Su Yulong felt more and more ashamed, and under the other party's questioning, he told the other party the reason.

"No one to vouch for?"

When Zhou Shize heard this, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and he was both a little amused and a little angry in his heart.

He never thought it would be such a small problem that he hadn't paid attention to at all, thinking that he didn't need to care.

But it is such an inconspicuous little problem in his eyes, but at this moment, it is going to stump this young man who is very likely to shine in his future official career.

He was also angry at his brother's selfishness, and the family that was supposed to love each other did not care about this younger brother.

He pondered for a while, and his heart moved, "By the way, Brother Su, I don't know where your family lives?" ”

"Xiping Village ......" Su Yulong didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this, but replied in a daze.

"Xiping Village......

Zhou Shize secretly remembered it in his heart, and then smiled and said, "If nothing happens, Brother Su, you don't have to worry about the county trial guarantee, I will arrange it for you!" ”

"That's ...... Thank you, Brother Zhou! Su Yulong was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly thanked him.

Although he still doesn't know how the other party behaves, since the other party said this, he is naturally sure.

Inside Qingyang City.

In contrast to the barbaric and backward atmosphere of the past, there is now a quiet and peaceful atmosphere here, without so many fights and brawls, and without so many brutal robberies and murders......

Since the re-establishment of the yamen, there are rules, no one dares to be as presumptuous as before, and even some elderly people will worship as if they are in awe of the gods when they pass by the county yamen, which makes Zhou Shize, who happened to see this scene, can't help crying and laughing, but also feels a lot of emotion.

These old people are all people who have experienced the rare flash flood that year, and they have witnessed the "mountain god" appear to save people, which is why they believe so religiously!

Naturally, the identity of Zhou Shize, the county commander, has also changed from a "hateful court lackey" to a "messenger sent by the mountain god to save everyone", and his attitude has also changed greatly.

Otherwise, if you anger the mountain god, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

Although Zhou Shize himself does not really admire ghosts and gods, but when he sees that just a good "mountain god" can play such a good guiding role, he is also relieved in his heart, and has a new understanding of the so-called ghosts and gods.

"As long as it can bring a better life to the people, it will be the real mountain god coming, and I will be the first to worship!"

And after having the identity of "Mountain God Messenger", his status here has been faintly the first person, even those clan elders who spoke most effectively in the past have to respect his opinion. Therefore, taking advantage of these conveniences, he proposed to build a real school and invite teachers to teach students, and strive to cultivate real talents.

The construction of a school is extremely rare in Qingyang City, and several large households in the city discussed it, and finally decided to give the mountain god a face, so they agreed to fund the construction of a school together. As for the selection of this teacher, he is currently specially looking for a talent from other places to take on the position, if he only teaches children to read and write, this person's level is more than enough.

However, although the county government has been opened, there are also a few officials under him, which can be regarded as a little bit of style. It's just that few people come to the door to report the crime or beat the drum to voice grievances, probably because of the custom here is to settle disputes by themselves, and it is easy not to seek help from outsiders.

This can't be corrected for a while, and Zhou Shize can only think of another way, which is much more constricted than the chaotic scene before, which is a good thing.

At this moment, Zhou Shize sat in front of the desk as usual and flipped through the files of the past, but at this moment, he frowned, as if he remembered something, and looked up at the master beside him - this master was selected by him from many people who signed up for a young scholar who was rare to be literate and understand etiquette here.

"Master Lu, do you know where Xiping Village is located?"

Master Na Lu was reciting the criminal law of the Holy Dynasty at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly put down the criminal law book in his hand, revealing an ordinary face that was slightly dark and thin, and his eyes showed a little memory, and then replied, "My lord, as far as the villain knows, Naxiping Village is a small village under the rule of a neighboring county, and the specific location has not been to ......."

Zhou Shize thoughtfully: "How far is it from Qingyang?" ”

Master Lu pondered carefully, "It's not far, you can go back and forth in one day." But are you going to Xiping Village? ”

"yes." Zhou Shize nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Go see a friend." ”

"Tomorrow morning, you will go with me."

"Yes." Although Master Lu was a little puzzled about why this county magistrate from other places had friends in that remote village, this was not something he could ask, so he hurried to arrange the itinerary.

Seeing the back of the master leaving, Zhou Shize lightly tapped the paper with his fingertips, but he was not interested in this case file for a while, and he was even more expectant and curious about the meeting with Brother Nasu tomorrow.

……

In an ordinary restaurant, Su Minghu and his friends were drinking with a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian student, and several of them were respectful and flattering, but the man drank two sips of wine and waved his hand casually to interrupt their questioning.

"I already know what you are here for, and it is not difficult to vouch for you. It's just that I'll talk about the ugly things first. First, you must not cause me any trouble, and if it involves me, don't blame me for being merciless. Second, this is not an easy task, you should know the rules......"

"Yes, yes!"

Su Minghu nodded again and again, and under the guidance of the scholar on the side, he trembled and took out a small bag tightly wrapped in an oilcloth from his arms, which was bulging, gently shaking and faintly making the sound of broken money colliding, and then handed it to the man.

Knowing it, the man checked it in his heart, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile again, his eyes swept over the four scholars in front of him, and finally landed on Su Minghu, who was a little reluctant, and nodded slowly and smiled, "Since you know the rules, I will write a letter of guarantee for you in a few days, I am familiar with the people in this county government, and I may take care of you a little." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Su Minghu, who was still heartbroken about this silver, lit up when he heard this, and secretly said that this silver was not too much of a loss.

Just when they were talking happily, Xiao Er at the door happened to invite a few guests in, and they were all young scholars.

After all, the county exam is approaching recently, and many scholars who are interested in this exam and have some brains have taken the initiative to come to the county seat, or make friends, or participate in some poetry clubs, instead of continuing to read poetry books behind closed doors at home.
