Royal Road

Chapter 4 Prime culprit

“What? Yan Sheng was blamed!” Hearing Jian Jia’s report, Li Lang’s face changed drastically, and he stood up with a squeak, “Did he hire anything?”

“No!” Jian Jia replied quickly, “I’m staring aside, the slave only said that he sold the cold food, and didn’t say anything else.”

“That’s good, that’s good…” Repeated unconsciously, Li Lang let out a sigh of relief, and then woke up again, “No, you must shut him up!”

Not daring to delay, Li Lang hurried to the courtyard with Jian Jia and a few personal servants. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a man being pushed to the ground, his thick wooden staff slapped on the flesh, his back was already bloody. Yan Sheng’s voice became dumb, and he was confused for a long time. Now that he saw Li Lang and his party, he couldn’t help shouting: “Little Lang Jun! Xiao Lang Jun! Help…”

“You bastard! Give me a slap!” Li Lang cried out, cutting off the other party’s words. The long follower behind him rushed up like a tiger like a wolf, and a short rod with a width of more than a square foot drew on Yan Sheng’s mouth. Only a few strokes of his teeth flew around, stained the ground, and knocked the shameful words back into his stomach.

Such a heavy hand, definitely can’t keep alive. Li Lang took another step and walked into the room. At this moment, the smell of medicine in the room is more serious, and the handsome man on the bed is crouching and coughing constantly, just like a plum branch that has been damaged by a squally rainstorm. If there is more wind and rain, flowers will fall everywhere.

A bit of unspeakable pleasure abruptly appeared in my heart, overwhelming the original panic. Li Lang stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: “Brother, don’t be angry. Then wait for the dirty slaves, just kill them, you can’t hurt your body.”

“No… he must have also sought other money and asked him to recruit…” Liang Feng coughed and said, this is not all acting skills. It is really in poor physical condition and can’t stop coughing.

Li Lang frowned. Liang Feng didn’t care about foreign objects so much before. Could it be that he was sick and confused? He winked at Jian Jia and said, “Don’t worry, I will send someone to search his room, and I will definitely get back all the money.”

Jian Jia Yihui, turned his head and said something to the servant, someone walked out quickly. It seems that this is to find someone to finish it off, Liang Feng sneered in his heart, and wiped his buttocks as soon as he came up. It was clear who was behind the scenes. It’s just that the original owner’s vague memories seem to have a good impression of this cousin. Why would this guy who looks like a dog suddenly attack him?

After twisting his mind twice, Liang Feng said out of breath: “Unexpectedly…these slaves would dare to deceive me like this…hehe! Third brother, this review…hehehe ”

The most vivid memory in this body is the evaluation of the nine-rank official. Clear to almost obsessive. Liang Feng simply threw it out.

Hearing the word “evaluation”, Li Lang’s expression changed a little, and he patted Liang Feng on the back with concern: “Brother, don’t be anxious. The evaluation is once every three years. If I missed this year, there will be opportunities in the future. If you are unwell, you have to participate, but you will be looked down upon by the Zhongzheng official. This time you can be Wang Zhongzheng. If you are promoted by the Jinyang Wang clan, your career will be difficult in the future. You should be relieved and recuperate. ”

Is this not allowing him to participate in the evaluation? Liang Feng gasped hard: “No, I’m not reconciled…”

Li Lang Meifeng picked up, and continued to persuade: “Brother, the body is broken, what’s the use of asking a nominee? Don’t forget, Rong’er is still at home waiting for you.”

Liang Rong is the youngest son of Liang Feng, who is less than four years old this year. Both Liang Feng’s parents have died, and his wife passed away with difficulty in giving birth. This is the only child in the family. In order to discourage him from participating in the evaluation, Li Lang moved all the children out. It seemed that he really didn’t want him to go.

Touching the opponent’s bottom line, Liang Feng closed his eyes as if giving up.

Seeing the dejected face of the other party, Li Lang sighed: “I will let someone clean the yard. Brother, please take care of the illness. If there is any need, Jian Jia…”

“Let her go.” Liang Feng yelled in a low voice without opening his eyes.

When Li Lang choked, he immediately understood that this was probably a joke when someone read it, and turned into anger from embarrassment. Now that the overall situation is settled, there is no need to struggle with this. He immediately smiled and said: “Then let Luzhu take care of it. If you have anything, you can send her to me.”

Liang Feng didn’t reply, and the frown between his brows deepened a bit. Looking at his cousin who was half-dead on the bed, Li Lang only felt that the stone had settled in his heart. He stood up and said leisurely: “You can rest first. Green Bamboo, take care of your family man.”

Soon, the irrelevant people walked away clean, leaving only the green bamboo alone by the couch. The room became quiet, and the pain was no longer so unbearable. Liang Feng was lying on the bed, silently thinking of Li Lang’s expression just now. He has been able to identify the murderer, but the motive of the crime is still unclear. That person doesn’t want him to participate in the evaluation? What is at stake here? Could it be said that if he participated, what negative impact would it have on Li Lang?

