The most difficult thing in the world is the days, but the easiest thing to pass is also the days, between the long times, not to mention the vicissitudes of life, but now it is also half a year that passes like flowing water.

The guy who was called the young phoenix of the Cao family by Chu Zheng really returned to Kyoto from Jiangnan half a year later.

But although he returned to Jinghua Academy, he still has no affairs at present, and even the scholars of the academy don't know that their mountain chief has returned.

Then there is the fact that Su Ruyu has already taken the silver again, and today happens to be the day when he goes to get the silver for the third time, and now he can understand what Zhu Wenran means when he says that a corrupt official is a good official.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family. It can be said that the purpose of every scholar to participate in the imperial examination is not only to be immortal, but also to accumulate a family business for his descendants.

The simplest thing is to take his Su family as an example, if his father Su Wang really hasn't been greedy for a penny of silver, just with his insignificant money, then his Su family can eat enough in the capital at most.

One more thing, even if there are really those officials who would rather be poor than embezzle, if they want to be a good official, they have to be greedy!

There are many factors in this, in addition to the feelings of a governor who has to consider his own subordinates, he also has to consider the feelings of those merchants in the city!

Generally speaking, many of the minor officials in the yamen were not in the official system of the Great Chu, and what they valued was not the insignificant salary, but the abundance of oil and water in many invisible places in the yamen.

And when it comes to why officials still have to consider the feelings of businessmen, that is, in the eyes of mercenary businessmen, there is no official who is not greedy!

Whether it is the magistrate of a county or the county keeper of a county, as long as they do not accept bribes from merchants, then merchants will have to think more.

Is it that this county magistrate or county guard wants to steal our family business, now this is not a signal that there is no money exchange, there will be no messy feelings, and it will be more neat and tidy in the future!

Then these merchants will think that they can't put their eggs in one basket, so they will move part of their business elsewhere to leave a way back for themselves, and the consequence of this will be that the revenue opportunities of the county or county will be reduced, and the common people will be poorer, all because of a governor who is not greedy for money.

In fact, if you look at history, you can see a lot of things, although the life of ordinary people is not easy in places where corrupt officials are there, they can survive no matter what they say.

On the contrary, where there are those Qing officials who only read the books of the sages, it is easy for people to starve to death.

Of course, the point to be emphasized here is that corrupt officials refer to those who are corrupt but can do practical things, not those dog officials who have lost their humanity and only care about their own pockets!

Understanding the essence of the word greed, Su Ruyu finally no longer resented the more than 200 taels of silver that the yamen gave him every month, although he still couldn't feel at ease in his heart, and he still couldn't go along with Shi Linwu and them, but at least he could bear it.

The yamen of Taopu County sat west and faced east, and after Su Ruyu came out of the yamen, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, as if she had entered sand.

Then he looked up at the sky, as if to force something back from his already reddened eyes, and then he looked to the east with a sad look.

There was an old man, who was his friend of Su Ruyu, and he died there!

Although Da Chu and Nan Tang were one family hundreds of years ago, they are now divided into two countries after all, and although the relationship between the two countries has eased a lot in recent days, there are still many obstacles to the flow of news.

On the premise that those Great Chu masters kept silent after they came back, the battle that happened in the East China Sea half a year ago has only now spread to the secular rivers and lakes of Great Chu.

In recent days, Tianwulou has also updated the list of the twelve earthly branches, re-ranking the world's masters, Wang Jianqing and Wang Xuanlang have reached the first place with the same half-step immortal realm!

And the inclusion of Wang Xuanlang, who had died, in the list was the result of Tianwulou's careful consideration.

At the high-level meeting of Tianwulou, a vote was made on whether to include Wang Xuanlang in the list of the twelve local branches, and finally passed by unanimous vote, and the new issue of the twelve local branch lists was unanimously praised by the two rivers and lakes of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Dachu as soon as it was released.

And in addition to this huge change, there is also the appointment of the Dark Pavilion and the new Wheel King Tong Huan, who surpassed the third-ranked Cicacada and Mountain Ghost, and ranked second!

And apart from these two things, the rivers and lakes have entered a calm again, and nothing major has happened.

When he went out this morning, Su Ruyu heard the news about the battle when he passed by a teahouse, and out of curiosity, he asked for a pot of tea and sat down in the teahouse.

At the beginning, Su Ruyu only listened to these as a story, and he even clapped his hands at the climax, but until the end of the war, when the man talked about the grievances between the two, he couldn't laugh.

Wang Xuanlang!

When he first heard this name, his heart suddenly tightened, and he tried hard to comfort himself that this was just a duplicate name, but he knew that the Wang Xuanlang who died in the East China Sea was the Wang Xuanlang in his memory!

But he couldn't understand why the old man who could only look at the girl's ass would go to Nantang to fight?

After coming out of the teahouse, Su Ruyu didn't know how he got to the yamen, and he didn't know how he walked from the yamen to the restaurant.

Somehow, today's wine always feels more intoxicating than before, and Su Ruyu is about to climb onto the table without even finishing a pot.

There were three wine glasses on his table, two of which were full of wine but no one drank them, and he slowly picked them up one by one and drank them all.

