"Lin Qing, can you do it?"
In the inner palace of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Wang and a group of colleagues surrounded Lin Qing, who was about to go home to recuperate. "Are you sure you won't go to Taoyuan County again? Are you really not worried about Xu Tiancai being snatched away?"
"I have heard that as soon as His Majesty's imperial edict was sent out, the six troops from the Imperial City followed and went to Taoyuan County. Wu Linghou followed closely behind, and the old Tianshi and the Pope in Longhu Mountain also got up. thought."
"What's even more outrageous is that even Eunuch Cao, who is next to His Majesty, has an idea! He sent a group of young eunuchs to Taoyuan County to rob people. Can you bear this? What do you think he is doing with an castrated eunuch? Lively? Take people back to sing poems and songs?"
Mr. Wang's saliva flew straight up, making Lin Qingsheng hopeless.
The young servant listened quietly for a long time, but after a long pause, he had no choice but to interrupt, "Sir, you have forgotten that I have used the mind-observation technique. Brother Xu has a strong will and will never get lost easily."
Mr. Wang glared at him, "I can trust him, but I can't trust those old fools in the officialdom! In order to steal people, they will definitely do anything to steal people. Under coercion and inducement, there is no guarantee that Xu Tiancai will not forget his original intention and change his position. !”
Hearing this, Lin Qing took a deep look at Mr. Wang. He thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, a person who easily forgets his original intention and changes his stance, what do we want from the Hanlin Academy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the Hanlin Academy were stunned.
Lord Wang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Lin Qing's pure eyes and thinking about the feats of his colleagues who desperately offered poems under the pilgrimage building, he finally remained silent.
The old lecturer sighed and waved everyone aside.
Lin Qing smiled. He gently peeled off Mr. Wang's hands that were holding his sleeves, bowed respectfully to him, and said again, "Sir, you promised me to take a rest for three days. After three days, the man from Taoyuan County will The battle over people's robbery should be over, and by then, we will welcome Brother Xu back together."
After saying that, he turned around and left in the breeze and setting sun.
The young editor couldn't hold back his temper, and suddenly jogged a few steps and shouted loudly, "Your Excellency, what if he doesn't come back in three days?"
"Then treat it as an empty joy!"
Lin Qing waved her hand and walked away without looking back.
The tone was full of calmness.
"Why do I feel that Lord Attendant is a little different from before?"
The editor scratched his head and asked, staring at Lin Qing's retreating back.
"Maybe it's because he has entered the sixth level of Confucianism."
Mr. Wang sighed, and then smiled, "He risked his life to offer poems to the pilgrims downstairs. By some combination of circumstances, he actually made a breakthrough. Haha, this opportunity is incredible."
Sixth-grade Confucianism and Taoism, a state of self-cultivation, are not worth mentioning in Daxia.
But the problem is, Lin Qing is only twenty years old.
Mr. Wang remembers that Long Youjun, who is known as the number one Confucian cultivator among the younger generation in the academy, was already twenty-one years old when he first entered the realm of self-cultivation, right?
what does that mean?
Mr. Wang smiled and said nothing. It turned out that there was already a genius in the Hanlin Academy.
…
Taoyuan County, Guangling Street.
Just after noon, the streets and streets were already crowded.
The county magistrate treated the guests to a banquet and ate for free, and people from the whole county came to join in the fun.
More than thirty restaurants are all full, and there are tables and chairs outside on Guangling Street for ten miles. It doesn’t matter who it is, just serve it casually. Today’s main theme is for the officials and the people to have fun together.
Plate after plate of expensive dishes were served on the table. It was a great pleasure to eat, and the wine was filled up, and everyone was drunk.
Zhu Zhixian sat firmly at the first table of Fengyue Restaurant and drank half a bottle of wine. He was already eighty percent drunk. He kept raising his glass to the people on the street, "Everyone, drink well today, come back tomorrow, and don't be absent the day after tomorrow. We are three God, don’t do anything, just eat and drink! All expenses will be borne by me alone!”
"The magistrate is mighty!"
Countless cheers suddenly came from Guangling Street.
