Li Xi, the king of Jin, had a banquet in the Star Picking Building, and in addition to Song Jinhua, there was also the young Kang Youren of Shuzhong Kangmen.

Speaking of which, there is also a past in between......

It turned out that since the accident of Li Zhi, the king of Chu, Kang Youren has lost his attachment in Chang'an City. For a long time, he wandered the streets of Chang'an City like a lonely ghost, not knowing what to do next.

He traveled thousands of miles from the southwest border to the capital city of Chang'an, and was originally ordered by his father to go north to Tianbao Pavilion to propose marriage. Anyway, although Murong Yuanshan, the master of Tianbao Pavilion, accepted his gift, he didn't say a word about the marriage, it seems that even if he wants to be someone's son-in-law, he may not be willing to agree to be his father-in-law. Kang Youren had no choice but to leave and go out.

It's just that on the day of the proposal, Kang Youren once accidentally glimpsed the side of Murong Yan, the eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion, and just under this side, he was shocked! After he left Tianbao Pavilion, he thought of Murong Yan's fairy-like delicate face in his heart. Murong Yan smiled, raised her hand and gestured...... Every night almost made him sleepless, and at that time he secretly decided in his heart that he would not marry Murong Yan in this life!

However, Kang Youren's trip north to Chang'an can be said to be extremely unlucky. First at the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference, Qin Gufeng, who was nicknamed "Sha Wujing", broke his tendon with a sword, and his martial arts were all wasted from then on. At that time, he fled for his life in a hurry, and even lost the two Wending gifts that he had hidden on the big ship.

Before leaving, his father Kang Guangyang once told him that after he met Murong Yuanshan, he would first present the first gift of proposing, and the first gift was "Miscellaneous Notes". This book is a strange book of faces, fate, Kang Guangyang obtained it by chance, he heard that Murong Yuanshan, the lord of the Treasure Pavilion that day, was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a master of physiognomy, and this book of fate was useless to himself, so he asked his eldest son to take it to Murong Yuanshan.

According to Kang Guangyang's advice, this second gift could only be presented with both hands after Murong Yuanshan agreed to this family business. It's just that this second gift is too precious, it is a poison-removing holy object that is coveted by fellow martial arts practitioners - the Five Poison Beads, and this spirit bead can also be called the treasure of his "Shuzhong Kangmen". This time, Kang Guangyang did not hesitate to spend his blood in order to tie up the big tree of Tianbao Pavilion.

With Kang Guangyang's wishful thinking at that time, the Five Poison Beads, as a gift of Wending, would naturally fall into Murong Yan's hands. Murong Yan has become the eldest daughter-in-law of his Kang family, and one day after entering the Kangmen in Shuzhong, the spirit bead will also return to the hands of the Kangmen. Of course, even if Murong Yuanshan refuses to return the pearl privately, he can form a family with one of the three pavilions in the world, in the heart of the head of the Kang family, it is much more cost-effective than a five poison bead.

Unexpectedly, Kang Youren was careless and lost all these two gifts. The photo book is just a good one, but these five poisonous beads, which are the things that his father hesitated for a long time before he could bear to cut his love. If his father knew that he had not been able to get a commission, he had lost this treasure of Kangmen for no reason. The head of the Kang family had to skin him with his own hands!

Therefore, Kang Youren did not dare to go home, and he also coveted Murong Yan, so he rented a house in Chang'an, and lived in the largest city in Shenzhou with his two personal maidservants.

Who knows, Kang Youren had just settled down in Chang'an City, and it didn't take long for this second blow to follow. His two personal maids, Ah Zhu and Ah Ju, were arrested for some reason. He searched hard, although he found clues in the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion and killed all the more than 20 family members in the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, but he still failed to find his two maidservants.

After that, Kang Youren searched the whole city like crazy, but still failed to find the slightest news of Ah Zhu and Ah Ju. These two maidservants have grown up with him since childhood, and have had a family-like relationship with him, and they are also their two concubines who have already been set in Kangmen. Now, he suddenly lost his two future concubines, how can he swallow this breath in his heart?

