"Uncle, although there are several beats in life? But your head-hunting is not easy to come by, isn't it a pity to give up? ”

Li Kui's analysis made Li Qing, the head catcher, eager to smash the gate of the county government with the iron ruler in his hand. It's so devastating, he almost delayed his son's career as a clerk because of this despicable business.

Today's Li Qing is the king of the eight who eats scales, and he is determined to stop doing it.

At this time, Li Kui pretended to be benevolent and hypocritical to persuade Li Qing that the identity of catching the head was not easy to come by, and it was a pity to resign easily?

If you were really good for Li Qing, what would you have done earlier?

Besides, you are talking such nonsense...... Actually, it still makes a lot of sense, but have you ever asked Li Yun, who was forced to study, what he thought in his heart?

His dream is to catch fast, not to read.

You have ruined a teenager's dream, can you have a good conscience?

The old patriarch and seventh uncle Li Hong looked at Li Kui stupidly for some reason, they thought that their grandson and nephew had a little irritable personality and were a little reckless. Although he was seriously ill a few months ago, his personality has changed, especially the bold words under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village a few days ago, which really shocked the old and young masters of the whole village.

But at the time, it was just a farce of laughter, and I just thought it was funny.

But I never thought that Li Kui entered the city and said less than a cup of tea to Li Qing, the other party wanted to pick a son and stop catching heads. Head-catching is simply an unattainable existence for ordinary people! If you don't say you won't do it, you won't do it, and you won't regret it later.

The old patriarch couldn't help but persuade: "Virtuous nephew, don't be impatient, head hunting is your family's livelihood, if you really don't have this livelihood, where will Brother Yun'er's money come from?" ”

Seventh Uncle Li Hong also accosted on the side: "Yes, brother think twice before acting!" ”

"Don't persuade any of you, I've made up my mind not to do anything. To be a head catcher, three generations have been disgraced, and this business is not to be done. I, Li Qing, am also a seven-foot man, can't I survive without the business of catching heads? The family has a field property, and when the farm is slack, it can also make the family live without worry. "Compared with your own family being able to become an official, what can't you give up? It's just a mere head catcher: "Brother, uncle, don't persuade me if you say anything, I, Li Qing, am also a man who stands up to the sky, and when I wasn't the head catcher, the whole family didn't have a short bite to eat." Could it be that after all these years in the yamen, he couldn't even make a living? ”

"Open a martial arts hall, escort cars and ships for merchants, no matter how bad it is, be a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, sells cooking cakes, strikes iron, and leaves a clean identity for my son. Don't mention this matter again, Kui Wazi is right, how many times can a person have a fight in this life? Going to school is the first priority of my Li family. Everything else is false! If the two of you recognize me as a distant relative of the same clan as Li Qing, you will not say it again. If you continue to talk about it, don't blame me Li Qing for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

Well, if you persuade it again, it is estimated that you will really become an enemy.

Li Qing touched Li Yun's head with his hand, and said with endless hope: "Yun'er, go to school, middle school, this is the hope of your father's life, I hope you don't live up to your father's hope." ”

Li Yun gritted his teeth and tears in his eyes: "Father, the child will ...... Try! ”

After saying that, Wow Wow burst into tears.

Li Kui, you have a weak soul and are too lacking in morality.

I was just passing by and glaring, why did you hurt me so much?

Li Kui didn't care about Li Yunyi's grievances and resentment, he smiled, and seemed quite proud, boy, you don't look at your second master, and dare to stare at me with your eyes, the bear child is not disciplined.

They were talking around the entrance of the yamen, but one of them listened to them every word. He is the new county magistrate of Yishui County, Zhou Yuan.

The main reason is that Li Kui is too involved in nonsense, and everyone who listens to it is shocked, and even Li Qing was able to make the decision to pick and choose not to do it in such a short period of time, so he didn't find that there was one more person around them.

An inconspicuous middle-aged man dressed as a farmer.

As soon as Zhou Yuan took over the power of the county order from his predecessor, he immediately began to visit the ten miles and eight townships of Yishui County.

Since it is a visit, the effect of the private visit of the microservice is definitely the best. He also couldn't wear the official uniform of the county order and swagger out of the county office. This is not in line with his original intention of understanding the people of the county. I have to say that the folk customs in Yishui County are still very simple, but the people are a little poorer. But when I just returned to the county and was about to go to the Houya to clean the dust along the way, I found Li Qing, the head catcher in the yamen, and a few people dressed as mountain people talking about something.

Zhou Yuan is a good official, at least he wants to be a good official. Naturally, I wanted to hear what the people really thought.

So I quietly went up and listened.

After listening to Li Kui's method of taking the imperial examination, he immediately denied the impression of visiting various places in Yishui County in the past half a month. He couldn't believe that in Yishui County, a corner of the country, there were such treacherous people. Where are the people in this place? What surprised Zhou Yuan even more was that Li Kui, this kid, was right. In Yishui County, it is so easy to show talents and lift in the middle.

What's especially infuriating is that with just one cup of tea, his subordinates caught their heads, and after being tricked by Li Kui, a kid, he actually made up his mind to pick a son and quit!

Zhou Yuan, who was furious, was ready to let Li Kui, this kid, know what trouble comes from his mouth.

Zhou Yuan stepped forward and picked up Li Yun, who was brewing anger, and the latter's young heart was once again infinitely hit. Doesn't he have a little dignity?

It's a person who doesn't treat him as a person!

I can't bear to say anything.

"Oh, that uncle, why are you pushing me?"