People from the Yamen sat at eight tables, all in the lobby of Fengyue Restaurant. The Xu family father and son were not welcome and crowded into the corner of the inner table.
After Zhu Zhixian finished drinking with the people, he returned to the hall and continued to clink glasses with his colleagues.
When he got excited after drinking, he completely lost his worries and directly pointed out that the exquisite poem that shocked the capital was written by his son Zhu Xiaode.
Of course, the main reason is that he was taught and influenced by his father, the county magistrate.
Otherwise, he would never be so promising.
For a time, there was an endless stream of compliments from Fengyue Restaurant, especially Wang Xiancheng, the second-in-command of the county government, who was the most enthusiastic. The photo made Zhu Rushi feel comfortable, and her face was glowing red throughout the scene.
"Oh my lord! I said that this kid Xiaode has a lot of potential! He can become famous all over the world just by writing a poem casually. If he gets serious about this, won't all the gods in the sky have to come down to earth to praise him?"
Wang Xiancheng raised his glass and said, "I suggest that we all give the magistrate another drink. When he goes to the capital in the future, we won't be able to do it even if we want to!"
Hearing this, everyone stood up and filled up their glasses, Xu Xingmu was no exception.
He felt bad, but he couldn't help it.
It felt like a cuckold was wearing it on his head. He still had to lick his face to say good night to others. The main thing was that he was a bitch.
Xu Pingsheng was still lying on the table.
He felt even more uneasy in his heart. When he felt uneasy, he felt unhappy. When he felt unhappy, he wanted to drink. If he didn't drink, he would drink and fall down.
I can't even raise my head at this moment, let alone stand up to toast.
Lei Gong, who was sitting at the other table, suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at the drunk Xu Pingsheng and sneered.
He was already brooding over his last mistake. If the county magistrate had not warned him many times to calm down and not cause more trouble, he would have been killed by the Xu family and his son in the dark to avoid future troubles.
After holding back for many days, I still couldn't find an excuse to punish the Xu family's father and son. Today, I took advantage of the toast to give them a chance to remember!
Lei Gong slapped the table and stood up, holding the sword at his waist and walked up to Xu Pingsheng, pointed at him and shouted, "Xu Bowen! Are you pretending to be dead here? Everyone stood up to toast, you are the only one who is special? I'll count to three, get up! One..."
"Master Lei! My dad is really drunk!"
Xu Xingmu took a deep breath and stood in front of Xu Pingsheng, "I'll drink this wine for him."
Lei Gong glared at him, "Why are you, a stinky government servant, doing this? If you drink for him, who are you? You don't deserve to be on this table!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xingmu instinctively clenched his fists. He glanced at Lei Gong and said, "In that case, I will take my father back."
Lei Gong suddenly pulled out his big knife, "You can get out, but your father has to stay! Someone, bring me a basin of cold water!"
Someone immediately went to the kitchen to make arrangements. After a while, the restaurant owner came over with a large basin of cold water and asked with a smile, "Which adults want to wash your face? In this weather, washing your face with cold water is quite enjoyable!"
Lei Gong laughed evilly, took the cold water and poured it down without saying a word, making the restaurant owner shudder.
Xu Xingmu's expression was cold, and he stepped forward to block half of it, but the other half of the water was still poured on Xu Pingsheng's head. The water splashed everywhere, and the ice was biting, but it didn't wake him up, and he shivered before continuing. He fell asleep lying on his stomach.
"Damn! What a dead pig!"
Lei Gong cursed and shouted again, "Fire the basin again!"
"Let's see who dares to move!"
Xu Xingmu suddenly spoke and his words were shocking.
He slowly raised his head, and water stains fell from his wet hair, sliding over the corners of his eyes and cheeks, making his whole person's temperament change drastically, and he actually gained a bit more attractive aura.
The restaurant owner was in a dilemma and was so anxious that he was sweating.
Lei Gong was stunned for a moment, and soon became angry. Just as he was about to raise his knife, Xu Xingmu glared at him, "Don't let my tolerance become the reason for your arrogance! Lei Gong! Don't you know who should give the banquet today?" "
As soon as he said these words, Lei Gong shook his hands and took an unprecedented half step back.
