Jiang Yishan, as Jiang Xiaomei's own brother, did not go home to attend the wedding when she married the shopkeeper Xu, because he had been stepping up his preparation for the exam under Zhang Gongmao's arrangement.

Jiang Yishan was originally just a poor scholar.

His life in the capital has been poor, and he is embarrassed to let Zhang Gongmao take over the help, but fortunately, his sister-in-law inherited the Wanguan family business, and he was entrusted with a lot of living expenses every three or five times.

Jiang Xiaomei has complaints about her parents, but she is very supportive of her brother.

All this is because Yan Zonglu is always in Pengzhou City, praising his son.

Jiang Xiaomei felt that her family must have someone to be an official.

She knows that even if she is rich now, she is looked down upon by many rich families.

But as long as there is a champion in the family, no, the champion is too rare, just a jinshi!

As long as there is a jinshi in the family, then in the future, when she walks on the street, no one will be like Mr. Qian and Mr. Yan, ignoring her and making her deflated, and she will not dare to return the scold.

At that time, even if it is Niu Buplough, the inspector will be three points shorter when he sees her.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaomei is not stingy with her brother's living expenses.

Not to mention food and clothing, it's no problem to visit the Qinglou once in a while.

With the support of his sister, Jiang Yishan doesn't have to worry about life, and he works harder to study.

If Wen Chaotian is just a protégé that Zhang Gongmao recognized with his eyes at the beginning, then Jiang Yishan must be regarded as Zhang Gongmao's proud disciple.

March is about to be spring, and the middle of the month is the palace test.

The son of the Yan family and the little brother of the Jiang family are already strategic, waiting to splash ink on the exam papers.

The son of the Yan family, thinking about the champion in high school, and then going home to press the eldest son.

The little brother of the Jiang family is determined to be shortlisted for the Jinshi, and strives to be worthy of the support of his sister.

As Zhang Gongmao, who is about to enter the cabinet from the Ministry of Rites, of course he hopes that his disciple Jiang Yishan can come out on top.

As for the competition between Tao Zi'an and Duan Chaoyong, Zhang Gongmao was too lazy to get involved.

Duan Chaoyong locked up Jing Long, and was even more favored in front of the emperor, and patted his chest to ensure that he finally realized the secret recipe for refining the elixir of life.

This point really scratched the emperor's heart.

So now Duan Chaoyong has become a big favorite minister in front of the emperor, who is red and purple.

Duan Chao was in the limelight for a while, although Tao Zi'an was still his superior in name, but his momentum, Tao Zi'an felt a little uncontrollable.

Speaking of which, when Duan Dynasty used it, it was recommended to the emperor by Tao Zi'an.

But this is the case in the world, like Bai Qieming and Duan Chaoyong, after gaining power, there are not a few white-eyed wolves who turn around and bite their benefactors.

This time, in order to recruit more masters, the emperor planned to promote a Taoist to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It stands to reason that this is a violation.

But none of the ministers of civil and military affairs stood up against it.

Back then, there were two people who always disagreed with the emperor, and finally both dismissed from office.

"Shall we not go Wei?? An and Wen Dingguo's old way. That's what they say.

……

But it said that it was inside the rat hole.

Liu Blind, who was admired by 10,000 people on the ground, was cleaned up by Duan Chu in the cave.

After a "Duan Ye spares his life", Duan Chu put down the eyebrow knife.

After that, Liu Blind no longer slacked off, guided Duan Chu, and came directly to the demon cave of the rat cave.

At this time, the two of them were choked by the smell, so they poured water with the cotton cloth they brought down, tied them to their faces and covered their mouths and noses, and used them as anti-poison masks.

When I found the demon den, it was already afternoon.

"Brother, as long as it's almost dusk and the ground is dark, the thief woman will show her true body of cultivation, and then she will be able to capture it, so that she can't recover from her original state, let alone use spells."

Listening to Liu's blind words, Duan Chu pursed his lips.

It turned out that the timing of the move was at dusk, no wonder Liu was blind on the ground before, and told Mr. Wei that it would be done in the evening at the earliest.

"Lao Liu, you're not authentic! You know that the time to do it is dusk, so you can't say it sooner, and I'm about to be smoked in this cave for a day! ”

Liu Blind would not say that he wanted to torture Duan Chu because he lost the Hundred Ghost Breaking Charm.

He was afraid that Duan Chu would investigate it, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "The demon cave of the rat cave has arrived, look!" ”

Duan Chu looked up, and it turned out that the demon cave was at the highest point of the rat hole.

The cat urine poured down with lamp oil was poured on the demon hole.

The center of the rat cave was poured with lamp oil and cat urine, so the thief woman would send an elderly rat to sue for peace.

