Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Standing by the window, Chu Zhuang heard the sound of the carriage leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Yun Mengxi didn't care about these things, he looked at Chu Zhuang worriedly and asked, "Chu Zhuang, did Chu Pengqing hurt you just now?"

Obviously he was still thinking about Chu Zhuang's injury.

Chu Zhuang smiled, but it was a pity that his hands were tied up and he couldn't hug Yunmengxi. He said in relief, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This Chu Pengqing has kidney deficiency and doesn't have much strength in his hands."

Seeing that Chu Zhuang was really fine, Yunmengxi was relieved, and he said angrily: "They are so hateful, we must not let them go!"

"Don't worry, things are going well, everything is going according to our plan, isn't it?" Chu Zhuang said with a smile.

"En." Yun Mengxi took the initiative to rest her head on Chu Zhuang's shoulder, and sighed slightly.

If it weren't for the terrible situation of Chu Zhuang, he wouldn't have resorted to making dangerous moves to put himself in such a dangerous situation

Yunmengxi's heart aches when she thinks about the pitiful little Chu Zhuang in her mind.

Chu Zhuang's chin slightly rubbed against the top of Yunmengxi's hair, his eyes were dark.

The members of the Chu family are all about plotting against others, so be prepared to be plotted against!

Bai Dali followed the carriage in Chuzhuang and the others from a distance. When he saw the carriage stopped at a remote section of the road, he felt nervous. Knowing that they were about to make a move, he immediately stopped the horse, led the horse and hid aside .

When the carriage was on the road again, Bai Dali didn't dare to delay, so he followed immediately.

Seeing them entering an abandoned hut in the forest from a distance, Bai Dali thought for a while, tied the horse by the tree, and walked over cautiously alone on the ground.

"Chuzhuang boy didn't resist today!"

Huang Chunhua was weak, so she was unable to rest next door. Chen Haocai and He Li were in charge of watching Chu Zhuang and the two. They would have nothing to do, so they started chatting.

"Cut, he's just a little scholar!" He Li's eyes flashed with pride, and he began to brag/force: "I was so intimidated at that time, he was so scared that he didn't dare to move!"

"He Li, how much do you think the boss can get this time?" Chen Haocai was not interested in He Li's bragging, and asked a question he cared about.

By now, Chen Haocai could see clearly that Chu Pengqing would never tell them the secret recipe of hot pot, so they can only share some money right now.

This made Chen Haocai a little reconciled. If the amount is satisfactory, then it's okay. If not, then wouldn't it be for nothing that he took such a big risk this time?

Chen Haocai realized that the reason why he followed Chu Pengqing was because it was profitable, so he inevitably had some small thoughts of his own on this matter.

He Li was taken aback for a moment when he heard Chen Haocai's question, then regained his composure, and guessed: "This Zuixianlou's business is so good, it shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Chen Haocai pursed his lips tightly, nodded and said, "It's better to be like this!"

Seeing Chen Haocai's expression, He Li raised his eyebrows. The two of them have been mingling together since they wore open crotch pants, which naturally saw through his thoughts.

He took a careful look and made sure that Huang Chunhua was resting in the next room, and then asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

"This kidnapping also took a big risk for us. It's impossible to get nothing!" Chen Hao said with a frown. At this time, he didn't have such a submissive appearance in front of Chu Pengqing.

"With the boss and his wife around, even if we have money, we can't share much." He Li shook his head and said.

Chen Haocai squinted his eyes, and the small eyeballs kept rolling. He poked He Li's side and whispered in his ear: "How about we steal a copy of this hot pot recipe?"

"Steal the secret recipe?!" He Li asked in shock as he was able to look at Chen Haocai with his eyes wide open.

"Keep down!" Chen Haocai hastily covered He Li's mouth with his hand, glared at him, and glanced at the next door. Seeing that there was no movement, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He Li smiled embarrassingly, and then said: "Even if we have the secret recipe, we can't open a hot pot restaurant under Chu Pengqing's nose, right?"

"Who said we're going to open a store, we got the secret recipe, can't we sell the recipe outside?" Chen Hao rolled his eyes and said.

"Sell the formula?!" He Li was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked after recovering: "What are you going to do?" Obviously he was also moved by this proposal.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao showed a smug smile, and said his plan in a low voice: "We will leave here after we get the secret recipe, and then we will sell it from county to county. The money you two earn is enough to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime!"

He Li's eyes showed a gleam, he grabbed Chen Haocai's arm, and said flatteringly, "Brother Chen made me rich!"

"Then let's do it like this..." Chen Hao knew that he couldn't do this alone, and when he saw He Li was persuaded, he immediately whispered his plan into his ear.

Bai Dali lay on the ground and saw the two people at the door whispering, so he knew that Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi should be imprisoned inside.

He thought for a while, instead of going in from the front, he carefully walked around to the back of the house and knocked on the window softly.

Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi heard the movement, looked at each other, came to the window, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

Hearing Chu Zhuang's voice, Bai Dali's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "It's me, young master!"

"Dali, go back immediately and tell uncle and teacher to do as I told you!" Chu Zhuang said immediately when he heard that it was Bai Dali.

Chu Zhuang did not tell Bai Jingting about this matter in advance. After all, the kidnapping has not been confirmed yet. There is no need to worry Bai Jingting for no reason. Of course, more importantly, if Bai Jingting knew, he would never allow Chu Zhuang to do so.

