Chapter 264: The Second Test

The crisp sound of bones breaking sounded in everyone's ears, and Yi Xuexue screamed loudly in pain.

"I won't let you go!"

After hearing this, the secret guard who did it had a dark look in his eyes, and raised his scabbard again and smashed it hard, and then Yi Xuexue fainted directly in pain.

Chief Leader Gu glanced at Yi Xuezi indifferently, turned around and led his subordinates towards Xinglin Mountain.

That night, the fire of Xinglin Mountain was everywhere, and the billowing smoke went straight to the sky, illuminating the night sky very brightly, and the fire was not extinguished until the sky was about to dawn.

On the second day, Shen Ling got up and finished breakfast and planned to restore his fame in the house.

Halfway through the plan in hand, there was a knock on the door, and then Taojuan walked in happily.

She was holding a plate of pastries in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were about to reach her ears.

"Hahaha, have you heard, county lord? That Yi student's leg was broken, and he was found on the official road in the morning, and now he has been sent home to recuperate."

Shen Ling raised her eyebrows and put down the pen in her hand, "Oh? And there is such a thing."

Taojuan gloated: "Yes, I don't know which hero made it, it's really happy! I don't think he will be able to go to Kyoto like this."

Shen Ling thought about it, the Yi family's status in Xingzhou is not low, and few people will generally make a move on Yi Xuexue, and Yi Xuexue is already at the top of Xingzhou's strategy, even if he is not a person who does not deal with the Yi family, he must consider the weight of his top list when he makes a move.

Taojuan didn't notice Shen Ling's thoughts, poured a cup of tea for Shen Ling, and talked about the news she heard when she went out this morning.

"Speaking of one more thing, Xinglin Mountain suddenly caught fire last night, and it was extinguished this morning, it is estimated that Xinglin Mountain will not be able to recover in three or five years, and it is difficult to say whether Xingzhou can do it in the future."

Shen Ling was stunned when she heard this, and combined with the fire in Xinglin Mountain, she instantly understood who did it to Yi Xuexue.

Thinking of General Leader Gu's appearance last night, Shen Ling shook his head and smiled, this General Leader Gu really did what he said.

Previously, Commander Gu was very loyal to the emperor, no matter what he did, he would think about the emperor first, and even Shen Ling had to worry about Shen Ling when he spent the money left by the emperor.

But since he swore allegiance to Shen Ling last night, General Gu has discounted Yi Xuezi's leg and burned Xinglin Mountain, which is enough to prove that he really regards Shen Ling as his master.

Taojuan looked at the smile on Shen Ling's lips, a little confused.

"What are you laughing at, county lord?"

Shen Ling came back to her senses and coughed in disguise, "It's nothing, you go buy some rice paper for me, the rice paper in the room is running out."

"Oh." Peach Juan touched her head and went out.

Shen Ling didn't go to Commander Gu to ask about Yi Xuezi and Xinglin Mountain, she just didn't know, she ate and drank all day long, and planned a plan to improve her reputation.

She renamed the industrial shops and restaurants left to her by the emperor of the previous dynasty, all of which were named in the same format, and her reputation was completely launched.

At this time, none of the old ministers dared to look down on Shen Ling, she was the only one who looked forward, and Shen Ling slowly infiltrated the lives of the people according to the previous plan.

Commander Gu took out all the money and property of the former emperor who wanted to come back before and found Shen Ling.

"County Lord, this is the money that his subordinates wanted to return before, do you think you need your subordinates to send those people back."

Looking at what Commander Gu took out, Shen Ling remembered that there was still this stubble.

She bowed slightly at the Commander-in-Chief, "You go and see if anyone needs this money when they are in trouble, and then send the money back, and if the difficulties have been solved, you can bring the money back by yourself."

Thinking of some of Shen Ling's reputation ruined by him, General Leader Gu felt a little remorseful.

"The subordinates acted recklessly before, causing trouble for the county lord."

Shen Ling shook her head, it was already the best result for her to be able to know the mistake of General Leader Gu.

"It's okay, it's just a little fame, and I can earn it back."

When Shen Ling said this, General Leader Gu felt even more guilty in his heart, and he pursed his lips and silently withdrew with the money.

Mr. Gu took the lead in going to the teaching that he had been sponsored by Shen Ling before

At the sir's place, Mr. Teach's face was not very good-looking when he saw him, but he spoke politely.

"The contemptible man has returned all the money before, I wonder what this old man is looking for?"

"I'm here to apologize to my husband today."

General Gu's attitude of speaking was very correct, which made Mr. Teaching a little confused.

"Oh? Why apologize?"

Commander Gu looked ashamed, "Previously, my master gave money to Mr. to build the school, and I privately asked for the money back behind my master's back, and I did something wrong, so I came to apologize to Mr."

Mr. Teaching was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the middle.

After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Knowing that mistakes can improve a lot, I don't blame you, that is your master's money, if you take it back, I have nothing to say."

General Leader Gu knew more or less the reason why Shen Ling funded Mr. Teaching, and when he saw that the surrounding schools were still dilapidated, he took out the purse containing the money.

"The master has told me that if Mr. is still in trouble, he will ask me to return the money to Mr. and ask Mr. to accept it." new

Mr. Jiaoshu looked at the purse in front of him, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to accept it or not.

Seeing Mr. Teaching's hesitation, General Gu opened his mouth to persuade, "Sir, you can accept it, the master really wants to help Mr."

Mr. Teaching glanced at his dilapidated school, and then at the purse in the hand of the general leader, and finally accepted it.

He bowed to Commander Gu, "Thank you."

Seeing this, General Gu also replied, "If Mr. needs help, please let me know, and I will fully cooperate."

After hearing this, Mr. Teaching waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, I am already very grateful if you are willing to give me money, how can I bother you."

"The Lord is happy to help Mr., and you don't need to be polite."

Mr. Teaching didn't want to trouble General Gu, so he repeatedly excused himself, so General Gu gave up and left from here.

Then General Leader Gu went to find someone else, and his attitude of returning the money was very humble, in order to save Shen Ling's reputation that had been ruined by him, he seriously apologized to everyone and was forgiven by everyone.

Shen Ling's reputation has regained, she has only done good deeds and won a good reputation, and her name has also spread among every household.

The former courtiers who had been for Min and a group of former courtiers looked at what Shen Ling had done these days, although Shen Ling's name had not yet reached the point where the whole country knew it, but according to her current development plan, it would be a matter of time before she became famous in the world.

The old ministers admired Shen Ling's intelligence very much, and after getting together to discuss, they decided to be notified by Zeng Weimin to end the second test of Shen Ling ahead of schedule.
