The old man nodded appreciatively and said, "You are very talented, and your mind is smart enough, not bad!

As he spoke, the old man took out something from his arms and threw it in front of Qiu Ze.

"It's a holy decree, but it doesn't contain any content, and I want you to promise me one thing, and if you do, you can write what you want to write on it. ”

Qiu Ze was shocked, hurriedly picked up the holy decree on the ground, looked at it repeatedly, and after confirming that it was the true holy decree, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the old man in surprise.

Could it be that he is the current saint? Qiu Ze shook his head, although he had never seen the emperor, but the emperor wanted to summon him, it was impossible for him to be in this remote courtyard, and the age of the current saint was only the year of his establishment, and the old man in front of him seemed to be at least fifty years old, but the holy decree was true, who was this old man?

The old man saw Qiu Ze's doubts, and said lightly: "Don't guess, there are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who know my identity, this holy decree is true, what you write on it, naturally someone will do what you wrote." ”

Qiu Ze's heart jumped wildly, he could write whatever he wanted, but writing the holy decree was the emperor's exclusive privilege!

After calming down, Qiu Ze didn't pick up the pen, but asked, "I don't know what the old gentleman wants me to do?"

The old man's eyes lit up: "You kid, the opportunity for revenge is still so calm in front of you, okay, I want you...... How about being my apprentice?"

Qiu Ze was stunned and looked at the old man with an expectant face: "You, you want me to be your apprentice?"

"That's right, as long as you agree to be my apprentice, this holy decree is yours. ”

Qiu Ze sighed, and the old man hurriedly asked, "Why? No? Do you know that no matter what you write, I can help you do everything except being the emperor! Is this kind of bargaining chip not enough for you to be my disciple?"

Qiu Ze slowly put down the holy decree: "Old gentleman's kindness, Qiu Ze has thanked you first, I can promise other things, even if you want to take my life, I won't blink an eye!

The old man's indifferent face also showed an incredible expression: "Why?"

"Although I don't know who the old gentleman is, he must be a noble person, a person who can help me take revenge, but, old gentleman, I'm really sorry, I already have a master, although I haven't officially apprenticed to him, but I have promised him, so I can't promise the old gentleman anymore. ”

"Oh, someone took you before me and took you in?" When the old man heard this, his tone showed regret, and then he let out a sigh: "Well, since I have already agreed to others, it is not reasonable to be my disciple again, it's just that, it seems that my broken temple has nothing to do with you." ”

Qiu Ze sighed and said, "Does the old gentleman have any other needs? In addition to being a disciple, I can satisfy you, as long as you can help me take revenge." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, but I haven't thought about it yet, the holy decree is in front of you, you write it, after you finish writing, someone will send you back, you stay in the city for a while, I will send someone to find you." ”

With that, the old man turned and walked out of the door.

Qiu Ze picked up the pen, knelt in front of the holy decree, and wrote down the anger buried in his heart word by word:

Tang Congwen, the prefect of Su Prefecture, and Wang Nanquan, a warden of Su Prefecture, were corrupt and perverted the law and abused their powers, and killed all the innocent Qiu Qitian and dozens of old servants of Wu County a month ago! Heaven does not tolerate it, and the law of the country does not tolerate it! Order: The flying pigeon sent a message to Nanzhili, ordering Jinyiwei to go to Su Mansion to arrest and bring them to justice, and immediately behead them! The rest of the accomplices will be punished according to the law of the country!

By the time he finished writing, Akisawa had already burst into tears.

Father, Uncle Wu, do you see your heavenly spirits?

————

When he came back from the palace, it was almost dusk, Qiu Ze returned to the restaurant, the melancholy and grief of the past month disappeared, he looked at the prosperous and rich capital, and couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Yin didn't return to the restaurant, he went to the place of fireworks again, drunk and singing, looked at the scholars who were talking to each other, took the wine jug and laughed and stepped on the highest place.

"You don't have to fight anymore, I, Tang Yin, must be the champion of today's department, hahahaha!!"

————

Soon, in less than a month, the list was released, but no matter how people looked for it, they couldn't find Tang Yin's name.

It's night.

In the room, Qiu Ze was holding a book in his hand and reading intently, and said without raising his head: "It's on the list, why don't you go and take a look?"

Tang Yin, who was full of alcohol, lay on the bed on all fours, and said vaguely: "Look, look at a fart! The most difficult question, I have made a perfect answer, those nerds, how can they answer it? Think with your feet, Lao Tzu is also a Huiyuan! Next, it is the palace test, champion, is waiting for me! Hahaha!"

Xu Jing on the side smiled faintly: "Oh, Brother Tang is so determined? ”

Tang Yin just smiled and didn't speak, in his opinion, even if Xu Jing could answer, he was afraid that his answer would not be perfect.

At this time, there was an uproar in the restaurant, and after a while, the door of the room was kicked open.

Dozens of people with torture tools walked in, and the leaders swept around the room, and ordered their subordinates to tie up Xu Jing and Tang Yin, the two were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what happened, so they were forcibly escorted out of the room by several people.

The man walked up to Qiu Ze: "You are Qiu Ze, come with me, someone wants to see you." ”

Xin Yibo quietly stretched his hand to his waist, Tang Yin and Xu Jing were taken away, he was not so panicked, but if he wanted to take away his disciples, he would definitely not stand idly by.

Qiu Ze glanced at Xin Yibo and shook his head: "You just wait for me here, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

The man made a respectful gesture of please, and Akisawa got up and walked out.

Xin Yibo didn't know what medicine was sold in Qiu Ze's gourd, but he was relieved to see that he was not tied up, but he was still a little uneasy, his body changed, and he came to the roof and followed from a distance.

Dozens of people were divided into two groups, and with a dozen people from Qiu Ze, they galloped in the direction of the palace, Xin Yibo paused, frowned, and then hid his breath and quietly climbed the wall of the palace.

————

"You're here. ”

"I'm coming. ”

Qiu Ze came to the remote courtyard of the palace again, and the old man nodded, raised his hand, and pointed to the table beside him.

On the table, there are two wooden boxes.

Qiu Ze walked to the table, his raised hand trembled slightly, he opened the wooden box, and after a moment, turned around and knelt down in front of the old man.

"Thank you, sir. ”

The old man smiled and helped him up.

"You don't have to thank me, I'm not just here to help you, don't forget, you have to do something for me. ”

"That's what the gentleman commanded. ”

"Good. The old man sat on the chair next to him: "I want you to help me do three things, but now I haven't figured out what I want you to do, and now you don't have the strength to help me do things, when the time comes, I will naturally look for you, you go." ”

"Old gentleman...... I have one more thing I need your help with. ”

The old man's brows furrowed: "Oh? ”

"Tang Yin and I are good friends, although he is frivolous, but he is a learned genius, maybe you don't know him, but I don't believe that he used improper means in the meeting, the state has national laws, I naturally will not intercede for him, but such a genius, but was splashed with dirty water, it is really a loss for the Ming Dynasty. ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you, but this matter has too much impact, and I can at most keep him from dying, but if you want to step into the official career, it is impossible." ”

"Don't step into the official career again?" Hmph, with his temperament, I'm afraid he doesn't bother to step into the official career, he is a free fish, and the rules and regulations in the officialdom can't restrain him,' Qiu Ze thought to himself, stopped talking, and turned around and walked out of the room.