"Yes, young master! Then young master, be careful, I'm going now." Bai Dali didn't dare to delay, reminded Chu Zhuang, and left immediately.

Hearing that there was no movement outside the window, Chu Zhuang knew that Bai Dali had left, and he was relieved. Fortunately, everything was going well with the plan.

After Bai Dali left, he immediately rode towards the direction of the Baifu. On the way, he met Chu Pengqing's carriage, quickly avoided it, took another path, and rushed back to the Baifu in front of Chu Pengqing. .

"Master!" Bai Dali hurried into the White Mansion and shouted loudly.

"Dali?" Bai Jingting saw Bai Dali leaving and returning, showing a surprised expression: "Why are you back?"

"Did something happen to Zhuang'er?" Bai Jingting asked nervously, his expression changed.

"Master, master, he..."

Panting heavily, Bai Dali told about Chu Pengqing kidnapping Chu Zhuang and planning to deceive Bai Jingting.

"No reason!"

After hearing this, Bai Jingting's face turned red with anger, his eyes showed a look of hatred, and he wished he could go directly to fight Chu Pengqing and the others with a knife.

"They are deceiving people too much. I endured it no matter how hard they tried, but they still came up with such a vicious method to deal with us!" Bai Jingting said through gritted teeth.

"Master, don't be angry, the young master already knew about this, he was kidnapped on purpose." Seeing Bai Jingting so angry, Bai Dali said hurriedly, fearing that he would lose his temper.

Bai Jingting was slightly taken aback, looked at Bai Dali and frowned and asked, "Zhuanger knew he would be kidnapped by Chu Pengqing? Then why did he still..."

"The young master has his plan." Bai Dali approached Bai Jingting and told him about Chu Zhuang's arrangement.

"The young master has been oppressed by the Chu family for a long time. If they grasp the reason for their kidnapping this time, neither Huang Chunhua nor Chu Pengqing will dare to threaten the young master with their status as elders."

Ever since Chu Zhuang knew that Chu Pengqing had a plan to kidnap him, he made arrangements to solve this hidden danger once and for all.

"I see."

Bai Jingting nodded, sighed and said, "But Zhuang'er is too nonsense, if something happens by accident, what will we do?"

"Master, Young Master still has Young Master Yun by his side, and they will be fine." Bai Dali obviously knew that Yun Mengxi's martial arts was excellent, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Besides, the young master also has the young master's intentions, so he can't be threatened all the time in the future."

Bai Jingting pondered for a while, but still approved of Chu Zhuang's plan. Although this matter is dangerous, the benefits it will bring in the future are also very obvious.

At least there is such a reason, and these two people will never dare to play the prestige of their elders against Chu Zhuang in the future.

If Chu Zhuang returns to the Chu family, the situation in the Chu family will be much better.

"I see. You should go and inform the county magistrate. He needs his help in this matter." Bai Jingting nodded and said, "Leave Chu Pengqing to me to deal with it."

"Master, don't show your flaws." Bai Dali reminded cautiously.

"Don't worry, I know." Bai Jingting nodded, and replied in a deep voice.

Only then did Bai Dali leave in a hurry.

As soon as Bai Dali left the White Mansion, Chu Pengqing came to the door.

"Dear family, it's bad, something big is wrong!" Chu Pengqing knocked on the door of the White Mansion, and ran in in a panic.

Seeing Chu Pengqing's appearance, Bai Jingting sneered in his heart, and sighed secretly, he is indeed a person who often hangs around romantic places, and his acting skills have also learned a lot from those actors.

"What happened?" Bai Jingting frowned and asked pretending to be puzzled.

Chu Pengqing intentionally made himself a little embarrassed, he looked at Bai Jingting and said tragically: "We, we met robbers on the road!"

"They kidnapped Chu Zhuang and my mother, and threatened that if you don't pay the ransom and the hot pot recipe, they will kill you!"

After Chu Pengqing finished speaking, he looked at Bai Jingting's expression.

Bai Jingting pretended to be terrified. He shook his head and asked in disbelief, "How could it be? How can someone be so bold in this bright world?"

"We were in danger on the way back to the village. They saw that they were coming for you. Bai's family, you can ignore this matter, otherwise my mother and Chuzhuang will be in danger!" Chu Peng Qing wiped away tears and said worriedly.

Bai Jingting sneered in his heart, but showed annoyed look on his face, and said: "What should I do, I, I just donated all the money!"

"what?!"

When Chu Pengqing heard that all the money was donated, he didn't hold back for a moment, looked at Bai Jingting in surprise and asked, "Donated everything?"

"Hey!"

Bai Jingting told about the charity stele, pretending to be in a hurry, and said: "Now that the money has been sent to the county government, where can I pay the ransom?"

"No, no, I still have to tell the county magistrate about this, so that he can return the money to me, and also let him send someone to rescue Zhuang'er and the others."

Bai Jingting nodded and pretended to walk outside: "I'm going to find the county magistrate right now!"

Hearing that Bai Jingting was going to be kept, Chu Pengqing's expression changed with fear, and he quickly stepped forward to block Bai Jingting, and said anxiously: "No, you can't go to the county magistrate!"

Chu Pengqing is not stupid. His plan is too simple. If no one checks, he can pass safely. Once the county magistrate intervenes, their plan will definitely be exposed!

So he would never allow Bai Jingting to report to the official!
