Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The night in Chang'an City is always so restless.

The dark sky carried a sense of oppression that the mountains and rain were about to come.

A rather thin figure walked through the streets and alleys carefully avoiding Marquis Wu, who was patrolling the city.

For martial arts masters, it is not difficult to avoid the patrolling Wuhou.

To put it bluntly, the quality of these patrolling Wuhous is not even comparable to that of ordinary government soldiers.

Knowing a little bit about how to hide and hide, no one can find out after walking on the street for several months.

But it's a bit embarrassing for a scholar

Holding back the anger and grievance in his heart, Xu Jingzong took out the cold dry food, took a few mouthfuls, and carefully stuffed it back into his clothes.

There is another team of Marquis Wu patrolling the city ahead!

He hastily retreated into the porch of a house, avoiding the sight of the group of Marquis Wu who were patrolling the city.

After identifying the direction, Xu Jingzong walked forward lightly.

The curfew has only been one hour, and this kind of torture will continue for a long time.

"This group of damned students are just playing with fire by themselves, but they burned me!"

As he walked, he cursed angrily.

Finally, at the second watch, I came to the door of a certain high-ranking family!

knock knock --

He didn't dare to knock on the door, only dared to knock lightly.

After knocking for a long time, the porter's reluctant voice sounded from inside.

"In the middle of the night, the dogs are asleep, what are you doing?"

Xu Jingzong's old face darkened, but he was embarrassed to say anything more.

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister is always a head shorter.

Besides, the man in the house is the genuine Prime Minister!

Xu Jingzong took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, ready to hand it in.

These are all bad habits passed down from that damn concierge of the Liu family!

All the concierges in Chang'an City regard the Liu family's concierge as the leader in the industry.

Gradually, it evolved into a bullshit rule that you can't even get in the door if you don't pass anything to the porter!

Gentlemen, no one cares.

As a concierge, who is not a confidant?

"My lord, Xu Jingzong, come to pay a visit to Fang Xiang, and hope that it will be convenient for you, brother!"

Chapter 1148 How old is he?

It's Niangen again, and the court is going up and down, and it's so busy.

Before the new year, all government affairs must be dealt with, and things cannot be delayed until next year.

Fang Xuanling felt that with his physical condition, he could still work for at least another ten to twenty years. In a short time, he did not intend to give up his position as chief assistant.

Not long after I got home, I was woken up by someone just as I fell asleep after eating something.

Putting on a Yanju suit, she rubbed her eyes and walked into the living room.

Only then did I realize that the person who came was actually Xu Jingzong!

Fang Xuanling really had nothing to say to this person.

Xu Jingzong was the only one who was an [-]th scholar of the Tiance Mansion back then, and is still wandering around the fourth-rank mark.

The others, even Su Xu, who has the lowest official position, are the grand prince Zuo Shuzi.

It doesn't matter if the official position is low.

The main reason is that Xu Jingzong, who was in the Tiance Mansion, was used to stealing, cheating, and stealing.

A little too gloomy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that if you get too close to him, you may be slapped hard by this old boy at any time.

When Xu Jingzong was in the court, he was just a nodding acquaintance with him.

Of the eighteen bachelors back then, those who died died, those who retired, and those who stayed in the court were all good friends.

Only this Xu Jingzong is not close to anyone.

As for why this fellow came over in the middle of the night today, Fang Xuanling didn't know, nor was he interested in knowing.

"Help me, Mr. Fang!"

What Fang Xuanling didn't expect was that Xu Jingzong knelt down as soon as they met.

"Brother Xu, why?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly lost all sleepiness, and hurried forward, trying to pull Xu Jingzong up.

Xu Jingzong refused to get up after saying anything.

Just keep saying 'help' or something like that.

Fang Xuanling was helpless by him.

"Brother Xu didn't explain the reason, Fang has nothing to do."

Xu Jingzong burst into tears, as if hiding his grievances.

"I'm asking for the chancellor to help you when the trial is held tomorrow!"

This sentence made Fang Xuanling understand the purpose of Xu Jingzong's visit, but it was even more strange.

After dawn, it was the day when Li Yifu and others were interrogated by the Dali Temple.

The case of cheating in the college's admissions exams has become a hot topic. From the prince of Jianguo to the common people, they are all waiting for an answer.