The size was like three connected rooms, with a wide view, and Duan Chu could see a black pressure rat on the opposite side, blocked in front of the entrance to a cave.

It is estimated that they heard the movement of the living invading and came to protect the thief woman hiding in the cave.

Liu Blind refused to admit that he could see it, and Duan Chu did not pursue it.

At the beginning of this period, he told Liu Blind about the scene he saw.

The charging into the formation was able to do it at the beginning, and the thief woman still needed to deal with it.

"Anyway, it's not evening yet, let's not go over first, to prevent fraud, it's not good to be ambushed, and after the poor blind man went home, he didn't have time to make love with his wife......"

Duan Chu coughed and said, "Lao Liu, it's far away." ”

"Yes, it's really far away, it's easy to teach you if you talk too much, anyway, let's not go over first, don't bother the blind man, give the blind man a little time, and let the blind man think of a clever trick......"

Duan Chu listened, he really didn't talk to Liu Blind anymore, and kept staring at the other side.

As a result, Liu Blind was good, saying that he was thinking of a clever trick, but he stood behind Duan Chu, tilted his head against the wall, and fell asleep, snoring quietly.

I don't know how long it was, but it was probably late afternoon.

The rat swarm on the opposite side suddenly rolled like a wave, surging towards Duan Chu and Liu Blind.

There were 1,800 of them.

There are too many, no matter how powerful the ghost head knife is, it can't be killed.

Duan Chu also understood that as long as he was caught in the rat swarm, he and Liu Blind would not want to get out alive.

Duan Chu was on guard with a knife while poking Liu Blind awake.

Liu Blind panicked and took out a piece of paper in the treasure bag.

A small pair of scissors flew in his hand, clicking, and in a few clicks, a large tanuki was cut out.

"Quick, quick, get some boy blood!" Liu Blind said, handing the paper-cut civet cat to Duan Chu.

Duan Chu didn't have time to think about it, the ghost head knife slashed at his fingertips, and a few drops of blood dripped onto the papercut.

Blind Liu immediately threw the paper-cut to the ground.

The big tanuki actually lived.

The big civet cat turned over and got up, stood in front of Duan Chu and Liu Blind, raised his head and put his tail up, and meowed at the surging rats.

The swarm of rats that came in didn't dare to touch the tanuki.

The surging rat wave divided into two strands in front of the tanuki, and the two blind men of Duan Chu Liu passed by.

Duan Chu couldn't help but praise Liu Blind: "Old Liu, you really have two hits." ”

Blind Liu shouted at Duan Ye to spare his life before, this is deflated.

Now using the big civet cat, he finally regained his face, and he was possessed by a master for a while, and his hands were short.

Liu Banxian looked more immortal than Jin Liuzi at this moment.

"Ahem, don't call me Lao Liu, please call me Liu Banxian."

There is one thing that Liu Blind did not say explicitly, the paper-cut civet cat can suppress the group of rats, not by his paper-cutting skills and master spells, but by a few drops of Duan Chu's blood.

Don't underestimate those few drops of blood.

The smell of blood permeated the tanuki's body, and even the rats that were not afraid of death did not dare to touch their whiskers.

Duan Chu doesn't know now, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know when he goes home.

After all, Princess Zimo liked to study supernatural things when she was a child, and she read a lot of books that Huang Jin collected and described folk evil things.

……

Duan Chu didn't shout Liu Banxian, he just turned around and watched the group of rats retreat.

"The head of the horse catcher has prepared lamp oil torches, and the inspection officers and soldiers are also tense and ready for battle, after these rats go out, they will not be burned to death, but will be cut and shot with knives and arrows."

Liu Blind didn't catch Duan Chu's voice Liu Banxian, and he was in a very bad mood.

"Whether the rat dies or not, it's none of our business, we just need to catch the thief now."

……

Mrs. Xie would have had a chance to escape.

If she found the map in Ma Qianli, before Wen Chaotian blocked her retreat, she would have given up the seven thousand taels of silver and fled alone directly, she would still be able to escape.

However, wealth is dazzling, and gold and silver are moving.

A lot of people died on those ten words.

When Mrs. Xie saw more than 7,000 taels of silver covering the floor of the cave where she was hiding, she kept pouring honey in her heart, and she was willing to leave these countless rats and exchange her life for the money.

After all, the rats don't have much strength, and most of the stolen ones are official silver for five taels and one ingot.

There are many more, and the government has not yet had time to dissolve the broken silver that has been recast.

Five taels of silver ingots of five thousand taels are a thousand ingots.

Coupled with the broken silver, it would take more than 2,000 rats to transport it.

However, in the battle of the silver treasury, the rats suffered heavy losses, and they could not gather 2,000 silver troops.