"Ergou, you didn't know to come to me if something happened, and now, I just want to toast that old man with a glass of grave wine, and I don't know where to go!"

Filling the two glasses again, he gently flipped the glasses and poured them on the floor.

"Old man, since the second dog doesn't come to me, then let's not take him with us for drinking, and I'll give you both drinks!"

As she spoke, Su Ruyu's voice became choked.

"Old man, is it according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I poured the wine on the ground, and you can drink it underground!"

Cup after cup, pot after pot. Su Ruyu didn't know how much wine he had poured on the ground, but the ground was already soaked, and he had no intention of stopping.

"Old man, I also said that when I return to Beijing and become a big official, I will take you and Ergou to blatantly look at the little lady's ass on the major streets of the capital, but now, you don't have this blessing! You said that you don't look like the kind of elm pimple that can't win and doesn't know how to run, how can you still lose your life in Nantang?"

Half drunk, half poured! Su Ruyu didn't know how much wine he wanted, he crawled on the table weakly, drunk, this time he was really drunk!

"Old man, is there any alcohol in the ground! If not, it will be too boring......

...

In the territory of Yuzhou, the state city of Maple Leaf City is really worthy of the word maple leaf, the road in the city is full of towering huge red maples, which has to be said to be a great wonder in the world!

There was once a literati who came here in autumn, saying that the maple leaf city is a leaf falling and knowing the autumn of the world, and there is a famous sentence that has been handed down and said: red maple leaves fall all over the city, and pieces of acacia are sent.

And in Maple Leaf City, there is a place called Baiwu Lane, which is said to have a hundred martial arts and a hundred dart games here.

The biggest dart game here is naturally the injustice dart game, especially after Qin Yi, the owner of this dart game, broke through the three products!

In the past, there were still a few dart bureaus that could wrestle with it, but now even the six gates and yamen in the city have to give Qin Yi three points of face, so other forces are even less qualified to compete with it, and now the money for every business trip in and out of the city gate has been reduced by thirty percent, which makes other dart bureaus even more red-eyed.

At this time, everyone in the Justice Dart Bureau, who had just finished a trip with a profit of 2,000 taels of darts, gathered in the hall with the word "loyalty" written on the plaque.

Although they made enough money on this trip, they didn't see any joy on their faces, especially some newly recruited people, although they didn't know what was going on, they still didn't dare to breathe.

"Brother Qin, this shouldn't be the same person, isn't it the strength of the second or third grade of the previous Wang, this is a half-step immortal!"

The person who spoke was Li Yao, who had made a bet with Ergou but lost, and he also said that he would invite Ergou to drink the best rice wine in Maple Leaf City!

Qin Yi pressed his temple with his hand.

"How do you know that what we see is all the strength of Senior Wang? Now that I have broken through the third grade, I can more and more understand the unfathomable depth of Senior Wang at that time!"

"Brother Qin, then according to what you say, Ergou ...... him"

Speaking of this, Li Yao suddenly seemed to be stunned on the spot as if he had been drained of his soul.

"I still owe him a meal of Huang Sanniang's rice wine! I have even saved up the wine money, so I sent him. ”

Qin Yi looked at Li Yao and comforted him.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to invite that drink, according to what we heard, that kid from Ergou should be fine, it's just that you first use the money you saved to invite Senior Wang to a bar. ”

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Li Yao immediately nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"Yes, yes! We all owe a drink to Senior Wang!"

Although Qin Yi didn't want to admit it, he also knew that Senior Wang, who was a top master but didn't have the slightest master, would never come back.

Although he knew that any kind of person in the rivers and lakes could be drowned, at this time, some grief inevitably arose in his heart, and the old man who had taught him the essentials of boxing was gone!

"Set up the wine, sacrifice the king's predecessors!"

As soon as Qin Yi's words fell, everyone set out together, and the big foot table that they usually used to drink and eat meat was wiped clean.

The people of the rivers and lakes did not want to be like those who read the same culture, so they felt that having meat to eat when they died and wine to drink was the greatest happiness, so they could not see any fruit on Wang Xuanlang's offering table, but were full of all kinds of wine, chicken, duck and fish.

Regardless of whether he had met Wang Xuanlang's master and apprentice or not, at this moment, all the people in the Justice Dart Bureau held up their wine bowls, and Qin Yi's sister Qin Xuejian was standing beside him.

"Respect!"

At this moment, all the people who had experienced that trip to Lingzhou all knelt on one knee, and Qin Yi himself knelt down directly. In his heart, he had already recognized Wang Xuanlang as his master.

......

The moonlight is like ink, and under the moon is a quiet girl admiring the moon, and the guy who made the girl fall in love with the moon has not appeared for a long time.

"Go find him!"

Qin Yi's voice came into Qin Xuejian's ears very abruptly.

"No!"

"I wanted to let you go when I was in Luochuan City, but I knew you definitely wouldn't go, and now, you don't have to worry about me, I've been able to hold up the dart game alone, what else can you rest assured?"

Qin Xuejian withdrew his eyes from looking at the moon and looked at his brother.

"I can't let go, this matter must be let Ergou come out by himself, otherwise, it will be useless to find him!"
