Before the two walked out of the county guard's courtyard, the guard gave him three looks. The first two looked affirmative, and the last one also expressed affirmative.
The smile in Master Bu's eyes flashed away. At this point, most of the work was done, but as a dedicated actor, he would continue to act as long as the curtain fell.
After leaving the small courtyard, they were no longer protected by the formation. Master Di and the guards were alert again. The two of them were vigilant all the way without saying a word. They just immersed themselves in the road and went around and around to a relatively remote part of the county guard's mansion. A small courtyard, but this small courtyard has the same formation protection as the Sheriff's Courtyard.
Before entering the courtyard, he made sure again and again that no one was following him, and then he closed the courtyard door with confidence.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after entering the small courtyard, and their bodies were no longer so tense. Master Bu sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, picking up the teacup on the table and pouring a cup of herbal tea, while the guards went to The toilet solves three emergencies.
Not long after, he came out of the toilet, and Master Bu also took the opportunity to look over. The two of them looked at each other and exchanged a tacit understanding of eyes.
Master Bu warned the guards: "Ji Linsheng is in the city now. You must be careful this time and don't ruin the master's important event."
"I understand." The guard bowed and said, "There is no need to worry, sir. Brothers have been working for so many years and are familiar with..."
"Silence!" Master Bu scolded: "Ji Linsheng is in the house, be careful what you say and do. How can I teach you?"
The guard did not take it seriously: "My lord, you are too cautious. The courtyard is protected by formations, and it is impossible for Ji Linsheng to enter."
It seemed that these words convinced Master Di, so he relaxed a little, motioned for the guards to sit down, and asked casually: "How did that matter go?"
The guard smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. I have already dealt with all the servants who know about the Lord Sheriff's dealings with Lord Gongshan. I guarantee that no one will be left alive and all the accounts will be burned cleanly."
Master Bu nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. Mr. Gongshan has also heard some rumors. This should be the last time the goods are sold. As long as nothing goes wrong this time, Ji Linsheng will not be able to catch him no matter how much he investigates. Naturally, we don’t have to worry about the governor’s leverage.”
The guard hurriedly responded, and the two of them chatted for a long time. It was not until the guard went to the toilet again on the pretext of urgent urination. When he came back, he nodded slightly to Master Bu, and the two ended the conversation and entered the room. Enter the back room.
——
Early the next morning, Liu Cun came out of his room, and Wei Feng next door happened to go out as well. He seemed to be in a bad mental state, maybe because he didn't get a good rest last night.
After washing his face with cold water, Wei Feng cheered up and greeted Liu Cun with a smile to go to the city for breakfast.
Wei Feng, who had experience in his previous life, knew that the special delicacies of a place are usually inseparable from breakfast.
When I was traveling, I discovered that all the so-called local specialties can be purchased online. What can be taken away are usually beautifully packaged fast food from specialty shops. What people care more about is the feeling of bringing gifts home. And real specialties, like breakfast, cannot be taken away.
So no matter which town he went to, Wei Feng was keen on visiting the morning market.
Breakfast in Lingwu County is also based on noodles. Grab a handful of the special noodles here and put them into the pot. Boil the water for half a minute, then scoop them out, pour the secret sauce here, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and have a bowl of Lingwu special breakfast noodles. It's done.
This kind of sauce is slightly thick, and after a little stirring, it will have a mellow aroma. Although it is a little dry, it tastes great, so the locals like to have it with a serving of hot soy milk.
Wei Feng, who had lived in his previous life, had a very wide range of tastes. In addition, he had no dietary restrictions. He didn't mind trying the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, and fresh foods, so after getting used to the first bite, he started to enjoy it.
And Liu Cun, who traveled all over the world with his master, was not too generous. From the rare delicacies to the steamed buns, the master basically took him to eat them all. As for Cang Gou, he would not refuse anyone who came.
On their square table, two people and one dog were eating together, which attracted the curious and probing looks of many diners around them, but the three of them didn't have the time to pay attention to these looks.
As if in a competition, Cang Gou finished the noodles first, followed by Liu Cun, who overtook him in the soy milk drinking session. He glanced at Cang Gou casually, and Cang Gou got off the table with a flick of his tail, ignoring him. .
