fake prince

Chapter 22

Seeing Su Ziji's hesitation, Fang Xi said again: "You and I have known each other since my father's generation. We hit it off now. In the future, it may be the same year. Brother Su is a man. What is this little money? Do you have to hypocritically refuse even if you are a friend?" ?”

This is Fang Xi, who has a broad personality and is not delicate, and he is not afraid of borrowing money rashly, whether it will make people feel uncomfortable. If it is Yu Lu, I am afraid that he will do it more tactfully.

If it was the original Su Ziji, I am afraid that he would not accept it, but now he has recovered the memory of his previous life, and he is no longer the person who was designed by others for his good face. A gift from a friend has a different meaning, and this time I went to the government for the test, I had to spend money everywhere, so I really didn't need the money in my hand, so there was no need to refuse Fang Xi's help.

Since we are friends, we will double and return them when the time comes.

"Then it's better to be respectful, and I'll pay you back later." Su Ziji took it with a smile, and put it in his arms without even looking at it.

Seeing that he was not coddling, Fang Xi was in a better mood, consciously completed the task assigned by his father, and raised his hand: "Then I will go back, see you in Fucheng."

"Goodbye, Fucheng." Su Ziji felt the weight: "Ten taels? It's indeed a lot, and the cost of the government examination has been paid."

As for saying that the government failed the test, what should I do?
Su Ziji is really not worried. There must be fraud in the imperial examinations, but stupid people are blind. There were many major fraud cases in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and all the investigations were carried out by the Manchu nobles, but the blame often fell on the Han officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, if the son of a prime minister had no talent, at most he would be a candidate, and he would not be allowed to be a scholar.

Yan Song, who has been in power for nearly 20 years, could not give his son Yan Shifan a Jinshi background, and Enyin's study and official career also determined that he would never be able to truly enter the center.

In this era, the imperial examination is booming, and because there are countless high-ranking candidates in the imperial examination, there must be tricks in it, but talented people can still stand out.

I have reached Level 7 of the Four Books and Five Classics, so I should be able to pass it. As long as I am selected as a scholar, the money I owe will be relatively easy to pay off.

Thinking this way, he didn't slow down and turned around.

"what?"

Not far away, Ye Daoren happened to see this scene, showing a surprised expression.

Ye Dao was born with an ordinary appearance, one that could not be easily found among the crowd. At this moment, he frowned slightly and said to himself in a low voice: "No, this Su Ziji passed the Tongsheng exam and returned, but he found another one." backing!"

Strictly speaking, Tong Sheng does not belong to fame, but it has been registered with the government. Fang’s family is a Juren’s family in the county. , but no longer made an enemy, it seems that my physiognomy is indeed flawed."

"Hey, I don't meet my talent, when will I meet the Lord of Ming?"

After spending a few pennies, he boarded an ox cart and went to Boss Zhang's place.

"Mr. Lu, you can be considered to be back. Just now, big brother asked about you." When the wild Taoist arrived at the stronghold, he immediately said to the first person he met.

Ye Taoist's heart moved, and he said, "I'll go right away!"

Zhang Dacuo's temper is not very good, and he is not afraid, but he always helps each other, otherwise he will not make much money, and this matter has to be discussed.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered Boss Zhang's small courtyard, he heard shouting and cursing inside, and it was Zhang Dacuo who was reprimanding his subordinates again.

"Brother, Lu Fengxian is back!" Someone with sharp eyes glanced out of the window and saw the figure of Ye Taoist, and said immediately.

Zhang Dacuo's face sank like water, and he scolded: "What Lu Fengxian, you should call him Mr. Lu!"

In the past, Lu Fengxian followed him around, but this person did have some skills, and he showed some face, so he had to give some face.

Seeing the wild Taoist come in, he smiled: "Brother Lu Xian, why are you free today?"

Ye Daoist pretended not to understand what he said, it was in the past, but now that he has a reputation, he has heard of it as far as the county, so naturally it is different, he just said: "I came here to report to Brother Zhang, That Su Ziji was making friends with the Fang family, and was just sent back by Fang Xi, son of the Fang family, in a bullock cart."

