The shadow guard of the Ouyang family nodded: "Well, this group of robbers is using a hook knife, it can be seen that they are not ordinary bandits, and the general of the Fucheng garrison camp must continue to track down, and if you don't get it, you can pull out other bandits." ”

"Hook the knife!" Chen Xianling was shocked, the water bandit case that year shocked Jianghuai and Jiangnan, and Gao Tong's gang of water bandits used a hook knife.

Chen Xianling was originally dissatisfied, but now he didn't dare to speak anymore, and honestly waited for the soldiers of the Fucheng garrison camp with the officials, and begged the shadow guard of the Ouyang family: "This brother, you can't leave in a hurry, wait until the soldiers of the camp come, okay?" ”

Otherwise, what if these robbers suddenly burst out and hurt him? He's just a civil official, and he can't do it.

Shadow Wei said: "Chen County Order, rest assured, the Ouyang family has always done things from beginning to end, and we will stay and wait for the soldiers of the garrison camp in Fucheng to deal with today's affairs properly before leaving." ”

Chen Xianling was relieved, and after saying a few good words from the Ouyang family, he took the officials to work, Gu Jinan and his party were bitter masters and witnesses, and they were all recorded and signed.

After Chen Xianling learned that Gu Jinan was the head of the He'an Mansion, he was very surprised, and said: "I didn't expect you to be the head of the He'an Mansion, how about it, you weren't injured, right?" If it hurts, it won't be able to go on a scientific expedition. ”

Chen Xianling said this, obviously not waiting to see him, the head of the He'an Mansion.

Gu Jinan didn't get angry, saluted Chen County, and said with a slight smile: "The student is the head of the He'an Mansion, and I went to Linhe Mansion to take the exam this time, hoping to be lucky enough to be able to enter Beijing for our Jianghuai in the future and participate in the examination." ”

Gu Jin'an's words were telling Chen County Ling that no matter what kind of candidate he was, he would eventually be a Jianghuai student.

Chen Xianling heard it, and while secretly saying that Gu Jinan was smart, he no longer embarrassed him, and after asking about the situation, he also encouraged him twice.

Qu Xiucai was in a hurry to take Qu Wenliang to see the hand injury, and after recording the confession, he asked Chen County Order: "Lord County Order, can we leave?" The nephew's hand was injured and he couldn't delay it, so he had to rush to the next town to see the injury. ”

Chen County ordered: "Let's go, there are people from the Ouyang family." ”

As long as there are people from the Ouyang family, this group of robbers can be quickly convicted, and these people who are rushing to take the exam will be kept and given food to eat, so it is better to let them leave.

"Eh, thank you, sir." Qu Xiucai was very happy, and immediately beckoned Shang Xiucai and them to check the mule cart and prepare to leave.

Gu Jin'an didn't really want to leave, but he knew that he had no reason to stay, but when their mule cart passed by the Ouyang family's carriage convoy, Gu Jin'an got out of the car and walked towards the carriage guarded by the shadow guard.

But he failed to make it to the carriage and was stopped by the Shadow Guard a kilometer away.

Gu Jinan didn't get angry, but saluted the carriage from afar: "Miss Ouyang, we are on our way, thank you for saving your life, next time we meet, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank the girl for saving her life." ”

Ouyang Ming said: "Gu Tongsheng is polite, I wish you all the deer Ming Siye, there will be a period in the future." ”

Gu Jinan sighed, she was really a frank and generous girl, although she kept the rules, she didn't have the cowardice of the young lady of the family, he responded: "I will live up to Miss Ouyang's expectations, and there will be a period in the future." ”

After that, he didn't stay long, turned around and left.

Mama Han was rubbing the ointment on Ouyang Ming's tiger's mouth, and when she heard Gu Jin'an's words, she frowned and said: "This scholar is a little too enthusiastic, the girl only saved them for the sake of the Ouyang family's reputation among the literati, he doesn't have to thank them again and again, after all, there is a difference between men and women, too eager, not good." ”

Ouyang Ming was very carefree: "Is there one?" He looked very regular, and he didn't mean to pester people, and he estimated that there was more etiquette. ”

After hearing this, Mama Han reminded Ouyang Ming: "Girl, let's be careful when we go out, it's okay to save people, but don't be too familiar with the people being saved." ”

lest they be entangled.

But Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"Huh?" Mama Han looked at Ouyang Ming puzzled: "Why did the girl say this?" ”

Ouyang Ming: "Actually, he is an old man, and it is because of this that I will talk to him more." ”

"The deceased?" Mama Han was puzzled.

Ouyang Ming said: "He is the head of the government of He'an Mansion, and he has a younger brother who is studying with his grandfather, and his grandfather also praised him in his letter, saying that he was born in a peasant family and had not gone to school for more than ten years, but he was admitted to the head of the government after studying for four years, and he is a rare talent." ”

Grandfather also said two things that Gu Jinan did, and those two things were really good strategies, not just smart.

That's why she talked so much to him, if she was really a stranger, she would only ask Mama Han to send him medicine, not herself.

But......

"Looking at it today, it's a little different from what my grandfather said, this son still has the temperament of a teenager, not the kind of person who plays tricks with his cleverness."

Eh, girl, don't boast too early, he's scheming with you today!

"It turned out to be someone the second old lady knew." Mama Han was relieved and stopped talking about Gu Jin'an.

Gu Jinan had also expected that Ouyang Ming would guess his identity, she was so smart, he had reported to his family, if he didn't know it yet, it would be impossible.

"Brother An, what are you thinking? The town has arrived, get out of the car, Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew's injuries can't be delayed. Qi Kangming pushed Gu Jinan and took the lead in getting off the mule cart.

Gu Jinan came back to his senses, hurriedly got out of the car, and the group found the town's medical hall and sent Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew to see the injury.

Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew were not lightly injured, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries, and they had been cleaned and put on Jinchuang medicine.

Qu Xiucai was not at ease, for fear that Qu Wenliang would have a fever at night, so that the big guy would stay in the town for one night and not sleep on the mule cart.

Shang Xiucai agreed, and Lu Bai and the others were so frightened that they had to bring them back to their souls.

Gu Jinli's Jinchuang medicine was good, Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew's wounds were not inflamed and feverish, and the next morning, after they had breakfast, replenished dry food and water, and rushed to Linhe Mansion non-stop.

On the afternoon of May 30, I finally arrived at Linhe Province.

Linhe Mansion is the capital of the Jianghuai Prefecture, the college examination is approaching, the candidates of the Prefectures, and even those who watch the excitement are pouring to Linhe Mansion, the city gate of Linhe Mansion at this moment is overcrowded, and the soldiers of the garrison battalion of the Fucheng City are needed to guard the door and open the way.

However, Gu Jinan is a candidate, and they have the documents issued by the county government, as long as they submit the documents to the soldiers guarding the door, they don't have to queue up to enter the city.

Old man Xu is more sophisticated, he stepped forward with the steward, and first handed the silver to the soldiers guarding the door, and then said: "Master Jun, the old man brought his grandson and his fellow subjects to the exam, and there were two talented men with him." ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to be embarrassed, but after reading the documents of the county government of Tianfu County, they shouted: "It turns out that the head of the He'an Mansion is here, please come in!" ”

He said this very loudly, and those who had been waiting for Gu Jinan for a long time all heard it and immediately gathered around.

A subordinate in brocade clothes glanced at Gu Jin'an and them, and asked in a loud voice, "Which of you is Gu Jin'an?" Come with me, my young master is invited. ”

Gu Jinan frowned, what are you please, which green onion is your young master? Don't get in the way, we have to rush into the city to settle down.
