Chapter 73

I always had a question in my mind. The Netherworld God Sect was plotted by the Wulin Alliance. Who was the person who delivered the letter to Xu Ruonan that night?

I have only been to Jinling for a month and have not made enemies. Why did he take my name in my name? Could it be that I expressed my feelings in front of everyone at Tongshan Temple?

When they came to the street, there were people from the world everywhere. These people carried the logo of the Wulin League, took the portrait of Xu Ruonan, and looked for people everywhere to inquire. Tianlai Novels seem to be the martial arts conference to kill all the Netherworld Divine Sects.

When he arrived at the Liusanmen, Zhang Youqian told me that Zheng Tongzhi was taken away by the Jinyiwei for investigation due to suspected embezzlement. It is estimated that the prefecture of Song Dynasty recommended Zhuge Shaobing to take over as Tongzhi. It seems that the Jinling officialdom is about to encounter a change.

At this moment, Jiangnan notified us that Zhuge Shaobing was going to have a meeting. When we arrived at the Six Gates, Zhuge Shaobing was in a good mood and was singing a small song. I kept saying congratulations to Lord Zhuge. Zhuge Shaobing smiled and said, "Why are you happy?"

Zhang Youqian said, Lord Zhuge, don’t hide it. It’s been rumored outside that you are about to be promoted. Why not hold a banquet at Wanhualou at noon today to celebrate with me?

Zhuge Shaobing waved his hands repeatedly. Now is a critical period. Shangfeng is conducting an inspection of me. We are low-key and restrained. We must continue to promote the fine style of modesty and prudence, and be cautious and arrogance and impetuousness. Just treat you. Captain Su and Captain Zhang, you two are really the blessings of our officials.

I said it was thanks to the leadership training.

Zhuge Shaobing said, I heard that you were so ashamed to run Lord Gong in our prison yesterday. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly. Haha! By the way, I, Yao, next I, Yao, want to hear what you plan in the future? Do you have the confidence to take over the position of Liushuomen Chief Control?

I looked at Zhang Youqian, but I didn't know what he was selling. I opened my mouth and said, "Mr. Zhuge, that's what I plan... Before I could speak, Zhang Youqian said, "No matter what position Mr. Zhuge holds, he will always be the boss of our Six Gates. We will do whatever you say. I said yes."

Zhuge Shaobing nodded, very satisfied, and said, Xiao Su, Xiao Zhang, although Song Tongzhi recommended me, this matter will change as long as it is not settled for a day. In the future, the six doors will be handed over to you. I think so. In the past two days, I will have activities, the prefect Song and the governor of Jiangnan, and the expenses may be a bit large...

I laughed in my heart, it turned out that this guy was looking for money for us.

I said I think it's only Captain Zhang who can do this.

Zhuge Shaobing didn't say anything, and she talked about her daily work indifferently. She also said that this time, our Six Gates performed outstandingly in the spring examination in Jiangnan, and wanted to ask Lord Song for credit, etc.

When he returned to the Jianghu Department, Zhang Youqian said, "This guy wants to make money." What are you planning? I said I have no money, but I have no plans. Zhang Youqian thought about it and said that this position is very attractive, but I want to spend some money to get it done."

While chatting, the Qingyi captain Song Qian, who was in charge of Zhengming, pushed the door open. The captain Song is from Yangzhou, in his thirties, and is a little mature and capable, and has solved several major cases in a row. However, this person is a little useless to do things, and we have a bad impression of him and have no relationship on weekdays.

Zhang Youqian said what the wind blows you.

Song Qiandao, two brothers, you have been to Jinling for a month. I have been in Jinling recently and have not had the opportunity to host two of you. Why not today, I will ask you to talk to you at Baihualou?

Zhang Youqian waved his hand and said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If you have something to say, I even made an appointment with someone to drink wine. Song Gan smiled and said, Brother Zhang knew me, I really had something to do. Isn’t this Mr. Zhuge going to be promoted? Brother, I want to borrow some money from you.

I said, Lord Zhuge, why are you borrowing money?

Song Gan said, Mr. Zhuge just talked to me and recommended me to be the chief of the Six Gates. I was thinking, if I became the chief of the chief of the future, we are all our brothers. Now my brother is in trouble, you see...

Zhang Youqian asked, how much money do you want to borrow?

Song Gan stretched out one hand, 50,000 taels! I hope the two brothers can donate generously.

I stumbled, Brother Song, if there were 180 taels of silver, we could be generous. If you opened your mouth, it would be 50,000 taels. I am afraid that this bag will not be easy to solve.

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Qi, who was in charge of public security, also came. When I saw that all three departments under the six gates of Jinling had arrived. I said Captain Qi would not have come to borrow money, right? Captain Qi was stunned. How did you know?

After a few people opened their arms, it turned out that Zhuge Shaobing talked to us separately for the same thing.

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhang Youqian said unhappily, Lord Zhuge is too indifferent, it is obvious that one official sells too much. If you want me, let’s just give it to anyone, see what he should do! Song and Qi also found it incredible, and everyone reached an agreement and did not give it to him!

I also wanted to get medicine for Xu Ruonan, so I said goodbye first. When I arrived at Tongrentang, I handed over the prescription, but I was told that many Chinese medicinal materials such as Tianmu weed, Tian Qigen and other Chinese medicinal materials in the prescription were out of stock. I also replaced several major medicinal shops in the city such as Baohetang and Renxingtang, and these medicines were out of stock.

I thought it was a coincidence, so I even asked what was going on. The guy told me that two days ago, the Tianmu weed and other medicinal materials for treating internal injuries and detoxification in Jinling City were bought by the people of the Wulin League, and they also said that if anyone buys these herbs, they should communicate with the Wulin League.

