Chapter 1632: Undercover Mission

Everyone in Yanyun County has purchased real estate in Fengyang City, which in itself shows an attitude.

It's like Li Wanjiang was very relieved to learn that Xiao Chen's good brother Fat Man had bought a mansion here, and even took the initiative to take a look......

"Master, that Ling'er girl is ...... And that Xiao Ye brother is ......" Zhou Rui suddenly knew so many legendary figures, and he really couldn't accept it for a while.

The two of them are not very similar to Yan Yunwei's generals, let alone Lord Xiao's younger siblings, but more like the little brothers and sisters next door......

It seems that as the old saying goes, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't fight!

Really awesome people never pretend to be forced.

Lin Qi was very awesome before, and the governor's son was able to pay it back?

You are like Qian Zhen, just the son of the Jiangdong prefect is so awesome......

But Lin Qi has always been very low-key, never pretending to be forced, not causing trouble, and not causing trouble.

Even Lin Dongyang's opponent couldn't grasp what tricks he had, and when he participated in Lin Dongyang, he was not implicated.

Otherwise, he would have been exiled thousands of miles away by now.

Xiao Chen chatted with him a few times, and felt that Lin Qi was young and old, calm and steady, full of poetry and books, knew the art of war, and knew the way of economy.

is really a rare talent, and he really deserves to be the son of Lin Dongyang.

Originally, he planned to take him to fight against the English, let him be a staff officer, and earn some credit, so that he would have many excuses when he exonerated Lin Dongyang in the future.

But Li Wanjiang was undecided, and even wanted to negotiate with the English......

Isn't this nonsense, maybe Li Wanjiang wants to delay for some time?

But this errand he sent can allow Lin Qi to also participate, and if this is done well, he can also make some contributions in the future.

told Lin Qi, Lin Qi happily promised, he was feeling depressed after staying at Xiao Chen's house for the past few days, as if he was a useless person eating idle food, and now that Xiao Chen had an errand to send him, he would not be happy.

Xiao Chen asked him to pretend to be a man from Langya County, and the identity documents and everything were all prepared for him, and his task was to get to know and get close to some people who also spent money to buy Jinshi through the door of Qingyun Pavilion, first, to sit on the evidence, and secondly, to secretly investigate their identities and origins, and who recommended them......

This matter must be kept secret, and we must not be in a hurry to expose flaws, if it is discovered, then our case will be messed up.

It's best if you can find out the news, it doesn't matter if you can't find out, don't seek merit but seek no fault, anyway, as long as you participate, you will definitely have a share of the reward for meritorious deeds in the future.

Lin Qi knew that the stakes were very high, so he solemnly agreed, and quietly left Xiao Mansion that night, and after leaving the city, he found an inn to live in for a few days, and deliberately went to the mountains to blow the wind, blowing his skin red, black and bursting his skin, so that he was more like a person from Langya County.

In the inn, I deliberately made friends with a few people from Langya County, and entered Fengyang City with my companions, and when I was shopping in the royal street, I happened to pass by the fat man's house, and saw a rental notice posted at the door, so I spent money, rented a small courtyard, and lived.

The custodian Zhou Rui helped hire two small servants to serve left and right, because he was a rich family, so when he came out and went in, he must be accompanied by a companion.

On this day, I changed my clothes, bought some gifts, and went straight to the house of Wu Qingxi, who was in the Ministry of Rites.

Wu Qingxi saw that it was Lin Yumen, a man from Langya County, who was born late, and the gift list was extremely rich, so he immediately invited him in to meet him.

Lin Qi had finished his visit, Wu Qingxi ordered someone to bring tea, retreated left and right, and then asked, "Yumen succumbed to the cold house, I'm afraid that there is something to see?" It's all for sure. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Lord Jiu Yang cleared his name and came to see him." Lin Qi said.

"Hehe, even so, there will be a lesson." Wu Qingxi said with a smile, "I see that the Yumen is majestic and extraordinary, it must be everyone's son, and the mansion is also an official eunuch?" ”

"Back to adults, my father used to be the magistrate of Yanyun Xuanming Prefecture, and later Yanyun was in a rebellion, so he resigned and went home." Lin Qi said.

"Oh...... Why do I hear Brother Yumen's accent resembling Jiangdong people? Wu Qingxi asked again.

"I really don't dare to hide it from my lord, I was actually from Jiangdong in my later life, just because Jiangdong has a lot of talents, and the township test is difficult, so I transferred to Langya County the year before......" Lin Qi said the truth, and invisibly also pulled into the relationship with Wu Qingxi.

Because Jiangdong in the south of the Yangtze River is the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou, the rich gather, and there are many more students studying than in the north, after all, studying in ancient times required a huge cost, and the children of poor families could not afford to read even if they wanted to.

You can't eat enough, what books do you read?

Therefore, in the imperial examinations of previous dynasties, the proportion of jinshi in the southerners is much greater than that in the north, and under normal circumstances, the south occupies ninety percent, and the north only occupies one percent.

In order to avoid this situation, the Great Zhou of the Han Dynasty issued a considerable decree, compulsorily leaving 30% of the places for students in the north, for example, the triennial examination will admit 400 jinshi and jinshi, then the northern counties must take 120.

As a result, many students in the south tried their best to move from the south to the north before the entrance examination, and changed their household registration, so that the chances of passing the examination would be much greater.

Of course, the imperial court also strictly prohibits this kind of behavior, but it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, such as this Lin Yumen brother.

But it can also be seen that this Lin Yumen's family still has a certain strength.

"Hehe, I see, I see." Wu Qingxi smiled, noncommittal.

"After my father resigned, he started a business, although he earned a little silver, but his old man was always depressed in his heart, and he hoped that the younger generation could win a fame, and this branch was a fluke, but if you want to be named on the gold list, you are only afraid that you will not be able to do it in your later life, and your father will be disappointed......" Lin Qi frowned and told about his distress.

"I see that the young man of Yumen is handsome, excellent in character and learning, and he must be in this subject." Wu Qingxi said with a smile.

"Borrow the auspicious words of the adults!" Lin Qi said, "Although the four books and five classics of the late life are also read thoroughly, but if it is said to be true, then there is no slightest certainty, the late life knows that the adult is from the Jinshi, so I also want to ask the adult for advice." ”

"I don't dare to give advice." Wu Qingxi said with a smile, "In recent years, I have been entangled in official business, but the article has also been put aside. ”

"Even so, it's also splendid." Lin Qi said, "If the adults are willing to give one or two masterpieces in the evening to go back and read, how can it be so fortunate?" ”

"Hahaha, then you don't have to be ugly, right?" Wu Qingxi knew that what Lin Qi said was a compliment, but it was appropriate to listen to it in his heart.

As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn!

"However, the adults pity the late born with sincerity, and they will never let the late born disappointed." Lin Qi said as he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and respectfully placed it on the table, "A little moistening the pen, my lord will reward it." ”

No more, no less, a denomination of one thousand taels.
