Chapter 198: Asking for Rain

The registrar Jiao Guang was a clerk in Nanzhou Xuezheng, and his family was well-off, but because Kejia was hopeless, he spent money to donate an official. After a few years, it has also been mixed up.

Two days ago, a member of the Ministry of Rites made a letter to prevent a scholar named Sun Xu from signing up as much as possible. So today, as soon as he saw Sun Xu's household registration book, he didn't care that there was still the name of Jinhua Mansion Yin on it, and he directly drove Sun Xu out.

Although he is a foreign official, the Beijing official can't control him, but the person who gave him the text is the doorman of Cheng Poshi, the deputy envoy of the privy council. If you climb this relationship, it will not be a problem for you to soar in the future.

As for the Sun family, just one mansion Yin, can it still turn the sky upside down?

Seeing that the matter had subsided, Jiao Guang registered the information of the scholar for a while, felt a little tired, called someone to replace him, and walked out slowly to breathe.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xuezheng Lin Ming walking in with an unkind face.

Although Jiao Guang didn't know why Lin Ming was unhappy, he didn't dare to be rude when he saw him coming in his direction, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Why did Yi Xuezheng go and return?"

Lin Ming's face immediately turned dark, and he said angrily: "Jiao Guang, you are also an official of the imperial court, how can you do this in this matter?

Jiao Guang sighed in his heart when he heard this, thinking that he had been accused of forcing the scholar to pay the money, and he was uneasy in his heart, and he laughed and defended: "What the lord said, the lower official really doesn't understand what he means, isn't it that Xuezheng listened to whose slander and misunderstood the lower official?"

Lin Ming sneered, pointed at Sun Xu behind him, and said, "This is my Lin family's Engong, how dare you deceive him like this?

When Jiao Guang heard this, his saluting arms shook, and his heart was suddenly startled, and his feet were a little softened in fright.

Who is Lin Ming? He is not an ordinary official, his family was the founder when the country was founded, and the descendants of the generals were famous in the court, even the emperor of the Wu Dynasty had to buy their Lin family's thin noodles, but in the later generations, the people were thin, and the descendants were no longer specialized in martial arts. In Lin Ming's father, Lin Yi's generation, there was only one heir to Lin Ming, and he also let him learn Chinese.

Later, Lin Yi died on the battlefield, and the veterans of the DPRK and China were all embarrassed and took good care of Lin Ming. In addition, Lin Ming is also angry, different from ordinary official eunuchs, he is upright, his official reputation is excellent, and the veterans take more care of Lin Ming's nephew.

Therefore, although Lin Ming is only a state student, no one in the state dares not to buy his face.

Jiao Guang hadn't climbed Cheng Poshi's relationship at this time, he was just a mere official, how could he dare to go against the Lin family? Don't dare to slack off, the text has already been thrown out of his head, and he hurriedly staggered into the house, took out Sun Xu's household registration book and handed it over, and he didn't even dare to look at Sun and Lin with his head down the whole time.

Lin Ming looked at him like that, and said angrily: "Where is the master book?

Sun Xu listened, silently put away the household registration book, and did not go up to stop it.

How can such a moth allow him to continue to be free here? As for why he had to deal with himself, if you think about it, you will understand, someone must have instructed him, otherwise, how could a mere official dare to embarrass a scholar on the right path in broad daylight?

As for the person behind him, Sun Xu didn't want to know.

After dealing with that person, Lin Chaoming Sun Xu arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the things that Engong sent home, there is no way to repay it, but it also makes Engong suffer some anger in my place, and he is panicking!"

Lin Ming is the son of Lin Yi, the ghost general that Sun Xu met in the mansion.

When Sun Xu saw him, he knew something, so he didn't say anything, let the soldiers set him up, and waited for Lin Ming to come out.

Lin Ming was a little unhappy at the beginning when he was stopped by Sun Xu at the door, thinking that this scholar was not convinced and wanted to sue. But when Sun Xu took out his family heirloom iron card and reported that he was the son of Yin of Jinhua Mansion, the unhappiness in his heart had long since disappeared, but he was a little ashamed.

Sun Bin has a very high prestige in Shilin, and Lin Ming also read Sun Bin's masterpiece in his early years, and has always been a mentor and friend. It's just that the two have different governance, and he can't communicate in person.

"Why did Xuezheng say this, it was just a chance to get this thing. Sun Xu said.

Lin Ming got this iron medal just now and didn't think much about it. At this time, the mood calmed down a little, and suddenly had some thoughts, and he sighed lightly in confusion, and asked: "Engong, my father died on the battlefield, and this iron plate is gone." Dare to ask, how did the gentleman get it......?

Sun Xu smiled, stared at Lin Ming, and asked rhetorically, "Xuezheng, can you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?"

Lin Ming said without hesitation: "Although the saint says that he respects ghosts and gods and stays away, but there is nothing in the world, and it has already been encountered, how can he force it to say that there is nothing?"

Sun Xu nodded slightly with some appreciation. It is not difficult for people to learn well, but the difficult thing is not to become nerds and not to stick to the old ways.

So, Sun Xu asked Lin Ming to take him to a secluded place and told Lin Ming about the section where he met Lin Yi.

After listening carefully, Lin Ming muttered, "This kind of thing is really unheard of. Grace is really a man of God. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Ming suddenly thought that Sun Xu's business had not yet been completed, so he went to register him in person. Sun Xu now has the qualifications to go to Beijing, and when the date of the examination arrives next year, he can go to Beijing to take the examination with the certificate of the academic administration.

Seeing that the business was done, Lin Ming asked with some expectation, "I don't know if Engong can know how to use spells?" Although he listened to Sun Xu's story, Sun Xu didn't talk about his demon subjugation.

"I understand a little bit. ”

"That'...... Can Engong ask for rain?"

"Yes, yes, but I've never used it, I don't know the effect. ”

When Lin Ming heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Since this is the case, there is a reluctant invitation below." There has been a drought near the state city for a long time this year, and if there is no rain, I am afraid that this year's winter seedlings will all die of drought. Since Engong can ask for rain, why not show mercy?"

Sun Xu immediately asked the doubts in his heart: "Since there is a drought, why don't you divert water for irrigation?

"As Engong said, how can we and other state officials not know that once we entrust the ghosts and gods, can we entrust the ghosts and gods with everything? It's just that we have mobilized the people several times to divert water for irrigation, but each time the water diversion will fail for various reasons. Ay...... I can't wait for me to believe it. Lin Ming said bitterly.

"When I came, I heard that you had already found someone to ask for rain, so why did you invite me?"

Lin Ming hurriedly shook his head and said, "Although he found that person, but that person has a festival with the state assassin history, and he must be shown to him by officials of all sizes in the city, so he is willing to do it, and he also wants eight children as sacrifices!

"Didn't the state officials send it right?"

"If there is a problem with the winter seedlings this year, then if there is a civil unrest next year, more people will die. It's better for a family to cry than for a family to cry. ”

Sun Xu pondered for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go with you." ”
