The old and the young looked at each other and smiled. Xu Pu continued: "There are many smart people these days, but not many people can understand advancement and retreat. What's your name?"

Xu Zhenqing looked at this old guy with sharp eyes. If he hadn't seen the cold light in the other person's eyes just now, he wouldn't have dared to drag everything out. He stood up and said respectfully: "I'm Xu Zhenqing."

"Xu Zhenqing? A good name." Xu Pu sighed and said, "Do you want to be an official?"

Want to be an official... Xu Zhenqing has been studying for more than ten years, of course he wants to be an official. The old man in front of him is a cabinet minister. If he recommends him, he can really not have to participate in the next imperial examination and go directly to the officialdom! It is not difficult for anyone to squeeze into the door of the six ministers. For this old man who has been in the court for decades, almost half of his court has been his wings after three dynasties.

But if he accepts Xu Pu's kindness, his future career will be tied to a boat by Xu Pu.

Xu Zhenqing quickly calculated the powerful relationship.

"What are you thinking!" Xu Pu's eyes looked like a torch.

Xu Zhenqing came back to his senses and saw Xu Pu's gaze shiver, but after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhen Qing appreciates the kindness of the elder, but he still wants to be an official in the imperial examination! If the elder recommends it in one fell swoop, even if I become an official, I will inevitably be verbal."

"You go." Xu Pu stopped looking at Xu Zhenqing after saying that.

When Xu Pu was the only one left in the lobby of the mansion, he quietly looked at the chessboard. The chess pieces that Xu Zhenqing fell. Unconsciously, he realized that the layout of the chess pieces of Xu Zhenqing was particularly strange. When he looked at him carefully, he smiled, and his old face showed wrinkles with his smile.

"This guy turned out to be asking this husband, but in fact I had lost a long time ago!"

He kept serving the servants and whispered: "Sir, how dare this kid..."

Xu Pu waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Young people are a little arrogant, and it is inevitable that they will make mistakes! Let him go."

"Yes!" the servant said unwillingly.

When he walked out of the Xu Mansion, Xu Zhenqing came to the bustling streets of the capital. He felt very uneasy! Xu Pu's eyes were always lingering in his mind, and his eyes were like a hungry wolf staring at the prey.

As I walked along the way, I watched the leaves falling under the autumn wind, and suddenly I thought of Tang Bohu! I remember that when I came to the capital from Jiangnan, Tang Bohu was also surrounded by enemies, and he still bit the bullet and stood firm in the officialdom. Xu Zhenqing inexplicably admired Tang Bohu.

When he arrived at a restaurant, Xu Zhenqing was about to eat something.

When I saw a guest waiter, I hurried forward, "What should I eat?"

Xu Zhenqing: "Give a pot of wine, a pot of beef, and a pot of stir-fry."

The waiter took notes one by one, and then quietly said to Xu Zhenqing: "This guest official, have you provoked someone?"

Seeing the other party's confused gaze, the waiter whispered in a direction with his eyes and said in a low voice: "This guest official, look at the tables at the door. They also followed him from the guest official. These people were sitting there without calling food."

Xu Zhenqing looked sideways with his eyes and saw that there were indeed a few people behind him. With a flash of light, he saw the swords on the waists of these people.

The waiter was busy going to the kitchen to order food, and Xu Zhenqing threw down a few pieces of silver on the table and turned around and left.

Sure enough! The other party followed again.

Who is targeting me? Xu Zhenqing asked in his heart that it was Xu Pu's person? Jinyiwei? Dongchang? His pace accelerated, and the other party followed closely.

Walking out of the city gate of the capital, Xu Zhenqing pretended to pick up things on the ground, and looked sideways to see the people following him all the way.

The feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. Where did these people follow me? Hesitated and uneasy in my heart. Xu Zhenqing thought of a place and then changed direction in a few steps.

Walking on the hidden path outside the capital, several people following Xu Zhenqing taught each other's eyes, and touched the sharp sword light on their waists and deshewned out bit by bit.

At the same time, a team of people appeared on the trail. Xu Zhenqing saw the other party coming forward as if he had seen a reinforcement and shouted loudly: "Brother Yan."

"Xu Zhenqing!" Yan Song smiled loudly when he saw the visitor. At this moment, he was leading a group of people to measure the land.

Several killers who followed Xu Zhenqing immediately turned around and left when they saw someone picking him up.

When he turned around and saw the few people following him leaving, Xu Zhenqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Brother Yan, for your kindness in saving you."

"Those people are the Dongchang's men!" Yan Song explained: "These days, Dongchang has been taking people everywhere, and all the people arrested are people related to Xu Pu."

"Dongchang?" Xu Zhenqing understood after just thinking about it, "It seems that Xu Pu is about to fall."

After a while, Xu Zhenqing felt something was wrong and asked, "The East Factory has never made any statement. I don't know who is in the capital. How do you know?"

Yan Song smiled and said, "Lord Tang built a mu of three-point land here. Although he is in Liaodong, he has strict protection for his own home. Since he is close to the capital, Lord Tang has a spy in the capital. As long as there is any movement, we will naturally know."

Xu Zhenqing nodded and accepted this explanation.

Yan Song continued, "Don't worry! The people from Dongchang will never come to Tangzhuang to get people."

"Why!"

"Because the current admiral of Dongchang is He Ding! Even if the people of Dongchang dare to conquer the world, they will not touch Tangzhuang."

Xu Zhenqing asked inconscientiously: "Tang Bohu has left a backup plan? Let the East Factory play a slut in the arms of the rat?"

"No! It's because He Ding can't! He doesn't dare to offend Tang Bohu!" Yan Song said as he walked: "You come to the capital late, you may not know some things. This He Ding has a deep friendship with us Lord Tang."

Nodding, Xu Zhenqing saw a group of people following Yan Song and asked unconsciously: "What are you doing here?"

"There are more and more workers in the factory. We are measuring the land if we want to expand?" Yan Song said, looking at the flat terrain: "We plan to buy this place."

Seeing Yan Song being busy, Xu Zhenqing didn't want to interrupt him and said hurriedly: "I'll go see Wen Zhengming and don't bother Brother Yan."

Yan Song nodded, not knowing whether it was the answer to the workers behind him or to answer himself, Xu Zhenqing turned around and walked towards Tangzhuang. After walking out of this tree-lined path, he suddenly realized Tangzhuang. There are families where chickens and dogs are heard, bookshops that read aloud, and factories that are booming.

"I dare to ask if it's Xu Zhenqing?" A young man came to him.

"Are you?" Xu Zhenqing said in confusion.

"In the lower king Shouren."