Only Wei Feng was left eating. Seeing that Liu Cun was about to ask for another bowl, he quickly stopped him. Facing Liu Cun's confused look, he slowly swallowed the last bite of noodles and took another sip. The soy milk was smooth, and he said, "Don't worry, let's go to another breakfast shop to eat something else."
Although Liu Cun was still a little confused, he didn't say anything and waited quietly for him to finish eating before leaving together.
Different from the casual manner when he came to this breakfast shop, Wei Feng and Liu Cun were walking through the streets and alleys with much more purpose now, as if he had done a good job before and now went straight to a certain shop.
After twists and turns, two people and one dog came to a small stall that was not very busy. The stall owner was frying something. It looked like a pancake, but it was thick around the edges and thin in the middle. It was "concave" shaped from the outside to the inside, so The locals call it concave face.
Generally, delicious restaurants have a lot of customers. When he saw the sparse customers in front of the stall, Liu Cun could not help but have some doubts in his eyes. Can this restaurant be delicious?
Seeing that Wei Feng had already bought six concave noodles, he was ready to try them.
The stall owner only set up four tables, and only the tables on both sides were occupied by one person and two people. Wei Feng found an empty table and sat down, next to the table with the single customer, sitting back to back with that person.
When he sat down, Liu Cun picked up the miangao and was about to put it in his mouth, but he heard Wei Feng speak: "I've never asked you, do you know how to obtain the exam qualifications of the Academy?"
He had no choice but to put down the concave expression on his lips and replied: "Participating in the imperial examination is considered a kind of thing. There are also recommended quotas in various counties and cities. The same is true in the military. Some big families also have corresponding quotas. You can also exchange for meritorious service to learn. The palace’s tutors, professors and tour guides can all be recommended.”
The last words he said made Wei Feng's eyes light up: "Then when you become the tutor of the Academy, can you recommend me?"
Liu Cun denied it and said: "I may not be able to enter the academy as a tutor. Master has prepared a quota for me. If I can't become a tutor, I will pass the exam."
Seeing that he said it so matter-of-factly, Wei Feng looked at him in disbelief. Listening to your boy's tone before, he thought that the academy instructor was at hand, but he didn't expect that he had already found a way out.
Liu Cun didn't care about his gaze and continued to add: "Besides, there is only one recommendation spot for tutors in the Academy every three years, and one recommendation spot for professors every two years. Even if I become a tutor, I won't be able to help you this year."
Of course, he has other ways to help Wei Feng enter the academy, but he hasn't arrived in Tianyang yet, and he can't guarantee it, so he won't say it yet.
Disappointment flashed in Wei Feng's eyes, but he had no hope in this in the first place. He mysteriously said to Liu Cun: "I had a dream last night."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Cun eagerly.
Liu Cun put down the face that was brought to his mouth again. He was not interested in Wei Feng's dream, but he couldn't help but Wei Feng kept staring at him with sincere eyes, so he had no choice but to sigh: "What dream?"
Wei Feng said in an enigmatic tone: "I dreamed that today there would be an academy patrol to give me a place to take the academy exam."
Liu Cun rolled his eyes, thinking that you were just talking nonsense, but when Wei Feng looked over eagerly, he felt some goosebumps on his body, so he had to continue dryly: "Why?"
Wei Feng said seriously: "Because he was confused by one thing. If he made the wrong decision, he might have wronged a good official. But I showed up in time to help him point out the mistake. He was very grateful to me and thought I was extremely smart. So I was given a recommendation spot.”
Liu Cunping finished the article. This sentence aroused his interest. It felt like a storybook written by Wei Feng. It was quite interesting. In order to continue listening to the story, he was willing to cooperate and urged: "Be more detailed."
Neither of them noticed that the man sitting back to back with Wei Feng had already finished his meal and was about to leave, but suddenly he sat down again, thought for a moment, asked the stall owner to come with two more, and continued eating slowly. stand up.
Wei Feng continued: "I dreamed that the patrolman was originally here to investigate secretly, but I didn't expect that his actions would have been discovered long ago. He was ready to return without success, but he never thought about the investigation process. Although some luck factors were involved, it was still unexpectedly smooth, which made him very puzzled.
Some clues he found showed that, as he thought when he came, the official was a bad person. Although there was no concrete evidence, according to his rights, as long as he persisted, he could still start a formal investigation against the official. , thinking about it, it wouldn’t be a big problem to take it down.
