Although the provincial examination was held on the ninth day of the eighth month, Jiang Anyi and Guo Huaili came to Wenping Mansion early on July 18th. In Guo Huaili's words, it would be better to have a reputation.

They still lived in the Liansheng Inn. They had money, so they booked a small courtyard and closed the door. The sound of "Zhihuzhe" coming and going couldn't get into their ears, which was considered a quiet place in the midst of the noise.

Inside the room, Guo Huaili took off his shirtless, shook the big paper fan, and said to Jiang Anyi: "Xiao Jiang, if it weren't for you, my brother would not suffer this. How comfortable it would be to stay in the house in this hot day."

Jiang Anyi really wanted to roll his eyes. It was obvious that you were trying to follow him in vain, but he blamed me. However, Jiang Anyi knew that this brother was just unforgivable and was really concerned about him. He knew that he was a lucky general. With his cheers, he would definitely follow him in high school.

Guo Huaili said: "Xiao Jiang, I brought a box of white paper fans when I come here. You have a good handwriting. If you have time, write 'the osmanthus falls' and the 'boat is horizontal' on the fan. By the way, the song "Dian Jiang Lip" you made in Anyang Palace must be written. Brother, I want to make friends with poetry. First, I will make a name for you, and second, I will let people know that I, Guo Shixian, is Jiang Shixian's brother, and also help our bamboo fan to promote it."

Speaking of the rise, Guo Huaili also pinched his voice and sang a few lines of "Shaoyin, two lines of red sleeves, and we all advised Changsheng to drink", which made Jiang Anyi's cold hair grow tall.

Guo Huaili's idea was very effective. The news that Jiang Cixian came to the provincial examination soon came to Wenping Mansion. The song of Anping Prince's Mansion was amazing. The name of Cixian was widely spread. It was a beautiful thing that scholars had always dreamed of to impress the ministers and ministers with their poems. How could such a celebrity not make friends? It would also increase their reputation when they talked to others.

All the people who visited were blocked by Guo Huaili. They wanted to eat, drink, and accompany the fat man, recite poems, and speak in brothels. They also wanted to accompany the fat man. There was no way, so Jiang Anyi quietly left Liansheng Inn and found a home to study quietly from afar.

Zhang Mansion. Zhang Hongchong came back from outside, called Zhang Bo in to his room, and asked in a daze: "Do you know Jiang Anyi?"

Zhang Bojin was stunned. How could his father know Jiang Anyi's name? He simply told Jiang Anyi about Jiang Anyi's situation. Zhang Hongchong thought with a calm face for a long time and said, "Now Wenping Mansion is in the sacred fairy Jiang Anyi came to participate in the provincial examination. He talked about the story of his song in the Anyang Prince's Mansion that he could impress the prince. He said that with his talent, he could definitely be a high school student. This is to raise hope. In comparison, not many people, Jin'er, know. In this way, it will be difficult for Yi'er to win the Jieyuan."

Zhang Bojin gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "This person is the nemesis of my destiny. I will always be destroyed by others when I do anything. It's hateful that he was not killed in Canglan Ridge that time."

"What?" Zhang Hongchong was shocked and stared at his son with wide eyes.

Zhang Bojin didn't dare to tell his father about this. Now he was leaking his words and dared not hide it. He had to tell him and Qin Haiming about killing Jiang Anyi in detail.

"Bang", a loud slap hit Zhang Bojin hard on the face, and Zhang Bojin knelt in front of his father. Zhang Hongchong pointed at Zhang Bojin with a trembling finger, "You are so bold, you dare to kill someone. You don't want to live."

"The child was stunned for a moment. After listening to Qin Haiming's words, he did something he regretted."

He stood up and went out the door to look around. He found that there was no one. Zhang Hongchong closed the door and lowered his voice: "Beast, you don't tell your father if you do this. Once the incident happens, you can't do anything to do even if you are a father."

Zhang Hongchong was pacing back and forth in the room quickly. Zhang Bojin didn't dare to disturb his father's thoughts, so he quietly moved to the corner and waited for his father to speak.

After a long time, Zhang Hongchong stopped and said coldly: "If I had known, I wouldn't have let Qin Haiming go. He would have lost everything after he died. It's all your fault that you, the beast, didn't tell me earlier." Zhang Bojin didn't dare to say anything. Since his father said that Qin Haiming was just a small incident, Qin Haiming has never appeared again. Zhang Bojin didn't dare to ask his father what method he used to make Qin Haiming dare not to pester again.

"Jiang Anyi must not stay. This kid is a disaster. Once he knows about Canglanling, it will be extremely unfavorable to you." Zhang Hongkong kicked Zhang Bojin with his legs and shouted, "Get out, you can read at home with peace of mind. The matter between Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi will be solved by his father."

When Zhang Bowen left, Zhang Hongchong sat at the table and thought for a long time, got up and took out the IOU from the secret wall on the bed, put it in his arms, and left the house.

It was already dark outside, and the lanterns of the shop illuminated the streets. Zhang Hongchong walked in a hurry in the darkness. With a stick of incense, he came to the door of a large mansion. After a while, someone welcomed him into the house and came to the guest host in the house to sit down. The interior of the house was decorated in gorgeous ways, with ice basins placed in the corners, which was cool.

