"If you don't get in, you don't get in, and you have to rely on others."

"The Zhong family's big business can still slander you?"

Zhang Yufeng's shout aroused the dissatisfaction of the people around him, and Yu Ji secretly shouted that it was not good and hurriedly dragged Zhang Yufeng out of the crowd.

"I'm going to find the magistrate!"

Zhang Yufeng took a deep breath and strode forward, Yu Ji pulled him and asked:

"What can you do if you go?"

Zhang Yufeng turned around and said angrily, "I'm going to ask him face to face, why didn't my name appear on the list? Don't leave me alone!"

Zhang Yufeng broke away from Yu Ji, looking at Zhang Yufeng's back, Yu Ji sighed in his heart, but he still couldn't rest assured and followed behind.

In the academy, although the two don't look at each other, if you think about it, Zhang Yufeng is dedicated to studying and never socializes, which makes people feel very high, and he can say a few words to him for such a long time.

Lincheng County Ya, Zhang Yufeng stabilized his mood at the door, and said politely to the catcher who guarded the door:

"Big brother, I am a candidate for this autumn recruitment, and I want to check the results."

"Go inside and find the Lord's Book, and he will help you."

The arrester was very polite, and turned sideways to make a way, Zhang Yufeng walked in quickly, and Yu Ji stopped outside, looking at the county office.

If this was a week ago, Yu Ji would definitely stop Zhang Yufeng, but now it is different, under the notice above, Lin Chengzhi County has changed seven seven or eight inside and out, and the original arresting team is now filled with half of the people in Beizhen Fusi, and the situation of ordinary and arrogant law enforcement is rarely occurring, and it is no longer difficult for ordinary people like Zhang Yufeng to enter the county office.

After a while, Zhang Yufeng walked out of the county government with an ugly face.

Yu Ji stepped forward, "How's it going?"

Zhang Yufeng shook his head, "The master book checked for me, not only does the post establishment not have me, but even the last exam score does not have me."

Yu Ji exclaimed, "How is this possible!?"

If Yu Ji still had some doubts in his heart just now, then he is completely convinced now.

Someone replaced Zhang Yufeng!

"It must have something to do with that Zhong Ning!"

Zhang Yufeng's eyes were slightly red, "I'll go to Zhong's house!"

Yu Ji hurriedly said, "What can you do if you go to the Zhong family now!? Will people admit it directly?"

Zhang Yufeng's chest cavity agitated like a bellows, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice:

"I'm going to Jingzhou, on. Visit!"

Gyeongju City, north of the city, Zhongfu.

There were two groups of people sitting in the living room, if Yu Ji was here, he would recognize that the one sitting on the right was Zhong Ning, who had been discussing in their mouths!

"Oh, I still have to thank my cousin for this dog's incident!"

Zhong Ai, the head of the Zhong family in Lincheng, hugged his fists and thanked him, and next to him sat a middle-aged man with an eagle nose and leopard eyes.

One of the Eight Lords, Zhong Shengyuan!

Zhong Shengyuan waved his hand and smiled: "Where is my ability, it is obviously the help of the Geng family brothers, Zhong Ai, you have to thank them in the future!"

When Zhong Ai's father and son heard this, they immediately raised their glasses and saluted the other side:

"The Duke is gracious, the Zhong family is unforgettable, this is to replace the wine with tea and toast the two adults!"

On the opposite side of Geng Qiu, the two brothers Geng Jian smiled and replied, and Geng Qiu said, "Zhong Jue's business is naturally my business, not enough to worry about, hahahaha."

Zhong Shengyuan's posture relaxed, leaned over and asked, "Geng Jue, this matter is not difficult, right?"

"No, no."

Geng Jian replied first: "I'm a servant of the ministry, it's easy to change the organization, and don't you also say that that person is just an ordinary person, he can't make much trouble without a background, if he makes trouble, you can just send someone to symbolically mean it."

Geng Jian didn't care, obviously he had done this kind of thing many times.

Zhong Ai replied, "I have already sent someone, and I have given a lot of money."

Geng Jian sighed and said: "If this was half a month ago, you wouldn't have to give this money, it would seem like a truth, and now there is no way, the criminal department has fallen, and the people from the Beizhen Fusi have gone down to various counties, they are really."

Report it, it's not easy for the people below to do it."

Zhong Shengyuan said in a deep voice: "I have also been paying attention to this matter, it seems that Beizhen Fusi has been passively accepting the move, but in fact, it is fatal in the last move, this department is too dangerous."

Geng Qiu smiled bitterly: "Not only is it dangerous, it is invulnerable at all, and the people of my criminal department are equivalent to feeding swords with their bodies!"

Hearing Geng Qiu say it so bluntly, Zhong Shengyuan's eyes narrowed slightly

"Brother Geng, I asked you a long time ago if there is anything I can help with."

Geng Qiu chuckled twice, "It's nothing, do you know Qingzhou Yuping Mountain?"

"Yes."

Zhong Shengyuan nodded, "It is said that two years ago, there was a great Buddha statue who smashed Yuping Mountain with one palm out of thin air, and then there was a Demon Venerable who crossed the Nine Rank Competition, and now it has been destroyed."

Geng Qiu said bluntly: "As far as I know, Yuping Mountain is going to build a heavenly gate to prevent harassment from Xihe Niuzhou, and the position given by the Zhong family kid this time is in the engineering department, he should be able to contribute some strength in this matter, right?"

Zhong Shengyuan spread his hands and said, "You mean to do some tricks? Not to mention that this kid has just entered the Ministry of Works, whether he has two words about this operation, and even if he does, how can he help you?"