What Kang Youren didn't expect was that he finally climbed the high branch of the King of Chu, and he was thinking in his heart that after he would one day ascend to the sky, he would go to Murong Yuanshan to propose marriage, and the other party might see that he was in a high position, and it was not necessary to marry his daughter to him. However, there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and when the party of the King of Chu was flourishing, it was suddenly blown by a gust of wind. Overnight, the king of Chu was imprisoned, and all the cronies and subordinates related to the king of Chu were also arrested, chopped and chopped, and there were a few lucky ones left, and the best ending was to remove the official and degrade them to civilians.

Naturally, Kang Youren was originally a commoner, and he had no official to degrade, and furthermore, King Han and Shen Huan, who handled the case of King Chu, did not count Kang Youren as a party of King Chu. Because of this, Kang Youren escaped by luck, and he was not affected by any strains in the case of King Chu.

After the big tree of King Chu was uprooted overnight, Kang Youren was indignant in his heart. After careful investigation, he found that what knocked down the tall tower of the King of Chu was actually an insignificant piece of rubble at the base of the tower.

The cause of all the incidents turned out to be the case of Zhao Xiaogang, the son of Zhao Yong, the squire of the military department, who stabbed Wang Xiping to death. Coupled with Zhao Xiaogang's two personal maidservants who had kidnapped him before, counting these new and old hatreds together, how could Kang Youren not grit his teeth with hatred for Zhao Xiaogang!

So, after Kang Youren found out the route of Zhao Yong's family's exile, he set up an ambush on the side of Bashan Mountain, dozens of miles away from Chang'an. He originally planned to punish only Zhao Xiaogang, but at that time, he saw Zhao Xiaogang's pitiful appearance of being blind, but he changed his mind on the spot, and just killed Zhao Yong on the spot, and at the same time broke Zhao Xiaogang's hamstrings under his knees. He wanted Zhao Xiaogang to live, to live in endless painful torture......

Why did Kang Youren hate Zhao Xiaogang like this? Robbing his two future wives is secondary, the most important thing, because of Zhao Xiaogang's case, the King of Chu has fallen, and he has also lost a huge backer since then, naturally, it also made him take the opportunity to get close to Tianbao Pavilion and impress the dream of the future father-in-law, which was shattered!

According to Kang Youren's character, he will come up with ten thousand vicious methods for those he hates deeply, and torture them with the most cruel and painful torture in the world.

As Kang Youren expected, Zhao Xiaogang has lost his eyes, and was picked by Kang Youren to break his hamstrings, his father died on the spot, and his mother killed herself.

However, no matter how viciously Kang Youren punished Zhao Xiaogang, it would have been useless. Since the fall of the King of Chu, he has been wandering the streets of Chang'an all day long, the whole person is confused and has nothing to do, until his third uncle Kang Guangben came to Chang'an.

Kang Guangben came to Chang'an this time, and it was in the name of the head of the family that he came to look for Kang Youren. Since this young man of the Kang family left Shuzhong, it has been half a year in the blink of an eye, seeing that Kang Youren has not returned for a long time, and there is no letter coming, Kang Guangyang has to send his third brother to the north again, and he must ask for news.

Kang Youren didn't dare to hide it, and he had been on good terms with the third uncle since he was a child, so he simply took him all the way north, and everything he encountered until today was told the truth. Odd book e-book

Kang Guangben saw that the matter had come to this point, and some things were irretrievable, and the only thing that could be recovered was the relationship between Kang Youren and Murong Yan. He understands the temper of his second brother, as long as Kang Youren can complete the big matter of marrying Tianbao Pavilion, the rest can be fooled. If this family affair is not successful, don't say that the loss of the maidservant girl and the loss of people at the demon hunting conference, just the loss of the five poison beads is enough to kill Kang Youren!

At that moment, Kang Guang had made a plan to Kang Youren and ordered him to seek refuge with King Jin. After some analysis, Kang Guangben believes that although the king of Chu has fallen, the momentum of the king of Jin is in full swing. I heard that this eighth prince is gentle and elegant, and he is a virtuous corporal, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, and this King of Jin has a very good foundation in the court, and there are countless ministers attached to him by the party, and even there are sects in the rivers and lakes that are attached to the King of Jin. If the old emperor Bintian ascends the throne by King Jin in the future, the benefits of the Kang family will naturally be indispensable.

