Yu Qing had no intention of offending anyone casually, and seeing that the scar-faced man was full of energy and didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with, he immediately raised his hands to the scar-faced man and said, "If I made a noise just now and disturbed you, I hope you will forgive me. "
The scarred man had no expression on his face and stepped aside, completely letting the old fisherman out of Yu Qing's sight.
Yu Qing was slightly startled, jumped off his horse, and politely said: "But I disturbed the old gentleman while he was fishing? I'll apologize first."
"Alas!" The old fishing man sighed softly, "Can such a big capital really not accommodate you? Do we really have to leave?"
Yu Qing's heartstrings tightened instantly. He subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand and asked, "Who is this old gentleman?"
The old fishing man did not say who he was, "The matter is over. Your resignation can also follow the normal regulations. The Yushitai has not approved it yet. If you go back now, everything can be the same as before. If you don't like talking to those civil servants Damn it, I can also arrange for you to join the military, but this will go against your father's wishes. Your father should still hope that you can handle government affairs and take care of the livelihood of the people."
Yu Qing said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The old fishing man said melancholy: "What happened back then was due to my negligence. Someone took advantage of my absence in the capital to attack your father. If I had noticed the abnormality early, your family would not have suffered such a bad luck. I am sorry for your father." , I’m sorry for your whole family.”
Yu Qing was a little puzzled. He was really not familiar with the figures in the official circles of the capital. One thing was that the time they had been in contact with him was too short. The other was that he never thought about staying from the beginning to the end. He had never given any thought to this aspect. , even have no idea, who knows who this is.
Such a number one figure suddenly appeared. From what he meant, he was also an ally of Ajiezhang.
Every one of them, as long as they appear in front of me, say that they are Ajizhang's friends. I wonder if Ajizhang's spirit in heaven can smile?
Hearing no response, the old fishing man turned around and asked, "Didn't your father ever mention me to you?"
Yu Qing sighed: "If you don't tell me who you are, I don't know if you have ever mentioned it."
The old fishing man sighed: "I am Ying Xiaotang!"
"Uh..." Yu Qing was startled, and then he was shocked. He had heard of this before, and he immediately bowed and said, "Young man, I pay my respects to the Duke."
Ying Xiaotang put down the fishing rod, stood up, and asked face to face: "I said, the matter is over and you can start over. Let me ask you again, do you want to come back to Beijing with me?"
Yu Qing was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I appreciate the Duke's kindness. A good horse never looks back. Now that I have escaped, I don't want to go back."
Ying Xiaotang sighed again, as if it was true, "Originally, I made up my mind to take you back no matter what, even if it was to give an explanation to your father's spirit in heaven.
But just now, from your roar, I heard the desperate desire after breaking free from the restraints. Only then did I realize that you really don’t like being restrained in this capital and really want to get rid of it. I also understand why you suddenly resigned, which you couldn’t figure out before.
Since you really don’t want to, what’s the point of forcing you?
So, I decided, it's up to you.
However, I still want to remind you of one thing. The murderer behind the murder of your family has not yet been found out. Even if you withdraw from officialdom, no one can guarantee whether they will let you go.
If you are within the rules, you can play within the rules. If you are outside the rules, you will be abandoned by the rules. You will face a situation where there are no rules at all.
You are gone and separated from us. For the sake of your father, we can help you as much as we need to, but we have to use our energy to do what we should do, and we cannot always revolve around you, because you are not that important.
So, you have to think clearly.
Let me ask you one last time, do you want to work with us to overcome the difficulties together, or do you want to be alone? "
Yu Qing has thought about this issue many times. He knows that he will get into trouble as soon as he returns. He can't escape even if he wants to. The identity of being a top scorer in the four subjects has really tricked him to death. This is what he should do. Xiaotang and the others will never understand.
Therefore, he didn't need to think about anything anymore and refused directly: "Thank you for your kindness. The boy is lazy by nature and can't bear the heavy responsibility. Let's just have fun."
Ying Xiaotang scratched his beard and nodded. He kept his word. At this point, he really couldn't force himself anymore. However, he still couldn't help but ask, "I'm going to stop being an official. What are you going to do? People always want to do something." Face reality and you have to live, right?”
Seeing that he was let go, Yu Qingshu let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I gave up literature and joined martial arts. I am happy with my grudges and wandering around in the world."
Abandoning literature and embracing martial arts?
Both Ying Xiaotang and the scarred man looked stunned.
Ying Xiaotang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're really a bit wild-tempered. Why do you think that Huiyuan, who has perfect scores in all four subjects, is going to run around in the world? Do you think it's appropriate?"
Yu Qing: "Because I have already obtained full marks in the four subjects of the general examination and the first article, I have reached the peak of my game and there is no point in playing anymore. It is better to go to another road to have fun."
"..." Ying Xiaotang was speechless, finding that talented people speak differently.
After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword at Yu Qing's waist, drew out the sword, caressed the edge, and asked: "Walking around the world, enjoying grudges and grudges, is the sword sharp?"
Yu Qing: "I don't know."