However, his subconscious told him that this matter was very strange and that it was going too smoothly. He was confused whether he should believe in the evidence he found or his intuition that he had honed over many years of handling cases. "
At first Liu Cun just listened to it as a story, but the transparency of the sword's heart made it impossible for him to be deceived. Just now, he also noticed that there seemed to be something abnormal around him. Now he has realized it. It turns out that Wei Feng dragged him here to have breakfast. That is a drunkard who does not care about wine.
But he was still willing to cooperate and asked, "Then how did you help him?"
Wei Feng chuckled: "Actually, I didn't help him. He himself had doubts. It was just because he lacked key information and didn't know that he was in the game. When he realized this, his train of thought came naturally. Will open it, and he can see the facts clearly.
I just told him that his whereabouts may always be under someone's control, even if he leaves the academy and enters the county. "
The man behind him ate the cake for a moment, and his thoughts were spinning. He thought of many possibilities, but rejected them one by one. He thought it was impossible. It made sense to be stared at by the spy in the academy, but after entering Lingwu County, There was no one in the city with a similar level of cultivation as him, so it was impossible for him to be watched and not notice it.
Wei Feng said calmly: "I heard that there is a kind of bug that can smell a special smell. This smell is difficult for humans to smell, but the bug can tell the direction of the source of the smell..."
A picture suddenly flashed in the mind of the man behind him, which was the horse he rode when he entered the city. There was nothing wrong with the horse itself, but the problem was with the guard who was holding the horse for him. He noticed at that time that the guard's movements when holding the horse were Something weird.
Generally, you only need to pull the reins to lead a horse. Even if the horse is slightly uncooperative, at most you can grab the bridle on the horse's mouth with the other hand and use force together. However, I have never seen one hand pulling the reins and the other hand pulling the saddle. of.
At the time, he just thought that the guard had never ridden a horse, so his movements were a bit amateurish. Now that he thought about it, the hand holding the saddle might have made some small moves.
As for the special smell that humans can't smell but bugs can smell, he still knows everything about it as a school patrol. He just thought that from the meeting with the Lingwu County group to the entire banquet, he was aware of it. He was careful not to let others touch him. With his cultivation, he would not be splashed without realizing it. He even changed his clothes before setting off, so he ignored this possibility.
It was indeed the same as what Wei Feng said. He knew what he wanted to do and how to do it. He just fell into a misunderstanding and didn't know it. Now that Wei Feng pointed it out, he suddenly woke up like a enlightenment.
But Liu Cun continued to ask: "Since you haven't done anything, why did he give you a place?"
Wei Feng said calmly: "First of all, when you help, you don't need to look at what others have done, but more importantly, what you have brought to yourself. Although it is just one sentence, it plays a key role, doesn't it?
Secondly, I am extremely smart and have countless advantages. I am a rare talent. I will not lose money on my investment. "
The man behind him laughed secretly. I don't know if he has many advantages, but he is quite thick-skinned.
"Besides, it's a waste if I don't use the quota anyway. If I don't have the ability, then I won't be able to pass the academy exam. If I have the ability, it means that the academy needs talents like me. I should have entered the academy in the first place. Palace, recommending to me is in line with the original intention of recommending talents.
And lastly, and most importantly, the Xingxun was also very curious. He couldn’t figure out how an ordinary person like me, a complete stranger, could know this. He was very curious about this Xingxun when he knew about it.
But I didn't do anything bad, and I didn't offend him. It's normal for me to have secrets. It's none of his business. How could he, an upright person like him, attack me at will?
And because you, a master who is only 19 years old and already halfway through Longmen, are here, I need to give you some face, so I gave you the recommended spot.
When I entered the Academy, there were many opportunities to meet each other, and I had to accept their favor, so I would naturally tell the truth and satisfy their curiosity.
Based on the above four reasons, he had no reason not to give me the recommended spot. "
After listening to his long and eloquent words, Liu Cun directly picked up a plate of noodles on the table, stood up and left. As for the guest at the next table, he had left without knowing when, leaving only one thing behind him. Sitting on the bench.
Wei Feng chuckled, stood up and picked up the Academy Token on the bench behind him. He looked through it for a while and found that it was exactly the same as the one in Bu Ji's hand. He happily put it into his arms, turned around and bought a few more to feed the faces. Cang Gou finally calmed down Cang Gou's anger when he saw Liu Cun.