Later, in order to cheer up this nephew, Kang Guangben comforted him and said that as long as he followed the King of Jin to do things, if the King of Jin ascended the throne in the future, once he ascended to heaven, even if Murong Yuanshan still refused to agree to the marriage, if he could use his official position to do a few things that were greatly beneficial to Kangmen, maybe his father would be able to open up to him.

Kang Guangben took advantage of the influence of Kangmen's various rudders in the north, and used various relations between the DPRK and China, and finally paved a road for Kang Youren to approach the King of Jin.

At that time, Li Xi, the king of Jin, was recruiting talents from all walks of life for his own use. He saw that Kang Youren was a young Kang in Shu, and he also had the skills of poisoning and concealing weapons, so he immediately listed Kang Youren as a guest.

After getting along for a month, Li Ci felt that Kang Youren was a rare genius. Today, when he was in a good mood, he took his two "love generals" to eat in this star-picking building.

But if it is true, it is only Song Jinhua who really has weight in Li Ci's heart. The reason why he chose to let Kang Youren accompany him was mainly to envelop him, and in Li Ci's heart, he felt that a talent like Kang Youren would one day be of great use!

......

At this moment, after the three of them sat in the "Morning Wind Pavilion" and ate wine and food for a while, Li Xi asked Song Jinhua again:

"Jinhua, how have you been doing in the Criminal Department in the past two days?"

Song Jinhua replied: "After His Highness promoted me to three levels in a row, now everyone in the Criminal Department knows that I am His Highness's person, and who dares to offend me......?"

Li Ci immediately asked: "What's wrong with Cheng Kezhong? He relied on his father to be valued by his father, so he relied on the old man and betrayed the old, embarrassing you?"

Song Jinhua hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's not true! Lord Cheng is a little hard-tempered, and he treats his subordinates at every turn, but I have been with Lord Cheng for half a month, and my relationship with him has finally improved......

Li Ci smiled and patted Song Jinhua on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Jinhua, it's hard for you, this 'Cheng Buxing' is famous for being difficult! I heard that the previous Huang Chaodong had to serve him carefully every day, but even so, he still had to be trained by that 'Cheng Buxing' three times a day!"

Song Jinhua smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Master Cheng and I have been getting along quite well in the past few days, but it's just ......" He suddenly showed a trace of worry on his face.

"What's it?" Li Ci took a piece of the famous "fried venison with shrimp" in the Star Picking Building, and asked casually while chewing.

Song Jinhua replied: "Your Highness, Jinhua was just a head of the household department from the sixth grade last year, and at the end of the year, he was just promoted to the official of the criminal department. Jinhua is only thirty-one years old this year, and he has suddenly risen to a fourth-grade official position, Jinhua is just worried that in the future, if I misbehave, it will affect His Highness's reputation......"

According to the official system of big cadres, the criminal department has one Shangshu, three ranks, the general head of the whole office, one squire, three ranks, and the coordination of the general head of the whole office, and two Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department, with the rank of the fourth grade, serving as the assistant of the Shangshu, and two members of the criminal department, and two members of the criminal department, with the rank of the fourth rank, serving as the assistant of the squire.

Song Jinhua had just been promoted to the five-rank criminal department in the official examination at the end of the year with "outstanding talent and outstanding reputation". He has not been in office for more than a month in the Criminal Department, just because after the fall of King Chu, with Xiao Yihong being arrested and beheaded, there was almost a major purge in the Criminal Department, and many official positions were vacant again. Therefore, Li Ci, the king of Jin, once again recommended Song Jinhua to serve as Langzhong of the Criminal Department.

So, in just two months, Song Jinhua was promoted from a sixth-grade household head to five levels in a row, and was promoted to the fourth-grade criminal department.

Of course, the top and bottom of the Criminal Department, and even other officials in the court, have already heard that this Song Jinhua is a cadre under the King of Jin, and if there is no recommendation from the King of Jin, who can have such a speed of promotion? Yes, under the pressure of such public opinion, Song Jinhua will inevitably feel a little uneasy in his heart......

When Li Ci, the king of Jin, heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table and said disapprerovingly:

"Jinhua, this king has only promoted you by three levels, what is this?!Look at that Xu Ke......" Li Ciwu pointed out the window, as if Xu Ke was standing in front of the window at this time, and he didn't have a good breath:

"This person is younger than you, isn't he? And just now he was a prisoner under the ranks, and somehow, he was appointed by his father as a fourth-grade thousand-household!