The half-drunk and half-awake Zhu Zhixian broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that Xu Xingmu was talking nonsense, so he quickly pointed at Thunder God and angrily yelled, "What a shame! How can you show off your swords and guns on this special day?" Why don’t you retreat quickly?”
He quickly walked to Xu Xingmu, wiped off the water stains on his forehead with concern, and explained, "Thunder God, he drank too much, Feng Lin, don't blame me, come on, I'll toast you a glass of wine for him, as an apology!"
After saying this, he was about to raise his glass, but Xu Xingmu held out his hand to stop him, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to give you face. My father is already drunk. I have to be sober at all times. I can't drink this wine."
Wang Xian Cheng frowned, stepped forward and scolded, "What are you doing, kid? Just follow up as soon as I step down. Don't be upset, just drink up!"
"Drink your mother! Do you have the right to speak?"
Zhu Zhixian saw Xu Xingmu frowning and quickly calmed him down. He pointed at Wang Xiancheng and scolded him, "Your fucking head is in your butt. I wonder if Bowen is already drunk? What if Feng Lin does it again?" Will you take care of me if I fall?"
Wang County Cheng was stunned by these words, "Why are you scolding me?"
Zhu Zhixian glanced at Xu Pingsheng and said, "How about taking your father back to change his clothes first? After a while, I will ask Lei Gong to go to your house to apologize to you."
He smiled as he spoke, harmlessly and with a hint of sincerity.
But Xu Xingmu heard the threat.
"That's fine."
Xu Xingmu helped his father up and walked out of the restaurant with difficulty.
Before going out, his cold face melted away, and his expression returned to a well-behaved expression. He turned back to look at Zhu Zhixian and said, "Sir, when the Lord Attendant in the capital left Taoyuan County, he asked me to go to the capital to find him in a few days. If I don't have time to go there, , he will come to me. If he does come, I will ask you to have tea."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Zhu Zhixian and Lei Gong looking at each other with expressions as uncomfortable as eating shit.
The farce between the Xu family and his son did not affect the mood of most people. Everyone should eat and drink. With the help of alcohol, it didn't take long for the unpleasantness to be forgotten.
Zhu Zhixian also gradually found his previous happiness again amidst the toasts of everyone.
The feast goes on, corrupting in corruption, clamoring in corruption.
It reached its climax at the moment when the imperial decree arrived in the capital.
"Ms. sir! Something big has happened! Go back to the Yamen!"
The wife of the magistrate, who was in charge of the county government office, wore heavy makeup and ran all the way from the government office to Guangling Street. Her 300-pound body suddenly threw herself into the arms of Magistrate Zhu, almost breaking his ribs.
"Ma'am, be more reserved!"
Zhu Zhixian said "Ouch", rubbed his waist and said dissatisfiedly, "All my colleagues are here, and the people are watching, how do you behave like this?"
He slowly took a sip, exhaled the smell of alcohol, and then asked, "What happened? Is there anyone else reporting the crime on this special day?"
The county magistrate's wife didn't care. She shouted excitedly, "Why are you so reserved? This is not to report a crime, but to report good news! My husband, someone is coming from the capital!"
"What!"
Zhu Ru was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He lost his composure and asked hastily, "So fast! Who is it?"
"A majestic Grand Duke!"
The county magistrate’s wife was afraid that others wouldn’t hear, so her voice became extremely high-pitched, “I came with an imperial edict!”
"Congratulations! Your majesty's reward must have been received, and the young master's letter of appointment should also be among them! My lord, the emperor's grace is so great that this wine will have to be kept for three more days!"
Wang Xiancheng seized the opportunity and quickly finished a few sentences.
"It has to be put on! Three days is not enough, let's put it on for another ten days!"
Zhu Ru was so excited that he waved his hand and pointed at the Yamen, "Everyone, follow me to receive the order! Let's be happy together!"
In an instant, dust was flying on Guangling Street.
All the officials and citizens of Taoyuan County attacked the county government in a mighty manner.