"Brother Zhang is here to visit at night, I wonder what advice?" The owner was dressed gorgeously, with a tender complexion, and his carefully decorated short beards were dark and shiny under the candlelight. The maid presented iced sour plum soup, and the white jade bowl was decorated with crystal water droplets, which made people's appetite burst out.

Zhang Hongchong was not in a hurry to speak, first took a sip of sour plum soup, which was sour and refreshing, and the heat was gone. The master slowly and quietly swayed his beard, and the two maids beside him shook their palm-leaf fans. The breeze came gently, like a god among immortals. Zhang Hongchong showed his eyes, and the master understood, waved his hand, and the servant standing in the house left quietly.

Zhang Hongchong took out a note from his arms and handed it to the owner, saying, "Brother Jingshan, please ask me if you have something to do."

The owner took the note, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and smiled faintly: "Brother Zhang is a big deal. Four thousand taels of silver is enough to buy several lives."

"Just two lives." The words were like the cold wind blowing from the underworld, and the room suddenly became a little cold.

The master paused his hand, and his white hand was made like a woman by the black beard. Then, his hand began to gently stroke his beard. The master smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you know that my family is not short of money."

Zhang Hongchong's eyes dimmed and he said, "You and I have been doing so for many years. This time I owed Brother Jingshan a favor."

The master chuckled and said, "The favors of the doctor in the Ministry of Justice are worth two lives. Brother Zhang said it."

After a stick of incense, Zhang Hongchong left the house, walked more than ten steps away, and came to the dark place to look back at the mansion. The two red lanterns were like giant beasts' eyes and chose people to be eaten. Zhang Hongchong shivered, lowered his head and left in a hurry.

The owner sat alone in the room, one hand tidied his beard, and the other hand subconsciously drew circles on the IOU, and said softly: "Who can Zhang Hongchong spend 4,000 taels of silver to buy his life? The person comes."

As the shouting came into the black man outside the house, he fisted with his hands and said, "The master told me."

"Go and check Jiang Anyi and Qin Haiming, who are these two people? What kind of grudges do you have with Zhang Hong?"

An hour later, the man in black returned to the house, and the servant in the house consciously left and closed the door. The man in black reported: "Mr. Guo, Qin Haiming is Qin Chuanyi's son, and Zhang Hongchong's son Zhang Bojin. There was a conflict recently. Not long ago, the master sent his subordinates to teach Qin Haiming a lesson. Jiang Anyi was a scholar who participated in the provincial examination and studied at Zechang Academy with Zhang Bojin. The two had no grudges. However, Jiang Anyi had some reputation. The birthday party of the Anyang Prince's Mansion was rewarded by the prince for a song."

"Oh, could it be that the 'two lines of red sleeves, and they all persuaded the wine of Changsheng'?"

"It's this person."

Guo Jingshan smiled and said, "Zhang Hongchong's favors cannot be ignored. Who can help me to use him? It's just a pity that this immortal is."

The black man said with a slight interest: "Yesterday, Mr. Guo went to Zuihualou. Miss A Cai sang the Cixian's "Dianjiang Lip". Mr. Guo also said that she sang cutely and charmingly, but she didn't know how she sang for Mr. Guo in the room?"

The two of them laughed despicablely.

After laughing, Guo Jingshan ordered: "Heizi, I sent two brothers to win Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi. I'm more careful. It's best not to let people discover it. The news is tight now, so don't cause trouble."

"Master Guo, don't worry, brothers are all veterans. It's not a single cut to deal with two scholars like chickens. Don't worry." Heizi said carelessly. The facts are not as simple as Heizi imagined. The two men visited Wenping Mansion for a day, but they couldn't find Qin Haiming and Jiang Anyi.

Qin Haiming was taught a lesson last time. He knew that Zhang Bojin sent someone to deal with him. He was afraid and angry. He hid in his own house and secretly wanted a bad idea and did not dare to go out. Jiang Anyi didn't live in Liansheng Inn at all. The two saw Guo Huaili coming in, but this fat man didn't look like Jiang Anyi who told him by Hei Ye at all.

After scolding the two of them, Heizi thought for a while and said, "I don't believe that the boy won't go out if I send someone to stare at the Qin family. As for Jiang Anyi, didn't that fat man say he is Jiang Anyi's brother? He tied him up and left a letter to ask the Jiang person to redeem him."

The unlucky Fatty Guo returned to the inn with a full meal. As soon as he pushed open the door of the courtyard, a bright steel knife was placed on his neck, a smelly rag was stuffed into his mouth, and then his eyes went black, and he was put into a cloth bag, disappearing from the back door into the darkness.

The next morning, the waiter came to deliver the wash water. When he saw a dagger inserted at the door, he fell to the ground with a "clang". The waiter went to find the shopkeeper in a crying and howl. The shopkeeper was smart and hurried to everyone who gathered, "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Guo is sick, I'll go and invite the doctor now, don't bother him."

He pulled the waiter to a secluded place and asked, "What are you yelling about? Let's know that the store has been robbed. Will my store still open?"

After taking off the note, the shopkeeper was knowledgeable and knew at a glance that Guo Huaili had someone kidnapped him. It seemed that he wanted to make money. Mr. Guo and Mr. Jiang came together. Mr. Guo said in front of him that they were two brothers. Now that Mr. Guo had something to do, of course he had to find his brother.
