A few days have passed since the theft of Caoyin.

And in the past few days, Changshu has become a mess of porridge.

Cao Yin is still not found, and after the death of those Jurchen leaders, the only clue is also broken.

At the same time, the theft of Caoyin has spread to the capital.

Even if Zhao Ji didn't care about the copper smell, he immediately became angry when he thought of the somewhat nervous Royal Neku.

If this silver can't be recovered, the Genyue Palace project under construction will definitely be put on hold for the time being, which is a matter of offending the gods.

Therefore, even if Zhao Jidang asked the Changshu Mansion to get the million silver back, no matter what.

Maybe it was because this incident made him a little annoyed, so he didn't go to the court for a few days, but went to the nearby Taoist temple to cultivate for a few days.

In fact, the ministers are not surprised that this kind of thing happened.

But this silver still has to be recovered, and the money is not only responsible for the construction of Zhao Ji's Genyue Palace, but also responsible for the official salary of their tens of thousands of Beijing officials.

This involves self-interest matters, which is enough to make some Beijing officials angry.

As a result, Zhao Ji sent the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, Jin Ziguanglu's doctor Cai Bian as the supervisor of the case, to Changshu to investigate.

As Cai Jing's younger brother, Cai Bian's status in the court is naturally not low.

But Cai Bian's success is different from his brother, and there has always been a great discord between the two.

Cai Bian's several derogatory remarks before were all done by Cai Jing, and the relationship between the two is now almost freezing.

Cai Bian used to be the festival envoy of Liangzhejiang Road, and he is still quite familiar with Liangzhejiang Road, so he is naturally very suitable for this job.

However, in addition to being Cai Jing's younger brother, Cai Bian also has an identity, Wang Anshi's son-in-law.

At the beginning, he was very appreciated by Wang Anshi, so he recruited him as his son-in-law, so he was able to rise up as a reformer.

But there is a difference between reformers and conservatives.

The reformers are infinitely divided, but the conservatives are monolithic.

Cai Jing and Cai Bian were both members of the reform faction, but they also looked down on each other.

Especially Cai Jing's perverse behavior in recent years, the reputation of the entire reformist seems to be stinked by him alone.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Xu Hanliang.

After Xu Hanliang settled that matter, life seemed to be back to normal again.

Those Jurchens were temporarily escorted to the capital, and the Dali Temple in the capital took over.

As the highest judicial body of the entire Great Song Dynasty, the role of Dali Temple is naturally needless to say.

According to Xu Hanliang's calculations, the lives of these Jurchens should be able to be saved.

Over the years, although the Jurchens have been repeatedly oppressed, their strength has increased day by day.

Wanyan Aguta has begun to rise, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the prestige of the Jurchen knights will be able to spread throughout the entire Great Liao.

Although these Jurchen knights are the enemies of the future Great Song Dynasty, the future is the future after all, and isn't it yet that it has not yet come?

The only thing that made Xu Hanliang a little upset was that the jade pendant had not been given away before.

It was a jade pendant worth thousands of taels of silver, and he accepted it for fifty taels, Xu Hanliang was still a little guilty.

But he didn't think too much about it, he simply took this jade pendant with him, and if he had a fate in the future, then he would return it to that Wanqing or something.

But the world is big, Xu Hanliang knows that he and the mute girl want to meet again, and it is estimated that it is unlikely.

Reality is not fiction, and there are not so many coincidences.

Except for the commotion inside the yamen, it seems that the days have returned to normal.

In Changshu Academy, Xu Hanliang sat down again.

"You're pretty tired these days."

As soon as he sat down, Fan Lao opened his mouth.

"Who said it wasn't, I still have to practice martial arts every day, and there was that Cao Yun case some time ago."

Xu Hanliang sighed and nodded.

Regarding the matter of practicing martial arts, Xu Hanliang had already told the second elder.

The second elder did not have much resistance to Xu Hanliang's martial arts training.

Although they are all biased towards civilian officials, it does not mean that they do not like people who practice martial arts.

Although it is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the scholars rule the world, they are all looking at the current results.

"You can take a rest first, you don't have to be so tired, why haven't you seen what poetry meeting your kid has participated in recently?"

Fan Lao laughed and continued.

"Isn't there no time?"

Xu Hanliang shook his head helplessly.

"You don't usually practice martial arts for too long, but spend more time on communication."

Fan Han and the two glanced at each other and said helplessly.

"There are only one or two hours a day to practice martial arts, and the rest of the time is still to study and prepare for the test."

Xu Hanliang pinched a chess piece and put it down, and then said.

Fan Lao, who was originally going to take a look at the situation, was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Han Lao helped Fan Lao and asked: "You haven't had a month to take the township exam, so you want to take the exam after January?" ”

"So, why not?"

Xu Hanliang stretched out his hands slightly.

"It's not too long until the next exam, so you don't have to be so anxious."

Fan Lao continued.

In fact, the most important thing is that he is still a little worried about Xu Hanliang.

If he didn't get any fame this time, he was worried that it would affect Xu Hanliang's confidence.

"Anyway, it's only a month before this meeting, so it's not necessary to go over and have a look when the time comes."

"What's more, if I can get into the jinshi, wouldn't it save me a long time?"

Xu Hanliang smiled slightly, and then replied.

Although the two still wanted to persuade at this time, they closed their mouths when they heard that Xu Hanliang had already said so.

As Xu Hanliang said, if he can succeed this time, the follow-up will indeed be of great help to him.

In that case, the two of them didn't have any idea of persuasion, but nodded secretly.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

Fan Lao raised his head and said suddenly.

"What?"

"The book you wrote before, you can talk to me about the follow-up plot, I think, oh, my little grandson wants to know the follow-up plot."

Fan Lao coughed lightly twice, and then said.

Xu Hanliang nodded, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Old Grandson Fan is only two years old now, and he can read and hyphenate at the age of two, which is really amazing." ”

Fan Lao coughed again to hide his embarrassment: "This, after all, is my grandson, naturally he has such a follow-up ability, so what happened to the grandson monkey?" ”

"Didn't you say that half a moon comes out before? But when I went to buy it yesterday, I found that the new books hadn't arrived in the bookstore yet. ”

Xu Hanliang replied casually: "Pigeon." ”
