's Procuratorate, and I'll prove it to you." ”

"Please!" When it comes to his own cheap grandfather, Fang Yingwu has a mind to get to the bottom of it.

Most of the government offices in Hangzhou are in Xicheng, but only the governor is located near the southeast tide gate, which is very different.

It was not too late, Fang Yingwu and Mr. Xie walked into the car and walked towards Nancheng together.

On the way, Mr. Xie chattered and said: "When I arrived at Xingyuan, I called an old gentleman out of the inner office, and you will believe it after reading it." ”

After another moment, Mr. Xie said again: "That old gentleman is a staff member in the line, and his status is noble, so he can't be moved easily. It seems a little inappropriate to disturb him to come out just to prove something, for fear that he will be dissatisfied.

I thought about it, since I called him out. If you want to ask us for help, you can give him the deposit on the spot, which can be regarded as an explanation, how about that? ”

Fang Yingwu remained silent and did not answer, and continued to have a suspicious look on his face.

Mr. Xie stomped his foot, gritted his teeth and said, "That's good, I'll pay your deposit today, and I'll pay it to the old gentleman out of my own pocket later, and then you will make it up to me!" ”

"Good!" Fang Yingwu happily agreed.

After walking for about three miles, I saw a tall and mighty archway appear in front of me. Those who are familiar with the system of the dynasty know that there must be a big yamen behind the archway, and it can only be the governor's residence here.

Those who are familiar with the yamen know that the gate is relatively easy to enter, similar to a public area. But what really matters is the Yimen. It is also commonly known as the second gate. Inside the door of the instrument is the key place.

Fang Yingwu: This is the first time to go to the Zhejiang Governor's Procuratorate. Mr. Xie "led" Fang Yingwu into the gate, and then took Fang Yingwu to a tree outside the Yimen. The other party should advise: "Be careful, be careful." Just watch from here, and don't go near the door to avoid attracting undue attention. ”

After that, Mr. Xie walked to the Yimen, said a few words to the sergeant guarding the door, and then stepped forward to say a few words to the doorman.

It didn't take long for a person to come out of the hall through the door, also dressed as a scribe, and he was very graceful with his head held high. It doesn't look like an ordinary person.

Mr. Xie spoke to the scribe who came out of the Yimen, and then took out a silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into him, and the two of them nodded together towards Fang Yingwu. Mr. Zuihou Xie respectfully sent the person back to the Yimen.

When he returned to Fang Yingwu's side, Mr. Xie smiled: "Did you see it?" The old gentleman just now was the governor of the courtier's room, surnamed Shi, and I was a fellow villager. I paid a deposit for you first, and he agreed. If you are interested in this way, go back and give me the money first, and I will help you clear it."

Fang Yingwu snorted coldly. With his eyes like lightning, he rebuked: "Liar! ”

"What do you mean that buying and selling is not benevolent?" Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

Fang Yingwu snapped and closed the folding fan. Pointing at Mr. Xie and saying, "I think this is a trap from beginning to end!" From the very beginning, you are clever and seductive step by step, and then you say that paying a deposit on behalf of people is paralyzing. Taking advantage of other people's similar greed for cheapness.

As for this Mr. Shi, I'm afraid that you found a handyman from the line to pretend to be! Let him deliberately dress as a scribe. Then when you walk out of the door and go in again, others will have the illusion that this is the governor's staff.

Wait until I deliver the silver taels that clear the way to you. Maybe you'll disappear right away? This trick can only deceive those who are obsessed with their minds, greedy for progress, but ignorant of the world!

Although young but also eye-catching, it is easy to see through your scam! ”

It should be said that there was no problem with Mr. Xie's acting skills, and there were no big flaws from the beginning of the meeting to the gesture in front of the governor Xingyuanyi just now.

However, Fang Yingwu can be sure that this is a scam, when he was doing research in his previous life, he saw a similar scam story in the "New Book of Du Deception" written by Mingren, and the method is almost identical.

The most important thing is that when he came to Suzhou the year before last, he stayed by Wang Shu's side for a month, and Wang Shu basically saw all of them. But Mr. Shi just now was very angry, probably looking for a fake deception.

But Fang Yingwu will not point out his details, but just say that "his eyes are like a torch". Faced with Fang Yingwu, Mr. Xie couldn't help beating his chest and sighed: "In this world, people's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient!" I kindly showed you a clear way, but you did this to me! ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand unceremoniously: "Okay, stop acting!" Seeing that you have also read books, and you are in the same vein as a literati, I won't sue the official, hurry up! ”

Mr. Xie sighed, stopped talking, shook his head and left.

Fang Yingwu turned to the instrument door and thought for a moment. Originally, he didn't want to meet Wang Shu, firstly, because he avoided suspicion before the township test, and secondly, because he and Wang Shu's temperament were not very compatible, and it was easy to have conflicts when they met more, so it was better to be rare. But today, it's all here, and it's a bit unkind to pass through the door without entering

Fang Yingwu went outside, found a writing stall, and temporarily picked up a pen to write a post and folded it to block the name. came to the governor again, handed the post to Menzi and said: "I am a descendant of my relatives in Futai's hometown, and I specially ask to see Futai." ”

When Menzi heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly went in to spread the word. After a while, the other party came out and said, "The master is in the court, please go and talk." ”

Fang Yingwu walked through the hall through the instrument door and walked along the corridor to the outside of the lobby. At the door, I first looked inside, and Mr. Wang Shu was at the top, but the one who sat down under the boss was the "Mr. Shi" I had seen just now.

Fang Yingwu was secretly surprised that he could sit in front of Wang Shu, obviously this "Mr. Shi" was by no means a miscellaneous servant, and it was indeed possible that he was a staff member. Could it be that he really misunderstood that Xie just now with "eyes like torches"? (To be continued......)