In the eyes of some people, learning is sacred and cannot be defiled.

In the dignified academy, there will be fraudulent admissions, which cannot be forgiven!

Prior to this, the bigwigs in the court agreed that the academy would use all its strength to resolve this matter.

But to everyone's surprise, tomorrow is the day of the trial, and none of the people from the academy showed up!

Even Yu Shinan and Gao Shilian remained silent and did not reveal any news.

It's not that Fang Xuanling never thought that people from the academy would come to ask for help.

This is normal.

Whether it is out of love for Li Yifu and other newcomers, or because of the love of the Liu family, Fang Xuanling should make a move.

He has been waiting for someone to open the mouth.

Otherwise, as the prime minister, he would not be able to act biased.

But whoever speaks, it will not be Xu Jingzong's turn?

How old is he?

In the academy, his status is at most a bit stronger than ordinary teachers.

There are not one hundred great Confucians in the academy, but eighty. Which onion is Xu Jingzong?

Why did he push him out alone?

Xu Jingzong's heart was full of pain.

"The Prime Minister doesn't know anything about it. The dean personally ordered that no one is allowed to go out. Xu also took advantage of the opportunity to go home to visit his relatives."

He quickly went through the incident and told Fang Xuanling about it.

After Fang Xuanling listened to it, while being greatly shocked, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

A new generation is better than the old ones, talented people come out from generation to generation

"These little guys are really not easy to mess with. In a few years, I'm afraid we old bones should avoid them."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"Would you like to help me, please ask the Prime Minister for an idea"

Xu Jingzong watched Fang Xuanling's expression carefully.

Fang Xuanling chuckled and said, "Come here, take a pen and paper!"

He wrote a note to Xu Jingzong and used the seal.

In this case, when Xu Jingzong goes out, he doesn't have to hide from Xuncheng Wuhou.

"Brother Xu, let's go back and rest, tomorrow's trial, we will see for ourselves!"

Xu Jingzong was somewhat skeptical.

But Fang Xuanling said the words to death, it is not good to stay any longer.

He could only take the note and leave the house.

After Xu Jingzong left, Fang Xuanling sat in the living room for a long time.

"What time is it?"

Someone outside replied: "Master, it's three o'clock."

Fang Xuanling murmured: "There is still some time, let alone!"

He stood up and said, "Give me a change of clothes, Master!"

The maids hurriedly changed Fang Xuanling into out clothes.

The famous Mrs. Fang came out, frowned and said: "It's late at night, I don't know where the master is going?"

Fang Xuanling was originally full of confidence, but when he heard this voice, he immediately shrank by three points.

"Madam, I'm going to the Du Mansion, and I won't be back for dinner tomorrow."

He laughed along with him, and his tone became extra cautious.

Mrs. Fang frowned, and said, "But it's about the academy?"

Fang Xuanling sighed quietly, and said: "The little dolls in the academy, none of them are easy to mess with. They are obviously the ones who caused the trouble. We old guys have to wipe their buttocks for them. It's really difficult."

Hearing that Fang Xuanling was going out at this hour and would not come back tomorrow, Mrs. Fang showed obvious displeasure on her face.

"Maybe it's good to go this time. Our family's bereavement is about to enter school age, and he didn't catch up with the first class. We can't let the bereavement fall behind."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang turned pale.

"Then master go early and come back early."

Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Madam for your understanding."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took the old servant and rushed to Du Ruhui's residence in a hurry.

The third watch is Zishi, and the fourth watch is Choushi.

Almost an hour later, it will be dawn.

Sitting in a carriage, Fang Xuanling searched all the way.

When they arrived at Du Ruhui's residence, where he lived the farthest, there were already six or seven people sitting in the carriage.

Even if Qing Yishui's important minister is not the leader of the three provinces, he is not far behind.

Everyone knocked on the door of Du Ruhui's house.

Du Ruhui, who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, was full of energy.

After his son Du He introduced Fang Xuanling and others into the living room, Du Ruhui smiled and said, "I already knew you would come, but we need to discuss carefully what the rules will be after dawn."

After Fang Xuanling sat down, the first sentence he uttered frightened everyone.

"Those little babies have already found the culprits. During the trial, you must not speak softly!"
