Great Wei scholar

Although he didn't know what was going on, but seeing the aggressiveness of the other party, he knew it was not good, so he came forward to help his junior brother.

What he didn't expect was that his junior was worried that he was afraid of this mere Cheng Lidong.

It's not that Chen Xinghe is arrogant, but as a scholar, as long as he has reason in hand, why should he be afraid of everything?

He said so much today, not to pretend, but to teach Xu Qingxiao a lesson.

Say this.

Xu Qingxiao was a little dazed.

Good guy.

My senior brother really has something.

I allow someone to admire.

After hearing these words, Yinggoubi and the others were also a little dazed.

It's not that they haven't come into contact with scholars, but this is the first time they have seen such a situation.

Really brave.

But surprises are surprises, things still need to be done.

"It's getting late, I hope you two don't delay."

The latter spoke, but he was more respectful than before.

"Junior brother, let's go."

Chen Xinghe spoke calmly, and Xu Qingxiao didn't delay, and left with the other party.

But before leaving, Zhou Ling's voice also followed.

"Come back earlier, don't delay too long, I will invite Mrs. Xu Qing and Mr. Xu over tomorrow for my teacher, don't neglect Mrs. Xu."

Zhou Ling's voice sounded, and he said the words Xu Qing and Master Xu very emphatically.

The faces of the people with the hooked nose changed slightly when they heard this, obviously they knew who Xu Qing was.

Seventh Grade Confucianism.

He used to stay in Imperial Academy of the Imperial Capital, but now he is retired and returned to his hometown. He is a big man, although he has no power, he has a lot of power to speak.

Zhou Ling's words are another warning. It's okay to investigate the matter in the past, and it's okay to cooperate with the investigation, but people can't have accidents, and if they don't come back, there will be trouble.

The hooked nose glanced at Xu Qingxiao, a little curious and surprised in his heart.

Why in just ten days, this unknown person has been fawning on scholars?

And do scholars like to meddle so much these days?

Although he was curious in his heart, he didn't say a word on the surface, and led people out of here in a deep voice.

Three quarters later.

Ping'an County Government.

The county yamen has a gate and a side gate. Generally, the gate is closed, and it will only be opened if someone beats a drum to express their grievances. Otherwise, they will go through the side gate.

Xu Qingxiao followed the other party, stepped through the side door, and walked towards the inner hall step by step.

Crossing the place where the yamen tried the case, Cheng Lidong was seated first on the left in the inner hall, and Li County Magistrate was naturally sitting in the upper seat.

The respective police officers and officers of both sides stood behind, each with a calm face, but these two adults were talking and laughing while drinking tea.

After Xu Qingxiao arrived, their eyes fell on him in unison.

"Xu Qingxiao, I have met the county master and Mr. Cheng."

When seeing Magistrate Li, Xu Qingxiao was all smiles, but when he called Cheng Lidong, his smile restrained a lot, just a slight smile.

"Scholar Chen Xinghe, met the county magistrate Li, and met hundreds of households in the process."

Compared with Xu Qingxiao's expression, Chen Xinghe looked a little more proud. As a scholar, although he has no fame or official position, he is also a Confucian scholar who is about to be admitted.

In the future, his future achievements will definitely be worse than these two. Calling County Magistrate Li and Cheng Baihu is just a courtesy.

"Chen Xinghe! Are you Chen Xinghe? Haha, I have heard about your deeds. You are the number one talented person in Suicheng County."

Hearing Chen Xinghe's self-report, County Magistrate Li showed surprise immediately, and then praised him.

"Master Li praised you."

Chen Xinghe nodded, but still looked cold.

As for Cheng Lidong, he was a little curious. He glanced at Chen Xinghe, then at Xu Qingxiao. He was a little curious, how could Xu Qingxiao, a servant, get along with scholars so well?

The hooked nose came to Cheng Lidong's side, lowered his head slightly, and after whispering a few words, Cheng Lidong's eyes flickered with surprise, but he quickly restrained himself.

"Qingxiao, it's not a big deal for me to come to you today, I just want to see how your injury is, and then ask some small things."

Cheng Lidong spoke, and he looked at Xu Qingxiao, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Xu Qingxiao gave him an indescribable feeling. He hadn't seen him in just over ten days, but Xu Qingxiao seemed to be a different person.

But what exactly happened, he couldn't say.

Is it an anomaly?

No.

Cheng Lidong made an instant judgment that it was not a strange technique.

"The injury is okay, nothing serious, what do you want to ask Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Lidong looked at Xu Qingxiao again, and Xu Qingxiao was also taking a peek at Cheng Lidong. He wanted to see if Cheng Lidong was injured, but unfortunately he couldn't tell.

"It's fine, Qingxiao, I would like to ask, what did the fugitive do in the file warehouse that day, or did he take something away?"

