Chapter 20 Reading the Wei Cao Tang
"Sell clothes, sell clothes!"
The bustling cries spread on the streets, and there were shops selling everywhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Crowds of people come and go, and from time to time they are attracted by the interesting things on the shops on the side streets.
There are also fragrant snacks and sweets sold along the street, which makes many greedy and delicious people linger.
It can be said that as the Jiangnan region under the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the people are rich after a long war, as long as they can live in the city, they are people who can have some surplus money.
This also makes the merchants in the Jiangnan area particularly many and powerful, and for the sake of a good reputation, they donate money everywhere to build roads, build temples, and even set up private schools for the children around them to study, which makes this area more and more prosperous.
Especially the major chambers of commerce with salt transportation and cao transportation tokens, who is not a background Tongtian? It is a huge situation force in the southern part of Zhejiang, and even the government must be afraid of three points.
However, in a time like today, no matter how arrogant the characters are, they must put away their horses, because it is the time for the two Zhejiang townships to try!
The assessment of a country's selection of officials of the scholar clan, no matter how much relationship there is behind it, if it is found that he has done something in it, that is the end of the rolling head, which is the bottom line of the Great Song Dynasty and the bottom line of the officials and scholars.
And this time the township test was selected in Jinhua City, although this place is not as beautiful as Hangzhou, nor as good as Jiaxing, but it has the unique taste of a water town.
A trickle of water passes under the bridge, and there are bridges connecting the two roads everywhere, in a variety of forms, and it contains the efforts of countless craftsmen.
Not to mention that Jinhua Academy is also a first-class academy in the world, and there are some reasons why the examiners chose Jinhua as the examination venue this time.
At the bottom of this lively situation, everyone took away the attention of the township test, and next to a secluded flowing water arch bridge, a small study was suddenly knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock!"
Two successive whispers, and a delayed heavy sound, were heard from inside the door.
"What are you doing?"
The door was not opened, but a low inquiry was heard.
"Come and return the book! One university and one mean! ”
The man who knocked on the door responded.
"Oh? There are people who want to borrow these two copies! Come on in! ”
There was only a 'squeak', and the door opened, revealing a man in a sackcloth coat, and walked in through a scholar-like figure holding two books.
Almost as soon as I entered, the door slammed shut.
The two of them walked one after the other, no one spoke, walking in the dim corridor in the study.
Soon came to an attic, and the leading man knocked on the door gently: "The person in charge, the person has arrived!" ”
There was no reply, but the door opened automatically, and without the need to be reminded by the leading man, the scholar with the scroll walked in very consciously, and then the door of the attic was tightly closed again.
The dim light of dusk swayed gently in the attic, illuminating everything in the attic, which did not look old on the outside, but seemed to be covered with dust on the inside, and at a glance the rows of books were covered with a thin layer of dust.
Only the nearest cabinets had the books on them that didn't seem to be stained with dust.
The scholar came directly to the place of light, and a rickety old man sat under it, a chaise longue kept shaking, and it was impossible to see how old his face was, but he was full of twilight and thought that his life would not be long in coming.
A respectful voice sounded: "I've seen my lord!" ”
"Hmm..."
A faint response, with an indescribable calm and indifference.
"You brought the university and the mean?"
"Subordinates, don't dare to deceive!" The scholar hurriedly handed over the two volumes.
"Lanruo Temple, not far from Jinhua, was originally loaned to the daughter of the prince of Hengshan Mansion in Beiyue, but something happened recently, and even the people in the Buddhist sect were all scattered, and the daughter of the prince of the mansion was nowhere to be found."
"And no less than 100 dry bones were found under the ground of Lanruo Temple, including men and women, and they were probably killed by the blood sacrifice of the evil law!"
The figure on the recliner didn't fluctuate, but its voice was slightly raised.
"Really? It's a troublesome matter..."
"Hengshan Mansion Jun is an ancient god, not a god canonized by humanity so easy to send, or an emperor..."
"But kill my people indiscriminately, and destroy them well!"
A cold aura seemed to come from the Nine Shadows, making the temperature of the entire attic drop a few points, and even the dim light couldn't help but become more and more dim.
"But this can only be regarded as a mediocre event, and what about the university level?"
The scholar himself couldn't help but be surprised, because he didn't expect that the object that the Holy Lord had been searching for for years would actually appear within his range.
"The person Your Majesty ordered to be found has appeared! And it is very likely that it is the one who shocked Lanruo Temple! ”
Now even the figure on the recliner could not continue to be calm.
He sat up straight, and his eyes were like eagles staring at the scholar.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The scholar looked at the cold eyes, but firmly suppressed his fear and nodded fiercely.
"Yes, that's the son! And there are two students around me, and I have recorded the origin of the name in the document! ”
The sound of gently turning the pages came out, almost a few breaths, and all the information had already entered the mind of the person who was reading it.
The more I looked, the brighter my eyes became.
"Can't be wrong, it's him, it's him!"
"Good! Ding Ji! You've done a great job this time! I'll report to Your Majesty, and you may be able to move a few more positions!" ”
The scholar couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
"What is there to be thankful for? You're lucky! ”
The old man in the recliner stood up and patted the scholar on the shoulder.
"How many people have searched the world and there is no news, the latest news is still from Lord Lu Duan, I didn't expect that you found that Lord first, you are lucky! I read Wei Caotang just to have this kind of good luck! ”
"Hehe, this is also an adult!"
The scholar couldn't help but say.
"Don't! I'm already old, but you have to remember clearly, we are collecting information from all over the world for the royal family, sometimes ten years are useless, but sometimes they are important, not only spies, sometimes also death! ”
"As an institution that maintains the clarity of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not enough to have a system, talents, and layout, but also a trace of luck is needed to make everything go smoothly!"
The old man sighed.
"Don't underestimate this luck, 'Heaven and earth are all working together, luck heroes are not free', remember this sentence, sometimes you should retreat!"
"My lord! Boy, remember! ”
The scholar bowed, and then slowly withdrew.
A light rain suddenly fell on this study, and the breeze swept by, wiping the plaque on the door.
Precisely.
Read the micro grass hall!
Four big words.
