"What to say, how is it possible?" Luo Feng denied her.

"Why is that?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"I don't know." Luo Feng said.

"So you're so sure it's not because it's haunted?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"Of course, there is no one in the academy because the government does not open it." Luo Feng changed his caliber again.

Shen Zhiyun didn't know which of what he said was true and which was false, and then asked, "Why don't you get out of the way?" ”

Luo Feng suddenly ran to the window of the room in front of him, knocked on the window twice, and shouted, "Lao Liu! Lao Liu! Are you there! Guests are coming! ”

No one answered inside, Luo Feng happily pushed open the door and entered the house, shouting outside, "Brother Shen come in!" ”

Shen Zhiyun followed forward and entered the house, the room was messy, there was paper and pen on the floor, and there was almost no place to stay.

"Eh, don't step on the things on the ground, although they are all a pile of useless rotten paper, but if you step on Lao Liu, he will be angry." Luo Feng had already found a rattan chair to lie down, and sighed, "It's still cool in this room!" ”

Shen Zhiyun patronized the things under his feet, and looked up at the room where there was no one, "Why is there no one?" ”

She thought that there was someone in the house, so Luo Feng brought her in.

"Am I not human?" Luo Feng lay comfortably on the rattan chair and lifted Erlang's legs.

"You kid, you're wasting my time, you're ruining my money." Shen Zhiyun pretended to be angry.

"No, I didn't fool you, this house is indeed a housekeeper's house." Luo Feng sat up and said, "I said that the person in charge is not necessarily there, everything is according to fate, I promised to bring you here, but you can't blame me if the person in charge is not there." ”

"Does this steward have any money?" Shen Zhiyun asked, "This is not in his position every day, and he is not afraid of being blamed from above?" ”

"Blame what? I told you that this academy is not allowed by the government, this is abandoned, what can someone do if you are in charge, at most it is just a courtyard. Luo Feng said indifferently.

"Eh, what are you doing standing so far away? Come here! Luo Feng saw Shen Zhiyun still standing at the door and beckoned her over.

Shen Zhiyun raised his foot and drove the paper on the ground to roll up a corner, feeling that the things on the ground inside the gust of wind outside the door were finished.

"When will the steward come?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"I don't know, can I still control him?" Luo Feng said this with some unhappiness.

Shen Zhiyun suddenly wanted to ask, "At your young age, what are you doing as a sweeper in this abandoned academy?" Didn't you give a lot of silver? ”

Luo Feng pulled his collar irritably, "Where did I get the silver, I was cheated!" ”

Shen Zhiyun finally found a place to sit down, and became interested, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Feng glanced at her, "Why did you tell you?" ”

Shen Zhiyun took out a few pieces of silver from the money bag and raised his hand to throw it towards Luo Feng.

Luo Feng leaned forward and raised his hands in front of him to prepare.

Shen Zhiyun threw the silver upwards and returned to his hands.

Luo Feng was teased and lay back on the rattan chair angrily, "Cut, it's boring." ”

Shen Zhiyun cushioned the silver in his hand again, "You tell me how you were swept away by the pit academy." ”

Luo Feng listened to the crisp sound of the silver colliding, his heart itched, and he sat up again and said, "You give me the silver first, and I'll tell you." ”

"No, I'll hear your story first, how much silver is worth, what if you take the money and make up a story to deal with me?"

"You give it first."

"You speak first."

Shen Zhiyun's attitude was resolute, and Luo Feng waved his hand irritably, "Okay, okay, I'll talk about it, I'll talk about it." ”

Shen Zhiyun nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"This rotten academy, when it was first built, people in villages near and far who wanted to study sent their children to study, and I heard that this academy was not a county order, but an order from the nobles in the capital, and the money was allocated." Luo Feng said, "Do you know that many places have built academies? They all don't need money, and they are all teachers hired by the government. ”

Shen Zhiyun nodded, "I know." ”

"But there is only one place in Huaxian County that has built a academy nearby, and it is too far to go to other places to study, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth." Luo Feng said.

"There should be no shortage of students in Nahua County." Shen Zhiyun rubbed the silver and said.

Luo Feng continued, "Originally, there were quite a lot of people studying here, but the government suddenly didn't let people come like, and the reason was that the academy still needed to be repaired. Luo Feng sneered and scolded, "Fix a fart!" No matter how much you repair it, the house will collapse. ”

"Then you still haven't said why you're sweeping the floor here?" Shen Zhiyun only listened to it for a long time.