Now that the Wulin League has searched for Xu Ruonan in the city, Xu Ruonan is injured and will definitely come to the pharmacy to get medicine. Why didn’t I expect this? So I bought some medicinal materials for treating headaches and burns, and covered up the matter.

When he got home, Xu Ruonan's complexion improved a lot. I told her about buying medicine, but she didn't say anything. I said that the people from the Wulin League outside were looking for you everywhere, and they would recover from the injury here in the past few days. When the injury heals, I will find a way to take you out of the city.

Xu Kaishan was poisoned. I was worried that he would be in danger. Before he could speak, Xu Ruonan took out a kitchen knife and said, "On the night we were ambushed, the two immortals of Xiaoyao escorted Xu Kaishan out of the city and headed for Jiangning."

Jiangning?

Xu Ruonan said, it is true that our Netherworld Divine Sect went to Jinling to invite Xu Kaishan to Jiangning to give a lecture on his master. Perhaps she had a way to relieve the poison of Xu Kaishan. Before leaving, Senior Xu entrusted me to hand over this heavenly sword to you and asked you to go to Yangzhou Zangjian Villa.

I asked where to go.

Xu Ruonan said you will know by then.

I nodded and you should recover your injuries first. When the Wulin League relaxes, we will go together.

In the next few days, Zhang Youqian and I went to the streets to patrol and observe the situation in the city. When I was bored, I drank with Li Muge. Of course, Zhang Youqian paid for the money. I went outside the city to get some medicine to help Xu Ruonan recover from his injuries. After a few days, he recovered well.

Zhuge Shaobing's wishful thinking did not come true, and the position of Jinling Tongzhi did not fall on him as he wished. It is said that the emperor Zhu Runze ordered a magistrate named Min from Shu to come and leave.

This incoming Tongzhi was in the county magistrate, and his position was ups and downs. He had not been promoted for 30 years. It is said that he had no political resources and could not be promoted. He was also a thorny person with a straightforward personality and offended many people.

When Zhuge Shaobing learned the news, he was so angry that he threw a Duan inkstone from the Yongle period in the study. Zhang Youqian said fortunately he didn't give the money that day, otherwise wouldn't the 50,000 taels of silver be wasted?

However, the two captains Song and Qi had a very ugly face. It is said that Captain Song went to find Zhuge Shaobing and wanted to return the money he sent out, but Zhuge Shaobing was chased for several miles with a Zhuge crossbow.

I was about to find an excuse to go to Yangzhou, but on the day of the Six Gates Competition, there was a case of the theft of archives in my hand that had not been solved. So I went to Zhuge Shaobing to ask for leave on the grounds of investigating the case in Yangzhou. Zhuge Shaobing was so sad that his fat meat flew away. He ignored me and signed without thinking.

The day of the spring exam is finally here.

Zhang Youqian and I came to Jiangnan Academy early in the morning. Li Muge was not very interested and was afraid that he would lose his reputation.

I said that since I had known this, why would I have angered Dragon Scale that day and gave the emperor a bad impression. Li Muge sighed, and it seemed that he was quite regretful.

At noon, firecrackers sounded outside, and with the sound of reports, the people were happy and sad. Zhang Youqian and I couldn't wait, so we forced Li Muge to the South Courtyard.

In the spring examination in Jiangnan, a total of 108 people were admitted on one list and posted on three red papers.

The first year of the Banghuiyuan fell into the hands of a student named Kang Youzhong in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. We looked at two 72 titles in a row, but Li Muge's name was not revealed. Li Muge was upset, and the remaining one was about to leave without even looking at it.

Zhang Youqian's sharp eyes suddenly pointed at the third Zhang Dao and was beaten! As he said that, he actually started dancing, happier than if he had been beaten by himself.

After a quick look, Li Muge's name is above the 108th place in the first list.

Li Muge's face became even more gloomy.

Zhang Youqian said this was a happy event, why did you laugh at me like you were losing your parents!

Li Muge sighed and turned around and left.

With his talent, if he hadn't hit the emperor in prison, it wouldn't be a problem to get the top spot on the list, but his personality was too straightforward. It seemed that the folding fan the emperor gave him and arranged him to be at the end of the third list would have a sense of warning him.

Some boys and idle people saw Zhang Youqian dancing and thought he was in high school, so they asked for the money for happiness. Zhang Youqian laughed and took out a handful of silver notes from his arms, which cost about a thousand taels. He sprinkled them out casually, causing a stir.

We arrived at Li Muge's room after he was satisfied. I said that no matter what, it is always a good thing to pass the imperial examination. Let's clean up and prepare for the autumn examination.

Zhang Youqian took out a thousand taels of silver bills from his arms and said, "I have nothing to give to you if you are a friend." Take these silver and prepare for the autumn trial. If it is not enough, wait until you arrive in the capital and write me a letter and I ask the housekeeper to give it to you again."

Li Muge said, how can I accept your money?

Zhang Youqian smiled and said, "I just borrowed it from you. If you become the top scholar in the future, you will be rewarded for me."

Not long after, Xie Fen, the butler of Xie Mansion in Jinling, came to invite Li Muge, saying that Xie Shiting held a banquet in the mansion to invite several students who passed the examination in this subject.

Li Muge didn't want to go, so I said Xie Xueshi would go to the capital to serve as the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, and he was also the leader of the Jiangnan literary world. At this time, I invited you to support you. When I came to the capital, I had the opportunity to be an official in the same dynasty, and I was included in the circle.