Cheng Lidong asked casually.

"This... let the subordinates think about it."

Xu Qingxiao didn't answer directly, but pretended to think hard.

A little, Xu Qingxiao shook his head and said.

"My lord, I don't know about this matter. When the fugitive appeared, I passed out. How did I know this?"

Xu Qingxiao could tell that Cheng Lidong didn't want to ask this at all, but just wanted to see if there was anything unusual about him, so he just made up an excuse.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Qingxiao continued to pretend to be stupid. Anyway, the more he said, the more mistakes, and it would be good for him to say less.

"understood."

"If that's the case, we can only wait for the Fujun to send someone. This fugitive will be caught sooner or later. It's nothing more than a dead or alive capture."

"Okay, then don't bother little brother Qingxiao."

Cheng Lidong took another sip of tea and said very calmly.

"My lord is too serious, it is within my duty to cooperate with the investigation."

Xu Qingxiao nodded.

At this moment, Li County Magistrate's voice could not help but sound.

"Qingxiao, since you have recovered from your injuries, when will you return to work?"

sounded.

Xu Qingxiao spoke immediately.

"My lord, my subordinates may not be able to return to work. Master Zhou has accepted me as an apprentice. I am currently studying hard. I will go to Nanyu Mansion to take the government examination almost next month. I hope you will forgive me."

Xu Qingxiao told about his study.

At this moment, the inner hall became quiet, and everyone showed astonishment.

Especially those police officers, all of them showed disbelief.

read?

just you?

Chapter 24: Leaving Ping'an County within five days

Everyone in the inner hall was a little confused.

No one thought that Xu Qingxiao actually said that he was going to take the government examination?

Isn't this the spectrum of the world?

"Qingxiao, are you joking?"

The first person to speak was Chen Butou. He had known Xu Qingxiao for four or five years. Although Xu Qingxiao was handsome and handsome, the problem was that he knew who Xu Qingxiao was.

It's okay to let him practice martial arts, but let him study?Isn't this a joke?

And go directly to the government test?

This is to treat everyone as fools, right?

County magistrate Li was also confused.

government test.

What is this concept?

For normal scholars, if they want to obtain fame, they must go through the children's examination, the general examination, and the county examination.

Then you can go to the government test, after the government test, the county test, and finally the Jingke.

There is a saying that the children's examination is famous, the general examination of literary talent, the county examination is recommended, the government examination is famous, the county examination jumps the gate, and the Beijing division transforms the dragon.

As Xu Qingxiao is a yamen servant, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is going to study, even if he is going to take part in the children's examination, everyone will not have such a strong reaction.

But Xu Qingxiao directly said that he was going to take the government examination.

Those who can participate in the government examination are not famous and promising scholars.

Xu Qingxiao?

He took the government test?How could he not be surprised.

But before Xu Qingxiao could answer, Chen Xinghe spoke first.

"Junior Brother Qingxiao has good aptitude. He is a piece of jade. The teacher praised him many times in front of me. Reading depends on understanding. If you have the aptitude, studying for one day is better than others studying hard for a year."

Chen Xinghe's indifferent voice sounded, it seemed to help Xu Qingxiao answer everything, and also confirmed that Xu Qingxiao was not lying.

At the moment, everyone had to believe it.

There is no need for Chen Xinghe to lie about this for Xu Qingxiao, he can find out if he can take the government examination.

At that moment, County Magistrate Li couldn't help but speak.

"I didn't expect that there would be a scholar in my small county yamen, Chen Xian, you take 20 taels of silver from the yamen, and you can treat it as a trial for Qingxiao Mansion."

"Qingxiao, don't think it's too little. You should be more aware of the economic conditions in the yamen than we are. You don't have much money."

County magistrate Li will be a man, confirming that Xu Qingxiao is really going to go to the government test, regardless of whether he can pass or not, 20 taels of silver will be sent over first, as a token of his heart, it can be regarded as support for the scholars.

20 taels of silver is a lot.

Although there is no place to spend money right now, it does not mean that money is useless.

"Thank you, Mr. County."

Xu Qingxiao thanked him.

"It's okay, Qingxiao, study hard, take the imperial examination well, if you really can pass the government examination, you will have fame and fame, and you can enter the literary temple in our county, and honor your ancestors."

County magistrate Li said with a smile.

The most indispensable thing these days is warriors. There are few scholars, especially local scholars. Of course, this kind of scholars refers to those who have fame and fame. It is definitely useless to read a few books casually.

County magistrate Li naturally didn't think that Xu Qingxiao would be able to take the test in the government, he was just being polite. Of course, as long as Xu Qingxiao persists now, maybe one day he can take off.

"Master Cheng, since you have nothing to do, can I go?"

Xu Qingxiao looked at Cheng Lidong and said calmly.