Luo Feng took a sip, "Dog Mansion, I was deceived by this academy to come to Huaxian." I came here after a long journey, but I couldn't say it, and I was so angry! ”

Shen Zhiyun frowned, "Then you are born of love from hate, and you are working as a day job here?" ”

Luo Feng looked at Shen Zhiyun with a "you are farting" look, his mouth opened and closed several times, and he didn't spit out a word.

Shen Zhiyun couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, "Are you really like that...... Unique hobbies. ”

"Fart!" Luo Feng scolded her, "What kind of person with a sick brain can give birth to love from hate!" ”

"Then why?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

Luo Feng whispered, "I lost my ......."

"What?" Shen Zhiyun didn't hear clearly.

"Entanglement has been stolen!" Luo Feng broke the jar and fell.

Fourteen or five teenagers always want to save face, they want to grow up and have no ability, they are already sensible in their hearts, and they know that it is not easy for their parents to make money.

"Huh......" Luo Feng sighed faintly, "If I don't finish the book and lose the money, my mother will be angry with me when I go back." ”

Shen Zhiyun was a little stunned, feeling as if he had poked the young man's sadness.

Luo Feng saw Shen Zhiyun's sympathetic eyes, and felt irritable, "Look at Mao, give me the silver, you said it!" ”

Sympathy is sympathy, silver still can't be spent casually, you have to ask clearly.

Shen Zhiyun clenched the silver, "So you stay and make money as a handyman?" It's not a quick job. ”

Luo Feng said helplessly, "Not only was the money stolen, but he also accidentally clicked on the manuscript of the broken steward, he wanted to blackmail me, I have no money, and I work day to pay off the debt." ”

I came to Huaxian, and after knowing that the academy was closed, I was angry, and there was nothing I could do but find a guest house to stay overnight, and then return the same way the next day.

As a result, he woke up and found that the coil was stolen, he couldn't find anyone, and asked the proprietress of the inn to make trouble, and the proprietress felt that he was slandering, and gave him a slap and asked the guy to throw him out.

Luo Feng felt that he was too unlucky, too much of a loss, thinking of the closed academy, thinking that there should be no one inside.

So I climbed over the wall and entered the academy in the middle of the night, thinking that stealing some books and buying them would be considered profitable, and no one came here to study anyway.

As a result, he just slipped into a room, thinking it was an empty room, pushed the door in and just lit a fire, and was scolded in the night, "Who! ”

Luo Feng was so frightened that his hand shook, and the fire fold fell to the ground, and the ground was full of messy waste paper, and it caught fire with a "swoop". Luo Feng and the man hurriedly came over and trampled on it with their feet, the more they stepped on it, the more chaotic it became, and finally the man went to the courtyard to fetch a few basins of water before splashing it, and it took a lot of effort.

When the candlelight was lit, Luo Feng was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and the ground was either ashes or water-soaked paper.

The person who lit the lamp was the owner of this house, the steward of this academy, and Lao Liu, who Luo Feng was shouting outside the house just now.

Lao Liu said that he wanted to arrest Luo Feng and report to the official, Luo Feng hugged Lao Liu's thigh with a handful of snot and tears, crying about his tragic experience, "You are doing well, you are doing well...... Woowoowoo...... I was also forced to be helpless, you sent me to the government, and there is a 70-year-old mother at home who wants me to support me...... Woowoowoo......"

Luo Feng was crying here, and his mother, who was less than forty in the village, sneezed.

Lao Liu sighed and said, "Do you know that what you just burned are all the handwritten notes treasured by famous masters." I spread the paper on the floor to make it easier to tidy up, and now you're in for a big deal. Saying that, he sighed again, and thick sorrow was mixed in it, and Luo Feng's heart was cold when he listened.

Luo Feng was so frightened that his soul was about to fly.

If he really ruined the masterpiece, his mother would sell tofu for a lifetime and plant land for a lifetime, but she wouldn't be able to fill this big hole!

Sell him...... But even if you sell him, you can't afford to lose it!

"Please let me go, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse!" Luo Feng hugged Lao Liu's thigh and pleaded.

Lao Liu seemed to be embarrassed, and sighed mournfully, "Forget it, you are also a half-old child, I will make up for this basket for you." ”

Luo Feng was grateful at the time, and he wanted to recognize Lao Liu as his godfather, so he agreed to work as a day job in the academy.

"He's a liar!" Luo Feng scolded angrily, "What a masterpiece, I'm bah!" ”

"I've only been in the academy for a few days, and his house is full of rotten paper."

Shen Zhiyun said, "That's not because you have bad intentions and actually came to steal things, because you have read books before." ”

Luo Feng knew that he was at a loss, and said confidently, "Then I haven't given him a few months of day work." ”

knew that Lao Liu had deceived him, but he didn't have the face to go home after finding out, and in the name of being deceived by Lao Liu, he hid in the academy and didn't dare to go back to face his mother in the village.