Ying Xiaotang suddenly said, "Did you kill Gao Zeyu and the city gate guard Li Qi?"
Yu Qing said without hesitation: "No, I wonder why the Duke said this?"
Ying Xiaotang put his hand on the gap in the sword, tightened the corners of his mouth, and said calmly: "It's just a question, it's not the best." After that, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard on Yu Qing's waist. "Since you don't want to come back to Beijing with me, I think I'm here to see you off, and I'll see you off far away!"
"Don't dare. I'm going to pay my respects to the Duke of the country." Yu Qing bowed deeply, then raised his hands to the scarred man, then turned away, got on his horse, turned the mount, knocked the horse's belly hard with his heels, and that was it. It rumbles and gallops away.
Seeing that they were about to enter the official road and go all the way away, Ying Xiaotang tugged on his beard and said: "It's a bit evil! He can get perfect scores in four subjects in the general examination, he dares to lick blood from the head of his knife, and he can tell lies with his eyes open. What kind of monster has Ajiezhang trained? He is young and frivolous, and he doesn’t know what the world is. It’s great to be young and unscrupulous. I can’t wait to see how far he can go.”
…
Some things cannot be covered by paper.
Due to an old grudge, the emperor demoted Ash Heng's number one scholar to Tanhua Lang. Tanhua Lang threw down his crown and resigned in anger. This news soon caused a sensation in the entire capital, and even the whole world.
Although the Jin State court said it was a rumor and kept coming out to refute the rumors, saying that Ashheng was just resigning normally, the person who had spread the rumor before did not expect to take it back. The wind had already blown out, so how could he take it back.
In addition, Ashiheng is a Huiyuan with perfect scores in four subjects. It is surprising that such a talent could not be admitted to the first place. In addition, the incident of Ashiheng falling away from the championship seems to have confirmed the rumor. The whole incident It suddenly became a legendary story that everyone loved to tell.
Rumors of the two sisters Zhong Ruochen becoming the disciples of their mother, the commander of the Sinan Mansion, also spread one after another.
But for ordinary people, what they are more willing to tell is the story of Tan Hwa Lang throwing away his crown.
"Have you heard that after the news about Tanhua Lang throwing away his crown and leaving, Princess Yin publicly announced to Ashiheng that she was willing to marry Ashiheng and asked Ashiheng to go to Yin to marry her!"
"I heard that Yin State wants people that Jin State doesn't want. This is a bit of a slap in Jin State's face."
"Well, you have to make it clear that Princess Yin wants to marry Ashiheng, not to accept Ashiheng as her consort, but to ask Ashiheng to marry her!"
"Tsk, tsk, if Ash Heng really goes to the Yin Kingdom, then this matter will be very lively."
"Yes, I heard that the head of the Yin State's Daye Division was Di Mu's senior brother. The senior brother went to Yin State to be the commander of the Daye Division, and the junior sister came to Jin State to be the commander of the Sinan Mansion. The senior brother was granted the title of "Di Mu" Master', the junior sister was named the 'Mother of the Earth', and the two countries have always had a feeling of being at odds with each other. It would be really fun if Tan Hua Lang, who has perfect scores in the four subjects of Jin Kingdom, defected to Yin Kingdom and married the princess of Yin Kingdom. "
"I don't know what the Princess of Yin looks like or what conditions she can give her. If she is good-looking and has generous conditions, why not go? I would definitely marry her."
"It's you. The beauty hunter is a talented man. If he is not a greedy and lustful person like you, he will definitely disdain him."
In a restaurant, Yu Qing was hiding in a corner eating and drinking, listening to the discussions of a group of passers-by. He was really speechless. He had heard about a certain princess who wanted to marry him a few days ago.
It was impossible for him to marry a princess. He had just escaped from one prison, and it was impossible for him to be sent to another prison. The princess has never met anyone else, and her willingness to marry him is just because of his so-called 'talent'. The problem is that his 'talent' cannot stand the test at all, so there is no need to seek death.
What's more, he is not the real Ashheng. Some things are just a joke. Now he has separated himself from that 'Ashiheng' and thinks that he is just a simple man in the world.
On the contrary, he was quite surprised that the two sisters Zhong Ruochen were accepted as disciples by Earth Mother. He did not expect that the two sisters would have such a great opportunity. No wonder someone from the Sinan Mansion personally sent Wen Ruowei there that day. The matter was not mentioned at all.
"Why am I greedy for money? If I was really greedy for money and lustful, I would have a great opportunity to make a fortune right now."
"Haha, if there is an opportunity to make a fortune, why don't you go? Where is the way to make money? Let me go and find out."
"Zhaozhou flood, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and became hungry people. At this time, if you give a little money, there will be people willing to sell themselves. A good-looking girl can be bought casually for ten taels of silver. After cleaning, she can be resold. More than a hundred taels, how much profit is this? Ordinary labor can also be very profitable. As long as you prepare some capital to become a "human trafficker", you can easily make double the money back. If not hundreds of thousands of hungry people, what is the way to make money? "