Geng Qiu's chin raised slightly, "It's very simple, I want him to tell me the route of the Ministry of Industry to Qingzhou."

Zhong Shengyuan's eyes flashed, "You are from the west!?"

Geng Qiu smiled and didn't answer directly, "Twenty years ago, there was only four lords in the Northern Youzhou Beast Tide."

Geng Qiu was not in a hurry, "At that time, Xihe Niuzhou took the opportunity to make a rebellion and wanted to smuggle into Yuping Mountain, you and my troops were sent to quell the chaos at that time, but no one thought that their strength was beyond imagination, at that time, it was the prince who took the Xizhou soldiers to risk death to save you and me, and I was not far away, and it was precisely because I survived that battle that I could worship the king and be knighted."

Zhong Shengyuan squinted and smiled: "In recent years, there have been more and more rumors about the west, I just had this suspicion at first, but now that I have heard you say this, I can basically confirm that my official position as a junior of the Zhong family is just an introduction, are you trying to pull me into the gang?"

Geng Qiu did not deny it, Zhong Shengyuan was puzzled: "You are a very popular minister, you have enjoyed glory and wealth, but you have been quite active in the court in recent days, I don't understand why you have to stir up trouble?"

Geng Qiu laughed, "Although we are noble princes, the military power in our hands has long been taken back by Your Majesty, and when the great battle is coming, we are still like floating Ping, helpless, and the so-called power and wealth are just a flash in the pan, and they will pass away in a moment."

The corners of Zhong Shengyuan's mouth twitched, "Aren't you afraid that I'll report you now?"

"You won't."

Geng Qiu was very sure, "Since you let this Zhong family junior accept my kindness, we have already been in the same boat, besides, the Eighth Jue is almost all marginalized now, and the one in the west is both good for you and me, why not find another way out?"

Zhong Ning listened to Zhong Shengyuan in a fog on the side, and listened to Zhong Shengyuan's speech:

"Zhong Ning, don't care about what we just said, you try to get involved in that matter in the Ministry of Industry."

"Okay."

Zhong Ning nodded, and the few people talked for a while, and the Geng brothers got up to say goodbye.

At the same time, on the streets of Lincheng, Zhang Yufeng hurried to go home and pack his things to go to the capital. Visit.

"Hey, Xiao Zhang is back!"

"Zhang Caizi, what kind of post did the imperial court give?"

Some of the aunts I saw this morning occasionally saw Zhang Yufeng walking back in a hurry, thinking that they were in a hurry to come back to report the good news, so they all asked out loud.

How does Zhang Yufeng answer? Now the aunts' words are particularly harsh, he just bows his head vigorously and walks forward in a muffled voice, and when he is far away, he vaguely hears the voices of the aunts behind him change their taste

"Hey, why doesn't this little Zhang ignore me?"

"Tut-tut, this is really an official, and he looks down on us."

Squeak~!

"Xiaofeng is back?"

The old wooden door was pushed open, and Zhang's mother happily came out of the kitchen, rubbing her two hands on her apron casually, but she was stunned when she saw the person who came.

"Brother......?"

Zhang Yufeng's small

Sister Azhu didn't hear her brother's voice, and followed out from behind her mother in confusion, but what she saw was a white-faced scholar followed by several people carrying a box with expressionless faces, which didn't look like a good stubble.

"Hello, is this Zhang Yufeng's home?" …………

When Zhang Yufeng pushed the door open again, he was already stunned by the scene in front of him, and several strangers gathered around his mother and sister, all with unkind faces.

Zhang Yufeng asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why did you come to my house?"

The leading scholar replied, "We are the Zhong family."

As soon as he heard the words Zhong Jia, Zhang Yufeng's emotions came to his heart again, and he pointed to the door and shouted:

"What do you mean? Do you feel that your family has the ability to trample on the dignity of others at will? Get out of here!"

"Zhang Yufeng, don't be impatient."

The scholar raised his hand and motioned for the person behind him to open the box, which was full of gold.

"Here are 300 gold bars and 3,000 alloy coins, enough for your family for a lifetime, how about it, is this money enough to buy you an official office?"

Zhang Yufeng looked at the gold bars in the box and laughed angrily, "It's the first time I've seen someone impersonate and be so arrogant! Zhong Ning didn't even take the exam, why are your faces so embarrassed?"

"Brother ......"

Zhang Yufeng was stunned for a moment, looked at the faces of his mother and sister, and suddenly fell silent.

In their faces, he could see the longing.

This scholar is right, it can be seen from this dilapidated courtyard that Zhang Yufeng is not rich, and it is precisely because of this that he looks down on Yu Ji, who has a solid family but is still unwilling to work hard.

A serious illness took his father away from Zhang Yufeng's childhood, and all the family's savings were also taken away, my sister had just been weaned when my father left, and my mother had fallen ill working outside these years, and my sister was almost pulled up by Zhang Yufeng, because most of the money earned by my mother was for Zhang Yufeng to study, so my sister who had a long body over the years did not eat anything good, and her originally beautiful face was now yellow and thin.

Zhang Yufeng hesitated at this moment, his mother's annual salary only added up to two gold coins, even if he became an official, wouldn't it be to give them a better life?

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yufeng struggled to spit out a few words from his mouth

"I'll take this thing."

"Good!"

The scholar got up and patted the dust on his body, and sneered:

"Now the judicial organs are stricter, and our Zhong family will come to you specifically in order to have less trouble, if you put it before, you don't have this treatment at all, I hope you know how to do it, don't turn against the water, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