After a moment of silence, he asked: “Luzhu, can I be promoted to the top grade?”

It stands to reason that Lu Zhu is just a teenager, no matter how clever he is, he will not be clear about these official affairs. Liang Feng just asked casually, but she immediately bit her lip, and replied in a low voice: “Of course! Lang Jun is handsome and beautiful, handsome, of course he should be top grade! Oh, all slaves and maids did not serve well, if not When you are sick, how could Lang Jun miss the collection? As long as Lang Jun is there, anyone will be compared!”

Liang Feng froze for a moment, and couldn’t help making a gimmick in his heart. Girl, the selection of officials is based on wealth and ability? What does it have to do with being handsome or not? Wait, he opened his eyes suddenly: “Go get a mirror.”

Lu Zhu hesitated for a moment before he came back from the outside with a bronze mirror. He handed the mirror to Liang Feng with a very unbearable expression, and said in a low voice: “Lang Jun, you are just sick. When you get better, your appearance will be better. Got up…”

Liang Feng stared at the brightly polished bronze mirror, and did not speak for a long while. Is this his **** look bad? What should it look like when it looks good? ! The clarity of the bronze mirror is not enough, which makes the image in the mirror a little hazy. Even so, the face is not described by words such as “handsome” or “cream nanny”, but is actually “beautiful.” One more is gorgeous, one less is vulgar. However, this exquisite, feminine beauty does not compromise masculinity, but constitutes a transgender charm. In addition, Luo Qi’s sickly and weak posture is even more unforgettable.

It turns out that he has such a **** look as a “good-looking woman”. Liang Feng was almost half dead by thunder, not to mention his original gorgeous chest muscles and abdominal muscles, even his face has become this kind of disaster for the country and the people, still making people unable to live? ! However, Lei Guilei, who just couldn’t guess the motive for committing the crime, now finally has an answer.

Green Bamboo is right. In other dynasties, the selection of officials may be spelling literary, talented, or even daddy, but this is not another era, it is the Wei and Jin Dynasty who “looks like Panan” and “sees to kill Weijun”! It is a strange dynasty in history books where handsome guys are written in capitals, and girls go to the streets to throw fruits to chase stars. He also chased after a few girls who were studying literature and history, and of course he knew what the girls thought of the celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

With this face, plus the wealth of a “Tinghou”, as long as it is not a straw bag, Liang Feng will be treated with eyesight by the examiner if he wants to come. And Li Lang did not inherit the good looks of his mother, and his plain face was a tragedy under the background of this good cousin.

wrong? Liang Feng frowned. This did not constitute a reason for murder. He thought about it and sighed softly: “If I die unfortunately, Rong’er…”

Lu Zhu has been secretly looking at his Lang Jun’s face, watching him go from shocked to frustrated, to frowning, thinking that he was hurt by the look in the mirror. At this moment, his heartache is almost broken, and he quickly comforted him: “Lang You don’t have to worry, it’s just that you will get better if you don’t act properly. Rong’er Xiaolangjun is only Langjun you close relatives, even if it’s for Xiaolangjun, he should get better soon.”

Well, the last piece of the puzzle is complete. Liang Feng couldn’t help but smile from the bottom of his heart. This motive for committing the crime was really strange. Originally, Liang Feng and Li Lang’s conflict of interest was not serious, but this year’s sudden decision to participate in the evaluation of the Nine Grades of Officials made Li Lang’s heart grievances. More importantly, Liang Feng is facing the dilemma of being deprived of the title, so he must be more attentive to this evaluation, which makes Li Lang who participated in the selection face a severe challenge.

He didn’t want to be compared with his cousin, and he couldn’t stand upright to prevent him from participating in the selection. Poisoning became a necessary method. Thinking deeper, if Liang Feng died of a poisonous killing, his title would be passed directly to his young son Liang Rong. At that time, even if the court had the intention to cut the title, it might not be against a child with a yellow mouth. In this way, as Liang Feng’s aunt, Liang Shu and Li Lang have an excuse to intervene in the Liang family’s housework in the name of raising a nephew. To be rich and to be famous is not a cost-effective business.

All crimes are inseparable from money and sex. However, just because of a face was killed, it was so cold and funny. The sense of nonchalant laughter disappeared. Liang Feng’s gaze swept out of the window, and the shouting in the courtyard had long stopped. Yan Sheng should have been dragged down. Whether it was a stick killing or some other means, the silence was certain. What about Li Lang? Just let him get what he wanted?

The corner of his pale lips provoked a grim smile, and Liang Feng said: “Call A Liang over, I have something to tell.”

※

“You killed the Yansheng stick?” Looking at the son who was kneeling in front of him, Liang Shuliu frowned slightly, a little unexpected.