"You said, he made friends with Fang Juren?" Zhang Dacuo was startled.

"Yes, I saw that before parting, Fang Xi gave back the money. I can't see much, but at least five taels." The wild Taoist's eyes were still very vicious.

Zhang Dacuo couldn't sit still any longer, he paced back and forth in the room, frowning.

The two people from Linhua County had already left. Zhang Dacuo originally wanted to send someone to watch over Su Ziji, looking for an opportunity to attack Su Ziji and prevent him from participating in the government examination.

Now that Su Ziji was a child, Zhang Dacuo didn't dare to kill anyone, but if Su Ziji happened to encounter gangsters fighting, and was affected, broke his face and broke his leg, he could only consider himself unlucky.

You know, if you lose your face and legs, you can't take the imperial examination, and you can ruin Su Ziji for the rest of your life.

Now that Su Ziji has hooked up with Fang Juren, Fang Juren is more than just Juren. Although the Fang family only produced two Juren and a few scholars in the past two generations, the power of the clan should not be underestimated, especially since the Fang family has a relationship with the Zheng family. In-law relationship, and the Zheng family has a Jinshi!

How can such a big family and surname be provoked casually?
"Brother Lu Xian, what do you think should be done?" Waving his hand, Zhang Dacuo asked his subordinates to go out angrily, before asking.

"In the final analysis, this matter is due to Tongshan Temple. We can't always carry it. Tongshan Temple has to shelter us from the wind and rain." Ye Daoist said, seeing Zhang Dacuo's gloomy face, he said again: "Brother Zhang, we If you don't have a deep hatred with Su Ziji, why do you have to die to the end?"

"The little money given by Tongshan Temple is not worth our lives!"

"You don't want the Dao Jue of Tongshan Temple anymore?" Zhang Dacuo squinted at the wild Taoist.

"Brother Zhang, you understand me. I originally learned the art of slaying dragons, observing the sky, observing geography, and calculating people's schemes. Unfortunately, my fate is not good, so I only learned three points."

Ye Daoist was a little disappointed when he said this, with a wry smile on his face: "More importantly, when I finish my studies, the war in the world will come to an end, and now the world will be peaceful, and the world will return to its heart, so there is no room for the dragon slaying technique." .”

"I can only work hard on Qimen Dunjia and Fengshui Xiangshu to earn a living."

"Don't look at people who look at Fengshui. They use me with enthusiasm. In fact, they don't treat me as a person at all. Anyway, I'm already a low-level fortune-teller and have no descendants. That's why I want to use Tongshan Guan's Dao Jue. Don't be afraid. Three disadvantages and five shortcomings, if I can cultivate a ghost fairy, I will be satisfied."

"You go around wordy, what do you want to say?" Zhang Dacuo became a little impatient.

"What I want to say is—the Su family's ancestral grave seems ordinary, but upon closer inspection, something is wrong. I can't tell what's wrong, but there is."

"I won't interfere in this matter. No matter how good the Dao Jue is, there is no good life. You and I have met each other. Today, I advise you to stop and don't capsize in the gutter." The wild Taoist restrained his smile and said Rong said.

Zhang Dacuo couldn't help being startled, turned around in the room a few times, and sighed: "I still believe what you say, but it's hard to get off when I get on the boat. I sent someone to dig the grave of the Su family's ancestors. Two brothers died, although it is impossible for Su Ziji, a frail scholar, to have been born, but I always suspect that it has something to do with him."

"Tell me, what will happen if Su Ziji wins Juren and investigates the Su family's ancestral grave? This matter cannot be covered with paper!"

"Even if it's you, if you didn't directly participate, you can get away with it? How will Su Ziji think of you then?"

Digging up someone's ancestral grave is no different from killing one's parents. This is an inextricable blood feud, and the small gang in the county can't do everything seamlessly. Maybe the younger brother will leak it after drinking.

Seeing that the wild Taoist was speechless, Zhang Dacuo gave a heavy pause and showed a sinister smile: "Since the deep hatred has been formed, this Su Ziji must be killed, but you are right, we can't go up alone, Tongshan Temple has to go up too go up!"
