Chapter 326: Fate is in a Thought
"Yes." Zhong An agreed, and then persuaded, "Master, your body is important, let's sleep first." With me watching at home, nothing big can happen. Madame, she's just making a fuss, just forget it. β
"Hmm." Zhou Dongping nodded, and closed his eyes again.
Zhong An took a blanket and covered him personally.
"If Du Jinning is going back to the county tomorrow, you have to find out and report it immediately, don't delay, so as not to miss my big thing." Zhou Dongping commanded with his eyes closed.
"Yes, sir." Zhong An went to close the window again, and then gently retreated and closed the door.
Zhong An returned to his house and asked Zhou Dongping's servant Ah Yan to go to the government to check Du Jinning's residence - where all the candidates lived, they had to register before reporting for the pre-exam, so that when they were selected from the top ten, the messengers could beat gongs and drums to report the good news. Ah Yan doesn't need to go over the case, he just needs to ask the officer who went to report the good news.
Before Ah Yan went out, he was stopped by Zhong An again.
Zhong An said: "When you go to the errand to inquire, you also chat with them and inquire about the situation of the head of the case from them." If they ask why, you say that adults are worried that the Governor will ask this question, so find out. β
After thinking about it, he said again: "You take Ah Tao with you." That kid is the best at clichΓ©s. With him by his side, I guess the servants will be able to say more. β
"Okay." Ah Yan said yes and walked out.
It didn't take long for Ah Yan to come back, and in addition to getting the address from the errand officer, he also reported: "The errand officer said that after Du Jinning finished the exam, in order to make up the number of people who put the first card, he also practiced his memory and calligraphy with a script at the door, which was very hard. However, the book "The Condor Heroes" he took to practice calligraphy, after the errand, he went to the bookstore to ask, and the book sold by the bookstore was still far from the plot, and I don't know where Du Jinning saw the book in advance. Judging from this situation, it is estimated that he is very familiar with the person who wrote "The Condor Heroes", and the small courtyard where he lives is very close to the bookstore that sells "The Condor Heroes". β
"Oh?" Zhong Anxin moved, "You go to the Sun Shuban of the Yamen and ask him to find out whose property is the small courtyard and bookstore where Du Jinning lives." β
Ah Yan took the order and left.
Zhong An called a few more male servants and went to Du Jinning's small courtyard and county hall separately to inquire about Du Jinning's return to his hometown.
With his manpower, Du Jinning's eyeliner of the Zhou Mansion bought by Du Jinning got the news, and quickly passed the news to the informant left by Yao Shuqi. Over there, Zhong An has not found out the news of when Du Jinning will return to his hometown, and Du Jinning already knows Zhou Dongping's movements here.
"Heh, he wants to pick up the soft pinch, and he doesn't dare to touch the Guan family, so he wants to bully me and ruin my future?" When Du Jinning heard Yao Shuqi's report, he smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Yao Shuqi nodded: "If we release the news that the young master will return to his hometown tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be candidates who will come to ask the young master to drink tonight, and the news of the young master's ugly visit to the flower building tomorrow will spread all over the city and reach the ears of the scholars." β
He has stayed in Fucheng for the past two years, and the teahouse is the most well-informed place. Every year, he knows a thing or two about what happens to the candidates of the government examination and the college examination. He heard that a few years ago, there was a candidate who won the Xiucai in the college examination, and he went out to drink after being happy, and got drunk and molested a woman from a good family, and was angry with the then Xuezheng to cancel his Xiucai fame.
As for whether the candidate was really a well-dressed beast or was framed by someone, it is unknown.
The trick is not fresh, just useful. Zhou Dongping wanted to ruin Du Jinning's future and frame Du Jinning by such means, since it was quick and effective, it couldn't be more suitable.
Of course, if he is not so excessive, he can completely attack the teahouse and bookstore under Du Jinning's name. This is also the reason why Du Jinning wrote a script in the examination room and left a clue for Zhou Dongping. Zhou Dongping only needs to check it in Xu Zhi, and he knows that these properties are all in her name. Du Jinning was unwilling to do a thousand days of anti-thief work. If Zhou Dongping wants to start from this aspect, it is best to do it now, lest she always bear a heart.
The two roads depend on how Zhou Dongping chooses.
Du Jinning nodded: "I originally thought that he would embarrass me in the examination room, and I will stir up and stir up their husband and wife relationship. But now it seems that people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts. β
"Then I'll call someone to inform Lianniang now?" Yao Shuqi asked.
Du Jinning shook his head: "Wait a minute, as soon as this move is made, Zhou Dongping will be ruined." I want him to strike first to see if he's really so unconscionable. β
She is just Guan Lehe's disciple, and Guan Lehe was quite innocent in that incident back then. She has no grudges or hatred with Zhou Dongping, if Zhou Dongping can really ruin her future, she will naturally not stay; If Zhou Dongping can't bear it at the critical moment, she will stop here, or let her go and attack the industry under her name, then she will naturally let Zhou Dongping go and compete in other ways.
If she really wants to go on a career and mix in the big dye vat of officialdom in the future, Houhei will definitely have to learn. But she didn't want to let herself have no bottom line. She set a rule for herself, that is, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone wants to offend me, he will fight back.
Hearing Du Jinning's words, Yao Shuqi bowed slightly.
It's better to talk to a master with a conscience and a bottom line than to a master who has no bottom line and is ruthless. His master is right: he has the means and the moral bottom line, which is very good.
"Lu Xiaobei got up and went to the county pavilion with me." Du Jinning stood up.
The two discussed and did not avoid Lu Xiaobei, who was sitting next to him. Hearing Du Jinning's call, he also stood up.
"You go back first, and then report if there is any news, or ask someone to call Lu Xiaobei to pass the word." Du Jinning said to Yao Shuqi.
Yao Shuqi nodded, but did not leave immediately, but waited for Du Jinning to leave for a while, and then left the small courtyard and returned to the bookstore.
Du Jinning went to the county hall to ask Huang Chengming to bring back the things he bought, and walked around the rooms of his classmates and those candidates in Lishui County. Not long after she left the county hall, the news that she would return to her hometown with Huang Chengming early tomorrow morning reached Zhong An's ears.
Zhong An didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly woke up the sleeping Zhou Dongping: "Master, then Du Jinning will go back to Lishui County with his teacher and classmates tomorrow." β
Zhou Dongping has been tired for the past few days, and he was woken up halfway by Zhong An, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
After a long time, he asked, "What else is there besides this?" β
"The villain asked someone to check the bookstore at the entrance of the school, as well as the courtyard where Du Jinning lived, and found that not only the bookstore, but also several other bookstores and several teahouses that talked about the book of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as the small courtyard where he lives now, are all Du Jinning's property."