After all, Li Yun is not very old, and in the face of the adult's rising words, he still didn't dare to be arrogant in front of his father as soon as he opened his mouth, but just protested without being salty.

Li Qing turned around and wanted to reprimand his son a few words, but found that it was the eldest master. His knees were sore for no reason, and he almost knelt down, but he held on! Thinking of his previous words, he felt that he should also learn to be tough.

He is no longer the head catcher who nods at people in the yamen and is careful everywhere, he wants to resign and say nothing. From this day on, he is a clean white man, a real good family.

He can't hold his son back from being motivated.

However, in the face of officials, he had a natural suppressed attribute, and the corners of his mouth trembled and said: "That Kui Wazi ......"

"Li Zhutou, don't you want to introduce this little brother who is like a river?" Zhou Yuan's tone towards Li Zhutou as if he was a subordinate, and he spoke without looking at people at all, which suddenly made Li Kui alert.

But......

What can he do to me?

Li Kui felt that the other party was at most a clerk or something, and he had a bit of face in the yamen. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to wear sackcloth and leggings and come from the countryside.

To be honest, Li Qingzhen wants to tell Li Kui that this is the first threshold on your scientific expedition, and he is the county commander. But Zhou Yuan had obviously warned him not to tell Zhou Yuan's identity. Although Li Qing said that he was not ready to catch quickly, he still didn't dare to make a mistake for the eldest master.

"Kui Wazi, Li Kui. The people of Baizhang Village are considered ...... It's a lowly nephew. Li Qing introduced.

On the contrary, when he was about to introduce Zhou Yuan, Li Qing was embarrassed, he didn't know what identity to arrange for Zhou Yuan. But Zhou Yuan spoke first: "Zhou Yuan, a little official!" ”

"It doesn't look like it! This uncle has a righteous face, obviously a scholar who has gone to school, with a furrow in his chest, clear eyebrows, and a good look. Li Kui's heart was a little bottomless, Li Qing's reaction alerted him, this person's identity is not low. If he dares to offend the county office's clerk in his current identity, he may be unlucky. So the style of painting changed, and flattery.

He still felt that he was not good at flattery, and his words were rather blunt, but as long as the other party did not become hostile to him, he could be regarded as having achieved his goal.

Zhou Yuan sneered in his heart, you kid said that my dynasty and the talent ceremony are a deal, if this official does not govern you today, he will be a minister who guards the land. He smiled and said: "Li Kui, you should know that the identity of the lifter is easy to obtain, but the identity of the county magistrate is difficult." It is even more difficult to obtain the status to participate in the tribute test. According to what you said, there are 500 people in the county who are interested in studying. But don't forget, there are forty or fifty people in the county school who are seniors, and you must not only excel among the five hundred, but also be better than most of the county school students to have the opportunity to pay tribute. ”

Dared!

It's definitely a radical method!

Do you think that he will be in school for almost 20 years in the next life, and he will not be able to deal with the ancients a thousand years ago? If it is said that it is a hard-hit area of the imperial examination in the south, he can't help but feel weak, after all, students in many places who can't even pass the examination have entered Taixue to get the opportunity to take the imperial examination, and there are also those who have entered the Shishi and the first. But this is absolutely not possible on the northern roads.

The road to the imperial examination in the south is too dangerous, it is simply not too terrifying!

But in Yishui County, hehe, the master's self-confidence is full, and no one is afraid.

Li Kui's eyes lit up, can he be stimulated by this? Besides, it's just a magnifying cannon, who will take it seriously. Maybe you will become famous, and the road to the imperial examination will be easier. Li Kui suddenly set his eyes on Zhou Yuan, damn it, why is he a little weak-hearted, no matter what, isn't it just a big talk? It's not that I haven't done it: "I, Li Kui, if I can't even pass the exam for a small county magistrate, what else can I talk about?" ”

"Good ambition!" Seeing that Li Kui was so confident, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could it be that this kid was really talented and learned, and couldn't help asking, "Have you ever gone to school?" ”

"No, the master is fifteen and is determined to learn, and I am only thirteen...... Alas, uncle, I said my age, why are you frowning? "Halfway through the conversation, Li Kui is not happy, except for being a little darker, he doesn't look like a sunny boy at all?

Why is it that people in this world are hostile to their looks?

Zhou Yuan was funny and funny, this kid didn't hide his words, but his personality was really interesting: "I said it clearly without going to school, and it made people laugh when I looked around." ”

"But although I didn't go to school, I also know a lot of words, and it's not so difficult to read!" Li Kui pretended to be innocent, as for the effect, I'm afraid it's very bad.

Because Zhou Yuan was laughing, even Li Yun, an eyeless kid, was laughing.

Zhou Yuan smiled: "Since you know how to read, can you write?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Li Kuixin said, if the master can't even write, can he dare to say that he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi without shame?

Isn't that a slap in the face?

Zhou Yuan felt that Li Kui was interesting, so he walked up the steps and turned around: "Since you know how to read, enter the official to take the school to take the exam." You can have guts. ”

Li Kui's unconvinced character suddenly stood up and walked forward: "I, Li Kui, were born without knowing to be afraid. After speaking, he turned his head and asked Li Qingdao, who was looking at the stupid head catcher on the side: "Uncle, who is this!" What a big breath. ”

Li Qing covered his face and said resolutely: "It's the eldest master, Zhou County Order." Ask for your own blessings, boy! ”

Li Kui heard the five thunders thundering to the top, and his steps were chaotic and he fell to the ground on one knee. After a long time, I thought about getting up, and said with a sneer: "I've been sitting for a long time, and my legs are numb!" ”
