Chapter 105: Confidant
"Three years ago, Xiaguan and Neiko took their children to Yangcheng to visit friends." Huang Xian Ling slowly told the story of three years ago.
It turned out that his friend had been very kind to him, and if it wasn't for that friend's assistance, there would be no Huang County Ling and his family now.
This person's name is Tang Yu, the word is Youfeng, and Huang Wang is not only the same subject, Jinshi, but also the same township, both from Haizhou.
The two stayed at the same inn when they were rushing to take the exam.
Huang Wang arrived first, and booked three rooms with the scholar and a few subordinates.
Ten days later, Tang Yu hurried over, but at this time, the inns were already full.
Tang Yu's choice was:
One is to find a house to rent alone.
The second is to continue to look for other inns.
The third is to retreat and ask for a second stay at the accommodation point designated by the official office outside the city.
The fourth is to find students who have booked several rooms, and ask the other party to sell a room for the sake of the same subject.
Renting a house must be excluded first, because his family is not well-off and cannot afford to rent it.
It was hard to find the inn again, for he had been alone since the morning with his bags on his back, and it was almost time for dinner.
If you go back to the place designated by the government office, one is too far away, and the other is that the environment there is too bad, and it is said that there was a fire before the exam a few years ago, and several people were burned to death.
The last one was to ask the same examiner to give up a room, but he had already touched his nose many times.
For a moment, he was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
If he doesn't live anymore, first, his body is too tired to bear it, and he must rest immediately. The second is that tomorrow is the last day to register for the exam, and you must move in nearby.
The reality is that there is no time to delay him!
His weak and tired body carried a large bag, looking lonely and helpless, standing abruptly in the inn lobby, out of place with his surroundings.
Huang Wang saw this scene when he came down from the second floor.
After asking about the situation, I was moved by compassion for a while, how could the ten-year cold window be ruined because of the difficulty of moving in for a while?
immediately asked the scholar to vacate a room, and asked his subordinates to assist Tang Yu in checking in.
After that, he put the matter aside.
I don't want to think that a few days later, then Tang Yu is actually in the top five of the second class in high school!
And he himself almost fell off the imperial list and was insulated from his career.
It turned out that someone reported after the exam - someone deliberately leaked the questions and sold them, but unfortunately, he actually bought a copy!
Although he didn't know the truth at the time, he only bought one test paper and involved one question!
Fortunately, before the exam, he kindly asked the scholar to give it to Tang Yu to read, and Tang Yu not only read it carefully, but also commented and replied, thinking that the answers to the exam questions were too general and a bit specious, and Huang Wang was not recommended to refer to it.
Huang Wang didn't feel at ease after reading it, how could he have thought that this question would be in his mind when he officially answered the paper?
When he saw the title at that time, he was not happy but scared!
How powerful does this person have to be to buy questions so easily? The emperor knows, but does he ask?
Thinking of Tang Yu's answer, and then thinking of a real test answer for everyone, if someone reports it, it will end ......
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally compromised and answered the question, neither choosing Tang Yu's nor the test answer.
During the investigation, although he bought it, no one could prove it, because the first thing he did when he came back after the exam was to burn the answer of Tang Yu's answer and the paper he bought, and his final answer was also different from the standard answer.
Although there is no empirical evidence, the results of the examination still have an impact, and his ranking has changed, from the middle and bottom of the second to the bottom of the third grade...
After all the worries were put down, Huang Wang came to the door to thank him, and Tang Yu also wanted to come to the door to thank him for taking him in.
Through conversation, the two found out that they were actually from the same place - Haizhou people.
The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and in a very short time they became close friends, but unfortunately they met for too short.
After that, they were appointed by the imperial court to take up positions in different places, and they were separated for more than ten years.
When he knew the other party again, it was Tang Yu, who was also a subordinate county commander of Yangcheng, who sent someone to report the news in advance, and only then did Mrs. Huang beat the drum to voice her grievances and act on herself to save herself, otherwise Huang Wang's family was destroyed by Zhang Cheng three years ago.
Huang Wang never thought that his unintentional actions could bring him such a big return, and he was saved by Tang Yu in two critical moments!
So as soon as he was free, he took his wife and children to Suxian to visit Tang Yu's family.
Although the two counties are both under the jurisdiction of Yangcheng Prefecture, Xiangyang is in the east, while Suxian is in the south, and they are seven or eight hundred miles apart.
It is said that Yangcheng is in the middle to the west, close to the border, and Huang Wang should not have had the opportunity to find out such important information.
But that's how it happened!
Coincidentally, they met once three years ago, and they still dare not meet a second time, and they don't even dare to exchange letters, for fear that Zhang Cheng will find out about their acquaintance.
There are several villages and towns between Xiangyang and Su County, because they are all mountainous and the official roads are narrow, sometimes you have to get off the bus and walk.
Xishan Village, the closest village to Xiangyang in Su County, is more than 100 miles away from Su County.
That morning, when Huang Xianling took his family and subordinates and drove south for about 30 miles, the sky suddenly darkened.
The rain in the mountains may just be clouds drifting by, and the next moment it will stop. So they didn't care, so they thought about finding a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop before they left.
Huang Wang's grandson Huang Chuan was less than four years old at that time, and he was more naughty, jumping in front, only twenty or thirty meters apart.
Huang Wang and the others were not too worried, it was almost late autumn at this time, and the snakes and insects had already hidden in the cave, and this was outside the mountain, and the big prey would not appear.
Who would have thought that the child would disappear in a blink of an eye?
Everyone panicked for a while, this person disappeared under their noses, what happened?
The child's mother thought that they had met the mountain god, but they had inadvertently offended the mountain god, so they dragged the youngest child in the group to atone for the crime!
She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing...
Huang Wang was also anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't mess up, and after stabilizing everyone, he ordered to immediately scatter to find someone.
A quarter of an hour later there was no ...
Half an hour later there was no ...
An hour later, there was still none!
Even Mrs. Huang, who has always been strong, cried urgently!
Huang Wang felt strange!
He analyzed that there is no death or corpse in this life, and it is impossible to be eaten by animals, so it is ruled out first.
Let's talk about man-made disasters, there is one child missing from their group of twelve. Eliminate the internal thieves, because except for the six family members, the rest are trustworthy.
And the child walks in front, is not tall, and what happens under his nose, if it is done by others, the child will definitely struggle to be found if something happens, which is also ruled out.
He went back to the place where the child had an accident, and felt that there was something strange about this place.
"Come on, come here! Everyone's eyes lit up! Pay attention to your feet, but also the people around you, and see if there is a ...... anywhere."
Before the words were finished, under everyone's noses, Huang Wanghuang County Order was gone!
Mrs. Huang was taken aback!