Shen Zhiyun threw the silver to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng caught it in surprise, one of them rolled to the ground, Luo Feng got down from the rattan chair and squatted down to pick it up, and when he looked up again, Shen Zhiyun had already walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Luo Feng called Shen Zhiyun.

"The person in charge is not here, I'll come back when he comes."

Shen Zhiyun left without looking back.

"Slow down and don't send it-" Luo Feng waved his hand towards Shen Zhiyun's back.

Luo Feng thought that Shen Zhiyun had left the academy, and returned to the rattan chair to lie lazy.

Shen Zhiyun didn't leave immediately, and walked around the academy.

The scale of this academy is not lazy, and there is a vegetable garden behind it.

So why didn't the government let the academy recruit people?

Shen Zhiyun returned to the courtyard.

Jiang Yujin asked how it was.

Shen Zhiyun shook his head and told Jiang Yujin what he heard.

"Could it be that the rich don't want the children of the poor and their children to compete for the ranking of the imperial examination?" Jiang Yujin guessed.

"Probably not." Shen Zhiyun said, "If it is suppressed by the powerful, the local officials should protect each other, unite with the powerful tycoon, and even monopolize the matter of studying, and they must be arrogant and oppress the people on weekdays." ”

"But when I went out last night, I didn't know that the curfew in Huaxian County was so early, and I was caught by the patrols, and they let me go in a few words, and even heard me say that I was a foreigner, and I didn't even check my identity documents, so they urged me to hurry back to my residence. It shows that the officers and soldiers here are quite gentle, of course, it may just be my luck to meet a group of gentle patrols. Shen Zhiyun said.

Jiang Yujin said, "The two of us broke away from the big team, and Yicheng probably has sent people to warn the various cities and counties in Linzhou one by one." ”

"Do you still need to warn now? As early as when we went out of Beijing, we got the news here, which place is not waiting for it. Shen Zhiyun said, "I know with Yicheng, I and you are auxiliary ministers, Deng Changchun is the minister of the Qincha, and most of Yicheng's attention is still on Deng Changchun and Luo Zengwen." ”

Jiang Yujin nodded, "Then do we still have to investigate it privately?" I guess it won't be long before all the places get the order of Yicheng. ”

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, "No, if you can find out through a private investigation, you don't need us officials to go south." Let's go directly to the county order and order them with the token of the imperial court, I want to see what reason this academy can have if it is not opened, and the income and expenditure account book of Xuetian, if you dare to be a little confused, this county order will not have to continue. ”

In fact, Shen Zhiyun was angry, how many courtiers asked for the people's lives, and His Majesty asked the household department to allocate money to build a academy. The imperial court gave such a good opportunity to the children of the poor family, and the establishment of the academy was a great benefit to the world, and the accounts of Xuetian were one thing, and it was indispensable for someone to be greedy for money, but the direct closure of this academy was really too rampant! Directly put the emperor's life as nothing!

It has been more than half a year since the money from Guangjian Academy was allocated to various states, and this time she had to find out the case clearly, and she had no shame to face her colleagues in the court.

There is also a part of the appropriation that has now arrived in Yicheng, and Shen Zhiyun feels that this batch of silver is really shipped early, giving this state and county the opportunity to cheat and be greedy.

So Shen Zhiyun and Jiang Yujin took those entourages to the official mansion.

"Who's coming?" The guard at the door asked.

Shen Zhiyun showed the capital token, "On the orders of Your Majesty, investigate and deal with Linzhou Xuetian!" ”

The guards hurriedly went in to report that recently, some officials in the capital came to Linzhou to investigate, and they all got the news, but they didn't expect that there was no news from other big cities, so they let the county seat run into it first.

The county commander and the master hurriedly trotted out to greet them.

The county order was a fat man, and the flesh on his face was trembling when he spoke, and he didn't know if he was fat or scared.

The master was a thin man, with a sunken face, and he stood next to the county order as flat as a piece of paper.

The county magistrate looked at Shen Zhiyun's token, and after checking it, it was indeed a token in Beijing, and shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, but he smiled happily on his face, and flattered, "Your Excellency has worked hard all the way, please come in." ”

Seeing that there were more than a dozen people coming, the county magistrate wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, for fear of offending the nobles, Shen Zhiyun saw the county magistrate's hesitant look, and said, "The rest of the adults have already arrived in Yicheng." ”

The county order was guessed right, and his heart tightened, and he wiped his sweat with his sleeve in fear, "Okay, my lord, please come in." ”

It's on the shelves, it's on the shelves!