“Liang Zixi had a sudden attack and said that he wanted to exchange Hanshisan for money. His son was afraid that Yansheng would let out his mouth, so someone dragged him out.” Li Lang replied in a low voice, “Mother, did the man find something? ”

Liang Shu also thought of this, and after indulging for a moment, she sneered: “It’s okay. For a while, he still can’t get up, and this time the gathering is bound to be unable to participate. The Liang family’s Zhuangzi is the second and most important thing. Don’t let Liang Feng show up on the collection. Without him, there may not be any outstanding people in other houses. It’s not too difficult to come to you to build a second-ranking official. Only when you have a sixth-ranking official, you can enter. Served in the General House.”

The general mentioned here refers to General Ningbei and Sima Teng, the governor of Bingzhou. Today, the kings are fighting for ten years one after another. The mountains and rivers are broken, and the people have no livelihood. Both Luoyang and Yecheng were in chaos, Liang Shu thought very clearly that the kings killed you to death, and Sima Teng, who was far away in Bingzhou, did not participate, and still retained a lot of strength. Moreover, Sima Teng has a reputation for being humble and able to use his talents. No matter how he develops in the future, it is always right to climb this big tree.

It is a pity that the Li family is not a well-known family, and Li Lang’s father and brother are of average official status, and they are not eligible for the evaluation of the “second class”. If they can’t get the “Second Grade Talent”, they won’t be able to touch the threshold of the General’s Mansion at all. Now Sima Teng is eager to hire people, if you miss this review, after three years, everything will be too late.

A fire flashed in Li Lang’s eyes and said: “As long as Liang Zixi is gone, I will definitely be able to get the top grade, and I will live up to my mother’s painstaking efforts!”

Looking at his vowed son, Liang Shu’s eyes flashed with relief. Compared with the lustful husband and the eldest son with embroidered pillows, this young son is her biggest support nowadays. The Li family can no longer be defeated. If they can’t produce a clear official, for a few generations, let alone the gentry, they won’t even be able to act as a local tycoon. Her dignified daughter did not marry the Li family to be a peasant woman!

It is not too late to clean up Liang Feng after the official election. The Liang family’s family business must not be abandoned in the hands of that sick young man! Liang Shu secretly squeezed her palm, and patiently exhorted: “Wang Zhongzheng loves Buddhism and is good at rhythm. Langer, don’t go out for dinner these few days, and study those Buddhist scriptures and piano scores at home. Two days After that, it was Yaji, which was not to be taken lightly.”

For this assessment, the Li family did spend a lot of effort, how could Li Lang know. He nodded solemnly: “Mother, don’t worry!”

Without the scourge of Liang Zixi, that group of mediocre mediocrities, he didn’t care about Li Zhongming. As long as there is no Liang Feng!

The author has something to say: The Nine-Pin Zhongzheng system is called Jiu-Pin, but in fact there are only two upper and lower products. Because of the royal family, there is no first-grade, high-grade refers exclusively to second-grade. Only by being rated as the second-ranking can one obtain a Qingliu starting official and become the starting point for promotion to a high-ranking official. Inferior grades can only get dirty officials, and rarely can climb up to a high position like San Gong Jiu Qing. Therefore, there is a saying that “the upper-grade has no frustration, and the lower-grade has no influence.”

In the second-grade range, it is divided into the third grades: “burning second-grade”, “men second-grade” and “second-grade only worthy”.

“Second Grade of Burning Ran” can only be in the pockets of top wealthy families such as honorable royal relatives and high-ranking nobles, while “Second Grade of Door” is the middle-class noble family or top grade depending on the ancestor’s official rank, which can be regarded as an out-and-out second grade. As for the “Second Grade Talent”, it is the low-ranking gentry and local tycoons who rely on their outstanding talents to be listed as the top grade.

The Li family was almost in decline, so what he asked for was “second-grade talent.” The Liang family once had a big farmer (one of the nine qings) and was given a title. It is reasonable to say that it can barely be regarded as the “second grade”, and there should be a “second grade talent” at the worst. Therefore, Li Lang regarded Liang Feng as a thorn in the eye.

Regarding the chaos of the Sima family, everyone knows a summary. In short, Sima Yan’s brain was not good enough, and he felt that only relatives were reliable, so he assigned all military power to his brothers and nephews. Then he kicked his legs and returned to heaven, leaving a silly son as the emperor (that is, the Jinhui Emperor Sima Zhong of “Why Not Eat Meat”), and Hui Emperor’s wife, Jia Nanfeng, used the power of Runan Wang Sima Liang as a backing to exclude dissidents. Kill it when you are done, and finally play off. Several princes of the Sima family began a battle for the throne, which was known as the “Eight Kings Rebellion” in history.

But it’s fine if you have read these backgrounds. Young Master Liang is not familiar with Jin history, let’s follow him to see the world XD
